Chapter 395 Target: First Army Headquarters
The man who was fed the gun barrel was named Liu Jian, and the woman was named Dong Qiuping.
The reason why Liu Wangcai's sudden appearance surprised the two of them was because they had known each other for a long time, and they also carried some unknown secrets with them.
"Woooooooo..."
Liu Jian raised his hands, whimpered non-stop, and his eyes were full of pleading.
Dong Qiuping stood aside cautiously, with her hands on her chest, looking very panicked and frightened.
Their minds were racing, and they all thought of one thing:
"Has the murder and property robbery been exposed?"
Liu Wangcai glared at Liu Jian with cold eyes, then turned to look at the courtyard gate, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping also followed his eyes and looked towards the door in fear.
I saw five or six people walking in at the courtyard gate, all of them were strong young men. Their eyes were cold, and murderous intent spread out in every move they made.
The leader was a young man about 20 years old, with an average appearance, even a little honest. But when Liu Wangcai saw this young man, his expression suddenly became extremely respectful.
"Is he Liu Jian?" The young man didn't seem to notice the charming Dong Qiuping standing next to him. He not only looked at Liu Jian with some amusement.
"Yes, captain." Wangcai's gun barrel poked Liu Jian twice in the mouth, "Liang Duojin's concubine and the gold and silver he collected are all in his hands."
Liu Wangcai joined the Military Intelligence Office after being captured. The Hunter Brigade's operations in Taiyuan required the cooperation of the Military Intelligence Office, so Chen Zhengyue met him again.
Naturally, the affairs of Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping could not be hidden from the eyes of the Military Intelligence Agency. The two took away a large amount of money from Dongyang Pass, fled to Taiyuan, and bought this small courtyard. They lived a life of drunkenness and dreams every day.
When someone from the Military Intelligence Office informed Chen Zhengyue of this situation, the latter made a decisive decision to choose Liu Jian as his temporary location.
This yard is only one block away from the Japanese headquarters, so the hunter brigade can detect the deployment of the Japanese troops nearby.
It is naturally possible to find other compounds to stay in through the Military Intelligence Office, but time is tight and reckless actions can easily attract the attention of the Japanese special agents.
The Military Intelligence Office has not yet fully established itself in Taiyuan. Once exposed, the Military Intelligence Office will suffer extremely heavy losses.
Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping have only been in Taiyuan for five or six days, but they have already integrated into the neighborhood through their own actions. Compared with looking for another place, the possibility of being exposed in this place is much smaller.
Even if they are exposed in the end, Chen Zhengyue will not care about the life and death of this bad couple.
He raised his chin and signaled Liu Wang to pull out the barrel of the gun.
"Go and clean up, we are going to stay at your house for a few days!"
Although the young man's voice was so calm, Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping felt an endless chill.
Apart from the Japanese, the only person who could make Liu Wangcai so obedient was Jiang Dong.
Seeing that several people were acting secretly, Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping had roughly guessed their identities.
Thinking of this, the two of them dared not say another word. They bowed and invited the 'guest' into the room.
From Dongyang Pass to Taiyuan, the two of them were careful all the way and almost cut off all ties with the past. However, the other party found them so easily, which shows that they are both big shots with extraordinary abilities.
When a big shot came to visit this shabby little courtyard, Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping could only express "flattered" and no other expressions were allowed.
After the room was taken out, Liu Wangcai took Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping to other rooms. The captain and the others would stay here for a few days, and Liu Wangcai still had many trivial matters to explain to them.
Lu Jiu is the top person in charge of the Military Intelligence Office in Taiyuan. He spread a large-scale map of Taiyuan on the table and said:
"This is our current location. This is the headquarters of the First Army of the Japs. The two places are separated by one block and can be reached by walking in only three minutes.
According to what we have detected before, except for the occasional patrol by a small number of puppet troops, the area is safe most of the time.
If you want to go to the Japanese Army Headquarters, this is the fastest route and the least noticeable." Lu Jiu pointed at a slightly curved red line on the map and said.
Chen Zhengyue narrowed his eyes and nodded, while Yuan Fei beside him marked the map of the hunter brigade.
Although the foundation of the Military Intelligence Department is not stable, they have been active in Taiyuan for a long time and have a lot of information in their hands. Lu Jiu continued:
"Under normal circumstances, the Japanese headquarters only has one squadron of Japs and one company of puppet troops stationed there. If you really plan to attack the Japanese headquarters, you must also consider the Japs barracks not far from the headquarters.
There is a large group of Japs stationed there, and if the headquarters is attacked, they can arrive in 10 minutes."
Chen Zhengyue's eyes lingered on the map. Apart from Xie Chengrui and Jiang Dong, only his three squadron leaders knew about the plan for this operation.
Although Lu Jiu was from the Military Intelligence Agency, Chen Zhengyue did not intend to explain to him immediately.
"Has the situation at the airport changed?" he asked.
Lu Jiu shook his head,
"There is no new situation at the moment, and there is still only a police force of more than 500 people defending there.
Hu Zongnan's two armies on the western front were attacking very fiercely, and the Japanese army was short of strength. A large number of soldiers had been transferred from many units in the city, and most of their structures were incomplete.
But this situation may not last long, a regiment of the Japanese 114th Division is rushing to Taiyuan from the Zhengtai Railway."
"Oh!" Chen Zhengyue finally had an expression on his honest face,
"How long does it take to reach Taiyuan?"
"The guerrillas have been trying to destroy the Zhengtai Railway. Under such circumstances, it will take three days at the fastest and five days at the slowest!"
Chen Zhengyue thought for a while and said:
"Over there, get the brothers from the Third Squadron into the city as soon as possible, and don't leave any weapons and equipment behind.
I’m going to do some on-the-spot investigation in the next two days, and I’ll think about how to do it later!”
"Okay, we'll do our best!" Although this matter was very difficult, Lu Jiu still nodded and agreed.
…
After the matter was temporarily settled, Chen Zhengyue took Liu Wangcai and Yuan Fei, dressed as ordinary farmers and workers, and went to inspect the Japanese headquarters, station and arsenal.
Of course, two soldiers stayed behind to monitor Liu Jian and Dong Qiuping.
Perhaps because the First Army has reached its end and Umezu Yoshijiro has lost command of the battle, the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan, except for strengthening external defense, the situation in the city remains as usual.
Chen Zhengyue and the others could only take a look at important military facilities such as the arsenal and headquarters from a distance. As for the train station, Chen Zhengyue believed that it did not have much strategic significance and attacking it would not cause any pain to the little devils.
Chen Zhengyue and others walked around the streets and found that there were very few patrolling Japs, and most of them were puppet soldiers oppressing the people.
The three of them encountered two waves of puppet troops, had their good citizen certificates checked twice, and the only two pieces of ocean they had with them were stolen by the "vicious" puppet leader.
