Sato told Zhang Cong that a group of prisoners from the gendarmerie would be taken to the execution ground outside the city and executed by firing squad. The gendarmerie decided to send someone from the detective team to take charge.
In order to show Huang Jun's majesty, Sato asked Zhang Cong to change into Huang Jun's uniforms.
On the surface, Zhang Cong nodded and bowed, looking flattered, and vowed to live up to Captain Sato's cultivation, but in his heart he cursed: "These little devils are all beasts."
He admired Xu Dalong very much now. Everything was under Xu Dalong's control. Even the little Japs were right about asking the detective team members to put on Japanese military uniforms before escorting the prisoners.
Facing such powerful people, Zhang Cong no longer had the slightest intention to resist. Especially since the little devils did not regard them as human beings and wanted to treat them as scapegoats, Zhang Cong was even more determined to rebel against the Japanese invaders and join the Eighth Route Army.
At 9 o'clock in the morning that day, a prison van drove out from the gate of the gendarmerie compound. Behind the prison van was a Japanese military vehicle with eight Japanese soldiers standing on it.
In the cab of the prison car, Zhang Cong held a loaded rifle in his hand and looked at both sides of the street from the car window. He was very nervous at this time. According to Sato's request, the prison car and the escort vehicles should move along Dongjiang Road.
Driving west, the Japanese troops had already set up ambush on both sides of the road. However, they did not ambush directly on both sides of the street, but in a building more than 100 meters away from the street.
Both sides of the street were reserved for Xu Dalong and others. The Japanese army hoped that Xu Dalong and others could intercept the prison cars on both sides of the street, and the Japanese army set up an encirclement outside. In order to prevent Xu Dalong and others from escaping, the Japanese army used more than 80 military policemen from the gendarmerie, as well as ambushes.
A reinforced infantry squadron of the Japanese army was mobilized. In addition, some troops were also mobilized to set up a blockade within a larger area.
Tanaka Ping and Sato were responsible for setting up the ambush. Of course, Sato did not tell Zhang Cong about these arrangements, but Tanaka Ping passed the news to Zhang Cong through Xu Dalong.
Zhang Cong also pretended not to know, pulled people from the detective team, put on Japanese military uniforms, and escorted the prisoners to the execution ground in the west of the city.
The prison car came out from the gate of the Military Police Brigade compound to Dongjiang Road, which is about 240 meters away. According to Sato's request, the prison car arrived at the intersection of Hengshan Road and Zhongjiang Road, and entered Dongjiang Road westward.
The Japanese army was expected to be at this 240-meter section, and Xu Dalong and others would not hijack the prison car. After all, it was too close to the Japanese military police, so the Japanese army did not set up an ambush here.
We were about to reach the intersection in front of us. Zhang Cong ordered the driver to continue driving along Hengshan Road instead of turning west to Dongjiang Road as Sato asked.
Sato was also very careful in his work and set up a surveillance post near the intersection of Dongjiang Road and Hengshan Road. When the surveillance post saw that the prison car did not drive onto Dongjiang Road, he felt that something was wrong and hurriedly called Sato to report.
Zhang Cong directed the prison car to drive forward along Hengshan Road. He kept urging the driver to speed up. When the car reached the next intersection, he ordered the driver to turn east onto Yuanping North Road. The people following the prison car
The truck responsible for escorting the prison car did not know the real destination in advance. When it saw the prison car moving forward, it followed it.
When the prison van arrived at the entrance of the Zhengzhou Grand Theater, Zhang Cong ordered the driver to stop. After the prison van stopped, the truck behind it also stopped.
At this moment, the special operations team members scattered around rushed over. These people were also wearing Japanese military uniforms and quickly surrounded the prison car and the truck behind it.
The detectives disguised as Japanese soldiers didn't know what was going on. When they saw the dark muzzles and shining bayonets of the special operations team members, they all raised their hands and kept explaining their true identities. Special Operations
The team members were naturally unmoved and went up to hand over their guns.
Zhang Cong jumped out of the prison car, came to the back door of the prison car, and patted the door hard. When the people in the car saw it was Zhang Cong, they opened the door. There were two detectives in the prison car, and Zhang Cong ordered them to get out of the car.
The special operations team came forward and disarmed them.
The special operations team members quickly helped the prisoners off the prison truck, and then got into a tarpaulin-covered truck that was parked nearby. The truck quickly drove away.
The special forces team members locked all the detective team members in the prison car. Zhang Cong said to them: "Brothers, Mr. Zhang has defected to the Eighth Route Army. For the sake of working together in the past, I will spare your lives today."
From now on, you must not harm the people, otherwise, I will be rude to you when Laozi comes back." After saying that, he closed the car door firmly and locked it outside.
The special team members and Zhang Cong got into another truck and left quickly.
Sato received a report from his subordinates that the prison car did not drive to Dongjiang Road as planned, but continued to drive along Hengshan Road. He realized that something was wrong and was shocked.
While he sent people to notify the Japanese troops lying in ambush around him to intercept, he reported the situation to Tanaka Ping.
