Mountain City, No. 29 Luojiawan.

In the large office of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters, there were small spies busy with work everywhere, and the phone ringing and speaking were ringing continuously.

As one of the most important business departments of the Military Control Commission, countless information is gathered here for sorting, analyzing, and then provided to the higher level or military as the basis for decision-making.

A female spy hurried over with documents in her hand, walked around the noisy crowd, and came to an outside of a small room and knocked on the door.

"Report, the deputy director urgently."

Wu Chunyang, who was issuing documents in the room, immediately got up, opened the door and took the message, waved his hand to send the female spy away, and turned around and returned to the table.

There are too many confidential documents in his office, and no one is allowed to enter at will except himself.

After sitting back to the position, Wu Chunyang quickly translated the code book and a command appeared under the sagging tip.

Looking at the content on the paper, he got up again and walked to the door, creaking and pushed open the door, patting everyone's hands.

Hearing the applause, the spies present put down their work and looked at the director who started to speak out.

"Immediately collect the whereabouts of the staff around Yan Baichuan, the Second War Zone, and focus on investigating whether anyone has left the Jin army-controlled area recently, especially military, political and diplomatic officials.

There is evidence that some of them will negotiate with the Japanese on behalf of the Jin army and prepare to surrender to the Japanese. I won’t say much about the seriousness of this matter. I believe you all understand it in your heart.

A person must not be missed during the investigation. Each target’s whereabouts must be confirmed. The investigation records must be signed by the operators. Whoever has a problem will be dealt with, which is the meaning of the deputy director.”

After saying the order coldly, Wu Chunyang looked down at his watch and gave a deadline with a serious expression.

"You only have 12 hours to launch all the lurking personnel in Shanxi Province, the Second War Zone, take action immediately!"

"yes!"

The little spies raised their hands and shouted in unison, then called, sent a telegram, searched information, and operated all the intelligence department.

Within an hour, the military-controlled spies deployed in the Second War Zone Chief's Office and the resident Qiulin Town, Yichuan County, were awakened one by one.

These Pingshi were military personnel, clerks, chefs, and intelligence personnel. They used all means to find and investigate Yan Baichuan's subordinates.

On the other hand, Wu Chunyang was not idle either. He personally went to the second department to invite Guqi and several senior spies from the intelligence department to be responsible for internal surveillance.

It is related to the commander of the war zone, and actions must be kept strictly confidential.

Once Yan Baichuan knew about this, he would definitely protest against the mountain city, and even trigger conflicts between the government and the local government. At that time, the Military Control Commission would take the blame.

Time passed by minute by minute, and personnel files were moved to the office, and analysts began to work.

First of all, what they need to do is to select people qualified to serve as negotiators from Yan Baichuan's confidants, which is not difficult to do.

Those who can negotiate with the Japanese must be qualified in the Jin army, otherwise others will not be convinced.

The Jin army under the Second War Zone included the 19th, 33, 34, 35, 61, 83rd Army, the 1st Cavalry Army and the 1st Army.

The negotiator is likely to be among the chief officers of these troops, because in troubled times, the person holding the gun is the real person who makes the decision.

In addition, Yan Baichuan's aides are also suspected.

To govern such a large piece of territory in Jin Province, it is not enough to rely solely on the Jin army. A group of civil servants responsible for managing local civil affairs are also needed.

Since the 1911th, Yan Baichuan has recruited and hired many literati, and these people are also likely to make peace with the Japanese on behalf of the Jin army.

Soon, a list was sorted out.

After reading it, Wu Chunyang did not hesitate at all and immediately sent someone to the frontline agents to investigate according to the personnel on the list.

Gucci, who had less and less hair, walked around the office, stood beside him and handed a cigarette, and reminded him.

"Chunyang, this is Yan Baichuan. Please pay more attention to brothers. If something happens, the bureau will be in trouble."

"I understand that all the people involved in the operation brought poison and would never be captured alive by the Jin army."

Wu Chunyang's tone was calm, and there was no evidence. Even the commander of the war zone could not attack at will. This is the rule of the game.

Gu Qi was shocked, and the cigarette he had sent to his mouth stopped in front of his mouth, and sighed after a long time.

"Oh, tell me, if you don't beat the Japanese well, you have to do such a thing that your relatives hurt your enemies and your enemies. Chief Yan is confused.

Besides, are the Japanese so easy to talk to? Doing this is like a scam with a tiger. Sooner or later, there will be a day when the other party regrets it."

I received an intelligence report from Wu Chunyang before, which scared Gu Qi very much. Who would have thought that the commander of the war zone would surrender?

"Our Chief Yan often says that existence is the truth. With his logic, there is naturally a reason to surrender. We can't control these things."

After taking the latest information, Wu Chunyang looked at it and showed a sneer and a mocking tone.

For big names, what kind of righteousness and patriotism are false, but only interests are eternal.

After hearing his words, Guqi shook his head and stopped talking, staring at a spy, smoking a muffled cigarette.

Five hours later.

The first valuable information was sent back. Li Fengzhou, the chief of staff of the 1st Cavalry Army of the Jin army, left the station 10 days ago. No one knew where the other party went.

What’s even more strange is that Li Fengzhou’s seal and signature are still included in the daily official documents in the army. Except for the phone number, no one answered, everything was the same as usual.

