Chapter 579: The secret team within the Japanese army
Mid-August, Wu'an.
Dong Jiang and Lin Zhengxiong disguised themselves as fellow villagers entering the city and mingled with the long queue entering the city.
Lin Zhengxiong looked at the puppet troops who were inspecting the front, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He tugged on the corner of Dong Jiang's clothes in front of him: "No, don't recognize us. I'm telling you in advance, I can't help being tortured."
ah!"
"Hmph, if you keep grinding, I'll find a place to bury you later and save you from getting into trouble!" Dong Jiang glared at Lin Zhengxiong and said.
"It's just a joke, it's a joke!" Lin Zhengxiong said.
"If I weren't afraid that you would be recognized, why would I have to wait in line here when I enter the city? Just show my Eighth Route Army ID to the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the city gate, and I can go in and out without any hindrance!"
While the two were talking, they moved forward with the team. The puppet soldier in charge of the inspection shouted to the two: "Where is the Certificate of Good Citizen?"
The two men took out their good citizen certificates, and the puppet army compared them with the photos in a dignified manner, then closed the good citizen certificates, but did not return them.
I saw the puppet soldier holding the Certificate of Good Citizen in his right hand, constantly flapping it with his left hand, and squinting his eyes: "What are you two doing in the city?"
"Master Jun, let's visit relatives!" Dong Jiang cursed in his heart, and immediately took out a box of unopened Tainan cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the puppet soldier: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Jun, give it a try!"
"Young man, it's still hard currency. Okay, let's go!" The puppet soldier quietly stuffed the cigarettes in his hands into his pockets.
"Okay, okay!" Dong Jiang nodded and pulled Lin Zhengxiong into the city.
Nowadays, Tainan brand cigarettes have opened up sales in various counties in Tainan. Not only the wealthy local people recognize them, but also many people in the puppet army smoke them.
The tobacco leaves produced in Tainan are of average quality, but the Hebei, Shandong and Henan regions have produced high-quality tobacco leaves since ancient times. After the Tainan Cigarette Factory was established, it first produced a popular brand of cigarettes.
Subsequently, the process was upgraded, high-quality tobacco leaves were selected, filters were added, and the packaging was also optimized.
The field clothing factory of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army has a cigarette factory in Xingtai, which specializes in producing Asahi brand cigarettes for the little devils. However, the output is far from meeting the needs of the numerous county populations in the 108th Division's administrative area, so Tainan brand cigarettes are available.
opportunity.
The two entered the city and went straight to a teahouse opened by the enemy engineering department in the city.
The shopkeeper at the counter saw the two men entering the door. Thinking about the task informed by his superior, he immediately asked: "What do you two drink?"
"We have an appointment, private room No. 1!" Dong Jiang made a gesture as he spoke.
The shopkeeper immediately understood and stretched out his right hand: "Okay, private room No. 1, the first room on the left when you go upstairs!"
Dong Jiang nodded. When he went upstairs, he happened to see a table downstairs facing the main entrance. Monk and Tian Defu were eating melon seeds and listening to a ditty. They felt so uncomfortable that they speeded up the stairs.
In the private room, Zhou Weihan was observing the passers-by on the street through the window, when Dong Jiang knocked on the door.
"Enter!"
"**member!"
"Yeah!" Zhou Weihan nodded: "No one is watching you along the way!"
"No, it's very safe!" Dong Jiang replied.
In order not to attract attention, Zhou Weihan and Dong Jiang entered the city in two ways.
Logically speaking, judging from the current degree of control of Wu'an by the Eighth Route Army, there is no need to be so careful even when Zhou Weihan enters the city.
However, during this trip, Zhou Weihan needed to meet with the spokesperson of the Chinese Guizong Society in Handan. Due to that person's apparent identity, he had to be careful.
Not long after, the person in charge of the enemy engineering department in the city led a well-dressed man into the teahouse, and then went straight to private room No. 1 on the second floor.
Hearing regular knocks on the door, Zhou Weihan motioned to Dong Jiang to open the door and check.
The two of them entered the door. The person in charge of the enemy engineering department glanced at the people in the room, and quickly locked his eyes on Zhou Weihan who was holding a tea bowl: "Chief, my code name is Fisherman, and I am responsible for the central contact. This is the person who was notified by the superior to meet.
man of!"
Before Zhou Weihan could say anything, Lin Zhengxiong, who had already speculated about this trip, immediately hugged the visitor: "Brother Wu, I really didn't expect it was you!"
Lin Zhengwu slapped Lin Zhengxiong hard on the shoulder: "When I heard the news from Changzhi, I thought you were dead. You are really lucky!"
After getting excited, Lin Zhengxiong realized that this meeting was definitely not simple, and there was definitely something serious to do. He immediately introduced: "Brother Wu, this is the Eighth Route Army..."