Tan Zhongping has always been worried that there will be mistakes in the actions of Xu Dalong and others. If Xu Dalong and others fall into the hands of the Japanese army, there is no guarantee that they will not confess themselves.
When he saw that Xu Dalong and others had taken action according to the original plan, his heart immediately calmed down. Of course, facing the anxious Sato, he also pretended to be very panicked and asked Sato to organize an interception immediately, and then he hurriedly
Came over.
When the Japanese army found the prison car, they saw that there were no detectives disguised as Japanese soldiers on the escort truck, so they knew something had happened. When they saw the detectives calling for help through the windows of the prison car, they smashed them.
He unlocked the car door and released the imprisoned detective team members.
The detective team members all insisted that the people in the prison car were abducted by their captain Zhang Cong and a group of people disguised as Japanese soldiers.
Sato secretly complained in his heart and was extremely angry. He scolded Zhang Cong for cheating and betraying Huang Jun and joining the Eighth Route Army.
Hearing this, Tanakahei also looked very helpless and angry. He looked at Sato with reproachful eyes, obviously thinking that Sato should bear the main responsibility for this matter.
After all, Zhang Cong is Sato's subordinate, and his position as the detective captain is very important. Sato didn't know who he was, so he let the Eighth Route Army sneak in, ruined the Japanese plan at this critical moment, and rescued the prisoner.
Sato knew he was wrong, and frantically directed the Japanese army to search, hoping to catch the abducted prisoners. It would be best to catch Xu Dalong, who had come to take the hostages, so that he could atone for his crimes.
However, they kept struggling for several hours. Not to mention catching Xu Dalong, even the prisoners seemed to have evaporated and completely lost their traces.
Sato was extremely discouraged and looked very frustrated. Tanakaping comforted him and said that he was willing to take responsibility with him and go to the Commander of Minato Village to plead guilty.
Sato was very grateful for Tanakahira's attitude, and followed Tanakahira to Minato's office dejectedly.
To use the prison car to set up a trap to arrest Xu Dalong, the plan was drawn up by Tanaka Ping. The person specifically responsible for executing it was Gendarmerie Captain Sato. Sato was the first to arrive at the scene, so he could only tell the ins and outs of the matter to Minato.
report.
The more he listened, the more solemn Gangcun's face became, and he gradually became a little ferocious. He had great hopes for arresting Xu Dalong, and he had spent a lot of effort on this matter during this period. Who would have thought that it would be such a person?
As a result, it was impossible to steal the chicken, but also lost the rice.
He stared with blood-red eyes and was about to run away.
In order to appease Minato's emotions, Tanakahei took the initiative to take responsibility and asked the commander of Minato to punish him.
Sato was deeply moved by Yamanakahira's attitude, and he quickly stated that he bore the main responsibility.
Minato has understood the whole story. In his mind, the plan formulated by Tanakahei is still perfect. However, when things collapsed to this point, the main responsibility lies in Sato's ignorance of people, improper employment of people, and the failure of Eighth Route Army.
The loophole slapped the Military Police Headquarters in the face, and of course it also slapped Minato Village hard in the face.
Tanaka Hei and Sato's behavior of taking responsibility in front of him was like child's play in his eyes. Not only did it not calm his anger, but it made him even more annoyed.
He loudly reprimanded Tanaka Hei and Sato. The training was too urgent and he felt it was not enough, so he slapped them hard.
However, in his mind, the main problem in this matter was Sato, so he only slapped Sato with his big ear scraper. He kept beating his hands until they were numb.
Sato's face was hit so many times that his back molars were loosened, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his face was as swollen as a red head.
When things reached this point, Tanaka Ping was secretly proud. The entire action plan was completed very smoothly. He helped Xu Dalong complete the rescue mission, and he was not suspected by the Japanese army.
This incident also deepened Commander Minato's impression of him. At least from Commander Minato's point of view, Tanaka Taira was still a malleable talent, and his position as Chief of the Super High School Division would not be shaken.
Through this incident, Tanakahei also won Sato's gratitude to him. Therefore, his life in the Japanese Military Police Headquarters will be even easier in the future. However, he still has some worries, that is, if Kobayashi Shinichi can return to
The Military Police Headquarters will still cause some trouble for itself.
Although Xu Dalong had promised him that he would never let Xiao Linxin appear at the Military Police Headquarters again, but so far, Xu Dalong has not given him an accurate message. This inevitably made him feel a little uneasy.
After leaving Minato's office, Tanakahei personally accompanied Sato to the Army Hospital in the city, comforted him, and left alone.
He found a public phone and reported to Xu Dalong the current movements of the Japanese army.
Xu Dalong also told him good news. The special operations team members discovered Shinichi Kobayashi at the Car and Horse Shop outside Zhengzhou and shot him to death on the spot, completely eliminating Tanaka Ping's worries.
Xu Dalong told Tian Zhongping that in order for him to secure his position as super high school section chief, the Eighth Route Army would not contact him in the short term.
Tanaka Ping felt completely relieved. He was in a high mood and went to the Japanese Residents Quarter to take a long hot bath.
