My years of espionage

Seeing that Miyazaki Kentaro still looked disapproving, his words and expressions were full of disdain for the Red Party's New Fourth Army, Imamura Hyoutarou didn't say anything, but directly opened the filing cabinet, pulled out a pile of documents and threw them to him .

Cheng Qianfan took the document with both hands and opened it to read.

This is a stack of military intelligence records about the battle between the Imperial Locust Army and the New Fourth Army.

In June, the New Fourth Army attacked Xushuguan Station, an important imperial stronghold on the railway line, at night, annihilating more than fifty people under Imperial Guard Captain Yamamoto and a squadron of appeasement troops. At the same time, the New Fourth Army also blew up an iron bridge. The explosion broke the rails, forcing transportation on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to be interrupted for three days.

In July, the New Fourth Army once again crossed the railway line and entered Qingpu, Shanghai. They fought four times within a week with the Qingpu security team, posing a great threat to the railway lines along Qingpu.

The New Fourth Army's entry into Qingpu was also a landmark event, which meant that the New Fourth Army had completely entered the western suburbs of Shanghai. This had a great impact on the empire's rule over Shanghai, especially the popular sentiment among the Chinese people in Shanghai. The locust army in Shanghai is under great threat.

The empire immediately mobilized troops from various places and dispatched tanks and armored vehicles to sweep Qingpu Dongxiang.

In August, a fierce battle broke out between the Empire and the New Fourth Army near Guanyin Hall. The resistance of the New Fourth Army was very tenacious, and the military goal of the Locust Army to sweep away Guanyin Hall was thwarted.

According to imperial military statistics, the New Fourth Army has contained one-sixth of the Locust Army's strength in the occupied areas of central China.

In particular, half of the approximately 26 garrison troops deployed by the empire in central China often fight against the New Fourth Army. In addition, nearly [-] "servant armies" of various types who defected to the empire are almost all used to deal with the New Fourth Army.

According to statistics, in more than a year, the Locust Army has fought more than a thousand battles with the New Fourth Army, causing heavy losses.

……

"Nani!" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, with an incredulous expression in his eyes, "How can these poorly equipped peasant armies cause so much trouble to the locust army?"

"Although the Red Party's New Fourth Army has crude weapons and fewer numbers than the surrounding Kuomintang troops, they are determined to fight." Hyoutaro Imamura said with a serious expression, "The most important thing is that they will take the initiative to attack the Locust Army. , instead of always fighting passively, this kind of military force must definitely be in the first strike order, do you understand?"

"Hai!" Cheng Qianfan nodded respectfully and said.

He understood what Hyoutaro Imamura meant. For those Chinese troops who fled around the locust army when they encountered it, it was just scabies and nothing to worry about. However, for those like the Red Party New Fourth Army who not only did not avoid it, but even The Chinese army that takes the initiative to attack the locust army must focus its attacks to destroy the Chinese army's courage to fight.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan showed surprise. He actually saw a statistics on the results of the New Fourth Army's internal battles in this document.

This is a statistics showing the combat performance of the New Fourth Army from May 27 to the present.

Divided into captured results, blasting results, prisoners, and casualties between enemy and friend.

The seizure results are divided into: weapons and ammunition, military supplies and others.

The weapons and ammunition are divided into 3021 long guns, 164 short guns, 83 machine guns, 26 bayonets, 1 mortar, 1 small steel cannon, 6 grenades, 29 bombs, 1 poison gas bomb, and rifle grenades 2, 2 smoke bombs, 199 grenades, 84041 rounds of ammunition, 7 boxes, 31 artillery shells, 16 boxes, etc.

The blasting results are also subdivided into combat equipment, transportation equipment, roads, electrical materials, etc.

These included destroying 1 enemy aircraft, 3 motorboats, and 3 ships.

91 Japanese officers and soldiers and 1449 puppet officers and soldiers were captured.

The enemy suffered 13317 casualties and ours suffered 3953 casualties.

"This is impossible!" Cheng Qianfan was a little excited as he held the statistics sheet.

"Bag duck!" Imamura Hyōtaro scolded Miyazaki Kentaro, telling him to calm down, "Kentaro, you are too noisy!"

"Teacher, this report says that nearly a hundred Locust officers and soldiers were captured by the New Fourth Army!" Cheng Qianfan said emotionally, "They are spreading rumors. This is a slander and humiliation for the loyal and fearless Locust Army warriors."

"The Chinese army always likes to exaggerate its war results, so don't pay attention to it." Imamura Hyoutaro glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro and said calmly.

