Xia Lianshan originally planned to take a soldier to wait outside Fengdian City and continue to inquire about the news. The county seat was occupied by the Japanese army, and he became more and more worried about the safety of his sister's family. However, in the evening, the two soldiers he sent back first rode horses to convey the battalion headquarters' order: immediately withdraw to the camp on Guanmen Mountain, and the whole battalion had already moved towards Hekou Village and Guanmen Mountain.

The military order did not dare to disobey, and the deputy company commander of the 5th Company had to endure the pain and set off: God, bless my sister's family to avoid the disaster! In fact, after Xia Lianshan left with the reconnaissance team, it took another three days for the closed city gate to open. Of course, he wouldn't know that a spy company commander of the 391st Regiment of the Central Army was also worried about the safety of his sister Xia Baihe's family.

Compared with Xia Lianshan, Zhao Mutou's luck was much better, he not only infiltrated the county seat on the day Fengdian resumed opening of the city, but also found his sweetheart at the first time: Xia Lianshan's sister's personal maid Sun Nier.

After waking up, Sun Nier cried mournfully, and at the same time told the wooden brother who seemed to fall from the sky about the tragic end of this family. The hot-tempered spy company commander's eyes almost burst blood, he not only felt sorry for what happened to Sun Nier's master and servant, but also bitterly blamed his team for being expelled from the county town by the devils and ruining their lives.

However, Zhao Mutou still remembered his mission after all, he called a subordinate to be on duty in Xia Lily's house, and he and two other soldiers of the special service company slipped out into the street to carefully probe the strength and defense of the Japanese army in the city.

At this time, Kosuke Otsuka, who occupied Wencheng, had ordered all the men and horses of the Futian Brigade to return to Fengdian, and in the future, the Futian Brigade and the cavalry regiment of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army that was about to be transferred from Junling would garrison this county seat. Therefore, what Zhao Mutou and they saw now was actually a whole brigade of Japanese troops occupying Fengdian.

Captain Fukudaoka placed the first squadron at the east gate and the east city wall, in order to focus on guarding against the Central Army that fled into the Great Elm Mountain from this direction; The three squads of the 2nd Squadron were stationed at the three gates of the south, south and west; The 3rd Squadron was responsible for patrolling and setting up posts in the city; He personally led the Fourth Squadron and sat in the county government.

In two days, Zhao Mutou understood these deployments of the Japanese army.

The commander of the spy company was ready to bring the reconnaissance information back to the troops, but the placement of Sun Nier put him in a dilemma. Fengdian City under the iron hooves of the devil, no matter what, he can't stay any longer, his original intention is to take his sweetheart back to Big Elm Mountain, where in addition to the garrison of the 391st Regiment, there are also ordinary people, you can find a more solid family for Sun Nier to live temporarily; But the faithful maid of this big family insisted on going back to the old house of the Xia family in Pingquan County, southern Jinnan, to inform the old lady Xia of the bad news of Xia Lily and his wife.

Helpless, Zhao Mutou had to agree. is in military affairs, and obviously can't accompany Sun Nier to Jinnan together, but when the war is in chaos, she walks a hundred miles by herself, and Zhao Mutou doesn't feel at ease at all. He gritted his teeth and decided to send a subordinate to escort him, and as for the regiment commander, he would cut it first and then play, and it would be a big deal to be scolded.

When Zhao Mutou and his entourage left Fengdian, the husband and wife agents of the second intelligence group of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command were still patrolling Fengdian.

Wang Suihua, the leader of the second intelligence group, gave them the task of finding out the strength of the Japanese troops who captured Fengdian, as well as their motives for occupying Fengdian and their movements after the occupation, and piggybacking on the whereabouts of the national troops guarding Yufengdian.

Wang Suihua relied on experience and intuition to send this person to Fengdian. The Northwest Region and Shanxi Station of the Military Command asked her to go all out to investigate the high-ranking Japanese military official who had mysteriously visited Taiyuan after flying from Tokyo to Beiping, and to investigate the specific mission of this high-ranking official to Taiyuan. However, I have to admit that the Japanese have done a very good job of secrecy this time, and the military command of the North China Region and the Beiping Station only knew that a lieutenant general flew from the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, and the rest had to rely on the Shanxi Station to spy on them. And what the head of Shanxi Station can tell Wang Suihua is the time when the Japanese lieutenant general arrived and left the headquarters of the Taiyuan Sena Division.

Subsequently, the news that the Sena Division dispatched the Otsuka Wing stationed in Junling to attack Occupy Fengdian and Wencheng was learned by Wang Suihua through her own channels, and the sixth sense of the female major of the military commander flickered faintly here, and it was this faint flicker that made Wang Suihua feel that the visit of the mysterious lieutenant general of the Japanese army to the Sena Division may have some connection with the sudden attack of the Otsuka Wing.

The husband and wife agents of the second intelligence group originally worked in a newspaper in Taiyuan, the female was a proofreader, and she was an agent who had been placed there there very early, and the male was the backbone editor of the newspaper, and his anti-Japanese tendencies were distinct. The two fell in love with each other at work for a long time and got married; After that, the woman revealed her true identity to her husband at the station, and with the help of the Shanxi station, she recruited her husband to join the military command. After the Japanese occupied Taiyuan, the newspaper was forced to close, and the two were transferred to the second intelligence group of Shanxi Station and became husband and wife agents in the group.

