Chapter 744: Arrest of Japanese Spies

In the afternoon, more than two dozen border guards arrived at the Japanese Workers' and Peasants' School by car. A dozen www.biquge.info fighters scattered and surrounded the school.

The Japanese Workers' and Peasants' School was established in 1940 as a school dedicated to educating Japanese prisoners of war. The Japanese prisoners captured by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were all sent here to study. Over the years, many Japanese have been trained here. Most of these people were sent to the front to do work for the Japanese. Some people shouted to the Japanese army on the front line, and some went to work in the northeast.

The reason why Koji attaches importance to this matter is to open a gap in these spies and catch the spies sent by the Japanese.

Yes, spies sent by the Japanese.

In the past, the Japanese sent spies, all of whom were traitors, disguised as progressive students, disguised as refugees. Later, when he learned that the Japanese Workers' and Peasants' School in Yan'an City trained Japanese cadres, and that a similar training institution had been established in Northeast China, he sent spies to break into it.

Xiaolu is worried that now, the situation in the northeast is stable, but there have been some cases that the security services have not been able to solve. It is suspected that there are some deeply buried spies, and some of them are supposed to be Japanese spies.

Sun Weishiyong's future information, researched the spy war during the anti-Japanese war, and found that there was information about the Japanese army sending spies to Yan'an, so he proposed to Xiaolu to investigate the matter. Xiaolu asked her to provide information to Yan'an, and asked Yan'an to investigate. Later, Yan'an worked hard to investigate, and it worked.

This time, it was to catch these Japanese spies. Leading the team was Wang Fan, the deputy director of the border guard.

The principal of the Japanese school had already been notified and whistled to gather all the students. After a while, more than 200 colleges of the school gathered on the playground.

One of Wang Fan's clerks took out a page of paper and said, "Those who read their names will be listed." Then, he began to read the list, and read more than a dozen names in one breath.

A dozen people stepped forward. Everyone's expressions were different, a few people had purple faces, some had pale faces, and three or four people had no changing faces.

The surrounding vigilant fighters swarmed up and arrested them. None of the dozen or so resisted.

Wang Fan announced: "Dear teachers and students, we have evidence to prove that these fourteen people are spies sent by the Japanese military spy agency stationed in China. You are not, do not be afraid. We won't arrest them when we don't have proof. We don't wronged a good person, and we don't let a bad person go. Don't be afraid, everyone. In addition, if you are sent by an espionage agency, we will not embarrass you if you voluntarily turn yourself in. ”

Xiao Lu knew that there were fourteen of them, and it was so easy to catch them, it was too unchallenging.

The spies interrogated overnight, and eleven of them were recruited in less than two hours of interrogation, while the remaining three were not recruited at all.

These eleven confessed to not professional spies, but ordinary soldiers. The Japanese military department selected them from ordinary soldiers and sent them semi-compulsorily by the Japanese military department with bonuses, medals, employment, and family livelihood guarantees as bait.

The main task of the spies was to grasp the actual situation of the anti-war alliance, incite the members of the Japanese anti-war alliance to flee, and assassinate the leaders of the anti-war alliance.

Eleven spies, nine Japanese, two Koreans. During the workers' and peasants' school, they used false identities, and no one knew that they were Japanese.

The methods of these 11 spies to infiltrate the liberated areas, some disguised themselves as fugitives, claiming that they could not stand the atrocities of their superiors in the Japanese army and fled from the Japanese army; Some disguised themselves as laggards and could not keep up with the large army on the march, some disguised themselves as the wounded and sick, and some disguised themselves as communists, hoping to come to the communist army to pursue communist ideals.

When they came in, they performed very well, their thinking was progressing, and they were excellent students. And after ordinary Japanese soldiers enter the school, their minds can't turn around, but they are inferior to these spies.

One of them is the 24-year-old Tanigawa's trip, which is on the list provided by Tohoku. The Northeast provided a list of more than a dozen people, only three were still in Yan'an, and the remaining eight, some went to Jinchaji, some went to Jinji, some went to Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu, and some went to Hebei. The border guards have already issued a notice, and all localities are taking action at the same time today.

Wang Fan personally interrogated Gu Chuan's trip, because the information given by the Northeast said that before Gu Chuan's trip to Yan'an, he and 15 other people underwent four months of special training in Yangquan, Shanxi, including the use of telegraph codes, weapons and poisons, etc., after which they went their separate ways, and he came to the Eighth Route Army disguised as a fugitive, and was sent to Yan'an to join the Liberation League.

He is the only one of the 15 people who has been arrested.

Tanigawa's mission was to assassinate the leader of the Japanese Communist Party, Nosaka Sanzo, who was in Yan'an.

Wang Fan was very polite to him, invited him to sit, and gave him water. Wang Fan said: "You are Japanese, and you have received many years of militaristic education. We will not punish you for your espionage behavior, and continue to educate you. Say, why did you accept the dispatch from the military department? ”

Tanigawa's trip: "My brothers were all killed in the war, and only my parents are still alive. They also have to do farm work. The military department promised to pay them every month, whether I was alive or dead. ”

Xiao Lu interjected: "Write down your parents' names and your home address." ”

Tanigawa's trip didn't understand the meaning of the trail, but he wrote it anyway.