"You don't need to say more!" Lin Zhengwu stopped him and stopped Lin Zhengxiong who wanted to continue talking.
"Okay, you go out first, I will have a good talk with this gentleman!" Zhou Weihan waved his hand and said.
After Lin and the others went out, Lin Zhengwu put his coat on and hung his hat on the hook, and sat opposite Zhou Weihan.
Zhou Weihan looked at the person in front of him with burning eyes, and his thoughts went back to the time when Dong Jiang reported to him about the Zhonghua Guizong Society.
After Dong Jiang's report, Zhou Weihan immediately realized that this was an opportunity to develop the Eighth Route Army's own strength within the Japanese army.
Furthermore, Zhou Weihan admired the fact that the Chinese Guizong Society still organized and continued to carry out resistance struggles many years after the Japanese army fully occupied Ryukyu.
Zhou Weihan knew that the organization also had its own power in Ryukyu, but Ryukyu was alone and the organization's power was too weak.
Afterwards, Zhou Weihan reported the matter to the Eighth Route Army headquarters. After his superiors learned about the Zhonghua Guizong Society, they quickly launched an investigation.
Coincidentally, there happened to be a cadre in Yanzhou who had been in charge of work in Ryukyu. According to his recollection, the origin of the Zhonghua Guizong Society can be traced back to the anti-Qing and Ming organizations that were active in Ryukyu more than 200 years ago.
After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War and the Japanese invasion of Ryukyu, the Zhonghua Guizong Society changed its purpose and united with the rebels from all walks of life to embark on the road of resisting Japan and seeking survival.
Unfortunately, the Japanese army continued to send more troops to Ryukyu. In the end, the rebel army was defeated and the Chung Hwa Guizong Society went underground.
The origins of the members of the Zhonghua Guizong Society are extremely complex. Some are passed down from ancestors, some are from the world such as Hongmen martyrs, there are also military agents lurking in Ryukyu, and of course there are members of our organization.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After nearly a month, the organization sent many comrades from the port city to sneak into Ryukyu to investigate the backgrounds of Lin Zhengwu and Lin Zhengxiong, and finally notified Zhou Weihan.
"Lin Zhengwu, a member of the Dongshantang family of the Lin family in eastern Guangdong, has met Zhou **!" Lin Zhengwu said as he cupped his hands.
"Oh? Do you know my identity?" Zhou Weihan asked curiously.
"No one in the Japanese army knows Zhou's name, Okamura Neji offered a huge reward. After I came to Handan, I carefully studied Zhou's childhood photos, and I recognized him the moment we met!" Lin Zhengwu
Said with a smile.
As for why he studied Zhou Weihan's photos, Zhou Weihan had a pretty good guess based on what Lin Zhengxiong stated. It was simply that Lin Zhengwu originally intended to contact the Eighth Route Army in Tainan, but later he gave up the idea after seeing that the Eighth Route Army had an ambiguous relationship with the local Japanese army.
.
"Then Brother Lin knows my identity, how dare you come to see me today?" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
"The original speculations were presumptuous. Only after the battle at Changzhi did we know the strength of your army. Your army is sincerely resisting Japan!" Lin Zhengwu explained.
Zhou Weihan chuckled and didn't care at all. Instead, he took out half a copper coin from his pocket and put it on the table, then pushed it in front of Lin Zhengwu.
Lin Zhengwu's expression changed drastically when he saw the half of the copper coin, and then he took off the other half of the copper coin that was hanging close to his neck. The two copper coins were perfectly aligned with each other.
"Comrade Hongyan, it's not easy for the organization to get in touch with you!" Zhou Weihan joked.
"** Zhou, since I arrived in Handan, I have been anxious to get in touch with the organization. However, before leaving, my superiors specifically told me that I could only wait for someone to wake me up with this half copper coin, otherwise I would remain silent!" Lin Zhengwu
explained again.
"Hey, this is because the organization considers your personal safety. The role you can play by lurking within the Japanese army will be very important!"
"After you left, the traffic station where your upline was located was cracked by the Japanese army and the radio station was destroyed. No one contacted you for a long time. If your superiors hadn't taken the initiative to send someone to Ryukyu to investigate, I'm afraid you would have remained silent!"
Zhou Weihan said.
"Hi!" Lin Zhengwu gave himself a couple of annoyances.
"Okay, let's get down to business. How powerful is the Zhonghua Guizong Society in Handan?"
"The Zhonghua Guizong Society has 652 members in Handan, but they are scattered in various places. Among these people, the most responsible ones are several local Ryukyu forces headed by our Lin family, including Hongmen's Tangkou.
Maybe there are still people from the military command!"
