Chapter 1346 White Dragon in the Waves

Xu Enzeng looked at the small steamer that was getting farther and farther away, feeling seven parts angry and three parts aggrieved.

In his opinion, no matter how fierce the fight between the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation was, he and Dai and Zuo were old acquaintances and they had some friendship. But these two people actually abandoned him, which was really disheartening.

Zuo Zhong seemed to sense the resentment and stuck his head out of the deck to look towards the shore. Coincidentally, the moon emerged from the clouds, and Xu Enzeng's slightly fat and lonely figure was very conspicuous in the moonlight.

"Eh? Isn't that Deputy Director Xu? Oh, what a pity."

"Yes, I think Deputy Director Xu is in big trouble this time. His birthday turned into a memorial day. It's really unpredictable."

Two voices came from the cabin. Zuo Chong looked over and saw that the speakers were Deputy Minister Yang and Lao Bai's family. When did these two guys get on the ship?

Realizing that Zuo Chong was looking at him, Deputy Minister Yang grinned, revealing his big white teeth. As soon as the gunshots rang out, he dragged Zuo Chong along and followed the Military Control Commission. Facts proved that his approach was very wise.

It must be admitted that when it comes to escaping, the officials of the National Government have always had an extremely keen sense of smell.

"Co-pilot, I have sent a message to the headquarters using the ship's radio. Support will arrive soon and the road out of the city has been blocked." Gucci walked out of the captain's room and reported a message.

Zuo Zhong discussed with Dai Chunfeng in a low voice for a few words, then raised his head and nodded slightly: "Well, let's continue watching the show. We will see less and less of Xu Enzeng's excitement."

Listening to the deputy director's weird words, everyone burst into laughter. Even Wu Chunyang, who was lying on the deck, smiled, but his movement hurt the wound on his buttocks, causing him to grimace in pain.

The laughter reached the shore. Xu Enzeng cursed "Miss Xipi" and ducked into the bushes, as nimble as a fat mouse.

Zuo Chong, who saw all this, smiled slightly. He was not worried at all that the underground party rescuers would be blocked by the Military Control Commission, because he had made corresponding arrangements as early as the beginning of the plan.

At the bridgehead of a highway bridge in the mountain city, Old K Xu Weiming looked at the approaching convoy, bent down and lit the fuse, the other end of which was connected to several explosive packs.

The fuse hissed and burned quickly. The military intelligence chief who came to help urged the driver: "Hurry! If anything happens to the chief and the deputy chief, I will skin you alive!"

Before he finished his words, a dazzling light flashed, and the stone bridge ahead was shattered into pieces with a deafening explosion, and the convoy suddenly stopped on the road.

The firelight illuminated the faces of the agents. The spy chief's face turned pale and he said fiercely, "Get out of the car and walk. Even if we have to crawl, we have to crawl to the scene."

Not only Zuo Zhong and the underground party were prepared, but No. 76, the Special Committee on China and Jiujiao Shu also had backup plans. Not long after the highway bridge was bombed, several other roads leading from the city to the police dormitories were also destroyed.

At this time, the fighting in the police dormitory had basically stopped. Wu Sibao walked up to the underground party prisoners, took out the list and photos, compared them one by one, and quickly determined the identities of these people.

He put down the information and said in a friendly manner, "Upon learning that you comrades were trapped, the superiors were extremely worried and ordered me to bring people to rescue you. Please follow me and retreat."

In this operation, the purpose of No. 76 is to control the core of the underground party's "Southern Committee" and then obtain intelligence through prisoners, so as to eliminate the underground party organizations in the puppet government.

In order to gain the trust of the captives and avoid any complications, Agent No. 76 needs to disguise himself as a rescuer of the underground party before arriving at the new government's territory to avoid any accidents along the way.

But all the underground party prisoners present were experienced intelligence officers, so how could they believe Wu Sibao's lies? Moreover, this man who claimed to be a comrade was living in peace with the Japanese, so there must be something wrong.

One of the underground party prisoners sneered and said sarcastically: "This comrade looks unfamiliar. I wonder what your name is and who your superior is?"

Wu Sibao had been prepared for this question. He laughed and said, "We should not stay here for long. It won't be too late to talk about it when we get to a safe place. Comrades, please believe me."

As he said this, he winked at his men, and traitor No. 76 immediately rushed forward, ready to forcibly take the underground party captives away from the scene.

"Bah! Dog traitor!" An underground party prisoner pushed the "rescuer" away with his shoulder, spat on the ground, and looked at him with disdain.

Wu Sibao's eyes flashed with ferocity. He was originally a Shanghai gangster with a violent temper. His sweet words just now were only to complete the task as quickly as possible, but now he simply stopped pretending.

"Md, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a penalty. Arrest him! Anyone who dares to resist will be knocked out!"

Following Wu Sibao's order, the underground party captives in handcuffs and shackles were unable to resist and were pushed towards the gate by the secret agents. The scene was in chaos.

At this moment, Kujo Shige and the Japanese spy chief approached with a group of people, including both Central Bureau of Investigation agents and underground party traitors.

"Let me go! Let me go! Mr. Ji and I are old friends, you can't kill me."

Chen Ran raised his hands and shouted at the Japanese and traitor No. 76, indicating that he was willing to surrender.

Xiao Tieguai, Li Xian and other traitors were even worse. They were trembling with fear and kept explaining to the Japanese spies and traitors that they only surrendered to the National Government in order to save their lives, and in their hearts they still agreed to save the country through a roundabout way.

