Chapter 157 College students, do you have evidence? I don't believe they are spies! 3-word chap
Lin Zhenhua didn't know that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were already preparing to arrest people. He still asked Duan Peng and Wei Dayong to keep an eye on Li Xiaoming and Ma Tiancheng. After several days of surveillance, they actually found evidence of the connection.
"Heshang, Duan Peng, come with me to find the regiment commander and the political commissar. We must arrest these two people immediately. We must not allow them to continue to leak the intelligence of the independent regiment!"
"Also, telegraph operator Wang Xiaoshan must be controlled. He and Li Xiaoming are together every day. I don't believe he was unaware of this, but he didn't report it after he found out. His identity is also very suspicious. It's a good opportunity to arrest them all and investigate them thoroughly!"
Lin Zhenhua's face was filled with anger. He had not expected that his previous guess would come true. No wonder the Japanese had timed their attack so accurately. It turned out that they had the help of an internal thief. The independent regiment had suffered such heavy losses in the previous anti-mopping-up operation, and these people must have been involved.
Wei Dayong also said angrily: "Fortunately, the college students asked me to keep an eye on them, otherwise I really wouldn't have discovered them. We can't let them go on like this. We must report this to the regiment commander and the political commissar immediately!"
As soon as Wei Dayong finished speaking, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang appeared at Lin Zhenhua's residence. Seeing the three of them looking angry, Li Yunlong asked curiously, "College students, what's wrong with you three? Who made you three so angry at the same time? How come I didn't know there was such a person in our independent regiment?"
Seeing Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang just arrived, Lin Zhenhua asked Duan Peng and Wei Dayong to go out and take charge of the alert, and asked them to sit down and said: "Old Li, Old Zhao, I was just planning to talk to you about this matter. It's a good opportunity for you to come over, so I will explain everything to you!"
"I was responsible for repairing the radio station of the independent regiment before. Every time I repaired it for less than half a month, our radio station would break down. At the beginning, I didn't care. After all, our radio station was assembled from multiple Japanese radio stations, so it was understandable that it would break down."
"But later, after we were able to independently produce some radio parts, I discovered something was wrong. Our radio parts shouldn't have been worn out so badly, so I started to investigate the matter secretly, and I actually found traces of the telegraph operator deliberately damaging the radio."
"In order to find out which telegraph operator did this, I specifically asked the monk to be in charge of surveillance. In the end, I found that Li Xiaoming was very suspicious. I also found that he and Ma Tiancheng of the cavalry company passed information. This matter has been confirmed. We have also found evidence of their contact. I am planning to go find you two."
"There is another telegraph operator named Wang Xiaoshan, who is also a strong suspect. He works with Li Xiaoming every day. I don't believe that he didn't discover anything at all. After discovering it, he didn't report it and even hid it. This person is definitely harboring evil intentions!"
Lin Zhenhua's investigation results really shocked Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong. They didn't expect that both telegraph operators had problems. Li Yunlong suppressed his inner shock and confirmed again: "College student, do you dare to be responsible for what you said? We can't wrongly accuse a good person, and of course we can't let a bad person go. Those two telegraph operators were sent by the headquarters. Even if they betrayed, there must be a time. I really can't think of when they defected to the enemy?"
Zhao Gang followed up by saying, "College student, if you say that there is a problem with one of the telegraph operators, I would agree with that, but if there are problems with both telegraph operators, then the impact is too great. This means that there may also be problems with the telegraph operators at the headquarters. The boss and his men are in a very dangerous situation now. We must be cautious about this matter!"
Lin Zhenhua took out the things that Ma Tiancheng had secretly hidden. Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were speechless for a long time after seeing them. Finally, Zhao Gang spoke up: "College student, Lao Li and I also found some suspicious people. We were just planning to discuss it with you, but you dropped a big bomb directly. It really shocked the two of us!"
"Since you, the college student, have produced evidence, we will follow the rules and make a unified move tomorrow morning to arrest all these people and eliminate the hidden dangers of our independent regiment. Our independent regiment will soon receive a division's worth of equipment, plus more than 30 machine tools. That is the foundation of our independent regiment's survival and we cannot afford the slightest mistake. College student, just go for it!"
Li Yunlong also expressed his support, saying, "College students, the interrogation of these two telegraph operators must be carried out as soon as possible. We need to find out whether they are spies of the devil or they betrayed us later. This is very important to us. We must also inform the brigade headquarters in time. I will ask the communicator Xiao Ma to send a letter to the brigade commander in a while. So in this matter, the losses must be kept to a minimum!"
After the three of them discussed it, they determined the action plan. This time, the special forces company would be responsible for arresting people. Deputy Commander Xing had already gone down to pass the message and ordered all troops to return within three days. The three of them planned to take action on the morning of May 5.
