The Spy

Chapter 432 Big Boss Xu Xiaoer

As time passed, the Japanese finally chose to launch an attack on Xiaohuangshan on the 30th day of the Chinese Lunar New Year.

The New Year is of great significance to all Chinese people. The new commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command, Yasui, is determined not to let the little Huangshan people have a good New Year, or he is deliberately disgusting them.

On New Year’s Eve, the battle begins.

With a regiment of Japanese soldiers and six planes, the battle was very difficult.

In Shanghai, Fu Wenzhen hurried to Xu Qingyun's office.

"District Chief, I have found out that Jiang Zheng and his men have successfully broken through."

It was already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the battle of Xiaohuangshan had ended.

The Japanese deployed too many troops, four times the number of Xiaohuangshan, and had air superiority. Even though Niu Yuanxiang made a lot of arrangements, he had never actually commanded this kind of battle.

After holding out for four days, Niu Yuanxiang decisively ordered a breakout and transfer.

Fortunately, they still had a fallback route, but this route was difficult to travel on, and they could not carry any large items, so they could only carry things that they could carry with them.

Niu Yuanxiang was forced to abandon some supplies and move with the rest of the people.

In this battle, Xiaohuangshan lost more than 400 people, and now the total number is less than 800.

The new strength gained from several victories was lost.

However, the Japanese did not have an easy time either. Even with air support, they still lost nearly a thousand lives.

This result made Yasui very angry.

Not only was their casualty ratio more than twice that of the Chinese, but in the end they were unable to completely wipe out this group of bandits, allowing them to escape.

He failed to make the first move as a newly appointed official.

Not being able to wipe out the entire enemy was a failure for him. Fortunately, the people in Xiaohuangshan were forced to move, which saved him a little face.

Yasui also removed the commander of the corps.

The captain of the wing was not his man to begin with. If they won, he would be credited, but if they lost, the captain would have a greater responsibility. They didn't lose this time, but they failed because they didn't achieve their original goal, which gave Yasui an excuse.

"Be careful, I'll change your dressing."

In a canyon, Jiang Zhengzheng was helping a wounded man rebandage his wound while Niu Yuanxiang was watching him from the side.

In this battle, Jiang Zheng showed great bravery and was in no way inferior to them.

Not all the people in the Military Control Commission are cowards. At least Jiang Zheng and his friends performed well.

During the battle, no one was afraid, and no one ran away. They all persevered to the end. Two people from the Military Control Commission were killed and two were injured.

Jiang Zheng also suffered some minor injuries, but he was always concerned about others along the way, especially the wounded, and it was Jiang Zheng who was always helping them.

Niu Yuanxiang's eyes were bright. He could see that Jiang Zheng was not pretending or deliberately trying to win people's hearts. He really cared about these people.

During this period, he got to know Jiang Zheng better.

It was not until Jiang Zheng was born into an ordinary family, his family was not particularly well-off and he had lived a hard life that he developed sympathy for the poor people.

He is hardworking and down-to-earth, and is a person who is willing to get things done.

Niu Yuanxiang didn't expect that the Military Control Commission would actually send him a talent, a real talent.

Niu Yuanxiang's heart has become active. People like Jiang Zheng have a good foundation and positive ideas, and are very suitable for development.

Fu Wenzhen thought so at first, and now it is Niu Yuanxiang's turn.

The purpose of Xu Qingyun sending Jiang Zheng here has been achieved.

However, if you want to develop Jiang Zheng, you must report to the organization and proceed only after the organization's investigation and approval. You cannot act rashly.

Niu Yuanxiang was not in a hurry, especially now that the people of Xiaohuangshan needed a new place to settle down.

The benefits of their joining the Loyal and Patriotic Army became apparent once again.

In any case, they were ostensibly members of the Military Control Commission, and this time they were fighting against the Japanese and had achieved good results, which brought honor to Boss Dai.

Wherever they go, Boss Dai needs support.

In Shanghai, Xu Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Xiaohuangshan had broken through and Niu Yuanxiang and Jiang Zheng were both safe.

It's good that everything is okay. Even though the strength gap between the enemy and us is so huge, we can still achieve such results and successfully bring the people out. This is enough to show Niu Yuanxiang's ability.

Xiaohuangshan’s achievements have a lot to do with their terrain.

The place was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it was located in the mountains, which really restricted the Japanese. It would have been difficult to achieve such results in other places.

But to win is to be proud.

Boss Dai has already had people publicize the great victory at Xiaohuangshan, and the forced retreat has turned into a strategic shift. The Wuhan Independent Regiment of the Loyal and Patriotic Army will continue to fight and eliminate more Japanese.

In recent times, quite a few Japanese have been killed in Xiaohuangshan.

And these are real results, not false reports.

