Li Shiqun's sense of smell is good, and his hunch is correct.

In fact, people's uncertainty lies in the alibi of the guard battalion that is always bright.

As early as two days before the operation, Chang Liang discussed it with Zhou Lin.

Chang Liang asked some veterans in the army who were close to him to ask for leave to go back to visit relatives.

Basically, there is one person in each class, and there are ten people in a company who ask for leave.

A battalion has 30 people, a regiment has 90 people, and a division has 300 people.

More than 300 people were put together, and when they were about to arrive in Huzhou, these 300 people gathered and went to Huzhou in unity, where they set up the banner of the Pearl City Defense Army Guard Battalion.

And the real Pearl City Defense Army Guard Battalion, after burning, killing and looting, took the things they robbed, went out of the customs and went straight to Huzhou.

In Huzhou, the guard battalion of the Pearl City Defense Army officially returned to its place, and the replacement of the "guard battalion soldiers" carried out their real vacation life.

Of course, each person received a vacation allowance of five oceans.

As a result, this group of people scattered from Huzhou to various places.

It was this strategy that removed Zhou Lin and Chang Liang from people's list of suspicions.

On August 15, 1942, Zhou Lin was called to Yamada's office.

Yamada announced to Zhou Lin the order of the Japanese base camp.

This order is related to the order that Zhou Lin had received the previous month.

In June 1942, 16 B25 medium bombers of the U.S. Special Flying Squadron led by Dooth took off from the USS Hornet, escorted by Task Force 16, bombed Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe and other places in Japan, and then flew to Quzhou and other airfields in Zhejiang, China.

Some of these planes ran out of fuel and could not land at Quzhou and other airfields, causing the 73rd American colonel to parachute.

With the help of the Chinese soldiers and civilians, most of them escaped from the Japanese-controlled area and received rescue.

However, this sudden bombing caused great shock among the Japanese government and the opposition as well as the army and navy of the mainland, and they doubted the air defense capability of the mainland: The 16 bombers were able to fly around Japan's major cities in broad daylight without fighter escort without a single one of them being shot down, and they began to feel that the mainland was no longer safe.

In order to prevent the Chinese and US air forces from using the airfields in Zhejiang, China to carry out "shuttle bombing" on the Japanese mainland, the Japanese base camp immediately decided to destroy the air bases and advance airfields on China's Zhejiang-Jiangxi line.

"This time I went to Zhejiang, your mission is to go to Quzhou and wake up one of our 'sleepers'." Yamada said to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin was a little strange: "Wake up the sleeper? Still need to go in person? ”

"This person was a secret chess piece planted by my espionage teacher before the Sino-Japanese War. He was the only one who knew that the imperial army had buried this chess piece beside Gu Zhutong. Later, my spy teacher suddenly died of a myocardial infarction, and he didn't have time to explain the incident. It's just that I've heard of such a person. ”

"I don't know anything, so how can I get in touch?" Zhou Lin asked.

"I've been investigating this matter for the past few years, and now I'm targeting three people." Yamada took out three files.

The first person, the adjutant of Gu Zhutong, the commander of the Third Theater of Operations, this person coincided with the time when Gu Zhutong was around, such as the time when Yamada's teacher arranged the chess pieces.

The second person, the Chief of the Operational Planning Division of the Commander's Department of the Third Theater of Operations. This person has also been with Gu Zhutong for six years.

The third person, Gu Zhutong's most distressed sixth aunt's younger brother, the current director of the logistics department of the Third War Zone, and Gu Zhutong's big housekeeper.

Zhou Lin raised his head after he memorized the files of these three people.

"How can I be sure if he's a sleeper?" Zhou Lin asked.

Yamada took out a jade rabbit carved with a jade carving: "This is just the main rabbit, my teacher is obsessed, and there is also a jade rabbit, which is mastered by the other party." At the bottom of the two jade rabbits, there is a very thin character that can only be seen with a magnifying glass. ”

Yamada picked up a magnifying glass and handed it to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin took the magnifying glass and saw a rain word at the bottom of the jade rabbit.

"What's the word on the bottom of his jade rabbit?" Zhou Lin asked.

Yamada pointed to the rain character and said, after the two jade rabbits were closed, it was a snow character.

Zhou Lin understood: "Then how can I connect with him?" ”

Yamada shook his head: "It's up to you to find it, and when you have a goal, I want you to confirm it." ”

Zhou Lin was embarrassed and said: "Looking for a needle in a haystack, can you fish it up?" ”

Yamada said, "You've always been lucky, and you might be able to pick it up." ”

"Do I need to give him a task after contacting him?"

Yamada nodded: "The Imperial Army needs the deployment of troops in the Third War Zone. In particular, the exact information on the Quzhou airport, which was too much of a threat to the imperial army. ”

Zhou Lin immediately stood up: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to complete the task." ”

Yamada asked Zhou Lin to sit down: "If you go to Quzhou this time, you can't pass through the Mingzhu line." It is necessary to go from Xiamen, Fujian to Ningbo, and then from Ningbo to Quzhou. ”

"And what is my identity?" Zhou Lin thought about what kind of identity was suitable this time.

"You're a Zhejiang-based businessman doing business in Hong Kong."

Zhou Lin's eyes widened: "But I can't speak Zhejiang?" ”

Yamada glared at Zhou Lin: "Your ancestral home is in Zhejiang, and as soon as you were born, you were in Hong Kong, so you can't speak Zhejiang." ”

Zhou Lin was embarrassed again: "But I won't say that Hong Kong's 'good base'." ”

Yamada was so angry that his dantian beard straightened: "Then you say that I grew up in the UK and learned English, but I don't understand Hong Kong." ”

Zhou Lin spoke again: "But I can speak Mingzhu." ”

"Don't explain the beads." Yamada couldn't help it and patted the table and said.

"Oh! Then I'll pretend to be dumb and don't speak. Zhou Lin replied honestly.

Yamada stood up, looking like he was looking for something to beat Zhou Lin.

"What if I speak English and others don't? Only learn dumb gestures. Zhou Lin saw that the situation was not right, and immediately explained.

Hearing this, Yamada stopped looking for something: "Then what kind of words will you say besides Mingzhu?" ”

"Beiping dialect! That's what I'm talking about. Zhou Lin said.

Yamada thought for a while: "Then you can say that your hometown is from Beiping, and I went to the United Kingdom when I was a child, and I returned to Hong Kong last year." So I don't know Hong Kong dialect. ”

"In that case, do I still need to go around Ningbo from Fujian?" Zhou Lin asked.

"No, you can go from Xiamen to Quzhou via Wenzhou and then to Quzhou via Jinhua." Yamada said, looking at the map, his finger sliding over it.

"Then what reason did I use to leave Mingzhu this time?" Zhou Lin asked.

"Take the ship to Tianjin, but at night on the sea, we will pick you up on the warship of the imperial army and send you to Xiamen." Yamada planned.

"And who can I take with me?" Zhou Lin thought of the entourage.

"You can take your wife, plum and them with you, and you can also bring an attaché bodyguard. There are ten people in total, because when you evacuate, in order to cover up, you will have to bring a batch of goods from Quzhou to Xiamen. ”
