However, this also shows that the Japanese are now stretched to the limit. Their dream of destroying China in a short period of time has been shattered, so they have to settle for the second best and first consolidate the land they have occupied before seeking full occupation.

The two understood Sato Ichiro's meaning and left the headquarters.

Jiang Yifan returned to the Special High Section and called together Chikashin Tomoya, Sotoike Mitsuki, and Miyazaki Ryuei, and explained tomorrow's mission.

76. Follow Unit into the northern part of Shanghai to carry out the first rural cleanup and mopping-up mission.

Second, we should develop our insiders in the newly established administrative power and thus form the intelligence network of our Special High Section.

Third, when necessary, we can also develop our informants among the villagers to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of our information.

4. All newly developed informants will be commanded and managed by Mitsuki Gaike.

"But how do we establish intelligence exchanges with them?" asked Mitsuki Gaike.

"You will handle this issue. If they need radios, equip them with them. You should be an expert in this area!" Jiang Yifan answered casually.

"Do you have any other requests?" Chikashi Chikashi asked again.

"Of course you must be united with our Great Japanese Empire. As for the other conditions, you can decide for yourself." Jiang Yifan answered again.

"Is it okay to place our people in there?" Miyazaki Ryuji also asked.

"Okay, but think about it, without the cover of a local's identity, can he get important information?" Jiang Yifan looked at Miyazaki Ryujing and asked back.

"We can dress up as small vendors and go to various places to collect intelligence." Chikashi Chikashi said again.

"Sure! I want intelligence at all levels. As for the method to be adopted, you decide. This matter must be treated as a major event. Don't let the Cleansing Committee do anything that harms the empire while I know nothing about it. If that happens, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Jiang Yifan said with a serious expression.

Everyone stopped talking after hearing this, especially Wai Chi Guangxi who suddenly felt a huge pressure.

After get off work, Jiang Yifan wrote on a piece of paper and put it in the money that the Cleanup Committee would hold its first cleanup and mopping-up operation in the area between northern Shanghai and the Expeditionary Force Headquarters tomorrow.

After get off work, he passed by a delicatessen, bought a roast chicken, and handed the money to Xiao Yunlong.

Xiao Yunlong took the money, looked at the note, put the note in his mouth, and handed Jiang Yifan a cloth bag.

Jiang Yifan opened it and saw that it was 30,000 yuan. He put it away without any hesitation and left.

After dinner, Jiang Yifan did not drive, but took a walk in the night, walked into the safe house, wrote a note and put it in the Yongsheng brand pen.

Then he disguised himself as a businessman, carrying a briefcase, and disappeared into the night.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, and Du Zhen walked out of the house, opened the gate, looked around, then took the pen on the door and went back into the house.

Tomorrow is the first day of the rural clean-up campaign. The Japanese army will dispatch five battalions, including 76 special agents from No. 76, to surround the large area from northern Shanghai to the headquarters of the expeditionary army. All those suspected of anti-Japanese activities will be arrested and shot. Before that, the first battalion of No. has conducted a survey and must be prepared for the worst. The principle is: it is better to kill by mistake than to let go! - Three stars.

After reading it, Du Zhen quickly handed it to Pan Guozhan.

"Five battalions? Sending so many people?" Pan Guozhan said in surprise.

"The scope of this rural cleanup has exceeded our expectations. We must immediately notify the relevant personnel to relocate overnight." Yuan Cheng said nervously.

"Let's go! Hurry and find Secretary Fang Bo. Send as many people as possible to notify them to move."

Pan Guozhan finally said this, and the three of them walked out of the safe house and disappeared into the night.

While walking hurriedly in the night, Jiang Yifan suddenly thought of his sister Jiang Xin.

Should I tell my sister not to go to the surrounding areas for the time being?

I was so busy that I haven't visited her for a long time. Is she okay? Is nothing wrong with her?

When Jiang Yifan thought of this, his mind was filled with the image of his sister.

After repeated consideration, Jiang Yifan decided to inform his sister to avoid any accidents.

So Jiang Yifan called a rickshaw and headed towards Huajie's home.

Along the way, Jiang Yifan changed rickshaws three times, and then he walked the last section of the way by himself.

The closer he got to home, the faster Jiang Yifan's heart beat. He was so scared that he knocked on the door but didn't see his sister open it for him.

He tried desperately to stop his wild thoughts, but his steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

“Boom—boom!”

When he arrived at the door of his house, everything was eerily quiet. He looked around and didn't find anything unusual. Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door with difficulty.

Jiang Xin, who was sitting in the room, suddenly heard a knock on the door that she had not heard for a long time, and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

This is my brother knocking on the door!

But she didn't stand up immediately, instead she desperately told herself to calm down! Calm down!

My brother hasn’t come for so many days, why is he here today?

Will something happen to my brother?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xin's heart started beating even faster.

Her heart was shouting: Calm down! Calm down!

But his body stood up involuntarily and walked into the yard.

“Boom—boom!”

There was a familiar knock on the door again.

Jiang Xin opened the gate regardless of everything, and the word "brother" that she could no longer suppress was about to come out of her mouth.

However, she still clenched her teeth, choked, and swallowed the two words back.

In the darkness, the brother and sister just watched silently, and no one spoke.

Finally, Jiang Yifan looked at his sister who was unharmed and walked into the house with peace of mind.

Jiang Xin closed the gate and followed her brother into the house silently.

"Why aren't you talking?" Jiang Yifan looked at Jiang Xin and asked.

"I... don't know... what to say?" Jiang Xin was choking with sobs and couldn't speak. She answered incoherently.

Hearing this, Jiang Yifan hugged his sister in his arms and gently stroked her hair: "Silly! Brother is fine! You don't have to worry!"

"Yeah!" After hearing Jiang Yifan's words, Jiang Xin hugged Jiang Yifan tightly with her backhand, tears streaming down her face. She finally felt relieved and nodded vigorously.

"I came here just to see if you are okay?" Jiang Yifan looked at his sister who was worried about him, and tears couldn't be controlled from flowing down.

What kind of world is this? Relatives can’t recognize each other, and the distance between them becomes far away.

"I'm fine! Now I'm just focusing on being a nurse. I don't do anything else. As long as you're okay, I'll be relieved."

Jiang Xin burst into tears, venting all the worries that had been pent up in her heart and the joy of suddenly seeing her brother, enjoying the warmth in her brother's heart.

But for her brother's safety, she still suppressed the desire to call him "brother".
