An oil lamp was placed on the table. Under the light, Su Qing continued to write on the document until her head felt dizzy.
Looking up at Xiao Liu opposite, Commander Lu, for some unknown reason, seconded her to the Independent Regiment directly from the headquarters. At this time, he was carefully copying documents, with a few beads of sweat hanging on his calm and pretty face under the light. :
Su Qing couldn't help but turn her head and look at the darkness outside the window.
"Sister Su, were you the one who sorted out so many documents before?" Xiao Liu stopped writing and raised his head.
Su Qing came back to her senses: "There aren't many."
"Why not? The work team has too much to do. Here is just a summary. Statistics of people in each village. Now we still have to collect all the information on these traitors. We don't have enough manpower."
“We don’t know when the people arranged by the group will arrive yet, so let’s do the urgent and important things first!”
"At present, the enemy work is the most important. How can you do it alone? Don't get exhausted!"
"It doesn't matter. With the help of Lao Zhou and the others, there will be no problem for the time being."
"There are a lot of students in the group, why haven't some of them been arranged to come over to help?"
"Their identities haven't been investigated clearly, so the regiment plans to break them up and send them to northwestern Shanxi."
"That's right, even if there is a problem with their identity and they are sent to the base area, they have no contact person and can only work honestly."
"By the way, people in the work team are saying that there is a traitor in the team. Can you tell me what's going on?"
Su Qing thought for a while and briefly explained what had happened before, including the Sheephead Project, to Captain Liu, who should now be called Officer Liu.
"You mean there is really a traitor in our group?"
"Indeed!"
"It hasn't been found out yet? Does everyone need to be examined?"
"It hasn't been found out, but the risk is not great. The regiment has been arranging people to investigate. You joined the independent regiment after the poisoning incident, so you will not be censored."
"You mean the regiment is reviewing the first company now?"
"Yes, you have only been here not long ago, and you are not on the list of suspects." Su Qing was surprised that this little girl responded quickly, and she was a good candidate for the enemy.
"I have an idea." Xiao Liu thought for a while.
"What do you think?" Su Qing looked up at Director Liu.
"Since the spy came to the Independent Regiment, he must have a purpose. One is to collect intelligence, and the other is to assassinate. The Independent Regiment is so tightly guarded that even if they collect the information, they will definitely not be able to send it out. Then, the role of the spy will not be effective at all. , and whether in Dabeizhuang or the wine station, it gave the spies the possibility of using the Muddy Waters River to transmit information."
"Good analysis, please continue." Su Qing picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.
"Based on what you just said, the independent regiment's protection of the leader is not strict, but the spies have never carried out assassination operations. It shows that the spies are either afraid of death, or the spies have no weapons. Isn't this a good judgment?"
"Then... do you think the spies are afraid of death or weapons?" Su Qing was shocked by her analysis.
"It's hard to say, but it's certain that spies don't have a high status in the regiment, and they basically have no chance to act independently."
"Why do you say that?" Su Qing actually already had a general direction in mind and could wake up the dreamer with one word.
"Since the spy chose to poison, and the spy has not taken any action for such a long time, of course, it is also possible that the spy is not at the regiment headquarters, but somewhere else!"
"I think the more you talk, the more you go around." Su Qing had a black line. Didn't this involve the whole group again? How could we narrow the scope?
There are only a few departments in the Independent Regiment. The spy who could kill Li Zhen must be ruthless.
The spy had also prepared to attack himself. It was not easy to dig the trap. From this, it can be inferred that the spy should often go to the river. Not everyone in the independent group can go to the river casually. The most likely thing is the cooking class. Or... the health team, of course there is another possibility. This spy is not a member of the Eighth Route Army at all. Could it be a common person?
The scope has suddenly been reduced a lot!
The spy must have taken over with Li Zhen. The reason why the spy killed Li Zhen was because Li Zhen was suspected and had exposed his flaws. He was afraid that Li Zhen would be arrested and confessed after being exposed, so he couldn't. Don't attack Li Zhen.
