The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 168
He Wei's Wang Gongguan and his team have gained a lot. They helped the military police eliminate a group of Japanese spies, showed the military police the combat effectiveness of their troops, and also returned a favor.

Secondly, he accidentally discovered the huge amount of property belonging to the traitor Wang Zhaoming. Ever since He Wei came out of Wang's Mansion, he had regarded the money as his own. There was no reason not to take the traitor's money, and it was given to him for free. There is no reason not to take the money. He Wei has been in a very good mood for a few days now that he has an easy way to make money.

A few days later, another "beautiful incident" came that made He Wei's already good mood even better. General Xiao personally sent someone to Xiaoling Guard to invite him to the Gendarmerie Headquarters to discuss important matters. He Wei The moment you receive the order, you can actually guess everything.

This important matter was probably due to the initial progress in the large-scale transfer and evacuation plan agreed upon by Commander Xiao and He Wei, so He Wei excitedly drove to the Military Police Headquarters.

As soon as He Wei entered the city, he was shocked. Recently, he led his troops to move outside the city. It can be said that he knew nothing about the situation in the city. But in just a few days, earth-shaking things happened in the city. As soon as you enter the city, you can feel the atmosphere of tension and panic. What’s even more frightening is that there are almost no people on the streets, even in some of the most prosperous areas in the city. Every household is full of people. The doors and windows were closed tightly, and all the shops were closed, completely losing the charm of the ancient capital.

He Wei was shocked and curious as to what happened to make the city like this?
He came to the Gendarmerie Headquarters full of shock and questions. In Commander Xiao's office, He Wei saw the Gendarmerie Colonel Jin Zhengqiang and General Xiao who had collaborated with him in committing crimes many times. He Wei saw the look and appearance of the two of them. I was in a good mood, and I immediately knew that my guess was correct, and this matter was probably done.

Then, General Xiao asked Jin Zhengqiang to tell him in detail the recent plans and progress of the military police on this matter. Only then did He Wei know what these guys from the military police had done and why such drastic changes had occurred in the city.

It turned out that since He Wei's initial success in pretending to be Japanese and carrying out attacks in the city to create panic, the group of people under the Military Police Headquarters waited and watched for a few days. After finding that the effect was good, the group immediately began to increase their efforts.

In addition to some agencies and senior officers of the Gendarmerie Headquarters, all the Gendarmerie units in the city also participated, including the [-]nd Gendarmerie Regiment, the [-]th Gendarmerie Regiment, the [-]th Gendarmerie Regiment, the Gendarmerie Training Group, the Gendarmerie Special Agent Battalion, etc. , the chief officers of these troops have all been met secretly by General Xiao, and they have all been dealt with. There are huge interests in front of them. Each of these guys is more active than the other. They think that He Wei's outstanding performance has given this case Things have gotten off to a good start, and the next step is to light the fire.

The way these guys lit the fire was unusual. To put it simply, they continued to create panic. First of all, several military police captains agreed that for the subsequent harassment of Japanese agents in the city, they should deal with the next attack by Japanese agents in the city, ignoring small things and focusing on big things.

When the number of people attacked by Japanese military agents is not large, the military police will not be dispatched, allowing those Japanese military agents to do whatever they like. When the number of people attacked is large, the military police will dispatch a small number of troops to suppress them.

And this was just the beginning. Not only did they ignore the attacks by real Japanese agents, they even imitated He Wei, pretending to be Japanese agents and setting off guns and cannons in the city at night to create panic. The chicken is flying and the dog is jumping.

If it ends here, then this group of people has some conscience, but He Wei did not expect that due to the huge interests he presented, the subjective initiative of the gendarmerie troops was maximized and exploited, and they even included the gendarmerie troops. The most secret, the most core, the most confidential things have been moved out, that is - the military police agents.

In the winter of 1933, Gu Zhenglun selected [-] to [-] officers and sergeants from the Military Police Headquarters and the Capital Garrison Headquarters, and established a "Special Agent Education Class" in the Military Police Training Institute, known to the outside world as a "Special Research Class". , the key members of the Fuxing Society's Secret Service were appointed as instructors and given six months of spy training.

After graduation, two "SWAT teams" were formed and assigned to various military police regiments.

In the spring of 1937, the second student team of the "Military Police School Special Agent Education Class" was established.The total number of students is about 40.There are four sources: first, the old commanders and sergeants of the special police teams do not have a military police school degree; second, suitable assistants and subordinates in various departments of the police department; third, each military police regiment has been secretly assessed by the secret service department and deemed suitable for the job. The platoon leader who works as a spy; the fourth is a small number of red renegade intelligence personnel.

