Liu Youjun disagrees with Lu Chengzhou's opinion, and that's because he doesn't know the power of propaganda.

After Li Xiangxue learned that the Japanese were plotting against the 29th Army, Liu Youjun did not have any worries.

Li Xiangxue believed that if the united front work of the 29 th Army could be done well, and if the 29 th Army could be righteous, no matter how the Japanese were divided, they would not succeed.

"Your information is very important, I will report it to my superiors immediately." Li Xiangxue said eagerly.

The Japanese have already taken action, and there can be no longer a second of delay.

After Tian Nanchen received Li Xiangxue's report, he immediately reported to the Northern Bureau.

In accordance with the spirit of the Wayaobao Conference, the Northern Bureau decided to carry out united front work against the 29th Army in Haigu ahead of schedule with great strength.

In accordance with the decision of the Northern Bureau, the Haigu City CPC Committee mainly stepped up united front work against the officers and men of the lower ranks of the 29 th Army.

The 38th Division of the 29th Army is stationed in Haigu and is responsible for the military training of students above the second grade of Haigu High School.

The city party committee mobilized the "people first" captains and patriotic students who participated in the military training to take advantage of this opportunity to carry out activities to make friends and win them over to the anti-Japanese stand.

Many party members and members of the "People's First" team have thus become acquainted with some patriotic officers and soldiers.

After the military training, he kept in touch with them regularly, presented them with progressive books and periodicals and daily necessities, and strengthened the relationship with the officers and men of the 29th Army.

At the same time, the Haigu City CPC Committee also formed a condolence group through the Federation of Students, the "People's Pioneers" team, and other organizations, and went to Yangcun, Xiaozhan, Beicang, Machang, and other garrisons of the 29th Army on many occasions to carry out condolence activities.

Naturally, these activities of the underground party organizations could not be concealed from the Japanese secret services and the military commands.

The military commanders acquiesced in the Communist Party's approach.

The Communist Party is actively striving for the 29th Army to resist Japan, and the military commanders can turn a blind eye.

Otherwise, let the Japanese secret service pull the 29th Army over, and once there is a war in North China, the whole of North China will quickly fall into the hands of Japan.

Of course, the Communist Party's united front work is not omnipotent.

There were some officers and soldiers who were patriotic and willing to resist Japan, but they did not believe in communism.

At the same time, there are also a small number of officers and soldiers, for various reasons, either dissatisfied with the government, or resentful of the commander, or pessimistic about the Sino-Japanese war, resulting in their behavior is also negative.

There are several taverns near the Yangcun garrison of the 29th Army, and after Lu Chengzhou received the task, he would go there to soak for a few hours every day after work.

If you want to make friends, it's actually very simple, just invite someone for a drink.

Lu Chengzhou is heroic, kind, and a native of Haigu, so ordinary people will not be suspicious of him.

Lu Chengzhou usually goes to the Yangcun Tavern every other day, and as long as it is a friend who can talk to him, he is willing to treat him.

So much so that as long as Lu Chengzhou arrives at the Yangcun Tavern, he will definitely meet acquaintances.

Whether it's someone who comes to cheat to eat and drink, or someone who really wants to make friends, Lu Chengzhou will not refuse to come.

Lu Chengzhou's task was not only to serve the Japanese secret services, but also to "check and fill in the gaps" in the united front work of the Haigu underground party.

It is better for someone who is willing to be a traitor to jump out now than to suddenly appear to cooperate with the Japanese army when he fights with the Japanese army in the future.

"Brother Lu, here."

When Lu Chengzhou went to the Yangcun Tavern for the third time, as soon as he walked in, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform and no hat, who greeted him with a smile.

This person's name is Chen Deming, and he is the deputy head of the 38th Division's security brigade stationed in Yangcun.

According to the Treaty of Xincho, only foreign powers were allowed to station troops within 10 kilometers of Haigu and its surroundings, and no Chinese troops were allowed to be stationed.

In order to ensure law and order in Haigu and cope with sudden incidents, the Haigu Security Force was initially expanded to 1,500 members, but now it actually has more than 3,000 members.

This security brigade in Yangcun is actually a complete regular battalion, and Chen Deming is the deputy head of the security brigade to the outside world, but in fact the deputy battalion commander.

Don't look at the hundreds of brothers under your command, but life is hard haha.

In the past, when I went to the restaurant, I only dared to order a bottle of Lao Baigan and add a dish of shredded tofu or peanuts.

But after meeting Lu Chengzhou, every time he was a big fish and a big meat, this time he ate his mouth.

Now, let Chen Deming return to his original state, drinking stuffy wine and eating shredded tofu, he already feels light and tasteless.

"Brother Chen, is it so coincidental?" Lu Chengzhou pretended not to know and said "surprised".

"I was thinking about coming out to open meat today, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Lu, I didn't say it, I'll invite you this time." Chen Deming said "righteously".

"How? I'll count it as mine, and you'll ask for it next time. Let's go into the box. Lu Chengzhou hurriedly stopped Chen Deming's exaggerated movements.

Since Lu Chengzhou was "gracious", Chen Deming had no choice but to push the boat along the river.

"There is also a brother who is also very righteous, let me introduce you to him. Li Wanliang, the second squadron leader of the Yangcun Security Brigade. Chen Deming took advantage, of course, he would not forget his brother.

"Hello Captain Lee." Lu Chengzhou smiled and stretched out his right hand. He knew that the so-called squadron leader was actually the company commander.

Chen Deming was very disgusted by the students coming to Yang Village to offer condolences.

In particular, he found the anti-Japanese ideas propagated by the students even more ridiculous.

Chen Deming is such a person, this Li Wanliang, I'm afraid it won't be much better.

There are new friends coming, Lu Chengzhou is even more generous, he ordered a few famous dishes, what is the shark fin, elbow, red duck, as long as it is the restaurant's specialty dish, you can serve.

"This is Brother Lu, the most hospitable, and a gold owner." Chen Deming said with a smile.

"I don't know what Brother Lu does for a living?" Li Wanliang is a few years older than Lu Chengzhou, probably because of leading the troops, his face is full of vicissitudes, and he looks about the same age as Chen Deming.

"It's a shame to say that the younger brother has nothing to do, so he can only do something for foreigners in the British Concession and eat with his mouth." Lu Chengzhou said with a sigh.

"If you can do things for foreigners, you are all powerful people." Li Wanliang originally had contempt for Lu Chengzhou, but when he heard that there were foreigners behind Lu Chengzhou, he immediately didn't dare to underestimate him.

"Brother Lu often comes to Yang Village, is it for the wharf to carry goods?" Chen Deming asked suddenly.

He met Lu Chengzhou several times in this tavern, and he only felt that Lu Chengzhou was hospitable and generous, and he could eat a meal every time.

If Li Wanliang hadn't asked, he really hadn't paid attention to Lu Chengzhou's career.

Yangcun, like Tanggu and Beicang, is one of the important wharves in Haigu.

The unit of the 38th Division stationed in Yangcun claimed to be a security brigade to the outside world, but in fact it was a regular battalion.

One of the most important responsibilities of the Yangcun Security Brigade, in addition to protecting the territory and the people, is to protect the Yangcun Wharf.

"I heard that Yangcun can get Japanese goods, but there are no channels." Lu Chengzhou frowned, he just needed a suitable reason, and Chen Deming found it for him.
