Chapter 1150: Fear of the Well Rope
Xiang Chu waved his hand and rushed forward with Ai Hai.
"What do you want to do?"
Ai Hai roared and pushed the little soldier away.
Xiang Chu picked up a piece of wood and pulled the fire into the stream.
Liu Zhengxiong and others also rushed over from the command post upon hearing the noise.
Everyone put out the fire together and the smoke gradually dissipated.
However, the smoke in the air cannot dissipate in a short period of time.
The roar in the distance was like thunder rolling across the sky.
The Japanese bombers were heading towards the smoke in the sky, getting closer and closer.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Deputy Captain! Go and sound the air raid alarm."
Liu Zhengxiong asked anxiously: "Can our medium-sized artillery shoot down the plane?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Putting it on a slope to increase the elevation angle will work, but the recoil is too strong, so the location for placement must be carefully selected. You can discuss this with Director Zhang."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu looked at the young soldier and found that he was only about ten years old, with fear on his young face.
The young soldier bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Captain! I didn't expect to attract the Japanese planes."
Xiang Chu glanced around and pointed at the cave next to him and said:
"Captain Four! Bring him into the cave, I'll interrogate him."
"Yes!"
Ai Hai hurriedly took the order and brought the little soldier into the cave with two shadow spies.
Niu Feng ran over and asked anxiously, "Captain! Is the soldier who set off the smoke a Japanese spy?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "He must have been bewitched! Let's go in and interrogate him together."
The two men walked into the cave, and Ai Hai and Shadow Spy had already tied up the little soldier.
Ai Hai reported: "Captain! Political Commissar! His name is Li Mao. He is a soldier of the third squad of the third battalion of the fourth brigade. He is now in charge of the kitchen squad."
Li Mao cried out in tears: "Commander! I didn't mean to do that. I just happened to catch some big fish in the stream."
Niu Feng scolded: "As soon as you released the smoke, the Japanese planes came over. How could it be such a coincidence? Tell me! Who ordered you to do that?"
Li Mao stammered, "I, no one ordered me to do that."
Xiang Chu didn't say anything, but kept observing him and found that his face turned red.
Ai Hai threatened: "If you don't tell the truth, I will have to shoot you."
Intimidation was useless, Li Mao remained clenched his teeth and said nothing.
Xiang Chu rolled his eyes at Ai Hai and said deliberately, "Captain Four! Don't shoot people without thinking. Little brother! This fish is definitely not for you to eat. Which female cadre wants to eat fish?"
Li Mao blurted out: "Staff Officer Li! She wants to eat grilled fish."
Niu Feng said coldly: "Li Jing! Captain Four! Bring her here."
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "No! Political Commissar! Let's go to the telecommunications room to find Li Jing together."
After he finished speaking, he rushed out, and Niu Feng and others hurriedly followed.
The Japanese spies planned very carefully, with some sending telegrams and others setting off smoke screens.
The roar of the Japanese bombers was getting closer and closer, and they were flying very low.
The Japanese pilots never thought that the special operations detachment also had artillery for air defense.
"Boom! Boom!"
Liu Zhengxiong and Zhang Fei were organizing artillery fire into the air.
A Japanese bomber was caught off guard and hit by a shell, exploding in mid-air.
Other Japanese bombers dropped bombs and took off in a panic to avoid ground artillery attacks.
The shells whizzed down and landed in the mountains, and the explosion was earth-shaking.
Because it was a blind attack in a panic, the impact can be imagined.
Xiang Chu rushed into the telecommunications room. Ma Fugui and other radio operators were listening to the radio. Li Jing was among them. When he saw him come in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Xiang Chu looked at Li Jing, a young woman with short hair and a pale face, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
At this time, Niu Feng and Ai Hai also followed in.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Li Jing stays here, and the others go to the cave next door."
"Yes!"
Ma Fugui and others hurriedly accepted the order.
Li Jing's face was pale and she was terrified.
Niu Feng scolded: "Li Jing! Did you instruct Li Mao to grill the fish and light smoke to guide the Japanese bombers?"
