The secret war is silent

Chapter 817 On the road

I woke up early the next morning with a severe headache, the sequelae of drunkenness. My mouth was dry and I drank a large glass of water.

It finally eased a bit.

"Brother, you're awake." Yang Fan pushed the door open and came in from the outside. He was filled with joy when he saw that Luo Yao had woken up.

"Well, how are you preparing?" Luo Yao nodded.

"Everything is almost packed. I'm just waiting for your order to set off." Yang Fan explained.

"Waiting for me alone?" Luo Yao was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "Then what are you waiting for? Tell everyone to leave immediately."

"yes!"

"Team Leader Fang, Team Leader Fang..." Luo Yao freshened up briefly and prepared the small building. Wei Zhiming ran in.

"Consultant Wei, is there something wrong?"

"I just got the news that heavy rains fell suddenly in Ankang and other areas upstream of the Han River, and the river water surged. If you want to enter Shaanxi directly through the waterway, you may not be able to do it!" Wei Zhiming said.

"Ah!" Luo Yao was surprised. This was something he didn't expect. Going upstream from the Han River and taking a boat into Shaanxi was one of his reasons for choosing.

Unexpectedly, a heavy rain upstream completely blocked this plan, so the only option was to take the land route.

The land route requires a detour and requires hundreds of kilometers more walking. It is impossible without adding three to five days to the journey.

"Then we have no choice but to take the land route." Luo Yao shook his head helplessly.

"Yes, if you can wait, you can wait until this wave of heavy rain passes before leaving?" Wei Zhiming suggested.

"I'm afraid it won't work. If the rain keeps falling, we won't be able to leave." Luo Yao shook his head.

"Then you have to go overland."

"That's all we can do!" Luo Yao nodded helplessly.

After preparation, all equipment was loaded on the packhorse and wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin, as well as everyone's luggage, tents, dry food, etc.

The team of thirty people is not small.

There are two special people in the team. One is the captured Yagyu Yoshizawa, who is placed in a specially made car.

The other Zhang Yuanliang received slightly better treatment. He did not lose all his freedom like Yagyu Yoshizawa, but he was also handcuffed.

Outside the town, on the road to the north, Li Haihuai brought people over to see Luo Yao off. Tan Xin was also seen in the team, and he was now regarded as Li Haihuai's person.

Huang Xuecun representative Li Delin also came over.

"Brother You Ning, after this farewell, I don't know when I will see you again." Li Haihuai said with emotion.

"Brother Haihuai returns to the mountain city to report on his work. We will see each other again then." Luo Yao chuckled.

"Yes, hahaha!"

"Farewell and take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

"Mount your horses and let's go!" Luo Yao waved his hand, and the entire team started slowly, moving forward along the road and embarking on the road back to the mountain city.

When you come here, you take the water route, and when you go back, you take the land route. This can be considered as no turning back.

In order to save animal power, the team did not move very fast. Moreover, the weather was hot and people sweated a lot. If they traveled too fast, both people and livestock would be prone to heatstroke.

Heading north is towards Nanyang, then turns west and enters Shaanxi via the narrow passage between Funiu Mountain and the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

On the first night, arrive at Xinye and stay overnight.

During this battle, China and Japan fought for Xinye repeatedly. After changing hands several times, they lost and regained it. After the war, Xinye City was full of ruins and devastation.

Although Xinye was finally recaptured by the national army, its vitality was also severely damaged. It would take only a few years to restore the prosperity and liveliness it had before.

"Tiger, after dinner, let everyone rest early. We have to rush to the inner countryside tomorrow and set off at dawn!" Luo Yao ordered Yang Fan.

"Okay, brother." Yang Fan agreed and went out to deliver the order.

"Lao Yan, we are going out of the Fifth War Area tomorrow. Everyone should be careful what they say, don't have any quarrels with the locals, and always be patient." Luo Yao called Yang Si, Wen Xueren and others. Give instructions to your own room.

"I know, there is a commander in Wanxi, and we have to walk on their ground along the way." Yang Si laughed.

"Well, we should avoid these local emperors if we can, and give way to them if we can. Anyway, we are just passers-by." Luo Yao said.

"yes."

"Yi Ming, please make sure your family is safe. Just leave two people on duty at the radio station. Let the others sleep." Luo Yao ordered Wen Xueren.

"Okay, team leader."

"It's nothing, let's go."

1. I had nothing to do the whole night, so I got up the next morning and went on the road while the weather was cool. When the sun came up, I rested so that both people and livestock could feel more comfortable.

Breakfast is steamed buns and porridge. Although it is not very rich, it is filling, which is better than most people.

After entering Wanxi, the road became relatively easy to walk. The place was not destroyed by the Japanese army, and the living standards of the people were obviously better.

The road is easy to walk, and the speed of traveling is much faster.

The plan was to reach Neixiang within one day. Now it seems that it will not be too difficult to achieve this plan.

In the evening, the team entered Neixiang County. It was actually much busier than Xinye City. There were many pedestrians on the street, the clothes of the people were much better, and the complexion on their faces was also different.

