The old man of the Zheng family saw Yang Ling and the others returning, and there were two Japanese spies who were tied up in the team.
The old man from the Zheng family, who was feeling guilty, turned around and tried to escape with his crutches before Yang Ling and the others approached.
"Catch them all!"
Yang Ling shouted loudly, and Captain Wang Huzi and his wolf-like brothers rushed forward like an arrow from a string.
Yang Ling and his brothers were all those who had killed the Japs on the battlefield, and they had a blood feud with the Japs. Now that they saw that the Zheng family was actually colluding with the Japs, how could they bear such a tone.
The brothers, who were armed with live ammunition, were arresting people everywhere in the Zheng family compound. For a while, the Zheng family members were running around, shouting and screaming, and it was chaos.
"Don't move!"
Several members of the Zheng family hurriedly tried to escape through the back door, but as soon as they stepped out, they were hit by a black gun muzzle on their head. They were so frightened that their knees became weak and they knelt down immediately.
Since Yang Ling was out to arrest people, how could he miss such important points as the back door? Soon, all the more than 30 members of the Zheng family were herded into the front yard.
The old man of the Zheng family was being pointed at a gun by an angry brother. His face was as white as paper, his body was shaking like chaff, and he was so frightened that he could not speak.
After taking control of the Zheng family, Yang Ling immediately sent Wang Huzi to lead people to the town office and the militia station to arrest the two sons of the Zheng family. Now he would rather arrest one by mistake than let one go.
"Hu Zi——"
"have!"
"You go back and report the situation to the group now. I'll wait for news here."
After receiving the order, Huzi turned around and walked out of the gate, trotting towards the regiment's headquarters.
Not long after, gunshots were heard from the direction of the militia's headquarters. Yang Ling asked a platoon leader to guard the Zheng family, and he led his men quickly toward the direction of the militia for reinforcements.
When Yang Ling rushed to the militia station, Captain Wang Huzi, the company commander, had already taken control of the situation, and several bloody corpses were dragged out.
Yang Ling stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Beard put the rifle back into its holster, pointed at the corpses and said, "They shot at us when they were arresting people, and we killed them."
"Where is Zheng Youcai?" Yang Ling asked about the second son of the Zheng family and the leader of the militia group.
"He was also beaten to death, the one in the black coat was him."
Yang Ling followed Wang Huzi's hand and saw that Zheng Youcai, who was wearing a black coat, had a few bloody holes in his chest. Black blood was gushing out. He stared with dead eyes, full of unwillingness.
Looking at the few people who were beaten to death, Yang Ling didn't care. If they were sitting upright, how could they resist arrest? He ordered the bodies to be taken care of for further disposal.
Although there were more than a hundred members in the militia, most of them were farmers and hunters recruited from the town. They did not have much connection with the Zheng family. They were too frightened to move when the gunshots were fired, so no arrests were made.
cause interference.
"Report!" A squad leader hurried over from a distance.
"Regiment deputy, Zheng Youguo ran away, but we didn't catch him."
Hearing that the brother who went to arrest the eldest son of the Zheng family failed, Wang Huzi immediately cursed: "What do you do for food! Even if you arrest someone, you can make them run away..."
Yang Ling waved his hand and said: "Give me an order to immediately block the roads out of the town and into the mountains, and ask the blacksmith to lead people into the town to search for him."
"Yes!" The squad leader who failed to complete the task responded and turned around and left.
The regiment leader Zhang Handuo originally just asked Yang Ling to investigate, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish that was a collaborator. On the one hand, he called the brigade headquarters to report it, and on the other hand, he started an interrogation on the spot.
After experiencing the initial panic, the old man of the Zheng family calmed down and never cooperated with the interrogation. Instead, he complained that someone was framing them.
Seeing that the old man of the Zheng family would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, when Yang Ling and others took out the information they collected from the Zheng family about the 74th Department stationed in De'an, the expression of the old man of the Zheng family finally changed.
