The secret war is silent

The order to evacuate finally came.

Luo Yao originally thought that it would be delayed for a few days, and that he might not officially start until the beginning of July, but the mountain city gave him another task.

Take "Zhang Yuanliang" back to the mountain city together.

This is fucked up. He is a military commander escorting a local official from the Central Military Commission into a mountain city. What are the bosses thinking?

Such a task would never have been proposed by Dai Yunong. Someone must have brought it along to cause trouble. Logically speaking, he was investigating the case of "Xiang Hongyun"'s mysterious death.

The investigation of the case has long been completed, and the conclusion has been sent back via telegram. The most that can be done is to go back and hand over the case file and be done with it.

Who would have thought that he would have to carry a tow bottle with him along the way? Not one, but two. Yoshizawa Yagyu has been carrying this for several months.

He could leave this person to the Fifth War Zone, but this guy was Kondo Keiichi's, and he still had some value.

It would be too cheap to kill him so early. You have to squeeze out all his value.

"Hey, Brother Gao, I can't do it tonight. I'm summoned by Mr. De. I dare not not go. Tomorrow at noon, right?" A call came in. It was Gao Xingyun from the Secret Service. He asked him to have dinner and practice. He is leaving soon. In the past two months, I also made one or two good friends, such as Gao Xingyun, and Huang Weigang, who was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the 33rd Group Army. These two had been in the trenches together and had a life-long friendship. Then there were Wei Zhiming, Huang Xuecun and others who I often interacted with. Yes, we have a good relationship.

You don't need to have many friends, just a few. Luo Yao doesn't like being too high-profile.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gao Xingyun also knew that Luo Yao couldn't turn down Li Delin's appointment. If old Li was unhappy, it would be troublesome to wear small shoes for him.

You have to eat after dinner.

Li Delin already valued him very much. The ordinary division commander and army commander left without seeing him hold a banquet to practice.

Luo Yao is just a colonel, and he is still so young. In the Fifth War Zone, there are a lot of major generals, let alone colonels.

Not at the commander's headquarters, but at Li Delin's residence. This could be considered a family dinner.

"Gong De, this junior is really flattered!" Luo Yao followed Li Delin into the dining room of his residence.

"It's just a meal, what's the point of being flattered? You're like those old scholars." Li Delin laughed, "When I was in the mountain city, didn't I go to your house to bother you?"

"If Duke De comes to the mountain city again, I will definitely sweep up the couch to welcome him!" Luo Yao said respectfully.

"Haha, I'd better go there less often, lest you Boss Dai get suspicious and always think I'm poaching him."

Luo Yao smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer this question.

"Sit down, it's just the two of us tonight, how about something simple?" Li Delin rolled up his sleeves. This was because the weather was a bit hot.

"sure."

"The weather is a bit hot. I don't have an electric fan here. I have a cattail leaf fan. Do you want one?" Li Delin asked with a smile when he saw that Luo Yao was sweating on his forehead.

"Thank you very much Mr. De."

Li Delin called the guards and brought over two cattail fans, one for each person, one old and one young, and they started "fanning" like this.

"I usually eat only two dishes and one soup. My favorite is green vegetables and tofu. But today I am giving you a farewell, little friend. I, Lao Li, can't be too shabby. I asked the kitchen to cook you some Guangxi specialties. I know if it suits your taste." Li Delin raised his finger and pointed at several dishes on the table that looked pretty good.

"What did Mr. De say? These are already very good." Luo Yao said hurriedly. He knew that it could still be considered passable at the moment, but as time went on, life in the Fifth War Zone would become more and more difficult, with natural disasters and man-made disasters. will follow.

The suffering China has to go through purgatory before it can be reborn from the ashes. From now on, no one can stop us from moving forward.

"Come on, come on, fill up the wine!" Li Delin stood up, picked up the wine bottle, and poured wine for Luo Yao. Luo Yao quickly got up and stood up, "Master De, I'm rude to you, this junior."

"Excuse me. You are a guest today and I am the host. It is the host's duty to pour wine for the guests." Li Delin said, "This is not a theater headquarters. Don't treat me as a commander. I don't How about treating you as a military spy?"

"How dare I, this junior, be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Virtue!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Li Delin smiled, waved his hand and said, "As soon as you leave, it will be difficult for the Fifth Theater District to take the initiative against the Japanese army in deciphering secret messages."

What could Luo Yao say? It was impossible for him to stay in the Fifth War Zone. Not to mention that Dai Yunong didn't agree, even the old man didn't agree.

The food was delicious, and the conversation between the two of them tried to avoid political topics and sad topics.

Of course, parting is always a little sad.

After dinner, Li Delin invited him to sit in the courtyard for a while, but Luo Yao knew that Li Delin's time was precious and he was busy with official duties, so it was inconvenient for him to disturb him for too long, so he prepared to get up and leave.

Li Delin asked his adjutant Liu Yingcai to send him back.

Back at Wuchang Pavilion, Luo Yao took a short break and wrote a pen himself, recording the process that he and Li Delin put into practice for him.