This training period lasted for 6 months. After graduation, most of them became cadres of various SWAT teams: captains, team leaders, and team leaders. Some later became deputy directors of the police department, police officers of the Fourth Division (Special Agents) Section - the nominal "Political Police Section" > Section Chief.

Only a few of those who had been trained as officers still returned to the army to lead troops. Gu Zhenglun also personally lectured on the "Ching of Loyalty" and "The Classic of Filial Piety" to this unit, and personally invited Chen Lifu to lecture on "On Living Life".

The main courses of this special education class include: Three People's Principles, Essentials of Gendarmerie Agents, D-Party Analysis, History of International Espionage, Examples of Agents, Intelligence Business, Operational Technology, Detective Science, Makeup Techniques, Cryptography, Chemical Communications, etc., as well as Internships include makeup, fingerprinting, intelligence, tracking, stripping, arrest, assassination, secret communications, etc.

The main instructors hired by this team include: Zhang Yanyuan, Liang Qianqiao, Zheng Jiemin, Yu Lexing, Xie Li.gong, Cheng Yiming, Wang Sicheng, Zhou Fu, etc., most of whom are old spies.

Students trained in this special education class do not need to serve in the gendarmerie after graduation. Instead, they can make a living on their own, find cover jobs, and earn double income, but they must report to the headquarters.

Regardless of whether they are armed or special agents, officers and soldiers are not allowed to join gangs privately. Since they can find another job in society, the special agents from this gang of special education classes have shown their talents one after another. Some have gone to serve in the Army field force, and some have gone to other places. Some of them worked in the industrial sector and social news and newspaper departments, and some even used what they learned in the military police major to become law professors in prestigious universities, and even served as military advisers to powerful factions in some places.

They usually use these public identities as a cover. On the one hand, they work normally, and on the other hand, they accept assignments from the military police department at any time and use their cover identities to perform various spy activities in private.

A sentence that Gu Zhenglun often emphasizes is: "Standing military police officers and special agents are unified."

Specifically, it requires all military police officers and soldiers to perform espionage activities as soon as they wear plain clothes. On the surface, they are civilians, but in fact they are military police agents. In other words, the core essence of this unification is to use ordinary identities as cover to carry out spy activities. Maximize the effectiveness of your spy work.

As a result, these money-minded military police officers unexpectedly found these military police agents who came from the special education class, and told them what He Wei had done, hoping that these agents would use them to gain influence in society. Their influence and special status help build momentum, and of course, may give them very generous benefits.

How could these military police agents not eat this piece of meat when they could get so much money just by talking? So, within a few days, a strange phenomenon appeared in the city. Many law professors from universities, many Well-known lawyers, corporate production consultants in many factories, and even many small bosses and teachers in primary and secondary schools all preached at almost the same time that the Chinese army would be defeated in the Songhu battlefield, and that the Japanese army would reach Nanjing, and that once it invaded Nanjing, , the whole city will be washed with blood.

Needless to say, the results show that the cover occupations of these guys are really good. Most of them are in the middle and upper classes of the current society. They can definitely be regarded as social elites or celebrities. Their influence is also very great. After they did these things, the people in Nanjing's upper class reacted fastest.

After all, they were the ones who had the deepest contact with this group of "part-time agents". After hearing the news that Nanjing might be lost, and that the Japanese army would start a killing spree in the city after Nanjing was lost, these upper-class people decisively chose to leave Nanjing. , and then, this panic and rush to leave Nanjing spread from top to bottom to the middle and lower class people in the city, so there was the depressed scene that He Wei saw during the process.

This chaos caused a storm in the city, and people were in panic. The basic life order and social security order of the entire city were all in chaos. The people were in chaos, order was in chaos, and the institutions were naturally affected.As a result, the Ministry of Military Affairs first sent a questioning message to the Military Police Headquarters, asking what the military police did for food. Later, it even spread to the micro-operation master. It is said that the micro-operation master was also very angry and directly cursed the military police force as a loser. The general was scolded.

But how did he know that this matter was deliberately caused by the military police to make a big deal? He Wei had never thought that the matter would reach this point. He never thought that these crazy people would play such a big game for money. He Wei heard that I was sweating from behind because this matter actually went to the Ministry of Military Affairs and Supreme Leader Chang Kaishen.

Up to now, this matter has actually been out of the control of He Wei and even the Military Police Headquarters. No one knows what it will turn into in the end.

He Wei scolded the military police in his mind that these lunatics would do anything if they saw money, and they didn't know how to do things in a certain way. What he needed was a Nanjing city where the people could retreat safely, not an unorganized and disorderly city. chaotic city.

