After Kang Peichu's death, Lu Chengzhou's activities began to become frequent.

Especially in liaison with the Third Group Army, Liu Shengzu could not lead the troops, but his political consciousness was very high.

He had realized that the Japanese would soon be doomed, and that he would have to find another way out.

In fact, except for Liu Shengzu, those traitors in the city government, if they had not contacted Chongqing before, are now terrified all day long, for fear that the national army will one day come back and settle accounts with them after the autumn.

And people like Sun Zhishu, Shen Zhuguang and others, because they have been in contact with Haigu, have been very calm recently.

When Lu Chengzhou met them as a flame, they have been particularly positive lately.

Knowing that the military commander wanted to fight against the puppet army, both of them felt that they could contribute.

After all, the North China Security Army, with a total of twelve group armies, can also contact other group armies in addition to the Third Army around Haigu.

Lu Chengzhou didn't expect that things would go well.

He soon met Liu Shengzu as a flame.

After learning that Lu Chengzhou was the commander of the Haigu Station of the Military Commander and the commissioner appointed by Chongqing to instigate rebellion, he said on the spot that he could lead the Third Army to all the things that were reversed.

As for the other security forces, Liu Shengzu can also assist in liaison, he only made one request, and after the national army came back, let him keep his current position.

Of course, Lu Chengzhou will not refuse, in fact, no matter what kind of conditions the puppet army proposes, he will not hesitate to agree.

Whether it can be done or not, promise first, as long as you are willing to do it anyway.

Just as Lu Chengzhou was moving around, Hiroshi Kawasaki suddenly arrived at his police office.

Seeing that Lu Chengzhou was about to go out, Kawasaki Hiroshi asked, "Ready to go out?" ”

Lu Chengzhou nodded: "Recently, the military command and the underground party have been active frequently, and the hearts of the people in Haigu have fluctuated, so we must grasp the dynamics of all parties in time." ”

Kawasaki Hiroshi bowed slightly, there are really not many people like Lu Chengzhou who do their best to do things for the imperial army.

The Chinese are all grass on the wall, and when they saw that the imperial army was temporarily defeated on the battlefield, they immediately began to contact Chongqing, for fear that they would be one step slower and be settled by Chongqing after the autumn.

Kawasaki Hiroshi said slowly: "Don't go out today, I'll introduce someone to you." ”

Behind Hiroshi Kawasaki, stood a Japanese man dressed in a military uniform.

Like most Japanese people, he is short and stocky, with a tenren beard.

The two eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at Lu Chengzhou, and their vicious gaze was like tearing Lu Chengzhou's chest.

"Fumio Tsunei, please take care of me!"

Bunfu Kunei bowed heavily towards Lu Chengzhou and said in a deep voice.

Lu Chengzhou hurriedly said: "Dig Nei Shaozuo is polite. ”

Kawasaki Hiroshi said coldly next to him: "The Japanese Defense Forces Command is ready to select a group of soldiers with combat experience and form a 'culling team', with Fumio Tsuunai as the captain, to sweep Baodi, Wuqing, and Jixian counties, and wipe out all the anti-Japanese forces along the way!" ”

When Lu Cheng heard this, he immediately understood Kawasaki Hiroshi's intention, and immediately said, "How do you need me to cooperate?" ”

Kawasaki Hong bowed slightly, Lu Chengzhou still understood his heart very well.

"We need someone to lead the way, provide intelligence along the way, and communicate with the local people," said Bunfu slowly. ”

The culling team was a special force, basically composed entirely of Japanese soldiers, and it was useless to rely on a few interpreters from the gendarmerie.

Lu Chengzhou said without hesitation: "How many people do you need?" I have three to fifty men at any time to serve the Dignei Shaozuo. ”

A smile finally appeared on the tight face of Bunfu Dig Nei, and he was still very satisfied with Lu Chengzhou's attitude.

