The couple of agents of the second intelligence group took a car belonging to Shanxi Station to Fengdian, and in order not to attract attention, the driver parked the car on the side of the highway about three miles away from Fengdian County and waited for them. This area was previously at the forefront of the confrontation between the two armies, so although the Japanese army had just occupied Fengdian, the road from Junling to Fengdian was still not accessible to long-distance passenger buses.

In Fengdian, Fang Moshu, the husband of the couple's agents, photographed evidence of the Otsuka United's massacre of the city, and felt that although it was not the purpose of the trip, it was still important and should be reported to the station as soon as possible; After wandering around this county for a day, there was really nothing to be wary of, so he and his wife Zhou Yi immediately returned to their lives.

They returned to Taiyuan before Li Yan. Wang Suihua analyzed the information brought back by the two, and felt that it was indeed lackluster, only the number of the national army defending the city was still meaningful, according to what Fang Zhou and his wife heard from the people, it was the 391st Regiment of the Central Army that defended the city, and it was unknown after the defeat; Another garrison of the city was the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army, which escaped in battle. As for the evidence of the massacre of the Otsuka United, Wang Suihua felt that it did not have any military value, so he reported it to the Shanxi Station according to the usual practice.

The vain return of the couple's agents made the female major of the military commander have to bet their hopes on Li Yan.

Li Yan also found nothing in Junling and Wencheng, but on the way back from Wencheng, he witnessed the movement of two Japanese troops along the Tongpu Road, and it was finally worth the trip.

Li Yan took a rented car and turned back from Wencheng to Junling. In Wencheng, he bought a package of local snacks for his female boss Wang Suihua: it was cut open with huge dried red dates, removed the jujube core, sandwiched into walnut kernels, and then wrapped in red dates and walnut kernels with syrup boiled in rock sugar. This flavored snack, called "Ice Jujube Peach Kernel", is a household name in Wencheng and is a favorite food for adults and children after the winter season.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Li Yan thought: If she didn't find any valuable clues on this trip, the female major might be disappointed or even annoyed, but with this pack of ice dates and peach kernels, she could at least soothe the other party's emotions.

Just when the lieutenant of the military commander was watching the white and red ice dates and peaches and playing with the white and red female boss's appearance, on the railway line next to the highway, there was a sudden sound of a whistle and the roar of wheels and rails, and a small train was coming from far and near, opposite to each other.

Li Yan was taken aback, hurriedly rolled open the window of the car on the left, and stared at the small train with wide eyes in the cold wind. You must know that at present, Tongpu Road is only open to Junling from north to south, and he took the small train from Taiyuan to Junling when he set off from Taiyuan, and the train from Junling to Wencheng will not pass. But at this moment, he had just come out of Wencheng less than ten miles away, and a train was sent from the opposite side! What's going on?

He hurriedly ordered the driver of the sedan to stop, and he simply jumped out of the car, standing on the edge of the railway line, watching the little train drive in front of him and then go away, this time, he understood.

This train carried a total of 11 carriages, and through the steaming window, the lieutenant of the military commander saw that the carriage was full of Japanese soldiers!

This was undoubtedly a troop carrier for the Japanese army in the north, and now that Bunjo was occupied by the Otsuka Wing of the Sena Division, the Japanese army in the north could take the train south in a grand manner.

After many years of errand work in the Tongpu Railway Construction Bureau under Yan Xishan's rule, Li Yan naturally knew everything about the trains running on Tongpu Road, which belonged to the German narrow gauge, so the narrow gauge train running on it was a small locomotive with a small carriage in front of it, each carriage has more than 60 seats, if it is crowded with nearly 100 people, 11 carriages are carrying about 1,000 people.

Then the one that just drove past should be a brigade-sized devil army.

Li Yan continued to Junling by car, and when he arrived at Junling Railway Station, he found that another small train with ten carriages was stopping to fill water, and there were Japanese soldiers on the platform with loaded guns and ammunition, prohibiting passengers from approaching; But Li Yan saw it more realistically this time, it was also a train full of Japanese officers and soldiers.

Li Yan found the signal attendant and the turnout worker at the station, and learned from them that this train was sent from the direction of Taigu, and one train had already been sent away (that was the one that met Li Yan on the road), and two more trains would be sent in the afternoon, so as to drive south to the next station on Tongpu Road: Wencheng.

Li Yan originally wanted to take the train from Junling to Taiyuan, but the station informed him that the train had been occupied by the military and was temporarily suspended. The lieutenant of the military commander thought for a while that it was the Japanese troops going south who were requisitioning the train, but when he was about to leave the station, he unexpectedly found that the requisitioned train had entered the platform, and it was actually the northbound platform. Li Yan was stunned, what did the Japanese army mean by requisitioning the train in the northbound direction? He found the station staff again and inquired that the train was actually bound for Taiyuan.

This time, Li Yan simply squatted down in a corner of the platform, he wanted to figure out who the Japanese army was going to carry on the train to Taiyuan. Finally, when he arrived, about four or five hundred Japanese soldiers came to the station and boarded the train, and Li Yan found that this was still the team of the Sena Division by observing their military coats up close.

