After finishing the on-site investigation, Yoshioka Masao returned to the Special Higher Education Department. As soon as he entered the office, he received a call from the section chief Akira Shizuki. So he quickly put down the phone, walked upstairs quickly, came to the outside of the section chief's office, knocked on the door, and

enter.

Behind the desk in the office, there is a middle-aged officer sitting. He has a thin and pale face, a sparse beard, and a thin body. However, he looks calm but hides sharp eyes like an eagle, which is full of danger and makes people uncomfortable.

Dare to look directly.

Colonel Akiki Hideki, Masao Yoshioka's immediate boss, is also the top intelligence officer of the Japanese North China Front in Shanxi Province.

Seeing Yoshioka Masao come in, Akashi Hideki's face turned dark and he asked: "I heard that Consultant Harada was killed last night. Is this true?"

"The situation is indeed true, and we have just received the report." Masao Yoshioka felt nervous. Kazuya Harada's identity was special, and his murder would definitely cause quite a stir, so he replied cautiously, "Someone sneaked into his house late last night.

In the bedroom, I broke his neck while he was sleeping. I just finished surveying the scene and wanted to report this to you."

Hearing Yoshioka Masao's answer, Akashi Hideki couldn't help but sigh, and said with a sad tone: "When I was stationed in Tianjin, I got acquainted with Harada-kun, and we have known each other for many years. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened."

At this point, he paused and then asked: "You must be aware of the background behind Counselor Harada. He is not only a senior cadre stationed in Taiyuan, presiding over the work of the New People's Association, but also a close confidant of Secretary Ando. But

Less than half a year after taking office in Taiyuan, something like this happened. As intelligence officers stationed locally, it was difficult for us to explain to the headquarters, which made us very passive."

When Yoshioka Masao heard this, his heart sank, he lowered his head slightly and waited for the next words from the Akira Quartz Tree.

But Ming Quanzhu didn't pursue it too much. He changed his tone and asked: "Are there any clues at the scene? Who is the murderer?"

"Based on the clues we collected at the scene, we believe it was the work of military unification agents. And according to my judgment, this is a retaliatory action initiated by military unification agents. There have been three assassinations before..."

Masao Yoshioka reported the previous three cases in detail to Hideki Akashi, and finally said: "At present, it seems that the other party has already launched a planned retaliatory action. I estimate that they will make further plans in the future.

actions, we need to be prepared for contingency."

After listening to his report, Akashi Yingshu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It seems that you already have a plan in mind, tell me about it!"

Masao Yoshioka straightened his body and reported: "First of all, we must overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum. I plan to launch a counterattack immediately and cannot show weakness to others."

"How to fight back?"

"Immediately execute a group of prisoners held in cells. These people are all military commanders arrested in previous operations. In addition to those who have been shot and tortured to death, there are still 63 prisoners.

I was originally planning to deal with it, but now I am taking a step ahead and I plan to shoot him in public tomorrow to shock people."

Upon hearing this, Ming Shiyingshu thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any important figures in the military command here?"

"Yes, the one with the highest status among them is Wu Zhengyun, the head of the Suiyuan Station. This person is very stubborn and has not spoken up until now. However, all the Suiyuan Stations have been cracked, and these people have no use value anymore."

Akashi Yingshu nodded in agreement and said: "Well, you have always been responsible for the counter-intelligence work. You can make your own decision without asking me for instructions. In addition, do you have any other measures?"

"I plan to create a few more targets for them," Masao Yoshioka is obviously confident. "Currently, the strike range of military intelligence agents is very large, and we cannot be sure. This makes us very passive. It is just pure defense, and I am afraid it will not have much effect."

.

I thought about releasing the military commanders who had surrendered to us before. In the eyes of the military commanders, these people were out-and-out traitors.

I know very well the style of the military commanders. What they hate most are traitors. As long as these people appear in front of others, they will be prioritized on their elimination list. In this way, I only need to keep an eye on these people secretly and wait.

They take the bait and believe they will gain something."

The reason why Suiyuan Station and Taiyuan Station were quickly uncovered before was because there were traitors inside. Therefore, as soon as the incident broke out, Suiyuan Station and Taiyuan Station had no time to react, and they were completely defeated and suffered heavy losses.

