The Zhongtong side followed the garrison to no avail, so they could only focus on the black market first. Unfortunately, even if there were American goods in the black market, they were only daily necessities such as cigarettes, cans, flour, etc., and they were all from Outflow from Wujiaba Airport. But the Central Government still refused to give up. With so many innocent people and trucks missing, they wanted to find an answer no matter what. Tangcheng, which had stayed out of the matter, was already busy at this time, because they discovered another suspicious target in the east of the city.
There is more than one possible target in the east of the city. There are three targets in Tangcheng's sights, and one of them is a government employee with a public official position. After returning from Shanghai this time, the scope of Tangcheng's inspections has always been residential areas in the city, but the government departments have been ignored by him. Suddenly finding a target with a public official position, Tang Cheng realized that this was his mistake. Tang Cheng went into battle in person this time to monitor and track the target named Zhou Qiang, so he had no time to pay attention to Zhongtong's affairs.
After three consecutive days of surveillance and tracking, Tang Cheng had figured out Zhou Qiang's activities and identified two other suspicious targets among the people he had come into contact with. By the time Zhongtong once again used channels to find the bureau for help, Tang Cheng had already followed the clues and used the two newly discovered targets to find their secret spot in the city. After receiving a call from the bureau chief, Tang Cheng was already deploying action steps. He did not plan to monitor the target for a long time like the Second Division did, and strive to achieve the effect of fishing for big fish in the long run.
On the phone, Tang Cheng learned that the Zhongtong people had gone to find the bureau chief again, and he immediately understood. "Secretary, I'm about to report the situation to you! The new Zhou Qiang I've targeted here is the suspicious target in City Secretary Corey. Through this Zhou Qiang, we have locked in the new target and found them. A den in the east of the city. As you know, my manpower is tight, so I decided to arrest them immediately and search their secret den in the east of the city."
The bureau chief knew how capable Tang Cheng was, so he had no intention of stopping Tang Cheng's actions. After giving Tang Cheng a few words, the bureau chief hung up the phone on his own initiative. Son, Zhongtong, who was waiting for the news, naturally did not get the answer they wanted. When they learned that Tang Cheng could not escape because of an action on their hands, Zhongtong could only curse in secret. An hour later, the arrest operation that Tang Cheng personally participated in ended successfully. In this secret hideout in the east of the city, Tang Cheng and the others arrested a total of four people and also seized a batch of weapons and ammunition.
As for the scattered valuables in the den, all were transported back to the military camp after Tang Cheng's instructions. Zhang Jianghe, who was sitting in the military camp, saw the team members who had gone out escorting the prisoners back one after another. According to Tang Cheng's instructions when he left, he immediately called and reported the results of the operation to the bureau chief. Tang Cheng asked Zhang Jianghe to take the initiative to report the results of the operation to the bureau chief in order to prevent the bureau chief from becoming suspicious of him. Facts have proved that his hunch was correct.
After receiving a call from Zhang Jianghe, the director, who was already suspicious, finally dispelled his doubts about Tang Cheng. After learning that the action team had successfully captured four Japanese and puppet spies and also seized a batch of weapons and ammunition, the bureau was in a good mood. At this moment, Tang Cheng, who was preparing to arrest Zhou Qiang, encountered a new problem. He found plainclothes officers from Zhongtong outside the secret hideout in the east of the city, but the other party did not find Tang Cheng. Judging from the appearance of these Zhongtong plainclothes, it was obvious that they did not appear here by chance. Tang Cheng suspected that these Zhongtong plainclothes came to the courtyard at the intersection.
Tang Cheng did not make any announcement, but asked his team members to escort the remaining prisoners back to the military camp. He led the logistics team to continue searching the place. As for Zhou Qiang, who works in the city government, Tang Cheng believes that this guy definitely doesn't know that this place has been raided. Therefore, as long as he arrives before the city government gets off work, Zhou Qiang will never be able to escape! Tang Cheng, who was standing sideways on the inside of the courtyard gate, watched the actions of the plainclothes officers at the intersection from a distance. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the courtyard at the intersection.
Is it the underground party or other forces in the city? Tang Cheng hasn't figured out the situation yet, so he can't take action rashly and can only choose to wait and see what happens. After about a cup of tea, Tang Cheng saw several plainclothes Zhongtong officers at the intersection, each of whom took out a pistol. What a pace to get this thing started! Tang Cheng, who was standing inside the courtyard gate, immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. Unexpectedly, before the cigarette butt fell to the ground, Tang Cheng heard two gunshots.
The members of the logistics team who were searching the house ran to the yard when they heard the gunshots. They were relieved when they saw Tang Cheng standing at the door of the yard with a calm face. "Go on, people from the Central Government are shooting outside!" Tang Cheng, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, just said it lightly, then turned around and paid attention to the movement at the intersection. I saw a few plainclothes officers from the Central Committee, who had already dispersed at the intersection, and started shooting at each other in the yard with their pistols.
