Chapter 097: A New Discovery of the Military Command

Wang Suihua sent Li Yan to Baoyuan Restaurant for dinner, intending to take advantage of the mixed and well-informed environment there to see if he could find out some valuable information. The female major of the military commander herself drove around the streets of Wencheng in a car to observe the Japanese garrison here. She asked Liu, the elder of the radio station, to stay in the hotel room to guard the radio station in case of emergency.

To Wang Suihua's surprise, Li Yan only went to Baoyuan Restaurant for two meals, and then brought back a news worth seeking, according to the diners of the restaurant, the road from Wencheng to Fengdian County has recently been blocked by devils, and in the mountain pass of Little Elm Mountain, the Japanese soldiers set up a checkpoint, and no people are allowed to enter the mountain to Fengdian from there.

In the evening, the female major of the military commander and Li Yan unfolded the map in the room—it was a high-precision military map issued by the military commander in the northwest region at that time—and began to analyze the geographical location of this area.

On the map, Wencheng and Fengdian are vividly visible, and the mountain between the two: Little Elm Mountain is also clearly visible. Little Elm Mountain is a north-south direction, almost parallel to the South Tongpu Railway, stretching for about 50 miles, its north foot is not far from Junling City, and the south foot is close to Guanmen Mountain.

It is worth noting that in order to transport the coal abundant in Xiaoyushu Mountain, Yan Xishan once built a railway track from Wencheng, entered from the mountain pass to the west, and reached Songjiagou in the depths of Xiaoyushu Mountain; In view of the fact that Songjiagou is not far from Fengdian County, so after the railway track is repaired to Songjiagou termination, a simple highway is built to go straight out of Dongshan Pass, standing at Dongshan Pass, you can already see the city wall and south gate of Fengdian.

This project set up a shortcut between Wencheng and Fengdian, and people traveling between the two places saved themselves from detouring to the south and north of Little Elm Mountain. For a time, the local people all praised the virtue and diligence of Yan's parents.

As for the 12th Independent Brigade of the Jin Army, when it was stationed in Wencheng and Fengdian, it not only used this shortcut as a communication line between each other, but also pulled up telephone lines along the way. Intelligence shows that after the Japanese Otsuka Wing first captured Fengdian, it also went out to Wencheng along this route to attack and occupy it.

But now the Japanese have blocked the mountain pass west of Little Elm Mountain, cutting off the road.

"In your opinion, what are the Japanese doing?" Wang Suihua asked her subordinates.

Li Yan tilted his head and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "At the beginning, I used to be very strange that the Japanese army in Junling did not fight directly along the Tongpu Road railway line, but first detoured to Dafengdian, and then crossed the road of Little Elm Mountain to Wencheng. Now, I seem to have wondered what it tasted like. He nodded slowly.

Wang Suihua looked at Li Yan, who was shaking his head and self-absorbed, and was a little anxious, but he knew the lazy nature of this subordinate, so he couldn't help but didn't ask what was going on, but stared at him with two sharp eyes.

Of course, Li Yan felt the torch-like gaze of his female boss, he deliberately avoided it, and looked at Wang Suihua's chest; The room was lit with a stove and a charcoal brazier, and it was warm, and Wang Suihua had taken off her leather robe and was wearing only a dark red sweater, which looked quite tall.

Finally, the female major of the military commander couldn't hold it back, she tapped the map spread out on the table with her index finger, shaking Li Yan's presumptuous eyes, the latter swallowed saliva, and then said:

"Do you think? The behavior of the Japanese first occupying Fengdian County in the mountains and then blocking the Xiaoyushu Mountain Pass, is it like a human action? Li Yan was proud of his discovery: "It's like a person closing the door!" ”

Wang Suihua's heart moved.

She understood Li Yan's metaphor in an instant: "Good analysis! In other words, it is possible that the Japanese are doing some kind of secret in Fengdian, so as to close the door of Wencheng to Fengdian! ”

"Exactly. Because Fengdian is located in the mountains, it is only connected to two cities, one is Wencheng and the other is Junling; Junling has always been occupied by the Japanese, and it is more than 100 miles away from Fengdian; Wencheng is less than fifty miles away from Fengdian, so as long as the main road from Wencheng to Fengdian is closed, it is equivalent to closing a door to Fengdian. If the Japanese want to make some name for themselves there, it will be much safer. ”

"This can also explain why the Otsuka United, who have been stationed in Junling, made a detour to attack Fengdian first - they were aiming at Fengdian at all!" The female major of the military commander became excited, and her gaze at Li Yan became soft and warm.

Li Yan couldn't help but be a little obsessed, he really felt that the woman in front of him was too cute, but he couldn't get close: the intimacy of the heart.

"Now Fang Moshu is active in Fengdian, I don't know what new harvest he has there," Wang Suihua looked at the watch on his wrist: "Go tell Lao Liu and prepare to send a report to the station." ”

In Wang Suihua's subconscious, the trip to Taiyuan of the mysterious lieutenant general of the Japanese staff headquarters was always associated with the subsequent attack on Fengdian by the Otsuka Wing; Then it can be further judged now, and it is very likely that the "Wind Plan" was carried out by the Otsuka Wing of the Sena Division, at least they were also involved in the partial plan.

It's just that what are the Japanese going to do in Fengdian? After they occupied the county seat, they carried out a brutal massacre, which seemed to be to intimidate the people of the city. If they want to implement the mysterious "Wind Plan" in Fengdian next, then the true content of the "Wind Plan" may reveal clues - after all, after the slaughter of the city, Fengdian, according to Fang Moshu and Zhou Yi and his wife who went to reconnoiter last time, there should still be half of the residents who survived.

