Li Lixin entered the office, bowed and asked Zhang Zhengkui for instructions: "Commander, you have something to ask me!"

Zhang Zhengkui was so depressed that he couldn't calm down and his mind was swollen. He sat in the seat and waved his hand to Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng immediately understood what he meant, so he turned around and introduced some situations to Li Lixin, but he deliberately omitted the message, but said that according to reliable information, someone informed the Japanese and learned about the itinerary of the commander's two patrols of the heavy artillery brigade positions, thus judging the approximate range.

After all, the telegram records were provided by Seiji Yasuda, and Seiji Yasuda will be an important piece he installed into the intelligence department of the Japanese military. His news must not be disclosed to anyone.

Of course, Ning Zhiheng dared not hide anything from Zhang Zhengkui, otherwise he would not be able to win the trust of Zhang Zhengkui.

When Zhang Zhengkui heard Ning Zhiheng's narration, he quickly understood Ning Zhiheng's intention. He thought that this child was worthy of being an agent who engaged in intelligence and was so cautious in speaking and doing things. In contrast, the officers in his army were indeed too negligent in this regard.

He picked up the telegram record in his hand and signaled to Ning Zhiheng. Ning Zhiheng also understood Zhang Zhengkui's intention, which was to keep it confidential for him, so he took the telegram record and carefully closed it.

Ning Zhiheng then said, "Brother Lixin, I just want to know now. Do you still remember October 1st? Does anyone know the itinerary of the commander's inspection of the position in the heavy artillery?"

Li Lixin kept listening to Ning Zhiheng's narrative. There was a Japanese spy in the war zone command center. He was obviously shocked by this incident, but he was also a determined person. He was stunned for a moment and quickly said: "The time has passed a little long, and I don't remember it clearly. However, the person who can know the commander's itinerary is usually me, Chief of Staff Luo Yingzhe of the General Staff and the Chief of the Guard Company Zhang Zhiye knew that of course the other combat staff might also know.

Confidential secretary Lu Weicai was swept away by shrapnel during an enemy plane bombing at the end of last month. On October 1st, he was still recuperating in the infirmary and has not yet fully recovered, so he can be ruled out.

As for the others, Chief of Staff Luo and Operational Staff Cheng Ting, and the guard company commander Zhang Zhiye can be ruled out.

Then there are only four other combat staff members left.”

In the theater command, the staff department is a very important auxiliary department, especially the highest-ranking chief of staff and five combat staff. They are the senior officers who usually have the most contact with Zhang Zhengkui. They usually collect and organize combat information from various departments and troops. According to Zhang Zhengkui's instructions, they specify specific combat plans and arrange specific combat tasks. Therefore, it is not difficult for them to know some information about Zhang Zhengkui.

Ning Zhiheng nodded when he heard this and said, "In this way, there are four suspects. There are not many people. We have enough energy to monitor them!"

Zhang Zhengkui was stunned for a moment and said for a long time: "After all, these four people are subordinates who have been following me for many years. Although they need to check it carefully, don't hurt your face!"

Ning Zhiheng understood Zhang Zhengkui's concerns. He smiled and said, "Commander, please rest assured. We have many ways to identify such small-scale doubts about targets. If we don't want to force ourselves and hurt everyone's kindness, then the easiest and effective move is to send holiday information and let the target jump out by itself. As long as the surveillance is in place, everything will be revealed soon!"

Zhang Zhengkui waved his hand and said, "Let me leave this matter to you. After all, you are an expert in intelligence. But time cannot be delayed. Our troops are about to set off, and you don't have much time!"

When talking about the last sentence, Zhang Zhengkui was a little hesitant, but still didn't say much.

"Yes, the student will find this mole as soon as possible and will never give him another chance to convey any information!" Ning Zhiheng replied loudly, and after saying that, hesitated again, "The student has one more thing to report!"

"What else?" Zhang Zhengkui asked, but when he saw Ning Zhiheng's hesitant look, he turned to Li Lixin and said, "You go first!"

Li Lixin was extremely clever and immediately stood at attention to take the order, turned around and left the office.

Ning Zhiheng has always been cautious in his work. Seeing Li Lixin leave, he continued to report: "Through the telegram, we found that the Noguchi plainclothes team, which has been active in the Takahashi area, has been hidden in a warehouse called Whittle. I plan to set off tomorrow to encircle this plainclothes team." Ning Zhiheng stepped forward to report.

"Whitle Warehouse?" Zhang Zhengkui was stunned. He asked in confusion, "Hasn't we emptied it there? Do they dare to hide there?"

