Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 815 A War Without Smoke V
Zhang Fawu stopped Zhang Fawu when Zhang Lixing was about to leave the office.

"If the enemy finds out that Mr. Qian bought coal for us, what will happen?" Zhang Fawu asked.

"The enemy in Shanghai will definitely report to the higher authorities, and the enemy in Hong Kong may attack Qian Xiaobao soon!" Zhang Lixing replied.

"Since you know the consequences, I don't need to say more. This matter and Qian Xiaobao are only known to a very small number of people. You must not mention him outside!" Zhang Fawu instructed.

"I understand!" Zhang Lixing replied.

When the train arrived in Shanghai, dozens of people got off from a special compartment one after another. All of these people had calm expressions and steady movements.They all walked out of the train station through the special exit with their luggage and boarded the car specially to pick them up.

Among the dozens of people, Lao Zhang and Huang Minglan, who used to live in Qian Xiaobao's house, suddenly appeared.

After Shanghai was liberated, hidden secret agents frantically carried out sabotage and assassination operations. The importance of Shanghai is beyond doubt. The superiors dispatched a group of experienced intelligence personnel from various places to strengthen Shanghai's anti-special forces.

Both Lao Zhang and Huang Minglan were transferred here to work against enemy agents.

Many of these people have known each other before, but because of the habits developed in intelligence work for many years, they didn't talk to each other much.For example, Lao Zhang and Huang Minglan knew each other when they were studying intelligence work in a big northern country. Later, one returned to the northeast and the other went to Shanghai. They haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and they just nodded to each other.

According to the intelligence transmitted from the enemy's intelligence agencies and the confessions of the hidden secret agents who have been arrested, a list of a number of hidden secret agents has been mastered.Now a large number of people are concentrating on household registration checks in different districts.

There are 600 million people in Shanghai, and the workload of checking them one by one is huge.Moreover, the spies all used new aliases, and with new identities, it was very difficult to investigate.

Huang Minglan used to be a member of the underground party in Shanghai, so she is very familiar with the situation in Shanghai.She led a group of local police officers to investigate thousands of people in several streets and alleys, and then received a new investigation list.

Huang Minglan saw that Qian Xiaobao's name actually appeared in the newly issued list of dozens of people!
Two days later, Huang Minglan knocked on the door of Zhang Fawu's office.

"Comrade Minglan, why are you here?" Zhang Fawu asked in surprise.

Zhang Fawu had worked in Beihai Bank for a long time, and Huang Minglan was in charge of intelligence work in Shandong after leaving Shanghai due to his identity being exposed. The two had met before.

But Zhang Fawu didn't know that Huang Minglan had arrived in Shanghai.

"I am currently assigned by my superior to work in Shanghai temporarily, and now I want to ask you about intelligence work." Huang Minglan replied.

"I'm not the leader in charge of intelligence work, so don't tell me about intelligence matters." Zhang Fawu said sensitively.

"I came to you after asking the superiors for instructions." Huang Minglan explained.

"If this is the case, please sit down." Zhang Fawu said.

"Qian Xiaobao's name appeared in our newly issued investigation list. When my identity was exposed in [-], I used to hide in Qian Xiaobao's home. After I retreated to Shandong, because I was engaged in intelligence work, I had vaguely heard of Qian Xiaobao. Xiaobao helped us sell lint. So I feel very strange why Qian Xiaobao appeared in the investigation list. However, some comrades said that Qian Xiaobao once worked in the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army, and there are historical doubts, so We need to investigate him." Huang Minglan said.

After investigation, it was Lao Zhang who added Qian Xiaobao's name to the investigation list. He had been looking for Qian Xiaobao's whereabouts all these years.When he came to Shanghai this time, he wanted to take this opportunity of a comprehensive investigation to see if Qian Xiaobao was hiding here.

"How many people still know that Qian Xiaobao helped us purchase cotton?" Zhang Fawu asked.

"Only a few people on the intelligence line, including me, know about it." Huang Minglan replied.

"This matter is top secret and cannot be leaked!" Zhang Fawu said.

"It was the most difficult time for us. The enemy attacked from north to south, and tens of millions of catties of cotton in the liberated areas could not be sold. If farmers could not be helped to sell cotton, the liberated areas would not be stable. Qian Xiaobao helped us a lot. I want to Report to the superior that Qian Xiaobao cannot be investigated!" Zhang Fawu said.

Five days later, a black car drove into the compound of the Public Security Bureau, and a man in his 40s got out of the car and walked into the office building.

Lao Zhang, who was investigating, was immediately called to an independent office for questioning.

"Old Zhang, you have seriously violated organizational discipline this time! How can you add someone to the investigation list without permission?" the man asked seriously.

But the tone of the two should be very familiar.

"I have been looking for Qian Xiaobao these years since he disappeared in Changchun in early [-]. There are many doubts about his history." Lao Zhang replied.

"Tell me about it," said the man.

At this time, Lao Zhang hesitated a little. He had worked in the intelligence agency of the great northern country for a long time. The matter about Qian Xiaobao belonged to the secret of the intelligence agency of the great northern country. Is it appropriate to tell all about it?

But after a moment's hesitation he decided to say it all.

"Qian Xiaobao provided information to the intelligence agencies of the northern powers for a long time during the Anti-Japanese War, but he suddenly disappeared in August [-]. All the prisoners of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department who were escorted to Siberia insisted that he was dead. But later he He appeared in the Northeast, and I almost caught him in Changchun." Lao Zhang replied.

"How important and accurate was the information he provided back then?" the man asked.

"I don't know the specific information Qian Xiaobao provided, but I feel from the few words of the intelligence personnel of the northern power that the importance and accuracy of the information he provided should be very high." Lao Zhang replied.

"Are there any clues that Qian Xiaobao was ordered by the Japanese to provide information to the intelligence agency of the northern power?" the man asked again.

"No, it should be voluntary." Lao Zhang answered truthfully.

"Does that mean he still has merit?" said the man.

"Yes, but after the liberation of Harbin, the bodies of two intelligence personnel from the northern powers were dug up in his home!" Lao Zhang replied.

The expression of the person who asked the question became serious.The big northern country is now China's friendly neighbor and big brother.

"Qian Xiaobao killed him?" the man asked.

"No, after investigation, he was receiving guerrilla warfare training at Yimianpo at that time and had no time to kill people. But this incident is likely to be related to him, at least he is an insider." Lao Zhang replied.

"Old Zhang, I came to Shanghai to investigate this matter on behalf of the higher-level organization. In any case, you have violated organizational discipline by adding Qian Xiaobao to the investigation list without permission! Now the investigation of Qian Xiaobao is stopped, and I will investigate this matter." Afterwards, ask your superiors whether to start an investigation again," the person said.
