Staff Officer Tanaka was ordered by Ono Daisa, chief of staff of the Takeda Brigade, to secretly follow Teng Bian and cover his sleeves, but he didn't expect to meet this lying guy who was suddenly bumped into by Translator Pang who returned to Qinshui County.

The frenzied Teng Bian Hood went so far as to shoot and kill the witnesses, but not only did he order the military police who followed the action to escort the two men back to the brigade headquarters for examination.

After examination, Teng Bian's lie was exposed, and in order to severely punish Teng Bian's sleeve who escaped from the battle, he was imprisoned in the gendarmerie for self-examination and demoted to a second lieutenant.

According to Lei Yunfeng's arrangement, Translator Pang handed over the information of this investigation and survey from Ichiro Yamai, who was killed in a fight, to Translator Pang, and asked him how to free himself after entering the city.

At this time, not only was he not severely punished, but he was also verbally commended by the brigade commander.

But the cunning chief of staff of the Takeda Brigade Ono did not let the Pang translator go home, but left him at the brigade headquarters and strictly forbade him to leave a step.

The owner of the Pang family's compound, that is, Pang Shichong, who was the president of the puppet chamber of commerce when the Japanese army occupied Qinshui County, was waiting carefully for two young maids, and suddenly Bian Sancang, the captain of the self-defense force of the chamber of commerce, ran in in a panic.

The frightened Pang Changhuo sat up straight, stared at a pair of gloomy eyes and scolded: "Three cannons, did you bastard get picked up by a wolf or stepped on the tail of a snake, so panicked rushed in to think about ......." ”

"President Pang, something is wrong, I was drinking tea with a few friends in the tavern just now, and I heard rumors that the second young man of Pang Jiating was wiped out with the imperial army this time, and you said that I heard this bad news, and I can still take steps in ......all directions."

"Three guns, if you talk nonsense again, I tore your mouth, do you believe this kind of rumor? A few days ago, there were rumors that I fell and was unconscious, and today it is rumored that the second young master of Pang Jiating followed the action of the imperial army and suffered an accident, which is a rumor to slander my Pang family. ”

"Since President Pang doesn't believe it, I didn't say it, but if you want to find out whether the rumors are true or false, it's best to ask President Pang to find someone who is reliable and inquire, if the rumors are true, you should have prepared earlier, right?"

"Prepare a sedan chair immediately, I want to go to the imperial army headquarters, whether this matter is true or not, I have to find out." Pang Shichong pushed away the two young maids who were serving him, stood up and walked out.

More than an hour later, Pang Shichong returned home with a sad face, and said to the manager with old tears: "Ting'er followed the imperial army on a mission, and was ambushed by the anti-Japanese team on the way. ”

The Pang Mansion quickly arranged a mourning hall, and the second wife of the Pang family cried like a tearful person: "Master, in order to tie up with the imperial army, you privately asked General Takeda to arrange Ting'er to be a translator, and now it's good, Ting'er is gone, and now I don't know where the corpse is, how can you tell me to live, woo woo woo ......." ”

"Madam, I'm also kind-hearted, now it's the world of the imperial army everywhere, Ting'er has just returned from studying in the island country, and he always wants to find a job for him to settle down, but who knows that he was killed by the anti-Japanese forces as soon as he became a translator, I hate that."

Besides, according to Lei Yunfeng's arrangement, when interpreter Pang returned to Qinshui City, he didn't expect to meet the communications officer Teng Bian who had fled back, and the two said a few words in surprise, but they were led by Yamamoto Staff Officer of the Takeda Brigade to the brigade headquarters.

If it weren't for the materials processed by Lei Yunfeng and the reconnaissance and survey conducted by Ichiro Yamai during this secret mission, and handed over to the commander of the Takeda Brigade, it would have been difficult for him to escape the torture and scrutiny of the Japanese military police.

