Lost and Spy

Chapter 949 Dangerous Road
I wish home.

The whole family was called out.

Zhu Ruichuan's face was very ugly.

The eldest son, Zhu Cizhong, looked bewildered and at a loss as to what to do.

The second son, Zhu Ciyi, was evasive and did not dare to look directly at him.

What kind of sons are these two.

The eldest son is not bad, but he only knows to hide in the house and read books all day long, and he reads only the Four Books and Five Classics. He fantasizes that one day the country will have another scientific examination, and he can be the top student in high school with his full talents.

How long has the Qing Dynasty perished, and the scientific examination system has long since disappeared in the long river of history.

Zhu Cizhong is not very old, in his thirties, but he lives like a man in his seventies and eighties.

But at best, he is just an obsessive, corrupt nerd, and not very harmful. The second child, Zhu Ciyi, is different.Eating, drinking, gambling, and raising a prostitute outside.

Forget about these, the key is to sell the benefactor of the Zhu family.

Zhu Ruichuan only felt that his old face was lost.

A daughter became the leader of the army, and his two most favored sons achieved nothing compared to the other.

It's even better now that he actually sold his son-in-law.

Congratulations, what should I do?

"When I was in Shanghai, did you know what would happen if someone betrayed me?" Meng Shaoyuan said lightly, "I would put him in a sack and throw him into the Huangpu River. No one can protect you. This is Changsha, but If I want to kill you, it's easier than crushing an ant. Zhu Ciyi, do you want to?"

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, I was wrong." Zhu Ciyi trembled all over: "For my sister's sake, please forgive me no matter what!"

"In the past, Yanni always told me that I must beware of you. You don't even think about who I am and what I do. What qualifications do you have to sell me?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "You let me look at you For Yanni's sake? I'll just bypass you this time for Yanni's sake, just this one time, this is already an exception for me."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhu Ruichuan and Wei Qiaoying and said, "Lao Taishan, mother-in-law, listen to me, never let Zhu Ciyi touch money again, otherwise, the Zhu family will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later."

Wei Qiaoying turned around and wiped away her tears.

Zhu Ruichuan's face was ashen: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, Shaoyuan, I wish the family is sorry for you."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and stood up: "I'm leaving, Yanni is about to give birth, your nephew or niece. Go to Chongqing to visit and accompany her."

"Hey, hey." Zhu Ruichuan said repeatedly.

When Meng Shaoyuan walked to the door, he turned around and said to Zhu Ciyi: "I can forgive you for betraying me, but remember my words, don't be a traitor, otherwise no one in this world can protect you."

Meng Shaoyuan left and left Zhu's house.

Moreover, he will leave Changsha soon.

Wuhan!Wuhan!
Li Zhifeng and the guards were already waiting for him outside.

"Report sir, the guards are ordered to report!"

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan coming out, Li Zhifeng immediately strode forward and saluted: "At the order of Commander Xue, I have ten guards to protect him personally! If you live, I will live! If you die, I will die!"

Bringing these ten people to Shanghai will make Meng Shaoyuan even more powerful.

Moreover, these ten people were all equipped with new weapons, presumably Xue Yue re-equipped them specially.

"I'm going to Wuhan." Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide it from them: "You escorted me all the way to the vicinity of Wuhan, and lurked until I came out of Wuhan."

"That won't work!" Li Zhifeng categorically refused: "Officer Xue's order is to keep us close to Chief Meng. Wuhan is an area occupied by the enemy, and we must be by Chief Meng's side!"

Meng Shaoyuan patted him on the shoulder: "But I really can't take you into Wuhan this time. There are too many people and it's easy to be exposed. And now I'm your chief, obeying orders, and it's my duty as a soldier!"

Li Zhifeng was at a loss for words.

"Xiao Zhong, you can't come with me." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "You and Li Zhifeng are waiting for me outside Wuhan."

There were only two people who entered Wuhan with him this time:
Sophia and Alison.

Members of the Wuhan International Delegation!

And Meng Shaoyuan's identity is their translator!

A translator fluent in Chinese, English and Japanese.

"From now on, you are the reporters of the American 'Washington Herald' stationed in Changsha." Meng Shaoyuan specifically reminded them of their new identities:
"Your documents will be delivered in a short while."

"The question is, how do we get to Wuhan?" This is Sophia's biggest concern.

It is easy to go out of Changsha, but it is difficult to go to Wuhan.

This road has already been blocked by heavy Japanese troops.

Especially the only way to go to Wuhan is full of Japanese troops.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

A car with the American flag driving over, the car stopped, and Ruan Yiquan walked out of the car: "Mr. Meng, the car you want is ready for you. The license plate is filed by the Washington Herald. This is Your documents are also real."

The Changsha station of the "Washington Herald" was also destroyed in the Changsha fire. When it was rebuilt, Ruan Yiquan was very helpful.

"Thank you, Secretary Ruan."

