Meng Zhongheng took the telegram he had received a few days before and after in his hand, looked at them one by one, and analyzed the content of the telegram in his hand with the eyes of an old intelligence officer.

"On the 10th of November, the army brought a train of various ammunition supplies from Tianjin, parked in the Taiyuan material warehouse, and sent heavy troops to protect it, and there was no intention of transporting it away."

"On November 14, the army dispatched a security force of more than 5,000 people from Beiping to Shijiazhuang, declaring that it was to strengthen the defense force in the Shijiazhuang area."

"On 16 November, in the name of assembling exercises, the army transferred about three wings of troops from various county towns to the military camp in Taiyuan. However, so far, the troops of nearly 10,000 people have not moved.

"On the 19th, the Shijiazhuang army received a large amount of supplies from Tianjin, and the bureau first counted that this batch of materials was enough for a month's combat supply of a division and regiment."

"On the 20th, the Taiyuan Army Headquarters once again transferred the troops of two wings to the Taiyuan military camp in the surrounding county strongholds, and the specific reason is unknown."

"What the hell does the army want to do? Such a covert dispatch of troops and transportation of large quantities of materials is not like the style of the army all along? Meng Zhongheng said to his deputy.

"Judging from these pieces of information, the army must be trying to hide some actions, as for why they spent so much effort to transfer troops from all over the country, and specially transported a large number of supplies from Tianjin, I am not particularly clear, it depends on the next move of the army." The deputy replied.

"Well, we can only see the cards now, and issue an order to the intelligence officers in various places, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of the army during this time, and require that every move of the army be sent to the headquarters." Meng Zhongheng said.

"I agree," the deputy nodded at Meng Zhongheng.

And just like that, another two days passed peacefully. On this day, November 23rd. The head of the intelligence department, Meng Zhongheng, still studied the information sent from all over the country last night as usual to see if there was anything valuable. At this moment, his partner, Deputy Director Wang, hurriedly walked in.

"You all go down first" Seeing Meng Zhongheng sitting in the General Intelligence Department, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time ordered several other people in the room to go out.

Meng Zhongheng raised his head and looked at his partner suspiciously, and after a few people closed the door, Meng Zhongheng began to speak. "Lao Wang, what's going on, it's mysterious,"

Deputy Director Wang didn't speak, walked to the table and handed Meng Zhongheng a few telegrams. Meng Zhongheng took the telegram and looked at it carefully. Slowly, his brow began to furrow.

"Is this true?" Meng Zhongheng asked with a frown.

Deputy Director Wang nodded.

"Lao Wang, if the army really wants to deliver a large number of supplies from Taiyuan to Jinzhong City as the intelligence officers said, then his fox tail will also be exposed, you know, Jinzhong City is a fringe city of the First Army Division in our base area, with strong fortifications, which is very suitable for being a material transfer station." "Well, I also think so, the army wants to store the materials in the fortress of Jinzhong City. The purpose must be to facilitate them to provide to the front line at any time, but is this front line not here for us" Deputy Director Wang looked at Meng Zhongheng suspiciously.

"I want to keep the intelligence officers concerned, Taiyuan has already moved, Shijiazhuang is also fast, and the big battle is imminent, the grain and grass go first, and the troops of the army are about to move."

"Yes, I'll give the order," Deputy Director Wang finished speaking, turned around and left Meng Zhongheng's office.

However, less than an hour after Deputy Director Wang left, the door of his room was pushed open again, and Lao Wang hurriedly walked in with a telegram.

"Is there a situation with the army?" Meng Zhongheng raised his head and asked.

"Yes, look at it, it's a devil from Shijiazhuang,"

"So many devils went to a county town to participate in offensive and defensive drills, did they deceive children? Is the information exact? After reading the telegram in his hand, Meng Zhongheng did not frown as he did just now, but said with a smile. Because we know the specific deployment of the military, the rest of the matter is handed over to the army.

"Very accurately, according to the reconnaissance of the intelligence officers, the army and the security army have already driven out of Shijiazhuang, and the target is Jingcheng County. The number of people is about two wings of the Chinese army, and one division of the public security army has 5,000 people, which is a division of the public security army that has just been transferred from Beiping. Lao Wang replied in the affirmative.

"Well, the fox's tail is finally revealed, and after a few days of speculation, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Lao Wang, go. Come with me to the headquarters and report the situation to the commander and commissar. As he spoke, he took out a few more telegrams from the drawer of his desk and walked towards the door of the office, with Lao Wang following behind.

