My spy diary

Chapter 287 Ah Xiang (asking for monthly ticket)

"Director Dai."

A second lieutenant officer saluted in high spirits before Wu Gengshu, the stationmaster of Hunan Station, who came to greet him.

Dai Chunfeng recognized the man at a glance as Shi Huanjie, a student of the Linli training class, who was one of the students he personally selected to graduate early.

Dai Chunfeng particularly liked these dozens of people and arranged them all in important positions in Office A, the Personnel Department, and various departments, offices, and groups of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

He nodded with satisfaction, patted his shoulder and asked:
"Is work going well?"

Shi Huanjie said respectfully:

"Thank you for your concern, Director. All the students have been assigned important posts and are working smoothly."

Wu Gengshu, the station chief of Hunan Station, snorted lightly. Boss Dai's promotion of young people naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the veteran KMT spies. They dared not say anything, but complained constantly in private.

There is one job for each person, so why are these young guys able to occupy important positions as soon as they arrive?

Especially these rookies who are new to the job, who are ignorant of the ways of the world and think that as long as they have the trust of the director, they look down on everyone else. They are arrogant and rude to the old spies, which makes everyone even more disgusted.

The old spies were disgusted by them, and these people were also fed up with the corrupt private lives and decadent old guys. They formed groups based on their classmate relationships and secretly fought against the old spies.

These people always pretend to be Dai's students in any occasion. Whether verbally or in reports, they always call Dai "Director" to show that they are different from those spies who call him "Mr. Dai".

Everyone privately lamented that the Military Intelligence Bureau soon became a place where "only those from Li are looked at, and only those from Li are employed."

After Shi Huanjie greeted Dai Chunfeng, he saluted Zhang Yi warmly and said:

"Teacher Zhang."

When Zhang Yi heard this name, he felt a headache.

It is common sense to refer to working hours by job title.

Those who are close to the Military Control Commission call each other brothers by their titles, while those who are not familiar with them call each other by their positions or comrades.

But the young people in the Linli training class boasted about each other and called each other classmates to show their intimacy. They did not address their former instructors and team leaders by their titles but called them "teachers". One reason was to get close to them and the other was to build relationships. However, forming cliques like this was a taboo for Boss Dai.

"I went to Linli for training only as a special envoy. I have never been your instructor. Don't be so polite." Zhang Yi glanced at Dai Chunfeng and replied lightly, then greeted Wu Gengshu.

Wu Gengshu was furious, but seeing that his boss was in high spirits, he didn't want to spoil the fun. He waited until Shi Huanjie had expressed his loyalty before walking up to him and saying:

"Mr. Dai, the accommodation has been arranged."

"Yeah." Dai Chunfeng nodded, and after shaking hands, he looked at Wu Gengshu, frowned, and asked:
"Geng Shu, there's chaos in the city, what's going on?"

Wu Gengshu looked helpless and sighed, "Since yesterday, rumors have suddenly spread throughout the city, saying that 'the Japanese army has appeared 12 kilometers outside Changsha' and 'the Japanese army will enter the city tonight'. People are panicking and dignitaries and ordinary people are fleeing. The city is in chaos."

"Nonsense!" Dai Chunfeng said angrily:

"The Japanese army had just captured Wuhan and had not even consolidated its periphery, so how could they have the energy to attack Changsha?
The nearest Japanese army is 120 kilometers away from Changsha. Moreover, there are heavy troops stationed around Changsha. The commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone and Chen Tumu are both there, and the chairman is also mobilizing troops to strengthen Changsha's defense line. It is not easy for the Japanese army to break through.

The Japanese haven't come yet, but you've already lost your composure. What happened? Didn't you check?"

Wu Gengshu said stiffly: "I also think the intelligence is false. The current work should be to evacuate the people and transfer the materials. However, Chairman Zhang of the government has already begun to prepare for the anti-enemy sabotage operation. Somehow the news was leaked, and the city is even more chaotic."

Zhang Yi was in awe: "General, since the defeat in the Battle of Wuhan, Wuhan's offices, factories, refugees, and wounded soldiers have all poured into Changsha. In addition, as the rear base for the Battle of Shanghai and Nanjing, Changsha has accumulated a large amount of military supplies and population. If we don't make preparations in advance to evacuate the population and transfer supplies, and burn the city without warning, the consequences will be disastrous."

Man-made disasters are worse than natural disasters. The scorched earth policy was intended to delay the Japanese army, but the Japanese hadn't arrived yet, and the people and supplies hadn't been evacuated, but they set fire in a hurry. Was this resistance or harming their own people?