On the other hand, I felt a little cold on my neck. If the boss really got angry, I started to take it seriously and investigate the matter in detail. If my true identity was found out, it was really uncertain whether my life could be saved. .

What he did was fully worthy of the charge of deliberately causing panic in the city and undermining the cause of the Anti-Japanese War. No matter what achievements he had made before, he was probably not worthy of this charge. He Wei now only hoped that this matter would never happen. If he continues to make a big fuss, or really causes some large-scale turmoil, otherwise, it won't be his turn to save the people of Nanjing, and he will have to find a way to find someone to save himself.

"So, most of the people in the city are now ready to leave Nanjing by boat?"

He Wei asked.

Jin Zhengqiang nodded and said: "You can say that, but you can't leave now if you want. There are already two gendarmerie regiments on the riverside to guard, and martial law has been issued on the river. No one, no gendarmerie No note is allowed to cross the river, otherwise it will be regarded as an enemy agent and killed. All ships on the river except warships have been seized and controlled by our military police. For the sake of city defense security, if you want to cross the river, you must issue a A special ticket sold by the gendarme and accompanied by a gendarme certificate allows you to cross the river on a boat protected by the gendarme.”

"Then, how long will it take for our plan to cross the river to start?"

"It's going to be very soon. It is estimated that it will be just two days later. Today we have set up dozens of ticket sales points in the city and have started selling tickets. The boats that have been collected are also in place and are being prepared. We will wait until the security guard near Xiaguan Once the troops are ready, they can start organizing people to cross the river."

After listening for a long time, there was finally some good news. He Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at General Xiao apologetically.

"It's just that the general was reprimanded."

General Xiao said nonchalantly: "Why do you say this? You also said that in order to save the people, it is necessary to do something extraordinary. It can be said that this is an extraordinary time, so you should do such an extraordinary thing."

"Commander Xiao, this is indeed true, but everything must be done in a certain degree. This matter has caused a big fuss, and our goal has been achieved. Moreover, everyone above the trouble is also aware of this matter. I don't think so. It's time to stop and suppress the matter appropriately, so that Commander Xiao can avoid unwarranted punishment."

He Wei expressed his concern for Commander Xiao in a timely manner and made a request to cool down the matter. Commander Xiao did not refuse. In fact, everyone is a smart person. Now that the matter has turned into such a mess, He Wei estimates that Commander Xiao also had some thoughts.

According to He Wei's speculation, General Xiao's original intention was not to make things happen like this. The reason why it turned out this way was probably because of the little guys under General Xiao who were causing trouble.

There is a saying that goes well, if the sky falls, there will be a high one to hold it up. The huge benefits gained from organizing the people in Nanjing to cross the river, the biggest beneficiary is the gendarmerie in Nanjing, and who is the gendarmerie in Nanjing?That is of course General Xiao. If nothing happens, everyone will get money and dividends together. If something goes wrong, the person at the top will definitely be punished. It is impossible to punish everyone.

With such a mentality, many people must have fueled the flames behind the scenes without any psychological burden, so that this matter has become what it is today. What He Wei wants is a Nanjing city that the people can evacuate in time, not a city that has completely lost its organization. In orderly Nanjing City, if they continue to do this, I am afraid that the civil servants and police in the city will be scared away. Now, it is time to put the brakes on it.

Commander Xiao smiled understandingly at He Wei and said: "He Wei, no need to say more, I understand what you mean. From tomorrow on, the security situation in this city will be as usual. If there are any Japanese agents, For raids, the military police will still be dispatched.”

He Wei also nodded, saying nothing. He believed that General Xiao would understand what he meant.

"He Wei, I came to see you today because there is one more thing. After all, the crossing of the river is about to begin. The military police must also establish basic defenses near Xiaguan and be prepared to maintain basic order. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people will crowd the river. There's a lot of chaos on the other side, there's no need to cross the river, the military police don't know anything about field operations, and you are a cadre from a field force, so why don't you go and give them some advice, and you'll be there early tomorrow morning."

Hearing what General Xiao said, He Wei felt happy. According to his previous plan, organizing the evacuation of the people was actually only the first step. In addition to this step, he also had to establish a strong defense and command center near Xiaguan.

There are two reasons for this. First, crossing the river is not a chaotic crossing. It must be organized and disciplined, so a strong army must intervene. Second, when the Japanese attack, the army will also have to cross the river. Crossing the river here, there will definitely be fighting here during the war. If there is no decent defense, the Japanese will even be driven into the sea.

Now General Xiao offered to help the military police establish a defensive position near Xiaguan. It was the perfect opportunity to facilitate this matter, and He Wei had no reason to refuse.

"I will try my best to help the military police brothers. Please rest assured, sir."