Commander Wan Xibie's administration is really very sophisticated. Luo Yao has no interest in these things. They are just passers-by.

Luo Yao and the others had a large number of people and a lot of pack horses, but they caused a little trouble when they went into the city to pay taxes.

The tax collector wanted to inspect the goods and salutes carried by Luo Yao and the others. Of course, this was not possible. The salutes they carried were all radio communication equipment and weapons. How could these be shown to others?

Fortunately, they had the pass issued by Li Delin, which played a key role. The tax collectors saw such a high-level pass and did not dare to deal with it, so they immediately reported it to the Wanxi Thirteen County Joint Defense Headquarters.

Soon, an order to release came down.

This commander had a relatively good personal relationship with Li Delin. Seeing that the pass was signed by Li Delin himself, it was natural that he would be allowed to pass duty-free.

Luo Yao never thought of going to see the Wanxi Emperor, but the commander sent someone over. When he knew that Luo Yao and his party were just passing through Wanxi, he immediately sent a letter from Cheng Yi.

Luo Yao naturally refused to accept money from others for no reason. After refusing, they waived their room and board expenses in the countryside.

Luo Yao had no choice but to refuse such kindness. If he refused to accept it, he would be losing face. He knew that they were doing this for Li Delin's sake and had nothing to do with him at all.

After a good night's rest in the countryside, Yang Fan also bought some missing supplies. Early the next morning, he continued on his way to the Xixia.

Two days later, the team arrived at Wuguan in Shaanxi. The scene here was completely different from Wanxi.

Shaanxi is Jiang Dingwen's territory. This man is very senior and is a first-year student in Huangpu. He is highly valued by the old man.

His current batch of students is different from those Baishen who were admitted to Huangpu. When he entered Huangpu, he had already served as a colonel's staff officer. When he entered Huangpu, he was the district captain of the first and second teams. However, this person was greedy for money and afraid of death, but he did not command operations. He has some talent and is known as the "Flying General".

Luo Yao has nothing to do with such a feudal official, and he won't rush to hug his thigh.

If he wanted to hug his thigh, it would be better to hug the old man directly.

But there was one person in the Eighth Theater whom he had to meet, and that was Hu Yisheng, the commander-in-chief of the 34th Group Army. He was not only the old man's favorite disciple, but also the sworn brother of his own boss Dai.

In Hu Yisheng's army, many military commanders served in it. Among those who graduated from the temporary training class and joined the spy team, several went to Hu Yisheng's command.

Everyone knows that Dai Yunong has a good relationship with Hu Yisheng.

Hu Yisheng's 34th Group Army Headquarters is located in Shangluo (a fiction), which happens to be on Luo Yao's way back to Sichuan. He passed by Luo Yao without saying hello or being very polite.

Hu Yisheng obviously knew that Luo Yao was passing by. Dai Yunong had greeted him. He knew about it as soon as Luo Yao's team entered Shangluo City.

Luo Yao planned to rest in Shangluo for half a day before setting off, so after settling the people, he put on his military uniform and took Yang Fan and two of them to the 34th Group Army Headquarters to pay their respects and ask for an audience.

He didn't know if Hu Yisheng was there or if he would see him. Anyway, according to etiquette, he had already been here, so the etiquette was enough.

"Team Leader Fang, Sir Hu invites you!" The name card was put in, and within a moment, a major officer came out and invited him in very politely.

Luo Yao quickly tidied up his military uniform, gave Yang Fan instructions, and then walked in with the major officer.

He had met Hu Yisheng before, otherwise, he wouldn't have come to visit so rashly.

"Hello, Sir Hu!"

"You Ning is here, sit down. Yu Nong called me the day before yesterday and told me that you were going to pass through Shaanxi and then return to the mountain city." Hu Yisheng is not tall. He is wearing a lieutenant general's uniform and is half a head shorter than Luo Yao. But he looks polite and has the air of a Confucian general.

"It's causing trouble to Sir Hu."

"No trouble, what's the trouble?" Hu Yisheng chuckled, "Has the team settled down?"

"A big car shop in the west of the city. The place is big and spacious, just big enough to live in."

"That's fine." Hu Yisheng nodded, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll have someone cook you some dishes and let's have a drink. When I'm in the mountain city, I just want to have a good chat with you about the security of encrypted telecommunications. The thing is, there is no such opportunity.”

"I will follow Chief Hu's arrangements!" Luo Yao nodded.

"That's right." Hu Yisheng called the adjutant in, gave instructions, and then took Luo Yao to discuss the security of secret communication.

Of course, Hu Yisheng was more interested in the month-and-a-half battle between the Fifth Theater District and the Japanese 11th Army in northwest Hubei.

Luo Yao was the one who witnessed it, and his personal explanation was much more detailed than what he learned from the battle report. Many details would not be mentioned in the battle report, but details are the key to victory or defeat.

What Hu Yisheng wants to know is the details of the battle. His troops may be sent to the front line to fight the Japanese army at any time. As a general, he naturally needs to know more about his opponent.
