That night, Li Yunlong contacted Boss Chen to seek technical assistance.
However, there are conditions for seeking technical assistance, that is, the business price must be reduced by half.
After all, this deal is for the New Group to capture high-level agents themselves.
If the new regiment captures or kills senior agents on its own, it will have 2,000 Japanese army horses.
But if it is a high-level agent captured with the technical assistance provided by Boss Chen, there will only be 1,000 Japanese military horses.
In addition, if Boss Chen learned the identity of the senior agent through the spies lurking in the North China Front Army Headquarters, the New Regiment would not even have a single military horse.
Commander Li knew very well that Boss Chen's intelligence capabilities were terrifying. If Boss Chen was the first to find out the identity of the senior agent, the business would be ruined.
Therefore, although there are 1,000 less Japanese army horses, Li Yunlong can accept it.
What's more important is to uncover the Japanese agents lurking in the new group before the big move is made.
the next day.
A radio monitoring vehicle wrapped in a military green tarpaulin was transported to Zhaojiayu by a large helicopter under the protection of several fighter jets.
After the fighter jets and then the helicopter flew away, the radio surveillance vehicle was taken over by soldiers led by Liu Dali, the guard battalion commander of the new regiment.
Subsequently, several telegraph operators from the new regiment headquarters entered the radio monitoring vehicle and began to work.
There is an instruction manual in the radio monitoring vehicle. These operators are very sensitive to radio signals, so they quickly learned how to operate it.
The radio monitoring vehicle is very advanced, and the monitoring signal light inside the vehicle is ticking, indicating that someone nearby is sending a telegram.
The monitors were very familiar with the telegraph signal. It was the Sixth Battalion of the Division sending a telegram to the regiment headquarters.
The radio monitoring vehicle was camouflaged and protected by several security battalion soldiers fully loaded with guns and live ammunition, and began to monitor along the highway, looking for abnormal radio signals in the Xinyi Regiment's base area.
Until night, the monitoring vehicle still found no abnormal radio signals.
Seeing that the attack time was getting closer and closer, the Japs' senior agents still did not reveal their flaws.
Early the next morning.
Zhaojiayu.
New regiment, regiment headquarters.
"Report to the leader, political commissar."
Guard battalion commander Liu Dali quickly walked into the regiment headquarters, saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with a military salute, and reported:
"The monitoring vehicle has traveled almost all the roads in the base area, and so far no abnormal radio signals have been found."
Liu Dali looked a little tired. He led his people to follow the surveillance vehicle all night.
"I know." Li Yunlong nodded, "Go back and take a rest."
"yes!"
Liu Dali turned and left.
Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said: "It will definitely not work if this continues. Unless there is major intelligence, this senior agent will definitely not turn on the radio to send a report."
Only when the other party turns on the radio station and sends a report, the monitoring vehicle will detect the radio signal sent by the other party's radio station.
The senior agent's radio station is only activated once every few months, so it has to wait until the end of the year?
"Old Zhao, how did you fish before?"
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and asked.
Zhao Gang said: "I first screened out some suspects, and then asked the battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders to deliberately put false intelligence materials on the desk in the office to expose flaws to see if the senior agents would
Taking the bait…”
Li Yunlong nodded, this method is indeed feasible.
But it was obvious that the senior Japanese agents were very cautious and did not act rashly.
Perhaps the Japanese senior agents have noticed something unusual.
Wang Dehou said: "If you want this senior Japanese agent to turn on the radio and send a report, unless this person has important information, report it to Okamura Neiji."
"What Chief of Staff Wang said makes sense." Xing Zhiguo agreed, "We have to give this senior agent a reason to send a telegram."
Li Yunlong nodded. The chief of staff and deputy commander Xing had the same ideas as him.
Li Yunlong thought for a moment and then said: "Let's conduct a pre-war mobilization within the entire regiment."
"Mobilize before the war?" Zhao Gang was slightly startled and said in a worried tone, "In this way, wouldn't the Japanese know in advance that we are going to have a major combat operation?"
Li Yunlong said: "The purpose is to let the Japanese know in advance, and this pre-war mobilization is not to attack other places, but to mobilize the whole regiment to attack Taiyuan."
"Mobilize the whole regiment to attack Taiyuan?" Zhao Gang frowned, "Will the senior Japanese agents believe it?"
Of course Zhao Gang knew that mobilizing the entire regiment to attack Taiyuan was definitely a fake. He had already seen the battle plan.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe the Japanese's senior agents or not," Li Yunlong said. "The responsibility of the senior agents is to obtain intelligence and determine whether the intelligence is true or false. This is what Neji Okamura should do."
"What the regiment leader said makes sense." Wang Dehou's eyes lit up, "If a senior Japanese agent knew that our new regiment was going to attack Taiyuan, he would definitely send a telegram to Neji Okamura."
Xing Zhiguo said: "There is another point. After the senior Japanese agents sent a telegram to Okamura Neiji, they discovered that the troops of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment had raided the 1st Division of Datong. They would shout that they had been fooled and would become more determined.
People think that our new regiment is attacking Datong, which can better cover up the true intention of our Eighth Route Army."
After hearing this analysis, Zhao Gang suddenly nodded. Because he did not catch a senior agent, it almost made it difficult to implement the combat plan.
"I was a little anxious before and didn't think deeply enough about the problem."
Zhao Gang smiled, almost not following Li Yunlong's train of thought.
