Despite the cover of night, Li Yan, an agent of the military command, was very careful to avoid all the streets he could, trying to walk through the alleys without street lights and riding towards the No. 1 courtyard of Yangliu Lane in the north of the city.

It's too dangerous!

While groping forward, Li Yan was afraid from time to time - just now the Japanese detective team was almost about to lock itself, and the scene of Meng Longsheng carrying Mauser * at the entrance of the lobby of Baoyuan Restaurant should have come for him!

Fortunately, I had an extra eye from the beginning, and after a short detour, I leaned my bicycle on an inconspicuous place in the back alley of the restaurant; If the German-made bicycle under the crotch was parked at the main entrance in order to save trouble, the detective team agents would undoubtedly completely surround the entire restaurant. And he was carrying a weapon that was also a Mauser*, as well as a military dagger that had slashed the traitor of the detective team, and if he was searched, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Of course, thanks to the white shopkeeper of Baoyuan Restaurant. Since the last time he drank and confronted him face-to-face, this eight-sided and exquisite Bai Baoyuan should have guessed the identity of himself and Wang Suihua and others. And tonight, the white shopkeeper's performance can be called friendly, and he does not hesitate to risk his life to remind himself that the detective team agents are hunting the target.

After being afraid, the military commander began to reflect on where he had been exposed—just now he rode his bicycle past the Hagiwara Brigade Headquarters at the entrance of Dongguan Avenue and the Japanese-style Kansai restaurant on City Hall Road.

It seems that he didn't stay in the above two places for a long time tonight, and finally saved his life - it's not difficult to imagine that if it weren't for the fact that after leaving the Kansai restaurant, his stomach began to rumble with hunger, and then he accelerated his ride to Baoyuan Restaurant, and the Japanese pseudo-spies would most likely take down themselves on the streets!

This further confirms the wisdom and foresight of the female major of the military commander: after the assassination in Luoguxiang, the rare bicycle and its owner in Wencheng have become the target of the Japanese puppet spies.

With mixed feelings, Li Yan finally returned to No. 1 Courtyard of Yangliu Lane after twists and turns. The first thing he did when he entered the courtyard gate was to push his bicycle into the small side building where the sundries were stored, and found a relatively shabby sheet to cover it.

The soldiers of the special service company he sent out during the day have returned at this moment, bringing the latest movements of the two Japanese barracks in the eastern and southern suburbs of Wencheng:

- The eastern suburbs barracks is the station of the Nara Infantry Brigade of the Otsuka Wing, and after observing from the outside, it can be seen that the barracks are extremely empty, and the main force of the troops is obviously not there;

——The southern suburbs barracks belongs to a small barracks that has just been completed in the previous stage, with only one or two hundred devils by sight, and it is estimated that an infantry squadron is stationed. At present, there are still a large number of Japanese soldiers in the camp, and it can be inferred that the troops of the barracks did not participate in the encirclement and suppression of Guanmen Mountain, Great Elm Mountain, and other places.

Subsequently, Liu, the elder of the radio station who had been staying in the courtyard of the house, also reported to Li Yan: Not long after he rode out, two soldiers of the special service company lurking in the freight yard of the railway station, one of them, came to report: The main force of the Japanese Saijo Wing barracks near the railway station in the western suburbs of Wencheng has not returned since they left; There were only a small number of people left behind in the barracks, as well as the sick and wounded. However, in the past few days, there have been two military trains from Taiyuan that continue to unload heavy weapons and ammunition to the barracks.

Back in his room with the female major of the military commander, Li Yan made a pot of tea and began to slowly sort out the information that had been collected.

There are all kinds of indications that the Japanese troops who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Hagiwara Brigade at Guanmen Mountain and Great Elm Mountain are not in a hurry to shrink their forces—at least the men and horses of no less than three infantry brigades dispatched from Wencheng have not yet shown signs of withdrawing.

This may show that the telegram of the stationmaster of Shanxi Station mentioned that the Japanese First Army is launching an operation to encircle the Taihang Mountain in central and southern Shanxi Province on all sides, and has a relatively meticulous military deployment; The various divisions of the First Army of the Kazuki Kiyoji Army drawn from the Four Masters Regiment to participate in the war have also aligned their main attack goals, and if they do not achieve certain tactical goals, they will not withdraw their troops lightly.

From this point of view, both the Xu Brigade Detachment of the Eighth Route Army at the foot of Guanmen Mountain and the 391st Regiment of the Central Army in the mountains of Da Yushu Mountain will continue to bear considerable defensive pressure. Even the worst plan for the Japanese army to attack the mountains and carry out the attack!

And this is definitely not a good sign for the female major of the military commander who is sitting in the Great Elm Mountain.

Thinking of Wang Suihua, Li Yan's eyes involuntarily fell on the small kang in the room - of course, it was the place where the beautiful female boss went to bed at night, but since she took Zhao Mutou to leave the No. 1 courtyard of Yangliu Lane and go to Big Elm Mountain, Li Yan no longer set up a temporary paving board every night, but slept on the small kang with peace of mind and deservedly, and used the bedding of the female major of the military commander with malicious intentions.

At this moment, thinking of Wang Suihua living in the simple and vulgar house of the 391st Regiment Headquarters, Li Yan sincerely felt a little distressed. He knows his female boss very well, although this ruthless and indifferent major leader does not pursue a luxurious life, but whether in Taiyuan or Wencheng, Wang Suihua's public identity is the manager of Fuhua Trading Company, and he is mainly engaged in imported luxury goods, such as tobacco, alcohol, sugar tea, cosmetics, clothing and jewelry, etc., and it is inevitable that he has become accustomed to enjoying these resources at his disposal. Now that he has been drilled into the deep ravine, even if he is not coarse under the hospitality of Colonel Qin of the Central Army, it is really a luxury to enjoy those exquisite luxuries.

