Chapter 1797 Zhang Qianfan: I am a prisoner, treat me well!
"Have you contacted Cai Zhengze's troops?" asked Kogoro Imamura in a deep voice.
"Not yet." Koura Jushiro shook his head. "We are still searching. Lieutenant Colonel Ohta has also sent out search troops, but no trace of Cai Zhengze's troops has been found yet."
"It's like they disappeared," said Koura Jushiro. "Cai Zhengze's troops discarded and burned their military cards, so it's impossible to track them by wheel tracks."
"Keep looking." Imamura Kogoro's expression was gloomy. "You lead people there in person. Make sure to contact Cheng Qianfan and ensure his safety."
"Hai."
Kogoro Imamura's face was solemn. Cai Zhengze's regiment headquarters and its second battalion stationed in Qingpu Town suddenly disappeared.
It was yesterday afternoon when the Taita Battalion sent people to Qingpu Town to contact Cai Zhengze's troops that they discovered that the entire town was deserted.
What exactly happened to Cai Zhengze’s troops?
Even Kentaro Miyazaki didn't send any news.
Thinking of the rumors that the New Fourth Army was instigating a certain unit of the Pacification Army to rebel, Kogoro Imamura's heart sank.
"No one please come near me. I need to discuss something with Counselor Imamura."
Ota Yuichi's voice came from outside.
……
"Now, I highly suspect that those who were instigated by the New Fourth Army to rebel are most likely Cai Zhengze's troops." Ota Yuichi said straight to the point.
"I was just thinking about this." Imamura Kogoro nodded, "What did Zhao Yongrui say?"
"We have interrogated Zhao Yongrui. He said that Cai Zhengze's cousin, Cai Zhengqi, the captain of the Cai Regiment's guard company, once said something to him about his dissatisfaction with the empire after drinking." Ota Yuichi said, "And Zhao Yongrui also said that Cai Zhengqi has always made remarks about his dissatisfaction with the empire, but they didn't care for Cai Zhengze's sake."
"The commander of Cai Zhengze's Second Battalion, Duan Feiyang, is from the same hometown as Cai Zhengze. Both of them were from the Jiangsu Security Corps and have experience fighting against the Empire."
"According to Zhao Yongrui, he is not Cai Zhengze's confidant. The commander of the third battalion who stayed in the base, Sun Fei, is Hu Delin's confidant. Neither of them is trusted by Cai Zhengze." Ota Yuichi said.
"That's right." Imamura Kogoro nodded. "We transferred Cai Zhengze's First Battalion over here. He only has the regiment guard company and Duan Feiyang's Second Battalion left. They are all Cai Zhengze's cronies, which will give Cai Zhengze an opportunity to rebel."
He looked at Ohta Yuichi and said, "However, we cannot trust everything Zhao Yongrui says. We must be on guard against this person as well."
……
"I have ordered Zhao Yongrui's first battalion to be disarmed and put under guard." Ota Yu nodded, "In addition, I have called Colonel Onitsuka to closely guard the third battalion stationed at Cai's headquarters."
"We must find the whereabouts of Cai Zhengze's troops as soon as possible and rescue Kentaro." Imamura Kogoro said with a serious expression, "The counselor thinks highly of Miyazaki Kentaro, and Kentaro must not be harmed."
Ota Yu nodded. He naturally knew the importance of Miyazaki Kentaro, not only to Counselor Imamura. He knew that Master Atsuto of the Kawada family trusted Miyazaki Kentaro. If anything happened to Miyazaki Kentaro, he would also be to blame.
"If what we have guessed is correct, there must be Red Party members in Cai Zhengze's army," said Ota Yuichi. "We can even assert that there are New Fourth Army guerrillas in Qingpu. They are familiar with the local terrain, which is why we were not able to quickly capture Cai Zhengze's army."
Kogoro Imamura remained silent. He hated the rebellion of Cai Zhengze's troops to the core, but what he was most worried about now was the safety of Kentaro Miyazaki.
……
"Get in!"
Cheng Qianfan was pushed and staggered into a room, almost tripping over the threshold.
His eyes were still covered with a black cloth. He stood there looking around blankly, not knowing what to do.
Then he heard a noise, probably someone took a stool and placed it next to him.
"Sit down." said a hoarse voice.
Cheng Qianfan bent down and groped for the stool, then sat down carefully.
