Miao Yongyi was anxious and hurried to the rendezvous point.
In fact, when Wang Zhenjiang assigned the task to him, he prepared an intelligence channel for him, but the liaison station and emergency contact point specially set up for him were far away in Nanshi.
At the time, Wang Zhenjiang did not expect that Ning Zhiheng did not stay at his post in Nanshi at all, but directly brought Miao Yongyi into the International Settlement, which directly caused him to lose contact with Miao Yongyi.
Because the Japanese quickly occupied Nanshi, the International Settlement and the French Concession immediately closed their borders to the outside world, making it impossible for Miao Yongyi to contact Nanshi, which resulted in a period of being out of contact.
It wasn't until Wang Zhenjiang broke away from the main force of the National Revolutionary Army and sneaked back to Shanghai that he learned of this situation. Fortunately, he had previously led Miao Yongyi for a period of time on the Northwest Front, and the two had a good understanding of each other. It took them a long time to find Miao Yongyi's address through the secret mark left by Miao Yongyi at the door of the safe house.
He then disguised himself as a beggar and begged outside the safe house. Miao Yongyi, who had been waiting anxiously, heard Wang Zhenjiang's voice and quickly came out to meet him. Wang Zhenjiang briefly gave a meeting address and then quickly left.
That's how the scene unfolded earlier. Miao Yongyi arrived at the entrance of a watch shop, looked up at the signboard to confirm it was correct, and then stepped inside.
This was a very small watch shop, and it was quite deserted. There was only an elderly watchmaker repairing a watch in his hand. When he heard someone come in, he looked up at Miao Yongyi, then looked down and continued repairing the watch.
Just as Miao Yongyi was about to speak, he saw the curtain of a small door next to him lifted, and Wang Zhenjiang leaned out and waved to him.
Miao Yongyi didn't say much, and followed Wang Zhenjiang into the back hall, where they entered a room.
The two sat facing each other, and Wang Zhenjiang finally spoke: "I didn't expect things to change like this. I almost lost contact with you. The contact point we arranged for you in Nanshi is no longer valid. This is your new contact point. If you have any issues, come here to contact us. That watchmaker is an old comrade of ours and your only contact person."
Miao Yongyi nodded in agreement. Wang Zhenjiang continued, "My mission in Shanghai is complete. I will soon be returning to the Political Work Headquarters. Your work is special and your position is important. From now on, your work will be directly led by the person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and you will directly receive his instructions. His code name is Xiucai!"
"Section Chief, are you leaving?" Miao Yongyi asked in surprise.
"Yes, it will happen in the next couple of days. Remember, your security level is very high. In Shanghai, only Xiucai and your contact person know about your existence."
At this point, Wang Zhenjiang handed a slip of paper to Miao Yongyi and said, "This is emergency contact information. If you lose contact again, use this method to contact them. Write it down."
Miao Yongyi opened the note, which contained an address and an emergency contact code. He silently memorized it for a while before returning the note to Wang Zhenjiang.
Wang Zhenjiang took the note, took out a match, lit it, and destroyed it in front of him. Only then did he ask Miao Yongyi, "Tell me about your situation recently. Has Ning Zhiheng suspected anything about you? What specific arrangements has he made for you?"
Miao Yongyi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Zhiheng stayed in Shanghai this time as the deputy head of the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station. He led a group of elite agents to infiltrate the area. Their main task was to carry out sabotage operations against the Japanese rear, assassinate Japanese officers, and blow up military targets. The infiltrated area was within the International Settlement and the French Concession, since other areas were under Japanese occupation."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenjiang was overjoyed and quickly said, "Deputy Director of the Shanghai Military Intelligence Station? This is a highly coveted position in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, a key post that only high-ranking officials can hold. Yongyi, this opportunity is extremely rare. You must be careful and not make the slightest mistake!"
Ning Zhiheng is the most outstanding operative in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. His deployment to Shanghai, a crucial location, is naturally intended to utilize his strengths to strike at the Japanese rear bases. We are also organizing a similar operation; we've reached the same conclusion.”
Miao Yongyi continued, "Zhiheng trusts me a lot. As soon as I said I wanted to join the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau, he agreed. Now is the time when the Military Intelligence Investigation Bureau is expanding rapidly. After all, I am a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, so there are no problems with the procedures. He arranged for me to recuperate in a safe house, and he will arrange a job for me once I have fully recovered."
"Great!" Wang Zhenjiang clapped his hands, surprised that everything had gone so smoothly. He paced back and forth in the room excitedly, then thought it over carefully. "Yongyi, your position is too important. In the future, unless it concerns major intelligence of our Party, do not easily contact the liaison officer to avoid arousing Ning Zhiheng's suspicion. A person with a great reputation is not without merit. A person who can be deliberately praised by these agents must be a meticulous and troublesome character."
"Yes, Section Chief," Miao Yongyi nodded in agreement.
After discussing some details carefully, the two ended their meeting. Wang Zhenjiang stepped forward and tightly grasped Miao Yongyi's hand, saying again, "Yongyi, I am your guide. This time, I have once again arranged for you to enter the den of tigers, the Military Intelligence Bureau. We part today, and I don't know when we will meet again. I wish you all the best!"
Miao Yongyi looked at Wang Zhenjiang with deep sadness. He waved his hands and said, "Section Chief, please take care of yourself. I believe we will meet again someday!"
The two said their farewells, and Miao Yongyi got up to leave. He went to the front of the shop, where the old watch repairman also extended his hand. The two shook hands and then hurriedly left the shop, heading back the way they came.
