At three o'clock in the morning, Company Commander Xu led the team to break through in batches, and half an hour later, they arrived in the Japanese theater, and more than ten minutes later, an encounter occurred. While resisting, the Japanese puppet defenders called the headquarters to report and ask for reinforcements.

Heiichiro Ono, who had been working overtime all night, had just received a telegram from Liu Weiping, Ni Xin's duty secretary half an hour ago, he picked up the two telegrams and looked at them again, and said in his heart that this should be part of the recruits who were ordered to go to the Korean Deqin Department, and ordered the secretary: "Call back: No reinforcements are needed, it is best to intercept them, and if you can't help it, let these recruits go." ”

At eight o'clock in the morning of the 4th, Heiichiro Ono received two more telegrams, and he asked, "When will the troops of the encirclement and suppression leave?" ”

The secretary replied: "The two integrated regiments of the PARA will depart separately from the garrison in two hours, and the brigade of the Imperial Army with you will depart at twelve o'clock at noon. ”

"Director Ni should still be at No. 76, right? I ordered him to come to me. ”

"Director Ni is scheduled to lead the team to set off this afternoon, so I'll call him."

Half an hour later, Ni Xin came by order, and Ono Heiichiro said: "If you look at these two telegrams, the local garrison said that it was not one or two groups of people who set out from the military base area, and the number of people in each group was more than expected, and they added up to about two or three hundred people. ”

After reading it, Ni Xin was also puzzled: "It's not quite right, this batch of recruits was trained by the military commander for Han Deqin's department, and the number of them will not be very large, it is estimated that it is some gendarmerie common sense, the most preliminary agent technology, etc., and there will not be many people in this area that Han Deqin's department needs." ”

"Is Jia Hao's group still in the military base area?"

"It is also strange that the subordinates could not contact them: yesterday they arrived in the Japanese war zone, and if they had stayed there, it would have been impossible not to be contacted; If you return to the military command base area, it is to continue to collect intelligence, why don't you take the initiative to contact me? Could it be that something is wrong? ”

Heiichiro Ono suddenly said, "Something's wrong?" Is it possible that this happened, so what happened before the telegram was sent? Or did it come later? ”

Ni Xin thought thoughtfully: "If it was before, then that telegram was fake and was used by Liu Zezhi to mislead us, but the content of that telegram can be mutually corroborated with the content of the telegram we intercepted and sent to the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau in the name of Liu Zezhi." Don't...... Liu Zezhi's telegram to the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau is also fake? ”

"Misleading...... There has to be a purpose, right? It won't be a general purpose yet. ”

Ni Xin replied: "My subordinates are not sure...... General, the encirclement and suppression operation is on the verge of being launched, and his subordinates set off ahead of schedule, and after arriving at the base areas on the outskirts of the military command, they contacted the various temporary action groups that had arrived in advance to see if they could find out. ”

"Okay, let's go."

In the military command base area, everything is as usual, and at the entrance of the office compound, as on weekdays, two guards stand guard, and people come and go from time to time. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ni Xin led the team to one of the two encirclement and suppression headquarters secretly set up on the periphery of the military command base area, Wu Bin, who received the order in advance, was already waiting, and listened to his report, Ni Xin did not find a flaw, and there was no technical person around, so he had to say: "You have met Qi Dong and Jia Hao, describe their appearance." ”

"Yes, Qi Dong is in his twenties, with a long face, a flat head, medium height, and big eyes; Jia Hao's right arm was injured, he was also in his twenties, with a long face, a split head, thin and tall, thick lips, and a dark complexion. ”

"Are you sure the two of them are only in their twenties? Is there anyone else on the fishing boat you are reporting to? ”

"Someone else? The subordinates didn't pay attention, whether they were in their twenties, and they weren't sure, the ...... of the big night It's certainly not that old. Director Ni, his subordinates carefully looked at their documents, and there was no problem. One of the brothers at the patrol station also checked his documents, didn't you also receive a telegram? ”

Not long after Wu Bin joined No. 76, it was not easy to say this, and Ni Xin couldn't be harsh. No. 76 is not a peripheral person, there are also more than a thousand people, these two people are arranged by He Qixin, he has not seen them, only looked at the files, the age of the two people is around thirty, and it cannot be verified for a while.

