As soon as he returned to the Military Police, a major came over, whispered a few words to Tanaka Misuke, and then stood there carefully.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Tanaka Weisuke's face became extremely ugly, and then he cursed: "Baga, you are all a bunch of losers, you are extremely incompetent," and then slapped the major several times.
When Kawashima Jinwu saw this, he immediately asked: "General, what happened?"
Tanaka Weisuke said angrily: "That batch of seamless steel pipes has been bought by someone, but our people have been thrown away by the other party. It is really incompetent."
Kawashima Jinwu asked in surprise: "How is this possible? There are more than a dozen people staring at that batch of seamless steel pipes. How could they be thrown away?"
Tanaka Weisuke said coldly: "It seems that the other party came well prepared," and then asked the major: "What exactly happened and why were you dumped? Tell me what happened."
The major said carefully: "Your Excellency General, after nine o'clock tonight, a total of five or six groups of people went to contact the French, which diverted many of our manpower.
At about 1 o'clock in the evening, the French drove a truck from the warehouse. We followed it and found that they were trading. However, these people seemed to know that we were watching, so they took precautions. After the transaction was completed, we walked on Lingnan Road.
, we were attacked, and due to lack of manpower, we lost the truck."
Kawashima Jinwu immediately asked: "Since we are short of manpower, why don't you ask for support?"
The Major said carefully: "An hour ago, we felt that we were short of manpower and called for help. However, the gendarmerie did not have enough manpower at that time and did not send us any personnel."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Kawashima Jinwu carefully again. After all, these words seemed to shirk responsibility, so he was afraid that Kawashima Jinwu would be angry.
As soon as the major finished speaking, the expressions of the two people changed completely. Tanaka Weisuke became even more angry. After linking what happened tonight, he knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he said to Kawashima Jinwu: "Kawashima-kun, the current situation
It can be proved that these seamless steel pipes should have fallen into the hands of the underground party. It seems that they are more cunning than we thought. Not only did they find out that we were staring at the repair shop, but they also knew that those seamless steel pipes were bait, so they used them.
It is a plan to build plank roads openly and covertly to destroy Chencang."
Kawashima Jinwu said bitterly: "These underground parties are so cunning. They used the repair shop to attract our attention and lure all our personnel here, but they took advantage of this opportunity to buy seamless steel pipes.
"
Tanaka Weisuke thought for a moment, and then said coldly: "Although the seamless steel pipes are in their hands, the time is tight tonight and they cannot transport these things out of Tianjin, so we have to investigate carefully and make sure to remove these things."
turn up."
Kawashima Jinwu immediately said: "Your Excellency General, although this batch of seamless steel pipes is quite large, it is also easy to hide. If the underground party hides them and does not take any action, it will be difficult for us to find them."
Tanaka Weisuke said calmly: "The underground party will never do nothing. Now that these seamless steel pipes are in their hands, they will definitely find a way to transport them out of Tianjin. Only in this way can these things be of value."
Kawashima Jinwu said calmly: "Your Excellency General, in that case, we can search on all the roads leaving Tianjin. After all, these seamless steel pipes are not small things and are difficult to hide."
Tanaka Weisuke thought for a while and said cautiously: "It will be safer to allocate some people from the special high school to the checkpoint. Anyway, these seamless steel pipes must not be allowed to leave Tianjin."
Kawashima Jinwu also agreed with this opinion. After all, he also knew that these seamless steel pipes were very important. If they were shipped out of Tianjin and made into mortars by the Eighth Route Army, they would cause great damage to the Japanese army during the battle.
loss, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, General, I will immediately dispatch some thoughtful people to the checkpoint and will never let this batch of things leave Tianjin."
The two of them talked for a few more words. Kawashima Jinwu thought of something and spoke again: "General, there is one more thing. Judging from the situation tonight, the power of these underground parties is much stronger than we imagined.
They not only attack the agents who are watching the repair shop, but they can also deal with our people who are watching the seamless steel pipes at the same time, and they have become a serious problem."
Hearing Kawashima Jinwu's words, Tanaka Weisuke said angrily: "Yes, the power of these underground parties is indeed much greater than we imagined. It seems that they must be eliminated as soon as possible."
Kawashima Jinwu echoed a few words. Seeing that Tanaka Weisuke was in a bad mood, he persuaded in a low voice: "General, what happened today may not be a bad thing. After all, we have all set our sights on the military commander before.
This allowed the underground party to develop and finally became a serious problem.
As for the current situation, as long as these underground parties want to transport seamless steel pipes out of Tianjin, they will definitely take action. We will seize the flaw and catch them all..."
