The secret war is silent

Luo Yaoliu and Huang Xuecun had a casual meal at Baolin Temple. He did not refuse. It was already dark anyway, so it didn't matter if he went back later.

And if we go back at this time, we will already have nothing to eat.

Luo Yao didn't entertain him specially, he just got some game in the mountains and added two dishes.

Not drinking.

Replace wine with tea.

Then Huang Xuecun, satisfied with the answer he wanted, mounted his horse and galloped all the way towards Shangyuan Village.

"Team Leader Fang, what are you and Team Meng going to do with the man they brought back?" Wei Zhiming came up and asked.

"Why, Staff Officer Wei is interested in this person?"

"Hey, I just want to find something to do. You all are so busy, and I'm just like an idler..."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Counselor Wei to interrogate him first. I'll go check on the work of Group 401." Luo Yao chuckled and didn't refuse. He called out, "Tiger, take Counselor Wei to interrogate that Liu Mantang."

"Brother?" Yang Fan blinked, somewhat confused as to why Luo Yao arranged this.

Luo Yao blinked at him: "Go quickly, this is an order."

"Yes, team leader."

Wei Zhiming was very excited. Although he was a staff officer in Li Delin's attendant's room, he had never been directly on the front line since he joined the army. Secondly, he had never interrogated prisoners.

I finally got an opportunity, but I couldn't take advantage of it. If I reviewed it well, it would be a credit.

…

"Team Fang, in the afternoon, Xiao Lin told me that he found some patterns in the Japanese army's new secret code. He is still checking it. I have arranged for someone to help him check it." Yang Si saw Luo Yaolai's research team and stepped forward. Come and report.

"What method was used?"

"Group theory." Yang Si replied, "It's the method you proposed, team leader."

"Let's go and have a look." Luo Yao felt hot in his heart.

"Let's not disturb him yet. The calculation requires full concentration and cannot be interrupted in the middle." Yang Si interrupted.

"Okay, but you have to remind him to take a rest and keep up with late night snacks. Everyone who participates in the verification project will have an extra egg, a cup of milk, and unlimited supply of coffee and tea." Luo Yao ordered.

"Yes." Yang Si nodded. Working under Luo Yao, you don't have to worry about life problems. Even the troubles at home are solved for you.

Be truly focused on your work.

"Team leader, you have been commanding the battle and participating in the battle personally at the end of the day. Otherwise, why don't you go and take a rest?" Yang Si persuaded.

"You think it's hard for you to be lazy when I watch you work?"

"Even if you don't watch us work, we won't dare to be lazy." Yang Si rolled his eyes at Luo Yao, who knew it was a joke.

"Okay, then I'll do what I'm good at and take a rest." Luo Yao chuckled.

…

Huang Xuecun was eager to return home, and it took less than an hour to rush back to Shangyuan Village from Baolin Temple. At this time, Shangyuan Village was much more heavily guarded than before.

There is a post at three steps and a sentry at five steps.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air.

"Secretary Huang, you are finally back. Mr. De is waiting for your meeting." Huang Xuecun got off the horse and handed the reins to the orderly who came up.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"I received news in the evening that Zaoyang had been captured by the Japanese army. The defending 173rd Division struggled to break through, and the division commander Zhong Yi died for his country."

"What?" Huang Xuecun was shocked when he heard this.

"You'd better go in quickly. Mr. De is in a bad mood. Several people have already been reprimanded." said the subordinate.

"good!"

Huang Xuecun walked quickly into the ancestral hall, came to the door of the temporary combat command room, straightened his clothes a little: "Report!"

"Come in." Li Delin's slightly tired voice came from inside.

Huang Xuecun walked in and saw an empty seat on a bench next to him. He walked over and sat down.

He didn't speak either. At this moment, he was not suitable to speak. He was sent out by Li Delin, and it was not his responsibility to be late. He came later and didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't speak.

Just be a quiet listener first.

Take out the record book.

"The Japanese army occupied Zaoyang, and its main force has already advanced to the front lines of Xiangyang and Tanghe. Their original battle plan was to eat up the main force of our fifth theater in the Zaoyang area. But now, the main force of our theater has jumped out of here and formed on the periphery. An encirclement was formed..." Guo Kezhuang, chief of the Second Section of the General Staff Office, described the situation of both the enemy and ourselves in front of the combat map.

"The enemy's 6th Division Ikeda Detachment penetrated our 11th Group Army head-on at this position..."

The combat meeting is also the latest summary of the battle situation, with constant additions and corrections, to comprehensively display the situation on the battlefield.

Very dull and solemn.

Of course, the most important thing is the prediction of the enemy's attack and the deployment of the next stage of the battle.

Huang Xuecun is Li Delin's confidential secretary and one of his most trusted advisers, so he naturally has the right to speak.

But he came late and could only serve as an audience. It was really not appropriate to speak at this meeting. Of course, Li Delin didn't give him a thumbs up.

The meeting lasted for three hours, and finally a concept was formed to surround the Japanese army near Zaoyang and fight a large-scale annihilation war, and then reported it to Mr. Chiang in Shancheng and the General Staff of the Military Commission.

Li Delin would not follow Chiang Kai-shek's orders to fight. Reporting was just a procedure, and Chiang Kai-shek could not interfere with his command in the mountain city.

