Chapter 1157 Testing

Vice Minister Li, an old underground party member who has been lurking in the Party Investigation Section for many years, has served in many positions including Director of the Military and Political Security Bureau, Director of the Work Department, Director of the Liaison Bureau, and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Social Affairs. He has rich experience in intelligence work.

More than ten years of turbulent intelligence career made him understand that many coincidences are actually careful and clever arrangements, just like today's incident.

Zuo Zhong invited Cui Hongyong to drink, and during the dinner he accidentally revealed that Zhu Wenlin was a fruit party agent, and then came to him and told him that Cui Hongyong was a Japanese spy.

With this action, both the Fruit Party and the Japanese spies were exposed, and the situation was excellent. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, and the comrades could just wait to be rewarded for their meritorious service.

But is there a possibility that the other party has known Cui Hongyong's true identity for a long time and used Cui Hongyong to lure Zhu Wenlin.

But why did Zuo Zhong do this?

Thinking along this line of thinking, it is understandable that the other party dug out Cui Hongyong. After all, the military commander and the Japanese secret service had long forged a bloody feud.

What about Zhu Wenlin? Zhu Wenlin is an agent of the national government, and may even be a high-ranking mole under Dai Chunfeng. Zuo Zhong should not deliberately target his own people.

Eliminate dissidents?

Zuo Zhong is someone's fellow countryman, the favorite disciple of Military Commander Dai Chunfeng, and a disciple of Zhu Liuxian. He will soon become the leading figure of the Fruit Party. Zhu Wenlin will not be able to threaten the opponent's position even if it takes another hundred years.

Excluding the impossible, even if the rest is impossible, it is the truth - the deputy director of the Military Command Bureau and the famous spy Zuo Zhong sympathizes with Guoming or the underground party.

Of course, the premise for this inference to be true is that Zuo Shige realized very early that Keiji Sankage was a Japanese spy.

After Vice Minister Li asked the question, he turned to stare at Zuo Zhong's face, wanting to see the other person's reaction to judge whether his guess was correct.

When Zuo Zhong heard Deputy Minister Li's probing, he immediately looked surprised, as if he was thinking about why the other party asked such a question, and then nodded with a smile.

"Of course, removing the loaded bullet and turning off the safety during the stabbing can only be used as a reference. What really made me suspect Cui Hong was the action of putting the handkerchief on his head while bathing.

Lao Li, you may not know, but this is part of Japanese bathing culture, known as steaming towels. Japanese believe that covering the head with a towel can help the body maintain temperature and increase the evaporation rate of sweat. It is also regarded as a kind of etiquette. .

Cui Hongyong said that he was born in Beiping University, had never studied in Japan, and had no Japanese relatives, so why did he have this habit.

Apart from the fact that he is a Japanese spy, I can't think of any other possibility. Combined with the sudden appearance of the Shannan guerrilla detachment, Cui Hongyong's identity is self-evident. What do you think, Lao Li? "

After popularizing Japanese bathing culture, Zuo Zhong stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. Through the burning fire caused by the explosion, he could see groups of Eighth Route Army troops moving north from the bank of the Yellow River.

Vice Minister Li on the side didn't see anything, and was a little suspicious and disappointed, but he was relieved when he thought about the other party's qualifications.

A senior intelligence officer like Zuo Zhong would not reveal his true inner thoughts so easily, so he smiled and stopped talking, speeding up his steps.

Half past one in the morning.

Half an hour before the anti-bandit operation started.

The observation group arrived at the Tutu Temple, the scheduled observation site, and Vice Minister Li handed over the peripheral security tasks to the Shanxi South Guerrilla Detachment.

This arrangement was both an order from the superior and a sign of appeasement. Through this move, Vice Minister Li wanted to tell the guerrillas that Cui Hongyong was Cui Hongyong and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Sure enough, the guerrillas quickly regained their morale. Everyone, including the young soldiers, swept away their previous decadence, straightened their waists, and patrolled near the Earth Temple with guns on their backs.

