Chapter 2: The Predecessor of the Military Command

War came unexpectedly, the iron hooves of the invaders stepped into our land, and the flames of war were spreading......

Since April 12, 1927, Chiang issued a secret order in Nanjing: "All provinces that have been recovered shall unanimously implement the purging of the party." That night, Du Yuesheng, the leader of the Youth Gang, invited Wang Hua, chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, to a dinner party in the name of the "Shanghai Federation of Trade Circles" and the "China Communist Association," and lured Wang to Du's house to be killed.

On April 12, Chiang staged a coup d'état in Shanghai, and Bai Chongxi carried out Chiang's coup plan in Shanghai. In the early hours of the morning, hundreds of heavily armed Qinghong gang and spies, dressed in blue shorts and with white cloth and black armbands wrapped around their arms, scattered from the French Concession in a number of cars. From 1 a.m. to 5 p.m., they attacked workers' pickets in Zhabei, Nanshi, Huxi, Wusong, Hongkou and other districts. The workers' pickets put up a sudden resistance, and fierce fighting broke out between the two sides. A large number of military and police officers who had been ambushed around the workers' pickets in advance forcibly confiscated their firearms in the name of mediating "workers' infighting." More than 2,700 armed workers' pickets in Shanghai were disarmed. More than 120 workers were killed and 180 wounded. In the morning of the same day, the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions and the workers' pickets in various districts were occupied. In the concession and the Chinese border, the foreign military police searched for more than 1,000 Red Party members and workers and handed them over to Chiang Kai-shek's military police.

In the three days from April 12 to 15, more than 300 people were massacred in Shanghai, more than 1,000 Red Party members were arrested, and more than 5,000 people went into exile. Workers' leaders Zhao Shiyan and Chen Yannian were killed one after another.

Not only are there internal divisions, but there are also clowns from the outside who are eyeing the territory of our country.

Since Li Yang talked with Major General Zhang after that day, Li Yang also thought for a while when he went back, the current domestic situation is tense, and now the students who graduated from Whampoa will immediately go to the battlefield, because the principal wants to suppress the Red Party, and this is exactly what Li Yang does not want to see, he devotes himself to serving the country to resist foreign enemies, not his own internal struggle.

Major General Zhang told himself that if he had something to do in the future, he would go to Instructor Huang, and he was considered his senior brother, and he also told himself that there are many factions in the army now, among which the largest military is the Baoding department, and most of the young officers came out of the Whampoa Military Academy.

Li Yang clearly knew that this was to pull himself into the faction, Li Yang knew that this was an opportunity for himself, Li Yang and Instructor Huang often came together, and Instructor Huang also conducted strict training for Li Yang, and handed over all the skills he knew to Li Yang, after the recruit training, because of his outstanding performance in the exercise, Major General Zhang recommended the operation, and cooperated with Germany, and entered Germany for two years of study, and before that.

Li Yang was concerned by the upper-level leaders because of his excellent grades, and when he went out, in fact, this was also recommended by Major General Zhang, but Li Yang didn't know, and then someone found Li Yang, and it was also because of the special attention to Li Yang, Li Yang was absorbed into the peripheral members of the secret service, and that person told him to pay attention to the language and speech of the internal members of the Whampoa Military Academy, because the Red Party personnel are now infiltrated, so the internal purity must be maintained.

But Li Yang knew that all this was a struggle for power among insiders, Li Yang only paid attention to these, and some people made remarks, Li Yang only reminded him a little and did not report it, and because of this, Li Yang did not get the attention of the above, and then Li Yang went to Germany for training.

In Germany, Li Yang learned German, Japanese, and English here, learned special operations, learned espionage warfare, and secret agent skills, which he had also been exposed to before, but did not study systematically, and this time, what Li Yang learned this time has made great help for his future espionage career.

In the late autumn of September in China, great changes took place in the country, among them, within the Kuomintang Party, Boss Dai took the lead in establishing the Lixing Society, and Li Yang naturally belonged to the Lixing Society, and in September of this year, a major event also happened in the country, and the eastern territory fell

In 1931, Japan deliberately created and launched a war of aggression against China in Northeast China, under the arrangement of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the railway "garrison" blew up the Nanban railway track near Shenyang Wicker Lake, and planted it to the Chinese army, Japan used this as an excuse to bombard the Beidaying in Shenyang, "The next day, the Japanese army invaded Shenyang, and successively occupied the three northeastern provinces, in 1932, the entire northeast fell, after that, Japan established a puppet regime of the puppet Manchu state in northeast China, The enslavement of the people of the Northeast for 14 years began.

