Chapter 904 Who is the mole?
Because of the inconvenient transportation, many goods were carried into the village by peddlers, which naturally made the prices very high. Moreover, the products produced in the village could not be sold, so there was not much productivity.
But once the road is built, the convenient modified bicycles will transport industrial products from the town or county into the village.
For example, there are hoes and shovels that dig quickly and well, as well as various farm tools such as plows, rakes, and sickles made of good steel.
These things are not only worth one-third of what they used to be, but they also greatly save farmers' physical strength and improve their work efficiency. What used to take two days to plow an acre of land can now be done in one day.
The time saved can be used for other things, such as building roads in other villages or developing water conservancy projects, which is equivalent to suddenly having a large amount of human resources.
Young and middle-aged people in rural areas go out to do side jobs and then come back to do farm work during the busy farming season, which is equivalent to having several sources of income at once.
With the roads now open, local specialties from the mountains can fetch better prices.
For example, the eggs laid by our own old hen used to take most of the day to travel from the village to the county town. There was simply no time to rush back, and we would have to spend the night in the wilderness or the county town.
People living far away don't even think about selling their local specialties for money; they just eat them themselves. But how much can they eat? Most of it is wasted.
As for local specialties, such as dried fruits like walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds, how much can one eat personally, and obtaining them is rather troublesome, so even fewer people are willing to bother with them.
Now that the road is repaired, all the village needs to do is get a few pedicabs so that the young men can ride them to the county town, sell their goods, and then come back.
When ordinary people have more spare money, they will definitely spend it. They've had enough of their thatched houses leaking rain.
With our current assets, we can easily build a spacious and bright house with red bricks and tiles.
Paper windows are easily damaged and don't let in light, while glass windows are the most popular type in the base area, so it's perfectly feasible to install them.
A large number of industrial products circulated in the base area, and the lives of ordinary people became better and better.
This was especially true in places like Zexian, which had only recently been recovered; the people had suddenly gone from hell to heaven.
Even so, the fact that sulfonamides, which are strictly controlled substances, can still be bought on the market is something that Mizukusa Yu could never have imagined.
Half an hour later, the two people Sakai had summoned entered the room, both wearing white coats and carrying a medical kit.
As soon as the two entered the room and saw Sakai, they immediately started speaking in Japanese.
But before he could even open his mouth, Sakai rudely interrupted him.
“Wen Jiye, you must always remember your identity. You are a true Chinese and have lived in Zexian County for more than 20 years. Under no circumstances should you speak your mother tongue.”
“The situation is different now than before. There are Eighth Route Army intelligence personnel everywhere. If you are not careful, your whereabouts will be exposed and your chances of survival will be extremely slim.”
“You are a deep-lying agent, and you need to play the biggest role at critical moments. If there were no other way today, I would not have chosen to wake you up.”
"I'm sorry, I'll definitely remember next time."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Sakai.
It only took half an hour to treat Major Ozawa's wounds, and they even gave specific instructions:
"The wounded soldier's wound is not deep and has been cleaned and bandaged. I'll leave him ten sulfa tablets. He just needs to take the medicine regularly every day. If that's not enough, I'll find another way."
“Our clinic’s management of medicines is not strict now. Many people can buy them at the hospital. It’s not surprising that we can get some with a little trickery.”
Sakai nodded and sent Wen Jiye back.
However, after the doctor and nurse left, our investigators discovered the situation and immediately reported it to Section Chief Sun, who then sent people to follow them to confirm their true identities.
As professionally trained trackers, we would have no way of detecting an undercover agent like Wen Jiye.
They followed him all the way to the clinic, where they finally confirmed his identity.
After Section Chief Sun received the intelligence, he couldn't help but sigh: "This guy really knows how to hide things well."
This guy surnamed Wen has lived in Zexian County for five or six years. He's usually very warm and friendly, and he's also very kind to the people who come to him for medical treatment. I never expected that he was actually a spy planted by the Japanese.
Fortunately, he was discovered today. According to the plan, a comprehensive hospital will be set up in Zexian County soon, and Dr. Wen will be transferred to the newly established county hospital as an attending physician.
If that time really comes, the hospital will definitely receive a large number of wounded soldiers from the front lines, and it may even be high-ranking officers coming for treatment. If an enemy spy manages to infiltrate the hospital at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, this spy has now exposed himself, which has saved them a lot of trouble.
However, at this time, the main focus should still be on surveillance, and we need to find out everyone on the enemy's side and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Once such moles are exposed, their threat level is greatly reduced, and whether or not they are caught makes little difference.
The next day, Sakai reported the situation to Taiyuan via radio and was told to send Major Ozawa back as soon as possible.
There was no other way; eight planes had come out, and only this one survivor remained. The high command of the enemy's First Army must want to know what exactly happened and how to prevent future attacks.
It's important to understand that this represents the loss of three fighter jets and five bombers, a loss that is truly devastating for the army aviation units near Taewon.
Moreover, this time they came sneakily and furtively to launch a surprise attack, and quickly withdrew after bombing, but unexpectedly they fell into our air force's ambush and were wiped out.
If they don't figure out the situation, they probably won't be able to sleep well in the future, since they'll face ambushes as soon as they set out, and then they won't be able to fight.
In fact, immediately after this small-scale air battle ended, Commander Shinotsuka ordered the isolation and investigation of all those who had access to the order, determined to find out how the information had been leaked.
After all, their bombing operation was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and it only took half a day from the issuance of the attack order to its execution. If there was no insider to leak the information, no one would believe it.
Moreover, our fighter jets were positioned in ambush along their inevitable route, and five of them were enough to wipe out their entire formation.
All of this was too coincidental, even leading Commander Shinotsuka to suspect that there might be problems with the high command of the First Army.
However, after investigating, they found nothing suspicious, but instead discovered several corrupt officials.
