Rise from the sword

Chapter 247 Spies and Bait

"Old Zhao, have you figured out who the spy is?"

Walking into the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong kept smiling and asked Zhao Gang who was lying on the table writing and drawing.

After a period of investigation, the two of them had narrowed down the suspicious targets to the security department and the guard platoon, and ruled out the rest. Next, it was only a matter of time before the spies were found.

And it won't be too long.

"not yet."

Zhao Gang didn't raise his head, and continued to record his notes on the "independence group's first anti-espionage incident": "But it has been confirmed that this spy is basically a certain officer of the security department."

The security section and the security platoon have the same responsibilities, both of which are to protect the security of the regiment headquarters.

However, the guard platoon is part-time communications, and often has to go out to deliver information and follow Li Yunlong or Zhao Gang to act, while the security department is responsible for the security of the regiment headquarters full-time, screening suspicious personnel nearby, and preventing spy infiltration.

Due to the shortage of manpower, the Security Section will occasionally go out to perform liaison or other tasks alone.

"Secretary officer?"

Li Yunlong's eyes froze, and his smile disappeared.

The security section has much fewer personnel than the security platoon. There are only seven people in total, which is less than an infantry squad. There is a nominal section chief who is treated as a company commander, and six ordinary officers who are treated as a squad leader.

But because he often stays with the regiment headquarters, the security department knows more secrets than the security platoon.

Moreover, the security department is full of intellectuals who can read, write, and draw. They are rare talents in the independent regiment.

Zhao Gang raised his head and said the reason of his speculation:
"This spy only joined the devil recently, and later passed some information about our regiment to the devil."

"To gain the trust of the devils, it takes a lot of time, at least a day or so. In the last month, because of the devil's big sweep, we went to meet them. The battalions in the regiment are adjacent to each other, and the guard platoons follow the regiment headquarters. action, hardly ever going out alone for long periods of time."

"It's the security department. At the end of the last battle, the security platoon moved with the regiment headquarters, and the security department went to contact the battalions and companies to convey the retreat order. This time, three officers lost their way."

"It should be during this period that a security officer was captured by devils and then instigated against him."

Although it is still unclear who the spy is, Zhao Gang easily guessed the truth.

"This should be."

Li Yunlong nodded suddenly, then frowned:
"But it's normal to get lost, and this cannot be used as evidence."

Going out to fight, not familiar with the place of life, and the troops were retreating at that time, and the positions of the battalions and companies were not fixed. It is normal for people who go to contact to get lost, and it is even a very common thing.

The soldiers of the guard platoon often got lost and were late when they communicated and delivered information.

Therefore, this is not conclusive evidence. If it is used as a confrontation, the spy will definitely kill him and refuse to admit it.

As for getting lost, no one can verify the authenticity.

Although during the war, Li Yunlong had a hundred ways to make a security officer disappear without arousing anyone's suspicion, but he didn't want to do so, but hoped to use this as a lesson for the entire regiment to learn from .

"I know."

Zhao Gang naturally knew it too, he smiled slightly:
"I have sent people to follow these three security officers, and I have sent people to investigate the recent whereabouts of these three people."

"This spy has delivered news to the devils. He must not do it near the regiment headquarters. At least he must be away from the secret post, otherwise he will be easily discovered. That is to say, when he sends news to the devils, he must leave Yangcun for a while. more than a kilometer."

"It's impossible to leave Yang Village more than one kilometer away without being discovered."

The security circle of the independent regiment is multi-layered, and there are almost no dead ends. No matter day or night, if people from Yang Village leave, they will definitely be found.

"Correct."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up:

"If you want to send a message to the little devil, you must be at least one kilometer away from Yang Village. It is impossible not to be discovered by the secret sentry."

Leader Li has almost absolute confidence in the Yangcun light and dark sentries he personally set up. This is the result of many tests.

"And since this spy was sent back by the little devil, he definitely won't just pass on the news once. Next, he will definitely pass on information to the devil. As long as he is caught on the spot, he won't be afraid that he won't admit it."

"Haha, Lao Zhao really has you, and you are worthy of being the Wenqu star of our independent group."

In the end, Li Datuan easily flattered Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang rolled his eyes and ignored the words of Chief Li Datuan. He finally concluded that if this guy praises you, don't pick up on it, or he will definitely give you an errand.

"Political commissar, head."

At this moment, Wang Gensheng's voice came from outside.

"Come in."

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up.

Wang Gensheng was the person he sent to track down the three security officers.

The leader of the special team who came from the new regiment and has dozens of devils' lives in his hands can definitely be trusted.

