Chapter 140: Spy War
At the beginning of 1938, in order to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway and connect the battlefields of North China and Central China, the Japanese army expanded its aggression and adopted the policy of advancing from the north to the south and attacked Xuzhou. In May of the same year, after a bloody battle, Xuzhou was declared to have fallen.
During the more than a year when the Japanese army was stationed in Xuzhou, in view of the very important strategic location of Xuzhou, the Japanese army also stationed a division here. Coupled with the rich mineral resources of Xuzhou, the Japanese army undoubtedly attaches more importance to Xuzhou.
Although Xuzhou fell to the Japanese army, they also knew the importance of this place for the Zhong Yan army. As the gateway to East China, Xuzhou itself is known as the 'thoroughfare of the five provinces'.
Even if the Zhongyan army knew that it would not be able to recover Xuzhou for the time being, it undoubtedly attached great importance to the movements of the Japanese divisions stationed in Xuzhou. In this way, there are naturally a lot of spies sent here by the Zhong Yan Army.
This time, the Japanese army's supplies were robbed in Xinyi, and the Japanese army's special high school quickly locked up a military spy who served as a secretary in the puppet government. It's just that in the process of arresting, the spy still chose to die bravely.
But even so, the Japanese army's special high school soon launched a new round of search and arrest operations, and the target was the anti-Japanese armed spy personnel lurking in the city. Among these people, there are military commanders who belong to the Zhongyan Army, and there are also underground parties who belong to the Eighth Route Army.
In cooperation with the spies of Wang's puppet government's rebellion, the Japanese army's special high school launched a purge operation in Xuzhou. For a while, the spies of all parties lurking in the city also seemed very cautious, for fear that one day the little devils and pseudo-spies would come to the door.
In the face of the spy war in Xuzhou City, Zhao Tiehu, who was far away in Maling Mountain, felt that this was an opportunity. An elite special operations team was dispatched from the base to carry a radio station to secretly station in Xuzhou City to further expand the intelligence network of the wolf warriors in Xuzhou.
Wolf nose is the code name of the Wolf Warrior Intelligence Network. And before that, Wolf Nose had already successfully lurked in Xuzhou City. When the special operations team arrived, Wolf Nose also deliberately stirred up the water more violently.
Just as the Japanese puppet spies were strictly investigating the spies lurking in Xuzhou City, the leader of the puppet spies in Xuzhou City was shot dead on the road of the city's garrison in broad daylight. This news undoubtedly made the Japanese puppet spies in the city very angry.
When the nearby Japanese troops began to round up, they only saw a note left at the scene, which said 'The fate of the traitor'. The plainclothes agents who cooperated with the Japanese army in the round-up soon realized that this was the military commander's action team retaliating.
After all, in the past few days, the special agents in the city, as well as the pseudo-agents who cooperated with them in the search, have also arrested many spies of the military command. Many of them were bribed and rebelled by this spy captain.
The head of the Japanese Army's Special High Division, who was in charge of intelligence affairs in Xuzhou, immediately said: "Check, according to the clues we controlled earlier, continue to dig, and be sure to dig out all the enemy spy personnel lurking in Xuzhou City!" ”
It's better to kill the wrong than to let it go!
When the little devils and pseudo-spies launched a large-scale arrest around some of the information they had reconnoitred earlier. Not to mention, they really found a big fish, and a team leader of the military command was quickly dug up by them.
After interrogating this piece of information, the commander of the Japanese military agency immediately said: "If you catch him alive, you must not let him escape!" As long as we catch the person in charge of this military commander in Xuzhou, we will be able to destroy the spy organization of the Zhong Yan Army in Xuzhou! ”
'Hey! ’
Just as the Japanese puppet army was secretly rounding up, there happened to be two hidden agents of the military command, intending to ask for instructions on the current situation. As a result, it was clear that the three military commanders were surrounded by little devils in a small building.
'Team leader, why did the little devil find him?' Damn, someone must have betrayed us, let's fight with the little devils! ’
'You get out the back door, I'll burn the papers.' These documents can't fall into the hands of little devils! ’
'No, Captain, you can withdraw first!' After Xiao Liu and I, we will definitely drag down the little devil. I looked at it just now, and there was just a barrel of gasoline and a few grenades in the house, enough for the little devil to drink a pot! ’
Seeing the two subordinates urging him to leave and choosing to cover behind the palace, the captain of the military commander in Xuzhou seemed a little moved. After burning some important documents, he escaped through the back door with a pistol in his hand.
As a result, not long after he walked out of the back door, he saw plainclothes agents guarding the alley behind. Looking at these spies who appeared, this captain also knew this place, but he was afraid that he had been surrounded by the Japanese puppet legion.
Not wanting to sit still, he heard the fierce gunfire already ringing out at the front door and knew that time was running out. Soon pulled out a gun and counterattacked, knocking a plainclothes agent who rushed to the front to the ground, and then climbed over the wall to escape from the other side.
