Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

It took about half an hour to walk.

He arrived at the entrance of an alley in the east of the city.

There are only three or four households in the alley.

Zhang Lin stopped at the entrance of the alley and looked around.

Then, he strode inside.

He walked to the innermost door, took out his key from his pocket, and unlocked it.

He pushed the door open and went inside, then turned around and closed the door behind him.

The courtyard was empty; there was nothing there.

Zhang Lin went into the room and sat down on a stool.

This room is a communication station, usually used for transmitting intelligence and making contact.

His liaison, Mr. Liu, the owner of the grocery store, would come here to collect intelligence at this time of month.

Zhang Lin leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

He was waiting for Boss Liu to arrive.

Once the intelligence is handed over to him, his mission is complete.

Time passed by, second by second.

Zhang Lin listened intently to the commotion outside the courtyard.

Footsteps occasionally echoed through the alley outside, but none of them stopped at the door.

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the gate.

"Tap tap tap, tap tap, tap tap tap."

Three short, two long, three short.

signal.

Zhang Lin opened his eyes, stood up, and walked into the courtyard.

He opened the courtyard gate, and Boss Liu was standing at the door.

He wore a straw hat and had a towel draped over his shoulder, looking just like an ordinary farmer.

"Come in."

Zhang Lin stepped aside.

Boss Liu slipped in and closed the door behind him.

"Any news?"

Boss Liu's voice was very low.

Zhang Lin took the note out of his pocket and handed it over.

"Kiyoshi Kazuki is dead. He was shot and killed at Kosha Airport on the morning of May 31."

Boss Liu took the note, glanced at it, and then put it in his pocket.

"Is there anything else you need to explain?"

"no."

Zhang Lin shook his head, his tone calm.

"I only learned about this from the side, and I don't know the specific details."

Boss Liu nodded and patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhang Lin shook his head.

"It's nothing. Serving the Party and the country is my duty."

Boss Liu didn't say anything more. He turned around, walked to the gate, opened it, and looked outside.

The alley was deserted; there was no one there.

He strode out and disappeared into the alleyway.

Zhang Lin stood in the courtyard, watching Boss Liu's figure disappear before closing the door.

Leaning against the door, he let out a long sigh of relief.

His mission was accomplished.

……

Boss Liu left the alley and walked west along the street.

He walked quickly, but his face remained calm, showing no sign of anything amiss.

He walked through two streets, turned into a narrower alley, and arrived at the back door of the grocery store.

He took out his keys from his pocket, opened the door, and went inside.

The storefront was in front of the grocery store, while the warehouse and living quarters were in the back.

Boss Liu walked into the warehouse, closed the door, and went to the shop in front.

He removed the door panels one by one and started operating the business.

On the surface, he was doing business, selling oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.

In fact, he was waiting.

We'll send out the intelligence at the right time.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown walked into the grocery store.

He looked like a schoolteacher, wearing glasses and carrying a cloth bag.

"Boss, do you have soy sauce?"

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"Give me a pound."

Boss Liu took a jar from the shelf and scooped out a pound of soy sauce with a bamboo tube.

Pour it into the bottle that the middle-aged man brought.

During the handover, Boss Liu's fingers lightly touched the back of the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered slightly, but his face remained expressionless.

He took the bottle, took out a few cents from his pocket, and placed them on the counter.

"Thank you, boss."

Then he turned and walked out of the grocery store.

As he watched the man leave, Boss Liu carefully collected the money from the counter.

The intelligence has been sent out.

That middle-aged man was also Zhang Ming's courier.

After he receives the intelligence, he will deliver it directly to Zhang Ming.

……

In a quiet alley in the west of Taiyuan city.

Zhang Ming sat in the room, holding a cup of tea in his hand, sipping it slowly.

He was waiting for news from Lone Goose.

Today, we should have a result.

There was a knock on the courtyard gate.

Zhang Ming put down his teacup, stood up, and walked into the courtyard.

He opened the courtyard gate, and a middle-aged man in a long gown stood at the door, carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

"Come in quickly."

Zhang Ming stepped aside.

The middle-aged man slipped in and closed the door behind him.

He took out an oil paper package from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Ming.

"Stationmaster, this message came back from Lone Goose's side."

Zhang Ming took the oil paper package and opened it.

There was a note inside.

He unfolded the note and looked down at it.

"Kiyoshi Kazuki has been confirmed dead. He was shot and killed at Kousa Airport on the morning of May 31. The identity of the murderer is unknown."

Zhang Ming's pupils contracted slightly.

really dead.

A Japanese army lieutenant general was killed despite the Japanese army's heavy guard.

Zhang Ming turned around and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Go back now, and be careful."

"yes!"

The middle-aged man nodded, turned around, and strode out.

Zhang Ming stood in the courtyard, watching his figure disappear into the alleyway.

Then he went back inside, sat down at the table, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

Boss Dai gave him three days.

Now, in less than two days, he has found out the truth.

Lone Goose really delivered this time.

Zhang Ming leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

The storyline of the lone goose was something he spent a long time laying out.

It is never used under normal circumstances; it is only used when it is most critical.

In retrospect, this underlying theme is quite important.

An insider working as a clerk at the First Army Headquarters has access to various documents and orders, and thus has access to many core secrets.

Such people can play a significant role in crucial moments.

Just like this time.

If it weren't for Lone Goose, he wouldn't have been able to find out whether Kiyoshi Kazuki was alive or dead in such a short time.

Having thought this through, Zhang Ming had already made up his mind.

We need to plant more spies among the Japanese.

The First Army Headquarters, Taiyuan Garrison Command, Airport Military Police, various regiments, and major battalions must all find ways to place personnel there.

If you don't contact them or use their services regularly, treat them like they're doomed.

But when it came to the crucial moment...

These seemingly hopeless moves are actually the ones that can turn the tide of the game.

Also, who exactly did Kiyoshi Kazuki do it?

This information would be even better if we had it.

But now, it's not bad either.

At least, he accomplished what Boss Dai was tasked with.

Boss Dai should be satisfied.

……

A secret outpost in the west of Taiyuan.

The telegraph operator sat in front of the radio, his fingers on the telegraph key.

Zhang Ming was personally watching him from the side.

"Send it."

The telegraph operator nodded and began sending the message.

"Drip, drip, drip..."

Zhang Ming stood behind the radio operator.

Watching his hand move across the keypad, I finally felt relieved.

Boss Dai's task is complete.

Next, we just have to wait for Boss Dai's next instructions.

After sending the telegram, the telegraph operator took off his headset, turned around, and looked at Zhang Ming.

"Admin, it's been sent."

Zhang Ming nodded and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The radio operator shook his head and said nothing.
