At the end of last year, our underground organization in Nanjing suffered severe damage, and many comrades were arrested and sacrificed. As a result, the base area sent another group of comrades to infiltrate Nanjing, and our Shanghai side also dispatched a group of veteran comrades with experience in underground struggle to Nanjing to jointly establish a new Nanjing Party organization.
Moreover, at that time, we made breakthrough progress in the procurement and transportation of supplies, and were able to supply large quantities of various scarce supplies urgently needed by the troops on the mountain. Of course, all of this was because Shadow provided sufficient operating funds. In order to deal with this new situation, Maoyuan Trading Company was specially established after consultation.
All the supplies we purchased from Shanghai were sent to Nanjing through various channels, and then received by Maoyuan Trading Company before being transported to our troops on the mountain.
Therefore, it's not just Manager Chang Chengye who's our comrade; in fact, everyone in the business, from top to bottom, is one of our people. Some of them are even people we sent from Shanghai. If they fall into enemy hands this time, it will be a catastrophe not only for the Nanjing underground organization but also for us in Shanghai. The consequences are unimaginable!
At this point, Lin Hanwen's hand holding the intelligence trembled slightly. Even the usually calm and composed man was startled by the contents of the intelligence and felt a sudden panic.
Xia Deyan was even more startled upon hearing this. Maoyuan Trading Company was so important? He then asked, "Shadow said in the intelligence that there was a traitor within the Kuomintang. Someone recognized Chang Chengye. What's going on? How could Chang Chengye be involved with the Kuomintang?"
Lin Hanwen walked around the room with his hands behind his back for a few steps, thought for a moment, and then said, "Chang Chengye was indeed a cadre in the base area before. He was transferred to Nanjing in May of this year to take charge of the Maoyuan Trading Company. I think it must be because he left behind some trouble when he dealt with the National Salvation Army before."
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Xia Deyan, saying, "By the way, as far as we know, more than twenty days ago, two battalions of the National Salvation Army were attacked by the Japanese in the Jingze area and were completely wiped out, with a large number of National Salvation Army soldiers captured. Could the Kuomintang traitor mentioned in the intelligence refer to the people here who have caused the problem?"
Xia Deyan thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "It's very possible. According to Shadow, this case fell into the hands of the 76th Special Agent Headquarters, so Shadow noticed it in time and eliminated the traitor. That was too reckless!"
Lin Hanwen explained, "The situation must be extremely unusual, otherwise, given Shadow's caution, he would never have made a move. However, since he didn't say, we don't know the specifics either."
They had previously deduced from various signs that Shadow was a high-ranking spy infiltrated into the headquarters of Agent 76 from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), and this has now been proven once again.
Lin Hanwen relaxed at this moment and said with a smile, "I was worried before that the 76th Division suffered heavy losses in this Shanghai riot, with most of its main members lost. I wondered if Shadow was involved. Now it seems I was overthinking it. Shadow is safe and sound, and I can finally put my mind at ease."
The previous turmoil in Shanghai left all parties bewildered, especially the underground Communist Party organizations. Organizations at all levels immediately went into hibernation until the situation calmed down, at which point they resumed normal activities.
The underground party had excellent intelligence channels and quickly figured out the whole story. It turned out that the conflict between Ding and Li had escalated and spread to a wider area, finally triggering this major upheaval. Everyone was overjoyed, as this major upheaval directly depleted the enemy's strength to a minimum, almost bringing them back to their original state. It was truly gratifying!
After hearing this, Xia Deyan smiled and said, "Good people are always blessed. Shadow is too important to us. The fact that our troops have such sufficient supplies is all thanks to his assistance. He can't be allowed to get into trouble."
"Yes, the fact that our work is going so smoothly is largely due to Shadow's support, especially this time. The enemy had already begun deploying their plans, and we were completely unaware. If it weren't for Shadow, we would have suffered a major setback! I must immediately notify Nanjing so they can respond in time!"