Wang Gensheng, with a pistol pinned to his waist and a binoculars hanging on his chest, walked in. He got straight to the point:

"Leader, political commissar, I already know who the spy is!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong looked over at the same time, with surprise on their faces.

Is it that fast?
Wang Gensheng continued:
"Political Commissar, I went to meet with the three officers of the security department that you asked me to follow. One of them has been sneaking around today. He obviously has something on his mind, so I followed him personally."

As a scout, Wang Gensheng's observation ability is extremely keen, but Zhu Ziming is a novice spy after all, and his mental quality is not good. Maybe ordinary people can't see anything, but he often gropes Wang Gensheng under the nose of devils. , It is easy to see that something is wrong with this kid.

"After lunch today, this kid found an excuse to leave Yang Village. I followed him all the time. Finally, he left this at a place three miles away from the village."

As he spoke, Wang Gensheng handed over a folded piece of paper.

"Who?"

After receiving the paper, Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

What Li Datuan looked down on the most was the spies who took refuge in the devils.

If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then don't join the army. The independent regiment never forces people, and he has already said that if you are afraid of death and want to quit the team halfway, you can do it at any time, and he will never stop you.

Look at the soldiers in the guard platoon. Every time they sent information, they wore an open grenade around their waists. At the beginning, the Yamamoto secret service team ambushed halfway, but they didn't catch a single one alive.

If you don't have the will to die, what kind of devil are you here to fight?Come to join the Eighth Route Army.

As for being caught and tortured by the little devil, he couldn't stand it and surrendered.

Even if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then you should get out and leave the independent regiment. Since you are still lurking in the independent regiment afterwards and continue to disclose information about the independent regiment to the devil, then don't blame him for being rude.

"Security Officer, Zhu Ziming."

Wang Gensheng said it word by word.

"It was him."

Zhao Gang also had a flash of murderous intent.

The lives of so many intelligence agents in Shouxian County, this account must be fully credited to this person.

"huh..."

Flipping through the information in his hand, Li Yunlong suddenly sneered:
"It turns out that our spy was developed by Kazuki Yamamoto."

Because of the rush of time, Zhu Ziming has not received the devil's spy training, so he is a complete novice. He uses all plain text to transmit messages. The format is the same as that usually sent by troops to their superiors. daimyo.

"Kazuki Yamamoto?"

Zhao Gang took the paper curiously and read it.

"It turns out that the old devil doesn't understand how we transported the machine back, so let's ask the spies."

Looking at the contents inside, Zhao Gang also sneered.

The devils obviously didn't know the existence of the big mule, and they didn't know how powerful the big mule was. They were puzzled how they transported those more than 100 kilograms of machinery and equipment back.

"The purpose of the devils to release this spy is to attack our regiment headquarters..."

Seeing the end, Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes.

Among the information Zhu Ziming passed on was information about the big mule, and he conveniently delayed his long-term mission to investigate the security and defense measures around the independent regiment headquarters.

"Wang Gensheng, go and arrest him."

Putting down the paper in his hand, Zhao Gang said murderously.

Actually cooperating with the devils in trying to murder the security of the regiment headquarters, this must be shot.Not to mention the intelligence officer who died because of this person.This is obviously a spy who went all the way to the dark.

"and many more···"

Li Yunlong stopped Wang Gensheng suddenly: "I think we can leave him alone for the time being and let this information pass on."

"You want to use this spy..."

"But····"

Zhao Gang frowned.

He understood what Li Yunlong meant, and used Zhu Ziming to pass false news to Yamamoto, and then lured Kazuki Yamamoto into being fooled, but this would inevitably lead to the leakage of part of the independent group's information.

In order to prevent being tricked, the little devil will definitely use the secret code agreed with Zhu Ziming, and will also confirm the accuracy of the information through other channels. It is impossible for them to forge the contents of the letter.

"There is no harmful information that Zhu Ziming passed on to the devil this time."

"There are quite a few at the Big Mule headquarters, and we use it with great fanfare, so we can't keep it secret. Even if the devils don't know, they can guess that we have special means of transportation, so there's no need to hide it."

Li Yunlong said:
"Yamamoto wants to get the defense and warning methods of our regiment headquarters. He must be planning to repeat the old tricks and bring his special agent team to sneak attack on my headquarters. We can also follow the plan and set up a bureau to kill the old devil Yamamoto."

"As for Brother Chen's business, we only need to find the spies. We don't have to catch and shoot Zhu Ziming."

"Row."

Zhao Gang thought for a while, and there was almost no danger in this matter, so he agreed, and took the initiative to take over the job: "I will take responsibility for this matter."
