Mauser* or shell guns were common in China at that time, and both the central army and local warlords were armed with a large number of Mauser pistols through outsourcing, smuggling and even imitation channels. The special service company commander Zhao Mutou used a relatively new model, just a few years ago from the factory, the gun's 20 rounds * are removable, and the gun body is clearly engraved with the three Chinese characters "Made in Germany".

"Most of the 20 rings of our Central Army are imported from Germany, and they were specially ordered for us by the German Mauser Military Factory, so they are engraved with Chinese characters."

Seeing Li Yan fiddling with it lovingly, Zhao Mutou explained to him.

Li Yan's Mauser pistol was produced more than ten years ago, and the bullets were pressed into the reload from above with a 10-round bridge clip; Compared with the new weapon of the special service company commander, which can be detached from below*, it is obviously a lot behind.

"Brother Li, it is said that your Military Command Bureau is the descendant of the chairman, and the change of firearms should not be bad, why are you still using such an old shell gun?" Zhao Mutou asked with some puzzlement.

"You don't know," Li Yan played with the other party's gun without raising his eyes: "Our Shanxi Station is not a big station, it was established late, and all kinds of equipment are poor." In addition, the unit I work for is an intelligence unit, which is not responsible for specific armed operations, and the personnel are mainly equipped with guns for self-defense. The action group over there in Taiyuan estimates that the weapons and equipment are much stronger than ours. ”

"No wonder, during the meeting just now, you and Major Wang fought for a long time, it turns out that the tasks within the military command are so finely divided; However, I found that you, who are subordinates, don't seem to be very afraid of your commander, huh? ”

Hearing the spy company commander ask, Li Yan finally glanced at him with his eyes: "What am I afraid of her doing?" A girl's family, with long hair and short knowledge. ”

Zhao Mutou couldn't help but secretly be a little speechless - in his mind, the female major of the military commander was by no means a "girl" with long hair and short knowledge, Qin Tuanzuo once told him personally about the scene of Wang Suihua crushing the throat of a Japanese prisoner with one hand, not to mention, he himself did not have learned Wang Suihua's skills.

"Hey, brother," Li Yan suddenly glanced at the two people who were sleeping on the other end of the fire, and asked Zhao Mutou in a low voice: "Last time, you were outside Fengdian County, and you attacked and arrested my female boss in the middle of the night, I was not there at the time, you tell me about it." ”

The commander of the spy company did not expect Li Yan to be interested in this, so he briefly recalled the process of that night. Li Yan listened attentively, and finally asked: "You soldiers arrested Major Wang as a traitor and Mrs. Kuo, didn't you treat her at that time?" ”

Zhao Mutou was stunned for a moment, but then he understood the meaning of Li Yan's question, and couldn't help but stab the other party angrily and funny: "What nonsense are you talking about!" What do you think of Lao Tzu's Central Army? Bandits and flower thieves? Besides, it's not like you don't know what your boss's temper is! If our brothers dare to offend her, I am afraid that they will not live to this day. ”

Li Yan saw that Zhao Mutou's voice was a little loud, so he hurriedly put his finger to his mouth and shushed it, lest he wake up the two people around him, and he was even more worried about being heard by the female major of the military commander next door.

"Don't talk about her, this little girl is really ruthless, I work under her, and I don't suffer less;" Li Yan got into the quilt that was warmed by the fire kang, and put on a serious face: "You are from the army, from the perspective of combat, do you think you are sure of the thing she arranged just now?" How sure are you? ”

"It's hard to say, I haven't really fought a battle like this; It's kind of like a sneak attack, but it's not all. I think that the key to success or failure depends on how many Japanese soldiers and spies there are at the city hall at the time. We have limited personnel and weapons, and we must fight and withdraw quickly, and if there are too many Japanese, I am afraid that we will be entangled, and then it will be troublesome. ”

The words of the spy company commander can be said to have hit Li Yan's heart. Ever since he learned that his female boss was determined to sabotage the city hall celebration, his biggest concern was the safe evacuation. It's fine to say if it's taking advantage of the night, but it's obviously impossible for the celebration to take place at night. The wide street in front of the town hall was shot in broad daylight, and it was not easy to escape in full view.

