Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

This was a bloody lesson learned by the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station in its battles with Japanese agents. No personnel were allowed to go out alone without reason, and any outings required reporting.

If the person who goes out does not return within the specified time, the emergency plan will be immediately activated, and those who need to be transferred will be transferred, and those who need to be evacuated will be evacuated.

However, since Li Zecheng had just taken over the task of recruiting patriotic young people in Shanghai, his frequent outings did not attract anyone's attention.

After Li Zecheng left the house, he skillfully performed several anti-tracking moves.

After confirming it was safe, he randomly boarded a tram and put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

After wandering for more than an hour, Li Zecheng appeared in a restaurant in the concession and met his contact in a private room.

"How is it? Have you got the contact information of Yaksha? The central government is in urgent need of strategic intelligence on the Japanese army in China." Xiao Tianyi in the private room asked anxiously after confirming that it was safe.

"It's difficult. Ever since the National Army's war zone codes were leaked twice in a row, the Military Control Commission has tightened the confidentiality of Yaksha."

"I used to be able to participate in it, but now I have been excluded. Now Wang Tianmu is responsible for contacting Yaksha independently, even to the extent that Wang Tianmu himself sends telegrams without the help of people in the telecommunications room."

"Recently, Wang Tianmu has been tortured to the point where he is neither human nor ghost. Today, I mentioned Yaksha. I thought he would ask me to help reduce his workload, but he didn't mention it at all and even warned me."

"If not, I have worked with him for many years, he might have started to doubt me." Li Zecheng shook his head and said.

"this···········"

Faced with the Military Control Commission's strict confidentiality measures, Xiao Tianyi didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, even the underground party, whose intelligence capabilities are much better than those of the Military Control Commission, wants to win over intelligence sources like Yaksha, which can provide a large amount of effective military intelligence that can directly influence the direction of the battle.

After Xiao Tianyi pondered for a while, he still made an unreasonable request:

"For us, intelligence sources like Yasha are of great strategic significance. We must strive for them at all costs and make sure we get the contact information for Yasha."

Li Zecheng knew what this meant as soon as he heard it. This was a request for him to get Yaksha's contact information even if it meant exposing himself when necessary.

However, as an old underground party member, Li Zecheng had long been prepared to sacrifice for his ideals at any time. He smiled and nodded firmly.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, but started eating the food on the table.

In the end, it was Li Zecheng who broke the deadlock. He took out a piece of paper from a hidden place on his body and handed it to Xiao Tianyi. There were many names written on it.

"This is the list of people that the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station has arranged to infiltrate us by recruiting patriotic young people during this period of time. As for whether the Military Control Commission headquarters has arranged additional people, I am not sure yet."

After Xiao Tianyi took it, he took a look at it, nodded, then took out a list and handed it to Li Zecheng.

"I heard that the Military Control Commission has recruited a group of elite agents from abroad with high salaries, and they want to systematically train professional agents. We are also short of systematically trained agents. Can you find some vacancies to arrange for these people? And then arrange for them to return to Shanghai when the time comes?"

Li Zecheng took the list, nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and said happily:

"What a coincidence! My main task recently is to recruit patriotic young people in Shanghai to join the Military Control Commission and send them to this training class."

As for whether there were other people on the list, Li Zecheng did not ask. After finishing his meal, due to the reporting rules, Li Zecheng left first.

However, it is certain that there must be some corruption among intelligence organizations. It is common for intelligence organizations to have some sand infiltrated into each other, and it is generally difficult for an intelligence organization to maintain absolute purity.

Not long after, all parties, with complicated patriotic youths from Shanghai, returned to their respective nests and began new training.

On the front line, the Xiangkou defenders relied on the long-range fire support of the large-caliber heavy artillery of the Madang Fort to repel a heavy attack that the Hata Detachment had prepared for two days after completing its troop replenishment.

A major general of the Japanese Army's Hata Detachment went to the front line and first ordered a squadron leader who had ordered a retreat without authorization to commit seppuku, and then personally executed ten deserters.

The field battle to attack the highlands is the most brutal battle that tests the quality of the troops.

Generally speaking, as long as the defenders are well deployed, at least one-third of the troops involved in an offensive operation will suffer casualties, and even this is not enough to guarantee victory.

The Hata Detachment has suffered more than 8,000 casualties so far, which is more than half of its troops.

This does not include several attacks organized by the 106th Division that came to reinforce. In total, the Japanese army suffered at least casualties.

Such repeated fruitless battles on the high ground with huge casualties were unbearable even for the samurai spirit. The morale on the front line was extremely low.

The 544th Regiment, which was responsible for defending the core position of Xiangkou, had already been severely damaged. It was only with the three direct regiments taking turns to defend that they were able to hold on to the core front-line position of Xiangkou.

After the major general dealt with the desertion incident, the major general brigade commander walked into the headquarters of the Hata detachment, deliberately shouting with blood all over his body:

"Captain, we can no longer care about the white devils. Ask the military to use special bullets. If we continue to fight like this, our Hata detachment will be wiped out."

The commanders of the entire Hata detachment have remained silent these days in order not to cause trouble for imperial diplomacy.

The Hata Detachment did not use poison gas bombs again. Instead, it used infantry to attack the permanent fortifications on the Xiangkou position despite the long-range heavy artillery of the Madang Fort, paying a heavy price.

This reminded many Japanese officers of the tragic scenes described by their fathers when they attacked Hill 203, but fortunately the empire now has a solution.

Under such circumstances, Shigekazu Hata finally had no choice but to pick up the phone directly connected to the military and make a request.

At the Xiangkou position, the commander of the 546th Regiment was checking the defense. Although the position had been held over the past few days, most of the core fortifications had been destroyed.

"Commander, the phone is coming from Ma'an Battery!" a signalman reported.

The commander of the 546th Regiment arrived at the command room and answered the phone. After the other party said a few words, his face changed instantly.

The commander of the Madang Fort informed him that due to the urgent need for large-caliber heavy artillery ammunition, in order to intimidate the Japanese fleet, the Madang Fort would stop providing fire support to the Xiangkou position.

Now the Xiangkou position can only rely on the infantry itself, he knows that the final decisive battle is coming.

That afternoon, an elite Japanese infantry regiment drawn from the regular division secretly entered the Ma'anshan front line.

At the same time, the 5th Mortar Battalion of the 11th Army also reappeared on the front line in Ma.

That night, as the Japanese army's poison gas bombs fell and an elite standing division's infantry regiment attacked, the defenders, who had already used up all their gas masks, were unable to save their lives.
