Chapter 956 Briefing

In May 1939, a few days had passed since the theft of penicillin. According to the agreement reached with Lin Yuan, Zuo Zhong ordered the release of internal restrictions on the Military Control Bureau to give underground party personnel a window to evacuate.

In order to make the play real, he suggested that Dai Chunfeng secretly monitor suspicious personnel to see if he could find out the situation of the underground party in Shancheng, but this suggestion was blocked by Lao Dai, who reasoned that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

This is not like Lao Dai's style. Zuo Zhong speculates that the huge profits from the penicillin transaction may have affected the other party. After all, during the war, the drug business is huge profits, not to mention the buyer is still a big force.

Of course, if one day the risks of drug trading outweigh the benefits obtained from it, Dai Chunfeng will uproot the underground party without hesitation.

Since Lao Dai didn't want to be troublesome, Zuo Zhong agreed after performing a show of "reluctance and reluctance", and then took people to the address left by Lin Yuan, and found a lot of evidence of Zhang Laoqi's spies .

Among the evidence are the layout map of Renxin Hospital, the schematic diagram of the pharmacy freezer, the hospital's guards, weapons and equipment, etc., as well as some low-level military and political information, each of which has Zhang Laoqi's fingerprints on it. ┴ How did the next party do it.

With these evidences, Zhang Laoqi, who could not survive the torture, finally admitted the fact that he is an underground party. Sometimes life is more terrifying than death, especially after many days of torture, the other party only wants to die.

And the "strong underground party fighter" Ji Boxian was beaten to death under the joint interrogation of the two major spy agencies of the Central Command and the Military Command. After his death, he pressed a bloody handprint on the transcript with the help of the spies.

Xu Enzeng was not an idiot. He had already noticed that there might be tricks in the case before that, but there was an order from Mr. Zhu Liu and "assistance" from the military commander, and a deputy director was powerless.

In addition to Zhu Liuxian’s promise that he would speak well for him on the closing record, Xu Enzeng still chose to maximize his interests—by default, the outcome of the case, hello, hello, hello, everyone, this is the way of the government to be an official.

So one day in May, rumors that the government had uncovered┴the secret organization of the underground party spread like wildfire in the mountain city. Someone was happy and offered rewards, and both the Central and Military Commands gained something.

Since coming to the mountain city, especially in the past two months, a certain person feels that he is doing well again. First, the spy hiding in the mansion was caught, and now even the underground party has suffered a major blow. It is really double happiness.

Not only that, after the battle of Jiangcheng last year, the government abandoned the three towns of Jiangcheng. Although the newspaper general Guo Dang scolded him bloody, most of the Guo army's combat power was indeed successfully transferred.

In addition, after the Japanese army occupied Changjiang City with the North Bank of Changjiang as the main axis of attack, they had to face a problem, that is, the supply line was unstable, which increased the difficulty of material transfer.

At the same time, in the final process of attacking the three towns of Changjiang, the Japanese army originally planned to sweep the south bank of Changjiang. As a result, the main attacking force was repeatedly frustrated in Wanjialing, and this tactical purpose was not implemented.

At present, the troops of the Ninth Theater of the National Government still control most of Jiangxi Province, including Poyang Lake, Pingyuan and the surrounding water systems. In addition, the troops of Chief Li of the Fifth Theater are responsible for supporting and covering in Anhui, Hubei and Henan.

This can be said to be a thorn in the back of the Japanese army that captured Changcheng. The Guo army in Changcheng, Gan Province deployed a large number of mines, or used the airport for fighter planes to blast the Japanese logistics line into the water, which hindered the Japanese army's follow-up combat power.

Therefore, after a short rest, the Japanese army first planned to remove the Guojun troops in the middle and lower reaches of Changjiang. Changcheng, the headquarters of the Ninth War Zone and an important water and land transportation center in Jiangxi Province, naturally became the main target of the Japanese offensive.

In mid-March 1939, the Japanese army began to attack Changcheng. The Chinese and Japanese sides fought along the Nanxun, Wuning, Wanjiabu, Anyi, Jing'an, Fengxin, Changcheng urban areas and other places. Finally, the Japanese army broke through the defense line and captured Changcheng. .

