My spy diary

Chapter 352 Nirvana Plan (asking for monthly ticket)

Late at night, Zhang Yi was not asleep.

He felt relieved when he received the report from Monkey and Qian Xiaosan about the successful capture.

Just as he lay down, he was awakened by a rapid phone call, urgently notifying him to go to No. 19 Luojiawan for a meeting.

Zhang Yi had a premonition that this late-night meeting must be unusual and was most likely related to the Red Party.

While he was on his way to Luojia Bay, another report was being conducted quietly in Dai Chunfeng's office.

The "Nirvana Plan" planned by Secretary He Shangyou is now placed on Boss Dai's desk.

He Shangyou said seriously, "Director, that's it. I have already drawn up the detailed steps and content of the plan, and I have made some major adjustments to the personnel list compared to last time. Now we just need your order to implement it."

Dai Chunfeng looked through the plan and nodded approvingly:

"That sounds good, very good. Who else knows about this?"

"My secretary, but don't worry, he only knows the belly of the fish, not the belly of the fish, and he doesn't even know that he is in the plan. Besides."

Seeing that He Shangyou was hesitant to speak, Dai Chunfeng raised his eyebrows:
"What else?"

“It’s still a safety issue.”

He Shangyou looked melancholy. "The Red Party's spies have always been powerful. Although the 'mermaid' has temporarily disappeared, in order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, I have some new ideas."

“Yes, although some things have no target or evidence, their existence is a warning.

It reminds us all that even at the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, everyone wears the same uniform, but no one knows who is hiding something under the uniform.

"So this time I'm going to give him a bait he can't refuse."

Dai Chunfeng tapped the table thoughtfully, waiting for his next words.

"This is what I think." He Shangyou said, "I want to make two Nirvana plans, one real and one fake. I will build a plank road in the open to lure fish into the bait, and then sneak through Chencang in secret."

"What about it?"

"I have received an American-imported safe from the General Affairs Office. I will spread the word that the Nirvana Plan is in the safe. As long as that person takes action, he will fall into the trap I have set."

"Sit back and wait?" Dai Chunfeng was a little hesitant. He thought about it and asked:
"Do you think he'll take the bait?"

He Shangyou thought for a moment and asked, "What does the Director mean?"

"The plan is good, but it needs to be improved. Like this..." Dai Chunfeng waved his hand, and He Shangyou understood and moved over. The two men's voices gradually became lower.

When Zhang Yi hurried to No. 19 Luojiawan, he met He Shangyou unexpectedly in the corridor. Seeing him coming out of Dai Chunfeng's office with a happy face, he guessed that the old guy must be planning some conspiracy again.

The two looked at each other silently and stepped into the brightly lit conference room almost at the same time.

At this time, He Zhiyuan, Wei Daming, Shen Xishan and other directors of other departments had already arrived. Although there were more than a dozen people sitting in the huge conference room, it was completely silent.

When Zhang Yi quietly walked to the Operations Department's He Zhiyuan and sat down, he saw Dai Chunfeng, dressed in military uniform, striding in.

Everyone stood up.

Dai Chunfeng walked to the main seat, and with a sharp look he scanned the people present. Suddenly he smiled and said:
"I have good news for you all. Just a few hours ago, more than 80,000 warriors from our Third War Zone have surrounded the New Fourth Army. The battle has already begun. It will only take time to annihilate them."

In an instant, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze.

Everyone was stunned, and after they realized what was happening, they all showed surprise on their faces, and some even cheered.

Everyone began to whisper to each other, excitedly discussing the good news, and the entire conference room was immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

"This should have been done a long time ago. The Battle of Huangqiao made the National Army lose face," someone said indignantly.

"The New Fourth Army's combat effectiveness is not weak. Can we annihilate them?"

"Nonsense, 80,000 people against 10,000 people, a spit from each of them can drown them all."

