In the evening of the same day, in the courtyard of the house named No. 1 Yangliu Lane in the north of Wencheng City, the second intelligence group of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command finally officially settled on a new base.

Wang Suihua was obviously very satisfied with the location of this new stronghold - Li Yan's ability was once again demonstrated - it was neither conspicuous nor remote, and it was very close to a bustling road in Beicheng, and on that road, the wing headquarters of the Otsuka Wing of the Japanese Hagiwara Brigade was stationed, which could facilitate the second intelligence group to monitor the movements of the Otsuka Wing at close range.

As for the house, it is also quite good, with two south-facing main houses, one for the female major of the military commander, and Li Yan and Lao Liu share the other room. In addition to the kitchen facing north, there is also a side building that is currently empty, and some trade goods can be piled up in it in the future to hide people's eyes and ears.

The happiest person is the director of the radio station. It turned out that when he was in the Nanyang Hotel, although the room where the military radio station was placed was already the most remote corner of the top floor of the hotel, Lao Liu was still worried every day: after all, it was a hotel, there were many people, and the waiters often came to the door. Every time he received a telegram, his nerves were highly tense. Now, No. 1 Yangliu Lane, which is a separate courtyard, has given the radio station director a great sense of security.

After settling down a little, Wang Suihua ordered to send a report to the Shanxi Station of the Military Command in Houjia Lane, Taiyuan, first, to continue to report the news of the disappearance of Zhou Yi, a member of the group, and second, to officially report that the second intelligence group had returned to Wencheng, and only Fang Moshu, a member of the team, stayed on the front line of Nantongpu Road; Intelligence Group 2 will re-establish clues to trace the area around Xiaoyushu Mountain, including Songjiagou Railway Station and Fengdian County.

Shanxi Station called back later, and did not blame too much for Wang Suihua's new decision to cut first and then play, but only let the two groups adapt to the situation, but the monitoring of the main force of the Sena Division on the Nantong Pulu front line still could not be relaxed; The stationmaster inquired more about Zhou Yi's situation, and reported the detailed background of the Datong Station in the Northwest Region and the Chasui Station in the North China Region that were successively destroyed by the Japanese Kwantung Army secret service. Finally, Wang Suihua was told to be careful and be sure to find out Zhou Yi's whereabouts as soon as possible.

The female major of the military commander looked at the telegram translated by Lao Liu, and did not speak for a long time - it was so surprising that the stationmaster not only did not strictly criticize his behavior of cutting first and then playing, but also did not even mention a word about the tracking time limit of the "Wind Plan"! Before that, every time the Shanxi station called, it was repeatedly emphasized that the truth of the "wind plan" should be traced within one month.

Back in her room, Wang Suihua pondered for a long time, and then called Li Yan.

Wang Suihua's house should be the original owner's living room, only a small kang with a stove against the east wall (Li Yan and Lao Liu's room is a large kang under the south window, which is obviously the bedroom of the owner and his wife), and the room is equipped with mahogany Taishi chairs and eight immortal tables; There is also a small Bogu shelf, but it is already empty.

The female major of the military commander warmed a bottle of British whiskey with hot water, and poured it into two carved glass wine glasses—wine and wine glasses, both brought from Taiyuan, and had been kept in the room of the Nanyang Hotel.

Wang Suihua did not call the director of the radio station, firstly, Lao Liu could not drink, secondly, he was alone and frightened for many days, today he finally has comrades around him and has a safe and comfortable new foothold, and he desperately wants to sleep well after dinner.

Li Yan, who entered Wang Suihua's room, saw the lamp lit on the table of the Eight Immortals and the wine bottles and wine glasses next to the lamp, and was slightly surprised, but soon relieved: this was a precursor for the female boss to analyze the current situation and situation with him overnight.

"The situation of the Anti-Japanese War in Shanxi is not optimistic, and it seems that the stationmaster's spirit is not as strong as at the beginning of the year." Wang Suihua handed the male subordinate a glass of wine, then took his own cup in his hand, rubbed the wine glass and took a sip, and then said slowly: "In the stationmaster's reply message today, there is not even a mention of the time limit for tracking the wind plan. What do you think? ”

Li Yan's mind was still full of Zhou Yi's whereabouts unknown, and he thought that Wang Suihua would definitely discuss this problem with him, but unexpectedly, the female boss's thoughts suddenly went straight to Shanxi Station.

"Well, I think it may have something to do with the fact that several stations in the north have happened one after another, and the stationmaster is worried that we are pushing too hard and that there will be some mistakes like the north." Li Yan replied calmly. The stations in the north he was referring to were Datong Station and Chasui Station, which had just been destroyed by the Japanese secret service.