Li Jing shook her head and said, "It's not me. I didn't."
Xiang Chu pointed at the radio and said coldly: "You also sent a message to the Japanese intelligence agency, asking the Japanese planes to bomb. Tell me who threatened you, and I will give you a chance to reflect on yourself."
Niu Feng wanted to say something but stopped himself, probably remembering the past, it was Xiang Chu who spared his life that led to his current achievements.
Xiang Chu saw Li Jing hesitate, and said earnestly:
"Li Jing! The Japanese are so cruel. They launched a war of aggression against our country that led to the destruction of our nation and the extinction of our race. The things they have done are too numerous to list. Are you going to go further down this evil path?"
"Plop!" a sound.
Li Jing knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "It was all Zheng Yi's fault. She said that Unit 76 had arrested my family. If I didn't listen to her, all my family members in Suzhou would die."
Xiang Chu hurriedly ordered: "Captain Four! Take people to quickly arrest Zheng Yi."
"Yes!"
Ai Hai hurriedly took the order and ran out.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Li Jing! Get up."
Li Jing stood up and cried bitterly, "Captain! I was wrong. I will definitely change my ways in the future. Woo woo!"
Niu Feng said angrily: "Li Jing! You have always been an activist, why don't you stand firm..."
He thought about how he had not been firm at the beginning and could not continue.
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder and shook his head, saying, "We are all human beings, and everyone makes mistakes. We should adhere to the principle of curing diseases and saving lives and give her a chance to correct her mistakes.
Let her reflect on it for a few days, and then we will study and decide on the treatment method.”
Niu Feng nodded and said, "Okay!"
Xiang Chu ordered the shadow spy: "Take Li Jing to the confinement room and ask him to write a profound self-criticism."
"Yes!"
Shadow Spy and Li Jing obeyed the order in unison and walked out of the telecommunications room.
Niu Feng sighed: "I never thought that among the ten cadres I brought, there would be so many spies."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Will everything be alright if we dig them all out?"
At this time, the sound of artillery outside gradually stopped.
The Japanese lost two bombers and the rest fled in panic.
"Boom! Boom!"
In the cave below, continuous gunfire was heard again.
Xiang Chu and Niu Feng hurried out of the telecommunications room and ran towards the place where the gunshots were heard.
Ai Hai ran towards the two and reported loudly:
"Captain! Political Commissar! Zheng Yi injured two of our soldiers and a cadre, shouted slogans that the Japanese must win, and then shot herself. Madam is searching her for belongings."
Niu Feng was shocked and said, "This Zheng Yi is actually a Japanese spy."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It's really omnipresent! Let's go and take a look."
Niu Feng shook his head and said, "Captain! I'd better gather the new cadres for a meeting. I'll ask you to check them one by one, starting with me."
Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "What do you have to check? Others can check it out."
"it is good!"
Niu Feng nodded, turned around and ran into the command post to broadcast and call for help.
Xiang Chu followed Ai Hai to the place where Zheng Yi committed suicide.
Xu Lai stepped forward, handed him a piece of jadeite jade, and whispered:
"Brother Chu! This is what I found on Zheng Yi."
Xiang Chu took the magatama and looked at it, and said in surprise:
"Jade magatama is extremely rare in Fuso. Her birth is not simple. This is a precious heirloom of the Nanzō family."
Xu Lai reminded: "There is also the word Fusang on it."
Xiang Chu examined it carefully and read out: "Nan Zao Yi Zi!"
Xu Lai said angrily: "Hurry up and give it to Nan Zao Yunzi to please her."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be a disaster for me to give it to her? But this piece of magatama can save Li Jing's family."
After saying this, he handed the magatama to Ai Hai and instructed:
"Captain Four! Have Li Jing send a telegram to the Shanghai Special High Section, asking them to use this magatama to exchange for the safety of Nanzō Yunko's family."
"Yes!"
Ai Hai hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, Xiaoliu ran over and reported loudly:
"Captain! The Political Commissar asks you to go to the conference room to identify the new cadres."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Once bitten by a snake, a political commissar will be afraid of ropes for ten years."