"The Japanese invaders are on the decline, so we have time to deal with the Red Party. I think we should not only attack the New Fourth Army, but also

Everyone was talking about their opinions on the matter, and they were eager to launch a full-scale attack on the Red Party's territory at that moment. Zhang Yi agreed with a happy face, but his heart was extremely depressed.

Why are we fighting against each other in the same family?!

Following the fall of Northeast China and North China, Central China and South China also fell one after another since the full-scale war of resistance. After several years of desperate fighting with the enemy, the national army finally stopped its retreat on the front battlefield.

But as the battlefield situation changed, the national army's countermeasures also began to change from top to bottom.

The battle series changed from the previous all-army attack to one-third used on the front battlefield, one-third in training in the rear, and one-third into the enemy's rear to carry out guerrilla warfare.

The Nationalist government deployed a large number of miscellaneous troops that were not strong enough to confront the Japanese army head-on in enemy-occupied areas, and insisted on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, hoping to delay, consume and destroy the Japanese army's war capabilities.

For example, the Dongling thief Sun Dianying was on the battlefield behind enemy lines, and Yu Mouzhong's troops of the Northeast Army who made great contributions in the Taierzhuang victory were also deployed to the battlefield behind enemy lines.

In Chang's eyes, the Red Party was naturally a ragtag army, so the Eighth Route Army was sent to the North China battlefield.

But he underestimated the Red Party. The Eighth Route Army, which insisted on independent resistance against Japan, mastered guerrilla tactics to perfection, with a level far exceeding the highest level of the Kuomintang guerrilla forces. They were like fish in water in the battlefield behind enemy lines, killing puppet troops, fighting the devils, and destroying the puppet government regime.

Moreover, the Red Party's anti-Japanese actions and strategies and tactics, which were rooted in the masses, made the people in the occupied areas re-recognize this anti-Japanese team, which was not at all as publicized in the Fruit Party's newspapers.

The mass line, equality between officers and soldiers, and good military discipline that they always adhered to made them very popular among the people. Coupled with the Red Party's effective political propaganda work, it became easier for the Red Party to recruit and expand its army.

In less than three years, the troops under the leadership of the Red Party rapidly grew from 30,000 to several hundred thousand.

After its strength grew, the Eighth Route Army also had the capacity to engage in frontal battles.

Shortly after the end of the "Zaoyi Battle", the Red Party fought a beautiful battle - the "Hundred Regiments Offensive".

In 1940, the Eighth Route Army mobilized more than regiments and waged a large-scale battle in the vast area of ​​Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei that lasted nearly four months.

For the Japanese, this war came too suddenly.

The Red Party had hundreds of thousands of troops, and they usually broke up into small groups and hid among the people, so as not to show their strength or leak out. The Japanese had no idea that hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops would suddenly appear in their rear and wreak havoc, tearing up railways, blowing up bridges, destroying roads, besieging artillery towers and strongholds, without stopping for a moment.

The "Hundred Regiments Campaign" not only annihilated a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, but also won a rare respite for the national army, which was exhausted on the front battlefield.

However, while it greatly increased the Red Party's popularity and recognition, it also exposed its own strength prematurely, bringing about two side effects.

First, the Eighth Route Army attracted the special attention of the Japanese army, and a more severe and large-scale sweep of the base areas behind enemy lines began. The deputy chief of staff, who graduated from the first class of the Whampoa Military Academy, was sacrificed, and the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses and had to break up again and retreat to the mountains.

Second, Chang became suspicious and had some ulterior motive in his mind.

Under pressure from public opinion, I had no choice but to swallow my anger and grit my teeth to give you the organization of three divisions and twelve regiments, and send you to the front line. Originally, I wanted to use the Japanese invaders to destroy you...

But in the past few years, you have the strength of more than a hundred regiments, and you have expanded freely without my permission. What's going on?

Before Chang made any move, there was already someone who was impatient - Han Deqin, chairman of the Jiangsu government of the Kuomintang.

