Agents of the Republic of China

"Mr. Jiang has decided that Lin Xiaotang must not be allowed to lose his position in the enemy-occupied area." At the same time, in a tavern in Ciqikou, Wang Sheng and Xiao Shanling were dressed in ordinary clothes, like two ordinary drinkers, mingling in the noisy In the environment, Wang Sheng drank a glass of wine and said to Xiao Shanling slowly.

"Lin Xiaotang's identity is still being kept secret. Many people, including the military commander, don't know his true identity. This time, Dai Li is determined to take him under the knife. What can we do?" Xiao Shanling said. said worriedly.

Wang Sheng looked at Xiao Shanling, he was worried about Xiao Shanling.Now, Jiang Jingguo's political achievements in Jiangxi and the information that the puppet government transported counterfeit banknotes into the Kuomintang-controlled area made the old man very happy. On the one hand, he was cautious, for fear that Xiao Jiang's wings would grow and he would form a small circle with strong strength.So at this time, Xiao Jiang is also walking on thin ice, not daring to make a wrong step.

But for Lin Xiaotang, Xiao Jiang Jiang Jingguo was determined to win.As we all know, the current military command is no less powerful than the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. The military command not only controls the intelligence channels, but also firmly controls all key industries in the Kuomintang-controlled area. They want money and people. , with many eyes and ears, and everywhere, this is the true portrayal of the current military system.

Because of this, many people have the idea of ​​military reunification, some people want to replace Dai Li, and some people want to infiltrate the power into the military reunification, but people with these two ideas have all failed without exception. up.There are two reasons. First, Dai Li himself is definitely a genius in intelligence work, and his ability is beyond doubt; second, Chiang Kai-shek's trust and dependence on Dai Li.

For the sweet pastry of military reunification, Chiang Ching-kuo also has faith to step in, not for anything else, but for the ubiquitous eyes and ears and one-step efficiency. This is definitely an indispensable weapon in political fighting.But Jiang Jingguo never dared to move, including the establishment of a youth training class in Jiangxi. He only imitated the practice of the military command to train young cadres, but he did not dare to blatantly train special agents.

Until Wang Sheng and Xiao Shanling introduced Lin Xiaotang to him, Jiang Jingguo suddenly had the feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds.The resources in Lin Xiaotang's hands are things that he doesn't have and at the same time he is extremely eager to have.It can be said that Lin Xiaotang is a key that can open the intelligence world. At this critical moment, Jiang Jingguo will never allow others to touch his only key.

Wang Sheng thought about it carefully. As Jiang Jingguo's absolute confidant, Wang Sheng knew very well what his boss was thinking. The more at this time, the less he could use too much of his own resources. You know, this is Chongqing. , every move is under the control of the old man, once he finds that his team is not willing to be mediocre, what awaits him will definitely be the most severe punishment.

Therefore, only some marginalized characters can be used at this time.For example, Xiao Shanling is a good candidate.As the former Nanjing Division Commander and Deputy Commander of the Gendarmerie, Xiao Shanling’s connections and relationships are unquestionable. Although he is now only a nominal deputy commander of the garrison, Mr. Xiao Jiang repeatedly reminded Wang Sheng that he must establish a good relationship with Xiao Shanling. , because that is the necessary temptation and experience for the old man before he can reuse him.

Wang Sheng helped Xiao Shan order a glass of wine, "Brother, you have to do this. I know that you had dealt with the military commander when you were in Nanjing, and you had a good relationship with Mao Renfeng and Tang Zong. Now, You might as well make use of these relationships. In fact, the military command appears to be monolithic on the surface, but the fight has never stopped in private. Our requirements are not high, as long as we can maintain the status quo. You are very clear about the importance of Lin Xiaotang's current position. As long as we can keep him, we have no other requirements."

Xiao Shanling nodded, "Xiao Linzi is also my brother, even if you don't tell me, I will help him. Don't worry, I will do my best."

With a "pop", the wine glasses of the two lightly touched together.

……

Shangchunyangdong Street in Guanyinyan, Chongqing has the famous "Anti-Building Hall".

Since the national government moved its capital to Chongqing, Chongqing has gradually become a national center for cultural and drama performances.The five major theater troupes, including China Drama Club, China Long Live Theater Troupe, China Electricity Drama Club, China Art Drama Club, and Central Youth Drama Club, have moved to Chongqing one after another, and Xia Yan, Wu Zuguang, Shi Dongshan, etc. have also been attracted to Chongqing one after another. This form of performance has formed an unprecedented upsurge in Chongqing.

At the beginning of the 29th year of the Republic of China, Guo Moruo, then director of the Third Office of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, decided to build a new performance venue after being the head of the China Long Live Theater Company affiliated to the China Film Studio.After the theater was completed, Guo Moruo invited Lin Sen, Chairman of the Nationalist Government, to title the theater with the slogan "Anti-Japanese Victory and National Reconstruction."

After the completion of the Anti-Jiang Hall, the latest progressive drama was performed for Chongqing soldiers and civilians continuously during the intermission period of the Japanese bombing. Applause, very lively.

Tonight's sky is cloudy, obviously, the Japanese army will not carry out bombing at this time.As usual, the Kangjian Hall staged dramas. Today's drama is "Tiger Talisman", which also attracted a large number of Chongqing people to gather in the Guanyinyan area early.

Bai Qi was dressed in short clothes, with a broken felt hat on his head, and a pole on his shoulders. Two shelves filled with candies were floating on his shoulders, like a businessman walking around the streets.

After squeezing through the crowd for half an hour, Bai Qi walked to the door of a tavern, put down the pole with the shelves on it, squatted on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel on his shoulders, and chanted listlessly: "Candy, American Candy!"

