The 1138th Falls and Mutations
Since the Sino-Japanese War gradually entered a stalemate stage in 1939, after the Fifth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang, someone began to passively fight against Japan, actively fight against the red, spread and destroy the joint anti-Japanese public opinion, and proposed a strategy of preventing red from limiting red and dissolving red.
If the superior has something to do, the inferior will be effective.
The KMT army, especially around the border areas, has repeatedly created various friction incidents and tragedies, attempting to eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces under the Northwest and its leadership in exchange for Japan's concessions to consolidate its dominance.
From December 1938 to October 1939, the Guo Army and the Shanxi Sui Army had caused more than 150 friction incidents.
For example, in North China, the "Boshan Massacre" and "Shenxian Massacre" were successively created, and in central China, the "Pingjiang Massacre", "Xinji Massacre" and "Queshan Massacre" were created.
A large number of underground party cadres, soldiers, and people separated from their lives were arrested and killed. The situation of the national unity and resistance against the war of has a serious crisis. Overseas Chinese groups in Southeast Asia asked about the mountain city many times after hearing the news.
The other party said that this was an active provocation in the northwest, and the government had no choice but to do so, and there was no intention of destroying the joint anti-Japanese war.
In order to find out the truth, after leaving Chang'an, the Nanyang Inspection and Condolences Group began to visit along the border between the Kuomintang-controlled area and the border area, passing through Yaoxian, Tongguan, Heyang and other cities.
On the way, Xu Enzeng jumped up and down and organized local party investigators and members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to "talk" with relevant personnel in advance, in an attempt to cover up the Fruit Party's behavior of provoking disputes.
Wu Chunyang also arranged for local military commanders to send spies to create and destroy evidence of friction scenes, and one of them is an absolute expert in this regard.
Under the guns of the Guo army and spies, insiders in these places either remained silent or turned black and white, and the condolence group gradually believed the Guo Party's statement.
Zuo Chong watched coldly, without making any statement, nor did he destroy the Fruit Party's behavior of covering up the wrongdoing.
When they arrived at the border area and saw the situation inside the border area, Mr. Chen and others naturally had their own judgment.
If the other party can become a rich man from the bottom, he will definitely not be partial to listen to him or believe him. No matter how much others say, it is better to see him or hear him or her own ears.
On this day, the condolence team ended its trip in Heyang and was preparing to go to the last investigation location - Hancheng. Unexpectedly, the convoy had just left the city and was stopped by a group of people dressed up in the common people.
These people knelt in the middle of the road, each holding a letter in his hand and shouting something loudly. Seeing this, Mr. Chen hurriedly asked Gui Youguang to stop the car and rolled down the window.
"The underground party is disregarding human lives, it's unfair!"
"The border areas rob land, and the law of nature cannot tolerate it."
As soon as the car window opened, I heard a cry of injustice. This made Mr. Chen a little puzzled. He was not an official in the government, so why did the other party shout about injustice to him?
However, considering that the condolences group had plans to inspect the underground party policies, he was still ready to get off the car and chat, and perhaps he could get the truth he wanted from the roadblocker.
Xu Enzeng moved his fat body, opened the car door and stood beside the car, diligently blocking the upper edge of the door frame with his hands, and made way for Mr. Chen to leave.
Gui Youguang, Wu Chunyang and the accompanying spies also got out of the car and quickly surrounded the crowd, checked their IDs and searched them one by one, in case any assassin hides them.
After confirming that there was no problem, Mr. Chen started chatting with the roadblocker one by one, and then his face became increasingly ugly.
According to these people, some of them are "good and rich peasants", some of them are "honest business" merchants, and some of them are "respected" fellow villagers.
The border government had no reason to steal the family business they had accumulated over the years of "hard work" and had to hold a public trial meeting to try them.
Hundreds of acres of fertile land were distributed to mud-legged people who could not read the word, which was simply a sin.
Speaking of this, the roadblockers burst into tears, as if they had suffered a huge grievance. The members of the condolence group couldn't help but frown.
This is completely different from the underground party policy introduced by the Northwest Representative Office of the Shancheng City and the Condolences Group. It can be said to be contrary to the rules.
