In the darkness, a pair of eyes kept staring at the group of returned prisoners of war.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!

It is impossible for Zhao Zhiguo to gamble with the safety of the soldiers and civilians in his defense zone.

Therefore, Zhao Zhiguo must be cautious about many things.

"Deputy Commander, the mouse has come out of its hole!"

"Catch everyone, tie them up, and lock them up separately."

Everything is under the control of Gao Cang and Zhao Zhiguo.

"Deputy commander, what should we do with the two who didn't run away?"

"Send someone to guard the door and let the regiment commander handle it early tomorrow morning. Only the regiment commander likes to do such a troublesome thing." Gao Cang said, "Our battalion also has to train militiamen, and I don't have time to play with a few rats.

hide and seek."

The defense of Anyang Town and surrounding areas rests on the shoulders of Gao Cang alone, and his job is no easier than that of Zhao Zhiguo.

If the situation was more tense in the past, in order to prevent problems in one's own defense zone, Gao Cang's advice would be to leave no one behind.

After dawn, Zhao Zhiguo rode to Gao Cang's headquarters.

"Not bad, Lao Gao, you can afford tea. What kind of tea is this?"

"This isn't tea, it's honeysuckle. As the old Chinese medicine doctor said, honeysuckle can eliminate fire and clear away toxins. The weather is getting hotter day by day. I have to eliminate fire in advance."

"Hey~ I thought you, Lao Gao, could afford to drink West Lake Longjing. I also wanted to drink some."

"Can I afford Longjing? Unless you can give me some." Gao Cang said, "Captain, everyone is locked up for you. I will not accompany you anymore. The guards in my headquarters are at your disposal. I want to

Go and see our position."

"Can you come back at noon? Let's have a meal together!" Zhao Zhiguo shouted to Gao Cang's back.

"I may eat at the position. Today I will go to a nearby village to see how the militia training is going."

Gao Cang waved his hand and said goodbye directly to Zhao Zhiguo.

"Okay, this headquarters belongs to me today, Yao Pengju. I don't need to teach you how to interrogate those people, right?" Zhao Zhiguo said to Yao Pengju.

"Separate trial, just say that everyone else has been recruited, but he himself has not been recruited!"

"The fact that two people did not escape does not mean that they are not suspected and must be tried," Zhao Zhiguo said.

The two who didn't escape might be hiding deeper.

"How should we interrogate those two people? We can't torture them to extract a confession, right?"

Those two people were at least wearing the guise of Chinese soldiers. It was definitely inappropriate for Zhao Zhiguo to use torture to interrogate them.

Zhao Zhiguo touched his chin: "Give them food, blindfold them, send them away from the Anyang Town area, and tell them that if they go west, they will have a way to survive."

Without enough evidence, those two people couldn't be killed, but they couldn't be kept either.

"I understand! Don't you want to meet these two people in person? Maybe there is a real master among these two people."

If the people who escaped stayed to protect the people who stayed behind, then those two people must have gone through a lot.

In fact, Zhao Zhiguo was also suspicious, but they didn't have any evidence in their hands.

"You go to the interrogation first, and I'll wait for your news. When you get news from here, it won't be too late for me to go see those two people."

As for whether those two people were traitors or loyal, Zhao Zhiguo couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Do you think the two of them are little devils and are very proficient in our culture?"

Yao Pengju's guess was even bolder, and he directly suspected that the two men were imps, but like Yao Pengju, they were good at pretending to be opponents.

If no evidence can be found, just let them go. Wouldn't it be like personally letting two little devils who are well versed in China go back?

"No matter what, we cannot kill our compatriots without evidence, do you understand?"

You must have a bottom line as a human being. When you point the knife in your hand at your compatriots, the justice that Zhao Zhiguo represents will disappear.

Yao Pengju nodded: "I'll go to the interrogation!"

The interrogation soon yielded results, and two people were indeed related to the Japanese army.

They were indeed Chinese soldiers originally, but they suffered so much in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camps that they finally succumbed to the Japanese army and became their lackeys.

"They said that in the prisoner-of-war camp, they almost didn't know each other. They were imprisoned together only after the Japanese army assigned them tasks. They were imprisoned together for about half a month."

"That is to say, the little devil has been planning this matter for at least more than twenty days now!"

"So I think the plan to exchange prisoners of war should be a long-term plan of the Japanese army, not a whim."

Zhao Zhiguo touched his nose: "Are you saying that the identities of those two people are more suspicious?"

"Yes! The Japanese army may be using the purpose of exchanging prisoners of war to insert people into our army. Maybe those two people are little Japs."

Yao Pengju has never been so convinced of his judgment.

Years of war instinct told him that the identities of these two people were unusual.

"We cannot kill people without evidence, at least we have no way to prove that they are not our compatriots."

Of course, Zhao Zhiguo also had doubts in his heart, but doubts were doubts after all. He could not do the kind of thing where he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go.

"Then you have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Although letting them go will not cause us losses, the enemy is the enemy!"

Two enemies who are proficient in China disguise themselves as compatriots. If they are not eliminated in time, they can obtain more valuable information about China wherever they are placed.

In other words, let the tiger return to the mountain!

The tigers entered Zhao Zhiguo's cage. Zhao Zhiguo not only did not kill them, but also let them go. Although it did not harm Zhao Zhiguo, it would also harm other Chinese armies.

"It would be great if they were just two losers who surrendered to the enemy!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "I'll go see them."

No matter who the other person is, you should meet them first and see how they react.

"I'll go with you!"

"No! The identities of the special forces officers and soldiers must be kept confidential. If their true identities cannot be found out, I will have no choice but to let them go, but they will remember you."

Yao Pengju often led people deep behind enemy lines. If these two people were really Japs and met Yao Pengju, they would definitely be able to see through them at a glance, which would easily increase unnecessary risks.

But before Zhao Zhiguo could leave the headquarters in Gaocang, the communications troops came to report.

"Reporting to the regiment leader and the telegram sent by the political commissar from the regiment headquarters, the Japanese army assembled a force of 1,800 troops and launched a raid on various areas of Wang County."

Guang Gusi had been holding back in Wangxian County for too long. He brought two-thirds of his troops' combat effectiveness, plus some puppet troops, to launch an operation against the Chinese army in Wangxian County.

After receiving the telegram, Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Pengju looked at each other. It seemed that the raid had come too "timely".
