"You bastard! What are you saying?" Lin Zhen slammed his hand on the coffee table and stood up before Ning Zhiheng finished speaking. He simply couldn't believe that this brat had actually turned his anger on him.
In this battle in northern Jiangxi, the National Revolutionary Army fought with great success, and the Japanese did not gain any advantage. On the contrary, they were almost annihilated by the National Revolutionary Army. Unfortunately, at the last moment, they failed to achieve their goal. The high command of the National Revolutionary Army was full of regret and lamented the loss of this great opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Japanese army.
But now Ning Zhiheng is actually trying to pin the blame on himself, making false accusations and framing others. Has he gone mad?
"Do you know what you're saying? Stealing classified information from me? I'm not the commanding officer in charge of frontline military operations, and I don't even have this operational document. How could he possibly have stolen this information from me? How exactly did you interrogate him? How dare you spout such nonsense?"
Faced with Lin Zhen's exasperation, Ning Zhiheng calmly explained, "You don't have this classified document here. Shi Liqun said that on the afternoon of October 2nd, two high-ranking officers visited you in this living room. During their conversation, they mentioned that our army would launch a general offensive against the 106th Division on October 4th. At that time, Shi Liqun was right at the side door and overheard this conversation, so this important intelligence was leaked. He quickly passed this intelligence to his superior, and the very next day, the Japanese launched their breakout. Think back carefully, is what he said true?"
"Lord You, this matter is of utmost importance. It's not just him who knows; the head of this intelligence team and their superiors also know. I'm in a real predicament, which is why I've come to see you and ask for your decision!"
Ning Zhiheng's words shocked Lin, whose face changed drastically. In fact, when Ning Zhiheng mentioned the two generals visiting, he had already recalled this matter. If Shi Liqun could obtain information about the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese 106th Division from him, this was the only opportunity.
On the afternoon of the 2nd, two colleagues and friends from the operations room came to visit. During their conversation, they did mention the general offensive. They discussed it for a long time and both felt that the three divisions of the National Revolutionary Army had just formed an encirclement and their foundation was not yet stable. They decided to rest for two days, replenish ammunition and personnel, and then launch an attack on October 4th, which would give them a better chance of success.
But to everyone's surprise, this conversation was overheard by Shi Liqun.
This also proves from another perspective that Shi Liqun was definitely a Japanese spy; otherwise, Ning Zhiheng would never have known such details without his confession.
He was momentarily lost in thought, feeling extremely frustrated and filled with remorse. How could he have been so careless? The consequences of this leak of information were immeasurable.
