Chapter 762 New Journey

On the morning of July 1937, 7.

Zuo Zhong hurried to the rest house in the Central Military Academy with the information, and saw a tired Dai Chunfeng in the reception room.

"Shen Mo, you are finally here. You have just received a report from Beiping that the Japanese are attacking Lugou Bridge and Wanping City.

Due to the fact that some front-line troops were not fully prepared, coupled with the lack of personnel and heavy weapons and equipment, the battle was very difficult. "

As soon as the two met, Lao Dai explained the current situation with a sad face, then glanced outside the door, and revealed in a low voice.

"Beiping is besieged on three sides, Lugou Bridge and Wanping are close to the Han line, which is the only way to the south, and these important places cannot be lost.

The chairman was very anxious when he learned that the war situation was unfavorable, and immediately asked the Military Commission to study and judge the conflict and analyze the purpose of the Japanese.

And ordered us to find out the whole story of the exchange of fire between China and Japan, and focus on investigating whether there was any third-party instigation in this matter, such as the underground party.

If there is any specific information from Beiping Station, you will report it from the beginning to the end first, and then follow me to meet the leader later. "

The purpose of judging the Japanese?

Check the underground party?

Hearing this, Zuo Chong was speechless, the enemy's guns were all on his forehead, and someone still had unrealistic fantasies about the Japanese.

The other party dispatched so many troops, could it be that they came for a spring outing? How could a head of state make such childish and absurd remarks.

At this time, he didn't want to find a way to contain the Japanese attack. Instead, he doubted this and that, fearing that the syphilis had attacked his brain and caused him to lose his mind.

Otherwise, if you want to make a fuss about foreign affairs, you must first make yourself mad by Anne, otherwise, no matter how stupid you are, you will know that now is not the time to fight.

Such a thing that hurts the loved ones and makes the enemy happy,

Unwise people can do.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zuo Zhong's mind, he suppressed his anger, and explained the actions of the Japanese in detail.

"Last night, part of the Japanese Riverside Brigade set off from Fengtai and headed north of the Lugou Bridge, that is, the line from Huilongmiao to Dawayao for live ammunition exercises.

According to the information we have obtained, the content of the exercise is to approach the defenders' positions at dusk and launch a surprise attack at dawn.

Three hours after the exercise started, that is, around eleven o'clock, the Japanese side said that a soldier disappeared around our position.

The other party used this excuse to ask to enter Wanping County for a search, but the defenders sternly refused, and the two sides entered a confrontation.

At about 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Taijiro Matsui, the head of the Japanese Secret Service in Peiping, notified the Peking side by phone, requesting another search.

We refused on the grounds that it was late at night, the Japanese soldiers entering the city might cause local unrest, and most of the people had fallen asleep and could not cooperate.

Soon after, Matsui stated that if our side did not allow it, the Japanese army would conduct a forcible search, and the Japanese side would not be responsible for the losses caused thereby.

In order to prevent the situation from expanding, the 4th District of Hebei Province, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Hebei-Chahar Political Affairs Committee, and the Hebei-Chahar Appeasement Office sent personnel to negotiate with the Japanese side.

As a result, before five o'clock, the Riverside Brigade suddenly bombarded Wanping violently with infantry artillery. The defenders had no choice but to fight back.

To sum up, it can be preliminarily determined that the exchange of fire had nothing to do with the underground party, and the Japanese had already made preparations before the conflict. "

"Oh? Why don't I know."

Hearing this, Dai Chunfeng frowned and asked, he didn't remember that the Secret Service sent relevant information, could it be that someone was playing tricks.

Zuo Zhong opened his mouth. The information had already been handed in, but Lao Dai didn't reply. Who could be blamed for this, so he had no choice but to explain.

"You can ask Li Qiwu, he is the director's secretary, and according to the bureau's procedures, he is responsible for the transfer of all official documents.

However, Director Li is busy with work, so it is understandable that he failed to tell you the information in time. Teacher, please don't be angry. "

Mistakes and omissions of important information, this matter must be handled by someone else, and Dai Chunfeng cannot be held responsible. Li Qiwu is the most suitable.

Can take the blame for the chief,
What a blessing that is.

Li Qiwu has to thank him.

