When the entire Sena Division Headquarters was set out and went out along the Tongpu Road to Wencheng, the Hagiwara Brigade Headquarters was still forced to stay in Taiyuan.

Brigade commander Akira Hagiwara, who is in full charge of the "Wind Project", is anxiously waiting for Hiraijichi to collect the people on the secret list of comfort women.

The two squadrons of the Nara Brigade of the Otsuka Wing, which had remained in Junling, had arrived in Taiyuan by train under the leadership of Deputy Wing Commander Aso Nakasa (this is exactly what Li Yan, an agent of the military command, saw at the Junling Railway Station), and the purpose of their trip was to escort the comfort women's military train to the Songjiagou secret camp.

In addition to the two squadrons of Aso Nakasa, the cavalry regiment of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army also arrived in Taiyuan to perform the same mission.

The so-called Mongolian Xinjiang Army is the army under the current "Mongolian-Xinjiang Joint Committee". As early as the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), that is, the year after the founding of the puppet Manchurian Empire, the invading Japanese army used the Mongolian German king Demuchuk Donglupu to concoct a puppet regime in Mongolia, China: the Joint Committee of the Mongolian and Xinjiang Governments. The area was in the area of Chahar Province and Suiyuan Province at that time, the chairman was King De, the vice chairman was Li Shouxin, and the Japanese were the masterminds behind the scenes, which was quite the flavor of establishing a "Manchurian Empire" again.

Last year, at the same time as the North China Front attacked Shanxi, the Japanese army dispatched the newly established harem division of the Kwantung Army to occupy the territory of the Joint Committee of the Mongolian and Xinjiang Governments, and merged the three puppet autonomous governments on this territory -- the Autonomous Government of Chanan, the Autonomous Government of Northern Shanxi, and the Autonomous Government of the Mongolian Union -- into the current Joint Committee of Mongolia and Xinjiang, with its capital in Zhangjiakou.

The army under the leadership of the Mongolian-Xinjiang Joint Committee has a total of 9 cavalry divisions and 1 truck regiment, and its combat effectiveness can only be said to be average. The predecessor of the army, the 35th Army, which had been defeated by Fu Zuoyi, lost its armor and collapsed in Bailing Temple and other places in Suiyuan. Last year, the Japanese army, feeling that its troops were insufficient, began to recruit part of the Mongolian Xinjiang army into Shanxi to assist in the battle.

The Mongolian army is mostly cavalry, and one of its cavalry divisions has about 1,000 horses. At present, the cavalry regiment of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army, which went to Taiyuan from northern Jin Dynasty and went to Junling for a time, has a total of 500 people, and the head of the regiment is Han, named Du Dongqiang, and more than ninety percent of the cavalry under his command are also Han. They were assigned to the Sena Division of the Japanese North China Front, and were under the control of the Hagiwara Brigade Otsuka Wing. The commander of the Hagiwara Brigade instructed them to temporarily station near the Taiyuan Railway Station and wait for the next order.

There is a reason for Major General Hagiwara's continued anxiety in recent days: The two divisions of the imperial army in Shanxi have already started the pace of attacking southern and southwestern Jinjin, and large troops have assembled and moved very frequently in the area around Tongpulu. In Songjiagou, the barracks built by an engineer squadron of the division day and night are also nearing completion; Preparations are underway to erect telephone poles and telephone lines from Fengdian to Songjiagou to Wencheng. However, on the side of Hirai Temple, he was still slowly and methodically preparing, verifying the addresses of the women on the list one by one—there was no way, the quartermaster was a person who lacked the courage, agility and speed of front-line combat.

According to the unified deployment of this major attack, the Hagiwara Brigade Headquarters is about to move forward and station in Wencheng, but at the moment, the actions of the Hiraiji First Gendarmerie have dragged down the operation of the entire "Wind Plan", and this guy must be asked to speed up the progress!

The commander of the Hagiwara Brigade has just transferred an infantry squadron of the Otsuka Wing to his station, and the brigade commander said that another squadron has been stationed at the Taiyuan Railway Station and is on duty day and night to guard the comfort women's train with seven carriages.

What has affected the progress of Hiraiji's implementation of the "Wind Project" is the way in which he has been thinking about how to gather the women on the list. Thirty-eight women, spread across the inner city and suburbs of Taiyuan, and most of them live with their immediate families. The question of what kind of reason to get them out of their homes and not to let their families follow them was a headache for the head of the gendarmerie. The headquarters of the Front Army, as well as the commander of the Sena Division and the commander of the Hagiwara Brigade, all emphasized the secrecy and concealment of the operation, so it was obviously inappropriate to forcibly seize people, which would cause an uproar in the densely populated city of Taiyuan.

In the course of his previous visits, Hirai Teraichi deceived the women on the comfort women list and their families in the name of monetary compensation, medical check-ups, relocation of cities, and job changes. In the next step, as long as they are brought into the barracks of the division headquarters to be guarded, it is up to their will. The key is that at the beginning of the operation, they must not be suspicious of their relatives and friends.

Hirai also had to worry about the aftermath, he took these comfort women to hide in a secret camp deep in the mountains, not to mention the common people, even the Shina army may not be able to find their traces. However, the relatives and friends who have gone missing will certainly not give up, and if they are traced, the "Wind Project" is in danger of going out of the way.

