Agents of the Republic of China

Although it was already late at night, in view of the seriousness of the spy case seized this time, Bai Qi did not dare to neglect in the slightest, and rushed to Dai Li's mansion overnight to report.After receiving the notification, Dai Li got up immediately, washed his face with cold water, put on his pajamas, and hurried to the reception room in the mansion.

Bai Qi gave a detailed report on the entire arrest process at night. After Dai Li listened, the worry on his brows became more intense, "There is no one alive?" Dai Li confirmed again.

Bai Qi shook his head, "There are four people in total, three were killed, and one was surrounded after sending the report, but committed suicide by taking poison. It is not clear whether they have other accomplices, I have arranged for people to carry out the investigation in the Sichuan Army Air Defense Force. Screening, it will take a certain amount of time."

"Has the intercepted telegram been deciphered?" Dai Li asked again.

"It has been deciphered. However, it is of little value to us. The most important information has been obtained by the Japanese army."

"Oh, what is it?" Dai Li raised his eyebrows, and took another big gulp of strong tea.

"It's the maximum firing altitude of the ** anti-aircraft artillery fire at 1 meters!" Bai Qi replied.

Dai Li thought about it carefully, "It's not a big problem. The government has already purchased a batch of new anti-aircraft guns from the United States, and the shooting height can be increased. This information is of little value to the Japanese. What else?"

Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, "The other content is to point out some bombing targets for the Japanese army. However, I have confirmed these coordinates with the City Defense Command, and there are no key locations or buildings at all. I really messed up when the Japanese determined these targets." don't know?"

Dai Li took a deciphered message from Bai Qi and read it carefully.As Bai Qi said, among the targets sent by the spies, there are neither military facilities nor the location of key departments of the Nationalist government, let alone populated areas, but some major traffic routes in Chongqing. The bombing of these streets, in addition to It can cause some confusion to Chongqing's traffic, but basically, it won't have much impact.

"The Japanese will definitely not aimlessly, they must have their intentions, but what's the point of bombing these neighborhoods?" Dai Li fell into deep thought.

Bai Qi interjected at the right time, "Director, since we can't figure out what the Japanese are planning, we might as well make some arrangements for this intelligence."

Dai Li raised his head, "Tell me in detail!"

"It's like this. Since the Japanese bombed these urban areas for a certain purpose, we can make some preparations for these targets. First, evacuate the people in the block; second, arrange the city defense forces to strengthen the air defense force in these blocks; third, Order the fire department and other departments to prepare in advance. Once the bombing starts, we can guarantee that the loss will be minimized. Fourth, we can check the specific reasons why the Japanese did this through the intelligence system in the occupied area, so we can prepare early. .”

"Occupied area!" Lin Xiaotang's shadow flashed across Dai Li's mind for an instant, and he couldn't help laughing bitterly.It's easier said than done, I offended Lin Xiaotang to the point of being wronged by myself. At this time, it's not so cheap to expect Lin Xiaotang to work hard for me again!

What's more, since Lin Xiaotang was sent to Changde, Dai Li had sent some people to the two key cities of Shanghai and Nanjing to take over Lin Xiaotang's territory, hoping to use these two cities as a base to regain the territory in the enemy-occupied area.But after the men and horses were sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news in an instant.Dai Li knew very well that Lin Xiaotang must have made all preparations long ago.

Dai Li thought for a while, and then ordered: "Let Shen Zui handle this matter. He still has some friendship with that side. You two discuss it and see how you can talk to Lin Xiaotang."

Bai Qi took the order and left.

……

At this time in Nanjing, although the Spring Festival had just passed, the city was still in depression. Because of a series of actions by the Japanese army on various battlefields, the Japanese garrison troops once again increased their excessive expropriation of the occupied areas.The previous material control plan had been handed over to the Secret Service Headquarters and the Ministry of Finance for joint implementation, and at this time Zhou Fohai obviously felt the threat from Li Shiqun.After Li Shiqun took the position of Minister of Police, he had already controlled a considerable part of the puppet government's military power, and Zhou Fohai was startled by the speed at which his power expanded.The actual execution power of the material control plan also fell into the hands of Li Shiqun, and he began to brutally squeeze the territory in the occupied areas.

Because of this, prices in the occupied areas soared, and the people suffered unspeakably.

Recently, out of desperation, Zhou Fohai turned to the interest groups of Tang Shengming, Zhuang Chongxian, and Dingmo village again. However, under the current situation, the strength of the four people obviously cannot compete with Li Shiqun, so they had to back down step by step and silence their drums.

At the same time, Li Shiqun also intensified the search and arrest of the Nationalist government and underground organizations in the occupied areas, and Shanghai and Nanjing fell into a white terror of turmoil.

