When leaving Tianzhu Mountain, Zhou Lin received a telegram from Ye Jun, informing them that they had arrived in Macheng and would immediately march towards Henan, and Henan would be met by the Eighth Route Army.

Zhou Lin was relieved and took nearly 100 people to board a troop transport ship and head towards Mingzhu.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Zhou Lin landed at the pier and returned home.

Chang Liang brought a large group of people who had been promoted to Zhou Lin's house to thank him.

Zhou Lin received tens of thousands of oceans of thanks, which made him smile.

Chang Liang sat for a while, then led the people away, and he had to go back to expand the army.

And Zhou Lin didn't sit at home for half an hour before he was called by Yamada.

Seeing Zhou Lin, Yamada smiled: "How does it feel to escape from death?" ”

Zhou Lin: "It's not Li Zi who is running on my back, just my speed, I will definitely be caught." ”

Yamada replied, "The order they received was to kill and leave no one alive. ”

Zhou Lin scolded: "My Wang Jingwei, his heart is really poisonous. ”

"Wang Jingwei suffered a loss this time, the two divisions are gone, it's okay to be bright." Yamada smiled.

Zhou Lin grinned: "Also, the weapons and ammunition of the two divisions are at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that old boy must be distressed to death." ”

"What do you say? After hearing that after receiving the news, Wang Jingwei was admitted to the hospital. ”

Kobayashi gloated and laughed.

"It would be nice if it was dead! Audacious and vicious, he killed me so openly. Zhou Lin said indignantly.

Yamada changed the subject: "What about your belongings, they haven't been lost, have they?" ”

Zhou Lin immediately replied: "I will give all the people one point for the rest, that is, three small boxes, worth 50,000 oceans of small yellow croaker." It is in the custody of Xiangjun. That day, I only cared about running for my life and didn't pay attention to the gold, but Xiangjun ran to the mountain with the box in her arms, only to find that she had brought the box with the gold. ”

Yamada smiled and pointed at Zhou Lin with his hand: "You also have a time when you don't want to die." ”

Xiao Lin imagined Zhou Lin scurrying around on Tianzhu Mountain, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's a pity, just got on with the American colonel, and he can brag to me. But let the turtle sons get it, and all the input was thrown into the water. Zhou Lin sighed.

Yamada comforted: "We all know this matter, and you also did your best." After all, you also have merit in saving the port of Tokyo. ”

"The Americans didn't attack?" Zhou Lin immediately asked.

"Having received the notice, Tokyo was heavily defended, and the Americans did not find an opportunity. So they went and attacked the port of Sendai. Yamada said.

"It's still an attack!" Zhou Lin looked hateful.

"Sendai's loss is not big, and if the port of Tokyo is attacked, the loss will be dozens of times that of Sendai, so the base camp praised you."

Zhou Lin waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about." ”

Yamada looked at Zhou Lin: "This time you are back, and you are in charge of running a business in Mingzhu." ”

Zhou Lin stood up: "Please ask the head of the organ to order, I will definitely do it." ”

Yamada didn't talk about the mission first, but told Zhou Lin a story.

In August 1941, Okamura Ninji, commander of the Japanese North China Front, mobilized 100,000 Japanese puppet troops to launch the "Cage Offensive", preparing to gather and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army and the head of the base area, but failed repeatedly.

Okamura Ninji attached great importance to the espionage work and ordered the Japanese puppet spies in Beiping to go out.

It didn't take long for the Japanese puppet spies to find a suitable target in Bicheng County.

An elderly man in the local area often received letters from his son, who was a staff officer at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and every time the troops were transferred, the son would write a letter home.

The Japanese puppet spies lured the postman at the post office with a large amount of money and asked him to copy down the postmark address of the stamp on each letter.

Through analysis, the Japanese army mastered the transfer route and law of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and more accurately predicted the next transfer location.

In May 1942, more than 10,000 puppet troops suddenly surrounded the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the temporary temporary residence of the Northern Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China according to stamp espionage and radiolocation.

Although the headquarters organs and most of the leaders of the Eighth Route Army finally escaped after many setbacks, Zuo Quan, deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, died in the attack.

This was the greatest loss suffered by the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War in the past few years.

"Could it be that the director is going to use stamps for another spy war?" Zhou Lin asked.

"Hmmm! We have been looking for the pattern of the activities of the leaders of the New Fourth Army. Yamada said.

"Don't we have agents inside the New Fourth Army?" Zhou Lin said casually.

"They did not come into contact with the upper echelons of the New Fourth Army, but only operated in the command below. However, our agents sent back a message. Yamada paused to take a sip of tea.

Zhou Lin and Xiao Lin both looked at Yamada, waiting for Yamada to continue.

"Hold Cha, a personal guard next to the head of the New Fourth Army, is a Shuzhu man, he has an older brother and parents who are now Mingzhu." Yamada spoke up.

"The Imperial Army captured his parents and brother?" Zhou Lin analyzed.

"That's how you kill chickens and get eggs, what we want is to put a long line to catch big fish." Yamada pointed to the tea pot and asked Zhou Lin to make tea.

Zhou Lin got up to make tea, while Xiao Lin continued to ask.

"The head of the agency wants to learn from General Okamura Ninji and attack the headquarters of the New Fourth Army again."

Kobayashi: "I'm afraid that the New Fourth Army has learned its lesson and will not make any more mistakes." ”

Yamada took a sip of tea: "Yan'an has issued a notice asking all troops to strengthen mail management. So now it's hard to find their whereabouts. ”

"Unless they don't write letters anymore, as long as they write and send letters, they will leave a postmark and you can see where they are going." Kobayashi does not believe in evil.

Yamada brought a letter and put it on the coffee table: "Can you know where this letter came from?" ”

Xiao Lin took the letter and looked at it: "There is a postmark on it: from Changshu." ”

Yamada looked at Kobayashi: "Will the headquarters of the New Fourth Army be in Changshu?" ”

"How so? The imperial army killed them in a matter of minutes. Kobayashi said.

"This letter was sent home by the guards of the head of the New Fourth Army." Yamada said, pointing to the letter.

When Zhou Lin heard this, he immediately spoke: "I know!" They sent the letter to Changshu and then sent it in Changshu. So the postmark is Changshu. ”

Yamada put down the teacup: "We think the same way, and they send more than one point." Today it is Changshu, and tomorrow it may also be Taicang. ”

"If that's the case, then it's going to be very difficult for us to find out where they're going."

Xiao Lin thought about it, but he couldn't think of a good way.

Yamada looked at Zhou Lin: "Do you think there is a way to do this?" ”

"Everything is flawed, it's just cleverly disguised." Zhou Lin lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke.

Xiao Lin touched Zhou Lin: "Don't pretend to be deep there, say it quickly." ”

"To find that flaw, you have to find a problem."

"What's the problem?" Xiao Lin stared at Zhou Lin and asked.

"How did the letter get to Changshu? How do you get into Changshu Post Office? Zhou Lin had to say it, who knows if Yamada is testing again?

"Yes! How did so many letters get into Changshu Post Office? ”
