Since the underground party came to the station, it has attached great importance to public health, built a large number of toilets and public bathhouses, helped the masses change bad hygiene habits, and launched a large-scale national health campaign.

After Zuo Zhong and others finished their visit, they came back from outside the city in disgrace. They immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath under the guidance of the border staff to avoid being infected with bacteria and causing illness.

The consolation group was a little uncomfortable with this kind of public bathhouse. Mr. Chen refused to "be frank" and decided to return to his residence to wash himself, so he hurriedly left with the overseas Chinese in Nanyang.

The spies laughed kindly when they saw this, and walked into the bathroom arm-in-arm without any resistance. There are also public bathhouses within the military command, and they have long been used to it.

Looking at the panicked backs of the condolences group, Zuo Zhong also smiled. While ordering someone to call Cui Hongyong from the Shanxi South Guerrilla Detachment, he dragged Xu Enzeng, who also wanted to run away, and pushed him in.

After half an hour.

Zuo Zhong sat in the pool, soaking his whole body in the warm water. He couldn't help but let out a long breath of comfort. The fatigue from the journey suddenly disappeared.

A few meters away from him, Xu Enzeng was like a wronged little daughter-in-law, huddled pitifully in the corner, her hands crossed on her shoulders, blocking the fat body.

Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang sat next to each other with evil smiles on their faces. Chief Xu shivered in fright, and his white fat flesh rippled like water waves, causing the spies inside and outside the pool to burst into laughter.

"Okay, stop bullying this guy."

After giving instructions in a deep voice, Zuo Zhong turned to look at Cui Hongyong next to him: "Old Cui, when are you leaving the station? You must inform Xu in advance before departure. I will have the cans delivered."

Cui Hong wrung out a towel and wiped his chest. There were several scars on it. One of the bullet holes was only a few millimeters away from his heart. If it were a little higher, he would not be able to sit here today.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

After thanking Zuo Zhong with a smile, Cui Hongyong replied seriously: "The date of our departure has been postponed, and the organization sent several veterans from the Southwest period to train the soldiers. This opportunity to improve combat effectiveness is rare.

Mr. Xu, you should know that before they joined the guerrillas, they were just ordinary people. They were full of enthusiasm but lacked basic combat literacy. With the guidance of veterans, casualties can be greatly reduced in the future. "

His tone was very happy and a little sad, obviously thinking of the guerrillas who had sacrificed in the past, such as the old soldier who became one with the Yellow River.

Zuo Zhong nodded slightly. Indeed, the biggest problem of the guerrillas is the uneven training level of their personnel. After this shortcoming is fixed, their combat effectiveness will be even more amazing as they are familiar with the terrain and local conditions.

Thinking of this, he made a suggestion: "In a few days, your army will wipe out the bandit Fang Laoliu in Qingjian County. Have you heard of this person? At that time, the condolences group and we will go to observe. Instructor Cui may wish to ask his superiors for instructions. Team accompanying.

Firstly, we are familiar with each other and I can rest assured that Mr. Chen and the others will have your protection. Secondly, by observing the operations of regular troops, the guerrillas can also learn relevant experience. Training can never compare to actual combat. "

Cui Hongyong seemed a little moved after hearing this. Fang Laoliu was the largest group of bandits in the border area. He naturally knew it. After hesitating for a moment, he said he would ask his superiors for instructions.

Qingjian County is to the north of Yanchang County and close to the Yellow River. The Qing guerrillas can directly cross the river and return to the base after the suppression, without much delay.

And being able to experience the actions of a large force in person is a good thing for the Shannan guerrillas. Cui Hong used his excitement to iron a towel and put it on his forehead, and his cheeks quickly turned red from the heat.

"Hahaha, okay."

After getting the answer he wanted, Zuo Zhong was in a good mood. After speaking, he waved his hand to ask everyone to move away, trying to "persuad" the other party to surrender again.

After receiving the order, Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang helped Xu Enzeng get up from the pool and walked out quickly. The little agents also disappeared, and the originally crowded bathroom suddenly became empty.

"Team Leader Xu, what are you doing?" Cui Hongyong frowned and asked in confusion.

"Old Cui, it's still the same thing we talked about before."

Zuo Zhong glanced at the scars on the other party's body and confessed his identity: "To be honest, my real name is Zuo Zhong, and I am the deputy director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the National Military Commission, which is the military commander.

The chairman of the committee is an elder from Zuo's hometown, and the military commander Dai Chunfeng is Zuo's mentor. As long as you are willing to surrender to the government, I will personally recommend it to the committee and Director Dai, so that you will be prosperous and prosperous for the rest of your life. "

It was a showdown and he stopped pretending. He directly told the other party that he was the deputy director of the Military Command Bureau, and his main focus was sincerity.

Cui Hong slowly turned his head to look at the smiling Zuo Zhong. He didn't even notice that the towel on his head fell into the water. After a long time, he turned his head back with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

As a qualified instructor, he certainly knew that although the military command and its predecessor, the Secret Service, did not have much dealings with the underground party, Director Dai Chunfeng also had blood debts on his hands, and the debt was not small.

During the great changes in the 16th year of the Republic of China, Dai Chunfeng performed actively. He was promoted by someone to be an executive member of the Kuomintang and leader of the secret investigation team of the General Headquarters for exposing more than 20 underground party members.