Li Yunlong's move can be called a plan within a plan.
First, the Japanese were made to think that the New Regiment would attack Taiyuan, and at the same time they found out the enemy's senior agents lurking in the New Regiment.
Wait for the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment to move north to attack the 1st Division.
The Japanese would definitely think that the new regiment was heading north to attack the 1st Division, and they would be fooled.
However, by then, the real show has just begun.
Then, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, immediately issue an order to all battalion commanders in the regiment to hold a meeting at the regiment headquarters!"
"yes!"
Wang Dehou straightened his body, turned around and asked the combat staff to pass on the order.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Putting on a full show and suddenly ordering the entire regiment to mobilize before the war will definitely arouse suspicion.
However, after having all the battalion commanders of the entire regiment go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, each battalion commander returns to the battalion headquarters and issues orders to each company, platoon, and squad of each battalion.
For such a big move, as long as the senior Japs agent is a member of the New Regiment, he will definitely know that the New Regiment is going to attack Taiyuan.
Today's Xinyi Regiment's communications are very developed, and each company is equipped with a radio station.
Telephone lines are connected between the regiment headquarters and each battalion. Even battalions such as the Sixth Battalion of the Division, which are stationed far away, maintain radio contact with the regiment headquarters at all times.
Two hours later, more than 30 battalion commanders from the entire regiment came to the regiment headquarters in Zhaojiayu for a meeting.
It took about half an hour for Li Yunlong to explain the current situation clearly and issue orders.
Each battalion commander immediately returned to each battalion station and began to distribute ammunition and mobilize the soldiers before the war.
…
Taoshugou.
The second battalion of the New 1st Regiment is stationed.
The first thing that Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu did when he returned to the battalion headquarters was to order the entire battalion to assemble.
Soon, more than 2,500 people from the second battalion gathered on the training ground.
Zheng Yu held a homemade tin trumpet in his hand, stood on a truck, and said to the entire battalion of soldiers: "Our Eighth Route Army is a glorious force!"
"We have walked 25,000 miles since Jinggang Mountain, climbed snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, and experienced countless hardships!"
"Their blood was sprinkled on the Xiangjiang River and the Dadu River!"
"Sprinkled it on the Yellow River, sprinkled it on the Yangtze River, and won victory after victory!"
"Later, we came to Shanxi and saw with our own eyes that the Japanese invaded China, occupied our land, and killed our compatriots!"
"Today, our Eighth Route Army has strong troops and horses. It is time to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese in Shanxi!"
"The Eighth Route Army Headquarters decided to attack Taiyuan and completely eliminate the Japanese First Army!"
"After capturing Taiyuan, we will counterattack the entire North China, Northeast China, and even all of China!"
"New victories and missions call ahead!"
"Failure and retreat do not belong to our Eighth Route Army!"
Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu and Third Battalion Commander Chen Dagu both climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands for 25,000 miles. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have extremely firm beliefs and willpower.
However, at that time, they were both platoon commanders of the Red Army, and when they were first reorganized, they were only company commanders of the new regiment.
Later, most of the battalion commanders and company commanders of the new regiment were killed in the battle with the Japanese.
Due to their excellent military quality and strong ability to lead troops, Zheng Yu and Chen Dugu were promoted to battalion commanders one after another.
Of course, although Zhang Dabiao joined later, compared with Zhang Dabiao, they are still slightly inferior in all aspects.
Bang bang bang——
The officers and men of the Second Battalion applauded one after another, and everyone looked excited. Some soldiers even shed tears of excitement. They had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Only by driving the Japanese out of China can the people live a good life.
The vast majority of these soldiers who joined the Eighth Route Army were ordinary people.
Even though tears were shed, the eyes and faces of the soldiers were extremely persevering.
Zheng Yu said loudly: "Now, please ask the company commanders of each company of our second battalion to come up and speak!"
Amid a burst of applause, the commander of the first company of the second battalion, with a steel helmet on his head and a Zeiss telescope and an M3 submachine gun hanging on his chest, boarded the bed of the truck.
The first company commander gave a military salute:
"Our First Company of the Second Battalion is the sharp knife company of the Second Battalion and also a special agent company. We must learn from the Seventh Steel Company of the First Battalion, carry forward the spirit of dare to die and fight, kill more Japanese soldiers, and drive the Japanese soldiers out of China as soon as possible!"
Conventional regiment-level troops and company-level establishment numbers are generally 1 to 9 companies.
However, after the new regiment was reorganized, each battalion had 12 companies, so the company numbers of each battalion were independent. For example, the company numbers of the second battalion were the 1st company of the 2nd battalion to the 12th company of the 2nd battalion.
Amidst the applause, the company commander gave a military salute, turned around and jumped out of the truck.
Immediately afterwards, the company commanders of each company of the second battalion came to the stage to speak, expressing their determination and courage to fight the Japanese invaders to the end.
After the pre-war mobilization was completed, each company began to distribute ammunition. Each soldier received 2 base numbers of bullets, grenades, canned meat and canned fruit.
Afterwards, all the soldiers went back to rest and prepared to leave for Taiyuan in the evening.
In front of a house in Taoshugou.
An "Eighth Route Army soldier" who looked a little older and looked like a cooking soldier looked around and found no one nearby, so he opened the door and walked in.
This person is none other than the senior agent Pangolin lurking in the new group.
