The only thing that pleased Lu Chengzhou was that the anti-Japanese national united front was formed.

I saw the Haigu People's Pioneers, the Federation of Students, the Women's Alumni Association, and all kinds of students, warmly celebrating the cessation of the civil war and the anti-Japanese national united front

However, judging from the attitude of the military commanders, Lu Chengzhou clearly realized that the cooperation between the KMT and the CPC was only superficial.

Even if the KMT and the CCP cooperate, the Communist Party is still the party-state's worst enemy.

I have to say, it's sad.

Lu Chengzhou has no power to change these things, he can only do his own thing.

The information collected by the British Concession, after Lu Chengzhou passed the screening, will be transferred to Kawasaki Hiroshi.

As for the Japanese intelligence, Lu Chengzhou will report it to the military commander and the underground party in a timely manner.

"Mr. Li, the people at No. 3 along No. 26 Road, have all moved away recently?" When Lu Chengzhou saw Li Xiangxue, he suddenly asked.

In the end, he did not change the patrol of Route 26, and sometimes, too deliberately, it would make people feel suspicious.

"Yes, the Party Central Committee is in Yan'an, and it has convened a meeting of party representatives in the white area to discuss major issues of resistance against Japan, and several comrades of the Haigu Municipal Party Committee have rushed to Yan'an. The new municipal party committee will have a new location. Li Xiangxue said slowly.

Originally, he thought about it for two days before talking to Lu Chengzhou.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengzhou had already noticed this matter.

Obviously, the safety of the municipal party committee organs is always on Lu Chengzhou's heart.

"That's good." Lu Chengzhou was stunned and didn't ask any more.

There must be a reason why the municipal party committee did not work at the original location.

There must be a reason for moving out of your own jurisdiction.

"During the period when the municipal party committee organ was on No. 26 Road, you secretly protected the safety of the municipal party committee, and your superiors were still very satisfied with your performance." Li Xiangxue said with a smile.

"So, my mission is over?" Lu Chengzhou asked.

"You've done your job well." Li Xiangxue said.

He did not explain why the new municipal party committee organs were no longer placed in Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction.

Fortunately, Lu Chengzhou didn't ask.

After all, this involves another sensitive issue, the issue of Lu Chengzhou's loyalty to the party.

Since Lu Chengzhou joined the party, Li Xiangxue has never doubted Lu Chengzhou's loyalty.

However, the new comrades were unwilling to put the organs in Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction, and he had no choice.

In fact, even if Lu Chengzhou asked, Li Xiangxue would not tell him.

"With the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the anti-Japanese national united front was formed, but in my opinion, the military commanders are still deeply wary of our party." Lu Chengzhou said with a sigh.

"No matter what the military command thinks, we must promote the formation of an anti-Japanese national united front. The Kuomintang has always dared not resist Japan, and we must pull them onto the road of resistance against Japan. I'm sure a lot of people will slowly change. Li Xiangxue said slowly.

"Perhaps, when the Japanese show their hideous faces, the Chinese will wake up." Lu Chengzhou said with a sigh.

On July 7, 1937, the Japanese imperialist invading army, Setsuro Shimizu's squadron, launched an attack on the Chinese army at Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beiping at about 7 o'clock in the evening, creating the Lugou Bridge Incident.

From then on, the heroic anti-Japanese national liberation war of the Chinese people began.

On July 8, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a telegram to the whole country, calling on "the compatriots, the government and the army of the whole country to unite and build a strong Great Wall of the national united front to resist the Japanese invasion."

After the Lugou Bridge incident, Lu Chengzhou would stay at the staff headquarters of the North China Garrison Army in Haiguang Temple at night.

Nominally, it was to report information on the British Concession to Hiroshi Kawasaki and accept a new mission.

In fact, he was more interested in spying on Japanese intelligence.

Lu Chengzhou has been working for the Japanese secret service for more than three years, and his "loyalty" has won Kawasaki Hiroshi's praise.

In the assassination of Tashiro Tashiro by Takashi Takai, Lu Chengzhou performed well and won praise from Chief of Staff Hashimoto Group and Commander Tashiro Wanichiro many times.

After the Lugou Bridge incident, Lu Chengzhou went to Haiguang Temple for the first time, which was also a manifestation of his heart for the imperial army.

Lu Chengzhou was at Haiguang Temple, closed his mouth and did not speak Chinese, and spoke standard Japanese, making people forget that he was already a Chinese.

"Kawasaki-sensei, I hope to join the Imperial Japanese Army and defeat the Chinese army on the battlefield." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly in Japanese.

"Your task is still in the British Concession, and you must pay attention to the attitude of the British at all times." Hiroshi Kawasaki was satisfied with Lu Chengzhou's attitude towards fighting.

However, the current situation is favorable to the Japanese army, Lu Chengzhou is an intelligence officer, and the Japanese army needs him to do more work in this regard.

"Yes." Lu Chengzhou said disappointedly.

"Don't worry, if you want to work with the Chinese army, there will be opportunities in the future." Kawasaki Hiroshi patted Lu Chengzhou on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Commander Tashiro Wan's illness, do you want me to ask a Chinese medicine doctor to take a look? Chinese medicine is sometimes more magical than Western medicine. Lu Chengzhou asked again.

"No, the commander has a heart problem, and there is no way for Chinese medicine." Kawasaki shook his head.

Early in the morning, Lu Chengzhou left Haiguang Temple on his bicycle.

However, after he returned to the British Concession, he did not go to Gordon Hall first, but met with Liu Youjun.

The fighting in Beiping has already begun, and the national army urgently needs the latest intelligence of the North China garrison.

