Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

During the fight, Lu Yang seized an opportunity and punched the figure in the chin.

The figure groaned and took a few steps back.

Lu Yang took the opportunity to rush forward and subdue the figure.

He saw that the figure was actually...

"Why?" Lu Yang looked at the person he subdued, his voice filled with pain.

The figure raised his head with difficulty and looked at Lu Yang, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Lu Yang, there are some things...you won't understand..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Lu Yang was shocked.

He discovered that the man had hidden poison in his mouth.

He committed suicide.

Lu Yang looked at the body lying on the ground, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

He didn't know who this person was or why he did this.

He only knew that he had once again lost the opportunity to get the truth.

Without thinking too much, he immediately rushed to Dai Yunong's office.

He pushed open the office door with force.

In the office, Dai Yunong was sitting at his desk, reviewing documents.

Hearing the noise, Dai Yunong raised his head.

He saw Lu Yang standing at the door, covered in blood and looking disheveled.

Dai Yunong's face changed.

"Lu Yang! What's wrong with you?"

Lu Yang walked quickly to the desk and placed the letter and documents in his hand on the table.

"Commander, I have important information to report!" Lu Yang said hurriedly.

Dai Yunong looked at Lu Yang, then looked at the letters and documents on the table, and his expression became very solemn.

He picked up the letter, opened it quickly and began to read.

As the content of the letter read, Dai Yunong's expression became more and more ugly.

When he finished reading the letter and looked at Lu Yang, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

"This...is this true?" Dai Yunong's voice trembled.

Lu Yang nodded vigorously. "Commander, I personally recovered the evidence from Shadow's base."

Dai Yunong picked up the diary on the table, opened it and took a look.

He saw the owl flapping its wings, ready to fly.

His hands began to tremble slightly.

He knew what this diary and those documents meant.

This means that the enemy lurking within them is more terrifying than they imagined.

This means that they may face a catastrophic disaster at any time.

Dai Yunong slowly closed the diary and looked at Lu Yang with deep eyes.

"Lu Yang, this time... you saved Jun Tong again."

Lu Yang didn't say anything.

His eyes fell on the diary.

He knew that this seemingly ordinary diary contained countless secrets.

He has not yet deciphered those symbols and diagrams.

He knew that the "Shadow" organization might be even larger and more complex than he had imagined.

He hasn't quite won yet.

Dai Yunong stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night sky outside.

"Lu Yang, this matter cannot be known to anyone." Dai Yunong said in a low voice.

Lu Yang nodded: "I understand."

Dai Yunong turned around and looked at Lu Yang sharply.

"You've made a great contribution this time, and I won't treat you unfairly. However, this matter involves too many things, and you must be prepared for the worst."

Lu Yang knew what Dai Yunong meant.

His life may be in danger.

But he was not afraid at all.

For the country and the nation, he is ready to sacrifice.

"Commander, I'm not afraid." Lu Yang said in a firm voice.

Dai Yunong looked at Lu Yang with admiration in his eyes.

"Very good. From now on, this matter will only be known to you, me, and Ye Wanru," Dai Yunong said. "You must decipher the contents of this notebook as quickly as possible and find all the members of the Shadow Organization and their next plan of action."

"Yes!" Lu Yang replied.

Dai Yunong pondered for a moment and said, "Also, Zhao Hai and that Wang Lin can't stay either."

Lu Yang knew what Dai Yunong meant.

To maintain secrecy, they had to be "dealt with."

Although it is a bit cruel, it is a necessary measure in troubled times.

"I understand." Lu Yang said.

Dai Yunong looked out the window again, his eyes deep.

"Lu Yang, we haven't won this battle yet."

Lu Yang's heart tightened.

He knew that Dai Yunong was right.

The "Shadow" organization is still hiding in the dark.

They may launch a more violent attack at any time.

He must race against time to completely destroy the enemy before they act.

He looked at Dai Yunong, his voice low and powerful.

"Commander, I need your full support."

Dai Yunong turned around and looked at Lu Yang sharply.

"what do you need?"

Lu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "I need a team that can operate in secret, and the members must be absolutely reliable."

Dai Yunong nodded. "No problem. I'll personally select a few people for you."

