Under the lights of the 343 Brigade Headquarters, the silence of the night was broken by a tense atmosphere.

Brigade Commander Xu Feng, Political Commissar Liao Zhengming, Deputy Brigade Commander Gu Dalei, and Chief of Staff Tan Jinhua,

The four men focused their eyes on the map, discussing a crucial military operation.

The lines and markings on the map, like the veins on a battlefield, foreshadow the coming storm.

At this moment, their brows were furrowed, as if every decision was related to life and death.

"Report!" Outside the door, a firm voice of notification pierced the silence.

"Come in." Xu Feng's voice was decisive and powerful.

The door was gently pushed open, and a young figure appeared at the door. It was Tang Xiaoxiao, a little girl who looked immature but had a firm look in her eyes.

Her appearance instantly made the atmosphere in the headquarters tense. The generals present couldn't help but wonder, how could this twelve-year-old girl appear here?

"Hello, leaders." Tang Xiaoxiao straightened her back and saluted with a standard military salute. Her seriousness and professionalism moved all the soldiers present.

Everyone returned the greetings. Although they were full of questions, their curiosity about this young comrade did not diminish in the slightest.

Liao Zhengming smiled and joked: "Don't underestimate her. She is the head of the special operation department of the headquarters. Our boss has tried to recruit her many times, but unfortunately he failed."

Upon hearing this, Gu Dalei could not help but nod in agreement: "Are they the ones that the boss wants to poach? Indeed, heroes emerge from the youth, and they are rare talents."

Tan Jinhua also recalled the past: "I remember that the boss once mentioned that he wanted to persuade her to come to our military department, but the Political Department got there first." There was a hint of regret in his tone.

Facing everyone's praise, Tang Xiaoxiao's face was not at all shy, but instead filled with a proud smile.

She was obviously accustomed to such scenes and had deep confidence in her identity and abilities.

Xu Feng put away his smile and turned to business: "Little comrade, did you make any new discoveries this time?"

Tang Xiaoxiao put away the smile on her face and turned serious: "Commander, I have already checked it out. That Yuan Tian, ​​her real identity is Xiao Yuan Tianzi from the Japanese Special High Technology Department."

When Gu Dalei heard the name, his face suddenly changed: "Xiao Yuan Tianzi? Japanese! He was lurking under our noses and we didn't even notice it. This is a shame!" He clenched his fists and was burning with anger.

"Xiao Yuantianzi...I seem to have heard this name somewhere." Liao Zhengming said thoughtfully.

Tang Xiaoxiao explained: "She was hiding in the clinic of the Anti-Japanese University in Yan'an before, but was later exposed and escaped. I remember that the headquarters should have issued a wanted order."

Liao Zhengming nodded, his memory gradually becoming clearer: "Yes, I remember it now."

Tan Jinhua, as a general who had just returned from a meeting at the headquarters, didn't quite understand the situation: "So what is the connection between this Yuan Tian and us?"

Xu Feng said solemnly: "Yuan Tian is the newlywed wife of Staff Officer Wang Zhigang."

"What? Staff Officer Wang's wife is Japanese?" Tan Jinhua was surprised. "Then what about Staff Officer Wang himself? Has he also been infiltrated?" This issue is of vital importance and is related to the safety of the entire army.

Gu Dalei looked unhappy and said, "I have always wondered how these devils could predict the future and always find our headquarters. I didn't expect the spies to hide in places we didn't expect."

Tang Xiaoxiao analyzed: "From my observation, Staff Officer Wang should be innocent, but he was not vigilant enough, so his wife got a lot of information out of him."

Liao Zhengming raised the next question: "What should we do now?"

Xu Feng took a deep breath and made a decision: "Staff Officer Wang is a man of merit. We should give him a chance to correct his mistakes."

Tan Jinhua agreed: "I think it's okay. Let him have a chance to prove himself."

Liao Zhengming and Gu Dalei also expressed their agreement.

Xu Feng then shouted: "Xiaotian!"

Tian Tieta, the burly captain of the guard company, immediately responded and said, "Brigade Commander, what can I do for you?"

"Where is Staff Officer Wang now?" Xu Feng asked.

"He is on the training ground waiting for the mission." Tian Tieta replied.

"Call him over." Xu Feng's order was concise and clear.

Tian Tieta took the order and left. Soon, Wang Zhigang appeared in front of everyone in military uniform and in high spirits. He had no idea of ​​the truth he was about to face.

"Hello, leaders." He saluted respectfully, but he didn't know that a test was about to come.

The generals in the command center looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew very well that telling Wang Zhigang this cruel fact would be a difficult task.

However, for the honor and safety of the troops, they had to face it. In this challenging night, everyone was prepared to deal with everything that was about to happen.

Wang Zhigang stood in front of Brigade Commander Xu Feng and other generals, his eyes determined, completely unaware that he was in the center of the storm. Xu Feng took a deep breath, looked directly at Wang Zhigang, and prepared to say those heavy words.

"Staff Officer Wang," Xu Feng's voice was low and powerful, "we all see your loyalty to us. But today, we must face a shocking fact." He paused, letting the words permeate the air and giving Wang Zhigang some time to digest them.

Wang Zhigang's eyes moved from Xu Feng to the faces of others. The seriousness and worry in their eyes made him feel uneasy. His heart tightened, and he had a premonition of something bad.

"Brigade Commander, please speak." Although Wang Zhigang's voice was steady, his fingers had unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes.

"Your wife Yuan Tian," Xu Feng continued, with a tone of regret, "her real identity is Ozodako from the Japanese Special High Technology Department, a spy lurking in our army."

A flash of shock flashed across Wang Zhigang's face, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He couldn't believe his ears, and stared at Xu Feng with wide eyes, hoping that this was a misunderstanding.

"Impossible! You must be mistaken." Wang Zhigang's voice trembled, "Yuan Tian, ​​she is my wife, she can't be a spy!"

Liao Zhengming gently interrupted, "Staff Officer Wang, our suspicions are not groundless. Comrade Tang Xiaoxiao has already investigated thoroughly and found a radio under your stove. All the evidence points to this fact. We hope you can understand that this is not directed at you personally, but for our troops."

Wang Zhigang turned to look at Tang Xiaoxiao, and her firm eyes made it impossible for him to question her judgment. Doubts and anger were intertwined in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to act emotionally.
