"As long as he's not a traitor!"
The old woman was talking to herself, and then she ignored the puppet squad leader and walked towards her house.
The squad leader of the puppet army was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that this old woman is so easy to fool and has no sense of vigilance at all?
Seeing the evil dog glaring at him not far away, the puppet squad leader did not dare to walk around for a while. Thinking that the old woman was easy to fool, he tried to ask: "Mom, can I ask you for a bowl of water?"
The old woman smiled and said: "I want to drink water, okay, just wait, I will bring you a bowl right now!"
While drinking a bowl of hot water brought out by the old woman, the puppet army squad leader asked casually: "Mom, there are wars everywhere now. Life is difficult. How is your family situation?"
"It's not bad!" said the old woman.
"I heard that the Eighth Route Army is protecting us in this area of our village. Is it true?" the puppet squad leader began to ask questions in a routine.
The old woman said: "It seems to be the case. I don't know the details. Aren't people with guns these days able to go wherever they want? No one can control us ordinary people."
"Have you never seen those Eighth Route Army soldiers?"
"I've seen them before, they don't come often."
"Then are there militiamen trained by the Eighth Route Army in our village?"
"Yes, I have!"
"how many?"
"There must be seven or eight!"
"Got a gun?"
"Young man, why are you asking so many questions?"
"It's okay, ma'am, I'm just asking casually."
…
At the same time, many people from outside the village appeared in some villages around Niukou Village, and they would more or less inquire about the militia and the Eighth Route Army from the villagers.
The villagers in each village followed Kong Jie's instructions and performed a big show together. They were not too wary of these strange faces from other villages.
Even just say whatever you ask.
In this way, the plainclothes team and traitors sent by the Japanese army quickly obtained a lot of intelligence information about the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Niukou Village.
The performance of the villagers in the Niukou Village area gave the Japanese army a general feeling that there was nothing special about it, and it was no different from regular villages. For the Eighth Route Army, these villagers did not show anything special. enthusiasm.
Soon after, the intelligence collected from all aspects was placed at the headquarters of Japanese commander Ishii Haraichi.
"Senior, this is the final result of the intelligence we collected about the Independent Regiment during this period. Take a look, there is also a detailed map of the Niukou Village area drawn by the intelligence department below."
Inside the headquarters, Ishii Haraichi handed the document in his hand to Yamamoto Kazuki aside and said.
Yamamoto nodded, took the document, and browsed it carefully.
"The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was supposedly founded in the spring of 1939 and is a non-regular combat group of the National Army within the Eighth Route Army.
There were less than a thousand people in the original establishment, the equipment was backward, and ammunition was scarce. The first regiment commander is now the regiment commander Kong Jie.
Li Wenying, the former political commissar, died in the encounter between the Independent Regiment and Bantian Regiment.
In the Battle of Cangyunling, the Independent Regiment launched a breakthrough from the front and killed the Bantian Regiment's headquarters with one shot, and combined with the New 1st Regiment, the 771st Regiment, and the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army to defeat the Bantian Regiment. During the battle, the entire regiment Show strong cohesion and combat effectiveness.
During the Taihang Eighth Route Army's large-scale raid, the Independent Regiment captured the stronghold of Yangquan and used the cavalry to surprise Qu County. They then blocked the Yamazaki Brigade at the front line and destroyed the Yamazaki Brigade at Lijiapo.
When the imperial troops supported Li Jiapo, the independent regiment took the lead in launching a counterattack, destroying the imperial reinforcements all the way, and went straight to the arsenal in the hinterland of the North China Security Army, seizing a large amount of supplies from the field hospital, as well as a large amount of equipment and equipment in the arsenal.
During this battle, Du Aiguo, commander of the First Regiment of the Third Group Army of the North China Security Army, was captured, led his troops to surrender, and now serves as the commander of the Fifth Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
It is speculated from this that the current main combat force of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is at least more than 2,000 people, and is suspected to be close to 3,000 people.
The overall cohesion is strong, morale is high, soldiers are highly trained, and the proportion of veterans is high.
In terms of firepower configuration, since the independent regiment has not subsequently participated in regiment-level operations, exact data cannot be obtained.
It is speculated based on the combat conditions of the independent regiment during the robbery of the imperial-occupied areas, and the seizures of the independent regiment in a series of battles.