Zuo Zhong calmly put on a pair of small shoes for the other party, and then changed the topic, and narrated the information he had collected from various places.

In March, the Japanese Combined Fleet and the Third Fleet stationed in Shanghai sailed into the coast of Daocheng to conduct landing combat exercises with the government as the imaginary enemy.

In April, the Japanese Navy Command dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel to investigate the port of Tanggu, Jinmen;
In May, a brigade of the Kwantung Army marched into Rehe for defense.

In June, Konoe Fumimaro came to power to form a cabinet, claiming to "unify the whole country".

That month, Japan's so-called Chinese garrison troops conducted live ammunition exercises day and night in the suburbs of Pingjin.

At the end of June and the beginning of July, some Japanese soldiers released rumors that on the night of July 6th, the incident like Liutiaogou would be repeated in North China.

Dai Chunfeng felt something was wrong when he heard it. He had indeed read the information, and thought it was normal, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, he suffered two big somersaults some time ago and didn't have time to pay attention to trivial matters. Who knew that this was a sign that the Japanese would do something.

Luckily, Shen finally found a good excuse, otherwise the chairman would be very difficult to explain, and the crime of dereliction of duty is not light.

Lao Dai glanced at the proud disciple very satisfied, nodded his head slightly, then suddenly his expression changed, and he let out a cold snort.

"Hmph, this Li Qiwu is really a rotten piece of wood that can't be carved, it's just that he makes mistakes usually, and this kind of head-losing thing also loses the chain.

In my opinion, his chief secretary has gone too far, Shen Mo, remember to remind me when you go back, you must severely punish this person once.

If not, I really want to transfer him to the northwest to be with Tang Cong and Zhao Lijun as companions. These three bastards are all the same trash. "

Dai Chunfeng scolded Li Qiwu, but when he said the last sentence, he was a bit vague, as if there was something hidden in it.

"Good teacher."

Zuo Zhong replied respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he suspected that Lao Dai might have an important task for Li Qiwu to complete, so he let him go.

The problem is that only when the underground party is involved, Lao Dai will act so cautiously to avoid leaking secrets, but why should he hide it from himself.

He didn't doubt that Lao Dai already knew his true identity, and then sent Li Qiwu to investigate secretly. This possibility is unlikely.

After such a long time, even if he was exposed, Dai Chunfeng would at most secretly assassinate him, and it would be impossible to bring this matter to light.

The reason is simple: your student is an underground party spy, and he has climbed to such a high position, so will you have the same problem?

Unless Dai Chunfeng wanted to be suspected by the bald head, or wanted to give the handle to the ambitious Li Qiwu, he would not do such a stupid thing.

Besides, tracking and monitoring required professionals. As the deputy director of the Secret Service, no one could bypass him, not even Lao Dai.

Then there is only one possibility, Li Qiwu is acting alone, and there is a high probability that it is related to the underground party, and the degree of secrecy is extremely high.

There are weird,
requires attention.

Zuo Zhong kept this matter in his heart, and decided to investigate it carefully. He didn't like the feeling of being out of control, it was too unsafe.

Who knows if "Tiu Chan" will be found in the end. In this business, all the signs of danger must be nipped in the bud.

Because once you relax your vigilance, the scythe of death will approach quietly, and it will be too late to regret it after the noose is around your neck.

What made him feel even more uneasy was Li Qiwu, a poisonous snake. He was so cruel and merciless that it was extremely difficult to deal with him. Zuo Zhong couldn't help feeling a bit murderous.

MD,

Sooner or later, get rid of this bitch.

At this moment, Dai Chunfeng seemed to have thought of something, frowned and asked, "Shen Mo, do you have any information about Matsui Tajiro.

Wasn't the Aoki Mansion the original Japanese intelligence agency in North China? When did another spy agency stationed in Peiping pop up.

Also, what is the reaction of high-level Japanese officials to the exchange of fire, and have your eyeliners in mainland Japan obtained any relevant information.

If you don't have it, you should collect it as soon as possible. If the chairman asks, you and I will be speechless. Wouldn't it make others look down on the Secret Service. "

"Look at it."

Zuo Zhong, who had been prepared for a long time, handed over a secret document, and after Lao Dai opened it, he lowered his voice and began to answer the first question.

