Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 317 Immediate Response

More than twenty Japanese spies were hiding there, and more than thirty Chinese traitors defected to the enemy.

There was also a high-ranking teacher.

When Ye Shaohong received the specific list of personnel, his hands trembled, and beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Although he had anticipated this outcome.

But Ye Shaohong hadn't expected things to get this serious.

"No wonder the Japanese dared to assassinate Sun Yihui."

"Whether he lives or dies, it has no impact on the Japanese plans now."

After a brief moment of shock, a strong killing intent surged into my heart.

The newly formed 7th Army was completely rotten to the core.

If he wanted to turn the tide and get more than 15,000 Chinese men back on their feet, he had to resort to ruthless methods.

Killing is the only option.

and.

Even if we're going to kill people, we should kill them quickly and decisively, in front of the many officers and soldiers of the newly formed Seventh Army.

Only in this way might the newly formed Seventh Army still have hope of being rebuilt.

Having made up his mind, Ye Shaohong dared not delay any longer. He called over Yang Ziping, the adjutant of Chief of Staff Cheng Min, and took several attendants and guards with him before leaving the interrogation room and heading straight for the headquarters of the newly formed Seventh Army.

Many people saw him along the way.

Some people stopped in their tracks, looking on with curiosity. Others clenched their fists secretly, as if anticipating something.

There were also people with complicated expressions, staring at him with cold eyes.

Ye Shaohong saw all these gazes, but he didn't care at all. He was in the headquarters of the newly formed Seventh Army, and he had people accompanying and protecting him. Even if there were still Japanese spies and traitors who had not yet been captured, they would not dare to make a move against him.

After walking through the narrow corridor, a few minutes later, Ye Shaohong knocked on the door of Chief of Staff Cheng Min's office.

"Come in."

Chief of Staff Cheng Min's voice rang out, revealing an undeniable weariness.

Yang Ziping stepped forward and opened the door for Ye Shaohong, and the two of them went inside together.

"Is that Station Master Ye?"

"You've come at this hour, has the interrogation yielded results?" Chief of Staff Cheng Min was engrossed in processing official documents when he heard footsteps. He looked up and immediately a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

"I have fulfilled my mission."

"Chief of Staff Cheng, I have basically found out about the Japanese spies and traitors lurking within the newly formed 7th Army."

"This is a list of Japanese spies and traitors!"

He slid down, stepped forward, and placed the folder he was holding on the table.

Chief of Staff Cheng Min looked at the list right in front of him. His eyebrows trembled slightly, and he raised his arm, but suddenly froze in mid-air.

He was a veteran of decades, and his iron will had long been ingrained in his soul and flesh. Yet, when faced with this thin piece of paper, he felt a sense of fear and trepidation.

About four or five seconds later, Chief of Staff Cheng Min took a long breath and picked up the folder on the table. After opening it and glancing at it just once, his eyebrows twitched.

"This... this is real?"

"Liu Rui, he's actually a Japanese spy who's been infiltrated?"

Indeed, at the very top of this personnel list, in the first column, it is clearly written that Liu Rui, the commander of the 236th Division, is a Japanese spy.

And his Japanese name.

This result was somewhat difficult for Chief of Staff Cheng Min to accept.

His face changed color several times, alternating between pale and flushed, until finally he tilted his head back and spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.

"Asshole!"

"I must have had eyes like a dog, how come I didn't notice this person's wolfish ambitions?"

"Liu Rui, Liu Rui, he was someone I personally promoted!" "I have failed my ancestors and my country."

Blood trickled down Chief of Staff Cheng Min's lips, but he couldn't care less about any of that. Amidst his furious roar, tears streamed down his face for the first time.

The man, who was in his fifties or sixties, burst into tears.

Who can understand this kind of grief?

But who can he blame?

Just as he said, it was all his own doing. Just thinking about it made him feel a tightness and pain in his chest.

"Chief of Staff, this..."

Ye Shaohong opened his mouth, wanting to offer some words of comfort, but couldn't find a suitable way to do so.

In the end, Ye Shaohong could only sigh softly.

"Chief of Staff Cheng, since the mistake has already been made, there's no need for you to blame yourself too much." "The most urgent task is to correct the mistake as soon as possible."

"There are too many people on this list. If one is not handled properly, or if the information is leaked, it could provoke those people to act desperately and cause a mutiny."

Ye Shaohong was definitely not deliberately trying to create a terrifying atmosphere.

This is the case.

The Japanese, with their ulterior motives, placed their people in key positions within the newly formed 7th Army.

The forces they directly and indirectly control are close to one-third of the total strength of the newly formed 7th Army. If these people were to mutiny together, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

"I can't wallow in self-pity; I still have a lot to do."

Chief of Staff Cheng Min raised his head and briefly exchanged a glance with Ye Shaohong. Then, he forcibly suppressed his emotions, lowered his head, and looked at the transcript of the confession in his hand.

A moment later, Chief of Staff Cheng Min stood up.

He picked up the phone directly from the table.

"Hello, is this the military command guard regiment? This is Chief of Staff Cheng Min."

"Have your regimental commander come over immediately."

“If there’s urgent business, have him run over.”

After making arrangements over the phone, Chief of Staff Cheng Min put down the phone and turned to look at Yang Ziping.

“Ziping, you are my brother-in-law. You are the only person I can trust now.”

"There are still several Japanese spies and traitors in the current military command who have not been captured. I want you to take men and arrest them right now."

“Remember, they must be alive.” “I want to interrogate them myself, and I want to ask them why they betrayed their country.”

"I'm going to kill them myself."

Yang Ziping also participated in the interrogation. He was certainly aware of the contents of the list in front of him and knew even more clearly the magnitude of this matter.

Therefore, upon hearing Chief of Staff Cheng Min's words, Yang Ziping did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.

He stood at attention, saluted, and immediately made a promise.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, I will personally lead the team to make the arrest."

"As long as I am alive, I will never let a single Japanese spy or traitor escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ziping turned around and gave Ye Shaohong a solemn salute. Then he opened the door, called over Chief of Staff Cheng Min's personal guards, and ran straight to the target's office... "Sorry for the late update. I caught a cold and had a bad cough. I've taken several kinds of medicine before I felt a little better."

I will try my best to keep it updated.
