In 1941, one day, a Japanese suddenly came to the 115th Division, followed by 26 prisoners of the Eighth Route Army. As soon as he arrived at the door, he shouted: "I have come to join the Eighth Route Army! Where is your chief? I will see him immediately!"
This Japanese, who claimed to be Mizuno Kiyoshi, said with a serious face that he hated the war between Japan and China, and wanted the Japanese people to live a stable life. So he decided to come to the Eighth Route Army and fight against the Japanese army together.
Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan was very happy when he heard this. Why? Because since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army has treated prisoners very well and given them a lot of care and respect. Many captured Japanese soldiers later joined the Eighth Route Army with sincerity, and some even organized an "anti-war alliance" in their own units after returning to help us fight the Japanese. Political Commissar Luo thought, this Mizuno Qing may have been influenced by our policy and came to surrender to Cheng on purpose.
But the real Mizuno Kiyoshi is like this.
Mizuno Kiyoshi, a Japanese officer poisoned by militarism, was full of hostility towards the Eighth Route Army. He often said sarcastically: "The Eighth Route Army? Hmph, a group of rabble." ”
In 1937, Mizuno Kiyoshi was sent to the Luzhong region to carry out a spy mission, and he disguised himself as a businessman to spy on the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army. One day, he learned the location of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army from a villager, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "Look where you are fleeing this time!" He immediately passed the information to the Japanese army.
Soon after, the Japanese launched a fierce attack on the garrison of the Eighth Route Army. Mizuno Kiyoshi stood in the distance, watching all this coldly.
The Japanese military top brass was very satisfied with Mizuno's performance and decided to let him infiltrate the Eighth Route Army to obtain more information. After Mizuno Kiyoshi heard this, a trace of frenzy flashed in his eyes, and he swore solemnly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
In order to make Mizuno Kiyoshi's lurking actions more realistic, the Japanese army also deliberately asked him to take away 26 captured soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
When leaving, Mizuno Kiyoshi deliberately made a "mutiny" speech in front of the soldiers, and he said impassionedly: "I'm fed up with this meaningless war! I want to start over and fight for peace!" The 26 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, confused by his acting skills, believed his words one after another.
After that, Mizuno Kiyoshi took these 26 soldiers to the station of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. He pretended to be repentant and said to the leaders of the Eighth Route Army: "I know that I have done a lot of wrong things in the past, but I really want to reform my life and serve the Eighth Route Army now." In order to prove his sincerity, he also deliberately let the Eighth Route Army see the soldiers he rescued.
When Luo Ronghuan learned the news of Mizuno Qing's surrender, his eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a little surprise. But he quickly regained his composure, and years of military career had given him the Xi of not being alarmed. He knew that he couldn't panic at this time, and he had to make a good total.
"Let him in, I want to meet him. Luo Ronghuan said lightly.
After a while, Mizuno Kiyoshi was brought in. He looked a little haggard, but his eyes were determined. Luo Ronghuan looked him up and down a few times, and then spoke: "Mizuno Qing, right? I heard that you want to surrender, let's talk about it, what's going on?"
Mizuno Kiyoshi didn't go around the bush, and said directly: "General Luo, I'm Japanese, but I can't get used to what the Japanese army does. They are so cruel that they have committed heinous crimes against the Chinese people. I want to help the Chinese and fight the Japanese. ”
Luo Ronghuan listened, did not interrupt him, but nodded from time to time. Mizuno Kiyoshi continued: "I provided intelligence to the Eighth Route Army before and helped you eliminate a stronghold of the Japanese puppet army. But then, the Japanese began to suspect me, and I knew that there was no point in staying any longer, so I came here. ”
After listening to this, Luo Ronghuan pondered for a while, and then said, "Mizuno Qing, I know your situation. But surrender is not child's play, we have to examine you. If you are genuinely sincere, we welcome you to join. ”
Mizuno Qing nodded and expressed understanding: "General Luo, I understand. I am willing to accept any inspection, as long as it allows me to contribute to the cause of China's anti-Japanese war. ”
Luo Ronghuan looked at Mizuno Qing in front of him, and he had a bottom in his heart. He knew that although this Japanese had a special status, if he was really willing to contribute to China's anti-Japanese war cause, it would not be a good thing.
