The commander of the Hagiwara Brigade did not agree with Kojima Masao's suggestion, on the grounds that the Eighth Route Army had always pursued the strategy of running away after the battle, and if they did not send troops to rush over quickly, they were afraid that the other side would quickly disappear, and it would be difficult to catch them again.

"Since you and I both think that the Eighth Route Army is the biggest hidden danger that threatens the Songjiagou secret camp, then you shouldn't hesitate anymore," Hagiwara Akira looked directly at the head of the secret service in the car: "Otsuka is in Fengdian, commanding the remnants of the Zhina Army on the outskirts of the county, I think it's best to strike while the iron is hot!" ”

Masao Kojima said almost beggingly, "General, please think again. If the Eighth Route Army has heavy troops assembled in that area, then what we have to do is not only not to go to the attack, but to shrink the defense of the three points and one line to ensure the safety of the Songjiagou secret camp; Then ask the commander of the Sena Division for reinforcements! ”

Hagiwara asked with some suspicion: "Kojima-kun, do you really think that the Eighth Route Army is so terrifying that the existing forces we have at hand are not enough to deal with it?" You must know that General Sena is currently making every effort to open up the Nantongpu Road, and at this time he asks for help from the main force of the division, is it really necessary? ”

"Therefore, I beg Your Excellency the Brigade Commander to give me two days to find out the number of eight roads fighting against the cavalry of the Mongolian Army," Kojima Masao looked at Du Dongqiang, who was standing outside the car window: "If the other party is only at the battalion level, I believe that Captain Otsuka's subordinates will be able to deal with it; But if this Eighth Route Army reaches the brigade size, it must ask for help from the division - you know, in the Great Elm Mountain, there is still a fierce and ruthless enemy of the Central Army that has not been eliminated. These two threats are close to Songjiagou, and they should not be taken lightly. ”

"Okay, I'll give you two days to quickly find out the enemy situation in Guanmen Mountain." After all, Major General Hagiwara still trusted the judgment and decision-making ability of the head of the secret service, and although he was reluctant, he still agreed to the other party's request: "Leave half of this cavalry battalion of the Mongolian Xinjiang Army in Wencheng, and the rest return to Fengdian as soon as possible." Once it is decided to use troops against Guanmen Mountain, they will lead the way on both sides, and they will make meritorious contributions! ”

Wang Suihua, a female major of the military commander, was tied with her hands tied by the reverse scissors, blindfolded, and escorted out of the farmhouse in the northern suburbs of Fengdian with her radio director.

At this time, it was close to nine o'clock in the evening, because this farmhouse was adjacent to the road from Junling to Fengdian, and it was only a few miles away from the north gate of Fengdian, Zhao Mutou and his subordinates of the special service company discussed and decided to act in two ways, one was led by Zhao Mutou himself, escorted these two men and women of strange origin and the military radio station, walked through the big elm mountain, and returned to the 391st regiment headquarters in Xiaozhai; On the other way, two soldiers of the special service company who could drive and two people drove the very dazzling Chevrolet sedan away from here, and temporarily ran northward on the road to Junling, finding a place to hide the car on the way and waiting for the instructions of the regiment headquarters.

Zhao Mutou had already considered the possibility that the man and woman were friends rather than enemies, so he left a way back for the other party, otherwise, the car could not drive back to the mountains, and could not leave the enemy, so it should be burned down.

At this time, Wang Suihua listened to the whispers of this group of plainclothes armed men, and became more and more sure that they were the national army and not the Japanese puppet enemy, and a hanging heart gradually relaxed, and she was also quite relieved to see that the other party handled her car more safely. She thought: Well, go with them, it seems that the garrison of this national army is in the nearby mountains, if you can contact and control them, it should be helpful for the next action against this place.

The mountain road was rugged, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction and path when they stumbled to the village, and it was already the second half of the night. Zhao Mutou wanted to detain the two of them first and then go back to sleep, and report to the group seat after dawn, but Wang Suihua found out about his attempt and immediately issued a warning:

"Brother, we are important military members of the national government, we have an important mission, we can't delay, you must immediately wake up your commander to talk to me, otherwise, even your boss can't afford the sin of delaying the military situation!"

