Chapter 17: The Hidden Spike
December 19, 1938 Shanghai Tang, Shanghai Cafe
Tang Yi leaned down on the chair without any sitting posture, smoking a cigarette while looking at the ceiling boredly, and the person who joined the joint waited for a long time to arrive in the room.
The man who came in had shiny oily hair, elegant gold-rimmed glasses, and a beige crisp suit.
He walked to the chair opposite Tang Yi in three or two steps and sat down unceremoniously, his face filled with a charming confidence.
I saw him Erlang's legs, take out a box of beauty brand cigarettes from the pocket in his suit, take out two lightly, and reach out and hand them to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi took out a stick and thought to himself, "This kid is pretending to be quite similar!" ”
The man lit a cigarette with a match, took a deep breath of the cigarette, and exhaled a thick smoke, and his voice slowly came along with the smoke, "Hello, contemptible people become South China." With that, he stretched out a hand.
Tang Yi didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and shook it with him.
"Presumably you are the young owner of Cheng Ji in Guangzhou?" Then Tang Yi asked with a smile.
Cheng Huanan nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Tang Yi took a closer look and felt that this Cheng Nanhua had the temperament of a rich son.
Judging from the way he dresses, behaves, and talks, this Cheng Nanhua does look like a rich kid, which makes Tang Yi scratch his head a little puzzled, generally speaking, the identity of the secret nail is fake, but this Cheng Huanan looks like the real one.
Generally speaking, there are generally two kinds of spies behind enemy lines, one is Ming Ding, just like Tang Yi, Tang Chaoyuan and the late Qiao Xiping, who are often people who have a certain identity or position within the enemy through natural identity or later chance.
There is either a deliberate arrangement within the organization for past or later development, and its identity is often known to one or more people.
There is no doubt that the risk of one-line contact is very small, but if the upline encounters an accident, it can be said that it has completely lost contact with the organization, even if you cry and shout to pass the information to the organization, the organization will not want it.
The most typical is the group of spies who had nowhere to return after the crash of Dai Li's plane, and their fate can be described as quite miserable, and most of them were punished for treason.
Most of the people know that there is a small group that works for them, and this kind of spy is often the most destructive, because not only can they steal intelligence, but they can also cooperate with the armed forces in skirmishes behind enemy lines, but they are often the most risky! The risk of exposure is the greatest!
The other is the hidden nail, just like Cheng Nanhua in front of him, and the "blind fish" under the pseudonym Tong Qinli, and then there is Feng Yi who was lurking in Chongqing before.
This kind of secret nail often has no relationship with the enemy, all the identities and names are fake, and there is only one real thing on the body, that is, the code name.
They are often small bases behind enemy lines, often used to help divert targets, transport small quantities of supplies, and help raise funds for the organization, or are used in emergency situations to assist in assassinations or create chaos.
Or as a member of the Mingding team, Mingding will assist Mingding's work to a certain extent, or urgently help Mingnail contact the organization.
There is no distinction between the two, there is only a difference in the way of working.
And this Cheng Nanhua made Tang Yi a little confused, judging from Tang Yi's feelings, this Cheng Huanan's appearance does not look like pretending, but like a rich child cultivated since childhood.
Cheng Nanhua obviously saw Tang Yi's confusion, but he didn't explain it, just smiled and said: "Before I came to Shanghai Tang, I heard that although Shanghai Tang was occupied by the Japanese, it was still prosperous, and this is really true. ”
Cheng Nanhua was talking, but his fingers kept tapping the password on the table, and Tang Yi calmed down and translated.
"Because Chai Jinchun's backlash has caused great damage, Shangfeng has learned a lesson, and the hurricane will have a special contact person in the future, and the hurricane team will no longer contact any military commanders in Shanghai from now on."
Tang Yi nodded while translating and said, "As long as the concession is still there, Shanghai Tang will still be a paradise." ”
Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi asked again: "Brother Cheng really looks like a rich son." ”
Cheng Huanan waved his hand noncommittally and didn't say much, and Tang Yi didn't ask any more when he saw this.
Cheng Huanan looked around and asked if it was safe here.
Tang Yi nodded and said, "Brother Cheng, don't worry, it's safe here." ”
"Is there any news of Wang Zhaoming recently?" Cheng Huanan lowered his voice and asked bluntly.
Tang Yi nodded when he heard this: "I just received reliable news yesterday that Wang Zhaoming will arrive at Hongqiao Airport at eight o'clock in the morning of the 21st. ”
Cheng Huanan's expression instantly straightened, sat up and asked, "How did the Japanese arrange it?" ”
"At that time, Tanaka's staff officer, Matsushita Shinnosuke, will lead two pairs of Japanese contingents to block the Hongqiao Airport and prohibit all personnel from entering and leaving, and the Police Headquarters will block all roads from the Hongqiao Airport to the Military Police Headquarters on the first night."
Tang Yi took a puff of his cigarette after speaking, and after relieving his breath, he continued: "The Investigation Department will also monitor the commanding heights of the streets from the airport to the gendarmerie headquarters the night before, as well as any suspicious persons. ”
Cheng Nanhua's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Tang Yi nodded too lazy to answer.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi took out a drawing from his arms and handed it to Cheng Nanhua and said: "This is a safe place prepared by me in advance, I will personally arrange these places when the time comes, and you let the people of the Hurricane team hide here." ”
Cheng Nanhua nodded solemnly, stretched out his hands to take the drawings and looked at them carefully for a long time, then took out a match and lit the drawings.
I saw that he carefully put the lit drawings in his hand into the ashtray at hand, and as the drawings burned to ashes, Cheng Nanhua slowly nodded and said seriously: "It's really hard for you." ”
Tang Yi waved his hand and asked with a little curiosity, "Do you remember it clearly?" ”
Cheng Nanhua looked at the drawings that were burned to ashes, nodded and did not speak.
Tang Yi looked at Cheng Nanhua seriously for a while when he heard this, and felt more and more that he was not simple, not like a person who came out of the ordinary military training class, and he became more and more interested in him in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Nanhua said: "In the future, I will continue to lurk in the beach and remain silent, unless there is an important task, I will not take the initiative to contact you, Boss Dai has a message for me to bring to you, please be sure to put your own safety first, as long as you can safely lurk in the Japanese puppet government, your role will be irreplaceable." ”
Tang Yi was obviously not very interested in Boss Dai's words, he waved his hand a little gloomily and said, "As long as we can win, nothing else matters to me." ”
Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi sat up straight, and said solemnly: "I hope this assassination can be successful." ”
"Please rest assured, we have been preparing for a long time this time, and once we make a move, we will definitely hit with one blow!"
