Li Ruqin had no choice but to admit that he was a Communist Party member in front of the Japanese.
After seeing Lu Chengzhou, Li Ruqin finally saw hope. Lu Chengzhou was a member of the military police unit, responsible for investigating the Communist Party. He had given two more gold bars before. For the sake of the gold bars, Lu Chengzhou should rescue him.
Bar.
"Director Lu, do I dare not to admit it in front of the Japanese? If I didn't admit it, I would be dead by now." Li Ruqin said with a wry smile.
He was always pampered in the army.
Even riding a horse felt very hard, let alone being tortured.
"The fourth regiment was wiped out, why are you okay?" Lu Chengzhou took out his cigarette, lit one, handed it to Li Ruqin, and lit another one himself.
"We were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. How could we survive if we didn't run away?" Li Ruqin had no confidence in his men at all.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army was all over the mountains and plains. If he had run slower, he would have turned into a corpse.
If the Japanese hold him accountable for his incompetence in leading the troops, he will certainly have nothing to say.
But how can Li Ruqin admit that he is a communist?
"Why was the Fourth Regiment surrounded by the Communists?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"This...how do I know?" Li Ruqin took a greedy puff of cigarette, and suddenly stopped halfway through.
"If the Eighth Route Army did not have accurate intelligence, how could they ambush along the Guo River?" Lu Chengzhou said with a sneer.
"Yes, how did the Eighth Route Army know about it? Director Lu, is there a Communist Party in the Fourth Regiment?" Li Ruqin suddenly realized.
"Aren't you the Communist Party? You were the only one who knew Liu Shengzu's battle orders at that time, right? After the troops left, was there anyone else who knew the battle plan besides you?" Lu Chengzhou asked coldly.
Maybe Li Ruqin regarded him as his savior, but Lu Chengzhou never had such an idea.
People like Li Ruqin will die less and less.
The Eighth Route Army completely wiped out the Fourth Regiment of the Third Army. If Li Ruqin had not died, it would still seem a bit regretful.
With the cooperation of the Haigu underground party and the use of Japanese hands to eliminate Li Ruqin, this matter was successfully completed.
"This...this..." Li Ruqin searched his mind, but couldn't find an excuse.
"If you are a man, just admit your identity. Doesn't the Communist Party emphasize on being aboveboard? Now that you have been caught, stop making excuses." Lu Chengzhou said with a sneer.
"Director Lu, I dare to swear to God that I, Li Ruqin, am definitely not a Communist Party member!" Li Ruqin said swornly.
"What's the use of telling me? The Japanese must believe it." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"As long as Director Lu believes in me, the Japanese will also believe in me! Director Lu, just save me once." Li Ruqin suddenly threw away the cigarette, crawled in front of Lu Chengzhou, hugged his legs, and cried bitterly.
explain.
Now, there are only two people who may be able to save him, one is Liu Shengzu, and the other is Lu Chengzhou in front of him.
Liu Shengzu should have known that he was caught, but he didn't even fart. All his hopes could only be pinned on Lu Chengzhou.
"If I want to save you, I have to find a reason to save you, right?" Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
"The Japanese actually have no evidence. He was beaten into submission. As long as Kikuchi Kan knows this, there will be absolutely no problem." Li Ruqin said.
"Don't you know what price you have to pay to win people from the Japanese?" Lu Chengzhou said.
"I know, I know, Director Lu, please come over here." Li Ruqin said suddenly.
"Go ahead." Lu Chengzhou stretched his head over.
"Actually, I deposited money in Zhengjin Bank." Li Ruqin said softly.
When Lu Chengzhou heard Li Ruqin's words, an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.
The money that Li Ruqin spent half his life collecting was basically stored there.
Lu Chengzhou thought to himself, this guy is really smart. If there was an Anglo-American Bank, something might happen now.
If it is deposited in a Japanese bank, as long as the Japanese are not destroyed, their money will be guaranteed.
Of course, after telling Lu Chengzhou, the money no longer belonged to Li Ruqin.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I will do my best on this matter." Lu Chengzhou said, patting his chest.
He did not promise Li Ruqin that he would be able to rescue him, he only said that he would do his best.
Li Ruqin felt that Lu Chengzhou could definitely save him. After all, Lu Chengzhou was the director of the Intelligence Office and often dealt with the Japanese.
The fact that Lu Chengzhou could see him this time showed his ability.
Li Ruqin didn't know that what Lu Chengzhou said about doing his best was to try his best to withdraw all his money from Zhengjin Bank.
This time Li Ruqin also risked his life to survive.
In order to save his own life, he could only trust Lu Chengzhou.
But Li Ruqin never imagined that Lu Chengzhou not only failed to save him, but came to take his life.
Two days later, Li Ruqin was shot to death. He did not wait for Lu Chengzhou to save him until his death.
In fact, after Li Ruqin was shot, Lu Chengzhou withdrew all the money he had deposited in Zhengjin Bank.
After Li Ruqin was shot, Lu Chengzhou promptly informed Gu Sanshi of the news.
At this time, the Fourth Regiment of the Third Army was truly finished.
"Teacher, although Li Ruqin is dead, we cannot take it lightly. There may be Communists in the Third Army." Lu Chengzhou went to see Li Ruqin's body. Only after seeing the body could he report to the organization.
"The key to the matter is not whether there is a Communist Party in the Third Army, but how the Haigu underground party still has contact with the Third Army." Kawasaki Hiroshi shook his head.
Li Ruqin was a Communist Party matter, and he judged it from the intelligence of the underground party.
Kawasaki Hiro can believe that the military police beat Li Ruqin successfully.
But he would never doubt the information about the Haigu underground party.
How could the intelligence obtained from the enemy be wrong?
The code name "Eighteen" immediately identified him with Li, and Li Ruqin was also injured and was about to come to Haigu for treatment.
"One more thing. I heard that Fang Pinqing from the fifth regiment is also planning to come to Haigu for training." Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
"You can monitor Fang Pinqing, but you can't treat him as a communist." Kawasaki Hiroshi shook his head.
He also knew that the Communist Party might be pervasive, but it was hard for him to believe that both Li Ruqin and Fang Pinqing were Communists.
If these two people also become Communists, how will the Third Army fight against the Eighth Route Army in the future?
Moreover, the main reason why the Third Army suffered such a disastrous defeat this time was still the 13th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and Bao Sanmu.
"Okay, I'll send someone to monitor you immediately." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
"There's one more thing. Over there on Route 26, please arrange for Huang Jizhen to keep an eye on it." Kawasaki Hiroshi suddenly said.
"Huang Jizhen? Can he do it?" Lu Chengzhou was shocked. This Huang Jizhen was the former secretary of the Tangshan City Committee and an old underground party. If he was asked to keep an eye on it, could he still put information in the mailbox?
