Zhou Enlai had heard of the Eighteen Arhats Plan in Guangzhou. Later, he talked with Blade Feng when he was in Shanghai. When Blade Feng mentioned that Zhuang Jihua sent two intelligence officers to Japan, he didn't agree, but he didn't expect that these two intelligence officers would play such a big role now.

Zhou Enlai briefly introduced the origin of the Eighteen Arhats to Li Knong, and finally sighed and felt even more regretful of Zhuang Jihua's original choice.

"Zhuang Wenge is such a rare talent. He saw that there would be a war between China and Japan, so he unswervingly made arrangements to Japan. If he had not left for a few years, the situation in the National Government today would be much better."

Li Knong was also alert to the fact that on the underground front, there was an overwhelming advantage over the Kuomintang. The Kuomintang had almost no secrets to it, but what about Japan? It was not that they had no ability, but that they lost in strategic vision.

"Comrade K Nong, I think this information is 90% sure, but it is of great importance. Let the blade continue to verify it. Let us send an alarm to the central government first, Jizhong." Zhou En hesitated for a moment. He knew in his heart that if the Japanese really used four divisions to sweep Hezhong, the power of Hezhong would be impossible to stop, and at most it could reduce some losses: "Be prepared for the loss of Hezhong. In addition, we should pay attention to guidance in propaganda and public opinion, and emphasize the combat methods of our army."

Li Knong was a little surprised. The propaganda matter was not his own. How could Zhou Enlai talk about this to him? Obviously, Zhou Enlai also realized this and felt that he was a little out of control. He smiled: "It seems that we are going to practice with Zhuang Zhuang. Intelligence work should be considered in the long run, focusing on the layout of candidates. Before the Northern Expedition, it was deployed in Shanghai, Wuhan, Changsha, and Peking. It was deployed in Japan more than ten years ago, but in the end it all achieved miraculous results. We must do the same."

"Yes, I understand." Li Knong nodded heavily, indicating that he understood what he meant.

Zhuang Jihua left Wuhan the next day after the meeting. Dai Li found him that night and tactfully expressed his hope that the support of the Ligao could be transferred to the Military Commission. Osawa Magoro Zhuang Jihua actually transferred to the Central Commission for Discipline. This support of the Ligao was agreed to Dai Li during the Great Wall's War of Resistance. Now this promise can be fulfilled.

However, Zhuang Jihua had a condition to support the Gao Gao. The intelligence team did not have any contact with the Beiping Station. Only Dai Li and another person designated by Dai Li knew about it. Dai Li personally grasped the codebook for support the Gao Gao. The information was sent directly to Chiang Kai-shek. The contact with the Gao Gao support was temporarily responsible for the Fifth War Zone, but the organization was included in the Military Control Commission.

Dai Li accepted this condition without hesitation, and took the initiative to increase it. One way, the Military Command Headquarters arranged a dedicated radio station to contact the Ligao Support Intelligence Team. He immediately nominated Mao Renfeng, the Chief Secretary of the Military Command Headquarters, as the second insider. Dai Li knew in his heart that the enemy situation facing the Fifth War Zone is very serious now, and Zhuang Jihua could not hand over Ligao support now. If he wants to hand over, he has to wait until the war is over.

The candidate Zhuang Jihua proposed by Dai Li didn't say anything. He was a little surprised. Why wasn't Zheng Jiemin? Seeing Dai Li stammering and knew that there must be conflicts between them, he kindly advised him not to make too many enemies. Do not be arrogant in intelligence work. Whether it is internal or external, Dai Li still respects Zhuang Jihua very much and nods honestly.

The news that the squadron began to secretly mobilize the troops northward quickly. It was sent to Beiping, Nanjing. The Japanese army did not think it was an intelligence leak, but believed that the squadron was preparing to launch a counterattack in the First and Fifth War Zones. So they accelerated the pace of transporting troops to North China. By early October, the Japanese army in Shandong added two new divisions, and the Japanese army in North China also landed in Tianjin.

Zhuang Jihua returned to Xuzhou and soon went south to Bengbu for inspection, met with Li Pinxian, Liao Lei, Deng Xihou, Lu Han and others, and then told them about the adjustment of the combat mode of the southern line. Deng Xihou and Lu Han were going to retreat to Su County. The 21st Army and the 51st Army of the 11th Army were responsible for frontal defense, the 2nd Destroyer Detachment and the 3rd Bombing Brigade were responsible for providing air support, and the 11th Army added a division.

"In the second Jinpu Road battle, we will face greater pressure. The Japanese army will concentrate more troops. The simple flanks can no longer achieve their goal. Therefore, we must rely on several rivers to cause huge damage to the enemy at the beginning of the battle and lure the enemy further to achieve victory."

Zhuang Jihua did not disclose the information on the support of Li Pinxian and others, but only introduced the situation of the Japanese generals who had increased their troops to China by 20 divisions. With this introduction, all the generals here are fighting, so they naturally understand the truth.

However, Liao Lei still believed that he could not flank and demanded that the troops be increased to the southern line. Zhuang Jihua agreed and then asked Chiang Kai-shek for Li Yannian's Second Army, which was the German Armored Army, and was also well-equipped. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek transferred Chen Cheng's direct 18th Army to Yingshan and Luo Huang, and transferred the Sixth Army (the commander of the first phase of Huangpu Gan Lichu) to the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains. These troops were the backbone of the Central Army, and all equipped the German Armored Army bought this time. The two armies were placed here. In order to prevent the collapse of the fifth war zone, the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to rush towards Wuhan.

