January 11, 1943, Shanxi Province, China.

"Comrade Xiaolin, are you saying that the devil intends to withdraw from Qinyuan County?" An Ziwen, secretary of the Taiyue Military Region District Party Committee, asked in an unbelievable tone.

In January 1940, in order to consolidate the Taiyue District and strengthen the military strength in the area, the Special Service Group of the Headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army entered the Taiyue District to carry out the struggle against the enemy. In June, according to the decision of the Licheng Conference of the Northern Bureau, the Taiyue Military Region was established, with the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the leading organ of the Military Region, known as the Taiyue Column to the outside world, with Chen Geng concurrently serving as the commander, and the Military Region was under the command of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, with three military subdivisions under it, and An Ziwen served as the secretary of the district party committee.

"Yes, not only will it withdraw from Qinyuan County, but it may also withdraw from more county seats......" Kobayashi Mitsuhide, who was sitting opposite him, dressed in a cotton military uniform and glasses, and dressed as a standard Eighth Route Army, nodded, walked to the map and gestured, "The latest policy of the Japanese army is to shrink its forces and focus on defense, and in the near future it will take the initiative to withdraw from a number of county towns in western and southern Shanxi, and the number should be more than 15, and I am not clear about the specific list and retreat schedule." ”

Mitsuhide Kobayashi is a mysterious figure. In December 1942, after the Japanese army occupied most of the Taiyue Military Region with Qinyuan County as the core, it immediately launched a targeted sweep, dispatching more than 20,000 Japanese puppet troops, but in the process of the sweep, a 40-year-old Japanese soldier Zhongzuo suddenly broke away from the army and was intercepted by a military engineering team of the Taiyue Military Region on the way.

At first, he was treated as a prisoner, and because of his rank and status, the military engineering team sent him to a higher authority overnight. Then, all those who followed the incident received the shocking news that instead of being frustrated and committing suicide like other Japanese prisoners, Kobayashi Mitsuhide happily announced that he had found an organization.

If China's nationwide War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression began in 1937, it has been five and a half years, in such a long time, not to mention Japanese officers, even ordinary soldiers have not been able to catch a few, and the Japanese officer at the Zhongzuo level surrendered to Cheng, which is rare in the country, and when he was transferred to the Taiyue Military Region, An Ziwen interrogated him as soon as possible.

"You mean, you are a key member of the Japanese Anti-War League in Shanxi?"

"Yes, to be exact, I am the supreme leader of the Anti-War League in the North China Front." Kobayashi Mitsuhide can speak Chinese fluently, and he writes Chinese characters very well, and he often uses words to explain some words when he can't say clearly. He gave a glimpse of the history and origins of the Japanese Anti-War League, focused on some of the work being carried out so far, and also introduced the deeds of Hidemi Ozaki and Ko Nakanishi to An Ziwen, and the other party gasped.

"You are the Japanese Communist Party?"

"To be exact, I'm not, I'm just a sympathizer and supporter of the Japanese Communist Party, but not the Japanese Communist Party, and I'm not considering joining the Japanese Communist Party in the short term."

"Why?"

"I am skeptical of many of the policies of the Japanese Communist Party, and I agree with the Japanese Communist Party's opposition to big capitalism and militarism, but I do not agree with supporting the Soviet Union." Kobayashi Mitsuhide's tone was very flat, "In my opinion, the Communist Party of Japan is first and foremost Japanese, and then the Communist Party. It is not surprising that the CPSU demands that the communist parties of all countries obey its orders for its own interests, and it is also in the interests of the Soviet people, but this is not necessarily in the interests of the peoples. ”

At this point, An Ziwen, who was not bad at his own political level, put forward the theory of the unity of proletarian interests, but it was almost impossible to convince Kobayashi Mitsuhide, because the other party raised a difficult question to answer -- the Middle East Road incident.

Kobayashi's question is as follows: "The Eastern Railway is completely within the territory of China, it was obtained from your country by the Tsarist Empire through unequal treaties, and the Soviet Union obtained relevant benefits through inheritance, just one question, in the eyes of the Communist Party, is it better to let the Soviet Union control it, or let the Feng warlords control it?" My answer is - it's better to be controlled! No matter how bad the Feng system is, it is also Chinese, and no matter how good the Soviet Union is, it is also a foreigner. If the Soviet Union seeks to control the Middle East Road today for its own interests, it will seek to control Manchuria in the future -- if the Kuomintang controls the national power, and if one day the Soviet Union occupies Manchuria, do you think it would be better for Manchuria to remain part of China or as a union republic of the Soviet Union? ”

An Ziwen did not dare to answer this question, because if he said it, he would be suspected of taking the wrong route -- now that it was the rectification period, he did not dare to take this risk.

In addition to the Middle East Road issue, there was also a heated debate between the two sides about the Sino-Japanese war.

