absence

Yu Wenzhou's own investigation has not made any progress yet, but the news from the front reached him.

The sunlight in the office is bright but not warm, but it seems very quiet.At that time, in North China, the battle of Xuzhou had reached a stalemate.From the beginning of the battle, Yu Wenzhou began to collect the Japanese military intelligence that he could grasp. Through Huang Shaotian and the members of the military intelligence team, it was continuously sent to the front line of the war, which played a vital role in making correct decisions for the national army. role.

After the tragic Battle of Linyi, the Battle of Taierzhuang was crucial.If all goes well, the two main forces of the national army: General Zhang Zizhong and General Pang Bingxun will divide their troops into two groups to attack the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang, but the premise is that the national army must hold Taierzhuang and wait for the formation of the encirclement.

At this time, in Taierzhuang City, there was a person who was facing the same predicament as Yu Wenzhou was in the Northeast back then.

He is Sun Xiang, a rare young talent among the national army, a student of the eleventh period of the Whampoa Military Academy, one year younger than Lan He in terms of age, but with his extraordinary fighting talent, he served as the second group army of the national army after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War The commander of the 31st division.After Ye Xiu and Lan He graduated from the military academy, Sun Xiang was the most famous person in the next class. Some even said that he was a talent who could copy God Ye.Of course, due to Ye Xiu's status, these were private discussions among the students, but Sun Xiang was talented, this was a fact, and it was only natural that he was reused.

Sun Xiang had proved his talent with a very high winning rate in previous battles in North China, and it was precisely because of this that Li Zongren entrusted him with such an important task of guarding Taierzhuang.Here we need a strong general, a person who is not afraid of life and death but has the ability to win. Sun Xiang, a young and vigorous genius general who will not admit defeat, is the most suitable candidate.

However, the fighting situation is still very serious. At this moment, Taierzhuang is surrounded by the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army. The enemy is trying to break through the defense line of Taierzhuang before the arrival of Zhang and Pang. counterattack.Obviously, if Taierzhuang can be defended, the Japanese army will be surrounded, but if Taierzhuang cannot be defended, the national army itself will be wiped out.

"Issuing an order to the entire army, defend Taierzhuang to the death, and swear to live and die with this city!"

Three days ago, Sun Xiang issued such an order, which was extremely firm.In the past three days, the morale of the defenders has been high and they have not given up an inch of ground.

In this way, I persisted for three days, and another three days.

Next, one 30 days, another 30 days.

In this way, with no support before and no supplies after, Sun Xiang guarded Taierzhuang for nearly three months.Until the time for counterattack is ripe and friendly forces are deployed in place, we must continue to stand firm.

He looked out of the window at another rainstorm, recalling the casualty statistics reported just now in his mind, and it seemed that some emotions and thoughts had quietly changed.

Huang Shaotian found himself being followed.

His pursuit route first went north, and then he found that it was gradually heading west. He thought that these army mobilizations had something to do with the Xuzhou battle, but now it seems not so clear.Fortunately, he followed closely and did not lose his target.But now, he, who has been playing the role of a stalker, discovered that there was a tail behind him.Shaotian, who has always been talkative, couldn't help slandering himself: This can be regarded as a big failure in life.

This is a dense forest full of miasma.

He did not give up on the enemy's heels, which would immediately reveal that he was aware of the opponent behind him.Following the original route, Huang Shaotian sped up his pace instead, shortening the tracking distance, appearing more active and bold.

This is to sell a flaw to the opponent, so as to wait for the opponent to attack and reveal the flaw.

The purpose of the person behind him was to prevent Huang Shaotian from following him, but seeing that Huang Shaotian hadn't changed his route, he was dubious, not sure if he really didn't notice it or did it on purpose.But this person is also quite cautious, following in a leisurely manner without any reaction.This was rather uncomfortable for Huang Shaotian, because he found that the enemy didn't attack, but it was very difficult to get rid of them.

