Shancheng, Luojiawan No. 29.

In the big office of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters, there are small spies busy with work everywhere, and the phone rings and the voices are constantly ringing.

As one of the most important business departments of the military command, countless intelligence is collected here, collated and analyzed, and then provided to high-level officials or the military as a basis for decision-making.

A female spy hurried over with documents in her hand, bypassed the noisy crowd, came to a small room and knocked on the door.

"Report, urgent call from the co-seat."

Wu Chunyang, who was signing documents in the room, got up immediately, opened the door, received the message, waved the female spy away, and turned back to the desk.

There are too many confidential documents in his office, and no one is allowed to enter except himself.

After sitting back in his seat, Wu Chunyang quickly translated the code against the codebook, and an order appeared under Rusha's pen.

Looking at the content on the paper, he got up again, walked to the door and pushed it open with a creak, clapping his hands at everyone.

Hearing the applause, the small spies who were present put down their work one after another, and looked at the director who started to lecture.

"Immediately collect the whereabouts of the staff around Yan Baichuan in the second war zone, and focus on investigating whether anyone has left the Jin army's controlled area recently, especially military, political, and diplomatic officials.

Evidence shows that some of them will negotiate with the Japanese on behalf of the Jin army and prepare to surrender to the devils.

During the investigation, no one person should be missed. The whereabouts of each target must be confirmed, and the investigation records must be signed by the operatives. Whoever has a problem should be dealt with. This is what the deputy director meant. "

After saying the order in a cold voice, Wu Chunyang looked down at his watch again, and gave the deadline with a serious expression.

"You only have 12 hours, mobilize all the latent personnel in Jin Province and the Second Theater, act now!"

"Yes!"

The little spies raised their hands in salute and shouted in unison, and then those who made phone calls, those who sent telegrams, those who checked information, and the intelligence department was fully operational.

Within an hour, the military reunification agents deployed in the Second War Zone Chief's Department and Qiulin Town, Yichuan County, where Yan Baichuan's government was stationed, were awakened one by one.

These intelligence personnel who were soldiers, clerks, chefs, and clerks in Pingshi used all means to find and investigate Yan Baichuan's henchmen.

On the other hand, Wu Chunyang was not idle either, and personally went to the second office to invite Gu Qi and several senior spies from the intelligence department to be responsible for internal monitoring.

As it concerns the theater commander, the operation must be kept strictly confidential.

Once Yan Baichuan knows about this, he will definitely protest to the mountain city, and even cause conflicts between the government and the local government, and the military commander will be the one to blame.

Time passed by, and the personnel files were moved to the office, and the analysts began to work.

First of all, what they have to do is to select someone who is qualified to be a negotiator from among Yan Baichuan's cronies, which is not difficult to do.

Those who can negotiate with the Japanese on behalf of the Jin army must be veterans of the Jin army, otherwise others will not be convinced.

而第二战区下属的晋军共有第19、33、34、35、61、83军、骑兵第1军以及暂编第1军。

The negotiators are likely to be among the chief officers of these troops, because in troubled times, the one with the gun is the real caller.

In addition, Yan Baichuan's staff members are also suspected.

To govern such a large territory in Jin Province, it is not enough to rely on the Jin army alone, and a group of civil officials in charge of local civil affairs are also needed.

Yan Baichuan had recruited and employed many literati since the Xinhai period, and these people were also likely to represent the Jin army in negotiating peace with the Japanese.

Soon, a list was sorted out.

Wu Chunyang didn't hesitate after reading it, and immediately asked someone to send it to the front-line agents, and sorted it out according to the personnel on the list.

Gucci, whose hair was getting thinner, walked around the office, stood beside him, handed him a cigarette, and opened his mouth to remind him.

"Chunyang, this is Yan Baichuan, let the brothers pay attention, if something goes wrong, everyone will be in trouble."

"I understand that the personnel involved in this operation all carried poison and will never be captured alive by the Jin army."

Wu Chunyang's tone was indifferent, there was no evidence, even the commander of the war zone could not attack at will, this is the rule of the game.

Gu Qi was startled, and the cigarettes he sent to his mouth stopped in front of his mouth, and he sighed after a long time.

"Hey, talk about it, if you don't beat the Japanese well, you insist on doing such a thing that hurts your relatives and makes your enemies happy, Mr. Yan is confused.

Besides, is the devil so easy to talk to? Doing so is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and sooner or later the other party will regret it. "

Having received an intelligence report from Wu Chunyang earlier, Gu Qi was very frightened. Who would have thought that the commander of the theater would surrender.

"Our Chief Yan often said that existence is truth. According to his logic, there is a reason for surrender. We can't control these things."

After receiving the latest information, Wu Chunyang sneered while reading it, with a mocking tone.

For the big shots, all doctrines and patriotism are false, only eternal interests.

After listening to his words, Gu Qi shook his head and stopped talking, staring at a secret agent, smoking a stuffy cigarette one mouthful after another.

Five hours later.

The first piece of valuable information was sent back. Li Fengzhou, chief of staff of the 1st Cavalry Army of the Jin Army, left the station 10 days ago, and no one knew where the other party went.

What was even more strange was that Li Fengzhou's seal and signature were still included in the military's daily official documents, and everything was as usual except that no one answered the phone.