A man in a suit walked in front of Bai Qi, and suddenly found that his shoelaces were untied, so he quickly squatted down, but whispered: "The target is the second table on the right side of the door."

Bai Qi nodded imperceptibly, "You retreat first, the military commander has noticed this piece of information, and handed it over to our department for execution. I will follow up and inform you if there is any situation."

The man in the suit continued: "Also, Lin Xiaotang has arrived in Chongqing after being notified by the superior. The superior instructed to ensure his safety at all costs."

Bai Qi nodded with a wry smile, and said to himself: "I have to wipe this kid's ass again!"

After the man in the suit tied his shoelaces, he stood up and walked into the crowd.

While hawking, Bai Qi kept casting his eyes on the location inside the tavern.A man in a jacket sits with his back to that position, seemingly pouring himself a drink.

There were a lot of people in the tavern, and people coming and going kept passing by the door, but the man's face turned pale and he couldn't see clearly.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, and the crowd exploded and scattered in all directions. In the open space in the middle, there was a person lying impressively, who was the underground party agent who had just met Bai Qi.

A dagger was stuck in his chest, his eyes were looking at Bai Qi's position, his body was twitching continuously, fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he stopped breathing for a moment.

Bai Qi's pupils contracted suddenly, he abruptly stopped his steps, and then hurriedly turned his head to look at the figure in the tavern.

But the seats were already empty.

……

Behind several buildings is a steep and steep stone wall that goes straight up and down. Two black shadows quickly entered a hole in the stone wall. Panting heavily, they squatted down slowly, taking advantage of the dim light from the hole. They looked at each other.

The man in the jacket in the tavern looked at the black figure in front of him. It was a man in his 40s, about the same size as himself, with a beard. "You, who are you, what are you doing here?"

The bearded man smiled, "Harada-kun, I'm here to help you!"

The face of the man in the jacket changed, and a revolver appeared in his hand like a magic trick, and he pressed it against the bearded chest in a blink of an eye, "Who the hell are you?"

The bearded man smiled nonchalantly: "Masao Harada, affiliated to the Intelligence Division of the Sixth Front Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, sneaked into the Chongqing Sichuan Army's Anti-aircraft Artillery Brigade, and his code name was the one-armed bandit (Note [-])! Is that right?"

The bearded man didn't wait for Masao Harada to respond, so he directly revealed his identity, "Don't get me wrong, I have no malicious intentions. I am Ichiro Satobe, commander of the Jiandao Special Team of the Kwantung Army, and I was ordered to sneak into Chongqing this time to be able to find you!"

"Kwantung Army?" Harada Masao was taken aback. "What do I have to do with you?"

The bearded Ichiro Watanabe still had a smile on his face, "Harada-kun, you are too careless, you know, if we hadn't rescued you, you would have been firmly targeted by someone now, although I don't know which part they belong to, but I It's definitely the enemy."

"So you guys killed the person!" Harada Masao said, slowly lowering his hand holding the gun. "I am an officer of the Chinese Dispatch Army, and I have no handover with the Kwantung Army. What do you want me to do?"

Ichiro Watanabe approached Masao Harada, "Our Kwantung Army is going to carry out an operation that can change the situation of the battle, and we need your assistance."

Harada Masao put away his pistol, "I'm sorry, I can't work for you without authorization. If you want to get assistance, please contact the Sixth Front Army Command."

Harada Masao turned around and was about to leave when Watanabe Ichiro called out to him loudly, "Harada-kun, do you want to be mediocre for the rest of your life? Do you know that if our operation is successful, the Battle of China will soon be over. At the end, our hundreds of thousands of elite troops in China will immediately go to the southern battlefield, you come to think about it, once our elites arrive in Nanyang, how long can the Americans and British last?"

Harada Masao trembled, but he still didn't stop.

"Harada-kun, aren't these enough to tempt you? What about your partner and partner--Helvina (Note [-])?" Watanabe Ichiro then shouted.

Harada Masao finally stood still, and slowly turned around, "You are also a member of the emperor, do you know what you are doing?"

Ichiro Watanabe laughed, "Because I am a member of the Imperial Army, honor and life can be discarded for the victory of the holy war."

Ichiro Watanabe knelt down facing Masao Harada, staring fiercely at his face, "You must promise me, otherwise, Helvina will be the first victim."

Note 1: One-armed bandit.This is a historical fact. The one-armed bandit sent spies for the Japanese army, sneaked into the anti-aircraft artillery unit of the Sichuan Army in Chongqing, colluded with Chiang Kai-shek’s German adviser Helvina, and collected intelligence information on a large scale. The important information at 00 feet was notified to the Japanese secret service through a coded radio station, causing the Japanese planes to fly above 1 feet after entering the sky over Chongqing, avoiding the attack of the Chinese antiaircraft artillery units, throwing bombs frantically, and coming and going freely.

Through the American embassy, ​​the Nationalist government hired Herbert Yardley, a deciphering expert and the father of American ciphers, to come to China to teach wireless cipher communication deciphering technology and assist in the detection of the Japanese spy case in Chongqing.According to the arrangement rules of letters and digits in his communication code, Yardley discovered that this code is a book code, and the original is an English novel. This English novel.

Later, Yardley got close to the one-armed thief through the patriot Ms. Xu Zhen, and took the opportunity to sneak into his room, and finally found the English novel that served as the code base in his study——The Promise of the Famous American Female Writer Pearl S. Buck Bell Prize for the novel "The Great Earth".As a result, the one-armed thief and the Japanese spy network he was in charge of were cracked.

But later, Ms. Xu Zhen was retaliated by Japanese spies and died unfortunately.
