On August 12, 1940, Qijiang County, the 1000th Regiment Headquarters was provisionally organized

Wang Yue wandered around in Qijiang County, feeling the atmosphere of the market in 1940, enjoying a rare comfort, very comfortable, and on the other side, Xue Feng, the magistrate of Qijiang County, personally visited the headquarters of the 1000th Regiment of the provisional formation, angrily questioning the incident of the county security team being disarmed by the Eighth Route Army on the first day, looking at the hundreds of policemen who confronted the guard company outside the headquarters, everyone was worried that the good days of the people of Qijiang County were over. It's just that no one thought that the backyard of the regimental headquarters, which should have been tense, was a different scene at this time.

"Comrade 'Jianbing', Comrade Hu Bicheng asked me to greet you on his behalf, and my superiors are very satisfied with your work in Chongqing, but while commending you, they also ask you to protect yourself and not act at will." Political commissar Zhao Gang looked at the big spy in front of him eagerly, he never thought that the person sent by his superiors to connect with him was actually an old man.

The legendary agent of the Military Command Bureau "Jian Bing", that is, the current Qijiang County magistrate Xue Feng is one of Zhao Gang's few acquaintances at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, when the two get together, there are always endless topics, and the relationship is very good, so that even if he is investigated by the Ministry of Social Affairs later, Zhao Gang still refuses to believe that Xue Feng is the hidden agent.

"Lao Zhao, please also say hello to the chief on my behalf, farewell to northern Shaanxi, I haven't seen the chief for several years." Xue Feng also had eager eyes, he was not a military commander anyway, long before joining the Fuxing Society, he joined the Central Special Branch, and later directly entered the enemy under the order of Comrade Hu Bicheng, but what he didn't expect was that he was sent back to the Soviet area to lurk by chance.

Although he is lurking in the Soviet area, Xue Feng has not had an easy time these years, except for a few people who know his true identity, he must be a good "spy" as much as possible, not only to guard against the possible agents of the Fuxing Society, but also to avoid comrades from feeling abnormal, but also to do their own work, participate in the anti-encirclement and suppression, follow the army's Long March, climb snowy mountains, cross grasslands, and then go to Hongjun University for further study, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he went to the front line to help establish the Eighth Route Army's own military logistics system, for the revolution, for the cause, He can be said to have done his best, but what he didn't expect was that he was sent back by the organization to continue his undercover work.

"The chief reminds you not to take too much care of the 1000th Provisional Regiment or Li Yunlong, you can deliberately create some friction to avoid the Military Unification Bureau suspecting you." Zhao Gang confessed that since the troops entered Qijiang County, he felt that something was wrong, why would this military commander spy take such good care of the troops of the Eighth Route Army? At first, he thought that it might be Xue Feng thinking about his feelings, but now he realized that he was simply his comrade.

"This is a strict order from the Military Command Bureau, and Director Dai also specially explained to me that I want to use my relationship with you to befriend Li Yunlong, of course, the ultimate goal is to investigate the source of our army's weapons." Xue Feng smiled helplessly, even the incident of the security team yesterday caused him to be scolded by Director Dai for a long time, but the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't instruct the security team to do anything?

"Comrade Hu Bicheng asked for instructions from northern Shaanxi, and the instructions from the higher authorities were that if we could obtain sufficient benefits and guarantees, we could sell weapons to the Chongqing government, and a small amount of gifts was also acceptable." Zhao Gang continued to explain that the undercurrent of the Chongqing government obviously could not be concealed from northern Shaanxi, in order to preserve the anti-Japanese forces as much as possible and restore the vitality of the country, after fierce discussions, northern Shaanxi decided to make further concessions, all for the war of resistance, all for the nation, all for the motherland!

"The Chongqing government means to buy a batch of Valentine infantry tanks and M1910 122mm howitzers, the M1910 122mm howitzers we sold to the Ministry of Military Affairs before, the civil engineering department has formed five artillery regiments, three of which have been engaged with the devils in Hunan Province, and the effect is very good, but Moscow does not agree to continue to sell to them, which makes the chairman very angry.

As for the Valentine infantry tank, the military attache of the embassy in London personally went to the Vickers factory to test this new tank, proving that the national army could not use any weapon against it, and our provisional 1000th regiment happened to be equipped with this kind of tank, and those people in the military and political department were very worried that those two divisions in Qijiang would not be able to stop you. Xue Feng said with a smile, the strength of the Eighth Route Army made him very happy, compared to the self-deception of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Xue Feng was more confident in the combat effectiveness of the 1000th Provisional Regiment, he understood that the two national army divisions in Qijiang County were not good at all, not to mention the equipment, even the quality of individual soldiers was far behind.

"The superior will immediately start contacting the seller and make this matter as possible as much as possible, Lao Xue, what else do you need to explain here?" Zhao Gang nodded, similar to what Wang Yue expected before, this batch of Valentine infantry tanks was really a big stimulus to the Chongqing government.

