Xu Dalong immediately asked Sun Desheng to gather eight cavalry squadrons, plus Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron and rush to Ping'an County.
Monk Wei led a detachment of the special operations squadron to set off first, heading towards Lingao City to find the whereabouts of the Japanese unit.
Su Xiaoyan heard that Xu Dalong and others were going to Ping'an County, and she wanted to follow them. Xu Dalong understood her mood and asked her to bring a medical team with her.
Zhao Gang was now looking forward to Xu Dalong's departure with his troops. Once he set off, he would definitely bring back a large amount of income. Especially this time, he was even more looking forward to it when he heard that he was going specifically to find supplies.
As soon as Xu Dalong and the others set off, Zhao Gang found the person in charge of the transportation team and asked him to fill up all the transportation vehicles with oil and be ready to set off at any time and bring the supplies back.
Zhao Gang was originally a very free and easy person, but now he has become a bit of a miser. This is also due to the environment. No matter who is replaced as the big housekeeper, thousands of people in the base area have to eat, clothe, various institutions, and research
The arsenal, the clothing factory, as well as the money-burning airplanes, tanks, and armored vehicles were all chasing him for money all day long. Zhao Gang couldn't stand it if he didn't plan carefully and expand his financial resources.
Wang Xiaohu is similar now. Although he is not the one who signs off on large expenditures, but as the executor, he is also under great pressure. Every time when a large amount of materials are pulled out of the warehouse of the logistics department and it becomes empty,
He would also feel very disappointed. Of course he also hoped that the captain and the others would be able to bring back their belongings when they went out, since firewood and rice are so expensive if you are not a family member.
Ping'an County.
Wang Xinmin was on duty in the clinic when he suddenly saw Yuji Hirata, a Japanese doctor in the clinic, walk in. He nodded to Wang Xinmin, went to Shimizu Kazuo's office, and left in a hurry not long after.
Yuji Hirata left the clinic with Kazuo Shimizu two days ago. His sudden return and hasty departure aroused Wang Xinmin's suspicion. He had received a notice from Zhao Xiaoman, asking him to pay close attention to the actions of Kazuo Shimizu and others.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he made an excuse to leave the clinic and followed him quietly.
Zhao Xiaoman received a notice from Zheng Xirong, asking him to protect Wang Xinmin's safety. He brought two guerrillas from the intelligence station to the clinic. One of the guerrillas disguised himself as a patient and went to the clinic to find Wang Xinmin, only to learn that he had
out.
Zhao Xiaoman and others waited around for a long time, but did not see Wang Xinmin return. They went to Wang Xinmin's home, but still found no trace of him.
They were worried that something would happen to Wang Xinmin, so they reported the situation to Xu Dalong.
When Xu Dalong heard the news, he felt a little depressed. He told Zhao Xiaoman and others not to expose themselves, and asked them to continue to stay near the clinic for surveillance. Once there was news about Wang Xinmin, they should report to him quickly.
Xu Dalong was worried that Su Xiaoyan would be anxious after hearing the news, so he looked at Lin Xueying.
Lin Xueying was a thoughtful girl. After translating the contents of the telegram, she knew what to do. She nodded towards Xu Dalong, indicating that she knew what to do.
Xu Dalong likes Lin Xueying's ice-snow intelligence, and this tacit understanding makes him feel very comfortable.
Xu Dalong led his troops to the vicinity of Pingan County and met Li Changshui and Chu Yun'er at the agreed location.
Chu Yun'er was very happy to see Xu Dalong, but she felt a little ashamed because she had not been able to complete the task. She said: "Brother Dalong, we went to find the monk who knew the situation, but we were late. We will not delay you."
Something?"
Xu Dalong comforted her with a smile and said, "Miss Chu, it's okay. The information you provided is very important. If we can find that batch of supplies this time, I will give you credit."
Chu Yun'er felt relieved, smiled brightly at Xu Dalong, and said: "It doesn't matter whether you remember the merit or not, as long as it doesn't delay your affairs."
Li Changshui was depressed because he had not found the monk and had lost the clues for the investigation. He asked anxiously: "Captain, have you got any clues?"
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "Although I don't dare to be 100% sure now, I am almost 10% certain. Today we should be able. If it doesn't surprise me, we can know the secret hidden in Ping'an County."
Although Li Changshui had great trust in Xu Dalong, he was an agent after all and was very meticulous in his work. He still asked Xu Dalong how he made his judgment.
Xu Dalong told Li Changshui the basis for his judgment, and Li Changshui said excitedly: "It makes sense. The Japanese army must have grasped the clues, otherwise they would not have sent this unit to Ping'an County. We have followed this matter so far
It’s been a long time and I finally have some clues, which is great.”
Everyone has been waiting for news about Monk Wei and Wang Pao.
About half an hour later, Monk Wei sent a telegram saying that the Japanese army did not go to Pingan County, but turned to the direction of Cangyun Ridge halfway.
