Who is Cheng Xiao? He could tell what Wang Ping was thinking at a glance, and then interrupted directly: "Captain, no matter what you say, I don't agree with you entering the city!"
Wang Ping frowned for a moment, and then thought for a minute before compromising: "Okay, I won't go to the city! But it's definitely not possible to conduct the command here. It's too far away from the county seat, and our radio station is limited. It's impossible to
Make an accurate judgment on the action at once. I request that the headquarters be built near Laiyuan City and command from a close location!"
The group leader even regressed. Cheng Xiao certainly couldn't hold on and refused to let go, so he finally agreed.
Then he directly called the guard company commander Zhong Yusheng to the headquarters and told him to protect Wang Ping.
It was already dark when we arrived outside Laiyuan City.
The intelligence agent who went out of the city to meet him was directly brought to Wang Ping by the investigation platoon leader Chen Hu.
"Report to the chief, Laiyuan City intelligence officer Zhou Zheng has been ordered to report!"
"Hello, Comrade Zhou, your superiors should have told you the purpose of my coming here. In order to avoid any accidents, I just want to enter the city tonight!" Wang Ping did not hesitate and directly stated his request!
"This?" Zhou Zheng had a hesitant expression on his face.
"Is there any difficulty? Comrade Zhou Zheng!" Wang Ping asked with a frown.
"It really does!" Zhou Zheng did not hesitate.
"Since the last successful night raid on Laiyuan by the Independent Regiment, the Japanese have further strengthened patrols and protection of Laiyuan City at night. The number of garrison guards on duty at the four city gates has increased from one company of the Imperial Association Army to two companies, and there are also
A small group of Japanese soldiers supervise the formation. In addition, there is an infantry group of Japanese troops in each direction, taking combat units as units, to conduct continuous patrols on the garrison at the top of the city to prevent the puppet troops from being lazy!"
"It can be said that the current Laiyuan City is run by the Japanese like an iron wall, and the defense is very tight!"
"What I mean is that the leader will have a good rest outside tonight. During the day tomorrow, we will change into ordinary people's clothes and sneak into Laiyuan City with the people!"
"In this case, weapons will not be able to enter Laiyuan City!" Wang Ping stared at Zhou Zheng and asked.
"Yes, the Japanese and puppet troops are very strict. Even pistols cannot be brought in!" Zhou Zheng affirmed.
"Then we will enter the city tomorrow. The guard company will stay outside the city to provide support. The reconnaissance platoon and I will enter the city empty-handed!" Wang Ping made a decision immediately.
"No! Commander, the political commissar specifically told me that we must protect you and you must not enter the city!" Zhong Yusheng, the guard company commander, suddenly appeared and objected.
"I have to go in!" Wang Ping left no room for negotiation.
"When you get back, tell the political commissar that I insisted on going in and you can't stop me. Then you can give the political commissar an explanation. After all, I am the leader of the independent regiment. I have the final say in commanding the war. The worst will happen after I go back.
Get punished!"
After all, Zhong Yusheng was just a company commander. No matter how many reasons he gave, they could not be worth a word from the commander Wang Ping. In the end, he could only retreat and ask for the next best thing: "Then I have to go in to protect your safety."
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "I am protected by the reconnaissance platoon, and your guard company has more important tasks!"
"After we complete our mission, whether we can successfully leave the city depends on your security company. Therefore, the security company must stay outside the city, and you must stay outside the city. With you in the security company, I can rest assured!"
The Japanese and puppet troops strictly interrogated people entering the city, but in order to ensure the stability of Laiyuan City and not arouse public anger, they did not prevent people from entering and exiting.
Because Wang Ping and the reconnaissance platoon did not carry any weapons and were dressed like ordinary people, they easily passed the interrogation of the Japanese and puppet troops and entered Laiyuan City.
Although it was built as a military town by the Japanese, Laiyuan City is, after all, the only county town within a radius of nearly a hundred miles. Many things that ordinary people need can only be purchased here. At a glance, Laiyuan City is still very prosperous and lively.
Everywhere is filled with ordinary people going into the city to buy things, and various shops are located next to each other, making it very lively.
Wang Ping was not in the mood to go shopping and went directly into several intelligence points hidden by the Eighth Route Army in Laiyuan City.
"Hello, Chief!" As soon as he entered the backyard, Wang Ping was warmly welcomed by several intelligence agents.
"Now that you're here, we have a backbone, don't worry! Ever since Secretary Zhang was arrested and the two traitors arrested people everywhere in the city, the few remaining intelligence agents we have are all too scared to go out for activities. Now you're here
, we are relieved!”
"Then let's keep the story short and introduce the situation to me!" Wang Ping asked directly.
Soon, Wang Ping knew a general situation.
The Secretary Zhang and several intelligence agents they mentioned were all imprisoned in the Gendarmerie by the Japanese, and were personally guarded by the Japanese. The two traitors were followed by seven or eight members of the detective team when they came and went, and there were also four Japanese who followed them to protect their safety.
.
As for the headquarters of the detective team and the Japanese intelligence office, the security was much tighter than Wang Ping imagined.
Many people in the detective team are Japanese agents, and the team members are all traitors who have really worked hard for the Japanese, and have been trained by the Japanese.
Although there are not many people, they are very powerful in combat, and the equipment is very good. Each person has a short gun, which is very suitable for close combat.
The importance of the Intelligence Department to the Japanese army is self-evident. An infantry squadron has always been stationed and patrolled 24 hours a day.
The Japanese gendarmerie was in the prison. The gendarmerie had a small number of people. The total strength was only two infantry squadrons with about 300 people. But these Japanese soldiers were all veterans of the army and the real elite. Although the gendarmerie guarding the prison only had two squads of about a hundred people,
But the prison is still as strong as a copper wall.
Anyway, so far, although the gendarmerie prison has been attacked many times, it has never been breached. Moreover, those who attacked the gendarmerie prison were eventually surrounded and eliminated by the Japanese army!
"The situation is terrible! Comrades!" After hearing the introduction, even Wang Ping, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but sigh.
After thinking for five minutes, he said: "Do those two traitors usually join the detective team? They are the greatest threat to us. We should pick the weak ones and kill them first!"
"Come out, but each time you come out it doesn't last long, and you bring a lot of people with you, and there are Japanese soldiers to protect them!" the middle-aged man who is temporarily in charge of the Laiyuan City Intelligence Network replied.
"Also, the Japs have stationed thousands of people in the county. There are garrisons everywhere. As long as a gun is fired in one place, Japs reinforcements will arrive in five minutes at most!"
Wang Ping immediately reacted: "I understand what you mean. Even if we succeed in the assassination outside, it will be difficult for the assassin to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese reinforcements!"
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Responsible replied immediately.
