Chapter 424: Touching the comfort women's secret camp

The Songjiagou comfort women's secret camp in Little Elm Mountain once again welcomed Masao Kojima, the head of the secret service of Wencheng, today. The chief and deputy captains of the Hirai Advance Team, Hirai Nakasa, and Captain Mizukawa, who were responsible for the arrest and management of the comfort women, both waited for the head of Kojima on the platform of the Songjiagou Railway Station in advance.

Of course, Masao Kojima came in a car. The highway that crosses the east and west ends of Little Elm Mountain is parallel to the narrow-gauge branch line of the Tongpu Railway to Songjiagou, and the railway reaches the end of the Songjiagou Railway Station, and the highway continues to stretch forward. As usual, Masao Kojima's car left the road and crossed the railroad tracks and drove directly onto the platform of Songjiagou Station.

The head of the secret service was pleased to see that, as always, there were fixed sentry posts on the platform, both to guard the direction of the opposite road and to guard the special military trains that were parked on the short section of railroad tracks that circled behind the platform. Twenty or thirty meters away from the rear of the military column was the gate of the comfort women's camp.

"The island chief has worked hard all the way, please go to the camp to rest." Hiraiji was saluting respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he was muttering about the intention of the other party's arrival - on weekdays, he was extremely disgusted and jealous of the head of the secret service.

Unexpectedly, Masao Kojima did not directly enter the comfort women's camp as before, but first boarded the military train docked behind the platform to inspect it, and found that the internal maintenance of the military train was good, and he was very relieved - it seems that Hirai Terai, who was born as a quartermaster in the past, is reluctant to be a lieutenant, but he is still very competent in his old job.

"You know what? There is a battle outside the mountain at the moment," bowing down and standing in front of the window of a carriage, looking out at the spring of the mountains and forests, Kojima Masao said: "An infantry wing transferred back from the southwestern front line of the Hagiwara Brigade has begun to sweep the Eighth Route Army in Guanmen Mountain, and will soon attack the Central Army in Great Elm Mountain. ”

Hirai Nakasa and Captain Mizukawa, who were standing side by side behind the head of the secret service, looked at each other after hearing this, but neither of them spoke.

Masao Kojima straightened up from the car window, turned his head to look at the two captains and deputy captains opposite: "These two battles are actually fought for you, a secret camp of comfort women, and the division commander and Major General Hagiwara hope that through these two sweeping battles, the threat of the Shina Army near Little Elm Mountain will be lifted in one fell swoop, so that you can concentrate on capturing and * comfort women." ”

"The infantry wing that was transferred back from the front, so it must be Saijo Daisa's troops?" Captain Mizukawa is different from his civilian boss and captain, he is a grassroots officer who actually comes from the front-line combat unit, so he has a good understanding of the formation sequence of the brigade and regiment.

The head of the secret service nodded, saying that it was the Saijo Wing that the other party was talking about, and this time it was specially to clear the law and order near Little Elm Mountain and returned from the front line, which shows that the division and brigade headquarters attach great importance to the safety of the comfort women's secret camp.

"Chief Xiaojima, you said on the phone that you have invited a professional instructor to our camp, where is the teacher and what do you want to guide us in detail?" It was Teriichi Hirai who asked the question carefully.

Masao Kojima smiled mysteriously and began to walk outside the carriage: "The instructor is still on the way, and he will arrive in Wencheng in the next two days, so I will come over in advance today to arrange it - as for the subjects of guidance, it is to help you take a good ** comfort women!" The officers and men on the Shandong front generally reported that many of the comfort women who were transported out of your country did not know how to be emotional and cooperative, and it was a bit of a bad sight. ”

Captain Mizukawa immediately laughed rudely, while Hirai Terarichi was almost stunned, blushing and stammering, and asked rhetorically: About this...... Are there professional instructors as well?!

"Of course, it's definitely professional," a smile spread on the face of the head of the secret service: "Have you ever heard of the Manchurian Empire's Manchurian Pictures?" The directors of Manchurian Films, actors, artists, etc., who are experts in pornographic films in Manchuria. Wouldn't it be easy for them to come forward* to the comfort women in the secret camps? ”

The situation introduced by Masao Kojima to the captains of the advance team was planned by the North China Front Command in coordination with the Kwantung Army Command not long ago; Now, a group of people sent by Mantie Pictures (officially called: Manchurian Film Association) has arrived in Taiyuan, and will soon leave for Wencheng until they enter the Songjiagou secret camp in Xiaoyushu Mountain.

Next, Masao Kojima left the platform and entered the comfort women's secret camp to begin his rounds, which now contained nine more women who had been secretly captured. Kojima instructed Hirai Teriichi to immediately arrange the accommodation of Mantetsu Yinghua and his party, and carefully do a good job of reception and confidentiality.

