Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 516: The Japanese army fell into a trap and reacted very quickly, Old Dai

This was the first time that Zhang Anping expressed his opinion so strongly in front of Lao Cen.

The entire No. 2 Intelligence Group is actually based on Zhang Anping's will. Lao Cen has always been conservative, and always feels that some of Zhang Anping's radical plans are too risky.

But in the end he will support Zhang Anping.

But Zhang Anping's way of persuading him was either by playing dirty, answering irrelevant questions, or reasoning, but he had never been so resolute and tough.

Lao Cen keenly sensed Zhang Anping's attitude, and he asked in confusion:
"Are you worried about the New Fourth Army headquarters?"

Zhang Anping nodded.

"Don't worry, our comrades have always been on guard against the diehards." Old Cen, who has always been conservative, is very optimistic about this matter. This is mainly because there have been many frictions between the two sides since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, but in general, many people are unwilling to have a civil war. He believes that even if there is a conflict, it will not be too big.

And we received the relevant information early on.

But when he saw Zhang Anping still staring at him, he knew that Zhang Anping was determined. He thought about it and thought that doing so would also be beneficial to the unity of both sides in the war of resistance, so he said:
"I agree with you."

"Then I will go find Ming Lou and let him take charge of this matter from now on."

"it is good."

……

When the Wang Puppet Government was established, Minglou successfully resigned from his position as deputy director of the Special Affairs Committee. He was the only person who escaped from No. 76 intact.

He is now the deputy director of the Economic Committee under the Ministry of Finance. Since Zhou Fohai concurrently serves as the director, he is the de facto number one of the committee.

Because Minglou's status had changed, Zhang Anping reduced the strength of Minglou's intelligence group after returning from the Third War Zone, and let Minglou focus on intelligence on the top leaders of the puppet government.

Many webmasters, once they have a high-level undercover agent inside the enemy, will take advantage of him to their heart's content. However, constant intelligence leaks can easily lead to the exposure of the undercover agent. This is not to say that the enemy is unaware of the consequences of such behavior, but in an environment where intelligence work is difficult to carry out, there is no way around it.

But Zhang Anping is different. He cares more about the safety of intelligence personnel and the acquisition of more confidential intelligence, and will not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

So Minglou was left alone...

Zhang Anping's only request to Minglou was to try not to pass on non-important information. For a hidden agent, the feeling of being abandoned was really unpleasant.

So after receiving Zhang Anping's meeting signal, Minglou rushed to the agreed place without stopping.

As soon as he entered, he heard Zhang Anping's joking words:
"Director Ming has been very successful lately!"

"Don't talk nonsense, do you have an important mission?"

Seeing Minglou was so impatient, Zhang Anping went straight to the point:
"I have a 'Viper Plan' here, and now it is your responsibility to continue to implement it."

"By me?" Ming Lou raised his eyebrows: "There must be something wrong here!"

Smart people are smart people. If they take over a "project under construction" from someone like Zhang Kengkeng, there is a high probability that there will be problems.

"Fortunately, we are not opponents." Zhang Anping laughed, then said seriously: "The Viper Plan is fake, but I hope you can make the Japanese believe that this plan is real."

"Tell me the details." Minglou became interested.

Zhang Anping began to explain, and as Minglou listened, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and both ridiculous and sad.

A Japanese would believe that the KMT and the CPC were secretly planning military actions against the Japanese emperor through superficial friction;

But as an underground party member, as a high-level agent lurking in the Military Control Commission, a person who deeply understood the character of the National Army, he knew that given the character of the National Government, it would be impossible to make such a plan - it is very likely that both sides are clearly acting, and at the critical moment the National Government will strike back and stab its friendly forces first!
After listening to this, Ming Lou gathered his “broken” feelings and asked:
"You've almost implemented it, why do you want me to accept it?"

Zhang Anping asked back: "What do you think the Japanese will do if they believe in this plan?"

"Send more troops to Anhui and Zhejiang—hiss, is your purpose to increase the pressure on the Third War Zone?"

"Yes." Zhang Anping nodded in acknowledgment, and then said in a deep voice: "I hope that under this pressure, the National Army can give up its conspiracy against the New Fourth Army."

