Xu Enzeng?!

Zuo Chongzang looked at the visitor in the crowd with his mouth wide open. How could this guy like Lao Xu appear here? When he came to the cryptographic interpretation office, he reported something to Dai Chunfeng that sabotaged their operation.

As a result, Lao Dai did not do anything, and Xu Enzeng did not come forward to respond. Could it be that the other party had already arrived in Shanghai at that time, and the problem was that the trash at the secret service headquarters could deal with the Japanese?

It's not that I look down on them, it's just that the difference in strength between the two is too big.

Over the years, there have been endless spies lurking in one place. Even if some of the spies are artificially "created", it is a fact that one place has always been at a disadvantage in front of the spies.

But the facts are before our eyes. The so-called corpses posing as airport guards turned out to be a trap set by Commander Yang, Chief Yu and Xu Enzeng in order to expose all the Japanese ambitions.

Evacuate the airport and dismantle defensive measures. Once these two conditions are met, even the concession area will no longer support the Japanese. Public opinion will soon reverse, and the diplomatic pressure on Japan cannot be reduced.

Just as he was thinking about it, a group of agents from the Secret Service Headquarters escorted several people into the auditorium. These people were covered in scars and none of the nails on their hands were intact. They had obviously been tortured.

"Mr. Okawauchi, let's take a look."

Xu Enzeng pulled up the hair of one of them, and a face full of blood appeared in front of everyone. The shocked reporters quickly pressed the shutter to take pictures of this person.

As expected, the situation has changed again. This time we have to see how the Japanese explain it. The Chinese reporters all smiled happily and used expensive film without hesitation.

Amidst the sound of Kacha Kacha's filming, Xu Enzeng took out several IDs with photos and written in Japanese from his arms, held them high and said loudly to the onlookers.

"Please see, this is the document we found. It shows that they are staff officers of the Japanese Navy Military Command. When we arrested them, they were following the staff of the Shanghai Security Command.

What's interesting is that these people started taking action before the Japanese army broke into Hongkou Airport. They seemed to be well prepared. We have photos, witnesses and surveillance records to prove this.

Could it be that they knew it in advance? I think everyone knows the real reason. It is just a thief calling for a thief. General, aren't you going to explain it to everyone?"

Gan!

Lao Xu was doing somersaults with a broomstick - he had turned into a spirit to cause mischief. Zuo Zhong couldn't believe it. The secret service headquarters did a very good job indeed. It was so beautiful that it was impossible for them to do it.

Japanese intelligence officers attach great importance to anti-tracking. It is definitely not an easy task to follow these people without being discovered. If you are not careful, you will be exposed.

Also, when you carry your real ID during the mission, such low-level mistakes can happen at one time. You are so lucky. The person named Xu is really lucky.

The proud Xu Enzeng on the stage did not know that his old enemy was in the crowd. After saying the above words, he threw his ID at the feet of Okawauchi Renqi, feeling very happy.

The repeated failures in the past few years almost caused him to completely lose someone's trust. After relying on the Northeast mission to make a comeback, he learned the hard way and found that everything was because of Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong, the despicable master and apprentice.

He finally understood that getting involved with the other party would be bad. Although he succeeded in destroying the Kwantung Army's bacterial weapons base, he was drenched in urine by those damn traitors and almost became a cripple.

Since then, he has shunned the Secret Service. Hearing that his subordinates sabotaged Zuo Zhong's operation at the stadium, he took his people to Shanghai by train overnight. I can't afford to offend you, so I can't afford to hide.

This is not cowardice,

This is a strategic retreat.

Or called a backward attack.

As for how to regain someone's trust, it's easy. The Secret Service can make great achievements by catching Japanese spies, so why can't the Secret Service Headquarters? In terms of intelligence channels, they have much more intelligence channels than the other party, a rising star.

Let’s not talk about it far, let’s talk about the leaders of the Caogang. As early as more than ten years ago in the Republic of China, they had cooperated with the secret service headquarters to suppress underground party members. The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. Relying on these local snakes, they could find out anything.

Some clues about espionage,

Sure enough, once my mind opened up, many things fell into place.

It's a pity that the little bastard named Zuo was not present, otherwise he would have to know that he was not someone to be trifled with. Xu Enzeng couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Let's talk about Okawauchi Denchi. Faced with such humiliation, his face turned red with anger and his chest heaved up and down. In the end, he didn't say anything and walked away with Hase Ryosuke and his entourage, waving their sleeves.

Seeing the Japanese leaving in embarrassment, cheers suddenly erupted in the auditorium, as if a great victory had been won. The white people in the concession also smiled and applauded. It is their tradition to respect the victor.

