My Spy Years

Seeing that Miyazaki Kentaro still looked disapproving, his words and expressions were full of disdain for the Red Party's New Fourth Army, Imamura Hyoutarou didn't say anything, but directly opened the filing cabinet, pulled out a pile of documents and threw them to him .

 Cheng Qianfan took the document with both hands and opened it to read.

This is a stack of military information about the battle between the Imperial Locust Army and the New Fourth Army.

In June, the New Fourth Army attacked Xushuguan Station, an important imperial stronghold on the railway line, at night, annihilating more than fifty people under Imperial Guard Captain Yamamoto and a squadron of appeasement troops. At the same time, the New Fourth Army also blew up an iron bridge. The explosion broke the rails, forcing transportation on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to be interrupted for three days.

In July, the New Fourth Army once again crossed the railway line and entered Qingpu, Shanghai, and fought four times within a week with the Qingpu security team, posing a great threat to the railway lines along Qingpu.

The New Fourth Army's entry into Qingpu was also a landmark event, which meant that the New Fourth Army had completely entered the western suburbs of Shanghai. This had a great impact on the empire's rule over Shanghai, especially the popular sentiment among the Chinese people in Shanghai. The locust army in Shanghai is under great threat.

The empire immediately mobilized troops from various places and dispatched tanks and armored vehicles to raid Qingpu Dongxiang.

 In August, a fierce battle broke out between the Empire and the New Fourth Army near Guanyintang. The resistance of the New Fourth Army was very tenacious, and the military goal of the Locust Army to sweep away Guanyintang was thwarted.

 According to imperial military statistics, the New Fourth Army has contained one-sixth of the Locust Army's strength in the occupied areas of central China.

Especially, half of the approximately twenty-six garrison troops deployed by the empire in central China regularly fight against the New Fourth Army. In addition, almost all of the nearly 100,000 various "servant armies" who defected to the empire are used to deal with the New Fourth Army.

According to statistics, in more than a year, the Locust Army has fought more than a thousand battles with the New Fourth Army, causing heavy losses.

 …

“Nani!” Cheng Qianfan exclaimed with an incredulous expression in his eyes, “How could these poorly equipped peasant armies cause so much trouble to the locust army?”

"Although the Red Party's New Fourth Army has crude weapons and fewer numbers than the surrounding Kuomintang troops, they are determined to fight." Hyōtaro Imamura said with a serious expression, "The most important thing is that they will take the initiative to attack the Locust Army. , instead of always fighting passively, this kind of military force must definitely be in the first strike order, do you understand?"

 “Hai!” Cheng Qianfan nodded respectfully and said.

He understood what Hyoutaro Imamura meant. For those Chinese troops who fled around the locust army when they encountered it, it was just scabies and nothing to worry about. However, for those like the Red Party New Fourth Army who not only did not avoid it, but even The Chinese army that takes the initiative to attack the locust army must focus its attacks to destroy the Chinese army's courage to fight.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan showed surprise. He actually saw a statistics of the New Fourth Army's internal battle results in this document.

  This is a statistics showing the combat performance of the New Fourth Army from May of the 27th year of the Republic of China to the present.

 Divided into captured results, blasting results, prisoners, and enemy and friendly casualties.

 The seizure results are divided into: weapons and ammunition, military supplies and others.

The weapons and ammunition are divided into 3021 long guns, 164 short guns, 83 machine guns, 26 bayonets, 1 mortar, 1 small steel cannon, 6 grenades, 29 bombs, 1 poison gas bomb, and rifle grenades 2, 2 smoke bombs, 199 grenades, 84,041 rounds of ammunition, 7 boxes, 31 artillery shells, 16 boxes, etc.

 The results of blasting are also subdivided into combat equipment, transportation equipment, roads, electrical materials, etc.

 Including destroying 1 enemy aircraft, 3 motorboats, 3 ships, etc.

 91 Japanese soldiers and 1,449 puppet soldiers were captured.

  The enemy suffered 13,317 casualties and ours suffered 3,953 casualties.

 “This is impossible!” Cheng Qianfan was a little excited as he held the statistics sheet.

 “Bag duck down!” Hyotarō Imamura scolded Kentaro Miyazaki and told him to calm down, “Kentaro, you are too noisy!”

"Teacher, this report says that nearly a hundred Locust officers and soldiers were captured by the New Fourth Army!" Cheng Qianfan said emotionally, "They are spreading rumors. This is a slander and humiliation to the loyal and fearless Locust Army warriors."

“The Chinese army always likes to exaggerate the results of its battles, so don’t pay attention to it.” Imamura Hyoutaro glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki and said calmly.

 “Hai.” Cheng Qianfan looked relieved when he heard Hyotaro Imamura say this.