Thinking that he was also a businessman and a landlord, out of a rank-level position, the members couldn't help but have doubts about the trip to the border area and didn't know whether they should go.
After hearing the "accusation", Mr. Chen was very angry, but he was not impulsive. He calmly took the complaint letter from one of them and took a look.
When he saw Mr. Chen Keci on the envelope, he was stunned. Keci was his word, which had not been used for many years, and only relatives and friends knew about it.
The other party claimed that he was just an ordinary rich peasant. How did he learn about this?
Who told the other party about their whereabouts?
Someone is interfering with it!
Mr. Chen seemed to realize something, glanced at the Fruit Party members with a smile, and slowly asked the roadblocker.
"I already know what you said. By the way, who told you that Chen's name is Keci?"
“This…this…this…”
The "ordinary rich peasant" with a greasy face was stammering and couldn't speak. She subconsciously looked up at Xu Enzeng, but was frightened by the other party's fierce eyes and quickly lowered her head.
Wow, this job is too rough.
Zuo Zhong, who was watching the show, smacked his lips. If he wanted to frame it, he had to find a few people to pretend to be an underground party killer, and then some reporters took photos and interviewed them. Finally, he used to condemn the public in the name of Mr. Chen. Just asking a few fat men to complain about their injustice.
To turn black and white, referring to a deer as a horse is a technical job, and we need to pay attention to methods and methods. The Central Universe is really like a weasel, and a nest is worse than a nest.
Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang also showed mockery. If anyone in the Military Control Commission acts like this, it is inevitable to have a family law. Isn’t this treating people as a fool?
Mr. Chen is a kind person after all, and he doesn't want to make things difficult for the person to block the road. After asking, he got into the car without waiting for a reply and said nothing.
Xu Enzeng, whose face was red and white, followed him. After getting in the car, he lowered his head and put on an ostrich. He hated the Central Commission for Discipline Agency who arranged this matter in great danger and decided to send the other party to the enemy-occupied area when he went back.
Zuo Chong also whistled and got into the car. He ordered Gui Youguang to drive with a smile. He had finished watching the show, so why didn't he leave?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is no loss to see such a farce in the northwest where birds do not shit.
The car drove along the rugged dirt road all day. When it was more than ten kilometers away from Hancheng, Mr. Chen suddenly turned his head and said to Zuo Chong seriously.
"Team Leader Xu, I don't want to see what happened before happen again next, otherwise Chen and the members of the condolence team will return to Nanyang directly."
Regarding this Major General of Guojun who had appeared next to the Chairman, Mr. Chen only knew that the other party was the team leader of the attendant's room, his surname was Xu, and he was also the person in charge of this trip, and he knew nothing about other situations.
Originally, he had a good impression of this low-key team leader Xu. Even if he was away from politics and did not want to get close to the government officials, the two would chat a few times when they had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, the other party arranged that way.
It would be fine to frame the border government, but its methods were so clumsy. This was clearly a joke about the condolence group. Mr. Chen, who was calm on the surface, was already very angry inside.
"Haha, Mr. Chen misunderstood."
Zuo Chong, who was studying the route, put down the map and looked at Mr. Chen with a clear look. He could not tell any guilt. Then he raised his right hand and cursed.
"Xu swears in the name of his ancestors. If that matter is my arrangement, Xu will die under the rifle of guns and will never be reborn."
Anyway, the matter was done by Xu Enzeng, and no matter how vicious the oath was, it was fulfilled by the surname Xu. Of course, Zuo Chong was not guilty.
Mr. Chen stared at Zuo Chong's eyes and nodded after a long time. His eyes would not lie. He asked himself that he was a little sensible and that the other party should not have lie.
Since this matter was not done by Team Leader Xu, there is only one possibility.
His light swept over the deputy director of the Central Commission for the other side and snorted coldly. These spies like to do dirty things like stealing, no wonder they have such a bad reputation.
If the Chairman had not repeatedly requested and said that the investigation required intelligence support, he would never have allowed such a person to join the inspection team.
Xu Enzeng, who died in the society, continued to pretend to be an ostrich, hugged in his seat motionlessly, and secretly prayed to arrive in Hancheng as soon as possible. He couldn't stay in the car for a minute, which was embarrassing!