If the secret agent hadn't ventured into the other party's house and paid a lot of money to buy the servants in the mansion, the military commander would really not have found out that this person was missing.

Li Fengzhou was born in Yan Baichuan's starting army, the No. 80 sixth standard of the former new army, an absolute veteran, quite popular among the generals of the Jin army.

It is very strange that the chief of staff of a military-level unit left the unit during the war and disappeared without a trace. Isn't he afraid of the sudden Japanese attack?

You must know that dereliction of duty and leaving without authorization are capital crimes, and the military law department of the second theater is all from Shancheng, so they will not give Yan Baichuan such a big face.

Unless, Li Fengzhou is sure that the Japanese will not attack while he is away, then the question arises, why is he so sure that his departure will not cause trouble.

The answer is obvious, either his disappearance was to perform a normal secret mission, and even if something happened, it had nothing to do with him, or he and the Jin army had a tacit understanding with the Japanese.

"Adjust the mission and meeting minutes of the second theater, and then call the attendant's room to ask whether the Jin army has reported the secret operation."

"Yes."

In order to rule out the first possibility, Wu Chunyang immediately asked for the relevant records to be obtained from the attendant's office. In case Li Fengzhou was really on official business, no one could say for sure.

The results came out quickly. Neither the records nor the feedback from the attendant room showed that there was a secret operation in the second theater.

Wu Chunyang had the bottom line in his mind. It seemed that Li Fengzhou was most likely the representative of the Jin Army who was in charge of negotiating with the Japanese or one of them, so he ordered decisively.

"Notify the brothers in North China and Shanghai to do their best to find out Li Fengzhou's whereabouts, telex his photo to the nearest National Control Area site, and use secret channels to send it to investigators as soon as possible."

Years of front-line intelligence experience and nearly a year of training have made Wu Chunyang a qualified intelligence chief, and he handles cases in an orderly manner.

Under his command, good news came one after another. Except for Li Fengzhou, Yan Baichuan's most trusted and trusted secretary, Jia Dezhen, asked for leave half a month ago to go back to his hometown to visit his mother's grave.

According to the investigation of the local military command, Judd Town did come back and met a famous local gentry, but suddenly fell ill a few days later, refused anyone to visit, and lived in seclusion.

Through secret visits, someone reported to the spies that several cars were seen leaving the back door of Jia's mansion one night. They did not even turn on the lights when driving, and their whereabouts were very secretive.

Li Fengzhou, Judd town.

One literate and one martial arts.

Yan Baichuan's two absolute confidants disappeared almost at the same time. It would be strange if there was no problem here. The grave-sweeping is nothing more than a trick for the golden cicada to escape its shell.

Speaking of which, compared with Yan Yiting, these two people are indeed qualified to represent the Jin army, whether they are civil officials or generals, they are speechless.

However, Wu Chunyang did not jump to conclusions. There is still some time before the 12-hour deadline, and the investigation work can be done more solidly.

On the one hand, he sent someone to send the files of Li and Jia directly to Hong Kong City by plane without transit.

On the other hand, continue to investigate the whereabouts of Yan Baichuan's cronies, and expand the scope of the investigation to the security forces of the Second Theater Chief's Department and the elite combat units of the Jin Army.

Assuming that Li Fengzhou and Judd Town were really negotiators, it was impossible for them to go to the port city alone. The road was full of troops and chaos, and they might be slaughtered before reaching the destination. They must be accompanied by guards.

Of course, the Japanese will definitely send people to protect them after entering the occupied area, but what is the difference between protection and surveillance in other people's territory.

Once the bottom line of the negotiation is grasped by the Japanese, Yan Baichuan and his men will not fail to think of how the Jin army can get more benefits.

Therefore, in terms of safety and confidentiality, bringing their own guards is the only choice for Li Fengzhou and Judd Town. The soldiers who can perform this kind of mission must not only be elite, but also confidantes.

The facts are the same as what Wu Chunyang speculated. With a clear scope of investigation, the investigators will gain something in a short time.

——A platoon of officers and men from the pistol company under the Security Regiment of the Commander's Department of the Second War Zone has disappeared along with their weapons, totaling 30 people.

The pistol company, a military organization unique to the Republic of China, is an emergency product when automatic firepower is scarce and it is difficult to form effective suppressive firepower.

Its members often sneak into the effective range of the shell gun through night raids, killing and injuring the enemy in large numbers with fierce melee firepower.

It is not easy to build similar troops. In addition to the configuration of weapons and equipment, the soldiers are also selected. Priority is given to those who are tall and skilled in martial arts, or selected from veterans who have recovered from wounded soldiers.

These people's individual combat capabilities are extremely strong. At the same time, due to the need for close combat, the casualty rate is high, and the salary and treatment of the pistol company are much better than that of ordinary troops, so the loyalty of the personnel is also very high.

Wu Chunyang's face was gloomy, the 30 Guojun elites did not fight the Japanese desperately, but protected the traitors who made peace with the devils, Yan Baichuan was really willing.

In the next second, he ordered the little spy to send a report to Gangcheng Station to report the investigation results of the headquarters. They did everything they could, and all they had to do was wait.

And in Yichuan County, hundreds of miles away, a person came out of Yan Baichuan's mansion, stopped in a dentist's clinic for a while, and then returned to the Chief's Department of the Second War Zone.
