In the eyes of ordinary people, the town is very well-guarded, but in the eyes of monkeys, it is full of loopholes.
Unfortunately, the bright moonlight made it difficult for the injured monkey and Yang to move around in the middle of the night.
There is a sign on the door of the torture chamber, and the monkey is climbing on the roof, moving very slowly because one of his hands is injured.
There were a lot of torture instruments in the room. There were two people sitting behind a long table, one was a police officer and the other was a Japanese who came after getting the news. Standing next to him was an officer from the security regiment.
Zhou Lan's brother had his hands tied and was half hanging on a beam. His body was covered in blood and it looked like he had been used.
"You'd better tell your accomplices honestly, otherwise they will be shot tomorrow."
The Japanese are impatient. These rebellious Chinese are hard-core. Until now, they still haven’t figured out the origin of this guy’s name.
But it didn't matter. It would be better if he could lure out his accomplices, but he didn't have high hopes and specially invited senior police officers from the county to help solve the case.
The policeman finally read the file. It was only a few pages long, but included the details of the murder, the security captain's recent investigation, and whether there was any enmity.
He raised his head and took a closer look at the tied man. He couldn't help but frown, but he didn't ask. He handed a cigarette to the devil next to him, lit it together, and took a few puffs.
After a long while, the policeman lazily finally asked the tied young man: "Don't think that if you don't tell us, we won't know. You also know that killing people on the street is either a vendetta or a love killing. And the security captain, who recently captured Zhoujiacun There is evidence that the old man of the Maintenance Association is a communicator, so I think you are seeking revenge, young man."
After speaking, he deliberately stopped and watched the young man's reaction carefully.
It was obvious that the tied young man's body trembled.
Nodding with satisfaction: "I heard that the whereabouts of a son and a daughter named Zhou are unknown. So, let me guess, is your surname Zhou?"
The young man finally raised his head, his eyes full of anger.
"You killed someone for revenge, didn't you?" The policeman exhaled a puff of smoke.
The young man finally raised his head and said nothing.
"If you don't say anything, then we can arrest all your relatives immediately. By then, all of you will be connected to the Eighth Route Army. You know the consequences." The policeman was in a good mood and his judgment was accurate. As for intimidation, although he couldn't do it , but the devil can do it.
"My surname is Zhou. It is only natural to avenge my father. If I have the ability, I will attack an old man." At this moment, the young man vomited blood and had to register his own number.
"Young man, as long as you explain the matter clearly, we can still consider giving you a chance."
"Killing for life. He killed my whole family. I'll kill him to take revenge. If you want anything, just come. Grandpa frown, you son of a bitch."
"Young man, you can't say that. In this place, everyone has to abide by the rules, right? As long as you tell who your accomplices are, we can consider it at our discretion and deal with it leniently."
"I am a good man who is responsible for his work. If you want to kill him or chop him into pieces, it's up to you."
"Young man, don't be so harsh. You have no other way out now except to reveal your accomplices. You are not afraid of death. You have to think about your relatives, right?" The policeman looked like he was a veteran in handling cases.
"I gave you a chance, but if you don't seize it, there's nothing I can do about it." The policeman closed the document and said, "We have already contacted the superiors, and we have clearly investigated what you did."
Kill a small security captain. This policeman has just arrived. It's just deception. There is an investigation of the Zhou family in the file. It is known that young people named Zhou who went to study in the provincial capital have most likely joined underground organizations. Either the National Army or the Eighth Route Army.
Even if he confesses, the person who made the meritorious service is someone from the provincial capital, and he can't get anything out of it. It doesn't matter if the person named Zhou says it or not. Being able to be found out is the icing on the cake.
"Think about it carefully. If you tell us, we will keep it a secret for you and no one else will know, right? In this way, you can still save your life. If you die, there will be nothing. Your sister will have no one to take care of her. As a result, What will happen, haha, it’s hard to say.”
The police kept tempting.
This time the young man raised his head, looked directly at the questioning policeman, and was mentally prepared: "Bah, you are a traitor."
"I'll give you one night to think about it." After the policeman finished speaking, he was not angry. He stood up and looked at the Japanese man next to him, indicating that he had finished asking.
"Wang Sang, you're pretty good. Just look at the file and find out the whole story. You, this one." The Japanese soldier raised his thumb.
After leaving the house, the Japanese invited the policeman to drink.
"I've seen a lot there. If he doesn't say anything in the morning, he will be tortured again. However, based on my experience, at least half of the people will speak up in this situation."
Several people turned into a lighted room.
The monkey slid down the wall from the backlit roof with one hand, made some noise, calmly imitated a cat's meow, and hid next to a parked motorcycle in the yard of the town office.