With Kawashima Kintake's persuasion, Tanaka Misuke's mood improved a lot, and then the two little devils continued to discuss how to deal with the underground party.
At the same time, in a factory in urban Tianjin, several underground party leaders gathered together and were talking happily about tonight's events.
Since tonight's operation was very important and required a lot of manpower, the three leaders of the underground party all participated in the operation, and a guerrilla team was also transferred from outside the city. Only then did the goal be achieved.
Looking at the seamless steel pipes in front of them, several people were very happy. Zhao Wentian said excitedly: "This batch of seamless steel pipes has finally fallen into our hands. Comrade Cheng De, your idea is really brilliant."
Zhao Chengde smiled and said: "Comrade Wen Tian's plan was not good. If you hadn't sent people to lure away some agents and brought in a guerrilla team, we wouldn't have been able to complete the mission so easily."
Zhao Wentian said in a good mood: "According to what you said, we would also like to thank the people from the Military Command Bureau. If they hadn't attracted the attention of the Japanese Gendarmerie, resulting in a shortage of manpower for the Japs, we wouldn't have been able to achieve our goal so easily."
As soon as Zhao Wentian finished speaking, everyone else in the factory laughed. After a few minutes, Zhang Qingshan said: "Comrade Wentian, the Japanese have suffered such a big loss and will never let it go, so we must be careful.
, lest they find clues, especially those who participated in the operation today, they must hide well."
Zhao Wentian said confidently: "Don't worry, the people who led away the Japanese agents are all excellent operators, and they will definitely be able to get rid of their tracking. As for the guerrillas who took action, they all hid in the safe house.
Let's go out to see the situation tomorrow morning, and if possible, arrange for the guerrillas to leave as soon as possible, so that there won't be any problems."
Hearing Zhao Wentian's words, Zhang Qingshan nodded, and then said again: "Comrade Wentian, these seamless steel pipes are about to be shipped out of Tianjin."
Zhao Wentian said calmly: "Now that things have just happened, the little devils will definitely be very careful. It will definitely be very difficult to transport these things out of Tianjin, so I plan to wait and see what happens."
Zhang Qingshan said quickly: "You mean to stand still and wait until the situation calms down before thinking of ways to transport this batch of things out of Tianjin."
Zhao Wentian said calmly: "Yes, this is the only way to be safer."
Zhang Qingshan sighed and said: "Comrade Wen Tian, your idea is correct, but our troops are too short of weapons and equipment, and this batch of seamless steel pipes can solve many problems. The earlier you get to the arsenal, the sooner you can
It can be used as a mortar, so I suggest you find a way to transport these things out of Tianjin as soon as possible."
Zhao Wentian said softly: "Comrade Qingshan, I also understand the situation in the army, but we must put safety first, otherwise if something goes wrong and this batch of things is lost, wouldn't we become organizational sinners?
.
Moreover, these seamless steel pipes are too long and very conspicuous. It is not easy to transport them, let alone at this time, so we must not be in a hurry."
Zhang Qingshan sighed again, then looked at the seamless steel pipe in front of him and said helplessly: "It's really annoying to see these treasures unable to be transported to the rear."
Looking at Zhang Qingshan's expression, Zhao Wentian was also a little troubled. After all, he also wanted to transport these things out of Tianjin, and as the first person in charge of the Tianjin underground party, he was the most anxious person.
But he knew the current situation and did not dare to take risks at will. He could only choose to be patient and slowly think of a solution.
At this time, Zhao Chengde on the side said: "Comrade Wen Tian, the barrel of the mortar is not long. Can we ask the arsenal what size is needed and then find a way to cut it. This will not only be safer, but also easier to transport.
.”
As soon as Zhao Chengde finished speaking, Zhao Wentian nodded immediately: "This is a good idea. I will send a telegram to the rear shortly and ask for their dimensions. However, our military station has just been destroyed and many tools have been lost. If you want to cut these steel pipes,
It’s also a nuisance.”
Zhao Chengde immediately said: "Anyway, our personnel have been preserved. At worst, we will set up another military station, which will always be used in the future. Besides, if we want to transport these things, we probably still need to modify the vehicles."
Zhao Wentian also wanted to build the military station again, but he had no choice. He said with emotion: "It is not that easy to set up a military station. Now that we have purchased these seamless steel pipes, we have already consumed all our funds. We cannot get it at all."
Even if we provide money, the situation in the rear is not good, and we cannot provide help if we take up time. We are left with nothing, so what can we use to build a military depot."
Faced with this situation, Zhao Chengde also felt helpless. After all, it was difficult to do things without money, especially in occupied areas, so he had to start thinking about how to get some funds.