At ten o'clock, Heiichiro Ono arrived at the headquarters two hours ahead of schedule with Asano and others, and Ni Xinying stepped forward and said, "General, why did you come so early?" ”

Ono Heiichiro's face was solemn: "I received a telegram, which was sent by the internal line of Kagesa-kun in Han's Deqin Department, take a look." ”

Ni Xin's impression of this insider was not good, because he misjudged, and reported that the military commander gave Pan Ganchen's mistress, Ms. Liang, ten gold bars, which aggravated the suspicion of Pan Ganchen, resulting in Pan Ganchen being forcibly stranded in Nanjing, and Su Dongran's troops successfully mutinied. He took the telegram and read it, and said, "How did this person know that the number of people who suspected that the military command base had arrived at Han Deqin's headquarters was as high as nearly 1,000?" The last time you and General Kagesa misjudged this person, I have always wondered if the military commander already knew the identity of this person, and left him to pass on false information to us. ”

"There is also this possibility, but there is another possibility: the military commander only suspects that Han Deqin's department has our inside line, but he doesn't know who it is."

Ni Xin smiled bitterly: "But the consequences of the two situations are the same: the military commander deliberately leaked false information. ”

"What is the purpose of the military commanders misleading us about their large-scale transfer?"

Ni Xin straightened his thoughts: "Yes, what is the purpose?" General, is there such a possibility: Liu Zezhi concludes that we will launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression? So...... In other words, the information provided by General Kagesa's insider this time was accurate? ”

"Liu Zezhi? Does he have the ability? ”

"The current three leaders of the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command, Zhou Chengbin is an all-rounder, Zhang Chi is fierce, Liu Zezhi is cunning, and his subordinates feel more and more powerless to deal with Liu Zezhi."

"In any case, the encirclement that began in five hours cannot be canceled, and then everything will be clear. As pointed out by the imperial army, the military commanders were powerless to resist; Even if the military forces of the military commanders were transferred ahead of schedule, we would have recovered this base area, which was like a fish in the throat. ”

The fierce battle was imminent, Ni Xin could not shake the morale of the army, and replied: "What the general said is that it is the strength that determines the outcome of the war, and the imperial army is encircled and suppressed on a large scale, and the lost territory is in front of you." ”

"The encirclement and suppression troops are about to be in place, I want to move with the team, and you lead the team to do it according to the original plan."

"Yes, take care, General."

At three o'clock in the morning of the 5th, the large-scale encirclement and suppression of the officers' base areas by the Japanese puppets officially began! Soon, several commanders who participated in the encirclement and suppression felt that something was wrong: the base area was completely empty! There was no resistance, and half an hour later, the Japanese troops in the three-way encirclement and suppression first attacked the belly of the military command base area and entered the office compound of the Provisional Military Management Committee.

Asano led the team from Heiichiro Ono, who was blue-faced, into the compound, which was empty and without any lights. Asano asked with one click: "General, do you want to start a comprehensive search immediately?" ”

Heiichiro Ono nodded, and the agents and soldiers who came with him searched one by one.

Asano led someone to personally search the main house in the front yard, and soon, the lights were lit in the room, and ten minutes later, Asano came to report to Ono Heiichiro, who was standing in the courtyard with a cold face: "General, the search is complete, and there is nothing abnormal." The room on the left is also slightly better equipped, it seems to be the office of the person in charge of the military command base area, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, please come into the room. ”

Ono Heiichiro didn't answer, and Asano said with one click: "General, what the Imperial Army is pointing to, although the military commander is powerless to fight, it can't be so vulnerable...... Does the subordinate mean that the military commander knew the news in advance and ran away? ”

Heiichiro Ono still didn't say anything, and walked straight into the room. Someone else came in and reported: "General, the treasury is also empty, and there are no personnel. ”

Asano persuaded with one click: "General, no matter what, the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command has lost its base and will ...... in the future."

