Chapter 460: There is no need to worry about who is the mastermind behind this. Let’s repel the Japa
Lin Zhenhua was deeply influenced by TV dramas of later generations, mainly because special envoys often defected to the Japanese and became traitors, which made Lin Zhenhua always wary of Ma Xiaobo. As soon as Ma Xiaobo and his party were sent to the base, Lin Zhenhua directly arranged for people to lock them up, without giving Ma Xiaobo a chance to defend himself.
Although doing so attracted a lot of criticism, Lin Zhenhua still did what he wanted. It was precisely because of his arbitrary behavior that the Japanese Trojan Horse operation failed.
"Ma Xiaobo, I have only one purpose for interrogating you, and that is to know how you can contact the headquarters. Even though this method may not be usable, I can only try it out. If I am lucky enough to contact the headquarters, I will make a lot of money!"
"There was a traitor in the independent regiment before. His name was Zhu Ziming, and I was the first one to discover him. My eyes are like Sun Wukong's flaming eyes. They are very powerful. I can identify a traitor like you at a glance!"
Ma Xiaobo had always thought that Lin Zhenhua was deceiving him, but when he saw Lin Zhenhua's piercing eyes, he felt a little timid inside, especially when he thought of some of the legends he had heard. He felt that there was no need to hide it any longer. What if Lin Zhenhua asked him to take pain pills, he would definitely not be able to bear it. It would be better to tell everything he knew in advance, maybe he could save his life. After all, he did not cause any harm and could completely make amends for his crime.
"I am willing to tell the truth, but you must promise to spare my life. If you can't even guarantee that, then I will just have to fight to the end."
Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang discussed it and finally reached a consensus and agreed to Ma Xiaobo's mediation. After seeing the guarantee written by the two, Ma Xiaobo did not continue to hide it and said directly: "I told you before that Xu Zhongyi was not trustworthy, and you thought I was lying. In fact, what I said was true. I went to Ping'an County to meet Xu Zhongyi and revealed my identity. Otherwise, I might not have been caught by the devils."
"The eight guards who protected me were all hired by the Japanese. I really didn't expect that the commander of the guard company was actually a deeply hidden Japanese spy. I..."
As soon as Ma Xiaobo said this, he collapsed on the table. When the monk and Duan Peng were about to help Ma Xiaobo up, he fell to the ground without any sound.
Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang did not expect that Ma Xiaobo would be poisoned to death in front of them. They ordered anxiously, "Monk, go and arrest the person who poured the tea immediately and interrogate him thoroughly."
"Old Zhao, please check quickly. Whoever entered this room today, where did this cup come from? I have drunk the tea in the pot before, and I can confirm that there is no problem. The problem should be with the cup."
Everyone immediately got busy and started tracking down the murderer. They directly traced the murderer to an officer in the logistics department. When they found him again, he had already committed suicide by taking poison.
At the same time, Xu Zhongyi was also poisoned, which also made Li Yunlong very angry. He hurried over to save Ma Xiaobo's life, but it was too late. The death of the two made it impossible to trace the matter further. More and more mysteries confused everyone. Although they didn't know what the two knew, one thing they could be sure of was that there was always a mastermind watching them closely, which made them feel cold all over. This feeling of being watched secretly was very uncomfortable, and they might be caught if they were not careful.
"Old Li, hurry up and execute those nine people. If we keep them around, something terrible might happen..."
While Lin Zhenhua was talking, gunshots were heard in the distance, followed by cannon fire. The three rushed over immediately and learned that the nine people who had been imprisoned wanted to escape with the help of a traitor, but were discovered by the deployed sentries, and a fierce battle broke out.
After learning about the situation, Xing Zhiguo even called in artillery and killed the nine people together with the two traitors. His side suffered 19 casualties, which made Xing Zeguo extremely angry. No matter how aggrieved he felt, he had to endure it. No one had expected that there would be a traitor who wanted to save people.
After several counter-espionage operations, the spies in the base area basically disappeared, but for some reason, they suddenly appeared again today, all to cover up the truth. The intelligence team that the Japanese had previously deployed in the base area was completely wiped out. As for the spies arranged among the new disaster victims, it was difficult for them to play a role in a short period of time. The Japanese lost a pair of eyes to explore the base area of the independent regiment.
"Old Zhao, Old Li, Old Xing, bringing Xu Zhongyi and Ma Xiaobo here should have threatened the safety of the mastermind. This mastermind may have multiple identities, and we must be careful of him. Right now we know very little about this mastermind, and we can arrange some manpower to investigate later, but for now, we should fight this counter-mopping up campaign first." Lin Zhenhua said with a serious face.
