Chapter 1146 Hey, take your shoes off!
Eastern Hebei.
Duan Wenxuan has been in a very tense state of mind these past two days, but he has to pretend to be bored out of his mind.
I don't know if Xie Quan knew something, but he gave special instructions, saying that Duan Wenxuan was an inspector sent by Commander Lin, and all departments should make things convenient for him.
Since Xie Quan had spoken, none of the puppet army officers were foolish enough to ignore him, and they all treated Duan Wenxuan with respect and courtesy.
Early in the morning, Duan Wenxuan got up and started boiling water. The command had originally planned to assign some orderly soldiers to serve him, but Duan Wenxuan told everyone that he would bring women back from time to time, and he always felt uncomfortable with the orderly soldiers around.
Upon hearing this, the puppet army officer in charge of logistics smiled knowingly, inwardly cursing that this young master was really playing hard to get!
The water boiled, and Duan Wenxuan brewed a large pot of tea. After letting it cool slightly, he gulped it down and rubbed his face vigorously, feeling much better.
He leisurely went out to eat breakfast. As a person of "status", he could not eat breakfast on the roadside. Instead, he went to a breakfast shop run by people from Tianjin every day.
This shop not only offers breakfast, but also stir-fried dishes and banquets for lunch and dinner, and there are also private rooms upstairs.
The innkeeper personally greeted Duan Wenxuan and escorted him to a private room upstairs. When serving him steamed buns, he placed a folded piece of paper on the table.
This is where Duan Wenxuan's radio station is located. This radio station only receives and does not transmit. All communication with the higher-ups is handled by Gu Wenxin. By isolating the receiver and transmitter, Duan's safety is guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Duan Wenxuan unfolded the paper and looked at its contents, then immediately became serious.
The private room was tastefully furnished, with a mahogany table against the wall, on which were placed items such as incense burners.
He went to the altar, opened the lid of the incense burner, and burned the paper.
After he leaves, the shopkeeper will personally clean the place up, leaving no trace.
After quickly finishing his breakfast, Duan Wenxuan went to the teahouse to listen to music.
Gu Wenxin got up early in the morning and dressed up, looking rather preoccupied.
During this period, her opinion of Duan Wenxuan changed drastically, and her attitude underwent a complete 180-degree turn.
This seemingly carefree young master is actually a great hero!
These days, she has obtained more intelligence through her than she did in the previous year!
Moreover, in the past, she often handled matters related to the military police garrison in a certain county, how the local government committee was persecuting the people, and how a certain landlord and tyrant had aroused public anger. She believed that cracking down on such a family would have a very good effect.
What now?
These are top-secret military intelligence reports that can determine the life or death of soldiers on the front lines!
This stark difference made it impossible for her not to feel a sense of admiration for Duan Wenxuan. Just last night, she even dreamt that Duan Wenxuan encountered danger while gathering intelligence, managing to break through an encirclement with only two pistols, but was accidentally wounded at the crucial moment...
So I felt restless as soon as I woke up in the morning.
As she was lost in thought in front of the mirror, she heard that roguish voice from downstairs, "Boss, is Xiaotangchun awake yet!"
Gu Wenxin got up to open the door, but after taking a few steps, she came back and sat down.
"Oh, Master Duan, you've arrived! You're here early today! What incredible luck we've had to have you here so kindly! Please come upstairs quickly, Xiao Tangchun has probably just finished washing and getting ready!"
"That's great! I'd love to see what this beauty looks like when she's dressed up. Oh, I can't come less often! I've come so many times, and she still won't let me get a chance to kiss her. If I don't come often enough, I might not even get to see her at all!"
Hearing Duan Wenxuan's strange voice from upstairs, Gu Wenxin muttered a curse under her breath and couldn't help but blush.
Duan Wenxuan came upstairs and banged on the door, "Xiao Tangchun! Open the door and let me see her!"
Gu Wenxin opened the door and turned her head away from him.
Duan Wenxuan glanced at it and clicked his tongue twice. "Your face looks like a monkey's butt. Why do you look so sickly? Are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Wenxin was furious and really wanted to hit him!
"Did you come here just to annoy me?" she said irritably.
Duan Wenxuan sat down at the table. "I'm here because I have something to do. Go play a piece for me to hear."
Gu Wenxin took down the pipa from the wall and played it gently.
Duan Wenxuan lowered his voice and said, "The Japanese plan is very vicious. They are pursuing without attacking, pressing from three directions, trying to drive all the comrades in central Hebei to the Shenxian and Raoyang areas. Remind the higher-ups as soon as possible that we must find a way to prevent the Japanese conspiracy from succeeding! It is now clear that Shirataki of the 110th Division is on the southern route, so the other direction should be the 41st Division, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade! We must find a way to break through ahead of schedule!"
"Have you all remembered them?"
Gu Wenxin nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I've remembered everything!"
After saying all this, Duan Wenxuan relaxed and felt inexplicably sleepy again.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. I'm going to take a nap."
"Hey!"
Duan Wenxuan turned around. "Is there anything else?"
"You came and left so quickly... Doesn't that raise suspicion?"
Duan Wenxuan thought about it and agreed. He sat down again and said, "Alright, then I'll listen to you play for a while longer."
Gu Wenxin was annoyed again, "Did I play that badly?"
Seeing that Duan Wenxuan ignored her, she said again, "Go back to bed if you're sleepy. I'll wake you up in half an hour."
Duan Wenxuan looked at her, then at the bed.
Gu Wenxin turned her head to the side, "We're comrades. You work so hard gathering intelligence, I didn't mean anything by it, please don't misunderstand..."
Duan Wenxuan let out a "whoosh" and rushed onto Gu Wenxin's bed.
Gu Wen was getting anxious. "Hey, take your shoes off!"

Fuping, Shijiazhai.
Previously, the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region was stationed in Shehuchuan in the west. Later, due to the Japanese invasion of western provinces, the border region's headquarters were moved to Shijiazhai on the eastern foothills of the Taihang Mountains.
Rows of cave dwellings have been newly built here, and after a period of development, the facilities have become quite complete.
The activities of the border region in the western provinces, Chahar, and northern and central Hebei were all managed by the border region authorities here.
In the mailroom, several radios were constantly sending and receiving telegrams.
A telegram from Yancheng was highlighted in red by the telegraph operator and urgently sent to the office of the commander of Shuang'er.
Inside the cave dwelling, several middle-aged men were discussing military matters. One of the men had a hole in the knee of his right trouser leg.
The leader of the group saw this and couldn't help but laugh, "Wenzao, you're practicing calligraphy on your knees again!"
The man smiled and said, "I've been too busy lately. Spreading out paper and grinding ink is too time-consuming. Sometimes when I'm riding a horse and feel like writing, I just use my finger to trace characters on my trousers."
At that moment, a telegram arrived.
The man in the lead frowned after reading it, then handed the telegram to the others.
"Look at this, everyone! This time, the Japanese are determined to wipe out the entire Hebei region!"