Unwilling to fail, the Guo army sent troops to fight back. The two sides fought fiercely in Gao'an, Fengxin, Dacheng, Xishan Longevity Palace, Shengmi Street, Shicha Street, and Huangxi, killing a large number of Japanese troops. Unfortunately, the Guo army suffered too many casualties and had to retreat .

This result was not good, but the Guojun also had some outstanding operations during the period, such as the battle to capture Baishiling in Gaoan, where more than 800 enemies were killed, the remnant enemies in Gaoan City were wiped out, and Fengxin and Jingan counties took the top spot in the battle.

Therefore, even if the national government failed to hold Changcheng in the defense, nor could it regain Changcheng in the counter-offensive, but on the positive side in terms of military and politics, it successfully stabilized the crumbling someone's government after the Battle of Changcheng. right.

Until the first ten days of May, the situation in the national government seemed to improve at once. Someone lost himself in the sound of appointing a wise commander, and even picked up the three-character policy of integration, prevention, and restriction again, and once again targeted the underground party┴ .

But what he didn't know was that every time the government officials met, a female stenographer named Joanna would write down these contents, and then send them to the Northwest through secret channels, which was faster than the government's own telegram.

He participated in military regular meetings several times, and Zuo Zhong met this strange woman. The other party showed a calm and calm expression, not at all like an agent who has not received any intelligence training. It can only be said that this is a kind of talent.

It is worth mentioning that Zuo Zhong discovered that Zhu Liuxian was chatting and laughing with Joanna, pretending to be curious and inquiring about it, only then did he know that the other party was able to enter the government to work as a stenographer, all thanks to Zhu Liuxian's recommendation
In the 24th year of the Republic of China, Joanna entered the Zhejiang Provincial Secretariat as a stenographer. After the war, she moved westward with the team. During the battle of Jiangcheng, she visited her old boss Zhu Liuxian and successfully lurked by someone's side.

hiss.
The old headmaster was afraid that something bad would happen, Zuo Zhong's first reaction after knowing this was that he should find a new headmaster, and by the way, stay away from Zhu Ji first, so as not to be implicated in time, so be prepared.

It wasn't that the students were unfilial, it was a big scapegoat. The few meetings that Zuo Zhong attended alone included top-secret information on the mobilization of frontline troops, the distribution of weapons and ammunition, and intelligence.

Imagine, if someone knew what would happen if these news were leaked, it would be weird. No matter who went to serve in the Central Committee, they would eventually have some wonderful connections with the underground party.

In order to keep a useful body and continue to serve the party and the country, Zuo Zhong kept a certain distance from Zhu Liuxian calmly. Dai Chunfeng was very relieved after knowing this, and felt that his students were still loyal.

Time passed slowly like this for half a month, Zuo Chong sat in his office to check the briefing sent by the second office of the military command, and sighed as he looked at the words "Hanoi Operation Failed" on the report.

After someone Ji published the pornographic report, even though most people sneered at it, many people still agreed with it. This had a considerable impact on the anti-war morale of the people across the country.

In order to weaken the influence of the other party, and the other party has been ruined and there is no threat, someone gave Dai Chunfeng a secret order in early March, asking the military commander to sanction Ji who was hiding in Hanoi.

At that time, Zuo Zhong was busy finishing the Paoge spy case and entertaining Zuo Jun, so Lao Dai handed over the task to his old subordinate, Chen Gongshu, the current head of East China District, and ordered him to lead the team to Hanoi to perform the task.

After Chen Gongshu received the order, he called together 18 people who were the backbone of the operation in East China, established an operation dispatching center in Hong Kong City, and used the military command overseas station to collect information about Ji.

After finding out the target's residence, guards, personnel, etc., Chen Gongshu led a team to fly from Hong Kong to Hanoi, held several concentrated meetings, and began to plan specific action plans for sanctions.

After preliminary observation, the operatives found that there were more than 20 people living in Ji's hiding place. These people never stepped out of the gate, and the food was delivered by Japanese diplomats in Hanoi.

Under such circumstances, Chen Gongshu first rented a nearby house with his Changi passport, and finally saw Mr. Ji and his wife in the target yard a few days later, and the operation entered the second stage of implementation.