So, he decided to arrange for Mizuno Kiyoshi to live first, and then slowly examine his sincerity and ability.
After Mizuno Kiyoshi surrendered, he has been busy in the army. He knew how to heal, so he was placed in the medical team. He always treated the wounded with great care, whether they were minor or serious. His medical skills are indeed superb, and many soldiers who have been treated praise him for his skillful skills and remarkable results.
After a long time, Mizuno Kiyoshi's reputation in the army spread. The soldiers all knew that there was a Japanese named Kiyoshi Mizuno in the medical team, who was highly skilled in medicine and very kind. Many wounded people asked him by name for treatment, and he always refused to come, and did his best to treat everyone.
Although Luo Ronghuan had also heard about Mizuno Qing's deeds, he always had a pimple in his heart. He felt that it was always a little uneasy for a Japanese to suddenly surrender and behave so well. He fears that Kiyoshi Mizuno may be a spy and will take advantage of the opportunity to wreak havoc.
Therefore, Luo Ronghuan has been secretly observing Mizuno Qing. He noticed that Mizuno Kiyoshi was always very attentive and meticulous when treating the wounded. But sometimes, he also found that Mizuno Kiyoshi would suddenly wander away during the treatment process, or pay too much attention to some details. These details made Luo Ronghuan even more suspicious of Mizuno Kiyoshi's identity.
But Luo Ronghuan did not rush to conclusions. He knew that this kind of thing could not be handled lightly, otherwise he might wronged good people. He decided to continue to observe Mizuno's performance and see if he could find more clues.
After a long time, the doubts in Luo Ronghuan's heart have not been eliminated, but have become deeper.
Ever since Kiyoshi Mizuno joined the troops, the soldiers have discovered a strange phenomenon: large units that they had always been able to hide cleverly in the past were now frequently spotted by Japanese planes and heavily bombed. This puzzled the fighters and discussed them privately.
"Do you think this has anything to do with Mizuno Kiyoshi?" a warrior asked his companion quietly.
"It's hard to say, he's Japanese after all. The other warrior replied, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
These discussions also reached the ears of General Luo Ronghuan. He frowned, and he was also wondering in his heart: "This thing is really strange, is it really Mizuno Kiyoshi's ghost?" But he reminded himself that he couldn't just suspect people without evidence. So, he decided to secretly observe Mizuno Kiyoshi's every move.
A few days later, Mizuno Kiyoshi took the initiative to find Luo Ronghuan and said mysteriously: "General Luo, I know that the Japanese army has an arsenal nearby, and the defense is very lax. We can take the opportunity to attack, and we will definitely win a big battle!"
Luo Ronghuan looked at Mizuno Qing, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Is this news reliable? You can't be playing some tricks, are you?"
Mizuno Kiyoshi hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "No, no, No, General Luo, how can I play tricks? I really want to contribute to the troops." ”
Luo Ronghuan sent troops to the weapons depot in disbelief. The result was unexpectedly smooth, and they easily defeated the Japanese defenders, capturing a large number of guns. This made Luo Ronghuan's suspicion of Mizuno Qing a little less.
However, at this moment, there was a rumor outside. Leaflets and puppet army newspapers were spreading the news that Mizuno Kiyoshi had betrayed Japan. After Mizuno Kiyoshi saw this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Now I should be able to gain General Luo's trust." ”
After Luo Ronghuan saw those newspapers and notices, he couldn't help laughing. He threw the newspaper on the table, shook his head, and said, "That's a coincidence! I don't believe there is such a coincidence in the world. ”
In response to these points, he immediately called a meeting of his subordinates. At the meeting, he said solemnly: "Comrades, what has happened recently is too strange. I suspect there might be something wrong with Kiyoshi Mizuno. Although he didn't admit it directly, the signs were all too obvious. We must not take this lightly, and we must take strict precautions. ”
"This Mizuno Kiyoshi, I always feel that something is wrong with him. One cadre spoke again, "We can't let him stay in the station, what if he is a spy sent by Japan?"