It's a bit tricky...

But this is not a problem for the legendary Juggernaut.

Others chose to hide and retreat, but he chose to take the initiative.Half an hour later, the pursuers lost their target in an instant. At the same time, the Japanese army was repairing in an open field, and the tail of the team was attacked by unknown armed forces.

The vigilant soldiers suddenly became tense. The attacker fled to the southwest of the team. The 20-man team at the end of the team was sent out to search and pursue. He was tracking Huang Shaotian's enemies in the dark, and followed the team simultaneously. He was still very cautious. , did not expose himself, but just distanced himself and followed the squad.

But this time the positions are reversed.

After a gust of irregular wind passed behind him, Huang Shaotian's knife had already passed the stalker's carotid artery, and this pursuit and counter-chasing came to an end.

Anqing, Anhui, seems to have reached the end of this army.

The Japanese army occupied all the abandoned factories here, and the perimeter was armed and tightly protected, as if it had become some kind of secret base.Huang Shaotian understood that the answer he needed, the answer Yu Wenzhou needed, should be right here.

Ye Yu is invisible, there is no annoying sound at this moment, only shadows that cannot be captured.I have practiced countless times before, and practiced the process countless times. At this time, I can't say that I am familiar with the road, at least it is commonplace.There is only a few seconds of decisive action time for each action, and there is only a few seconds of concealment time between this searchlight and the next searchlight. The guard soldiers in a group of five, and the changing of the guard every two hours, is reserved for Huang Shaotian. The only chance is the moment when the two teams pass each other and turn their backs on each other.

Like a ghost, he lurks into the core of the factory step by step, but what he sees, as well as the astonishment and shock of seeing these, far exceed any crisis he has experienced.

At the end of the night, Huang Shaotian quietly exited the dangerous area and arrived at the town of Anqing.

This is the method of the Japanese to cover up the real important military base here with the Chinese civilians living here and the daily garrison.What he saw last night made the shock in his heart not completely subside, but Huang Shaotian who was walking on the road was calm as usual, just like a resident here.

He decided to stay another night to find out the rules of entry and exit of foreign troops and their whereabouts.

This night, there is no need to risk his life to enter the heavily guarded factory, he is in the city, wandering around the various exits of the city.The troops that entered here were far more than those sent out, and most of them were similar to the one I was following, with empty armored vehicles and fully armed soldiers.Wherever they were sent, they were all sent in the same direction without exception.

That was all he could know.He was alone, and it was impossible for him to take on more tasks alone. The most suitable choice was to rush back to Nanjing immediately, and tell Yu Wenzhou what he had investigated, so that he could take the next step.

Before dawn, Huang Shaotian withdrew from the east side of Anqing City and started his return journey.

But he didn't expect that, just after he left Anqing, he was brutally attacked by a ninja knife behind him.After a fierce fight, the enemy fell under Huang Shaotian's knife, but there was more than one person behind him.Anqing City was originally a large performance factory under the control of the Japanese army. Since everyone was under control, the appearance of Huang Shaotian, an outsider, and his departure seemed particularly abrupt.

Because before him, no one could leave here.

For Huang Shaotian, this road of escape has just begun.

"Next, number 27."

Lan He, who was sitting at the desk, couldn't help but smile when he heard this number, with a relaxed feeling on his face, because this was the last patient in the afternoon shift.

The assistant opened the door, and a woman in a blue embroidered cheongsam came in. She had a pretty face, and she could be seen to be a little sickly and pale.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Hi sir, I have been sick to my stomach for several days, so come and see."

"What kind of work does the lady do? Do you eat and rest regularly?"

"It's not very regular. I'm a reporter for a newspaper. I often rush to write and forget the time to eat, and I often go to bed very late..."

"That should be an occupational disease. In this way, miss, go for an examination first, and I will prescribe medicine for you after the results are out."

