While the Eighth Route Army pacified the underground traffic station, the investigation team that had been in the city for two days also received an order to contact the underground party.

In a very inconspicuous grocery store in the east of the city, the guy stood at the door as usual to drink, hoping to attract one or two guests from the abortion on the street.

There are hundreds of things on the shelves in the house, including porcelain, pottery, coarse cloth, scissors and hoes, etc., which are all necessary items for ordinary people’s homes, and they are dazzling.

The shopkeeper sat behind the counter, plucking the abacus, sometimes frowning and sometimes relaxing, and most of them were settled.

"Hello, Mr. Guest... We have everything in our shop, and we can guarantee that we can buy what you need. Please come in quickly!" Seeing someone walking towards the grocery store, the guy greeted him warmly.

He led the guests from the street to the door of the shop, and then shouted to it: "Shopkeeper, a customer is here..."

The middle-aged man who was dialing the abacus quickly stood up, his face filled with smiles and asked respectfully: "I don't know what you two want. As long as it is something you usually use, I have everything in my shop. I can guarantee that I can choose what I want!"

"Shopkeeper, I want to be a peddler. I don't know what you sell best here. I recommend it to me and I'll do it a little bit at that time!"

As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper glanced at the two of them more, and the smile on his face was obviously stronger than before.

If outsiders saw it, they would definitely think that the shopkeeper would be happy when they met a big customer today.

Actually, it is not the case.

In addition to buying things, this shop also has another hidden identity: the Eighth Route Army pacified the underground transportation station.

The reason I chose to open a grocery store is one to cover up the news, and the other is to collect information from the crowds that come and go for my own use.

Those who come to the grocery store to buy things are either ordinary people or peddlers who go from street to village to sell things. They run outside the county town every day, and they know very well whether there is anything big happening outside the city?

Taking these peddlers as a breakthrough point, people in the transportation station can control all the major events that have happened in the country without leaving their homes.

Since it is a transportation station, you must keep in touch with your superiors and intelligence officers at any time. Being a peddler is the contact code between the transportation station and your own people.

But the shopkeeper did not believe the other party because of these words.

They lurked in the heart of the enemy, and any accident could bring disaster to themselves and their comrades. Before he was absolutely sure, he would definitely not recognize the young man in front of him, let alone admit that this was an underground transportation station of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the young man who was talking just now, he asked casually: "Why do you want to be a peddler at a young age? How much money can you make when you do this?"

"And there are chaos outside. If you encounter war when selling goods, you will not only lose all the goods, but you may even lose your life!"

"Although I really want to start this business with you and make a lot of money, but for the sake of our Chinese, I still want to advise you... It is not that easy to be a peddler!"

The young man replied helplessly: "I don't want to be a peddler, but isn't this going to survive? If I don't find anything to do, my mother will almost starve to death!"

"You can tell me directly what the goods should be sold the fastest. I don't have much money in my hand. I will give me three of them first, but the price must be appropriate, otherwise I won't make any money!"

After a conversation and confirmation, the shopkeeper finally eliminated the danger and confirmed that the two people on the other side were coming to find their liaison officer. The smile on their faces became stronger, as if the business was about to be negotiated. He continued: "Even if only three pieces of each item are taken, it is a big business for me!"

"We will go directly to the back to discuss in detail, and introduce to you what other merchandisers usually sell, and then make a list for you..."

As soon as I entered the back hall, the smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared: "Hello comrade, you should be the liaison officer sent by the National Salvation Army! I am the person in charge of Pingding Transportation Station, my surname is Zhang, you can just call me Boss Zhang!"

"Hello Boss Zhang, I am Wang Tieshan, the deputy company commander of the National Reconnaissance Company. For safety reasons, just call me Xiao Wang directly." Wang Tieshan, who had been communicating with him, also returned to his serious expression and looked at the other party and introduced himself.

"Our mission to enter the city this time is to find out why the Japanese and puppet troops suddenly strengthened the blockade line. They sent heavy troops to surround us in addition to the food outlet, is there any conspiracy we don't know about?"

"Because we are not familiar with the situation in the city, we have been afraid to act for two days when we entered the city. We just roughly understand the locations of the Japanese garrison command and the puppet army command. For the next task, please ask Boss Zhang to help us with more."

"By the way, this is a small yellow croaker that my superior asked me to bring you. It is said that it is an increase in activity funds for you to further strengthen your intelligence collection capabilities against the Japanese and puppet troops!"

Zheng Yunshan mentioned the activity funds in his order to the transportation station, so he took it down without any surprise when facing the little yellow croaker taken out by Wang Tieshan.

Then I asked: "I don't know which aspects of information you want to investigate from the city. Only after you know your approximate targets of action can I find a way to support you."

