Chongqing, October 13, 1938

As early as two days ago, Deng Zhenting handed over the information obtained by "Feng" to Boss Dai, and after Boss Dai got the information, he handed it over to Chang Kaishen like a treasure.

At this time, after the fall of Guangzhou in Qingdao, Shanghai and other places, it became the most important port in China, but compared to its importance, the defense was very lax, and half of the Cantonese army was actually transferred to participate in the Battle of Wuhan!

When Chang Kaishen first got the information, he didn't believe that the Japanese army was really going to attack Guangzhou, and just a few days ago, Wu Tiecheng, a high-ranking official in Guangdong, received a little news and made a report to Chongqing, but Chang Kaishen actually thought that this was "fake" information deliberately created by the Japanese!

Because Chang Kaishen believed at this time that after the victory at Wanjialing, the Japanese army was no longer able to deploy troops to attack Guangzhou in the Battle of Wuhan, which was false news from the Japanese side, and the purpose was to allow the national army to draw troops from the Wuhan battlefield to support Guangdong!

As a result, Chang Kaishen didn't increase his troops, and even sent a report asking Yu Hanmou, the highest military and political chief in Wuhan, to transfer another division to the Wuhan battlefield!

After receiving the information presented by Dai Li in person, Chang Kaishen was shocked when he saw it! Judging from the information reported by the "front", the Japanese army has thoroughly arranged the attack time and attack route!

However, the indecisive Chang Kaishen still hesitated for a day before deciding to trust this information, and telegraphed Yu Hanmou to send him the entire Japanese landing site and march route, and asked Yu Hanmou to immediately do a good job of fortifications, and immediately transferred four divisions from the Wuhan battlefield to Guangzhou immediately!

Just as the intelligence stolen by "Feng", on the evening of October 14, 1938, more than 70,000 Japanese troops and 27,000 horses successfully landed in Daya Bay, Guangzhou, all the way like a bamboo.

Although there was information in advance to ensure that there were few soldiers, and Yu Hanmou had no way to build any powerful fortifications in just two days after receiving the information.

Therefore, the front-line battlefield was defeated, and the Japanese army had already attacked the suburbs of Guangzhou on the 24th.

Yu Hanmou's 12th Army was defeated by the Japanese in just 10 days, so Yu Hanmou ordered the defenders of Guangzhou to retreat, and Guangzhou fell on the afternoon of the 24th.

In the face of this situation, Chang Kaishen learned the lesson of the defense of Nanjing, not to be a lonely city, and he was ready to evacuate Wuhan in advance, so he abandoned Wuhan on October 28!

The Japanese army occupied Wuchang and Hankou on the 28th. On the 30th, Hanyang was occupied, and the battle for the defense of Wuhan came to an end.

At this time, Tang Yi, who was far away in Shanghai, trembled with anger after seeing the Japanese army capture "Hanyang" and "Wuhan", he did not expect that after he stole such important military information, the national army actually suffered such a big defeat on the frontal battlefield, which made him feel a little worthless for the dead "red carp"!

Yes, Qiao Xiping was publicly executed on the 14th, on suspicion of colluding with the Communist Party, because no matter how much he was punished, Qiao Xiping still did not say a word, and the entire investigation department had no way to take him, so he had to be charged with this crime.

After Zhou Mingrui reported the situation to Tanaka Daisa, Tanaka Daisa, who was busy mobilizing materials to help the battle of Guangzhou, had no time to deal with it at all, or the Panasonic staff officer casually approved it and sent an execution order.

Later, Tang Yi did not take antibiotics in time because of the injury he suffered in the manor that night, which led to the infection of the wound, so he and Zhou Mingrui took sick leave, and did not officially return to work until the last two days.

And just two days after Tang Yi went to work, the investigation department received a telegram from Chongqing!

This morning, before Tang Yi had time to eat the breakfast prepared by Xiang Jie, Zhou Mingrui's secretary Ah Qi intercepted Tang Yi on the first floor of the office building.

"Deputy Director Tang, Director Zhou invites you to the office, I have something important to tell you." Aqi said respectfully.

After Qiao Xiping was executed, the Military Police Command sent a commendation order to commend Tang Yi for his loyalty and bravery to the government, and sent a medal, and now the people in the entire department are obedient to Tang Yi, except for Gu Junqiao, of course.

Gu Junqiao didn't know what's wrong, he had been pestering Tang Yi so much recently, Tang Yi couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to, so that the two of them had been more vocal recently.

"Okay, I see." Tang Yi nodded and said to Azie.

As soon as he entered the door, Tang Yi leisurely lit a cigarette, looked at Zhou Mingrui and said with a smile: "My Director Zhou, how did you think of calling me early in the morning today!" Last time you said you were going to invite me to your house for dinner, but I haven't eaten yet! ”

Zhou Mingrui also laughed and said: "It's natural to call you here, you asked me for so long before, and you stayed in the Tang Mansion all day!" Where am I going to treat you to dinner? ”

"Isn't that recuperation...... Tang Yi said curtly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Mingrui said with a straight expression: "The nail sent to Chongqing last time sent a telegram. ”

"Huh?" Tang Yi pretended to be stunned and replied.

"It's Guan Zhi Feng Yi and them!" Zhou Mingrui said.

Tang Yi suddenly realized: "It turned out to be them, I thought that the front line is now a pot of porridge, and they may still be halfway there." ”

Zhou Mingrui said: "Now that they have arrived in Chongqing, the whole of Chongqing is also in great chaos, with wounded soldiers, students and teachers evacuated from Wuhan, and all kinds of industrial and commercial personnel, and the military commanders are now too busy to take care of themselves. ”

Tang Yi scolded the Chongqing side again in his heart, he had sent the information to the four nails sent by the Investigation Department this time, and now he actually sent a telegram to the four of them to gain a firm foothold in Chongqing, which also proves that now these four people have changed their appearances, and the previous information is useless.

In fact, this can't be completely blamed on the military commanders in Chongqing, as Zhou Mingrui said, the current Chongqing is also a mess, all kinds of people and horses are mixed together, and the Chongqing military commanders have no extra time to take care of these four small miscellaneous fish.

"What did they say in the telegram?" Tang Yi asked.

Zhou Mingrui said in a deep voice: "Because of the war, they gave up their identity as tea merchants arranged in the department, and now they are all small businessmen who used to do small business in Wuhan. ”

"Already solid?" Tang Yi asked.

"Yes, they said in the telegram that everything was settled, and now they are lurking on the spot, waiting to wake up at any time."

After Zhou Mingrui finished speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and then said to Tang Yi: "This is not in a hurry in advance, but I owe you the meal and I will make it up to you tonight, my wife and I are waiting for you at home tonight, by the way, you're welcome, I have already helped you notify Gu Junqiao and ask her to be your female companion!" ”

"Zhou Mingrui, your uncle!"
