Chapter 68 Training Courses
"What else?"
Geng Chaozhong sat in the office of the action team with a blank expression, listened to the reports of several people under him, and interjected a few words from time to time to grasp the latest situation.
"Nope."
Liu Jiu, Feng Yunyou, He Chunhui, Xiao Yi, and Jin Huajin glanced at each other and lowered their heads.
It had been almost a week since he went to the Northeast and returned to the Investigation Section, and the tasks had already been assigned, and Geng Chaozhong had not only gone to the General Affairs Unit every day to have a look, but also urged several of his subordinates to find clues about the actions of the Japanese as soon as possible.
Although Liu Yiban promised to give himself a position as head of the general affairs unit, Geng Chaozhong was not satisfied.
In the final analysis, the head of the general affairs unit is just a big housekeeper, and he does not have a direct grasp of the front-line intelligence, and he lacks the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, not to mention that with Liu Yiban's character, it is simply unrealistic to really hand over the general affairs unit!
Nonsense, which leader would let others know about his little coffers?
Take Xie Yungu, the deputy head of the general affairs unit, for example, he will answer any question he asks, but if he wants to ask a little more carefully, he will start to push two five or six - either he needs the authorization of the section chief, or he needs the section chief's signature, or he just throws a bunch of account books over for Geng Chaozhong to see for himself.
That attitude is almost blatantly asking Geng Chaozhong to get out!
Geng Chaozhong didn't believe that he dared to do this to himself as Xie Yungu, and it was obvious that he was instructed by Liu Yiban.
So in addition to getting acquainted with the situation yesterday, Geng Chaozhong didn't bother to go to the general affairs unit to find his face.
Meritorious service has to fall on the action team.
However, these team members are really not good, from the time they went to the Northeast to go back and forth in the past few days, they have not found a valuable clue, and the answers are all "everything is normal".
What the hell is going on with you going to do it?
Seeing that Geng Chaozhong's face was not good-looking, Liu Jiu cautiously answered:
"Captain, the consulate and the Manchurian Railway we are eyeing are both official and commercial institutions, not as military departments as the Qingshan Mansion and the Yantian Mansion. Take the consulate as an example, people usually come and go are ordinary people, such as Japanese expatriates settling down, looking for people, and returning to China, and there are no valuable clues at all. On the Manchurian side, Japanese businessmen come in and out, and most of them are local Japanese businessmen, and they collect business information, so it is difficult for us to find a breakthrough even if we go to check. ”
Geng Chaozhong nodded, what He Chunhui said did make sense. The consulate itself and the Manchurian Railway are open institutions, and even if they do some intelligence work, they are mainly based on open commercial, economic, and political information, and the real secret tasks are still completed by the two institutions of Castle Peak Mansion and Yantian Mansion.
I'm really in a bit of a hurry!
Intelligence gathering does not happen overnight, and it is indeed unlikely that you will be able to achieve something in just one week.
"What has Captain Ding been up to lately?"
Geng Chaozhong's face was slightly calm, and he asked.
Several people looked at each other again - this kind of thing is an internal investigation, just a point-to-point private question, how can there be such a blatant inquiry, this Captain Geng is too unsophisticated!
Xiao Yi was responsible for this question, he looked at several colleagues and did not mean to avoid it, and Geng Chaozhong did not stop himself alone, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Captain, in addition to listening to reports in the office recently, Captain Ding went to a tailor shop on Shandong Road to wander around, as if he had fallen in love with someone's girl, and every time he went back, he had to go to the Life Forest Cake Shop on the other side of the street to buy something."
Well?
A tailor's shop on Shandong Road?
I remember that Old Man Zhao told him that Fu Yuzhen lived in a place called Li Ji Tailor Shop at No. 266 Shandong Road.
Is it possible?
him!
This Ding Weizun actually dared to break ground on the head of Tai Sui Ye and plant grass on the old grave? !
Several subordinates couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw Geng Chaozhong's unkind face, a little confused about this Captain Geng's routine - I didn't see him so unhappy at work just now, what's wrong?
"How many days has Captain Ding been over there?"
"I've been going every day for the past few days."
Xiao Yi replied cautiously.
