Chapter 1213 - Life-Saving Information (continued)
The military intelligence of the Soviet Red Army deployed intelligence agencies in two directions in East Asia, one was Japan and the other was China, and Japan's intelligence agencies ceased to exist with the destruction of the Sorge Group. Now there are only two intelligence lines left in China, one line is the **Shanghai Intelligence Section, which has two strategic intelligence officers, that is, the **Japanese party member Nakanishi Gong who broke into the Shanghai Manchurian Railway Investigation Division, and the **Japanese party member Nishiri Ryuo who broke into the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters; The other line is that the Fourth Bureau of the General Staff of the Red Army sent the ** party members of the former Zorge Shanghai Group to deploy them in Shanghai, Beiping, Tianjin, and other places, and these groups have radio stations and direct contact with Moscow.
Sorge's greatest wish now is that Nakanishi and Ryuo Siri can fulfill his wish.
In order to intimidate Sorge to speak, the Japanese military police scooped the confessions of Hidemi Ozaki and others to Sorge. When Ozaki Hidemi was a journalist in Shanghai, because of his sympathy for the revolution, he participated in a study group organized by Wang Xuewen, a professor at the Shanghai Tongwen College, together with Nakanishi Gong and Nishiri Ryuo, and established a deep friendship with Nakanishi and Nishiri Ryuo. The reason why Nakanishi was able to enter the Manchurian Railway was introduced by Hidemi Ozaki. As long as Hidemi Ozaki confesses Nakanishi Gong and Nishiri Ryuo, everything is over!
Time, what will determine the fate of the Soviet Union is to give Nakanishi Ko and Nishiri Ryuo a time to continue to reconnoiter and clear the accurate information of the Japanese army's southward advance!
The mild-mannered Sorge, who was in a freon cell at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, seemed to hear the rumbling of artillery outside Misk, saw the Red Army officers and men fighting the Germans as if they were dead under the frantic attack of the German army, and seemed to see young men and girls holding explosive bags and pounced on the tanks of the German devils. At this moment, Sorge suddenly felt that compared with obtaining important information to support the frontline operations in Moscow, personal life and death are not important, posthumous evaluation and honor are not important, what is important is intelligence, accurate information!
The head of the military police in charge of solving the Sorge case in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is the Ohashi Police Department. This is a thoughtful fellow, and he has been paying attention to Sorge for a long time. Once Sorge was seriously injured in a car accident and had important information in his pocket. At that time, Sorge kept his mind clear with amazing willpower, and waited until the telegraph operator Clawson came to retrieve the information. Sorge fell into a coma. By the time the Bridge Police Department arrived to search Sorge's clothes, Clawson had just left.
This time he finally caught a big fish, and the ecstatic Ohashi Police Department was afraid that Sorge would not open his mouth, so that he would lose the clues to continue the pursuit and expand the results, so he used all the methods he could use, and even did not bother to check the clues of the study group of the Shanghai Tongwen College proposed in Ozaki Hidemi's confession, and waited to pry open Sorge's mouth. //**//
For this reason, the Ohashi Police Department met with Prime Minister Hideki Tojo in person. Report to him on the importance of Sorge's case and silence those who try to intercede for Sorge. In order to rescue Sorge, the German ambassador to Japan, Ott, was really angry and asked to see Foreign Minister Sajiro Toyoda, and even Hideki Tojo asked to see him. However, Hideki Tojo coldly rejected Ott's request to release Sorge. Let Ott touch the ashes!
What makes the bridge police department happy has finally happened!
In order to prevent the Japanese military police from quickly finding out the Chinese military police who were hiding in the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army and Nakanishi Gong who was hiding in the Shanghai office of the Manchurian Railway, the loyal red spy king Sorge chose to be open without hesitation and explained his identity and work to the Japanese military police.
This opening. was about to leak the secrets of the Soviet army, thus cutting off the possibility of being rescued by the Soviet Union, and there was only a dead end waiting for Sorge.
Sorge spoke. He told his identity as an intelligence officer of the Fourth Bureau of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, and then asked the Japanese military police for a pen and paper, and began to explain slowly.
Sorge's plan succeeded, and although Nakanishi and Nishiri Ryuo did not know that Sorge had been arrested, Nakanishi received a telegram from Tokyo with only three words on it: "Go west." The signature is Jiro Shirakawa. And Shirakawa Jiro is a pen name used by Nakanishi Gong, which is only known to a few very close classmates at the Tongbun Academy in Shanghai. Apparently, this is an alarm telegram.
When the Eighth Route Army attacked and occupied Shanghai, Zhongxi Gong was arrested by the Eighth Route Army along with the people of the Manchurian Railway Office, which was to protect him. Before the retreat of the Eighth Route Army. Nakanishi Gong was released along with the people from the Manchurian Railway Office. During this period, Zhongxi Gong did not meet with the Eighth Route Army, and none of the personnel of the entire Shanghai Office of the Manchurian Railway were interrogated by the Eighth Route Army, and his identity was not exposed.
Nakanishi took a train to Nanjing overnight and discussed with Ryuo Nishiri whether to retreat immediately or return to Tokyo to reconnoiter on the spot. In the end, Nakanishi insisted on returning to Tokyo to find out if Sorge, Ozaki Hidemi and others were safe. It is hoped that the plan and accurate time of the Japanese army's southward advance will be detected.
At the end of October, Nakanishi returned to Japan by boat.