The assistant led the patient out for an examination, and Lan He took the medical record in front of him. The name was written on the cover, in beautiful handwriting, but there was a hint of masculine wildness, with sharp and decisive writing.

Chu Yunxiu.

The bathroom was temporarily isolated from the noise outside, Yu Wenzhou locked the door unhurriedly, straightened his clothes and hair, and then turned on the faucet.

Huang Shaotian has been away for five days, and he hasn't come back, nor has there been any news.Yu Wenzhou believed in Huang Shaotian's ability, and also believed that he would not act recklessly. He must have rushed back to explain the situation to himself immediately, but now he had an unfounded worry that some accident would get out of control. More easily upset when alone.

When he gets along with Huang Shaotian, he believes that there is a heart-to-heart connection in the world.The last time Huang Shaotian left him to go on a mission alone and came back injured, he had this feeling of worry, and in the end this feeling was confirmed.So what about this time?

After all, facing so many enemies alone, it is normal for them to be injured. They are all soldiers. In Yu Wenzhou's eyes, Huang Shaotian is not a child who can't bear a little injury, but he really hates this kind of invisible. In a state of nothingness, it seemed that even if Huang Shaotian had an accident and couldn't come back, he would be the last person to know about it.

At that time, all he was left with was the feeling of powerlessness, which was really hateful.

However, all Yu Wenzhou can do now is wait.Holding the warm water to his face made him feel a little dissatisfied. At this time, the cold water would make him calmer. The life and death of the person who can give him tenderness is still uncertain.

"Stop wasting water."

Looking up, it turned out to be a familiar face.

"You are so bold," Yu Wenzhou chuckled helplessly, "Have your people heard about Shaotian?"

Ye Xiu had an expression I knew, and curled his lips, as if flicking a smoke that didn't exist with the corner of his mouth.

"No. You also know that the Shenlong of your family has never seen the beginning or the end when he is on a mission. Except for you and me, that is, Lanhe and the others know about his affairs in Shanghai. No one else on my side knows, nor do I. There is a way to send someone out to look for it. You can’t let him find out that we have a connection, you can only wait for him to contact you.”

Yu Wenzhou had expected such an answer a long time ago, but asked without giving up.

"You should also be ready. According to my news, Ye Qiu will arrive tonight."

"I know, let's take care of Gu Shaotian. If he comes back, he might not go to you directly, and he probably won't go to the transfer station either."

"If he encounters a situation where he cannot approach the transfer station, he will still come to me."

"Let's hope nothing happens."

It's rare that Ye Xiu didn't speak with the inherent sarcasm, but was quite sincere.But Yu Wenzhou also had no time to celebrate such a once-in-a-century discovery of conscience, he only hoped that Huang Shaotian would come back in good health, alive and kicking, and it didn't matter if he chattered.

Time to get rid of the last two.

Huang Tian hid in an abandoned warehouse in a small town, checking the ammunition on his body, and dealing with the injuries on his back.He has now arrived at Jurong, not far from Nanjing, and the four people behind him became two, and Huang Shaotian tried his best to kill two of them on the way, and the combined strength of the remaining group was comparable to that of Huang Shaotian.

The current Huang Shaotian's injuries are enough to put an ordinary person in a coma for several days.It has to be said that from the perspective of physical strength, he is at a disadvantage.But he must deal with the people who followed him, and he couldn't bring them into Nanjing City. Yu Wenzhou was in Nanjing, so it was too dangerous for Yu Wenzhou.

Since the two can't fight together, find an opportunity to separate them.

So in the eyes of the two Japanese, their target seemed to be looking for a traffic station in Jurong City, preparing to pass on information about Anqing.After Huang Shaotian showed up in the warehouse, they found radio parts that had been "inadvertently" discarded in the warehouse, and they were immediately very nervous.Originally Huang Shaotian was intelligence, he was alone, as long as he was killed, An Qing's secret would not be made public, but now if he found the organization, everything would have a different meaning.