As the heroes who exposed the Japanese conspiracy, Xu Enzeng, Minister Yu and Commander Yang were praised by countless people. The three stood together and posed in various poses for interviews.

Zuo Zhong didn't join in the fun. He took a few photos and prepared to leave. When he stepped out of the door, a feeling of being spied on suddenly emerged. He didn't look back and left quickly.

Today's situation briefing was full of weirdness from beginning to end. It was not a place where he would stay for a long time. It didn't matter who was monitoring him. As long as the other party dared to follow him, his subordinates outside would find out.

When they arrived at the gate of the city hall, a little spy sent by Wu Chunyang to report the situation came towards him. He flicked his fingers on the side of his legs a few times, then passed the person and walked towards the rickshaw parked on the roadside.

.

"Go to Shock Report."

"Okay, sir."

After telling the coachman, he got into the car and closed his eyes, no longer caring about the situation behind him. Lao Song and the others would make arrangements after receiving the news. All he had to do was listen to the report.

Half an hour later, Zuo Zhong walked into the Industrial Shock Report, a subsidiary of the Secret Service, and greeted the staff who came and went in a familiar manner. Finally, he walked into a small office and waited silently.

When it was getting dark, Song Minghao sneaked through the door, closed the door with his backhand, and said to Zuo Zhong: "Deputy Director, your behind is very clean, there are no people following you."

"Well, that's good."

Zuo Zhong felt relieved. It seemed that the person spying on him was just a whim and had no intention of following him. Who could it be?

An image of a man with a moustache appeared in his mind, Inspector Kuang Fuan of the Public Concession. Among so many people present, he was the only one who couldn't see through it.

Forget it, it's useless to think too much now. There will definitely be opportunities for the two sides to deal with each other in the future. Zuo Zhong changed the subject and talked about what happened in the auditorium, focusing on describing Xu Enzeng's proud face.

After hearing this, Song Minghao slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: "I didn't expect those mysterious people to be the trash from the secret service headquarters. If I had known this, I might as well have snatched the spies away.

The man surnamed Xu is too careless in his work. He knew that the Secret Service was responsible for the work against Japan, but he did not inform us. We cannot just let this matter go, we must teach him a lesson."

When he thought that Xu Enzeng was about to make a great contribution by exposing the Japanese's trick, Song Minghao's eyes turned red with envy. This was originally their credit, and he decided to take a bite out of it.

"That's all, making meritorious deeds is a person's job."

Zuo Zhong waved his hand. If the secret service headquarters gained benefits from catching Japanese spies, they might be more relaxed about the underground party. This is also a good thing.

Thinking of this, he planned to ask the Japanese spies in detail about their situation, because this time the Japanese spies underestimated the enemy too much. They didn't know they were being followed, and they still carried their IDs with them, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know they were Japanese.

To be on the safe side, it is best to go through the file from beginning to end. If no problem is found, it will be better. If a problem is found, Okawauchi Renshichi and the people behind it may have great intentions.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office. It was not a confidential place after all. Zuo Zhong stopped talking and winked at Song Minghao. He picked up the tea on the table and said in a deep voice, "Please come in."

The door then opened, and He Yijun, who had put on a facial disguise, came in. She took out a message from her bag and repeated the contents in a low voice.

"Deputy Director, Jinling called. Just an hour ago, the 87th Division stationed in Changshu, the 88th Division stationed in Jiangyin, and the independent 20th Brigade reorganized from the 2nd Supplementary Brigade, under the leadership of Songhu Garrison Commander Zhang Wenbai and Chief Zhang, reported to

Come from Shanghai."

This is about to start a war. Song Minghao's expression changed. It's okay for intelligence personnel like them to cause damage behind enemy lines, but they can't play a big role on a frontal battlefield with tens of thousands of people. Guns and cannons have no eyes. They're afraid of staying in Shanghai any longer.

There is danger.

"Why are you panicking? The fight hasn't started yet."

Zuo Zhong took the message and glanced at the guy angrily. He stood up and walked to the blinds to look outside. He was silent for a long time and said calmly: "Chief Zhang once said that China's response to the Japanese can be divided into three forms.

The first type is when he hits me, and I don’t fight back, like the Battle of Northeast China on September 18th; the second type is when he hits me, and I fight back, like the Battle of January 28th, and the Battle of the Great Wall; the third type is when I judge that he is going to hit me, and I fight back.

Hit him first.