"Also, I need some special equipment, such as monitoring equipment and some instruments that can track radio signals."

Dai Yunong said, "These are not problems. I will ask the technical department to prepare them for you as soon as possible."

"Finally, I need your authorization. If necessary, I need to be able to directly mobilize some resources, even troops."

Dai Yunong frowned slightly.

This request is a bit excessive.

Directly mobilizing troops is not something an ordinary agent can do.

Lu Yang knew the difficulty of this request, but he had to fight for it.

"Commander, the Shadow organization's infiltration capabilities are beyond our imagination," Lu Yang said. "They may have important members within the Military Control Commission or even in other departments. If we don't act quickly, they may do something even more terrifying before we do."

Dai Yunong was silent.

He knew that Lu Yang was right.

An undercover like He Lizhong can hide so deeply, who knows if there are other "Shadow" members hiding in the dark?

He had to take the risk.

For the military, for the country.

He looked at Lu Yang with a firm gaze.

"Okay. I authorize you to mobilize all the resources you can when necessary," Dai Yunong said. "But you must report every step of your actions to me."

"Yes! Director!" Lu Yang saluted.

Dai Yunong walked to the desk and picked up the diary.

"You are personally responsible for deciphering this notebook," Dai Yunong said. "No one else is allowed to touch it."

"Yes!"

Dai Yunong looked at Lu Yang with a heavy look in his eyes.

"Lu Yang, have you ever thought about the identity of the person who committed suicide?"

In the spring of 1940, in a mountain city, a damp fog enveloped the secret compound of the Military Intelligence Bureau like an invisible net. Six months had passed, and the aftermath of the He Lizhong case still reverberated within the Military Intelligence Bureau. The corrupt officials lurking within the ranks of power had been eliminated one by one, but the diary Lu Yang had brought back revealed a deeper mystery. The notebook's obscure symbols and diagrams, finally deciphered day and night by top cryptographers, revealed a startling picture. It contained not only evidence of He Lizhong's guilt but also the skeleton of a vast and ancient Japanese spy network in China, as well as fragmented information about a high-ranking Chinese undercover agent codenamed "Shadow."

Lu Yang stood in Dai Yunong's office, and the sky outside the window was gray.

Dai Yunong sat behind a large desk piled with documents and an ashtray piled high with cigarette butts. His face looked more tired than it had been six months ago, his eye sockets sunken, but his gaze remained as sharp as an eagle's.

"Lu Yang."

Dai Yunong's voice was low and a little hoarse.

Lu Yang stood at attention.

"The follow-up cleanup of the 'Shadow' case has been largely completed."

Dai Yunong's voice was devoid of emotion.

"But we discovered something in He Lizhong's diary that is making us sleepless."

Lu Yang remained silent. He knew that he had read the diary countless times over the past six months, and the deciphered contents had made him wary of this lurking "shadow."

"An undercover agent codenamed 'Shadow'."

Dai Yunong's eyes fell on Lu Yang's face.

"This 'shadow' is lurking deeper than He Lizhong and is of a higher level."

Lu Yang's eyebrows moved slightly.

"The diary shows that he had infiltrated the highest decision-making level of the Japanese Army Ministry."

"The Ministry of War."

Lu Yang repeated softly, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

That was almost the core command organization of Japan's war of aggression against China.

"Even more disturbing is the fact that the diary records that the Japanese were closely watching this 'Dark Shadow'."

Dai Yunong picked up a document on the table and handed it to Lu Yang.

"This is the deciphered information about the Japanese's latest movements regarding 'Shadow'."

Lu Yang took the document and took a quick look at it.

There were only a few lines of words on it, but they made his heart tighten.

"The true identity of 'Shadow' seems to have been partially exposed. Some confidential information has been transferred to General Ito and will be handed over to him in Shanghai by the Tokyo direct commissioner in the near future."

Lu Yang's gaze was fixed on the two words "General Ito" and "Shanghai".

"Commander, are you saying that 'Shadow' might have been exposed?"

Dai Yunong tapped his index finger lightly on the table.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"But strangely, the Japanese didn't seem to take action immediately."

He looked at Lu Yang with deep thought in his eyes.

