"The new plan is intended to lure the fish into the bait and cover the chief of staff of the Japanese army stationed in China to personally formulate the plan, which is highly confidential and difficult to obtain." Zhou Lin quickly sent the password.

After Yang Kun signaled that he understood, Zhou Lin went to the private room.

When going to the toilet again, Zhou Lin received Dai Li's instructions: stop moving!

This was the only way Dai Li, after learning about the Japanese conspiracy, to take it.

At this time, the Japanese just want you to move, and the bigger the action, the better.

As long as you move, then you will show your feet.

So the best thing to do is to cover the cat's mouth as well when you see the fish hanging on it.

After returning home, Zhou Lin told the Japanese about fishing.

Xiangjun smiled and said: "When some people fish, the bait is eaten up by the fish, but not a single fish is caught. ”

"If it's a fish down the mountain, then everyone who fishes will suffer."

"That's right! This cunning businessman, only he can fool people, and there are few chances for others to fool him. Xiangjun was funny when he thought of the merchant under the mountain.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Zhou Lin's mind.

"You say, will the Japanese continue with the original plan that leaked secrets?"

Xiangjun said: "No! That's a leak. ”

"You say it's impossible, everybody says it's impossible, but if it were me, I'd make the impossible possible, beyond the expectations of all of you."

Zhou Lin stood up violently: "We can ask the mountain and see where they are now, and we can know." ”

"How do you know the law?" Xiangjun looked at Zhou Lin and said.

"If the plan is revised, then there is no need for the individual troops to continue to concentrate."

"That's right! At the same time as the plan is announced, the troops will be notified to stop to prevent too many deviations from the new plan and affect the deployment of troops. Xiangjun nodded vigorously.

"If the plan is revised, then the 4th Division will not go to Yueyang, because Yueyang itself has a Japanese division." Zhou Lin immediately took out a map.

This is a map of Changsha and its surroundings, on which the route of the Fourth Division is depicted with a red pen.

The picture on it is marked yesterday, and yesterday, the Fourth Division arrived at Fangjiaao, which is nearly 100 kilometers away from Yueyang.

Zhou Lin wrote a telegram draft and compiled it into a cipher.

"Send it to Yamashita." Zhou Lin lit a cigarette and looked at the map.

Xiangjun immediately went to the secret room and sent a telegram to Yayama.

"Your goods should have arrived in Yueyang, have you gone to pick them up?"

Zhou Lin just tried to see how Yamashita answered this question.

If the Fourth Division arrives in Yueyang, Yamashita must be most concerned about the goods, then the return call must have been taken out.

If they had been ordered to abort the original plan, then they would not have arrived in Yueyang.

The telegram was: The goods have not been received.

This is Zhou Lin's way of testing the mountain, and he should be able to try it out.

Ten minutes later, Xiangjun ran down with a telegram.

Zhou Lin took the telegram and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.

"The goods have been taken out, and I will contact the big merchants in Yueyang tomorrow to negotiate."

The telegram under the mountain had already told Zhou Lin that they were still acting as planned.

Zhou Lin immediately disguised himself, drove a speedboat from the wooden house to the telegraph office, and made a call to Yang Kun: "Cousin! It's me. ”

Yang Kun heard Zhou Lin's voice: "Cousin, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhou Lin lit a cigarette: "Do you remember the four bald men who are very good at business?" ”

Yang Kun immediately reacted: "Doesn't he have a contract with you?" ”

"Yes, Si Bald originally planned to go to his hometown, but something happened to his family, and I informed him, but he still went to his hometown, you say it's not angry."

The meaning of Zhou Lin's words was that the Fourth Division had reached Yueyang.

Yang Kun was taken aback: "Why is the four bald men like this, he doesn't go back to his home?" ”

Yang Kun asked: Is the Fourth Division sure it went to Yueyang?

"Yes! I just spoke to him. Zhou Lin said affirmatively.

"And guess why he did it?" Yang Kun no longer doubted.

"I don't know what he thinks, but I heard that he went back to his hometown and it was a little strange, so I called you. It seems that the four bald men are ready to continue the business. ”

Zhou Lin meant to say: I don't know the plan of the Japanese, but the Fourth Division went to Yueyang a little abnormal, and it was not like terminating the original plan.

"Can't you just ask him what he thinks?" Yang Kun asked if he could get a new battle plan for the Japanese.

"I can't ask, but I have a feeling that the four bald men will definitely continue to do that business."

Yang Kun saw that Zhou Lin really had no choice, so he didn't ask for it again.

After putting down the phone, Yang Kun sent a secret message to Dai Li.

"The 4th Division has arrived in Yueyang today, and my cousin said that the Japanese may continue to carry out the original plan."

When the telegram reached the old man's hand, the old man's head shook violently.

"Joke! Launching a campaign with a plan that has already been leaked? Have one's head in the clouds. ”

The old man returned the telegram to Dai Li, who hurriedly took it, lit a fire and burned the newspaper.

Seeing that the old man didn't believe it, Dai Li stopped mentioning the matter.

At the same time, at the Pearl Military Police Headquarters, the chief of staff of the Japanese forces in China reported to the commander on the design of the plan.

"Now, the 11th Army of the Imperial Army has begun to gather combat forces to northern Xiangbei.
