Chapter 914: Tacit Cooperation (There are Easter Eggs, it’s better to see them first)

Gui Youguang looked at the mysterious man walking in front of him, grinned, walked briskly to the end of the alley and turned left, where a long staircase with the characteristics of a mountain city suddenly appeared.

The familiar figure happened to have climbed to the highest point and turned left again. Seeing this, he climbed up unhurriedly and always paid attention to what was behind him, maintaining a distance from the target.

When he reached the end of the stairs, Gui Youguang turned left following the mysterious man's route, and then saw the man standing in front of a door, hitting the person who opened the door on the neck with a knife.

Immediately afterwards, three or four little spies jumped out from the surroundings and rushed into the room. The mysterious man turned around and nodded to him and walked in. Then the door was slowly closed.

Gui Youguang didn't have time to think too much, but the ghostly footsteps of the target rang in his ears again. He walked to the house where the mysterious man entered with a frown, raised his hand, knocked on the door and shouted.

"At home?"

He pinched his throat and called the door. Soon, with the creaking sound of the door shaft, the door was opened halfway from the inside, and a face appeared behind the crack.

Wu Chunyang, who also wore a facial disguise, said "Please come in" with a tone that was mixed with surprise and joy. He stepped aside to open the door and asked about the current situation of his "old friend". There was no sense of unfamiliarity in the conversation.

Gui Youguang clasped his hands together to express that he was in an emergency and came to ask for help. It was really presumptuous and perfectly explained why his visiting friend did not bring any gifts.

The two have been working together since the 22nd year of the Republic of China. Needless to say, they have a tacit understanding with each other. They often know what the other person means with just one look.

"Come here! Inform everyone not to move, and secretly monitor buildings within a radius of 500 meters. The target is residences and shops containing multiple adult males.

After reaching an agreement, the two took a short rest and began to wait patiently. During this period, information about the target's whereabouts was continuously sent back by frontline agents.

He immediately issued an order, requiring some operational personnel to withdraw covertly, and follow Wu Chunyang's suggestion to wait halfway until the target returned to his residence.

At Haitangxi Pier, in order to avoid being watched, he deliberately chose to board the ship when it was about to leave the shore. If we hadn't been prepared, there would have been nothing we could do against him.

Wu Chunyang recited it silently in his mind and murmured to himself: "There is a question. Now the Japanese are bombing every three days. What if the theater is closed when the target is delivering intelligence?

According to the air defense control regulations, once the siren sounds, all business places must be closed and personnel evacuated. I don’t think the Japanese air force will inform the spies in advance of the bombing time.”

Wu Chunyang was thinking about how to find the dead mailbox, turning the telescope in his hand to scan the air-raid shelter next to the theater, and then suddenly froze.

Early warning means do not need to be so troublesome. A complete set of joint procedures are used to confuse possible stalkers. It is self-evident what the Japanese want to do.

Wu Chunyang's idea is very simple. Since the terrain is complex, he should take advantage of the number of people to control all the surrounding stairs and intersections.

While they were talking, the elites from the first station set up a dragnet around the target, closely watching each other's every move.

"What's most important? Safety, of course."

so…………

Gui Youguang pulled open his collar and took a deep breath, and asked with a hint of curiosity: "Chunyang, why are you here? Thank you so much this time. Damn it, I almost capsized today."

Gui Youguang, with a dark face, explained the reason why he was almost exposed.

The two of them walked into the main room one after another and immediately saw a man, a woman and several children sitting on the ground. Several of them had their mouths gagged and their hands tied behind their backs. Their expressions were full of fear.

After hesitating for a long time, they still thought it would be better to continue to observe the surroundings. They had already checked to this point, and they must not alert the people behind the target.

Once problems were discovered, they were arrested on the spot, which exposed many British and American moles. Even the military's only remaining intelligence team in Red Russia was implicated by Western spies.

As soon as I arrived, I discovered that you were being followed, so I quickly looked for a suitable resident and finally caught up with you. How about it, the target didn't suspect you?"

After explaining his identity and purpose of visit, he asked the little agent to take the homeowner's family to the side room, and he and Gui Youguang came to the main room and sat down at the table.

"Chunyang, do you want to send someone in?" Gui Youguang asked.

"Boy, we need to borrow your residence for a period of time. As long as you don't move or talk nonsense, we won't hurt anyone."

Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang, whose arms were sore, put down their telescopes and were caught in a dilemma. It was risky to send people to follow these people, and they were afraid of missing clues if they didn't send people.

