Zhou Jun returned to the room, closed the door and window, and mysteriously took out an envelope and said: "This is some private work I did for you. The situation of those people who were secretly investigated is against the principles. Don't let it out that it was me who investigated."
Otherwise, if the blame comes down from above, not only will I be punished, but even my friends will be implicated."
Jiang Hailong took a few glances at the information and ordered: "Deputy brigade commander, find some clothes for Brother Zhou to change into. Arrange for some good wine and food to quell the panic in the evening. Pay fifty silver dollars for your hard work."
Zhou Jun asked vigilantly: "You won't take bribes and force me to do anything for you in the future, right?"
Jiang Hailong and Li Ming looked at each other and laughed.
In the evening, Jiang Hailong called Li Ming and Bai Lu to the office, took out a few pages of paper and said: "In order to strictly keep confidentiality, I did not directly go to the superiors to investigate but went to Zhou Jun who had nothing to do with the matter. I have read all the information provided by Zhou Jun.
, I think these two people are the most suspicious, and they also know the whereabouts of our last trip to Hushan Town."
He read: "Brigade staff officer Xu Qingyun, 35 years old, divorced and childless. A native of Shandong, graduated from Baoding Military Academy. He was captured by the Japanese army during the Battle of Songhu, and was rescued by friendly forces a month later. This man fought bravely, but had a rough personality.
, was punished for repeatedly beating and scolding soldiers, and his rank was reduced to major. Family background: Both parents are dead, and one younger brother is missing..."
"Duan Guodong, the deputy battalion commander directly under the battalion, is 32 years old and single. He is from Shanghai and has the rank of major. He graduated from the Japanese sergeant school. He has made military exploits in the army and joined the military command two years ago. While working at the Shanghai station of the military command, he cracked a Japanese high-speed
I am the focal point of the class and received a commendation from the top. Family background: father, businessman, mother, housewife. My sister is a nurse at the National Army General Hospital..."
Li Ming said: "I think there is something wrong with Xu Qingshan. His family has no worries, he was captured by the Japanese army, and he was demoted in rank. He must be dissatisfied with the national army and the government, and he is being taken advantage of."
Bai Lu said: "I agree with the deputy brigade commander's opinion. This Duan Guodong has a clean personal history and family relationship. He has also made military exploits. He has good relations with the masses here, so we don't see any problems."
Jiang Hailong said: "It is precisely because his information is so perfect that I can't see any problems, so I think there is a problem."
Li Ming said: "I don't like that guy either. He doesn't have good relations with the masses. He is just trying to please people."
Bai Lu smiled and said, "You mean he pleases Director Lin, right?"
Director Lin likes Li Ming, and Duan Guodong likes Director Lin. Everyone in the direct battalion knows it well.
Jiang Hailong stopped him and said, "Let's get down to business. These two people need to be closely observed. Have you found any abnormalities in the army recently?"
Li Ming said: "The soldiers on guard everywhere did not report anyone sneaking down the mountain."
Bai Lu said: "I detected abnormal radio frequencies, but each time was very short and could not be traced."
Jiang Hailong said: "It seems that this spy is not simple and knows anti-detection methods. We must be more careful in the future. I think we might as well release some true and false news about these two people to lure the enemy into taking the bait."
Xu Qingyun joined the army after graduating from the Baoding Military Academy, and his career was smooth sailing. Just as his name implies, he rose through the ranks. However, the Battle of Songhu shattered his dream of being a general. The weapons and equipment of the national army could not withstand the Japanese invasion.
Due to the fierce offensive of guns, foreign artillery and carrier-based aircraft, the defense line was lost, and the regiment was almost wiped out. Xu Qingyun was stunned by the shells, bleeding from all his orifices, and became a prisoner of war. After enduring a month of inhuman torture in the prisoner of war camp, he was finally rescued by friendly forces.
.
Xu Qingyun's regiment was left empty-handed, and a large number of new recruits were recruited to replenish the supply of troops. His eardrums were damaged and his hearing was damaged. The Political Department often asked him to write about his experience in being captured and in the prisoner camp, which made him particularly irritated. He had to train new recruits.
His tactics were rude and he was demoted. He believed that this was definitely discrimination against him, a captured officer, and he used the topic to play on the topic. Beating and scolding soldiers in the national army was a trivial matter, and he was trained by the fists and kicks of his superiors.
He went home on family leave and found that his wife, whom he had not contacted for a long time, had fallen in love with someone else. He simply divorced and let him live. After returning to the army frustrated, he was notified to report to the independent brigade here.
It is often said in the army that if a staff officer is not a leader, he will not even make a sound. Xu Qingyun knows that he is an official with positions but no power. Fortunately, the food and environment here are good and suitable for living. He muddles through, except for participating in daily training and related meetings
Don’t ask about Pepsi.
One morning during morning exercises, he saw the soldiers of the special agent company training in full swing. He was so eager to teach others that he stepped forward and pointed. The commander of the special agent company, Wang Dali, thanked him politely, but as always he did not do as he asked.
He was so angry that he threw off his coat and shouted: "Captain Wang, you are so arrogant. If you have the guts, let's show it!"
Company Commander Wang refused and smiled as he casually pulled out a small soldier from the team and said, "You can discuss it with Staff Officer Xu on my behalf. Remember, the officer is older and should be gentler."
Xu Qingyun was so angry that the veins in his neck popped out, and he shouted: "Okay, I'll knock him down and come back to you!" He used the moves he learned in the sergeant academy, and he fought in a precise manner, using all his strength to deal with the small soldier. Unexpectedly, he was beaten three times in a row.
Overturned to the ground.
Seeing that he was unwilling to give up, the little warrior pounced on him who fell to the ground, trying to end the fight with a grappling movement.
Company Commander Wang flew forward, grabbed the soldier's belt with one hand and threw him back to the team. He helped Staff Officer Xu up and said: "I can see that your basic skills and moves are still there, but you are losing because of your age."
Recently, secret posts have reported that Staff Officer Xu often avoids people and runs into the mountains. The more people follow him, the farther he runs, making his whereabouts very suspicious. Deputy Battalion Commander Duan is well-behaved and conscientious. He often goes to each company to guide work. He is approachable and like a soldier.
The relationship is harmonious.
Li Ming asked worriedly: "Should we take control measures against Counselor Xu? He is familiar with our defense and firepower configuration. If he finds that the limelight is not right and takes the opportunity to escape, it will be troublesome. Where can we find such a large deep mountain and old forest?"
Jiang Hailong did not answer directly and asked Bai Lu: "You have experience as an agent. If you find that you are suspected, how will you deal with it?"
Bai Lu said: "At this time, I will stand still for the time being and keep the same in response to changes. I will not run away unless it is absolutely necessary. Leaving away is tantamount to admitting failure and giving up the mission."
Li Ming said: "From this point of view, Deputy Battalion Commander Duan's performance is even more questionable."
Jiang Hailong said: "Continue to observe, the suspicions of the two people cannot be ruled out now. Don't worry, the fox will always show its tail. Staff Xu, don't just passively follow him, but first lurk people in the mountains where he often goes to see what he does.
What a name. But if he is a spy, he is too unqualified and too easy to deal with. As for Deputy Battalion Commander Duan, we might as well arrange it like this... Hey, Li Ming, what are you thinking about, are you absent-minded? "