"Tashiro Matsui, born in 1887, from Fukuoka Prefecture, graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy in 1910, and graduated from the Army University in 1917.

Served as the adjutant of the No.12 Division and the staff officer of the China Section of the General Staff Headquarters. He came to China to join the Kwantung Army in 1921 and transferred to the Korean Army the following year.

In the first half of this year, he just took over as the head of the Beiping Secret Service. This agency was established temporarily, and its activities are very low-key, and few people know about it.

We only learned that the Japanese have such a secret intelligence organization after the other party disclosed their identities. This is the dereliction of duty of the students. "

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Lao Dai to deal with it. The Secret Service did have a lot of eyeliners, but it was impossible to know everything.

After receiving the information from Beiping Station, he immediately launched an investigation on Matsui, and managed to find the other party's information through various channels.

"nice."

Dai Chunfeng closed the file and smiled. It was not easy to find so much information about the target in such a short period of time.

Compared with other departments of the national government, this work is surprisingly efficient. With these, I am enough to give the chairman an explanation.

As for the more detailed situation of Taijiro Matsui, don't worry, as long as the war does not end, they will always have a chance to learn more about it.

Lao Dai put away the documents and signaled Zuo Zhong to continue reporting. The response of the Japanese high-level officials was very important and determined the follow-up direction of the conflict.

It's war and peace,

It depends on how the Japanese choose.

Zuo Zhong on the opposite side received the signal, and immediately said: "The Ministry of the Japanese Army and the General Staff Headquarters held a joint agreement meeting an hour ago.

Attending the meeting was Moto Sugiyama, who succeeded Yoshiyuki Kawashima, who was not firm in his stance during the February [-] Incident, and became the new Minister of War.

And Chief of Staff Headquarters Operation Department Kanji Ishihara, Chief of the Military Affairs Section Kenshiro Shibayama, and Chief of the War Guidance Section Toranoshiro Kawabe.

Chief of Staff Jae-in did not attend the meeting, and our intelligence personnel were unable to detect the other party's whereabouts. It is presumed that he should be in the palace.

In addition, the Japanese team of the intelligence department reported that about 4 second-year soldiers who were preparing to be demobilized by the Japanese army in the near future received orders to postpone their demobilization.

The Third Fleet, which was exercising in Xiaoliuqiu, removed all the gun covers before dawn, fired and pulled anchors, and returned to its home port in Shanghai.

The lights on the floor where the Operations Department of the General Staff Headquarters was located stayed on all night, and even the cigarettes in the grocery store outside were sold out.

This is all the situation we have so far. Teacher, I think the other party may expand the conflict and launch a full-scale war. "

He wanted to remind the senior officials of the government through Dai Chunfeng's channel. As for whether it would be useful, he could only say that he was doing his best and obeying the destiny.

"Shhh, be careful!"

Old Dai was taken aback when he heard this. They only provided information and could not make decisions for the chairman of the committee. If others heard this, they would suffer.

He was about to teach Zuo Zhong what it means to be wise and protect one's life, when a guard came in outside the house and called them both to go to accept the bald head's summons.

Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong hurriedly arranged their appearances, followed the visitor out of the reception room, and walked cautiously to the study on the second floor of Qilu.

After half an hour, Zuo Zhong walked out of the room backwards first, closed the door gently and walked down the stairs slowly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

After listening to the report, the bald head only made one request, that is to let Zuo Zhong set off immediately, not to North China, but to Shanghai.

If the Japanese want to invade the Republic of China in an all-round way, the easiest route is to land from Shanghai, and then go straight to Jinling along the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The reason why he was sent there was to look for relevant information and provide intelligence support for the mobilization of the large Guojun troops, so as to better deploy their defenses.

Today is July 7th, and there is still about a month before the battle of Songhu begins. Going there now is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap.

But there are some things that have to be done by someone. Zuo Zhong pushed open the luxurious door of the Qilu without hesitation, and embarked on a new journey.

(The engagement ceremony will be held tomorrow, and it is also my birthday. I may have to take a day off. It is 11:55 p.m., and I am in bed.)
　If the object agrees, send an engagement photo later, good night.
