Chapter 1212 Top Secret = Server-wide Announcement

"Old Li, get out of the car."

A black car was speeding along the busiest street in the mountain city. The driver turned around and shouted to Pan Mingzhi, who was lying in the back seat. He slammed on the brakes and the car stopped with a squeak.

Almost at the same time, Pan Mingzhi and another comrade pushed open the car door and ran to the sidewalks on both sides without looking back, moving quickly in the opposite direction.

The Fruit Party car behind them stopped immediately, and the four agents got out of the car and divided into two groups to start watching. The two sides chased each other in the crowded crowd, but they did not fight directly.

Pan Mingzhi quickly glanced behind him, and a nearby map automatically appeared in his mind. This was the retreat channel he carefully selected for himself.

A qualified intelligence officer must learn to establish an emergency evacuation route and master all kinds of information on the evacuation route.

You must be familiar with where there is the largest flow of people, which store has a back door, the internal structure of a certain building, and even the placement of furniture in the store.

However, the most important thing now is to get rid of the agents first, otherwise it will be difficult to retreat once the enemy's support arrives, Pan Mingzhi thought as he walked.

As I was walking, there was a noise in front of me. It turned out to be a patrolman who failed to extort money from a vendor and overturned his stall to the ground, which attracted many people to watch.

Looking at the arrogant patrolman, Pan Mingzhi had an idea. He pretended to be wary and looked behind him. The two following agents quickly retracted their heads and hid in the corner.

"Have you been discovered?" a young spy asked nervously.

Another agent shook his head and said in an uncertain tone: "Probably not. There are so many people on the road, how do they know where we are."

The little agent who asked the question felt that this statement was reasonable, and stretched out his head to continue watching, but found that the target stopped at the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in.

"There is a situation."

The little agent whispered to his companions, staring closely at Pan Mingzhi, and soon noticed a suspicious sign.

Under the dim light, Pan Mingzhi was seen sticking behind the patrol officer, opening his mouth slightly and moving, then made a motion to take out something under the cover of the crowd, and then left without looking back.

Is this a joint?

Is there a problem with that patrolman?

The two little spies frowned and looked at the target moving further and further away. The two quickly divided their tasks. One continued to follow, while the other stayed to keep an eye on the patrolman.

Pan Mingzhi skillfully got rid of a spy by taking advantage of the evil police, but now is not the time to relax, because the enemy's reinforcements are likely to have arrived.

In order to test whether the agent had reinforcements, he walked a certain distance and then used a sudden turn to confirm that the person following him was still the original agent, and then he felt relieved.

If the enemy has reinforcements, it is impossible for the same person to follow him so far. Pan Mingzhi walked into a hotel without stopping after thinking about it.

This would coincide with the dinner rush hour, and the restaurant would be packed with people. The lobby was packed with diners waiting to be seated, waiters carrying food trays, and children selling cigarettes.

Pan Mingzhi nimbly moved through the crowd, taking off his hat and gown as he walked, revealing the dress underneath, completely changing his attire.

When passing by a table of guests, he put his hat and gown on the back of the other person's chair and walked calmly towards the side door of the hotel. Outside the door was a row of shops with people coming and going. One of the paper flower shops had a back door. , leading to a busy three-way intersection.

Pan Mingzhi has known all of these things for a long time. He will be safe when he reaches the intersection. Only careful people can live longer in this business.

Seeing the target entering the hotel, the spy who was following him followed him to the main entrance and stood up on tiptoes to look inside. However, he only saw densely packed heads of people. He immediately scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, and finally gritted his teeth and followed in.

When he walked around the hotel and came out from the side door, there was no sign of the target. The little agent threw his clothes and hat to the ground angrily and let out a roar.

a minute ago.

Across the road, in a second-floor lounge of another hotel, Zuo Zhong gave He Yijun a piece of fish with a gentle smile on his face.

Since the war started, the two of them haven't been out together for a long time. When he was not busy recently, he took the other person for a walk around the city.

There is a saying that goes well, work is not everything in life, rest is for better work.

Moreover, Li Qiwu sent tens of thousands of dollars a few days ago. If he doesn't spend some, the safe in the official residence will no longer be able to hold it. Oh, what a worry.

If Li Qiwu hadn't sold his house to prepare for this "intention" and couldn't live up to such good intentions, he really didn't want to accept the money.

Money is nothing, his happiest days were when he was a trainee at the Zhejiang Provincial Police College, huh? Why is my neck itchy?

Zuo Zhong scratched his collar and was about to tell He Yijun about the scenery in Annan when he caught a glimpse of a man walking downstairs with his head lowered and covering his mouth while coughing. His profile looked familiar.

Isn't this Pan Mingzhi, Joanna's husband? Why did he appear here? Zuo Zhong was shocked.

During the last case of leaking the records of the Supreme National Defense Conference, he had checked Joanna's files, and naturally he had also seen her husband's files and photos.

Pan Mingzhi, a native of Zhejiang Province, was born in the second year of the Republic of China. He is a clerk by profession. Like Joanna, he is also an underground worker fighting at the heart of the enemy.

Judging from Pan Mingzhi's demeanor and movements while walking, he seemed to be avoiding someone. Could he be being targeted by the enemy?

Zuo Zhong's eyes narrowed. Joanna's position was very critical. Even he couldn't get some information, but the other party could easily get it. This was the special nature of the position.