As long as the Japs don't kill people directly tonight, they will have a chance. Then they have to wait until everyone goes to sleep.
Zhou Cheng was struggling fiercely in his heart. Although he got permission from his superiors to return to his hometown this time, he didn't expect that he would be blocked by traitors on his way to escape. He smiled bitterly.
Thinking back on the past, I vowed not to betray the organization no matter what, humming an exciting song in a low voice to defeat the invasion...
Be firm in your faith and wait for your destiny to come.
The monkey rolled forward and entered the gloomy corridor, looking carefully at the distant roof where the big man Yang was holding a machine gun.
He waved to him.
⋯
Zhou Cheng limped slowly and walked slowly on the road outside the town. As if in a dream, was the organization arranging a rescue?
Soon after, the pain in his tortured legs made him unable to walk: "Comrade, I really can't walk anymore."
"Your sister is right in front. She can't walk this far. She's very timid. She dares to go to the traitor's den alone and kill her."
The big man carrying the machine cursed and returned, put him on his back, took the machine gun held by the little man, and quickly disappeared into the bushes under the moonlight.
Under the oil lamp.
Ding Deyi believed that he would not be mistaken. He knew very well what kind of person Hu Yi was. Hu Yi looked low-key on the surface, but his military ability was probably second only to the regiment leader. In the fight against the enemy, he was more powerful than the regiment. Longer and more public.
Hu Yi's joining the Eighth Route Army must have nothing to do with his faith, but it definitely has something to do with Su Qing. Su Qing's belly was bulging and the problem was a bit complicated.
I felt heavy after seeing the re-buried hundreds of people's graves.
It wasn't until I visited the underground fortifications of Jiulian Company that I felt a little better.
On the other hand, Su Qing's situation was a little complicated. Maybe he had let it go before and was responsible for it, so he shouldn't have solved the matter as soon as possible.
"Political commissar, what else do you want?" Su Qing, who was called, looked at the political commissar and raised his head to ask.
Ding Deyi smiled reluctantly, pointed to the broken teapot beside the table and took a sip of water: "Sit down, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be here first. Are you still used to it?"
Su Qing understood the temper of the political commissar and also smiled: "Originally, I was transferred to prepare for the armed work, and then I met the local people. I didn't expect that I would bump into the Ninth Company."
"Well, strictly speaking, you don't belong to the Independent Regiment now. I just... have something to ask you. What do you think of Hu Yi... Ninth Company?"
"Ninth Company...the situation is a bit special." Su Qing hesitated briefly before answering.
Ding Deyi looked at Su Qing and nodded: "Well, then...how is your health now?"
Su Qing was stunned. The political commissar suddenly asked about his health, and he was a little moved: "The recovery is not bad. The stitches can be removed in two days."
"Huh? Remove the stitches?"
"Yes, the last time I was injured, the shrapnel was taken out by the girl. There is no infection, so it should be fine."
Ding Deyi looked at Su Qing who was indifferent: "Are you injured?"
"I was on a mission some time ago and encountered Japanese soldiers who were escaping. One of our platoons encountered Japanese soldiers and a squad, and were injured by shrapnel from grenade explosions during the battle." Su Qing looked at the political commissar in confusion and suddenly wanted to leave. This situation was not mentioned at the meeting.
But I don’t quite understand what the political commissar meant when he said he was in a good position and was inconsistent.
Ding Deyi quickly changed the subject: "You just said that you think the Jiulian Company is in a special situation. Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"In the current situation, we need to carry out local work, but there is no one in the village here who can't carry it out. The armed work has been taken over by Xiao Xu in the enemy-occupied area. The supplementary regiment has arranged for me to be responsible for carrying out the work in this area. I really didn't know that the guerrilla brigade was seconded When I arrived at the Independent Regiment, the work was not going smoothly." Su Qing lowered her head thoughtfully. She did not answer the political commissar's question about the Ninth Company, but instead brought up the matter of the armed task force.
Ding De's heart was relieved. It turned out that Su Qing was not pregnant, and his mood immediately improved. He quietly looked at Su Qing, who was lowering his head and unconsciously writing on the paper with a pencil.
After waiting for a while, he turned his attention to the moonlight outside the door again: "The Ninth Company will serve as the armed part of the work team. You will be responsible for the local work. Lao Meng and the others are very familiar with this place. We will set up a shelf first and the specific personnel arrangements will be made. Execute what was announced this morning.”
The political commissar thought very clearly and shouted to the door: "Xiaodou, go and call Hu Yi back."
After Hu Yi entered the room, he saw the political commissar sitting at the top smiling at him. He put down the teapot in his hand and pointed to the stool: "Sit down first."
