Agents of the Republic of China

At this time, on the Burmese battlefield, the fighting became more and more intense.After the Japanese army occupied Yangon and quelled the riots in the city, they marched heavily.Trying to encircle and wipe out the main force of the British army on the line from Tonggu to Mandalay, and at the same time attract the expeditionary force to help, and take the opportunity to eliminate its vital forces.

Due to the movement made by Lin Xiaotang and others in Yangon, the main force of the Japanese army had to stay in Yangon for two more days, and it was these two days that allowed the Chinese Expeditionary Force to seize the opportunity.Under the leadership of the division commander Dai Anlan, the 0th Division of the Expeditionary Army rushed to Tonggu, a small town 250 kilometers north of Yangon, day and night. Gather to the Tonggu area.

But even so, there are still great hidden worries in the current war situation.First of all, the British-Myanmar First Division stationed in the Tonggu area retreated from Yangon to Tonggu. Their morale was low, and they were frightened by the Japanese offensive. They just wanted to retreat safely and had no intention of holding on.Facing the offensive of the Japanese army, their defense line may collapse at any time.What's even more frightening is that the current situation of the British army on the Western Front is also the same.

The second is the loss of air supremacy. The current strength of the U.S. 14th Air Force can only passively defend firmly, and it is still far from seizing the air supremacy of the entire Myanmar battlefield.The British army was even more outrageous. As early as the eve of the Burma campaign, the British army promised the national government that it would provide [-] aircraft to the Burmese battlefield. However, with the deepening of the North African war, such a promise has long since become a dead letter.Without air cover, the victory in the Burmese war that the expeditionary force and the British army wanted to go to was not easy.

Although Dai Li did not go to the front line in person, looking at the mountain of information in front of him, he seemed to be able to see the scene of blood and flesh flying on the battlefield with his own eyes.The current situation of the expeditionary force is not optimistic. The British defense lines on the two wings are already crumbling. If the Japanese army hadn’t been delayed for two more days in Yangon, the subsequent reinforcements of the expeditionary force might not be able to reach Tonggu. Fortunately, there are finally troops He hurried to Tonggu's flank defense line, assisted the British army to stabilize the defense line, and did not let the 0 division sticking to Tonggu become a lone army.

Dai Li was very curious about what happened in Yangon, and it was able to delay the "Malay Tiger" Yamashita Fengwen for two full days.He knew very well that Fengwen Yamashita was a famous general in the Japanese army, and if it was not an important matter, he would never let go of this excellent opportunity to defeat the Sino-British coalition forces.

Not long ago, Dai Li got the news that Lin Xiaotang was missing in Myanmar.Originally, Dai Li felt that he should breathe a sigh of relief and feel extremely relaxed.When the event came to an end, he found that this was not the case at all, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart.Ask yourself, Lin Xiaotang has indeed been conscientious in the enemy-occupied areas these years. He is different from other high-level military commanders. A rare talent in military command these years.Perhaps Dai Li had such complicated feelings after losing such a rare competitor.

But then, when the news from Yangon came, Dai Li's heart tightened, and he immediately wondered if it was Lin Xiaotang's handwriting.He checked through the channels of the military command. Although there is no information about Lin Xiaotang's escape, Jiang Jingguo and the attendants have begun to actively inquire about Lin Xiaotang's news. This also proves from the side that Lin Xiaotang has not completely escaped.

Suddenly, Dai Li was a little ridiculous at his own contradictions. Lin Xiaotang was in danger, and he should have celebrated the death of his opponent, but now he was worried about his affairs, which was indeed a bit too funny.

Just as he was thinking about something, a voice of a report suddenly sounded outside the door, and Dai Li subconsciously asked, "Is that Shen Junxi? Come in!"

The door opened, but Mao Renfeng pushed the door and came in.It was only then that Dai Li remembered that Shen Zui blocked the gun for the Chairman, and he was still recuperating in the hospital at this time, so he couldn't help being a little embarrassed. "It's Qi Wu, please sit down!"

Mao Renfeng was not in the mood to sit down at this time, wiped the oily sweat off his face, and his voice trembled a little, "Director Dai, Pei Gang is dead!"

Dai Li was stunned, and didn't remember who Pei Gang was for a moment. Mao Renfeng hurriedly added: "Pei Zhongyan's nephew, the one who was captured alive later!"

Only then did Dai Li come to his senses, and then he was taken aback, "Isn't it being held in secret? How did it happen?"

Only then did Mao Renfeng recount what happened.

After Pei Zhongyan's rebellion was quelled, only Pei Gang was left among the high-level rebels captured.To be on the safe side, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Dai Li and the attendants to interrogate Pei Gang secretly, and secretly detained Pei Gang in a villa of the Sino-US Cooperation Institute. It is to facilitate mutual supervision.

After all, the matter of Pei Zhongyan is really too big, and there are still many prominent figures in the national government hidden behind him. These people either took refuge in the Japanese; or planned to fish in troubled waters; , but it is undeniable that once Pei Gang confesses to the list, these people will be ruthlessly purged without exception.So in order to kill people, these people can do anything.