Huang Shaotian was wandering among the bustling crowd at this time, and the two people behind him were planning to catch all of them together with Huang Shaotian and his accomplices, so as not to leave any future troubles.

Finally, the target enters an inn. 10 minutes later, came out again, no check-in.

The two acted decisively and split up. One of them stayed in this inn, investigated the identity of the owner, and looked for a radio station that might transmit information, while the other continued to follow Huang Shaotian.

It was night, the person lurking in the inn slipped out of the guest room, wandered in the corridor for a while, smoked a cigarette, and quietly touched the backyard.Except for a dim kerosene lamp flickering at the door of the stable, all the lights in the other rooms were out, and the inn boys were all asleep.

Maybe there should be some kind of cellar... During the day, the Japanese army moved a telecommunications search vehicle, and the radio station should not be placed in the house.Borrowing the kerosene lamp and the moonlight, he opened his eyes and carefully searched for unusual decorations, when suddenly a gust of wind passed behind him.

The professional habits made his heart suddenly ring with alarm bells, someone is coming!

Someone was indeed coming, and an extremely fast knife was attacked from the left. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, swayed to the right, and then turned around and drew the knife to fight back.

But I never expected that the opponent's attack was so fast that it was unimaginable. He had just finished the attack on the left side, and now he should retreat or bow down to avoid his counterattack, but the moment he turned around, the man in the dark, with a kind of The unnatural agility dodges to his right side, such a speed may not be able to see the movement clearly even in daytime.

It was too late to realize the opponent's position, the waist was penetrated by the blade, and severe pain hit.

But he didn't intend to just admit it. This is a serious injury for an ordinary person, but it is not a death sentence for an agent.

Hold your head up and fight again!

But there was no chance. After finishing the violent attack on his waist, the opponent didn't stop for a moment. He turned around and leaped towards the well platform behind him, using his strength to leap into the air. on the carotid artery.

There is no hesitation or procrastination, the speed is too fast to react, and the movements are seamlessly connected, step by step.

This is his true speed when he does not conceal his strength!

Huang Shaotian leaned forward, leaning on the edge of the well to support his body.No one knows how much effort he spent on the perfect attack just now, the wounds on his abdomen and back were completely torn due to the violent activity just now, and he seemed to be able to see the deep red blood slowly oozing out in the pitch black, staining it red clothing.

But he didn't have time to rest, the other person he just dumped would arrive soon.For him who was almost exhausted, what followed was a life-and-death battle.

"Director, the result is out."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can get off work first. I prescribed medicine for this lady, and I went downstairs with her. I will unlock the door."

"Ok."

Hearing the footsteps of his assistant leaving, Lan He opened the medical record book and began to write in a hurry.

"Miss, do you want to use traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine?"

"Both Chinese and Western are fine, as long as it works."

Words are clear.

"Hi Lanqiao, I'm Misty Rain."

"Hello. Is there any news from the lonely boat?"

Guzhou is Yu Wenzhou's latent code name in the puppet government.Chu Yunxiu was sent by Chongqing after receiving Yu Wenzhou's report. His task was to assist in the next step after he investigated the reason for the secret transfer of the Japanese, and he was single-line responsible for the connection with Chongqing during this series of tasks.

"Not yet, Ye Yu hasn't come back."

"That……"

"Don't worry, trust Ye Yu's ability. When I get the news, I will come to you again in the name of a follow-up visit, and we will discuss the next move."

"Ok."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Is your stomach trouble real?"

Chu Yunxiu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she didn't expect this "Doctor Xu" to care about this issue.

"No, I took a cold shower yesterday, why don't I pretend to be sick?"

"Oh, that's good... I'll give you another banlangen. It's not good if you have a cold."

"Thank you."

When the lights came on, the Yip's Firm in the French Concession was decorated with dazzling neon lights, showing the nobility of the building.