The firepower configuration of the independent regiment must be among the Eighth Route Army combat units. The well-equipped troops should be no less than the firepower configuration of the regular Shanxi-Sui Army combat units.
In addition to various types of light weapons, it is very likely to have mortars, infantry guns, and mountain cannons, but the number cannot be determined for the time being.
The current garrison area of the Independent Regiment is the front and back sections of Niukou Village, and the middle section is occupied by the villagers of Niukou Village. There are militia foundations in the villages around the base area, but they have not developed in scale.
In addition, after investigation, it was found that the military-civilian relationship between the independent regiment and the villagers in the surrounding villages was not very close. The people neither rejected nor welcomed the Eighth Route Army's garrison in Niukou Village. "
That's everything on the file.
Then there is a detailed map of Niukou Village and the surrounding villages. Every mountain road and stream is clearly marked on the map.
After Yamamoto read the document and looked up again, Ishii Haraichi asked: "Senior, what do you think of this information?"
Yamamoto said: "The information is still a bit single. We still know nothing about the specific troop deployment of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in Niukou Village. In addition, I think further verification is needed to determine whether the information at hand is true or false."
Ishiihara smiled and said: "Senior said that, on this point, senior and I have the same view."
"As for verification, the Nationalist Army's 311st Regiment has always followed Chiang Kai-shek's policy of settling domestic affairs before resisting foreign aggression, and has always been at odds with the Eighth Route Army. Perhaps we can get information from them."
…
…
Independent regiment.
Regiment Headquarters.
Wang An arrived and reported: "Report to the leader, regarding the internal situation of the National Army's 311th Regiment, our enemy's Ministry of Industry has investigated clearly, and we have also penetrated into the 311th Regiment."
"It's really interesting to talk about the Trinity Regiment. Apparently the commander of the regiment, Xu Houcai, has the final say. Xu Houcai seems to have some connections with the top brass of the national army, so he became the commander of the Trinity Regiment. But The actual person in charge of this Trinity Regiment is deputy commander Zhu Wenliang.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Zhu Wenliang poured into Xu Houcai. Xu Houcai basically obeyed Zhu Wenliang’s words. "
"In addition, we have also collected evidence that Zhu Wenliang secretly sold information to the Japanese many times."
"This Zhu Wenliang can basically be labeled as a traitor, but he actually puts himself in the position of a hero who resists Japan and saves the country. In addition, this Zhu Wenliang is still a filial son. Every once in a while, he must He will return to the Kuomintang-controlled area to see his old mother."
"This does give us a chance, captain, if we take action, we can take advantage of Zhu Wenliang's visit to his mother."
Kong Jie thought for a moment and said, "Without further ado, I'll go there with you."
"Yes!" Wang An responded.
Kong Jie then took the monk with him, disguised himself in advance, and sneaked into the county seat of the Kuomintang District. They waited for comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry to take action at the designated location set by Wang An.
And this designated location is actually not far from the residence of Zhu Wenliang's old mother.
...On this day, Zhu Wenliang, just like every other day, took the time to return to the county town of Guotou District to visit his mother.
Zhu Wenliang came from a single-parent family. When he was very young, his father was forcibly drafted by the government because of the war and died in the war.
His mother took great pains to bring him up.
Later, Zhu Wenliang thought that there were wars everywhere, and only being a soldier, with a gun in his hand, would be the most stable, so he decided to join the army.
In this way, after more than ten years of crawling and attacking in the army, Zhou Wenliang, who was nearly forty years old, finally climbed to the position of deputy commander of the National Army's Trinity Regiment.
As for how Zhu Wenliang, who had never attended a military academy or a private school for a few days, climbed from a top soldier to the position of deputy regimental commander, no one knows.
Zhu Wenliang entered the city with four guards beside him. This was the Kuomintang-controlled area. Zhu Wenliang had nothing to worry about. He was selling information to the Japs in private. He thought that what he was doing was very secretive and no one could know.
So when he came back here, everyone who recognized him looked at him with respect, which was the admiration of the anti-Japanese hero.
Dong dong dong——
Zhu Wenliang knocked on the wooden door of the residence, and then the wooden door opened. An old woman poked her head out from inside. When she saw Zhu Wenliang, she immediately showed a motherly smile.
"Son, you're back!"
"Well, Mom, there's nothing busy in the army at this time. I'll come back to stay with you, old man."
