However, the Special Higher Police (THD) was the earliest to start, the strongest, and had the highest degree of infiltration into China, causing the greatest harm. It was also the main adversary of China's intelligence agency, namely the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, during this period.
Fearing that Ning Zhiheng would be dissatisfied with his answer, Yasuda Seiji quickly added, "However, they have been gathering information about Chinese artillery positions in Yangjing District all this time. The intelligence from last night should have been obtained by them. I think they will be hiding in towns near the coastal defense line, but I really don't know the exact location."
Hearing Yasuda Seiji's answer, Ning Zhiheng was certain that Yasuda Seiji had indeed revealed everything he knew, and given his status, it was impossible for him to know the exact location of Akita Akihito and the others.
He stood up, walked to Yasuda Seiji's side, and said gently, "Yasuda-kun, I am satisfied with our conversation. I will keep my promise and not hurt you, but it is impossible for me to let you go back like this. As for your future fate, you should think about it carefully. I hope that when we meet next time, you can give me a satisfactory answer. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I will follow your orders!" Yasuda Seiji nodded dejectedly. Things had come to this point, and he had already revealed all his secrets just to save his own life. Did he have any other choice?
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction. He still had some thoughts about Yasuda Seiji. His identity was very special, and he could access a lot of top-secret information, as evidenced by his performance this time.
Through the contents of these telegrams he provided, Ning Zhiheng not only confirmed that there was a high-ranking spy directly controlled by the Japanese intelligence headquarters hiding in the command post, but also was able to determine the location of another Noguchi branch operating near Takahashi, a huge gain!
Moreover, if one could also plant a mole in the military's intelligence department, especially a cipher clerk who directly controls the transmission of classified intelligence, it would be of great help to one's future espionage activities.
He went outside and called Sun Jiacheng in, ordering, "Take this man away, give him a bath, change him into our military uniform, and keep him under separate guard. Don't let anyone touch him."
"Yes!" Sun Jiacheng nodded in acceptance and left with Yasuda Seiji.
The information provided by Yasuda Seiji was extremely important, and he had to report it to Commander Zhang Zhengkui immediately.
Ning Zhiheng left the garrison and rushed to the command post to see the commander again. When his adjutant Li Lixin saw that it was Ning Zhiheng, he quickly came forward to greet him.
Li Lixin grabbed Lin Zhiheng's arm, gestured for him to come, and said urgently, "Zhiheng, you're here just in time! The commander has just returned from the front lines and is about to summon you. I was just about to send someone to inform him when you arrived. Come quickly, come with me!"
Ning Zhiheng was secretly surprised to hear his anxious tone, wondering what the commander wanted to see him about.
Back from the front lines? Could it be that something happened at the front? Or is the situation so dire that they sent their own troops to the front? That would be troublesome!
Ning Zhiheng felt uneasy and quickly followed Li Lixin into the operations room. At this time, there were still many staff members working busily in the spacious operations room. Some were having heated discussions on the operations sand table, while others were making phone calls to communicate with the outside world. In short, it was noisy, far from the quiet atmosphere of Ning Zhiheng's previous two visits. Ning Zhiheng's heart tightened. Something big must have happened, and he wondered what kind of impact it would have on him.
Li Lixin led Ning Zhiheng to the door of an office connected to the operations room, which was usually the office of Commander Zhang Zhengkui.
Two people knocked on the door and entered. Ning Zhiheng immediately saw Zhang Zhengkui standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
"Commander, Ning Zhiheng has arrived!" Li Lixin stepped forward and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhengkui turned to Ning Zhiheng and said with a smile, "You came quickly. I had something to discuss with you."
After speaking, he waved to Li Lixin, who immediately nodded, turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.