Hu Yi was a little strange. The political commissar called Su Qing alone and his attitude towards him completely changed. There must be something he didn't know about. After thinking about what happened during this period, he didn't seem to find anything wrong.
Su Qing was taken away by the investigation team, and later went to the supplementary regiment. The girl asked Commander Lu to find the military division to lend the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade to the independent regiment. This was not a small matter, and it involved the adjustment of the defense zone, so it must be reported to the division.
Being able to transfer Su Qing to the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade inexplicably, I have to admire the girl's operation.
As for the armed task force, I have heard about it. Now I have received a cooperation mission and become the deputy captain. Things are getting more and more complicated. My fingers on the table are tapping lightly on the table unconsciously.
I am a soldier myself. None of these things will be easy. I am not familiar with local work. I only have Li Youcai in intelligence work. Others are catching blind people. Of course, I have dealt with Li Youde and Jianjiu's gang. I don't know anything else. clear.
The political commissar called him here again. He must have something to explain. There was no need to guess. With the character of the political commissar, he would not leave it undisclosed.
He raised his head and glanced at the woman next to him with her head lowered, and felt that it must have something to do with her.
"Let's study the specific work again." The political commissar said simply.
Hu Yi was thinking about it and was a little distracted. Suddenly he heard the political commissar speak again and quickly listened carefully.
Su Qing also realized that he had lost his composure. He raised his head and glanced at Hu Yi opposite him expressionlessly, feeling that the political commissar seemed a little strange.
Ding De paused and smiled: "It's not easy to carry out work now, but our first step was good. At least we got a foothold."
Hu Yi blurted out: "I think... we can't be optimistic yet. Two soldiers in our team ran eastward, but we haven't found them yet."
"Uh, is there anything else?"
"When those two guys left, they saw...all the villagers buried in a graveyard in the village. They secretly ran away to find the ghost to settle accounts. They have been gone for several days, but we have stepped up our precautions."
"Since you think so, let's talk about this later." The political commissar thought for a while. Although he felt that there was still a risk, he couldn't just move out with the two of them: "From now on, the team will also be dispersed, and we can't all stay." In the village, don’t let the Japanese take advantage of you when the time comes.”
Hu Yi was stunned: The political commissar was right, but he was still careless.
"Now that the Armed Task Force has been set up." Ding De paused for a moment, changed the topic and laughed at himself: "The headquarters ordered that the Armed Task Force must be led by cadres above the battalion, but who said that our regiment is poor, even a battalion There is no director, so I will take charge of it personally for the time being."
"After you come out, what will happen in the group?"
"I can't stay here forever, so there are two deputy captains. You and Lao Meng will concurrently serve as commanders of the ninth company and be responsible for the armed department. Lao Meng will be responsible for local work. Su Qing will be the instructor, responsible for enemy work, propaganda, At the same time, he is responsible for the establishment of local government. Now we are launching a large-scale production movement. This matter can only be led by Lao Qin. Do you have any opinions?"
"No opinion." Hu Yizhong and Su Qing looked at each other and replied in unison.
The political commissar made adjustments to the arrangements he had made with Commander Lu: "Since Captain Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade has died, I am going to let Lao Meng, the deputy captain, be the captain."
"You don't need to ask me about this, right?" Hu Yi thought about it and answered.
"Now the work is even heavier. There are almost three teams, and we have to respond to the orders from our superiors to streamline our troops and streamline our administration. I am also planning to let Lao Qin also serve as the instructor of the guerrilla brigade."
The arrangement of the political commissar is full of strangeness. With this arrangement, one team must be divided into three parts. It is not surprising that the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade was merged into the independent regiment. The military division has agreed, and it is a battalion level itself. Armed work The team is also at the battalion level. If the ninth company is promoted to the battalion, it will be a regiment now! The political commissar is taking things on a grander scale.
It is obvious that the independent group has not streamlined its personnel, but wants to develop.
There is no hope for the Ninth Company to be promoted to the battalion for the time being, and the political commissar himself has taken command as the captain of the armed work team. What is going on? Needless to say, he will be the boss of the hands later.
Ding Deyi didn't care whether Hu Yi and Su Qing were stunned and had any opinions. He waved his hand and said: "Think about it. If you have nothing to add, you can discuss it first. I will write a plan later and I will take a look. I will go out for a walk first. "
After saying that, he stood up, went out, and called the guard: "Go and find me the little girl. It's not easy. I've been here all day and I haven't even seen her shadow."
The two people who were left confused, the Ninth Company, the guerrilla brigade, and the armed work team were all mixed together.
What kind of medicine is the political commissar selling in this gourd?
