You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 173 Tiger’s Den
"General, if the traitor really came from the war zone, you are probably in danger now."

Iida Koji looked at Watanabe in confusion.

The traitors are all in the war zone, how can you be in danger?
After he reports to the cabinet, he will put pressure on the investigation team and ask them to investigate those people in the West End Command Center. Will they still not be able to find the traitor?
But Koji Iida still trusted Watanabe Anko's wisdom. Since she said so, Iida couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"President Watanabe, we are all in the same boat now. As you said, the traitor is definitely in the war zone. How can I be in danger? Please tell me clearly, President Watanabe."

Watanabe Anko sighed. She had not expected the situation to develop to this point.

Logically speaking, Keiko should be able to find some clues, but Keiko didn't contact her. Now they have no idea about the situation in the war zone. This makes Watanabe Anko clearly understand Nishio's trick, but she has no way to crack it.

After pondering for a long time, Watanabe Kyoko looked at Ida and said:
"General, if the military defense map sent by Nishio and the one left in the war zone are both fake, and if the map is leaked and the national army attacks according to the map, Nishio can definitely bite back, then how will you respond?"

The corner of Iida Koji's mouth twitched. These people who play with their brains have really dirty hearts.

In order to frame myself, he could even think of such a method.

By then, although he would not lose his position as the dispatch commander, with this stain on his face, it would be impossible for him to make any further progress.

He was still thinking about having a chance to go to the front line again, but now that something like this has happened, there's no point in going. He might as well just retire peacefully at the gendarmerie headquarters.

The most important thing is that after Nishio bit back, Iida still had to find the "traitor" in the gendarmerie headquarters.

Knowing that the traitor was under Nishio's command, he still asked him to investigate at the headquarters. Just thinking about it made Iida Koji so angry that his teeth were itching.

"President Watanabe, do you have any plan to deal with this?"

Anko Watanabe has also been thinking about how to deal with it.

Now that Ida asked, Watanabe could only say:
"If we have enough time, we can report the situation to the cabinet and ask them to send someone to the Central China Theater to investigate."

"After all, sending a fake military defense map to the Military Police Headquarters is a big crime, but it's not a small one either. As long as we seize the initiative and expose the facts before the National Army takes action, Nishio's plan will be defeated."

Koji Iida gave a bitter smile. If Nishio wasn't planning to plot against him this time, perhaps he could really spare enough time.

But I'm afraid that Nishio won't be able to hold back and will take the initiative to reveal the fake military defense map.

When the national army takes action, even if Iida Koji has a hundred mouths, he will not be able to explain himself.

"President Watanabe, I'm afraid Nishio won't give us so much time."

Watanabe Anko sighed, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, her brows instantly frowned, it was so unpalatable!

After putting down the teacup, Watanabe Kyoko said:
"Whether there is enough time or not, we have to do this."

"If Nishio really did that, we can do this so that the general will not be criticized in the future."

What else could Iida do but to do as Watanabe said. However, Iida already hated Nishio to death in his heart and swore that if he got the chance, he would make Nishio fall into ruin.

Shancheng, Military Control Commission headquarters, in the office of the director of the Intelligence Department.

Shen Xing had just changed a cup of tea and was about to process the intelligence that had accumulated over the past two days when Liu Mingyan from the telecommunications room hurried over and opened the door.

"report!"

Seeing Liu Mingyan, who was wearing a uniform, a tilted hat, black leather boots, and her long hair tied up, looking heroic, Shen Xing's heart skipped a beat and his eyes were fixed on the telegram book that Liu Mingyan had tucked under her armpit as she saluted.

"Tiger Girl's telegram?"

When asking this question, Shen Xing's voice trembled a little.

From the time he sent the telegram and asked Hu Niu to tell You Hu to see if he could get the latest military defense map of the Japanese army, Shen Xing has been looking forward to it every day.

Although the possibility was very small, he knew how outrageous the young tiger was, so he never gave up the idea.

Now that Liu Mingyan is here, the first thing Shen Xing thinks of is that there is a letter from Hu Niu!
Liu Mingyan smiled:

"Director, it is indeed a telegram sent by Hu Niu. It is a bit long."

Hearing the words "a bit long", Shen Xing stood up and rushed forward, taking the telegram from Liu Mingyan without a moment's wait.

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded behind Liu Mingyan:

"Teacher, you didn't even eat breakfast this morning, so my wife asked me to bring it to you."

Hearing the voice, Shen Xing's excited expression instantly subsided, replaced by a gentle smile, and he waved towards the door to let people in.

Liu Mingyan stood at one side, looking at the girl who came in curiously.

She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with neat short hair, big eyes, curved eyebrows, a straight nose and a cherry mouth. Her face made people feel like spring breeze at first sight.