Zhu Wenliang said, and said to the guards: "Brothers are working hard and watching from the outside."
"Yes!" Several guards responded.
After entering the house, Zhu Wenliang supported his old mother all the way, fearing that her mother would stumble. Even an extra stone on the ground made him very worried.
"Mom, your health has never been good. Are you feeling better these days? Are you sleeping well? Are you eating well?"
"Okay, everything is fine!"
"My son still wants to hire a servant for you to help you at home."
"No need, son, mother has told you long ago that we are honest people, we have our own hands and feet, why do we need others to serve us? If you have money in your hands, why not use more to support the anti-Japanese war? Mother, a few days ago I heard what Mr. Shu said about destroying families to help people in trouble. His patriotic sentiments are so admirable that my mother couldn’t help but cry after listening to them.”
Zhu Wenliang smiled and said: "Mom, what you said is true. Although your son did not destroy the family and provide relief, your son is fighting on the front line. He may serve the party and the country at some time. He is no worse than the patriotic sentiments mentioned by the storyteller. ”
"Yes, my son is also a great hero!"
The old woman's smile became even brighter, and the wrinkles on her face turned into kindness.
"By the way, son, a few of your friends came to visit my mother just now!"
"my friend?"
"Yes, they said he was your friend. They also said that you fought bravely on the front line and killed many Japanese and traitors. You are a great anti-Japanese hero!"
Zhu Wenliang was a little confused.
I was wondering who these friends my old mother was talking about were, but I still couldn't figure out why.
At this moment, the courtyard door was knocked again.
"Mom, wait a minute, I'll go take a look."
Zhu Wenliang said, temporarily leaving his old mother behind, turned around, walked towards the wooden door of the yard, opened the wooden door, and two guards walked in with their heads lowered.
Just after the two guards walked in, the wooden door closed with a creaking sound. The moment before closing the door, Zhu Wenliang saw the backs of the other two guards standing outside the wooden door through the wooden door.
Zhu Wenliang didn't think much about it, "Er baby, what's the matter?"
Then, what Zhu Wenliang thought was Erwa looked up, revealing a dark and simple face, and a shell gun across his waist.
"Deputy Commander Zhu, long time no see!" Kong Jie said calmly.
The situation happened so suddenly, Zhu Wenliang's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately understood the situation in front of him.
The other two guards outside the door have probably been killed by the other party.
What on earth are these people here to do? Why are you here for yourself?
Zhu Wenliang's body was a little stiff when he was threatened by the gun. The monk on the side went up and took off the gun from Zhu Wenliang's waist.
The old woman's voice came from not far away, "Son, who is here?"
Kong Jie said: "Mom, it's me. I was here just now. Let's see Brother Zhu."
While talking, Kong Jie whispered: "Deputy Commander Zhu, you don't want to worry your mother, right?"
Zhu Wenliang took a deep breath, and then he realized that the friends the old mother mentioned earlier who came to see him were the group of people in front of him.
He forced himself to calm down, turned his head and shouted in the direction of his old mother: "Mom, it's windy outside. You go back to the house first. I'll talk to my friend about something."
"What's the matter? Why don't you invite your friends to sit in the house too."
"Auntie, no need. Just a few words. After talking to Brother Zhu, we will leave." Kong Jie replied.
"Now that you're done chatting, let's go inside first!"
…
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
It wasn't until he heard his old mother walking away that Zhu Wenliang looked at Kong Jie and asked with a frown.
Kong Jie said: "Kong Jie, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
Hearing this, Zhu Wenliang's body trembled slightly, and he said in shock: "It's actually Commander Kong. I've admired Commander Kong's name for a long time, but I don't quite understand. Why did Commander Kong appear here, and what do you do with me? "
Having said this, Zhu Wenliang breathed a sigh of relief. If the Eighth Route Army was at least a nominally friendly force, it should not cost him his life.
Kong Jie didn't talk nonsense to Zhu Wenliang, and went straight to the point: "If you don't want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing yourself. Deputy Commander Zhu has repeatedly sold important military information to the Japanese. Don't you really think that he is unaware of it?" ?”
"you……"
Zhu Wenliang was stunned. This had always been the thing that frightened him the most, but he didn't expect that the incident would come to light.
But how did the Eighth Route Army know about this?