When Wu Sibao heard this, he immediately became interested and offered to take over these traitors.

The General Staff's target was not the underground party. Kujo decisively ordered the transfer of the prisoner and conducted on-site interrogation of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents.

"Tell me, where is Xu Enzeng?"

"I don't know."

"Bah!"

A small spy from the Central Bureau of Investigation was shot dead. Jiujo Shizuo turned the gun to the forehead of another Central Bureau of Investigation agent, who begged repeatedly, saying that he really didn't see where Xu Enzeng went. Bang! Another gunshot, this person also had a wild imagination like the previous one.

The remaining young spies finally couldn't hold it anymore, and someone spoke up and provided a clue.

"I saw Deputy Director Xu running towards the river."

Jiujo Wataru's eyes lit up, and he immediately led his men to surround the place where Xu Enzeng might be hiding. Wu Sibao's eyes rolled around a few times, and he quietly retreated towards the gate.

At this point in the mission, No. 76 has achieved more than half of his goal. As for assassinating Zuo Chong and Dai Chunfeng, it is better to leave it to the Japanese.

Wu Sibao walked away feeling relaxed. He imagined the scene of himself returning to Shanghai and receiving awards for his achievements, and his steps became more and more brisk.

The other No. 76 agents were also smiling. They pushed the underground party captives to the safe house through a pre-planned retreat route. They would stay there for several days and return to Jinling after the storm had passed.

In the wasteland by the river, Kujo Wataru put his pistol against his waist, moved his feet lightly, and swept the surrounding bushes with sharp eyes.

Around him, Japanese spies from the Nakano School and the Special Committee on China formed a search network, advancing towards the shore little by little.

No one used a flashlight and no one made any noise. The cold moonlight shone on the ground, and a solemn atmosphere spread in the darkness.

After a long time, Jiujiao Shi suddenly shouted loudly: "Xu Sang, I received the mission to kill you, but now I decided to give you a chance. As long as you come with us, I will guarantee your life safety."

While trying to induce surrender, Kujo Wataru bent his knees to lower his body height and kept changing his position to prevent being shot from behind.

Unfortunately, his approach was like a deaf man flirting with a blind man, which was a waste of effort. If Xu Enzeng had the courage to fight back, he would not be Xu Enzeng.

In the bushes not far from Jiujiaoshe, Xu Enzeng lay on the ground with his butt sticking up, wishing he could bury his head in the soil, his two little eyes full of panic.

The rustling sound of clothes scratching against tree branches was getting closer and closer. Xu Enzeng covered his mouth, tightened his back door, and dared not make any sound.

He was lucky as several pairs of leather shoes stepped past him. The nearest Japanese spy was less than half a meter away from him but he didn't notice it. This really proved the saying that a disaster will last for a thousand years.

The Japanese spies searched all the way to the shore, but didn't see any people, not even a mouse. The support from the Kuomintang government could arrive at any time, and Kujo Wataru gradually lost his patience.

When carrying out secret operations in enemy-occupied areas, safety is the top priority. Once they are entangled by the Kuomintang military and police, death is the only thing that awaits them.

"set fire!"

Kujo Wataru issued a harsh order in a cold tone.

As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless. No matter where Xu Enzeng hid, as long as the fire started, he would have nowhere to hide. The only way to survive was to jump into the river.

But it is night now, visibility is very low, and the river water is very turbulent in early spring. A middle-aged man who has been in a high position for a long time and lacks exercise cannot survive long in the river.

Doing so was a bit of a gamble, but considering that the Kuomintang's reinforcements were getting closer, all the Japanese spies, including Jiang Baochun, had no objection.

Soon, several flames started in the dark wasteland. The fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind helped the fire. In a short period of time, the small flames turned into a big fire, and the heat wave forced the Japanese spies to retreat.

Seeing that the fire had already started, Kujo Wataru nodded with satisfaction, said goodbye to the people from the Special Committee on China, and slipped away without caring whether Xu Enzeng was dead or alive.

Today they killed dozens of "senior officials" of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and have completed their mission.

The Japanese spy chief under Hase also took Jiang Baochun away. Compared with Kujo Wataru, the two were calmer. This mission was just a temporary idea of ​​the chief, and success or failure was not important.

After the Japanese left, the seemingly deserted police dormitory was completely silent, with only the crackling sound of burning flames being heard from time to time.

Until they were sure it was safe, the guests crawled out from under the tables, cells and toilets one by one.

There is no need to elaborate on how embarrassed everyone was. Without exception, they all greeted Xu Enzeng's ancestors. They almost lost their lives while having a banquet. Xu Enzeng deserved to die!

The firelight reflected on the faces of the gentlemen and ladies, and these originally well-dressed and civilized people now had hideous looks.

If Xu Enzeng appeared here, he would probably be torn to pieces immediately.

But Deputy Director Xu had no time to consider the guests' feelings. He was forced to the riverside by the fire. Not wanting to become a roasted pig, Xu Enzeng gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and jumped into the Jialing River with a splash.

"Help~Gurgle gurgle~~Zuo Zhong~Gurgle gurgle"

Pushed by the rapids, Xu Enzeng sometimes raised his head above the water to call for help, and sometimes "swimmed" for hundreds of meters, like a white dragon in the waves.

There are poems to prove it.

I left Baidi in the morning amidst the colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day. The monkeys on both sides of the river kept crying, and Fat Xu had already passed through thousands of mountains.

Listen, it's so appropriate, it seems like it was tailor-made for Xu Enzang.
