Lei Xiaoyu felt that he would not be punished again after being demoted to battalion commander. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the division headquarters, Hu Xiaomin invited him to the scene.

Lei Xiaoyu looked regretful in front of Yang Zhenlan. But when facing Hu Xiaomin, he looked arrogant. How could he take Hu Xiaomin, a young boy, seriously after more than ten years in the army?

When the division headquarters reported to Yang Zhenlan, Lei Xiaoyu was quick to learn and found the best explanation for himself. He believed that no matter who came to investigate, this explanation would make sense.

Lei Xiaoyu raised his head and snorted coldly at his nostrils: "Director Hu, we are busy with military affairs and have something to say."

Hu Xiaomin said bluntly: "You are the Communist Party!"

Lei Xiaoyu was furious and glared at Hu Xiaomin: "Speak nonsense!"

Hu Xiaomin said lightly: "Okay, please ask Commander Lei to tell us in detail about the battle process in Ruxi Baipu Town."

Lei Xiaoyu said with confidence: "The battle started, and I was pulled away by the guards and I didn't know what happened."

Hu Xiaomin said coldly: "You are the leader of the secret service regiment and do not understand the battle process of the secret service regiment? The secret service regiment was attacked by a regiment of the New Fourth Army and fled without fighting, resulting in the great defeat of the entire secret service regiment, as well as the Jiangbei Company, which also suffered heavy losses due to the secret service regiment. According to our investigation, the secret service regiment did not fight against the 1st Brigade and 2nd Regiment of the New Fourth Army at that time, but cooperated with them to occupy Baipu Town!"

In this battle, the biggest losses were not only the secret service regiment, but also the Japanese Jiangbei Company. They collected a large amount of military supplies in Ruxi Baipu Town. They originally wanted to use them to deal with the northern Jiangsu base, but the New Fourth Army was cheaper.

Hu Xiaomin brought Lei Xiaoyu over, and in addition to obtaining Zhao Shijun's consent, he also received Qingqi Qingyin's approval. The Japanese hoped to severely punish Lei Xiaoyu and to make him responsible for the burning of Jiangbei Company.

So far, the Japanese do not know that most of the supplies of Jiangbei Company were actually transported away by the New Fourth Army, and some were distributed to the people of Baipu Town. Only a small part of them were burned down if they could not be taken away.

Lei Xiaoyu said dissatisfiedly: "Director Hu, please investigate whether it's okay. I'm not fleeing without a fight, but I'm just affected by wrong information. At that time, I was going to go to the front line to command. It was my guard who misjudged the New Fourth Army to attack outside the regiment headquarters. I was afraid that I would have an impact, so I forced me to leave."

Hu Xiaomin sneered: "As the commander of the secret service regiment, he was actually influenced by the guards. How did you become the commander of the regiment? If the New Fourth Army fights outside the regiment headquarters, you can give up your subordinates and escape?"

Lei Xiaoyu explained to himself: "The situation was very complicated at that time and there was no effective resistance at all."

Hu Xiaomin stared at Lei Xiaoyu and asked in a deep voice: "Is it because the organization cannot afford effective resistance, or is there no organizational resistance at all?"

Whether you can resist or not is a matter of ability and combat effectiveness. Whether you have resistance or not is a matter of attitude.

Lei Xiaoyu's eyes were defeated and he whispered: "It is true that he cannot afford effective resistance."

Hu Xiaomin said sarcastically: "If you cannot organize effective resistance, it means that you, the commander of the regiment, is not qualified! But based on the information I have, the secret service regiment and the New Fourth Army are about to collapse. Before the New Fourth Army launched an attack, the secret service regiment voluntarily gave up the position. This is quite like the commander of the Lei."

In short, if Lei Xiaoyu does not organize resistance, he will be suspected of the Communist Party. If the organization fails to support the resistance, it will be serious dereliction of duty. No matter what the situation is, Lei Xiaoyu will be punished.

Lei Xiaoyu's tone softened, and his voice was not as loud as before: "I have been demoted to battalion commander now. If Director Hu is not satisfied, he can let the division seat down to company commander or even platoon commander. As long as I am still wearing military uniforms, I will definitely seek justice from the New Fourth Army in the future."

Hu Xiaomin shouted coldly: "There is no future, come here, take Lei Xiaoyu down."

It is not surprising that Lei Xiaoyu does not recognize the Communist Party. He is not a Communist Party at all. With Lei Xiaoyu's character of fleeing without fighting, the Communist Party will not want him.

Hu Xiaomin then arrested a group of officers and soldiers of the secret service regiment who had retreated from Ruxi Baipu Town to the office. At that time, they all admitted that before the New Fourth Army attacked, some people disturbed the morale of the army and spread rumors. After Lei Xiaoyu left, some people even falsely spread Lei Xiaoyu's orders, asking the secret service regiment to retreat quickly.

Hu Xiaomin discovered that this was a new situation. He didn't know who was so clever, so he issued an order in the name of Lei Xiaoyu. The situation was indeed very chaotic at that time. When he heard that it was Lei Xiaoyu who gave the order, the spy group, which had no intention of fighting, naturally scattered.

Hu Xiaomin wrote a detailed report on these situations and finally sent them to Qingqi Qingyin's desk. He was worried that Qingqi Qingyin would not understand Chinese, so he wrote a copy in Japanese.

Seeing Lei Xiaoyu retreating before the battle, Qingqi Qingyin was very angry. For the Japanese officers, the military chief ran away before the battle was fought, which was absolutely not allowed.

Besides, the secret service regiment is not like a defeated army. According to Wei Yaoxian's report, the secret service regiment is more like an organized escape. They gave up their strong fortifications and bunkers and ran away without firing a single shot.

Qingqi Qingyin's opinion is: openly shoot Lei Xiaoyu to correct the morale of the army.

Hu Xiaomin personally sent this decision to Yang Zhenlan's division headquarters and said in a serious tone:

"Team Commander Yang, Lei Xiaoyu is very likely to be a Communist Party. From this battle, we can see that he maintained a good tacit understanding with the New Fourth Army. When the New Fourth Army advances, he retreats. When the New Fourth Army attacks, he fled. Seeing that the secret service regiment suffered huge losses, almost half of them fled back. More than one battalion was captured by the New Fourth Army. If those people are willing to come back, the New Fourth Army will also pay travel expenses. Overall, the secret service regiment's losses are actually not large. However, the Jiangbei Company was in a tragedy, and millions of yuan of supplies were burned down, which made our sweep of northern Jiangsu suddenly stagnate."

Yang Zhenlan frowned: "But even so, Lei Xiaoyu doesn't have to die, right?"

Hu Xiaomin said lightly: "If he doesn't die, Commander Yang will explain to the Japanese why he appointed such a person as the commander of the regiment. Also, there are rumors outside that Commander Yang is also a Communist Party. If Lei Xiaoyu doesn't die, he will have to investigate in depth. If he bites people inside and says Commander Yang is his backstage and you instructed him to cooperate with the New Fourth Army, do you think the Japanese believe it or not?"

Yang Zhenlan stopped talking. If he had trouble himself in order to protect Lei Xiaoyu, he would definitely give up Lei Xiaoyu decisively.

Hu Xiaomin reminded: "In the future, please ask Commander Yang to pay attention to the work of the Political Department, so that the Communist Party can no longer be allowed to move within us."

In the afternoon of the same day, the Military Affairs Office executed Lei Xiaoyu by shooting. Qingqi Qingyin was very satisfied with Hu Xiaomin. He asked Hu Xiaomin to prepare a security team of about 200 people to cooperate with the Japanese army to raid the CCP’s Lubei Special Committee.