Li Yunlong was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger. He felt very aggrieved. He didn't expect that there was someone behind Ma Xiaobo and Xu Zhongyi. Who was this damn mysterious man? Could it be that he really had a grudge against Lin Zhenhua?
"Let's put this matter aside for now. The college students' way of handling it is the most appropriate. We can't let the devils lead us by the nose. We must quickly find out the devils' next move so that we can counter it and win this anti-sweeping war."
Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the 12th Army.
Shinozuka Yoshio sat in the main seat and said with high spirits: "Everyone, my 12th Army has been supplemented by three divisions. The total strength has reached . We have changed the previous predicament of insufficient troops. We can now finally withdraw mobile forces to launch an offensive against the base of the independent regiment."
"Chief of Staff Mitsui is here to introduce the situation of the independent regiment. This battle concerns the stability of northwest Shanxi and the future of all of you. I require each of us to have a deep understanding of the enemy commander's intelligence and never be arrogant or underestimate the enemy. We cannot afford to lose this battle, and neither can our enemies."
Mitsui Ippei stood up from his seat and introduced in a serious tone: "According to the intelligence we have obtained, there are three regiments stationed in the Zhaojiayu area. They are Li Yunlong's independent regiment, Ding Wei's new first regiment, and Kong Jie's new second regiment. Their total strength reaches people, including 24,000 main forces and people in the second-line forces."
"It has 62 arsenals, which can produce light weapons such as rifles, submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, as well as heavy weapons such as artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and fighter planes. Its arsenals have sufficient raw materials and very high production capacity. They also have a large reserve of raw materials, which can fully support its production for more than half a year. It is indeed a tough nut to crack."
"Our enemy has built complete fortifications and deployed large fortress artillery and a large number of artillery positions, which can pose a huge threat to our attacking infantry. We really cannot launch an attack before we take down the enemy's fortress artillery, because such a battle will be so tragic that we cannot accept it. Fortunately, the headquarters agreed to reinforce us with a batch of fighter planes and aviation forces, which gave us the confidence to attack the Zhaojiayu area."
"Today is April 4th. We must set out from Taiyuan City before midnight tomorrow and march quickly to the Zhaojiayu area. After arriving, we will first block the Zhaojiayu area to prevent Li Yunlong and his men from obtaining supplies from the outside world. After the air force arrives, we will use bombers to blow up the enemy's fortress artillery, and then launch an attack on the enemy."
"The enemy we are facing this time is different from the previous ones. Its strength is very strong and can pose a huge threat to the imperial army. We must not take Li Yunlong lightly. We must be careful, cautious, cautious, and cautious. I am not exaggerating. What I say is the truth."
"This is the detailed intelligence we collected earlier. You can take a good look at it and you will know that what I said is true. Our enemy is very powerful. If we still hold on to the previous attitude, it will only increase casualties and it will be impossible to complete the combat mission assigned by the headquarters."
After Mitsui Ippei finished speaking, Shinozuka Yoshio deliberately cleared his throat, attracted everyone's attention, and said in a serious tone: "Chief of Staff Mitsui is telling the truth. The reason why we repeatedly remind you to be more careful is not to boost the enemy's morale and destroy our prestige, but the enemy we are facing is very powerful. Their weapons and equipment are even better than ours. If we can't face the enemy squarely, we are likely to fail."
"We can only win this battle, and we will use 12 troops to attack the enemy's base. If we fail to take it down, our th Army will become the laughing stock of the Central China Expeditionary Force, and even our families back home will be implicated. I ask everyone present to unite and fight this battle with all their heart!"
"In order to ensure that this battle can be fought successfully, General Doihara will provide us with intelligence support. He has planned a large-scale assassination operation, and the preliminary preparations have been almost completed. If this assassination operation can be successful, it will bring us great help."
"As for the war supplies, don't worry too much. I started secretly stockpiling them half a year ago, and I had stockpiled them ten days ago. They are enough for our army to use for three months. If they are not enough, I will find ways to raise more. I can't give a specific time for how long this spring sweep will last. I will never order a withdrawal before successfully taking down the enemy base of Zhaojiayu!"
"The battle plan will be issued after the meeting. All units must immediately start to act according to the requirements. There is no procrastination. We must rush to the designated area within the scheduled time and complete the blockade of the enemy!"