If the agent hadn't taken the risk to the other party's home and spent a lot of money to buy the servants in his mansion, the Military Control Commission would not have discovered that the person was missing.

Li Fengzhou was born into Yan Baichuan's starting lineup, the 86th tier of the New Army of the previous dynasty. He was absolutely old and highly regarded among the generals of the Jin army.

The chief of staff of an army-level army left the troops behind during the war and disappeared without a trace. This is very strange. Isn’t he afraid of the Japanese suddenly coming?

You should know that dereliction of duty and resignation without permission are all death sentences. The Military Law Office of the Second War Zone is full of people from the mountain city, so they will not give Yan Baichuan such a great face.

Unless Li Fengzhou is sure that the Japanese will not attack while he is away, then a question arises, why is he so sure that his departure will not cause trouble?

The answer is obvious, either his disappearance is to perform normal secret missions, and even if something happens, it has nothing to do with him, or he has a tacit understanding with the Jin army and the Japanese.

"Transfer the mission and meeting minutes of the Second War Zone, and then call the attendant's room to ask if the Jin army had reported a secret operation."

"yes."

In order to eliminate the first possibility, Wu Chunyang immediately asked someone to bring the relevant records and ask the servant room for verification. What if Li Fengzhou really has official duties, no one can tell this matter.

The result was soon revealed, neither the records nor the feedback from the attendant's room showed that there was a secret operation in the second war zone.

Wu Chunyang felt confident. It seemed that Li Fengzhou was probably the representative of the Jin army or one of them who was responsible for negotiating with the Japanese, so he decisively ordered.

"Notify the brothers in North China and Shanghai to investigate Li Fengzhou's whereabouts, and telex the other party's photos to the nearest Guotong District site, and use secret channels to send them to the investigators as soon as possible."

Years of front-line intelligence experience and nearly a year of training have made Wu Chunyang a qualified intelligence director, handling cases in an orderly manner.

Under his command, good news came one after another. In addition to Li Fengzhou, Yan Baichuan's most trusted and trusted secretary Jia Dezhen asked for leave half a month ago to go back to his hometown to visit his mother's grave.

According to the investigation by the local Military Control Commission, Jade Town has indeed come back and met with famous local gentry. However, a few days later, he suddenly fell ill and refused to visit anyone and stayed in vain.

Through a secret visit, someone reported to the spy that one night he saw several cars leaving the back door of the Jia Mansion, and they didn't even turn on the headlights when driving, and their whereabouts were very mysterious.

Li Fengzhou, Jiade Town.

One literary and one martial.

Yan Baichuan's two absolute confidants disappeared almost at the same time. It would be strange if there was no problem here. What is tomb sweeping is nothing more than a plan to escape from the shell.

Speaking of which, compared with Yan Yiting, these two people are indeed qualified to represent the Jin army, and neither civil officials nor military generals can speak.

However, Wu Chunyang did not draw a rash conclusion. There was still some time before the 12-hour deadline, and the investigation work could be done more solidly.

On the one hand, he sent someone to send Li and Jia files to Port City without transit.

On the other hand, the whereabouts of Yan Baichuan's confidants continued to be investigated, and the scope of investigation was expanded to the guards of the Second War Zone Chief's Office and the elite combat units of the Jin army at the grassroots level.

Assuming that Li Fengzhou and Jiade Town are really negotiators, they would not have been able to go to Port City alone. The journey was in chaos and might have been slaughtered before they reached their destination, so they must have been accompanied by guards.

Of course, after entering the occupied area, the Japanese will definitely send people to protect them, but on other people's territory, what is the difference between protection and surveillance?

Once the bottom line of negotiations is controlled by the Japanese, how can the Jin army seek more benefits? Yan Baichuan and his subordinates will not have thought of this.

Therefore, from the perspective of security and confidentiality, bringing your own guard is the only choice for Li Fengzhou and Jiade Town. Soldiers who can perform such tasks are not only elite, but also confidants.

The facts are just like Wu Chunyang speculated, with a clear scope of investigation, and the investigators gained something in no time.

——The whereabouts of a platoon company under the Second War Zone Chief’s Guard Corps were unknown, with a platoon of officers and soldiers and weapons, and the number was 30.

The pistol company, a military organization unique to the Republic of China, is an emergency product in the case of lack of automatic firepower and difficulty in forming effective suppression of firepower.

Its members often sneak into the effective range of the waffle gun through night raids, killing and injuring the enemy in large quantities with fierce melee firepower.

It is difficult to build similar troops. In addition to the configuration of weapons and equipment, soldiers are also selected. Priority is given to those who are tall and skilled in martial arts, or those who are selected from the old soldiers who have recovered from the wounded.

These people have extremely strong individual combat capabilities. At the same time, due to the need for close combat, the casualty rate is high, and the military pay and treatment of the pistol company are much better than that of ordinary troops, so the loyalty of the personnel is also very high.

Wu Chunyang's face was gloomy. The 30 elite soldiers of the Fruit Army did not fight with the Japanese, but instead protected the traitor who made peace with the Japanese. Yan Baichuan was really willing to do so.

The next second, he ordered the little spy to send a report to the Gangcheng Station and informed the headquarters of the investigation results. They had done everything they could, and the rest was waiting.
