Li Changshui, the head of the enemy engineering department, is 27 or 28 years old, has ordinary appearance, dark skin, and looks much older than his actual age. Such people are thrown into the crowd, which are easily overlooked by others, but if you observe carefully, his eyes are shrewd and capable.

Xu Dalong sighed a little, believing that the brigade commander is just to pick people, and only such unobtrusive people are the agents.

Li Changshui held Xu Dalong's hand and said enthusiastically: "You are Xu Dalong, and the brigade commander admires you very much. When I see you today, I am indeed a handsome talent."

To be honest, Xu Dalong's appearance is not as handsome as a handsome man, but looks honest and honest.

Although Li Changshui's words were suspected of being flattered, they were still very useful in Xu Dalong's ears.

He said modestly: "I dare not take it. In the future, please give me more advice from Section Chief Li."

Xu Dalong introduced Zheng Xirong and Zhao Xiaoman to Li Changshui and asked, "What does Section Chief Li need us to do?"

Li Changshui introduced his mission to Xu Dalong and others.

During the war years, the headquarters would often move according to the needs of the situation. In Ping'an County, the area is only more than 150 kilometers away from the headquarters' current location. A Japanese infantry brigade suddenly appeared here, which had to attract the attention of the headquarters.

In order to ensure the safety of the headquarters, the brigade commander specially sent Li Changshui to understand the purpose of the Japanese army coming here.

Li Changshui said: "There are no underground parties in this area, so I can say that I am in the dark here. Therefore, this reconnaissance mission mainly depends on you to complete it."

Xu Dalong has no resources or connections for Ping'an County.

Zhao Xiaoman knew Hu Mangui, who was just an ordinary citizen and was timid and afraid of things, so he couldn't help.

Wang Jinke is very familiar with Ping'an County and can provide some help. Unfortunately, Xu Dalong only cared about pulling him into the group, but Wang Jinke was unable to show up in Ping'an County and the road was cut off.

The only thing Xu Dalong can have some hope now is Wang Xinmin. No matter what, he helped Xu Dalong and others last time.

After discussing with Li Changshui, Xu Dalong decided to contact Wang Xinmin again to see if he could find some clues from him.

Wang Jinke's counterfeiting skills are really good. This time he forged the ID card of Yangquan's merchant for Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong and Zhao Xiaoman. They opened a room at Dongsheng Inn and lived there openly.

That night, Wang Xinmin fell asleep for several hours before he woke up.

After waking up, he found that he was covered with a quilt. It was just such a small detail that made Wang Xinmin slightly moved.

After getting up in the morning, he went to work in the clinic as usual and found that there were many Japanese military police and pseudo-police standing in front of the clinic.

Wang Xinmin was a little nervous when he knew something was wrong. But he remembered what Xu Dalong said and didn't know anything. So he walked over with the courage.

Most of the Japanese soldiers in the military police took turns to stand guard at the clinic. They knew Wang Xinmin and did not stop him, so they let him in.

When Wang Xinmin heard that someone had died, he was a little worried because there was not only the Japanese military policeman on duty last night, but also his colleague. The two had a good relationship, so he didn't want something to happen to his colleague.

He first came to the office of the clinic director and saw his colleague describing the situation at night to the clinic director Kazuo Kimizu, with fear.

He said, "I slept very hard last night and didn't hear anything. After getting up in the morning, I was about to go out for breakfast, but then I found something happened in the duty room, which scared me. Fortunately, the bandits didn't know that I was on duty upstairs, otherwise I would have suffered too."

Seeing that his colleagues were safe and sound, Wang Xinmin had a little more trust in Xu Dalong and others. At least they were not innocent people who killed them.

Since Wang Xinmin was not present, no one came to ask about him about the matter. In addition, the wall of the duty room has provided clues about the murderer, and the matter passed quickly.

Due to the deaths in the clinic and the loss of a large number of medicines, the Japanese strengthened their preventions against the clinic, increasing the number of Japanese military police officers on duty to two every night, and also arranged for pseudo-police police to stand guard in front of the gate.

These kings Xinmin went to work as usual, and everything was very calm. He quickly forgot about what Xu Dalong and others had come.

At 10:30 that night, Wang Xinmin was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a gentle knock from the door.

Wang Xinmin felt a little strange because the door of his house was closed. If someone came, he should knock on the door. How could he knock on the door inside him?