Just now all the way into the defense area of this team, Wang Suihua witnessed the sentry posts in Tonggou and Xiaozhai, and saw soldiers in the uniforms of the national army.

After all, the commander of the spy company was different from ordinary combat officers, and he still knew a little bit about the joints, and then thought of the Chevrolet car, the military radio and code book, and the Browning pistol, so he immediately decided not to wait for dawn, and personally ran to the front of the house of the regiment seat to report.

At the regiment headquarters, after listening to Mu's narration, Qin Zhongxiao, who was completely sleepy, met with Wang Suihua with a slightly curious attitude. Seeing the richly dressed and good-looking woman in front of him, the colonel of the Central Army couldn't help but muttered in his heart; Out of gentlemanly demeanor, he still took the lead in introducing himself:

"Colonel of the 391st Regiment of the Central Army, Qin Zhongxiao; Dare to ask the lady's name, where does it come from? ”

Wang Suihua, who had been loosened, did not answer, but asked the colonel a few more questions, asking the number of the brigade, division, and army to which he belonged and the name of the commander, Qin Zhongxiao hesitated, but still recounted it without concealment-anyway, this woman is under his control, and he is not afraid that she is spying on the Japanese pseudo-intelligence.

"Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government, Major, Wang Suihua," the female spy of the military commander reported herself home, and at the same time pointed to Lao Liu next to her: "This is my radio director." ”

Hearing the name of the military commander, Qin Zhongxiao was still taken aback, so far, this soldier in his career has never dealt with the military commander.

"Major Wang? How do you prove your identity? ”

Wang Suihua has already made a bamboo in his chest: "Commander Qin, does he have a radio station here?" I can use my radio station to contact my superiors, and they will send a note to your superiors, and you can use your radio to ask your superiors for confirmation. ”

Good. The colonel of the Central Army approved of this plan in his heart, but-

"My radio station didn't work, and it was broken during the Taiyuan war." Qin Zhongxiao said dryly.

"Then how do you get in touch with your superiors?"

"If we don't contact us, we won't be able to contact Shangfeng when we are in Fengdian."

Wang Suihua frowned, looking at the colonel of the Central Army standing under the dim oil lamp, with a straight nose and a sharp eyebrow, calculating the authenticity of his words.

"Okay, I'll contact my superiors and ask them to contact the Commander's Department of the Second War Zone, and then give you instructions," Wang Suihua glanced at the radio director beside him, who was already quite shrunken after the cold wind on the mountain road tonight: "Commander Qin should not be controlled by Chief Yan, but by Chief Wei, right?" ”

Qin Zhongxiao shrugged his shoulders slightly, expressing his agreement; This action couldn't help but remind Wang Suihua of her subordinate Li Yan: Is that bastard still honestly guarding next to the railway branch line at the moment?

"If you are allowed to send a report, how do I know that you are sending it to the military commander? What if you send it to the Japanese army? Am I not all exposed here? Qin Zhongxiao asked expressionlessly.

Wang Suihua sneered: "Captain Qin is too self-indulgent, right?" The Japanese army is attacking southwest Jin and Tongpu Road on a large scale at the moment, will it have the heart to take care of you, a lone brigade in the deep mountains and remote areas? Besides, if you ask this subordinate of yours, he blindfolded me all the way, how do I know what the hell this place is! ”

The colonel of the Central Army was happy, glanced approvingly at Zhao Mutou who was standing aside, and said to Wang Suihua: "Introduction, Captain and Company Commander of the Special Service Company, Zhao Mutou." ”

"Excuse me!" Wang Suihua waved her hand impatiently, she was accidentally captured by this spy company commander as an agent of the military commander major, and she was deeply ashamed in her heart: "Let's talk about the topic, I said that I have important military affairs, and I don't have time to delay here!" ”

Zhao Mutou couldn't help but be annoyed, and blurted out: "You little girl, what are you arrogant?" Now I don't say you're not a Japanese spy! ”

Wang Suihua's face turned cold, and there was a hint of murder in her eyes when she looked at Zhao Mutou.

Qin Zhongxiao began to play a round game, and he decided to let the other party use the radio: this woman was right, there was no way for her to know what this place was; And if her self-reported identity is true, then she is a mere colonel and regimental commander, and she doesn't want to offend the military commander with a deep background.

