After Tang Cheng returned to the military camp and told Zhang Jianghe what he saw when he left the military headquarters compound, Zhang Jianghe realized belatedly that it was someone from the Central Military Commission who went to intercede with the bureau chief. . "They say it's theirs, and we'll do ours. As long as the bureau chief doesn't stop this plan, even if the Zhongtong side does some tricks behind the scenes, we don't have to worry about it!" Tangcheng didn't change just because the bureau chief wanted to intercede with the bureau chief. Instead of being passive and slacking off, I became more motivated.
The various people in the city who were originally waiting to see what was going on could be said to have miscalculated. They never expected that the search team was determined to crack down on the arms black market this time. Although the bureau did not directly respond to its support for the search team, the action team of the Second Military Unification Division also arrested many military personnel involved in black market arms transactions in the past two days. The military commander did not respond directly, but went around arresting people for several days in a row. Anyone with a discerning eye could already tell that the military commander and the search team were working together to cause trouble.
In just one week, the arms business in Chongqing city plummeted, almost reaching a state of complete stagnation. The black market merchants who still hold arms in their hands are still in a wait-and-see state. Before receiving clear information, those of them who still have goods in hand will never dare to rush to sell goods. These black market merchants, who were worried that they would be affected, chose to stay dormant for the time being. However, Tangcheng brought his team members and began to visit these shrunken turtles one by one.
Tang Cheng came to the door on his own initiative, carrying a pistol and banknotes, asking these black market merchants, who were temporarily avoiding the limelight, to make their own choices. Facing the powerful Tang City, the black market merchants who were approached had no choice but to actively cooperate and hand over their inventory. At this point, more than 70% of the arms in Chongqing's arms black market are under Tangcheng's control. The remaining 30% of the arms that are not controlled by Tang City belong to the business shares of the four major families. Even if the bureau chief comes forward, there is probably nothing that can be done to the other party.
Tang Cheng ignored the remaining 30% of the market share because he knew that this matter had already been brought to the Chairman's side. As long as the bureau chief informs the chairman of the committee about his plan, I believe he will be willing to cooperate with him and strictly order the four major families to stop the arms business in Chongqing. Those who have always chosen a wait-and-see attitude are Chongqing's underground party organizations. They have received the news in advance and have safely evacuated those who infiltrated the black market before the search team launched a city-wide manhunt, so they did not suffer any losses this time. .
The underground party organization in Chongqing originally thought that the crackdown on the arms black market was triggered entirely by the previous attack on the chairman. However, judging from the momentum of the search team, it seems that there is no intention to stop, but the Chongqing underground party organization has become strangely quiet. Tangcheng had already conveyed the news to the senior officials of Chongqing's underground party organization through Huang Ping before the operation was launched. Although Tang Cheng did not inform him of his true purpose, Tang Cheng gave a clear time point in the intelligence. He asked the Chongqing underground party organization to ensure a one-month period of silence.
The purpose of Tangcheng's plan to set up a business is to fish out the people behind the scenes who are using the arms black market to cause trouble, or the Japanese and puppet spies related to the arms black market. Therefore, he must first ensure that there are no other troubles in Chongqing. Only in this way can the search team have enough energy to deal with what happens next. Tangcheng, which had already achieved its intended target, quickly raised the price of the black market arms with the few white gloves sent by the military commander, and there was still a price but no market.
The arms black market in the city seemed to be reopening, but no one knew that the owners who bought things from the arms black market were quickly surrounded and arrested by search teams, and then became prisoners of the military commander. The big guys in the city who originally cursed Tang Cheng for making money quickly changed their tune because they had discovered that something was wrong. Half a month later, the re-launched arms black market has fallen into sluggishness, because buyers, whether buying single items or large quantities of arms, have strangely disappeared.
By this time, everyone who was secretly watching the situation had understood. They all saw that the current arms black market was basically a big trap set by the military commanders and search teams, with the purpose of trapping arms buyers. "Captain, the third team found a suspicious target!" Tang Cheng, who had been sitting in the hotel in the city, finally received good news. Among the four tracking teams commanded by Lao Fu, one team finally discovered and identified a suspicious target during the daily tracking of arms buyers.
After receiving the report, Tang Cheng immediately rushed over with his people. As soon as he saw the target, Tang Cheng activated his system skills and quietly scanned the target's identity information. Sure enough, the target targeted and tracked by Lao Fu and the others was really a Japanese spy. What Tang Cheng didn't expect was that the target targeted by Lao Fu and the others was actually a Japanese spy who had just arrived in Chongqing not long ago. After scanning the target's identity information, Tang Cheng couldn't help but reach out and rub his chin. He thought to himself that this guy had only been in Chongqing for a few days, so why did he want to buy arms on the black market?
