"They asked us to pick someone up a few days ago. I guess they have some spies inside, otherwise, they wouldn't be so active."
After listening to Zeng Jiwen's words, Wang Zhuo became serious.
"What should we do? If we reveal our strength, I'm afraid he will be even more restless."
After listening to Wang Zhuo's words, Zeng Jiwen smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, Lao Wang. If he wants to know, just let him send someone to investigate."
"Except for the Songjiazhuang and the recently built Huangyadong Arsenal, all other military factories are small-scale ones that supplement nearby troops."
"When the time comes, we can transfer some people from the small factories to the main factory and let these people go to the small factories."
"Besides, some of the people inside are ours, and the others are in the base. According to our confidentiality measures, they will be exposed sooner or later."
After listening to Zeng Jiwen's words, Wang Zhuo nodded.
Yes, at present many people in the base area only move around near where they live, and many people basically cannot go too far.
Moreover, strangers who come to the base will generally be under strict surveillance.
Not to mention the military factories, basically wherever people are, the family quarters are also there.
If a spy wants to pass on information, he can only contact strangers, which makes it easy for him to be discovered by the security department.
Ever since Hu Di let go of the Special Operations Brigade, he's stepped up the security of the base. Especially in the last month, he uncovered a large number of spies from various factions.
In addition to those in the south who were sent out with warnings, many of the Japanese spies were prepared to play the long game and catch big fish, except for some useless ones who were secretly eliminated.
Especially in Wu'an area, there is still one person left by Wu Lin ready to go fishing.
Afterwards, the three began to discuss how to cooperate with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in carrying out the autumn anti-mopping-up operation.
Previously, due to the rapid development and growth of the 389th Division in southeastern Shanxi, troops were sent deep into southern Hebei.
This led to the Japanese army in North China focusing most of its energy in the central and southern Hebei areas, which undoubtedly gave the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region a good opportunity to develop towards central Hebei.
At the same time, due to the failure of the Japanese army's previous anti-mopping-up operation, North China was short of troops, and a large number of armed forces began to become active in the central Hebei area.
After the failure of the nine-way siege in southeastern Shanxi, the commander of the North China Front Army, Sugiyama Gen, discovered that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops began to appear in central Hebei and northern Shanxi and began to ambush the Locust Army. Moreover, according to reports from the troops below, there were actually Type 41 mountain cannons of the Locust Army, and the number was not small.
According to statistics from various places, at least twenty artillery pieces were discovered.
Now Sugiyama Gen began to take it seriously. Not to mention where the Eighth Route Army got so many artillery pieces, if this area was left alone, would it become the second southeastern Shanxi?
He had already been reprimanded by the headquarters in Southeastern Shanxi. If it happened again in other places, would he have to go to the reserve like that guy in Terauchi?
What’s the matter? Now before going to the reserve, we have to come to the North China Front Army to serve first, right?
So, after more than two months of replenishment and rest, there were enough troops to consolidate the occupied areas.
Sugiyama Gen began to mobilize the 26th Division, the 109th Division, the 110th Division, the 2nd and 4th Independent Mixed Brigades, totaling more than 50,000 people, to prepare for the autumn mop-up operation in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.
At the same time, the 5th and 14th Divisions, which were resting, were arranged to consolidate the southern Hebei area. At this time, the new recruits of the 5th Division had just arrived, and the 14th Division was still in a semi-disabled state. There was no way but to let them maintain stability in the southern Hebei area first.
The rebuilt 108th Division was sent to Yangquan to replace the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade in guarding the Zhengtai Line.
The purpose was to trap the 389th Division in the southeastern Shanxi region and prevent it from causing trouble during the locust army's raid.