But if you don't report it, and Chiang Kai-shek doesn't know and doesn't agree, then some troops won't be able to command. It's common for the Central Army to not obey commands.

When the meeting ended, it was already late at night. Huang Xuecun thought Li Delin was going to take a rest, but unexpectedly he stopped him and wanted to listen to his report.

In a simple room.

Li Delin quietly listened to Huang Xuecun's report on the blocking battle at Baolin Temple and the battle at Dongshanzui Linzi.

Of course, Luo Yao would also have to explain to him in detail why he had predicted the enemy's fate.

"So, we really prevented disaster for others." After hearing this, Li Delin couldn't help but laugh.

"That's not necessarily true. It's not yet proven that this Japs squad is related to the agent named Yagyu Yoshizawa that Team Leader Fang mentioned."

"It doesn't matter. If it's not related to Yagyu Yoshizawa, why didn't they attack other people but Baolin Temple?" Li Delin said.

Huang Xuecun was speechless for a moment.

"Where is Yagyu Yoshizawa now?"

"I don't know. Basically, this Japs team was killed. Only one guide was captured. This guide was taken back to Baolin Temple by Team Leader Fang. The others were basically unable to identify themselves." Huang Xuecun said.

"That's interesting. How did this guide survive?"

"I heard from Team Leader Fang that he took the initiative to ask for mercy. Otherwise, no one would be left alive."

"No, he will definitely leave one alive. It just so happens that this guy asks for mercy. It's unnecessary." Li Delin laughed.

Huang Xuecun's mind turned around and he suddenly realized: "Gong De, this person was left here on purpose, whether he is a guide or a Japanese."

"Japanese soldiers generally do not surrender and beg for mercy. They would rather die on the battlefield. The identity of this guide is very likely to be true." Li Delin said, "But that is not always the case. There may be an accident."

"Gong De, should we pay attention?"

"You should pay attention, but don't ask too many questions." Li Delin reminded, "I believe that Team Leader Fang did not know about this attack beforehand, otherwise he would not have failed to warn us."

"Yes."

"As for Team Leader Fang, try not to mention it to the outside world. The battle is not over yet. After this battle, there will be no shortage of rewards."

"clear."

…

"Team Leader Fang, Team Leader Fang..." Luo Yaocai had only slept for less than two hours when he was woken up by Wei Zhiming's excited shouts.

"Oh, I'm talking about Staff Officer Wei, I just fell asleep..."

"I'm sorry, Team Leader Fang, I didn't know you were resting." Wei Zhiming quickly apologized, "I saw that the lights in the tent were still on, so I thought you were working."

Luo Yao got up. He also knew that this matter could not be entirely blamed on others. Who allowed him to sleep with the light on.

"Okay, tell me what's going on?"

"Why don't you rest first and I'll report to you tomorrow?"

"You woke me up, how can I still sleep?" Luo Yao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about things."

"Team Leader Fang, take a look. This is the transcript of my interrogation of the Japs guide named Liu Mantang." Wei Zhiming handed a stack of transcripts to Luo Yao.

Luo Yao took it, walked under the lamp, sat down, and read page after page without any special expression. After reading, he pressed it under his hands, raised his head slightly and asked: "Counsel Wei, what do you think of this?" A transcript?"

Wei Zhiming didn't know why Luo Yao asked this, but he still replied: "There is no problem in the transcript, the information he gave is also very complete, and his accent is very similar to that of people in the county, so for Yicheng people They are very understanding and I don’t think there is any problem.”

Luo Yao closed his eyes slightly, opened them again, looked at Wei Zhiming and said slowly: "Counsel Wei, you didn't realize that this confession is very clear and organized, and it answered all our doubts about his identity, but Avoiding the important and ignoring the trivial, but there isn’t much valuable information about the situation of the Japs squad?”

"this……"

"A person who can explain himself so clearly shows that he is a careful person. How can he not understand the people and the environment around him? Doesn't he know what he is doing?" Luo Yao asked again.

"Few Japanese are proficient in Chinese. In this sneak attack mission, one of them must be proficient in Chinese. Otherwise, how can they communicate with a Chinese guide?"

"This is one of the doubts, and the second is that it's not difficult just because he has an accent near Suixian County. Please listen to what I say..."

Wei Zhiming was stunned, because Luo Yao spoke in the local dialect of Laohekou. Even a person who had lived in Laohekou for almost a year could not speak so authentically.

"Third, have you checked his physical condition?" Luo Yao asked again.

"posture?"

"There are still some differences in physical characteristics between Chinese and Japanese. If there are injuries on the body, it will be easier to identify." Luo Yaodao.

"This..." Wei Zhiming's face turned red with embarrassment. He didn't expect that after working all night, he would be full of loopholes.

"Also, before interrogating, you must first observe the suspect to see his natural reaction when no one is around, because when no one is around, it can best reflect a person's true state. For example, if he is a soldier, then his The sitting posture is different from that of ordinary people. This is just an example. Staff Wei, if you want to learn, I can teach you." Luo Yao chuckled.

"Really?" Wei Zhiming's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.

"Tomorrow, ask the abbot to borrow a pole, and we will try Liu Mantang again," Luo Yao said.

"good."
