Chapter 794: Intelligence Warfare Outside the Customs I
With regard to intelligence work outside the Guanguan, the Military Command Bureau is still mainly engaged in latent and infiltration, and there is no armed struggle here except for a small number of underground party organizations and anti-Japanese guerrilla units that are still persisting in the War of Resistance.
In addition, the enemy's control is getting stronger and stronger, and in particular, the pseudo-police are becoming more and more professional and destructive, and whether it is a military command or a central command, the current work is basically superficial, and there are no dazzling achievements.
Chen Mingxiang certainly came to Guanwai very few times, and what he had to do was very simple, that is, to deepen the relationship of interests with the high-ranking generals of the Kwantung Army, and to collect as much as possible the movements of the Japanese army and the puppet Manchukuo police from his speech, so as to provide protection for the Military Command Bureau and the underground party.
"Of course, it is necessary to have a few drinks, but it is not up to Chen Jun to entertain you, this time our General Headquarters has a treat, and Chen Jun is invited to enjoy our Japanese song and dance performances." Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara said with a smile.
"Your Excellency General, by the way, call General Mamoru Uehara and General Saburo Shibuya, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and everyone is gathered together to be lively." Chen Mingxiang said.
"It's a bit unfortunate today, the Gendarmerie Command and the General Security Bureau, in conjunction with the headquarters of the Bingcheng secret service, are busy implementing a plan to encircle and suppress the underground party guerrillas, and they went to Bingcheng yesterday."
"We have just received secret information that the underground party army in the Soviet Union has secretly dispatched a group of small detachments to infiltrate Jiamusi, Yichun, Suihua and other places to conduct reconnaissance, which must be cleaned up, but it has just entered November, and it has already begun to snow there, and the extreme weather has also increased the difficulty of the search and arrest work." Takeda said.
"With the help of the empire and the protection of the Kwantung Army, Manchukuo can be described as impregnable, and the professional quality of the police in various places, with the careful training of the imperial police and agents, has improved very quickly, and it has basically become a net of heaven and earth."
"I am in Central China, and almost every day I can hear about the arrest of agents of the Shancheng government, and I often hear about the arrest of the underground party, but the territory of Manchukuo is very stable, and in terms of public security, it is a model for the imperial army and the police in the Guannai, and in such an environment, they still dare to engage in sabotage, which is really fatal!" Chen Mingxiang said.
Although these words are flattery against the will, it is also a fact that the northeastern region fell too early, and the process was too fast, and the underground party did not have time to build an anti-Japanese base here, and the armed forces were very weak.
In addition, the Kwantung Army regarded the armed forces of the underground party as a thorn in the flesh, constantly adopted military means, mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, and the secret services and puppet police strengthened the detection of the underground party organizations in various localities.
Sending a small unit back again means that the underground party has never given up the struggle against the Japanese army, has not given up on the people here, and for the common people, this means hope.
"Chen Jun is right, the situation in Manchukuo is indeed relatively stable, whether it is the Shancheng government or the underground party, the anti-Japanese organizations here have been wiped out and almost uprooted, and the problem brought about by this is that they are more hidden, so they have a joint intelligence conference."
"The guerrillas of the underground party are indeed tenacious enough, and there are still a lot of fish that have slipped through the net despite such a vigorous continuous encirclement and suppression, and they hide in the deep mountains and dense forests, and occasionally engage in sabotage activities, and the losses may not be too great, but the impact is very bad."
"Since the main force fled to the territory of the Soviet Union, it has been stable for a while, but I did not expect to send a small force into the territory of Manchukuo this time, it is estimated that it is to contact the guerrillas and spy on the deployment of troops of the Kwantung Army on the border." Takeda said.
This topic has not been developed, and Chen Mingxiang can't ask more, so as not to arouse suspicion, but the outline of the intelligence has been roughly outlined, and the focus of the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression is Jiamusi, Yichun, and Suihua.
There is still time to go, Hara Mamoru and Shibuya Saburo left yesterday, and Takeda Ko also said that he had just received information proving that the Japanese army had only demarcated the general area, but there was no accurate information.
What shocked Chen Mingxiang was that the organization of the underground party in Manchukuo may have the inside lines of the Japanese military intelligence agency or the National Police Agency, or in other words, the Soviet intelligence department may have traitors, which is a common-sense judgment.
What kind of confidential information is that the detachment infiltrated the puppet Manchukuo, it must have been carefully considered, trying to hide its whereabouts, and it can still be discovered by the Japanese army in this way, is there any other explanation?
By chance? People in the intelligence services have never believed in chance, and even if there is, it is a cause and then an effect!
That night, at the senior club of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters in Xinjing, Chen Mingxiang and a group of high-ranking Japanese officers had a very hearty Japanese meal.
Although the tea set is also a high-quality product, it doesn't matter, as for what exactly is in the box, everyone knows it. The first transaction was completed, and Chen Mingxiang successfully obtained the US dollar gold, which was to give a little benefit to the specific manager and the approver to facilitate future business.
Although it was not explicitly stated at the time, everyone knew that this was inevitable, and no one would break it, and the Kwantung Army had already inquired clearly about Chen Mingxiang's style of acting.
"The relationship between the headquarters of the Bingcheng secret service and the Bingcheng gendarmerie is simply unbearable, with a small quarrel for two days and a big quarrel for three days, which makes the local police department and the security bureau listen to no one, and the work efficiency is seriously affected." Having a good time, Takeda himself brought up the topic.
"It is also very difficult for our headquarters to resolve the contradictions between these two sides, and we can only turn a blind eye to it, and there are many overlapping places in the nature of the work of the secret service and the gendarmerie, and they both have the function of guiding and managing the police and the secret police. Yukio Kasahara shook his head and said.
The advantage of overlapping functions is that no one can dominate the family, which is convenient for the upper level to control and manage, but the disadvantage is that no one wants the most power, and no one is willing to concede, and the contradiction is deepening day by day.
The most typical is Lieutenant Sakamoto, the captain of the Dongning military police detachment, who led the gendarmes to copy the Dongning spy sub-organ, arrested the head of the organ, Captain Fujishima Ichiro, and all the members, and the contradictions between the two sides broke out completely.
trivial matters, the lawsuit was brought to the headquarters in three days, and the dignified commander, General Umezu Mijiro, had nothing to do with them, so he pushed the matter to Yukio Kasawara.
The commander has nothing to do, and Yukio Kasahara, who is the chief of the General Staff, can do anything to push it on the head of Takeda Gong, who is in charge of intelligence, and the secret service and the Security Bureau have to be subject to his control.
Takeda Gong can't be pushed anymore, and it's a mess of it, it's not a problem that can't be provoked, but if this system is not changed, this phenomenon can't be solved.
