My spy diary

Chapter 194: Killing Traitors (asking for monthly tickets)

In the Japanese military police headquarters on Sichuan Road in Shanghai, the telephone rang shrilly and the sound of chaotic and silent footsteps running up and down the stairs.

The sound of telephones, radios, footsteps, and roars threw the entire office building into chaos, and everyone was terrified.

Commander Sato Ichiro held on to his body, his red eyes staring at the red phone on the desk. The red seemed to turn into blood in his eyes, becoming more and more dazzling.

Suddenly, with a "swish", he swung the long knife in his hand and cut an exquisite porcelain vase on the table into two pieces. The porcelain vase fell to the ground and shattered.

Ichiro Sato stood beside the desk with a grim face, and several secretaries and attendants stood beside him. Everyone bowed their heads and stood by, not daring to breathe.

At this time, the office door was pushed open. Sato Ichiro's eyes were wide open. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw a short, fat man walked in, followed by Kawashima Yoshiko, who was dressed as a man.

"What are you doing here?" Sato looked at the fat man coldly, pointed at several secretaries and followers, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Get out, all of you."

Doiyuan knew that Sato was making an indirect accusation, but his face remained calm. He bowed his short and fat body slightly and said solemnly:

"Sato-kun, please accept my condolences."

As he said this, he walked towards the rest area next to his desk. On the wall here hung a sun flag with the words "Long-lasting Military Fortune" written on it. Below it was a wooden stand with two samurai swords on it.

Doiyuan knelt down and said, "Mr. Sato, please accept my condolences. I am also very sorry about what happened to my nephew Junming.
But victory and defeat are common in the military. Today, I am here with the Flower of the Empire to deal with the follow-up work of this matter."

Sato's gloomy gaze fell on Dohyo's face, which was distorted with anger.

"This is not a matter of condolence, this is a shame, a shame for the Military Police Headquarters, a shame for the Special Higher Police, a shame for you, a fat guy, and even more a shame for me!

My nephew is dead, dozens of well-trained agents of the Empire are dead, how can I explain this to Junming's mother? You should know how those politicians in Tokyo will discredit our ability to do things in Shanghai."

As he spoke, he glanced at Kawashima Yoshiko and said calmly:
"The name of the Flower of the Empire is well known. I wonder if you have any advice for me this time?"

Kawashima Yoshiko bowed and answered cautiously:

"In response to the current situation in Jinling, I have planned two strategies. The first is a decapitation operation, and the second is a hunting operation."

"Decapitation operation?" Sato raised his eyebrows and looked at Tobi.
"You, the Special High Police, have not given up on assassinating Chang?

In China, countless people have attempted to assassinate him, including the assassination king Wang Yaqiao, who once killed imperial generals and many senior officers with bombs. He was killed by Dai Chunfeng.

Doiyuan explained: "Sato-kun, you have to believe in the strength and planning ability of the Empire Flower. She has proven her talent in Huanggutun, the September 18th Incident, the Manchuria-Mongolia Movement, and the Shanghai 128 Incident."

Sato frowned and said, "Although I don't know as much about China as you do, I also know that this is a different time. There is an old Chinese saying, 'the right time, the right place, and the right people'.

Since the Chang'an incident, Dai Chunfeng has been personally responsible for Chang's security. He has experienced several bombings, stayed at home and rarely went out, and his security work was foolproof.

The failure of Nanzō Yunko's assassination plan is a precedent. It is not easy to kill him. As long as the Empire successfully takes over Shanghai and Nanjing, Chang will definitely surrender. "

Tu Feiyuan scoffed at his statement and shook his head.

"Yes, this action is very dangerous and has a high probability of failure, but how do we know it won't work if we don't do it? Why don't you ask about the details of the decapitation plan, Mr. Sato?"

“The war has already begun for more than a month. Although those in the military claim that China can be destroyed in three months, based on the current war situation, this is obviously impossible.

Even if we can quickly end the war in China, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. How can we have the spare energy to capture the entire Southeast Asia or even Asia in a short time? As long as we kill Chang, the Chinese army will inevitably become a mess, which will greatly shorten the time it takes for us to occupy China. "

Sato was a little dissatisfied, but still asked:
"Decapitation operation? I'd like to hear more about it."

The fat guy smiled slyly and told the story slowly.

Woo-woo-woo

The piercing air raid sirens suddenly sounded.
Zhang Yi leaned his head out of the office window and saw the roar of planes. Many people on the street were running desperately in panic. However, due to the lack of effective organization, everyone started running in different directions instead of towards the air-raid shelter.

Boom, boom.

The roar of planes rose and fell like waves, and the sound of bombing resounded throughout Jinling.

The violent explosions were deafening. The huge shadows of the bombers covered the sky. Bombs fell rapidly, reaping lives like the scythe of the god of death.

