Chapter 1023 Understanding the situation
"Senior seat, what you see now is the living area. All the personnel are divided into two groups, taking turns to rest, and monitor the target 24 hours a day."

The person in charge of the "True Listening" group stood in front of several bunk beds and introduced to Zuo Chong in a low voice.

Even when they were on the field, they still maintained a good service standard. Everything was like in the training class, and the bedding was neatly folded.

Zuo Zhong nodded in satisfaction. Discipline is the cornerstone of an organization. If you can't even do the simplest internal affairs, it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete other tasks.

He touched the quilt on the bed and found that it was a little damp. There was nothing he could do about it. The water content in Shanghai and the ground was too high. Although a simple waterproof treatment had been done during the construction of this place, it still could not prevent the ubiquitous water vapor from invading. .

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to keep daily items dry, and the spies can only use their bodies to resist. His clothes were soaked just a few minutes after he got down.

It's not just because of the high humidity, but also because of the heat.

The so-called underground is warm in winter and cool in summer, which means that the shallow soil, such as the place where "Ting Ting" is located, is kept at around 20 degrees Celsius all year round.

This temperature sounds very comfortable, but with the exhaust gas breathed out by so many people, the body temperature is at least 30 degrees.

Feeling emotional for a moment, Zuo Zhong looked around and found no other living facilities, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"How are the problems of eating, drinking and convenience solved?"

The person in charge blushed, pointed to a small iron window next to the elevator and the wooden toilet under the bed and began to explain.

“It’s difficult to ventilate underground, and I can’t cook by myself. The brothers above will send it down with a bucket after cooking, and then hang the bowls and chopsticks up after eating.

We use the toilet for convenience. We defecate at the specified time every day, and then use the bucket to send it to the ground. The smell is a bit strong, but it can guarantee concealment. "

"It's not easy!"

Hearing the words, Zuo Chong sighed, no wonder he felt a bit difficult to breathe and smelled strange when he got off, so it was like this.

Both food and convenience rely on buckets, even if it is not a container, it is still not acceptable to ordinary people, and only after strict training can it be persisted.

The half-year rotation period is a huge physical and psychological test. Judging from the current performance, the members of the "Listening Truth" team are undoubtedly qualified.

However, people are not machines after all. Bacteria multiply in high-humidity and high-temperature environments, which can easily lead to diseases. Living conditions must be improved.

He turned his head slowly, looked at the person in charge and the small spies lined up beside him, and offered praise and suggestions in a solemn tone.

"You are all heroes of the party and the country, and I will ask the bureau for your credit.

In addition, there is light, find a way to increase the number or power of exhaust fans, I don't want to hear the news that the brothers are sick. "

Gui Youguang nodded quickly. It was the first time for the military commander to work in such a deep underground for a long time, so the previous plan must have been ill-considered.

After this on-site investigation, he also discovered the shortcomings, and he has experience in building such projects in the future.

After inspecting the living area, Zuo Zhong followed the person in charge into the corridor on one side of the room, and walked towards the working area of ​​the "Listening Truth" team.

A few dim explosion-proof lights hung in the corridor made of cement and steel bars, and a machine gun bunker could be seen from a distance, located at the end of the corridor.

"Password: Unity!"

"Return order: Consistent!"

As he was walking, someone yelled in a low voice behind the machine gun cover, and the person in charge here immediately replied that this was not a joke.

Once the order is not returned within the specified time, the machine gunner will assume that this place has been exposed, and immediately shoot to buy time for the personnel in the working area behind.

Zuo Zhong watched all this silently, and his memories suddenly returned to the devil's Beiyinhe base, and he didn't come back to his senses until he walked to another room under the guidance of the person in charge.

What appeared in front of everyone were dozens of electronic instruments with red and green lights flashing. In front of the instruments sat a few spies who were concentrating on recording.

Under the powerful electromagnetic induction, the hairs on everyone's faces and arms twitched slightly, the temperature also rose instantly, and a burnt smell wafted out of their nostrils.

This place is the core working area of ​​the "True Listening" team. Dozens of iron pipes are connected to the monitors at one end and the receivers in the ceiling of each room in No. 76 at the other end.

Most of the area on No. 76 is under surveillance. Even if Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun put a P, they cannot escape the monitoring of the military commander.

Although the place here is not big, but all the electrical materials and personnel training costs in the room are added together, enough for the government to build another German weapon regiment.

"With so many monitoring devices, how to solve the power consumption?"

After reading it, Zuo Zhong asked.

Just like they used to use power consumption to find spies, the Japanese can also find "listening" from power consumption, and this issue must be taken seriously.

The electronic equipment in the period of the Republic of China was all electronic tubes, and the power consumption was not generally large. The power consumption of so many monitors could not be covered by the power consumption of the 75th.

In case the devil or No. 76 investigates, the "owner" of No. 75, Chang Dao, can't explain it at all. He can't say that he runs a factory at home, right?

The person in charge heard the deputy director's question, bypassed the secret agents who were working, walked to several wires wrapped in natural rubber, and gave an answer.

"Senior seat, this matter was considered at the beginning of the design. The power consumption of "Ting Ting" is divided into multiple sources. In addition to No. 75, the nearby No. 71, 73, 77, and 79 are all part of the power supply system.

