Chapter 1124 The captain of this detachment wants to interrogate in public
In Red Rock Canyon, Doihara Mizuo led his troops to a standstill.
The two sudden gunshots made him retreat.
But if I haven't accomplished anything, I will definitely not be able to report back.
Doihara Kan'ei treated them as discarded pawns.
"Boom! Boom!"
Several gunshots were heard in the distance, getting farther and farther away.
The regiment chief of staff said happily: "Captain! The Chinese Eighth Route Army has been frightened and fled. Let's chase them quickly."
Doihara Mizuro was very rebellious and shook his head, saying, "No! I'm afraid the Eighth Route Army wants to lure our troops deeper into the territory. Radio operator! Call the division commander. Our troops were shot by the Eighth Route Army in Red Rock Canyon. Please return."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly took the order and sent the message.
Not long after, I received a call back:
"Doihara Mizuro! According to intelligence, the Lijiazhai has no more than 580 troops. You brought 300 elite soldiers with you. If you cannot annihilate them, don't come back."
Doihara Mizuro smiled awkwardly, "It turns out there are only 580 troops. I, the commander of the regiment, was overthinking. Chief of Staff! All troops attack and occupy Lijiazhai."
The wing chief of staff bowed and said, "Your Excellency, wing commander! The division commander did not set a time limit. Our army should proceed steadily and cautiously to capture Lijiazhai."
Doihara Mizuro nodded and said, "Yoshi! Enter the village quietly, and don't shoot."
The northern cave of Lijiazhai is the command post of Hu Changsheng’s camp.
The radio operator reported: "Battalion Commander! Battalion Commander Lan called and said that the Japanese troops are moving very slowly after entering Hongshi Gorge."
Hu Changsheng asked doubtfully, "Did the Japs discover the ambush?"
At this time, Gan Rong rushed in, handed a list to Hu Changsheng, and ordered:
"Captain Hu! Gather all the people on this list immediately and tell them I want to hold a meeting for them."
Hu Changsheng took the watch and said with a wry smile, "Chief of Staff! They are all cadres. Why are they gathering together at this critical moment?"
Gan Rong pulled him out of the cave and whispered, "Changsheng! The detachment commander has determined that there are Japanese spies among those who are complaining. We must gather them together and examine them one by one."
Hu Changsheng nodded and said worriedly: "They are all commanders and fighters. The battle is about to start. Who will command the troops below?"
Gan Rong took out another list and handed it to him, saying, "Their troops will be temporarily under the charge of these shadow spies."
Hu Changsheng took the list and nodded, "Okay! For the sake of management, I will notify these people to come to the meeting immediately."
After he finished speaking, he immediately told the communicator to call someone to the meeting.
Gan Rong pointed to the cave next to the command post and said, "Let's hold the meeting in here. Send two shadow spies to stand guard at the door."
"Yes!"
Hu Changsheng hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, two shadow spies ran over with a new recruit with his hands tied.
A shadow spy reported: "Chief of Staff! Captain Hu! The detachment commander asked our battalion commander to bring the recruit who accidentally fired the gun to you."
The recruit shouted, "Why are you arresting me? I fired the gun accidentally."
Gan Rong sneered, "Can two bullets go off accidentally? You were clearly giving the devils a warning."
Gan Rong ordered: "Put him in the confinement room."
"Yes!"
The two shadow spies hurriedly took orders and rushed to the nearby detention room with the new recruits.
Soon, Wei Shang and other cadres who were complaining entered the meeting room one after another.
Wei Shang said indignantly: "The war is imminent, why are we still holding a meeting?"
As his battalion commander, Hu Changsheng scolded, "Captain Wei! The chief of staff has called a meeting, so you should show some respect."
Wei Shang said sarcastically, "Alas! I just don't understand why a group of people came from nowhere and commanded the professionals."
Some people murmured in agreement, defending his point of view.