"The original organizational structure of the Zhonghua Guizong Society was loose, and its secret strongholds were frequently attacked by little devils. After the military commanders joined in, they conducted formal training and things improved!"
"But as I said just now, there are many factions in it. There is me among you, and you among me. It's hard to say what the secret identities of the members are!"
According to Lin Zhengwu, the local forces in Ryukyu are closely connected by blood, and the Hongmen and Juntong factions are obviously closer.
"As for the members of the organization, the organization gave me a secret list before I came here. There are 32 people in total. Lin, Zheng, Zhang, Wang, and Li account for 26 of them, and the remaining 6 are
They are from the Hongmen system. I was able to contact 3 people in Wu'an, and during this period I developed 5 more people, for a total of 37 people!..." Lin Zhengwu said.
"Is this Lin Zhengxiong?"
"No, Masao. He is usually very sociable and is too conspicuous. But when there are some convenient things, I often make excuses for him to do them!"
Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this. The supplementary troops recruited by the Japanese army from Ryukyu were not reused. Under the management of Isamu Terauchi, the Japanese officer Zuo Ju of the Osaka Division who was transferred back from the front line was ranked first. Originally, he was among the 104th Brigade.
The Japanese army came second, and those from Ryukyu came last.
Among the more than 600 members of the Chinese Guizong Society today, Lin Zhengwu serves as the deputy section chief of the Economics Section of the Japanese Army Command Headquarters in Wu'an, Wuyi, and Shexian County, with the rank of captain. This is because Lin Zhengwu graduated from a university majoring in economics.
"I, the captain, have the highest rank. There are a few people like me, but they are all deputies and not in key departments!" Lin Zhengwu explained.
"Hey, your economics class is really a key department. Our Eighth Route Army has secret dealings with the Japanese army. At the same time, you can also learn about the economic blockade of the base areas by the Japanese army in the economics class!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you become the head of the economics class!" Zhou Weihan said with confidence.
"Now I announce the instructions from my superiors!" Zhou Weihan took out an order from his pocket: "Now that we have learned about Comrade Lin Zhengwu's experience, we now order Comrade Lin Zhengwu to establish a monitoring group within the Japanese army to secretly develop forces and monitor the actions of the local Japanese army.
Move, wait for an opportunity to obtain information! The organizational relationship of the members of the team was transferred to the Enemy Engineering Section of the Tainan Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, Northern Bureau Yang!"
"Yes!" Lin Zhengwu responded seriously.
"Comrade Zhengwu, your identity needs to be kept secret. Although it is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the situation is different from Ryukyu, and the latent personnel of the provincial military command will bring you trouble!" Zhou Weihan ordered.
"For other comrades, there will be a fisherman comrade outside the door to cooperate with you. He will be your upline from now on, and the two of you will always maintain a single line of contact!"
"Today's conversation will not leave any records, don't worry!"
"yes!"
"Is there anything else going on?" Zhou Weihan finally asked.
"On Sunday, the Japanese brigade and regiment headquarters in Handan recently forwarded an order asking the local Japanese army to send personnel to investigate whether the artillery of the heavy artillery regiment carried by the Kwantung Army fighting in Changzhi had been captured. If it was captured, it must be recovered as soon as possible.
, this order was issued directly by the commander of the North China Expeditionary Force, Okamura Neiji!" Lin Zhengxiong told an important piece of information.
"Oh?" Zhou Weihan suddenly became interested. This little devil was really an afterthought, but he didn't dare to mention it to Isamu Terauchi.
"Now that this is over, I will send someone to keep an eye on it!"
After that, the fisherman and Lin Zhengwu left first, and Zhou Weihan spent some time in the teahouse before greeting everyone to leave the city.
Lin Zhengxiong's performance has been tested, which is why Zhou Weihan brought him to meet Lin Zhengwu. After the meeting, the two felt at ease.
However, due to Lin Zhengxiong's apparent identity being dead, he could only remain in the army for a long time.
...
On the other end, those who received the order were not only the Japanese troops of the 104th Brigade in Handan, but also the Japanese 10th Independent Mixed Brigade in Tunliu, the Japanese 1st Independent Mixed Brigade in Anyang, and the Japanese troops of the 35th Division in Xinxiang
Everyone has received this order.
How could the Japanese army be willing to let a heavy artillery regiment disappear like this? Even Neji Okamura could not bear this responsibility.
In fact, Isamu Terauchi did not care whether the heavy artillery fell into the hands of the enemy, but he hoped that it would fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army rather than fall into the hands of the national army.
For a time, little devils from all over the country sent spies to the Tainan area, quite vowing to search Tainan all over.
After much thought, Isamu Terauchi also made up his mind to call Yamawang Mountain to determine the whereabouts of the missing heavy artillery, but Zhou Weihan was not on the mountain at this time.
