Half an hour later.
The young man who was following the scar-faced traitor from afar walked straight to the police station. Could it be that someone from the police force also discovered the situation?
Want to take credit from me?
Scarface hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.
More than ten minutes later, the scar-faced traitor returned to the detective team.
Seeing that the men he ordered to follow the woman came back, he couldn't help but smile: "How is the situation?"
The traitor cried sadly: "Brother, I lost that woman!"
"Lost? Haha! Okay!"
"Brother, you smile like this and I'm scared?"
"You're so scared. Do you know why you've been a street patrolman for so long?"
"Brother, I work very hard!"
The scar-faced traitor said proudly: "Forget it, it's none of your business now, get out of here."
He could at least confirm that there was something wrong with that woman. Since she went to Renhetang, she should not have to worry about New Year's money now.
As for the identity of that woman, you can find out by just asking the brother guarding the city, because there are only a few women entering the city from the east gate.
Is the good citizen certificate really a good thing?
...
In a dilapidated private house somewhere in the city, Lin Yi, who met Liu Manhe, looked calmly at County Magistrate Liu of the anti-Japanese government who had just entered the house.
"Hello, Chief Lin!" The tall and thin County Magistrate Liu stepped forward directly: "Liu Manhe, why are you here?"
"I am the person in charge of this operation!" Of course Liu Manhe recognized the county magistrate who had worked at the headquarters, and his answer was still simple and clear.
Lin Yi did not talk to him about family matters: "To make a long story short, I will now relay the order of the head of the headquarters: first, try to find out the specific time and place of the banquet of the advancing team, second, try to bring our operatives into the city, third Third, prepare enough weapons for operational personnel.”
"Hey, I promise to complete the task, how about... let's eat first?"
"Is it more important to work or to eat?"
"Nacheng, I received an order from my superiors this morning. You have traveled nearly two hundred miles along the way. It is really hard. Hey, how many members do we have for this operation?"
Lin Yi simply said: "More than 30 people have arrived in advance, and it will reach more than 200 tonight. The nearby local troops are still gathering. In order to prevent the enemy from being alerted, the large troop assembly is temporarily arranged a hundred miles away."
"A team of more than 200 people? So many?" County Magistrate Liu was stunned for a moment, with a bitter look on his face: "There are too many people. If you want to sneak into the city... it's impossible!"
Lin Yi said coldly: "I'm not discussing with you, this is an order. The order from the head of the headquarters is to do whatever it takes. If the action team fails, all nearby combat personnel will be mobilized, including militiamen, intelligence personnel, including your local staff. All personnel must pick up guns and join in the storming of the county town, do you understand?"
"Ah? So serious? I'll think of a solution immediately." County Magistrate Liu was a little confused. What was the superior doing? Is it really that important to fight the advancing team?
Lin Yi reminded: "The day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival. If the advancing team has a dinner, they will probably choose it on New Year's Eve. Therefore, our team must enter the city within two days!"
County Magistrate Liu thought for a while: "Can't we wait for the enemy to come out and then ambush them?"
"This is not a problem you should consider now. The order I received is that the enemy must be eliminated in the city!"
County Magistrate Liu finally couldn't help it: "The results are the same. What's the difference between the city and outside the city? We are too passive in the city. Who the hell is this layman giving the order? I want to report it to my superiors!"
Lin Yi said coldly: "I hope you will just reply 'yes' to me."
"You..." County Magistrate Liu, who had just stood up, was stunned for a moment and said angrily, "Yes."
Lin Yi felt that he might have spoken too harshly, so he changed his tone to a calm tone: "You are an old comrade, don't feel aggrieved. I will slowly explain the reasons to you later, but now, you only need to obey the order!"
"I don't mean anything else, it's just that there are heavy Japanese troops in the city, and we are acting recklessly... Hey, I know, it's probably the boss who can't bear that tone." County Magistrate Liu felt a little lonely.
"As long as you understand! I asked Old Liu, is there any problem in transporting weapons into the city now?" Liu Manhe suddenly asked.
County Magistrate Liu came back to his senses from his memory, immediately regained his seriousness, and shook his head: "It is basically impossible for our police chief to defect to the enemy. He is very clear about our common methods, and now it is approaching the end of the year, so the investigation The collection team conducts very detailed inspections, and everyone who enters the city has to be searched, so there is no way to bring them into the city."
"So, weapons cannot be transported into the city from outside the city... So, how many weapons do you have in the city?"
County Magistrate Liu thought for a while: "The enemies in the city are strictly checked, and weapons cannot be sent in at all. The guns currently in the hands of our people in the city...are only a few lone guns."
"Single fight? You mean just a few broken pieces of iron? Not even a shell gun?" Liu Manhe was stunned.
"Originally, there were, but the Japanese police have tightened their control and our people have no way to move around in the city. We simply arranged for our comrades to move around in the mountains outside the city. Now we won't be able to call them back for a while...and, Even if we call them back, we can’t send the weapons into the city.”
"I said you are a county magistrate, but you are really giving the Eighth Route Army a face." Liu Manhe became a little angry.
County Magistrate Liu was a bit dumbfounded, but he was not angry: "Young man, you don't understand the actual situation. Since traitors appeared one after another among the senior cadres of our organization, all comrades in the organization in the city had to evacuate. I have only been in office for half a year in this county. Chief, you work outside the city most of the time, and today is your second time in the city, you know, right?"
"That's not a reason. Come on, just make sure we can enter the city... By the way, can we climb the city wall in the middle of the night?"
"The Japs arranged wolf dogs on the city wall at night, and searchlights illuminated the entire city wall as if it were daylight from dark. We observed for a month and found no loopholes."
"Where's the sewer?"
"The key is that you can't reach the moat!"
"This is a troublesome thing. By the way, there has been no change in the number of Japs in the city?"
"Nothing has changed. We report this every three days... You should know, right? There is a brigade of Japanese soldiers and a regiment of security forces stationed in the city. They go out for raids after dawn and come back before dark, and some black dog police officers are dispatched. We check the population of ordinary people's homes every day. Even if we are visiting relatives to stay overnight, we must report to the police for registration and verification on the same day. The city is full of enemies, mainly those traitors who have surrendered to the enemy. They know our working methods very well. We stay in the city. There are only so few people here, and there is no way to carry out work at all. When I, the county magistrate, go to the city, my head is stuck in my belt." Magistrate Liu looked bitter.
"Okay, I'm too impatient. I know your conditions are difficult, so can you get something like a bayonet or a kitchen knife?"
"As for bayonets, if you add up all the comrades you have, you should be able to get around twenty of them."
"That's enough. Hurry up and arrange to complete the three tasks assigned to you by your superiors. I will be responsible for organizing people to enter the city. After completing the tasks, I will fight directly out of the city gate."
"Ah? Fight directly? Isn't this looking for death?" County Magistrate Liu was shocked and could not calm down: "I really don't think so. How could the superiors send a stupid young man like you to be the captain of the operation? No matter how poor the secret service team is, It’s not like we can’t find the commander, right?”
Liu Manhe had a black line on his face: "You look down on me? But you are a senior, I promise...forget it, you really don't have to worry, this time...we are fully prepared."