One day in mid-March, the operatives found two black cars driving out of Mr. Ji's residence, so they hurriedly followed behind, waiting for an opportunity to take sanctions on the road.

However, Ji's bodyguard was very vigilant and soon discovered that the convoy was being followed. In order to get rid of the following vehicles, the bodyguard chose to drive the car into the downtown area of ​​Hanoi.

That day, there was a serious traffic jam in the center of Hanoi. Several other cars squeezed between the vehicles of Chen Gongshu and others and that of Ji, and the speed dropped to the lowest level.

When crossing a crossroad, the target convoy rushed over at the red light, and the vehicles of the operatives were blocked behind. The first assassination operation failed.

On the second day of the assassination, Ji and his wife seemed to have a dispute. The two quarreled on the lawn of the residence, looking extremely excited, as if they were arguing about something.

The surveillance personnel saw the opportunity and rushed to get the rifle to prepare for sniping, but when they got the gun, the target had already returned to the house, and this good opportunity slipped away from them again.

The two consecutive failures made Chen Gongshu very anxious, and what made him even more worried was that their whereabouts seemed to be discovered by the target's bodyguards and the French, and someone Ji might transfer them.

Therefore, he applied to Dai Chunfeng to directly launch a frontal attack on Ji's residence. This bold plan was approved by Lao Dai, because someone had asked about the progress of this matter several times.

At around 11 o'clock that night, Chen Gongshu led several military reunification agents and marched towards the target's residence in the dark, but they were spotted by two Cochin police detectives, who stopped them and began to question them.

In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Chen Gongshu took out some banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the Cochin police detective. The policeman released the money and returned it immediately, and thoughtfully pointed out the locations of several checkpoints for the operatives.

After dismissing the police detectives, the operatives arrived at the back door of the target's residence. Following Chen Gongshu's order, the spies began to act according to the previous arrangement, climbing over the wall and sneaking in.

Although the spies from the East China region who participated in the operation were all skilled in action, they still made some noises, which alarmed the guards in the house, and immediately there was a not-so-intense exchange of fire between the two sides in the yard.

The reason is that the people in charge of the outer protection are all Cochin people, with a salary of tens of dollars a month, what kind of life is there? After shouting twice, these people threw their guns away, and very wisely squatted on the ground as prisoners.

With the cooperation of the Cochin people, the operatives rushed into the house smoothly. According to the observations in the previous few days, they knew that the target couple usually slept in a bedroom on the north side of the third floor at night.

But on the stairs, they encountered some obstacles. Three unidentified young men took advantage of the terrain to block Chen Gongshu and others. Their actions were very tough and they would not retreat.

Thanks to the proper planning in the East China region, they considered that they would encounter obstacles before the operation. The operators took out the German-made MP18 submachine guns and beat the three people into a hornet's nest after a burst of shooting.

After solving the last obstacle, the operatives came to the door of the room they had detected. Because the door was very heavy and the structure of the door lock was quite complicated, the spies still had no way to get in.

In desperation, Chen Gongshu asked someone to bring a small axe, and successfully opened a small hole in the door. Then through the hole, he saw a man and a woman looking for a hiding place in a panic.

In the dim light, Chen Gongshu determined that the two were the target couple, took out a submachine gun and fired through the small hole in the door. The two people inside the door struggled a few times after being shot and then stopped moving.

At this time, the Cochin police received a report from a neighbor and were rushing to the scene. Hearing the sound of the sirens getting closer, Chen Gongshu gave up identifying the target in desperation and led the people to evacuate in a hurry.

When the operatives returned to the gathering place and began to celebrate the success of the operation, news came from Ji's undercover agent that they had killed the target's secretary, not the target himself.

Zuo Zhong looked at the word "failure" on the document, shook his head and threw it aside. After this incident, he was afraid that someone Ji would become frightened and would speed up to move closer to the Japanese in order to protect himself.

This will definitely have a considerable negative impact on the domestic Anti-Japanese War situation. This action by a certain person and Dai Chunfeng can be regarded as losing his wife and losing his army, but it has nothing to do with him.

He picked up the second document and glanced at it. His originally lazy gaze was fixed, his waist straightened slightly, and he opened the intelligence briefing titled "Investigation Situation of the Black Market in Mountain City" with a serious expression.