These traitors are currently being protected by the Special High School Division. Masao Yoshioka is afraid that they will be eliminated by military agents, so he has not allowed them to show up. He originally planned to wait for the news to pass and then transfer them to Peking or Tianjin.

Now it seems that we can no longer take care of them. They can just be thrown out and used as fishing bait, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

The military laws and regulations of the Military Command Bureau are extremely strict, especially the accountability and punishment of traitors, which are spared no effort to implement. This is also to curb the increasingly serious behavior of surrendering to the enemy on the intelligence front, to warn others, and to set an example.

"This is a good idea!" Akashi Yingshu nodded in approval.

Masao Yoshioka continued: "Section Chief, one more thing. The response speed of the military command this time was beyond my expectation. They were able to organize retaliatory actions so quickly. I think they have already taken enough actions in Taiyuan."

Strength, that is to say, they have sneaked into Taiyuan and re-established an intelligence station. Regarding this situation, I wonder if you have any channels to learn about it? "

"Okay, I'm going to ask the Huazhong Special Higher Education Department about the situation. They should have spies in Chongqing. It's okay to inquire." Akashi Hideki agreed. From his level, he has neither the resources nor the connections to be Masao Yoshioka.

Comparable.

After thinking about it, Akashi Hideki continued: "As for the matter of Advisor Harada, I will explain it clearly to the headquarters. Don't put any pressure on your side. What you have to do is to find out the traces of the military commander's agents as soon as possible and catch them all.

"

I have to say that Hideki Akashi is indeed a responsible boss, which has always made Masao Yoshioka respectful.

Hearing Akashi Hideki's words at this time, Yoshioka Masao felt relieved. He immediately knocked his heels, stood at attention, and said loudly: "Chief, please don't worry, I will dig out the military unification agents in the shortest possible time and completely destroy them."

The latent organization will never let you down."

A smile appeared on Akashi Hideki's face at this time. He stood up and came to Masao Yoshioka, patted his arm gently, and said with a smile: "Okay, we've finished talking about work, let's talk about your

matter."

"My thing?" Masao Yoshioka was stunned.

Ming Shiyingshu smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I have just received an official document from the headquarters, because this time I successfully annihilated the Suiyuan Station and Taiyuan Station of the Chongqing Government Military Command Bureau, and severely hit the enemy's intelligence system, which is an outstanding achievement.

Your promotion order has also been issued, and you have been promoted to the rank of Colonel of the Imperial Army, congratulations!"

When Masao Yoshioka heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. Although he had done a lot of credit for cracking the two major intelligence stations of the military, the reward from the headquarters was naturally expected. He had been nervously looking forward to it before, but he could be directly promoted to colonel.

It surprised him so much.

You must know that in the intelligence department, promotion of military ranks is much more difficult than that of combat troops. Every step requires sufficient credit and opportunity. This great news made Masao Yoshioka overjoyed, and it took him a long time to recover.

At this time, he stood upright again, bowed deeply and respectfully to Akashi Hideki, and said in a solemn tone: "This time, it is only because of your support, section chief, that Masao can be promoted. From now on, as long as you are driven, you will do whatever you want."

.”

As his superior, Hideki Akashi has always trusted and supported him at work, and the two of them also have a good relationship in private. In this merit report, Hideki Akashi also spoke highly of Masao Yoshioka.

It's good to say that Akashi Yingshu contributed a lot to achieving such a good result in the end.

Akashi Hideki smiled and nodded. Masao Yoshioka benefited this time, and the Taiyuan Special High School also had a good reputation. In the commendation document from the headquarters, General Tuhara, the chief section chief, specially praised himself. This made Akashi Hideki

The tree is also in a good mood.

So he continued: "Yoshioka-kun, don't worry yet, I have some good news here."

"Is there any good news?" Masao Yoshioka couldn't help but feel happy.

"It's news from the headquarters. Because of your achievements this time, you may be transferred back to the Peiping headquarters in the near future."

"What, is this true?" Masao Yoshioka couldn't help but asked. Being able to return to the headquarters organization was an extremely important step for his career, and he couldn't help but be tempted.

Akashi Hideki nodded and said: "Although it has not been implemented yet, it is not a big problem. Yoshioka-kun, you and I have worked together for many years. I am very satisfied with your work. I thought we could spend more time together, but it is a pity that you were transferred to Peking."

