Chapter 423: In-Depth Analysis Unraveling the Mystery

Linhe Township, Hebei Border Region, Western Hebei. The weather was sunny. In the afternoon.

Linhe Township. Fang's house, the headquarters of the special column. The conference room in the main room of the middle courtyard.

The news and narration brought by Fang Jiren made Meng Dakui, Yang Shushan, and Zhou Qiwei all feel the strangeness and severity of the current and future enemy situation and situation in the western Hebei region. However, the problem that is difficult to solve is that it is necessary to obtain the original copy of the Japanese army's "Mt. Fuji Plan" as soon as possible without delay, and to understand its details, specific details, implementation time, and steps, so that the Japanese army cannot discover it. Then, according to the "Mt. Fuji Plan", a plan of action was drawn up to combat and thwart the sinister conspiracy of the Japanese army. The three agreed that there was no second person to accomplish this almost impossible and dangerous task. The reason is that the headquarters of the Japanese army is located in the compound of the Fang family, which is familiar to Francis; Nakagawa Eiichi mainly works and lives in the Fang family compound; Since Francis was able to obtain such top-secret strategic high-level information, he must also have the means and ability to obtain the "Mount Fuji Project".

"Huh? Let me go and find it? How do you find it? Where can I find it? ”

Meng Dakui: "That's right. Commander, can there be a second person besides you? ”

Yang Shushan: "Commander, you have to be the only one who has a heavy responsibility, and you can't shirk it." ”

Zhou Qiwei: "Commander, how do you find it?" Where can I find it? It's all your own business, and we're at a loss for what we can do. And only you have the opportunity and conditions, since you can get such important news, then the person who tells you the news should be someone in the Japanese army headquarters who has access to high-level secrets, you go to this person to provide you with clues, cooperate with the action, and you should be able to get the 'Mount Fuji Project'. ”

"Hey? Look at what you're saying, I have to do this, huh? ”

Meng Dakui, Yang Shushan, and Zhou Qiwei nodded together with serious expressions.

"Alas. Okay, okay, then I'll do it. It is our duty to go to the soup and fire. However, the stakes are so high that I would like to stress them again······"

"Strictly keep confidential, never pass it on." Before Fang Jiren's words came out, Meng Dakui, Yang Shushan, and Zhou Qiwei said in unison.

"Okay, let's settle this matter, let's not talk about it yet. Please give each of you a report on the current situation of the special column. Political Commissar Yang, please talk about it first. ”

According to the general division of labor of the special column's current tasks, Yang Shushan's work is to organize the soldiers to learn culture; mobilize and organize the people of Linhe Township to actively participate in the anti-Japanese struggle, mobilize young people to join the special column, and form and train children's regiments to stand guard and stand guard; working with the Women's Relief Society to prepare food and other supplies; It is fully responsible for finding, relocating, and treating the soldiers and wounded of the supplementary regiment who were separated during the 'May 1 Sweep,' and to organize the fighters who have recovered from gunshot wounds and knife wounds into special columns; and to teach the fighters the tactical tactics of guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare.

Yang Shushan made a detailed and specific report, and took out the list of food and supplies raised, as well as the list of soldiers who had returned from injury and newly enlisted, and handed them to Fang Jiren for seeing.

After reading the materials, Fang Jiren fully affirmed and praised Yang Shushan's work achievements.

In accordance with the instructions on the tunnel drawings and strict and specific requirements, Meng Dakui is responsible for mobilizing and guiding every household in Linhe Township to dig deep and transform the tunnels in the past. The soldiers of the engineer company were commanded to dig and build strong fortifications that could be attacked and defended around Linhe Township; To the three directions of the county, Lin'an Town and eight villages in the south, northwest, and northwest of the county, a combat group composed of six soldiers was secretly stationed in the homes of several anti-Japanese fortress households, collecting intelligence, waiting for an attack, and giving them the right to deal with and take military action on the spot according to the enemy's situation or battle situation. Responsible for the vigilance and guarding tasks inside and outside Linhe Township; Responsible for the close connection with the gourd valley of Yufeng Mountain; Accepting Francis's order, he led his troops to urgently carry out the important task of special secrecy given to him by Francis.