Minglou sighed when he heard this and did not answer.

He...is not optimistic!

"Leave this to me."

"There may be sequelae." Zhang Anping reminded.

"Will you doubt me?"

"It's hard to say. If there are any sequelae, I want to secretly assassinate Chairman Ming."

Although Ming Lou knew that the assassination Zhang Anping mentioned would never really kill his elder sister, he still felt a pang in his heart. He suppressed the discomfort and asked, "Does this need my elder sister's participation?"

"Mr. Ming does not need to be involved, but our comrades will be looming in the mix."

"I see."

Zhang Anping gave a time limit: "Before the 28th, the Japanese must be convinced completely!"

……

After Minglou took over the plan, he mobilized all the resources of his intelligence team and started to work on it from all aspects.

He first ordered the Supervisory Department of the Third War Zone to catch all the undercover agents, and then spread the word:
The Viper Plan was a fake plan to expose the traitor.

The intelligence group of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Agency in the Third War Zone was completely destroyed overnight, and the traitors of the puppet government received news that the Viper Plan was a false plan. After this news was passed to Takeda Yoshihei, Takeda Yoshihei not only did not relax, but instead noticed something weird.

This time, the Third War Zone reacted too quickly!

He had a feeling that this was a smokescreen deliberately released by the other party. The other party had noticed that they had discovered the Viper Plan and deliberately set up a maze!

He didn't dare to jump to conclusions about whether the Viper Project was real, but one thing was definitely true:
There is a mole inside the special intelligence agency!

Takeda Yoshihei immediately started the internal investigation process secretly. After first defining the scope of possible leaks, he began further exploration:

He sent out an intelligence team from each of the four areas of knowledge to continue investigating the Viper Project.

……

Minglou once presided over the "screening" work of the two camps. It was called a screening work, but in fact it was a disguised way of making money.

There were three Japanese leaders involved at the time: Okamoto Heiji, Matsumuro Yoshitaka and Tsukamoto Seiji.

This time, the three of them made a huge amount of money.

This was a total amount of money that did not need to be recorded in the accounts. Faced with the temptation of such a huge amount of money, Matsumuro Yoshitaka and Tsukamoto Seiji could not resist the temptation and ended up embezzling most of it.

They thought they had done it perfectly. After all, they had used real money to bribe senior officials of the expeditionary force headquarters. Whoever investigated this matter was bound to be killed.

But they ignored the human heart, because their shameless behavior of eating meat without leaving even the soup for their subordinates made many people in the special intelligence agency have different thoughts.

Why can you big guys commit corruption, abuse your power, and accept bribes, while we have to live a hard life with nothing?
Under this kind of thinking, coupled with the deliberate corruption by those with ulterior motives, many Japanese intelligence officers began to gradually degenerate. By the time they realized that they were sinking deeper and deeper, it was already too late to turn back.

When there are many greedy people, the few honest people become the outliers.

Tatsuya Shimura is such an outlier.

After he found that his colleagues were corrupt one after another, he decided to eradicate these scums, so he secretly conducted a long investigation.

But Shimura Tatsuya could never have imagined that although his colleagues had fallen, they still remained vigilant as agents. When they realized that Shimura Tatsuya was secretly investigating them, a killing plan was quietly prepared.

Ming Lou, who was in charge of the "Viper Project", received the support of various resources in the Shanghai area. When he got the information from Xu Tian who was involved in all this, he decided to use Shimura Tatsuya to set up the plan.

"Shimura Tatsuya is our nail!"

Minglou is determined to turn them into thorns of the Military Control Commission. The benefit of doing so is that the Japanese intelligence officers involved will no longer have the possibility of escaping control!
Under Minglou's arrangement, all kinds of means were used.

A big net was formed in a short time!

……

Shimura Ryuya is a very serious person. After receiving the task assigned by his superiors, he personally led people to sneak into the Kuomintang-controlled area and conduct reconnaissance through various means.

The quality of officers in the National Army is really, really poor. Their awareness of confidentiality and vigilance are also quite poor. The confidentiality capability of the entire system is like a bamboo backpack filled with water!
Shimura Ryuya, who went to the front line, only took a few days to come to the conclusion:

It is absolutely true that the Nationalist government intended to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army!

