Cleaning up files is a tedious and time-consuming matter. It is definitely impossible for Sokov, Lukin and others to stay here and wait, so they followed Lyudnikov's advice and took a bus back to the nearby Xinjing Central Hotel to rest.
, waiting for the completion of the file cleaning work.
Since Sokov and Lukin were riding in an open-top jeep, they were immediately recognized when they passed by the crowd of onlookers outside. Someone shouted in the team: "This is how the Soviet general ordered people to kill all the Japs in the Gendarmerie."
of."
Hearing the shouts, the crowd immediately became excited, and everyone cheered for Sokov and Lukin.
Due to the loud noise, Lyudnikov, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around to talk to the two of them. He had to shout at the top of his lungs: "Misha, I didn't expect that you ordered people to wipe out the gendarmerie.
The Japanese were welcomed by the people of Xinjing."
To be fair, Sokov wanted to kill all the Japs in Xinjing City and use their blood and lives to repent to the Chinese people. But since this is not his own territory, even a military police unit to eliminate the Japs took a lot of effort.
There were many twists and turns. But now when he heard the people cheering for him, he felt that everything he had done was worth it. He approached Lyudnikov and said loudly: "Ivan, the little devil has occupied the Northeast for fourteen years and has done everything.
Bad things, the people here are eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Seeing that we have done a good deed that is very satisfying today, naturally they will cheer for joy."
After arriving at the Central Hotel, Sokov learned that Lyudnikov’s headquarters was located here. He couldn’t help but smile and said: “Ivan, this is really interesting. My headquarters is located at the Imperial Hotel in Fengtian.
, your headquarters is located in the Central Hotel in Xinjing, which is the place with the best environment."
Lyudnikov agreed with Sokov's statement: "Yes, not only is the environment here good, but more importantly, the buildings here are strong. Even if there is a war, there is no need to worry about the buildings falling.
It collapsed under the meager artillery fire of the Kwantung Army."
"Misha, I want to remind you something." Lu Jin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said: "Arranging files is a very tedious and time-consuming task. We may have to stay in Xinjing for a long time.
Time, so when choosing a place to live, don’t compromise.”
After hearing what Lu Jin said, Lyudnikov said with a smile: "Comrade Lu Jin, don't worry about accommodation. I will definitely arrange the best room for you." After saying that, he called a man.
The officer told the other party, "Immediately arrange the two best rooms for General Sokov and Comrade Lukin."
When the officer turned around and left, arranging rooms for Sokov and Lukin, Lyudnikov stopped the smile on his face, looked at Sokov and said seriously: "Misha, we found this secret that the Kwantung Army buried.
The batch of files is a good thing, but it is also a troublesome thing. It is a good thing because we can understand what the Kwantung Army did in the Northeast through this batch of files. It is a troublesome thing, as Comrade Lu Jin said
In that way, organizing files is a tedious and time-consuming task. I estimate that it will take at least a month or two to sort out all these files, and that is without any accidents."...
After hearing this, Sokov couldn't help being stunned: "Ivan, it's okay for the deputy commander and I to stay here for a few days, but if we really stay for a month or two, I'm afraid our superiors won't agree. Besides, the front commander
The department is currently stationed here in Xinjing."
"Yes." Lyudnikov nodded, and then he humbly asked Sokov for advice: "I wonder if you have any good ideas to speed up the process of organizing files?"
Sokov knew very well that there were tens of thousands of files found today. It was obviously unrealistic to sort them out in a short time. However, some of them could be sorted out first to reveal the crimes committed by the Kwantung Army in the Northeast.
.
"Ivan, this is what I think about." After thinking for a while, Sokov came up with a good idea and said to Lyudnikov: "I think the files seized from the gendarmerie today should be
It records the battle reports, battle plans, and various contents of colonial rule of various units of the Kwantung Army Military Police.
I think it's better to have people search for their postal inspection files, which should be an important part of the various files, and we can find what we need."
"Yes, yes. Misha, you are right." Sokov's words made Lyudnikov's eyes light up. "During the war, postal inspection agencies were set up in the armies of various countries to inspect officers and soldiers.
Are there any violations of discipline or leaks in the letters? If we only inquired about their postal inspection files, it would not only reduce the workload of the comrades, but at the same time, we could know the crimes committed by the Kwantung Army in the shortest possible time.
I will immediately arrange manpower to sort out the postal inspection files. I believe it won’t be long before we know something useful.”
Since Lyudnikov only arranged the manpower to sort out the postal review files, the work intensity of the relevant personnel was greatly reduced. At ten o'clock in the evening, Lyudnikov, who was still in his office, received a call about the files.
In terms of sorting: "Comrade Commander, after several hours of hard work, we have sorted out a total of 450 postal inspection files, which were formed from 1939 to 1945. The targets are Kwantung Army soldiers and military service personnel.
Expatriates from island countries; military and political figures in colonies and occupied territories; foreigners, especially missionaries, and members of public consulates and embassies.
The content of the inspection is the correspondence, telegrams, phone calls, and publications of the above-mentioned personnel that reflect the atrocities of the Kwantung Army, war situations, etc. The area where postal inspection is implemented covers the puppet Manchukuo, North China, Central China, and South China, as well as Southeast Asia.
.”
When Lyudnikov heard this, he hummed, and then ordered the other party: "I have sorted out 450 files, which doesn't seem to be much. I will have them sent to my office later, and I want to review them myself."
Unexpectedly, the other party fell silent after listening to Lyudnikov's words.
Lyudnikov was a little surprised when he heard the phone suddenly went silent. He said loudly into the phone: "Hey, hey, hey, are you still there? Are you still there?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander."
"Since you are still here, why don't you speak?" Lyudnikov said with some displeasure, "I thought there was something wrong with the line."