He asked vigilantly, "Who is it?"

Xu Dalong's voice came from outside, and he said, "Doctor Wang, it's me."

Wang Xinmin heard Xu Dalong's voice. He came to the door and did not open the door. He said unhappily: "Is there such a big thing in the clinic and I dare to come to me. Isn't this causing me trouble?"

Xu Dalong said: "Doctor Wang, don't worry, no one knows that I'm here. I'm not here to cause trouble for you, but to help you."

The reason why Xu Dalong spoke like this is because when he talked to Wang Xinmin last time, he had already heard that Wang Xinmin had a difficult time saying that he must have some difficulties and could not solve them, so he stayed in this Japanese clinic in the county town.

Xu Dalong guessed correctly. When Wang Xinmin heard this, he moved his heart and opened the door bolt.

The only one who followed Xu Dalong was Zheng Xirong. He stayed in the yard to be responsible for the alert. Xu Dalong was talking to Wang Xinmin inside.

Xu Dalong said: "Doctor Wang, the batch of medicines we got saved many anti-Japanese soldiers. On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you."

After saying that, he took out a cloth bag, placed it on the table, and said, "These 30 oceans are a little bit of fun, so please accept it."

Seeing that Xu Dalong was sincere and focused on his work, Wang Xinmin felt a little more favorable to him.

He didn't go to get the money and said, "Nothing, I didn't help you, don't thank me."

Xu Dalong said: "Doctor Wang, no matter what you did for the anti-Japanese military and civilians, we will always remember. Last time I invited you to join the Eighth Route Army, you seemed to have a hidden secret. Can you tell me about your difficulties? As long as I can do it, it will definitely help you solve it."

Wang Xinmin didn't say anything, and was pondering there, as if weighing the feasibility of this matter.

In order to increase his understanding of Wang Xinmin, Xu Dalong asked: "Doctor Wang, you said you and your teacher are from Taiyuan Higher Medical School, how could you come to this Ping'an County?"

Wang Xinmin sighed and said, "It's hard to say it, it's better not to say it."

Xu Dalong smiled and said, "It's okay, let's just chat. If you really have any difficulties, I will do my best to help you solve them."

Only then did Wang Xinmin start talking about his own experience.

It turned out that after Wang Xinmin graduated from school, he stayed with his teacher Kazuo Shimizu and became an assistant. Kazuo Shimizu's wife is also a professor at this higher medical school. She also has an assistant named Su Xiaoyan, who is Wang Xinmin's lover. The two of them are in love and have reached the point of discussing marriage.

More than a year ago, someone from Taiyuan Special High School suddenly found Kazuo Shimizu and Wang Xinmin, and asked them to come to Ping'an County to open a clinic for the Japanese army.

Of course, Ichimo Shimizu and Wang Xinmin were unwilling to do so. Ichimo Shimizu argued with reason. Unexpectedly, the people from the Special High School class actually threatened them with Ichimo Shimizu's wife and Su Xiaoyan, and they had to come here.

Kazuo Kimizu asked someone to inquire. After he and Wang Xinmin left, his wife and Su Xiaoyan were taken into surveillance by the Japanese, which was equivalent to their hostages.

Wang Xinmin really wanted to fly away with Su Xiaoyan, but unfortunately, he was powerless and could only stay in Ping'an County.

Wang Xinmin's narrative made Xu Dalong feel a little puzzled. He always felt that this matter was not that simple, but based on the clues in front of him, he could not make an accurate judgment for the time being.

Xu Dalong decided to fight for Wang Xinmin first. He said, "Doctor Wang, are your family and Su Xiaoyan in Taiyuan?"

Wang Xinmin said: "No. My home is from Luliang, and Su Xiaoyan's home is from Tianzhen. We came to Taiyuan to study."

Xu Dalong said: "That's good, so that you won't involve your family. Doctor Wang, if you want, I can help you rescue your fiancée Miss Su from Taiyuan and then send you to the place you want to go."

"Really?" Wang Xinmin became a little excited.

Xu Dalong said lightly: "I promise."

Xu Dalong did not swear and sweared, his tone of speech was very calm, but the confidence he exuded gave Wang Xinmin a strong sense of trust.

Xu Dalong asked Su Xiaoyan in detail about her situation in Taiyuan City, and then asked Wang Xinmin to write a handwritten letter to win Su Xiaoyan's trust.

