Chapter 458: Strange Things (Three Changes)
The reason why he did not notify the Chongqing government in advance that Wang Jingwei would defect to the enemy was mainly due to two reasons, the first reason was political reasons, it was not nice to say, Chairman Jiang and Wang Jingwei were a family, and they all belonged to the big family of the party-state, Liao Fan was an outsider, and openly accused the Chongqing high-level of defecting to the enemy. There is no evidence in this matter, how can you take the liberty of doing it to a person who holds real power.
Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jingwei has been very close to the Japanese, and Chairman Chiang should know very well that as for why he is reluctant to take action, perhaps there is Chairman Chiang's own considerations, and if Liao Fan says it, I am afraid that there is really a possibility of dividing people.
However, Wang Jingwei's rebellion is not necessarily a bad thing, at least Chongqing's top brass lacks a traitor lurking inside, and Liao Fan believes that Wang Jingwei is just a clown in this war to test the nation.
Regarding Wang Jingwei's defection to the enemy, Liao Fan warned everyone that it is okay to be angry but not to lose their minds, now their main energy is to deal with the little devil, and now the little devil is the evil neighbor of their new 33rd Army, if you don't knock him, he will still disgust you.
A week passed unconsciously in Heshun County, Liao Fan thought that during his time in Heshun County, the spies of the little devils lurking in Heshun County would do it, but the spies who had been lurking so far had honestly started to be Shunmin.
Liao Fan's investigation of all aspects of the army has been completed, and he is ready to leave for Liu Chundao's station tomorrow.
"Brother Fan, I've packed everything that should be packed!" Lu Liming reported to Liao Fan.
"Okay, you go get busy first, I have something to discuss with Lao Hu!" Liao Fan waved his hand and motioned for Lu Liming to go out and close the door.
"Haven't the spies lurking in the county town been investigated yet?" Liao Fan asked Hu Guoshan.
"The guard battalion has been staring for the past few days, and so far they have not found any valuable clues!" Hu Guoshan shook his head and said, he was also worried about the Japanese spies lurking in the county, whether these spies would come for Liao Fan, and as soon as Liao Fan left his protection, the little devil would do it.
"What about the news from the prisoner of war camp, has anything been found?" Liao Fan always thought that these little devils were coming for prisoners of war.
"It's been verified, there's nothing special, and we also have people watching that Japanese spy, I've been very honest lately, and there's no trace of action!" Hu Guoshan continued.
"Could it be that our reconnaissance is in the wrong direction?" Liao Fan thought about whether this was a smoke bomb deliberately released by the little devils to let them focus on the prisoner of war camp, and the little devils would start from elsewhere.
"It's also possible, but if the target of the little devil is not the little devil in the prisoner of war camp, where will it be?" Hu Guoshan asked.
"Arrest that little devil and interrogate him overnight, and notify all troops to be under martial law to prevent the little devil from sneaking up!" Liao Fan ordered Hu Guoshan.
Liao Fan didn't believe that the little devil had worked hard to sneak into Heshun County just to sneak up on him, and there was no follow-up action, the most important thing was that according to Liao Fan's judgment, now should be the most critical time for Li Lingfei to complete the agreement with the little devil, and it is uncertain whether the little devil will take the opportunity to take action at this time.
"Lu Liming!" Liao Fan shouted loudly outside the room.
Lu Liming entered the room and looked at Liao Fan: "Brother Fan, do you have any orders?" ”
"Tomorrow you ...... like this," Liao Fan said to Lu Liming.
"I understand Brother Fan!"
"Remember to pay attention to safety, you don't have to come back after completing the mission, we will meet at Wulipo in the north of the city the morning after tomorrow, and bring all our things!" Liao Fan admonished.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Liao Fan was lying on the bed tossing and turning, he didn't have the slightest grasp of tomorrow's plan, if the little devil lurking in the county town didn't act, all this could only be solved by Hu Guoshan himself, Liao Fan hoped that there would be no problems at this critical time, at least ask the little devil to get what he wanted.
Liao Fan didn't know when he fell asleep, anyway, he had nightmares all night, and it was Lu Liming who woke him up in the morning. Because he didn't sleep well last night, Liao Fan's mental condition was a little poor after getting up in the morning, and after he told Lu Liming a few more words, he relieved Lu Liming and them to leave.
Liao Fan's personal guard squad rode a high-headed horse to swagger through the city, and then lifted a road of smoke and dust and left Heshun County. At this time, Liao Fan did not have a soldier around him to protect him, only he was alone in the room, quietly looking at a newspaper that had long since passed.
Hu Guoshan was anxiously waiting for something in the command headquarters, Hu Guoshan had reservations about the plan made by Liao Fan last night, and did not want Liao Fan to take the risk of doing this, if something went wrong, he would be unable to escape the blame, and the entire New 33rd Army would go from here.
But Hu Guoshan is only a division commander after all, Liao Fan is his immediate boss, and as a soldier, he can only obey orders. Especially last night's surprise interrogation of the little devil did not have any results, which made Hu Guoshan even more worried, if these people really came for Liao Fan, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
The morning in Heshun County is as always, ordinary people don't know that there is an undercurrent in the dark of Heshun County, and they are starting to be busy for the new day. However, there are a few people on the street who look very different, although they are dressed similarly to ordinary people, but their figures look like they have undergone long-term and high-intensity training.
