Because the headquarters of the bureau and the headquarters of the station directly under it attached great importance to the imminent strategic offensive of the Japanese army, the North China Intelligence Department mobilized all its subordinate intelligence groups to monitor the various departments of the Japanese army in accordance with the instructions, and the intelligence was continuously transmitted to the secret radio station of the Mara Villa in Shanghai.

At the same time, the intelligence department outside the Guan, which received orders from the headquarters of the station directly under it, was also doing its best to show itself, trying every means to collect intelligence, and sending an intelligence group to keep an eye on the 27 th Division.

"The Kanwai Intelligence Department reported that on 15 February, the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army mobilized the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Brigades of Field Artillery, as well as the 15th Mortar Brigade and the 55th Field Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade to reinforce the troops of the Central China Region."

"The main force of the 27th Division stationed in Jinzhou has not moved, but its logistics and baggage department began to set off in mid-February and rushed from Jinzhou to Beiping by car, and the situation has been reported to the North China Intelligence Department."

"The North China Intelligence Office reported that the 27th Division rushed to Makino by train from Beiping along the Pinghan Railway, and from Makino to the Huaiqing area, where they began to build a temporary station. Obviously, the main force of the 27th Division was definitely to be stationed in the Huaiqing area to participate in the military operations of the North China Front. ”

"In addition, according to the reports of the intelligence groups in various localities, the North China Front has newly added the 1st Independent Infantry Brigade, the 4th Independent Infantry Brigade, and the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade, all of which are new units that have been rushed to North China from Japan, and the 32nd and 35th Divisions have been transferred to the South Pacific theater."

"The Sixth Wing of the Railway of the North China Front of the Japanese Army sent the first and second brigades to carry out construction, and transferred 35 groups of bridge trusses and one erection machine from the Kwantung Army, and is currently repairing the Shangdu Iron Bridge."

"The information sent by the Kawashima Group is that at the end of this month, the North China Front Army Command will hold an operational meeting, but the divisions and regiments under the Twelfth Army Headquarters have not yet been decided, and they need to wait until Okamura Ninji consults with the General Staff Headquarters to decide." Wang Zhen summarized all the phased information and reported to Chen Mingxiang.

Shang was the core of Henan Province, but when the Japanese army attacked Tanzhou for the second time, that is, in September of the 30th year of the Republic of China, Okamura Ningji of the North China Front sent troops to assist, and built a bridgehead north of Shang Capital and Bawangcheng (subordinate to Xingyang) on the west side of the Yellow River Iron Bridge, occupying an area on the south bank of the Great Iron Bridge.

In order to provide a point of reference for future military operations, the North China Front stationed two infantry brigades and one artillery brigade of the 219th Wing of the 35th Division in this bridgehead. Although the 35th Division was transferred, the strength here was strengthened.

It is a pity that the first theater has never pulled out the nail inserted into the heartland, which has also created an opportunity for the Japanese army to realize its intentions in this strategic attack.

"Give instructions to the North China Intelligence Department to continue to monitor the movements of the Japanese army, it seems that it will be a while, and we will not get accurate information on the specific troops participating in the battle, but the troops participating in the war will definitely have some signs to find, as long as you are patient, you will always get some judgments, after all, it is impossible for the Japanese army to suddenly transfer troops to participate in such a big battle, and it must be prepared in advance."

"I want to tell you a message, just now Zhou Kuhai and I were on the phone, today I received a call from Chen Gongbo, ready to take a plane to Jinling, listen to his meaning, Wang Jingwei's illness must go to Japan for treatment, before leaving to arrange the affairs of the Jinling government." Chen Mingxiang said.

"I hope that this big traitor can be cured in Japan and come back, otherwise, he couldn't wait for the victory of the Anti-Japanese War to be tried and shot, and he died of illness, it would be too cheap for him!"

"It's just that in this way, Chen Gongbo, as his agent during his treatment, will inevitably be stationed in Jinling, and it is difficult to take care of the work of the municipal government. Wang Zhen asked.

During his concurrently serving as mayor of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, Chen Mingbo was a very important resource for Chen Mingxiang, such as the deputy director of the Social Bureau, the commissioner of the Foreign Affairs Liaison Office of the municipal government, the deputy director of the First Police Bureau, and the director of the General Affairs Division of the Municipal Security Command.

In fact, these positions are also very important to Chen Mingxiang, expanding his influence and improving his status, and he also has a certain amount of real power.

"According to the procedures of the Jinling government, there is no doubt that the daily work of the municipal government will be in charge of the secretary-general and acting mayor. As for whether Zhao Zunyue, the current secretary general of the municipal government, is in charge, then I don't know, but Chen Gongbo will definitely say hello to me before making arrangements. ”

"In addition, you don't take this matter too seriously, no matter who becomes the mayor, it will not affect my position, Chen Gongbo is now promoted, I am his descendant, who dares to disagree with him?"

"Besides, is it any good for the new mayor to move my position? That's going to offend the Japanese! Although I have a lot of part-time jobs, in fact, the deputy chief of the police department and the deputy director of the social bureau have a bit of real power, and I basically don't care about things, the new mayor is uncomfortable, so you have to come to me to touch nails? Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

When the two were talking about work at home, Zhou Guojun called and told Wang Zhen in code, saying that Wang Meilin was connecting with someone outside, and after the two talked, Wang Meilin left first, but someone from the Political Security Bureau suddenly appeared and arrested the person who connected him.

"It's really unbelievable, Wang Meilin is a spy sent to our house by the Mei Agency, and the people who connect with her are naturally also from the Mei Agency, and the Political Security Bureau has arrested the Japanese spies, what's going on? Moreover, how could the Political Security Bureau target Wang Meilin's line? Wang Zhen was a little dumbfounded.

"I don't understand, it's possible that the person from the Political Security Bureau is not targeting Wang Meilin, but the person who is targeting her, but it doesn't make sense, as Bei Zeping's secret spy, her identity is absolutely secret, and it is impossible for the Political Security Bureau to know."

"Could it be that the thief is still staring at me? When I found out that the maid of Marat's villa was connected with someone, I thought I was passing on the news to the outside, so I arrested the person? At present, there is only one explanation, and nothing else makes sense. Chen Mingxiang also felt confused.

He's not foolish!

Because he is not an immortal, he doesn't know the people of the Shanghai Suburb Intelligence Station, and by mistake he also chose Wang Meilin as an inside line to collect the information leaked in his words, and the person who was arrested was not a spy of the Mei Agency, but Yang Luoyuan, the head of the intelligence section of the Shanghai Suburb Intelligence Station!