At the meeting just now, Wang Suihua and them had preliminarily planned the target to be shot, that is, anyone who appeared on the rostrum of the pseudo-city hall celebration could be targeted: there was no need to screen or be soft, and a burst of random guns would be fired over, and they would run away after hitting them.

Zhao Mutou and his subordinates all used 20 fast and slow machine shell guns, and although Li Yan's shell guns could only be loaded with 10 rounds, they could also fire in bursts. This is the most important point of this attack.

"I knew that Wencheng was engaged in such an operation, so it was better to bring a batch of * from Big Elm Mountain, that thing was set on fire and thrown into the city hall, and it exploded on all sides! And cover when retreating can also be used. Zhao Mutou said regretfully.

"You still have a sprig*! It would be even more exciting if it could be put to use. Li Yan said with great fascination that he fell in love at first sight with Bergman*, who was hidden in the suburbs by the officers and soldiers of the special service company.

Zhao Mutou grinned and shook his head with a smile - because he had secretly brought that big guy here, he had already been severely reprimanded by the female major of the military commander, and he didn't want to make any more trouble:

"No, I don't. Our twenty rings, turned on the express, and as soon as the fire was fired, a shuttle bullet flew out, no different from *. This time each of us brought five* with a hundred rounds of ammunition each; How many devils and traitors are there in the city hall, this hundred rounds is enough to pass away. ”

As soon as he mentioned the fast and slow machine, Li Yan involuntarily took the shell gun of the special agent company commander and thought about it, he thought, the 391st Regiment is the trump card unit of the Central Army, and the weapons and equipment are really tough.

"By the way, Brother Li, you used a bridge to clamp the bullet with this gun, right?" Zhao Mutou also took Li Yan's shell gun: "You can't fight too hard, the bridge clamp pressure bullet, sometimes it's easy to use, sometimes it's easy to get stuck." When it's time to act, keep an eye on the fire of our brethren, preferably while we are still firing. ”

Li Yan nodded gratefully. He and Zhao Mutou have not been dating for a long time, but they have a good impression of each other. In terms of military rank, he is a lieutenant, and Zhao Mutou is a captain, but Li Yan is a few years older, and the commander of the special agent company respectfully calls him Brother Li, which makes him quite useful.

The two of them each took back their pistols and stuffed them under their pillows, ready to go to bed. Zhao Mutou suddenly remembered what Wang Suihua wanted to say at the meeting just now, so he curiously asked Li Yan about the allusion of "holding the knife". Don't you know that this incident that happened in Linfen City with a Japanese soldier in his hand was the experience of the male lieutenant of the military commander who was ashamed to talk about it, and immediately dealt with it vaguely, pulled out the lamp rope and slept.

The secret telegram personally sent by the commander of the Hagiwara Brigade to the North China Front Headquarters had already been received by Major General Suzuki, the recipient of the telegram, and this senior staff officer of the Front Army Headquarters quickly replied to the Hagiwara Brigade Commander: Immediately request the heads of the special services in Beiping and Tianjin to provide relevant information as soon as possible on the matter of the Blue Coat Society, but it will take some time.

Hagiwara Akira informed Kojima Masao of Major General Suzuki's reply by phone, and the latter suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: With the assistance of colleagues in Beiping and Tianjin, things would be much easier, after all, the blue-coated elements there were quite active, and the resources and intelligence that the army's secret services had cracked and controlled were much richer. If I can find the track of the activities of the Blue Coat Society in Shanxi from there, even if God helps me!

After putting down the phone call of the brigade commander, Major General, Masao Kojima immediately gathered his subordinates and made arrangements again for the celebration of the Bunjo Public Security Maintenance Association and the next steps of the maintenance meeting.

