In order to achieve the goal of political offensive as the main and military offensive as the auxiliary, the Japanese army in North China attached more and more importance to the spy work, especially the propaganda and comfort teams that followed the army. They carefully trained personnel and vigorously strengthened their strength. In the Japanese army, not only each regiment has propaganda and comfort organizations, but each squadron has one to several propaganda and comfort teams, ranging from seven to eight to more than a dozen people in each class. One third of them are Japanese, one third are Koreans or so-called Manchus, and the other third are local Chinese. Sasaki trained these one third of the Chinese in the early stage.

These Chinese are generally small local intellectuals and some people who were unsuccessful before. They are familiar with the local situation and have a certain connection base among the local people. These people appear in a kind face, which is deceptive and often causes greater harm.

There is a large buffer zone between Shuizhi and Sangyu Town, and the Japanese and puppet propaganda teams continue to erode Sangyu Town. After their careful selection, they really found some traitors in the local area to serve them. The so-called maintenance meetings and rural organizations of the Japanese and puppet were gradually established. The pressure of the Ninth Detachment increased dramatically, and Liang Xixian, who was responsible for this area, became more and more troublesome day by day.

The railway destruction team that Pan Kewei mentioned finally came to northern Henan and had already joined the big man. In order to conceal his identity and combat intentions, the army claimed to be a supplementary regiment, but in fact it had only one squadron. They also implemented a three-three system organization according to the composition of the regular army, but because of the special task, only seven or eight people were needed to perform the task. Therefore, the number of this squadron was much smaller than that of the regular army, only about seven or eight people.

The railway destruction team usually wears standard military uniforms of the National Army. Many of the team members are original railway workers, and some are explosion experts trained by the Military Commission. Because the targets of combat are railways and bridges, their main weapons are explosive mines, etc., and they carry light weapons such as submachine guns. Since they are new to the city and are not familiar with the situation in the local area at all, it is a helpless move to require the Ninth Detachment to support them.

After the railway sabotage team arrived in northern Henan, it immediately launched a battle and greatly shocked the Japanese and puppet troops.

After the railway sabotage team arrived in northern Henan, they received an important information, that is, the pseudo-Henan Governor Chen Daofan was about to inspect Wan'an. With the help of the big eighth squadron and the underground personnel of the Military Control Commission, the sabotage team sent an explosion team to sneak into the farmhouse south of Wan'an Railway Station.

The explosion team carried iron-shelled mines made in the United States. This mine was made of TNT explosives and used electrical fires. The explosion was extremely powerful. The members of the railway destruction team took advantage of the night to dig up the roadbed and bury the mines, and connected them with long wires to the mines. The team members who carried out the detonation hid in the distance and waited for the arrival of the train to detonate the mines.

When the train Chen Daofan drove, the blasting team pressed the fire device hard, and there was a loud "boom" sound, and thick smoke rose at the scene, and the train Chen Daofan was riding was blown out and derailed.

The train was bombed, but Chen Daofan was only slightly injured and did not die. This was mainly because the train was at a low speed at this time and the blasting location was on a flat ground. Therefore, even if the car strips derailed, it would be difficult to cause much damage to the passengers.

This shocking explosion declared that railway traffic in northern Henan began to be unsafe, especially the explosion site was so close to Wan'an Railway Station that it terrified the Japanese and puppets. When the Japanese and puppets passed various channels, this was done by the railway destruction team, they immediately offered a public reward and announced that they would immediately reward the ocean with 500 yuan by catching a member of the destruction team.

In order to intimidate the people and not help the anti-Japanese forces, Japanese also burned and killed several families at the explosion site. After doing evil, they also posted a notice claiming that these families were anti-Japanese elements and have been punished by the Imperial Army of Japan for undermining China-Japan friendship.

The atrocities of the Japanese and puppets also reminded the railway destruction team that in the future, it is best to choose sparsely populated places to reduce the harm to innocent people.

The first phase of the Japanese public security reform was underway, and there were occasional sporadic battles during this period. The scale of these battles was generally very small, basically because of the rural regime in the buffer zone between the two sides. In addition, the New Fifth Army and the Eighth Route Army attracted the main attention of the Japanese and puppets. Therefore, the Ninth Detachment in the past few months was relatively safe, and the reorganization and training of the troops were carried out in an orderly manner, and everything was moving towards the direction designed by Li Qinglin.

In early May, the new commander sent by the First War Zone finally arrived. He brought two additional squadrons and a telecommunications squads to the War Zone, as well as some ammunition and supplies, including ammunition and funds allocated to the militia in the War Zone.

Because Chen Zhendong was intercepted by Japanese and puppets on the road before, the General Staff of the War Zone did not inform the Ninth Detachment in advance to keep it confidential. Because the operation was concealed and sudden, the new commander and his team were successfully arrived in northern Henan. The Ninth Detachment only received the news from their vanguards the day before they arrived. Li Qinglin then led some troops to welcome the new commander at the border of the defense zone, that is, a mountain pass thirty miles west of Motianling.

The mountains in May are bright and green all over the mountains. The streams in the mountains are flowing happily. Some unknown wild flowers bloom in the mountains and the fields. The birds on the branches are singing freely. There are butterflies dancing among the flowers and plants. They are also chasing the beauty of spring.

Because they arrived earlier, the cavalry service personnel had been sent out to pick up the large army, and the officers stayed here to wait with peace of mind. The guards set up marching stools and folding tables, and placed tea cups and plates of snacks. The officers sat around smoking, drinking tea, and chatting to pass the long waiting time.

The warm sunshine shines on the body, and the spring breeze blows softly. In the bright spring, everything seems so peaceful and comfortable. But everyone is a little absent-minded, because the arrival of the new commander means that a new power center is about to be established, and the environment everyone is in will change in the future. So far, everyone knows who the new commander is and what new decisions he will bring about in the war zone, so everyone has no idea.

Among these people, Liang Xixian is the one who is most unsure about it.

Ironically, the suggestion of adding a new commander was made by him to the war zone, but the war zone did not notify the specific arrangements in advance, which was abnormal, and Liang Xixian had to worry.

Liang Xixian knew that Li Qinglin and Pan Kewei's channel. In order to find out the news, he moved his horse to Li Qinglin and prepared to spy on what news Li Qinglin got.
