Chapter 1127 Warning Chongqing

"Dong'an Town?"

Upon seeing the telegram, the Director frowned. He was unaware of Ning Zhiheng's exact whereabouts, mainly because he had never instructed his intelligence agents to monitor Chairman Fujiwara's movements. After all, Ning Zhiheng's Japanese identity was far too important, and his connections were too significant, forcing him to maintain strict secrecy and handle the matter with utmost care. Now it seemed that Ning Zhiheng had once again made moves in Nanjing and had obtained this valuable intelligence. He truly was the most outstanding intelligence expert in the Military Intelligence Bureau, with unparalleled operational capabilities!

As for Nanjing Station, which was betrayed by Wang Hanmin and almost completely wiped out, the Director had just assembled his elite troops and hadn't even started operations when Wen Hao of the 21st learned of his whereabouts, which made the Director somewhat frustrated.

As for Wen Hao, the Director had already conducted a detailed investigation. He was originally the head of the intelligence group of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, an extremely outstanding detective, meticulous, shrewd and capable. After being captured, he surrendered to the Japanese and became a useful dog of the Japanese. Now he is in charge of counter-espionage work in Nanjing and has successively wiped out the infiltrative organizations of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. His methods are evident.

Now, so quickly, he's set his sights on the newly established Nanjing Station. Even hiding in the suburbs, Shang Zhenyun couldn't escape his notice. This Wen Hao is really troublesome.

He picked up the phone and called Bian Ze over, asking directly, "Is the headquarters of Nanjing Railway Station located in Dong'an Town, Jiangbei, Nanjing?"

Bian Ze led the daily operations of intelligence stations across the country. He knew more about the situation at the Nanjing station than the Director. Upon hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes, in the past six months, the puppet government has been repeatedly sweeping through Nanjing because of the relocation of the capital. For safety reasons, Shang Zhenyun temporarily crossed the Yangtze River and went undercover in the Jiangbei area. Dong'an Town is the largest market town in the vicinity, with a large population, which makes it easy to hide, so they set up their headquarters there. However, they have not relaxed their work in Nanjing. A few days ago, they even entered Nanjing and assassinated a minister of the puppet government's Supervisory Yuan..."

"Alright, alright! I'm not supervising his work." The director waved his hand to interrupt Bian Ze. Since the reconstruction of Nanjing Station, there had indeed been no significant achievements. Bian Ze was only trying to excuse Shang Zhenyun because he was afraid the director would blame him.

"You send a telegram to Shang Zhenyun, telling him to move immediately. The 21st has already gotten close to him, and he still doesn't realize it. What a joke!"

The bureau chief's words startled Bian Ze. He glanced at the telegram on the bureau chief's desk and immediately understood. He couldn't help but ask softly, "Wei Liangbi was here just now? A message from the Shanghai intelligence department?"

The director had nothing to hide from Bian Ze. He nodded, pointed to the telegram on the table, and said, "The telegram emphasizes that the Nanjing station acted carelessly and was targeted by Wen Hao. When you sent the telegram, you warned Shang Zhenyun that Wen Hao is an extremely difficult person to deal with, and that the operation must be meticulously planned. There must be no negligence whatsoever, otherwise we may repeat the same mistake. Just say it was my idea."

"Yes!" Bian Ze straightened up and loudly accepted the order. Then, his tone softened and he stepped forward. "However, Director, the situation in Nanjing is indeed special. The environment for fighting behind enemy lines is extremely harsh. Shang Zhenyun has been very careful. The headquarters has already moved across the Yangtze River, but they still managed to slip through our fingers. Do you think we should have them withdraw the National Salvation Army and lay low for a while?"

"No!" The director categorically rejected the proposal. Sitting in his position, he could not tolerate the slightest bit of leniency. Given his extremely strict management style, he would naturally not allow the Nanjing station to be evacuated easily.

"It is precisely because Nanjing's position is becoming increasingly important that we cannot easily give up. If we shrink back at the first sign of difficulty, what is the point of our infiltration behind enemy lines? However..."

The bureau chief paused for a moment, then continued, "Since the situation is so dire, I can agree to let them temporarily halt the assassination operation. Moreover, there is something that needs to be done by them right now."

At this point, the director took out a document from his drawer and handed it to Bian Ze, telling him to look it over himself. He said, "This is very important intelligence. It was passed on from the Red Party. The Japanese are building a new poison gas production base in the Xiaguan area of ​​Nanjing. It's very large-scale. Once it goes into production, it can manufacture a large number of poison gas bombs. These bombs will be extremely deadly on the battlefield."

You have Shang Zhenyun concentrate all his forces to investigate this matter, find out the situation, and if an opportunity arises, seize it to carry out sabotage. Personnel, weapons, and explosives can all be allocated from the National Salvation Army to provide full support. This is his most important task at the moment, and it must be completed!"
