The platoon commander heard Feng Zhongyun's question. He smiled and said, "As soon as that Adjutant Ma entered the mountain, I didn't feel right, he always found time to be alone." When I saw that he was acting strangely, I sent a man to keep an eye on him. But he did not expect that he would always find a specially selected birch tree every thirty miles to make a mark, and by the way, he would stuff a note in the bark revealing our whereabouts. ”

"When he said that his stomach hurt as soon as he entered Suileng, I knew that this guy couldn't wait. When he returned, I sent two men with him. As a result, we did not go twenty miles before we saw him muttering to this guy with a map showing our marching route, and there were two guards wearing fast and slow machines by his side. ”

"Seeing that these people didn't look right, our people grabbed him back. The interrogation revealed that the person who was muttering with him in the face of a tourist was actually the police chief of Hailun County, Manchukuo. And this adjutant gave all the routes of our march to this police chief. ”

"Thanks to him, the puppet Manchurian army of Helen and Suileng mobilized two infantry battalions, a mortar company, the Suileng puppet Manchurian forest police brigade, plus an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, a total of thousands of troops waiting for us in front of us. They have opened a wide net, just waiting for us to throw themselves into the net. If we hadn't discovered it in time and changed the route of the march, we would have suffered a great loss. ”

Hearing the words of the platoon commander, Li Zhaolin half-convinced took the Japanese pseudo-text jiàn marked with the words top secret on it and the stack of notes and read it carefully, the anger in his heart was gone, but it was half cold. He didn't expect that this main division, who was deeply valued by him, would actually defect after being arrested in Tangyuan County as early as three or seven years.

He not only betrayed a considerable amount of intelligence of the Third Route Army, but also made the Third Route Army more and more passive in its anti-encirclement and suppression last year. He also betrayed to the Japanese army the plan of the Third Route Army's westward expedition. As a result, when the Third Route Army chose the route of the westward expedition, it was forced to choose hundreds of miles of uninhabited deep mountains and old forests, and almost all of them starved to death and froze to death in the mountains of Xiaoxing'anling.

During the westward expedition, the Third Route Army suffered heavy losses, and although there were not many battles, it was almost reduced by more than half of its troops due to cold and starvation. There was also the dispute within the Third Route Army at the beginning, and half of it was actually caused by this guy. The purpose is to break up the three armies with the strongest combat effectiveness in the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Alliance.

Not only the Third Route Army, at the beginning of last year, the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army crossed the river to find the central government in vain, and was attacked as soon as he returned to China.

And that's just a partial record of the Japanese army. How much intelligence did this guy sell and how many so-called "special" feats did he make for the Japanese puppet? Since some of the files have been sent to the puppet Ministry of Public Security in Xinjing, the capital of the puppet Manchurians, there is no way to know. Only after the interrogation can it be partially understood.

No wonder he was asked to stay in Xiajiang at the beginning, but he was reluctant to grind and chirp. After the main force left, it didn't take long for the first division to lose a great deal of troops, leaving only more than 100 people, and several regiment commanders, political commissars, and division leaders left him with the remnants of the troops to withdraw across the Xing'an Mountains.

After he retreated west and joined the main force, the previous operations of the Third Route Army, which had been carried out in Shunlì, were repeatedly frustrated. In particular, as the main force of the three armed forces, the political security division of the whole division suffered heavy losses due to ambushes by the Japanese puppet army in several battles. In a short period of time, the division commander and political commissar were all killed.

In the midst of the Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression of the Xiajiang area, the troops of the main division, which had been in danger several times but had escaped from danger, collapsed in a short period of time. I couldn't find the reason before, and I thought it was the cause of the hostile situation. Now it seems that the battle plan that caused several heavy casualties in the political security division is very likely to be betrayed by this Chen Shaobin.

And when he remembered that he, along with the secretary of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee and the general political commissar of the Third Route Army, the three highest military and political leaders in the North Manchurian region, were almost not served by him, Li Zhaolin was extremely afraid. If the three of them really died here, the entire North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee and the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation would be leaderless.

