Chapter 761 Family Letter
1937 7 Month 5 Day.

The secret service building was busy, the phone rang one after another, and the secret agents with documents in their hands were hurrying with serious expressions.

Since the reorganization of the intelligence system began a few months ago, internal adjustments and personnel changes in dozens of regional stations, things have been complicated.

The people at the headquarters will naturally not be relaxed, and the work intensity will increase a lot. After all, it is not easy to involve official positions in the Republic of China.

And after entering July, the frequency of Japanese activities in the Republic of China suddenly increased, and the spies and traitors were making trouble everywhere like crazy.

This situation made the national government very nervous. Under the request of high-level officials, information from various channels was quickly gathered to the secret service.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Gu Qi, chief intelligence officer, and Song Minghao, deputy chief, came to Zuo Zhong's office together, both of them looked a bit ugly.

"Deputy Director, something went wrong."

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Qi handed out a copy of the latest information on the situation in North China sent by Chen Gongshu at the Beiping station, and reported anxiously.

"At present, the north, east, and south sides of Beiping have been controlled by the Japanese army, and the north side is a part of the Kwantung Army deployed in Rehe and Chadong.

To the northwest are the 8 divisions of the Puppet Mongolian Army with about 4 people controlled by the Kwantung Army, and to the east are the security forces of the puppet "East Hebei Anti-Communist Autonomous Government".

To the south, the Japanese army's strength in Fengtai suddenly doubled. Due to the strength gap, a small number of defenders were disengaged. "

After Gu Qi finished speaking, Song Minghao and Song Minghao lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads. Everyone is an expert and knows exactly what this information represents.

"Oh!"

"Disengagement?"

"This is a deserter."

Zuo Zhong got up and slammed the table hard, shouting angrily: "How dare you abandon your position and run away without the order of the Military Commission.

Once Beiping is lost, the situation in the whole of the north will soon collapse, and countless people will be displaced. Don't these bastards know it?

No wonder the underground party said that our retreat is as fast as the wind, our outflanking is like a forest, our robbery and invasion are like fire, and our friendly troops are in trouble like a mountain.

I really didn't wrong them. I quickly checked the report with the Beiping Military Commission. If I guessed correctly, the Japanese were about to attack. "

There are only two days left until July [-]th, and under the influence of the butterfly effect, Zuo Zhong is not sure whether the little devil will act in advance.

To be on the safe side, it is best to prepare for combat in advance, at least so that the army in North China will not be at a loss when faced with an attack.

"Yes."

Gu Qi was the first to straighten his chest, and then glanced at Song Minghao. After hesitating for a while, Song Minghao took out a document to report.

"Deputy Director, in November, in order to support the fighting in the Suiyuan area, the underground party in Hebei Province formed a union to comfort the soldiers in the front.

Members are composed of chambers of commerce, lawyers' unions, student associations, business managers, journalists and other people from all walks of life.

After the establishment of the Federation, it organized workers, businessmen, lawyers, students, and women to collect donations many times, which had a great impact.

The wives and young ladies of some upper-class figures in Peking also joined the women's fundraising team, including members of parliament and family members of powerful people in the army.

More than a dozen staff members of the Zhengtai Railway Bureau's clerical department compiled and printed leaflets and made a "comforting Sui" banner to condolences to the frontline soldiers.

At the same time, each of these people donated a day's wages, and a total of 1000 yuan was sent to the troops in Suiyuan, and there were many discussions among the people.

After receiving the donation, the defenders immediately replied to thank you, saying that I would like to accept the remittance from your bureau. I have learned that the patriotic enthusiasm is used to boost morale, and I would like to accept it.

The officers and men of the entire army must act in the spirit of loyalty, benevolence and trust, serve the battlefield, sacrifice for the country, never step back, and never let the Japanese succeed. "

The words are nice,

But it's just nice to hear.

With a gloomy face, Zuo Zhong reprimanded with his hands on his hips: "Lawless! It's simply lawless, what qualifications does the underground party have to condolence Guo Jun.

Let North China and Beiping stand up, get rid of all those dissidents, let them plan carefully, and don't let anyone go.

In the face of a national crisis, we cannot allow the red head to corrupt people's hearts. Last time the leader was humiliated in Chang'an, this old man will have revenge one day. "

He patted his bald-headed flattery, and after finishing speaking, he drove Gu Qi and Song Minghao out, and took out his mobile phone from the space when it was time to contact.

"There are changes in North China, and the personnel will be withdrawn immediately."

A telegram was sent to Old K, who ordered North China not to act rashly in the near future, leaving plenty of time for the underground party to retreat.

The reason why Zuo Zhong issued such an order just now was to pretend to need it, and to find a reason for the underground party to leave Beiping as soon as possible.

He can't tell his partner that the war will break out on the 7th, what to do if the old K asks the reason, this is the safest way to deal with it.

After sending the telegram, he looked at the calendar and fell silent. In a few dozen hours, the darkest hour of the Chinese nation is coming.

People like myself may not live to the day of victory, but as long as they can contribute to the nation, they will die without regret.

Be an unsung hero,
Also good.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhong spread out the letter paper, unscrewed the cap of the pen, pondered for a moment and wrote a letter home to his family in New Zealand to explain what happened afterward.

In the quiet office, the tip of the golden pen kept rustling on the snow-white paper, and he wrote down the thoughts in his heart one by one.