Wang Xinmin is a very smart person. He knew that Xu Dalong and others would never come to Ping'an County to help him, but they would definitely want to know something through him.

He took the initiative to say, "Mr. Xu, if you have any questions, I will definitely serve you."

Xu Dalong returned to the inn and reported to Li Changshui about his meeting with Wang Xinmin.

Li Changshui has rich experience in intelligence work. He also felt that it was not that simple for Hikaru Kiyoshi to come to Ping'an County. It seemed that there was some secret hidden in the middle. However, his main task for coming to Ping'an County this time was to find out the situation of the Japanese infantry brigade, so he decided to temporarily put Hikaru Kiyoshi to leave things in trouble.

The next night, Xu Dalong came to Wang Xinmin's residence again.

Wang Xinmin's teacher, Kazuo Shimizu, is a Japanese, and Wang Xinmin also learned fluent Japanese. Someone from the Japanese army was stationed in Ping'an County. He came to the clinic for medical treatment. Wang Xinmin paid attention to the conversation between them and roughly understood the situation of this Japanese army.

This Japanese army was the Hirata Brigade, the 71st Regiment of the 36th Brigade of the 18th Division of the First Army stationed in Shanxi. As for what the captain was called Hirata, he didn't know.

That's all Wang Xinmin can understand, but this is enough for Xu Dalong.

Speaking of the Japanese army's organization, Li Changshui should have known a lot about the Japanese army. If he provides this situation to him, he should be able to see some clues.

After returning to the inn, Xu Dalong told Li Changshui about this situation.

Li Changshui said to himself: "The 36th Japanese Brigade is stationed in Fenyang, and the 71st Regiment is in Xiushui County, 200 kilometers away from Ping'an County. What did they send an infantry brigade here?"

Xu Dalong searched the situation in the northwest Shanxi that he knew in history, and suddenly thought of something. He asked: "Secretary Li, is there an Okazaki brigade in the 71st Regiment of the Japanese army?"

Li Changshui shook his head and said, "No."

Xu Dalong felt that he might have made a mistake, so he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

At this moment, Li Changshui said: "The Japanese 71st Regiment does not have the Okazaki Battalion. There is an Okazaki Battalion in the 72nd Regiment. The captain is Okazaki Jiro. What does this mean?"

Xu Dalong was very happy and asked, "Where is Okazaki Brigade currently stationed?"

Li Changshui said: "Zhuangyuan Town in the northwest of Qingyuan County."

Xu Dalong suddenly understood that this was a great battle that the Independent Regiment was about to take place - the Battle of Lijiapo. The Independent Regiment annihilated the Japanese Okazaki Brigade and became famous.

Xu Dalong took out paper and pen, and drew a topographic map of the northwest Shanxi region in just a few strokes. He wrote Lijiapo on a point in the topographic map, and also drew a circle there.

He said: "Secretary Li, what do you think if the Japanese Hirata brigade attacked Zhaojiayu?"

After thinking about it, Li Changshui said, "The headquarters will definitely send the 69th Regiment to intercept it."

Xu Dalong asked again: "What if the Japanese garrison of the Shunshui Army and the Hirata Brigade attacked north at the same time?"

Li Changshui said: "The 70th Regiment should be sent to intercept it."

Xu Dalong used his pen to draw a line from Zhuangyuan Town, and there was an arrow in front of him, which pointed directly at Li Jiapo.

He asked, "Secretary Li, what do you think?"

Li Changshui was shocked and said, "Oh! Li Jiapo has an arsenal and field hospital at its headquarters. If the Japanese Okazaki Brigade launches a sudden attack, it will be dangerous."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Dalong and said with emotion: "Brother Dalong, I didn't expect you to have such judgment ability. No wonder the brigade commander appreciates you so much. I think your judgment is basically accurate, and I must go back and report to the brigade commander immediately."

The next morning, Li Changshui left Ping'an County first.

Xu Dalong and others purchased some things on the street, then left Ping'an County and returned to the Independent Tuan headquarters.

In Li Yunlong's room, Zhao Gang asked, "Xu Dalong, have you figured out the matter when you go to Ping'an County this time?"

Da Xulong said: "The regiment commander, political commissar, deputy regiment commander, hurry up and gather the troops, and a big war is about to be fought."
