Li Lixin entered the office, bowed down and asked Zhang Zhengkui for instructions: "Commander, you have something to do with me!" ”

Zhang Zhengkui was depressed and his mind was swollen, he sat on the chair and waved his hand to Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng immediately understood what he meant, so he turned around and introduced some information to Li Lixin, but he deliberately omitted this paragraph of the message, just saying that according to reliable information, someone had sent a message to the Japanese, and knew the commander's itinerary for inspecting the position of the heavy artillery brigade twice, so as to judge the general range.

After all, the cable record was provided by Seiji Yasuda, and Seiji Yasuda would be an important pawn that he had inserted into the intelligence department of the Japanese military department, and his information must not be leaked to anyone.

Of course, Ning Zhiheng did not dare to hide anything from Zhang Zhengkui, otherwise he would not be able to win Zhang Zhengkui's trust.

Zhang Zhengkui heard Ning Zhiheng's narration, and quickly understood Ning Zhiheng's intentions, thinking that this kid was worthy of being an agent engaged in intelligence, and he was so cautious in what he said and did, compared to the officers in his own army who were indeed too negligent in this regard.

At that moment, he picked up the telegram record in his hand and signaled to Ning Zhiheng, Ning Zhiheng also understood Zhang Zhengkui's intention, which meant to keep it secret for him, so he stepped forward, took the telegram record, and carefully put it away.

Ning Zhiheng then said: "Brother Lixin, I just want to know now, do you remember October 1st, does anyone know the commander's itinerary to inspect the position in the heavy artillery." ”

Li Lixin has been listening to Ning Zhiheng's narration, there are Japanese spies in the theater headquarters? He was obviously shocked by this incident, but he was also determined, he was only stunned, and quickly said: "Time has passed a little long, and I don't remember it clearly, but the one who can know the commander's itinerary is usually me, Luo Yingzhe, chief of staff of the General Staff, and Zhang Zhiye, commander of the guard company, know, of course, several other combat staff officers may also know."

Confidential secretary Lu Weicai was swept away by shrapnel during a bombing by an enemy plane at the end of last month, and on 1 October, he was still recuperating from his wounds in the infirmary, and he could be ruled out.

As for the others, Chief of Staff Luo and Operational Staff Officer Cheng Ting, and Guard Company Commander Zhang Zhiye can be ruled out.

Then only the other four operational staff officers remained. ”

In the theater command headquarters, the staff department is a very important auxiliary department, especially the chief of staff and the five operational staff officers with the highest status, they are the senior officers who have the most contact with Zhang Zhengkui in peacetime, and they collect and sort out the combat information of various departments and units in peacetime, and according to Zhang Zhengkui's instructions, designate specific combat plans and assign specific combat tasks, so it is not difficult for them to know some information about Zhang Zhengkui.

Ning Zhiheng nodded when he heard this, and said: "In this way, there are four more suspects, this number is not much, we have enough energy to monitor them!" ”

Zhang Zhengkui was stunned for a moment, and said for a long time: "After all, these four people are all subordinates who have followed me for many years, although they want to check carefully, but don't hurt your face!" ”

Ning Zhiheng understood Zhang Zhengkui's concerns, he smiled slightly: "Commander, please rest assured, to screen this kind of small-scale suspicious target, our military intelligence department has many methods, if you don't want to come hard and hurt everyone's harmony, then the simplest and most effective way is to put false information and let the target jump out by itself, as long as the monitoring is in place, everything will soon fall into place!" ”

Zhang Zhengkui waved his hand and said: "I'll leave this matter to you, after all, you are an expert in intelligence." But time can't be delayed, our troops are about to be deployed, and you don't have much time! ”

When he said the last sentence, Zhang Zhengkui hesitated slightly, but still didn't say much.

"Yes, the student must find this mole as soon as possible, and he will never have another chance to pass on any information!" Ning Zhiheng replied loudly, and hesitated again after speaking, "The student has one more thing to tell!" ”

"What else?" Zhang Zhengkui asked, but seeing Ning Zhiheng's hesitant look, he turned his head to Li Lixin and said, "You go first!" ”

Li Lixin was very clever, and immediately took the order, turned around and exited the office.

Ning Zhiheng has always been cautious in doing things, and when he watched Li Lixin leave, he continued to report: "Through the telegram, we found the Noguchi plainclothes team that has been active in the Gaoqiao area, and it was hidden in a warehouse called Whittle during this time, and I plan to set off tomorrow to encircle and suppress this plainclothes team." Ning Zhiheng stepped forward and reported.

