Chapter 381: Release all comrades during the chaos
Soon, Dai Nong sent Jiang Ying an urgent message:
"Brother Xiang! Spare his life. I will ask Kang Ce to make amends for his crime."
Xiang Chu was unwilling, but still gave him face and replied:
"For your sake, I won't go in and catch him. I'll wait for him to come out."
Needless to say, Xiang Chu had already led his men to the Guangzhou Intelligence Station.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Captain Li! Surround the military intelligence station and do not allow anyone to leave."
"Yes!"
Li Ji hurriedly accepted the order.
The military police rushed forward and surrounded the military intelligence station.
However, this time Xiang Chu did not bring his confidants to rush into the gate.
Li Ji asked in confusion: "Sir! Why don't you just go in and catch them?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No hurry! Wait a minute, tell the brothers to load their guns, and kill anyone who dares to escape."
"understand!"
Li Ji nodded heavily.
Li Tong waited for Li Ji to leave, then said with a smile, "Uncle Junior Master! Do you want Kang Ce to kill the traitor he recruited?"
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "I'm afraid he will be killed by the traitors he recruited."
"Boom! Boom!"
Several gunshots were heard inside the gate of the Guangzhou Intelligence Station.
Xiang Chu ordered, "Captain Li! Lead your men in, disarm everyone inside, and gather them in the yard. I want to give them a lecture!"
"Yes!"
Li Ji hurriedly accepted the order.
Countless military police rushed into the gate of the military intelligence station with submachine guns.
Soon, Li Ji came out and reported loudly:
"Sir! The head of the military intelligence station, Kang Ce, was shot dead by his men. Now everyone has surrendered their weapons and gathered in the yard."
"Very good! Let's go!"
Xiang Chu nodded happily and walked into the gate of the military intelligence station with his confidants.
Kang Ce was like a thorn in his heart, which was finally removed today.
He walked up the stairs and looked at the 60 or so agents below. He couldn't help feeling sad when he thought that half of them had betrayed their country to the enemy.
He could not help but sigh: "My fellow comrades! Do you know? The Japanese invaders are wantonly raping, looting, and killing soldiers and civilians in our capital, Nanjing. More than 20 compatriots have died tragically under their butcher knives, and this number is constantly increasing. Nanjing has become a devilish hell city.
Don't you understand? The war between China and Japan is a fight to the death, with the net broken and the whole race destroyed.
Among you, 29 people have actively or passively surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country. Where is your conscience? "
"Plop! Plop!"
A dozen people knelt on the ground, crying out in tears:
"Commander Xiang! We know that the Japanese are brutal and cruel. We were forced to do so by that bastard Kang Ce. We have never provided any intelligence to the Japanese. Please show some leniency and spare us."
Xiang Chu picked up the list and pen, nodded and said, "You can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of living. Report your names one by one."
More than a dozen people reported their names. Xiang Chu checked them and found that there were 5 people who were not on his list.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Get up, get in the car with the military police and reflect on your actions."
"Thank you, Commander Xiang, for not killing me!"
More than a dozen people cried and stood up and followed the military police.
Several more people followed the example of the dozen or so people before them and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Xiang Chu still asked them to register their names one by one and found that there were new people.
A young man with a very vague accent caught his attention.
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Guo Huaicai! Where are you from?"
Guo Huaicai's agent said nervously: "Sir! I am from Changde, Hunan."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Show me your 'child'."
Guo Huaicai shook his head and said, "Sir! My child is at home."
Xiang Chu continued to ask with a smile: "Are you still here?"
Guo Huaicai was at a loss and shook his head:
"Sir! I don't understand what you are saying."
Xiang Chu glanced at Li Tong and sneered:
"Of course you don't understand! You are a Japanese spy."
Guo Huaicai turned around and tried to run away, but Li Tong rushed up and kicked him to the ground.
The military police rushed forward and held Guo Huaicai down.
A female lieutenant at the Guangzhou Military Intelligence Station pointed at Guo Huaicai and said:
"Commander Xiang! This guy was the one who killed Station Master Kang."
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Very good! What's your name?"
The female lieutenant responded, "Commander Xiang! I am He Xin from the telecommunications room. I have always admired you and will never betray my country to the enemy."
Xiang Chu felt that what she said was a bit irrelevant, but he still looked at her approvingly and nodded, "Well! You really didn't betray your country."
After a pause, he ordered, "Lieutenant He! Go and report to the department immediately that Kang Ce was assassinated by the Japanese spy Guo Huaicai before we came to investigate."
"Yes!"
He Xin hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu still has to catch traitors and has no time to waste here.
He arrested all those who should be arrested according to the list and sent them to prison.
In the end, there were less than 5 people left at the scene.
Apart from He Xin, there were only 5 people in the Guangzhou Military Intelligence Station who did not surrender to the enemy and commit treason!
Xiang Chu screened these five people and found that there was indeed no problem, so he ordered:
"Lieutenant He! Please report to the department again which six people in Guangzhou Station did not surrender to the enemy and betray the country."
"Yes!"
He Xin nodded with tears in her eyes.
Needless to say, she was also stunned by the scene before her.
"This is the consequence of not arresting Kang Ce even though you knew he was a Japanese spy."
Xiang Chu pondered inwardly, handed the list of traitors to Li Ji, and instructed:
"Captain Li! Take your men and take all these traitors to jail."
"Yes!"
Li Ji hurriedly accepted the order.
Chongqing, Military Police Department.
Dainong learned that Kang Ce was assassinated by a Japanese spy, and walked around the office in dismay.
In order to prevent Kang Ce's affairs from being known to more people, Jiang Ying sent and received telegrams in his office.
At this time, Jiang Ying received another telegram and said anxiously:
"Director! The Guangzhou Intelligence Station sent another telegram saying that only six of them did not surrender to the enemy and betray the country. These six people are He Xin..."
Dai Nong sighed, "Alas! I should have listened to Xiang Chu and let Kang Ce leave the office."
Jiang Ying suggested, "Director! The Japanese spies in Chongqing are becoming more and more rampant, carrying out assassinations everywhere. Even the Minister of the Military Affairs Department was almost caught. The higher-ups have ordered us to produce results within a week. Should we send Xiang Chu back to Chongqing to clean them up?"
Dai Nong nodded and said, "Sure! But his current military rank and position are higher than mine, so you need to be more polite."
"understand!"
Jiang Ying nodded and quickly sent a telegram.
According to the instructions of the Supreme Command, the Military Police Department now only allows her to send a telegram to Xiang Chu.
Guangzhou Prison is overcrowded.
Xiang Chu questioned the warden: "Warden! Didn't Officer Zhang ask you to make room? Why are there still so many people?"
The warden smiled bitterly and said, "Sir! There are still many Red Party members imprisoned here. I really can't do anything about it."
The full-scale war of resistance had been going on for half a year and the Japanese were about to land in Guangzhou Bay, but a large number of Communist Party members were still imprisoned there.
Xiang Chu suppressed his anger and nodded, "Yes! You are indeed in a difficult situation. I will try the traitors immediately, and kill those who should be killed and release those who should be released. You go and do your work."
"Thank you, sir, for understanding me."
The warden bowed and said, then left in a hurry.
At this time, Li Ji captured a large number of traitors and stuffed them into cells, mixing them with underground party members.
Xiang Chu called Li Tong and Kong Kong aside and instructed:
"Interrogate them immediately and release all the comrades while the chaos is going on."
"Yes!"
Li Tong and Kong Kong hurriedly accepted the order.
The two men interrogated the underground party members as much as they could and released them all.