"Remember, security and confidentiality come first," and after finally arranging everything related to it, before leaving, the head of the secret service emphasized to the chief and deputy captain of the Hirai Advance Team: "On weekdays, we must continue to strengthen the deployment of posts and patrols around the station, and without the order of me or the brigade commander Major General himself, no officers and soldiers outside the advance team are allowed to enter or even get half a step close to the secret camp, and violators can directly correct the law on the spot!" ”

At present, in addition to the Hirai Advance Team, the Aikawa Infantry Brigade of the Otsuka Wing is also stationed in the Little Elm Mountain, and they are distributed in the east and west passes of the Little Elm Mountain, the periphery of the Songjiagou Station, and along the mountain road. On weekdays, from time to time, people from the Xiangchuan Infantry Brigade passing by would curiously inquire about the heavily guarded Songjiagou Station, not understanding what was placed there.

"Please rest assured, the advance team will do their best to ensure the safety of the secret camp and live up to the trust of General Hagiwara and General Sena!"

On the platform where he saw him off, Hirai Teraiichi made an impassioned tone to the head of the secret service; It wasn't until the other party's black sedan jolted across the railroad tracks onto the road that he breathed a sigh of relief. However, just a few hours later, Hirai Nakasa's secret camp, which he vowed to ensure safety, was forcibly snooped on from the outside.

Zhao Mutou, commander of the special service company of the 391st Regiment, made full preparations for the reconnaissance operation that led the team to infiltrate Xiaoyushu Mountain. He had in hand a topographic map of Little Elm Mountain drawn by the staff officer of the regimental headquarters, although a considerable part of it was speculation, but it also restored the real topography of the mountain as much as possible.

As early as when Yan Xishan was in charge of Shanxi, in order to exploit the Songjiagou coal mine in Xiaoyushu Mountain, a railway track from the Tongpu railway line to Songjiagou was laid along the dirt road in the mountain, and the Songjiagou railway station came into being. At the same time, the dirt road leading to Fengdian County has also been repaired simultaneously. After the Japanese army occupied and blockaded Little Elm Mountain, the dirt road was greatly widened, making it a military artery between Wencheng and Fengdian. What's more, the Songjiagou Railway Station, which is located in the middle, has been transformed into an unspeakable comfort women's secret camp.

Of course, Zhao Mutou, who is the commander of the special service company of the 391st Regiment, did not know about all this. He only learned from Wang Suihua, a female major of the military commander, that the Japanese army was engaged in secret activities in Little Elm Mountain. And this time, he and his brothers will sneak out in order to follow this clue.

Four scout squads, each with six people, including a guide. According to the topographic map and the guide's guidance, they first collectively went out to the south-central part of Little Elm Mountain, where the more than 30-mile-long highway and the Songjiagou Railway Station were located.

In order to prevent them from getting separated in the mountains, Zhao Mutou left a team at a point known to the four guides as a backup point. Then, with the support area as the center, three reconnaissance teams were sent directly ahead, left front, and right front to grope forward. It was also stipulated that the three reconnaissance teams that had come out of the front should return to the support area to assemble regardless of the outcome.

Zhao Mutou's team was the one that ran straight aheadβ€”the topographic map and the guide indicated that the direction was most likely where the Songjiagou Coal Mine was located.

It turned out to be good.

In the past, the Songjiagou Coal Mine was opened under a tall mountain beam, and Zhao Mutou and others touched the back of this mountain beam. After seven o'clock in the evening, they set out to climb over the mountain beam, and after more than an hour, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain beam.

Surprisingly, however, the other side of the tall mountain beam was much steeper than the one they had just climbed, with a slope of nearly sixty degrees, and the descent was mostly bare rocks rather than dense trees on the other side.

But there is also a striking catch: the lights below the mountain beams are clearly visible, and by looking at the lines and contours outlined by those lights, it is easy to tell that below is the abandoned site of the Songjiagou coal mine, where a large camp surrounded by barbed wire sits, in front of the camp is undoubtedly a railway station with an open-air platform, and the railroad tracks and roads in front of it are faintly visible.

The Spy Company Commander became agitated, holding a telescope and searching for the targets below the ridge, trying to discern the nature of the large camp. However, in the thick of the night, his telescope was too limited, and he could barely see where the lights were relatively bright and concentrated, and even then it was difficult to determine the exact content of the target.

"Can you find a way down here?"

In a hurry, Zhao Mutou asked the guide beside him. The guide immediately shook his head in denial, saying that the mountain was too steep and there were not many trees to climb, and that a single stumble would fall straight to the bottom of the mountain and fall to pieces.

Zhao Mutou was a little desperate for a moment, he had already known that this side of the mountain beam where the Songjiagou Coal Mine was located was so steep that it was impossible to climb down, so it was really better to risk climbing up in the daytime - that way, at least he could see the camp and the railway station below the mountain beam through binoculars!

"Company commander, it's so high and steep here, you can't go down, if you touch it on both sides, maybe you can find a lower gap!" A soldier from a special service company next to him suggested.

"Can you?" Zhao Mutou immediately asked the guide, and the result was a positive answer - during the day, it seemed that one left and one right of this mountain beam were sinking, and it was obvious that there would be a gap in the low place that could be passed. Perhaps, the other two reconnaissance teams have already found the location of the gap!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a thrilling gunfire rang out between the silent mountain peaks, and listening to the sound, it was undoubtedly the result of the Japanese Sanba Dagai.

Zhao Mutou couldn't help but stumble and scolded:

"Grandma's, something happened to our people!"