While talking, the convoy drove into the besieged town outside Hancheng. According to the plan, they will stay here for one night and start the investigation of Hancheng early tomorrow morning.
Zuo Chong leaned against his seat, tilted his head and stared at the seemingly peaceful street outside the window, but as he looked at his pupils suddenly shrank, he said coldly.
"Leave at a constant speed, do not stop, and notify your brothers to be alert."
As soon as this was said, Wu Chunyang, the co-pilot, slowly pulled out a Thomson and placed it horizontally on his knee, gently pulled the bolt with his left hand, and prepared for the firefight.
Gui Youguang, who was driving, flashed the lights a few times. All the military commanders in the convoy raised their vigilance. The convoy maintained its original speed and quickly passed, leaving the town behind.
Xu Enzeng was extremely nervous by this scene. He looked around with a thief, but Mr. Chen was not afraid at all, but asked curiously.
"Captain Xu, is there an enemy?"
Zuo Chong did not answer, which was a rare opportunity to fight, so he signaled Mr. Chen not to worry, and instead asked Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang if they saw the problem.
Faced with this problem, not only Mr. Chen, but also Xu Enzeng showed doubts.
This town seems to be no different from other towns in the Republic of China. It is simply that there are more shops and more population than ordinary towns.
But Hancheng is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years. It has been an important hub on the west bank of the Yellow River since ancient times. It is normal for many people and many stores.
Wu Chunyang carefully recalled the pedestrians, shops and vehicles on the street, his mind was running at high speed, and his eyes lit up after a moment.
"The owner of the fruit stall at the corner of the street has a problem. When the customer comes, the other party doesn't speak. Instead, he looks at the road. The team leader is monitoring us."
Although it was just a sweep and the observation window was only a few dozen seconds long, Wu Chunyang still discovered the flaws from hundreds of suspicious people.
Immediately afterwards, Gui Youguang also gave an answer.
The big bald man did not find a specific goal, but felt that the atmosphere in the town was a bit wrong, which was the intuition developed by long-term field work.
The two of them had nothing wrong with their answers, but Zuo Chong was still dissatisfied, which was far from his observations. He immediately scolded with a gloomy face.
"I think you are going back and forth. There are only one thing that can be seen in so many flaws. It is worse than some waste. Come back and practice it for me!"
After a bit of sarcasticity, he ignored Xu Enzeng who was gritting his teeth and picked up his arms and said slowly.
"In addition to the fruit stall, there are obviously three people who are not right. The first one is a middle-aged male guest sitting at the table in the hotel lobby.
This person ordered a table of wine and food, but only moved the food in front of him. The other dishes were not moved. Isn’t this suspicious?
There is also a guy standing at the door of the shop next door. There is nothing wrong with the other party's disguise. The problem is what the customer did after entering the store, and he did nothing.
Who would do this business? Such a winkless guy is afraid that he will be fired if he can't do it for a day. This is also very abnormal.
The third hidden man is the patrolman at the intersection. This man looks like there is no flaw at first, but his expression betrayed him.
Mr. Chen, you have lived overseas for a long time and are rarely in the Republic of China. You rarely come into contact with the public. Do you know what a real patrolman looks like?”
As he said that, Zuo Chong suddenly looked at Mr. Chen and asked, and continued without waiting for the other party to answer.
"Impatient, irritable, just live by and look for every opportunity to be lazy, instead of commanding traffic in a regular manner as you did just now.
Of course, this can be explained by the fact that the other party has a patrol shortly after he became a patrol officer and has the intention to do things and has not contagious of the bad habits of other old police officers.
However, the other party looked in his thirties and did not have any awkward or nervous expressions on his face. He must be no newbie."
After Zuo Chong's explanation, Mr. Chen suddenly realized, Xu Enzeng was stunned, Wu Chunyang looked annoyed, and the big bald man bared his teeth embarrassedly.
Now it is confirmed that the condolence group has been targeted, so there is only one question left, how to arrange the following itinerary.
If those suspicious people are enemies and their whereabouts have been exposed, they are likely to encounter an attack. Whether to leave or stay, they must make an idea as soon as possible.
