Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

The overall situation in Shanghai has entered a "weird" period of calm again.

Under the leadership of Takeda Yoshihei, the Japanese secret service adopted a "relaxed" attitude towards the Military Intelligence Bureau and did not try every means to attack the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The Military Intelligence Bureau seemed to sense Takeda Yoshihei's good intentions and responded calmly.

From the July 7 Incident to the present, this tactic of the Japanese has become common on the battlefield, and it has been tried and tested and succeeded time and time again. Unfortunately, Zhang Anping is not one of those foolish generals who just muddle through. He naturally knows that every time the Japanese remain silent, they are preparing for a later outbreak.

On the one hand, he took advantage of the Japanese and the puppet government's implementation of the baojia system to "exploit loopholes" and make arrangements; on the other hand, he collected various information through the intelligence system and sharpened his knife to target the Japanese logistics system.

Last year, the Eighth Route Army organized a large-scale counterattack, but the Japanese used the same trick again afterwards. So in August, the Eighth Route Army organized a larger-scale full-line raid. This large-scale military operation of attack and counter-mopping up launched behind enemy lines in North China was the famous Hundred Regiments Campaign in later generations.

Starting from October, the Japanese launched a retaliatory sweep because they had suffered heavy losses and lost face in the Eighth Route Army's attack.

As one of the important rear bases, Shanghai has a steady supply of supplies sent from here to support the front line. Zhang Anping has been suppressing his impulse, waiting to make a big move.

……

Because Shanghai entered a rare period of calm, Japan's logistics department misjudged the situation in Shanghai.

They believed that the main force of resistance elements in Shanghai had been eliminated, so they planned to transport a batch of arms from the mainland to Shanghai, and then transfer them from Shanghai to the front-line troops in North China.

The reason they made such a misjudgment was that the Japanese spy agency in Shanghai reported that 37 espionage cases had been solved in a short period of time and hundreds of resistance elements had been arrested.

This battle report was related to Shi Yimei. After Takeda sent out the report, he realized that he had been treated as a fool. However, at this time, neither he nor the Shanghai Garrison Command was willing to admit that there was a lot of lies in the report, which led to the misjudgment of the logistics department.

You should know that transportation in Shanghai and its surrounding areas is the most developed area. Developed transportation means convenient transportation, which is very important for military logistics.

However, after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, it was always difficult for Shanghai to play the key role of a transportation hub. During the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese stockpiled a huge amount of munitions in Shanghai, but in the end, they were all gone because of a loud bang.

In addition, due to repeated harassment, the transported materials suffered serious losses, so the Japanese logistics department rarely used the Shanghai transportation channel. A huge amount of materials would rather go through the Shandong transportation channel than through Shanghai.

But now that 37 espionage cases have been uncovered, the Japanese logistics department has decided to unfreeze the Shanghai channel and continue the transportation of supplies.

Of course, before that, the Japanese logistics department must have asked the Shanghai Garrison Command:
"We are going to activate this transportation line from Shanghai. Can you guarantee the safety of the supplies?"

In response to this question, the Security Command wanted to say:
"Dear, this place is not safe. How about we go through Shandong instead?"

But they dare not say it!
They had reported that they had cracked 37 espionage cases, and they all patted their chests and guaranteed that the Military Control Commission had suffered a severe blow. Who of them would refuse at this time?
All I could do was to say with tears in my eyes and gritted teeth: "Safe!"

In order to ensure the safety of the transportation line, the Shanghai Garrison Command racked its brains. Not only did it open up a huge freight yard, it also deployed heavy troops and placed a large number of spies of various types. Even the Security Bureau's spy training center was arranged around the freight yard - they were really frightened by the explosion of the Lujiaqiao arsenal group!

Fortunately, this huge cargo yard has been operating safely and without any problems since it was put into use.

Seeing that the Shanghai transportation line was so safe and the losses were far lower than those in Shandong, the Japanese logistics department reduced the landing materials in Shandong and shifted them to Shanghai.

On December 12, after the plan prepared by the Japanese military logistics department was approved by the China Expeditionary Army Command, a plan called "Gun Operation" was officially implemented.

The main purpose of this work is to replace equipment for the front-line troops in North China.

In the past, the Japanese army gave priority to replacing equipment for the front-line troops facing the National Army, but now they are struggling on the front battlefield, and the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area has launched the Hundred Regiments Campaign. Faced with the current situation that the Eighth Route Army can "take out" 105 regiments from their occupied areas, the Japanese army must replace the equipment of the second-line troops so that they will not suffer losses in terms of equipment.

This is the background of [Gunwork].

……

"Takeda-kun, gun work is very important. I hope the special intelligence agency can guard the first line of defense and don't let me become a joke among my colleagues!"

