What does "the fifth column" mean?

China's fifth column is a secret service organization.

After the "September 18th Incident", Japanese imperialism invaded the northeast of China, and then directed its aggression at North China. In order to cooperate with the military aggression, the Japanese army set up secret service agencies in all parts of North China, and for a time, Japanese secret service personnel were all over the urban and rural areas of North China.

They instigated a group of frustrated military and political dignitaries and other third-rate people to form a "fifth column", openly supported Japan's invasion of China, and shouted for Japanese aggression.

The Japanese troops who agreed to be stationed in Dongjiaominxiang immediately dispatched a demonstration at this time, and the Japanese plane also conducted a "demonstration flight"; At that time, the potential reactionary forces in all parts of North China will jointly attack and seize the party, government and military organs in China.