Wang Tieshan did not hide his ideas and answered openly: "First find a way to figure out the latest trends of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city. If you have the chance, go to the Japanese garrison command center to see if you can steal some confidential information!"

Webmaster Zhang frowned immediately: "There is still a way to complete the first task, and I can help you, but the second task is too difficult to complete."

"The Japanese garrison command is the most vigilant place in the city. In order to prevent attacks, the entire command center occupied an independent yard. There were the same yards on both sides before, but they were all cleaned up by the Japanese on the grounds of safety, resulting in a clear view of the surrounding area and there were no obstacles to hide. In addition, there were Japanese soldiers surrounding the command center for uninterrupted patrols, so we almost had no chance to get close to the command center."

"The guards in the command center are also very strict, and the Japanese who have been stationed in an infantry squad have been stationed all year round."

"In addition to the civil service, staff, messenger, logistics soldier, commander of the command center, the total force should exceed one hundred people!"

"But I think you can settle for the second best, and go to the puppet army command first."

"Compared with the heavily guarded Japanese command, the second Japanese command center is not as vigilant as it is. Although there is also a company of guards stationed, they do not have a separate yard."

"The command center occupies a yard, and the guard company is divided into three, and two platoons each occupy two yards next to the command center, separating the command center from the surrounding houses, and protecting the safety of the command center."

"There is a remaining guard platoon stationed at the command center to directly protect the safety of the command center."

"As long as you pass through the yard occupied by the guards safely and enter the Second Japanese Command, you will definitely be able to control their brigade commander and know some secrets from him."

Wang Tieshan did not give up the idea of ​​exploring the Japanese garrison command because of Stationmaster Zhang's reminder.

In his eyes, no matter how much the Japanese trust the puppet army, they would not tell them all the secrets. Only by entering the Japanese command center can the reconnaissance team find the information the regiment commander wanted.

I asked quickly: "Boss Zhang, I wonder if you can get me the defense maps of the Japanese Army Command and the puppet army command. When I go back, I will study it carefully with you before determining the target of the operation!"

After picking the persimmons, Wang Tieshan decided to attack the puppet army command first. If he could ask about the Japanese army's next moves from them, the reconnaissance team immediately left the city and terminated the mission.

If you can't ask, the reconnaissance team can only continue to work hard and find a way from the Japanese garrison command.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the whole peace became quiet.

There was no one in the streets and alleys. In Pingding City, shrouded in the night, there were only Japanese command centers, puppet army command centers, arsenals... Several very important places were still on lights.

The puppet army command center was in the south of the city, and a light was on at the entrance of the command department, illuminating the surroundings.

The guard stood at the door, his rifle on his back, staring aimlessly around.

There were also sandbags at the door surrounded two circular positions, each with a Czech-made one.

The machine gunner and the deputy shooter all slept behind the sandbag, and no one was guarding the machine gun.

In the yard, the first thing I saw was a row of barracks. Each barracks had a squad of soldiers. They were all dark everywhere, and snoring kept coming from the room.

After passing through the front yard and entering the back yard, several figures finally appeared inside, and they were not as dark as the front yard. There was a light lit up in the room directly in front of them, illuminating the house. Three people gathered around a table and discussing something...

The puppet troops in the two yards next to them were even more relaxed. Except for the guard post, everyone else fell asleep.

Wang Tieshan led the reconnaissance team to climb over the wall and enter a guard platoon base of the puppet army.

The team members were holding submachine guns, box cannons, and daggers, and were very careful to enter one of the barracks.

This is a barracks of ordinary soldiers. All ten Japanese devils slept on the bed, with rifles and bullets placed in the corner of their heels.

Wang Tieshan waved his hand and the three team members walked towards weapons and ammunition.

Then he was very careful to deliver weapons and ammunition to the outside of the room.

During this process, Wang Tieshan had touched the squad leader at some point.

He slept at the innermost part of the Datongpu, and one person occupied the position of two people, which was also a benefit for him as the squad leader. Wang Tieshan stared at him at the first glance when he entered the door.

All the weapons and ammunition were emptied. After confirming that the puppet army had no weapons, Wang Tieshan raised the box cannon and pointed it at the eyebrows of the puppet army squad leader, and then began to wake him up.

"Get up right away, why are you sleeping? You have been captured!"

The puppet army squad leader looked sleepy and hadn't figured out what was going on. He just opened his eyes and was about to curse. Wang Tieshan's box cannon had been inserted into the squad leader's mouth that had just opened, and continued to threaten in his ear: "Don't move or shout, otherwise my bullet will definitely open your head..."

The squad leader didn't dare to joke about his life, and he showed a look of fear on his face and kept nodding.

Wang Tieshan was very satisfied and continued to threaten: "As long as you are obedient, I promise not to hurt you..."

"First sit up from the bed, then tie the two back to back together, block your mouth, and when dawn, someone will come to you for a few days..."