Later, Li Yang learned that before that, Japan had tried to occupy China's territory, and the Chinese Kuomintang had wanted to use Northeast China to exchange weapons and equipment for Japan, and Japan refused this deal at that time, all of which Li Yang did not know now, Li Yang only learned later, Li Yang appeared on the battlefield behind the enemy line as an intelligence officer of the secret service, and joined the reading club during the German period, and secretly joined the Red Party, providing great help to the Red Party in the future.

During the two years in Germany, Li Yang read a lot of books here, including the banned books indicated by the domestic principal, Li Yang did not disagree with the views in them, but he read these books secretly, he didn't know if there were people like himself around him, because spies are everywhere, this kind of identity cannot be made public, and the final fate of the public spy identity is very miserable. When he joined the reading club in Germany, he knew the Red Party, and Li Yang secretly joined the Red Party, and all these identities were top secret.

Since then, Li Yang has embarked on this road, and since then, every step he has taken has been lived carefully, for fear that he would fall into the abyss if he stumbled.

Two years later, time flies quickly, and Li Yang embarked on the road back to China, and it is now 1934, and this year is also the time when the ninth class of members of the Whampoa Military Academy graduated

On the eve of Li Yang's graduation, in April 1934, the principal merged the Nanchang Xingying Investigation Department with the Blue Coat Society's Special Service Office to establish the Military Commission's Special Service Department, with Boss Dai as the director. The purpose of the secret service was to intensify the collection of intelligence for the Red Party, which was the predecessor of the military command, and the National Military Council was only formed in 1937 to investigate the Bureau of Statistics.

The secret service of the Military Commission was established, Li Yang was also absorbed in, after the establishment, Boss Dai held an all-staff meeting, Li Yang invited to participate in the big painting, many people here were absorbed, most of them were recommended by the bigwigs in the army, basically all of them are talents, because of this graduation Li Yang was assigned here, so his current identity does not need to be secretly hidden, Li Yang This is the first time to see Boss Dai.

Boss Dai is a medium-sized strong man, with a rough and tough appearance, and a soldier's ability, Li Yang knows that Boss Dai was once a member of the fourth phase of Whampoa, his face is contoured, his sharp gaze is aggressive, and he has a resolute mouth. But his hands were slender and thin, and when he walked to the podium above, his steps were large and powerful, and his eyes scanned everyone in the audience sharply, as if he had written down the facial features and personality of the people below.

"Welcome to the Military Commission's Secret Service, this is an honor bestowed on me by the Principal, you are honored to serve the country and the Principal," Boss Dai's voice was loud and loud, and the whole church was filled with his voice.

Boss Dai didn't say too much, he said it briefly and forcefully, and walked away, followed by some welcome ceremonies, introducing the departments under the Military Commission, including the Operations Section, the Intelligence Section, the Telecommunications Section, and many other departments, each of which has its own belonging.

The Operations Section is responsible for arresting people, in charge of the handling of judicial cases and prison management, under the jurisdiction of the judicial and special forces, the section chief is concurrently served by Boss Dai, the intelligence section collects intelligence, including domestic and foreign intelligence, investigation and research, analysis and compilation, including internal intelligence and field service, the section chief is Tang Cong. OFA monitors radio ,...... Li Yang has now joined the Special Service of the Military Commission and has been assigned to the second team under the Intelligence Section, mainly in charge of field service.

On the first day of taking office, Li Yang was summoned by the section chief Tang Cong, and now the secret service is working in a deep courtyard in Nanjing, which was originally a large family, and was later converted into the current secret service studio, which is still a residential atom on the surface, and Boss Dai generally does not work here, because he has a special identity and cannot see him for a long time.

"Knock knock" Li Yang came to Tang Cong's office, knocked lightly on the door, and stood straight at the door.

"Come in." Li Yang heard Tang Cong's promise, pushed the door and walked in.

"Li Yang" Tang Cong sat in a chair and put down his hand in Chinese, looking at Li Yang with a serious expression and said.

"Yes" Li Yang didn't know what Tang Cong was looking for him to do.

