After hanging up the phone, he called Zhao Ziliang again. This matter had to be reported to Zhao Ziliang. The door to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department was not something a major could arbitrarily close. He had to report it to his superiors.
"Section Chief, this is what happened. I noticed suspicious individuals following me near the entrance of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. I suspect they have ulterior motives and may do something to harm me. I have already ordered my action team to control and seal off the entire block, but I only have two action teams at my disposal right now, which is a bit insufficient. I would appreciate it if you could arrange some reinforcements!"
"What?! How could such a thing happen? Who would dare to harm you, especially right here at the entrance of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department? This is outrageous! Zhiheng, stay put! I'll arrange for a blockade immediately. We absolutely cannot let them escape!" Zhao Ziliang's face changed drastically upon hearing Ning Zhiheng's report!
Ning Zhiheng was his trusted lieutenant and one of the most important members of the Action Section. His safety was absolutely paramount, especially since this was right at the entrance of the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau. If anything happened to him, the entire Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau would become a laughing stock, which was absolutely intolerable!
The order was quickly given, and a large number of operatives rushed out of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department at top speed. After the vehicles reached the street corner, they quickly lined up, and the well-trained operatives got out of the vehicles and guarded all the entrances and exits.
This sudden action did not surprise the people around. They lived in the area and knew that large numbers of officers and soldiers were frequently dispatched from the compound across the street. They were used to such things, so no one panicked. Instead, some people whispered among themselves about who they were going to arrest this time.
Kosuke Ikeda and Kazunari Yamauchi, who had been observing from inside the shop, were caught off guard by the sudden situation. However, they noticed that the people around them were not panicked; on the contrary, some were pointing and talking amongst themselves.
"What are they doing? Is there some kind of operation? Who are they targeting?" Kosuke Ikeda said in a low voice, watching the large group of people rushing past the shop entrance.
"I don't know, but it must be a big operation, with a lot of people involved. It's a pity we don't have any informants in the military intelligence department, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a passive position! In recent times, our people in Nanjing have repeatedly failed and suffered heavy losses, all because we know too little about them. That's why the team leader sent us to conduct a detailed investigation of their internal personnel. There is a Chinese proverb, 'Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will win every battle!'" Yamauchi Kazunari replied softly.
They were the agents personally dispatched by Yuji Imai, the head of the intelligence group specifically responsible for intelligence work in Nanjing, from the headquarters of the Japanese Special Higher Police. They were sent into Nanjing to conduct a detailed investigation into the deteriorating intelligence battlefield situation. Investigating their main adversary, the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, was of paramount importance!
Just as they were discussing things, an unexpected situation caught them off guard. A large number of fully armed personnel did not go far, but instead sealed off the entire block on the spot, blocking the entrances and exits with military vehicles and fences, and blocking all the alleys and alleys.
"Yamachi-kun, the situation is not good. They have blocked all the entrances and exits in the vicinity. Could they be coming for us?" Ikeda Kosuke quickly realized something was wrong. His reaction was much sharper. He had been working on the front lines of intelligence for much longer than Yamauchi Kazunari, and his vigilance and experience were much higher.
Kazunari Yamauchi also became alert. He first reassured them, "Don't panic. This is such a large block with several thousand residents. Their target may not be us. Besides, our investigation is very discreet and should not have alerted these Chinese agents."
Kosuke Ikeda was not as optimistic as him. The reason he had survived on the most dangerous front lines of intelligence all these years was because he believed that caution was the best policy!
Kosuke Ikeda, being more experienced, suggested, "We need to be prepared. We can't just sit here and wait to die. Let's go check if there are any other alleys nearby, or find a secluded place. Staying on the street is too conspicuous!"
I need your monthly votes! Monthly votes! Monthly votes! I'm saying it three times because it's important!