Wang Fan: "We ask you to name all the 14 people who were trained with you in Yangquan, and write down their names, facial features, resumes, and home addresses. Important things, where they were sent. Wait, the more detailed the better. If we verify that it is correct, it will be treated as your meritorious service. ”

Tanigawa nodded and said, "I strive for meritorious service." ”

Xiao Lu said: "If you behave well, we will try not to let the military department know that you have been discovered by us." Your parents can also get money. ”

The remaining three spies are all in the list provided by Xiao Lu. They behaved so normally that no one believed they were spies. They have just been in Yan'an, and their thinking is stubborn and extremely reactionary. It took a long time for them to gradually convert. It's so normal. The more this is the case, the less suspicious it is.

In this case, Xiao Lu, Wang Fan and Zhou Xing quickly agreed that these three were professional spies.

Wang Fan: "It seems that there will be no results in a short period of time. ”

Zhou Xing: "If you go back this time, I'm afraid you can only take the existing information and leave." ”

Xiaolu: "Let's take a look." Retrial. ”

The next door was still interrogating, and Xiaolu looked out of the door window, looked around twice, and still made no progress. He felt like he was missing something. It seems to be an old historical source that talks about the details of the Japanese spies sent.

What details?

It seems to be intelligence. Information? It seems to be hiding somewhere. Where?

Shoes!

Xiaolu said: "I'll go in, and you two will look at the words and expressions outside the door." ”

Seeing that his face was calm, King Zhou and the others didn't know what idea he had, hoping that he would make a breakthrough.

Koji entered the interrogation room, walked directly to the Japanese spy, and said in Japanese, "You take off your shoes. ”

The Japanese spy, who was battling wits and endurance with the interrogators, suddenly saw the man in the green uniform speaking Japanese with a slight accent and told me to take off my shoes.

Shoes? Shoes!

He took his shoes off.

Xiaolu didn't care if the shoes were smelly or not, and began to inspect the shoes. He examined it carefully, and there were two people outside who were observing. After checking for a long time, this guy still hasn't changed his face.

Xiaolu said: "Give me these shoes, I'll give you a new pair of shoes, is it okay?" ”

The Spy nodded.

Xiao Lu took his shoes out of the interrogation, threw them on the ground, and entered the second interrogation room.

In the second room, he still asked the spy to take off his shoes, and when he checked them, the guy was still calm, but there was a flash of uneasiness.

Catching the hint of unease, Xiaolu continued to examine his shoe, which was the one on his right foot. I checked and checked, and suddenly, the new seam on the inside of the upper caught the attention of Koji. Xiaolu took out a knife, picked the thread, tore the cloth, and tore the second layer of cloth, which was folded paper.

There was a little sweat on the Spy's face.

Xiaolu took out the boxy folded paper and carefully unfolded it, it was all in Japanese, densely packed.

The two Zhou kings also walked in, and they saw all this outside the door.

Intelligence was discovered, and the breakthrough was opened. The border guards stepped up their scrutiny and found out his identity. This is a professional spy, he is a Taiwanese, and in order to protect himself, he also confessed to two foreign spies.

Those two men were trained with him in Taiyuan, and they were originally sent to different regions, but after blending into the Eighth Road, they were sent to the Yan'an Japanese Workers and Peasants School.

In the next two days of surprise interrogation, the three spies confessed one after another. The results of their confessions surprised Xiaolu.

Because history has changed, a large number of Japanese soldiers were captured, Yan'an, Jinchaji, Northeast China, Shandong, especially in Northeast China, hundreds of Japanese prisoners were intensively educated, and the Japanese military department trained hundreds of spies for this purpose, and sent them to different regions in a similar way. Some professional spies are mixed in, carrying out intelligence gathering, assassination, rebellion and other tasks.

By September 2, Xiaolu had a thick pile of materials.

Later, the Northeast Security Bureau used these materials to catch more than 40 professional spies and more than 300 non-professional spies in the northeast.

In the past few days, Yang Jialing convened another meeting of Xiaolu to further study the deployment of Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Ryukyu and other places.

September 2, 1944.

A telegram from the South China Bureau came. Yesterday, Japanese troops gathered in various places south of Hengyang and repelled Dong Zhentang's headquarters several times, and they organized personnel and materials at several stations along the railway line near Hengyang to prepare for an attack on Jeonju. In order to reduce losses, Dong Zhentang's subordinate task changed from active obstruction to active harassment.

Quanzhou is the first county seat in northern Guangxi, and if Quanzhou is lost, Guilin is in danger.

Yang Jialing immediately held a meeting to discuss the statewide issue.

The troops stationed in Quanzhou are Lao Jiang's descendants, the 93rd Army, and the army commander Chen Munong.

Yan'an's instructions agreed with the idea of the South China Bureau, and the strategy adopted by Dong Zhentang's troops was to attack and harass warfare, focusing on the destruction of communication lines and small-scale sparrow warfare.

This time, the conclusion of the meeting was that Dong Zhentang and Wei Guoqing's troops would unite and reap the maximum benefits here after the defeat of the Ninety-third Army. What are the benefits?

When he visited Yan'an, six Japanese spies in Yan'an confessed their actions. The 24-year-old Tanigawa's trip was one of them. His main task was to assassinate the leader of the Japanese Communist Party, Nosaka Sanzo, who was in Yan'an.