Joanna must not get into trouble and must protect Pan Mingzhi from the enemy. Zuo Zhong quickly made a decision. He calmly put down his chopsticks and thought about how to help Pan Mingzhi. First of all, it was definitely not possible to do it openly. He had to do it secretly. The prerequisite for helping others was his own safety.

After thinking about it, Zuo Zhong realized a problem. It had been tens of seconds since Pan Ming Capital appeared, but why hadn't the enemy appeared yet?

Stalking, stalking, focusing on one word, dozens of seconds are enough for a professional intelligence officer to disappear without a trace. Maybe he guessed wrong?

Just when Zuo Zhong suspected that he was overthinking, a young man who looked very "Zhongtong" ran into the street, looking furious.

He didn't run away, and the glorious tradition of Zhongtong was carried out again - and he lost people again.

"Vice seat? What's wrong?"

He Yijun, who was opposite, was wearing a fashionable British dress today and her makeup was very beautiful. When she saw Zuo Zhong put down his chopsticks, she asked aloud.

"It's okay, you eat first."

Zuo Zhong shook his head and waved to the guard leader who was waiting on the stairs, asking him to bring in the Zhongtong agents outside.

When the Deputy Director of Military Command travels, even if there is no extravagance, a dozen guards will always be required. Apart from performing tasks, wearing a white dragon fish uniform is asking for trouble.

After a while, the little spy who was scolding was "invited" to the private room on the second floor. When he heard that the smiling tiger wanted to see him, he was already thinking about his last words. Who in the Central Command didn't know that this first deputy director of the military command, To say he is a murderer is an understatement.

"Zuo...Deputy Director Zuo, your humble position is..."

"Okay, no need to introduce yourself, Zhongtong, I can smell the secret agent headquarters smell on you from across the street."

Zuo Zhong interrupted the other party and mocked him angrily. Then his expression changed and he asked coldly.

"What are you going to do? How dare you spy on me? Do you know that Director Zhu is Zuo's principal! Last time he arrested our bureau chief, and this time he's targeting me again. Does Xu Enzeng want to rebel?"

After saying that, the majestic deputy director Zuo slammed the table in front of him, causing the dishes and chopsticks on the table to clang. The little agent of the Central Military Commission was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"Misunderstanding! You misunderstood! I was ordered to monitor the rebel office in Hongyanzui. A fire broke out nearby at night. Someone broke in while we were fighting the fire. Later, three cars rushed out of the rebel office."

The little spy told the situation truthfully, and he was even scared to tears. Major General Quan Xu, who was monitoring the government and the deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, would not have dared even if he had given him a hundred courages. It was too scary.

Pan Mingzhi forced himself into the office to report the news, but he actually succeeded. Zuo Chong secretly sighed. The courage and determination of these old underground workers should not be underestimated.

Listening to the little agent's explanation, Zuo Zhong was shocked in his heart, but on the surface he looked at the other person suspiciously, as if he was thinking about the truth or falsehood of what he said.

Shao Qing, he pointed at the trembling little agent and said to the guard leader: "Take someone to chase after this guy and try to find the traitor."

"Yes, deputy seat."

The guard leader was from Gui Youguang's special operations team. He had performed many top-secret missions and was very skilled. What was even more difficult was his brilliant mind.

As soon as he heard the deputy director say "try your best", he understood that their military commander had always only had tasks that had to be completed. When had there ever been such a vague order? The deputy commander was obviously trying to hold back the central commander.

Seeing that the guard leader had accurately understood what he meant, Zuo Zhong smacked his lips, "That's a good young man. The road is wider. Annan Station happens to be short of a deputy station chief, so he can fill it."

After sending the little spy away from the Central Government, Zuo Zhong regained his smile and continued chatting and laughing with He Yijun. His good mood remained until Wu Chunyang appeared in front of him.

"Deputy, urgent call from Anqing!"

Wu Chunyang wiped his sweat and explained the reason why he came to disturb him. He handed over a telegram in his hand. Zuo Zhong took it and looked at it, and slowly opened his mouth.

The message was sent by Juntong's business partner, Ozawagawa's successor, and the commander of the Japanese river fleet stationed in Anqing.

The other party stated that in the afternoon, the Japanese Navy's Shanghai Naval Command received a call, ordering the river fleet to be ready for battle and to "cooperate" with the Japanese army in encircling and suppressing the underground party troops at any time. If necessary, the two armies can cooperate in combat.

Damn, didn't someone say that the encirclement and suppression plan was top secret? It was in the afternoon, and the meeting hadn't even ended yet. What is this, a server-wide announcement?

Zuo Zhong knew that the government kept the crotch secret, but it would be too exaggerated to pull the crotch to this extent. Maybe the Japanese spies had received the news before the meeting started.

Now we are in trouble. There are government brothers inside and Japanese troops outside taking advantage of the situation. The future of the underground party's troops in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is not good.

It was an uncomfortable feeling to watch something happen but not be able to do anything about it. Zuo Zhong put down the telegram, turned his head and looked towards the east and was speechless for a long time.

(Can’t write in depth, can only give a brief summary)

On the other side, Pan Mingzhi wandered around the maze-like mountain city for a long time and returned to his home in a slum area. The dirty and messy environment in the past seemed particularly kind to him now.

As soon as he entered the door, Joanna walked out of the house and looked at him quietly. Pan Mingzhi nodded solemnly. In an instant, a joyful emotion filled the dilapidated courtyard.
