Ekin Cheng's exposure made Danwu finally catch Kitashirakawa's tail.
Originally, the Dragon Boat Festival would search the north and south sides along the road from five to fifteen kilometers outside the mountain city.
But if Ekin Cheng is exposed, then Dragon Boat Festival can completely abandon the search on the northern line and focus on the southern line.
And this range can be further narrowed.
Because it would be inconvenient for Kitashirakawa to move with the hostages, Ekin Zheng was the only one who could take action. However, Ekin Zheng had been exposed and he would never dare to stay in the Kuomintang-controlled area again. He would evacuate with Kitashirakawa.
Then, he couldn't be too far away from Kitashirakawa's position.
Judging from the time and place where Ekin Zheng appeared, they should have got off the road eight kilometers outside the mountain city, then walked eight kilometers and stopped at 12 kilometers, and then Ekin Zheng went to inquire for information.
This distance will not exceed the range of five kilometers to eight kilometers from Xingtai Town.
In this way, Dragon Boat Festival found three villages within a radius of five kilometers from multiple radii: Tiantai Village, Shangtai Village, and Xiatai Village.
Duanwu immediately ordered: "Immediately send all the search troops on the northern front to the southern front, and the search troops on the southern front should not rush to search, and quickly block Tiantai Village, Shangtai Village, and Xiatai Village with a radius of five kilometers. .”
Zheng Yao thought for a moment and said, "We may not have enough manpower."
Duanwu said: "I will ask the gendarmerie to cooperate with you. Remember, important communication facilities such as radio stations must be in the hands of trusted people."
"yes!"
Zheng Yao took the order first and immediately went to deliver the order according to the Dragon Boat Festival order. At this time, Duanwu called Commander Tang of the Military Police.
Mr. Tang has been suspended from duty by the chairman of the committee and is currently sleeping in his dormitory.
This sudden wave of misfortunes made him very angry. Because he was completely implicated by his stupid subordinates.
But he was also very lucky. He was not directly killed by the chairman, so he was already thankful to God. After all, if there was such a big mistake, the Chairman definitely had a reason to kill him.
However, at this moment, a guard came to report: "Reporter, I am calling you during the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Dragon Boat Festival?"
Mr. Tang opened the quilt covering himself and sat up.
He didn't take off his clothes but lay down with his clothes on, and he didn't sleep either. Instead, he had nothing to do, and he was still feeling aggrieved and angry, so he just lay there.
So as soon as the guard came to report, he sat up.
But after he sat up, he thought for a while and said: "I, the captain of the gendarmerie, have already been fucked, what else are you going to do with me during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
The guard was Master Tang's confidant, and he replied: "Master, it is better to have someone to call you at this time than no one to call you. If any uncle says a word for you in front of the committee, and you are reinstated, it may be this way." It’s a matter of one sentence.”
Mr. Tang thought about it and quickly got up and went to the office to answer the phone. But in fact, there is someone in the office. It is the captain of the first squadron of the gendarmerie who is temporarily in charge of all the affairs of the gendarmerie.
But to put it bluntly, the power of the Gendarmerie is actually still in the hands of Commander Tang, because the three squadron leaders of the Gendarmerie were all promoted by him. Without Commander Tang’s order, the first squadron commander is no one except his own people. Can't even give orders.
"Master's seat!"
When the leader of the No. 1 Squadron saw Master Tang walking in, he quickly gave up his seat and asked Master Tang to sit down.
But Mr. Tang did not sit down at this time. Instead, he picked up the phone and bowed slightly: "Uncle, what are your orders?"
Danwu's voice came from the other side of the phone: "We have found an area outside the city where Kitashirakawa may be hiding, but the Central Command and the Military Command are short of manpower. How many people can your gendarmerie dedicate now? Because of the security in the city. It cannot be paralyzed. If necessary, I can mobilize the city defense troops to cooperate with the gendarmerie's patrol missions in the city."
Commander Tang immediately said: "The strength of the two military police squadrons is about 2,000. But I need the city defense army to transfer 500 people to me, so that I can transfer so many people without affecting the security of the city."
Duanwu said: "I will personally take credit for your successful arrest this time. But if you can't catch it, then I'm sorry that I can't do anything."
"It's my uncle!"
Commander Tang immediately accepted the order, and Duanwu said: "Quickly send your people to set up defenses within a radius of five kilometers with Tiantai Village, Shangtai Village, and Xiatai Village as the center. It is required that not even a fly can fly out. And Zhongtong and There will definitely be spies among the military commanders. Remember, without my order, you are only allowed to enter and not leave this area! Do you understand?"
"yes!"
Commander Tang took the order again, and then handed over the security of the city to the First Squadron Leader, who personally led people out of the city to set up defenses.
Duan Wu made it clear that he would personally go to Mr. Tang to take credit for catching someone. This means that he has an 80% chance of being reinstated.
But if he can't be caught, then he, Mr. Tang, may have to retire and return home.
So this may be Mr. Tang's last chance, and he has to pay attention to it.
After making this call, Duanwu made another call to Commander Li of the City Defense Army, asking him to dispatch 500 people to cooperate with the gendarmerie's security.
Commander Li took the order, but hesitated for a moment before asking: "Uncle, can our city defense army cooperate with this operation?"
Duanwu said: "You are already cooperating. The city defense army is responsible for the defense of the mountain city. There can be no more problems in the mountain city. Of course, don't worry, as long as Kitashirakawa is caught, I will also come to the committee to defend you, Mr. Li. Please take credit.”
"Thank you, uncle!"
Commander Li bowed slightly and saluted on the other side of the phone, because being demoted to colonel was a shame in his military career.
On the frontal battlefield, he had never defeated his enemies, but he did not expect that problems would arise in the defense of the mountain city.
Therefore, Mr. Li has not only been deeply blaming himself, but also always thinking about having a chance to avenge his shame.
And he finally waited for this opportunity. Although he was just cooperating, he felt that Duanwu was right. At this time, the defense of the mountain city was more important. Nothing could happen in the mountain city at this moment.
So he immediately ordered the deployment of 500 city defense troops to cooperate with the gendarmerie to maintain law and order, and immediately implemented a curfew. Except for the Dragon Boat Festival orders, no one could enter or leave the city gate. And this time, he directly pulled two telephone lines at the city gate. , to avoid being destroyed by spies.
After doing all this, Commander Li was still a little worried, so he personally led his own guards and a radio to inspect various parts of the city.
So just after the Dragon Boat Festival orders were issued, in the dark night, the beating light spots gradually gathered into fire dragons, with Tiantai Village, Shangtai Village, and Xiatai Village as the center, surrounding a five-kilometer radius. in! ...