"Well, though, it's good to let your ruthless woman suffer a little," the military commander agent stretched out his index finger and lit a small kang a few meters away, and whispered to himself, "Save yourself how you forgot how you left me alone in the first place to eat chaff in that broken compound on the northern outskirts of Wencheng - just to spy on a Japanese Rausch train!" ”

There seemed to be a hallucination in front of his eyes, as if the beautiful female boss was lying on the small kang head wrapped in a quilt at the moment, looking at him. So he simply left the table of the Eight Immortals and lay on the futon that had been placed.

Recently, because Wang Suihua relied heavily on the special agent company commander Zhao Mutou and his soldiers in several operations, his attitude towards Li Yan inevitably underestimated a little, which made the male lieutenant of the military commander more and more unhappy, so he did not hesitate to blacken his face and distance himself from his female boss. However, after these days without Wang Suihua, Li Yan suddenly realized that he was actually inseparable from this female boss who people loved and hated. In just a few days, he had already thrown away all the grievances he had accumulated against Wang Suihua for several days.

"Let's end the siege of the Japanese quickly, Colonel Qin's heavy artillery hurry up and fire fiercely at Little Elm Mountain, and let that Songjiagou who doesn't know what damn secret he is hiding will be wiped out! - I just want you to come back quickly......" The male lieutenant buried his face in the fragrant quilt and continued to mumble to himself, and finally fell asleep with his clothes.

What suddenly woke Li Yan from the gentle countryside he had created was a series of low but rapid knocks on the door.

A soldier of the special service company lurking in the north freight yard of the Wencheng Railway Station came to the No. 1 courtyard of Yangliu Lane at night to report the emergency situation that had just appeared: a sudden exchange of fire broke out in the shantytown north of the railway station square, attracting a large number of Japanese puppet spies; In order to rescue the anti-Japanese comrades, two soldiers of the special service company were forced to take action, and one of them was unfortunately wounded and captured!

Li Yan almost dropped his jaw in shock - anti-Japanese comrade? Where did the anti-Japanese comrades come out? What is the specific identity background? Where was Sanxi (i.e., the captured spy company soldier) caught?

The soldier of the spy company who rushed to report the news was surnamed Shen, with the rank of sergeant squad leader, good at fighting and stabbing, and his marksmanship was also very good. However, the Shen squad leader who was now standing in front of Li Yan was already trembling from time to time due to nervousness, excitement, and fatigue. It wasn't until the military commander agent took the warm Longjing tea and forced the other party to drink two cups in a row that he gradually calmed down and began to speak rationally.

About an hour ago, in the shantytown where Squad Leader Shen and Sanxi were renting, a clear gunshot suddenly sounded, and they immediately heard someone shouting wildly in the distance, and the sound appeared and disappeared. Then another gunshot rang out. Since the shantytown was adjacent to the square in front of the railway station, it didn't take long for a small number of Japanese soldiers and Japanese pseudo-plainclothes spies who were guarding the neighborhood to search and inspect the shantytown.

Then, the gunfire resounded, and became more and more frequent, and it became clear that it had evolved into an act of opposing fire. In view of the fact that there were still other comrades lurking in the city, the two squad leaders decided to go out of the house with guns to reconnoiter in order to help.

They groped their way through the sound of gunfire, only to see a group of Japanese soldiers chasing a small group of firefighters up close. So he opened fire decisively from the flank and attacked the Japanese soldiers, and the small group escaped in response to it.

Unexpectedly, then the two accidentally encountered a seriously injured person who was shot, a burly middle-aged man, and the other party obviously regarded the two Shen squad leaders who were holding Mauser * as Japanese pseudo-plainclothes spies, and shouted to them when they were dying: Anti-Japanese elements, Cheng Ruixiang Xiao's shopkeeper is an anti-Japanese element!

At this moment, a group of Japanese pseudo-plainclothes spies suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, and in the indiscriminate shooting, Sanxi was shot and fell to the ground, and the squad leader Shen, who barely escaped, witnessed the scene of the group of plainclothes spies rushing up and catching them. Seeing that he was unable to rescue himself alone, he had to escape desperately, and sneaked all the way to No. 1 Courtyard of Yangliu Lane to report the news.

"Are you sure you're not being followed along the way?" After listening to Shen's account of squad leader, Li Yan asked a question.

"Lieutenant Li, don't worry, I'm absolutely sure of this," Squad Leader Shen said: "It's just that Sanxi was indeed captured alive, what can I do?" ”

Since Zhao Mutou joined the second intelligence group of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command with five soldiers of the special service company of the 391st Regiment, the team leader, Major Wang Suihua, has given everyone a short training, one of which is that he must not be captured alive by the enemy no matter what, and resolutely commit suicide if necessary.

But now, an unexpected dangerous situation has emerged! Moreover, squad leader Shen and Sanxi risked their lives to rescue them, and they were not colleagues from the second intelligence group of Shanxi Station!

Cheng Ruixiang? Shopkeeper Xiao? Anti-Japanese elements? - Li Yan, an agent of the military command, nervously pondered the pronunciation of these key words spoken by the dying burly man. Suddenly, his heart jumped suddenly: Cheng Ruixiang, these three words are somewhat familiar, it seems that he has seen and heard them somewhere!
