Chapter 995: Two Plans
On the evening of August 18, An Yang Jiang sent a message, Red Rose informed that on the morning of the 19th, she, Liao Yaquan and others arrived at Hankou Airport by transport plane, and then, Han Lin ordered the Hankou Intelligence Station to deploy surveillance at the airport tomorrow morning to lock down Liao Yaquan's whereabouts.
On the morning of the 19th, Han Lin arrived at Tanzhou Airport with his attaché by plane, and without stopping, he took a car to Xiangjiang Wharf and boarded a small steamer waiting in advance.
Zhou Bingqing, the stationmaster of Major General, personally took several senior agents to monitor outside Liao Yaquan's residence to prevent the surveillance action from being discovered by the enemy.
The small steamer followed Dongting Lake into the Yangtze River and then down the river to Hankou.
The Forward Headquarters of the Second Section of the Advisory Department of the Special High School of the Japanese Concession in Hankou.
"Section Chief, the chameleon sent me a progress report, she and the people of the operation team have successfully infiltrated the mountain city, got in touch with the local intelligence team, and are currently operating near the target's residence, waiting for your instructions at any time." Keiko said.
"Send a report to the chameleon, ask her to carefully observe the situation of the target's residence, and wait patiently, I have come to Hankow, and contact me in time if there is any change. If the plan of the aviation forces does not succeed, we will start the second set of plans, and now we are waiting for the intelligence of the stubborn stone. Liao Yaquan stood at the window and said.
Through the gap in the curtains, she carefully looked at the situation outside, but unfortunately, nothing had changed, and she did not see suspicious people moving around.
"Is the aviation sure that it will complete this task?" Keiko asked.
"This time, General Saburo Endo personally led the execution, and with the technology of the Imperial Air Force, there is no problem in doing this, provided that it is necessary to confirm that the target is within the bombing range."
"At present, the Shancheng government has received information that the 11th Army is going to attack Tanzhou, and the target is constantly holding military meetings, and His Excellency the general means that this time it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill all the military and political dignitaries of the Shancheng government in the air raid in one fell swoop and achieve the greatest results." Liao Yaquan's eyes showed a feverish look.
She cooperated with the Army Air Corps to implement a plan of great strategic value, compared to which the capture of the military command of Shanghai was only a trivial achievement, and if the plan was successful, she was bound to leave a legendary mark in the intelligence community of the Great Japanese Empire.
"Chief, what about my mission?" Chiyo Hoshino asked.
"Together with Kojima-kun, the leader of the Hankow team, you prepare to infiltrate the mountain city and assist the chameleon in carrying out the second plan. I know you're not good at operations, and your mission is to be a liaison between Kojima and the Special Operations Group, keeping in touch with me at all times, this plan is very important, and it's also a top secret for our Imperial Military Department, and it can't be known to the intelligence officers in Yamashiri. ”
"As for now, you don't have any specific tasks, the first set of plans does not require your participation, you can disguise yourself later, dress up like me, go around the streets outside, observe the surrounding environment, and then go shopping in the French Concession to see if anyone has gotten the news in advance." Liao Yaquan said.
She knew that Red Rose's specialty was to seduce her, and the two of them received the same training method in the special high class, and Red Rose couldn't do such an action as assassination. But as a veteran agent of the second lesson, Red Rose also has her own strengths, and is experienced and responsive, making her a good fit to be a liaison.
"We came by plane, and only a small number of people in the special second class know about this news, and even the intelligence officers in Hankou were not notified in advance, how could they be targeted, I think you are thinking too much?" Chiyo Hoshino said with a smile.
"Don't be careless, I tell you for sure that there are agents of the Shancheng government around the airport, and they continue to send information about the take-off and landing of planes at the airport to the Shancheng government, and the gendarmerie has searched several times, used radio detection vehicles, and arrested some people, including those from the Military Control Bureau and the Central Control Bureau, but the signal still exists, and it has not been eliminated until now."
"If we come by plane, we will definitely attract their attention, maybe they will keep an eye on us along the way, and follow us to the Japanese concession, there is nothing impossible in intelligence work, the Chinese often say, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, it is always good to be careful in everything, you go!" Liao Yaquan said.
She is confident in her own judgment, and in addition to the sharp intuition formed by experience and career, it is a fact that has always existed. She personally planned and carried out the large-scale search at the airport, although there were results, but there was a radio signal that could not find the exact direction, and finally the gendarmerie was impatient, which also became an unsolved case.
Japan successively carried out two large-scale strategic bombings of Yamashiri, consuming more than 20,000 aerial bombs and a large amount of aviation gasoline, and losing more than 200 planes and many pilots.
Before the start of the two strategic bombings, the Yamashiro government received accurate information and evacuated the citizens in a timely manner, and as a result of the bombings, the buildings in the urban area were blown into ruins, and the economic losses were huge, but the casualties of the citizens were unexpected.
Just when the 102 strategic bombing plan was about to come to an end, a top-secret piece of news aroused great concern among the army air forces, and they quickly cooperated with the secret services to draw up an operational plan, which could be regarded as a final sprint to the goal.
"I have a feeling that you are deliberately blocking information from Red Rose, isn't she trustworthy?" Keiko asked.
"No, if I didn't trust Red Rose, I wouldn't have brought her to Hankow on a mission, and I wouldn't have sent her as a liaison, she and we are both agents trained in the same period of the special high school, and there is nothing suspicious about her loyalty to the Empire."
"According to the discipline of our special high class, since she does not participate in the implementation of the first set of plans, she cannot know the relevant information, and I and Ling are participants, so we naturally need to know the content of the plan, which has nothing to do with trust." Liao Yaquan shook his head and said, then continued to look at the movement outside.
Keiko watched her movements, and secretly slandered, this temporary command headquarters is protected by six imperial agents, and there are military police patrols outside, you are too careful, this is not the territory of the mountain city government, is it possible that someone dares to come here to assassinate you?
Hoshino Chiyo returned to her room, dressed as a man, and came to the street in a suit, she knew that Liao Yaquan would definitely look at her, so she slowly turned around twice, she really didn't see anything abnormal, and she was still a little anxious, not knowing if Han Lin could find herself.
