On January 1938, 1, the Japanese Naval Air Force dispatched 10 aircraft to cover the landing of the Marines on the coast of the island city, and then entered the urban area. The island city fell immediately. By the 50th, the entire Jiaoji Railway was also occupied by the Japanese army.

The Japanese base camp has now used the island city as a bridgehead and military base for the war of aggression against China, and stationed a large number of armed forces in the island city. This was not only due to the geographical location of the island city, but also because of the economic status of Shandong Province.

Shandong Province has a vast territory and rich resources. It has coal, iron and other underground minerals, as well as rich agricultural and livestock products. These resources and specialties can be quickly transported to Japan by sea with very little money and materials. The island as a transshipment center It is not surprising that the city received so much attention from the Japanese authorities.

Dai Chunfeng sighed when he thought of this, recalled the deployment of Japanese troops in Daocheng in his mind, and said troubledly: "According to the previous information from Daocheng station, the Japanese troops stationed in Daocheng are divided into two parts: the army and the navy.

The navy has more than 5000 people. The person in charge is Vice Admiral Kuwahara Aone. It has jurisdiction over the sea and coastal lands around the urban area of ​​​​Dashima City and the Shandong Peninsula. Its strength is somewhat more powerful than the national navy before the war.

It has 1 medium-sized aircraft carrier, more than 40 aircraft, 8000 1-ton cruiser, 3000 2-ton destroyers, 1000 3-ton destroyers, 2 Marine groups, and several field airport garrison teams.

陆军力量主要为代号是桐的混成第5旅团，下辖第16、第17、第18、第19、第20大队和直属队，共5000余人，加上市郊及鲁东各据点的兵力，总兵力约8000人。

Equipped with dozens of light tanks, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, hundreds of large and small artillery pieces, more than 200 vehicles, and 3 reconnaissance aircraft, its maneuverability and firepower are second to none among the Japanese troops stationed in China.

Counting the local military police, Japanese police station, Marine Corps, Navy's Fourth Fleet, military stations, aviation fleet, hospitals, naval schools and other institutions, there are more than 3 Japanese troops in the small island city.

The whole city is like a hedgehog with its thorns exploding. When carrying out intelligence activities in a place like this, it would be a small matter if all of Daocheng Station were sacrificed. I'm afraid that even this will not be able to punish those rebellious ones. Shen Zhi, what do you think of this operation? What should be done? "

In his eyes, compared with someone's order, the dozens of lives on and off Daocheng Station are nothing. If this is the price that must be paid, he will not hesitate at all.

As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers. War itself is anti-human. Sometimes in order to achieve a certain goal, a general must be ruthless even if he knows that he is going to die.

Zuo Zhong did not answer his question directly, but asked Lao Dai a question after careful consideration: "Teacher, do you think it is more important for the committee to kill those rebellious people, or to negotiate peace with the Japanese?"

Dai Chunfeng was stunned and said with some uncertainty: "Is it important to kill the traitor?"

After saying that, he thought about it and quickly changed his words: "No, peace talks with the Japanese are important!"

Zuo Zhong shook his head slightly and whispered his opinion to the other party: "Teacher, students secretly believe that the most important thing is to make the Japanese no longer believe in Ji Ni and others, at least to make the Japanese doubt the reliability of the puppet government. .

Otherwise, if a few traitors are killed, more traitors will emerge, and the problem cannot be solved fundamentally. Only by destroying the relationship between the Japanese and the puppets can the strategic purpose of occupying a dominant position in the peace talks with Japan be achieved. "

"Huh? Keep talking."

After hearing this, Lao Dai became interested. He relaxed and leaned on the sofa, signaling Zuo Zhong to continue. He wanted to see what surprises his proud disciple would bring to him.

"Okay, teacher."

Zuo Zhong straightened his back and replied, and then said what he was thinking: "Instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources and letting the brothers risk their lives to punish the traitors, it is better to find ways to instigate one or two important officials of the puppet government┴ member.

We must ask them to openly surrender, and even personally testify against Ji Ni's despicable behavior of betraying the country and seeking glory, so as to undermine the legitimacy of the so-called new government and expose the other party's conspiracy to establish a new central government. This is what the committee hopes to see. Arrived.

In this way, the Japanese will inevitably become suspicious of other high-level officials of the puppet government. With the Japanese's suspicion, eavesdropping, investigation and even arrest and torture are inevitable. This can greatly damage the morale of the traitors and make them fearful.

In the final analysis, this matter is a political issue, which should be solved by political means, but military means are inferior. Of course, this is just the student's immature view. What to do, students follow your orders, teacher. "

Instigate rebellion, publicly testify, alienate...

Several keywords flashed through Dai Chunfeng's mind, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he showed a faint smile and looked at Zuo Zhong, pretending not to worry.

"Shen Zhong, you are actually trying to get along with me, teacher. Tell me, I know you well, and I never fight an unprepared battle. When you say that, you must have a specific plan. Tell me, where are you going to start from? Start taking action.

I have to remind you that the people around Ji Ni are all his old subordinates for many years and are very loyal, otherwise they would not follow him to rebel and surrender to the enemy. It is not easy to instigate such a person to rebel. Be careful when the other party comes. Countermeasures. "

On the one hand, Lao Dai praised Zuo Zhong for his suggestion, but on the other hand, he also expressed his concerns. Qin Hui had three other close friends, not to mention Ji, the former No. [-] person in the government.Regarding Teacher Cheap's concerns, Zuo Zhong nodded slightly in agreement, then took out a folded document from his pocket, unfolded it, handed it to Dai Chunfeng, and reported to him.