But in times of chaos, human lives are worthless. Are the lives of ordinary people still lives?
Dai Chunfeng knew very well that, not to mention other things, the Military Intelligence Bureau had stored a large amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition in Changsha, but he had no contact with Chairman Zhang and had no right to point fingers at others. If he rashly interfered with other people's countermeasures, not only would he be meddling in other people's business, but he would also be hated by others.

The top leaders of the Kuomintang have always lacked coordination and cooperation thinking. Unless the various departments have close personal relationships, they all act on their own and even hinder each other. No one cares about other people's right or wrong, success or failure. It is better to have less trouble than more.

Dai Chunfeng had a gloomy face and was silent for a while before saying:
"Go into the city first, and I'll report to the chairman first."

"Yes."

Everyone followed the order and walked towards the car. At this time, a roar suddenly sounded in the sky.

When everyone looked up, they saw two Japanese bombers roaring in from a distance, apparently scouting for military intelligence.

"Scatter quickly and hide."

This place is open and there are no air-raid shelters or bunkers at all. Driving a car rashly will only attract the attention of bombers.

But the Japanese planes arrived faster than everyone had imagined. Just as everyone dispersed, the bombers circled in the sky for a week, suddenly dived down, and began strafing and dropping bombs at low altitude.

The roar of the engine was deafening, the machine guns under the wings spewed out flames, and bullets poured down like raindrops.

"Da da da da da"

Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the entire ground was instantly covered in dust and filled with smoke.

Immediately afterwards, planes dropped heavy bombs, and as the explosions rang out, flames shot up into the sky everywhere.

"director."

Boom! A bomb exploded not far from Dai Chunfeng's car, and the car was blown away in an instant. Boss Dai was still strong and quickly lay down on the ground and rolled to avoid the bomb.

At the same time, Shi Huanjie shouted, jumped up from the ground, ran over, pressed Boss Dai under him, and used his body as a barrier to protect him.

At this moment, another bomb exploded not far from the two of them. The huge shock wave swept up the dust and buried the two of them directly.

"director."

"Mr. Dai."

"Seat."

Japanese planes roared in the distance, and everyone rushed over. It took them a long time to dig Shi Huanjie and Dai Chunfeng out of the dust.

"Director, are you injured?"

Shi Huanjie turned it over and saw Dai Chunfeng covered in dust and blood, and asked tremblingly.

"Mr. Dai?"

Boss Dai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and finally recovered. He patted the dirt off his body, looked at Shi Huanjie and said:

"I'm fine, are you injured?"

"I am fine."

Seeing that his boss was fine, Shi Huanjie grinned and tried to stand up, but suddenly he found that his legs were out of control and he was stunned.

Everyone hurriedly helped him brush off the dust on his body and checked his wounds. They saw that in addition to three gunshot wounds on Shi Huanjie's legs, there were two shrapnel embedded in his right thigh, and blood was gushing out.

"Don't move." Boss Dai stopped Shi Huanjie from struggling and took out a handkerchief to bandage his wound.

"Stationmaster Wu, send him to the nearest hospital immediately."

"Yes." Wu Gengshu nodded, and then said with some worry: "Boss, the nearest hospital can only stop the bleeding, and surgery is difficult. Huanjie is seriously injured and may need amputation."

"If you want to amputate, then amputate. Saving your life is the most important thing."

Shi Huanjie was sweating profusely. When he heard that he had to amputate his limbs, he immediately quit and struggled:
"You can't amputate my limb. Without my right leg, I will lose my life."

"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."

Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice: "When you get to the hospital, you must follow the doctor's orders. Saving your life is the most important thing."

But Shi Huanjie still gritted his teeth and shook his head:

"Even if I die, I won't amputate!"

"You don't have to worry about your future." Seeing Shi Huanjie so determined, Dai Chunfeng advised earnestly:
"There are many jobs in the Military Intelligence Bureau. You can still work even if you don't have legs. I will be responsible for arranging your life's career."

This is the promise. Thanks to the life-saving grace today, Shi Huanjie may not be rich and glorious, but at least he will have enough food and clothing.

But no matter how others tried to persuade him, Shi Huanjie insisted that his leg was still there and his life was still there. Dai Chunfeng had no choice but to ask Stationmaster Wu to take him to the hospital first.

Afterwards, several people entered Changsha City. The city had just experienced a bombing and was in a mess. Common people were running around among the broken walls like headless flies. There were cries and wails everywhere. It was a horrible sight.

Zhang Yi once again thought of a saying: It is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

"Why was there no warning beforehand for this bombing?" Dai Chunfeng frowned and asked:
"Also, there are rumors spreading throughout the city. There must be some evil enemy behind this. The Operations Department must investigate thoroughly."

"Yes." Zhang Yi nodded and accepted the order.

A prosperous area in the southwest of Changsha City, where the high-ranking officials of the Guo Party live.