The Viper Project is fake!

After he came to this conclusion with full confidence, he sent a telegram to Shanghai immediately.

But he could never have imagined that his men had sent a photo to Shanghai. The photo showed several figures shaking hands, some of whom were wearing the uniforms of generals of the National Army, while the other two were dressed as civilians. However, after screening by the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department, it was determined that the civilians were members of the Southern Bureau of the underground party!

The level is not low.

Looking at this photo, Takeda Yoshihei's heart sank.

The Viper Project is most likely true!
Then, the identity of Shimura Tatsuya will be revealed.

He immediately sent people to search Shimura Tatsuya's house, which made Takeda Yoshihei's eyes red.

The value of the gold alone was over 30,000 yen, and there was at least 20,000 yen in cash. In addition, there was a deposit certificate - according to the information on the deposit certificate, someone would deposit varying amounts of cash into it every month. Based on secret questioning of bank staff, it was determined that this person was Shimura Ryuya.

Takeda Yoshihei was furious and immediately issued a secret order to the investigators in the team led by Shimura Tatsuya to deal with Shimura Tatsuya secretly.

Every intelligence team he sent out had such a secret investigator, just to catch the traitor!

Captain Tatsuya Shimura never dreamed that he, who had devoted himself to the holy war, would end up like this.

Unfortunately, his death did not cause any waves from beginning to end, and was simply dismissed as a glorious death.

Takeda Yoshihei was not surprised that the traitor was found out so quickly.

What he was most concerned about at this time was the results of the investigations of the other three intelligence groups.

The results of the survey were largely consistent:
The National Army did not seem to have any collusion with the New Fourth Army.

But the more this happened, the more worried Takeda Yoshihei became, because the photo secretly sent by Shimura Tatsuya's team made him feel that something was fishy.

He ordered four investigation teams to continue their secret investigations.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, an investigation team discovered a shocking mystery:
A Communist Party armed force was marching together with the National Army. Based on the judgment of the equipment of this armed force, the investigation team confirmed that this was the "Special Battalion 1" that the New Fourth Army had focused on building.

The predecessor of the Special Forces Battalion 1 was a special forces company of the New Fourth Army. This company was equipped with American equipment obtained from various channels, and ammunition was also replenished first. In all the battles, it made the Japanese and puppet troops suffer. Later, this company was expanded into the Special Forces Battalion 1, which was even more of a nightmare for the Japanese army. There was a record of a single battalion fighting against a Japanese battalion.

When he heard the news, Takeda Yoshihei jumped up.

Project Viper is real!
The tension between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is all pretend!

They are Xiang Zhuang dancing with swords, aiming at Pei Gong!
He rushed to the garrison headquarters and met the commander again.

Two photos were placed on the table, and Takeda Yoshihei introduced the origins of the photos one by one.

"Members of the CCP's Southern Bureau secretly met with Nationalist generals?"

"The Special Battalion 1 that disappeared for a while actually got involved with the Nationalist Army?"

The commander looked at the photo and felt sick.

He should have reported this matter to the dispatched troops as soon as possible!
It’s all my own selfishness.

After secretly reflecting on his actions, he praised Takeda Yoshihei:
"Takeda-kun, this matter is all thanks to your persistence! It was you who made the imperial army aware of the crisis in advance!"

"Well done! I will definitely ask the expeditionary forces for your contribution!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

After the commander sent Takeda away, he immediately contacted the expeditionary force headquarters through a dedicated line and informed his superiors in North China who were fully committed to dealing with the Eighth Route Army of the Viper Plan.

The Expeditionary Force Headquarters was stunned. After many discussions, they believed that the National Government would definitely not take advantage of the situation, but would instead sit back and watch them attack the Eighth Route Army with heavy troops. Even if they had to carry out military operations under pressure, they would not put in their full efforts.

But they didn't expect that the National Army was actually repairing the plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang, and secretly mixed up with the New Fourth Army - from the general understanding of the Viper Plan, it can be seen that this is an attempt to take advantage of the opportunity to retake Jiangnan!
Although there were still officers who believed that the Nationalist government would never play this trick with the New Fourth Army, the expeditionary army did not dare to take the risk based on the overall situation.

