Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

In fact, the section chief contacted Chen Jiehua not primarily to treat his own leg.

Back then, the "artillery god" of the 19th Route Army in Shanghai appeared and disappeared mysteriously. Now, the 19th Route Army is in Fujian, in the encirclement and suppression of the Jiangxi Soviet Area. This "artillery god" is so accurate at shooting down Japanese tanks and planes. What if he were attacking the base area?

That would be a huge threat.

"Section Chief, the leader guessed right. The Artillery God is Lao Liu. I specially transferred him back from America, specifically to bombard a few prisons."

"Later, when the Battle of Shanghai broke out, I thought he was just sitting around doing nothing, so I let him go to the 19th Route Army and fire a few cannons. I never expected him to be so accurate with his shots."

"You know that's not what I want to ask."

"Section Chief, don't be impatient. This is a long story. How about I help you with your leg while I explain it to you?"

"You still have this ability?"

"Section Chief, it seems you really don't value me. I told you personally during our meeting in Shanghai that I studied medicine in America, Western medicine."

"Come on, let me take a look at your legs first."

"It's nothing serious, the bullet didn't go in, it's just an infection, which makes the procedure a bit more complicated. Wait a minute, don't we have lots of antibiotics and miracle drugs? Why is your leg infected?"

"No matter how much medicine we have, we still lack it. The losses are most severe in southern Jiangxi, so medicines are allocated to that area first."

"They're short of medicine, why didn't they contact me? Even contacting Old Zhao would have been fine! And what about Qing Teng Yi? What about Qing Teng Wu?"

"After the Southern Bureau was disbanded, the network in Nanjing was almost paralyzed, and no suitable candidates were found to contact you. The two Qing Tengs who escorted the leaders to southern Jiangxi back then stayed there."

"Sigh. I can't say. But things are better now. I had a secret meeting with Chiang Kai-shek the day before yesterday and reached some verbal agreements, which should be able to help you."

"First, we should cooperate in North China to jointly deal with the Kwantung Army and the Doihara Special Service Agency, which will help to restrain the agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Department and the Special Service Department."

"This news has already reached the Soviet area. The leaders want me to ask you what you two talked about in secret for two hours."

"Section Chief, rest assured, the core content is mainly cooperation in North China. As for the probing question at this critical moment, asking me to use the fleet to assist in the encirclement and suppression over there, I directly rejected it."

"Yesterday I reached an agreement with Dai Chunfeng of the Special Service Department. They granted my fleet the right to navigate the Yangtze River and cooperated in transporting goods and doing business."

"Doing business? Smuggling, perhaps?"

"Yes, my fleet is actually designed to be a smuggling fleet. As long as you pay, people can help you smuggle goods."

"I understand what you mean. In special circumstances where there are no other transportation routes, your route will be the safest one."

"Yes, the acting commander of my smuggling fleet is a North Korean named Yoon Bong-gil."

"what!"

"Don't get agitated, don't move your legs!"

"Yoon Bong-gil, the righteous man who bombed and killed Yoshinori Shirakawa at Hongkou Park on April 29th? Wasn't he executed in Japan?"

"No way! You're quite something, kid! You switched him out with a cat and saved him?"

"It's like a substitution, but not the kind of rescue you're thinking of. I went directly to the Navy to get the person. In order to appease the Kanazawa Division, the General Staff, following my plan, found a death row inmate and had him executed as Yoon Bong-gil."

"Great job! You did a fantastic job, kid. Great job!"

"He's currently the acting commander of the fleet, renamed Ji Yinfengwen, and is in charge of the fleet's smuggling operations. The routes are within Japan, through Chongjin Port and Qingdao Port in Korea, Shanghai, Fujian, and Yilan in Taiwan." "From Shanghai, the Yangtze River waterway is open, and the furthest we can reach is Shancheng. We're going to Shancheng first, and then we'll turn back. I estimate that by the time we get back to Wuhan, his fleet should also be in Wuhan. You can meet then and agree on a code word and frequency for communication."

"Section Chief, how many comrades does the organization still have outside the Great Wall in Northeast China?"

"Contact was lost over there after the Manchurian Incident, and many haven't returned. What are your plans?"

"The Kwantung Army has set up a bacteriological warfare unit that is anti-human. I must eliminate it, but we don't have enough manpower. We only have a little over a thousand people right now."

"A little over a thousand isn't enough?"

"That unit was heavily guarded. The Kwantung Army knew that what they were doing was a crime against humanity, so they were very careful and deployed a large force."

"In that case, I'll ask my superiors and give you the contact information for some comrades from the Manchurian Provincial Committee. Try to contact them and see if you can."

"Alright, this is the Northeast. Now let's get to what you're most concerned about, the 19th Route Army. I have General Cai's contact information, and Lao Liu has also gone to Fujian according to my instructions."

"The 19th Route Army had the idea of ​​joining forces with me, and this time I happened to get Chen Lanfeng in Nanjing. My idea is to secretly break up the 19th Route Army into smaller units, transport them across the strait, and send them to Taiwan Province to lead the Taiwanese people in resisting Japan."

"Your idea is novel, but how likely is it to be successful?"

"Eighty percent."

"It's probably already quite high. I need to contact my supervisor to report this."

"Wait a minute, wait until I fix your leg, then I'll use my radio to send the message directly from here."

"Section Chief, Comrade Zhu Huiwu's team in North China has already opened up transportation routes to Shanxi and Shaanxi. You should keep an eye on this."

"He has too many Japanese under his command. The organization should start planning infiltration now and try to complete the replacement within five years, so that they can gradually transfer the Japanese to Yang Dengying's side."

“At the time, I didn’t think things through properly. I was only doing this to save them and didn’t plan for the consequences. So I could only settle them in North China, which overlapped with Lao Yang’s location. Moreover, because of her identity, she couldn’t completely go underground.”

"We have already taken note of this. Don't worry, the transportation lines over there are very important. Comrade Huiwu's medicines have already begun to be transported to the Soviet area."

Since it's rare to see the section chief, I definitely need to give him a thorough report on my thoughts, otherwise the organization might almost forget about me.

Dividing line —
In the other room, when Chen Jiehua opened the door and went in, Meixu and her brother-in-law looked at each other without saying a word, just grinning foolishly.

"What's wrong? Do you want to watch all the shows you haven't seen in 20 years all at once?"

"Ugh, go away."

“I really did have that idea. Thank you, Qingxuan.”

"Brother-in-law, let's not get sentimental, let's talk about work arrangements."

"According to my plan, you will go with the fleet to Fujian to meet with Cai Tingkai, the commander of the 19th Route Army, and try to persuade him to join our team. Together with you, you will lead the 19th Route Army to make a surprise escape and enter Taiwan Province in batches. You will be responsible for organizing the righteous people of Taiwan Province to fight against the Japanese."

"Going back to my hometown to fight the Japanese? Really? I'm willing! That's great! I know General Cai."

"Brother-in-law, your task is not easy. The Japanese army has two standing divisions in Taiwan Province."

"Aside from the occasional smuggling fleet, you will have to rely on your own resources to procure supplies within the province."

"I also want to go back with my brother." (End of Chapter)