"Don't call me Secretary Ruan." Ruan Yiquan smiled bitterly: "The person sent by Deputy Director Dai to take over the Changsha station is already on his way. After I hand over the work, I will report to Chongqing immediately."

"Take care, Secretary Ruan!"

Meng Shaoyuan still called him that, and then he glanced at the car: "Xiaozhong, Li Zhifeng, you put on makeup and move towards Wuhan. When you arrive at Dayu Bay, find the local carving generals guild. The password is 'I want to carve a pair. Loyalty map'."

"Yes!"

"We will take this car and go straight to Wuhan!"

He took one last look at Ruan Yiquan: "Secretary Ruan, see you after the victory of the War of Resistance!"

"Take care all the way, Chief Meng!"

Ruan Yiquan respectfully saluted a military salute.

This was the last time Meng Shaoyuan saw Ruan Yiquan in his life.

After Ruan Yiquan returned to Changsha, he was reassigned to work, mainly responsible for sorting out some documents and archives.

In 1942, he regained the opportunity to join the 38th Regiment of the newly formed 113th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Army.

At dawn on April 1942, 4, in order to rescue the besieged British army in Ren'an Qiang, the 18th regiment, led by regiment leader Liu Fangwu, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

1942年4月19日凌晨4时30分，刘放吾率第113团展开全线进攻.
下午15时，在新38师师长孙立人、副师长齐学启和113团团长刘放吾的带领下收复了任安羌油田，解救了英军7000多人和被日军俘虏的英缅军官兵、美国传教士和新闻记者等500多人，接着掩护英缅第1师和英军第7装甲旅向北撤退。英国官方将英军在仁安羌脱险称为“亚洲的敦刻尔克奇迹”，并将4月20日定为“光复仁安羌解救英军日”。

After the war, Ruan Yiquan, who was seriously injured, was found.

Ruan Yiquan was not rescued, and before he died, he kept saying two words:
Changsha!

That is his hometown.

He dreamed of going back to his hometown.

He couldn't fulfill his last wish.

He was buried in Ren'anqiang.

Just like how he judged himself, he has never been a good person, lustful, sinister and vicious, and likes to frame his colleagues.

But at least, he is a Chinese.

He shed the last drop of blood for his country.

Merits and demerits, leave it to future generations to comment...

……

At this time, Meng Shaoyuan had already embarked on an unknown journey.

From Changsha to Wuhan, it is not too far, nor close, [-] miles.

The most dangerous of them is probably Xianning, which belongs to the southern Hubei region.

Here is the main battlefield where the Chinese and Japanese armies fought head-on during the Battle of Wuhan and the Japanese attack on Changsha.It was an important area for the national army to launch rear guerrilla attacks after the fall of southern Hubei.

At the same time, it is also the main force of the No.14 Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Fourth Route Army and the stable base of the local anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Hubei, as well as the bridgehead for the No.18 Group Army's southward detachment to enter Hunan and Guangdong.

The three forces are intertwined.

"It was originally the 27th Division of the Japanese Army who was in charge of attacking here, but it was severely beaten by Xue Yue." Meng Shaoyuan knew the situation here very clearly from Ruan Yiquan: "The Battle of Wuhan is over, and the 27th Division will return to Tianjin at the end of November. The defense of the army was handed over to the 11th Division, and what we will pass in a while is the defense area of ​​the 9th Infantry Regiment."

"Meng, no, Charles, I'm curious, are you really not afraid at all when you face the Japanese?" Sophia still couldn't help raising her doubts: "I know, Japan is offering a reward for your head , I dreamed of catching you, you just swaggered through the Japanese defense zone, in case something happened, you had no chance of escaping."

"I have the American flag as a cover." Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the American flag on the front of the car while driving: "The Americans are easy to use, and they are easy to use in front of the Chinese, as well as in front of the Japanese."

Ahead, there are Japanese sentry posts.

A Japanese soldier with a bayonet kept beckoning here, signaling to stop and check.

Meng Shaoyuan stopped the car smoothly, rolled down the window, took out his ID card and handed it out, and said in standard Japanese: "We are from the 'Washington Herald'. We have received an invitation to participate in the Wuhan Goodwill Conference."

The sentry carefully checked the ID, then looked inside the car, and returned the ID: "Get out of the car and follow us."

"Hey, we are Americans." Sophia immediately protested loudly: "We came here after your invitation, and you have no right to detain us."

The attitude of the Japanese soldiers was not bad. After listening to Meng Shaoyuan's translation, he said, "I don't care who you are, but I have ordered you to get out of the car and go to the headquarters of the regiment for inspection!"

"Sophia, do as they say." Meng Shaoyuan slammed open the door and got out of the car: "We can do as you say, but you must abide by international law. The identity of a journalist is sacred, and we must be treated kindly."

"Get out of the car, everyone get out of the car." The Japanese soldier greeted his companions: "Take them to the headquarters, this is the person the regimental captain wants."

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Sophia and Alison, then shook his head quietly.