Coupled with the fact that the girl gave off an overall gentle and ladylike feeling, Liu Mingyan was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Liu, there's nothing for you to do here, go back first."

Liu Mingyan responded, and before leaving, she took a deep look at the graceful girl carrying the lunch box.

"Xiao Man, your master's wife is the same. Why did she let you come here?"

The person who came was Zhou Dahe's surviving daughter Zhou Xiaoman.

She was originally fostered by Li Mingzhu's parents and became their godfather and godmother. Later, Shen Xing accepted Zhou Xiaoman as his student.

Basically, Zhou Xiaoman returned to the Li family on weekends and stayed at the Shen family from Monday to Friday, studying with Shen Xing who came home from get off work every night.

"Teacher, the school is closed now, and I don't have much to do. I'm just delivering breakfast, it won't be a problem."

Shen Xing smiled dotingly at Zhou Xiaoman, took the lunch box from her hand and placed it on the desk, then smiled at her and said:
"Since you're here, wait for me here. I'll take you to meet your uncles when I get back. You can come over here tomorrow. It's good to get to know them earlier."

Zhou Xiaoman smiled gently, folded her hands on her abdomen and stood straight, looking at Shen Xing and replied:

"Teacher, don't worry about me. Go and do your thing first. I'll just wait here."

Shen Xing really likes his disciple Zhou Xiaoman.

Although his learning ability is not as good as Zhao Xuan who he taught at the beginning, it is much better than Li Mingzhu. In school, his grades are also among the best. This is because Zhou Xiaoman puts most of her energy on courses such as intelligence, telecommunications, combat, and firearms.

Shen Xing was really proud to have such a gifted student, and he spent more and more time on Zhou Xiaoman.

After all, Zhou Xiaoman learned what he taught very quickly, and since she came today, Shen Xing also had selfish motives.

Zhou Xiaoman has almost learned all of his skills, and he is now worried that there is nothing else he can teach Zhou Xiaoman, so he wants to take her to meet people from other departments and let his old brothers take turns teaching her all the skills.

In the bureau chief's office.

As soon as Shen Xing entered the room, Boss Dai looked at him with a smile:
"Third brother, I heard that a little girl came to see you. I thought you were not coming today."

Shen Xing smiled helplessly, walked to the desk and said:
"Commander, it's Xiaoman who's here."

Looking at Shen Xing's expression, Boss Dai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a smile:
"Oh, the daughter of Zhou Dahe?"

"How is she now? How much of your skills has she learned?"

When talking about this topic, Shen Xing's eyes were full of pride:
"Commander, I'm not bragging, Xiaoman is born to be a spy. The special training class courses were just like playing house in Xiaoman's hands. Now, except for fighting, I dare say that Xiaoman is now one of the top two students no matter which class she is in."

"As for my skills, she has already learned most of them. Today, she happened to bring me breakfast, so I wanted to take her to meet some old brothers and take a look at..."

Before Shen Xing could finish, Boss Dai took over the conversation:

"By the way, let's see if I can learn all the hidden skills of your old brothers. Hahahaha, third brother, third brother, your abacus beads are about to fall on my face."

"However, since this little girl has talent, we should train her well. I look forward to her becoming the next Tiger Cub."

They both burst into laughter. After a while, Boss Dai looked at Shen Xing and asked:

"By the way, why are you coming to my place without Xiaoman?"

Shen Xing twitched his lips, slapped his forehead, and quickly delivered the telegram to Boss Dai:

"Commander, look at me. I can't stop talking when Xiaoman is mentioned. This is the telegram Xiaoliu just sent. It was sent by Huniu."

Boss Dai's smile faded and he waved his hand seriously. The two of them then leaned over the desk and quickly translated.

After seeing the translation, Boss Dai's crow's feet appeared, and Shen Xing also looked amazed.

"Commander, it really is the military defense map of Xiwei. I really can't figure out how this guy Youhu got it?"

Boss Dai let out a long breath and handed a cigarette to Shen Xing. The two of them smoked for a while before Boss Dai said leisurely:
"Yeah, how did he get it? With his ability, I believed him when someone told me he was the son of the Japanese emperor."

Shen Xing coughed repeatedly because of the smoke, and smiled awkwardly at Boss Dai:
"Cough cough!"

"Director, you have stolen the Japanese army's defense maps three times in a row. This is an incredible achievement. Will the principal really award you the National Glory Medal?"

Boss Dai was also envious and jealous when he heard this.

Last time, it was because of his talkativeness that a good colonel was reduced to a second-class Baoding Medal, which was beyond the standard.

That’s why Boss Dai thought at that time that it would be better to promote Zhao Xuan directly to the rank of colonel.

And the principal didn't seem to be joking.

If this military defense map is real, you will definitely get the Order of National Glory.