Zuo Zhong couldn't help but sigh, a famous general is a famous general, and he can stabilize people's hearts through a small thing, which is similar to the Ming Taizu who accepted Chen Zhaoxian and surrendered his troops.

At that time, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty broke through Chen Zhaoxian's military camp, and more than 36,000 Chen Zhaoxian soldiers surrendered. Due to the uncertain future, the mood of these surrendered soldiers was very unstable.

Taizu of the Ming Dynasty saw the clues. In order to express his sincerity, he selected 500 warriors from among the surrendered soldiers as personal soldiers, leaving only one personal soldier to lead the soldiers to protect him. This won the hearts of the army in one fell swoop.

Although the Shannan guerrillas are not surrendered soldiers, the instructor is a spy, which will inevitably make them worried. Vice Minister Li's arrangement is really clever.

As for the internal security of the observation site, the Anti-War Alliance is responsible for it. Like the above arrangements, this move demonstrates the broad mind and incomparable magnanimity of the underground party. It also proves that the underground party does not lack the necessary skills.

In the Tutu Temple, Zuo Zhong looked at an anti-war alliance soldier and found that he was standing in the standard military posture of the Eighth Route Army. If he were not wearing a badly worn Eighth Route Army uniform, he would not have been able to tell that he was Japanese from his appearance.

Thinking of the stubborn performance of the Japanese army on the battlefield, he sighed with emotion: "Deputy Minister Li, your army's methods are superb. Even the Japanese can instigate rebellion. Zuo admires it."

Having dealt with the Japanese for so many years, Zuo Chong knew that non-nationals like Hase Ryosuke and Anqing Navy Commander Ozawagawa were still in the minority.

Most of the Japanese have been completely brainwashed by Bushido. They are as smelly and hard as the stones in the latrine, and they rarely surrender.

Taking the Guo army as an example, from the beginning of the war to the present, the government has captured about 1000 people, including military personnel and non-combatants such as family members of Japanese soldiers, comfort women, businessmen, etc.

There were also hundreds of people transferred by the Eighth Route Army. In other words, the number of Japanese military personnel captured by the Guo Army itself definitely did not exceed 500.

After being imprisoned, none of these prisoners was willing to cooperate with the government. They often went on hunger strikes to protest, or tried to initiate riots, which was very difficult to manage.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army not only captured the Japanese, but also allowed them to appear on the battlefield as combatants. No wonder someone was so afraid of the underground party. In terms of the United Front, the underground party was second, and no one dared to claim first. Although Zuo Zhong was complimenting him, Deputy Director Li corrected him in a serious tone after hearing this: "Deputy Director Zuo, please note that they are not devils, but our comrades and comrades-in-arms.

Our goal is to overthrow Japanese fascism, establish people's power, liberate the Japanese working people from the barbaric system and capitalist exploitation, and work hard to build a new Japan. "

Gan~ A road that was never imagined.

Zuo Zhong was filled with emotion as he listened to what the other party said. If this thing came true, the future world structure would be very interesting.

In fact, in history, the Anti-War League and subsequent organizations almost succeeded, but in the end they failed due to the counterattack of the Americans and domestic reactionary forces.

It's a pity, I have to say, but this is determined by the characteristics of the Japanese nation.

During the White Russian Civil War, the Japanese soldiers tried to strangle the newly born Red Russia and sent troops to invade Siberia. During the war, the Japanese soldiers at the bottom came into contact with the underground party for the first time and had the concept of class for the first time.

It is said that these enlightened people should follow the path of the Red Russia, carry out armed struggle to eliminate the domestic plutocrats and landlords, launch the workers' movement, and establish their own parties and political power.

As a result, they did mobilize workers to drive away the coal mine foremen and capitalists, and then they worked hard to dig coal themselves, more than tripling their daily output.

The clear-minded Japanese believe that doing so will definitely shame the capitalists, thereby improving the treatment of workers and realizing the ideas of the underground party.