One brigade commander of the Wuhan Garrison Command died, one brigade commander was removed, and half of it had to be rebuilt. These are the evidence.

No one can deny their achievements.

Time passed slowly, and in 1939, life was not easy in all parts of China.

Wang Tianhai's surrender to the enemy at the end of last year brought very bad consequences.

The Detective Department of the Special High Police was renamed the Special Agent Headquarters, which was snatched away by Kagesawa and named the Ume Agency, becoming a sharp weapon in Kagesawa's hands.

Tu Yuan had no choice, but Xu Xiaoer continued to stay in the secret service headquarters.

Under Xu Qingyun's arrangement and with Tsuchihara's acquiescence, Xu Xiaoer had a new backer, Yingzo.

For these Japanese, anyone who can help them make money is a talent they like.

Yingzuo wanted to snatch Xu Xiaoer away, but unfortunately Tuyuan disagreed. If he really did that, Tuyuan would immediately attack Xu Xiaoer, and then neither of them would get any benefit.

Xu Xiaoer's business wouldn't be possible without him.

In particular, all channels only recognize Xu Xiaoer and no one else. This is Xu Xiaoer's ability.

There are also some changes in the Shanghai area.

At the end of the year, Zhao San was promoted to colonel due to his merits. Just then, an accident happened at Changsha Station. Boss Dai was furious and removed the station chief and a number of senior executives.

Zhao San went to Changsha and took over as stationmaster.

Originally, Boss Dai wanted Fang Laibao. Fang Laibao had been the deputy district chief of Shanghai for so many years and was fully qualified to take over the Wuhan station. As a result, something happened at the headquarters at the same time, so Fang Laibao went to the headquarters and took over the position of director of the interrogation department.

Changsha Station can only be given to others.

Initially, Boss Dai had chosen Yan Ming, but unfortunately Yan Ming was unwilling to leave. Eventually, Yan Ming was promoted to deputy district mayor of Shanghai, and Zhao San went to Changsha.

For Zhao San, promotion was a good thing, and Xu Qingyun did not stop him.

In early 1940, the weather was very cold.

The streets of Changsha were filled with depression. The Japanese wanted Changsha, but unfortunately they failed to achieve their wish. General Xue held on to this place firmly and prevented the Japanese from advancing further.

Fortunately, Changsha is still there. If Changsha was lost, the Japanese could move all the way west and even reach Chongqing.

If that time really comes, the old man will probably have to retreat to the northwest, and the domestic war of resistance will become even more difficult.

A convoy came from the north and was immediately stopped by the guards at the Changsha city gate.

After they saw the convoy's credentials clearly, they saluted and let it pass.

They had the passes issued by the Military Control Commission.

The Military Control Commission has been at its peak in the past two years, and its power has increased a lot. They have provided a lot of important intelligence, and Boss Dai has won the old man's trust.

The Military Intelligence Bureau supervises the military and police, and these soldiers dare not offend anyone from the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Inside the car, Xu Xiaoer looked out the window.

In the past two years, the scale of his business has expanded significantly, and now he has become a real smuggling tycoon.

He holds a very high status among Japan's top leaders.

Among the traitors, he is already a figure that can be ranked.

Even Wang Tianhai had to give him some face. And the things he smuggled also made Boss Dai a lot of money. The Japanese didn't care who he smuggled to, as long as it brought them enough benefits.

He came to Changsha in person this time to discuss a business deal.

Talk to the Military Control Commission.

Yingzo knew about this, and so did Tsuchihara, and neither of them objected. Now, of the money Xu Xiaoer earned, except for 10% which he kept, the rest was divided between Yingzo and Tsuchihara.

This business will bring them hundreds of gold bars in profit every month in the future.

With so much money every month, it would definitely be an astronomical figure in a year.

Xu Xiaoer's convoy arrived at the largest hotel in Changsha. Changsha is now a war zone, and there are not many people in the hotel.

Those who have money and connections in the city have either gone to Chongqing, Hong Kong or other places. They will not stay in the city. War is ruthless and bullets have no eyes. In times of war, the rebels are even more terrifying.

They are more ruthless than bandits.

If you stay in the city, these wealthy families will often become their targets. The smart people have already left. Even if they want to come back, they have to wait until things are stable, not now.

In the evening, Zhao San brought people to the hotel.

Xu Xiaoer was already waiting for him in the room.

Today, Zhao San represented Boss Dai in negotiating with him.

"I am Zhao San, and I am honored to meet Mr. Xu."

Looking at his apprentice whom he hadn't seen for more than two years, Zhao San was a little excited, but there was nothing unusual on his face.

He acted very well and came up to shake hands warmly.

"Stationmaster Zhao, you are too polite. Please come in."

Xu Xiaoer smiled, he was also excited. Before Zhao San left, he wanted to meet Xu Xiaoer once, but that was a critical moment for Xu Xiaoer.

