In September 1944, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a local counteroffensive.

The central Hebei District Party Committee decided to establish the Wuqing County Working Committee of the CPC at the junction of the seven counties of Wen'an, Jinghai, Dacheng, Wuqing, Anci, Yongqing, and Baxian to open up the Wuqing County area.

With the expansion of the opening up area, the Wubao Song Working Committee of the Communist Party of China held a meeting in Erwangzhuang, Baodi County, and divided the area under its jurisdiction into eight.

At the same time, the CPC's Jirebian Special Committee issued the "Decision on Carrying Out the Rent Reduction Campaign" to extensively mobilize the masses, implement the 25th Five-Year Plan rent reduction, establish peasant organizations in general, consolidate the existing peasant associations, and strengthen the leadership of the rural branches.

In October, in accordance with the spirit of the instructions of the CPC Central Committee to expand the liberated areas and reduce the enemy-occupied areas, the Jizhong District Party Committee decided to turn the occupied areas of Jinnan into liberated areas and to establish the Jinnan County Working Committee of the CPC.

The ant intelligence team provided each squadron of the Dangjinnan detachment with a certificate of the special high section of the Japanese gendarmerie, so that the Jinnan detachment could move freely on the east side of the Jinpu Railway, specifically to crack down on traitors and intercept enemy military supplies.

The actions of the Jinnan detachment made the Japanese puppet authorities fearful, calling them "black raiders".

No matter how the Japanese puppet authorities intercepted it and how they arranged it, they could not find any clues about the "black attack team".

On November 10, 1944, Wang Yi of Nanjing died of illness at the Imperial University Hospital in Nagoya, Japan.

When the news came, the "whole country" was shocked.

Of course, Lu Chengzhou and Ma Yuzhen celebrated well in the evening, and Wang Yi's death showed that the Nanjing government was about to fall.

Lu Chengzhou took out a bottle of treasured red wine, lit a candle in the middle of the table, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Cheers, celebrate the upcoming victory." ”

As an old ground worker who has been lurking in the enemy camp for more than ten years, Lu Chengzhou is very clear about the situation of the Japanese puppet.

Judging by the recent performance of the Japanese puppet authorities, it seems that the Japanese army has reached the point where it is unsustainable.

Their crushing defeat in the Pacific theater and the loss of millions of German men in the attack on the Soviet Union were a sign that the Axis alliance would soon be over.

Ma Yuzhen raised her glass, touched it with Lu Chengzhou, and said with a smile: "I hope this day will come soon." ”

Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips and said slowly: "This day will not be too long, but we must also guard against the final crazy counterattack of the Japanese army." ”

Ma Yuzhen nodded and said, "I heard that the Japanese army ordered several large textile companies in Haigu to dismantle their equipment and donate copper and iron, such as Yufeng, Shanghai, and Gongda's six factories to partially stop production. ”

In order to obtain supplies, the Japanese army has reached the point of quenching their thirst by drinking.

Lu Chengzhou listened silently, he already knew about it.

Lu Chengzhou said slowly: "The Japanese army has reached the end of the crossbow, we must remain vigilant, and at present, our duty, in addition to cooperating with the work of party committees at all levels, must also do our best to protect them." ”

Ma Yuzhen listened carefully to Lu Chengzhou's words, party committees at all levels have frequent activities in Haigu, and if there is no Lu Chengzhou, it would be difficult for them to enter the working state so quickly.

You must know that there are many secret agencies in Haigu, even if there is the cover of the ant intelligence team, it may not be impossible to make mistakes.

Ma Yuzhen suddenly asked: "I heard a news that your position is going to be transferred again, right?" ”

As a reporter for Gugu Monthly, Ma Yuzhen is very well-informed.

There is some news, she even knew it earlier than Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou bowed slightly, the matter had not been completely settled, so he naturally didn't talk to Ma Yuzhen.

With these things, Lu Chengzhou developed a habit of only saying affirmative words.

Hiroshi Kawasaki did tell him to go to the police station as a chief.

At present, Lu Chengzhou is only one sub-director, while Haigu has twelve sub-bureaus, and if Lu Chengzhou serves as the director, his power will be expanded twelve times in an instant.

Lu Chengzhou said softly: "Kawasaki Hiroshi mentioned to me whether he would like to be the chief of police. Do you know, Kanjiro Shibayama is going to be transferred, and the newly appointed Toshio Matsui and Hiroshi Kawasaki are old acquaintances. Every time the head of the special service of the Japanese Haigu Army is transferred, the personnel at the upper level of Haigu will be greatly moved. ”

The administrative body of Haigu is ostensibly the Haigu Municipal Office.

But in fact, it has always been the Japanese Haigu Army secret service that controls Haigu.

Toshio Matsui and Hiroshi Kawasaki have known each other before, and the two have a good relationship.

Toshio Matsui's appointment as the head of the special service of the Japanese Haigu Army is a good thing for Hiroshi Kawasaki.

Hiroshi Kawasaki, the captain of the gendarmerie, has greater autonomy.

When Hiroshi Kawasaki suggested that Lu Chengzhou should be the chief of the Haigu police, as long as Toshio Matsui nodded, there should be no problem on the side of the city office.

Ma Yuzhen quipped: "I see that you will be able to take office in a few days, so I will congratulate Director Lu in advance." ”

In Ma Yuzhen's words, in early December 1944, Lu Chengzhou officially served as the Haigu police chief.

A few days later, Li Xiangxue came to Haigu again.

With Lu Chengzhou, the biggest police chief, covering, Li Xiangxue's safety has no problems.

Still at No. 18 No. 24 Road, Lu Chengzhou met with Li Xiangxue first.

After Li Xiangxue saw Lu Chengzhou, he held his hand tightly, smiled and said, "Congratulations on becoming the police chief, and the work of our party will be much easier in the future." ”

With this identity, Lu Chengzhou will greatly benefit the work of party committees at all levels in Haigu.

It can be said that our party can unscrupulously recruit party members in Haigu.

As for their cover identity, there will be no problems at all, as long as they do not disclose the identity of the Communist Party, basic activities, there will be no problems.

Lu Chengzhou said a little nervously: "I will do my best to cooperate with the work of party committees at all levels." In addition, Wang Linfu was officially transferred, and I concurrently served as the head of the North China Working Group. It's just that on the side of the gendarmerie, if they find clues and need our cooperation, I'm afraid they can only help. ”

Li Xiangxue nodded, Lu Chengzhou had been lurking in the enemy camp for many years, and he knew very well what things he had to do.

Li Xiangxue said slowly: "Your task is still to be lurking, and everything is premised on your own safety. ”

Li Xiangxue's words made Lu Chengzhou feel a little relieved.

He said solemnly: "I believe that even if a comrade is arrested by mistake, there will be a way to let them out." ”

Li Xiangxue said in a deep voice: "There is no need to explain, I have always believed in you." This time I will come to Haigu, and I will meet with the comrades of the General Party Branch of the Haigu Anti-Japanese Federation, the Bohai District Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the comrades of the Central Hebei District Party Committee and the Eastern Hebei District Party Committee. In addition to doing a good job in the factories and schools in the city, we must also carry out the work in the field of Japanese counterfeiting. Your identity is a very advantageous condition. ”

Lu Chengzhou smiled and said: "Warmly welcome comrades from organizations at all levels to enter the police station, the North China Working Group, and the intelligence room of the gendarmerie. ”

Li Xiangxue was amused by Lu Chengzhou's words, yes, with Lu Chengzhou's cooperation, our comrades can easily break into the enemy and hypocrisy.