"What did the target buy from the black market?" Tang Cheng, who was following the target from a distance, suddenly asked Lao Fu who was walking beside him. When Lao Fu heard this, he was just stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled it in his mind, and then reported in a low voice to Tang Cheng what the target bought from the black market. Knowing that the target only purchased a pistol and a small amount of bullets, Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel doubtful. He wondered if the Special High School had sent people to move to Chongqing. Didn't they arrange someone in advance to meet them in the city? ,
Almost all of the Japanese and puppet spies captured by the search team in the city received weapons and equipment from their handlers as soon as they entered Chongqing. The target in front of me, who just came to Chongqing at the age of 3, actually has no channels to obtain weapons, and has to spend money to buy weapons from the black market. Is there something going on here that I don't know about? After thinking about it secretly in his mind, Tang Cheng felt that this should be a direction worthy of attention, but he didn't know if there was any relevant information from the military commander.
The targets being followed by Tang Cheng and the others looked very alert, and they always made counter-reconnaissance actions from time to time along the way. The target does not know that the more alert he is, the more interested he will be in the search team, because it has been a while since they have fought against the cunning Japanese and puppet agents. After some alternating tracking, Tang Cheng watched the target enter a hotel. By coincidence, the Buzhuang diagonally opposite the hotel happened to be the search team's intelligence store on this street.
With his own shop here, it was much easier to monitor the hotel. Knowing that the target of their surveillance in Tangcheng was the hotel diagonally opposite the shop, the shopkeeper only spent half a cigarette to find it from the cellar in the backyard. Summary of information related to this hotel. "The hotel opposite has been open for six or seven years. The three sons of the hotel owner all went out to Sichuan to fight with the Sichuan army. Two of the sons died in the battle, and the youngest son was injured and was sent back just a few days ago."
After learning that the hotel owner had sent all three of his sons to the army to fight, Tang Cheng's first thought was to rule out the possibility that the hotel owner was a traitor. But the last record in the intelligence summary made Tang Cheng secretly vigilant. Especially when he saw that the youngest son in the hotel was not sent back by the military, but by two so-called comrades, Tang Cheng felt in his heart I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. "Send someone to send this to the Second Military Command and ask them to immediately send someone to investigate the two comrades of the younger son in the hotel."
Tang Cheng wrote a note and asked Lao Fu to send someone to the military command headquarters immediately. Although Lao Fu didn't understand Tang Cheng's intention at the moment, looking at Tang Cheng's expression, Lao Fu knew there must be something wrong. An hour later, a call came into the store, and the caller asked for Tang Cheng by name. Tang Cheng, who had already disguised himself as a store clerk, picked up the phone with a calm expression, only to realize that the caller was actually the bureau chief.
"Yes, I now suspect that among the injured officers and soldiers returning to Chongqing from the front line, there may be hidden Japanese and puppet spies with borrowed identities, or even Japanese soldiers with active military positions!" Faced with the inquiry from the Bureau, Tang Cheng did not flinch. Instead, express your doubts directly. "The target we are staring at now is a wounded soldier who just returned to Chongqing from the front line. He just bought a pistol from the black market. This is the main reason why we are focusing on him."
On the phone, Tang Cheng carefully explained the situation collected by the store manager to the person on the other end of the phone to prove that his suspicions were not unreasonable. "Secretary, during the Battle of Songhu, it happened that the Japanese army disguised themselves as the national army and attacked the national army headquarters and transportation lines. As you are in charge of the intelligence department, you should be more aware of the Japanese and puppet spy agencies. The infiltration into Kuomintang-controlled areas has never been interrupted."
"The Japanese and puppet spies in Chongqing were severely beaten by us, and many Japanese and puppet intelligence teams lurking in the city were broken up by us. If they want to restore contact with these scattered intelligence personnel, they must continue to send people to infiltrate . Pretending to be a wounded soldier should be a good idea. At least pretending to be a wounded soldier gives you a lot of room for maneuver when checking your identity. Just like the target we are targeting now, there may be no problem with the wounded soldiers he escorts back. , but who can prove that he has no problems?"
Tang Cheng's words made the person on the other end of the phone not respond for a long time. Because he knew that what Tang Cheng said was possible was not impossible. But now he has no way to respond to Tangcheng, because wounded soldiers return to Chongqing from the front line almost every day, and there are a lot of them. It is definitely not easy to fully check the situation of these wounded soldiers.