In a dark cellar, dim oil lamps flickered, and seven or eight men surrounded a man with clogs in the middle, waiting for the next order.
As the man in the clogs spoke, the flames of the oil lamps flickered in the air, and then a man left the cellar, the wind that nearly blew out the lamps.
After a few minutes, there were only two people left in the dark cellar, and the man in the clogs put two knives, one long and one short, at his waist, and sat down on a makeshift bed, while the other said something beside him, and then sat on a stool on the side and waited quietly.
These people are the Japanese spies that Liao Fan has been trying to find these days, they are led by the Japanese Chinese, except for the Japanese who are the leaders, everyone else is traitors, so they can easily lurk near Heshun County without being detected.
This morning, the Japanese spies received a message that Liao Fan had left Heshun County, which was good news for him, just seven days ago, because Liao Fan had lost twelve of his men, which accounted for one-third of their infiltration into the city.
This had to make the spies honest for a while, and Liao Fan's existence had formed a certain deterrent to them, especially since there was a ghost force around Liao Fan that had spread from the little devils, so they didn't dare to act recklessly, and now Liao Fan is finally gone.
However, for the sake of safety, the leader of the little devil did not blindly let his subordinates do it, because he had to make sure that Liao Fan had really left, and then he had to notify the troops who had already prepared outside Chenggong to do a good job of receiving them, he didn't want the action to succeed, and in the end they were trapped in the city and couldn't get out.
Liao Fan waited in the room for a whole day, and there was still no movement in the county seat, until the evening, when Hu Guoshan sent soldiers to bring him good news, the little devil moved.
The little devil finally moved, and Hu Guoshan was the happiest, because judging from the feedback from the soldiers, they were not coming for Liao Fan, at least Liao Fan's safety was guaranteed.
"Brother Fan, our division commander has arranged a company of soldiers on the periphery to protect you!" The communications soldier told Liao Fan about Hu Guoshan's arrangement.
"Tell you division commander, once you grasp the situation, you can close the net at any time, now we are in the county, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to track down the people led by the little devil spies!" Liao Fan said to the signal soldier.
The little devil's spies suffered a big loss after Liao Fan and they arrived in Heshun County, so the spies also learned to be obedient, in order to prevent their own people from betraying, they chose to sneak underground, so they didn't find anything in Hu Guoshan these days.
Before the little devil could make a move, Hu Guoshan made the first move, and the soldiers lurking in the alley quickly rushed into the street, dragging the suspicious people they had been targeting into the alley, and the pedestrians on the street had no time to react, and in just one minute, the spies on the street were controlled by Hu Guoshan's guard battalion.
"Interrogate them immediately, find out their purpose and where they are lurking!" After learning that the situation was under control, Hu Guoshan immediately ordered an interrogation, and he wanted to eradicate the spies lurking in Heshun County in one fell swoop.
The little devil never thought that his plan had just begun, and when he found that he couldn't get in touch with his own people, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly prepared things to escape.
However, the moment he walked out of the cellar, he knew that it was too late, and in order not to let himself fall into the hands of the enemy, he decisively drew his short knife and touched his neck.
The commander of a company in the guard battalion watched the little devil's spy touch his neck like this, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his heart, so he could only take his body to explain to Hu Guoshan.
Hu Guoshan successfully learned the purpose of their operation from the mouth of the spies, the little devil wanted to unite with the spies lurking in the army to rebel, and capture Heshun County in one fell swoop through internal and external attacks, so as to make Liao Fan's plan come to naught.
Although this group of spies was successfully captured, none of them slipped through the net, but what annoyed Hu Guoshan was that this time they only found out a small number of spies lurking in the army, and some of them were hidden very deeply, only the little devil leader knew who they were, but he was dead, and all the news was broken.
"Rebellion? To seize Heshun County, there is less than a brigade of troops and an artillery squadron outside the city, is the little devil dreaming? Liao Fan didn't believe in this result.
"That's what all the captured agents said!" Hu Guoshan replied.
"It's all said that the caliber is too uniform?" Liao Fan felt that there must be something strange in it, but the leading spy was dead, and they didn't know what the little devil was going to do.
"Since the secret service operation in the city has failed, no matter what their next operation is, I'm afraid they won't be able to complete it, right?" Hu Guoshan analyzed.
"Hmm...... There is a certain amount of truth, but we can't pretend to understand in confusion, if the matter is not investigated clearly, there will inevitably be hidden dangers! ”
Liao Fan knew that he was going to leave Heshun County tomorrow, and the next things could only be handed over to Hu Guoshan.
"No matter what the matter is, we must track this matter down clearly, and the prisoner of war camp should also keep an eye on it, the little devil actually gave me a maze array, I really want to see what is hidden in this maze array!" Liao Fan said.
"Brother Fan, I'm afraid the little devils outside the city don't know that the operation inside the city has failed, now are we going to surround these little devils' troops?"