In this way, he was not easily released, but was interrogated by the chief of staff of the brigade Ono for more than an hour, and according to the words explained by Lei Yunfeng, Translator Pang explained everything that happened to the Yamai Ichiro special operations detachment in Dongguling, and he could not be detailed in every detail, and he could not withstand scrutiny. Beautiful

Although the cunning Chief of Staff Ono was able to find some untruths from Translator Pang's statement, he did not break it and ordered Translator Pang to be temporarily imprisoned.

He reported the confessions of the interrogators Teng Bian and Pang Yuting to the commander of the Takeda Brigade and expressed his suspicions.

The commander of the Takeda Brigade repeatedly studied the confessions of these two men, as well as the information obtained from the secret investigation and survey conducted by Ichiro Yamai handed over by Pang Yuting, and frowned and said:

"Ono-kun, according to the confession and the information handed in, it is true that the main forces of the National Revolutionary Army and the Eighth Route Army have not been found in Dongguling, and this time the Yamai Ichiro special reconnaissance and survey detachment was pursued and killed by a short and capable anti-Japanese armed force, what does it mean?"

"General Takeda, according to the information obtained, this very effective anti-Japanese armed force that suddenly appeared near Dongguling was committed by the plainclothes team of the Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army deployed on the western front of Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Why? This kind of weaponry and equipment is extremely good, and the combat effectiveness is very strong, the action is fast, and the means of attack are tricky, even the specially trained mountain well squad encountered them, almost all of them were annihilated, I suspect that this is a special anti-Japanese force with a mysterious identity, and they will never be directly subordinate to the Northwest Army and the Eighth Route Army. ”

When Chief of Staff Ono heard General Takeda say this, he not only remembered his high school classmates, but also the person mentioned in the previous day's newsletter by General Toshio Nagano, Chief of the Special High Division of the Japanese Garrison Command in Shanghai.

He looked at Takeda Bing Ichisuke and said with some hesitation: "Takeda-kun, I thought of a person, but because there is no basis, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Ono-kun, if you have something to say, this is an extraordinary time for war, and every suspicion and legend that seems small has the potential to trigger the greatest intelligence effect, I hope you don't keep saying it."

"Ha Yi, I suspect that the commander of this special anti-Japanese unit that suddenly appeared in Dongguling to chase and kill the Shanjing detachment should be the Lei Yun Peak who led the 'Mantis' special operation team to infiltrate Shanghai and make a big fuss about the special high class."

"Nani? How can you think so, do you have reliable sources? Who is this Thundercloud Peak, please explain it to Ono-kun. ”

Chief of Staff Ono will tell all the information he knows about Lei Yun Feng from the correspondence between his high school classmate, General Toshio Kuno, and finally said: "General Takeda, if it is true that this Lei Yun Peak appears in our defense area, we must ...... it. ”

"Hmph, just a thundercloud peak, you can make waves in Shanghai, but this is the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain, he just wants to infiltrate my brigade to get information, I will also tell him to come in and out, I will definitely catch him and kill him, and avenge the martyrdom of the best warriors of Great Japan in my special reconnaissance and survey detachment."

"General Takeda, if it is really Lei Yunfeng who appeared in our war zone with the 'Praying Mantis' special operations team, although this person is young but sinister and cunning, our intelligence and the military police unit in charge of security have to guard against it."

Takeda Bing Ichisuke shook his head and sneered: "Ono-kun, I don't want to hear the name of Lei Yun Peak, and make all the grass and trees soldiers, besides, the commander of this small anti-Japanese armed force that does not necessarily appear in Donggu Ridge is Lei Yun Peak, so there is no need to make a fuss." ”

Besides, the interpreter Pang Yuting who was released walked out of the Takeda Brigade Headquarters and did not find any suspicious person following him, so he walked quickly towards his home with confidence.

He had just turned a street corner, and suddenly someone was holding a knife to his neck from behind, only to hear the cold voice of the person behind him: "Don't make a noise, cooperate with me." ”
