Chapter 17 Section 8

Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "Hey, you didn't mention it, I forgot, why can't the 'Meiling' be given to Delin? Anyway, we have the 'Zhongmei', which is enough." Then he turned to Li Zongren He said to Mrs. Li Guo Dejie: ​​"In the future, you can use the 'Meiling number'." "Don't dare to be, dare not be." "Delin, why are you being polite between us brothers? From now on, you can use the 'Meiling number'." Song Meiling turned to Guo Dejie and said: "'Meiling' is very good, very suitable for air travel, and the equipment inside is specially made..."

"Of course it's the best!" Guo Dejie was obviously very interested in the "Meiling", "We've never sat on it before!" Li Zongren smiled and said nothing, obviously he was also very grateful to Chiang Kai-shek for "the kindness of giving up the robe". Since then, Guo Dejie has repeatedly proposed to Li Zongren to take the "Meiling" special plane to take time to go to Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places to relax, especially after Chiang Kai-shek's resignation and Song Meiling was in the United States again. The "Meiling" special plane has been parked quietly at Jianqiao Air Force Airport in Hangzhou.Guo Dejie was even more eager to try, but it was during the War of Liberation, and the situation of the Kuomintang army and the government was becoming more and more urgent. Li Zongren had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he had no time to accompany his wife to experience the comfort of the "Meiling" cruise.

At this time, Mao Renfeng, Shen Zui and others had already opened a small grocery store on the street leading to the airport outside Guanghua Gate in Nanjing. At the same time, they specially installed a telephone and prepared two fighter jets on standby at any time. .Once he discovered that Li Zongren was going to the airport, he called and reported in accordance with the prescribed code words. Mao Renfeng told the fighter jets to follow Li Zongren's plane, and as soon as it left the sky over Nanjing, he would shoot in the air, causing the plane to be destroyed. In this way, the purpose of assassinating Li Zongren can be achieved by using the excuse of a plane crash in the air without too much trouble.Of course, the personnel investigating the air crash must be members of the military command, and they must destroy the evidence of the real situation of the incident, so as not to give the Guangxi army and public opinion an excuse.

Looking back now, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling presented the "Meiling" as a gift, but it was just to make Li Zongren and his wife more interested in taking the opportunity to travel abroad, so as to facilitate the "accident" cleanly and neatly. Chiang Kai-shek can be described as well-intentioned for this. When formulating the plan, what pleased Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Renfeng was that Mrs. Li Guo Dejie had always had a special liking for the plane. In addition, Song Meiling was far away in the United States, so it was logical that the special plane "Meiling" was given to them.

After Guo Dejie learned about it, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.This Xiaojia Biyu, who was born in a carpenter's family, was born beautiful and intelligent, and was still studying in elementary school before marrying Li Zongren.One day, Li Zongren took a battalion commander to the tower in Guiping, Guangxi to see the "beauties". He saw Guo Dejie in the student parade at a glance, so he decided to divorce his wife and marry another, and embraced the beauty.From then on, she accompanied Li Zongren in and out of elegant halls, which added a lot of face to Li Zongren.Li Zongren loved and trusted him very much.

However, Li Zongren, who had always been obedient to his wife in the face of the "Meiling" special plane delivered by Chiang Kai-shek, ignored Guo Dejie this time.He has never exceeded the rules and has not accepted Chiang Kai-shek's kindness.In Li Zongren's view, it is Chiang Kai-shek's usual method to win others with such small favors.Moreover, he was annoyed that Chiang Kai-shek had demolished him behind his back.Therefore, regardless of his wife's pouted lips, he declined Chiang Kai-shek's "kindness" without hesitation. The "acting president" doesn't want to fly, so he can't be tied to the plane abruptly.

The people in the assassination team are also gone, they don't know which plan is feasible.After Chiang Kai-shek learned about it, he was originally inclined to the third plan.Seeing that Li Zongren didn't fall into the trap, he had to start with the other two plans.After listening to Mao Renfeng's report, he said: "If you do something in the city, you must have my order. If there is no order, you must not act recklessly. As long as you monitor it, you can do it, but you can't reveal any rumors." Chiang Kai-shek paused and said: "Hmph, if he leaves Nanjing without permission, then he doesn't have to wait for my order. He is probably going to mobilize troops. As long as he is outside the city, he can do it."

After Mao Renfeng conveyed Chiang Kai-shek's words to Shen Zui and others, Shen Zui and others made another arrangement.Because most of the Guangxi troops were concentrated in the Anhui area at that time, the action team bought a house near the train station and set up a cigarette stand. Once Li Zongren left by train, he rushed there immediately and carried out sniping at the small stations where the train stopped along the way. If you want to do something outside Nanjing, you must take advantage of the opportunity to go out for fun, and Li Zongren generally does not leave Nanjing easily, and occasionally just goes to Hangzhou to relax.So the action team opened a small restaurant on the road near Tangshan. Once Li Zongren left Nanjing by car, he would use the two high-speed cars Mao Renfeng specially assigned to the action team to chase after him and conduct a snipe on the way.

After repeated comparisons, Mao Renfeng went to and from Xikou several times, and finally decided to adopt the safe first plan.Back in Shanghai, he summoned Shen Zui almost every day, and ordered: "Now the country is in critical condition, and Li Zongren's delusion is to replace the president to disrupt the future of the party and the country. You must be prepared and be on standby at all times. Once the order of the president is issued, the task will be successfully completed." Mao Renfeng gritted his teeth and told Shen Zui and others: "If he doesn't go out, then go into his house and kill him!"

Therefore, Mao Renfeng recruited two more special agents from Nanjing Electric Lamp Company to assist the special operations team in carrying out the assassination mission. He used the excuse of overhauling the transformer so that he could stand behind the transformer and shoot at Li Zongren's bedroom and restaurant from the outside with a portable machine gun. Also completed the task of climbing the wall and entering the courtyard to snipe. The members of the operation team have even been issued bullets with strong powder inside the bullets. No matter where the bullets are shot into any part of the human body, they will cause blood poisoning and cannot be cured.

At the same time, Thompson machine guns and several bombs were also prepared at old bookstalls and other places for forced sniping.In addition, the action team also added some secret agents who were accustomed to assassination, and made arrangements in layers. Once Li Zongren was killed, several other important Guangxi generals were also killed. The blood net has been pulled open. Shen Zuihu crouched on the ground, and led his assassination team to sharpen their knives. The arrangement was foolproof, waiting for Chiang Kai-shek's action order.
