The Spy

Chapter 421 Catching the Traitor
There are some things he didn't say. The future prospects of the Shanghai Gendarmerie Command will definitely be better than those of the Wuhan Garrison Command.

The status of the Security Command is even lower than that of the lower-ranking brigade, and it is purely a garrison force.

Not to mention the regular divisions, there is no comparison at all.

In the garrison headquarters, even if you become a commander, your status is far lower than that of a brigade commander in the field army.

The Military Police Command was different.

If he has the opportunity to get out of here in the future, he can join a regular field army, or even serve as a battalion commander in an ace division. In this way, he will have a greater hope of becoming a regiment commander, or even a brigade commander or head of a mission in the future.

His purpose was to have better promotion channels, but there was no need to state this explicitly.

"Okay, I'll help you with the paperwork."

Taro Yoshioka agreed immediately. Watanabe was willing to take the risk of leaving the photos to tell him the truth, which would be completely fair to his dead brother.

It was a big risk to do this, and he believed what Watanabe said.

No one would not want a loyal subordinate.

Not only will he transfer Watanabe over, he will also use him and make him his confidant in the future.

No matter where you are, everyone likes loyal ministers, especially capable and meritorious ministers.

Watanabe was able to discover something unusual after Yoshioka's death, which was a manifestation of his ability. After discovering it, he did not make it public, but ran to reveal the truth to himself and seek justice for Yoshioka, which was a manifestation of his loyalty.

Who wouldn’t like such a person?

"Thank you, sir."

Watanabe immediately changed the address to "sir", indicating that they were one of his own and that Watanabe recognized Taro Yoshioka as his master.

The way he came over was the safest.

"I'll have someone take you to rest. You stay in Shanghai for now until I take care of Shilang's matter."

Taro Yoshioka nodded with satisfaction. Shiro's death was so unjust, he must help Shiro get revenge.

Oda is so bold that he really thinks he can't control what's happening in Wuhan just because he is in the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters?

This kind of thing is under the jurisdiction of the gendarmerie.

Although the military police in Wuhan were not under their control, this matter involved him. In addition, Oda was of a high rank, so he could easily bring the case to Shanghai and investigate Oda.

It is not difficult to do. Although Shiro's body has been destroyed by Oda, these photos will become the most favorable evidence.

In addition, there are witnesses.

The kaishakunin is the key. We need to catch him first and wait for him to speak. Then we can punish Oda.

This time Oda will definitely die.

He couldn't be impatient with the case. Since he didn't have the corpse as evidence, he planned slowly. It would be best if he could get Oda's own hard evidence. This way, things would go much more smoothly.

Anyway, Oda is also a general, and it is not easy to deal with him.

At Wuhan Wharf, Jiang Zheng got off the boat.

He was using a fake identity at this time.

He had to contact He Rongtang first, and then go to Xiaohuangshan. He was already clear about the specific mission this time. Fu Wenzhen told him that Stationmaster He would help him write a promotion report, and his matter would be specially approved and handled. By the time he arrived at Xiaohuangshan, he would become a lieutenant colonel.

Boss Dai's incorporation of Xiaohuangshan is a good thing for the Military Control Commission and even the Guo Party.

Xiaohuangshan made its own name and inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese.

Although the enemy was fighting against the second-line security forces, they were also Japanese. If it were on the front battlefield, even with this kind of garrison forces, the Guo army would still have to pay a huge price to achieve such a great victory.

I have to say that the combat effectiveness of Japanese soldiers is very strong nowadays.

Especially the shooting skills.

The Battle of Shanghai left behind many bloody lessons.

After firing, they could not stay where they were. The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side could hit them with three shots at most.

Many people were careless and didn't expect the Japanese to be so good at shooting, and they ended up suffering the consequences.

During this period, the Japanese training was very strict. Even new recruits had to undergo at least nearly a year of training.

Japan is a small country with a small population, and its target is the huge China. They are well aware that they will definitely fail in a manpower competition with China, so they put more effort into improving individual soldier capabilities.

The amount of bullets used by the Japanese soldiers in training was ten times that of the Guo army.

Their training was more difficult, and coupled with the original hierarchy and Bushido spirit, the Japanese soldiers' combat effectiveness was much higher than that of the Guo army.

When facing the Guo army, they often won with fewer troops.

Now that Xiao Huangshan has emerged, we have defeated the Japanese soldiers with fewer troops and won a great victory. No wonder Boss Dai is so dedicated and tries every means to recruit them.

Even if it's just in name, this power always belongs to Boss Dai.