Ye Xiu was dressed in a black suit, carrying a brand new leather briefcase, and strode into the door with his head held high, as if he was returning to his own home.In fact, from the perspective of the employees here, he has just returned to his home.

"Hi Dong Ye."

"Director Ye is back."

Ye Xiu, who was usually slovenly in the military command, behaved politely at this time, nodding and smiling to everyone who greeted him in response.

"I'll go back to the office directly, just call if you need anything."

The secretary behind him walked towards his secretariat on the first floor, and Ye Xiu went upstairs alone, leaving a chic and comfortable back view in the busy hall.Due to the long-term and careful maintenance of the heavy wooden door, it is not difficult to push it open, but you can take advantage of this to enjoy the fragrance of high-quality wood.

Hang up the do-not-disturb door sign, close the door and turn on the lights.

"Brother bastard, you still know how to come back."

Under the gorgeous crystal chandelier, there are two identical handsome faces, and there is a long-lost reunion smile.

A colleague from the hospital pulled Lan He to have dinner, and it was already nine o'clock in the evening when he got home.

Blue River's house is rented. This building has three floors. His room is on the side of the top floor. It is convenient for him to climb the wall and go out in the middle of the night when he has a task, without disturbing the landlord.

There was only one overhead light in the corridor, and with the help of the not-so-bright light, he walked to the door of the room, and Lan He took out the key to open the door.However, the moment he opened the door, he suddenly became nervous.

There was a hint of blood in the house, not strong enough to alarm the neighbors and landlord, but it couldn't escape the nose of the medical staff.An ominous premonition flooded his mind, and for some unknown reason, Lan He subconsciously worried about Ye Xiu. Could it be that he got injured while on a mission?

"Blue River?"

After confirming that only Lan He came in and there was no danger, the person sitting on the chair in the darkness struggled to stand up, and the knife in his hand was put back to his waist.

This voice is not Ye Xiu...

Lan He turned on the light, stepped forward to hold his arm, but was even more surprised than seeing Ye Xiu.

Huang Shaotian? !

In Lanhe's impression, Huang Shaotian, or Ye Yu, is a god-like existence, victorious in all battles, and is one of the best in the army in melee and long-range combat.Many people regard him as a role model and a goal, and Blue River is no exception.But this time, what he saw was Huang Shaotian who was seriously injured.How terrifying was the opponent he encountered? !

But he couldn't tolerate Lan He thinking so much.After being completely sure of his safety, Huang Shaotian let out a long breath, and finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

It had been three months, and Sun Xiang had almost forgotten how his troops looked intact when the war started.

Running out of ammunition and food has never been enough to describe their current situation. There are only two words that can barely and directly express the state of everyone in Taierzhuang: exhaustion.

Physically exhausted from the long battle and loss of supplies.Weary inside because they are waiting to die.

The war on the northern front was advancing very hard, and it took a long time and huge casualties to win every city.At the same time, the crisis on the southern front waits for no one. The [-]th Division surrounded Taierzhuang heavily. The reinforcements transferred from Shanghai and Nanjing are still heading north. Divide, nibble step by step.Not to mention the rescue of Taierzhuang, General Pang Bingxun's own troops are still under siege by the Japanese army.

Everyone had unconcealable exhaustion written on their faces.This is their battlefield or homeland, and they are unwilling to give up and leave, but sticking here and approaching death step by step, this process is really too cruel.Before this, Sun Xiang had always been a fierce general who didn't know how to back down. If the enemy was stronger, he would be stronger. He would rush to the battlefield no matter how dangerous it was. No matter how difficult the task was, he would fight to the end to complete it.

But this time is different.

You yourself are not afraid of anything, and you are willing to go up and die, and if you sacrifice, you will be buried in the green hills, without any worries or considerations.But what about the soldiers who follow you?What about the men, women and children in the city?They follow you desperately to defend their homeland and to live in peace in the future.But if the fight continues like this, before the reinforcements arrive, the people in the city will be exhausted.