Perhaps, it was the professional sensitivity of the journalistic work that led them to collect a lot of evidence of the Japanese army's massacre of the city during the secret investigation in Fengdian, including the location of the cremation and burial outside the city that they learned from the mouths of the people. The couple found the newly dug pit, marked it, and the husband took a picture with the camera he had brought with him.

However, despite their repeated efforts, they did not listen to or observe the motives of the Japanese army to occupy Fengdian. In addition to the massacre of the city, all the actions of this Japanese army in the county can only be said to be a regular and ordinary garrison.

The husband and wife had no choice but to return.

Also returned in vain, as well as Li Yan, who is also an agent of the second intelligence group.

Li Yan took the small train from Taiyuan to Junling, which is also the farthest station to the south of Tongpu Road at present; In Junling, he quietly visited the headquarters of the Otsuka Wing, where only the deputy commander and a few Japanese troops were stationed there. Subsequently, he rented a car and drove to Wencheng.

Junling and Wencheng are both on the Tongpu railway line, but after the Japanese army occupied Junling last year, the section of Tongpu Road in northern and central Jin was basically still open to traffic, while the section south of Junling was closed. Li Yan drove along the highway from Junling to Wencheng, which stretched almost parallel to the Pu Railway Line.

Sure enough, the head of Wencheng is also the same as the monarch's tomb, with sun flags planted all over it. On the way here, Li Yan was still very strange that this Japanese army stationed in Junling did not go south directly south along the Tongpu Road, but made a detour from Fengdian to launch an attack. What does this perverse move mean?

And the Japanese army in Wencheng was the same as that in Fengdian, except for the act of stationing in the tun, there was no other action.

In the past few days, Wang Suihua used various connections to approach the headquarters of the Sena Division in Taiyuan, trying to find out the details of the visit of high-ranking Japanese officials; But to her dismay, all the people on the leads she could reach were ignorant of it, and they didn't even have as much information as she had from within the military command.

The female major of the military commander was disappointed, but she had a clear idea: from Beiping to Taiyuan, such a high-ranking Japanese general visited without revealing any traces, which further shows that behind the strict secrecy, there is a huge conspiracy hidden!

Wang Suihua was determined to unravel this conspiracy.

Unexpectedly, while she was sorting out the clues of the investigation and waiting for the return of the subordinates sent to Fengdian and Wencheng, the stationmaster suddenly passed on to her another shocking news: The Japanese army division stationed in Shanxi is preparing a large-scale attack!

The Shanxi Station of the Military Command learned through multiple channels that all two wings of the Kato Brigade of the Sena Division of the Japanese Army had just assembled in Jiaocheng, southwest of Taiyuan, and it was very likely that they would attack the Jinsui Military Defense Area of Yan Xishan in the southwest of Shanxi; In addition to the Otsuka Wing, the Hagiwara Brigade of the Sena Division, which was divided into Fengdian and Bunjo, another Saijo Wing, recently started by train from Taigu Prefecture, where it was stationed, and went to Junling, perhaps after joining forces with the Otsuka Wing, and then marched along the Tongpu Road to Linfen, where the headquarters of the Second Theater Governor was located.

Judging from this, the Shanxi Station judged that the strategic purpose of this large-scale offensive about to be launched by the Sena Division of the Japanese Army was to annihilate or expel the remaining main forces of the Second Theater of the Nationalist Army. The station commander himself further analyzed that the high-ranking general who had come to China and arrived in Taiyuan from the Japanese General Staff Headquarters was very likely to have come specifically to deploy this offensive plan. The Shanxi Station has reported all the above-mentioned information and analysis to the Northwest Region of the Military Command.

The stationmaster ordered the second intelligence group to continue to follow the clues of the high-ranking Japanese generals in Taiyuan, but the focus of work should be shifted to the offensive deployment of the Sena division from now on, and strive to intercept the specific plan of this attack.

Wang Suihua listened to the stationmaster's point of view with suspicion, but in her heart, she didn't feel the same way. Whether it was an agent's intuition or a woman's sixth sense, the female major of the military commander was still suspicious that a Japanese lieutenant general would fly from the mainland to North China to deploy a local offensive.

There must be other ulterior secrets in this!

Out of respect for Shangfeng, Wang Suihua did not directly question the stationmaster, she came up with a tactful way, asking the stationmaster to ask for assistance from the North China Region and the Beiping Station through the Northwest Region, and when she had learned of the actions of the Japanese North China Front Army stationed in Shanxi, she reconnoitred whether the North China Front's several divisions stationed in Hebei and Shandong (that is, the main force of the front army) had also made big moves at the same time.

The superficial reason given by Wang Suihua was that this mysterious big man from the Tokyo military circles first arrived in Beiping, and flew to Taiyuan accompanied by important members of the North China Front Army (who had just been confirmed as Major General Suzuki, a senior staff officer of the North China Front Headquarters). Then it cannot be ruled out that this person brought from the mainland, and it is possible that it is a battle plan granted to the entire North China Front.

The stationmaster felt that his intelligence team leader was reasonable, so he truthfully telegraphed to the Northwest District.

What kind of conspiracy could it be?

The female major of the military commander thought hard alone, and at this time, she was particularly worried about Li Yan: she needed Li Yan's ingenious ideas. Where is this bastard now? Is the lieutenant still beating her up as a major for her bad idea?
