Kaifeng, outside Dongcheng!
At this time, Zheng Yaoxian had already sent Dragon Boat Festival out of Kaifeng City in his own car. Lao Abacus and the Dragon Boat Festival Guards are waiting here.
Duanwu made arrangements before being called away by Secretary-General Yang. He asked Lao Baanpan to tell Chen Shusheng to drive away all the vehicles in the backyard of the hospital. If the Chairman really pursued this matter, then he would not be able to find the most critical one. car, then the Chairman would have no evidence to convict Duanwu.
Of course, this was Duanwu's worst-case scenario, and as for whether the Chairman would choose to break up with him, or whether someone would confront him with substantive evidence, that was not his concern.
Because the key evidence has been transferred by him. If you want to convict me, you must find the car first!
Duanwu was sure that the chairman of the committee would not break up with him at this time, because he still wanted him to go to Shandong to take charge of the overall situation, so how could he fall out with him because of a little money?
What's more, even if he is really discovered by the Chairman, Dragon Boat Festival will have a countermeasure. As long as he told the truth that the money would be used to pay for the 22nd Army and the Northeastern Army, the Chairman would have nothing to do with him.
However, what Duanwu didn't expect was that the perfect combination of his and Zheng Yaoxian's double recitals would make the chairman unable to do anything, and then he left in a hurry.
Of course, the chairman of the committee was not a fool, so he sent Gao Zhanlong to contain Duanwu and Zheng Yaoxian.
In other words, Zheng Yao first gave something to Duanwu, and no matter what it was, he gave it away. According to the chairman's understanding, Zheng Yaoxian was taking the Dragon Boat Festival line.
Although this seems to be a good thing, the chairman of the committee hopes that Zheng Yaoxian will be obedient to him instead of Dragon Boat Festival.
Regarding this point, Duanwu is naturally very clear, otherwise how could Gao Zhanlong suddenly appear?
Duanwu felt that this old man was becoming more and more interesting, and his political methods were used to his advantage.
However, Duanwu didn't take it to heart, because first: he had already got the money, and the chairman of the committee was sent away by him. And secondly: things in Shandong must be resolved as soon as possible. Once a mutiny occurs, or someone defectes to the Japanese, it will be a fatal blow to the Battle of Taierzhuang.
So next, Duanwu and Zheng Yaoxian will act separately, one in the light and the other in the dark. The two will complement each other to stabilize Shandong's third group army.
"See you in Shandong then."
Duanwu shook hands with Zheng Yao and said goodbye. At the same time, Lao Abacus and more than 20 guards drove the car over and picked up Duanwu.
There are two vehicles in total, a military off-road vehicle and a personnel carrier. Chen Shusheng had already taken other vehicles and walked away in the direction of Bengbu.
Of course, Chen Shusheng would not go back by himself, but would wait for the Dragon Boat Festival halfway in order to prevent anyone from finding the truck full of money.
No one knows how much money is in the truck now, because no one gets on the truck except Lao Baanpan who got on the truck to check it out.
The same goes for Chen Shusheng. He was sitting in the car and other than checking the gold bars and various currencies in the box, he did not check the money.
Because first, Duanwu did not issue an order to check the money. Secondly, there is too much money. If you want to find out the specific amount, you need to move all the money, which is easy to expose.
It can be said that the attraction of this money will probably be far greater than the trucks of arms at the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if Chen Shusheng led the elite of the secret service battalion, he would not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Time passed by, and Chen Shusheng and his men were waiting in the woods a hundred kilometers away from Kaifeng.
This place is about thirty miles away from Shangqiu, and it is not the shortest way to Bengbu.
But they naturally have a purpose for coming here at this time.
There are two reasons why Dragon Boat Festival plans this route back to Bengbu. The first reason is that Dragon Boat Festival is going to the station of the 22nd Army to send some military pay to the 22nd Army.
The 22nd Army had no food to eat, no clothing to cover its body, let alone military pay.
So the first thing Duan Wu thought of when he took the money from Zheng Yaoxian was to solve the problem of military pay for the 22nd Army and the 51st Army.
Of course, it’s impossible to solve them all. Because as the Chairman said, the Sichuan Army is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money you have is enough to fill this hole.
Therefore, the money spent on the Dragon Boat Festival is only a drop in the bucket.
But something is better than nothing. With cotton-padded clothes, quilts, and another month's military pay, Duanwu believed that the Sichuan Army of the 22nd Army would roar.
The second reason is that during the Dragon Boat Festival, we need to avoid possible pursuers.
Duanwu's consideration at the time was that if the chairman continued to pursue the matter of him accepting bribes from Zheng Yaoxian, he would pursue his convoy after discovering it was leaving the city and intercept it halfway.
So Duanwu thought for a while, then changed his route and took a long detour, taking Shangqiu to avoid possible pursuers.
At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival has not yet arrived, and only Chen Shusheng and his people are hiding in the woods and waiting.
The sentries have been deployed, and the soldiers have also got out of the car to rest.
One of the veterans handed Chen Shusheng a cigarette. Chen Shusheng looked at the large front door full of cigarettes and said with a smile: "Okay, have you smoked all the cigarettes?"
The veteran smiled and said: "Aren't we not very rich in regimental leadership? I asked about it when we were in Kaifeng and found that our independent regiment is the only one whose military pay is paid in a timely manner. And our military pay is more than twice that of other troops."
Chen Shusheng said while smoking a cigarette: "That's right. Not long after you arrived, we were sitting together in the Sixings Warehouse. That is what is called a god."
At this time, thinking back to the Sihang Warehouse, Chen Shusheng still couldn't believe that the Sihang Warehouse, which could be called the Jedi, had become a slaughterhouse for killing Japanese invaders. In that battle, they directly killed a Japanese regiment. The corpses of Japanese soldiers piled up like mountains, and the rivers were filled with captured weapons.
As the veteran listened to Chen Shusheng's memories, his slightly weathered eyes gradually became brighter, and the fire of hope was rekindled.
He had experienced the Battle of Songhu. After the defeat in the battle, he kept running westward. He was separated from the troops and was still injured, so he found a small village near Kunshan Town and hid.
And until the Dragon Boat Festival riot in Shanghai, when he was fighting out of Shanghai, he was drafted into the army again in Kunshan Town.
At that time, he just wanted to follow Duanwu and escape to the Kuomintang-controlled area and then go home, but he didn't expect that the battles would turn out to be different from what he imagined.
Originally, he thought that they were simply fleeing, but it turned out that not only did the Japanese not even notice their shadows, but even the Japanese military supplies in Yangzhou were robbed by the regiment.
He was gradually attracted to the Dragon Boat Festival, and ended up staying there.
At this time, he wanted to laugh just thinking about it. He originally planned to go home, but after staying for a while, he didn't want to leave.
He smoked a cigarette and looked at the brother on guard in the distance, with an aftertasteful smile on his lips. He just didn't expect that at this moment, after a gunshot, the brother on guard was shot directly through the body! .