At present, the Bunjo secret service is divided into four classes by Masao Kojima according to convention, which are the intelligence class, the political class, the economic class, and the cultural and educational class. When Masao Kojima served in the Kwantung Army, he served as the head of the secret service in many cities in Manchuria, and he was familiar with the road and experienced. However, the most important task of the head of the secret service was to assist Major General Hagiwara Akira in carrying out the "wind plan" of secretly forcibly recruiting comfort women, so the work assigned to the usual secret service was now relegated to the second place in Wencheng: he assigned a small number of people to form a political class, an economic class, and a cultural and educational class, so as to temporarily take charge of and control the local civil affairs, finance, construction, culture and education and other fields (this was originally the meaning of the title of the army's establishment of a special service agency in the occupied area); However, all the elite forces were incorporated into the intelligence squad, which was specially used to deal with the Chinese army and spy organizations in this area. In addition to the civilian officials on duty, the intelligence squad also set up a plainclothes squad of more than 60 people, organized into five detachments, to monitor key areas in Wencheng City.

The upcoming inauguration ceremony of the Wencheng Public Security Maintenance Association was originally announced to the public for the establishment of the city hall, and the new mayor of Wencheng will also meet with the citizens; Unexpectedly, Taiyuan suddenly issued a new order, before the Shanxi Provincial Office was officially listed, the cities and counties should not set up administrative power organs for the time being! Therefore, this celebration had to be changed to the establishment celebration of the Bunjo Public Security Maintenance Association.

In fact, the security maintenance association of Wencheng was established as early as not long after the Otsuka Wing drove away the 12th Brigade of the Jin Army and occupied Wencheng, and was led by Yang Yaokang, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry; Fortunately, at that time, it was only at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce's hall that a sign for the maintenance of law and order was hung up, and it was not publicized. After Masao Kojima arrived as the head of the Wencheng secret service, he quickly got into a heated fight with Yang Yaokang and approved Yang Yaokang's motion to become the mayor of Wencheng; A group of members of the Security Maintenance Association also moved into the city hall immediately. From this point of view, the temporary change of the festival to the name of the public order maintenance association is always reasonable on the face.

Masao Kojima knew that Yang Yaokang was quite disappointed and frustrated by this change. This guy coveted the throne of the mayor of Wencheng long before the imperial army came to Wencheng, and the national government did not let him succeed, but the imperial army gave him a chance, which of course made this rich businessman of China grateful. Kojima Masao comforted the other party to be impatient, as soon as the sign of the Shanxi Provincial Office was put out, he would immediately appoint Yang Yaokang as the mayor of Wencheng, and at that time, he could hold another celebration.

However, two days later, the celebration had to be held as scheduled, not only to announce to the citizens that the so-called maintenance association had been formally established, but more importantly, to issue a notice at the celebration: from now on, the citizens of Wencheng City will be subject to the door-to-door investigation and registration organized by the maintenance association, establish a new household registration, and issue a certificate of good citizenship.

The impostor Nakazuo in the comfort women's camp in Songjiagou was about to laugh so much that he couldn't sleep—Masao Kojima thought indignantly but with great disdain—this guy had come to Wencheng for two days to take in the young and beautiful flower girls in the city; But in the end, it was me, the head of the secret service, who laid a solid foundation for him! With the household registration of Wencheng citizens, this fake Zhongzuo will put those eligible Shina women on his blacklist. As for how to catch those women into Songjiagou without leaking a word, you have to rely on your own skills to fake Zhongzuo. But then again, this guy who was promoted all the way by fiddling with comfort women really has a set of means to deal with the woman in China!

Masao Kojima struggled to get the annoying Hirai Tereichi and his comfort women camp out of his mind, and now his immediate priority was to get the celebration going ahead two days later as scheduled. For this reason, the entire Wencheng secret service has begun to operate intensively and at a high speed.