Then when the Japanese are defeated in the future, wouldn’t Zhao Xuan be the returning Dragon King?
Although Zhao Xuan is not able to take my position, but in terms of military rank, Zhao Xuan is not only on par with me, but he also has three medals to protect him. He is even more awesome than me. This is really stressful!
"Never mind that for now. What's most important is to send the information about the military defense map to Xishan Apartment. We can talk about everything after this battle is over."

Boss Dai left with the telegram, and Shen Xing naturally went back to visit friends with Zhou Xiaoman.

Japanese front-line headquarters in the Central China Theater.

Xiwei was in an unusually good mood today, and even added a can of food to the morning meal. Zhao Xuan ate the meal in a large earthenware bowl sent by Aizawa Keiko, with a holographic map of the war zone displayed in his mind.

With eight nano bees watching around the clock, Zhao Xuan can detect any slight movement in advance.

Keiko Aizawa squatted aside, resting her chin on her hands while watching Zhao Xuan eat, her mind wandering to who knows where.

"Ah Xuan, do you think Xiwei's plan will succeed this time?"

Zhao Xuan was pulled back to his senses and asked Edith to help him keep an eye on it. After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he turned his head and looked at Aizawa Keiko:

"The moment the military defense map was sent out, his plan came true."

"The most important question now is whether the traitor has sufficient knowledge of the military defense of the war zone. If so, then Nishio's plan will become empty talk. If not, then Nishio will be the biggest winner this time."

Aizawa Keiko was slightly stunned, but she suddenly reacted:

"Ah Xuan, you don't mean to say that the military defense map that Xiwei put in the safe and asked the military police to guard is fake?"

Zhao Xuan shook his head:

"I'm not sure either, but Nishio is so sure that the traitor must come from the Military Police Headquarters?"

After Zhao Xuan's reminder, Lan Ze Keiko finally understood:
"So, Nishio's plan from the beginning was to blame the Military Police Headquarters for any leaks of the military defense maps?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan fall silent, Lan Ze Huizi stood up and clenched her fists:
"Ah Xuan, if that's the case, Iida will definitely not let you go when we return. After all, it was you who proposed to send the fake military defense map to the Military Police Headquarters."

After saying that, Keiko Lanzawa suddenly understood what Zhao Xuan had just asked.

Among Nishio's men, is there anyone who is fully aware of the military defenses in various parts of the war zone?
This must be true, otherwise how could Nishio draw the military defense map.

Although Nishio has strong command capabilities, it does not mean that Nishio can draw a military defense map.

Now, Zhao Xuan has narrowed the scope of the traitors again.

The most likely person is the chief of staff beside Nishio.

Originally, Zhao Xuan thought that Lan Ze Huizi was going to fight directly, but he didn't expect that Huizi, who stood up and clenched her fists, squatted down again, sighing helplessly.

Huizi's mood now is even more complicated than yesterday.

Although she was 90% certain that the problem lay with the chief of staff, Keiko Aizawa didn't want to expose him now.

After all, once the chief of staff is exposed, it would be equivalent to playing openly against Nishio. By then, when Nishio has solved the problem here, the only problem will be with the gendarmerie headquarters. What will Zhao Xuan do then?
"Keiko, don't think too much about it. This is just my guess."

Keiko Aizawa nodded with a forced smile, and when she was about to speak, a loud explosion was heard, causing Zhao Xuan and Keiko Aizawa to stand up at the same time and look in the direction where the sound came from.

(Sir, the Nationalist army has launched an offensive, and the firepower points on the Japanese defense line were attacked at the same time. The rest area where the Japanese army was changing guards was also destroyed by this round of artillery fire.)
(Sir, the second round of artillery fire is coming. Please prepare to retreat.)
Hearing Edith's reminder, Zhao Xuan hurriedly pulled Keiko Aizawa and retreated.

Nishio was not expecting the sudden attack. He had just finished lunch when the National Army began to attack.

After hurriedly arriving at the headquarters, Nishio still had a smile on his face:

"Hattori-kun, you did a good job this time. After the failure of the National Army's attack, I wonder what this guy Ida Koji will say."

Hattori Komato, as the chief of staff, did not look very good at this moment.

Hearing the continuous sound of explosions, Hattori's heart skipped a beat. He quickly ran out of the command tent and looked far away at the place where the artillery fire fell.

A group of people from Nishio followed out without knowing why. After everyone saw the direction of the National Army's attack for a while and determined the location of the attack, the smiles on the faces of these Japanese generals froze.

"Bagaya Road——"

“Why are the locations where the Nationalist Army attacks all the firing points along the defense line?”

Nishio cursed in disbelief. He had only made two fake military defense maps this time. Could it be that the National Army could send people to infiltrate the war zone where he was stationed and find out all the details of the war zone?

Not to mention Nishio, not even a small team leader would have such an idea.