……
"Cheng Qianfan, a native of Jiangshan, was the deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Station in the French Concession, a trusted secretary of Chu Mingyu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Wang Puppet Regime in Nanjing, and a talented person in the eyes of the big traitor Wang Tianhai." He Guan glanced at Cheng Qianfan, who looked nervous and at a loss, and spoke.
"According to investigation, Cheng Qianfan has killed many of our party comrades and patriots, and actively advocated Wang Tianhai's traitorous policies. He also actively cooperated with the Japanese invaders to harm our soldiers and civilians. He is a complete traitor." He Guan slammed the table, "Cheng Qianfan, do you admit these crimes?"
"Are you from the Red Party?" Cheng Qianfan raised his head, took a look, and asked cautiously.
"We are the ones asking you questions now!" Fang Muheng said from the side, "Answer the questions."
"Since you know everything, I have no words to say as I am unlucky to fall into your hands." Cheng Qianfan said with a dejected sigh.
"Okay, since you've already pleaded guilty." He Guan slammed the table, "Take this traitor out and execute him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a door opening was heard. A soldier came in, lifted Cheng Qianfan's arm and dragged him out.
……
Cheng Qianfan was terrified. He held on to the stool tightly and struggled hard, shouting, "I am a senator of the Nanjing government. I was captured by you. Aren't you Red Party and New Fourth Army always saying that you should treat prisoners well? I am a prisoner, you can't kill me!"
"Drag him out and shoot him!" He Guan said coldly.
"I am a prisoner, you can't kill me!"
"You shout about treating prisoners well, but I am a prisoner!"
Cheng Qianfan shouted at the top of his lungs, his tears streaming down the black cloth.
"It seems that you are very familiar with our prisoner policy." Fang Muheng sneered, "In principle, we treat prisoners well, but you, a die-hard traitor, are not included in this category."
"Drag him out and shoot him." He Guan said coldly.
……
It was at this time that He Guan and Fang Muheng smelled a smell of urine, and then they saw the water stains dripping between Cheng Qianfan's buttocks.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
He Guan sighed even more. The Brother Fan of that year, the high-spirited and inspiring Cheng Qianfan, had actually become like this.
The two soldiers who were holding Cheng Qianfan looked at this coward with disdain, as he was so scared that he peed his pants when he heard that he was going to be shot.
……
"We, the Red Party and the New Fourth Army, treat prisoners well, but for those traitors who have committed heinous crimes!" Fang Muheng said in a deep voice, "We will judge their crimes and punish them severely!"
He glanced at Cheng Qianfan, who was clinging to the stool tightly. If he hadn't been held by the soldiers, he would have almost collapsed to the ground. "Cheng Qianfan, you are guilty of a heinous crime. On behalf of the people you have killed and persecuted, we sentence you to death and execute you immediately."
"No, you can't kill me." Cheng Qianfan cried, "I am a senior police officer in the French Concession. I am a Frenchman. If you kill me, it will cause an international dispute."
"French?" He Guan snorted coldly, "France has surrendered to the Germans."
"I, anyway, I am a senior police officer in the French Concession. The French Concession now belongs to the Germans. I work for the Germans. You can't kill me." Cheng Qianfan struggled desperately and racked his brains to find a way to survive.
"We are the Red Party, not the government that our allies are astonished by." Fang Muheng slammed the table, "Don't even think about using foreign powers to bully others!"
"Yes, yes, you are the Red Party, the Bolsheviks." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, "Then you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
……
"Are you innocent?" He Guan snorted coldly.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Cheng Qianfan begged for mercy, "I know your bullets are precious, and killing me will waste them."
"You don't need bullets to kill people." He Guan said sinisterly, "Beheading, burying alive, drowning, you traitors do it, so we can do it too."
Fang Muheng coughed and glanced at He Guan, meaning that it was too much and that this should not be said.
Then he glanced at Cheng Qianfan and saw that Cheng Qianfan was trembling all over and was terrified.
"Give us a reason not to kill you." He Guan glanced at Cheng Qianfan. "Even if you are guilty of a heinous crime, we will give you a chance to redeem yourself. It depends on whether you are sensible or not."
"Yes, yes, yes, I am willing to make meritorious contributions to atone my sins." Cheng Qianfan shouted as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
……
"Consultant Cheng should know about the Japanese military plan for this sweep of the Qingpu area," He Guan asked.
Cheng Qianfan was silent.
He Guanhe and Fang Muheng did not speak either, and the room was dead silent.