"Lao Zhao, in fact, it is still a problem of payment methods, before he said that he hoped that 50% would be paid in kind, but today Director Dai said that the Ministry of Finance hopes to increase the proportion of physical deduction to 80%, but the other 20% we can freely choose gold, silver yuan or foreign exchange." Xue Feng was a little embarrassed, although the Eighth Route Army could barter 100% of the time, which could take advantage of the Chongqing government, he was very tired.

"Lao Xue, I will ask my superiors for instructions on this, and I don't think it's a big problem." Zhao Gang nodded, Wang Yue felt that it must be no problem, what he needed was to explain this change to the Eighth Route Army Office.

"There are two lists here, they are the list of personnel placed in Qijiang by the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Military Bureau, I have checked some of them, you can dispose of the people who have been checked, and the other people are not much of a threat at present, just keep them, the organization has explained the matter of the devil spy before, and I am also investigating, and we need to cooperate with our troops in the follow-up to try to eliminate this group of devil spies in Qijiang County at one time." Xue Feng took out two pieces of white paper written in ciphertext potion from his arms and handed them to Zhao Gang.

"You also have to be careful, you must not be careless, especially on the side of the military commander, I still don't think something is right, and there are the Japanese, their secret service agencies are too complicated, the organization is duplicated, the powers and responsibilities are not clear, and it is difficult to cut it off at one time." Zhao Gang is now in charge of the counter-espionage group of the 1000th Provisional Regiment, and in the past few months, he has seen the cruelty of the hidden front.

"The military commander has an intelligence, I think I need to synchronize with Lao Zhao, there is a new intelligence person in charge of the Yamamoto army, which is our old opponent, the former captain of the Heyuan County Military Police Ichiro Hirata Nakasa, but now he is already a big Zuo." Xue Feng nodded in agreement, and suddenly remembered something.

"He? According to the intelligence of the Ministry of Social Affairs, this Ichiro Hirata is not an ordinary person, your old Xue specifically mentioned him, could it be that this guy is now in Chongqing? Zhao Gang still has a deep impression of Ichiro Hirata, and the soldiers he sent to Heyuan County to buy herbs were arrested by this guy several times, causing great losses to the 1000th Provisional Regiment.

"Yes, he is in Chongqing, and the military commander suspects that Yamamoto's troops are likely planning a big move, but they are not sure yet." Xue Feng nodded, extremely serious, although Yamamoto's troops have been active in the past few months, they have never made a big move in Chongqing, which is obviously not in line with Yamamoto Kazuki's style, this guy even dares to assassinate the general of the northern power, what else can he scruple about?

"Is it the Standing Chairman?" Zhao Gang's voice unconsciously became a little louder.

"It's possible, but the security forces around the Standing Chairman are too strong, and the military commanders feel that it is unlikely, but in Chongqing, there are too many targets worthy of Yamamoto Kazuki's attention, and it is impossible to determine at all, Director Dai is probably praying now, Yamamoto Kazuki is too difficult." Xue Feng shook his head, he was in charge of Qijiang County full-time, but even so, he was required to participate in the relevant meetings, and some of his subordinates were mobilized to participate in the search and arrest of Ichiro Hirata.

"Is it possible that Comrade Hu Bicheng is possible?" Zhao Gang suddenly thought of a possibility.

"No, shouldn't they go to northern Shaanxi?" Xue Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head gently, but his brows were still tightly locked, this feeling was very bad, compared to the assassination of the spies, the attack of the Yamamoto special forces was obviously more fierce and more difficult to defend, this is a serious asymmetry, even if the 359 Brigade is already trying to form a special force, it is still very difficult to prevent this Yamamoto force.

"You left the border area relatively early, you may not know very well, not long after you left, the central security department in northern Shaanxi cracked a Japanese spy sleeper group, and the reason why this sleeper group was exposed was that they tried to set up a triangulation device in northern Shaanxi to navigate the aircraft, and our people thought that they were just going to make a forward station for Yamamoto's troops." Zhao Gang sighed, don't look at the actions of Yamamoto's troops against the top of the Eighth Route Army so far, but he knows that in order to guard against Yamamoto's troops, the Eighth Route Army has to consume more manpower and material resources, and the loss is not small.

"The military commander wants to return the favor to the other side, and has also organized a special force, wanting to infiltrate Jinling or Beiping, assassinate Japanese puppet high-ranking officials, or attack important military targets, and even plan to airdrop Tokyo to assassinate the emperor, but the current training effect is not ideal, I heard that they also want to find instructors from Hans to come and help, and it is a high salary." Xue Feng mentioned that the special forces of the military command are also full of hope, regardless of whether the camp is different or not, after all, it is Chinese, and it is the same in fighting devils.

"Who would have thought that one Yamamoto Kazuki would make a mess of the war situation, and it would simply completely change the rhythm of the war mode!" Zhao Gang sighed.

"In Europe, Germany has won a near-complete victory, and in Asia we are being pressed and beaten by the Japanese, and the situation of the War of Resistance will be even more difficult in the future." Xue Feng also nodded.
