063 Situation

In the evening, Pu Su and Lao Ren met.

He inquired about a few bags under his hand, and he had been haunting Huxi day and night in the past two days, trying to find out the rules of activities over there according to Lao Ren's instructions.

When most action planners carry out their activities, they usually want to avoid the edge and pick the weak link.

It's just that Pusu is different. What he needed to know was the exact time when Ding Guangkun and his men would appear at the gambling stalls and tobacco shops, and then start acting on the date they picked up the goods.

In view of the fragile characteristics of this group of Qing gangs, his action plan included the elimination of the first evil Ding Guangkun and the annihilation of other traitors.

So now you need to step on the point many times, one is to catch two and put, and it is best to achieve all the goals perfectly in one raid.

Special operations are characterized by surprise.

Regardless of the final outcome, he will not operate again against the same target for a long time.

If you miss the first hit, the risk will be multiplied if you try to do it a second time. And every member of his team here is extremely valuable, and every resource is hard-won. Even bullets are the same, and when consumed, it is difficult to replenish them.

Therefore, he will definitely not choose to confront the enemy head-on. Even the entire "Sophia Stormtroopers" had to be made aware of its existence in Shanghai on the surface.

Pu Su had already reported on the follow-up actions of his superiors in Shanghai, and he would conduct special operations in the name of the secret operations team of the Central Command and the Military Command. And the superiors have also made it clear that they are supportive, and of course, the specific support is only spiritual now.

After the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, the so-called secret or special forces of the Nationalist Government were in fact synonymous with the guerrilla resistance movement in the suburbs and the political terrorist activities in the urban areas.

Both types of activities were organized by the head of the secret police, Boss Dai. The last time Pu Su and Chen Gongshu met and were taken to the suburbs masked, he suspected that it was a secret military guerrilla station.

Most of the squires were patriotic and willing to support the Nationalist government's resistance against Japan.

In particular, those who seem to be well-read and reasonable in the countryside seem to be much more sincere when talking about national integrity at this time than those so-called progressives who have drunk foreign ink.

In fact, the feelings of family and country in the mouths of this class are only one aspect that can be declared.

The most important factor cannot be explained to the outside world. These squires have a large amount of permanent property in the countryside, and they are real vested interests. The situation is turbulent and changing day by day, and they are the most worried.

In their thoughts, if all those family properties have changed to the Orientals, or are not recognized by Wang's puppet government, then will the painstaking management of several generations be in vain?

Pu Su knew very well that this class of anti-communists had always been the most active and stubborn.

Before the war, Boss Dai organized several types of urban guerrillas and opened special training classes in Songjiang and Qingpu. It's just that the war was all together, and before the fall of Huajie, Boss Dai had already hid in the French Concession.

Although he was in the concession, he still hoped to reconvene the old department, and tried his best to imitate the feat of the head of Xie Jinyuan in Shanghai, and actively resist the Japanese. However, many of his backbones still gave up command and fled to the concession for refuge.

By the time the Japanese army marched into Shanghai, most of the famous commanders of the resistance forces had already left Shanghai.

Therefore, no matter how meticulous the layout and planning are, it also needs the right people to execute.

The anti-Japanese will of the entire Nationalist Government was undoubtedly very resolute. It's a pity that when it comes to the implementation level, it is greatly reduced because of the loyalty of the people below.

This discount is not a simple conversion. Not to mention the waste of a lot of manpower and material resources, once the personnel were captured, most of them chose to defect to the enemy, thus making the previous investment into an act of financing the enemy.

Later, the Japanese army and the Wang puppet regime simply used a team composed of military intelligence personnel of the former Nationalist Government, used the materials left behind by them, and even carried out a purge of the intelligence personnel of the Nationalist Government at the original office location.

It may sound incredible, but it does happen all the time in Shanghai.

On February 1, 1938, the last group of Einsatzgruppen withdrew from Shanghai, and before leaving, they published a farewell letter in a Chinese newspaper, claiming that they had left the concession "for the safety of the residents of the concession".

It's just that even so, at this time, in addition to the Class A intelligence station led by Chen Gongshu, there were also two secret operation groups in Shanghai. The establishment of these two secret action groups came out of the fury of the top echelons of the Nationalist Government at the "traitor activities" of the Shanghai collaborators.

The Shanghai Intelligence Station of the Military Command, which Pu Su now nominally joins, has now been almost half-crippled by the 76th strike.

Chen Gongshu led the intelligence group, and he has been secretly dormant and does not dare to act rashly. However, the targeted assassination missions of the other two covert operations groups were carried out very successfully.

Even if the action group was infiltrated by the spies of No. 76 in the later period, in just two or three years, hundreds of assassinations against traitors and other targets were created. Including the successful launch of assassination operations against Zhou Fengqi, Lu Bohong, Zhang Xiaolin and others.

Compared with the frequent success of the tasks carried out by the secret action group of foreign monks, Chen Gongshu, the head of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, has many practical helplessness.

The defection of Wang Mutian, the former station commander, has indeed caused immeasurable losses to the underground system of the entire Shanghai Military Command. As the stationmaster, he took the lead in surrendering to the enemy, and then ensnared a large number of his former intelligence station subordinates, and then made them fall into the water with both soft and hard measures.

It's never the police who catch thieves the most, it's their fellow thieves.

After these military commanders spies fell into the water, the functions of the Shanghai intelligence station have been paralyzed and unable to operate effectively.

Even if Chen Gongshu and Wang Mutian's methods are not much different, both of them are top figures in the military command. It's just that Chen Gongshu is now carrying out underground activities in the enemy-occupied area, and the old nest of the intelligence station has been wiped out early on, and now he will be beaten as soon as he shows up.

We used to be old acquaintances, and we were old faces to each other. The opponent understands the tactics and means of action, and in this situation, he is indeed very depressed.

Not to mention that most of the country has fallen, the Nationalist Government has gone to Chongqing to persist in resisting Japan, and there is a lack of fresh blood to replenish it. Even if the newcomer comes, he has not received systematic training and does not understand the situation in Shanghai, and he can do very little.

Pu Su has always thought that Shanghai today is like Casablanca in North Africa and Lisbon in Southern Europe. This kind of understanding is not an exaggeration at all, and the real situation is even more than that.

In this environment full of spies, newcomers usually can't survive for a few days before being exposed.

Just like a new member like Pu Su joining, what does Chen Gongshu dare him do? At most, it can only be used in a targeted manner and sent him undercover. Even if this kind of dispatch does not say that he will be killed, the better way to say it can only be resigned to fate.
