After the discussion, the identities of these guys from the charcoal factory were exposed, and they went back to designate to be arrested, and asked them to take the children of the Wu shopkeeper and withdraw to the mountains.

The prisoner of the devil is also not angry, he was not saved, and he died! I still want to get more information from his mouth, so I hung it up, and I was carried to the field to dig a pit and buried it.

Yang Bangzi handed over the three documents and military uniforms of the devils brought from Tang County, and the documents and guns of the devils found in the charcoal factory to the Kanto family as seizures.

Seeing that the guns are not new, and seeing the documents of this group of plainclothes devils, Comrade Lao Guan's eyes lit up! Now the plan is coming! When it was time to hold the lamp, the news came, and the party organization in Baoding asked Yang Bangzi and them to disguise themselves into the city.

Lao Guan also said his plan, that is, let Yang Bangzi and them disguise themselves as beggars, bring the documents of these devil agents, and pretend to be devil agents to sneak into Baoding City, afraid that Yang Bangzi and they are not familiar with the road, he has arranged it, and someone will show them the way tomorrow morning, let them dress up, and wait on the official road in the east of the town.

After the gunfire in the charcoal factory, although the devils heard the sound and came quite quickly, but when they arrived, there was a fire from the gate to the courtyard! The fire in the charcoal factory is not the same as other places, there are so many coals and charcoal piled up in the yard, and there is coal dust everywhere.

After finally extinguishing the fire, I searched for a long time, but except for a dozen charred corpses, nothing was found. After dawn, it was reported to the military police headquarters in Baoding, and it was not until the afternoon that several officers were sent to inspect the scene, and a few bullet casings were found after checking around. Valuable clues are gone.

The scene was burned to the ground. The corpses were burned to black charcoal. Nothing was found, and none of the living people in the charcoal factory were found, and it is suspected that they were all killed or burned here. The devil felt strange about this matter, so he could only block the scene and report it back to Baoding to deal with it.

As for the spies who were killed by Yang Bangzi, they belonged to a single line of contact with their superiors, and this time they came out to carry out the mission before they agreed to go back on a mission, so their killing did not attract the attention of the devil garrison, after all, they were not the gendarmes who reported to the garrison with their public identities.

Here, we have to spend next week to talk about why Comrade Lao Guan's eyes lit up when he saw the devil's documents. Because the documents of these devils show that they belong to a very secret Japanese army, and they are an organization specially used by devils to deal with the Communist Party, and they have a very special name, called "Northern Special Police".

It is necessary to open a block page for popular science interpretation, always talking about the devil gendarmerie and the special high-tech, but how did these guys come about, what did they do, and what happened to them, I'm afraid few people can explain it clearly, and provide you with some information. After reading it, you will understand.

The full name of the "North China Special Police" is the North China Special Garrison, which is a special agent organization under the Intelligence Department of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, which specializes in sabotaging the Communist Party of China and other anti-Japanese organizations. Since it is also directly under the armed forces, it is generally referred to as a special forces to the outside world.

The predecessor of this unit was the "Gendarmerie in China." As early as before the July 7 Incident, in the Japanese army's Chinese garrison, there were generally more than 20 gendarmes at the wing level stationed at the unit level and below, and this gendarme was not only in charge of military discipline within the army, but also mainly used to deal with the common people and anti-Japanese elements in the vicinity of the station.

By June 1936, when the Japanese army was preparing for a full-scale war of aggression against China, the Japanese army headquarters set up a "military police unit in China" subordinate to the commander of the Chinese garrison in Tuntun, which was headquartered in Tianjin and had subordinate subordinate units to the Beiping and Tianjin military police detachments and detachments in Tongzhou, Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao, Tanggu, and Tangshan.

Before the Lugou Bridge Incident in June 1937, the Japanese Army Headquarters added a "special high section" to the establishment of the military police, specializing in espionage work. With the establishment of the "Special High Division", the strength of the gendarmerie has also increased.

After the July 7 Incident, on August 25, 1937, the Japanese Army Headquarters issued Lu Jia Order No. 13, officially promulgating the temporary establishment of the "Chinese Military Police Garrison", stipulating a total quota of 237 people. The headquarters of the team is located in the Tianjin Japanese Concession, and the general captain is Ohno Osa, which directly governs Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Tanggu and other detachments.