After lingering on the southern line for ten days, Zhuang Jihua returned to Xuzhou. Shortly after returning, Xuan Xiafu and He Shaoxin visited one after another, but Gong Xiuhua asked them to wait in the reception room for a full forty minutes before leading them into Zhuang Jihua's office.

"Cultural Revolution, your affairs are getting busier and busier now." Xuan Xiafu was a little angry and said sarcastically: "We came here and didn't disturb you."

The guard brought two cups of tea, and Zhuang Jihua sat opposite Xuan Xiafu: "You must have come here for business, Sword Soul, the Japanese army is about to attack, and the Japanese army in North China has added four divisions, not including the four in Shandong, and the Japanese army in Shanghai has also added three divisions. How long has it been? This battle is about to start, but we are not ready yet."

Although Zhuang Jihua concealed Gong Xiuhua, he looked at Gong Xiuhua with reproach. After the guards served tea, he left the door. Now there were only four of them left in the office.

"How is it? What is the result of your verification? The information the government informed you last time was true." Zhuang Jihua asked back.

Xuan Xiafu knew that Gong Xiuhua was Zhuang Jihua's confidant and did not hide anything from her. So he said bluntly: "I'm here to thank you this time," and then he stood up in He Shaoxin's surprised gaze to salute Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua also stood up and returned one, saying straightforwardly: "No thanks, no thanks, they are all Chinese troops, so it's time to help each other."

Xuan Xiafu was almost so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke. His actions were originally intended to embarrass Zhuang Jihua, but unexpectedly, Zhuang Jihua used his tired tricks to fool him, and made the scene so joking that he couldn't have an attack.

"Little thing, let you suffer a loss. How can you do to me?" Zhuang Jihua smiled in his heart, and his joking expression in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"We have an idea in the Cultural Revolution," Xuan Xiafu then talked about the focus today: "How about we cooperate in intelligence?"

Zhuang Jihua nodded slightly, but turned to ask He Shaoxin: "Section Chief He, Jianhun is here to propose, you are here to be responsible for the specific implementation."

He Shaoxin did not reject it, but he did not admit it. He didn't know whether his identity was noticed. He nodded gently: "My superior wants me to talk about it, so I will talk about it. For revolutionary work, someone must do it."

"Well, this is a bit sour." Zhuang Jihua's words made He Shaoxin's persistent mood shake, and his anger flashed across his face. Xuan Xiafu was unhappy: "Cultural Revolution, today we are here to discuss cooperation, not to accept your humiliation! If you don't want to, I will leave immediately."

Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly and pressed Xuan Xiafu to his seat, with a smile on his face: "Old classmate, you are still so impulsive. Even a person as steady as Wushan has not survived. It is a miracle that you can survive." He sighed and patted the dust on Xuan Xiafu's body: "You guys are really ignorant of the good people." Then he turned his head and asked He Shaoxin: "Well, how do you plan to cooperate?"

He Shaoxin just watched everything Zhuang Jihua did quietly. At this moment, he took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and handed it to Zhuang Jihua: "This is our cooperation plan, please check it out."

Zhuang Jihua took it and took a look. The content above was mainly regular information exchanges, emergency contact information for major matters, and proposed to establish a joint working group, cooperate to report work, etc.

"Forget it, the joint working group," Zhuang Jihua first rejected this article: "In principle, I agree with the rest. Everything else is fine. Our side is my intelligence director Wang Xiaoshan. He will arrive in a few days. Before he arrives, the palace secretary will be responsible. Are you there? "

Wang Xiaoshan was also active in Pingjin. In addition to setting up contact points, he also designed a backup plan, protection plan and retreat plan, and recruited several members of the Peking Anti-Traitor Group to prepare to bring them back for training.

He Shaoxin nodded: "Yes, I'm the contact person."

"Okay, if you two have a single line contact, if there are too many people, keeping confidentiality is a big problem." Zhuang Jihua said: "Secretary Gong, please report me directly on this matter in the future. You can go down and discuss other details."

The embroidered painting answered expressionlessly.

Seeing that the matter was done, Xuan Xiafu got up and said goodbye. However, Zhuang Jihua unexpectedly did not try to keep them, but just politely sent them to the door.

Looking at their departure backs, Zhuang Jihua pondered for a moment: "Wu Ziniu, transfer two people from the special forces, and when contacting them in the future, people will be sent to protect them."

Ziniu agreed, then hesitated and asked: "I'll go find Yunfei myself, can I?"

Zhuang Jihua turned his head and looked at him, shook his head gently: "No, let him send it here in person. I want to talk to him too."

"Yes!" Wu Ziniu turned around excitedly and left.

"Cultural Revolution, is this appropriate?" After Wu Ziniu left, Gong Xiuhua frowned slightly and asked uneasyly: "Has the Chairman warned you? If he discovered it in the future, what's the best?"

"It's okay, the principal is just worried that I'm doing it too blatantly. Just just sneak it and save some face for his family." Zhuang Jihua walked absent-mindedly towards his desk, and suddenly stopped and thought about it. He felt that he seemed to have ignored something, what was it? He slowly began to sort it out.

Gong Xiuhua did not disturb him. Based on her understanding, Zhuang Jihua was thinking about a problem. She stood quietly by her side, not daring to interfere with his thinking.

"Call Han Feng and Du Jianshi." Liangju Zhuang Jihua said slowly. Du Jianshi was the stationmaster of the Xuzhou Station of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Gong Xiuhua agreed and went to get the phone. Zhuang Jihua quickly added: "Send a telegram to Xiaoshan immediately and ask if the Japanese army in North China has any new actions?"