He asked Wang Suihua to send a report to the "Military Commander Shangfeng", and then looked for his division commander through the headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander: "Please ask your Shangfeng to ask my division commander, at the Battle of Xinkou last year, at the end of October, what high ground did my 391st Regiment have to counterattack the Japanese army under the order of the division commander?" What troops did the division commander support our regiment at that time? ”

Liu Qiang, an elder of the radio station, sent the following message to Shanxi Station:

During the mission, he was misunderstood by the 391st Regiment of the National Army outside Fengdian City and is currently imprisoned. In order to find out my true identity, Qin Zhongxiao, the colonel of the regiment, asked for verification from the headquarters of the Second War Zone.

The message is followed by an appendix of questions asked by Qin Zhongxiao.

But the radio station at Shanxi Station obviously didn't turn on, and after repeating it several times, Wang Suihua asked Lao Liu to stop and send it again after dawn. Qin Zhongxiao confiscated the radio station and scheduled to resend it at 10 a.m.

"I'm sorry you two, but I have to wronged you, especially you, ma'am." Qin Zhongxiao ordered Wang Suihua and Lao Liu to be re-tied up and detained in different rooms. He had already heard the wood say that the woman was very good at punching and kicking.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the telegram was successfully sent, and the Shanxi station quickly replied: immediately report to the northwest region, and ask Wang Suihua to keep the radio station on once every two hours and wait for the call.

While waiting for the call from Shanxi Station, Qin Zhongxiao treated him politely, he almost believed the other party, and asked the chief of staff to take out tea to entertain these two people who claimed to be agents of the military command. Wang Suihua asked the colonel of the Central Army the question she had thought about at night:

"Your army claims to have been defeated by the Japanese army from Fengdian, do you know the subsequent massacre of Fengdian?"

Qin Zhongxiao's face became unnatural, and this woman poked at her sore spot at once: "Qin has no command and is unable to protect Fengdian, causing the people to suffer." ”

The chief of staff was very unwilling, so he said that the 391st Regiment had just organized a counterattack on Fengdian. This surprised Wang Suihua - no wonder the Japanese army in Fengdian was heavily guarded, did not allow anyone to enter or leave the county, and organized troops to clear outside the city, it turned out that the 391 regiment was killed back to the carbine! The second intelligence group arranged for Fang Moshu to come to Fengdian to reconnoitre, he should know about this matter, I am afraid there is no way to inform himself in time.

Wang Suihua paid her respects to the colonel of the Central Army and the 391st Regiment, which allowed the conversation to continue, and she tried to find out from Qin Zhongxiao's mouth the intention of the Japanese army to suddenly attack and occupy Fengdian, but the latter spoke cautiously and revealed nothing more to her.

"So what is the purpose of Major Wang's visit to Fengdian? Since, as you said, the Japanese army is attacking southwest Jin and Tongpu Road on a large scale at this moment, so why did the military commander run to this county town deep in the mountains and remote areas? Qin Zhongxiao asked with a little teasing.

At this moment, Wang Suihua had the heart to inquire about the blockade of Little Elm Mountain by the Japanese army, but after thinking about it, she swallowed the words again.

"Haha, no one trusts anyone!" The colonel of the Central Army saw the other party's unspeakable secrets and made a generous joke. Wang Suihua couldn't help but glance at Qin Zhongxiao, feeling that this colonel had a sense of humor.

After a whole day, every time the Shanxi Station of the Military Command sent a telegram at the appointed time, it continued to wait, saying that the headquarters had already cared about it and personally intervened. Obviously, the work of verification is not so easy to do.

Finally, in the evening, Elder Liu got the telegram of the reply, and he handed over the translated telegram to the team leader, and Wang Suihua immediately asked someone to find Qin Zhongxiao.

"Colonel, your division commander replied as follows, at the end of October last year in Xinkou, he asked all of your unit to participate in the counterattack against the Japanese army on the 956 heights, recapture the occupied heights, and temporarily assign all the special service companies directly under the division headquarters to your department."

Qin Zhongxiao was inexplicably excited, not only to verify the identity of the female spy of the military commander. He stood up and saluted Wang Suihua with a standard military salute:

"Colonel Qin Zhongxiao, Colonel of the 391st Regiment, salute you!"