The arrest operation three days later went very smoothly without any unexpected situations. The resistance of these people did not cause any waves and they were captured cleanly and neatly by the special forces company. This incident also caused a great response within the independent regiment. The soldiers did not expect that the Japs had planted so many spies and secret agents in the independent regiment. For a while, they looked at everyone around them with suspicion. Once they found something wrong, they reported it immediately, which really caused chaos on a small scale. However, the price was worth paying.
Wang Xiaohai and Zhao Yuanqing did not escape either, they were all arrested. After interrogation, they readily confessed everything they knew. Li Yunlong looked at what they had confessed and wished he could kill these two bastards on the spot.
"Old Zhao, no wonder our independent regiment suffered such heavy losses in the last anti-mopping-up operation. It was all caused by these damn traitors. Even the several assassinations that occurred in our base were planned and executed by these bastards. I really didn't expect that these people would be so heartless. They became traitors just by being scared by the Japanese. These cowards should be cut into pieces to make me feel less angry!" Li Yunlong said gritting his teeth.
Zhao Gang did not try to comfort them, but instead talked about the results of the interrogation of the two telegraph operators, which was also very shocking.
"Old Li, Li Xiaoming and Wang Xiaoshan have confessed. Li Xiaoming was instigated by the Japanese Mei Agency. He was supposed to stay in Nanjing to deal with our underground organization, but ended up coming to the headquarters by mistake. He started sending and receiving telegrams again, and was later sent to our independent regiment by the headquarters. He got in touch with the Japanese Mei Agency and now takes orders from Hirata Kojiro!"
"Wang Xiaoshan's situation is more complicated. He is a spy trained by the Japanese Special High Section. He was the one who leaked the headquarters' location. Fortunately, he stayed in the headquarters for a short time, otherwise the consequences would be more serious. He was sent by the headquarters to train us as a telegraph operator. Who would have thought that he was actually a spy for the Japanese? He had discovered Li Xiaoming's identity a long time ago and covered up for him several times. Otherwise, we would have discovered Li Xiaoming's problem a long time ago."
"If the college student hadn't acted decisively and let the two of them continue to hide, all the secrets hidden by our independent regiment would have been leaked. Fortunately, the matter of penicillin was not told to others, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous!"
"But the results this time are also encouraging. We have cleared out the hidden rats in the independent regiment. Even if there are some that slip through the net, it will not affect the overall situation. We can safely and boldly transport the equipment into the base without having to worry about leaks!"
Li Yunlong put down the confession in his hand and ordered the monk beside him: "Monk, kill these damn traitors for me. I can't even give them a full meal on the road. I will let them go hungry!"
"Lao Zhao, I'm about to leave with the college students to receive the equipment. After we leave, you will be responsible for all the affairs at home. You must be vigilant against sneak attacks by Yamamoto's special forces. This time we have pulled out the Japanese's spies. Hirata Kojiro will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely retaliate. You must arrange for the people in the base to be careful during this period. After we come back and the troops are reorganized, we must take down the Xiaozhangzhuang stronghold. We can't leave such a thorn and let the Japanese keep an eye on our independent regiment every day!"
Zhao Gang nodded and assured: "Old Li, the number of troops we have added to our independent regiment this time is not small. I did a special statistics yesterday. The total number of troops in our independent regiment has reached 6862, which is equivalent to the size of the original three regiments. We can't continue to expand. The troops have not been trained for a long time and have no combat effectiveness at all. We can't just expand our troops blindly, otherwise there will be big problems!"
"This time when you go out with the college students, you must be extremely careful. Let's put the matter in Ping'an County aside for now. I feel that Xu Zhongyi is a little too impatient. We must not take risks with the lives of all the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. It is better to delay Xu Zhongyi for the time being!"
Li Yunlong also felt that his old comrade Xu Zhongyi was being a little too hasty. Based on his intuition, he felt that there was something going on, but he had always kept it in his heart and had never told anyone. Today, Zhao Gang happened to bring it up, and he also planned to say a few more words about it.
"Old Zhao, if Xu Zhongyi sends someone to contact you again, you don't have to pay any attention to him. I've already told him clearly that we no longer have penicillin, but he still won't give up. He's completely different from his previous behavior. I think there's something wrong with his behavior these days, so we'd better be more careful!"
"Our independent regiment is now a hot commodity in the eyes of many people. They all want to run up and take a bite. That would be a feast for the eyes. Before we have strength, we must keep a low profile and temporarily cut off all external contacts. We will talk about this matter after the troops have completed reorganization and training. Before we have the ability to protect ourselves, I will not sell another penicillin. I, Li Yunlong, will never do such a stupid thing as showing off with gold in the market. I have never been confused about major matters!"