In the words of Mitsuhide Kobayashi: From Japan's standpoint, it is actually easy to understand the war. China has a vast land and resources, and its population is only 450 million, so of course it doesn't need or want to fight, so it's best to live in peace and stability behind closed doors. Japan has a population of 80 million, but it can only huddle on small islands, and it has no resources, and it is very difficult to feed them, so Japan will continue to wage wars to seize living space -- an old Chinese saying is called "officials forcing the people to rebel", and the lives of many Japanese peasants cannot even catch up with China.

He used a witty phrase to elaborate on the thoughts of many Japanese people: "It is inhumane for wolves to eat sheep, but if the sheep are protected from wolves, wolves will starve to death, and don't tell me that wolves can eat grass instead......

In the 1940s, there was generally no talk of great scientific and technological development, and the idea of using technological progress to solve the problem of population and survival could only go around in the established framework, so on the issue of Japan's survival and development, the two sides debated many times and could not convince each other, Kobayashi Mitsuhide himself believed that the reason why China and Japan are now entering a state of war is because the strength of the two sides is not equal, and if China is as strong as Japan or Japan is as weak as China, there will be no such thing as war. The former must be that the two sides unite to oppose Europe and the United States, and the latter must be that both sides will become colonies of Europe and the United States. If one day China is strong and Japan is weak, China may not fight Japan, but Japan will certainly send people to learn from China, just like the "Tang envoys" did.

After the relevant intelligence was reported, many people suspected that Kobayashi Mitsuhide was a Japanese spy, but whether it was Li Kenong's cadres conducting an in-depth investigation or asking Nosaka Sanzo (pseudonym Lin Zhe), chairman of the Japanese Communist Party in Yan'an, could not confirm the identity of the spy. Nosaka had always been in charge of the workers' movement in Japan, had a relatively high level of theory, and also had a Comintern background, but he had never served in the army, so although he could explain the situation in Japan as a whole, he was blind to the situation inside the Japanese army.

Kobayashi Mitsuhide is a very practical soldier, and he does not know the overall situation in Japan, but he can tell the confidential information within the Japanese army, including the organization, organization, equipment, soldier training, officer training, logistics and other work of the army, and he wrote tens of thousands of words in a series of tasks -- he explained that he worked in the General Staff Department of the North China Front Army because he knew Chinese and was also responsible for collecting intelligence about China.

As the investigation deepened, the initiative for the inquiry was in the hands of the security cadres sent by Yan'an, and the questions became more and more acute.

"Have you ever killed a Chinese?"

"Killed ......"

"How many?"

"Not much, 3-4 pcs. I am Zhongzuo, and I work in the staff system most of the time, and I basically can't directly kill Chinese. There were only 3-4 people who were asked to shoot and kill people directly, and it was before the Zhina Incident (77 Incident), when I was a squadron leader in Manchuria to clear out the guerrillas, but I can guarantee that I had not killed Chinese civilians, nor had I committed any other criminal acts—in any case, I was also an officer who graduated from the non-commissioned officer school and the Lu University. ”

Kobayashi's attitude satisfied everyone - at first he thought he would hide these questions, but he readily admitted them, not only explaining the relevant time and place, but also showing the process of the final defeat of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army from the side.

After reversing the relevant prejudices and stances, the people of the Eighth Route Army had to admit that he was a very good soldier -- he had outstanding staff skills and very solid basic infantry skills. His marksmanship is very accurate, the grenade is thrown very far, the Taiyue Military Region has captured some Japanese grenadiers, and there are very few soldiers who can hit accurately, but in the hands of Kobayashi Mitsuhide, it is simply pointing where to hit, and the fixed target within the visual range will inevitably hit within 4 shots. In terms of stabbing skills, although he is a middle-aged man in his 40s, he is still comfortable with the three Eighth Route Army soldiers.

This superb skill, coupled with his statements in the course of the previous debates, led the people of the Taiyue Military Region to believe that Kobayashi Mitsuhide was not a Japanese spy, and if he was a spy, he should keep a low profile as much as possible so as to blend in, and not cause disputes with such heated arguments. More importantly, Kobayashi Mitsuhide is very capable -- he can get the arms that the Eighth Route Army urgently needs.

After the Qinyuan sweep passed, the days for the Japanese army to come out to sweep became fewer, and the frequency of going to the countryside became less and less, and they only retreated to a few county towns, almost ignoring the vast rural areas outside, and allowed large areas of "public security areas" to become "quasi-public security areas" and then from "quasi-public security areas" to "non-public security areas." Correspondingly, the vigorous anti-Japanese base areas -- arms became the most urgently needed thing.

After the initial dismissal of suspicion, in order to continue to observe him, Kobayashi Mitsuhide was assigned to work in the Taiyue Military Region on the spot, mainly responsible for training and education, responsible for carrying out the regularization education of the whole military region, and helping cadres improve their relevant military capabilities; he not only did an excellent job, but also said that he could bring arms to the base areas; although An Ziwen was suspicious of this, he did not stop him, and let him write a letter to the Japanese army and ask for 10 rifles and 2,000 rounds of ammunition, and also specified the place of transportation.

At the appointed time, according to the clues and goals he provided, the Eighth Route Army really dug up the munitions and replied to the letter. (To be continued.) )
