Chapter 52: Chongqing

On 25 June, a junior primary school with only three grades and four houses in a noisy alley had no more than 100 students, and there were only three teachers, Guo Xuan, alias Ying Yaozu, who had been a substitute Chinese language teacher here for more than half a month. He taught during the day and spent his evenings in a nearby three-story attic of just a few square meters. In the troubled times, as an old scholar in a small city who fled to Shanghai to avoid the war, but was separated from his family and had to live here, it was not easy to find such a barely able to make ends meet.

At midnight on this day, Guo Xuan received a secret telegram from Chongqing Mao Renfeng transferred by Yang Shuang, sternly urging him to inquire about the progress of the plan. He and the Shanghai station he led must go all out to find out this spy. He was also very dissatisfied with the delay in the preliminary work, and ordered him to make progress within half a month, otherwise he would be subject to military justice.

Guo Xuan thought about it again and again, Liu Zezhi is different from himself, surviving in the demon cave, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed. What's more, this time to rescue Zhou Chengbin, get rid of Li Minghua with a knife, and Liu Zezhi made a big mistake and impulsively killed people, it is a great luck that this series of incidents can be involved in danger. There must be no traces of wiping clean, threatening Liu Zezhi's safety at all times. Mangspur's plan, Liu Zezhi must have done his best, urging again, maybe it will make him mess up and make a big mistake.

For Mao Renfeng, the chief, Guo Xuan, who has no eyes, has a lot of slander, which is why he first saw Liu Zezhi, who was Mao Renfeng's secretary at the time, indiscriminately, and gave him a big nail to touch on the spot. For Liu Zezhi, he is also a little sick...... However, Guo Xuan knows very well that the country has suffered such a great disaster, and this war is not a war for Guo Xuan alone, personal joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and in the face of national righteousness, he must give way.

The headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau is so urgently urging to find out this Japanese spy, there must be a last resort, what should I do? In the end, Guo Xuan, who had not slept all night, decided to take the risk himself, and the only bargaining chip in his hand was his own life.

At the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau, the smoke of the Battle of Zaoyi has dissipated for more than a month, and the aftermath of General Zhang Zizhong's death on the battlefield, which shook all walks of life, has gradually subsided. The predicament faced by Dai Li, Mao Renfeng and other high-level military commanders is becoming more and more unavoidable. In the Battle of Zaoyi, where China and Japan invested heavy troops, although the Chinese soldiers resisted stubbornly and fought bloodily, they still suffered 110,000 casualties, including 37,000 killed, and the fall of Zaoyang in Yichang.

When the war was extinguished, a piece of information was placed on the desk of the top military commander of the Chinese side: the secret code of General Zhang Zizhong's communication with Chongqing was actually deciphered by Japanese spies before the war, causing the Chinese side to pay a heavy price. After a strict investigation, the biggest suspect in leaking secrets was actually the military intelligence agency that accompanied the army. And other information related to the victory or defeat of the war, such as the commander, number, departure time, and supply status of the troops, has also been leaked, so how can the military command be embarrassed? If we can't find out in the quickest possible time the Japanese spy intelligence network lurking in the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau and other military and political organs, how can we deal with the soldiers who died at the front? Why should the supreme governor be reprimanded? Dai Li, furious, issued a stern order: order all relevant organs such as the Shanghai Station, Nanjing Station, Wuhan Working Group, and Tokyo Station of the Military Command to assist the headquarters in detecting this great danger at any cost! This is the plan of the emergency Cheng DΓΉ to escalate again and again, this spy network buried in the capital will not be removed, and Dai Li's back is like a mang.

Mao Renfeng initially accepted the task of finding the Japanese spy South Pole Star, but because there was an undercover agent in the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau who had access to core secrets, this matter was not trivial, and the leak had been discovered in the Battle of Zaoyi, so it had to be investigated. Who would have thought that things would be even stricter than expected, and leaks happened again and again. In Chongqing, there is actually a Japanese spy network whose tentacles have extended to various organs and all walks of life. After some analysis, Mao Renfeng came to a conclusion: since even Li Shiqun only knows about the existence of the Antarctic Star, but does not know who this person is, it can be seen that the position of the Antarctic Star in the entire Japanese spy network is very important. If this person can be found, he can destroy the entire spy network, pull out this thorn, and save the face of the military commander. This is currently the most effective and most likely shortcut. Therefore, Mao Renfeng ignored the risk that the Shanghai station might suffer huge losses, and repeatedly ordered and urged. On the other hand, in Chongqing, he did not let go of any clues, and set up many people to find and detect.

The secretary sent a secret telegram from Zhou Chengbin, and learned that Zhou Chengbin would need at least half a month to recuperate before returning to Shanghai, Mao Renfeng immediately decided to send a special commissioner to infiltrate Shanghai to carry out the stabbing plan. It's not that he has doubts about Guo Xuan's ability, but ...... Guo Xuan has always had a lot of complaints about himself, a chief, and he doesn't know it. It's just that when the country is in crisis, talents are rare, and he has to be tolerant again and again for the sake of the country.