No one has parents, no one has brothers.

He is not afraid of sacrifice, but he does not want to bring the people behind him to die.He didn't want to make this victory meaningless when it was over with only graves left behind.

So at the last moment when he could retreat, Sun Xiang sent a telegram requesting to retreat.He let go of his innate pride and the glory of only knowing how to move forward but never to retreat. He didn't want to be greedy for life, but just to preserve the lives of these people.

When Huang Shaotian woke up, it was already the next morning, and Lan He, who had been busy all night treating his wounds, was getting ready to go to work with dark circles under his eyes.

"Young Master Huang, you're awake!" Lan He was surprised and delighted to be able to wake up so quickly with such serious injuries.

"I'm sorry I came to you directly without saying hello... I was so injured that I didn't dare to go to the traffic station for fear of exposing the radio station. I didn't even dare to go to Wenzhou. It would be terrible if I fell in front of his house in this state ..."

Lan Hexin said that he really deserved to be a chatterbox, he talked so much intermittently as soon as he woke up.

"Fortunately, you came to find me. The injury is so serious that I won't be able to cure you any longer. I'm safe here. You rest first. I will send Yifan to take care of you."

"Please contact Wenzhou for me, tell him I'm fine and let him not worry."

"I see."

When Lan He went to work, he left a do-not-disturb sign at the door.When they arrived at the hospital, they found Qiao Yifan. The latter excused himself from feeling unwell, so he hurried back to Lan He's house to bring Huang Shaotian lunch and change his medicine.Back in the office, Lan He called Yu Wenzhou's confidential secretary and asked him to come over and get the report of Yu Wenzhou's physical examination at the hospital a few days ago. passed on.

In the evening, Lan He returned home, and Qiao Yifan returned to the hospital to make up the night shift.

After sloppy eating some bland and tasteless white porridge, Huang Shaotian continued to lie down.Originally, such a dinner would be a great harm to a foodie, but at night, the anesthetic failed, and the wounds all over his body began to attack him, especially the two inch-deep stab wounds on the back and waist, which were even more painful It hurts if he doesn't turn over while lying on the bed, and it hurts even more when he turns over. Every time he moves, he has a grinning expression, which makes Lan He feel terrified.

But this state didn't last long, and Huang Shaotian's attention was forcibly diverted.

I thought that Yu Wenzhou would wait for Huang Shaotian to find him, or let Lanhe pass on the information Huang Shaotian brought back, but unexpectedly, at 12:30 that night, the wind chime at Blue River's window rang, and Yu Wenzhou came by night dressed in black.

"Wenzhou?!"

When Yu Wenzhou saw Huang Shaotian lying on the bed, all his worries these days were confirmed.In fact, when Yu Wenzhou found out where he was, Yu Wenzhou was heartbroken, because he knew that Huang Shaotian didn't come to him directly, it must be in order not to cause accidents and hurt himself, so it meant that Huang Shaotian's physical condition was out of control.

But when you actually see it, these feelings double in an instant.It seemed like the last time in the Northeast, Huang Shaotian fell into his arms and woke up from a coma for a few days, with the same expression as now, always happy to see him, showing an apologetic smile after a child got into trouble.

Yu Wenzhou couldn't be happy at this time of his life after the catastrophe.He was the one who issued the reconnaissance order, and the result of regaining the lost is good, but the process has been tormented. The frightening thing is that such "loses" do not know how many times there will be, and such "gains" are not sure whether they can reach the end .The person lying on the bed always had a smiling face, and always cared so much about Yu Wenzhou's safety that he was covered in bruises and almost died.

"Young days..."

He refused to let Huang Shaotian get up, walked over by himself, gently held his lover's hand and sat on the side of the bed.

"Wenzhou, let me tell you that I found out..."

At this moment, the good-looking fingers were attached to Huang Shaotian's lips, and the sound was stopped with a gesture of silence.

Then, they kissed in Xiaming moonlight.