He shook his head slightly, smiled and said, "You don't need so many people, ten people is about the same." ”

Lu Chengzhou said: "I immediately selected the 10 most experienced people, and Miao Guangyuan of the Intelligence Department of the North China Working Group personally led the team, and his subordinates were all experts in dealing with the Communist Party. ”

Kawasaki Hiroshi nodded and patted Fumio Nechi's shoulder: "Miao Guangyuan turned out to be the director of the Second Intelligence Office of the Military Police Detachment of the British Concession, and he specialized in dealing with the Communist Party in the Military Police. ”

Lu Chengzhou said with a smile: "Yes, Miao Guangyuan is very capable, and his original deputy, Tang Dianwu, who is now a translator in the gendarmerie." ”

Kawasaki Hiroshi said: "Tang Dianwu will also participate in this operation. ”

Lu Chengzhou naturally has no opinion, all the personnel needed are all ready.

After Kawasaki Hiroshi left, Lu Chengzhou went to the North China Working Group, called Miao Guangyuan to the office, and told him about the intelligence department's cooperation with the elimination team.

Miao Guangyuan said excitedly: "It is incumbent upon me to cooperate with the action of Dig Nei Wenfu. ”

Lu Chengzhou said: "In this way, you select some people who are experienced, especially those who are familiar with the style of the Communist Party. ”

The people Lu Chengzhou said were all Miao Guangyuan's old subordinates.

Hearing that Lu Chengzhou let him pick someone, Miao Guangyuan was also very excited, he felt that Lu Chengzhou had finally miscalculated this time.

The people selected by Miao Guangyuan were also his original subordinates.

He didn't bring any of the people he brought from the action team and Li Jiping.

In Miao Guangyuan's opinion, those people don't take advantage of it at all, and they will cause trouble for themselves if they don't do it.

At least, they won't report to Lu Chengzhou after they come back.

On February 25, 1945, the "Culling Team" led by Bunfu Dig Nei set out from Haigu Haiguang Temple, searched for puppet troops and spies along the way, and seized the Baodi area.

At the same time, a total of 1,500 people from the 13th Regiment of the Eastern Hebei Anti-Japanese Armed Forces, the Special Service Company, the Guard Company, the 10th District Team, and the Xiangwubao Brigade set up pockets in Zhaogezhuang in the northwest of Baodi County, and after 14 hours of fierce fighting, except for five Japanese soldiers who fled to Baodi County, the rest of the teams were all killed.

These included Bunfu and Miao Guangyuan, as well as his subordinates in the Intelligence Department and several translators such as Tang Dianwu.

The anti-Japanese forces seized one mountain cannon, two light guns, and a batch of other ammunition.

This battle made the Japanese army no longer dare to go deep into the liberated areas easily.

From late March to mid-April, the Japanese authorities dug deep "Huimin trenches" along the old border of Wuqing County.

The south of the road passes through the Yongding River through Shaoqidi, Baliqiao, Houxinzhuang, Dingziwu, Xiyouzhuang, Liudaokou, Daliubao Village West, Benniujiao, Donggu Port, Wangerdian, and then east to the mouth of the fishing dam, digging deep Huimin trenches, and enclosing the villages of Wuqing County.

The so-called "Huimin Trench", which the masses called the "Destruction of the People's Trench", was a deep ditch on the outside and a high earthen wall on the inside, in a vain attempt to block the attack of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

However, such a means could not really stop the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition to exposing the timidity of the Japanese army, it was just a waste of money and labor.

On April 23, 1944, the Communist Party of China (CPC) convened its Seventh National Congress in Yan'an, at which it formulated the political line of "unleashing the masses, strengthening the people's power, defeating the Japanese invaders, liberating the people of the whole country, and establishing a new democratic China".

When Lu Chengzhou received the news in early May, he was extremely excited.

And on May 8, 1945, he heard an exciting news: Germany surrendered to the Allies!
