Chapter 288: The undercurrent of the military command is surging
The female major of the military commander received a telegram from the 391st Regiment of the Central Army in Great Elm Mountain. The content of the call made her both annoyed and relieved. Annoyingly, this Qin Zhongxiao has not yet sent a small force to infiltrate and attack Little Elm Mountain, as the military commander had previously requested. Fortunately, in Qin Zhongxiao's telegram, the news that the 391st Regiment had just received a batch of heavy arms from outside Junling City. Wang Suihua saw that the so-called heavy armament included mountain artillery and heavy machine guns.
Wang Suihua was not very interested in the heavy machine gun, but for the list of two Krupp mountain guns and one Japanese-style mountain gun, the female major of the military commander showed a strong interest. She clearly remembered that the last time she and Li Yan personally went to Fengdian County to supervise the battle and asked the 391st Regiment to attack Little Elm Mountain, Qin Zhongxiao did not dare to send troops on the grounds that the Japanese had heavy artillery and their own firepower was insufficient. This time, since they have captured so many heavy guns, at least in terms of firepower configuration, they can compete with the Japanese troops in Little Elm Mountain.
Of course, at present, Wang Suihua does not expect the colonel of the Central Army to attack with heavy troops immediately, as long as the other party immediately sends a small force to carry out the first action. Regarding this point, Qin Zhongxiao's statement in the telegram was: In the near future, he will send people to enter Xiaoyushu Mountain from a mountain pass near the west gate of Fengdian County, and find a path to the direction of Songjiagou Railway Station.
Holding the telegram in her hand, Wang Suihua secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that this time the 391st regiment would be able to do what it said. She gave the telegram to Li Yan and Zhao Mutou at the same time, and the spy company commander was very excited when he saw the content of the telegram, and even rubbed his hands and feet with regret and sighed: It would be too beautiful if he caught up with this battle. Of course, Wang Suihua and Li Yan both knew the mentality of the spy company commander who was eager for large-scale battles, after all, this guy was a hero who was killed from the life and death scene of the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Taiyuan.
The enthusiastic spy company commander also took out a military map and showed it to the two military commanders, and by looking at the map, Wang Suihua and Li Yan both more intuitively felt the whole picture of the 391st regiment's long-distance attack. Li Yan praised from the bottom of his heart: In the end, it was the trump card of the Central Army, with a crowd of several hundred people, forcibly marching for a day and a night, and attacking the Japanese army in two counties at both ends of the 100-mile-long highway in a row.
Wang Suihua clarified a question: two days ago, the Japanese army near the Wencheng Railway Station suddenly strengthened its vigilance, and the patrol situation in the city became tense for a while. Junling is an important link on the Tongpu railway line, and the presence of Chinese troops in that area certainly makes the Japanese army in Wencheng, which is only a few dozen miles away, nervous, lest the Chinese army will move south along the railway line after the loss of Junling.
"Seized and buried heavy munitions?" Li Yan suddenly asked Zhao Mutou with a smack: "Which army is the friendly army, and when did you bury the munitions?" ”
Zhao Mutou, who was not in the 391st regiment, where would he understand the joints, he scratched his short flat hair, and replied in a sigh for a long time: You better ask the group seat and send him another telegram. Wang Suihua shook her head, she didn't want to waste time and energy on this kind of detail.
Suddenly, the female major of the military commander thought of a question - the 391st Regiment attacked the Japanese troops in two county towns one after another, which was bound to cause panic and vigilance among the enemies in this area. On the day when Junling City was shelled, there was a lot of noise here in Wencheng, as if it was facing a great enemy. If this is calculated, it is difficult to say that the battle on the outskirts of Fengdian County will not raise the vigilance of the Japanese troops in the nearby Little Elm Mountain. Then after that, Qin Zhongxiao will face many variables when he sends a small force to infiltrate Little Elm Mountain.
"Major Wang, please forgive me, since you can think of this, we Qin Tuanzuo must also make a few more preparations for this. In fact, Tuanzuo has always attached great importance to the hostile situation in Little Elm Mountain, and he will definitely not act rashly! The spy company commander shook his head and said to Wang Suihua proudly and conceitedly.
The female major of the military commander looked at the young captain standing opposite, and responded indifferently: "It seems that I am worried about the sky, your Qin regiment has experienced a hundred battles, and you should know the depth of this little thing." Li Yan on the side saw the displeasure of the female boss, and hurriedly said to Zhao Mutou: "The team leader is also out of all considerations." If you are careful and anticipate several bad situations, there is always no mistake. Zhao Mutou wanted to distinguish a few more words, but was interrupted by the female major of the military commander - she ordered a meeting to study the plan to assassinate the captain of the detective team and the traitor Meng Longsheng.
In the past few days, Wang Suihua has successively arranged two soldiers from the special service company to follow the detective captain Meng Longsheng several times; At today's meeting, the two of them will first report on the results of the follow-up. According to their reports, the Japanese detective captain did not have any basic rules for his activities, and when he traveled from the No. 7 courtyard of Luoguxiang, sometimes he went to the detective team headquarters in the back alley of the city hall, and sometimes he went directly to the streets and alleys to inspect and arrange various actions of his subordinate members. And when he left the detective team headquarters, not only did he return to No. 7 Courtyard of Luoguxiang, but also went to some restaurants and shops in the city many times, or ate and drank, or extorted bribes; There was even a visit to a brothel called Yihong Mansion in the south of the city, from where he picked up a prostitute and returned to his home in No. 7 Luoguxiang.