Since the intelligence department had important information reported to the headquarters at any time, the distance between the two departments was not very far, and in less than five minutes, Meng Zhongheng and his partner came to the door of the headquarters. Staff Officer Zhou, who was on duty at the headquarters, immediately saw that it was the chief of the intelligence department who was coming, and greeted him warmly.

"Director Meng, you are in such a hurry, is there anything wrong?" Staff Officer Zhou saw Meng Zhongheng in a hurry, and didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked.

"Well, is the commander here, I'm going to see him right now!" Meng Zhongheng nodded and asked.

"The commander and the political commissar are here, I'll take you over" Seeing Meng Zhongheng nodding heavily, Staff Officer Zhou also knew that something big must have happened, so he immediately took the two of them to Liu Hua and the political commissar's office.

"Commander, political commissar, emergency" came to Liu Hua's office, the door was open, and the political commissar was sitting in front of the commander, discussing something. Meng Zhongheng didn't care about any understanding, and hurriedly walked in with his partner.

"Eh, it's Director Meng and Deputy Director Wang, what's going on, so anxious, say slowly" Seeing Meng Zhongheng with a nervous face, Liu Hua and the political commissar immediately stopped and looked at the two people standing in front of them.

"Commander, political commissar, the devil is estimated to have a big operation in the next few days, and the target of the action is likely to be the Jinyi base we have just established, according to the current intelligence, the ultimate target of the army should be us here. That is, Zhangjiazhuang, the headquarters of the base area. Meng Zhongheng's bombshell suddenly shocked Liu Hua and the political commissar speechless.

"Is the information accurate, is there any basis?" Liu Hua reacted quickly and asked with a frown.

"Yes, this is all kinds of useful information that our intelligence department has collected in the past half a month," said Meng Zhongheng, handing over a piece of information. The two took it and looked at it seriously. Slowly, the brows of the two people furrowed, verifying the correct surname of what Meng Zhongheng said.

"Director Meng, you are a veteran in intelligence, you tell us your analysis and let us hear it." Liu Hua said.

"Yes, Commander. I analyzed it this way, since the devil is so tightly deployed this time, it indicates that this sweep of the devil will be different from the previous sweep. Therefore, we must make full preparations in our base areas. I think this encirclement and suppression battle of the devils must be unprecedented. Also, the devils chose the cold winter to sweep them, which also showed their determination this time. Meng Zhongheng paused, and saw that the commander and political commissar were listening carefully to their analysis.

"Well, why do you say that the devil's sweep this time will be unprecedented.?" Liu Hua asked.

"Commander, no matter what, winter is the time when our base area is most lacking in materials, I think the devil chose the winter to attack, on the one hand, through political means, cut off the passage between us and the outside world, so that we can't get enough supplies, so that the soldiers, the people in the base area lose confidence in us. On the other hand, through military struggle, it can be said that destroying our army without supplies in one fell swoop can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

"Well, very good, the analysis is very thorough, you go down first, pay attention to the army in Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang at any time, as long as there is any movement, report to the headquarters immediately. Also, this matter must be kept secret, only a few of us know about it before the battle begins. Liu Hua nodded in praise.

"Yes, commander, political commissar, resolutely complete the task" After listening to the commander's praise, Meng Zhongheng and Lao Wang replied excitedly.

"Commander, the devil has finally acted after holding it for so long, and I don't know how many troops the devil will send this time! I'm really worried! The base area has just developed peacefully for less than two months, and the pace of development will be disrupted by the war again. Seeing the two Meng Zhongheng who left, the political commissar sighed.

"Well, I'm also worried about the people in the base area, many of our local base axes have been established for less than two months, and I don't know if the villagers can survive this sweep. However, political commissar, our rapid reaction brigade has also been training for almost two months, with sufficient ammunition and high morale, and it is time to take it out for training. Liu Hua said confidently.

"Well, Commander, I believe in you. You know, you've never let me down since you became your partner. This time, I also support you unconditionally, Commander, you can do whatever you want, without my consent. After listening to Liu Hua's words, the political commissar also replied with excitement on his face.

"Commissar, don't worry, I won't let you down. By the way, speaking of the Rapid Response Brigade, we haven't been to see those kids for a month, so let's go see their training tomorrow and check their recent training results by the way. You must know that during this time, I let the soldiers of the special operations brigade squat in three regiments to grasp training. Liu Hua proposed.

"Okay, I agree, after all, we are both the brigade commander and political commissar of the rapid reaction brigade?" The political commissar said with a smile, not seeing the nervousness just now.