"Don't be nervous, relax, I heard Zhang Xianghui tell me about you. I came here today because I have something to tell you" Tang Cong saw that Li Yang was a little tense, and mentioned Major General Zhang to Li Yang, asking him to relax a little.

"General Zhang, do you know him?" Li Yang relaxed a little, but still stood straight, wanting to hear what to say next.

"Yes, I used to be comrades-in-arms with General Zhang, and he recommended it to me." Tang Cong briefly introduced his relationship with Major General Zhang to Li Yang.

"I really didn't expect that you and General Zhang knew each other, what did you do with me here?" Li Yang thought that there should be nothing bad, but it shouldn't be anything bad.

"You also know that our intelligence department is responsible for the collection of intelligence, when we were in the 918 incident, the Japanese were staring at us outside, before that, Japan sent a large number of spies and intelligence personnel into our country to live, they studied Chinese, understood the living habits of Chinese, and almost integrated into China, and now what our military commanders need is to dig out those, they draw the mountains and rivers of our country, which shows their wolf ambitions. Your appointment has been handed down, and you are the head of the second group of the intelligence department, and your task is to collect and dig up the intelligence of the Japanese officer. Can you complete the task. Tang Cong's voice was loud when he said this, and he expressed deep disgust and disgust for the Japanese.

"Yes, I accept." When Li Yang heard Tang Cong's words, his blood seemed to be burned, since the change, he learned about the wolf ambition of the Japanese, for the invaders, he joined the army to serve the country. Now is the time to dedicate oneself to one's country.

"Okay, General Zhang didn't mistake you when he came over, and you have to live up to General Zhang's hopes, he is very optimistic about you, work hard."

"Your letter of appointment will be issued soon, you can report it now and familiarize yourself, the school, you don't have to attend the graduation ceremony, you don't have to say goodbye to them, they will also go to their respective battlefields later, your identity will change in the future, and there may not be any intersection with them. Your files have been transferred by us, and all your materials have been kept in top secret. After Tang Cong explained the task to Li Yang, he told him that he now belonged to the Special Service of the Military Commission, and the previous files were also sealed and preserved, and all the previous materials were gone, which was also to protect the personal safety of the intelligence personnel, not to leave any photos, not to leave any information, and the transferred materials were also kept in top secret.

"Yes, I'll go to work right away." Li Yang obeyed the order, took office, and immediately went back to work on the tasks assigned by Tang Ke.

At the same time, Instructor Huang of the General Staff of the Group Army was talking with Major General Zhang: "Huang Zhi, this time it was established in the secret service, and your apprentice was arranged, are you willing to do it?" ’

"How come, since the first day of school, I look at this kid differently, he usually doesn't talk much, if he enters the army, he will definitely offend many people with his character, and if he goes to the front line, life and death are left to fate, and now the country is killing siblings, I don't know why, I really don't want this kid to go to such a battlefield." If such words are heard in the army, they will at least be isolated and examined. But Huang Zhi said it in front of Major General Zhang.

"Huang Zhi, you say this here, don't take it out, and you don't look at where it is. Do you know" Major General Zhang looked at Huang Zhi with a serious face, and his voice raised a little.

"It took a lot of effort to enter the military secret service for our Baoding Department this time, but I pulled down my old face to talk to Tang Cong, that bastard, and I quarreled with the principal, otherwise...... You kid will go back to the staff as soon as you turn around. Zhang Xianghui values Han Zhi very much, in fact, Huang Zhi recommended Li Yang to Zhang Xianghui, he knew that Zhang Xianghui was for the Baoding Department.

"Ahem, ahem, okay," Huang Zhi drooped his head.

The Baoding Department has very great rights in the army, and no one from the Baoding Department, the predecessor of the Military Intelligence Department, has entered, and it took a lot of effort to get in this time.

The personnel here are all quickly entering the post, and many of them have been transferred in secret.

Li Yang came here, just a team leader, so he and the team members are working together, came to the office, saw that there are not many people in the office, some of them are new to get office supplies and equipment, Li Yang knows that there are a lot of people now, and wants to get it later, come over to take a look first, familiarize himself with the office space, and he needs to go to the archives to retrieve the information of previous years, analyze the information collected by the predecessors before, and he wants to analyze, sort out, and archive this information. Let's see if we can find anything.