The gunshots came one after another, gradually becoming scattered, and the residents on this street immediately closed their doors and hid. The sound of gunshots quickly attracted the police. The three policemen who happened to be running past the courtyard gate saw Tang Cheng and immediately stopped. Tang Cheng saw that one of them he recognized, so he called the three of them to stand next to him, and even took out a cigarette, and no one handed him a cigarette. "Don't move forward stupidly. I just looked at it and it seemed that someone from the Central Government fired first."
When the three policemen heard that Tang Cheng said that the person who fired the gun in front was a plainclothes employee of the Central Government, the three of them no longer wanted to join in the fun and simply smoked cigarettes and chatted with Tang Cheng. The gunfire at the intersection continued, and the plainclothes officers of the Central Military Commission were unable to do anything to deal with the people in the yard. After a while, a few people from Tangcheng saw from a distance that a few more plainclothes people had arrived at the intersection, and the situation gradually turned around. With a loud bang, the bag thrown into the yard by the Zhongtong plainclothes exploded, and several Zhongtong plainclothes who were shouting finally rushed into the yard.
The originally sparse gunshots became denser in an instant as these plainclothes officers rushed in. Then Tang Cheng and the others saw that the plainclothes officers who had rushed into the yard emerged from the yard with embarrassed faces. Withdrew. "Haha, the people of Zhongtong are not good! They have already used hand grenades, how can they be pushed back!" Tang Cheng threw away the cigarette butts held between his fingers, and did not forget to tease the people of Zhongtong for their low abilities.
The three policemen standing next to him obviously didn't have a good impression of the Zhongtong people. When they heard Tang Cheng express his dissatisfaction, the three of them also cursed a few times. Tang Cheng, who was calm on the surface but anxious on the inside, could now basically conclude that 99% of the people in the yard at the intersection ahead were members of the underground party, and they were the only ones with such fighting power. Seeing that they were defeated, the plain-clothes officers quickly moved in reinforcements. Under the joint attack of more than 30 plain-clothes officers, they finally rushed into the courtyard.
In the following time, Tang Cheng watched from a distance as the proud plainclothes officers of the Central Government moved several corpses out of the yard one after another. However, Tang Cheng did not notice that these plainclothes officers of the Central Government had captured them alive. Preferring death rather than surrender seems to be the first choice of most underground party members when encountering a crisis. Tang Cheng, who controlled his mood, looked at the situation at the intersection without changing his expression, looked at the plainclothes Central Committee officers coming out of the yard, and silently took note of their faces.
A breeze blew, and Tangcheng, who was just downwind, vaguely heard that some of the plainclothes men at the intersection had made an appointment to go to the Hongyun Restaurant in the south of the city for a drink in the evening. Thinking of the corpses that those plainclothes officers of the Central Government carried out from the courtyard at the intersection, Tang Cheng felt a faint murderous intention in his heart. The Zhongtong plainclothes officers at the intersection gradually dispersed. Seeing that it was almost time for the city government to get off work, Tang Cheng called on the logistics team members in the yard to leave together. Half an hour later, Tang Cheng and others took Zhou Qiang back to the military camp.
After handing Zhou Qiang to his team members to be imprisoned first, Tang Cheng went to Zhang Jianghe's office, pretending to be unintentional, and told Zhang Jianghe what he had seen before. "Uncle, do you think those plainclothes officers from the Central Government are still tracking down their batch of lost supplies? I heard that their plainclothes officers are going crazy these days, looking for trouble for black marketeers everywhere. Maybe The scene I just watched was when they cornered the black marketeers, and then a melee broke out."
Tang Cheng deliberately described what he had seen before as a conflict between Zhongtong's plainclothes officers tracking down black marketeers, just to avoid Zhang Jianghe being wary of him. Zhang Jianghe immediately became nervous when he heard this, because he clearly remembered that Chongqing's underground party organization had a contact point in the east of the city. But he couldn't ask Tang Cheng directly because he was worried that Tang Cheng would find out his other identity. Tang Cheng didn't know what Zhang Jianghe was thinking. He only informed Zhang Jianghe of the matter according to his own wishes.
After get off work, Zhang Jianghe went to the tavern at the entrance of the small street. After buying cooked food, he passed the news from Tang Cheng to the tavern owner. The owner of the tavern was also shocked when he heard this. Although the tavern did not have direct contact with the Chongqing underground party organization, he also knew that the Chongqing underground party organization had a contact point in the east of the city. The incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible for him to immediately contact the Chongqing underground party organization to inquire about the matter, so he could only use Zhang Jianghe's channels to find out the detailed inside story.
Military commanders will naturally pay attention to the actions of Zhongtong in the city, just like the actions of military commanders will also be paid attention to by Zhongtong. It was already nightfall when Zhang Jianghe inquired about the specific inside information. He learned that the Central Government had indeed cracked a stronghold of an underground party organization in Chongqing today and had killed many underground party members. Zhang Jianghe was in a very bad mood. But what he didn't know was that Tang Cheng, who had stayed in the military camp to interrogate the prisoners, was not in the military camp at the moment, but appeared outside the Hongyun Restaurant in the south of the city.