 He was sneering in his heart.

On the one hand, Hyotarō Imamura was angry because of his disdain for the New Fourth Army, and reprimanded him to face up to the threats that the New Fourth Army might bring. On the other hand, he 'naturally' chose to accuse the New Fourth Army of deliberately exaggerating and spreading rumours. .

The reason is very straightforward. The Japanese army has always been unwilling to admit that Japanese officers and soldiers were captured by the Chinese army. In the Japanese army's battle reports, the Japanese officers and soldiers were only brave warriors who fought bravely to bring glory to His Majesty the Emperor. There will never be any prisoners. There will be no so-called 'deserters'.

 …

"Chu Mingyu is still seeking the Executive Yuan?" Imamura Hyoutaro asked after taking a sip of tea.

“Yes, teacher.” Cheng Qianfan nodded, “Chu Mingyu’s biggest wish is to take charge of the Executive Yuan.”

As he said that, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, do you think Chu Mingyu has great hope?"

 “Tell me your opinion first.” Hyoutaro Imamura asked rhetorically without answering.

Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before saying, "Teacher, I still tend to think that Chu Mingyu has hope."

 He paused and continued, "Chu Mingyu is still capable. The most important thing is that he is deeply trusted by Wang Quanhai and his wife..."

"At the appropriate time, you can persuade Chu Mingyu to seek the position of deputy dean." Hyoutaro Imamura shook his head and said.

“Vice Dean...” Cheng Qianfan thought, “Who is the Dean, Chen Nanhai or Zhou Liang...”

He frowned slightly and looked at Imamura Hyōtaro, but when he saw Imamura Hyōtaro smiling, his heart moved, "What the teacher means is that Wang Qinhai will not delegate power, he will..."

"It's just speculation." Imamura Hyoutarou shook his head, "Given the temperament of Wang Qinhai..."

 Speaking, he smiled.

 Cheng Qianfan nodded, understanding what Mr. Imamura meant.

Wang, who is wearing a monkey hat and wearing a crown, is increasingly reluctant to give up power.

 …

 The car was driving through the streets of Hongkou, and Cheng Qianfan was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and dozing off.

 During this visit to Hyōtaro Imamura, he came into contact with two important pieces of information.

 First, according to Hyotaro Imamura’s judgment, Wang Takumi seems to be worried about handing over the position of President of the Executive Yuan to others. This is because he intends to concurrently hold the position of President of the Executive Yuan.

And based on Cheng Qianfan’s understanding of Hyōtaro Imamura, this should not only be derived from Hyōtaro Imamura’s personal inference. In other words, it is possible that the Wang family has expressed similar demands to the Japanese side through some channels in a relatively subtle way.

 Yes, Wang Chuanhai wants to concurrently serve as the president of the Executive Yuan as a ‘leader’, but it cannot be done without the Japanese’s nod.

There is another piece of information, which is the statistical table of the New Fourth Army's battle results that he saw in the document that Hyōtaro Imamura and him looked at.

 Based on Cheng Qianfan’s judgment and experience, that statement is true.

In other words, this is indeed a statistical report on the results of the New Fourth Army.

  Such reports will only appear in the hands of staff at higher levels or in very critical positions.

So, the fact that the enemy actually had such a report on the results of the New Fourth Army in his hands had to make Cheng Qianfan highly vigilant. The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt.

 Is an important person arrested? Was this document captured by the enemy along with the comrade's arrest?

 Or is it that the enemy obtained relevant intelligence through some means?

 If it is the latter, it means that there are important spies of the enemy within me. Yes, the battle report itself may not be considered highly confidential, but the meaning behind it is not simple.

 …

There was a squeak.

 A sudden brake.

Cheng Qianfan's head hit the back of the seat. He almost subconsciously reached for his briefcase and pulled out his Browning pistol, his eyes dark and dangerous.

 “Brother Fan, are you okay?” Haozi asked quickly.

“I’m fine.” Cheng Qianfan said calmly. The finger of his right hand did not leave the trigger, and he looked at the front of the vehicle alertly.

This is when a mule in a mule cart suddenly became stubborn and blocked the road in the middle of the road. Haozi had to brake urgently.

Li Hao didn't get out of the car. The bodyguard vehicle stopped. The two people got out of the car and guarded the two sides of Xiao Cheng's car. Hou Pingliang brought a man forward with a weapon to check the situation. The driver of the bodyguard vehicle did not turn off the engine. Always be prepared for emergencies.

Hum, bang, bang.

 Several gunshots were fired.

Cheng Qianfan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He looked clearly in the car and seemed to see that he, the real owner, did not get out of the car. The other party could only take action forcefully. The driver of the mule cart was about to pull out the short gun on his waist, and he Hou Pingliang shot him in the arm and the gun fell to the ground.

