Hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Lao Hu coughed lightly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Captain, I understand what you mean, you want to find these Japanese plainclothes from the foreign population, but the banks of the Huangpu River are the most densely populated places in Pudong, especially after the war, I don't know how many people fled from Shanghai to the countryside, most of them are concentrated here, and now as long as a room is crowded with refugees in Shanghai, how many are there, even we locals are difficult to understand, I estimate that there are tens of thousands of refugees alone." , This is not counting the shelter in those small villages, and the household registration here has always been unattended, and it is chaotic! It's easier said than done to find these people! ”

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but have a headache when he heard Lao Hu's words, he didn't expect that the current population composition of Pudong was so chaotic, and it was really difficult to find those Japanese plainclothes in this densely populated township.

Especially the Japanese plainclothes team is not a fool, if you want to hide in it, it will not be gathered together, the best way is to break it into parts, divide it into several small departments, and integrate into the civilian population, so many foreign population, how to check it yourself?

This is not Nanjing, there is a complete and strict population registration management, that's it, the migrant population in Nanjing has always been difficult to manage, so it seems to be a real problem.

However, Ning Zhiheng was not discouraged at all, this difficulty was not in his eyes, his thoughts were flying, and his mind was constantly thinking.

After a long time, he spoke again and analyzed: "Don't care about those villages, after all, they are still far away from our garrison, and there are many of them, and we don't have the ability to investigate."

However, these towns in the vicinity are near the station, and the Japanese should be hiding in this area if they want to conduct reconnaissance.

Besides, although there are many of these refugees, since they are fleeing, they must be dragging their families with them, and there must be men and women, or old and young, but the Japanese plainclothes team is completely composed of young and middle-aged people, and there must be some traces of such people.

Lao Hu, think about it, in these nearby towns, are there groups or groups that are almost all composed of young and middle-aged people, with about 20 to 30 people, or 30 to 50 people? Such a group could be what we are looking for! ”

Ning Zhiheng's analysis suddenly made Lao Hu wake up, he patted his thigh, and said: "It's still the captain you are smart, there is really a way to say this, you let me think about it!" ”

Speaking of this, he held his chin in his hand, lowered his head and thought carefully, trying to find out the person who met the conditions put forward by Ning Zhiheng in his impression, and after a long time, he replied: "Captain, according to what you said, there are really many such people, the most common ones are those students or workers who come to the front line to comfort and support. ”

Ning Zhiheng hurriedly asked, and Lao Hu carefully explained the situation to him, it turned out that in the early days of the war, under the vigorous propaganda and call of the government, the anti-war sentiment of the people of the whole country was high, and some people from all over the country raised donations, and many people took out all their savings, and the money and materials raised were brought to the front line by the condolence groups and support groups organized by them.

These groups not only came to the front line to send money and goods, but also carried out propaganda in Shanghai, and made great contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, only in the urban area of Shanghai, there are at least 200 such support groups, because they have traveled long distances, so most of them are composed of enthusiastic young adults and young students, such groups also have a lot in the Pudong battlefield, they often carry out anti-Japanese propaganda, raise money, buy food and medicine to support the front-line soldiers, these people are very popular with the people.

Ning Zhiheng asked: "According to what you say, there is really such a possibility, do you know how many people are in such a patriotic group?" ”

"This is not fixed, there are dozens of people more, and there are more than a dozen people, not necessarily! Most of them are in the townships, and some of them will be settled in the villages, but they are generally young and strong men. Lao Hu replied seriously.

Ning Zhiheng nodded, according to Lao Hu's introduction to the current situation, it is very likely that there will be some members of the plainclothes team hidden in these anti-Japanese patriotic groups, this is a direction of investigation, and now there are no other clues in his hands, so start from this direction.

As for how to detect? Lao Hu and these Qinggang disciples can be used, but those Japanese agents must be very vigilant, and it will be a little bad if they startle the snake.

How can you find out the news in the most natural way without arousing the alarm of the other party? Ning Zhiheng's eyes couldn't help but look at the student soldiers who were nervously loading and unloading supplies not far away.

These student soldiers who have just joined the Einsatzgruppen are all enthusiastic young students from all over the country, and they have just left school not long ago, and many of them are still childish, and you can see at a glance that this is a student baby.

With such a true character, no one can see the flaws, and they can just go into various towns and towns to search, and it is very likely to find out those plainclothes team members.

As for Sun Jiacheng, their military aura is too heavy, and it is easy to alarm the agents of the plainclothes team during the investigation, so they can only wait for Ning Zhiheng's orders to act at any time.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and he immediately ordered all the student soldiers to gather, and then Ning Zhiheng personally selected more than twenty student soldiers who looked clever and could speak well, and asked them all to change into student clothes, which really looked like there was no flaw at all.

