Chapter 68 Plan C
Meixian Military Police, inside Maeda's office.
Maeda looked very bad. He originally thought that only thirty or forty of the Eighth Route Army had escaped, so he ordered a small group of warriors plus a battalion of Li Youde to pursue them.
Later, it turned into a positional battle. The Eighth Route Army not only dug trenches, but also fought more and more trenches. The imperial army lost more than 20 warriors and countless security troops.
"I heard that you went to Dongxia Village a few days ago? Captain Shen didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Maeda said with a dark face, trying hard to smile.
He was almost like a hanged man, looking at the traitor across the desk.
Li Youcai quickly put away his thoughts and replied: "Yes, I took the police team there to investigate the situation. I was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and almost died there. Captain Shen, uh, was pretty good to me."
"Then have you found out anything?"
In the past few days, in addition to gambling and losing the gun, I did some research and found out that Maeda probably knew all the information, so he couldn't tell the truth.
"Well, in the past few days, I went to the gambling house and found a lot of clues. The one who attacked the imperial army was the Second Company of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. The company commander was called Gao Yidao. But I couldn't confirm whether there were other teams, so I kept No report..."
"I already knew these things!" Maeda interrupted Li Youcai's words: "The ones who attacked the cavalry were the Eighth Route Independent Regiment and the Qiu Feng Guerrilla Brigade. Your information is useless. Do you understand?"
Li Youcai was stunned for a moment, what did Maeda mean by this? So many people died, did Maeda exaggerate that the enemy would find a big one to take over?
"Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade? I understand, I understand, I will check again."
Maeda's mood turned bad, and he thought for a while: "Li Sang, I think you are very smart. The cavalry team was transferred to the gendarmerie in advance and asked you to come over to do a small thing. By the way, you arranged to join the Eighth Route. Eyeliner, is there any new information coming through now?"
Li Youcai was thinking about what the small task that Maeda asked him to do would be: "Not yet. He should still be near Qingshan Village after sneaking into the Eighth Route Army. There has been no contact with him during this period. Other information is still being collected."
"Well, your efficiency is not high enough!" Maeda paused and was obviously thinking: "Although the cavalry is not our Meixian army, what happened happened here, so we are also responsible. Now, we have to find out. Regarding the whereabouts of the Qiu Feng Guerrilla Brigade, Li Sang, I hope you will not disappoint me. In addition, I will investigate a few more minor issues."
"Ah?" Are there a few more questions? Li Youcai was stunned by this question: "Please give me your instructions!"
I guess those few minor issues are the problem.
Maeda thought for a while: "I mean... you let your insiders try to figure out whether the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade is in the independent group. It would be better if you can find their location. By the way, we can understand a few minor issues. We, send We formed a small force and entered the mountain from the north, but lost contact. If you can find out, I will count you a credit."
"Uh, is there anything else?"
"We have received news that this time to block the imperial army and Li Youde's troops, the entire independent regiment was dispatched. There is also another company coming from the Eighth Route Replenishment Regiment. If it is possible to find out where they are stationed."
"Then, shall I go right away?" Li Youcai felt relieved, these things were not complicated.
The only trouble is that it's a bit far, so I have to figure out how to get to the gendarmerie to get some more gas.
"Wait a minute, Maeda opened the drawer and took out a stack of banknotes. After thinking about it, he opened another drawer, took out a brown paper tube, and threw it on the table: "Go ahead, hang out in the gambling house every day, but... I can’t get any news.”
This is a warning. For so much money, it seems that those few small problems are not simple.
From the opened drawer, Li Youcai saw one, with the words "Extremely Secret" written in Japanese that looked like traditional Chinese characters. He often saw such document bags in Maeda's office and didn't care.
When Maeda was picking up Dayang, he came across the document bag and moved it a little. A corner of the page underneath was exposed, and he could see Plan C written in Japanese on it...
"Thank you." It's a lot of money, is it for yourself?
"You're welcome. Remember, no matter what the news is, you must report it to me as soon as possible. In addition, you'd better not go to the gambling hall. Also, regarding Lin Xiu and their whereabouts, you must report it to me at any time. I."
"Hey, don't worry, if you can give me the motorcycle, I will bring you the information no later than five days before dark."
Maeda was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled: "Very good, you are really smart! There is no problem with the motorcycle, and if things are done this time, I can even help you and Miss Lin. I think this should It’s your ideal. To realize this ideal, you have to work harder.”
Li Youcai felt relieved, put away the things on the table, walked to the door, opened the door, and bowed to the military policeman standing at the door. The military policeman didn't know why, but he also bowed to him.
Just in time, Captain Shen turned around and was followed by a military policeman. He saw this scene and when he met Li Youcai, he said hello: "Captain Li, are you here so early?"
Li Youcai had no ill intentions towards Shen, although he extorted his watch.
I just feel a little pity.
"Good morning, Captain Shen. Commander Maeda is waiting for you, right? I have something else to do and I have to leave first."
"Uh, you go ahead first." Captain Shen was not calm. Commander Maeda didn't meet with him, the detective captain, first in the morning, but instead met with Vice Captain Li first.
When he arrived at the door, he quickly bowed to the gendarme guarding the door, beating his heart. As expected, the gendarme at the door ignored him at all. He didn't even turn his eyes to look at him. He followed the gendarme who led him in with a sneer. Maeda Office.
Anyone else would have been nervous when arriving at Maeda and might have been jealous of Li Youcai, but Captain Shen didn't think so. He had already figured out the details of Vice Captain Li. It was said that he was not willing to be the detective captain at all and spent all his time hanging around gambling houses. How could he be successful?
The only traitor who could enter and leave the gendarmerie at will was Li Youcai.
When I came out, I exchanged greetings with the military police at the door. I stood in the sun, threw the empty gun holster diagonally behind me, lowered my black top hat, and tried to arch the brim into a semicircle, but failed. I took out my sunglasses and hung them on the bridge of my nose, then smiled. Walking through the streets and alleys as usual.
I lost two large bills and picked up two packs of cigarettes from the cigarette stall. I hesitated and picked up two more packs.
The cigarette seller was so excited that the bubbles from his nose exploded instantly: "Captain Li, has it been transferred? Won so much money?"
Li Youcai was in a happy mood. He slapped the child on the head, took out a banknote and threw it over: "Remember it first."
"Okay, you can still get eleven packs!" The child touched his head with one hand and counted with the other. He finally figured it out after putting his two hands together.
The traitor dug out a piece of white ash from the wall on the street. After walking for a while, he drew an inconspicuous small circle on a telephone pole.
…
one day.
Two days.
Late at night, a bonfire was lit in the ruined Qingshan Village. Beside the bonfire sat two Eighth Route Army soldiers, one fat and one thin, waiting excitedly.
The contact method agreed with Li Youcai was activated again. The traitor was a little anxious and asked to meet. The person must be from Jiulian, and the appointment location was Qingshan Village.
"Why are you two?"