After Pei Gang was arrested, except for barely resisting on the first day, he became very cooperative under the threat of torture.But he also knew that the things he had mastered were not only the conditions for his death, but also the support for his survival. Therefore, when Pei Gang asked to see the high-level officials in charge of the military command, Dai Li ordered Mao Renfeng to meet him .

The talks between the two sides went smoothly, and the military commander agreed to send Pei Gang abroad after the matter was completed, and gave him a brand new identity and a large sum of money to ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Pei Gang is not stupid, and he is also guarding against the military commander's crossing the river and demolishing bridges. He first confessed a group of middle-level figures among the rebels. Of course, there were also political opponents Dai Li took this opportunity to eliminate, and stuffed them into the list. No more talking, and asked to go to Hong Kong or Taiwan first, Bangkok is also fine, and then he will tell all the lists.

Mao Renfeng became angry and ordered to torture again to extract a confession, but this time Pei Gang was a bully, and he was determined to say nothing.

Mao Renfeng had nothing to do, but in order to get the high-level list of the rebel participants, he had to swallow his anger and agree to Pei Gang's conditions.

But at this juncture, an accident happened.Early in the morning, Mao Renfeng received an urgent report from his subordinates that the villa of the Sino-American Cooperation Institute was raided, and no one was spared, including Pei Gang.

Mao Renfeng broke out in a cold sweat, didn't dare to delay, and hurried to see Dai Li,

But Dai Li was helpless after hearing this.These dark threads hidden inside the Nationalist Government were afraid that Pei Gang would reveal everyone, so they dared to take the risk and killed Pei Gang ruthlessly, but how could they find out Pei Gang's hidden address? Killed more than 20 secret strongholds guarded by masters.

Thinking of this, Dai Li's expression became a little unnatural.The energy of these people is so great that it is somewhat beyond his expectation.

Dai Li rubbed his sore temples, "What about Wang Xianqing, any news?"

Mao Renfeng shook his head, "Not yet."

Dai Li was disappointed again. Most of his subordinates were from literati backgrounds, and they had not experienced the tempering of the grassroots intelligence front. It is absolutely fine to sit in the office and write some colorful articles. It is absolutely fine to engage in some internal fighting, but the actual business Come to think of it, compared to Lin Xiaotang's subordinates in the enemy-occupied area, their abilities are much farther away.Originally, Shen Zui was a good seed, but now he is not available. Bai Qi from the international department is also good, but unfortunately he has some playboy habits, he is a little frivolous and not calm enough.Zheng Jiemin, Tang Zong and others are the first type of people in Dai Li's eyes. Mao Renfeng is also like this, but he is loyal enough.But the actual ability to do things is not satisfactory.

Just like Wang Xianqing who escaped during the rebellion, he was indeed a scheming guy, and he played the role of a cripple without telling Pei Zhongyan, and it probably took a long time, otherwise Pei Zhongyan would have noticed, but he is a bereaved dog after all, and Pei Zhongyan showed his face together, and his influence was also uprooted.At this time, if he hadn't prepared in advance, how could he disappear without a trace.

It's ridiculous that Pei Zhongyan is also a rare person who has endured for so many years, just to avenge the old master, and even became an ally with such a person with two ends of the head, but in the end he became a victim of their royal family.

Dai Li suddenly thought of an idea and stood up abruptly.Wang Xianqing is living abroad, and he should have more comprehensive information and lists than Pei Gang. With his scheming, he must have a way to contact his former allies. It won't be long before Wang Xianqing can reorganize a piece of information that is not inferior to Pei Zhongyan, and that can be called a serious problem for the military commander.

Dai Li thought for a long time before he made up his mind, "Qi Wu, you can do a few things. First, regarding the screening of rebels, in line with the principle of killing the wrong ones before letting them go, we must eliminate the roots; second , analyze the daily relationship network between Pei Zhongyan and Wang Xianqing in detail again, and search for high-level people who are connected with them. Remember, for these people, you must find solid evidence before you can start; third, Wang Xianqing should not stay in Chongqing again. First, you inform Lin Xiaotang's subordinates in Shanghai, and let them cooperate in finding Wang Xianqing's whereabouts in the occupied area; fourth, you inform Bai Qi, and ask him to help find out the situation in Myanmar, especially Lin Xiaotang's The whereabouts, these days, the chairman has asked several times."

Dai Li turned around, "There is also the war situation in Myanmar. The Yangon station has been destroyed. At present, we can only rely on the Lashio station. Tell them to send intelligence personnel to the enemy-occupied areas as much as possible. We have too little information about the Japanese army here. Just like last time, the 0 Division was stationed in Tonggu, and the attack on Tonggu was clearly the strength of two divisions of the Japanese army. Our intelligence personnel thought that there was only one division. If the follow-up troops did not arrive in time, the 0 Division I almost suffered a big loss!"
