Gao Shenxing couldn't help but turn his head and look at Shu Tongwen's face, and found that Shu Tongwen's face also showed the same worry. If what Li Zihan said was true, then even if the Central Plains Bureau sent Comrade Chen Yi over, it would be impossible for him to convince Xu Shijiu to join the Communist Party of China.

Sure enough, Xu Shijiu asked Li Zihan solemnly: "Zihan, are you saying true?"

Li Zihan knew in his heart that this was probably the smoke screen that Gu Zhutong put on, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I have a college classmate who works as a staff officer in the chief department. This news was revealed to me in private, so it should be credible. Moreover, I also think that you are fully worthy of the position of commander, the captain."

Gao Shenxing and Shu Tongwen looked at each other again. Both of them wanted to come out to question Li Zihan, and then told Xu Shijiu that this must be just Gu Zhutong's trick, but they did not dare to make rash things easily in the end because they knew very well what this news meant to Xu Shijiu.

Seeing Xu Shijiu's anxiety about gains and losses, Li Zihan suddenly felt a little reluctant and said, "Captain, I will verify this news with my classmates."

Xu Shijiu nodded, then walked straight into the inner lounge, but left Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen, Li Zihan and the others in the outer office. Gao Shenxing gave a wink, called Shu Tongwen and Li Zihan, and the three of them went straight to the yard outside.

"Zihan, do you really have the heart to lie to Lao Xu?" Gao Shenxing said angrily.

Shu Tongwen also frowned and said, "Yes Zihan, you don't know the captain's feelings for the 19th Route Army. It would be fine if this matter was true, but if it was fake, Lao Xu would probably not be able to bear it."

Li Zihan was originally a little guilty, but Gao Shenxing and Shu Tongwen both condemned him in unison, but he couldn't accept it. He immediately retorted: "How come you know that this news must be fake? Why can't Chief Gu talk to the Military Commission and ask for the number of the 19th Army for the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui?"

"Zihan, you know this is absolutely impossible. If Gu Zhutong was willing to do this, he would have asked us for the 19th Army number for us. How could he wait until today to remember to do it?" Gao Shenxing said, "And Chairman Jiang, Baldy Jiang. If he really wanted to do it, the 19th Army system should have been restored two years ago."

Li Zihan became angry and said furiously: "Gao Shenxing, I don't allow you to insult the leader."

"Bully leader" Gao Shenxing turned his back, "Jiang Baldy is just a waste, an idiot, a pig...

"Gao Shenxing, I have to kill you today, I will kill you." Li Zihan could no longer bear it, and rushed forward and hugged Gao Shenxing's waist, trying to overturn Gao Shenxing to the ground. Unfortunately, Gao Shenxing had received systematic grappling and fighting training but Li Zihan did not. Therefore, Gao Shenxing only made a random move, and Li Zihan rushed forward several steps, almost falling to eat shit.

"I want to kill me, Li Zihan, you are still young." Gao Shenxing clapped his hands and sneered disdainfully.

Li Zihan was so angry that he immediately reached his hand to his waist and tried to pull out the gun. However, before he could pull out the gun, Gao Shenxing had already pulled out the mirror box first and pressed the black muzzle on his head. Li Zihan's face turned pale in an instant, and the person was frozen in place and dared not move anymore.

"Forget it, brothers, why do you have to use a knife and a gun?" Shu Tongwen quickly came up to persuade him.

Li Zihan came to his senses and said sternly: "Gao Shenxing, you have really gained skills. Have you learned to point the gun at your own people?"

"Don't come with me for this." Gao Shenxing said, "Don't you want to draw out your gun just now? Also, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Let me tell you the truth. Lao Xu will join our Communist Party sooner or later. Your despair of obstructing this happening is destined to be futile. Lao Xu and you are not the same person."

Li Zihan retorted coldly: "Gao Shenxing, don't be too full of words."

"Then let's go and see." Gao Shenxing groaned and took off his gun and left.