The National Army and the New Fourth Army under this man's command were both guerrilla forces behind enemy lines, but there had long been conflicts over the issue of controlled areas. The two sides had many frictions, and the National Army lost more than it won.

Han Deqin, who had been holding a grudge for a long time, found out that the New Fourth Army was implementing the "Three Mountains Plan". Not satisfied with the long-term development under his nose, Han Deqin was now preparing to "occupy the magpie's nest".

This was intolerable. He ignored the anti-Japanese united front and mobilized 15,000 people to fight the New Fourth Army directly in Huangqiao, Jiangsu.

This was the Battle of Huangqiao, which ended on October 40, 10.

Chairman Han was ambitious, but he overestimated his own strength. After a great battle, the New Fourth Army annihilated more than 10,000 people, and the army was reduced to 4,000. Chairman Han was very embarrassed, and Chang was also very embarrassed, but he did not take action, but just sent a telegram to the Red Party and the New Fourth Army to ask: "Why did you expand the army without my order?
Since you now have 500,000 people, the combat organization should be consistent with the combat mission, and you should go to the front immediately."

The two sides exchanged telegrams and after some bargaining, Chang proposed that the troops that had clashed between the National Army and the New Fourth Army be transferred away, and that the Red Party's troops south of the Yellow River be quickly gathered north of the Yellow River and march towards Hebei. This would avoid friction and concentrate forces to deal with the Japanese troops in North China.

The Red Party's response was to transfer the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui to the north of the Yangtze River.

This obviously did not achieve Chang's goal, so he immediately sent another sternly worded telegram: Not north of the Yangtze River, but the New Fourth Army must go to the north of the Yellow River to fight, and the rotation must be completed before January 41, 1.

The Reds agreed.

Therefore, the issue of the New Fourth Army crossing the Yangtze River to the north was put on the agenda, and the Kuomintang and the Red Army also discussed the relocation route.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, things suddenly deviated from the planned track.

First, when the New Fourth Army was heading north, friction occurred with the Nationalist Army that came to relieve the defense.

Then, on January 1, the second day of the New Fourth Army's march north, when they reached the Maolin area, Gu from the Third War Zone and his subordinate Shangguan Yunxiang led more than 6 people to launch a siege with an absolute superior force.

As a result, after seven days and seven nights of struggling, only more than a thousand soldiers of the New Fourth Army, which consisted of less than 10,000 soldiers, successfully broke through.

The army commander was detained, the deputy commander was killed by a traitor, and other senior officers were either killed in battle, committed suicide, or were killed by traitors.
"Everyone, please sit down." Dai Chunfeng restrained his smile, sat down with his horse and sword, and said seriously:

“At this exciting moment, our military should seize the opportunity to win.

I called you all here in the middle of the night to prepare for a rainy day and implement a new plan. Oh, by the way, Director He gave it a name, the Nirvana Plan."

As he spoke, his cold eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone present.

He knew, no, he could feel that the Red Party's undercover "mermaid" was among these faces.

He Shangyou looked at the people who were waiting with bated breath, and slowly stood up:

"Everyone, I will be in charge of the Nirvana Project and will start implementing it immediately. However, I cannot do it alone, so I hope you can help me."

In his brief explanation, everyone understood the content of the Nirvana Plan:
Draw up a list of potential infiltrators, assassinate senior Red Party officials, and conduct secret surveillance, arrests, and instigation of Red Party members to defect in public.

After he finished speaking, Boss Dai continued, “Everyone, Nirvana, the phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes.

This plan is of vital importance. We must send out our best spies to infiltrate Pagoda Mountain, wait for an opportunity in the dark, and bite the throats of those Red Party members like hounds to wash away the shame of our past failures.

Therefore, the selection of agents is particularly important. Everyone must do their best to assist Director He in his work. Within three days, everyone must draw up a list of potential infiltration agents and give it to him for reference."