"Hai." Cheng Qianfan looked relieved when he heard Hyoutaro Imamura say this.

He was sneering in his heart.

On the one hand, Hyotarō Imamura was angry because of his disdain for the New Fourth Army, and reprimanded him to face up to the threats that the New Fourth Army might bring. On the other hand, he 'naturally' chose to accuse the New Fourth Army of deliberately exaggerating and spreading rumours. .

The reason is very straightforward. The Japanese army has always been unwilling to admit that Japanese officers and soldiers were captured by the Chinese army. In the Japanese army's battle report, the Japanese officers and soldiers were only brave warriors who fought bravely to make His Majesty the Emperor a hero, and there were absolutely no prisoners. There will be no so-called 'deserters'.

……

"Chu Mingyu is still seeking the Executive Yuan?" Hyoutaro Imamura asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Chu Mingyu's biggest wish is to take charge of the Executive Yuan."

As he said this, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, do you think Chu Mingyu has great hope?"

"Tell me your opinion first." Hyōtaro Imamura asked rhetorically without answering.

Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "Teacher, I still tend to think that Chu Mingyu has hope."

He paused and continued, "Chu Mingyu is still very capable. The most important thing is that he is deeply trusted by Wang Quanhai and his wife..."

"At the appropriate time, you can persuade Chu Mingyu to seek the position of deputy dean." Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head and said.

"Vice dean..." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Which dean is it, Chen Nanhai or Zhou Liang..."

He frowned slightly and looked at Imamura Hyōtaro, but when he saw Imamura Hyōtaro smiling, his heart moved, "What the teacher means is that Wang Qianhai will not delegate power, he will..."

"It's just speculation." Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head, "With Wang Qinhai's temperament..."

As he spoke, he smiled.

Cheng Qianfan nodded, understanding what Mr. Imamura meant.

Mr. Wang, who has been crowned as a monkey, is more and more reluctant to give up power.

……

As the car drove through the streets of Hongkou, Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

During this visit to Hyōtaro Imamura, he came into contact with two important pieces of information.

First, according to Hyōtaro Imamura’s judgment, Wang Takumi seems to be uneasy about handing over the position of President of the Executive Yuan to others. This is because he intends to concurrently hold the position of President of the Executive Yuan.

And based on Cheng Qianfan's understanding of Imamura Hyōtaro, this should not only be derived from Imamura Hyōtaro's personal inference. In other words, it is possible that the Wang family has expressed similar demands to the Japanese side through some channels in a relatively subtle way.

Yes, Wang Chuanhai wants to concurrently serve as the president of the Executive Yuan as a 'leader', but it cannot be done without the nod of the Japanese.

There was another piece of information, which was the New Fourth Army's victory statistics table that he saw in the document Imamura Hyoutarou and him looked at.

Judging from Cheng Qianfan's vision and experience, that report is true.

In other words, this is indeed a statistical report on the results of the New Fourth Army.

Such reports will only appear in the hands of staff at higher levels or in very critical positions.

So, the fact that the enemy actually had such a report on the results of the New Fourth Army in his hands had to make Cheng Qianfan highly vigilant. The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt.

Was an important person arrested? Was this document captured by the enemy along with the comrade's arrest?

Or did the enemy obtain relevant intelligence through some means?
If it is the latter, it means that there is an important spy of the enemy within me.Yes, the battle report itself may not be considered highly confidential, but the meaning behind this matter is not simple.

……

creak.

A sudden stop.

Cheng Qianfan's head hit the back of the seat. He almost subconsciously reached for his briefcase and pulled out his Browning gun, his eyes dark and dangerous.

"Brother Fan, are you okay?" Haozi asked quickly.

"I'm fine." Cheng Qianfan said calmly. The finger of his right hand did not leave the trigger, and he looked at the front of the vehicle alertly.

The mules in a mule cart suddenly became stubborn and blocked the road in the middle of the road. Haozi had to brake suddenly.

Li Hao didn't get out of the car. The bodyguard vehicle stopped. The two people got out of the car and guarded the two sides of Xiao Cheng's car. Hou Pingliang brought a man forward with a weapon to check the situation. The driver of the bodyguard vehicle did not turn off the engine. Always be prepared for emergencies.

Bang bang bang.

Several shots were fired.

Cheng Qianfan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He looked clearly in the car and seemed to see that he, the real owner, did not get out of the car. The other party could only take action forcefully. The driver of the mule cart was about to pull out the short gun on his waist, and he Hou Pingliang shot him in the arm and the gun fell to the ground.

At the same time, another bodyguard shot and killed the mule continuously.

