Masao Kojima's calculations were very delicate, and he first had to quietly set up and operate a temporary transfer station within this household. And after the start of operation, it is necessary to secretly observe and test whether this secret transfer station is not noticeable. To this end, he asked two members of the plainclothes team, who were proficient in Chinese, to enter the house disguised as a passing leather merchant to ask for water.

They quickly ascertained the composition of their family members: a couple with a young child, and the elderly woman was the child's maternal grandmother. And importantly, through the conversation, it was also clear that the family had no relatives in the local area, which was very crucial, because once it was up and running, the transit station would have to be cut off from all contact with the outside world.

When it was time to see the dagger, the two "fur merchants" suddenly tore off their warm masks and showed off the southern 11-type pistol under the cotton clothes, which was obviously a murderous weapon with the mark of the Japanese army, and instantly stunned the host, who had always been hospitable and warm. Soon, Masao Kojima, who was waiting outside, and a group of Japanese soldiers in plainclothes swarmed and quickly occupied all corners of the house.

The head of the secret service briefly listened to the reports of the two men who had come in earlier, and immediately decided to leave the child and his mother as cover, and the father and grandmother of the child to be transferred immediately. His idea was that the male owner of the courtyard was impersonated by his own subordinates, and that the presence of women and children in the courtyard was not easy to attract attention and suspicion from the outside world. However, if the child's real father and grandmother are left behind, there is a risk of supervision.

The frightened mother of the toddler was told that she must stay at home and obey and cooperate, otherwise her man and mother who were sent to Wencheng would be punished; And as long as she is willing to cooperate, after a while, she will send their mother and son to the city to reunite with their families.

However, the real reality is that in order to prevent the news from leaking, her man and mother were stabbed to death with daggers by plainclothes agents of the secret service on the way to Wencheng, and they hastily dug a pit to bury the matter. Since then, the male owner of this family has changed, in addition to this fake male owner, there are four other plainclothes hidden in the courtyard.

Kojima Masao gave them the task of quietly and steadily guarding this place, and once the team to capture the comfort women succeeded, they would first send the women to be temporarily detained as soon as possible, and then find a suitable time at night to transfer them to the Songjiagou secret camp in Little Elm Mountain. The head of the secret service believes that it is not advisable to transport the women of China there too frequently, so as not to be seen by outsiders. Of course, this temporary transfer point must also be kept strictly secret, and if it is suspected or even attacked, it must quickly destroy the evidence and retreat.

After arranging this temporary transfer point, Kojima Masao ordered his subordinates to send a report to Hagiwara Akira, the brigade commander stationed in Bunjo, and after receiving the report, Major General Hagiwara immediately telegraphed Hirai Teraichi, the commander of the military police in Little Elm Mountain, to take up the temporary transfer point and begin to familiarize himself with the surrounding situation; The arrest squad that had just been formed by the first gendarmerie of Hiraiji Temple also went out of the mountain together, and with the detachment (author's note: one detachment of the Japanese army was composed of 13 people) as a unit, it arrived at a barracks outside the southern city of Wencheng. The barracks was also newly established, and an infantry squadron of the Nara Brigade of the Otsuka Wing was stationed here as a military backup for the covert capture of comfort women.

The commander of the Hagiwara Akira Brigade personally inspected the barracks outside the southern castle.

The brigade commander, Major General, was not interested in this barracks, which contained nearly 200 men, but out of caution and secrecy, he did not go to the secret transfer point more than ten miles away. Masao Kojima returned here to meet with the brigade commander and gave a detailed report on each step he had taken, and the latter listened to it with satisfaction.

"Secrecy is still the most important thing," Hagiwara told Masao Kojima: "The arrest of the comfort women in Taiyuan has been very successful, and there has been no news so far." It is hoped that this action will also achieve consistent results. ”

The head of the secret service felt a little uncomfortable: the arrest of Taiyuan pointed out by the brigade commander Major General could be said to have been presided over by Hirai Temple alone, and of course, there was the brigade headquarters and the forces of the Otsuka Wing at that time as the backing. And this time the action plan was formed after he led his subordinates to do the arrest test, and the "fake Nakasa" Hirai Teraichi came to pick peaches. He secretly hoped that this time he would be no less than the actions in Taiyuan City. Speaking of secrecy, at present, in addition to the people from the gendarmerie of the Songjiagou secret camp, the thirteen plainclothes members of a plainclothes detachment brought by Masao Kojima have also been informed of the purpose of the "Wind Plan". Other than that, no more people know the inside story.

"Rest assured, General, that this sparsely populated and uninformed country south of Wencheng and parallel to the railway line is very beneficial to the execution of our plan. What needs to be guarded against is several villages close to the western foot of Guanmen Mountain, among which Hekou Village and Xiping Village are the old places where the Eighth Route Army is entrenched, which is also the biggest threat to our operations. Masao Kojima spoke eloquently.

Hagiwara couldn't help frowning, he looked at the head of the secret service, but didn't speak. The commander of the island had just returned from reconnaissance from the two villages where the Eighth Route Army was entrenched, and intelligence showed that although the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army's Forest Division had been attacked by the imperial army, it showed no sign of retreating and abandoning its original defense area.

