As a police inspector, Lu Chengzhou naturally had to actively cooperate with the operations of the military police unit.
Nakayama Ryoichi is now a consultant to the police force, and Lu Chengzhou has become famous by cooperating with the operations of the gendarmerie detachment.
Besides, Lu Chengzhou was Liu Lifeng's secret agent. He did something for the military police unit, and Liu Lifeng wouldn't say much.
Lu Chengzhou's mission is to strengthen the protection of the military police unit.
At the same time, patrols were strengthened within his jurisdiction to prevent Wei Daguang's team from jumping in.
Wei Daguang threatened not only to get rid of Sakai, but also Nozaki.
Sakai has been eliminated. If Nozaki still dies in the hands of the guerrillas, the military police from top to bottom will have no shame in living anymore.
As for the search and arrest tasks, the police department and the gendarmerie detachment cooperate.
Sakai died in the British Concession, giving the Japanese reason to act in the Concession.
As Wuhan and Guangzhou fell one after another, the Japanese became more rampant. They felt that the Chongqing government would soon negotiate peace with them, and they could hold at least half of China's land in their hands.
"The Chinese Communist Party also plans to carry out a sabotage activity in the city to attract our attention." Kawasaki Hiroshi said suddenly.
"It's not a strike, is it?" Lu Chengzhou frowned.
The city committee had long planned to take action at the No. 6 Gongda Factory. Among the workers at the No. 6 Gongda Factory, there were many anti-Japanese activists who were willing to participate in the war of resistance, but they had no leader.
"Can a strike attract our attention? I think it might be a riot." Jin Timing said suddenly.
"With the CCP's courage, they don't dare to riot in the city. This is where the imperial army is stationed!" Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
"Perhaps, we'll know in a few days." Kawasaki Hiroshi said slowly.
Without further information, he didn't know what to expect.
But one thing is certain, it must be some act of sabotage.
As soon as Hiroshi Kawasaki finished speaking, the director of the telecommunications office, Toshio Okachi, hurried in with a telegram.
"idiot!"
Kawasaki Hiroshi glanced at the telegram and slapped the table angrily.
Just now, a fire suddenly broke out in the warehouse No. 1 of the 6th Factory of the OUHK.
Thinking of the information about the profits made at night, Kawasaki Hiro concluded that this must be the work of the Chinese Communist Party.
Why do these hateful saboteurs have to fight against the imperial army?
Lu Chengzhou did not expect that the Haigu City Committee would act so quickly.
Wei Daguang left Haigu in the evening. The city committee held a meeting in the evening, and someone revealed the contents of the meeting.
But the city committee was not slow to act. It was just twelve o'clock, and the fire in the Sixth Factory of the Public University had already started.
Raw cotton is flammable, and the fire-fighting facilities were destroyed in advance. There was no way to effectively put out the fire. We could only watch helplessly as the fire grew bigger and bigger.
This case was directly related to the arrest of Wei Daguang. Kawasaki Hiro led the military police detachment to the Sixth Factory of the OUHK overnight.
A few miles away, Lu Chengzhou saw that the night sky was burning red, with flames soaring into the sky and thick smoke billowing, and the car could only stop far away.
At this time, there were no workers in the No. 6 Factory of Gongda, and there were only a few people in the warehouse who wanted to put out the fire.
But the fire was so strong that they couldn't get close.
"Why did it burn so fast?" Jin Timing and Lu Chengzhou were in the same car.
Sakai's car was blown up, leaving the military police unit with only a car and a truck.
"Just a little spark will burn everything down. I don't think we can save the fire." Lu Chengzhou took out his cigarette. He was still more than a hundred meters away from the Sixth Factory of the OUHK when he felt the heat wave approaching.
It was originally very cold at night, but here it is as warm as spring.
Looking at the fire, Lu Chengzhou was in a good mood.
"Chengzhou, do you think the CCP's actions tonight are strange?" Jin Timing said thoughtfully.
He looked at the raging fire not far away and didn't know what he was thinking.
He is now on the same level as Lu Chengzhou, so the phrase "Chengzhou" is completely fine.
"Didn't Section Chief Kawasaki say that this is a tactic used by the CCP to divert attention? Instructor Jin, will Wei Daguang slip away tonight?" Lu Chengzhou asked suddenly.
"All the passages are blocked by us, how can he get out?" Jin Timing said with a sneer.
"What if we go by water?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly said, "No, I have to report it quickly."
The Haihe River flows from the northwest to the southeast of Haigu, diagonally cutting Haigu into two large pieces, which is why it is called "Hebei" and "Hedong".
Haigu often says "Hebei", which does not refer to Hebei Province, but to the north of Haihe River.
The concessions in Haigu are almost all on both sides of the Haihe River. For example, the Japanese, French, and British concessions are to the southwest of the river, while the Italian, Old Russian, and Old Belgian concessions are to the east of the river.
Lu Chengzhou left Jin Timing behind and immediately found Kawasaki Hiroshi and told him his concerns.
"Go by water? But we have set up defenses at Kongang Bridge and Jintang Bridge. No ship can even think of passing by." Kawasaki Hiroshi frowned.
"The CCP is very cunning. We can't block the river forever, can we?" Lu Chengzhou asked anxiously.
It's okay to block the river at night, but it's not okay to block it during the day.
After all, there are so many people who depend on the Haihe River for their livelihood.
"This is a problem." Kawasaki Hiroshi said slowly.
Tonight, we can block the river, but what about tomorrow? There are so many boats on the Haihe River every day. Even if every boat is inspected, there will always be fish that slip through the net.
"Chief Kawasaki, the arsonist must have escaped. I think we should return to our posts at this time and not fall into the CCP's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
He wanted to give Hiroshi Kawasaki the illusion that the arsonist had nothing to do with the Sixth Factory of the OUHK.
In fact, Lu Chengzhou also thought of this issue in his plan.
If the underground party wants to set a fire, the safety of the relevant personnel must be protected.
It would be best for the personnel involved in this operation to leave temporarily for a while, and it would be better if they could go to the base area.
After all, thousands of bales of raw cotton are of very high value.
"Without internal support, the CCP will definitely not be able to succeed." Kawasaki Hiroshi shook his head.
This is the warehouse of the Sixth Factory of the Public University. Unlike the military commanders who set fire to the warehouse in the past, they only need to throw the source of the fire in.
It is easy to set a warehouse on fire, but it is relatively easy to put out a fire.
But it is difficult to set fire to a warehouse. Without internal response, the arsonist will not be able to get in.
Moreover, firefighting is more troublesome. Even if the firefighting facilities are not damaged, such a fire is basically impossible to save.
Kawasaki Hiroshi came to the No. 6 Factory of the Open University, naturally not to put out fires.
He found the boss of the No. 6 Gongda Factory and took away all the workers related to the warehouse.
Lu Chengzhou didn't know if any of these people were comrades from the underground party.
But after returning home, he immediately wrote down the situation as intelligence and put it in the dead mailbox on Road 25.
The Japanese were furious. Lu Chengzhou estimated that the people who were captured into the gendarmerie were in danger.
ps: It’s the end of the year and there are so many activities, so I guess I’ll have to reduce my intake in these two days.