When Xu Dalong first joined the army, he was in Cangyunling. He was very familiar with the terrain in that area, so he didn't need a guide at all. He just led the troops there.
Under Cuiyun Peak to the west of Cangyun Ridge, Kazuo Shimizu and several Japanese agents in plain clothes were interrogating a middle-aged monk.
This man's hands were tied, his forehead was bruised, and there were blood marks on the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been beaten.
Opposite the middle-aged monk, there was a man in his thirties. He knelt on the ground and said with tears: "Master, I am really sorry. You are so kind to me. I am not willing to betray you, but they
I have arrested the villain's parents, wife and children. I really can't do anything about it. I'm really sorry." As he said this, he started to cry.
The middle-aged monk looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
The man in his thirties pleaded: "Master, after so many years, all your old brothers have died, and I am the only one left. You can't do what you want to do, and there is no use keeping these things."
.For the sake of me following you for many years, please save my family and give them these things."
The middle-aged monk still refused to say anything.
Kazuo Shimizu is usually gentle and gentle, but at this moment he became a little angry and asked with a ferocious face: "Then Chuanrong, are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, I will kill you now."
Seeing that the middle-aged monk still didn't speak, he asked the two Japanese agents behind him to continue to beat the middle-aged monk.
At this time, Yuji Hirata rushed over and whispered a few words into Kazuo Shimizu's ear.
Kazuo Shimizu asked in confusion: "What is he here for?"
Hirata Yuji said: "I don't know, he followed me all the way. Mr. Zuo, did he discover our secret? Just get rid of him."
Kazuo Shimizu shook his head and said, "Don't touch him until the matter is clear." After that, he said to the Japanese agents behind him: "Inoue, take someone with you, tie him up, and blindfold him.
Hei Bu, lock him up first and observe him carefully to see if anyone is following him."
"Ha Yin." A stout Japanese agent agreed, and then led another slender agent and followed Hirata Yuuji out along the valley.
Wang Xinmin followed Yuji Hirata all the way to the foot of Cuiyun Peak. He saw Yuji Hirata entering the valley, and he planned to follow him. So he asked the coachman to continue following the carriage in front.
Seeing the dangerous mountains ahead, the driver was worried that something might happen and refused to continue going forward.
Wang Xinmin took out ten oceans, which was five times the fare price he had negotiated with the coachman. For the sake of money, the coachman agreed.
After entering the valley and walking for a while, Wang Xinmin saw the carriage Yuji Hirata was riding in, parked in front. He followed it.
As he walked, he observed the carriage in front of him, but saw no one. Hirata must have gotten off the carriage from here, and he didn't know where he went.
Wang Xinmin stopped the carriage next to the carriage in front of him. He got out of the carriage and looked around, but found no trace of Yuji Hirata.
He kept looking up and didn't pay attention to the situation below his feet.
Suddenly the coachman screamed: "It's a murder."
Only then did Wang Xinmin discover that not far from his feet, a foot was exposed next to a rock.
The coachman was looking there and shaking all over. It was obvious that he knew the dead man, otherwise he would have been scared away.
Wang Xinming went over and saw that it was indeed the carriage driver who died. There was no doubt that Yuji Hirata killed him.
Wang Xinmin realized the danger and hurriedly said to the carriage driver: "Let's go quickly." The carriage driver came to his senses and jumped rope to get out of the carriage.
Wang Xinmin was about to get in the car when two agents with guns suddenly appeared behind them and ordered them to stand still and not move.
Facing the guns of the Japanese agents, Wang Xinmin and the carriage driver did not dare to resist and stood obediently.
Two Japanese agents came forward and searched Wang Xinmin and the coachman respectively.
Wang Xinmin asked: "Who are you?"
He did not hear the Japanese agent's answer, but heard the coachman scream. When he turned around, he saw the Japanese agent inserting a dagger into the coachman's heart, and then kicked him to the ground.
Wang Xinmin was very angry and said: "Who are you, and why do you kill people so casually?"
The two Japanese agents ignored him and walked up to him without any explanation. They tied him up, put a towel in his mouth, and covered his eyes with black cloth. Then his body was dragged around several times.
I couldn't tell the direction at all. Then I was pushed up the hillside.
At this time, Wang Xinmin felt a little regretful. Not only did he not figure out Shimizu Kazuo's secret, he was arrested instead.
During this period, Hirata hid aside and did not show up. Seeing that the agents had captured Wang Xinmin, he looked around again and saw that no one was following him, so he came to report to Kazuo Shimizu.
Kazuo Shimizu was very worried that Wang Xinmin was related to this matter, so he asked his agents to interrogate Wang Xinmin, while he hid aside and listened.
After Wang Xinmin was arrested, he felt very nervous. He was a little panicked at first.