You should rush to Fengdian immediately!

The female major of the military commander sent a telegram to the Shanxi station, reporting this new movement of the Japanese army, and attached a specific analysis, requesting permission for the second intelligence group to immediately shift the focus of the "wind plan" from the Tongpu Road to Fengdian.

In a reply call from Shanxi Station, station commander Zhao Qingwen reluctantly agreed to this adjustment of the Second Intelligence Group, but also stressed that the Japanese Sena Division was moving south along the Tongpu Road, and if the Second Intelligence Group could not quickly find out the clues in Fengdian, it would have to redeploy manpower in the direction of the Tongpu Road and keep an eye on the headquarters of the Sena Division. At the same time, Zhou Yi, a member of the second group who was active in Junling, reported that the Japanese troops in Junling City had almost withdrawn, and Shanxi Station had telegraphed her to go to the Nanyang Hotel in Wencheng immediately to meet Wang Suihua.

All the devils in Junling City are gone? The female major of the military commander thought for a moment, and felt that it was also reasonable: from the confrontation stage between the Japanese and Chinese armies in the past, Junling was the frontier of the Japanese army in the central and southern Jin Dynasty, and now the Japanese have captured Wencheng, and the main force of the Sena Division is still moving south from Wencheng, and the front line should soon move to Lingshi County; At present, the Japanese army is concentrating heavy forces to launch a major offensive against the south and southwest of Jin, and it is normal for them to abandon the Junling in the rear when they have insufficient troops.

And Zhou Yi's imminent arrival made Wang Suihua overjoyed - there is a shortage of manpower!

Due to the lack of radio and other means of communication, after Wang Suihua sent Li Yan and Fang Moshu and his wife to Wencheng, Fengdian and Junling respectively to reconnoitre, she actually lost contact with them, and could only passively wait for everyone to return to Taiyuan to report the situation. As a result, she only waited for Li Yan's return; And until she took Li Yan and the radio station and station director assigned to her in the station, and set off from Taiyuan to Wencheng, Fang Moshu and Zhou Yi did not hear back. Zhou Yi was in Junling, and finally found a long-distance call and called the second intelligence group liaison station in Taiyuan, and the deaf man who answered the phone reported to Shanxi Station, and then the station manager gave an order for Zhou Yi to go to Wencheng to meet the team leader.

Wang Suihua did not return the room at the Wencheng Nanyang Hotel, but left a note for Zhou Yi at the front desk of the hotel, telling her to stay in place and wait for instructions after she arrived.

The three of them, driving a Chevrolet sedan and pulling the radio station, went straight to Fengdian.

Du Dongqiang, the commander of the cavalry regiment of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army, received an order from Kosuke Otsuka to go out of the south gate to search and suppress, and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly convened a meeting of the regiment deputy and several battalion commanders at the regimental headquarters of the Guandi Temple.

The humiliating incident of his company a few days earlier caused an uproar throughout the cavalry regiment, and the 100 or so people who were finally released back lost all their horses and weapons (including sabers), and some of them even had their overcoats stripped away. If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese saw through the divisive tricks of the sneak attack of the Chinese army, their entire regiment of officers and soldiers would have almost been suppressed as rebels.

Du Dongqiang and his subordinates held their breath, but there was nowhere to vent. He and several battalion commanders who were not present at the time were also quite jealous of Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army. The Mongolian army is divided into three branches, Du Dongqiang, this one, is a subordinate of the traitor Li Shouxin, the second person in the puppet Mongolian regime, although it is called the Mongolian Xinjiang army, but basically all Han Chinese. Their predecessors were all beaten by Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan.

"This time to the south of the county search, we can't have any more mistakes!" Du Dongqiang's face was gloomy in the Guandi Temple, and he said to his subordinates: "Your Excellency Aso Nakasa, you have already found a few guides for us through the maintenance association of this county, and they are familiar with the terrain around Guanmen Mountain. ”

Du Dongqiang chose the first battalion as the force for this search out of the city. Previously, his second and third battalions each set aside a company every day to carry out patrols out of the north and south cities, and the one who was attacked in the north of the city was a company of his second battalion.

The guides from this county who were found had the experience of detouring the southern foot of Little Elm Mountain to Wencheng before the road in Little Elm Mountain was repaired, and the southern foot of Little Elm Mountain was already close to the northern foot of Guanmen Mountain. According to Du Dongqiang, the northern foot of Guanmen Mountain is sparsely populated, and only by continuing to travel south along the western foot of Guanmen Mountain will there be clusters of villages.

Based on this, Du Dongqiang believes that it is unlikely that there will be troops of the Nationalist Government in that area, and at best, there will be some militia groups and other armed forces. However, the guides also mentioned that in Guanmen Mountain, there is a group of bandits entrenched all year round, and the female bandit leader Liu Wumei has a loud bandit horn in this area, often harassing the Quartet.

The commander of the cavalry regiment of the puppet Mongolian army couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it: bandits? The rabble, a few groups of people, a few broken guns, can't become any climate, this time, if you really encounter bandits, just take them to sacrifice the flag, in order to take out a mouthful of the evil spirit of the past few days!

As for the female bandit leader, Du Dongqiang's big face full of pimples had a lewd smile, and he couldn't help but remember that when he led his troops in Suiyuan, he once caught a local queen who rebelled against King De, and brought him directly into his inner house, and enjoyed it for many days before being tied to Guisui (author's note: Hohhot today).

Female bandit leader? Hum.
