After receiving the report from Kumimu Chongming, the headquarters of the North China Front Army in Beiping sent a stern reprimand telegram to Major General Maeda Akiyu, commander of the Guhuai garrison.

The telegram also ordered him to solve the serious problems that Gu Huai was currently facing.

After receiving the telegram, Maeda Akiyu called Taro Hamada, the captain of the military police, and Nakatani Zao, the head of the special high school section, to the front of him, and without saying a word, he first slapped each of them twice.

"Baga! You group of waste, didn't you say that the Guhuai underground party suffered a heavy blow, then who spread this information, you see, we failed in this sweep in terms of intelligence leakage. Maeda Akiyu roared, he had just seen the reprimand telegram from the North China Command, and he was furious and didn't know how to send it.

Taro Hamada and Zao Nakatani "Hay! Hello! He slapped him on the ground, standing motionless and straight, listening to Maeda's reprimand.

"The frequent ambush attacks on the convoy show that the Eighth Route Army has very accurate intelligence. Moreover, the convoys that were attacked were all from Guhuai, which fully shows that these information were transmitted from Guhuai. Maeda Akiyu calmed down a little and analyzed slowly.

"The case of the bombing of the arsenal has not been solved, the murderer is nowhere to be found, and now it is the frequent leakage of all kinds of information, what are you doing every day? Check for me, intensify efforts to eliminate these anti-Japanese elements, and arrest them all. Maeda roared again.

"Hello!" Taro Hamada and the two responded.

"There is still action below the troops, and we must not suffer the same loss again." Maeda Akiyu ordered.

Then, he said: "While purging the anti-Japanese forces in Guhuai, we will increase our efforts to collect intelligence on the base areas of the Eighth Route Army to provide a basis for our next actions." ”

After returning home, an important meeting was held in the special high school.

In addition to the devils of the special high class, the leaders of the detective team, the garrison team, and the action team all attended the meeting. The head of the gendarmerie, Taro Hamada, also attended the meeting and severely reprimanded all the participants.

Diao Yifeng and Hu Lifeng were ordered to intensify their efforts to crack down on Gu Huai's anti-Japanese forces.

Ordered Chen Dabiao to make every effort to collect intelligence on the base area and prepare to retaliate against the Eighth Road.

The meeting ended with the devil's angry scolding and roaring.

In this large-scale counter-sweep, Feng Tiandong took the initiative to provide several times of intelligence for the Eighth Route Army during this time.

Because of the support of intelligence, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region made a decision to go all out to attack the Japanese troops along the way of Guhuai, in addition to ambushing a small group of Japanese puppet troops, the main thing was to attack the transport troops of the devils, so that the devils could not get any supplies and supplements, so they had to end the sweep ahead of schedule and withdraw to Guhuai.

Due to the early retreat of the devils along the Guhuai Road, the plan of the devil's Fifth Route Army to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army was completely bankrupt, and similarly, the sweep had to end ahead of schedule.

Therefore, the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was very grateful to Feng Tiandong, and at the same time, he also attached great importance to it.

On this day, Feng Tiandong was on his way home when he saw Lu Chunming's meeting signal.

That night, Feng Tiandong carried two large suitcases, evaded the devil patrol, came to No. 51 Wangjiamiao Street, and saw Lu Chunming again. They hadn't seen each other for more than a month.

This place was given to Feng Tiandong by Lu Chunming last time.

As soon as they met, Lu Chunming took the initiative to reveal his identity to Feng Tiandong.

"I am the deputy director of the Enemy Engineering Division of the Political Department of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, mainly responsible for the work behind enemy lines in Guhuai City and surrounding counties." Lu Chunming said slowly and clearly, "I am here this time to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the leaders of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. ”

"Thank you for the important information you provided this time, which allowed us to be fully prepared for the enemy's sweep and avoid great losses."

This time, in the face of the encirclement of the Japanese puppet Fifth Route Army, because of accurate intelligence and insight into the enemy's deployment, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters decided not to fight hard with the devils and took the initiative to retreat to the outer line to fight.

At the same time, the base was fortified and cleared, and grain was stored and filled in wells, so that the sweeping devils could not eat food or drink water.