"Let's go, put on your makeup, and go see the scene."

Wu Chunyang ignored the other party, closed the door, and listened against the door panel for a while, then waved to Gui Youguang to come inside to talk.

The clock was ticking, the wind and waves around the theater were quiet, no one stopped in front of the empty entrance, and even the small iron window at the ticket office was closed.

Since it was impossible to determine whether there were any Japanese guard posts around, the appearance of too many unfamiliar faces at once would arouse suspicion, so the disguised identities of all operators must be reasonable.

After the other party left the theater, he changed into a mountain sedan, and then took a boat back to Nan'an. He didn't stop at anything on the way, and he didn't communicate with anyone.

What happened just now will definitely be recorded in the action file in written form so that he can be evaluated and punished after the war. He will inevitably be reprimanded, and naturally he will not look good.

While they were chatting, the target walked over without looking away. When he passed the door, he glanced at the empty yard and followed the path into a winding alley.

At the same time, Wu Chunyang urgently "requisitioned" several single-family houses as cover sites to prevent targets from following the operators again. Some mistakes are enough to be made once.

Wu Chunyang patted one of the seven or eight-year-old children on the head kindly, took out a police card and waved it in front of the male landlord.

Division chiefs and section chiefs not only change their status, but also have different perspectives in handling work. They must consider the overall situation in everything and achieve the transformation from executors to decision-makers.

Seeing someone coming in, a man and a woman twisted their bodies to block the child. Poor parents in the world. No matter what time of the day, parents always think of their children.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Chunyang decisively decided to take command nearby. Some things must be seen with one's own eyes to judge. After saying that, he stood up and began to change clothes and adjust his facial disguise.

There are two agents in a team, each team is responsible for a single area, and there are backup personnel to fill in at any time to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.

Wu Chunyang nodded slightly. The terrain of the mountain city was indeed different from the places where they had carried out missions in the past. In the words of the deputy, this was a three-dimensional space.

His mind was running rapidly, and he suddenly thought of what Zuo Zhong once said, about turning passivity into initiative, and immediately issued an order.

Gui Youguang replied casually, perhaps feeling a little hasty after speaking, and added: "There is still stability. In case of an emergency, we must ensure that the superiors can receive the information in time."

The two of them took a breath and looked at each other, their eyes full of fear. This was not a connection at all, but a trap.

After discovering the target, the first person in the group will follow up and hand it over to other groups to take over when reaching the next section. If the target turns back in the middle, the second person in the group will be responsible to ensure that they are not left behind.

As long as there is a suspicious person in a certain place, the troops will be immediately mobilized to block the intersections in the adjacent blocks and strictly check the people entering and leaving.

As the director of Division 1, he must consider this issue. In the past, the deputy chief had to worry about these matters, but now it is his turn.

If the Japanese want to hit us hard, the number of surveillance personnel will not necessarily be small, but the number of action personnel will not be small, and there must be a gathering point.

According to the public intelligence collected by the national consulate in Red Russia, the Red Russian intelligence department used this simple and crude but effective tactic to deal with reactionaries, and enemy spies used this simple and crude but effective tactic.

This proves one thing, the target is either playing in circles with them, or dropping intelligence while the theater is out of surveillance.

But if there is a dead mailbox contact, there is no such worry. The dead mailbox stores information for a long time, and the contact person can retrieve the information in a few hours, a few days or even ten days.

The theater is a favorite meeting place for spies. The advantage is that there are many people, a mixed crowd, and a dark environment. The disadvantage is that the place is relatively closed, and the people meeting you can easily be guarded.

The truth was just as Wu Chunyang thought. After walking around Chaotianmen several times and making sure there were no followers behind him, the target bought a ticket and walked into a theater under the surveillance of secret agents.

Of course Gui Youguang would not object. He quickly changed his appearance and followed Wu Chunyang from the back wall, covering each other to a surveillance point not far from the theater.

In addition, let the brothers squat between Chaotianmen and the South Bank Pier, maybe the theater is just a cover-up, and the real meeting will take place when the target returns."

The other spectators who came out with him also quickly merged into the crowd on the street. The little spies pressed the shutter from a distance and took pictures of their faces.

Moreover, the urban area of ​​Shancheng City is not too big, and there is still time to adjust the deployment temporarily, unless the other party is willing to risk the risk of exposing their lurking identity by going to Jiangbei or surrounding towns.

As for whether the target will be transferred again to communicate with superiors elsewhere, Wu Chunyang thinks it is unlikely for two reasons.