Shang Huaishi, the head of the Nanjing Station, has already learned that Lin Xiaotang was sent to Changde to supervise the war. In addition to being deeply worried about Lin Xiaotang, he gradually stabilized the hearts and minds of the Nanjing underground organization by virtue of his years of operating experience in Nanjing. situation.For Lin Xiaotang's kindness, Shang Huaishi was very grateful, and his granddaughter was also reused by Lin Xiaotang and Shang Zhensheng, Shang Huaishi was determined to defend the hard-won territory of Nanjing for Lin Xiaotang.

Before, the military command headquarters had secretly sent someone to contact Shang Huaishi, hoping that he could return to the headquarters, but Shang Huaishi sternly refused. He also took this opportunity to eradicate some of the subordinates who were instigated by the military command, and eliminated the infiltration of the military command headquarters. Some of the personnel who entered Nanjing further controlled the underground organization in Nanjing.

But at this time, Shang Huaishi received the news that the disciples asked for a meeting.

The disciple was a latent person that Shang Huaishi had placed in the Japanese army in his early years. Over the years, the disciple risked his life and sent a lot of valuable and important information, which is why Shang Huaishi attached great importance to this person.Within the entire organization, only Shang Huaishi and Lin Xiaotang knew the details of this person.

Recently, under the strict management of Li Shiqun in Nanjing City, the strength of the anti-Japanese underground organization has been somewhat damaged. Because of this, all hidden personnel had to enter a dormant state. Similarly, the intelligence line of disciples also temporarily entered During the dormant period, but at this time, the disciple suddenly asked the monk Huaishi to meet, no need to ask, he must have absolutely important information to ask the monk Huaishi to meet in such a dangerous situation.

Perhaps aware of the approaching danger, Shang Huaishi called his deputy, Lin Huaibu.Shang Huaishi handed over the personnel list and important information of the Nanjing Station that he had mastered to Lin Huaibu for temporary storage, which surprised Lin Huaibu.

"Shang Lao, what do you mean by that? Why did you give all these things to me?" Lin Huaibu thought over and over again, and still raised his own question.

Shang Huaishi smiled relaxedly, "In our business, we must make sufficient preparations. Don't worry too much. Maybe I made a fuss, but we still need to plan ahead."

Shang Huaishi didn't say the specific reason, and Lin Huaibu didn't dare to ask further, so he had to agree first.But Lin Huaibu was still cautious, seeing Shang Huaishi pack up and go out, so he brought two confidantes and quietly followed behind Shang Huaishi, intending to secretly protect him.

The place where the apprentice asked Shang Huaishi to meet was on the top floor of the Xingfa Building, which is the most prosperous place in Nanjing. The surrounding area is full of commercial buildings built by Japanese-funded enterprises. The traffic is relatively large, which is also good for concealment.

When Shang Huaishi arrived at the balcony on the top floor, the disciples were already waiting here.

"What's the reason for coming to me in such a hurry, do you know that we'd better not meet each other recently, this is also for your safety." Upon meeting, Shang Huaishi couldn't help but blame the disciple.

The disciple was a young man under 30 years old. Hearing Shang Huaishi's accusation, he didn't make any excuses, but lowered his voice and said, "I have received reliable information. The former Italian special envoy to China, Bestoni, has left Chongqing. Before returning home, An important piece of information was provided to the Japanese, that is, the exact location of the official residence of Huangshan, the supreme leader of the Nationalist Government. Therefore, the Japanese have decided to carry out precision bombing of this place. It is extremely urgent, and you must immediately find a way to notify the Chongqing side.”

Shang Huaishi was stunned for a moment, he never expected that such a piece of information would be sent by his disciples.

"It happened suddenly!" The disciple went on to say, "In order not to delay the time, I asked you to meet at the first time. Also, No. 76 is currently investigating the underground anti-Japanese organization, and the Nanjing Gendarmerie Headquarters is fully cooperating. All calls and The contact information is no longer safe, so I took the risk of asking you to meet."

Just as Shang Huaishi was about to speak, there was a clear gunshot without warning.

……

Lin Huaibu followed Shang Huaishi quietly to the Xingfa Building with two of his subordinates, watched Shang Huaishi get on the elevator, and the three of them paid attention to the surrounding movement on the first floor.

Less than 10 minutes later, several cars drove fast in front of the building. The cars stopped in front of the gate, and more than 20 men in black tunic suits got out of the cars.Immediately, two trucks full of military police drove over.

Lin Huaibu's pupils constricted as soon as the leading man showed up. "Li Shiqun!"

Li Shiqun commanded his subordinates and military police to guard several entrances and exits of the Xingfa Building, and it seemed that he was about to lead people in.

Lin Huaibu hastily pulled one of his subordinates over, "Stay downstairs. If the people from No. 76 want to go upstairs, try to hold them back. I'll tell Old Shang to retreat!"

Lin Huaibu rushed up the stairs as if flying. He had just climbed to the third floor when he heard gunshots from the first floor. His heart sank, and he continued to stride upstairs to the balcony.
