Baoding. Mancheng County.

According to the information sent back by military intelligence personnel, the Japanese army first escorted the children from the Nursery School of the Eighth Route Army to the Gendarmerie Headquarters in Baoding City, and then secretly transferred them to the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Mancheng. full city.

Mancheng is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, which was the boundary between Yannan and Zhaobei in ancient times, and belongs to Baoding, the capital of Hebei Province.The geographical location of Mancheng is very important. It is not only the west gate of Baoding, but more importantly, it has convenient transportation. It is only 19 kilometers away from Baoding and less than 150 kilometers away from transportation hubs such as Beiping, Tianjin and Shimen.It has always been an important strategic base of the Japanese army, and it is also the location of the largest Japanese prisoner-of-war concentration camp and prisoner-of-war shelter in Hebei.

On November 11th, Chen Tiebao led more than 20 members of the Special Forces to lurk in Mancheng. However, because the Japanese army kept the movements of these children extremely secret, so far they knew that the children were being held in the Mancheng prisoner-of-war camp. , nothing else is clear.

In the warehouse in the backyard of the Xinmin rice store in Mancheng, Chen Tiebao was frowning to check the information collected by the special forces. After reading it for a while, Chen Tiebao threw the documents in his hand on the table and said, "Is this all it is?" , is there any other information?"

A young team member around 20 years old replied: "No. 2, we only got these things these days. The other little devils are very strict. In order not to startle the enemy, we have collected very limited information."

"I don't want to hear this. At least I want to know the layout of the city defense and the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops all over the city. In addition, I also need to know the situation inside the prisoner-of-war camp. Otherwise, how can we complete the task assigned by the chief?" Chen Tiebao snapped. road.

"On the 2nd, the whole city has been under martial law since three days ago. It is very dangerous for us to go out every time now. It is almost impossible to get this information without alarming the Japanese army, even if it is us. .” The young officer replied with certainty.

"Qu Weinian, what do you think we should do? This mission was requested by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. If we can't complete it, it will not only smash the brand of the special warfare division. More importantly, the chief's face will also be displeased." no light."

"No. 2. It is indeed difficult for us to be unfamiliar with the place, but we can ask Minister Hua for help. He is the Minister of Security in our war zone and is in charge of our army's intelligence agency. Mancheng is not too far from our defense zone. Presumably there should be their contact point here." Qu Weinian said.

"Good idea. Immediately send a report to Minister Hua, requesting intelligence support." Chen Tiebao said.

"Yes"

However, not long after Chen Tiebao and others sent the telegram.Inside the Japanese Mancheng City Defense Command, which is less than three kilometers away from Xinmin Midian.A second lieutenant hastily knocked on the office door of Lieutenant Kobayashi, commander of the Japanese army's Manchurian city defense.

"Come in!" But it was a woman's voice that came out of Zhongzuo Xiaolin's office.

The second lieutenant opened the door and walked in, and then said loudly to a female officer sitting in the chief seat: "Reporting to the Chief Commander, a telegram from the Chinese people has just been intercepted, but the telegram is encrypted and we cannot decipher it."

This female officer is none other than Koga Chiyoko, a foreign aid invited by the Japanese North China Front Army from the Central China Front Army.In order to lure the Eighth Route Army to take the bait, and to verify the actual combat effectiveness of Chiyoko Koga and her password team, Bin Shanyuan couldn't wait to send Chiyoko Koga to Mancheng.

"Who sent it, have you tracked down the address?" Chiyoko Koga asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting Commander, this is a brand-new frequency. We have tried it with the first and second ciphers of the Chinese government, and the deciphered things are of no value. There are still many undecipherable codes, so we judge that this is not the Chinese government army. It is also not a telegram from the World War II zone in China. It is not clear who sent the telegram. However, we have tracked down the address of this radio station, and it is in Manchengcheng.”

"Baga, Kobayashi Zhongzuo, the enemy has already sneaked into the city, but you don't know anything about it, it's unforgivable." Chiyoko Koga scolded angrily.

"Hay, I'm going to search the whole city right now, and we must catch this bastard within an hour!"

"Wait a minute, Yamazaki, bring the telegram, I'll try to decipher it first," Chiyoko Koga said.

"Hay"

The content of the telegram handed over by Captain Yamazaki was 6 digits, but nothing else.Koga Chiyoko was shocked after reading it. It was the first time he had encountered such a password, and it was different from any kind of password used by the Chinese government. Its encryption technology was very high.

After trying for a while, Koga Chiyoko finally gave up. As a cryptography expert, she knew very well that if she did not have more information about this cipher, she would not be able to decipher this cipher at all.

