Just as Li Shaoyang was busy plundering civilian food, a communications soldier from the communications office of the 38th Division Base Camp hurriedly ran to the command hall of the Central Army barracks. After finding Wu Peifu, the communications soldier quickly handed over the telegram list that was a bit wet, and said anxiously: "Report to the seat, Sanchiyuan called, and the Japanese army suddenly launched an attack on the 31st Brigade's position."

Wu Peifu took the telegram and took a quick look, his brows frowned slightly, but his expression still looked calm. He pondered for a moment, and said as if he was muttering to himself: "It's almost three months, and the 7th Division should have some action. Fortunately, Sanchiyuan had prepared for a long time. As long as the 31st Brigade holds its position, it will definitely be able to hold on for a while."

The staff officer standing beside Wu Peifu took the telegram and read it, and then said with some concern: "Seat the seat. The telegram said that the Japanese gathered a brigade and two corps forces to attack Sanchiyuan. It would be very difficult to hold on there with just a 31st Brigade and a team of troops."

Wu Peifu said slowly: "The Japanese are the offensive side, and the 31st Brigade is the defensive side. Since ancient times, the offensive side must have more troops than the defensive side. This is nothing to be surprised. The 31st Brigade spent more than two months building fortifications in Sanchiyuan. If they cannot defend the front, then these two months will be wasted."

After hearing Wu Peifu's words, the staff officer didn't know what to do for a moment, and he always felt a little lingering in his heart. After pondering for a while, he immediately asked again: "Seat, what will we do next? We can't let the main force of our 38th Division stay here and stay still."

Wu Peifu glanced at the staff officer. The other party was a young officer who had just graduated from the National Defense University. Obviously, young people had a common problem with young people, that is, they were restless and unable to hold on. He said calmly: "We have been here for almost three months, so what if we persist for another three months? Since the action plan we formulated at the beginning was to open up the transportation line between the Sino-North Korea border and lay the transportation foundation for deep into North Korea's abdomen, this project must be implemented. The Japanese Seventh Division has never dared to act rashly, and it was not until today that they dared to send troops to attack Sanchiyuan. It can be seen that they were also unsure, just wanting to test our depth."

The staff officer said skeptically: "But if this continues, the Japanese will know our details sooner or later."

Wu Peifu took a deep breath, his expression a little impatient, but he knew that young officers always needed to be trained, and the entire 38th Division was new, how could he not have this measure? He said: "You should think from another aspect that even if we attack, we cannot defeat the 7th Division. Our 38th Division is all new recruits, and the total number of troops is even slightly inferior to the 7th Division. Moreover, Huishan has been a strategic high ground for hundreds of years that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty conquered North Korea, he suffered a loss here. It is better to be quiet than a move. Let them fight us. If we have defense, let us fight them. That is a waste of time."

The staff officer nodded suddenly and said quickly: "The attendant is indeed wise, so that's it."

Wu Peifu immediately explained: "Go to Sanchiyuan immediately, let the 31st Brigade hold its position and never retreat. In addition, send someone to Qingning to find a way to give the Group Army Command a message, give a phased summary of our current achievements, and apply to the Group Army Command to send an additional 36th Division here."

The staff officer said, "I understand. When the 36th Division arrives, the situation on our side will improve a lot."

Wu Peifu shook his head and said, "It's not that the 36th Division needs to improve our current situation. I just want to use this excuse to let Fengtian know that our 38th Division has opened a traffic line and can use this traffic line to increase troops in North Korea at any time. As for what arrangements the Group Army Command are, we have to look at it later."

He did not say it thoroughly. In fact, since he led the 38th Division to move in North Korea for almost three months, he was almost out of touch with the Army Command. The 38th Division had already had a set of its own plans from tactics to strategy. From now on, he did not hope that the 38th Division would respond to other troops, but that other troops would respond to the 38th Division, and he wanted to build the 38th Division into a surprise force.

In late August, the Air Marine Corps Headquarters Building of the Beijing Base Camp was laid out, and Zhang Xiaojun personally returned to Beijing from Fengtian to participate in the Air Marine Corps establishment ceremony. Just after the ceremony, he came to his own office of the headquarters building and notified the Deputy Secretary-General of the Secretariat Wang Congwen to convene a meeting in the Secretariat, intending to select a group of staff, officers, staff, etc. affiliated with the Air Force Command from the Secretariat and other departments of the base camp. However, at this moment, Chen Sheng, director of the Military Information Department, came over.

"Secretary General Zhang, I have some things to report to you separately." Chen Sheng looked selfless and even his tone was not turbulent when he spoke.