"If you tell me honestly, you may be able to atone for your sins. Otherwise, your Zheng family may really have no descendants this time." Yang Ling said in a stern voice.
Faced with a mountain of irrefutable evidence, Mrs. Zheng's psychological defense finally collapsed, and he complained with tears and snot: "This is all done by this old man alone, and has nothing to do with the rest of the Zheng family. Please forgive Yang Changguan..."
.”
"Whether we can be more liberal depends on your explanation of the situation. Tell me, how did you surrender to the enemy and betray the country?"
"I was confused for a while," Mrs. Zheng said with a regretful look: "They gave me 20,000 silver dollars, just to ask me to pay more attention to the situation of your troops. I was obsessed with money, so I agreed. Later, they asked me to do more.
More, if I didn’t agree, they threatened me to publish what I had done before..."
Looking at the heartbroken old man of the Zheng family, Yang Ling and the others had no mercy in their hearts. They were betraying the country for a small profit.
Once this information about their troops falls into the hands of the Japanese, the Japanese will know everything about them. Once a war breaks out, it may cause huge casualties.
So they can't wait to get rid of these traitors who are now regretful.
Yang Ling and the others brought down the Zheng family, who were collaborators with the enemy and the country, and the results of the interrogation were shocking. Just when Yang Ling was about to continue following the clues, the leader of the group, Zhang Handuo, sent someone to call Yang Ling over.
In the regiment headquarters, Yang Ling saw a strange officer wearing the rank of major.
"Chief Feng, this is Deputy Commander Yang of our regiment." Zhang Handuo enthusiastically introduced Yang Ling to the unfamiliar major.
The unfamiliar major stretched out his hand and said in a humble and condescending manner: "Deputy Yang has long admired your name. I am Feng Yaohui from the Bureau of Statistics and Investigation of the Central Military Commission."
"Hello." Yang Ling also extended his hand to shake hands with the major.
"Brother Yang, we don't need to worry about the Zheng family's affairs. Let's hand them over to Section Chief Feng and the others."
Although Yang Ling wanted to follow the lead and wipe out the network of traitors and enemy agents in this area, he thought that Feng Yaohui and others in the military command were specialized in this and were more professional than him, so he nodded and agreed.
"Chief Feng, I have prepared some food and wine. How about we chat while we eat?" Zhang Handuo, the team leader, politely invited Chief Feng to dinner.
The military commander, Section Chief Feng Yaohui, was also a shrewd and capable man. He didn't want to waste time, so he waved his hand and said, "Captain Zhang, wait until you finish dealing with the Zheng family's affairs."
"Chief Feng is really conscientious of his duties. Well, let's deal with the Zheng family's affairs first and then eat." Zhang Handuo told Yang Ling: "Brother Yang, then you and Section Chief Feng will take over."
Yang Ling nodded, and then handed over all the information he learned during the interrogation to Feng Yaohui, the military commander, and they took over the entire investigation.
The military commander, Section Chief Feng Yaohui, was also a very resolute person. He didn't hesitate at all after taking over, and immediately started investigating and collecting evidence.
In just a few days, people from the Bureau of Statistics and Investigation were dispatched in all directions, causing chaos around De'an for a while, but the effect was also significant.
The people from the Investigation Bureau followed the clues and used the Zheng family as a breakthrough point to catch all the traitors and enemy agents bribed by the Japanese spies in the De'an area. They arrested more than fifty people and seized an important piece of intelligence.
In order to achieve the purpose of killing chickens to scare monkeys, more than 50 traitors and enemy agents were captured. People from the Statistics and Investigation Bureau gathered people to watch the executions and shot them in public.
"The people from the Bureau of Statistics and Investigation are so ruthless, they kill people without batting an eyelid."
Seeing those traitors who were beaten to pieces and their heads blown off one by one, the officers watching the execution could not help but tremble in their facial muscles. This was really a killing without blinking an eye.
"That's what they deserve! It's easy to shoot them. In my opinion, you have to let them live in a pig cage and make their lives worse than death!" Some officers said viciously.