, it will be difficult to meet again in the future."

Masao Yoshioka was immediately determined. With Hideki Akira's behavior, he would not reveal the news to him unless he was completely sure.

He said gratefully: "In the past few years, I have learned a lot from you. Zhengxiong will surely repay his kindness. After returning to the headquarters, as long as you come to my place of use, please don't be polite."

"Then we'll make it an agreement, haha!" Hideki Akashi laughed, very satisfied with Masao Yoshioka's attitude.

In the evening, Xu Chengyan was walking hurriedly down the street. As soon as he turned the end of the street, he saw a person standing on the side of the street, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

Seeing that Xu Chengyan had noticed him, this man turned around and left. Xu Chengyan followed behind. The two of them distanced themselves, one behind the other, and soon entered an alley. After a few steps, there was an inconspicuous tavern.

.

This person stepped into the tavern, followed closely by Xu Chengyan. The tavern looked simple and small from the outside, but the space inside was very large. After passing through the front hall, the two people came to a separate private room. They raised their hands, one light and one heavy.

He knocked on the door rhythmically, then pushed the door open and entered.

Xu Chengyan also followed into the room and saw a middle-aged man standing inside with his hands behind his hands.

This man was wearing a long gown, with a tall and thin figure, a rectangular face, a calm expression, and deep eyes, exuding wisdom and competence. He was Xu Chengyan's teacher, Chu Guangji, the new head of the Taiyuan Intelligence Station of the Military Command.

"teacher!"

"Everyone, sit down!" Seeing Xu Chengyan come in, a smile suddenly appeared on Chu Guangji's face, and he waved for the two of them to sit down.

The person who led Xu Chengyan here before was Cao Ruian, the director of the Intelligence Department of Taiyuan Station. He was in charge of intelligence work and had three intelligence groups under his jurisdiction. Xu Chengyan belonged to the third intelligence group.

The three people sat opposite each other. Chu Guangji coughed lightly and said to Xu Chengyan with a smile: "Chengyan, I called you here today specifically to celebrate your victory. Harada Kazuya's identity is not simple. Get rid of him and resist

If you have to kill ten traitors and lackeys, I will immediately submit a merit report to the headquarters for you. Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate your extraordinary achievements!"

"Thank you, teacher, for your cultivation. I am grateful to you!" Xu Chengyan quickly picked up the wine glass and stood up to greet him respectfully. The two people present were his immediate superiors, and he did not dare to be indifferent in the slightest.

Cao Ruian also raised his glass in response, and the three of them drank it all in one gulp.

Chu Guangji put down his toast and motioned to Xu Chengyan: "Don't be restrained, sit down, sit down and talk!"

Xu Chengyan sat down and said: "Teacher, Ji Yun and I acted together these few times to assassinate Harada Kazuya, and he was also the co-ordinator..."

Naturally, Xu Chengyan would not leave his brother alone and take the credit for himself, and he was also afraid that Ding Mingrui had been tricking his mind during the report, deliberately concealing Ji Yun's situation and sowing discord, so he specifically reminded Chu Guangji.

None of these old guys who are accustomed to scheming and scheming is a fuel-efficient lamp, and he can't help but deal with it carelessly.

Xu Chengyan's performance was also expected by Chu Guangji. He knew his student well. He had a calm temperament, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He always treated his own people sincerely, and he never had to worry about him playing tricks behind his back. This was also

The reason why Chu Guangji admires Xu Chengyan the most.

Hearing this, he laughed and said, "I know all this. Don't worry, they are all my students. I will not favor one over the other."

After saying this, he paused slightly and then said: "It's just that although Ji Yun is diligent in his work, his temperament is a bit reckless. You should advise him to be more restrained. Without rules, there will be no rules.

Especially contradicting your superiors, this is the following offense. Military commanders have strict family rules, and we are not used to this problem."

At the end of his words, his tone had become heavier, which made Xu Chengyan feel a little pressure. He knew very well that these words were meant to talk about Ji Yun, but in fact they were aimed at him. They just went around in a big circle and left something for himself.

face.

Because Chu Guangji knew these two students very well, Ji Yun always followed Xu Chengyan's lead. Without Xu Chengyan's acquiescence and instigation, Ji Yun would not directly conflict with Ding Mingrui.
