Commander Lu was sitting in the Chinese military account with a deep frown on his face. He was staring at the map on the low table in a daze while cooperating with the interview with the propaganda officer Song Xiaoci. Song was holding half a pencil and writing non-stop in a small notebook. .
The intelligence system established by Su Qing is still in operation. This morning, Luo Fugui and the girl came back with a piece of intelligence. Then, another simple note arrived at the wine station: Mei County Japs are gathering, and the specific movements are unknown.
Song Xiaoci was not interested in Commander Lu at first, and would stay in the health team for two or three days even if he could do it. But when it came to publicity, Commander Lu naturally knew more than anyone else and reluctantly agreed to be interviewed by Director Song. , but the interview lasted for two days, and it looked like it would be endless.
Unsure of what was going on, Officer Zheng entered the regimental tent, interrupted the interview between the two, sat down opposite Song Xiaoci, straightened the teapot that had been lifted upside down, and poured water into it.
Both of them stared at Director Zheng.
"What are you staring at? Hey, Commander Lu, I analyze that the Japs' current target may be the Qingfeng Guerrilla Brigade." Director Zheng interrupted Director Song's interview, not caring at all. "Xiao Zheng, please step aside."
A large group of people and a small group of people followed in, including the girl and Luo Fugui who were reluctant to step down from their duties as group leaders.
Song Xiaoci put away the broken notebook and half-cut pencil and left the tent.
"By the way, when you go out, call Luo Fugui and Chang Hongying... comrades." Director Zheng was not polite at all.
"Captain Chang Hongying has reported the snake plan to me. You are from the division. Do you have any other information?" Commander Lu glared at the big bull with an unusually gloomy look: "The sheep head matter is not over yet, what are the Japanese doing? 'Snake' plan?"
Officer Zheng corrected him sternly: "It's Plan C, not Plan Snake. The anti-enemy agent work in the division will continue. I consider these two plans to be completely unrelated and independent plans. Last time I came here, I found a sheep head." It’s still there, there’s nothing we can do to investigate now, so our focus now is on the Japanese’s Plan C.”
"It's true that the sheep head matter can be put aside for a while. Do you have any clues about the snake plan?" Captain Lu had no idea.
"The work on the inside is being done by the Ninth Company. I just arrived and I don't know much about the situation. However, on the way here, I encountered a team arranged by the division headquarters to suppress the advancing Japanese troops. The Japanese wanted to know the situation of their small group of troops entering the mountain. According to the news, I guess this plan may be related to the advance team."
"Advance team? These Japanese are very powerful. Our group encountered them and suffered heavy losses at that time."
"The Japanese advance team that Company Commander Hu met that time already knew from the captured information that the Japanese still had troops in the mountains. It was also confirmed that Chief Xu of the Security Section was a martyr. By the way, Chief Xu seemed to have a brother there. Independent Group." Director Zheng tried to remember.
"Uh, have you ever fought against the Japanese troops?" Captain Lu asked curiously.
"That's not true. The comrades who fought against the Japanese were comrades from the Beishan Regiment. They were only one class of Japanese. Their casualties were very high. Judging from the captured documents, this advance team should be an elite group, divided into three groups. They all wore the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and it was difficult to tell them apart.”
"That means there are still two classes of Japanese advance troops in the mountains?"
"Yes, but I couldn't find it. The situation is very complicated. Soldiers have been sent back to the division to report."
"Does the division headquarters have any instructions on this matter?"
"This is not very clear. However, when I set out, I brought a document from the division headquarters, and once again asked all ministries to: quickly order the 7th Brigade and other corps and divisional troops to seize the constant occurrences of the New 4th Brigade, the 1st Army Division, and the New 8th Brigade. We must resolutely implement the instructions and avoid making the same mistakes. The lesson of the New Eighth Brigade is: gather in a group, shrink to the basic area, and be unwilling to detach to carry out extensive guerrilla warfare, strengthen local guerrillas, and cause losses. It should be cited As a warning."
Captain Lu took the document, read it carefully for a while, moved the map on the low table, and marked the locations of several troops that were attacked: "In other words, the division has long known that the Japs are advancing. team, then judging from the Japs’ movement trajectory, their target will not be our independent group.”
Officer Zheng analyzed: "But there is a problem. The news from the inside of Meixian County is to inquire about a group of Japs who entered the mountain. They cannot be ordinary Japs. They are probably the group of Japs that were eliminated. At that time, I According to the analysis with Director Su, the target of the advancing team is probably the division headquarters! The advancing team may also be active in our area!"
Captain Lu's mind was racing: "I have a message here that I just received. I will send this message directly to you in the future." After speaking, he handed over a note.
Officer Zheng took a look after taking it: "I met the advancing team of the Beishan Regiment in Lijiacun, which was responsible for clearing out the Japanese squad. That place was not far from the division headquarters. The destination of Captain Hu of the Ninth Company should be the division headquarters, but we did not encounter it. It means that he took another road to the division headquarters, but that road is much more difficult to walk, and I think the Japanese might be on that road."
"Girl, what are you doing at the door? Hurry in. What else did the insider say?" Captain Lu looked unusually serious and nervous.
"I didn't say anything. Firstly, they wanted to inquire about the Qiufeng guerrilla brigade, and secondly, they wanted to inquire about a Japanese army entering the mountains. I think this is probably a cover. What use can information about breaking up the guerrillas do to the Japanese?" The chief ducked in from the edge of the tent, pulled open the water jar on the table and filled it.
Officer Zheng was stunned: This temporary leader has some skills!
He said hurriedly: "Then what do you mean, Captain Maeda of Meixian County's purpose is to find out information about the Japanese in the mountains?"
"This seems to be your job!" Xiao Hongying sat on the table, lying down and looking at the map like a painting, with her ponytail hanging down and her little hands playing with the corners of her clothes, feeling depressed.
When I found out that Vixen had been transferred to the replenishment team, I was a little worried. I was worried that if Vixen left, would the Fox also run away?
Company Commander Zhou of the Beishan Regiment came across the fox before, but the vixen and Officer Zheng who came from the division headquarters did not encounter him along the way.
"What's going on with that security force?" Commander Lu frowned.
"What are you talking about, Hao Yun? I met him in Niujia Village. I heard from Squad Leader Li that he went there with Company Commander Hu, and he almost ambush us. When I asked him something, I couldn't speak clearly. By the way, Brought it back."
"Why would Fox lead this security force?" Xiao Hongying suddenly became interested.
fox? Officer Zheng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses: "Then you have to ask Company Commander Hu."
Xiao Hongying rolled her eyes.
"You said that the Beishan Regiment sent a battalion into the mountains to clear out the advancing Japanese troops. Why didn't we get the news? Isn't the Beishan Regiment's station much further away than us?"
Officer Zheng was a little embarrassed: "You only have such a small number of people. At the most, you only had four companies. I heard that after a battle, only seventeen or eight companies were left in nine companies. How can the division have the nerve to transfer you into the mountains!"
Captain Lu was silent for a while: "Then, you mean we can also send people into the mountain?"
"Can you dispatch it?" Team Leader Zheng was skeptical.
"It's not enough to have too many, but one platoon can still do it." Commander Lu said proudly.
"A platoon? You're useless." It was Officer Zheng's turn to roll his eyes.