Takeda Yoshihei's expression became serious: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely ensure that the [gun operation] goes smoothly in Shanghai!"

"I believe in Takeda-kun."

After getting out of the security headquarters by car, the confident Takeda Yoshihei looked worried.

He tried to act confidently at the beginning, but now the consequences have finally come to him.

The Military Control Commission's Loyal Rescue Army, which consists of nearly 10,000 people, was sometimes dispersed and sometimes gathered together, and repeated raids had been ineffective. With such an elite armed force in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, problems would sooner or later arise in the gun operation in Shanghai!
He felt sad. There is an old Chinese saying: A thief can only steal for a thousand days, but you cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days.

The gun work is a continuous arms transportation work, and he really can't ensure that there will be no problems in any link.

But in front of the commander, he couldn't give in and could only force himself to make a promise.

But...how to operate it?
Takeda Yoshihei was worried.

……

Jiang Sian looked at the report in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He didn't expect that just after he secretly discovered that the Japanese were preparing an arms transfer plan, he was contacted by people from the Japanese logistics department, who asked the Okamoto Company's fleet to cooperate with the gun work to transport supplies - to cooperate with the navy's transport team to transport a large number of weapons and equipment from Nagasaki to Shanghai.

He secretly calculated based on the information he had, and found that the total number of weapons and equipment that needed to be transported for this gun operation would probably be enough to replace the equipment of more than 200,000 troops.

"It looks like it was indeed prepared for the Japanese troops fighting our army in North China!"

[This is not a replacement of new weapons. Weapons have a service life. In a state of war, the loss of weapons is also very large. It is impossible for a soldier to use only one rifle. ]

Jiang Sian muttered secretly:
"We must find a way to get rid of this batch of arms. We can't let the devils use these to cause trouble in my base!"

He then decided to ask his superiors to hand over this information to the Military Intelligence Bureau, and have the Military Intelligence Bureau carry out the sabotage - in Shanghai, the underground party's operational capabilities were several orders of magnitude lower than those of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The underground party was unable to do it, but the Military Intelligence Bureau might not be able to do it.

The original Lujiaqiao arsenal complex was theoretically foolproof, but what was the result?

As a result of being destroyed by the Military Control Commission, the Japanese logistics department did not dare to use Shanghai as a transportation hub for a long time.

……

Jiang Sian's request was passed to Lao Cen through Lao Yang. After Lao Cen saw it, he immediately went to find Jiang Sian's superior in the Military Control Commission...

"Comrade Anping, this is the information sent by Jiang Si'an, take a look."

Zhang Anping took the intelligence and started reading it. After reading it, he said, "I've heard rumors about it. I'll take this job!"

No matter how careful the Japanese were, Zhang Anping had received relevant information during the preparation stage of the gun operation - he initially thought it was an assassination attempt against our personnel, but he did not expect it to be a re-equipment plan for the Japanese troops in North China.

Our Eighth Route Army predecessors were fighting fiercely against the Japanese on the battlefield behind enemy lines. How could they allow the Japanese to change their clothes safely?

"I'm afraid this won't be easy!" Lao Cen said with some concern: "The operational forces in your hands have all been withdrawn from Shanghai. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice!"

"Why would I do it in Shanghai?" Zhang Anping said with a smile, "This thing has to leave Shanghai anyway. It's only 300 kilometers from Shanghai to Nanjing. There are many places I can do it."

"It's more than a few million kilometers from Nanjing." Old Cen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm too narrow-minded."

He always focuses on Shanghai, but Zhang Anping has more than just Shanghai in his eyes!
"Let Jiang Sian give me the information." Zhang Anping did not tease Lao Cen, but smiled and said, "Since Takeda took office, I haven't given him any gifts!"

Lao Cen was a little speechless. You haven't given Takeda Yoshihei a gift yet? Shi Yimei, No. 76, triple identity, public opinion war, Takeda hasn't digested these gifts yet!

Since Zhang Anping was determined to "take the job" and would not act rashly, Lao Cen had no reason to refuse. After returning, he told Jiang Si'an through Lao Yang:

can.

Jiang Sian then passed the information to Zhang Anping through the Military Control Commission's courier.

There were actually two reasons why Zhang Anping decided to engage in the fighting. The first was for the Eighth Route Army. On the battlefield in North China, the Eighth Route Army was fighting against the Japanese army's retaliatory raids. At this time, if the enemy was weakened a little, the pressure on the Eighth Route Army would be relieved a little.

Second, he planned to take the overall situation into consideration and draw a large number of troops from the Third War Zone to cooperate with him.

It is now late December, and in less than half a month, the Southern Anhui Incident, which will bring both grief to the loved ones and joy to the enemies, will occur.

According to his intelligence, the Third War Zone had already begun mobilizing troops to set up pockets.