"All the contents of today's meeting are top secrets of the Military Intelligence Bureau. You must not leak them. If anyone violates this, please don't blame me, Dai, for being ruthless. I will punish you according to military law."

"Yes, we swear allegiance to the Party and the country until death." Everyone stood up and saluted in unison.

Dai Chunfeng waved his hand, and everyone slowly dispersed.

As soon as everyone walked out of the conference room, they saw a confidential secretary from Room A hurriedly walk into the conference room.

Soon, the acting chief secretary Mao Qiwu came out and shouted:
"Director He and District Chief Zhang, please stay for a moment."

Zhang Yi, He Shangyou and He Zhiyuan looked at each other and returned to the meeting room.

Dai Chunfeng was holding a telegram paper, with a cold smile on his face:

"According to terrible intelligence, the Red Party's Sichuan-Kang underground organization is preparing to take action. They want to rescue the Red Party prisoners from Wanglongmen Detention Center while we are escorting them to Baigongguan."

"Armed rescue?"

"Is the news reliable?"

"This is information from the civet cat. It was obtained from the top leaders of the Red Party's Sichuan-Kang underground party. It is absolutely reliable."

Civet cat! Zhang Yi's heart was slightly shaken.

He Shangyou immediately took the opportunity to compliment him:
"It is the Bureau Chief who has foresight and is in control of the situation. In the process of arresting the underground party members in Chengdu, he played a long game and relocated the traitors back into the Red Party."

"Since they want to rescue us, let us let them get what they want."

Dai Chunfeng smiled meaningfully and looked at He Shangyou:
"You and Zhang Yi will make the arrangements, and the Operations Department will be responsible for the coordination."

"Yes."

When Zhang Yi walked out of No. 19 Luojiawan, it was already three o'clock in the morning and the night was dark.

The moonlight shone through the thick clouds, so white that it was chilling.

Zhang Yi drove the car fast and slow, turned several street corners, and after making sure that no one was following him, he immediately wrote a piece of information in the car.

The situation is very tense. We have obtained too much information tonight and it is too important to pass it on immediately.

At the same time, He Shangyou returned to the office with great satisfaction.

The secretary had prepared hot tea for him and brought it to him respectfully.

"You sit down too." He Shangyou crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of tea comfortably, and pointed to the sofa next to him with a smile.

The secretary bowed and said, "I am a humble official. I have done nothing. How can I be qualified to sit in front of you? I am really terrified."

“No, you have done a great job, and the Nirvana Project has been completed very well.

I have already recommended you to the director of the bureau. He said that for such a talented person, it is really unfair for you to be just a major secretary.

As long as he makes more achievements, the rank of colonel will be a piece of cake.

Originally I wanted you to participate in the implementation of the Nirvana Plan, but now I have a new mission for you."

He Shangyou's smile made the secretary feel uneasy. He didn't want to participate in the Nirvana Plan. Wouldn't it be suicide to lurk in Pagoda Mountain?
Hearing that there was another mission, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with tears of gratitude:
"Thank you for your trust, Director. What would you like me to do?"

"Infiltrate the Red Party."

"Ah!" The secretary's face changed, and he almost knelt down to He Shangyou, choking with sobs:

"Virgo, I just got a girlfriend."

"Looking at your behavior, I'm sure you'll go to Pagoda Mountain."

"What is that?" The secretary licked his lips unconsciously.

"Go to Wanglongmen Detention Center." He Shangyou leaned forward slightly and stared at the secretary's flickering eyes.

"If the underground party wants to rescue the wanted criminals inside, they must pass on information to them.

Your task is to disguise yourself as a captured Red Party member and infiltrate their ranks. You must be brave and outstanding and gain their trust.
I'll give you a few tasks. Find out who is passing the information to them and what their specific plans are. That way, we can take advantage of their tactics and catch them all in one fell swoop."

After saying this, he saw the secretary's hesitation and added:

"Don't worry, it's just a physical pain. Once you complete this mission, I will immediately report your promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