Seeing Li Zhaolin's face cloudy and uncertain after reading the information he provided, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Commander-in-Chief Li, don't worry too much. Now that the shape is so complicated, it's not uncommon for one or two bugs to come out of the troops. After all, we found out and looked for him when he had not yet brought a heavy danger to the troops. Is that still a good thing for us? ”

"Well, don't think about him now. Tomorrow the central delegation will arrive, and the headquarters of the First Route Army will arrive within a few days. In addition to meeting with the central leaders, we should also think more about the issue of coordinated operations of our three units in the future. ”

For Yang Zhen's relief, Li Zhaolin smiled bitterly at Feng Zhongyun beside him and Jin Ce, secretary of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee, and could only nod and obey Yang Zhen's arrangement. In fact, after knowing that the commander of the Sixth Division was a traitor who had been defecting for many years, several people knew that they were afraid that the entire Sixth Division was no longer reliable.

Now except for a few guards around him, he can't even send the troops of the outer guards. Even if he was unwilling, he could only follow the arrangement of the young and somewhat scary deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army in front of him.

After sending someone to send the head of the Third Route Army to settle down, Yang Zhen summoned Li Mingrui and asked him to immediately start the screening of the First Division of the Sixth Army. If it is said that Chen Shaobin has no dead friends in the First Division of the Sixth Army, Yang Zhen does not believe it. But to say that the remaining old bones of the first division have rebelled with him, Yang Zhen will not believe it.

Screening is a must, the central delegation is about to arrive, and it is still an insecure factor to keep them in the end. But you can't do a company, that will chill the troops. Yang Zhen meant that before the arrival of the central delegation, the unstable factors in the remaining troops of the First Division should be cleared as quickly as possible, and the remaining people would be reorganized into a guard company and handed back to the Third Route Army.

If the leaders of the Third Route Army were not at ease and did not want these people, they would send them to the north, hand them over to the sub-district, and integrate them into the sub-division's backbone regiment. These people were all old backbones, just in time to supplement the summer offensive, because the area was expanded, and the divisional forces, which appeared to be somewhat underarmed, were used as the backbone forces.

It's just that to Yang Zhen's surprise, in addition to Chen Shaobin's adjutant who is his best friend, among the remaining dozens of people in the first division, there is actually a company commander who was secretly rebelled by him. The rest of the personnel, except for feeling that the division commander was a little depressed, and even some deliberately avoided the battle after the main force marched westward, they had almost no idea what the rest of their division commander was doing. Chen Shaobin does not seem to have developed in the first division.

What was even more unexpected to Yang Zhen was that this division commander Chen was not just a Japanese spy after the mutiny. In addition to the Japanese spy, he also has another background, which is actually a senior agent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army. And he also had a secret rank of major in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army.

What is ironic is that he is also clearly marked on the file seized by the Sanjiang Provincial Police Department of the puppet Manchurian. Because of his repeated special exploits, with the help of Jiangbei, he got rid of the biggest thorn in the side of the North Manchurian Japanese army, so the Seventh Military Region of the puppet Manchurian region specially promoted his military rank. He was promoted from captain last year to major in the 7th Military District.

Looking at his confession, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh secretly, there are many cattle in this world. Not to mention that this guy can be heavily assigned to the secret services of both countries, he actually picks the rank of major in both countries. And in the Anti-Japanese Federation, he actually soared to the position of division commander. Although it is only an agent, everyone knows that if nothing happens, it will be a matter of time before it happens.

Looking at the special exploits of the Manchurian Empire and its allies, the Kwantung Army, in his confession, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel a sense of creepy. The detention of the former commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army in the Soviet Union was a good show directed by him and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Far Eastern Military District. And he is the one who plays a major role, even a key role.

The reason why the former commander-in-chief was suspected of being a Japanese spy by the Far Eastern Military District Internal Affairs Department was that he had been unable to solve the problem of the Japanese army, which he called the biggest henchman in North Manchuria, and had decided to take some extreme measures, after receiving several assassinations and even heavy encirclement and suppression.

He took advantage of his secret special identity to enter and exit the Soviet Union much more freely than other generals of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and slandered the commander-in-chief in front of the other party, and spread false messages to single-handedly create the arrest of the former commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Far Eastern Military District will take this opportunity to clean up the disobedient former commander-in-chief and replace it with an obedient person. Even Yang Zhen thinks that this possibility is quite large. Because he knows that this big brother has a black hand. Pick up the people who don't listen to them, quite neatly.