Heiichiro Ono interrupted Asano's words: "The living force of the military command is preserved, and the sabotage actions against the military targets of the imperial army in the Songhu area will inevitably become more and more intense. If reinforcements are not carried out as originally planned, the predicament of the imperial army in Burma ......"

Asano didn't think so: "The general is too elevated to the military commanders and bandits, even if the troops are sent to reinforce Burma, not to mention the military commanders, what can the Chongqing Han Deqin Department do?" If you borrow their courage, you don't dare to provoke a full-scale war in Songhu! ”

Heiichiro Ono sighed, and before he could speak again, the other two encirclement troops also arrived. Heiichiro Ono said: "It is the fault of the intelligence department that the military commander detected the encirclement and suppression plan in advance and retreated. Asano-kun, please let the others in, and I will lead the report to General Okamura and ask for punishment. There's no need to set up an ambush on the periphery, so let's order Director Ni to lead the team over. ”

An hour later, Ni Xin arrived. Asano was holding a telegram and reporting to Heiichiro Ono: "General, a telegram from Yu Siwen." ”

After reading it, Ono Heiichiro's face softened slightly, and he said to Ni Xin: "Yu Siwence is anti-Han Deqin as the division commander, and there has been an incident, but unfortunately not the whole division participated, and the telegram said that most of the troops directly under the division and an infantry regiment under its jurisdiction participated in the mutiny. ”

At five o'clock in the morning, at the station of the guard regiment of Han Deqin's minister's department, Lin Shirong and Company Commander Xu saw Liu Zezhi, and Lin Shirong said: "Commissioner Liu, you are here!" Everyone has been worried about you, and Chief Han has also asked twice. ”

Company Commander Xu reported: "I just received a telegram from Commander Han: The Japanese puppets launched a three-way attack on the base area two hours ago. If it weren't for you, the whole army would have been destroyed. After this incident, I have great admiration for you, Commissioner Liu. ”

"Xu Lian Chang said seriously, I am an agent, and I am engaged in intelligence, and I only have this ability. It is up to you to arrange the troops and fight in battle. What about casualties in the breakout? ”

"One person was killed, five were wounded, two of them were seriously wounded, and the wounded and bodies were brought back."

"Where are Deputy Director Zhang and Sun Dongsheng?"

"Deputy Director Zhang and Team Leader Sun arrived earlier than us, and they were immediately admitted to the military hospital for treatment after arriving. Deputy Director Zhang's condition was fine, but Team Leader Sun's injuries worsened during the transfer, and the accompanying hygienists dealt with it, and the doctor also did an examination after being admitted to the hospital, saying that there was no danger to life for the time being. Are you going to meet them? ”

Liu Zezhi said again: "I can't spare time, please greet me and ask them to recuperate with peace of mind." Lao Lin, we have to stay in Chief Han's jurisdiction for a while, and how to arrange it in the future will have to wait for Director Zhou's order. In the name of the Shanghai Branch of the Military Command, you petition Commander Han for approval. You are also responsible for the placement of the wounded and other personnel who will be transferred with them. When Deputy Director Zhang can be put into work, you will leave and return to Shanghai to continue to assist Feng Gensheng. ”

Lin Shirong replied: "No problem - I arranged?" Shouldn't you be the one who came forward? ”

"I'm going to rush back to Nanjing immediately."

"In such a hurry?"

Liu Zezhi said with a wry smile: "If I abandon the base area without asking for instructions, the bureau headquarters will definitely investigate the responsibility, and all I can do is to make meritorious service for my crimes." Prepare the radio station, and I want to send a telegram to the bureau headquarters and Director Zhou. "The Flying Eagle plan has not yet succeeded, and it was all lost to Ge Jiapeng and others, and he couldn't rest assured.