Just when Koga Chiyoko was about to order all the troops in the city to search for the person who sent the report, a Japanese major came in, and then handed a message to Koga Chiyoko, saying: "Captain, this is the person we just sent. We have deciphered the intercepted telegram from China’s intelligence agency, the Military Command Bureau, which uses secondary encryption technology. This is the information sent by China’s Military Command Bureau to Baoding Station, asking them to fully cooperate with China’s Eighth War Zone.”

"What are you doing with the Eighth War Zone of China?" Chiyoko Koga asked.

"Captain, we have limited information right now, so we can't judge the intentions of the Chinese people for the time being," said the Japanese Major.

"Murakami, I judge that the Baoding station of the military command will definitely contact the eighth war zone. Let's go to the telegraph room now." After speaking, Koga Chiyoko turned to Kobayashi, the commander of the Japanese army's full city defense, and said: "Kobayashi, Gather your team immediately, and you will start to act as soon as there is news from our side, and you must find out the enemies lurking near us, understand?"

"Hay!"

The telegraph room of the Japanese army was located not far from Lieutenant Kobayashi’s office. The boss’s room was filled with large and small radio stations and transmitters. Dozens of Japanese soldiers were wearing earphones to secretly monitor the surrounding area. radio situation.

Seeing Chiyoko Koga come in, a major in the conference room hastily shouted: "The captain is here, stand up!"

"Sit" Then Koga Chiyoko turned around and asked, "Yamamoto, have you discovered anything new?"

"not yet!"

As soon as Yamamoto's words fell, a second lieutenant got up and said, "Report to the captain, another telegram from the Chinese government army was intercepted."

"What's the content?" Koga Chiyoko asked.

"Report to the captain, this is a telegram sent by the Baoding Station of the Chinese Army Command to the headquarters of the Eighth War Zone of China. The content of the telegram is the situation of the troops in Mancheng and the firepower deployment map. In addition, they also mentioned the garrison force of the prisoner-of-war camp in Mancheng."

"Yoxi, continue to monitor, and report to me immediately if there is any movement." Koga Chiyoko said loudly.

"Hay!"

Koga Chiyoko turned to the officers in the telegraph room and said: "It can be basically judged now that the goal of the Eighth War Zone of China is Mancheng, which is the small city of China where we are located. In addition, their goal is probably Mancheng prisoner-of-war camp."

"Captain, why did the Eighth War Zone of China focus on that prisoner-of-war camp? As far as I know, the prisoner-of-war camp mainly held prisoners of war from the first war zone of the Chinese government. The captives are here, how could they focus on Mancheng at this time." The current chief security officer of the Koga Intelligence Brigade, Jiro Yamamoto asked with some doubts.

"This question is very simple. It means that there is something that the Eighth War Zone wants in this prisoner-of-war camp. This thing may be a person, or it may be a top-secret information. Only in this way will they focus on that prisoner-of-war camp. Wait a minute I will call that bastard Kobayashi to ask if there are any important people in that prisoner-of-war camp, so I know everything?" Chiyoko Koga said.

Xinmin Rice Store, the special operators who didn't know their intentions had been known by the Japanese, were anxiously waiting for the telegram from the intelligence department.

Xiao Zheng, who was in charge of dispatching the report, got up and reported: "On the 2nd, Minister Hua called back. He said that the Baoding station of the intelligence department has just been established, and its intelligence collection capabilities are very limited. The military command has contacted, and the military command Baoding station will come forward to assist us in our operations. All the information we need will be provided by the military command department. Just now the military command has sent the intelligence department the military strength, firepower and city defense layout of the city. Now the Japanese army is in There is a reinforced squadron with a total of 1 devils in the whole city. In addition, there is a regiment of the puppet army, about 300 people. In addition to the necessary light weapons, this Japanese army only has 800 small steel cannons and more than a dozen grenades. There is no infantry artillery, let alone heavy firepower such as mountain artillery and field artillery. But the city is only 4 kilometers away from Baoding, and the Japanese army's auto soldiers can arrive at it in half an hour at most. Therefore, as long as there is any movement here, the devils in Baoding city You will move when you hear the wind, so you must be quick, ruthless and accurate."

"Xiao Zheng, Minister Hua didn't say how the Japanese army deployed defenses all over the city?" Chen Tiebao asked again.

"Yes, Minister Hua said, according to the information collected by the military command department, the Japanese army placed a combat squad of Japanese troops and a small number of puppet troops in each of the 12 towns in the city, and usually placed two combat squads of regular Japanese troops at each city gate. And a platoon of puppet troops, and a small number of Japanese troops were placed in important positions such as barracks warehouses and railway stations. There was a Japanese squad and a puppet infantry company guarding the prisoner-of-war camp, and the rest were patrolling the streets. There are no reserves."

"Very well, the Japanese army's forces are really scattered, and our chances are not small, hehehe!" Chen Tiebao said confidently. (To be continued..)