He planned to use the excuse of cooperating with the work of destroying guns as an excuse to find ways to mobilize the troops involved in the Southern Anhui Incident.

In the final analysis, it is a simple choice between two options:

Are you targeting the weapons that the Japanese can use to equip more than 200,000 devil soldiers, or a group of armed forces who are fighting against the Japanese like you?

He usually did not ask for permission from the Chongqing Bureau headquarters before doing anything, and most of the time he just did it first.

But this time, after Jiang Sian's information was delivered, he sent a request telegram to the Chongqing Bureau Headquarters for the first time.

……

Chongqing, Bureau Headquarters.

After reading the urgent telegram sent by the Telecommunications Office, Old Dai sighed:
"This kid is getting more and more outrageous! Now he's even ordering me around!"

What he commented on was naturally Zhang Anping's telegram.

In this telegram, Zhang Anping probably meant:

The Japanese have prepared a gun project with the aim of replacing equipment for hundreds of thousands of troops in North China. Sea transportation has already begun and the equipment will arrive in Shanghai soon.

According to the current situation and the level of attention paid by the Japanese, there is no chance to destroy this large amount of munitions in Shanghai.

I want to find an opportunity to deal with this batch of arms within the distance between Shanghai and Nanjing, and I would like to ask the headquarters to authorize me to mobilize nearby troops.

The reason why Old Dai was so emotional was because of Zhang Anping's request for authorization to mobilize troops.

Are you kidding? He is just a major general. How can he have the power to mobilize troops? This is clearly asking him to run to the attendant's room to ask for instructions!
If it were someone else, Lao Dai would only reply:

Screw you! Stop dreaming!
Because he didn't believe that anyone could destroy so much munitions under the Japanese's close vigilance!

But this is Zhang Anping!

It’s no exaggeration to say that the Lujiaqiao arsenal complex in Shanghai is made of iron and bronze, right?

No one could believe that there would be a bomb there!
But Zhang Anping did it!
Therefore, facing Zhang Anping's solemn request, Old Dai was finally tempted - if this was completed, he could show off in front of the captain and let the captain comment again:
One person can defeat a German-equipped division!

After thinking about the wording, Old Dai took a car to the attendant's room to ask for instructions.

"Gunwork? Reequipping at least 300,000 people? North China?"

"This is to re-equip the Japanese troops in North China!"

The attendant room immediately realized the core purpose of the gun's work.

Old Dai nodded: "Yes, the fighting in North China has been fierce recently. The Japanese should want to replace the equipment of the second-line Japanese troops (Type B divisions) - the second-line Japanese troops use the weapons and equipment replaced by the first-line troops, and these weapons are badly worn out."

The attendant room fell into deep thought.

He probably understood Zhang Anping's idea: to weaken the enemy's defense by mobilizing troops from the three war zones and find opportunities to achieve the goal.

But the Third War Zone is currently implementing one of his plans. If he agrees to it, it will have a serious impact on the current plan!

The Communist Army has deployed 105 regiments in North China. What if we allow them to continue to cause trouble in Jiangnan and deploy another 105 regiments in Jiangnan?
After thinking it over, the attendant gritted his teeth and said, "No! I have a plan for the troops in the third war zone, and they cannot be easily transferred!"

"Tell Zhang Anping that I don't have any soldiers to send to him, but I believe in his ability and he will definitely achieve his goal!"

Old Dai was very disappointed when he heard this. He let the horse run without giving it grass. Do you think he can do it?

But since the attendant room had made a decision, he could only obey, and promised: "I will definitely urge the Beijing-Shanghai District to complete the mission!"

……

Shanghai.

Zhang Anping sighed secretly after receiving a call back from the bureau headquarters.

Given the choice between the two, they chose the latter.

He could only smile bitterly at this, in fact he had already expected this result.

After all, it is still hard to say whether this batch of arms can be seized, but in the eyes of the attendant room, the New Fourth Army is probably a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eyes, and now they are just waiting to take the bait!
But Zhang Anping still felt sad. At this moment when the Japanese were deploying heavy troops to sweep North China, why couldn't they think of finding the right opportunity to strike a fatal blow?
Well, he did prepare a killer move, but this killer move was for his own people!

After the sadness, he pulled himself together and turned his previous idea into a plan:

Continuing to choose between the two, between the nearly 10,000 Loyal Rescue Army and the nearly 10,000 New Fourth Army, which one will the National Government choose?

After this plan appeared in his mind, Zhang Anping couldn't help but take deep breaths again and again.

Taking deep breaths again and again made his body numb, but his mind became clearer.

This operation works!

The only thing that needs to be prepared is the backup plan - if the Nationalist government chooses the latter, then the Zhongjiu Army must have the ability to jump out of the sea of ​​fire on their own, rather than really becoming dumplings for the Japanese! (End of this chapter)
