After a month of attacking, in October 1939, Germany occupied Poland.

When the news came, the world was in an uproar.

The Japanese, on the other hand, were silent about the German victory, and as an ally of Germany, the Japanese devils were actually very irritated by the fact that Germany would easily occupy all of Poland. It has been more than two years since the "77 Incident" when the Japanese devils attacked China, but since the Battle of Wuhan, there has been no progress. Therefore, the Japanese base camp was very disappointed, and repeatedly ordered several invading fronts to prepare and intensify their efforts to quickly conquer the whole of China.

But now, Japan as a whole is facing an unprecedented predicament.

In the past 10 years or so, the Japanese government has vigorously advocated ****, recklessly waged wars of aggression in Asia, and greatly consumed a large amount of wealth accumulated by the entire Japan in the past 100 years since the "Meiji Restoration."

A large amount of military spending has consumed almost half of Japan's finances. For Japan, most of its strategic materials, such as steel, cement, rubber, and oil, need to use its small foreign exchange reserves and gold to buy from other countries.

Development cannot keep up with consumption, and compared with China, Japan is only a small country after all, and it cannot consume China in terms of population and resources.

At present, Japan's international foreign exchange is becoming less and less, and the domestic economic situation is in danger.

Since the beginning of this year, there has been a shortage of rice and electricity in Japan, the poverty of national strength has rapidly surfaced, cities have generally begun to impose restrictions on grain purchases, and the government has forced the people to buy treasury bonds in order to delay inflation, with the result that the people's money bags have become more and more empty, and their living standards have deteriorated.

Under the invasion of the economic crisis, in order to maintain its own economy from collapse, Japan could only make every effort to increase its plundering of the occupied areas, and China's northern China region naturally bore the brunt.

Not only that, but the Japanese base camp also demanded that all the occupation forces currently in China should solve most of the supply problems on their own, and it was especially important to solve the food problem.

In the past two years, the supply of supplies to the Japanese army has become increasingly stretched on the mainland, so the Japanese base camp has issued orders to the several fronts occupying China that food must be solved on the spot.

Against this background, in North China, a status quo was formed in which both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese devils were eyeing the grain harvest in the coming year.

In order not to interfere with spring plowing and affect next year's grain harvest, the devils are preparing to do their best to compress the anti-Japanese base area of the Eighth Route Army before spring ploughing, and for this reason, the North China Front Army Command issued an order to the 110th Division and the Guhuai garrison to sweep in winter, and their main target is the Jinchaji anti-Japanese base area.

The devils hoped that through this winter sweep, before the spring ploughing, they would inflict heavy losses on the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, Chahar, and Hebei, so as to further consolidate the occupied areas in the coming year and better prepare for plundering the resources of North China, especially the plundering of grain.

In preparation for the upcoming winter sweeps, the Japanese began frequent movements.

Of course, the news that the devil was preparing to launch a winter sweep was easily known by Feng Tiandong, and he was always paying attention to the transfer of the devil.

However, as time went by, Feng Tiandong found that the devils' preparations for this sweep were very strange, they did not gather troops, but instead dispersed their troops and stationed them in various counties, further strengthening the deployment of troops in each county in the occupied area.

In particular, in the 110th Division, he transferred almost all the mobile troops that could be mobilized from Shimen and assigned them to several county towns such as Yixian, Tangxian, and Laishui, and the heavy troops were huddled in the county seats.

This situation is not like a sweep, there is no intention of taking the initiative to attack, but it is like a defensive posture to consolidate the county town that has been occupied.

"There must be some conspiracy here!" Feng Tiandong secretly thought in his heart, he must understand the situation clearly, so as not to be deceived by his troops.

For this reason, Feng Tiandong is always paying attention to the situation of the Japanese devils.

After meeting with Feng Tiandong and talking in detail, Liu Baosheng quietly left Guhuai City under the pretext of going to other counties to buy goods, and returned to the location of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters. He needed to report Feng Tiandong's situation to the enemy engineering department in person.

In Director Li Mingnan's office, he and Lu Chunming listened to Liu Baosheng's report together.

Getting rid of Zhang Yanqing is a very happy thing, and not only Chongqing has praised and hyped up this matter. **The Eighth Route Army also applauded and was happy to see this happen.

Zhang Yanqing's destructive power is too great, and the role played by the Xinmin Association is too bad, he is politically and ideologically eroding the Chinese people, and in some ways it is worse than the military occupation of the Japanese army.

When Lu Chunming opened the secret letter that Feng Tiandong gave him, he saw that there was only one sentence on it: The military commander is codenamed Young Master. Combined with Liu Baosheng's report: Zhang Yanqing was killed by a gunman named "Young Master".

Immediately understood, everything was clear, Feng Tiandong's code name in the military command was "Young Master", and it was he who got rid of Zhang Yanqing in Tianjin.

Li Mingnan and Lu Chunming glanced at each other, and each understood what they meant, and both showed expressions of relief and fear.

Fortunately, it was our own people who killed Zhang Yanqing, and they were sincerely proud; What I am afraid of is that Feng Tiandong, who is acting alone, must have been difficult and dangerous to assassinate Zhang Yanqing in Tianjin, and I can't help but worry about him.

After Liu Baosheng reported on Feng Tiandong's situation last time, Li Mingnan had already reported to the head of the military region Feng Tiandong's judgment on the trend of the control of devils' materials, as well as the material channels he had mastered.

The head of the military region also attached great importance to this, and specially studied Feng Tiandong's judgment and how to protect and use Feng Tiandong's material channels.

According to the arrangement of the headquarters, Li Mingnan ordered Liu Baosheng: "Your old superior, Shi Mingfei, will return to Guhuai soon, and in the future, he will be your only upline." ”

"For the safety of the wild goose, you can only contact Shi Mingfei in the future, and you can no longer contact with other traffic officers. In the future, unless you encounter a particularly urgent situation, you should not go back to the base area casually to avoid revealing flaws. ”

"What's more, Shi Mingfei will also form a special team to serve the supply channels of wild geese, and you are also a member of this team."

Subsequently, Li Mingnan's face became more solemn, and he said extremely seriously: "Comrade Liu Baosheng, I don't need to emphasize the importance of Comrade Wild Goose, you should be very clear. The arrangement of you as his only traffic officer is the full trust of the organization in you, and we all have an obligation to ensure the safety of Comrade Wild Goose. ”

"Another thing you have to remember is that the identity of the wild goose is a very high secret in the party, and even Comrade Shi Mingfei doesn't know who the wild goose is. You have to keep it a secret and don't reveal it to anyone. ”

Liu Baosheng got up, stood upright, and nodded very solemnly.

When leaving, Lu Chunming personally sent Liu Baosheng out, and he still had something to tell Liu Baosheng.

As soon as he walked out of Li Mingnan's office, he happened to meet several people who hurriedly came to Li Mingnan, one of whom was the deputy director of the political department of the first sub-district, and he was followed by two people.

They all knew Lu Chunming and naturally greeted each other, and one of them passed by Liu Baosheng and glanced at each other.

That person was Gu Xicheng, the deputy section chief of the hoeing and rape section of the Political Department of the First Division.