"What the hell!"

Hattori Xiaohe sighed, looked at Nishio and said:
"General, we can only retreat now."

As soon as Hattori finished speaking, a round of artillery shells fired directly towards this side.

Fortunately, they left the command center, and the shells did not land at the command center, but not far from it.

However, in this round of bombing, the Japanese direction finder was directly destroyed.

Zhao Xuan, who was running away, saw that the direction finder on the holographic map had been knocked down, and he immediately felt happy.

Without this thing, Zhao Xuan was like a dragon returning to the sea. If he couldn't help the national army completely recover Hunan this time, then his trip to the front line of the war zone would have been in vain.

However, the National Army's artillery positions were set up quite close, and there was information on the military defense map. Otherwise, the National Army would not have been able to push the artillery positions to the Japanese defense line.

As long as they bypassed the firepower points on the Japanese defense line and set up the artillery positions, it would be a devastating blow to the Japanese army.

Besides, the firepower points on the Japanese defense line have probably been eliminated long ago.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but take a breath after taking a look at the holographic map. All the Japanese army's firepower points were disappearing in large numbers.

The defending Japanese troops probably didn't expect that the National Army's artillery shells seemed to have eyes and were pouring madly towards those firing points.

Even the Japanese artillery positions were covered and destroyed by the first round of artillery fire from the National Army without even firing a single shot.

There were explosions everywhere now, and Zhao Xuan could clearly feel that Keiko Aizawa was scared.

After Xu Yuan ran away, Lan Ze Huizi hugged Zhao Xuan's arms with both hands and shouted loudly:

"Ah Xuan, we won't die here, right?"

Looking at the holographic map, Zhao Xuan shook his head, looked at Lan Ze Keiko seriously and said:

"Follow me closely, I will take you out no matter what!"

Looking at Zhao Xuan's eyes, Lan Ze Keiko nodded heavily.

However, the awake Keiko Aizawa would still affect Zhao Xuan's performance, so Zhao Xuan simply took Keiko Aizawa and ran towards the edge of the area where the shells fell.

After Edith calculated the timing, the two of them had just arrived when the shells fell. Although Zhao Xuan threw himself to protect Keiko Aizawa, Keiko Aizawa was still knocked unconscious by the sound of the shells.

After asking Edith to check Keiko Aizawa's condition and confirming that she was unconscious, Zhao Xuan picked her up and quickly headed towards the direction where the fleeing army was.

Nishio's command ability is excellent. After the initial shock, Nishio calmed down and began to organize the rear evacuation. At the same time, he selected a new line of defense and planned to rebuild it.

Under the holographic map, Zhao Xuan would never give Xiwei this opportunity.

(Edith, can the battlefield telephone be connected to the Nationalist Army headquarters?)
(Sure sir, can we connect now?)
At the same time, at the Kuomintang headquarters, Deputy Commander Li, holding a telescope, smiled with wrinkles all over his face.

The combat staff officer standing by also felt proud.

But soon, the two of them couldn't laugh anymore.

The phone calls came one after another, and the familiar taste came again.

"What is the 97th Army doing? Weren't they supposed to hold back the armored brigade at Xiwei? Why did they let it go? Twice. Twice. Once the armored brigade leaves, Xiwei can quickly build a defense line with the armored brigade. Don't those two bastards at the 97th Army know that?"

As Deputy Commander Li's guard, upon hearing his question, the guard said awkwardly:
"Commander, the 97th Army is ours."

Deputy Commander Li slapped the guard on the forehead like a burning gunpowder barrel:

"Don't I know they are my own people? If they are not my own people, how can I command them?"

"No, I can't give orders to my own people, damn it!"

At this point, Deputy Commander Li narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the guard and asked:

"Who are the 97th Army?"

"Commander Tang!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Li was furious.

The combat staff officer beside him also had a sinister look on his face:

"Commander, the Japanese armored brigade is very powerful. If you want to delay them, you will definitely pay a heavy price."

Deputy Commander Li almost smashed the telescope in his hand:

"Don't I know, this son of a bitch has happened twice, no, this is the third time!"

"The 85th Army was like this, the Second Army was like this, and now it's the 97th Army's turn. They were the ones I brought up, and they're showing off to me again."

Jingle Bell--

The phone rang, and Deputy Commander Li, who was cursing non-stop, picked up the phone angrily:
"I don't care which army you are from, stop the Japanese armored brigade immediately. If you let any of them pass, I will kill you!"

"What, who do you say you are?"

"You are in the Japanese position? What are you talking about? This is not a joke. You can steal the military defense map three times. I thank you on behalf of the military, but..."

"Okay, I get it. Just based on your code name, I'm going to take a gamble. Next, you report it and I'll fight you!!"

The operations staff was watching in amazement.
