Zujiabang prisoner of war camp.

It was noon, and in addition to the scouts on the periphery, more than 1,300 officers and men of the 367th Regiment were still asleep, especially the more than 500 officers and men of the 7th Independent Battalion, who had just joined the 367th Regiment.

Because before that, the officers and men of the 7th Independent Battalion had not closed their eyes for three days and nights!

However, all the commanders above the company level were called by Zhong Yi to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang participated in the meeting of the 367 regiment for the first time, and they were inevitably a little restrained.

Zhong Yi took the initiative to turn around for the two of them: "Let me introduce first, this is Chen Yaoting, this one is Yuan Qiang, these two are both famous generals of the 170th Division of the 7th Army of the Gui Army!" However, from today onwards, the two of them and more than 500 brothers from the 170th Division will be temporarily included in our 367 sequence, everyone is welcome! ”

All the troop commanders present at the meeting applauded.

Chen Yaoting and Yuan Qiang hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Zhong Yi motioned for the two to sit down, and said, "There is only one topic for this meeting!" ”

When everyone's attention was concentrated, Zhong Yi said again: "This topic is the follow-up marching route!" According to the information provided by the attendant's room, most of the main forces of the Devil's Tenth Army have passed Wuxing, and the Guoqi Detachment has made a detour to Guangde, and even the Devil's baggage troops have also reached the front line of Nanxun Town! ”

Yang Chen said: "That is to say, if we continue to stay near Xitang, we will no longer be able to find the devil's baggage troops!" Only by moving forward can we continue to fight the devil's baggage troops! ”

"Not bad!" Zhong Yi said, "The question now is how to move forward? Which route to take? ”

"Isn't that simple?" The 1st battalion commander Chu Bangchang immediately said, "Just like before, pretend to be a devil and continue to walk along the river, when you meet a devil, you can beat it, and if you can't beat it, you will flash!" ”

"You're thinking too simply." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "It's really stupid to be a devil?" ”

Chu Bangchang said disapprerovingly: "Didn't the little devil find out that we were pretending to be a baggage army?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Now the little devil has indeed not found any abnormality, but no one can guarantee that the little devil will never find an abnormality, and no one can guarantee that the little devil will not turn the plan to us again!" ”

Zhong Yi, as a highly talented student who graduated from a military academy, has systematically studied military history, so he remembers many details, and he vaguely remembers that it was during this time that the military command and the Japanese secret service broke out in a fierce espionage and counter-espionage war, because of this war, the Japanese army invading China frequently changed the cipher code for a long time, so as not to be deciphered by the military commander!

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "In short, it's always good to be cautious!" ”

Chu Gangchang didn't say more, who made Zhong Yi the head of the 367 regiment?

Zhong Yi said: "There are two marching routes in front of us now, one is by land, but the question is, if you go ashore by land, what should we do with these captured military supplies?" It is impossible to take it all away, it is a pity to destroy it! Hiding may be the only option. ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "The other is to take the Taihu Lake waterway!" ”

Chu Gangchang couldn't help but say again: "There is a difference between walking Taihu Lake and walking Hebang?" ”

"Of course there is a difference." Zhong Yi said, "According to the information currently available, the combat units of the 10th Army take the road, and the baggage troops have a small number of waterways, and some of the troops of the Shanghai Dispatch Army take the Taihu Lake waterway, but they are in the Taihu Lake North District, so the waterways in the Taihu Lake South District are safe for the time being!" ”

……

Zhong Yi's caution is by no means superfluous!

In fact, the little devil has already discovered the anomaly!

It's just that this is thanks to Dai Li's Military Command Bureau!

After the Operations Department became independent from the Blue Coat Society and reorganized into the Military Command Bureau, Chen Lifu, the director of the bureau, was only in name, and the actual person in charge of intelligence affairs was Dai Li, the deputy director!

Dai Li's ability is still very strong, and after becoming deputy director, he is also full of enthusiasm, and with his vigorous support, the military commander's intelligence network in Shanghai, Beiping, and Tianjin has developed rapidly!

Especially in Shanghai, Dai Li, through the heavy bribery of Kase, captured a communications staff officer of the Central China Front Headquarters, and obtained the Japanese army's cipher code!

However, the counter-espionage capability of the Japanese army is also very strong, and when there were several situations in a row, the Japanese secret service immediately found out the traitors hidden in the headquarters.

Since then, the Japanese army has strengthened its secrecy measures!

One of them is that the cipher code will be changed regularly!

Soon after the 6th Division's 3rd Heavy Brigade was completely annihilated, the Japanese Central China Front replaced the cipher code and sent the new cipher code to all front-line units.

The 367th Regiment, which pretended to be the 3rd Brigade of the Baggage, did not receive the new code, and still used the old code to contact the headquarters, so it was exposed at once!

……

Jiashan, Headquarters of the Tenth Army.

The chief of staff of the 10th Army, Xing Chongchong, walked into the tent and reported to Yanagawa Heisuke: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have just discovered a very suspicious situation, which is likely to be related to the successive attacks of the 6th Division before!" ”

Yanagawa Heisuke, who was playing against Shigeo Yamamoto, immediately raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hello!" Tetsujiro Yamada slammed his head and continued, "Just now, the 3rd Independent Baggage Brigade attached to the operation of the 23rd Infantry Wing sent a telegram to the headquarters with the old cipher code! ”

"Nani? Old ciphercode? Yanagawa Heisuke suddenly looked stunned when he heard this.

Shigeo Yamamoto, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, the 3rd Independent Baggage Brigade must have had an accident, and the current Independent Baggage 3rd Brigade must be impersonated by Zhong Yi's 367th Regiment!" ”

After a pause, Shigeo Yamamoto said again: "Your Excellency Commander, this is a good opportunity to eliminate the 367th Regiment!" ”

"Soga!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded heavily when he heard this, he was busy swinging his division to attack Nanjing, and he didn't have the extra energy to take care of the pursuit of Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment, but this didn't mean that he didn't hate Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment, no matter what, Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment brought heavy losses to the Tenth Army!

At that moment, Yanagawa Heisuke said: "Yamada-kun, can you determine the location of the 367th regiment?" ”

"Hello!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused, "The telecommunications detection vehicle can determine the exact location of the 367th Regiment through the radio waves, and one of the telecommunication detection vehicles of the Shanghai secret service is in Qingpu, and it will be able to reach the vicinity of Xitang Town in two hours at the earliest, according to the previous information, the 367th Regiment should still be near Xitang!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded heavily and said, "Yamada-kun, immediately coordinate with the Shanghai secret service to transfer this telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle to Xitang, and at the same time order the 3rd Flying Regiment to prepare for takeoff, and once the location of the 367th Regiment is determined, at least two attack squadrons will be dispatched immediately to blow up the 367th Regiment's station to ashes!" ”

"Hello!" Tetsujiro Yamada paused.