"The same cannot be said," another cadre disagreed, "and we don't have conclusive evidence that there is something wrong with him at the moment." Just because he is Japanese cannot be prejudiced against him. ”
General Luo Ronghuan sat on the sidelines and quietly listened to everyone's discussion. His brow furrowed, and he was thinking about it in his heart. After a while, he spoke, "I've heard everyone's opinions. In this case, let's first let Mizuno Kiyoshi join the anti-war alliance and observe for a while. In the meantime, I'll send a few clever warriors to keep an eye on him to see if he'll do anything out of the ordinary. ”
Hearing General Luo's decision, everyone nodded in agreement. In the days that followed, Mizuno Kiyoshi was included in the anti-war alliance, and Luo Ronghuan secretly sent several capable fighters to monitor his every move.
However, after a while, Luo Ronghuan was still restless. He found the underground party members lurking inside the enemy and solemnly explained the task: "You go and check the details of this Mizuno Kiyoshi to see if he is a spy sent by Japan." This is a very important matter, and you must be careful. ”
When the underground party members were ordered to leave, the Japanese army launched another sweep. Luo Ronghuan decided to use this opportunity to test Mizuno Kiyoshi. He divided his troops into two lanes and made it clear that Mizuno Kiyoshi would follow a smaller group.
"The Japanese will definitely run after the outnumbered troops. Luo Ronghuan said to the soldiers around him, "We are doing this to see if the Japanese army will chase Mizuno Qing's team." ”
As Luo Ronghuan expected, the large army he led successfully escaped the pursuit of the Japanese army, while Mizuno Kiyoshi's team was besieged by the Japanese army.
"It seems that Mizuno Kiyoshi really has a problem. Luo Ronghuan said to the soldiers beside him, "We must be careful not to let him cause us trouble." ”
When Luo Ronghuan's doubts about Mizuno Qing deepened, a sudden secret letter made it even worse, which exacerbated this suspicion.
The letter was written in Japanese, and the recipient was told simply and straightforwardly: "You can rest assured that you are working here in the Eighth Route Army, and everything at home has been arranged, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
But just when everyone was talking about it, Mizuno Kiyoshi disappeared! As soon as this incident came out, everyone thought that Mizuno Kiyoshi was a spy. Luo Ronghuan made a decision immediately and sent someone to find Mizuno Qing.
It didn't take long for Kiyoshi Mizuno to be brought back. He defended himself in a panic: "I'm really not a spy, I ran away because I felt that the Eighth Route Army didn't trust me and started to investigate me." He spoke hoarsely, but everyone who listened put a question mark in their hearts.
Luo Ronghuan looked at him coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Matsuyama Ueda!"
As soon as this name came out, Mizuno Kiyoshi subconsciously responded as if he had been pointed. At this moment, no matter how much he defended, it was useless, so he could only honestly admit his identity.
It turned out that on the way to transfer troops, Mizuno Kiyoshi always found various reasons to stop. One moment he said that the shoelaces were loose and needed to be tightened, and the other time he said that he needed to untie his hands. Whenever this happens, he takes the opportunity to leave his scent on the grass or stones on the side of the road. These scents are simply imperceptible to ordinary people, but they are all too familiar signals to trained Japanese military dogs.
Japanese military dogs have a keen sense of smell, and they are able to accurately identify the scents left behind by Mizuno Kiyoshi and follow these scents all the way to the Eighth Route Army. This method is very stealthy and difficult to detect, so even if the fighters kept staring at Mizuno Kiyoshi, they didn't notice anything abnormal.
Mizuno Kiyoshi used this seemingly ordinary behavior, but in fact it was cunning, to bring a lot of trouble to the Eighth Route Army. Although his behavior was difficult to detect, it was finally recognized by Luo Ronghuan.
Fortunately, Luo Ronghuan was smart and witty, discovered his true face in time, and did not let the troops suffer greater losses. I have to say that Luo Ronghuan's brain is turning fast, which is really admirable.
