Masao Kojima, who was extremely excited, did not rush to lead his subordinates back to Wencheng to report to the brigade commander, after all, the search and rescue of Warrant Officer Takamatsu of the cavalry wing was also an important event. He asked the plainclothes of a secret service to carefully touch back to the outskirts of Xiping Village, and at any time to pick up several other plainclothes who had infiltrated the village.

Finally, in the afternoon, news came back from Xiping Village: The number of the Eighth Route Army guarding Xiping Village at present can be described as very small, according to the observation of plainclothes people, there should be only about 20 people, carrying rifles and other light weapons. Previously, through the deputy battalion commander of the cavalry of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army who was captured and escaped, it was known that the number of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Xiping Village was the second battalion of the Xu Brigade of the Lin Division; But at the moment, the main force of the second battalion is obviously gone.

The plainclothes were never able to find any trace of the cavalry wing prisoners in the village.

It should be with the main force of the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division being coerced into Guanmen Mountain! Masao Kojima analyzed and felt that it was tricky: the ghost of the Eighth Route Army in Xiping and Hekou Village was still lingering, and the results achieved in the last night attack were basically in vain. For now, either let it regain its entrenchment, or it will have to use troops to attack it again. Prisoners of war, including the search and rescue of warrant officer Takamatsu.

When all the plainclothes who had infiltrated the village returned, Masao Kojima decided to leave only three people to continue to observe the movements, and he took the rest back to Bunjo for the time being. It was at this moment that the head of the secret service suddenly had the urge to conduct an experiment: to test the secret arrest of a woman in this area.

On the way here, I should have passed at least dozens of sparse houses, some of which were gathered in three or two families, and some were lonely and detached families. It should be a good place to start.

Of course, Masao Kojima would not say anything about comfort women to his subordinates, and from top to bottom, the Bunjo secret service knew nothing about the "wind plan" to secretly forcibly recruit comfort women, except for the director himself.

"Listen, Hagiwara Brigade Headquarters needs to use a woman to do things, but it's not convenient to requisition it in Wencheng, on the way back in a while, pay attention to the houses along the way, see if we can find a suitable person, and strive to take it away secretly."

Masao Kojima said to his men in a calm and relaxed tone. Seeing that everyone didn't have any suspicions, he continued:

"The condition is that you are young, and some of them are the best. Also, try not to alarm the family of the captor. ”

A plainclothes man muttered with interest: Is it the brigade commander, Major General, who needs a woman?

Kojima Masao quickly glared at him and reprimanded the other party not to talk nonsense, saying that it was just a routine matter, and if he succeeded, he would not be allowed to spread it after he returned.

The plainclothes enthusiastically became enthusiastic, and this kind of action against ordinary people, especially young women, was much lighter and even more interesting than risking death to reconnoiter under the noses of the sentries of the Eighth Route Army.

They started looking.

At first, no suitable target was found, and as we marched past the fifth dwelling, a woman finally appeared. It was a small dwelling with three courtyards next to each other, next to a lonely low hill in the heath, and it was supposed to be three neighbors. The plainclothes people hid on the side of the hill and carefully observed the houses in the twilight, and some of them were already emitting smoke. The woman was in what was apparently her yard, collecting clothes that had hung on a rope.

Two plainclothes agents, disguised as scavengers, approached the courtyard slowly, and saw that the woman was about thirty years old. At her feet was a large wooden basin, and the clothes she had taken from the rope were frozen and stiff, and she was carefully placing them in the basin. There was no one else in the courtyard, and the adjacent courtyard was empty.

The plainclothes of the two Japanese secret services exchanged glances and decided to do it.

The woman noticed someone swimming outside the hospital, but didn't care. It is only about three or four miles away from the Nantongpu Road railway line, and the scavengers on both sides of the railway line belong to the scenery that is extremely common in this area. The two plainclothes passed by the door of the courtyard where the woman was, and deliberately walked to the side and back of her, one of them looked to the wind, and the other quickly climbed over the low courtyard wall of about half a person, tiptoed from behind to the woman, waved a short wooden stick in his hand, and smashed it on the woman's head. The woman let out a faint grunt and fell limply. Before the woman collapsed completely, the Japanese plainclothes reached out and grabbed her body, carried it to their shoulders, and hurried to the courtyard wall in three steps and two steps, and the plainclothes outside took the woman who had fainted, and they returned to the edge of the hill, loaded the woman into the accompanying donkey cart, and quickly left.

Masao Kojima, who was hiding on the sidelines, witnessed the whole process of attacking and looting the woman, and was a little surprised that he had caught someone so easily. The head of the secret service, who was sitting in the body of the donkey cart, looked at the prey lying beside him, and deliberately lowered his head to carefully observe the woman's face—it was not good-looking, but it was very young, and it should only be in her twenties.