Listening to Gui Youguang's self-deprecation, Wu Chunyang felt the same in his heart. This was an old intelligence's sixth sense.

Gui Youguang sighed after listening: "I hope so. Judging from the current observation results, it is certain that the target is a professional spy. The anti-tracking technology is very professional.

Wu Chunyang was sweating from behind. If he had just sent people to spy on the theatergoers, it would be difficult to keep such a large-scale operation secret, and exposure would be almost inevitable.

Whether it was directing the bombing of the official residence, poisoning the air defense troops, or killing the five robe brothers, the Japanese actions were so calm and unhurried.

Let them find it and set up a surveillance point nearby. If the other party doesn't find the problem, they will definitely retreat. Then we will follow the clues!"

Wu Chunyang shook his head slowly: "No, that would be easy to expose. We can't take risks until we are sure to arrest him directly. Just observing from the outside is enough for the time being.

After saying the last word, Wu Chunyang patted his hand gently on the table, and Gui Youguang, with murderous intent in his eyes, also took out his gun and loaded it with a click.

First, because the target's latent identity prevents him from disappearing for a long time.

He thought for a moment and slowly turned his head and asked Gui Youguang a question: "Youguang, what do you think is the most important thing about a dead mailbox?"

As soon as the two entered the door, they picked up the telescope covered with fine gauze to prevent reflection, and observed the entrance and surroundings of the theater. Given the Japanese's suspicion, they would definitely set up a guard post nearby.

But after watching for a long time, they didn't find anything suspicious. There was nothing they could do. This was the most densely populated area in the mountain city. There was a constant flow of people and vehicles passing by, making it difficult to monitor.

However, considering the identity of the target, he felt that this situation was normal. They might have caught a big fish this time, and there was more than one.

Different from the Heping period, there were various uncertain factors during the war. Theaters were not suitable as a common intelligence transmission channel, and the possibility of problems was too great.

And what happened just now shows that the other party is very vigilant. Chunyang, why do I feel that compared with Japanese spies, we are like outsiders in the mountain city."

This news was quickly delivered to Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang. The two of them were not too surprised. If it were them, they would also choose to use the dead mailbox to communicate.

2. Judging from the past action patterns of Japanese spies, high-frequency anti-tracking operations mean that the connection is not far away.

"Okay, I agree with you."

Wu Chunyang waved his hand: "The deputy seat asked me to come over. He said that Japanese spies are cunning and the terrain of the mountain city is complicated. He ordered me to bring people to support you.

It seems that the tracking methods of intelligence personnel need to be innovated. This time he came in time, but next time, they will not be so lucky all the time.

Half an hour later, the movie ended. The target, who looked relaxed, came out of the theater and casually called a mountain sedan to move south of the city, presumably to return to the South Bank area.

For example, farmers carrying bamboo baskets selling vegetables, refugees with their families, homeless wounded soldiers, and out-of-town students traveling around. These people are highly mobile and can be seen almost everywhere in mountain cities.

"No, the other party is just counter-tracking normally. There are many mountains, slopes, and corners here. The visual range is too small. If the target suddenly turns around, I won't have time to react."

Direct contact does allow both parties to directly communicate and deploy around tasks, but the risk is high. Once the location of the joint is discovered by the opponent, there is a risk of being wiped out.

Safe and stable.

After thinking about it, Gui Youguang had no objection. It was good to send people in when the movie started. It would not be easy to be found among the crowd. It was indeed a bit suspicious to send someone in during the middle of the movie.

Gui Youguang was also stunned, yes! What to do if it is closed? The target cannot force the theater to open. In case of emergency, he cannot break the door to get in. That would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Wu Chunyang smiled and said to Gui Youguang: "The person I brought has already caught up with the target. As long as he goes to contact him, there will be news soon."

If the Japanese take the opportunity to make a surprise attack, the operators will definitely suffer a big loss if they are attacked from both sides.

"We are all brothers, no need to be polite."

If they dare to target the military commander, then they will break their claws this time and let the Japanese know that the mountain city is the mountain city of the Chinese.

The experienced agents did not let them down. After adjusting the direction in time, it didn't take long for the operators to discover a suspicious location.

A large number of suspicious people gathered in a shop that ostensibly sold incense and candles. It was very strange to observe the various figures in the room from a height.

As time passed, these people left one by one, and finally brought the spies outside a wooden building. A plaque hung high in the inner hall of the wooden building with three characters - Chongli Society!