However, the information transmitted using Li Zhen's body was written by Li Zhen, which in itself is problematic.
If you look at it from another perspective, the Japanese are now in a strong position militarily, and there is no need for the spies to take the risk of taking extreme measures to attack Commander Lu or the political commissar. Then, the main task of the spies must be to find a way to use the collected intelligence Send out of the mountain.
There has been no heavy rain even in the mountains this year, and the amount of water in the Muddy River is very small. On the river downstream of the wine station, the political commissar arranged for the militia to pull the net day and night to clean up all the floating objects on the river. Even if the traitors got some information, they would still pass it on. stay home.
After thinking for a long time, I finally got a clue.
...
Wine station.
A soldier from the first company, holding a torch, hurried outside the wine station. Under the leadership of a soldier, he personally handed a letter to the guard platoon leader Xiao Bing.
Xiao Bing did not dare to neglect and entered the tent. The group leader and political commissar were both there.
This letter is unsigned, and you can tell from the content that it was sent by someone from Li Youde. The general meaning is to thank the Independence Group. Ten thousand kilograms of grain, thirty guns, and three thousand rounds of ammunition will be delivered to Lushuipu the day after tomorrow at night. West of the turret.
Captain Lu quickly read the letter by the light of the oil lamp and was in a good mood. Li Youde was not stingy in his actions and solved the independent regiment's food crisis caused by drought this year.
The political commissar took the letter handed over from Commander Lu and read it quickly, but fell into deep thought.
Last time, the entire independent regiment dispatched to cover the Ninth Company and killed the deputy battalion commander Li Yong. Li Youde also sent food and guns. It seemed that the security army battalion commander could find a way to win over him.
It's just that he said in the letter that the Japanese had planted a spy in his place, and it turned out to be Li Yong. As for whether it was true or not, it actually had a certain relationship with the Independence Group. After all, Li Youcai secretly gave a lot of support to the Independence Group.
When he mentioned spies, he couldn't help but think of the hidden sheep head in the Independent Regiment.
This matter has almost become a worry for him. If he wants to find out the spy, he doesn't know when he will be able to do it.
I got news some time ago that the Japanese are preparing to launch the Sheep Head Plan again. This time the Japanese have made it clear that it is a conspiracy! I'm not going to trick you this time. I'll tell you that I've arranged someone to be in your independent group!
If Li Youcai had relied solely on him to investigate, the possibility of success would indeed be high, but he didn't know that it would take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can a thousand days to prevent a thief? Thinking of this, the political commissar felt guilty.
Captain Lu had already seen what the political commissar was thinking: "Lao Lu, don't worry, at least we are on tight guard now. Even if they get the information but can't send it out, it's still useless!"
The political commissar put the letter he had read on the table, was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I want to transfer Su Qing back!"
"What did you say?" Captain Lu was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly: "Our people have just entered the plains, and the work team is making trouble again. You, the armed work captain, have become the boss, and you still want to Do you think it’s appropriate to transfer Su Qing back?”
"If the traitor is not eliminated, we will live on tenterhooks. Even the best pot of soup may be spoiled by this rat shit!"
Captain Lu was helpless and stood up and said: "Old Ding, some things cannot be rushed. Think about it, why do we want to release the 9th Company and the 1st and 2nd Company? Is it to throw aside the good ones first? There are only so many people left, let’s think of a way to catch him out, so you’d better be patient for now!”
"Endure? How can I endure it? My hair is almost turning gray? Huh?" The political commissar's eyes were red and his face was angry.
"Hey, don't get angry at me. People come up with solutions. I don't believe it. Is it a big deal to go out to get food this time? Do you think the traitor can bear it? Let's let the wind go. What do you think?" Lu The leader looked proud.
"No, there is no room for loss of food. We can't use this as a test."