Not only was the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army in distress when he returned from the Soviet Union in March last year, but he informed the Japanese puppet army of the news in advance, so that the commander-in-chief almost did not die at the hands of the Japanese puppet army. Even after the main forces of the Third Army and the Sixth Army lost the Luobei operation last year and were forced to withdraw into Jiangbei, he was disarmed and sent to Xinjiang, which almost destroyed the main force of the Third Route Army, and there is his shadow behind it.

When Yang Zhen handed over this guy's confession to the commander of the Third Route Army, he saw that the commander-in-chief's face was blue and purple, and his face was flushed after a while. After being silent for a long time, Li Zhaolin handed the confession in his hand to Feng Zhongyun and Jin Ce beside him and said, "How do you think this matter is handled?" ”

"If he was just a Japanese spy, this is easy to talk about, just shoot him. But he is still from Jiangbei, if we execute him, will it affect our current cooperative relationship? I wonder if he should be handed over to the Jiangbei side along with this confession and let them dispose of it themselves? ”

Li Zhaolin's words, Yang Zhen listened to a little tasteless. Such a traitor and spy who brought huge losses to the Third Route Army and almost wiped out the headquarters of the Third Route Army, and the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army almost did not bury himself in his hands.

Although his reasons were very good, when Yang Zhen heard his words, he had a strange thought in his heart. No matter how you listen to these words, there is a cover-up meaning.

Send it across the river, and the ghost will know what they will do with this guy. And once it is sent across the river, it means that the Anti-Japanese Federation has no right to dispose of this person. No matter how the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army dealt with him, even if he was directly acquitted, the Anti-Japanese Federation could not be held accountable. In other words, there is a great possibility that this person will not die.

This strange thought made Yang Zhen secretly suspicious in his heart. Could it be that the former commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army was detained across the river, and this commander-in-chief Li was also involved? Have something to do with him? He didn't want to kill that guy, did he not want that person to fully reveal the inside story of this matter?

I think of the later generations who know that this is because the parties are all dead, and there are no other clues except the memoirs of some people who experienced it, and some rumors in the historical event that make rumors fly all over the sky. Thinking of what Peng Dingjie said in the 731 secret prison that after the commander-in-chief was detained, the director of the General Political Department of the Third Route Army at the time, Yang Zhen gradually affirmed this speculation in his heart.

It's just that although this matter was found out on his own territory, it was an internal matter of the Third Route Army after all. How people deal with it is their own business for the Third Route Army, and it is not good for them to meddle rashly. And Yang Zhen also wanted to see how the rumored general political commissar of the Third Route Army, who had always been generous, answered.

Fortunately, the general political commissar did not disappoint him, and pondered for a long time with the telegram: "We can't hand him over to Jiangbei." No matter what his other identity is, there is one thing, he is a traitor to the Anti-Union, and he is a traitor who has brought great losses to the Anti-United Nations. ”

"If such a traitor does not enforce military law, what will the cadres and soldiers below think? Could it be said that we are harboring traitors? Once this view is brought to cadres and soldiers, it is very likely to bring confusion in the minds of the military. Once the morale of the military is scattered, it will be very difficult for us to reverse it in the future. Regardless of his background, this person must be severely punished in accordance with military law. ”

Feng Zhongyun's voice fell, and Jin Ce, secretary of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee, who had not spoken, also said: "I support Lao Feng's opinion. Whatever the person's background, they must be punished severely. Otherwise, it will be difficult to clean up the morale and morale of the army. Nor can I comfort the heroic souls of those cadres and soldiers who died on the road to the west because of his betrayal. ”

"It turned out that the first division, which still had more than 200 troops before the Western Expedition, lost more than half of its strength in less than two months after the main force withdrew. The director of the division's political department and the commanders and political commissars of several main regiments almost all died. I don't believe that these people died in the encirclement and suppression of them by the Japanese army, and the troops below will not believe it either. ”

"Without the merits of this traitor, even if the shape is in danger, it is impossible to sacrifice all the regimental cadres in two months, and there is not a single one left. You must know that these regiment commanders and political commissars are all experienced veteran guerrillas. Whether it is the terrain of the Xiajiang area or the enemy situation, I know it very well. How could this have happened if he hadn't been in trouble? ”

Hearing that Feng Zhongyun and Jin Ce both insisted on severe punishment and opposed sending them to Jiangbei, Li Zhaolin's face turned pale from red to pale, but he didn't speak again. He just nodded slightly, indicating acquiescence. ”。