In addition, the "Special Headquarters of the Beijing Military Police" was also set up in Beiping, which was subordinate to the Tianjin Headquarters (Captain Akato Shoji Nakasa), and commanded the detachments of Tongzhou, Fengtai, Chengxi, and Chengdong of Beiping. At the same time, the 1st and 11th armies and the Mongolian Corps under the North China Front Army were also attached to the field military police and the military police station respectively.

On August 31, 1937, according to the order of the Japanese Army Headquarters, the establishment of the "Chinese Military Police Garrison" was adjusted, and the "Headquarters of the Military Police in China" was set up, with Lieutenant General Sasaki to the First Lieutenant General as the commander, and the total quota was increased from 237 to 1,624 people, and 10 gendarmerie units were included. There are 38 detachments and 1 gendarmerie training center. The 10 gendarmerie units were taken over Beiping, Tianjin, Jinan, Qingdao, Shijiazhuang, Taiyuan, Linfen, Zhangjiakou, Xuzhou, Kaifeng and other places.

Within the Gendarmerie Headquarters, there is the General Affairs Department (consisting of General Affairs, Accounting, and the First Division, with Hiroichi Ohno as the director) and the Police Department (consisting of the Second and Third Divisions, with Otsugoro Ishida as the director). The second section is responsible for military police, foreign affairs and espionage prevention, economic police, and management of undesirable Japanese; The third section is responsible for the work of "eliminating the Communist Party," strategic defense, and political police.

In November 1938, the head of the General Affairs Department of the Military Police Headquarters, Koichi Ohno, proposed the establishment of the "North China Committee for the Elimination of the Communist Party", which was adopted by the Front Army. On November 12, the "North China Committee for the Elimination of the Communist Party" was formally established, and its working organ was called the "Investigation Department" to the outside world, and it was set up in Huangcheng, Beiping.

The task of this "North China Committee for the Elimination of Communists" was to study the Third International, the relations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the "experience of suppressing the Communists in Manchuria." Jing proposed measures to the North China Front through the "Military Police Headquarters in China."

On September 4, 1939, Kenzo Kitano succeeded Sasaki as commander of the "Military Police Command in China". In early December, the North China Front Army held an intelligence work conference attended by Kitano Kenzo, which further made it clear that the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army were the fatal "scourge" of "public order" in North China, and proposed that only by breaking the Communist Party organization based on the organic integration of the military, the party, and the people can the foundation of "law and order" in North China.

After the meeting, the "Military Police Command in China" further strengthened its intelligence work aimed at the Chinese Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army. By the end of February 1940, the "Military Police Command in China," in addition to forming an intelligence network with various gendarmerie detachments and gendarmerie detachments as the backbone, had also attached a number of gendarmerie units to the first-line corps, which were distributed in more than 200 county towns and more than 300 major bases in the occupied areas, and maintained close ties with the gendarmerie intelligence network.

The main means by which the gendarmerie gathered intelligence were: first, to conduct secret postal inspections; the second is to track suspicious objects; The third is to conduct a surprise search for residents to obtain documents or espionage information, and the fourth is to conduct wired and wireless eavesdropping. According to the Japanese side, 3,000 to 5,000 "criminals" are caught by the gendarmerie every month using the above-mentioned methods.

Because the North China Gendarmerie played the above-mentioned special role, it was valued by the Japanese army invading China. On May 22, 1941, the Japanese base camp issued Lujia Order No. 17, changing the name of the "Military Police Headquarters in China" to the "North China Military Police Dispatch Team", with Yano Otozaburo as the commander, and the establishment quota was increased from 1,624 to 2,595 people, and it was organized into 9 gendarmerie teams and 1 training center in Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, Jinan, Kaifeng, Linfen, Taiyuan, Shimen, and Zhangjiakou.

On August 24, 1943, the headquarters issued Lujia Order No. 81 to change the establishment of the North China Military Police, the purpose of which was to reorganize the North China Military Police into a unit with special combat capabilities. Therefore, in the reorganization, the establishment quota was reduced to 970 people based on the principle of lean and flexible, and the name was changed to "North China Special Garrison" (referred to as the North China Special Police). The "Northern Special Police" is composed of four gendarmerie units in Beijing, Jinan, Taiyuan, and Zhangjiakou. (To be continued......)