"Tashiro Wanichiro is sick in bed and can no longer work normally, and the military affairs of the North China garrison army are temporarily represented by Chief of Staff Hashimoto Group." Lu Chengzhou said.

Wanichiro Tashiro had always had a heart attack, and after arriving in Haigu, his condition got worse.

During this time, there was no way to work normally, which invisibly helped the Chinese army.

"What is the response plan for the Lugou Bridge incident?" Liu Youjun asked.

Zheng Wenyou's military intelligence team, although it has been monitoring the movements of the Japanese army.

However, monitoring from the outside is, after all, very restrictive.

If the Japanese army moves quietly, the military intelligence team may not be able to find out.

Even if it was discovered, it was impossible to know what troops the Japanese had mobilized and how many they had numbered.

Hashimoto ordered all troops stationed in Haigu to be ready to dispatch at any time at three o'clock in the morning. At the same time, the order was given to the brigade commander who was reviewing the troops in Qinhuangdao to return to Beiping immediately. At the same time, the 2nd Brigade, the 1st Tank Squadron, the 2nd Artillery Brigade, and the 1st Engineer Squadron of the 1st Wing of the Haiguangsi Barracks set off from Haigu at noon today and headed for Fengtai to be under the command of the riverside. Lu Chengzhou said.

"So, a small half of the Japanese troops in the Haiguang Temple barracks have to be transferred?" Liu Youjun frowned.

"Yes, the Japanese army in Haigu is empty at the moment." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.

The Japanese army has been planning for a long time, and perhaps, this is the fuse of the all-out war between China and Japan.

However, some people still believe that the Lugou Bridge incident is only a local friction and can be controlled.

"What do you want to say?" Liu Youjun asked.

"Take the opportunity to destroy the Japanese army in Haigu! In the Haiguangsi barracks, only the 79th Wing of the 20th Division remains, and although there are more than 30 planes and an infantry squadron at the Dongjuzi Airport, as long as it is properly planned, it can be taken down. As for the General Railway Administration and the East Station, there was only one squad of Japanese troops. Lu Chengzhou said.

Since 1937, Lu Chengzhou has been particularly sensitive to the deployment of the Japanese army.

This is also the original intention of his entry into the Japanese secret service.

"Our task is to gather intelligence and understand the attitude of both sides to the incident." Liu Youjun shook his head.

Lu Chengzhou's idea is too naïve, and rashly expanding the situation may really trigger a Sino-Japanese war.

The Kuomintang only collected intelligence and followed the development of the situation, but the Communist Party took active action.

On 9 July, Haigu's Ta Kung Pao and Yi Shi Bao reported the news of the Lugou Bridge Incident launched by the Japanese invading army with eye-catching headlines.

So far, all walks of life in Haigu have taken action to support the Chinese army in defending the territory and resisting the war.

The Haigu Federation of Students established the "Lugou Bridge Anti-Japanese War Support Association" to carry out fund-raising activities and mobilize students to run to the streets to publicize the anti-Japanese resistance.

At the same time, representatives were sent to Fengtai and Wanping to express condolences to the anti-Japanese warriors at the forward positions of the 29th Army in Fengtai and Wanping.

On July 11, the students of Nankai University published the "Letter to the People from All Walks of Life for the Lugou Bridge Incident", putting forward the slogan of "supporting the 29th Army to resist Japan".

However, on July 12, the new commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, Kiyoshi Kazuki, arrived in Haigu.

At the same time, the Kwantung Army entered Haigu.

The Japanese army in Haigu was replenished, and the national army lost one of its best opportunities.

After Lu Chengzhou reported to Liu Youjun in time, the latter didn't care, the current war has not spread to Haigu, and the national army also believes that this is a friction incident.

"Recently, various anti-Japanese groups led by the Communist Party have poured into the British Concession, and while paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army, we should also pay attention to their movements." Liu Youjun reminded.

"Yes. Can this information also be shared with the Japanese? Lu Chengzhou asked.

"Of course." Liu Youjun nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Chengzhou thinks like this, only then is he a qualified military commander.

The Communist Party will always be the great enemy of the party-state, and even if the Japanese start a war, this will not change.

If he could get rid of the Communist Party with the help of the Japanese, Liu Youjun would definitely not oppose it.

On July 14th, the Haigu National Salvation Federation was established in the British Concession Li Shun Hotel.

Although the Haigu National Salvation Federation is led by the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, it is a subordinate organization of the North China National Salvation Federation.

However, as Liu Youjun said, Lu Chengzhou must report the matter to Kawasaki Hong as soon as possible.

The Haigu National Salvation Federation is an open group, and even if Lu Chengzhou doesn't report it, Kawasaki Hiroshi will soon be able to know.

"Lu Jun, this Haigu National Salvation Federation from all walks of life will definitely cause trouble for the Japanese Empire, do you have any way to deal with it?" After receiving Lu Chengzhou's report, Kawasaki asked.

"Their leader lives in the Li Shun Hotel, as long as a few people are arranged, they can all be killed." Lu Chengzhou made a gesture of cutting his head.

"The British will not allow us to act at will in the concession." Kawasaki shook his head.

The British government supported the Chinese government, and as such, tolerated various anti-Japanese groups to survive in the British Concession.

"And what are the British? The Imperial Japanese Army was invincible, and with one order, it could occupy the LinkedIn Concession. I've been looking forward to that day. Lu Chengzhou said with a yearning face.

"What we have to deal with at the moment is the Chinese government, especially the anti-Japanese groups led by the Communist Party, and we must find a way to eliminate them." Hiroshi Kawasaki said firmly.

"Mr. Kawasaki, if the Imperial Army occupies Haigu, can I get a position in the new government?" Lu Chengzhou asked suddenly.
