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

Chapter 319 A Slap That Stunned Him

Out of caution, Ye Shaohong had the Seventh Army's headquarters sealed off when he captured Zheng Tianhua.

He controlled the entry and exit channels.

They also ordered the PBX room to be shut down.

Because of this measure, what happened inside the military command headquarters in the afternoon was not leaked out.

Unwittingly, this also gave Yeshahe a head start.

In response, Chief of Staff Cheng Min devised a plan.

He wanted to use the excuse that the army was about to change its location to summon all officers of the newly formed 7th Army at the regimental and battalion levels and above to the headquarters.

By trapping the scourge in a jar, we can eliminate the threat in one fell swoop.

"Will this plan work?" Ye Shaohong frowned the moment he heard Chief of Staff Cheng Min explain the details of the plan.

He was considering the feasibility of this plan.

Immediately, Ye Shaohong understood the deeper intentions of Chief of Staff Cheng Min.

He truly is a cunning old fox.

In terms of viciousness and ruthlessness, Chief of Staff Cheng Min is not much different from Ye Shaohong.

What was Chief of Staff Cheng Min's deeper intention?

The key lies in the phrase "relocate the troops".

Since ancient times, military mobilization has always been a major national event, because it involves not only the movement of personnel, but also many interests.

Resources, connections, wealth, and development prospects of the original and new locations.

There will definitely be differences. If the troops can seize the initiative and take control of the richest and most valuable areas when the garrison is relocated, the officers stationed there can also make a fortune.

Money.

Who doesn't like it.

With such a huge temptation right in front of them, how could the officers of the newly formed 7th Army not care once the news got out?

They will definitely be eager to come over.

Once they arrived and entered the headquarters of the newly formed 7th Army, they had fallen into the trap set by Chief of Staff Cheng Min.

With the assistance of the military command's guard regiment, how could they not catch those twenty-odd Japanese spies and thirty-odd traitors?

Who told them to be so greedy?

Having grasped the core points of the plan, Ye Shaohong agreed to Chief of Staff Cheng Min's plan without hesitation. However, he also took the opportunity to make a request.

That means that when he notifies these people, he needs to be present to supervise and observe.

We must absolutely prevent anyone with ulterior motives from spreading the truth.

Chief of Staff Cheng Min also agreed.

He had no choice but to agree.

Because Ye Shaohong's request was a way of keeping an eye on him.

Ye Shaohong gave him face by having Yang Ziping personally deal with Liu Rui, the commander of the 236th Division, thus giving him a chance to clean up the mess.

But such an opportunity only comes once.

Ye Shaohong would never jeopardize his future for the sake of so-called personal relationships or face.

This was also an unspoken understanding between them. Chief of Staff Cheng Min wasn't stupid; of course, he wouldn't make enemies for himself.

His decision reassured Ye Shaohong considerably.

Then they went together to the program-controlled switchboard room and watched as Chief of Staff Cheng Min, with the help of the operator, used the telephone to contact the various directly subordinate regiments and battalions of the newly formed 7th Army.

The content of the phone calls was basically the same.

Chief of Staff Cheng Min would only chat a few more words with close friends and family.

Laughter and swearing, but you can't really tell anything from them.

However, Ye Shaohong secretly memorized the identities of these people. If Chief of Staff Cheng Min deliberately passed on information to them during the phone call, causing the Japanese spies, traitors, and collaborators on the personnel list to become aware of the situation and run away halfway, Ye Shaohong would definitely not allow it.

This contact took almost half an hour.

After making thirty or forty phone calls, even though Chief of Staff Cheng Min was well-prepared, he still felt slightly tired.

The matter is not over yet.

Chief of Staff Cheng Min had arranged a time with his subordinates on the phone for 5 p.m. today. By the time he finished the call, it was already close to 4 p.m.

Then the two of them started assigning other tasks.

For example, the guard duties around the command post, the reception point where soldiers dismount upon entering the command post, and even the rest area in the auditorium.

Internal patrol personnel, etc.

On the surface, these tasks were personally assigned by Chief of Staff Cheng Min, but in reality, Ye Shaohong also arranged for personnel to participate in them.

He even assigned Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan to key positions.

As orders were issued, the entire military command headquarters busied itself in an orderly manner.

Time flew by, and it was soon 4:30. Ye Shaohong was still in Chief of Staff Cheng Min's office when a phone call came from the sentry post at the main entrance of the command post.

"Stationmaster, the first person has arrived."

"It's Commander Chen of the 728th Regiment of the 236th Division."

The caller was a squad leader that Ye Shaohong had brought from Jiangcheng Station. He didn't know the specific list of personnel involved in the arrest operation, and he only had one task.

That is to report the entry and exit of personnel at the sentry posts.

"Commander Chen of the 728th Regiment?"

"Okay, let him in. Remember to have him register and hand over his weapon!"

After putting down the phone, Ye Shaohong turned around and looked at Chief of Staff Cheng Min.

"coming."

"The first fish has been caught in the net." Ye Shaohong said cryptically, but his meaning was clear: he was telling Chief of Staff Cheng Min that the target on the personnel list had appeared.

"very good."

"Next, we'll see how many people are lying in ambush in the auditorium."

Chief of Staff Cheng Min had his reasons for saying that.

In China's officialdom, when lower-level officials arrive at their superiors' units, the first thing they do is not to hand over their work, but to visit their cronies or former superiors.

To prevent this from happening and thus revealing the arrangements, Chief of Staff Cheng Min also arranged for guides in front of the guard post.

There is only one main purpose.

To prevent those attending the meeting from wandering around and becoming suspicious.

After being led into the command post, they would be taken directly to the auditorium. Once inside the auditorium, someone would come out to greet them.

Those Japanese spies, traitors, and collaborators on the list of personnel to be brought in will be captured and taken into custody immediately.

They tied his hands and feet, stuffed a rag into his mouth, and then threw him aside.

As for the innocent, their efforts also have a purpose.

It can serve as a backdrop.

And so, the so-called Commander Chen of the 728th Regiment was led into the military headquarters.

Through the window, Chief of Staff Cheng Min and Ye Shaohong watched him walk into the auditorium.

The doors to the auditorium opened and closed again.

Shortly afterward, the phone rang on Chief of Staff Cheng Mincheng's desk.

The caller was Zhuang Yifan. He was also the person in charge that Ye Shaohong had placed there.

"Station magistrate, we've caught him."

"This kid realized something was wrong and actually tried to fight back, but I slapped him across the face and he was completely stunned. He hasn't recovered yet!"