If the power seizure succeeds in the future, Xiaohuangshan will become a powerful weapon in Boss Dai's hands.

The sharpest knife.

Boss Dai attached great importance to this matter. He did not object to He Rongtang asking Xu Qingyun to borrow people, but supported it instead.

He knew Xu Qingyun well. His ability to lead troops was impeccable and his subordinates were all elite soldiers and generals.

After Jiang Zheng arrives in Wuhan, He Rongtang will not meet him immediately.

Even if he trusted Xu Qingyun, he had to keep himself safe. Jiang Zheng had been in Wuhan for a day and immediately noticed the signal given to him in the newspaper and went out of the city as agreed by the signal.

This signal had been set before he set out.

It was a job recruitment notice with a code word in it that would tell him where and when to meet.

This time we are going to Sanshili Village outside the city, which is not very close.

Jiang Zheng got on a carriage outside the city and arrived at Sanshili Village in the afternoon.

Someone was already watching, mainly to see if there was anyone following Jiang Zheng.

"Go take him to location number two."

The head of the intelligence team came to check it out in person. He was not in the town, but on a high place far away, observing with a telescope.

He didn't need to watch the carriage, just the place where they agreed to meet.

He also knew Jiang Zheng.

Once it is safe, he will have someone bring Jiang Zheng out, and then personally take him to see the stationmaster.

Jiang Zheng had no weapons on him and was quickly found by people from Wuhan Station and taken away.

Location No. 2 is not far away, but the surrounding area is very open, so if there is any abnormal situation, we can evacuate immediately.

He Rongtang attaches great importance to safety issues.

He is behind enemy lines, not in his own territory. If he is not careful, he might be killed one day.

"Stationmaster He."

When he saw He Rongtang, Jiang Zheng immediately stood up and saluted. He was transferred to Wuhan Station and would be a member of Wuhan Station from then on.

However, the section chief said that as long as he made great contributions, he would be transferred back in the future.

He doesn't know if he can go back, but he will keep trying.

"Yes, long time no see."

He Rongtang returned the salute and enthusiastically brought him to his side.

Jiang Zheng's rank of lieutenant colonel will be confirmed soon. In terms of military rank alone, he will have the same rank as the group leaders of each group in Wuhan Station, even the leaders of a large group. The group leaders cannot compare with him.

He was borrowed by He Rongtang, so He Rongtang would definitely show the right attitude.

"Thank you for your hard work this time. Xiaohuang Mountain is very important. Here are some of the situations I have learned. Please take a closer look. You can stay here for the next few days. When your promotion order comes down, I will arrange for someone to take you to Xiaohuang Mountain."

Jiang Zheng's mission was to be carried out in Xiaohuangshan. He Rongtang only arranged a place for him to live and left a team member to take care of him.

There was no need to bring him to his own station. After settling Jiang Zheng, He Rongtang immediately returned to his hiding place.

He now has to deal with the internal problems at Wuhan Station.

After so many days of secret searches, they have determined He Yuhang's residence.

He Yuhang was a traitor at their previous Wuhan station. He brought them considerable losses and many brothers died because of him.

The team members at the Wuhan station hated him so much that they wanted to cut him into pieces.

But He Rongtang didn't want to kill him directly now. This traitor had met the Japanese high-level officials in the city and gained their trust. It would be very useful to keep him alive.

He Yuhang was a former spy and knew many anti-detection techniques.

The action team in Wuhan only knows those things, and they were all taught by the same master and cannot be broken.

Through observations over the past few days, I have found that He Yuhang is usually very vigilant and his methods are cunning.

He Rongtang was worried about letting the action team arrest the criminals on their own, so this time he decided to go into the city to command the action himself.

This was not an adventure, but a plan that He Rongtang had made long ago. Wuhan Station could not remain outside the city forever and must be moved back into the city in the future.

There are many inconveniences outside the city. They are the intelligence department and they have to be on the front line. If they stay outside the city all the time, Boss Dai will not allow it.

He Rongtang had tried several times in the past few days to ensure that he would not be exposed when entering the city.

He Rongtang left a confidant in their temporary residence to guard various files and telegraph machines.

Make sure no thief or drunkard stumbles in and discovers their secret.

When entering the city, He Rongtang made a simple disguise. He made sure that he had not left any photos, but he still had to be prepared in case the Japanese drew a portrait based on the traitor's words.

They had already bribed the puppet soldiers standing guard at the gate.

These puppet soldiers had big appetites, but they could be let go as long as they were paid, which saved He Rongtang and his men a lot of effort.

