How to fetch a word from file name using batch file

I am struggling to write a batch file to get a specific name from file name.

There are several xml files in a folder and all looks like the below

Plaintext1.xml
Plaintext2.xml
Plaintext3.xml
Encrypted_abcd_1_xml
Encrypted_samp_2.xml
Encrypted_xyz.xml
..

I want to get only files starts with Encrypted_*.xml and in the list of these files I want to get only word abcd, samp, xyz. i.e before symbol '' and after symbol ''.

Can you please provide some samples?

I have written upto this

@ECHO OFF
Z:
cd "C:\temp\"

for %%f in (Encrypted_*.xml) do (
Echo %%f
Echo x

)
:DONE

This should do it:

 @echo off
 setlocal

 cd /d "C:\temp"
 for /f "tokens=2 delims=_." %%a in ('dir Encrypted_*.xml /b ') do echo %%a