The assistant went out to arrange the examination of the patients behind, and Lan He lowered his voice to speak.

"What are you doing here? Ill? Broken head?"

"Don't take you to curse people like this, Dr. Xu."

"Then hurry up and talk about something, I still have so many patients here!"

"Ahem... It's really not fun at all. Let me tell you, I have received a mission, and you may be interested."

"You go, I'm not interested, I still have my own tasks."

"Hey, that's just right. You tell me your mission, and I'll tell you mine. How fair."

"Go, go! Don't think about it no matter how many times I've said it! If you're not sick, hurry up and go, there are still patients behind."

"Don't be so fierce... In this way, I will draw something for you. If you understand it, let's continue talking. If you don't understand it, I won't delay you and disappear immediately."

Lan He looked at Ye Xiu with the expression of looking at a mental patient, and the other party took the blank prescription form on Lan He's desk, tore off a page, and completed his mission goal with a few strokes on the desk.

With just a glance, Lan He let out a long sigh, cursing inwardly, why are you everywhere...

Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party received the same task, because this task was given by the same person, this is Yu Wenzhou's double insurance.

What Huang Shaotian discovered in Anqing was a chemical experiment base of the Japanese army. Its function was to develop and process chemical weapons, which are often referred to as bacterial bombs and poisonous gases. The finished products will be used in the attack on Wuhan, and after that in North China and East China. battlefield.They basically sealed off Anqing County, and used the abandoned factories on the edge of the county to remodel them. The civilians in the city, to put it bluntly, could become their experimental products at any time.

Such an inhumane act was unknown because of the news blockade. If the war in Wuhan was not imminent, and the Japanese army in East China began to mobilize troops to Anqing to transport weapons, Yu Wenzhou would not have discovered everything here.But since it is discovered, it cannot be allowed to continue to exist.

It is not feasible to directly blow up the factory, that would destroy the entire county and bring disaster to the civilians in the city.Therefore, both Ye Xiu and Lan He received tasks to try to destroy the key equipment for making weapons in the factory, and to obtain the vaccine formula for these bacterial strains.This kind of task is unprecedentedly difficult. With the action team and no military support, it is not easy to leverage the Japanese protection of the factory like an iron wall.In addition, Yu Wenzhou also gave a time limit.

According to his estimation, the battle of Xuzhou would end at the end of June at the latest, and after the end, regardless of whether the Japanese army won or lost, the battle to defend Wuhan would definitely start in July.Excluding the time-consuming vaccine development, it is now the beginning of June, and they have less than a month left.

Five people from Ye Xiu's team, five from Blue River's team, and a team temporarily transferred from the Shanghai Action Team by the □□ superiors, a total of 15 people, worked together to complete this task.

The only person who made Ye Xiu look not very excited was the temporary team leader, Tao Xuan.

"Our existing resources are the simple floor plan of the factory, the floor plan of Anqing County, and the storage location of key experimental equipment. When we arrive in Anqing, we still need to investigate where the completed bacterial bombs are stored and where the vaccine formula is. Etc. When we arrive in Anqing to investigate the situation, we will decide what to do. The code name of the operation is poison."

"The weapons are all here. Everyone is wearing a uniform. Each person is equipped with two guns, four guns, four guns, and their own cold weapons." After listening to Ye Xiu's mission introduction, Lan He After that, the weapons sent by the military commander were distributed.

Ye Xiu handed over an M1935, and Lan He smiled, as a compliment for remembering his favorite gun.Then, when Lan He took the gun, Ye Xiu pulled it. When he approached, Lan He found that there was an extra note in his hand. He understood it and didn't say anything.

After returning home late at night and opening it, Lan He was a little puzzled by the contents.

"Seven o'clock tomorrow night, Phil Club. Open the jacket."

Jackets?

