The only thing that pleased Lu Chengzhou was that the anti-Japanese national united front was formed.
I saw the Haigu Pioneers, Student Federation, Female Alumni Association, and various students warmly celebrating the end of the civil war and the Anti-Japanese National United Front
However, judging from the attitude of the military commander, Lu Chengzhou clearly realized that the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was only superficial.
Even if the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate, the Communist Party is still the biggest enemy of the party-state.
I have to say, this is very sad.
Lu Chengzhou was unable to change these things, he could only do his own thing well.
The intelligence collected by the British Concession will be forwarded to Kawasaki Hiroshi after Lu Chengzhou passes the screening.
As for Japanese intelligence, Lu Chengzhou will report it to the military commander and the underground party in a timely manner.
"Mr. Li, have all the people at No. 3 along No. 26 Road moved away recently?" Lu Chengzhou asked suddenly when he saw Li Xiangxue.
In the end, he did not change the patrol leader of Route 26. Sometimes, being too deliberate would make people suspicious.
"Yes, the Party Central Committee convened a meeting of representatives of the White District Party in Yan'an to discuss major anti-Japanese issues. Several comrades from the Haigu Municipal Party Committee have already rushed to Yan'an. The new municipal party committee will have a new location." Li Xiangxue said slowly.
.
Originally, he thought about it for two days before talking to Lu Chengzhou.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengzhou had already noticed this.
Obviously, the safety of the municipal party committee is always on Lu Chengzhou's mind.
"That's good." Lu Chengzhou was stunned and didn't ask any more questions.
There must be a reason why the municipal party committee did not hold office at the original location.
There must be a reason for moving out of your own jurisdiction.
"During the time when the Municipal Party Committee was on Road 26, you secretly protected the safety of the Municipal Party Committee. Your superiors are very satisfied with your performance." Li Xiangxue said with a smile.
"So, my mission has come to an end?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"You have successfully completed your mission." Li Xiangxue said.
He did not explain why the new municipal party committee was not located in Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction.
Fortunately, Lu Chengzhou didn't ask.
After all, this involves another sensitive issue, Lu Chengzhou's loyalty to the party.
Since Lu Chengzhou joined the party, Li Xiangxue has never doubted Lu Chengzhou's loyalty.
However, the new comrades were unwilling to put the agency under Lu Chengzhou's jurisdiction, and he had no choice.
In fact, even if Lu Chengzhou asked, Li Xiangxue would not tell him.
"The Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated and the anti-Japanese national united front was formed, but I think the military commander is still deeply wary of our party." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
"No matter what the idea of military reunification is, we must promote the formation of the anti-Japanese national united front. The Kuomintang has never dared to resist Japan, and we must pull them onto the road of resisting Japan. I believe that many people will slowly change." Li Xiangxue said slowly.
said.
"Perhaps, when the Japanese show their ferocious face, the Chinese people will wake up." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
On July 7, 1937, the Japanese imperialist invasion force, Qingshui Jielang's squadron, launched an attack on the Chinese army at the Marco Polo Bridge in the southwest of Peiping at about 7 p.m., causing the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.
From then on, the heroic anti-Japanese national liberation war of the Chinese people began.
On July 8, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a message to the whole country, calling on "comatriots across the country, the government and the army, to unite and build a solid Great Wall of the national united front to resist Japanese aggression."
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Lu Chengzhou would stay at the North China Garrison Army Staff Headquarters in Haiguang Temple at night.
Nominally, he was reporting information about the British Concession to Kawasaki Hiroshi and accepting new tasks.
In fact, he was more interested in spying on Japanese intelligence.
Lu Chengzhou has served the Japanese secret service for more than three years, and his "loyalty" has won the praise of Hiroshi Kawasaki.
In the assassination of Amiichiro Tashiro by Takawa Sakai, Lu Chengzhou performed outstandingly and won praises from Chief of Staff Hashimoto Gun and Commander Amiichiro Tashiro many times.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Lu Chengzhou went to Haiguang Temple as soon as possible, which was also a sign of his devotion to the imperial army.
Lu Chengzhou was at Haiguang Temple. He didn't speak Chinese and spoke standard Japanese, making people forget that he was already Chinese.
"Teacher Kawasaki, I hope to join the Imperial Japanese Army and defeat the Chinese army on the battlefield." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly in Japanese.
"Your mission is still in the British Concession, and you must always pay attention to the attitude of the British." Kawasaki Hiro was very satisfied with Lu Chengzhou's attitude in seeking war.
However, the current situation is favorable to the Japanese army. Lu Chengzhou is an intelligence officer, and the Japanese army needs him to do more work in this area.
"Yes." Lu Chengzhou said disappointedly.
"Don't worry, if you want to work with the Chinese army, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Kawasaki Hiroshi patted Lu Chengzhou on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Commander Tashiro Anhui's illness, do you want me to ask a Chinese medicine doctor to take a look at it? Sometimes Chinese medicine is more miraculous than Western medicine." Lu Chengzhou asked again.
"No need, the commander has a heart problem, and Chinese medicine can't do anything about it." Kawasaki Hiroshi shook his head.
In the early morning, Lu Chengzhou left Haiguang Temple on his bicycle.
However, after he returned to the British Concession, he did not go to Gordon Hall first, but met with Liu Youjun.
Fighting has begun in Peiping, and the national army urgently needs the latest information on the troops stationed in North China.
"Tashiro Anichiro is ill in bed and is no longer able to work normally. The military affairs of the North China garrison are temporarily handled by Chief of Staff Hashimoto Gunun." Lu Chengzhou said.
