Wu Zijian and his subordinates were plotting to fight the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army, while his battalion commander and instructor were in the new station: Xiping, discussing how to strengthen the monitoring of Wu Zijian's troops to prevent him from supporting the army.

Xiping, like Hekou Village, is at the foot of Guanmen Mountain, more than ten miles south of Hekou Village, is a large village with more than 500 households, and the Qinglong River, which originates from the Guanmen Mountain Pass, also flows here. According to the administrative pattern of Yan Xishan's rule in Shanxi, Xiping has its own village office, which is under the jurisdiction of the county government of Lingshi County.

However, with the arrival of the 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army's Forestry Division, the "Xiping Village Field Mobilization Committee" was established, and in the name of the committee, it immediately took over all the administrative functions of the original village office.

Shanxi's War General Mobilization Committee, referred to as the Mobilization Committee, was personally advocated by Yan Xishan in July of the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937). Yan Xishan, who was in charge of the military administration at that time, already had a premonition that the Japanese army's attack on Shanxi was inevitable, so he proposed to implement a wartime general mobilization in the whole province and set up a mobilization committee; The provincial committee is headed by Yan himself, and the deputy director is Zhao Daiwen, governor of Shanxi Province; At the provincial level and below, each county and village has set up a committee, with the county head and village head serving as the director. At the village level, according to the age of the villagers, self-defense teams, ambulance teams, sewing and washing teams are formed to conduct military training in peacetime and protect the villages in wartime.

However, this huge mobilization plan was only a mere formality in Yan Xishan's time; It was not until the reorganized Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River into Shanxi that the leaders of the Communist Party of China saw the huge opportunity contained in the organization of the Mobilization Committee, so they ordered all departments of the Eighth Route Army to immediately operate and lead the Mobilization Committee wherever they went, and quietly replace the original local administrative power in the name of the Mobilization Committee.

This point was unexpected by the shrewd Yan Xishan, who was known for his calculations, but this time, he did not calculate the more shrewd Communists.

The director of the Xiping Village Movement Committee is Liu Shu, an instructor of the Second Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, and the deputy director is Zhang Xiu, the secretary of the Second Battalion Headquarters. At the beginning of the operation of the committee, the village chief was abolished, land and property were registered in the village, and then rent and interest reductions were implemented. and set up a self-defense force composed of young and middle-aged people and a sewing and washing team composed of women, which were led by Liu Shu and Zhang Xiu respectively.

The battalion commander, Feng Changzhi, did not hold a position in the mobilization committee, but focused on the military affairs of the second battalion. He scattered the six platoons of the 7th Company and assigned them the tasks of patrolling the periphery and guarding the village; The 6th Company works and rests as a whole and undertakes mobile tasks.

Liu Shu was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night.

The current situation is far from the weather that lived in the deep mountains of Guanmen Mountain before. Thanks to the redistribution of land and the reduction of rents and interest rates, the majority of the villagers were satisfied, and the operation of the committee became extremely smooth, with the number of Self-Defense Forces soon rising to more than 200 and dozens of village women actively joining the sewing and washing teams. This is exactly the prospect of the base area described by the regiment and brigade commanders to Liu Shu and Feng Changzhi before setting out from northern Shanxi; Unexpectedly, it became a reality so quickly!

Of course, Feng Changzhi was also happy, he didn't attach much importance to the village administrative power that the instructor had seized in his hands, but he was overjoyed with the more than 200 young and middle-aged self-defense members who suddenly appeared - these more than 200 young and strong people, as long as they were trained and then given weapons, they would be a brand new company! At this moment, he finally understood the good intentions of the superiors to reduce the main force of the Eighth Route Army into pieces and infiltrate various places to establish base areas.

The office of the instructor's village movement committee is located in the original village office in the center of the village; Feng Changzhi set up the second battalion headquarters in the land temple at the west end of the village. The two of them are one writer and one martial arts, complementing each other. Liu Shu, who was full of ambition, discussed with the battalion commander that once he gained a firm foothold in Xiping, he would also transfer out the 8th Company, which was still nesting in Guanmen Mountain, and continue to expand the scale of the base area in the farther direction of Xiping.

At this moment, Liu Shu thought of Wu Zijian, who stayed behind in Hekou Village and Shankou. Because it is the closest to Fengdian, the county seat occupied by the enemy, today's Hekou Village has undoubtedly become the frontier area of the Second Battalion. What the instructor was most worried about was Wu Zijian, lest this belligerent guy would rashly attack the Japanese army regardless of the overall situation, thus attracting the Japanese army's attack on the base area. In that case, the good situation that has just opened up may be ruined.

"Battalion commander, I suggest you go to Hekou, see the situation at Deputy Battalion Commander Wu, and tell him again, don't take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. Wait until we have finished building up our forces in this area, and then we will discuss the issue of war against Japan. At the camp headquarters of the Land Temple, Liu Shu suggested to Feng Changzhi. In fact, the instructor wanted to go there himself, but he was reluctant to leave the construction of the base area in the ascendant, and secondly, he also had a headache for Wu Zijian's disobedience to him.

"Okay, I'll go to Lao Wu's to have a look," Feng Changzhi happily agreed: "Deliver the good news from here to him, and let him stay there honestly and garrison; In addition, I went to the mountains again to cheer up the 8th Company, which was too bitter compared to ours. ”

"It's not going to be hard for long, I have a hunch that our base will soon be under the gate of Guanmen Mountain, and the spark can start a prairie fire!" Liu Shu waved his hand vigorously, as if he had sprinkled fire all over the ground.