It seems that the high-level officials are adopting the third approach this time, wanting to strike first to defeat the enemy and eliminate the Japanese army in Shanghai. Yijun, in addition to briefing the situation, has Jinling given us specific tasks to cooperate with the frontal combat?"

To be honest, he had expected that someone would choose to strike first. Shanghai is the lifeline of the country's economy and is related to the safety of the capital. It is not easy to concentrate the army and it will directly affect the interests of the four major families headed by someone.

Unless forced to do so or as a last resort, the other party will never kill themselves. However, when the unilateral will for peace cannot prevent the coming of war, the master, no matter how weak and incompetent, will make the most tenacious resistance.

"some."

He Yijun did not hesitate and quickly replied: "The Japanese have set up anti-aircraft guns on the rooftops of Hongkou and surrounding areas and built more than a hundred strong bunkers, which will definitely become an obstacle to our army's attack.

For this purpose, Commander Zhang formulated the "Plan for Sweeping the Japanese Strongholds in Shanghai" and hoped that our Secret Service could launch attacks on these places, at least to destroy all the defenses at key locations."

Zuo Dian nodded. After such a long period of investigation, he knew these situations very well. For example, the Japanese army set up military strongholds at Yangshupu Gongda Cotton Mill and Huxi Toyota Cotton Mill, standing side by side with the Hongkou Barracks, forming a two-wing force.

In the Japanese commercial and residential area outside Hongkou, all government agencies, schools, shops, and residences have various reinforced concrete bunkers. There are also secret arsenals and troop hiding caves underground, which is a tough nut to crack.

Coupled with the cooperation of the Japanese navy and air force along the Huangpu River and Yangtze River, the Japanese have controlled favorable defensive terrain for the implementation of the so-called outer line combat strategy, trying to block the Guo army from outside the core control area.

If we don't destroy the fortifications before the war, we don't know how many soldiers will be sacrificed during the war. As the deputy director of the Secret Service, there are some things that must be done. As a Chinese soldier, it is our duty to serve the country.

"Order."

After thinking about it, Zuo Zhong turned around and announced with a serious expression: "Suspend the reconnaissance mission against Japanese spies, comprehensively collect intelligence on Japanese strongholds, and launch a unified attack tomorrow, that is, at 12 noon on the 12th.

The targets are all bunkers and fortifications located at intersections and near important institutions. This operation does not require the enemy's physical strength. The purpose is to completely destroy the main building structure.

You officers are responsible for the most dangerous and difficult targets. This time you want to let the Japanese know how powerful our secret service is, and tell Gui Youguang to prepare more dangerous goods.

At that time, I will personally be in charge of the Japanese military fortifications at Baziqiao. By the way, remember to remind everyone to pay attention to concealment when taking action, and never reveal your identity and cause a head-on conflict."

Destruction operations are different from fighting. To put it bluntly, they are taking advantage of loopholes. China and Japan have not officially started war yet. If they start fighting with real swords and guns, it will destroy the strategic intentions of the top leaders.

"Deputy Director, leave the Baziqiao side to me. The Japanese troops are heavily guarding it there, just in case... You are the backbone of our department and nothing can happen to you."

After hearing this, veteran Song Minghao gritted his teeth and took the initiative to volunteer. The task of destroying the Eight-Character Bridge was really too dangerous. This bridge is located at the junction of many main roads in Hongkou. It was originally named Bao'an Bridge and was built in the early years of the Republic of China.

There are two rivers that intersect in a T-shape in the local area. At first, there was a wooden bridge crossing it from the east and west directions. The overall shape was eight-shaped, so it got its name. It was originally in the hands of the government.

On December 8, the 21st year of the Republic of China, the Japanese Marine Special Marines stationed in Shanghai attacked the 19th Route Army from here, and fired the first shot of the first Songhu Battle.

In this war, the Bazi Bridge suffered three losses and three gains. The East Bridge was completely destroyed by heavy artillery shells, leaving only the West Bridge. Until the day of the armistice, the Japanese army could not fully control the Bazi Bridge.

It was a pity that the Japanese army was defeated without defeat. After the war, the West Bridge was occupied by the Japanese. A semi-underground bunker was built at the head of the bridge and heavy machine guns were installed.

In 1933, the Japanese Army rebuilt the West Bridge into a reinforced concrete structure, which allowed navigation under the bridge and cars on the bridge deck. It became the throat from Zhabei to Hongkou and the most important outpost of the Japanese army.

It can be imagined how strict the Japanese guarded this place. Pedestrians passing by would be beaten and scolded if they stopped for a moment, or even taken to the patrol house or military camp, and disappeared forever.