Sun Wenkai, colonel intelligence commissioner of the Second Intelligence Department of the Military Command, a professional soldier in his early forties, born in Huangpu, participated in the civil war for ten years, worked in the front line, rose from second lieutenant platoon commander all the way to lieutenant colonel regimental deputy, a native of Jiangshan, a fellow countryman of Dai Li and Mao Renfeng, was recruited by Dai Li into the military command five years ago, and has been ordered to carry out various temporary emergency tasks, known as the "firefighter" of the military command. He was ordered to come, gave a standard military salute, and stood by for duty. Mao Renfeng asked, "Is the team to Shanghai organized?" ”

"Back to Mr. Mao's words, it was formed a week ago, and all the materials have been distributed, and I have been waiting for the order to leave."

"Okay, we'll be going in two hours. Plan for the thorns, please. ”

Mr. Mao's words are serious, and his subordinates dare not take it. The subordinates must go all out to complete the spur plan. If you don't succeed, you will succeed. ”

Mao Renfeng patted Sun Wenkai on the shoulder: "With your words, my heart is half relieved." Remember, your task is to carry out the plan at full strength, and you don't have to be distracted by the rest of your work in Shanghai. You were ordered to go to Shanghai this time, and it was Boss Dai who personally ordered the general, and you have to explain this to Guo Xuan. ”

Sun Wenkai, who looks bold and unruly on the outside, is actually as careful as a hair, and he knows very well the weight of Dai Li and Mao Renfeng in Guo Xuan's mind, which is nothing less than a world of difference, and does not break it, and replied very clearly: "Please rest assured Mr. Mao, his subordinates must respect Deputy Stationmaster Guo, although his subordinates have no dealings with him, they will never affect the overall situation because of personal likes and dislikes." ”

Mao Renfeng nodded and said: "Guo Xuan is a person who is arrogant, noble, and has no dust, but he will not be ambiguous about the righteousness of the nation." What else are the requirements? ”

"Yes. It is rumored that we have an undercover agent codenamed 86 at No. 76, can our subordinates get in touch with him? ”

Mao Renfeng replied: "There is such a person, but you don't need to contact him directly, you can contact Guo Xuan if you have something." ”

It was useless to say more, so Sun Wenkai gave another military salute: "If Mr. Mao has no other instructions, his subordinates will retire." ”

"Go, I'll wait for the good news."

At midnight on 1 July, Guo Xuanyi connected to two secret telegrams, one from Zhou Chengbin, saying that three operational teams had been sent to infiltrate Shanghai after a month of short-term agent training, and the contact person was Xie Chengxin. Guo Xuan was pleased with this secret message: after training, even if it is short-term, it is much better than a newcomer. After the first two transfers, Li Zhiyong's professional agents were completely lost, and he has been wondering whether the three action groups rebuilt for the third time can be competent for espionage work in Greater Shanghai. Unexpectedly, Zhou Chengbin was thoughtful and made arrangements in advance; One is worried, Mang's plan is so urgent, but Zhou Chengbin still can't return to Shanghai, although there is no mention in the telegram, but it can be imagined that his injury has not improved. Alas, the medical conditions on that isolated island in Hongze Lake are limited, can you sneak into Shanghai for treatment? Guo Xuan quickly denied his idea again. There is no progress in the spur plan, and at this critical time, Zhou Chengbin must not want to increase the burden of Shanghai Station for his own reasons.

Chongqing Mao Renfeng's secret telegram made Guo Xuan a little dissatisfied, and sent a special commissioner to Shanghai, could it be that he couldn't trust me Guo Xuan? This commissioner also brought seven or eight people with him, didn't Mao Renfeng know the simple truth that intelligence warfare is not a group fight, and the more people, the better? Sun Wenkai, although I have never met this person, I have heard of it a few times, but I want to see what is so good about the person who came.

Receiving Guo Xuan's call, Yang Shuang came to Guo Xuan's substitute school under the pretext of inquiring about the enrollment of his relative's children. "Is Mr. Ying Yaozu here?"

The only school worker at the school pointed with his hand: "That's the one who just came out of the classroom." ”

The elementary school has only one office that doubles as a communication room, and Guo Xuan and Yang Shuang went to the third-floor rooftop, the so-called playground where the children had physical education classes. Guo Xuan took the cigarette handed over by Yang Shuang, and took the opportunity of Yang Shuang to light a cigarette for himself, and stuffed Yang Shuang with a very narrow note: "In order to implement the stabbing plan, Chongqing sent a special commissioner, Sun Wenkai." This is the contact location and the code, and you will contact him tonight. ”

After reading it, Yang Shuang pressed the note into his pipe, lit the pipe and took two puffs and replied, "I remember." Don't you see him? ”

"I don't see him anymore, what's the matter for him to contact you and me. I'd like to see where he starts with the Assassin Project. ”

Yang Shuang knows very well that Guo Xuan, a teacher, is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he has a heart-to-heart relationship with those who can see it, and he never disdains hypocrisy and wrongs for those who can't look down on him. If there are shortcomings, this is Guo Xuan's biggest shortcoming. He persuaded: "This man is new to the city, and we don't help him, where does he start?" The spur plan is a big deal, you see......"

Guo Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "You first listen to what he thinks, and then tell me, and then talk about what to do next." ”

"You better meet him, the time is too tight, in case it is a mediocre talent, you quickly find a safe place for them to stay, if something happens to the province, you have to take responsibility for them and explain to the peak." If you can help, it would be good to have a few more people. ”

Yang Shuang Yin persuaded him, in front of the students, Guo Xuan was not stubborn, nodded and agreed.