When he returned to Tokyo, the first thing Nakanishi did was to call Hidemi Ozaki, but the phone didn't work. called another intelligence officer, Nagano Cheng, and this time he found a problem, because the person who answered the phone didn't know the secret words between him and Nagano Cheng, and it was obvious that someone was pretending to be Nagano Cheng answering the phone.
Zhongxi Gong did not give up, and called Hong Jin Liangsheng again. This time, Nakanishi Gong made a call as a friend of Hong Jin Yoshikatsu, and after interrogating him for a long time, the person who answered the phone clearly told him: "Go to the Metropolitan Police Department to see him." ”
Only then did Nakanishi realize that the Sorge group in Tokyo had been wiped out. These are the police officers who were left there by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and waiting for those who "threw themselves into the net"!
Suddenly, Nakanishi became a lonely boat floating in the vast sea of people in Tokyo.
It's ridiculous that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Ohashi Police Department, who cracked Sorge's case, is listening to Zorge's confession and can't spare time to listen to the reports of the agents who are waiting for the fish with nets. Otherwise, Nakanishi will soon be arrested.
Zhongxi Gong can't take care of his own safety at this time, since he broke into the tiger's den, he has to capture the tiger!
Nakanishi went directly to the Admiralty to find his friend Keiji Sato. It's a pity that Keiji Sato went to Taiwan and didn't see him. Nakanishi had no choice but to stay in the Navy Reporting Department and listen to the braggaking of those reporters and editors. How did these guys know that Nakanishi Gong was a spy, and he was excited and leaked secrets. For example, the Japanese troops in South China were concentrating on Taiwan, and Sato Guiji went to Taiwan to report with the army, and the troops of the Kwantung Army, which had ended the war in the Far East, were heading south by sea, some were assembling in the Ogasawara Islands, and some were going straight to the East Indies.
Nakanishi Gong understood at once that the Japanese army's southward advance was already in action!
What Nakanishi is looking for now is the exact time and battle plan for the Japanese army to start a war in the United States.
How could such a top-secret thing be found casually?
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and when Nakanishi was at a loss, on the way back to the hotel, he met Sato Keiji, a reporter from the Admiralty Reporting Department who had returned to Tokyo from Taiwan. Nakanishi hurriedly pulled him into the roadside hotel and asked eagerly, "How is Taiwan?" Going on the offensive? ”
Sato originally wanted to keep it a secret, but when he thought that what Nakanishi was doing in the "Manchurian Railway" was to grasp the overall military situation, he told him that he was still waiting for negotiations, and that Ambassador Urasu to Germany had already gone to the United States to help Special Envoy Nomura. The deadline for negotiations is at the end of the month, until the 30th. According to internal sources, there is no hope of success in the negotiations between Japan and the United States. The navy has been assembled in the Tsudoto Inland Sea.
Nakanishi has figured out that the deadline for negotiations between Japan and the United States is the 30th. In other words, on the 30th, if there is still no progress in the negotiations between Japan and the United States, the Japanese army will start combat operations.
Nakanishi no longer wasted time in Tokyo, and immediately returned to Shanghai, because the war was approaching, and the "internal reference" received by the Shanghai office of the Manchurian Railway during this time should have news about this.
Sure enough, after returning to Shanghai, Nakanishi found what he was looking for in the "Intra-Staff Reference", "Intelligence Exchange", "Investigation Circular", "Military Department Circular", "Military Secret", "Top Secret", "Confidential" and other confidential documents in the reference room.
The secret document of the Japanese army's "Operational Outline of the Imperial Army" clearly stated: 1. 16 divisions and regiments stationed in Manchuria and Korea were on alert against the Soviet Union; 2. Fight against China in accordance with the established policy; 3. With regard to the South, the United States and Britain should be limited to the end of November, and preparations for war between the United States and Britain should be strengthened.
Nakanishi re-unearthed the secret documents of the "Southern Deployment of the Imperial Army in the Great East Asian War" and transcribed it: Lieutenant General Sakata, three divisions, Thailand; Lieutenant General Imamura, three divisions, Malaya; Lieutenant General Honma, four divisions, Philippines; General Terauchi, two divisions, Hong Kong.
This information shows that the war between Japan and the United States is scheduled for the end of November and early December, and that it is inevitable.
At this time, Ryuo Xili, who was at the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army in Nanjing, also received valuable information. He received information from the drunken head of the visiting group at a reception to welcome the Kwantung Army visiting group, which stated that the Kwantung Army had left 200,000 troops to defend against the Soviet Union. The rest are all transferred to the south; The sea area where the navy is assembled for combat standby is Beiguan Bay, which is the island of Select, and the ships are activated in late November and sail to the southeast.
Nakanishi immediately sent a secret telegram: According to the comprehensive analysis of intelligence from all sides, especially the calculation that "the negotiations between Japan and the United States will not be delayed by November 30" and the naval voyage time, the time for the Japanese army to launch the "southward advance" operation is December 8 (December 7, US time), and Sunday.
After this secret telegram reached Moscow, Stalin, who was overjoyed, did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Red Army in the Far East to transfer all the only 250,000 main forces to the front line in Moscow to contain the German offensive and launch a counteroffensive. The commander of the Far Eastern Military District, General Apanashchenko, was ordered to retain the numbers of the main forces after the main forces were transferred to the west, replenish personnel and equipment, camouflage the main forces of the Red Army in the Far East, and confuse the Japanese.
Military columns marched through the Trans-Siberian Railway in the direction of Moscow.
