Zeng Binjie was stunned and asked, "Do you know Xie Xuan?"
Yang Zhiyi said: "After dealing with him, this person seems ordinary on the surface, but in fact he is very powerful."
Zeng Binjie said: "Xie Xuan suddenly escorted Zheng Haixiong to the battalion headquarters last night, and then took control of all the officers above the platoon level of the first battalion, and then announced that he would take over the first battalion. He paid the soldiers and made them drink alcohol. Today he even killed them. With a few pigs, the first camp is now as lively as the Chinese New Year. This man is indeed very powerful, ruthless in his actions, and his attacks are steady and ruthless. Zheng Haixiong is also considered a tyrant in Dongtai, and he has taken care of him."
Yang Zhiyi warned: "This person has cracked down on many anti-Japanese organizations in Shenpu. You must be more vigilant."
Xie Xuan did not expect that the comrades of the Dongtai underground party would be particularly wary of him because of this.
He walked around Dongtai County with Naomi Ueno during the day, and went to the casino to win money at night.
As for the flower house, Ueno Naomi was determined not to let him go.
Xie Xuan has sent the information back to the mountain city, and the mission is completed.
There was nothing Shancheng could do against Hua Zhongyang. After all, there were no national troops around. Even if there were, they would not dare to engage in firefights with Hua Zhongyang's troops.
If you want to deal with Hua Zhongyang's department, you can only rely on the New Fourth Army!
Xie Xuan went to the casino mainly to obtain information about the Dongtai underground party.
Several of Xie Xuan’s questions were answered by underground party comrades:
First, if Zheng Haixiong is not in the first battalion, "Winter Melon" can basically control the first battalion, or at least two companies.
Second, if Hua Zhongyang is not here, the most likely person to replace him is Zhou Zhengming, the deputy brigade commander and commander of the first regiment. Peng Guowen, the commander of the second regiment, is more upright and graduated from Baoding Military Academy. The combat effectiveness of the second regiment is also higher, but the equipment is worse. , not liked by Hua Zhongyang.
Third, our party should be able to control about one battalion of troops in the Eighth Brigade.
Xie Xuan put forward his plan and asked the Dongtai underground party to tell the superior departments. It would be best to directly ask the head of the New Fourth Army for instructions.
Xie Xuan's plan has two steps: first, find a way to replace Hua Zhongyang in Shancheng, appoint Peng Guowen as the brigade commander of the Eighth Brigade, and transfer Hua Zhongyang to the security commander of Jiangsu Province.
Although Hua Zhongyang will not execute this appointment, it will allow Peng Guowen to succeed Hua Zhongyang legitimately.
The second step is to clear the way for Peng Guowen.
Although Xie Xuan had no contact with Peng Guowen, the underground party had inspected him, and Xie Xuan fully believed in the judgment of the underground party.
The third step is to expand the Eighth Brigade into the Second Army. Since the establishment is large, it is natural to expand the army.
Let the surrounding local troops take the opportunity to break into the puppet army, which will not only replace the equipment, but also strengthen the strength of the Second Group Army, laying a solid foundation for the Second Group Army in the future.
The fourth step is, of course, the Second Army anyway.
Of course, this is Xie Xuan's general idea. Whether it can be implemented smoothly and in place requires the cooperation of many parties.
Xie Xuan's plan was very long anyway, and Yang Zhiyi's radio station sent the report for a full two hours.
After receiving the confirmation code from the other radio station, the woman rubbed her sore wrist, took off her headphones, and stood up.
As soon as she stood up, she almost fell down and quickly held onto the table with both hands.
Yang Zhiyi immediately said: "Be careful, go and rest first when you are tired."
The woman waved her hand: "It's okay, it's just that my legs are numb after sitting for a long time."
"It should be okay tonight. You can go to bed early. Tomorrow, you have to watch the radio. There will definitely be new instructions from the headquarters."
The woman shook her head: "That's not necessarily the case."
When she sent the telegram, she also read the contents of the telegram and knew that it was an extremely important telegram.
If the entire Hua Zhongyang's army can succeed in instigating rebellion, it will affect the entire strategy of central and northern Jiangsu.
She admired the comrades who proposed this plan and was very fortunate to be able to participate in this plan.
The woman stubbornly waited until midnight, when the radio station did not receive any signal, and then went to sleep.
Xie Xuan was at the Shunchang Hotel, but he didn't sleep all night.
He spent the first half of the night in the casino, and after returning to the Shunchang Hotel in the second half of the night, he kept deducing his plan in his mind.
If the call back from Nanjing doesn’t come tomorrow, it will come the day after tomorrow.
Once Nanjing announces the appointment, it will be much more difficult to implement the plan.
Moreover, we have to get in touch with Zhou Zhengming and Peng Guowen tomorrow.
I have made an appointment with Hua Zhongyang during the day to meet with the main military officer of the 8th Brigade tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Xie Xuan accompanied Ueno Naomi to the street outside and had Dongtai's special breakfast.
When passing by the casino, Xie Xuan saw that someone had drawn two triangles with chalk on the wall near the casino.
This was a code message left to him by the Dongtai underground party, indicating the new information in the dead mailbox.
what to do?
Gambling at this time is somewhat unjustifiable.
Ueno Naomi noticed Xie Xuan's absent-mindedness and asked casually: "What are you thinking about?"
Xie Xuan said: "My hands are itchy when I see my money bag."
He almost didn't sleep all night last night and spent the first half of the night gambling. This required concentration, otherwise it would be difficult to win money in the casino.
In the second half of the night, he kept deducing his plan, and his brain was highly active.
"I really don't know what fun you guys have in this messy place."
Xie Xuan said: "You don't know that the process of winning money is very pleasant. That feeling is almost better than being with you."
Ueno Naomi gave Xie Xuan a white look and said, "I don't feel that you are happy being with me. Are you happy?"
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "My heart is full of passion and impulse, and my reason prevents me from taking a step beyond it. Only in the casino can I fully release it."
Ueno Naomi smiled and said: "Pfft, you are a duplicitous guy, your mouth is like the end of honey. Okay, you just go to the casino in the evening."
Xie Xuan asked: "You can go to Honglan Villa later, and I can play a few games, okay?"
"Give you half an hour, I'll wait for you to go with me."
"Okay."
Xie Xuan ran over happily, why did he need half an hour? It only takes a few seconds.
Naomi Ueno looked at Xie Xuan's background and shook her head helplessly.
Men, they are all the same.
When Xie Xuan ran near the casino, he quickened his pace, took out his cigarette, lit it, and walked quickly towards the casino.
He didn't see it clearly, and his body rubbed against the wall, just in time to erase the two triangles.
He stopped, reached out and patted his clothes to shake off the chalk dust. At the same time, he quickly looked around, especially in the direction of Ueno Naomi. He slowed down after finding nothing unusual.
When passing the dead mailbox in front, he quickly stretched out his thumb and index finger, pinched it gently, and pulled out a broken brick. Then he used his ring finger to pull out the note inside, and then stuffed the broken brick back.
The whole process is like flowing clouds and flowing water, completed in one go.
His movements can be described as swift, and even if you are looking behind him, you may not be able to see his movements clearly.