Seeing Xiao Yi's cautious face, and the rest of the team members were also trembling, Geng Chaozhong suddenly smiled and said:
"Oh, it's not a big deal, maybe I'm in too much of a hurry. Intelligence is really in a hurry, and everyone shouldn't be too stressed, by the way, has the team found anything? It's okay if you don't have a clear clue, just tell me where they've been. ”
He Chunhui and Jin Huajin were in charge of this matter, and at that time, considering that Jin Huajin didn't have much experience, he asked He Chunhui to take him, and he didn't do anything else, just stared at a team of people to see if he could cut off something.
He Chunhui stood up, with a little excitement on his face, as if he had made a discovery.
"Boss, the first team has arranged secret sentinels at the Qingshan Mansion and the Yantian Mansion, and I watch them with Hua Jin every day. On the morning of the day you went out, a group of brothers who were staring at the Qingshan Mansion suddenly ran to the port, and then boarded a passenger ship called the "Sea Dragon", slipped around and came down again, and it seemed that there was some clue. But we all know each other, and we don't dare to get too close. ”
Oh?
This is a bit interesting, it seems that Ono Jiro of the Aoyama Mansion is really related to the matter of the Sea Dragon, and the Japanese spies he killed can now be basically determined to be Ono Jiro's subordinates.
Geng Chaozhong bowed his head slightly and said to He Chunhui:
"Good job, this news is still a little valuable, don't think that you have to find the contact line of the Japanese to be successful, just write down the places they have been one by one, and then mark the number of times on the map, as long as you persevere, you will always find clues."
Several people nodded blankly, as if they didn't understand what Geng Chaozhong meant.
Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that it is now the Republic of China, and these men from the rivers and lakes have not learned any skills such as intelligence analysis, but they are just mechanically hiding and stalking, and they have not yet realized the significance of route analysis and overlap point analysis.
After a slight pause, Geng Chaozhong felt that it was necessary to teach these people some analytical skills, otherwise the efficiency of such a blind man touching an elephant would be too low!
Geng Chaozhong stood up, turned around and took out a map from the drawer behind his back - this was a map of the city issued by the Party Affairs Investigation Department to each action team, obtained from the Germans, and the level of drawing was very high, far higher than that of any Chinese city map of the same period.
However, this map also has a huge drawback, that is, there is less neighborhood change after 14 years, but in general, the Japanese did not change much to the basic layout of the island castle, but only expanded along the north side, and this map is still enough for now.
Of course, the best thing is to get the map drawn by the Japanese, but the Japanese are very meticulous, and after the Republic of China recovered Qingdao, they were not able to get anything useful from the Japanese.
Geng Chaozhong spread the map on the table, asked a few people to come around, and said:
"You should buy a few more copies of this map, and I will teach you some basic intelligence analysis skills."
In fact, Geng Chaozhong's so-called intelligence analysis skills were a common thing in later generations, and every military academy has a special military intelligence course, which is divided into sub-disciplines such as military reconnaissance, military intelligence collation, military meteorological intelligence, and military intelligence automation theory according to the scope of application.
Although Geng Chaozhong's grades in the military academy were average, in terms of this basic knowledge, for this era, whether systematic and forward-looking, it is far more than a century of existence!
"First of all, we must be clear that we have limited manpower, and it is difficult to do one by one, but as long as we keep an eye on a person every time, record the length of his travel route and stopping places, and then mark them on the map, over time, these points and lines will produce some overlap and convergence places, and these places are most likely the joint points or contact points of the other party. You see. ”
Geng Chaozhong drew a few lines and points on the map with a pen, and marked a few numbers on the points.
"This is the route and stopping point of the tracked object," Geng Chaozhong then drew a few more points and lines, "This is another one." ”
"You know, their contact points are fixed for a period of time, no matter who they send out to connect, the final destination will be one of these points, so we keep drawing lines and statistics, and eventually there will be aggregation points, and these aggregation points are likely to be the contact points of the other party, and then we are focusing on the defense of the contact points, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Several people nodded frequently when they listened, and their eyes changed significantly when they raised their heads to see Geng Chaozhong - everyone used to have superficial respect for Geng Chaozhong because of his position, but as soon as these few words were said, everyone understood that this captain was by no means in vain!