These are all things he has to report.

"Yi Ming, encrypt this and send it back home word for word." Luo Yao called someone to call Wen Xueren over and ordered.

"Yes, team leader." Wen Xueren looked at the content and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that there were some things that he shouldn't ask.

In the work of military unification, one must be careful and not slack off for a moment, otherwise someone will take advantage of the loopholes.

I drank a large amount of cold water, which took away a lot of the heat in my body. Then I drank a large bowl of cold water and finally cooled down.

Gong Hui asked Li Haihuai to bring him a lot of things. In addition to summer short-sleeved clothes, there was also a new pair of sandals and medicine to relieve the heat.

The medicine was not given to him alone. Everyone in the group had a share. It happened to be hot when we went back, so he would definitely be able to use it.

The Yangtze River waterway below Yichang is controlled by the Japanese army, and small-scale conflicts continue. If they go back this way, the danger will be great.

Moreover, traveling by water during flood season is even more dangerous.

Of course, it would be much safer if we changed the route to Hanzhong, but it would be time consuming. It was such a hot day and the road was not easy to walk. It would take at least ten more days to walk.

Luo Yao has not yet decided which path to take.

On the other side of the mountain city, they naturally wanted them to return to the mountain city as soon as possible, but not only did they have people and equipment along the way, there were also two felons.

Zhang Yuanliang is easy to handle, he can't afford to do anything, but Yagyu Yoshizawa is different. Even if he is imprisoned for more than a month and is only given half a meal every day, he is after all a well-trained Japanese agent.

After careful consideration and for the safety of his men, Luo Yao decided to take a detour and return to Sichuan from Hanzhong, which would only waste a little time.

If the risk brings human losses, it cannot be compensated by saving this little time.

Yang Si and Wen Xueren are not talents and pillars of the country.

Early the next morning, Luo Yao called together all members of the 401 group and announced his decision.

"Detour, take a detour to Shaanxi, and enter Sichuan via the ancient Shu Road. Everyone must be prepared to endure hardships!" Luo Yao decided.

"Team leader, wouldn't this mean we are ten days behind schedule?" Someone stood up and asked.

"Yes, but Yichang is occupied by the Japanese army, and the Yangtze River waterway is not under our control. In addition, it is the flood season now, and we are going upstream. This road is a hundred times more dangerous than when we came here. You are all elites of the party and state, and none of you are We can't afford the loss. Entering Shaanxi and taking the Shu Road, taking a detour, will only take ten more days, but it will be much safer along the way." Luo Yao explained.

"It's not said, we listen to the team leader. We will go wherever the team leader tells us!" After these two months of work, they saw with their own eyes that Luo Yao led everyone to decipher the Japanese army's secret messages and made great achievements.

There's no such thing as prestige.

"We have equipment and a lot of salutes. On our way north, our main means of transportation are horses and mules. Everyone's butts may suffer a little bit..."

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

"We need to prepare at least three to five days of dry food and clean water. In addition, we need salt and medicine. We need to prepare more traditional Chinese medicine, mosquito coils and toilet water to prevent mosquito bites, etc. Later, everyone will put together everything they can think of. Gather all the items and let Tiger go and purchase them. Don’t worry about anything you can’t buy.” Luo Yao continued, “Tiger, this job is left to you. You must finish it for me. Don’t leave tomorrow. Just give it to me.” Drop the chain.”

"Don't worry, brother, there are no unfamiliar stores in Laohekou Town. As long as there are some, I can buy them back." Yang Fan promised, patting his chest.

"Have a break-up meal with the comrades from the Fifth War Zone at noon. We have been working together for almost two months, and it's time to formally say goodbye." Luo Yao said, "Old Yan, you will host the break-up meal at noon. I There’s also a dinner party, so I have to go.”

"Okay, team leader." Yang Si agreed.

"Okay, nothing's going on. Let's disperse. Let's all stand guard for the last day." Luo Yao stood up and announced with a wave of his hand.

"Staff Wei, we have decided to take a detour to Hanzhong. Please report to the superiors and the theater headquarters will issue us a pass." Luo Yao returned to the office and called Wei Zhiming in to give instructions.

"clear."

Although it has been decided to go from Shaanxi to Sichuan, which road to take is not yet completely determined, but the prerequisite is that it must be easy to walk and safe.

After arriving in Hanzhong, he would decide. He would also need relevant information sent from Shancheng for analysis.

At noon, Gao Xingyun practiced for Luo Yao at Laohekou Restaurant, accompanied by battalion-level officers from the special service regiment.

Luo Yao was forced to drink a lot of wine and almost had sex with Gao Xingyun.

There was another banquet in the evening, where Wei Yongcheng, Li Haihuai and others also hosted a banquet for him, also at Laohekou Restaurant.

These people were all veterans of the alcohol test. Luo Yao was hard-pressed to defeat four people. Even if Yang Fan helped him to stop the wine, it was of no use in the end. He got very drunk and was carried back from the restaurant by Yang Fan and others.
