With free time, Feng Tiandong fulfilled his previous promise and went to the security group to invite Cai Anping to dinner.

When he came to the barracks of the Beiguan Security Corps, Feng Tiandong found that there seemed to be a lot fewer soldiers inside than when he came here last time, but there were cars and cars in the barracks, including mules and horses, carts, and cars, constantly transporting a large number of materials to the camp, including weapons, ammunition, supplies, clothing, etc.

What are they doing here, where are all their soldiers? Why are you stockpiling so many supplies in the security corps? For these problems, Feng Tiandong did not start to pay attention.

When I came to the regiment headquarters, I found that the door was open, Cai Anping was not inside, only his adjutant Yang Shilang was sitting alone on the sofa in the office, holding an unknown book, and was reading it with relish.

Feng Tiandong knocked lightly on the open door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Adjutant Yang raised his head, and when he saw that it was Feng Tiandong, he quickly put down the books in his hand, got up to greet him, and greeted him warmly.

"Oh, isn't this Feng Translator, why are you free to come here today, please come in and sit." Yang Shilang diligently stretched out his hand to let Feng Tiandong go to the regiment headquarters.

"Hehehe, I left last time I was really in a hurry, it was really rude, and I came here today, but I made a special trip to make amends to Head Cai." Feng Tiandong walked into the regiment headquarters, sat lazily on the sofa, and said.

Then, he glanced around at the regiment headquarters and asked, "Huh?" Where's your leader? ”

"Oh, Translator Feng, it's really a coincidence, Commander Cai went to the headquarters, you wait a while, it is estimated that you will be able to come back soon." Yang Shilang replied and instructed the orderlies to serve tea to Feng Tiandong.

Feng Tiandong picked up the teacup given by the orderly, took a shallow sip, and then took out a cigarette and handed it to Adjutant Yang.

"Adjutant Yang, I looked at our barracks today and felt a little strange, why are there so few soldiers compared to the last time I came, what's going on?" Feng Tiandong showed a puzzled look and asked.

"Translator Feng, as you know, our security regiment has just been established, and the personnel are not full, so if we don't send another battalion to Shiban Village in front to carry out the task, there will naturally be fewer people in the barracks." Yang Shilang replied.

"Oh, I said!" Feng Tiandong suddenly realized.

Feng Tiandong really wanted to ask Yang Shilang's battalion what mission was going on? Why did so much material come to the barracks? But after thinking about it, in order not to attract Yang Shilang's attention, he still couldn't help but not speak.

What Yang Shilang said just now, the news that the security regiment sent a battalion to Shiban Village attracted Feng Tiandong's attention, Li Yonghe has been stationed in Xiguan for almost two years, and he has never performed a similar task, and now this situation is happening, I don't know why.

Feng Tiandong secretly decided to take the time to go to Shiban Village to see what the security team was doing in Shiban Village, maybe he could understand some of the enemy's intentions from this matter.

At noon, Feng Tiandong and Cai Anping sat in the private room of the "Yanchun Building".

After the two of them toasted a glass of wine, Cai Anping put down the wine glass and said, "Thank you Feng Translator!" ”

"Head Cai is polite, last time I left in a hurry, it was too rude, today I will borrow this glass of wine to make amends to Head Cai." Feng Tiandong said, filled the wine glasses of the two again, picked up the wine glass and signaled to Cai Anping, and then drank it dry in one gulp.

Cai Anping accompanied Feng Tiandong to drink the wine in the cup.

After eating a mouthful of food, Feng Tiandong smiled and complimented: "Commander Cai is mighty, you are much stronger than the original Li Yonghe, he is just a colonel, you are a general." ”

"Hey! It's really not worth mentioning, this general was originally promised to me by the Japanese, but unfortunately, it's useless, and now he is not a regiment commander. Cai Anping waved his hand.

"But fortunately, the security regiment is about to be expanded into a security brigade, and all kinds of supplies have been prepared, just waiting for us to recruit troops slowly." Cai Anping looked a little proud.

Oh! understood, it turned out that those materials were prepared for the expansion of the army, so Feng Tiandong raised his glass and said, "I congratulate Brigade Commander Cai first." ”

"Hahaha......."

After drinking a glass of wine, Cai Anping slammed the wine glass on the table and sighed: "Alas! However, how easy is it, Feng Yi, now that even the soldiers of the security regiment are not full, when will we be able to recruit enough people to become a security brigade. ”

"Commander Cai, what these people who want to be soldiers are not yet there, as long as they are paid on time, the poor sticks around who can't eat enough will not flock here." Feng Tiandong said.

"This is our difficulty, now the entire North China Appeasement Army is expanding, and our security regiment does not belong to the Appeasement Army sequence, without the support of the government, there is no money!" Cai Anping spoke out about his difficulties.

"Translator Feng, you are very familiar with the government, and you will be given face in all aspects, you have to help my brother, communicate with them, and allocate some funds to us." Cai Anping said that this was the real reason why he found a way to get acquainted with Feng Tiandong.

Then, Cai Anping said: "However, our security army also has advantages, that is, the materials are much stronger than the appeasement army, if you don't get the funds again, it's really not good, I will sell some materials for money." ”

Feng Tiandong was overjoyed, and just wanted to say, "I'll help you sell!" Thinking about it again, Cai Anping is not a good bird, he is not trustworthy at all, and he must not leave a flaw here, besides, are these materials still used to buy? Feng Tiandong already regarded them as his own, and he couldn't let him buy them.

So, he hurriedly said to stop him: "Commander Cai, this is not good, if the Japanese know it, it will be repaid, so let's go back, after I go back, report your situation to Ishikawa Taijun, and strive to let the government help you some." ”

"Great, then I'll thank you Feng in advance."

……

In order to find out what tasks the security team sent troops to undertake and understand the intentions of the devils, the next day, Feng Tiandong quietly slipped out of Guhuai City and came to the vicinity of the slate village that Yang Shilang said yesterday.

Shiban Village is a small village, located in the northwest of Guhuai City, after Feng Tiandong's observation, he found that there, in addition to Cai Anping sent a battalion of troops, there was also a squad of devil soldiers with them.

It can be seen that the devil attaches great importance to Slate Village.

Feng Tiandong also found that the security group had recruited a lot of people, and was building a large number of people in Shiban Village, building a fortress stronghold, judging from the scale of the project, this is a very large stronghold to be built.

Looking at the location of Shiban Village, compared with the map in his mind, Feng Tiandong immediately found that this Shiban Village was a very important strategic location.

Shiban Village, almost ten miles northwest of Qianchu Guhuai, guards three main roads, and the stronghold established by the devils here can be turned into an advance base for the devils' assault attacks at any time.

With this stronghold, Gu Huai's devils have become able to attack and defend, and the entire surrounding territory within a radius of dozens of miles is under the control of Gu Huai's devils. In this way, the environment for the activities of the Eighth Route Army can be further damaged, and in the upcoming war for food, the Japanese devils will be in a very advantageous position.

No, this stronghold must be uprooted! Destroy the strategic intentions of the devils.

Moreover, it is necessary to grasp the right time to uproot the stronghold, not only to take advantage of the devil's new stronghold and destroy it when it is not stable, but also to make it impossible for the Japanese devils to rebuild it before the war for food.

Feng Tiandong decided to keep an eye on the construction process of the Devil's Slate Village stronghold.
