Lin Yuan made up his mind and informed the navy in Vladivostok to reconnoiter and blockade the sea near the port of Cheongjin, and to make preparations to cut off the sea passage for the Japanese army to support Cheongjin from the mainland.

Vladivostok's navy is equipped with eight Beast-class destroyers, all of which are the latest warships to be launched, but only the Fire Phoenix has participated in the naval battle against the Russian Pacific Fleet, and they set off for reconnaissance in the waters near the port of Cheongjin after receiving the order.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, the war was about to begin, and three days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon of January 23, Shen Wanqing suddenly found Lin Yuan with a panicked expression and said, "Oh no, something is wrong!" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Our intelligence network in Qingjin has been destroyed by the enemy!" ”

Lin Yuan immediately asked, "What is the extent of the destruction?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "The radio station was discovered, the person in charge was arrested, all contacts were cut off, and now we don't know about their situation." ”

Lin Yuan said anxiously, "How could they be discovered by the enemy? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "It's not clear yet, we only know the news that the radio station is unusable and the person in charge has been arrested. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then how many of our agents will be killed?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "I don't know, but don't worry too much, our organization is very tight, all of them take a single line of contact, everyone only knows his superiors and subordinates, and he doesn't know the superiors and subordinates of his superiors, so the person in charge does not have a full list in his hands, he only has a few people in his hands, and it is not very easy for the Japanese army to catch these people." ”

Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "If the loss is not very big, then it's good." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "But our 'Hidden Eagle Plan' has completely failed, and the 'Hidden Eagle Plan' is a plan to penetrate into the interior of the Japanese position, blow up the pine resin, and divide the enemy army. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Is there anything to do with these two things?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "The 'Hidden Eagle' plan was personally grasped by the person in charge, and when the Japanese army recruited laborers, everyone found a guarantor, and the guarantor of our agents was the person in charge!" ”

Lin Yuan frowned, and said angrily: "The person in charge is so important, how can he come forward to protect his labor?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "I am not responsible for the whole plan, and I don't know what is going on, but they must have thought about it like this at the time: even if the laborers set fire to the pine resin of the Japanese army, it will not even affect the guarantor, because the guarantor can say that he received the money, and he does not know the character of the laborer, this kind of thing is commonplace, and the Japanese army will not be careful." ”

"But now the person in charge has been arrested, and the Japanese army has followed the vine, and the first one to be arrested is our agents, and our agents have gone in a total of five, even if they are not caught and killed by the Japanese army, they will be controlled by the Japanese army, and the 'Hidden Eagle Plan' will not succeed."

After Shen Wanqing finished speaking, she lowered her head and was silent, Lin Yuan said: "Okay Wanqing, don't be sad, now that things have happened, it's useless to be sad, so let's go and deploy the matter of rescuing the agents, and I will reformulate the attack plan." ”

"I am also to blame for this matter, I didn't think much about it when you told me to send agents, but now that I think about it, if I didn't think about getting the Japanese radar, I could blow up the Japanese radar in advance, and then blow up their artillery positions, I wouldn't need to let the agents take risks, this matter is my fault."

At this moment, the phone on Lin Yuan's desk suddenly rang, and Lin Yuan picked up the phone and asked, "Who?" ”

Xiao Yingwu's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Shuai, it's me." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Suddenly thick smoke rose from the direction of the Japanese position, and the concentration of smoke was much greater than the previous times, covering the sky, as if the Japanese army had set all the pine resin on fire. ”

Lin Yuan was speechless in surprise after hearing this, and turned back to Shen Wanqing and said, "Wanqing, the 'Hidden Eagle Scheme' seems to have succeeded!" ”

Shen Wanqing hurriedly asked, "What?" How can it be successful? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Division Commander Xiao said: Smoke suddenly rose from the Japanese position, covering the sky, we did not dispatch fighters, it stands to reason that they have no reason to ignite pine resin, but now that the smoke is rising, it must be our agents who have succeeded!" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Didn't the Japanese arrest our agents? Impossible! The first thing the Japanese did after they caught our person in charge was to find someone who had a relationship with the person in charge, and those agents bore the brunt of it, how could they have the opportunity to set fire? ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do, but now is not the time to analyze this matter." Lin Yuan turned back to Xiao Yingwu and said: "Old Xiao, you immediately order your artillery unit to launch an artillery bombardment on the Japanese mountain pass defense position, and then send a small force to cross the Tumen River and march towards the Japanese mountain pass defense position, but you are a feint, understand?" ”

Xiao Yingwu said: "Understood! ”

Lin Yuan immediately put down the phone, and Shen Wanqing asked on the side, "What are you going to do here?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I want to make the Japanese army feel that I am going to attack the Japanese mountain pass position in a big way, and they will definitely be ready to bombard the river with heavy artillery, so that the Japanese army will not have much energy to extinguish the fire ignited by pine resin!" ”

Xiao Yingwu's order, the artillery immediately turned the muzzle, fired at the Japanese mountain pass position, for a time the shells fell on the Japanese position, although the hit was not very accurate, but the Japanese scared enough, the Japanese army hurriedly notified the artillery position, asked for support, and at this time Xiao Yingwu sent a feint force also began to cross the river, Abe Shinichi also notified the artillery position after seeing it on the observation post, the artillery position immediately opened fire on the ice, and suddenly opened countless ice holes on the ice.

The purpose of Lin Yuan's troops was to make a feint, so as soon as they heard the sound of shells flying, they fled back to the north bank of the Tumen River at full speed, and waited until the sound of shells was gone.

Lin Yuan knew that the air force would not be able to dispatch if the fire in Ludao continued, so he ordered Xu Feng to wait slowly and not to worry, but after Lin Yuan finished informing Xu Feng, he thought in his heart: "I wonder if the fire in Ludao has burned out the pine resin of the Japanese army?" ”

Lin Yuan was thinking about it, when suddenly Shen Wanqing came in and said, "Good news! ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly stood up and asked, "What good news?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Intelligence networks in other regions have reported back that the Japanese army has begun to collect pine resin from other regions. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Great, this shows that the Japanese army's pine resin is about to be burned out!" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "There is another better news! ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "It is said that blessings are incomparable, disasters are not alone, and good things come in pairs today!" Hurry up and talk about it, what's the good thing? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "The Japanese want to transport our agents they captured back to Japan!" The mode of transportation is by sea, and the time is today. They were going to use a commercial transport ship called the Fukurinmaru to transport our agents, including the agents who were said to have set fire to the Japanese positions, and we could not only rescue our agents but also figure out what was going on in the Japanese positions. How the hell did our people set the fire? ”