Xu Xiaoer brought a lot of important intelligence to the Shanghai area from the Special Agent Headquarters and the Special High Section.

Now Xu Xiaoer has been promoted to lieutenant colonel because of his merits.

His development history is completely different from that of another world.

They were not the only ones in the room.

The two people are in different camps, and they will definitely be suspected if they chat alone when they meet for the first time.

This time, I have to bring other people along for the negotiation.

The negotiations went smoothly. Boss Dai wanted more goods, and Yingzuo and Tsuchihara both had their own requests.

Both parties reached an agreement and were very satisfied.

The deal was done.

The next afternoon, Xu Xiaoer went out quietly. He didn't go far, and he couldn't go far.

"Master."

In a safe house, he met Zhao San again, and Zhao San was also alone at this time.

"Yes, I have matured a lot."

There were only two of them, and Zhao San no longer looked like the webmaster he had before. He walked up to Xu Xiaoer, hugged him, and said happily.

"Master, I miss you very much."

"I miss you too. You have it harder and suffer more than me."

Zhao San nodded heavily. He was now in Changsha, which was a Kuomintang-controlled area, so his safety was guaranteed. Xu Xiaoer was not only in the enemy-occupied area, but also in the heart of the enemy.

And he did it so well.

Among all the undercover agents in the entire Shanghai area, no one can compare to Xu Xiaoer.

"Master, I'm not miserable at all. Haven't you noticed that I've gained a lot of weight?"

Xu Xiaoer said with a smile, while Zhao San sighed slightly. Eating well does not mean that everything is good, especially the mental stress.

Xu Xiaoer is undercover, and if his true identity is discovered by the Japanese, he will be finished.

From the moment he was captured by the Japanese, he had to keep his nerves tense at all times and not allow himself to reveal any flaws.

Otherwise, it would not only harm him, but also Bai Xu.

"Being fat is good, it makes you feel happy and fat."

Zhao San laughed and looked at Xu Xiaoer carefully, not wanting to blink.

Xu Xiaoer was in hiding, and no matter how much he missed her, he could not mention anything about Xu Xiaoer.

We can’t even keep a photo of Xu Xiaoer.

Xu Xiaoer's appearance could only be remembered in his mind.

"Master, you have matured a lot. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to stationmaster yet."

"What's there to congratulate, Station Master? Actually, I'd rather stay in Shanghai."

Zhao San sighed. What he said was true. If Boss Dai had not given a death order and Yan Ming was unwilling to leave, he would never have come to Changsha.

Yan Ming is the district chief's most trusted confidant. Even if he is a secretary, he cannot compete for this position.

In the end, he is the only one who can come.

Besides, the Japanese have always had his photos, and it would be more dangerous for him to stay in Shanghai.

Being promoted to stationmaster is a good thing in the eyes of outsiders, and it is in his own territory, which increases security. Others cannot understand why Zhao San does not want to be stationmaster.

How could they know that there was someone he cared about in Shanghai.

For Xu Xiaoer, there were people he cared about in Shanghai. After hesitating for a while, Xu Xiaoer finally said nothing.

Xu Xiaoer was very smart and perceptive. He felt that Bai Xu had become a little different.

He and Bai Xu are husband and wife and they are very familiar with each other.

Bai Xu's mental state has obviously improved a lot recently, which is a good thing, but Xu Xiaoer discovered that Bai Xu did something secretly and even hid a banned book in a hidden place in his home.

Bai Xu is reading a book of the Red Party.

Xu Xiaoer didn’t know whether she had joined the Red Party, but judging from her state, she had obviously been attracted to the Red Party.

The current Xu Xiaoer is no longer the last student in the class.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has been reborn.

After he found out about Bai Xu's affair, he did not make it public. He knew his wife very well. Bai Xu was a kind person and was stubborn.

He couldn't force Bai Xu to do anything.

Even if Bai Xu listened to him and didn't do it in the future, Bai Xu's mood would definitely be affected.

Bai Xu graduated last year and now teaches in a school and has become a teacher.

She likes this job very much.

People in the school don’t know Bai Xu’s true identity, they only know that she is married.

If people in the school knew that her man was the traitor Xu Xiaoer, many people would probably be afraid to have contact with him.

Especially since Xu Xiaoer was also a spy.

He is now deputy director of the Secret Service Headquarters.

Just like the previous Detective Department, no one cares about him as the deputy director. On the contrary, no one in the entire secret service headquarters cares about him, including Director Ding Mo.

Xu Xiaoer still controls the purse strings of the secret service headquarters.

If these people want money, they have to go through him.

He has money and connections, people behind him, and a group of subordinates who are willing to work for Xu Xiaoer. In addition, he has good relations with bigwigs from all sides. Only a fool would offend him.