"Oh? Well, everyone will go to the conference room first to prepare. After everyone in the secretariat arrives, they will hold a meeting directly." Zhang Xiaozhun ordered the staff in the office.

The staff members said goodbye one by one and then left the office.

Zhang Xiaojun thought Chen Sheng would report to him some military intelligence content currently under the MIIS. He signaled the other party to sit down first and then asked, "What, what's the news?"

Chen Sheng said expressionlessly: "Secretary-General, something happened in the base camp at the beginning of the month. It had no connection with our MIIS. However, given the current relationship between our Republic of China and the *** wars, Deputy Secretary-General Wang ordered our MIIS to intervene in the matter for investigation."

Zhang Xiaozhun became surprised and said, "What happened in Beijing? Why did Deputy Secretary-General Wang ask you to intervene in the investigation?"

Chen Sheng said calmly: "This is the thing. A traffic accident occurred in the Beida Gate of Beijing Base Camp. As a result, the accident triggered a riot among the recruits who were waiting for physical examination at the time, as well as some student groups outside the Beida Gate. The recruits and student groups rushed into the Beida Gate and clashed with the guards. The military police force stationed in the Beijing Camp only suppressed the scene after it was dispatched. Commander Jiang suspected that this incident might be a conspiracy planned by the *** people, so he asked Deputy Secretary-General Wang to order our Military Information Department to investigate the matter clearly and see if there is any insider."

Zhang Xiaojun's face changed and he slapped the table and said loudly: "What? Since this happened, why no one reported to me? Even if Deputy Secretary-General Wang was careless, your Military Information Department didn't say a word. He didn't take me, the Secretary-General, seriously, right?"

Chen Sheng still looked calm and said calmly: "Stop up, there is indeed a whole story about this matter."

Zhang Xiaojun said with a cold face: "You said!"

Chen Sheng said: "The reason why this matter was not reported to you in time is because it was just a farce from beginning to end. After investigation by our MIIS, no trace of conspiracy and destruction of the *** people was found. Therefore, the MIIS did not include this matter in a formal procedure. After all, according to your instructions, we must place more resources on detectives in North Korea."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaojun felt a little relieved. After all, this matter was not a big deal. However, he still kept his cold face and asked, "Since that's the case, what's going on? Why do you have to report to me now?"

Chen Sheng kept a calm tone and said, "In fact, this incident was only caused by the son of General Zhang of the Military Office. He drove a civil car to trek into the Beida Gate and injured a guard who went to stop it. The student group performing charity outside the Beida Gate was dissatisfied with this and had a verbal conflict with Mr. Zhang. Later, during the conflict, Mr. Zhang insulted the new recruits again, which caused dissatisfaction with the new recruits. He immediately joined forces with the student group to have a more serious conflict."

Zhang Xiaojun frowned and said angrily: "What happened? It's so presumptuous!"

Chen Sheng continued: "The main reason why I am reporting to you now is that I am puzzled by the Beijing Camp Secretariat's repeated mobilization of the resources of the MIIS resources and carrying out tasks that are not related to the work of the MIIS. Therefore, I have to report directly to you, hoping that the MIIS will be involved in this matter."

Zhang Xiaojun asked: "Why, in addition to the riot at the beginning of the month, the Secretariat also asked the MIIS to do other things during this period?"

In his opinion, a riot that occurred in the Beijing base camp must be treated with caution. It is completely reasonable for the Secretariat to require the MIIS to intervene in the investigation because of this matter. However, if the Secretariat also needs the MIIS to do more unrelated work and waste the MIIS manpower, material resources and financial resources for no reason, it is really not reasonable.

Chen Sheng nodded slightly and said, "If it were just one thing, I would naturally not be so mobilizing the masses and making a big fuss. After the last riot in Beida Gate, the eldest son of the General Secretary Zhang of the Military Office was sentenced to ten years in prison and fined 50,000 yuan in accordance with the law, and reported to the Secretary-General of the Central Government to report the blacklist. This should have been considered to be over, but later Deputy Secretary-General Wang believed that although General Secretary Zhang was sentenced, it did not strictly enforce it, so he mobilized the Military Information Department to secretly monitor Mr. Zhang's situation many times. As a result..." He hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Xiaozhun immediately asked, "What's the result? Say!"

Chen Sheng sighed softly and said in a serious tone: "Our Military Intelligence Department still follows the order to carry out the mission, but found that Mr. Zhang had only been detained in the Beijing Military Police Prison for ten days. This month was released on the 25th day of the day before yesterday. The specific reason for the release is not clear, but if we really want to investigate, there will be a result today and tomorrow. But, sir, should our Military Intelligence Department be responsible for this matter?"