As for Meng Longsheng's entourage, they usually maintain the scale of two or three people, and if they face the need to perform tasks, the number of people will increase accordingly, and they can reach more than a dozen at most. In his private residence in the No. 7 courtyard of Luoguxiang, there are also three or five spies who live with him from time to time, serving as both bodyguards and servants. The way they travel is mainly by bicycle, which should be the bicycle that the Japanese master is equipped with for the detective team. Some of the riding skills are skilled, some are unfamiliar, and Meng Longsheng himself rides a good car.
According to the description of the two, the female major of the military commander remarked Meng Longsheng's travel node on a topographic map outlined by her and Li Yan before. Since Li Yan and the spy company commander Zhao Mutou have been banned from going out recently, Wang Suihua especially asked Li and Zhao to carefully refer to this picture; At the same time, she also decided to end the confinement period of the two, and from now on, let the two of them follow the instructions of this picture and start tracking Meng Longsheng and his men.
"Major Wang, I have brought a total of five brothers to support you, and three of them have been hiding in the broken compound outside the city. Do you want to call them in this assassination operation? Zhao Mutou looked at the female major of the military commander with an eager face, and pleaded for his subordinates.
"Okay, that's what I mean," Wang Suihua nodded while looking at Zhao Mutou and Li Yan back and forth: "Please Lieutenant Li find another place in the city where people can live, preferably close to the train station." ”
It turned out that with the smooth progress of the Sena Division of the Japanese Army on the Nantongpu Road, the entire Tongpu Railway is now in full swing to prepare for the opening of the whole line. The two freight yards in the north and south of Wencheng Railway Station have recently posted notices to recruit workers. The female major of the military commander, who had learned of this situation, had already decided to send two brothers from the special service company to the call to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops at the railway station as freight yard workers. Of course, in the dilapidated compound on the northern outskirts of the city, she still had to leave two people to squat in order to monitor the mysterious military column that might enter and leave Little Elm Mountain at any time.
In the end, they decided that the two soldiers of the special service company, who now live in No. 1 Courtyard of Yangliu Lane, would work as porters in the freight yard of Wencheng Railway Station, and Li Yan would be responsible for renting a room near the freight yard as a place for the two to stay. Wang Suihua and Zhao Mutou drove out of the city, went to the compound in the northern suburbs, and picked up a soldier from the special service company to join the ranks of the No. 1 courtyard of Yangliu Lane.
After all these arrangements were completed, the female major of the military commander sent a telegram to the Shanxi station, reporting her plan for the near future to the station commander. The stationmaster's reply was very long, and he was first satisfied with the above arrangement of the second intelligence group. Immediately, the stationmaster forwarded several instructions from the general command of the northwest region to Wang Suihua:
First, the overall situation in the Second Theater of Operations in Shanxi was studied and judged, and it was determined that under the large-scale attack of the Japanese army, the national army could only retreat to the four corners of Shanxi, and in the future it would turn into a limited number of local positions to hold each other.
Second, all stations and groups in Shanxi will be in a situation of activities in the occupied areas in an all-round way, and their main task should be to gradually change to the goal of assassinating and attacking the Japanese puppet regime, in addition to spying on the military situation. and took the opportunity to plot against the traitors who defected to Japan and were pro-Japanese.
Third, intelligence shows that the Japanese army's special agencies in various parts of Shanxi have been established one after another, and they are stepping up their efforts to track and crack down on the military organs. All stations, groups, and units in Shanxi should make corresponding arrangements in a timely manner.
Fourth, the three divisions of the Communist Eighth Route Army, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Nationalist army's defense area, are greatly breaking up the whole army, going deep into the countryside of Shanxi to recruit troops and horses, illegally expanding the army, and at the same time seizing and establishing political power in disguise. The General Headquarters of the Military Command should strengthen the monitoring and collection of such intelligence in the Northwest Region and Shanxi Station, and report it at any time.
After reading the message, the female major of the military commander pondered for a long time, and her mood became heavy. Less than a year after the full-scale war began, the Second Theater of the Nationalist Army, dominated by Shanxi, lost almost all of its defense areas. In the telegram, Wang Suihua clearly refers to the He Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Xu Brigade of the Lin Division in the northwest and northeast of Shanxi, the main force of the Jin Army in Yan Xishan in the southwest of Shanxi, and the remnants of the Central Army in the southeast of Shanxi. The so-called Central Army is just a ragtag army transferred from other provinces to participate in the war, and the real descendants of the Central Army, under the leadership of Wei Lihuang, deputy commander of the Second World War Zone, are preparing to cross the Yellow River and withdraw to Henan.
It seems that the recent actions of the second intelligence group led by himself in Wencheng coincided with the task adjustment requested by Shangfeng. Again, the stationmaster did not mention a word about the "Wind Plan", indicating that he had completely abandoned this task; In the future, the tracking of the mysterious "Wind Project" can only rely on the second intelligence group to judge and act on its own!
There is also the Eighth Route Army, the female major of the military commander, who has long been suspicious of this communist army, and has always believed that the reason why the original rebel "Red Army" defected to the Nationalist Government and was willing to accept the reorganization was actually hidden with great evil intentions. They completely wanted to take advantage of the Japanese army's large-scale invasion of China and the chairman's inability to fight on both internal and external fronts. Now, as expected, she was right.
Immediately, she thought of the Second Battalion of the Eighth Route Army's Forest Division (which must be monitored by strengthening surveillance) in the vicinity of Guanmen Mountain, and the stupidity of Qin Zhongxiao of the 391st Regiment of the Central Army who was unsuspecting and blindly wanted to fight with the Eighth Route Army.
Her mood grew more and more irritable.