To be honest, when Zuo Zhong saw this incident in the military command documents, he almost laughed like a pig. He could only imagine the reaction of those capitalists when they learned about it.

The gentlemen will definitely smile, give a thumbs up, and tell each other: It’s a deal!

Workers who don’t need money can double their output, which is a double happiness.

This kind of "life separation" is simply a joke.

Precisely because he knew that the Japanese people had multiple brains, Zuo Zhong understood how difficult it was to establish the anti-war alliance, and quickly apologized. You have to admit your mistakes.

"Okay, okay, Zuo made a mistake."

As he spoke, he saw from the corner of his eye the faces of the Anti-War Alliance soldiers turning red. They were obviously moved by Deputy Minister Li's protection, and he had unknowingly become a villain.

While they were talking, another messenger rushed to the Tutu Temple to report to Deputy Minister Li that the bandit suppression troops had entered the planned attack position. The target Fang Laoliu did not escape. He led his men to fight stubbornly in the bandit's nest. It seemed that he wanted to fight against the Eighth Route Army. Give it a try.

In addition, the main forces in northwestern Shanxi are also attacking Japanese garrisons in various places to coordinate this operation, so as to prevent the enemies on the other side from taking the opportunity to cross the river after the battle begins.

Zuo Zhong frowned upon hearing this, thinking about the troop deployment of the Japanese 1st Army, especially the intelligence of the Japanese Air Force, and gave Vice Minister Li a warning.

"Old Li, I'm afraid that Fang Laoliu has a tacit understanding with the Japanese. This guy is here to hold back your army. Once it gets daybreak, the Japanese aviation force can calmly launch air strikes.

What's more serious is that if your troops in northwest Shanxi are entangled by the garrison, the independent mixed 16th brigade stationed in Fenyang will be surrounded from the west, and the battle situation will not be optimistic.

In this way, even if Fang Laoliu is wiped out, it will make up for your losses. In my opinion, it is better to evacuate the combat troops on the spot, besiege instead of attack, and wait until tomorrow night? "

He was about to suggest that the Eighth Route Army attack again tomorrow night when he suddenly glanced at the calm Vice Minister Li. He thought of a big event and suddenly stopped talking and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Old Li, you are not interesting enough. I am afraid that your army's attack on Fang Laoliu is a lie. It is true that you transfer the troops from Fenyang to destroy the Zhengtai Railway!"

This move is really beautiful. Yoshio Shinozuka, an old Japanese, and the Japanese in Jin Province are going to be in trouble. Zuo's class is a master of tricks. "

To be able to successfully reach the border area despite being pursued and intercepted by millions of troops of the Kuomintang, and to be able to gain a foothold in North China under the noses of the Japanese, the war wisdom of the elders is not something he can comment on, even if he comes from later generations.

The Zhengtai Railway is the economic and military lifeline connecting Shanxi and Hebei provinces. The Japanese army controlled this railway and used it as a transportation artery for transporting troops, equipment and important supplies in North China.

If you want to open up the anti-Japanese war in North China, you must destroy this railway. Historically, it seems that the Eighth Route Army launched its earth-shattering attack this year.

Vice Minister Li did not respond to Zuo Zhong's speculation, but pointed at the three signal flares that were slowly rising into the sky.

"Here we go, Deputy Director Zuo."

The observation group quickly stood at the gate of Tutu Temple and looked up. Because it was too dark, no one saw anything. Just when Mr. Chen and others were confused, the anti-bandit troops hidden in various locations moved!

Near the stone bridge in front of Fang Laoliu's bandit lair, three Type 92 heavy machine guns fired first. Three tongues of flames shot toward the bandit bunker on the other side of the river. Tracer bullets streaked across the night sky, illuminating the dark night sky.

Faintly, Zuo Zhong saw multiple Eighth Route Army detachments wedged into the position like steel knives, using various tactical moves to leap to the bridgehead and engage in exchanges of fire with the bandits.

(The border plot will end in the next update, and the next plot will continue with Japan, and then the overseas plot)