Zhou Qiwei is responsible for the daily military training of the infantry, cavalry and artillery of the special column; draw up the battle plan for the offensive and defensive of Linhe Township; As an instructor, he taught the soldiers the tactics of offensive and defensive battles, and the tactics of infantry and artillery, infantry and cavalry working together.

Francis also told them about his mission. Responsible for the four-way contact and coordination of the county, Linhe Township, Shuihe Village, and Hulu Valley, forming a joint force and fighting the enemy together; reconnaissance and collection of intelligence on Japanese and pseudo-special products; Choose the opportunity to eradicate the traitor spies; Establish a secret intelligence communication line in and out of the county as soon as possible; Seize the opportunity to outwit or intercept the Japanese army's medicines, weapons, ammunition, and other military supplies. Francis did not reveal his true identity and was on a top-secret mission. In fact, at this time, Fang Jiren didn't know what this major top-secret mission was? He was also anxiously waiting for orders from his superiors. Even if he received a specific order to act from his superiors, he could not tell anyone. There are also some important things that Francis cannot say.

"Yes, yes. You three have worked hard. However, you must also step up your respective work, strengthen your combat readiness, and prepare for war. The current temporary calm in the western Hebei region is strange and abnormal, and may indicate that a violent storm is coming. ”

Meng Dakui, Yang Shushan, and Zhou Qiwei also expressed the same opinion.

"Huh? Commander, master, haven't you noticed that the little devil has not taken any action recently? The Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment attacked Lin'an Town at night, and the little devils suffered great losses, why did they stand still? The little devil has changed? Meng Dakui couldn't figure it out.

"Huh? There really is no action. Wait, let me think about it. It's not that there is no action at all. Not long ago, the Japanese military police and detective team searched all the shops and businesses of the Fang family in and around the county for several days on the pretext of arresting the Communist Eighth Route Army. Could this be related to the Mt. Fuji Project? Francis said.

"Hmph, that's right. The mystery and the secret are here. Commander, let's analyze it like this now. Why did the enemy search your home? It's easy to see why. The Fang family is the richest man in the western Hebei region, and their power and influence actually control the economy of the western Hebei region. If the Japanese army wants to completely stabilize its rule, it must pull out the thorn in the side of the Fang family. The only obstacle for the Japanese army to attack and occupy Yufeng Mountain is the gourd valley controlled by the Fang family, and to pull out the obstacle of the gourd valley, it is necessary to first defeat and control the foundation of the gourd valley, which is the Fang family in the county, and Nakagawa Rongyi regards the entire Fang family as a hostage who can be arrested and disposed of at any time. This is likely to be the first step in the implementation of the Mt. Fuji Plan by the Japanese army. It's insidious, it's vicious. However, it has worked. The second step may be to send heavy troops to attack and suppress the supplementary regiment of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Shuihe Village. Clear the way for the capture of the gourd valley. If I were Eiichi Nakagawa, I would definitely do it. The Japanese army is now holding its ground, just waiting for Nakagawa Eiichi to return before acting. If the Japanese army does not move, it will definitely make a big move in the border areas of Hebei and launch a bloody war and vicious war. Commander Wang, we should contact the Eighth Route Army Supplementary Regiment and Hulugu as soon as possible to explain the situation and make preparations as soon as possible. Zhou Qiwei analyzed.

Zhou Qiwei's analysis and narration was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, deafening, and everyone was shocked.

"Huh?! Will that be the case? Meng Dakui couldn't believe that this could be true.

"Well, the chief of staff is right, and I think that's what happened. I also think that we should be fully prepared for a military counterattack. Yang Shushan said.

"The chief of staff made sense in his analysis, and Commissar Yang's suggestion was timely. So let's do it, without further ado, now I will secretly go to Shuihe Village to find the head of the regiment to report this urgent and important situation, so that they can prepare in advance. Francis said.

Meng Dakui, Yang Shushan, and Zhou Qiwei unanimously agreed. At this moment there was a noisy quarrel in the courtyard. Everyone stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the main room. I saw that Da Lao Hei led more than a dozen soldiers to break into the door of the main house despite the efforts of several guards.

Fang Jiren, who was standing on the steps, looked at the big black man who took the lead with a straight face.

"Get on your knees!" After the big old black shouted, he knelt down on his knees in front of Fang Jiren and the others with more than a dozen fighters. The guards were stunned.