The huge shock wave caused dust to fly everywhere, and countless houses and buildings quickly collapsed. Wailing and screaming echoed throughout the city.

The flames spread, the hot air waves blew people's clothes, sadness and fear surged into people's hearts like a tide, there was wailing, it was a tragic sight.

The phone in the office suddenly started ringing. Zhang Yi picked it up and found out it was a call from Room A.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yi immediately took Monkey Qian Xiaosan and others to rush towards Honggong Temple.

The sound of anti-aircraft guns and the huge roar of Chinese fighter planes taking off were heard in the air. The Japanese planes dropped several bombs again and quickly fled.

Jinling was in ruins after the bombing. The streets were filled with strangers' faces and corpses lying in the middle of the streets. It was a sight that shook people's minds. Walking through the streets littered with corpses, Zhang Yi gritted his teeth in hatred.

"The damned little Japanese must make these beasts pay with blood."

Zhang Yi rushed to the Honggong Temple with a heavy heart.

In the conference room, Dai Chunfeng sat in the main seat with a gloomy face. When he saw that everyone was present, he slammed the table and said:

"Just now a Japanese bomber dropped a bomb on the chairman's headquarters."

Amid the uproar of the crowd, he snorted coldly and continued:
"Fortunately, the bomb did not fall inside the mansion, but somewhere nearby."

It turned out that a Japanese bomber dropped a bomb directly on the Nanjing Committee Headquarters, destroying it. At that time, Chang was watching a movie with the air force who had made contributions in the August 13th Air Battle.

The explosion of the bomb frightened Chang so much that he lost his wits and the headquarters was in chaos.

Just when everyone was still in shock, a guard reported that the bomb did not explode inside the headquarters, but fell nearby.

Chang quickly broke free from the guards, crawled out from under the table, and yelled at Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou beside him:

"Damn it, how did the Japanese planes get here? Are you all good-for-nothings?"

...At this moment, Dai Chunfeng said with a stern face: "The pressure is now on our secret service department. If the Japanese planes did not have the cooperation of the ground personnel, how could they accurately find the chairman's headquarters?"

He looked at Wei Daming, the head of the Telecommunications Department:
"Did the Telecommunications Department detect any suspicious radio signals before the bombing?"

Wei Daming said bitterly, "Mr. Dai, the Telecommunications Department did detect an unknown radio signal before the bombing. Not only the radio station, but also the radio operator was new. We have never heard of this method before, but the radio waves ended very quickly, and there was no way to determine the location."

Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly and said solemnly, "A newcomer is not necessarily a novice. He can grasp the whereabouts of the chairman. I think it is another spy case of collusion between insiders and outsiders. The chairman is furious and naturally wants to solve the case immediately. What ideas do you have?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Qiwu behind him said eagerly:
"Director, I suggest that we strengthen the monitoring of radio signals. First, determine the approximate range, and then use the method of power outage in different areas to force out the hidden enemy stations."

This was just the most common method. Everyone present at the meeting sneered in their hearts, but they were all shrewd and did not show their emotions on their faces. They just turned their eyes to Dai Chunfeng.

Boss Dai knew that Mao Qiwu had lost his prestige because he and Xiang Xinying had failed in their mission to assassinate the traitor Yin Rugeng in North China. He was now eager to prove himself and gain a foothold in the Secret Service. He thought for a moment and nodded:
"Then let Secretary Mao handle this matter, with the cooperation of the Telecommunications Department, Intelligence Department, and Operations Department."

The heads of several departments who were called immediately stood up and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, Zhang Yi stays, and the rest of you can leave."

As soon as Dai Chunfeng finished speaking, he heard the head of the military department, Yang Wei, suddenly say:
"Director, I have something important to report."

Everyone looked at him in surprise, but didn't say much, pretending it had nothing to do with them.

This person is a traitor of the Red Party. Some time ago, he infiltrated the delegation of senior advisors of the Guo Party to visit Pagoda Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to collect intelligence.

Dai Chunfeng had high hopes for him, but this guy didn't get any information and finally returned empty-handed. Dai's attitude towards him also became cold.

"Wait a moment. I have something to ask Secretary Mao." Boss Dai glanced at him and walked out of the meeting room. Zhang Yi followed closely behind him.

When he arrived at the office, Dai Chunfeng sat down on a chair, rubbed his brows tiredly, and smacked his lips twice in anger:
"You and your action team destroyed the Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing. You have made outstanding contributions. You will be recorded in the merit book, but you will be awarded the medal."

He pondered for a while and said, "You should be rewarded for your merits. Go to the General Affairs Office to collect your reward of 50,000 yuan."

Zhang Yi knew that Boss Dai had fought with the Japanese spy Minamimoto Sanetaka in Shanghai and had defrauded hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now that he was well-off, fifty thousand was just a drop in the bucket.