"This makes us wonder if 'Shadow' is carrying out a more secret mission, and the Japanese are waiting for the right opportunity, or using him for counter-infiltration."

Lu Yang's mind was working rapidly.

An undercover agent who had been suspected by the Japanese but was not immediately eliminated.

The water behind this is too deep.

"We need accurate intelligence."

Dai Yunong said in a deep voice.

"The true identity of this 'Shadow', his current mission, and whether he has truly been exposed, and to what extent."

"The most crucial thing is what intelligence the Japanese have about him. This intelligence will be handed over by General Ito in Shanghai to the commissioner from Tokyo."

"Your mission is to infiltrate the high-level Japanese officials in Shanghai and intercept this intelligence."

Lu Yang's eyes met Dai Yunong's.

This is a nearly impossible task.

He penetrated the intelligence transfer chain of the high-level Japanese Army Ministry, and in the heavily guarded Shanghai.

"Commander, I need to know, which side does 'Shadow' belong to?"

Lu Yang asked.

Dai Yunong shook his head.

"It's not explicitly mentioned in the diary."

"But judging by his style of operation, he is similar to some of our old-school undercover agents of the Military Control Commission."

"That is to say, he could be one of ours or a member of a friendly camp."

A complex emotion surged in Lu Yang's heart.

"You want me to rescue someone whose identity we're not even sure of?"

Dai Yunong looked out the window and his tone became low.

"Lu Yang, from the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War until now, no matter who it is, as long as they are fighting for the country and the nation, no matter where they are, we cannot sit idly by."

"What's more, if he is really exposed, he will hold top-secret intelligence related to the entire anti-Japanese war situation."

"This information must not fall into the hands of the Japanese."

Lu Yang was silent.

He knew that Dai Yunong's orders could not be questioned.

"Yes!"

Lu Yang's voice was firm.

Dai Yunong nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. I will prepare a new identity for you."

"This time, you will sneak into Shanghai as an arms dealer."

"The Japanese are hungry for arms. This will be your breakthrough point."

"Your contact is an underground courier named 'White Dove'."

"She will meet you in the French Concession in Shanghai."

"Remember, no mistakes are allowed in this operation."

"Your identity must be impervious to all leaks."

"Your only goal is the information about 'Shadow'."

"Understand?"

"clear."

Lu Yang's voice was resounding.

Half a month later, Lu Yang was already immersed in the prosperity and decadence of Shanghai.

He used the alias "Mr. Lin", a mysterious arms dealer from Southeast Asia.

Shanghai, a foreign concession, is a place of decadence and extravagance.

But beneath this flashy appearance lies the trampling of the Japanese invaders' iron hooves and the bloody struggle for the nation's survival.

Lu Yang lives in an unremarkable apartment in the French Concession.

He goes to various high-end social occasions, casinos, dance halls, and salons where celebrities gather every day.

He uses fluent Japanese and an authentic Nanyang accent to deal with all kinds of people.

He spent money lavishly and soon became known as "Mr. Lin" in both the black and white worlds of Shanghai.

A few days later, following Dai Yunong's instructions, he met with "White Dove" in a cafe in the French Concession.

The cafe was filled with the mixed smell of coffee and tobacco.

Lu Yang sat by the window, looking out calmly.

A woman in a cheongsam slowly walked to his table.

She is tall, with a pretty face and a look in her eyes that is inconsistent with her age.

"Mr. Lin, your coffee is cold."

The woman's voice was low and pleasant.

Lu Yang raised his head and looked at the woman.

"is it?"

He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"It's okay. I like it half cold."

The woman smiled and sat opposite Lu Yang.

"I am 'White Dove'."

She said nothing more.

"Welcome to Shanghai."

Lu Yang nodded.

"Any clues about General Ito's whereabouts?"

He got straight to the point.

"General Ito's itinerary is very secretive."

Bai Ge's tone was a little solemn.

"He has been frequenting a private club in Hongkou District recently."

"'Sakura House'."

Lu Yang's eyes moved slightly.

"'Sakura House' is the most exclusive private club for Japanese in Shanghai, open only to important military and political figures and a very small number of authorized businessmen."

White Dove said.

"The Japanese have tight security there."

The young man walked up to Lu Yang with a playful smile on his face.