"These residences are not small in size and consume a lot of power. The power consumption of the equipment is not obvious after the flat. The electrician on Jisfell Road is our own. Even if some residents find something wrong, they can deal with it in time."

It took a long time to steal electricity.

Zuo Zhong touched his nose, but he automatically forgot about it in a blink of an eye. What's wrong with stealing some electricity?

Besides, those who could keep their houses after the Japanese occupied Shanghai were either traitors or foreigners, and it was only natural to charge them more electricity bills.

On the other side, the person in charge ┴ briefly introduced the power consumption situation, and then opened a small door. It was a diesel generator, which was obviously a backup power supply.

If there is a problem with the common power supply, there is a backup power supply, which will not affect the normal monitoring work, and the supply of diesel is relatively easy.

There are black market merchants selling oil everywhere in Shanghai. After buying small oil drums, they can be sent down by hanging buckets, which is very convenient to carry.

Another advantage of using a diesel generator is that under the same power, the oxygen consumption of diesel engine oil is the lowest. Don't forget that this is underground.

The only disadvantage is that the noise is relatively large, which affects the monitoring effect.

As for whether it will be heard by the traitors on No. 76, the thick layer of soil is not a decoration, and the members of the "True Listening" team speak softly, just out of habit.

Turning around in the work area, Zuo Zhong found that besides the small room with the diesel engine, there was another small door in the corner, which was very hidden.

The person in charge noticed this scene, stepped forward and said that this was the entrance of the escape passage, and after entering, they led to three different safe houses.

The safe house is inhabited, and these people are not responsible for any intelligence operations, and have only one purpose, to guard and maintain the exit.

Afterwards, Zuo Zhong asked a few more questions, and after listening to the person in charge's answer, he did not find any omissions, and showed a satisfied smile.

"Very well, you have to be so careful when you do your work. Your existence has great strategic significance for the government, so you must be more careful."

"By the way, do you have any information about the loss in Jinling District? Why didn't they receive the early warning message from the headquarters?"

After complimenting the "True Listening Team", Zuo Zhong asked the two most concerned questions, which were related to the cause of the accident and the reconstruction work in Jinling District.

The sacrifice of Taoist Xuancheng and others caused the military commander to lose all information channels in Jinling, and Ji's "return to the capital" is close at hand, and Jinling District must resume operations as soon as possible.

Hearing Zuo Zhong's words, the person in charge immediately walked to a file cabinet, took out a file from above, handed it over with both hands, and reported.

"Senior seat, this is related information. Why didn't Jinling District receive the warning message? The Japanese and Ding Mocun haven't mentioned this issue.

Since this matter was related to the Japanese military police, members of No. 76 rarely discussed the casualties, so we can only analyze from a few words.

The result of the analysis is not very good. Most of the high-level officials in Jinling District have died, and some people whose names are not mentioned may also be in bad luck.

Originally, I planned to find out all the situation before sending a report to Shancheng, trying not to miss a single person, but I didn't expect you to come in person. "

Zuo Zhong took the file and opened it to look at it. The series of death lists made him sigh, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he thought of those old brothers who had followed him.

Just like what the Japanese wrote in the newspapers, they died heroically at the last moment of their lives, and they died in the same way as the devils.

A snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings.

Without instructions from the middle and high level, the remaining personnel in Jinling District will automatically enter a dormant state, waiting for the headquarters to wake up again.

This is also part of the contingency plan. In order to preserve the fire in an emergency, the intelligence network that has been formed with great difficulty cannot be given up just by giving up.

Slowly closing the file, Zuo Chong had a preliminary plan in his mind, and then asked the "True Listening" team about the monitoring results of Zheng Shisong.

Whether the other party has betrayed or not, this matter must be clarified.

If Zheng Shisong chooses to defect to the enemy, the harm will be very great, and there is only one result waiting for him, and that is death without a place to bury him.

But this question seems to have stumped the person in charge of "True Listening". The other party frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly.

"Judging from the monitoring content alone, it is difficult to judge whether Zheng Shisong has surrendered to the enemy. Although he had a good chat with the Japanese and the people on No. 76, he did not disclose any substantive information.

It's not wrong to say that he has no problems, this guy has a fierce fight with Chen Mingchu, Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun and others every day┴, and these days he is still going out to have fun together under the protection of the traitors. "

It turned out to be the case.

Zuo Zhong nodded slightly. No wonder there was no information from "Ting Ting" all the time. Whether a person surrenders to the enemy is a serious issue and cannot be easily concluded.

If the judgment is wrong, not only will it cause more serious consequences, but it will also chill the hearts of our own people who are in the enemy camp. It is indeed difficult to make a decision.

However, he keenly sensed that something was wrong. Ding Mocun brought a real traitor and Zheng Shisong to the market. Was it because he was afraid that the other party would die too slowly?

Maybe it's a bait?
Judging from the situation at the wharf, the Japanese probably already connected the Anqing incident with him, and also guessed that he would come to Shanghai next, so they threw Chen and Zheng out.

It's just that the devil underestimates himself, this kind of trap that can be identified at a glance, someone on his left will be fooled, really think he is Xu Enzeng?
Zuo Zhong sneered secretly, then suddenly seemed to think of something, subconsciously raised his head and looked over his head, his eyes flashed thoughtful.
