Espionage: Mastering the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Military Intelligence Bureau from the Start

The scale of this operation far exceeded expectations, and the existing manpower of the Operations Division was stretched thin in the face of such a huge workload.

It was already late at night, and the patrol officers were scattered, making it unrealistic to gather them together in a short time.

Moreover, involving patrol officers at this critical juncture could very likely lead to a leak of the entire operation.

It is unlikely that everyone can be arrested at the same time.

Left with no other option, they had to divide their limited manpower into several action teams and arrest the targets one by one according to the pre-arranged plan.

These leaky sperm, with their brains saturated, are so stupid that their little heads control their big heads that they don't even realize what they've done, and therefore have almost no defenses.

This situation undoubtedly reduced the difficulty of the arrest operation considerably.

Tonight, Su Ming-che convened an action team to arrest all 37 Kuomintang officials who had leaked information.

As for Li Jiang and Wu Guangmiao, the situation is slightly different.

Both of them were from the military system. Su Mingzhe had already made a plan: to inform the military first thing tomorrow morning and take them into custody according to normal military procedures.

This matter is of great importance and is no longer something that Su Mingzhe can decide on his own.

Aside from a few ringleaders who will be executed, the rest will most likely be dismissed from their posts, or at most spend a few years in prison.

This night, Chang'an was far from peaceful; it was destined to be a sleepless night.

One by one, the officials who leaked the information were arrested, and almost all of them were dragged off their beds by action team members who suddenly broke into their homes without even knowing what was happening.

These officials merely boasted about their official positions and backgrounds, attempting to intimidate the other party.

All I got was a rag.

This time it's clean.

Su Mingzhe sat in his office, staring blankly at the ceiling, wide awake.

He kept recalling Li Qi's appearance and every word he had said to him.

Su Mingzhe knew his worries were useless, but he still couldn't help but think about it.

He kept imagining all sorts of possibilities, which flashed through his mind like a slideshow.

He had lost his former indifference to life and death. Su Mingzhe suddenly realized that he could even be described as vulnerable in such matters.

At this moment, Su Mingzhe was no longer a machine that only knew how to kill Japanese spies. Perhaps it was at this instant that he began to have the emotions of a normal person.

Just as the sky cleared up a bit, there was a knock on the office door, and Xu Zhi walked in.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe looked unwell, Xu Zhi simply gave a brief report on the mission, abandoning the idea of ​​chatting for a bit.

Xu Zhi gave a standard military salute and then said:

"Section Chief, all 37 officials have been arrested. We just spoke with the military. Li Jiang and Wu Guangmiao have been taken into custody and will be transferred to Chang'an Station shortly."

Seeing that the mission went smoothly, Su Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said:

"Put them in solitary confinement and forbid them from communicating with each other privately."

After thinking for a moment, Su Mingzhe continued:

"As for the food standard, let's follow the officer's standard for now. I'll report this to the station chief later and let him make the decision."

Although he knew the station manager would definitely report to Boss Dai, Su Mingzhe couldn't do it for him; that was the rule.

Reporting to superiors without authorization is a major taboo.

......

Meanwhile, Li Qi and his group were in a car, speeding towards Jinling.

Kenichi Nakamura was kept under close guard in the back seat of the car; this escort operation could not afford the slightest mistake.

Li Qi, his secretary, and Kenichi Nakamura were sitting together in a Ford car.

Li Qi frowned, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

In another car, Deputy Regiment Commander Yu and Battalion Commander Pan sat in the back seat, while the adjutant sat in the passenger seat.

Beneath Deputy Regiment Commander Yu's seemingly calm face, his eyes flickered, revealing a complex expression.

The convoy was long and impressive, with trucks full of soldiers in front and behind, protecting the two cars in the middle.

The wheels rolled on, and the car continued its journey day and night towards Jinling.

After a long journey, the convoy has now reached the border of Anhui Province. At this rate, they should be able to arrive in Nanjing in two more days.

The road conditions back then were incomparable to those now.

The so-called official road was nothing more than a dirt road that was only slightly wider than an ordinary country lane.

During this period, torrential rains have been pouring down for days, and the rainwater mixed with mud has made the roads extremely muddy.

The convoy's speed was thus greatly reduced, causing a significant delay.

If it weren't for this terrible weather, they should have arrived in Jinling today.

At this moment, Yu Wen was extremely anxious. He knew that he absolutely could not let Nakamura Kenichi reach Jinling alive.

However, the convoy continued its journey non-stop, except for brief stops to refuel, which prevented him from finding a suitable opportunity to strike.

Moreover, he was struggling internally, not yet fully deciding whether or not to take a desperate gamble.

Yu Wen knew he had been turned, and the Japanese had seized on his treasonous act. It was unrealistic for him to switch sides repeatedly; he had no choice but to go down a dead-end path.

Thus, a plan gradually took shape in his mind.

He planned to find the right opportunity to kill everyone in the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, including Kenichi Nakamura.

Then, he prepared to lead this unit north to flee to the Japanese and willingly kneel down and become their dogs.

In his view, this was a rather weighty pledge of allegiance.

If the plan succeeds, the Japanese might be so pleased that they would reward him with the title of major general.

The thought of his future success filled Yu Wen with excitement.

However, things were not as simple as he had imagined.

He had only recently been transferred to this unit and had not yet had time to place his trusted confidants within the army, so his control over the unit was still relatively limited.

Just as Yu Wen was immersed in his fantasy, suddenly, a sharp screech of brakes brought the entire convoy to a screeching halt.

"what happened?"

Yu Wen's tone was somewhat angry. He was still deep in thought when, without noticing, his head hit the back of the seat in front of him.

Upon seeing this, the adjutant immediately ran down to check the situation. Yu Wen and Pan Jianglei instinctively drew their sidearms, chambered the rounds, lowered their center of gravity, and prepared for battle.

It cannot be ruled out that this was a deliberate ambush.

Not long after, the adjutant rushed back.

"Commander, it's been raining for the past few days. The front wheel of the lead vehicle is stuck in a ditch. We can find some stones to put in it, and it should be fine."

Yu Wen nodded upon hearing this.

He was overjoyed; this was an opportunity.

Let's pull this off!