After receiving an urgent telegram from Wencheng from the Second Intelligence Group, the Shanxi Station of the Military Command immediately launched an investigation into the matter of Masao Kojima being the head of the Wencheng secret service as mentioned by Wang Suihua; Sure enough, the eyeliner of the intelligence group in the Taiyuan Public Office confirmed what had just happened: The head of the small island organ has quietly left Taiyuan, and his whereabouts are unknown, and the new head of the Taiyuan organ will be in place in the near future.

The Shanxi Station reported the matter to the Northwest Region of the Military Command, and the Northwest Region sent a request to the North China Region to ask the Beiping Station of the North China Region to assist in finding out whether the North China Front Command of the Japanese Army would appoint a new head of the Taiyuan secret service in the near future.

Zhao Qingwen, the head of Shanxi Station, concluded that what Wang Suihua saw in Wencheng should be true, and this small island Masao was indeed the head of the secret service of Wencheng; And this is obviously an extraordinary transfer - what will happen to Wencheng? So much so that the head of the secret service in Taiyuan should be transferred to the town? Could it be related to that "wind plan"?

Zhao Qingwen instructed Wang Suihua to pay attention to following this new clue to see if he could link the mysterious military train that disappeared from Taiyuan Railway Station with it.

After receiving a call back from the station, Wang Suihua's heart was shocked: In the end, it is the stationmaster, Lao Jianghu's mind is meticulous, why didn't I think of this? ! First, the strange Japanese military train disappeared from the Taiyuan Railway Station, and the informant at the station confirmed that the military train did not take Zhengtai Road, but went south along Tongpu Road; Then the head of the Taiyuan secret service was transferred to Wencheng, which was from Taiyuan along the Tongpu Road.

If it can be proved that Masao Kojima took that strange military column to the south, he will undoubtedly take another big step towards the core of the secret!

The female major of the military commander, who was excited in the hotel, called Li Yan, a subordinate who lived next door, to her room.

Li Yan, who had just come in, sat on the chair in a regular manner, listening carefully to the analysis of the female boss. Listening to this, Li Yan's thick brows slowly wrinkled.

"Who are you looking for with a sad face?" Wang Suihua noticed this, suddenly stopped the topic, and said unhappily: "If you have any opinions, just say it, don't come to this disgusting expression!" ”

Li Yan swallowed his saliva and wanted to say something, but looked around the room: "Is there tea?" Thirst. ”

The female major of the military commander became more and more annoyed, and pointed to the thermos on a small table: "There is white water, you have to drink it yourself!" If you are young, learn what tea the old man drinks! ”

Li Yan got up slowly, took a tea bowl, and slowly poured some water into it, just raised it to his mouth, but suddenly put it down and handed it to the female boss: "Do you drink it?" ”

Wang Suihua bit her red lip and tried her best to control her emotions from attacking, but her eyes stared at each other fiercely. Li Yan pretended not to notice the anger of his female boss, took a sip of water, paced a few steps in the room, and suddenly sat on Wang Suihua's bed.

The female major of the military commander, who couldn't bear it, pointed an index finger sword at her subordinates, and was about to stop speaking, but Li Yan took the first step to speak:

"Is the matter of poison gas bombs also under the jurisdiction of the head of the secret service?"

Wang Suihua was stunned at first, then startled, and looked at the male subordinate sitting at the head of the bed in a daze, and even forgot to put down the raised fingers.

Seeing that he spoke extraordinarily and calmed down the beautiful female boss with a single sentence, Li Yan laughed triumphantly.

Wang Suihua slowly lowered her fingers in the other party's smile, and her heart slowly sank: God, this bastard is too reasonable, the poison gas bomb should undoubtedly be deployed in the special operations forces of the Japanese army, under the direct command of the army officer, how can it be touched by the head of the special service in charge of local espionage?!

"Team leader, I have long questioned how the Japanese dare to use poison gas bombs without scruples in the prosperous plains along Nantongpu Road. You assert that the Wind Project is related to chemical weapons, if that military train is carrying out the Wind Plan, and this small island and big island are also running out to carry out the Wind Plan, then it can be determined now, what this Bird Wind Plan involves cannot be chemical weapons at all! ”

The female major of the military commander sat down in the chair in a dejected manner, her face was still white and red just now, but in the blink of an eye, her face was like ashes.

This time, Li Yan couldn't bear it, looking at the dejected appearance of the female boss he had always liked, the lieutenant of the military commander hurriedly got up from the bed, walked to Wang Suihua's side, bowed his head and comforted softly:

"Don't be too disappointed, it's not good for your health," Seeing that his intimate actions were not interrupted by the other party, Li Yan's courage grew again, he reached out to Wang Suihua's right armpit and helped her up: "Go to the bed and lie down, recuperate-"

Before the words fell, the ignorant female major of the military commander suddenly realized, she raised her right arm suddenly, and hit Li Yan heavily in the chest with a standard elbow hammer, and the latter staggered back and coughed involuntarily.

The power of this elbow blow was not small, and Li Yan's face instantly turned pale.

Wang Suihua also found that the blow under the urgency was a bit too heavy, and she unconsciously felt a trace of apology: "I'm going to tell you about business, can you be serious!" ”

Li Yan sensed the guilt of the female boss, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, he smiled bitterly and said: "That's it, you have always been ruthless to me, if one day I die in your hands, I hope you will leave me a whole corpse for the sake of your colleagues." ”

Wang Suihua was so amused that she finally laughed, but then frowned again-

If it's not a gas bomb, then what is that weird military column?!