"My brother, my sister, the Japanese have coveted China for a long time, and there must be a war between the two sides. As a brother and a soldier, it is our duty to protect our family and our country.

At this last juncture of life and death, everyone should make up their minds to sacrifice and strive for the final victory with the spirit of failure or benevolence.

In case of misfortune, I only regret that I can't stay at the knees of my grandfather and parents to fulfill my filial piety, and I will take care of the two of you in the affairs of the family, so don't slack off.

Don't blame your elder brother either. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. Leaders and mentors pull me to the bottom.

Remember, you should learn the science and technology of the Westerners, serve the party and the country, build the country, and glorify the lintel of the Zuo family. Brother Zuo Chong left his words. "

As the deputy director of the Secret Service, he knew that all letters sent abroad would be subject to postal inspection, and it would be better if he didn't show his loyalty at this time.

In addition, he only told his younger siblings a few words, and never left a last word to the three elders in the family, because it was meaningless.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man,

this pain,

No amount of talking will help.

And there is no need to mention those deposits in several foreign banks, and the Zuo family is not short of the tens of thousands of dollars in wealth.

He was going to find an opportunity to hand over these properties to the organization. After the underground party lost its base, the economic situation was not optimistic.

Although the government promised to allocate some funds to the Northwest after the start of the Sino-Japanese War, you can know that this is impossible.

It is better to donate those people's fat and people's ointment from the bank than to put them in the bank to make foreigners cheaper. Maybe they can kill a few more devils.

After finishing the last stroke, Zuo Chong sealed the envelope and placed it on the table, then walked slowly to the window, looking out of the window in a daze.

Downstairs, a group of young spies who had just joined the Secret Service marched in line under the leadership of the instructor, singing a familiar song.

"Down with the great powers, down with the great powers, get rid of the warlords, get rid of the warlords."

"Work hard for the national revolution, work hard for the national revolution, fight together, fight together."

The young people were full of enthusiasm and sang the "National Revolution Song" loudly, and time seemed to go back to five years ago.

In the 21st year of the Republic of China, Zuo Zhong came to this era through the sound of this song, and started his intelligence career in a daze.

In the past few years, he has killed many enemies, and many of his subordinates have been killed by the enemy. Human life is the most worthless consumable in intelligence warfare.

Now this group of newcomers seems to be repeating his path. I don't know how many of them will survive after the victory of the war with the Japanese.

Zuo Zhong silently watched the queue go away, picked up the envelope and strode out of the office. This battle is about the survival of the nation, and there is absolutely no reason to back down.

It is said that success does not have to be with me, but success must be with me. As he silently recited these words in his heart, his steps became more firm.

Two days later.

July 7 at nine o'clock in the evening.

Zuo Zhong and his men stood in a room, and in front of them was a row of telegraphers who were operating the radio station, and the sound of keys came and went.

These best communication talents in the Republic of China either moved their fingers slightly or listened carefully, and had no time to pay attention to the deputy director behind them.

They received orders before they came, and they didn't have to worry about anything except their own work, no matter who came.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a piece of top-secret information from Beiping Station was translated, the content was about the movements of the Japanese army outside the city.

A radio operator took off his earphones, trotted over to Zuo Zhong, and saluted: "Report, there is a change in the riverside brigade stationed in Fengtai.

The Eighth Squadron of the Third Brigade of the First Wing is currently conducting military exercises in the area north of the Lugou Bridge led by the squadron leader.

Confronting them was the 29th Regiment of the No.30 Seventh Division of Wanping's [-]th Army. There has not been a large-scale bloody conflict between the two sides. "

No conflict yet?

That's just an illusion.

Zuo Zhong folded his arms and nodded, telling the operator to go back and continue receiving the report. He believed that there would be news from Peking soon.

The actions of the Japanese are exactly the same as in history. If there is no accident, the devils will use the excuse of embarrassment to attack Wanping later.

This reminded him of the mysterious disappearance of Hideaki Miyamoto, the former Japanese Deputy Consul General in China, which was really nothing new.

It is enough to use the same method once, but to use it twice is to treat others as fools, which shows how arrogant the Japanese are.

Eleven o'clock in the evening.

A new piece of intelligence was sent, and as expected, the Japanese army claimed that a soldier had left and disappeared during the exercise, and wanted to search Wanping.

The matter was of great importance, Zuo Zhong looked at the telegram, immediately picked up the phone to call Lao Dai's number, and formally reported to Teacher Cheap.

After hearing this, Dai Chunfeng said that he would immediately go to Xilu to meet the bald head. Before that, the staff of the Secret Service in Beiping must exercise restraint.

He knows his student too well. If he didn't say this, the other party would dare to poke a hole in the sky. It's not like this happened.

On the other side, Zuo Zhong hung up the phone helplessly, but there was no response after waiting for a long time, so he had to raise his hand over and over again to check the time.

2 points in the early hours.

No.20 Deputy Commander of the Ninth Army and Mayor of Beiping In order to prevent the situation from expanding, after an agreement with the Japanese side, the two sides sent personnel to Wanping to investigate.

But the cunning Japanese army took advantage of the negotiation and launched a fierce attack on Wanping County at 4:50, and seized the Shagang in the northeast of Wanping.

The [-]th regiment couldn't bear it anymore and decided to fight back. The first shot of the Sino-Japanese full-scale conflict was fired, and the war finally broke out.