Li Yan silently wrote down the departure station, arrival time, number of carriages, Japanese army number, and so on. He thought that the Japanese might have to make a big move on the Tongpu Road; This may be related to the trip to Taiyuan, a lieutenant general from Japan, mentioned by the major leader.

Wang Suihua's hopes for Li Yan were indeed not disappointed. When she carefully reviewed the information on the abnormal movements of the Japanese army on Tongpu Road brought back by Li Yan, she couldn't help but meow at this subordinate: This guy is really a lucky general!

In fact, this information does not conform to the train of thought of the female major of the military command at the moment, because they seem to be out of line with the Japanese lieutenant general who mysteriously visited. However, the Shanxi station, which included the northwest region of the military command, was in dire need of information on the movements of the Japanese Sena Division, because there were various indications that the division was about to launch a large-scale offensive against the southwest and south of Jin.

After Wang Suihua reported Li Yan's information, he quickly got a reply from Shangfeng, and based on the information from other channels before, as well as the new information just reported by the second intelligence group, Shanxi Station can already confirm that the Saijo Wing of the Hagiwara Brigade of the Sena Division of the Japanese Army has just sailed from Taigu to Junling, and in addition to troop carriers, there are also trains that carry heavy weapons and baggage. At the same time, the remaining troops of the Otsuka Wing stationed in Junling (about two squadrons in size) traveled north by train to reach the outside of Taiyuan City, and the task was unknown; At the same time as the Japanese army, it was dispatched from Junling, went north to Taiyuan, and joined forces outside the city, as well as a cavalry regiment of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army, which marched along the road from Junling to Taiyuan. At present, Taigu and Junling are being fully replaced by another division of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi: the Shangang Division.

The military commander of the Northwest Region and the Shanxi Station praised Wang Suihua's second intelligence group and asked them to continue to track and keep an eye on the movements of the Sena Division, including the first Sena Division that had been reversed from Junling to Taiyuan and the mission purpose of the Mongolian Frontier Army.

Wang Suihua arranged a family-style dinner for the members of the second intelligence team, which was the home of the couple's agents. First, to celebrate the rewards of the Northwest District and Shanxi Station for this group, and second, to summarize and deploy the next work.

The dinner is Western-style.

Fang Moshu, the husband of the couple's agent, is a typical Westerner, who wears a suit and leather shoes, a top hat and a cane when he is an editor in a newspaper, and his wife Zhou Yi marries a chicken and a dog and a dog, so she is naturally accustomed to Westernization; Although Li Yan did not experience Western studies, he worked as an apprentice for German engineers in the Tongpu Road Construction Bureau, so the Germans were not less impressed. As for the team leader Wang Suihua, he was born in the Oriental Paris and Shanghai, and the training he received in the Qingpu class of the military commander was even more varied and varied. The only "earth leopard" in the second intelligence group is the youngest student soldier in the group, who is only responsible for transmitting information on weekdays.

So far, the strength of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command is still weak, and Wang Suihua's second intelligence group is the temporary increase in the establishment of the Shanxi Station before the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Shanxi, considering that once the Sanjin Dynasty is fully launched, the intelligence force must be strengthened. In the five-person group, three of the members were recruited by the military commander halfway through the family, and only two women had received comprehensive formal training from the military commander: Wang Suihua and Zhou Yi.

This night, at Fang Moshu and Zhou Yi's house, a simple Western meal was set up, which was cooked by Zhou Yi himself, and the main dish was a pot of stewed chicken and a steak; Li Yan dug out a box of coffee beans dropped by a German railway engineer from her home, and Wang Suihua brought a bottle of fine French red wine from her own inventory—she used her cover to rent a house near Shuiximen in Taiyuan to open a trading company to store those luxury goods that had been brought in from the Pingjin area. That is actually the public welfare of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command.

The dish is not sumptuous, but under the backdrop of the knife and fork of the dinner plate, it still looks quite authentic; The mellow red wine in the goblet made the people at the table blush, which was very warm. At this time, even if a Japanese soldier or spy suddenly broke in, they would never have thought that the five men and women sitting around here would actually be their sworn enemy, the Blue Coat Society, the military commander agents.

With the dishes and red wine, Wang Suihua and the team members analyzed the information at hand. In view of the fact that Japan recalled its ambassador to China from China late last month, the Military Command Headquarters has already determined that the Japanese army invading China will conduct larger-scale operations in the southern and northern theaters. Therefore, the high-ranking officials of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters who flew from Tokyo at the beginning of this month were recently unanimously determined by the North China Region and the Northwest Region that it was related to the fact that the Japanese North China Front was about to move south to Xuzhou to fight.

At this moment, Wang Suihua was in front of his subordinates, and he did not hide his doubts about the intelligence research and judgment made by the North China Region and the Northwest Region.

The female major of the military commander insisted that the high-ranking Japanese military officer who mysteriously visited Taiyuan may have nothing to do with this large-scale military operation, and this general from Tokyo may have another important mission - and the second intelligence team will completely find out the truth!