However, when the commander of the gendarmerie, who had been thinking hard but could not find a perfect solution, called the commander of the Hagiwara Brigade to report to him, an order from the latter immediately solved all the troubles of Hirai Teriichi: from the next day, the gendarmerie was to act continuously, collect all the women of Shina according to the list, and secretly take away the immediate family members who lived with her, and bring them all into the current station of the gendarmerie.

It's all simpler.

Wind Plan!?

The General Headquarters of the Military Command and the North China Region of the Military Command intercepted the Japanese army's "Wind Plan" almost one after the other. Of course, all they intercepted was the name of the project, but they didn't know anything about it.

The headquarters of the military command learned of the existence of a "wind plan" through the internal eyeline of the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, and there was information to corroborate that the plan was related to the mysterious lieutenant general who had recently flown to Beiping from the Japanese General Staff Headquarters.

The North China Region of the Military Command intercepted and deciphered a telegram between the North China Front Army and the regimental headquarters of the Sena Division in Shanxi, which vaguely mentioned the words "Wind Plan." They promptly reported the matter to headquarters.

On the basis of these fragmented intelligence clues that had just been obtained and had just been obtained, the Military Command Headquarters basically determined that the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army had dispatched a special envoy to deploy a secret mission to the North China Front, and this secret mission, that is, the "Wind Plan," was handed over to the Sena Division stationed in Tunshan Shanxi to complete.

Accordingly, the Military Command Headquarters sent a telegram to the Northwest Region and Shanxi Station to quickly investigate and clarify the true content of the "Wind Plan" and to assist and cooperate with the North China Region and Beiping Station.

The address of Juntong Shanxi Station, located near Shanxi University in Houjia Lane, Taiyuan City, not too far from the East Gate of Taiyuan, is an independent courtyard house with two entrances before and after. This quadrangle compound is hung with a plaque of "Furui and the warehouse", the shopkeeper of the warehouse is surnamed Wei, and the boss of Wei Mingli is the shopkeeper of this store, but he is actually an agent of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command; Furui and the warehouse deal in mountain goods, furs and Fenjiu, and the business is not prosperous, so it is not very eye-catching. The leaders and administrative staff of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command, as well as several members of the two action teams of the operation group, lived in the two compounds, and their public identities were all warehouse employees and associates.

The front yard is the warehouse and the men's residence, and the back yard is the account room and the shopkeeper's residence. In a wing room in the backyard, there is also a hidden basement, where the two radio stations of Shanxi Station are placed. There are two account rooms in the main room, one of which is the stationmaster's office.

Zhao Qingwen, the head of Shanxi Station, is also an old qualified agent, in the era of the Blue Coat Society, he was the assassination master of the secret service of the Lixing Society, in April of the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China (1937), the "Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government" was formally established, Zhao Qingwen was sent by Dai Li to work in the Northwest District, and soon served as the colonel of Shanxi Station.

At this moment, the colonel's stationmaster urgently convened a meeting of the team leader in his office that was decorated as an account room.

The internal structure of the military command is divided into bureaus, districts, stations, groups, and teams from top to bottom, and the Shanxi Station, which is subordinate to the Northwest Region, consists of three groups, two intelligence groups, and one action group. Under the action group, it is divided into two action teams. At this time, those gathered in Zhao Qingwen's office were the leaders of the three groups.

"Now it seems," Zhao Qingwen said with a solemn expression: "This mysterious wind plan should have been implemented on the head of the Sena Division, and the exact information confirms that the Japanese lieutenant general from Tokyo, and the major general of the North China Front Army who accompanied him, only visited the Sena Division headquarters during their stay in Taiyuan. ”

"Didn't Yamaoka himself participate in the meeting?" Wang Suihua, the leader of the second intelligence group, asked in disbelief. As the lieutenant general and division commander of the Japanese Army's Yamaoka Division stationed in Taiyuan, it stands to reason that the special envoy of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and the senior staff officers of the North China Front Army visited Taiyuan, and he should come forward to receive him.

"No," said the leader of the intelligence group: "My reliable source said that Lieutenant General Yamaoka himself was not in Taiyuan City in those days, and he and his chief of staff went to the front line in Xiyang to inspect the troops, focusing on the Benchuan Brigade that the division was transferred back to the city from the Shandong battlefield in January this year. ”

"That is to say, this wind plan may have nothing to do with the Japanese army's Taiyuan station, but is arranged for implementation in the army," Wang Suihua said decisively: "Because the division headquarters of the Sena Division has moved out of Taiyuan and gone south along the Tongpu Road by military column, I am still tracking down where I have arrived at present, but it is nothing more than the front line of Taigu, Junling and even Wencheng, which has just fallen." ”

"What do you mean by nothing more than that!? Is this how the Qingpu class trained you? I need the exact location! The stationmaster Zhao Qingwen was obviously dissatisfied, and his stern eyes glared at the female team leader.

"Yes, my subordinates have sent people along Tongpu Road, and there will be a reply soon." Wang Suihua, who was reprimanded, looked embarrassed and hurriedly responded. At this moment, she already regretted that she had only sent Li Yan to Wencheng alone, but when Li Yan left, Sena's division headquarters had not yet moved, and the damned "wind plan" had not been informed by the military commander's top brass and comrades in North China.

"You're going to go there yourself!" The stationmaster gave an order to Wang Suihua, who was disgraced: "The entire second intelligence group, from now on, will all turn to the tracking of the wind plan!" We must find out what kind of name is in this bird plan! ”
