"What? Xuzhou's intelligence officers lost more than half in one day? ”
In Beiping, the head of the Japanese Army's Special High Division, Seiichi Nakasa, looked at the telegram he had just received with a shocked expression.
Since the end of 37 years, with Xuzhou as the center, the strategy of encircling and annihilating more than 300,000 main forces of the Republic of China has already begun to be implemented, and the tenth, thirteenth, and fifth eight divisions and six mixed brigades with a total of more than 200,000 troops have begun to assemble in Xuzhou, and in order to cooperate with the front-line battle, the special high-tech department has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to spy on the news around Xuzhou.
The establishment and fortification structure of the army of the Republic of China, the firepower configuration of the defensive position, the location of the bunker and the warehouse, and the subsequent troop movement, these are all information that needs intelligence personnel to obtain, and the war is imminent, and the Republic of China is obviously at a disadvantage.
But at such an important moment, half of the intelligence personnel in Xuzhou City were actually wiped out within one day.
What is this?
The Ming enemy must have already figured out the list of intelligence personnel in Xuzhou City, and he was just waiting for the opportunity to catch them all.
But why pick this time?
Shouldn't spies be arrested first, tortured aside, tried all kinds of fancy interrogation techniques, and then beheaded in public?
Why just shoot them all?
It's weird.
Looking carefully at the telegram in his hand, Seiichi Kawa fell into deep thought...
As the top person in charge of the special high school around Beiping City, he has been in a hurry lately.
First of all, I didn't know what happened around Wanping City, an elite brigade was wiped out overnight, and he sent a large number of intelligence officers without even finding out who the enemy was.
Then the Eighth Route Army on the Jin-Cha-Ji side suddenly rose up without knowing what's going on, changing the previous poor posture of lacking everything, and a fierce artillery bombardment hit the two brigades of the empire with a disgraced face. However, all the intelligence points indicate that the Eighth Route Army has not received any weapons and ammunition replenishment recently.
Finally, yesterday, more than 80 intelligence officers were completely wiped out, and all of them were killed, and not a single one of them survived, including not only a few generals of an enemy division who had been plotted against a week earlier, but even some top-secret personnel who had been lurking for more than ten years and had never been activated. But some of the intelligence officers who were sent out a few weeks ago were fine.
Dropping the telegram on the table, Chuan Makoto rubbed his temples on both sides of his eyebrows, thinking in his heart.
Since half of the intelligence personnel in Xuzhou City can be wiped out in one time, there is a high probability that the remaining intelligence personnel who remain in Xuzhou City have been exposed, although they will definitely stop their intelligence activities after hearing the news, and all of them will change to a deep lurking state.
But just in case, should all the intelligence officers be withdrawn?
Tapping his fingers on the table, Seiichi Kawa hesitated in his heart...
The war is imminent, and now the withdrawal of all intelligence personnel in Xuzhou City will inevitably affect the follow-up intelligence work, once it affects the battle on the front line, it will be troublesome, and it is not good that he will not even be able to keep his position, and he may even commit suicide.
Half of the personnel were exposed, and according to the laws of intelligence, the other half of the people basically could not escape as long as the enemy touched the melon.
However, that half has been wiped out, and Teng has been cut off by the enemy himself.
Moreover, the enemy's large-scale extermination is most likely a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, so it is possible that the enemy does not know the information of the remaining intelligence officers, and once he orders a retreat, it is very likely that he will fall into the hands of the enemy.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally did not give the order to withdraw the turbulence.
······
Next.
Xuzhou, Yuan Zai, the head of the military command, looked at the information that came up today, and his mouth opened suddenly.
Before, within a year, there were more than 80 shooting cases in Xuzhou City, half of which were killed by headshots and half were killed by a knife, and even included a division commander and three regiment commanders, originally he thought that this was just a large-scale assassination carried out by the Japanese intelligence organization, and after being reprimanded by his superiors, he could only strengthen the security patrol of Xuzhou City.
But looking at the information in his hand, Yuan Zai was now a little shocked and dazed.
Afterwards, in the spirit of thieves, he organized his subordinates to search the residences of these deceased, originally just to make a little money, but this search really found big things, and half of the homes of these deceased people found clear Japanese spy information, and even two secret radio stations were found.
"Interesting"
His fingers kept tapping on the table, and Yuan Zai's mind floated.
Half of the people who can search for direct evidence can be found, so there are definitely more Japanese spies among the rest of the dead, after all, not all spies will hide evidence in their own homes.
So from this information, it can be seen that it was definitely not the Japanese army that did it this time, after all, it was impossible for the Japanese army to kill its own intelligence officers on such a large scale, and many of them were the kind that had been hidden for more than ten years and never started.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the strength of the Central Union dropped greatly, and it was almost crippled, and there were only a few people in Xuzhou City, so it was impossible to organize such a large-scale ambush, and as for other forces, it was absolutely impossible.
Who did it?
Wonjae couldn't help but frown and think.
Killed more than 80 people in one night, this is difficult to do even by yourself, and according to the situation at the scene, all these people who were killed have no traces of resistance, and only a few bigwig commanders in the military can do it at such a level.
However, he was reprimanded by those military bigwigs yesterday for unfavorable intelligence...
"Report" An intelligence officer walked in and handed Wonjae a sealed bag of documents.
"This was searched from a hidden place frequented by the deceased, and here is evidence that Division Commander Wu and several of his regiment commanders were rebelled"
"What"
Hearing this, Yuan Zai hurriedly opened the file bag and took out the documents from it.
His eyes widened as he looked at it, and then he looked up suddenly, and he felt that he vaguely knew who had done it.
"Check, follow these deceased, investigate the people they often come into contact with, investigate the places they often go to, and don't let go of all the people who come into contact with them"
Who knows the Japanese spy best? The Japanese themselves, of course.
Only the Japanese themselves can figure out the identities of all the Japanese spies, and only the Japanese themselves know about those old people who have been lurking for more than ten years, and the people who can kill all the spies overnight, and they are killed without the other party's warning, and only the Japanese themselves.
Being a spy means being on guard at all times.
He also knew that the Japanese army and navy were very at odds with each other, and combined with the constant mutual crushing between the central and military commanders of the Republic of China, he was sure that this major espionage case would inevitably be an internal struggle between the Japanese.
In a city as big as Xuzhou, it was impossible for the Japanese spies to withdraw completely.
Then, as long as you move fast enough, you should be able to catch some remnants.
After giving the order, he couldn't help but take a bottle of wine from the table and pour a glass to celebrate his own ingenuity.