At this time in the world battlefield, the German army was sweeping across Europe, but they were dragged into the Chinese battlefield, which was already a very embarrassing thing. If they were defeated in a major counterattack and lost cities and territories, how could they face their allies?

Therefore, as the New Year was approaching, the expeditionary force urgently dispatched several troops from Jiangsu to support the Anhui and Zhejiang defense lines.

……

chongqing.

"What? The Japanese have increased their troops in Anhui and Zhejiang? What are the Japanese doing? Damn it! They fight the Eighth Route Army and we fight the New Fourth Army. Isn't that a tacit agreement?"

"Check! Check it for me right now! I want to know what's going on!"

As the head of the Military Control Commission, Lao Dai took the order and left.

Old Dai left, but the meeting in the attendant room was still going on.

"The Japanese army has deployed heavy troops in Anhui and Zhejiang. If we fight the New Fourth Army, they will most likely take advantage of the situation and move in."

This is a subtle reminder to make good choices.

"The Japanese deeply hate the guerrilla forces that are growing wildly in the occupied areas. On the battlefield in North China, the Eighth Route Army has already shown its danger. When they are concentrating on dealing with the Communist Party, they will not escalate the incident!"

"I believe that as long as they are sure that we will not take advantage of this to attack them, they will definitely not attack us. Besides, 20 of our troops have gathered in this area. How many people does the New Fourth Army have? We can let these troops focus on dealing with the New Fourth Army, and the rest of the troops can turn to defend against the Japanese army!"

"By then...even if the Japanese army attacks, we just need to stop them and buy time to destroy the New Fourth Army!"

"Well, that makes sense..." Looking at the markings on the map, "With 80,000 troops fighting them, I have the advantage! We must not let the New Fourth Army become the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes!"

……

Military Command Headquarters.

After Lao Dai sent a telegram to Shanghai for investigation, he thought that it would take several days for Zhang Anping to give him an answer. However, he did not expect that he received a reply from the Beijing-Shanghai area within just one hour.

Our troops were able to deceive the Japanese army with false information and mobilize troops from Jiangsu.

Was it done by the Beijing-Shanghai district?

Old Dai was dumbfounded. It turned out that his nephew was the one who sent more troops to Anhui and Zhejiang from Japan?

Seeing the tone of seeking credit between the lines in the telegram, Old Dai couldn't help but imitate someone and curse:
"Niang Xipi!"

He realized that Zhang Anping had gone to great lengths to mobilize the Japanese troops in order to obtain their equipment, but out of his spy instinct, he still found it a little strange.

Did the nephew really do it accidentally?
After thinking about it for a long time, he ordered someone to send a telegram to the Beijing-Shanghai district again to find out the details of what happened.

That evening he received a call back from the Beijing and Shanghai region, and he read it carefully.

In his reply, Zhang Anping described his plan in detail:

He secretly mobilized the Zhongjiu Army to move secretly towards Changzhou, intending to make a "fat gain" in the Changzhou direction. Dushe presided over the "Viper Plan" and successfully fooled the Japanese army.

Zhang Anping was not the type to take credit for others’ work, so he said in the telegram that although the Viper Plan was his flash of inspiration, it was only because of Viper’s careful planning that it succeeded.

He even asked Lao Dai for credit, requesting that after he became "fat", he should be given special rewards for the venomous snake.

"Minglou?"

There was a dangerous light flashing in Old Dai's eyes. If he remembered correctly, Minglou's sister Mingjing was a member of the underground party!
And it was the "Katyusha" that had been bothering me for a long time!
Is there any shadow of the underground party involved in this matter?

Old Dai’s first thought was to ask Wang Tianfeng to go to Shanghai for a secret investigation.

But he immediately rejected it.

"My silly nephew, if you were sold and still helped count the money, it would be a disgrace to you!"

If Wang Tianfeng were allowed to go and it was found that the underground party was involved in this matter, then his nephew would be used by the underground party, which would seriously affect his prestige.

Thinking of this, he sent an extremely brief telegram to Zhang Anping:

Southern Anhui, heavy troops, suppression!

There are only five words, but the meaning is very clear.

He believed that Zhang Anping would understand what he meant after reading the telegram.