"You are too kind, Mr. Director. I am just doing my duty." Zhang Yi said modestly. Seeing that Dai Chunfeng was still interested, he took the initiative to ask:

"Vice-Director, is there any mission?"

Dai Chunfeng looked at him approvingly, raised two fingers and said:
"Two things, both about traitors, one is Yin Rugeng, the other is Zhang Ziyi."

"In line with the national anti-Japanese war situation, our secret service department is going to find a few traitors to kill as a warning to the rest. This is also what the chairman meant."

"Zhang Zizang is a traitor?" Even though Zhang Yi was quite shrewd, he was stunned when he heard the news. His heart was extremely shocked and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

In the education Zhang Yi received, Zhang was a famous anti-Japanese general and a national hero. Such a person should not be slandered by anyone. How could he be a traitor?
Then Dai Chunfeng laughed sarcastically, took a newspaper from the table and said:

"Beijing fell on July 7. On the same day, the National Government ordered Song Zheyuan's troops to retreat."

Since the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, the 29th Army withdrew from Peiping after paying huge sacrifices and fighting the enemy for more than 20 days.

At this time, Zhang Ziyi, commander of the 38th Division of the 29th Army, was ordered to stay in Peiping and serve as acting mayor of Peiping to negotiate post-war issues with the Japanese.

A few days later, the streets and alleys of Peking were filled with Zhang's notices to reassure the people, advising them not to panic and to go about their business.

However, what Zhang did not expect was that he would become known as "North China's most popular traitor" and "Zhang the rebel" in the eyes of the public and newspaper media.

Dai Chunfeng said disdainfully: "Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu, who were of equal status to him, fought bravely and sacrificed their lives for justice, but Zhang, on the other hand, openly cooperated with the Japanese and even issued a notice to reassure the people. If he is not a traitor, who is a traitor?"

“The author said: What you see with your eyes may not be the truth.

The public and the media really got it wrong. Zhang endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens. How could he be a traitor?
Later, General Zhang used his heroic death wrapped in his horse's hide to wash away the shameful name bestowed on him by those ignorant Chinese people, because he would rather sacrifice his life than sacrifice his dignity.

What is a hero? A cold monument. What is a martyr? A lonely tomb.

Dai Chunfeng spoke with certainty, but Zhang Yi didn't believe it.

Because he was sure that this was not true, he could step out of the historical context of the time and use the modern "God's perspective" to evaluate the people and events of that time, but this was obviously impossible for people of this era.

After the "Lugouqiao Incident", the Japanese army approached Beijing in large numbers.

During this process, Song Zheyuan still underestimated the Japanese army's determination to invade China in an all-out manner, and he believed that by being friendly with Japan, he could preserve his territory of Peiping and Tianjin.

Then how could the Japanese, having torn off their hypocritical masks, give him face?

When the enemy was at the gates of the city, Song Zheyuan withdrew with his large army on the pretext of "retaining some foundation of the Northwest Army". He left the mess to Zhang Ziyi.

Dai Chunfeng continued, "Zhang first fled to a German hospital, and then escaped from the city through other means. When he arrived in Shandong, he was detained by Han Fuju. You don't have to worry about this. Your main task this time in the north is to assassinate the traitor Yin Rugeng."

Who is Yin Rugeng?
This man studied in Japan in his early years and established connections with the Japanese military and political circles through his Japanese wife.

After returning to China, he served in the Peking government, studied Sino-Japanese issues, and engaged in speculative activities among various warlords.

Soon, because of his familiarity with Japan, he was favored by Chang and was appointed as the National Government's special diplomatic envoy to Japan. He signed many humiliating treaties with Japan on behalf of Chang.

In 35, this man actually contacted some ambitious people to form the "Hebei-Eastern Anti-Red Autonomous Government" and became its chairman himself.

But this so-called autonomous government was actually just a puppet organization under the leadership of Japan. Chang hated it with a vengeance, but due to the Japanese's face, he could not act rashly and could only monitor him.

There is a saying that goes, "Misfortunes sent by Heaven can be pardoned, but those brought upon oneself cannot." After this fellow openly betrayed his country and surrendered to the enemy, he began to print banknotes on a large scale, engaged in drug trafficking and smuggling, and plundered the local area at will. In the end, even his own men could not stand it anymore.

After the July 7 Incident, the security corps under this man, led by Zhang Qingyu, rebelled and annihilated a Japanese squadron and more than 400 secret agents stationed in Tongzhou City, and captured Yin Rugeng alive.

Yin Rugeng was rescued by the Japanese army during the escort process and was arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese gendarmerie because of this incident.

After being detained for a period of time, he was released.

When Mr. Chang thought of this person now, he naturally wanted to beat the man who was down and kill him to warn a hundred others.

"Yes, I'll obey your command!" Zhang Yi stepped forward and bowed, then agreed.
