In the early morning of January 13, 1941, the Fourth Regiment entered the encirclement of the Thirteenth Regiment as scheduled. Bao Sanmu led seven companies and attacked the Fourth Regiment head-on. Except for Li Ruqin, the commander of the Fourth Regiment, and several others, the entire Fourth Regiment was wiped out.
Li Ruqin was also injured. The horse he was riding was frightened and fell off him, breaking his leg.
In the afternoon, the Third Army Headquarters and the Fifth Regiment arrived for reinforcements. Bao Sanmu, who had received the information in advance, once again led his men to defeat more than 2,000 men of the Third Army.
The combat effectiveness of the third group army was so low that even Bao Sanmu did not expect it.
The Third Army does not seem to be here for mopping up, but rather like it is here to deliver equipment.
Of course, the main reason why we were able to achieve such a great victory this time was because we received accurate information about the Third Army in advance.
In this battle, the Thirteenth Regiment captured mountain artillery, 6 mortars, 26 light and heavy machine guns, more than 700 long and short guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and a radio station. It can be said that the results are unprecedented.
After the Guoheyan battle, the organization immediately sent the information back to Haigu.
After Lu Chengzhou learned this information, he immediately made arrangements.
The next day, the secret signal on Route 26, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared.
When he was in the military police unit, Lu Chengzhou always arranged for Zhao Bin to monitor him here.
However, after the Intelligence Room took over the police department, Zhao Bin was already the captain of the security brigade.
Naturally, Zhao Bin can no longer carry out such a surveillance mission.
The police department now has a special section, and Zhang Guanglin is in charge of this matter.
Lu Chengzhou had previously told him to send someone to keep an eye on it.
Therefore, Lu Chengzhou also immediately learned about the Haigu underground party and there was new news.
Lu Chengzhou rushed to No. 57 Wenqi Road as soon as possible.
Although the Military Police Division has taken over the police station, Hiroshi Kawasaki has been working at No. 57 Wenqi Road.
Although Lu Chengzhou left Clay Senqi's original office to him, Kawasaki Hiroshi rarely went there.
"Teacher, there is movement on Route 26." Lu Chengzhou said excitedly.
"No one was caught, right?" Kawasaki Hiroshi said with some dissatisfaction.
"Yes." Lu Chengzhou lowered his head in shame.
He is thinking of ways to do this.
Lu Chengzhou was happy to see Kawasaki Hiro see the information in the dead mailbox.
However, someone must deliver the information in the dead mailbox, and someone must draw the code on the telephone pole.
If it wasn't the person watching on the opposite side of the telephone pole but Lu Chengzhou sent here, it would indeed be possible to be discovered.
Lu Chengzhou actually realized that if he continued like this, he would probably burn himself with fire.
"The information is not lost, right?" Hiroshi Kawasaki asked calmly.
"The intelligence has been copied down, teacher. As expected, there are underground parties in the Third Army." Lu Chengzhou took out a piece of paper with the copied intelligence on it.
The content of the information is actually very simple: Guoheyan has won a great victory, Shiba has returned successfully, and will arrive at sea for treatment in the near future.
"Eighteen" is a code name, or it may be an abbreviation. It may be difficult for ordinary Japanese people to associate it with anything, but Hiroshi Kawasaki has studied Chinese carefully over the years and can understand it at a glance.
Even if he doesn't understand, there is still the next sentence.
The medical conditions in Qian'an County made it impossible to cure Li Ruqin's injury. He had to come to Haigu for treatment.
"If I remember correctly, the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Third Army is Li Ruqin, right?" Kawasaki Hiro put down the information with a layer of frost on his face.
"Yes." Lu Chengzhou nodded.
"Li!" Kawasaki Hiroshi took out a pen and wrote the word "李" on the table.
"Teacher, do you think this 'eighteen' refers to Li Ruqin?" Lu Chengzhou said in surprise with a look of sudden realization on his face.
"Look, when the word 'Li' is taken apart, it happens to be a boy of ten, eight, or eight. In China, you often call 'Li' a boy of eighteen. It's really mean for the underground party to use such a code name." Kawasaki Hiroshi sneered.
explain.
He had received news that Li Ruqin broke his foot.
As a military commander, if he had not been injured from the beginning, how could the Fourth Regiment be completely wiped out by the Communist army?
"Could it be that the underground party deliberately misled us?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly thought of a question.
"Even if he is misled, Li Ruqin deserves to die!" Kawasaki Hiroshi said coldly.
Even if Li Ruqin was not a Communist, he would die three times if he destroyed the Fourth Regiment.
Kawasaki Hiroshi had the intention to kill Li Ruqin. Even if he was not a communist, he could still be sentenced to death.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Ruqin had just arrived in Haigu and immediately arrested the gendarmerie before he entered the hospital.
Li Ruqin did not expect that he would fall into the Japanese devil's cave just after escaping from the battlefield.
Naturally, the Japanese would not be polite to this defeated general. After catching the military police, they quickly tortured him.
Li Ruqin was originally a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death. How could he withstand the torture of the Japanese? In less than an hour, he was subjected to all kinds of torture.
He admitted that he was the Communist Party hiding in the Third Army Group, and that he had sent the information in advance when the Fourth Army Group was raiding Yanshan Pass.
"Have you seen it? Li Ruqin admitted it himself." Kawasaki Hiro called Lu Chengzhou into his office and said with a sneer.
Li Ruqin's confession made him more convinced that his judgment was correct.
"Teacher, can you let me see him?" Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
"Do you really think that Li Ruqin was unjustly accused?" Kawasaki Hiro asked.
"That's not true. But I think that if Li Ruqin is really unjust, he will definitely ask me to save him. Moreover, he will definitely save himself at any cost." Lu Chengzhou shook his head and said slowly.
"Okay." Kawasaki Hiro understood what Lu Chengzhou meant. This is also the thought of many Chinese people. When they see someone in trouble, they want to step on him again.
Lu Chengzhou would naturally not save Li Ruqin at this time. He only wanted to do one thing and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
The last time Lu Chengzhou went to the Fourth Regiment to investigate the Communist Party, Li Ruqin paid two gold bars as a tribute.
This time Li Ruqin was in trouble and would naturally pay a higher price.
Originally, Lu Chengzhou could go home from get off work, but he used the phone number in Hiroshi Kawasaki's office to call home and told Ma Yuzhen that he was going to the Military Police Headquarters.
"Brother Li, why bother?" Lu Chengzhou sighed heavily after seeing Li Ruqin.
At this time, Li Ruqin had been tortured to the point of being reduced to a human form.
He was like a puddle of soft mud, paralyzed on the ground, curled up, trying his best to make himself more comfortable.
"Director Lu... Director Lu, save me!" Li Ruqin's dull eyes suddenly brightened when he heard Lu Chengzhou's voice.
"How to save you? I don't want to save the Communist Party." Lu Chengzhou shook his head and sighed.
"I am not a Communist!" Li Ruqin said with a wry smile.
If he couldn't bear the punishment, how could he admit it?
If he hadn't admitted it, he might have died in the interrogation room by now.
"Didn't you already admit it?" Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
