With lightning speed, Zhao Ting launched a purge operation against the enemy spies in Songxian County. In a short period of time, he captured a large number of them.
The police chief of Song County had not paid much attention to the enemy spies. When he saw so many people being arrested, he panicked. After all, so many enemies were hidden under his nose and he did not notice them. This could only mean that he was dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, Zhao Ting gave the police chief a chance and asked him to interrogate them personally. He wanted to follow the clues and catch more enemy spies.
While the police chief was grateful to Zhao Ting, he personally began the interrogation of the enemy spies and traitors.
They would not know if they did not interrogate them. However, they were shocked when they heard from the traitors that the militia, the security corps, and the garrison headquarters had been seriously infiltrated.
Early in the morning, the police chief with panda eyes delivered a list of traitors he had interrogated to Zhao Ting in the garrison headquarters.
Now, Zhao Ting had already treated the Garrison Command as his command center. When he saw the long list of names, many of which were famous local squires, he was tempted to kill them.
"Battalion Commander Zhao, these people are all famous people in the local area.”
The police chief knew that this matter involved a lot, so he asked Zhao Ting for instructions.
"So many enemies are hiding under your nose and committing crimes. If you still want to be the police chief, you can't be merciful. You can only arrest them all!”
"But our police station only has a squadron of people. These squires have armed servants, and the militia and security guards also have guns. I'm afraid it will be very troublesome for us to arrest them.”
"I will send a company of people to assist you. Anyone who dares to stop you will be punished. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!”
"Yes, sir!"
The police chief also knew that there was no turning back now. He immediately followed Zhao Ting's orders and began to arrest people according to the list.
As the entire city was under martial law, most of the traitors who had been bribed by the devils lived at the city gates. They had no way of resisting when they were captured.
In just one morning, more than 100 people were arrested, most of them officers from the militia and security corps.
With Zhao Ting's grab, more than half of the officers of the two militia and security corps were captured and paralyzed.
Because the entire city was under martial law, only people were allowed to enter and not leave. Therefore, the actions in Songxian County attracted the attention of the towns outside the city, but they did not know what was going on in the city.
After eliminating the enemy spies and traitors in the city, Zhao Ting set his sights on the villages and towns under Song County.
After a large number of people from the militia and security corps confirmed their innocence, they learned that their original officers had actually defected to the devils. They were also filled with righteous indignation.
Zhao Ting didn't let the innocent soldiers of the militia and security regiment stay idle. He transferred some low-level officers from the model battalion to command them.
Soon, the two militia groups and the security group also followed suit and rushed to their respective targets.
In just two days, Zhao Ting and the others had captured more than 500 traitors and spies.
In addition to capturing so many people, they also seized 100 rifles, three machine guns, 20,000 bullets, five radio stations, and 15 detailed maps of the surrounding areas of Song County.
The Japanese had been eyeing China for a long time, especially in the coastal areas. After years of infiltration, many local people had been bought over by the Japanese.
Zhao Ting's thunderous operation had dealt a heavy blow to the enemy spies in Song County and seized a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and property.
The investigation team sent by the Ministry of War and Political Affairs arrived at Song County on the fourth day. When they saw the list of enemy spies, the captured map, and the weapons and ammunition, they were also shocked.
With so many enemy spies infiltrating this area, many local officials and militia officers had been bribed. Once a war broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After the investigation team reported the situation to the commanding officer, the commanding officer was furious and reported the situation to the capital.
The Song County area was right behind the Songhu battlefield, and it was shocking that so many enemies were hiding there.
Soon, the military headquarters of the theater of operations had forwarded the telegrams from the capital to Songxian County, removing the local garrison commander, regimental commander of the militia, regimental commander of the security guards, the head of Songxian County, and the head of the county party headquarters.
Zhao Ting was the victim of this operation. If he had not acted in time, who knew how bad the situation in Song County would have become.
Therefore, in order to appease Zhao Ting, and also to give an explanation to the entire country, the command headquarters rewarded Zhao Ting for his timely handling of the situation. At the same time, it was widely publicized in all the major newspapers, denouncing the conspiracy of the Japanese against the heroes.
At the same time, a nationwide investigation was launched against the enemy spies.
As the two major intelligence agencies under the command joined in the investigation of the enemy spies, a large number of intelligence personnel and spies from the Japanese in China were captured, crippling the intelligence network of the Japanese.
"Bastard!"
When the Japanese base learned that most of their intelligence network and spy agencies had been destroyed, they were furious.
Of course, they blamed all of this on Zhao Ting. If Zhao Ting had not set up such a place, they would not have suffered such heavy losses.
With the removal of the highest ranking officer in Songxian County, the post of local garrison commander was vacant.
However, the frontline was in the middle of a war, and the warzone could not care about this. Therefore, a new appointment was quickly given. Zhao Ting was appointed as the acting garrison commander, acting county head, acting militia leader, and acting security regiment leader of the Song County region. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and it could be said that he had all the power in the military and government.
Although these positions were all acting positions, they were all real rights. Zhao Ting naturally accepted them happily. In just a short month, Zhao Ting had been promoted again. It was really enviable.