This is the correct treatment, mules are also one of the great dangers.

Especially a frightened mule.

The gunshot startled a man behind a tree on the roadside. The man ran away. Hou Pingliang shot the man twice in the back. The man gritted his teeth and ran away after being shot.

Hou Pingliang waved and signaled another vehicle that was following him from a distance to come over. He searched the surrounding area and confirmed that there was no danger. Then he asked Brother Fan to get out of the car and come over.

The injured coachman had been tied up with ropes.

Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, and after taking a few puffs, he squatted down, slapped the assassin on the face with the gloves he had just taken off, and said, "Which way?"

The injured coachman said nothing.

Cheng Qianfan smiled brightly, and said with a smile, "You have a strong bone."

As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan took two puffs of cigarette, and then pressed the red and sparkling cigarette butt against the coachman's face, "Why bother."

A shrill scream came from the driver's mouth.

"Say, say, say, say."

"Wo, Wo are Boss Zhang's people."

……

At this time, Cheng Qianfan was really a bit unpredictable.

The person who assassinated him at the Bund Pier confessed that he was a member of the Sixth Group of the Military Tong Operation in Shanghai. It was the Military Tong who wanted to kill him.

After Cheng Qianfan thought about it carefully, he believed that the military commander should not take action against him at this time.

However, experience and intuition told him that the assassin named Xiang Wei was indeed a military commander, which also meant that the assassination on the Bund did come from the Shanghai District of the military commander.

As for the assassination attempt just now, the assassin who was captured alive quickly confessed.

Assassin Wu Mingfa, a Pengcheng native living in Shanghai, confessed that he was Zhang Xiaolin's man, and he was ordered to assassinate the "Mr. Xiao Cheng" of the French Concession on the orders of Boss Zhang's housekeeper Sui Ermu.

The torture room of the central patrol room.

Cheng Qianfan looked at Wu Mingfa, who was tortured and bloody, with a gloomy expression on his face.

There should be no problem with Wu Mingfa's confession and his confession is credible.

In other words, this person is indeed Zhang Xiaolin's man, and he came to assassinate him on the order of Zhang Xiaolin's housekeeper Sui Ermu.

However, Cheng Qianfan had a strange feeling. This feeling was that in this case, unless Zhang Xiaolin was mad, he should not have sent someone to assassinate him at this time. This does not mean that Zhang Xiaolin did not hate him. , but to say that with Zhang Xiaolin's skills and hatred for him, in this situation where he had just been assassinated, he would either not choose to take action at this time, or once he did, he would use all his strength instead of sending It's up to these two crappy guys to take action.

Therefore, after interrogation, this assassination attempt seemed to have no suspicion, but it was also strange.

Not far from Wu Mingfa, there was Xiang Wei, who was tied to the torture rack. This man was dead, and his death was strange——

This man was poisoned to death.

Lu Jiu took over his order and took Xiang Wei back from Jin Kemu. He tortured him again. Not long after, Xiang Wei became unconscious and foamed at the mouth.

Lao Huang, a medical officer with superb medical skills, first judged that Xiang Wei died of poisoning.

'Interesting', Cheng Qianfan glanced at Wu Mingfa who had passed out, and then at Xiang Wei who was poisoned to death. He muttered, and then snorted heavily.

Central Patrol Room, Chief Inspector's Office.

"Does Uncle Jin want to give his nephew an explanation for this matter?" Cheng Qianfan didn't have a cigarette in his mouth, nor did he hold a cigarette in his hand, but the lighter in his hand was flicking again and again. He said with such a superficial smile.

……

No. 76, Jishi Feier Road.

"Director, after a preliminary search by my subordinates, no one with the nickname 'Little Taoist' was found." Rong Yunzai reported the secret investigation results to Su Chende.

"You don't have to be a 'little Taoist priest.'" Su Chende said thoughtfully, "It doesn't matter if the nickname contains 'Taoist priest' or 'Taoist chief'."

After a pause, he added, "Even a 'taoist nun' will do."

"Director," Rong Yun said, "My subordinates checked and found that there are six people with 'Taoist chiefs' and nine 'Taoist priests'."

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said, "My subordinates are stupid and didn't think of checking for anything with the word 'taoist nun' on it."

"However, my subordinates made an unexpected discovery during the secret investigation." Rong Yun said.

Su Chende nodded slightly and motioned for Rong Yun to continue.

"I won't talk about those fake Taoist priests with white faces, or their nicknames like 'Taoist priests.'" Rong Yun said, "Many of those who are really good-natured have anti-Japanese tendencies."
