More importantly, Ning Zhiheng planned to build his own intelligence network in Shanghai, which must consist of his trusted cronies; he absolutely could not allow anyone from the department to infiltrate it.
The two men spoke frankly and quickly discussed all the details. Zheng Hongbo then got up to take his leave. Ning Zhiheng saw him off and immediately called his officers to his office to discuss the next steps.
He looked around at the officers in the room, all of whom were his trusted subordinates, and said loudly, "Everyone is aware of the current situation. From now on, we will be operating behind enemy lines, in Shanghai, to carry out sabotage operations against the Japanese when the opportunity arises."
But if we want to infiltrate Shanghai, we first need money, so the transportation from the Pudong warehouse cannot stop. Fortunately, I had been careful beforehand, and the thirty trucks were still in the warehouse on the other side of the river.
As for the Director, I've already made arrangements; he has tacitly approved of our actions.
Yueze, lead our men across the river tonight and intensify our efforts to seize warehouses and move supplies. Rest during the day and work tirelessly through the night. I estimate that the Nationalist army will inevitably retreat completely within a month at most. Time is running out, everyone must give it your all!
"Yes, sir!" the officers shouted in unison.
"Hongyi, inform You Laoliu to organize more ships and increase transportation capacity to rush supplies. We can't let the Japanese benefit from this."
"Yes!" Ji Hongyi replied loudly.
Ning Zhiheng assigned the task to his subordinates, and then left his post and rushed to Depp Hospital.
Miao Yongyi's injuries are gradually healing, and in a few days his mobility will be restored. He will then head to the rear base, and the two brothers will go their separate ways again. Naturally, they will want to spend more time together.
He entered Miao Yongyi's ward and saw Miao Yongyi practicing walking by the bedside, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He smiled and said to him, "You haven't changed your impatient nature at all. Haste makes waste. You should act according to your ability."
After saying that, he placed the fruit in his hand on the bedside table, and then smiled at Chen Zhengwen, who was greeting him from the side, and said, "Brother Chen, you are in good spirits today. It seems that we can withdraw to the rear soon!"
"The hospital has informed me that I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. I owe you a lot this time, Brother Ning. I'll definitely treat you to a proper drink sometime in the future," Chen Zhengwen said sincerely.
“Okay, it’s a deal!” Ning Zhiheng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Miao Yongyi was about to collapse, so he leaned against the bedside, took a deep breath, and said in a muffled voice, "I really don't want to stay here. I just hope I can get better soon so I can take up my gun again and fight the Japanese to avenge my brothers!"
His words silenced everyone around him. Only Ning Zhiheng stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Don't be impatient. I have some free time these days, so I'll practice with you more. Just be patient and let your injury heal."
The three chatted for a while. Ning Zhiheng noticed that the ward was too crowded, so he helped Miao Yongyi to the yard to practice walking.
Chen Zhengwen was also resting in his hospital bed when Wang Zhenjiang, who was sitting in the next bed, gently asked, "Brother Chen, who was that major just now? He seemed to know you and Brother Miao quite well."
Chen Zhengwen nodded and replied, "That officer is Brother Miao's classmate at the Whampoa Military Academy, Major Ning Zhiheng! Don't let his young age fool you, he is a major in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, and he has a lot of influence. I was on the verge of death when I was in danger, and it was thanks to him that I received a vial of sulfamethoxazole, otherwise I would have been meeting the King of Hell long ago!"
“Ning Zhiheng?” Wang Zhenjiang was taken aback when he heard the name.
"What? You know him?" Chen Zhengwen asked.
Wang Zhenjiang subconsciously shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I just saw that he looks very young, but he's already a major, so I asked him. This Major Ning is no ordinary person!"
Chen Zhengwen agreed with this. He knew that Ning Zhiheng was no ordinary person. In the army, it was impossible to get promoted so quickly just by fighting hard, let alone as an officer in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. This was naturally due to the powerful background of Major Ning Zhiheng. However, Ning Zhiheng was his savior, and he did not want to gossip about Ning Zhiheng behind his back, so he did not respond to Wang Zhenjiang's words.
Wang Zhenjiang wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Chen Zhengwen was unwilling to talk about it, he was slightly disappointed and had no choice but to remain silent.