"Teacher, this is the latest information sent back by "Pangolin". After he and Mou Zhiye, the defected head of the Intelligence Division of the Central Military Commission, entered the Japanese-occupied area, they were first detained in the Jinling Gendarmerie for screening. After several rounds of interrogations, they successfully deceived the Japanese. He was later sent to his uncle.

The other party is the deputy minister of the interior of the puppet government under preparation, and the people he interacts with are all senior Japanese and puppet officials. According to Pangolin's inquiries, Ji Ni has recently stepped up the negotiation process with the Japanese, and the two sides are likely to sign a new treason agreement. The content of the agreement still requires further investigation.

At present, it is only known that those in charge of the negotiations are Zhou Fushui, Mei Siping, and Tao Xisheng. Another representative, Gao Zongwu, said that he has not recovered from his illness. However, one thing is very interesting. Gao and Tao, Ji Ni's confidants, have new positions in the puppet government. to marginalization. "

Since the last Wanzhou farewell, this was the first piece of information that Xing Hanliang sent back to the military. It was small but very important. It was with this information that Zuo Zhong decided to use instigation instead of sanctions to complete a certain task. Human tasks.

While he was happy for his old classmate, he was also worried for him. He successfully passed the screening. This sentence is easy to say, but the process must be thrilling, even full of blood and pain.

"Oh?"

On the other side, Dai Chunfeng exclaimed and immediately sat up straight. He took the document and read it quickly. The content of the intelligence was indeed the same as what Zuo Zhong said. Among the current tentative list of positions in the puppet government, Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The deputy minister and the other are the director of the propaganda department, but they are not in core positions.

And their old colleagues, such as Chen and Zhou Fushui, are at least ministers with real power. They all hold great power. Even some juniors from the reorganization faction have obtained higher official positions than them. Gao and Tao will know in their hearts. No resentment, the answer is yes.

Not to mention others, Gao Zongwu is a well-known "expert on Japan" within the Guo Party and a veteran of the reorganization faction. He was involved in the East Asia Club case back then. He has been following Mr. Ji for more than ten years. He even risked beheading to follow Mr. Ji and fled to Hanoi. He presided over and participated in many negotiations with Japan and obtained a lot of benefits for Mr. Ji.

Now, he has only obtained the position of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. You must know that in the 24th year of the Republic of China, the 29-year-old Gao Zongwu became the Director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If he did not defect with Ji, the Deputy Minister would The position is stable.

When comparing the two, Dai Chunfeng didn't believe that the other party had other ideas. Politics is the art of dividing spoils. You pay more and get less. Not to mention superiors and subordinates, even father and son will turn against each other.

The same is true for Tao Xisheng. When he was in Shancheng, he was a member of the National Defense Council and a member of the National Political Council. He was of noble status, but he became a traitor and only became the Propaganda Minister in name only. He probably regretted it.

After reading it, Dai Chunfeng shook the information on his hand and said excitedly: "Shen Zhong, great, if we can win over Gao and Tao and let them publicly testify against Ji, it will be more effective than killing 1 traitors! "

As he spoke, he raised his head and sighed: "This old classmate of yours is not an ordinary person. He was able to pass the Japanese screening so quickly and pass back such important information. I want to give him great credit."

Great merit?
Just don't get liquidated after victory.

Zuo Chong slandered, and on the surface he thanked Lao Dai for Xing Hanliang with tears in his eyes, and then stated the plans he had made long ago, asking for Dai Chunfeng's approval and authorization.

Dai Chunfeng took aim at this with a wave of his hand. It could fundamentally solve someone's troubles without spending too many resources. He had no reason to object.

Soon, a radio wave was sent out from the military telecommunications office, traveled thousands of miles away in an instant, and was finally received by a radio station in a darkroom of a house in Jinling.

On that day, there was an inconspicuous advertisement on the outer wall of Confucius Temple Tycoon Nightclub. To ordinary people, this was just a program notice, but to some people, it was a code to notify an emergency contact.

At the other end of the city, Yihe Gongguan Road was as quiet as before the war. The traces of the war had long since disappeared. In the sunshine, two young men walked out of a villa with the Du Gongguan brand.

One of them stopped on the side of the road, cupped his hands and thanked him: "Brother Xing, thank you very much for introducing Vice Minister Du to me today. I cannot thank you enough. I will always speak freely when I can be of use to my brothers in the future."

The speaker was Mou Zhiye, who had stolen the Zhongtong agent list and defected. The person standing opposite him was naturally Xing Hanliang.

At this time, Xing Hanliang no longer had the hesitation of the day. He wore a suit and leather shoes with half leather shoes, and a small K dress. He was indescribably chic and suave, but his leg seemed to be injured and he was walking with a limp.

Hearing Mou Zhiye's thanks, Xing Hanliang waved his hand grandly: "Hey, you're welcome, you and I escaped from death in the mountain city and are close friends of life and death. It's just a small effort to introduce your uncle, so why bother saying thank you.

But if you really want to thank me, why not invite me to the Tycoon Nightclub? I heard that there are a group of Japanese singers there with very graceful figures. I have never tasted the taste of Japanese women, hahaha~"

Mou Zhiye touched the wallet in his pocket, cursing in his heart, but keeping a smile on his face, he raised his finger and said "please" in the direction of Confucius Temple. The two of them immediately got into a rickshaw and sped towards the south of the city.