"Comrade Commander, you may have misunderstood. What I said is that 450 files have been sorted out, not that there are only 450 files." The officer said cautiously: "If you want to see it, I'm afraid it will take you a few months to finish it.

"This is impossible." As a group army commander, Lyudnikov is very confident in his speed in reading documents. "How long can I read 450 files?"
"Comrade Commander, let me tell you this." Seeing that Lyudnikov insisted on seeing the files, the officer quickly explained: "There are about 45,000 letters involved in this batch of files, among which the number of people from the island nation is
Communication between the two accounts for more than 50%.”
"What, among the 450 files, there are 45,000 letters involved?" Lyudnikov jumped up from his seat when he heard this: "There are actually so many?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander, there are just that many." After the officer said this, he was silent for a moment, and then continued: "But these files are only a small part of them compared with the files we seized today. If
If you really want to see it, I might bring you some representative files."
"Well, yes." Lyudnikov nodded and said, "Then bring it as soon as possible. I'll wait for you in the office."
After putting down the phone, Lyudnikov pressed the call bell in front of him. After the adjutant came in from the outside, he ordered the other person: "Comrade adjutant, you go to the two generals Sokov and Lukin immediately and say
I have something important to show them. If they have nothing else to do, come and see it with your own eyes."
Sokov was in his room, calling Yakov who was far away in Fengtian to inquire about the situation there. When he had almost understood the situation, he was about to hang up the phone when he heard a knock on the door from outside.
At the same time, a man asked outside: "General Sokov, General Sokov, are you inside?"
When Sokov heard someone calling him, he guessed that it must be someone sent by Lyudnikov, so he said into the microphone: "Yasha, General Lyudnikov sent someone to call me. There may be something important."
.During my absence in Fengtian, all matters will be left to you to handle with full authority."
After putting down the phone, Sokov quickly came to the door and opened the door.
Standing at the door was a colonel. Sokov recognized him as Lyudnikov's adjutant, and asked politely: "Comrade adjutant, is it General Lyudnikov who wants to see me?"
"Yes, Comrade General." The adjutant replied respectfully: "Comrade Commander said that he has something important to show to you and Comrade Lu Jin. He asked me to come over and take a look. If there is nothing wrong with you, just
Please come with him to his office."
"No problem." Sokov readily agreed to go to Lyudnikov's office, but before leaving with the adjutant, he first knocked on Lukin's door, pushed his wheelchair and followed the adjutant there.
Lyudnikov's office.
When Sokov and Lukin arrived at the office, Lyudnikov was walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. When he saw Sokov and Lukin entering the door, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile: "Misha, you are here.
."
"Ivan," Sokov looked at Lyudnikov and asked, "You called us over and said you had something important to show us. Is it a file?"
"That's right." Lyudnikov nodded and said, "My subordinates called me and said that they had compiled 450 files, which recorded all the bad things the little devils had done since the invasion. Because there were too many files
, I only asked them to send some important files to us.”…
"General Lyudnikov," Lu Jin asked in surprise after waiting for Lyudnikov to finish speaking: "Since only 450 copies have been sorted out, why only take some of the important ones instead of all of them?"
Sokov also had the same question in his mind, but since Lukin had asked Lyudnikov on his behalf, he did not speak anymore, but looked at Lyudnikov, waiting for him to tell him what he wanted to know.
Answer.
"Comrade Lu Jin, you may not know that when I answered the phone, I had the same idea as you and asked the officer responsible for sorting out the files to bring all the files over." Lyudnikov said to Lu with a smile.
Jin explained: "But my subordinates told me that although there are only 450 files compiled, there are as many as 45,000 letters involved. If they were all taken, I might not be able to fit them in my office.
That’s why I asked them to bring some of them over. Through these files, we can also understand the heinous crimes committed by the Kwantung Army against the Chinese people in the Northeast."
When Lyudnikov's officer arrived, Sokov stared straight at the other party as soon as he entered the door, wanting to see how many files he had brought. He even took the time to glance at the door, wanting to see
Knowing whether there were soldiers pushing a cart waiting outside, he only waited for Lyudnikov's consent to push the cart filled with files in.
"Misha." Lujin noticed Sokov's abnormality and asked in a low voice: "What are you looking around for?"
"I'm looking to see if there are any soldiers pushing a cart outside the door."
"A soldier pushing a cart?" Lu Jin asked with surprise after hearing this: "What are you doing pushing a cart? Are you bringing us midnight snacks?"
"No, Comrade Deputy Commander." Sokov quickly explained to Lukin: "I'm thinking that this officer may have brought a lot of files. He can't hold them in his hands, so he can only put them on a trolley.
, let a soldier push and follow him."
"Misha, this is impossible." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, Lukin poured cold water on him: "Before this officer came in, I listened carefully and there were no wheels running on the ground outside.
The sound it makes. In other words, the trolley you imagine does not exist at all."
After hearing what Lukin said, Sokov thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case. The door of Lyudnikov's office was not closed. If the officer really brought a soldier pushing a trolley, there should be some distance between him and him.
Looking far away, he could hear the sound of wheels rolling on the floor, but when the other party came in, it was quiet outside, which meant that the so-called trolley was just a figment of his imagination.
Sokov turned his attention to Lyudnikov and the officer again. The officer took out a bulging document bag from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Lyudnikov.
Said: "Comrade Commander, this is the important file I have prepared for you."
Lyudnikov took the document bag and did not open it immediately, but asked cautiously: "Can I understand the content above?"
"Don't worry, Comrade Commander." The officer replied: "Although the contents in the files are all in Japanese, I had people translate them before coming here, so you can easily read the contents in the files.