As for the name Zuo Zhong, it was mentioned many times in the briefings from the Eighth Route Army headquarters. Such a big spy came to the border area under a pseudonym, and he was definitely not here to enjoy the scenery. It is normal for Cui Hongyong to have such a reaction.

"Old Cui, please think about it." Without saying a word, Zuo Zhong leaned against the pool, closed his eyes and stopped talking. In the extremely quiet bathroom, the only sound was the ticking sound of water drops from the roof dripping into the pool.

After an unknown amount of time, with the sound of water splashing, Cui Hong stood up from the water and walked out of the bathroom without saying a word. This was his answer with practical actions.

Zuo Zhong opened his eyes and watched the other person disappear through the steaming mist at the wooden door that blocked the heat. Then he closed his eyes again and softly recalled the names of Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang. Soon the two people who had changed clothes appeared quietly. By the pool.

"you…………"

He gave an order in a deep voice. Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang nodded repeatedly, and finally turned and left without asking a single word.

Amid the smoke, Zuo Zhong's lips slightly raised and returned to normal in an instant. It wasn't until the water in the pool cooled down that he took the spies back to his residence. However, he was stopped by the radio operator as soon as he entered.

"Team leader, this is a top-secret message from above."

The operator said as he handed over a telegraph paper with both hands. The paper was full of complex cipher codes, which had obviously not been deciphered yet.

This is an old rule of the military. For general or daily telegrams, the operator has a code book, but for classified telegrams, only senior officers have code books, in order to minimize the scope of intelligence dissemination.

Zuo Zhong took a look and found that the message was from He Yijun. He immediately returned to his room and closed the door. He took out his code book and compared it with the code and began to decipher it.

"Nobita" is getting engaged?

Fiancée or a Japanese spy?

Looking at the deciphered message, Zuo Zhong was quite surprised. He did not expect that Hase Ryosuke would have such an opportunity. Japanese social classes were severely consolidated, and it was tantamount to wishful thinking for an ordinary family to get married to a locust family.

High-level members of the Locust Chamber even marry close relatives to ensure the purity of their "bloodline". I don't know if it is useful, but it is true that they gave birth to a lot of deformed children.

He suppressed his doubts and continued to read, showing an expression of sudden realization. It turned out that Hase's fiancée was introduced by Doihara, an old devil, so it was not surprising.

Even though Doihara's military rank was not high, because he was engaged in intelligence work and had interacted with many important people, he still had some respect by introducing a distant relative from the Locust Room to Hase.

And Zuo Zhongyong guessed right, the relatives of the "noble girl" in the Locust House must be so poor that they only have blood. Don't think that the Locust House is all rich people, and there are many poor people in the house.

However, the purpose of this old boy Doihara may not be pure. Zuo Zhong's eyes flashed. King Higashino Miyanohiko is both the uncle of the Japanese army and the uncle of the Japanese army (that's right). In Japan, he can It is said that he is so powerful.

With Ryousuke Hase's relationship with Prince Higashinominiya and his own "efforts", the upward path was completely opened and his future was bright.

At the critical moment, Doihara could use his identity as a matchmaker to get Changgu's help and move forward, but the other party never dreamed that Changgu was already a non-national.

Zuo Chong burned the telegram after reading it, went to the cave where the radio station was located, and ordered the operator to send two telegrams to the bureau headquarters.

One is to report the situation of the past two days, and the other is to ask Dai Chunfeng for instructions on how to deal with Fang Laoliu. This matter involves the military, so you still have to say hello.

The performance of the high-power radio station was excellent, and the speed of sending and receiving signals was very fast. It didn't take long for Shancheng's reply message to be delivered to Zuo Zhong.

Dai Chunfeng had no objection to his request. For a guerrilla commander, he could explore the Eighth Route Army's background. This deal was a good deal, and some people in the second theater would never object.

Fang Laoliu is just a glove, the black one. Compared with his own wealth and life, those military leaders should know which one is more important.

After handling the matter, Zuo Zhong tidied up his clothes and headed to the office of the Ministry of Social Affairs. After being informed by the security guard, he met Deputy Minister Li. The two sat in the reception room and chatted.

"Team Leader Xu, what are you doing here? Are you trying to persuade Li to join the Chairman?" Vice Minister Li asked half-seriously.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Zuo Zhong knew that Cui Hongyong had already reported what happened in the bathroom to the other party, so he smiled awkwardly, then approached Vice Minister Li and gently asked a question.

"Old Li, do you want to know who the spy is?"

Vice Minister Li's smile slowly faded, and he looked at Zuo Zhong seriously. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he immediately guessed what the national intelligence ace might have discovered.

After all, the military commander and the Japanese had fought against each other many times before the war and had the upper hand. They were very familiar with the operating style of Japanese intelligence agencies and knew the weaknesses of Japanese spies. The findings of the other party must be taken seriously.

The crowded reception room was not the place to talk, so Vice Minister Li invited Zuo Zhong to his office. The two parties talked in secret for several hours and jointly determined some of the next plans.

At the same time, outside an abandoned cave dwelling in the border area, a dark figure looked around to make sure there was no one around, then hurriedly entered and then left.