About a minute later, Fang Muheng said to He Guan, "It seems that he is unwilling to talk. For such a stubborn and hardcore traitor, just kill him."
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Cheng Qianfan nodded like a sieve, "I'll tell you."
"Speak!" He Guan slammed the table, "This is your last chance. If you don't behave, I'll kill you."
"This time, the mopping-up of the Qingpu guerrilla zone is under the charge of the Taita Battalion and Cai Zhengze's 15th Regiment. The Taita Battalion is along the Shapu Line, and the 15th Regiment is centered in Qingpu Town. In addition, there is Zhang Xiaolin's New Asia Peace Promotion Association's Qingxiang Pistol Team. The three teams support each other with the goal of wiping out the anti-Japanese forces in the Qingpu area and creating a demonstration zone of appeasement and public security around Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan said.
He Guan and Fang Muheng looked at each other. What Cheng Qianfan had explained was similar to what they knew. In addition, they did not know the situation of Zhang Xiaolin's New Asia Peace Promotion Team's clean-up team.
He Guan continued to interrogate.
He asked, and Cheng Qianfan answered hurriedly, fearing that he would be executed if he answered too slowly.
"We have already learned all the information you mentioned from Captain Cai." He Guan put down the pen in his hand, glanced at Cheng Qianfan, and said, "So, the information you gave us is useless to us."
……
"Bitch!" Cheng Qianfan was furious. He was about to stand up. "You guys don't keep your word. Are you kidding me?"
"What are you doing? Sit down!" He Guan slammed the table.
The two soldiers pressed Cheng Qianfan down on the stool.
"Cheng Qianfan!" He Guan slammed the table. "We give you a chance to make meritorious contributions and atone for your sins, but the prerequisite is that you are worthy of living. Now it seems that the information you provided is of no use to us."
"I've told you everything I know!" Cheng Qianfan cried, "You guys don't keep your word!"
He cursed in his heart. When the Anti-Japanese War was victorious, when the revolution was victorious, if he could live to see that day and see He Guan and Fang Muheng again, he would definitely teach these two bastards a lesson and avenge himself for wetting his pants while acting.
Yes, he could tell that it was He Guan and Fang Muheng who were interrogating him.
At first, the two men spoke in hoarse voices to avoid being recognized by him. However, perhaps because he acted too cowardly, especially after he deliberately scared himself to the point of peeing his pants, the two men seemed to have let down their guard, thinking that Cheng Qianfan had lost his sense of proportion and would not be able to distinguish his voice, so they subconsciously spoke in their natural voices.
Cheng Qianfan was very familiar with He Guan's voice. He recognized it immediately. After listening carefully, he guessed that the comrade next to He Guan should be Fang Muheng.
At the same time, he was surprised in his heart. Not to mention that He Guan and Fang Muheng were deceived by his acting skills and used their original voices, just the interrogation skills of these two people amazed him. They no longer had the immaturity and greenness they had in the past, and could be regarded as qualified and even excellent Bolshevik fighters.
……
"We are not dishonest. For a die-hard traitor like you, we are willing to give you a chance to make meritorious service to atone for your sins. This is already a leniency." Fang Muheng said, "Cheng Qianfan, if you want to make meritorious service to atone for your sins, you must demonstrate your own value."
"I, I..." Cheng Qianfan trembled and said, "I still have money in my wallet, and there are more than a dozen small yellow croakers in my suitcase. I can give all these to you. I can use the money to buy my life!"
"Asshole!" He Guan slammed the table, "What do you think we are? Bandits who rob and kidnap people? Besides, your money is no longer yours. It was our battlefield spoils!"
As he said that, He Guan snorted coldly, "You want to buy your life with our spoils, you want to get what you want."
"Yes, yes, yes, those are your spoils, not mine. I can't use that money to buy my life." Cheng Qianfan didn't seem to understand He Guan's words. He seemed to see hope of survival.
"I have money, a lot of money. Oh, and I also have supplies. I can get you any supplies you need, even if they are contraband." Cheng Qianfan said anxiously, "As long as you let me go, I can agree to any request you make."
……
"Cheng Qianfan! Who do you think we are?" Fang Muheng shouted, "We are the anti-Japanese team, the Red New Fourth Army, we are not kidnapping bandits!"
"Yes, yes, you are the anti-Japanese team. I voluntarily donated to the anti-Japanese war. I voluntarily donated to the anti-Japanese war." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, "You name the price. No, no, no, you can see what you need. You can provide a list. As long as you let me go, I can satisfy you."