Wang Suihua nodded: "What you said also makes sense." However, I still think that after the recent fall of Linfen City, the second theater of the national army has existed in name only, Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army has fled to Shaanxi, and Wei Lihuang's central army has retreated into the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, and it is not good that it will continue to retreat into Henan. In this way, the whole of Shanxi is essentially equivalent to completely falling into the control of the Japanese. ”

Li Yan tasted the whiskey and the words of the female boss, and shook his head imperceptibly: "So what, the Military Command Bureau is not a combat unit, and the fall of Shanxi does not mean that Shanxi Station has also fallen." The commanders of the Second War Zone ran away, but the stationmaster of Shanxi Station also took us back to Xi'an? ”

The military commander chuckled. She just appreciates Li Yan's humor and wisdom. But then, she still sighed and said: "That's right, but in the final analysis, the commander's headquarters in the Second World War Zone is no longer in Shanxi, and the stationmaster seems to have lost something all of a sudden." For example, the wind plan, do you want us to chase it? ”

This time, Li Yan pricked up his ears, and he looked at Wang Suihua in disbelief: "What did you say?" From the stationmaster's message, you can see what he means that he doesn't want us to continue tracking the wind plan? ”

"Not really. But have you thought about it? The stationmaster has always insisted that the so-called executor of the wind plan should be in the headquarters of the Sena Division, and in his opinion, the content of the wind plan is also related to the operation of the main force of the Sena Division to the south to attack the towns along the Tongpu Road; That's why he asked our two groups to keep an eye on the southbound army of Sena's division. However, at present, the Sena division is advancing all the way, and Chief Yan and Chief Wei are unable to form an army. To put it mildly, this battle in Shanxi is just afraid that it is about to end. In this context, how much point is it to track down the wind plan and how it was implemented? ”

The wine glass that the male lieutenant had already raised to his lips to sip froze along with the movement. Wang Suihua's words made him wake up like a dream - yes, if the war in Shanxi is over, what are we going to do after the bird plan hidden somewhere in the headquarters of the Sena Division!? But at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Li Yan's mind: the female boss always stubbornly believed that the "Wind Project" contained the evil intentions of the Japanese army to use chemical weapons; However, at the end of the battle in Jinnan, there was no news from the Second World War Zone about the use of poison gas bombs by the Japanese army. Doesn't this declare this reasoning null and void?

He made that a statement. The face of the female major of the military commander became a little embarrassed under the soft lamp light: indeed, she had always deduced that the wind plan was related to the chemical weapons of the Japanese army, and now it seems that the possibility is very small.

"That's right!" Wang Suihua slammed the carved wine glass on the table of the Eight Immortals: "The wind plan has nothing to do with chemical weapons, and it has nothing to do with the main force of the Sena Division going south; The strange and mysterious Japanese military train has never appeared on the Nantongpu Railway that we pass through! What does this mean? ”

Li Yan just swallowed a sip of wine, and then stretched out his index finger to the emotional female boss: "Explain this wind plan of the Japanese, there is another content!" ”

"That's right! And it's hidden in the weird military column, hidden in Songjiagou in Little Elm Mountain! The female major of the military commander became more and more excited, and she also stretched out an index finger to point at the male subordinate: "Tomorrow, you will give me back to the broken compound in the northern suburbs outside the city, and continue to keep an eye on the railway branch line!" ”

Li Yan, who was talking about his happiness, never thought that his female boss would be waiting for him here: that damn broken compound again! Looking at the comfortable and even somewhat luxurious room in front of him, and smelling the faint smell of perfume emitted by the female boss at the temperature of the kang and charcoal brazier in the house, Li Yan couldn't imagine that he was back to life in that shabby and dilapidated compound.

"You can go with confidence," Wang Suihua saw Li Yan's stiff expression, and couldn't help but hurriedly reassure: "I prepared roast chicken and sauce meat for you, and I also bought them from Baoyuan Restaurant." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the last sentence came out, the two of them froze at the same time.

They all thought of Zhou Yi. Last time, it was Wang Suihua and Zhou Yi who went to Baoyuan Restaurant to buy the roast chicken and sauce meat that Li Yan likes to eat, and went to the broken compound in the northern suburbs where Li Yan was squatting to comfort him.

But at this moment, the whereabouts of the comrade and the eldest sister Zhou Yi are unknown, and their life and death are uncertain.