Because the families of Bai Moumou, the Chief of Staff and Minister of Military Training of the Military Commission, Qian, the Director of the Aviation Committee of the Guo Party, and Zhang, the Chairman of HUN Province, lived there, and now the famous Vice President Wang, the locals called it the "Four Major Families."

In addition to the families of these four families, those living nearby were their guards, adjutants, chauffeurs, chefs, cooks, male and female servants, as well as visiting guests, filling the streets and alleys.

In order to provide good living services for the "Four Major Families", dozens of teahouses, snack shops, stores, etc. were opened next to the alley, and a reinforced army company was also opened nearby to provide security.

Just after noon, a rickshaw drove into the alley and a wealthy lady dressed fashionably got off.

She was dressed in a brocade gown and wearing sunglasses, her whole body exuding the scent of rouge, her face was as delicate as tender tofu, and she walked straight to Vice President Wang's house in high heels.

Looking at the armed guard at the door, she calmly lit a cigarette without stopping.

"Miss, stop."

"I am the lady's personal assistant, please get out of the way."

The woman spoke fluent Cantonese, flicked the ash from her cigarette with a stern face, pushed away the guard's outstretched hand, and walked in calmly.

Looking at the ancient decorations in the courtyard, a ghostly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The woman's name was Shen Biyu. She was a student at Aurora University. She later joined the Military Control Commission's Songjiang training class and joined the Loyal and Patriotic Army after graduation.

During her activities in Shanghai, she was arrested by the Special High Police. Unable to endure the torture, she defected and became a female traitor. At this moment, she is a female agent of the Special High Police, codenamed A Xiang.

A few days ago, the Special High Police introduced her to Kagesa Tadaaki, the head of the Second Section of the General Staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

This time she was ordered to come and instigate Wang Tianhai to rebel.

When Wang Tianhai heard that it was an entourage sent by his wife, he was full of doubts. His wife was indeed in Guangzhou, but there was no telegram to inform him in advance, so why did she send an entourage?

He asked the servant to bring the person in and summoned him through the screen.

"What did the lady ask you to do?"

Before Shen Biyu came, she had memorized all the information about Wang Tianhai. She knew that he had been an assassin in his early years and had been assassinated by an assassin. Therefore, she was very vigilant and didn't care at all. She glanced at the guard who was staring at her vigilantly, answered the question irrelevantly, and said to herself:

"I have always admired generosity, but I have never learned how to cultivate my spirit. Excessive sorrow and joy can cause the spirit to stagnate."

Wang Tianhai, who was hiding behind the screen and watching, was shocked when he heard this and said sternly:

"shut up."

As he said this, he quickly asked the guards and servants to go down and welcome Shen Biyu in.

"Who are you?"

Wang Tianhai's face was gloomy. The four lines of poetry recited by the other party were exactly what he wrote.

He secretly planned to assassinate Zaifeng, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, but failed, was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment.

The warden was determined to die for his country, so he composed a poem: "Draw the knife into a piece, and live up to the youth's head."

After this poem was spread, it became widely praised and Wang's reputation soared.

But later he was softened by Prince Su Shunqi, his heart loosened, and he almost surrendered. The artistic conception of some of the poems he wrote was no longer as generous as before.

The song that Shen Biyu said was about his shameful past.

He originally thought that with the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the death of those old and young people, no one would know about it anymore, but how did this woman know?

Once this disgraceful experience is exposed, it will not completely destroy the image of a "revolutionary" that he has worked so hard to build, but how will others view him?

Those competitors will inevitably make up stories and attack him.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm just a messenger."

Wang Tianhai's eyes flickered:
"Who are you delivering the message for?"

Shen Biyu said: "Section Chief Yingzuo asked me to ask you, do the things you said when you sent Chief Gao to Tokyo last time still count?

If it counts, please ask President Wang to come to Shanghai in person. Section Chief Yingzuo is in Shanghai now."

Previously, a member of the Low-Key Club, Director Gao of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, secretly went to Japan under the pretext of going to Hong Kong to collect intelligence on Japan. He met with Kagesa Tadaaki and others. The Japanese side proposed that Wang Tianhai should be the one to negotiate.

Wang Tianhai was still hesitating, but he didn't expect that the Japanese had already sent people to his door.

"No."

Wang Tianhai refused outright. Shanghai was now Japanese territory, and if he went there now, it would be tantamount to telling everyone that he wanted to be a traitor.

As soon as he said this, he felt that his refusal was too decisive, and he pondered:

"This matter requires long-term consideration. Let me think about it."

Shen Biyu sneered:
“I can wait, but can the Japanese wait?
Mr. Wang, aren't you afraid that the shameful things you did in your early years will be leaked out?"

"What do you want to do?"

Wang Tianhai was instantly panicked.