Anichiro Tashiro had always suffered from heart disease, and his condition became worse after arriving in Haigu.
During this period, it was impossible to work normally, which invisibly helped the Chinese army.
"What is the response plan of the North China garrison to the Marco Polo Bridge incident?" Liu Youjun asked.
Although Zheng Wenyou's military intelligence team has been monitoring the movements of the Japanese army.
However, monitoring from the outside is subject to great restrictions.
If the Japanese troops mobilize quietly, the military intelligence team may not be able to detect it.
Even if it is discovered, it is impossible to know what troops the Japanese army mobilized and the specific number.
"The Hashimoto Group ordered all troops stationed in Haigu to be ready for dispatch at three o'clock in the morning. At the same time, the brigade commander who was reviewing the troops in Qinhuangdao was ordered to return to Peiping immediately. At the same time, the First Regiment of Haiguang Temple Barracks
The 2nd Battalion, the 1st Tank Squadron, the 2nd Artillery Battalion, and 1 engineer squad set out from Haigu at noon today, headed for Fengtai, and returned to the river for command." Lu Chengzhou said.
"So, less than half of the Japanese troops in Haiguang Temple Barracks will be transferred?" Liu Youjun frowned.
"Yes, the Japanese army in Haigu is currently empty of troops." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
The Japanese army has been planning for a long time. Perhaps this is the trigger for a total war between China and Japan.
However, some people still believe that the Marco Polo Bridge incident was just a local friction and was controllable.
"What do you want to say?" Liu Youjun asked.
"Take the opportunity to destroy the Japanese army in Haigu! At the Haiguang Temple Barracks, only the 79th Regiment of the 20th Division is left. Although there are more than 30 aircraft and an infantry squadron at the Dongjuzi Airport, as long as the planning is proper, it can be done
Take it. As for the General Administration of Railways and the East Station, there is only a small group of Japanese troops." Lu Chengzhou introduced.
Since 1937, Lu Chengzhou has been particularly sensitive to the deployment of Japanese troops.
This was also his original intention to break into the Japanese secret service.
"Our mission is to collect intelligence and understand the attitudes of both parties towards the incident." Liu Youjun shook his head.
Lu Chengzhou's idea is too naive, and rashly escalating the situation may really trigger a Sino-Japanese war.
The Kuomintang only collected intelligence and paid attention to the development of the situation, but the Communist Party took active actions.
On July 9, Haigu's "Ta Kung Pao" and "Yi Shi Bao" reported with eye-catching headlines the news that the Japanese invading army launched the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.
At this point, all walks of life in Haigu took action to support the Chinese army in defending its territory and resisting the war.
The Haigu Student Federation established the "Marco Bridge Anti-Japanese War Support Association" to carry out fund-raising activities and mobilized students to rush to the streets to publicize the anti-Japanese war.
At the same time, representatives were sent to carry condolences to the forward positions of the 29th Army in Fengtai and Wanping to express condolences to the anti-Japanese warriors.
On July 11, students from Nankai University published a "Letter to the People from All walks of Life for the Marco Polo Bridge Incident", proposing the slogan "Support the 29th Army in the Anti-Japanese War."
However, on July 12, the new Japanese commander of the North China Garrison, Xiang Yue Qingji, arrived in Haigu.
At the same time, the Kwantung Army entered Haigu.
The Japanese army in Haigu was replenished, and the Chinese army lost its best opportunity.
After Lu Chengzhou reported to Liu Youjun in time, the latter did not care. The current war had not spread to Haigu. The national army also believed that this was a friction incident.
"Recently, various anti-Japanese groups led by the Communist Party have poured into the British Concession. While paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army, we must also pay attention to their movements." Liu Youjun reminded.
"Yes. Can this information also be shared with the Japanese?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
"Of course." Liu Youjun nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Chengzhou thought that he was a qualified military commander.
The Communist Party will always be the enemy of the party-state. Even if the Japanese launch a war, this will not change.
If the Communist Party could be eliminated with the help of the Japanese, Liu Youjun would never object.
On July 14, the National Salvation Federation from all walks of life in Haigu was established at the Lili Shunli Hotel in the British Concession.
Although the Haigu National Salvation Federation of All walks of life is led by the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, it is a subordinate organization of the North China National Salvation Federation of all walks of life.
However, as Liu Youjun said, Lu Chengzhou must report the matter to Kawasaki Hiroshi as soon as possible.
The Haigu National Salvation Association from all walks of life is an open group. Even if Lu Chengzhou doesn't report it, Kawasaki Hong will soon know about it.
"Lu Jun, this National Salvation Association of all walks of life in Haigu will definitely cause trouble for the Empire of Japan. Do you have any way to deal with it?" Kawasaki Hiro asked after receiving Lu Chengzhou's report.
"Their leader lives in the Lishun Hotel. As long as we arrange a few people, we can kill them all." Lu Chengzhou made a head-cutting gesture.
"The British will not allow us to move freely in the concession." Kawasaki Hiroshi shook his head.
The British government supports the Chinese government, and therefore tolerates various anti-Japanese groups to survive in the British Concession.
"What do the British think? The Imperial Japanese Army is invincible and can occupy the British Concession with just one order. I have been looking forward to that day coming." Lu Chengzhou said with a longing face.
"What we have to deal with now is the Chinese government, especially the anti-Japanese groups led by the Communist Party. We must find ways to eliminate them." Kawasaki Hiroshi said firmly.
"Teacher Kawasaki, if the imperial army captures Haigu, can I seek a position in the new government?" Lu Chengzhou suddenly asked.