At this time, he remembered what Xu Dalong told him: he must be calm when encountering trouble, especially when encountering danger, he must try to save his own life first.
He thought of his dear lover Su Xiaoyan again, and tried hard to warn himself to be calm and calm.
As he walked, he thought about countermeasures, and gradually got some clues in his mind, and gradually calmed down.
A Japanese agent asked: "What are you doing here?"
Wang Xinmin said: "I came here with Dr. Hirata from our clinic. I haven't seen Teacher Shimizu for several days. Now that the war is in chaos, I am worried that something will happen to him. Seeing Dr. Hirata's panic,
I guess it has something to do with Mr. Shimizu.
I was worried about Teacher Qingshui’s safety, so I followed him.”
A Japanese agent said: "You are talking nonsense. You work in the same clinic as Dr. Hirata, why would you suspect that he is unfavorable to Mr. Shimizu?"
Wang Xinmin said: "I usually don't have a good relationship with Dr. Hirata. I always feel that he acts a little sneakily. I am worried that he will be harmful to Teacher Qingshui."
When Yuji Hirata heard this, he felt angry. He looked at Kazuo Shimizu and signaled that he was going to confront Wang Xinmin.
Kazuo Shimizu knew that Wang Xinmin came with Yuji Hirata, and Yuji Hirata had no need to hide it.
So he nodded and motioned for him to interrogate Wang Xinmin.
Hirata Yuuji stepped forward and cursed: "Baigaru, you are talking nonsense. I have always respected Mr. Shimizu, how could I harm him? It is obvious that you have bad intentions and have some agenda. To be honest, what are you doing?
What are you doing? Are you targeting Mr. Qingshui?"
Wang Xinmin said: "You are talking nonsense. Teacher Qingshui is my mentor, and I regard him as my elder. I followed him precisely because I was concerned about his safety and worried that you would be detrimental to Teacher Qingshui. I can have
What's the plot? If there is one, it should be you. Otherwise, why did you sneak up to this mountain?"
When Kazuo Shimizu heard what Wang Xinmin said so plausibly, he couldn't tell whether what Wang Xinmin said was true or false. He had always seen Wang Xinmin's respect for him, especially the last time he and Wang Xinmin were raped by the underground party.
The anti-Japanese armed forces captured him, but Wang Xinmin risked his life to save him.
Besides, since Wang Xinmin has been by his side for such a long time, there is indeed nothing suspicious. He somewhat trusts Wang Xinmin.
He is also a veteran spy. Based on his experience, Wang Xinmin would not have followed Yuji Hirata over alone if it were not for his concern for himself.
Wang Xinmin's actions clearly showed that he had no experience as an agent, and since he had been by his side for so many years, he should have had no chance of colluding with the anti-Japanese elements.
Kazuo Shimizu is a cautious person with a very cruel heart. He is not in love with Wang Xinmin. If Wang Xinmin has the slightest suspicion, Kazuo Shimizu will kill him without hesitation.
Now he also saw that there was no one else following Wang Xinmin, and the Japanese army was about to arrive, so Wang Xinmin did not pose any threat to his affairs.
So he decided to keep Wang Xinmin temporarily and look for opportunities to slowly examine him later.
After Kazuo Shimizu made his decision, just as Yuji Hirata signaled, he should ignore Wang Xinmin for the time being and find a place to imprison him first.
Wang Xinmin knew very well that Shimizu Kazuo was nearby, so he showed his loyalty to Shimizu Kazuo passionately.
He was slightly relieved when he saw that the agents had not done anything dirty to him. However, he was in a very bad mood at this time and deeply regretted his reckless behavior.
Kazuo Shimizu kept looking at his watch, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the large Japanese army.
At this time, an agent on guard duty on the top of the mountain made a vigorous gesture to Shimizu Kazuo, indicating that the large Japanese army had arrived.
Kazuo Shimizu was very happy and climbed up the hillside, waving to the approaching Japanese troops.
Soon after, the captain of the Japanese army came over, saluted Kazuo Shimizu very respectfully, and said: "Your Excellency, Mr. Watanabe Nobunaga, who is of humble rank, has been ordered to lead the troops to report to you and obey your orders."
Kazuo Shimizu nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Watanabe. You should immediately order the troops to set up security around Cuiyun Peak."
"Haha." Watanabe Nobunaga agreed and sent troops to surround Cuiyun Peak.
Subsequently, Shimizu Kazuo asked Captain Watanabe to send a squadron of troops, led by a middle-aged man, to launch a search for Cuiyun Peak.
Around Cuiyun Peak, Xu Dalong and others have also been monitoring the movements of the Japanese troops.
Seeing that they surrounded Cuiyun Peak, this meant that what they were looking for should be on Cuiyun Peak.
Xu Dalong was very happy and ordered Sun Desheng, Wei Monk and Wang Pao to surround the Japanese troops who surrounded Cuiyun Peak from all sides.