"Island Chief, what does the brigade headquarters want this woman to do?"

A plainclothes man couldn't help but ask curiously. Masao Kojima still reprimanded the other party for talking too much as he did just now, and did not answer. After walking for a while, another plainclothes man boldly said to Masao Kojima: Can you take this woman and give them a "taste".

Of course, Kojima Masao understood the thoughts of his subordinates, and he glanced left and right, according to his own wishes, he would not condone his subordinates to engage in such a tune when they were on a mission. But recently, there has been a lot of turmoil in Wencheng, and the plainclothes team of the secret service is very hard, and a string is always tight, perhaps, taking this opportunity to let them relax will have some benefit.

"Okay, when you get to Wencheng, you can find a hidden place and solve the battle quickly." The head of the secret service agreed with a smile on his face, which immediately drew small cheers from several plainclothes people.

Their route was to return to the city from the south gate of the city. When the shadow of the tall walls of Bunjo was faintly visible in the suburbs, Masao Kojima jumped out of the donkey cart, took only one of his men, mounted his bicycle, and drove into the city gate that was about to close. He instructed the plainclothes men, who had parked the donkey cart next to a few large trees and were ready to "make a surprise attack," to return to the secret service as soon as they were done, and to pay attention to the shelter of the donkey cart when they entered the city.

However, the next morning, Masao Kojima received an embarrassing report from one of his subordinates in his office: the woman was dead.

It turned out that the plainclothes had been in the process of brutally enjoying the woman in the southern suburbs of Wencheng the night before, and the woman woke up from a fainting state, and immediately began to struggle violently to resist, and shouted for help; The plainclothes had to gagged her with a ball of cloth and continued to ravage. More than an hour later, they transported the tied Shina woman into the city in a donkey cart and locked her in the basement of the secret service building. However, at dawn, it was found that the woman had died of exhaustion, her left temple was broken, and half of her face was stained with blood.

Masao Kojima was quite angry and slapped the reporter on the spot. The whole thing was supposed to be perfect, but the ending was a fly in the ointment. The head of the secret service ordered his subordinates to quietly transport the woman's body out of the city and dump it in the northern suburbs while it was dark. This matter shall not be made any publicity, and the violation of military law shall be carried out.

Immediately, he rushed to the headquarters of the commander of the Hagiwara Akira Brigade and reported on the situation that had been reconnoitred in the past two days.

Akira Hagiwara, who listened to the report, was also worried and happy. The worry is that the main force of the 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division in Xiping Village really escaped into Guanmen Mountain, and the prisoners of war of the cavalry wing disappeared with it, and another small force of the Eighth Route Army reoccupied Xiping, including the Eighth Route Army in Hekou Village, which is still entrenched there. Happily, the head of the secret service had an idea and thought of a plan to secretly capture the woman in the countryside as a comfort woman; This strategy is indeed stronger than the original plan of the captain of the Songjiagou military police.

"Xiao Dao-kun, in your opinion, the two villages at the foot of Guanmen Mountain, do we need to send troops over to do a second attack?"

"General, I'm afraid it's up to you to decide and judge," Kojima Masao replied with a deep groan: "From the perspective of public security, it is of course necessary to send troops to attack again, after all, it is still too close to Songjiagou and poses a certain threat to the comfort women's secret camp; However, as far as the strength of our troops stationed in this area is concerned, it is really more than enough to go out to suppress again. ”

"What about the search and rescue of Warrant Officer Takamatsu? If troops are not sent over, how will the search and rescue be carried out? We don't even know where this hairy kid was hidden by the Eighth Route Army, whether he was alive or dead! ”

Kojima Masao didn't want to take this hot potato again, he clicked his eyes, and said to the brigade commander, Major General: "I suggest that I still ask Lieutenant General Sena for help, and at least send an infantry brigade to cooperate with the people of the Otsuka Wing to fight, and directly enter Guanmen Mountain to carry out the search." In the final analysis, this is a direct order issued by the front command to our divisions and regiments, and we have to pay attention to it. ”

Hagiwara nodded slowly: the plan to increase the number of troops by the division is extremely necessary. Otherwise, with the mobile forces at hand, it will not be enough to enter the high mountains and dense forests of Guanmen Mountain to encircle, suppress, search and rescue. In addition, the situation shows that the remaining strength of the 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division is still not small, and it is necessary to deal a more powerful blow to prevent them from hindering the smooth implementation of the "Wind Plan".

"So, tell me about your experience of secretly capturing the woman in the countryside, and I suggest that we bring Hirai Nakasa together and discuss together. If it's feasible, do it now! Hagiwara's expression looked excited: "You know, as soon as the people of the Blue Coat Society make trouble, the security maintenance committee of Wencheng has become very fragile now, and it is very unrealistic to expect them to complete the city's household registration in a short period of time." And the matter of recruiting comfort women is also imminent! ”