 At the same time, another bodyguard shot and killed the mule continuously.

 This is the correct treatment. Mules are also one of the great dangers.

 Especially a frightened mule.

The sound of gunshots startled a man behind a tree on the roadside. The man ran away. Hou Pingliang shot the man twice in the back. The man gritted his teeth and ran away after being shot.

Hou Pingliang waved and signaled another vehicle that was following him at a distance and secretly on guard to come over. He searched the surroundings and confirmed that there was no danger, and then asked Brother Fan to get out of the car and come over.

The injured coachman has been **** with ropes.

Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before squatting down, slapping the assassin's face with the gloves he had just taken off and saying, "Which way?"

 The injured coachman said nothing.

Cheng Qianfan smiled brightly, and said with a smile, "You have a strong bone."

As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan took two puffs of cigarette, and then pressed the red and sparkling cigarette **** into the coachman's face, "Why bother."

 The coachman let out a shrill scream.

 “Say, wo say, wo say.”

 “Wo, Wo are Boss Zhang’s people.”

 …

 At this time, Cheng Qianfan was indeed a bit unpredictable.

The person who assassinated him at the Bund pier confessed that he was a member of the Sixth Group of the Military Tong Operation in Shanghai. It was the military commander who wanted to kill him.

 After careful consideration, Cheng Qianfan believed that the military commander should not take action against him at this time.

 However, experience and intuition told him that the assassin named Xiang Wei was indeed a military commander in all likelihood, which also meant that the assassination on the Bund did come from the military commander in Shanghai.

 As for the assassination attempt just now, the assassin who was captured alive quickly confessed.

Assassin Wu Mingfa, a Pengcheng native living in Shanghai, confessed that he was Zhang Xiaolin's man, and he was ordered to assassinate the "Mr. Xiao Cheng" of the French Concession on the orders of Boss Zhang's housekeeper Sui Ermu.

 The torture room of the Central Patrol Room.

Cheng Qianfan looked at Wu Mingfa, who was tortured and bloody, with a gloomy expression on his face.

There should be no problem with Wu Mingfa's confession and his confession is credible.

In other words, this person is indeed Zhang Xiaolin's, and he came to assassinate him on the order of Zhang Xiaolin's steward Sui Ermu.

However, Cheng Qianfan had a strange feeling. This feeling was that in this case, unless Zhang Xiaolin was mad, he should not have sent someone to assassinate him at this time. This does not mean that Zhang Xiaolin did not hate him. , but to say that with Zhang Xiaolin's skills and hatred for him, in this situation where he had just been assassinated, he would either not choose to take action at this time, or once he did, he would use all his strength instead of sending It's up to these two crappy guys to take action.

Therefore, after interrogation, this attempted assassination incident, which seemed to have no doubts, was also mysterious.

Just like not far from Wu Mingfa, there is Xiang Wei tied to the torture rack. This man is dead, and his death is strange-

 This man was poisoned to death.

Lu Jiu took over his order and took Xiang Wei back from Jin Kemu. He was tortured again. Not long after, Xiang Wei became unconscious and foamed at the mouth.

 After the first judgment by Lao Huang, a medical officer with superb medical skills, Xiang Wei died of poisoning.

 ‘Interesting’, Cheng Qianfan glanced at Wu Mingfa who had passed out, and then at Xiang Wei who was poisoned to death. He muttered, and then gave a heavy cold snort.

 Central Patrol Room, Chief Inspector's Office.

"Does Uncle Jin want to give his nephew an explanation for this matter?" Cheng Qianfan didn't have a cigarette in his mouth, nor did he hold a cigarette in his hand, but the lighter in his hand was flicking again and again. He said with such a superficial smile.

 …

 No. 76, Jisfield Road.

“Director, after a preliminary search by my subordinates, no one with the nickname ‘Little Taoist’ was found.” Rong Yunzai reported the secret investigation results to Su Chende.

"You don't have to be a 'little Taoist priest'." Su Chende said thoughtfully, "It doesn't matter if the nickname contains 'Taoist priest' or 'Taoist priest'."

After a pause, he added, "Even a 'taoist nun' will do."

“Director,” Rong Yun said, “My subordinates checked and found that there were six Taoist priests and nine Taoist priests.”

As he spoke, he gave a wry smile and said, "I'm so stupid that I didn't think of checking for someone with the word 'taoist nun' on them."

"However, my subordinates made an unexpected discovery during the secret investigation." Rong Yun said.

Su Chende nodded slightly and motioned for Rong Yun to continue.

“I won’t talk about those white-faced fake Taoist priests, and I won’t talk about nicknames like ‘Taoist priests.’” Rong Yun said, “Many of those who are really good-natured have anti-Japanese tendencies.”
