Chapter 162: Still the National Army
"Yes." Wei Guoqiang agreed and continued, "The killers were divided into two groups, one group went to the East City Tower, which was the parade and watch platform in the name of alert. After Commander-in-Chief Gu and Li Tuanzu left, the killer rushed forward and detonated the bomb on his body. The killer had twelve grenades tied to the body. Once detonated, it would be enough to razed the entire city tower to the ground."
"Well, the power of the twelve grenades is enough." Gu Zhutong nodded slightly. If everything goes well, it would be enough to blow Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing and others into pieces. He then asked, "However, this requires the killer to sacrifice his life, so this candidate must ensure loyalty and must not retreat in the face of fear of death."
"Commander-in-Chief Gu has no problem with the loyalty of the killer, and he will not be afraid of death."
"Well, then there is no problem with this part." Gu Zhu Tongdao, "Where is another group of killers?"
Wei Guoqiang said: "In order to ensure that the entire action plan is foolproof, in addition to arranging the killer to detonate cluster grenades at the top of the city, I also arranged for eight other shooters to ambush on the hill opposite the east gate. Once the killer's tracks are exposed, the eight lurking shooters will immediately shoot, shooting Xu Shijiu, Gao Shenxing, Li Shuangqiu, Niu Sigen and others at the East Gate Tower."
Gu Zhutong nodded again. At this moment, he had already put on his military uniform. The adjutant brought a mirror. Gu Zhutong admired his dress in front of the mirror. It was really not to mention that the military uniform designed by the Americans was more energetic than the rustic general's dress designed by the National Government.
After admiring in the mirror for a while, Gu Zhutong found that Wei Guoqiang had not left yet, so he asked again: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"Commander-in-Chief Gu, there is something." Wei Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to report truthfully, saying, "I just saw Li Tuanzuo looking for Xu Shijiu at the headquarters."
Gu Zhutong's face immediately became gloomy and asked in a deep voice: "What did you say? Li Zihan is looking for Xu Shijiu at this time?"
As the leader of the 19th Detachment, Li Zihan was not a big deal to find Xu Shijiu, the captain of the 19th Detachment, but now, more than an hour before the military parade was about to begin, Li Zihan suddenly went to see Xu Shijiu, so he had to let Gu Zhutongfu think about it. What does it mean? Does Li Zihan plan to betray the party and the country, betray Chairman Jiang, and go to report to Xu Shijiu?
Gu Zhutong tried his best to calm himself down and asked Wei Guoqiang: "Captain Guard, you are sure you see clearly.
"Commander-in-Chief Gu, I can see it clearly." Wei Guoqiang replied affirmatively, "It's Li Tuanzuo, undoubtedly
"This Li Zihan" Gu Zhutong snatched the mirror from his adjutant and fell to the ground and broke it.
Wei Guoqiang's eyelids twitched slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Commander-in-Chief Gu, given that Li Zihan suddenly met Xu Shijiu at this time, the entire action plan is very likely to be exposed in advance, so, should I start the backup plan immediately?"
When planning any action, the Military Control Commission will formulate two sets of plans, one set of main plans and the other set of backup plans.
This is because things in this world can never work according to your will. No matter how thoughtful you are, unpredictable emergencies may occur when things are at the moment. Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to prepare a backup plan to temporarily rescue emergency services when the main plan encounters obstacles.
As the captain of the Rangers, Wei Guoqiang certainly could not have known this.
"No, the situation is unclear now, and it is too risky to implement the No. 2 plan." Gu Zhutong flatly refused.
The No. 2 Plan formulated by Weiguo is an emergency remedial measure specifically for the failure of the No. 1 Plan or the early leak. To put it bluntly, it is to change assassination to a strong attack, dispatching Gu Zhutong's guards, the strengthening battalion sent by Tang Shizun and the strong Weiguo's ranger, to capture the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and then execute Xu Shijiu and Gao Shenxing on the spot.
Undoubtedly, the risk of the No. 2 Plan is extremely great. Although the guard forces of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Command are only one reinforced platoon, it is not a big problem to seize the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Command. The problem is that the four main regiments of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, plus three direct battalions, are now outside the city.
At this time, Xu Shijiu was forcibly executed, and God knew what kind of trouble would be caused.
If Li Zihan is still loyal to the party and the country and Chairman Chiang, it would be fine. As long as Li Zihan comes forward to suppress it, no major problems will happen. But if Li Zihan also betrays the party and the country and Chairman Chiang, it would be troublesome. The 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui will collapse, and maybe even the commander-in-chief of the war zone will die here.
If this happens, he Gu Zhutong will be honored to be the first general to die in a mutiny.
"Li Zihan went to see Xu Shijiu at this time. Although it was suspicious, the matter might not be what we thought. He might have something else." Gu Zhutong seemed to want to convince Wei Guoqiang, and also seemed to want to convince himself. He continued, "In short, we must not act rashly before there is no definite news, and we will still act according to the original plan."
(Split Line)
"Zihan, your group is ready?" Xu Shijiu felt a little surprised when he saw Li Zihan coming into the office. Why did this guy seem to be worried today? Is there something wrong? He asked Li Zihan with concern again, "Zihan, is it Yulan who wrote you a letter? What did the letter say?"
"Ah? Oh." Li Zihan woke up in a dream and hurriedly said, "Magnolia is fine."
"Then why do you look worried?" Xu Shijiu said, "Are you worried?"
"No, maybe I'm a little tired." Li Zihan shook his head and whispered, "I haven't closed my eyes much these days."
These days, Li Zihan has never been able to close his eyes. Every day, he will think of Xu Shijiu's execution, and then he will feel creepy and no sleepiness. He asked himself again and again, for the sake of the party and the country, and for Chairman Jiang, he can do anything? Then he asked his conscience again and again, and this torture was about to drive him crazy.
"Then you have to pay attention to rest." Xu Shijiu said, "The body is the capital of revolution."
Li Zihan nodded lightly and asked again: "Captain, tell me the truth, do you really have to get those Communists in?"
"Zihan, I have told you what I should say, and this is already unchangeable." Xu Shijiu's expression became complicated. He knew that Li Zihan was extremely loyal to the Kuomintang and Chairman Jiang, so he had a strong resistance to the Communist Party entering the 19th Detachment. Xu Shijiu could understand Li Zihan, but he would never change his original intention because of this.
As for the same sentence, Xu Shijiu had already despaired about the Kuomintang.
"Captain, then is our 19th Detachment still considered a national army?" Li Zihan asked again.
When asked about this, Li Zihan suddenly felt a little nervous. He was afraid that Xu Shijiu would tell him directly that from now on, the 19th Detachment of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui is no longer a national army, but a Communist Party. If this is the case, he probably has no other choice, so he can only choose to cut off his robes and righteousness with Xu Shijiu and his former good brothers.
"Of course, our 19th Detachment is of course the national army." Xu Shijiu said without hesitation, "No matter at any time, we are all the national army."
Although he borrowed people from the Communist Party and even the above units have added the Ministry of Political Work, which is a Communist Party member, this does not mean that Xu Shijiu really intends to lead the team to join the Communist Party. In fact, Xu Shijiu has never had the idea of joining the Communist Party. It did not exist before, but now, and there may not be any in the future.
Xu Shijiu only regarded the Communist Party as a good friend and a trustworthy collaborator.
After hearing Xu Shijiu tell him in person that at any time, the 19th Detachment is a national army, Li Zihan suddenly felt relieved.
It's good if it's a national army. As long as the 19th Detachment or a national army, as long as Xu Shijiu has no idea of joining the Communist Party with the 19th Detachment, it's enough.