Ning Zhiheng did not expect that Zhang Zhengkui knew about the Whitel warehouse. After he received the information, he rushed over. He had not yet learned the situation in a hurry, so he quickly asked, "Do you know this warehouse?"

Zhang Zhengkui nodded, stepped onto a map hanging on the wall, pointed to a mark in the Gaoqiao area and said, "This is the Whittle Warehouse, located along the Huangpu River. Don't underestimate this warehouse. At the end of August, we fought several times to grab this warehouse with the Japanese."

He looked at Ning Zhiheng's surprised look and explained carefully: "This Whitel warehouse was originally built by a British merchant, but the Japanese used some means to bribe the British. In such an inconspicuous warehouse, the Japanese actually quietly stored a large amount of high-quality coal!"

"Coal?" Ning Zhiheng asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's coal! And it's high-quality coal specially used to drive Japanese gunboats, which they have planned for a long time.

Many Japanese gunboats are now driven by steam, and they must use a lot of coal for driving and combat.

In order to facilitate the replenishment, they hid the coals in advance in Whitle warehouse. As long as the war begins, they can replenish a large amount of high-quality coal nearby and drive gunboats to block the surface of the Huangpu River.

Because the warehouse was hung with the British sign, we did not clear the Whittle warehouse at the beginning of the war, and we did not find these high-quality coals. As a result, at the beginning of the war, the Japanese tried to land on Takahashi and were repelled in time by us.

It was not until by chance that we discovered that their true intention was these high-quality coals. Later, after several competition with the Japanese, we finally emptied the entire warehouse. Only then did the Japanese give up and they gave up their attempt to land in the Takahashi area.

No one paid attention to this Whittle warehouse anymore, and now it has become an empty room. Unexpectedly, the Japanese plainclothes team dared to hide here."

After hearing Zhang Zhengkui's narration, Ning Zhiheng realized that this Whitel warehouse was actually a key military place that both sides had focused on, but now it has no value, so they all gave up.

However, the so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, and the Japanese are also well aware of this!

At this time, Zhang Zhengkui was a little lost in the face of the map, as if he had thought of something!

Suddenly his face changed and he said thoughtfully: "Do they want to repeat the old thing and land on Takahashi again?"

Ning Zhiheng did not understand the overall situation of the war, nor did he have a keen insight into the battlefield dynamics like Zhang Zhengkui, a veteran who had been in battle, but he still understood what Zhang Zhengkui meant.

"You mean, they may land in the Takahashi area again and repeat the scene during the Lujiazui landing battle." Ning Zhiheng asked in confusion.

Ning Zhiheng still knew about the Lujiazui landing war. At that time, the Japanese army landed in Lujiazui and was blocked by the Chinese army. At this time, the plainclothes team hidden in the nearby coastal warehouse suddenly attacked the flanks of the Chinese army. The Chinese army caught off guard and almost made the Japanese succeed. Later, it cost a huge price to repel the Japanese army.

Now do they still want to use the same trick again and land in the Takahashi area, and then the plainclothes team attacked the flank from the Whitle warehouse and tried to complete the landing operation?

Zhang Zhengkui's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "It's very likely! It's just that there is only a relatively suitable landing point in the Gaoqiao area, which is actually not suitable for landing operations. So our defense focus is in the middle reaches of the Huangpu River where the docks are densely packed. Now it seems that we have to be careful!"

Zhang Zhengkui turned to Ning Zhiheng and said solemnly: "I will adjust the combat plan immediately. I originally planned to go to Wusongkou to set up defenses, and the command center would also move to Wangjiaji in Wusongkou. Now it seems that Gaoqiao needs more precautions. Zhiheng, if the enemy really launches a surprise attack on Gaoqiao this time, then you will make another great contribution!"

Ning Zhiheng said with shame: "The students did nothing, how dare they receive such great achievements? Besides, whether the Japanese army would land on Takahashi is still unknown!"

Zhang Zhengkui said seriously: "We must have this preparation. I will divide some troops to strengthen the defense in the Takahashi area. The landing point there is a single place. As long as there is defense, it will be difficult for the Japanese to succeed."

Ning Zhiheng knew that Zhang Zhengkui had extremely rich experience in the battlefield and had strong control over the situation, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks by the leader to preside over the military affairs of the right-wing war zone.

He asked again: "In case, I will clear this Noguchi plainclothes team first to prevent future troubles!"

Zhang Zhengkui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since you know their hiding place, there is no threat. A small army of 100 people, as long as it is not caught off guard at a critical moment, is actually insignificant. I will keep them and lure the Japanese into the bait."