Ning Zhiheng called them aside alone and personally arranged tasks for them.

"The main task of our special service team at the moment is to clear out the Japanese plainclothes teams lurking behind us, but they are hidden in the civilian population, and it is difficult for us to find them.

Now we suspect that they will hide among some patriotic groups, and what you have to do is to disguise yourself as patriotic students who have failed to join the army, in groups of two people, go to various towns and even villages every day, to find patriotic support groups, try to contact them, observe them, and even join them, try to understand some information, such as the origin and composition of the group, pay attention to their accents, and the time they came to Pudong, etc., and then summarize all this information to me, and we will determine the goal according to your intelligence summary, Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The students replied in unison.

Ning Zhiheng himself was not idle, he also found a student uniform to wear on his body, adjusted his camouflage state, and according to Zuo Rou's instructions before, he tried his best to make his facial features softer, his body shape and voice were processed, and his temperament suddenly changed between gestures.

It's a pity that Zuo Rou is not around, if she puts on a little makeup, she is almost the same as a student.

Ning Zhiheng also chose a student soldier, this student soldier is called Dai Junlun, he is one of the more outstanding student soldiers, and he has some prestige among the student soldiers, Ning Zhiheng looked at him and was more clever, so he took him with him.

The selected student soldiers all left the station and left separately according to Ning Zhiheng's arrangement.

Ning Zhiheng led several groups of student soldiers to walk quickly, marching all the way, and soon came to Qingjiang Town, which was the closest to the station, which was the largest township in the vicinity and the most densely populated area, and was the best place for plainclothes teams to hide.

Walking into Qingjiang Town, Ning Zhiheng and everyone agreed to meet at the gate of the town in the evening, and then several groups of people split up to investigate.

He himself took Dai Junlun and walked slowly to the town, there were many pedestrians bustling on the side of the road, and it could be seen that there were indeed a lot of people here, Ning Zhiheng and they walked on the street and looked left and right curiously, as if they were two students who had just come here.

This Qingjiang town is very large, the streets are crisscrossed, Ning Zhiheng and the two came to a shop, and kindly asked what patriotic groups there are in Qingjiang Town, but the shopkeeper didn't know anything, just said that he had seen someone giving speeches and collecting donations on the street, and he also donated a lot of money.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't see the gist, so he changed a few pedestrians and asked, but no one knew exactly how many patriotic groups there were, as well as their residences.

Looking at Dai Junlun on the side, who looked a little anxious, still too immature, Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly, chatted with him while walking, and asked in a low voice: "Junlun, how old are you this year?" Where are you from?

Dai Junlun looked at Ning Zhiheng and found that the close contact, the top boss was not as strict as everyone said, and replied in a low voice: "I am twenty years old this year, and I am a native of Jinhua, Zhejiang." ”

"Jinhua? So how did you end up in Shanghai to join the Einsatzgruppen? Ning Zhiheng asked.

Dai Junlun hurriedly replied: "I was studying in Shanghai, and at the beginning of the war, our school let the Japanese planes bomb it, and many students signed up to join the army, but the regular army did not accept us, thinking that we were cumbersome, and there was no hope of joining the army, so they were all ready to return to their hometowns. ”

Ning Zhiheng was relieved when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhejiang Jinhua!" Then we're fellow villagers! I'm from Hangzhou! I just heard your accent and felt a bit similar, but I found that your accent still has a Shanghai accent, so I can't be sure. ”

Dai Junlun was also very happy, the captain turned out to be his fellow countryman, he smiled and said: "Hehe, I have been studying in Shanghai for two years, and sometimes Shanghainese and hometown dialect are mixed, which is a bit nondescript." ”

"Yes, I'm just like you, I went from Hangzhou to Nanjing to study, and went to a military academy for two years, but Hangcheng dialect and Nanjing dialect were mixed, and it became like this, haha!"

The two of them smiled at each other, the relationship was a lot closer, Ning Zhiheng deliberately restrained his edge today, Dai Junlun also felt that the new captain was a lot more amiable, at this time suddenly he said boldly: "Captain, many old team members call you King Ning Yan, I don't look like you at all, but like my senior, there is no frame at all." ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but be stunned, this was naturally the discussion of the old team members below, so that these student soldiers heard it,

He didn't want to explain more, so he waved his hand to change the topic and asked, "Are there many classmates in the Einsatzgruppen with you?" ”

"Many, a lot of them are from our school." Dai Junlun nodded and said, but soon his face darkened, "It is said that they threw their pen to defend the country from Rong, but as soon as they went to the battlefield on the north bank a few days ago, many classmates left, and they didn't even have time to shoot a shot." ”

After Ning Zhiheng heard this, his heart sank, and neither of them said anything more, nor was he willing to mention this topic again.