Shu Tongwen looked at Li Zihan, sighed and walked with Gao Shen.

Watching Gao Shenxing, Shu Tongwen's figure left, and a trace of bitterness appeared in Li Zihan's eyes. It seemed that some things could not be avoided after all. Brothers turned against each other, and they really wanted to become a reality?

The spring offensive launched by the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in March and April of the 30th year of the Republic of China successfully concluded. This Spring Festival offensive can be said to have fully realized its tactical intentions. It not only successfully received the materials purchased by the Military Control Commission from Shanghai, but also severely damaged the Japanese army in southern Anhui, further improving the situation of the war of resistance in southern Anhui.

However, with the ease of the external environment faced by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, the assassination of Xu Shijiu was in full swing. Almost at the same time, both the Japanese and Military Control Commission sent operation teams to Longkou County to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Xu Shijiu.

Moreover, the intensity of this assassination operation is no longer comparable to the spontaneous assassination like Wei Guoqiang before. Both Haneda and the Military Control Commission sent the most outstanding gunmen and the most powerful operation team to Longkou, and both sides seemed determined to win.

A storm was quietly hitting towards Xu Shijiu.

"Case, shell, shell." Three very rhythmic knocks sounded outside the door. Liu Chang, who was paced back and forth in the room, flashed behind the door, pulled out the Browning pistol from his waist, then pressed his face against the door and asked, "Who?"

An equally depressing voice came from outside the door: "I"

Liu Chang frowned, opened the door a crack, and a black shadow flashed through the crack.

"Why are you here?" Although the lights were not turned on in the room, Liu Chang still recognized that the person who came in was clearly Yan Sanquan.

Although Liu Chang is anxious to send the information out now, he is even more afraid that Yan Sanquan Shen will come to him in the middle of the night and will be discovered by the spurlins inserted by the intelligence department. Once the spurlins of the intelligence department find that he is in contact with a mysterious person late at night, he will be finished. Maybe Ye Ruxue will have brought people to catch him now.

"Are you crazy?" Liu Chang roared in a suppressed voice, "Do you know there are eyeliners outside that are placed with information?"

"I know." Yan Sanquan sat down casually and said.

"I know you're still here?" Liu Chang was furious and roared, "Did you mean to kill me?"

"I don't have that leisure time." Yan Sanquan said coldly, "It's important that I come to find you."

"I won't talk about you for now." Liu Chang waved his hand, stopped Yan Sanquan, and then said, "Tell me first. I just got a top-secret news that an important figure of the New Fourth Army will come to southern Anhui in the near future. Xu Shijiu will set off for Yanke tomorrow. This is a rare opportunity."

Yan Sanquan stopped talking, but just looked at Liu Chang with a pity look.

Liu Chang was so furrowed all over when he was seen, he asked, "Are you looking at me like this?"

Yan Sanquan curled his lips and said, "I was thinking about how stupid the old Japanese devil should be, so I thought of using you as a traitor."

Liu Chang immediately blushed when he heard this and said angrily: "What do you mean by Yan Sanquan? I tell you, don't go too far."

"I'm too much?" Yan Sanquan said coldly, "Do you still have the most basic judgment? Before speaking and doing things, please use your brain to think about it? There are important figures in the New Fourth Army that will come to southern Anhui. Perhaps it is true. Xu Shijiu will rush to Yanke to meet important figures in the New Fourth Army. It may be true. But do you think Xu Shijiu may let you know the exact date of his departure?"

"What's impossible? After all, I am the county magistrate of Longkou." Liu Chang said.

"That's why I said you have no brains." Yan Sanquan pointed at Liu Chang's nose and said coldly, "You don't think about it. You have been monitored by the Intelligence Department. With Xu Shijiu's caution, he will let you know the date of his departure? You have been staying by Xu Shijiu's side as the slut County Magistrate of Longkou for a while, but how did I realize that you don't know Xu Shijiu at all? Is Xu Shijiu that stupid?"
