"Mr. Yusupov, Commander Ueda has a very important task for you. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At the Kwantung Army headquarters, Russian soldier Anatoly Yusupov was meeting with Kwantung Army staff officer Masanobu Tsuji and special high school officer Jun Yamaguchi.

"Taijun, what task? As long as I can deal with the Bolsheviks, I will accept it. Yusupov replied without hesitation, in not very fluent Chinese.

Jun Yamaguchi took out a photo of Keiko Nakajima, handed it to Yusupov, and instructed in Chinese with a Japanese accent: "You have to take a few Russian troops to infiltrate the Soviet army, rescue this young lady, and find out the internal intelligence of the Soviet army by the way." ”

"How do you sneak in?" Do you have to ask such a simple question? Sneak in in a Soviet military uniform.

It's easy to get in, but how do you avoid being suspicious of people when you get in? That's the biggest problem. First of all, they had to forge fake Soviet military documents, and they had to find a suitable reason to sneak in. Otherwise, it would be difficult not to be suspicious of the Soviet army if a few people with fresh faces rashly appeared in the barracks.

"You have to change into Soviet uniforms, take fake Soviet officer papers, and blend into the ranks of the replenishers. As a supplementary soldier, he infiltrated the Soviet military camp, found out where Miss Keiko Nakajima was being held, and rescued her. After the rescue operation is completed, you must leave at least three people inside the Soviet army to spy on the enemy's intelligence. ”

Mixing in as a supplementary soldier is indeed a viable approach. At that time, information technology was not well developed, and there were no computers or networks, so it took a lot of effort to investigate fake identities and verify the authenticity of high-quality documents. Few people would deliberately investigate the documents and identity of an ordinary soldier, and there was no relevant spot check work in the army.

Under such circumstances, Yusupov would be able to easily infiltrate the Soviet army and carry out the tasks assigned to him by little Japan. However, another question arises, how to get in touch?

If you infiltrate the Soviet Union or Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, you can also have Japanese diplomats in the Soviet Union/Mongolia in charge of liaison. But this time, the place where Yusupov was going to sneak was in the Soviet barracks in the Mongolian desert.

There, there were no Japanese diplomats at all. In order to avoid suspicion, they were not allowed to bring radio stations and other communication equipment into the room, as they could easily be spotted. So what to do?

"How do we get in touch with your army?" Yusupov also thought about this problem.

The Japanese have not thought of a good way to do this. "After you infiltrate the Soviet army, find a way to get a radio station and contact us." Jun Yamaguchi flipped Keiko Nakajima's photograph with the frequency of Japanese communications written on the back of the photo.

Yusupov took the photo of the beauty and said in Chinese with a Russian accent: "Please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task." The Japanese government raised us to this day in order to put us to good use against the hateful Bolsheviks, to avenge our families and General Kolchak! It seems that now is the time to repay your country! ”

After the meeting, Yusupov immediately returned to the barracks, selected a few "elites", changed into Soviet uniforms, brought the required high-quality documents and items, and then secretly and in his own way, ran to the west bank of the Harakha River.

However, what the Japanese never expected was that Manturov had already made preparations.

Before the crossing, he, who had a little study of Soviet history, had long known about the existence of the "Russian Army", a "special forces".

In order to prevent these white-haired men from infiltrating the Soviet army, Manturov issued two orders.

First, he ordered all units of the Soviet Red Army and the Mongolian People's Army to utter a specific joint code when encountered, and in case the Soviets could not say it, the Mongols had the right to shoot at the "Soviet Army" unless they were willing to lay down their weapons. In this way, it has avoided the situation in which the "Russian army" pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger and eats the Mongolian army.

Second, he also instructed the Soviet Union through the People's Commissariat of Defense and the Military Districts to make a special mark in pencil on their military documents before they went to fight in Mongolia. When the 57th Army checked the documents, they knew at a glance whether it was a Japanese spy or not.

The Japanese side was completely unaware of Manturov's counter-espionage policy, did not add the marks Manturov had requested to the forged documents of Yusupov and others, and had never heard of the joint code.

As a result, when they met the Soviet Red Army, the stuffing was quickly revealed.

In order to avoid arousing local suspicion, Manturov once ordered the troops to treat them as ordinary soldiers if they found troops with no marks on their documents and did not know how to connect with codes, and to inform the command of the situation and wait for instructions from the command.

Therefore, Yusupov and others "passed" the inspection, "successfully" infiltrated the Soviet barracks, and were arranged to "serve" in the 36th Motorized Rifle Division without any suspicion at all.

However, from the moment they walked into the barracks, they were already being targeted. They are not trained in professional intelligence and espionage, and they are not aware of the existence of these threats.

On the other side, the guards in charge of the gatekeeping quickly reported the situation of Yusupov and his men to the political commissar Manturov, not the army commander Fekalenko. Because although Fekarenko was nominally the head of the army group, after Manturov arrived, he basically lost his command, just a rubber stamp, and Manturov was in charge of affairs inside and outside the barracks.

It was not until June 8, when Fekarenko was dismissed from his post and the future Marshal of Victory Zhukov became the commander of the 57th Special Army, that Manturov completely relinquished his command, and the army was completely handed over to Zhukov, a famous general.

In the command, the guards truthfully reported the situation to Manturov. "Comrade Military Commissar, we have found that several of the reinforcement soldiers do not have the marks you requested on their documents, and they do not understand our joint code, and they suspect that they are spies sent by the Japanese side."

When Manturov heard the news, he was not surprised. Ever since the devil suffered his first defeat, Manturov had expected that the Japanese would send Russian soldiers into the Soviet barracks to spy on intelligence. Otherwise, he would not have given the order to make a mark.

"Where are they now? What is your name? ”

"They were placed in the barracks you designated, the one that took in the suspects, and we were watching them. There were six of them, the first one was called Anatoly Anatolyevich Yusupov, and the rest were called ......"

"Give them work first, and at the same time monitor them closely. Do not let any outsiders have access to them, and do not give them any chance of approaching Command. "Manturov gave instructions to deal with the White Russian spies.

"Yes! So what kind of work should they be assigned to? ”

"Tell them to guard the prisoner of war camp and send someone to observe them to see if there are any abnormal interactions between them and the prisoners of war. If they find out, they will send people to follow them and arrest them before they contact the Japanese side. ”

"Yes!"

Manturov did not intend to wipe out all the spies at once, which would not test the Soviet army's anti-infiltration capabilities and find it difficult to find strong evidence to prove their identity as spies.

The most important thing is that if these spies are caught in the first place, they may not be able to confess to other sleepers, and it is difficult to know their true intentions, because they have no signs of action, it is difficult to catch them, and it is difficult to collect enough evidence to prove the purpose of their actions, their true identities and other information.

In this way, these spies can tell the "intelligence" they have made up, so as to fool the Soviet army and disrupt the strategic deployment of the Soviet army. And whether the Soviet side has any evidence in their hands to prove that what they said is true.