Some of the team members in the city were waiting near He Yuhang's house, and the rest gathered together waiting to meet up with He Rongtang.

He Yuhang's left eye has been twitching recently, and he always feels that someone is trying to target him these days.

Sometimes he felt like he was being watched on the road, but he made several counter-detection moves and found nothing.

Maybe my nerves have been tense for too long.

He has not slept well since he sold out the information from the Wuhan station.

He always felt that someone would come to take revenge on him. He Yuhang knew how ruthless his colleagues were and how much they hated him.

The Japanese have recently been confused by the false information released by He Rongtang as a test, and always summon He Yuhang to identify and blame.

There was even news that He Rongtang was going to bring people to the city to kill him, which made He Yuhang always suspicious. After several days of investigation without any results, the case was dropped.

The person who spread the false news was naturally He Rongtang, in order to test how much information the Japanese had about him.

He also sent his men to find a gangster to impersonate He Rongtang and hand him over to the Japanese.

Through undercover investigation, it was discovered that the Japanese had no means to confirm He Rongtang's appearance except for the traitor He Yuhang, which was why he dared to enter the city.

At night, red lights flashed on the streets. The Japanese had occupied Wuhan for a long time, and this prosperous city was slowly recovering.

He Yuhang dragged his tired body back home.

He had just returned from the Japanese and had been busy all day, and all he wanted now was to have a good night's sleep.

He Yuhang checked the hair stuck in the crack of the door, and found nothing unusual, so he went into the house.

The members of the task force knew that he was difficult to deal with, so they did not enter the house to search for fear of alerting the enemy.

As He Rongtang gave the order to move out, several agile team members were the first to climb over the wall.

He Yuhang was cunning and stuck broken glass upside down on the wall.

One team member's hand was stabbed and blood was flowing, but he tried hard not to make any sound.

He knew very well that if he cried out in pain, the entire operation would fail.

The team leader who came in with him gestured to him and asked him to rest in the yard first.

Then he gently pried open the inner door and gave orders with gestures.

This operation must be cautious, and no movement can be made until it is confirmed that the target can be captured.

He Yuhang's home was very close to the Japanese garrison in the city. Once discovered, none of his team members would be able to escape.

Therefore, they could only go in secretly and kidnap He Yuhang. It was impossible to just go in and arrest him openly.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch dark and visibility was very low.

The team members could only search slowly.

No targets were found in the living room or hallway.

The door of the restaurant was open and the lights were off, but the moonlight shining through the gaps in the curtains confirmed that there was no one inside.

The final search of the bedroom still did not reveal He Yuhang.

The team leader frowned. They watched He Yuhang return home. Could this man just disappear out of thin air?
The quilt was spread flat on the bed with some wrinkles.

The team leader reached his hand in and found some residual warmth under the quilt.

He was suddenly startled and shouted, "No, we've been discovered. Let's search where he ran from."

Opposite He Yuhang's house is a small three-story villa.

The third floor here was originally occupied by a traitor, who has been dealt with by the action team.

He Rongtang and some of his men were monitoring here.

We only have one night tonight. When the puppet army gathers tomorrow and finds that there are few people, they will definitely search this place.

The monitoring point can no longer be used.

He Rongtang was observing through the window. The action team had been in there for almost two minutes, but there was still no movement.

This made He Rongtang very uneasy.

A black shadow flashed from behind the house. He Rongtang had sharp eyes and immediately noticed something unusual.

Seeing the direction the black shadow fled, He Rongtang sneered. This traitor was really difficult to deal with. He actually ran away. They had carefully observed the surroundings before. His team members did not have much time to go in, and it was impossible for them to escape alone.

The one who ran out must be He Yuhang.

Fortunately, He Rongtang was cautious and arranged everything in advance.

He led his team downstairs.

When they arrived, He Yuhang had been pinned to the ground by the people who were lying in ambush behind him, and the gun in his hand had been taken away.

"Long time no see, Captain He."

He Rongtang looked at He Yuhang who was forced to lie on the ground, and said coldly that it was this man in front of him who caused the Wuhan station to lose so many team members at one time.

The team members who were searching in the house also chased out and found a secret door hidden in the bathroom.

"take away."

He Rongtang opened his mouth and gave the order.

Taking advantage of the night, the team members left in batches and escorted He Yuhang back to the base.

This small base was a property purchased by the spy planted by He Rongtang.

It is far away from the city center and there are no Japanese guards nearby, so it is relatively safe.

The house is big enough.

When Wuhan Station is moved to the city in the future, this place can also be used as a temporary base.