"Whittle warehouse?" Zhang Zhengkui was stunned for a moment, he asked with some doubts, "Hasn't it been emptied by us?" How dare they hide there? ”

Ning Zhiheng didn't expect that Zhang Zhengkui also knew about this Whitle warehouse, and after he got the information, he rushed over directly, and he didn't have a specific understanding of the situation in a hurry, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you know this warehouse?" ”

Zhang Zhengkui nodded, walked to a map hanging on the wall, pointed to a marker in the Gaoqiao area and said: "This is the Whittle warehouse, located along the Huangpu River, don't underestimate this warehouse, at the end of August we fought several times with the Japanese to grab this warehouse." ”

He looked at Ning Zhiheng's surprised appearance again, and explained carefully: "This Whittle warehouse was originally built by a British businessman, but the Japanese didn't know how to buy this British, and in such an inconspicuous warehouse, the Japanese quietly stored a large amount of high-quality coal!" ”

"Coal?" Ning Zhiheng asked with some confusion.

"Yes, coal! And it was high-quality coal specifically designed to drive the Japanese gunboats, which they had been planning for a long time.

Many of the Japanese gunboats were still powered by steam, and they had to use a lot of coal to drive and fight.

In order to replenish the convenience, they hid the coal in the Whittle warehouse in advance, and as long as the war started, they could replenish a large amount of high-quality coal nearby, and drive gunboats to block the Huangpu River.

Because the warehouse was hung with the British brand, at the beginning of the war, we did not clear the Whittle warehouse, and we did not find these high-quality coal, and as a result, at the beginning of the war, the Japanese tried to land at Takahashi, and they were repelled in time.

It wasn't until a chance encounter that we discovered that their true intentions were actually these high-quality coals, and then we fought with the Japanese several times, and finally emptied the entire warehouse, so that the Japanese gave up, and then they gave up their attempt to land in the Takahashi area.

And no one paid attention to this Whittle warehouse anymore, and now it has become an empty room, I didn't expect that the Japanese plainclothes team would dare to hide here. ”

Hearing Zhang Zhengkui's narration, Ning Zhiheng realized that this Whittle warehouse was once a key military location for the two sides, but now it has no value, so they all gave up.

However, the so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, and the Japanese know this very well!

At this time, Zhang Zhengkui was a little distracted in front of the map, as if he had thought of something!

Suddenly, his face changed, and he said thoughtfully: "Do they want to repeat the old thing and land from Gaoqiao again?" ”

Ning Zhiheng didn't understand the overall situation of the war, nor did he have a keen insight into the dynamics of the battlefield like Zhang Zhengkui, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, but he still understood what Zhang Zhengkui meant.

"You're saying that it is possible for them to land in the Gaoqiao area again and repeat the scenario of the Lujiazui landing operation." Ning Zhiheng asked suspiciously.

Ning Zhiheng still knew about the Lujiazui landing battle, when the Japanese army landed in Lujiazui and was blocked by the Chinese army, at this time, the plainclothes team hidden in the nearby coastal warehouse suddenly attacked the flank of the Chinese army, the Chinese army was caught off guard, and almost let the Japanese succeed, and later spent a huge price to repel the Japanese army.

Do they still want to repeat their old tricks, landing in the Takahashi area, and then the plainclothes team attacking the flank from the Whittle warehouse in an attempt to complete the landing operation?

Zhang Zhengkui's eyes flickered, he gasped lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Very likely!" It's just that there is only one more suitable landing point in the Gaoqiao area, which is actually not very suitable for landing operations, so after that, the focus of our defense is in the middle reaches of the Huangpu River, which is densely populated with docks, and now it seems that we have to defend against it! ”

Zhang Zhengkui turned his head to Ning Zhiheng and said solemnly: "I will immediately adjust the battle plan, originally planned to go to Wusongkou to set up defenses, and the headquarters will also move to Wangjiaji in Wusongkou, now it seems that Gaoqiao needs to be more guarded." Zhiheng, if the enemy really launched a surprise attack on Takahashi this time, then you have made another great achievement! ”

Ning Zhiheng said with some shame: "The student has not done anything, how dare he lead this great achievement, and it is still unknown whether the Japanese army will land at Gaoqiao!" ”

Zhang Zhengkui Zhengse said: "There must be this preparation, I will divide a part of the troops to strengthen the defense of the Gaoqiao area, where the landing site is single, as long as there is a defense, it is very difficult for the Japanese to succeed." ”

Ning Zhiheng knew that Zhang Zhengkui had extremely rich battlefield experience and had a strong control over the battle situation, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with the important task of presiding over the military affairs of the right-wing theater by the leader.

He pleaded again: "Just in case, I'll clear this Noguchi plainclothes team first, so as to prevent future troubles!" ”

Zhang Zhengkui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since I know where they are hiding, there is no threat, a small army of 100 people, as long as it is not caught off guard at a critical moment, it is actually insignificant, I will keep them and lure the Japanese to take the bait." ”

After speaking, he sighed, feeling that he still had to let Ning Zhiheng prepare in advance, and then said: "What's more, you don't have time to encircle and suppress the plainclothes team!" ”