After being silent for a while, Wang Suihua bit her lip and whispered: "Zhou Yi has not heard from him for so many days, and there is a chance that he will be more than lucky. You and I can't show up at the train station for the time being; I now regret very much that I left her husband in Linfen, and if Fang Moshu was here at this time, his face would be raw, at least he could go around the train station and freight yard quietly. ”

"How about I take advantage of the darkness to touch it tonight? What if she could find her colleague and ask? ”

Wang Suihua immediately vetoed it. The female major of the military commander believes that if Zhou Yi has already had an accident, the Japanese spies waiting in the freight yard and the railway station at this time will be more than the stones on the railway tracks!

"You don't have to worry about Wencheng here, get a bicycle tomorrow, go out of the city to the compound to squat, the railway branch line in the northern suburbs, now our most important clue." Zhou Yi's whereabouts, I will find a way to find out again. ”

The bicycles Li Yan used to ride were all borrowed from the freight yard of the railway station, but now he doesn't dare to go to the train station, so he has to buy one at a foreign company in the city. He tucked a quilt on the back shelf of his bike: the futon in the broken courtyard was disgusting.

Bidding farewell to the female boss and Lao Liu, Li Yan came out of No. 1 Yangliu Lane, rode a bicycle and did not go directly to the North City Gate, but went to the Baoyuan Restaurant in Dongcheng first. He rode his bicycle to the back door of the restaurant, instructed the men who were busy at the door and the back kitchen to help take care of it, and he slipped into the restaurant. Originally, he wanted to find an inconspicuous seat on the first floor, bury his head in eating and drinking, and then pack some to take away. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the front hall through the back door through the back kitchen, I met the white shopkeeper of the restaurant.

It was almost noon, Bai Baoyuan came out of the box on the second floor and went to the back kitchen to help pass the menu of diners, he saw a person coming out of the back kitchen and flashing into the front hall, he didn't care at first, because some diners who were familiar with the restaurant would often go in and out of the back door and back kitchen out of the way. But Bai Baoyuan suddenly reacted after passing by the diner who was approaching-

This person is the deputy manager of the trading company surnamed Li! The fragments of the memory of the shopkeeper of the restaurant were instantly connected at this moment: the boss of Deputy Manager Li was the beautiful woman surnamed Wang; They had dinner together at the restaurant; And the woman I saw that night, who was intercepted and killed by the Japanese and Meng Longsheng's special team, had come to her restaurant with the beautiful Manager Wang!

No wonder, at that time, I felt that the woman who was beaten to death by Meng Longsheng was a little familiar! Bai Baoyuan always felt that the identity of Wang Suihua and his party was a little strange, and sure enough, their people were hunted down by the Japanese!

Bai Baoyuan gave the menu to the steward of the back kitchen, and he pretended to be indifferent, wandering around the shop on the first floor, greeting old customers he knew from time to time. He had already caught a glimpse of the deputy manager Li and sat down on an unobtrusive seat in the corner, busy at noon, and there was no man to serve him to order food for the time being; Slowly, he stood in front of the other party, looked left and right, and quickly sat down across from him.

Li Yan, who had already sat down, couldn't help but be secretly taken aback: when he came in through the back door just now, he slipped over diagonally at the moment when he was about to meet Bai Baoyuan. He didn't want to be recognized by the shopkeeper, so as not to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, this guy took the initiative to sit opposite him at this time; From the face and eyes of the white shopkeeper, Li Yan also saw that something was wrong. He secretly reached into the waist of his cotton robe and grabbed the Mauser 1920 pistol he was carrying.

"Manager Li, it's been a long time since I've been to our store! Why didn't you go upstairs today? Craving something? ”

With a meaningful smile on his face, Bai Baoyuan picked up a teapot on the small wine table and poured water into a coarse porcelain teacup in front of Li Yan.

At this point, Li Yan couldn't hide it anymore, he grinned: "Good white shopkeeper!" Let's start with a lama meat, a small pot of apricot blossom village, and a bowl of donkey meat knife noodles. Go back and order something to wrap up. ”

"What's the bag? Or roast chicken and sauced meat? ”

Bai Baoyuan asked with a smile.

When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and his hand holding the shell gun sweated slightly. He looked at the restaurant shopkeeper who seemed to be smiling, and did not respond for a while. remembered the evaluation that day when Wang Suihua and Zhou Yi broke the compound in the northern suburbs and made an evaluation of this white shopkeeper.

"I'm bothering to ask, your manager Wang, are you okay now? One day, she also brought a female companion to visit our store. ”

Bai Baoyuan said this again, and the eyes of the male lieutenant of the military commander suddenly became fierce, and he had already concluded with certainty and doubt: His identity should be exposed!