A thumping gunfire rang out, and the captain soon heard the spy in charge of the pursuit, and someone shouted: "Be careful, the imperial army said, you want to catch it alive." Surround him, he must not be allowed to escape! ”
Hearing this, the captain also realized that the little devil would not let him die easily. In this way, maybe he still has some hope of breaking through. After climbing over the wall to one house, he climbed out of another wall of the house.
It's a pity that just after coming out of this house, he saw several plainclothes agents rushing over with guns. The team leader, who knew that he had to fight hard, could only rush over head-on and try to get into the more complicated alley on the other side.
In the process, the team leader also heard an explosion from the residence, as well as a huge flame that flew into the air. He knew that the two military commanders in charge of the palace were afraid that they had died with the little devil at this moment.
There was no time to grieve, knowing that he had to break through, let alone fall into the hands of the little devil, and the squad leader also desperately went to the alley that he had walked many times. It's just sad that every alley seems to be guarded by plainclothes agents.
What is even more tragic is that the squad leader was injured in the leg by a plainclothes agent during the battle. A shot in the calf undoubtedly made him run more slowly. The plainclothes spies who heard the news came one after another.
Just when the team leader felt that he must not fall into the hands of the little devil alive, he was about to swallow a gun and commit suicide. The squad leader who turned into an alley suddenly noticed two strangers in front of him.
Just as he was about to raise his gun, the two strangers who suddenly appeared said with cold expressions: "You are Xu Zhiluo?" ”
'I am, you are?' ’
'Good to have it in time! Come with us! You can't get out without our help! Don't ask if you have anything to say, time is pressing, come up! I'll help you take care of the wound briefly, and I'll take care of your back later! ’
Just when Xu Zhiluo felt that the appearance of these two people was very strange, he didn't know what the identity of the other party was. The sound of gunfire came from behind him, but Xu Zhiluo couldn't help but look back. It turned out that a stranger appeared at the entrance of the alley where no one had been around.
What shocked Xu Zhiluo the most was that this stranger was holding a submachine gun belonging to the National * Army and shooting wildly at the plainclothes agents who were pursuing him. Just as he turned around again, about to ask about the identities of the two people, he fainted as soon as he felt a pain in his neck.
After one of the two strangers who simply bandaged and stopped the bleeding, the other said, "Time is pressing, set a trap and prepare to withdraw!" ”
When the two fled the alley with Xu Zhiluo, who had fainted, the Japanese military police, who were previously in charge of the attack, were also attacked by unknown gunmen. Judging from the sound of gunfire, the other party also used a 38-type rifle, but the marksmanship was extremely accurate.
The gendarmes, who originally planned to join up with the puppet army agents, were directly suppressed in the alley by two riflemen who occupied the commanding heights and could not advance. When they broke through the blockade of the gunmen, they saw plainclothes agents in the alley behind them.
As for the commander of the military command team who escaped, he naturally disappeared. The Japanese army's special high class Shaozuo, who was in charge of the arrest mission, couldn't help but scold: "Baga! Damn, those people came out of that. ”
After scolding, the Japanese army Shaozo immediately said: "Pull the alarm, block all this place for me, even if you search from house to house, you must find out these gunmen for me!" Damn it! ”
When the city defense troops who heard the news began to search house to house along the place where the fire was exchanged. In the end, they found that they could not find any trace of the gunmen, and the other party had fled before they rounded them up.
Unwilling to accept the failure of the mission, the Japanese army Shaozo finally ordered the city defense troops to launch a city-wide search. Of course, it is natural not to dare to do such a thing as a door-to-door search. After all, if the big Xuzhou City, when will it be searched?
Just to prevent the other party from absconding out of the city, the special high school scattered all the plainclothes agents and kept an eye on the pharmacy in the city. According to the confession of the plainclothes agent who was alive earlier, the person in charge of the military command was shot, and he definitely needed medical treatment.
In addition, the special high school of the Japanese army also launched an investigation on strangers who have recently entered and exited Xuzhou City. In particular, the slum neighborhoods in the middle city were the focus of the Japanese army's investigation. For a time, the entire city of Xuzhou was made to fly and jump.
But even so, after two days, nothing was found. At the scene of the capture earlier, the mysterious group of people who ambushed them seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Upon hearing this news, the agents of the Japanese army's special high school were undoubtedly very depressed.
And Xu Zhiluo, who was recuperating in a basement at the moment, didn't know where he was. Just looking at the calves that have been treated, and the fact that there are people delivering meals for three meals a day, Xu Zhiluo feels that his life should be saved.
The most important thing is that no matter how he asks, the mysterious person who brought him food always smiled and said, "No hurry! You heal your injuries first, and the little devils have been searching all over the city like crazy in the past two days. What's the matter, wait for the limelight to pass! ”
From the mysterious man's words, Xu Zhiluo could somewhat judge that he should still be in Xuzhou City at the moment. As for why the little devil didn't come to search, it was not something Xu Zhiluo could know.
The only thing he can judge is that the people who saved him should have no ill will towards him. As for why he was saved, it was not something that Xu Zhiluo could know. Maybe only by waiting for the other party to take the initiative to tell him can he know why the other party saved him!