Hu Changsheng said coldly: "We have fought more battles than you have crossed bridges. I was originally the head of the regiment."
Gan Rong was afraid that he would leak the secret, so he hurriedly said, "No more quarreling! Captain Hu! Everyone is here, right?"
"Why hasn't anyone arrived yet? I'll go out and take a look."
Hu Changsheng said unhappily and walked out of the meeting room.
He saw Xiang Chu at the door, being led into the confinement room by a shadow spy, and immediately followed him.
In the confinement room, the new recruit still had a rebellious expression.
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Little brother! What's your name? Where are you from?"
The new soldier begged, "Commander! My name is Niu Ercai, and I was born and raised in Zhumadian. I didn't shoot on purpose."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "I know, but your accidental discharge has caused a bad influence. I will release you after one day. What do you think?"
The recruit said happily: "Okay!"
Xiang Chu said coldly: "Niu Ercai! People in Zhumadian don't say "good", but "Chinese". You are not from Zhumadian. To be precise, you are not Chinese."
The recruit said hurriedly: "I forgot to say 'middle'!"
Hu Changsheng angrily shouted, "You can't learn Chinese dialects. Tell me! Who sent you here? Who are your accomplices?"
"Bang!" There was a sound.
Xiang Chu had already made his move, knocking Niu Ercai unconscious with one punch, and ordered:
"Quick! Take away all the poison and weapons from him."
"Yes!"
The two shadow spies hurriedly received the order.
After a busy period, the two shadow spies found Niu Ercai's poisoned teeth, the potassium cyanide bag under his collar, the explosive bag on his body, and the notebook in his pocket.
Xiang Chu flipped open the record book and sneered, "This man has only been in the army for a few days, but he has obtained so many secrets of our army. He is obviously a professional spy."
Hu Changsheng took Niu Ercai's hand and examined it, wondering:
"Captain! He doesn't have calluses on his fingers, so he probably can't send messages. There are Japanese spies who are responsible for sending messages."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "There must be more."
He stuffed two Ecstasy Pills into Niu Ercai's mouth, pinched his philtrum to wake him up, and asked with a smile:
"Niu Ercai! Who are your accomplices?"
Niu Ercai said dazedly: "Captain Wei!"
Xiang Chu was shocked. He did not expect that the spy was a company commander. He continued to ask:
"Where is your radio station hidden?"
Niu Ercai shook his head and said slowly, "Captain Wei's residence is inside the partition wall at the head of the bed."
At this time, Wei Shang shouted loudly outside the conference room in a neutral voice:
"Captain Hu! Where are you? We are waiting for you to come to the meeting."
Niu Ercai heard his voice, his eyes widened, and he seemed to have become more sober.
Xiang Chu knocked him unconscious and said with a smile: "Changsheng! Come with me to meet Wei Shang."
Hu Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes!"
The two men walked out of the confinement room, and Wei Shang was still looking around at the door of the conference room.
Wei Shang saw Xiang Chu coming over and saluted hurriedly, saying loudly, "Hello, Captain!"
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "Hello, Captain Wei! Come in quickly."
At this time, gunfire was heard outside Lijiazhai.
Wei Shang said anxiously: "Captain! I want to ask for permission to take a company over to destroy the devils."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "No need! The devils can't enter the village."
Xiang Chu gave Hu Changsheng a look, meaning to take action against Wei Shang.
Unexpectedly, several company and platoon leaders squeezed out of the meeting room and volunteered:
"Captain! Let us lead our troops to defeat the devils."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! Let's have a meeting first."
The platoon leader turned around helplessly and sat back in his seat.
The moment Wei Shang turned around, Xiang Chu suddenly attacked and slapped him on the neck.
Wei Shang fainted and was about to fall to the ground, but Hu Changsheng reached out and held him up in time.
The company and platoon leaders turned around and saw this scene and looked at each other in surprise.
Xiang Chu ordered, "Quick! Tie up the spy Wei Shang. This captain wants to interrogate him in public."