There was a very hard piece of paper hidden inside the jacket. When I opened it, it turned out to be an invitation. The time was [-] o'clock tomorrow night, and the place was at the Phil Club. The inviter clearly wrote: Ye's Firm, Ye Qiu.

There is also a pick-up ticket for suit customization.

It turns out that this gentleman's suit shop is also a secret contact point of the Communist underground party.Blue River picked up the suit and went home to find that there were still two boxes of Browning's spare bullets in the suit.Ye Xiu revealed their contact point to him so casually, which really made him a little dumbfounded.

Dare to say "you come to our side" that Ye Xiu has been talking about since the meeting in Nanjing, it's not just a joke.I really don't shy away from myself at all.

But Lan He could only treat him as casual talk.

Suits are beautiful, it's true.

At seven o'clock that night, Blue River arrived on time at the Phil Club, which was full of feasting and feasting.

The gate is so lively, luxury cars come and go, luxury businessmen get off the cars, and there are often beautiful and elegant young women and ladies around them, talking and laughing happily.The banquet supervisor at the door greeted them, accepted the invitations of the guests, ordered the waiters to put away their coats, and sent people into the resplendent hall.

"Doctor Xu?"

Surprised by someone stopping beside him, Lan He turned his head and saw Chu Yunxiu in a wine red evening dress and a silk blouse.

"Presumably you were also invited by Ye Qiu to the banquet, let's go in together."

It was good not to mention it, but when the name Ye Qiu was mentioned, the doubts that had just been suppressed by Lan He surged up again.He only knew Ye Xiu, and this invitation was also given to him by Ye Xiu. Why was Ye Qiu the inviter and the chairman of Ye's Firm?If it was said that Ye Xiu needed a pseudonym to carry out latent missions in Nanjing, this behavior of not even changing his surname and showing his face in public was too bold.If this Ye Qiu wasn't Ye Xiu... Blue River couldn't figure out the connection for a while.

"Sister Yunxiu, you know this Ye Qiu..."

"Go in first, he's inside, don't you know when we meet?"

After she finished speaking, she laughed and put on Lan He's arm, her high-heeled shoes stepped out gracefully on the steps, her smiling face full of spring and her innate noble temperament brightened the eyes of the group of people who greeted her.

Few people in the hall knew Lan He, but quite a few of them knew Chu Yunxiu and came to say hello along the way, and quite a few people knew that there was a doctor surnamed Xu in the Army Hospital.After a while, he came to the center of the banquet hall. Lan He picked up two glasses of red wine on the table beside him, handed one to Chu Yunxiu, held the glass in his hand, and saw that familiar side face in a blink of an eye.

"Chairman Ye."

Hearing Chu Yunxiu came to say hello, that person turned around and smiled, the moment his eyes met Lan He's, Lan He suddenly felt very strange.

The person in front of him is indeed Ye Xiu...but he just changed into a formal suit and dress, why does his whole person feel completely different to Lan He from his eyes to his demeanor?

For a while, Blue River didn't know how to respond, but greeted Ye Qiu politely.In the next blank moment, Ye Qiu had already walked past him to receive others.Lan Hexin said that the acting skills were really good, and he acted so well that he believed that Xu Boyuan and Ye Qiu met for the first time at this banquet.

Almost all the people arrived one after another. Ye Qiu took to the stage to give a speech, intending to express Ye's firm's gratitude to people from all walks of life in politics and business, and hope to work closely together in the future to create a peaceful and stable situation in Nanjing.After a polite conversation, Lan He stood among the crowd off the stage, and felt that the lives on stage were divided.

After the speech, it was the dance.At that time, when the popular dance music in Nanjing and Shanghai was played, the atmosphere in the whole hall became lively.Out of etiquette, Lan He logically invited Chu Yunxiu who came with him to dance the first dance.Tall and tall, he is holding a noble and elegant lady on his arm. In Ye Qiu's opinion, it is also a rare sight in a banquet.

After the song ended, Lan He and Chu Yunxiu stepped aside