The main force that jumped to the outer line concentrated its superior forces to attack the transport lines of the devils, so that the sweeping devils could not be supplied and could not persist in fighting for a long time, so that they finally won the victory against the sweep.

"The information you provided provided provided an important basis for formulating a counter-sweeping plan and bought time for the timely transfer of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army."

"If the troops can be transferred a day earlier, the chances of crushing the enemy's sweep are one point greater."

"The information of the devil transport team that you provided in time has provided us with a huge help in the transportation line to fight the devils."

"It can be said that the intelligence you provided played a big role in the victory of this anti-sweep."

Lu Chunming concluded his statement in the form of a conclusion.

"It's just a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, it's all for the sake of the war of resistance." Feng Tiandong, who had been listening quietly, replied modestly when he saw that Lu Chunming finished speaking.

Then, Lu Chunming briefed Feng Tiandong on some other information about this anti-sweep.

Feng Tiandong, who heard this, was very excited.

After talking about this anti-sweep, Lu Chunming changed his words and asked, "How did you know that I had a relationship with Shopkeeper Cui?" "It's a question he's been baffling all along.

Hearing Lu Chunming's question, Feng Tiandong did not answer directly, but pondered for a long time, lit a cigarette, and said slowly:

"When I was in Japan, I had come into contact with some articles on communism, read Marxist philosophical works such as "Capital", and also read "History of Imperialist Aggression in China" and "Political Economy", which gave me a very good impression of the Communist Party."

"After returning to China, I also had a special understanding of the Communist Party of China, and understood what kind of political party the Communist Party of China is.

Then, Feng Tiandong talked to Lu Chunming about his understanding of communism.

Feng Tiandong's statement shocked Lu Chunming very much, and Feng Tiandong's understanding of communism had reached a very high level.

In the conversation with Feng Tiandong, Lu Chunming could clearly feel that Feng Tiandong's heart was towards the revolution and the Communist Party. Such a person will inevitably become a staunch communist fighter.

After a pause, Feng Tiandong explained some of his behaviors with some embarrassment: "After contacting you, I think you should be from the Communist Party, in order to be sure, after I helped you deliver the letter last time, I quietly followed the shopkeeper Cui and confirmed the contact point of 'Hengtai Teahouse'." ”

"After you left after you recovered from your injury, I followed you for a while, and I saw you and Shopkeeper Cui in contact, and finally determined the identity and relationship between you and Shopkeeper Cui."

"I wanted to talk about it when I saw you again, but due to the urgency of the situation this time, I couldn't find you in a hurry, so I had no choice but to take the risk to find Shopkeeper Cui."

Feng Tiandong took a few puffs of cigarette in a row, with a look of shame, and explained the problem that Lu Chunming was concerned about.

"Your ability is quite great, and you have followed me for so long without being discovered, which is also a credit that you are not our enemy, otherwise, our organization would have suffered a lot of losses." Lu Chunming said angrily.

The more he listened to Lu Chunming, the more he was afraid in his heart, if Feng Tiandong was a trap set by the enemy, it would really be possible to wipe out the Guhuai underground party, and it seemed that in the future, it would be necessary to strengthen the training of the underground party's related abilities.

"I can't help it, and I'm afraid that this is a temptation of the enemy. Diao Yifeng has always been suspicious of me, the stakes are high, and I must be cautious. Feng Tiandong said cautiously, continuing to explain his behavior.

"I had some training as a special agent when I was studying in Japan, and I probably have a good talent for it, and I'm pretty good at tracking and counter-tracking." Feng Tiandong once again pushed his skills to Japanese training.

To understand how Feng Tiandong discovered Hengtai Teahouse and Shopkeeper Cui, Lu Chunming's last stone also fell to the ground.

Next, Lu Chunming suddenly became extremely serious, and his eyes looked directly at Feng Tiandong: "Have you ever thought about joining the Communist Party of China?" ”

"I would very much like to be a member of the party." Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Tiandong stood up and said very solemnly.

Lu Chunming pressed Feng Tiandong's shoulder, asked him to sit down, and said to him: "I am talking to you on behalf of the organization this time, and I will truthfully report to my superiors what I know and your understanding of the party." ”

Before leaving, Feng Tiandong handed over the two suitcases containing the medicine to Lu Chunming.