As if sensing the concerns of the brigade commander, Major General Kojima, Kojima added: "The western foot of Guanmen Mountain is more than 20 miles away from the Tongpu railway line, and the area of action we have chosen is closer to the railway line; I think that the Eighth Route Army, which suffered heavy losses in the night attack, did not have the strength to carry out activities on the Tongpu Railway in the past and now. ”

"Don't be careless, the distance of more than 20 miles, theoretically speaking, the Eighth Route Army is fully capable of infiltrating it, maybe they can't send any heavy troops, but only a few small forces are enough to interfere with our arrest operation; It has to be foolproof. ”

The head of the secret service smacked his lips, and while observing Hagiwara Akira's expression, he asked tentatively: "General, if the Nantongpu Road front is going well, can you consider asking the division commander to send a powerful force now to attack the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division at the western foot of Guanmen Mountain again?" After all, the task of rescuing Warrant Officer Takamatsu of the Cavalry Wing is still unresolved. ”

Before these words fell, Hagiwara Akira's frowning brows were not completely stretched, but he was somewhat relieved, and he looked at the surroundings of the temporary military tent with some pretense and mystery, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Kojima-kun, when it comes to the front line of Nantong Pulu, you must know that a part of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division was also once coerced in that area to fight with the main force of our division a few days ago?" ”

"What the general said, it should be Lin Shi Chen Brigade, right? It is reported that their division commander Lin Biao personally took the Chen Brigade and haunted the banks of the Fen River on Nantongpu Road. Why, is there an unfavorable battle report from this communist army? ”

"Accurate information from Lieutenant General Sena's division headquarters that Lin Biao, a fierce general of the communist army, was shot and wounded on the Jinnan front in the previous stage, and his whereabouts are currently unknown; The post of commander of the Lin Division has been represented by Chen Guang, the commander of the Chen brigade. ”

Kojima Masao's face suddenly showed joy - Lin Biao can be called the top general of the Eighth Route Army, and the first part of the Miura Brigade of the Itagaki Division of the North China Front Army was ambushed by Lin Biao's subordinates at Pingxingguan in northern Shanxi last year, and the losses were not small.

"Has Lin Biao been killed? It was the brave troops of my division? Masao Kojima asked urgently.

Hagiwara's smile became mysterious: "It shouldn't be the record of the imperial army." According to the news transmitted by our spy personnel lurking inside Yan Xishan, the gun shot by Lin Biao was done by the sentinel of the Commander's Department of Yan Xishan's Second War Zone. It is said that Lin Biao rode to Yan Xishan for a meeting at that time, but he was dressed in the uniform and steel helmet of the captured imperial army, and as a result, Yan Xishan's men mistook him for our imperial army and horses, shot him, and fell off his horse with a bullet on the spot. It is said that his life was saved, but his vitality has been greatly damaged. ”

The commander of the secret service, who had always been serious, almost shouted good, he suppressed his joy, and said to Hagiwara Akira: "Lin Biao led the main force of his division to attack the baggage troops of the commander of the Itagaki Division with more and less, and won by luck; But less than half a year ago, it ended up in this end, which can be regarded as the retribution that the people of China said was unpleasant. It's just that I don't know if the color of the imperial army uniform he wore when he was shot was captured from the baggage wing of the Itagaki Division? If so, it is even more ironic. ”

The brigade commander, Major General, couldn't help but shake his head gently, looked at Kojima Masao in front of him with a smile, and sighed in his heart: After all, the head of the secret service is not an official who charges at the front line, and it is too ridiculous to think of retribution or not retribution in the first place.

"Kojima-kun, Lin Biao was shot and wounded, and the real significance is that he made the so-called Lin Shi leaderless. It is said that among the three divisions of the Communist Eighth Route Army, the combat effectiveness of the Lin Division is the strongest. Inevitably, isn't the Eighth Route Army that is being dealt with in Guanmen Mountain at the moment also the first part of the Lin Division? ”

"That's right, general, this small force of the Eighth Route Army is from the Lin Division, but it is not from the Chen Brigade led by Lin Biao in Jinnan, but from the Lin Division Xu Brigade whose main force is flowing along the Zhengtai Road in Taihang Mountain."

"Whether it is Shi Chen Brigade or Xu Brigade, they are all serving Lin Biao's division commander alone. At present, Lin Biao's serious injury will obviously form a heavy blow to the confidence of the entire Eighth Route Army Lin Division. Lieutenant General Sena was also excited when he mentioned this. I think that at present, our division has local contact and exchange of fire with the Lin Division of the Communist Eighth Route Army on the front line and in the rear; You and I don't care about the front line, but the first division of the forest division at the western foot of Guanmen Mountain is destined to become the enemy that you and I will focus on. This involved both the implementation of secret plans and the rescue of prisoners of war of the cavalry wing. We should take advantage of the fall of Master Lin and him hard! ”

The commander of the Japanese brigade waved his arms fiercely, and his eyes radiated a fierce light.
