The rag picker finished rummaging through the garbage and left with a bag.
Four members of the intelligence team followed up. The garbage picker arrived at a dilapidated small house outside the town, where it was impossible to continue tracking.
"Section Chief, do you want to arrest someone?"
Loach asked, Chu Lingyun shook his head: "He won't send the report here, wait."
There is no electricity here, and the lonely shabby house is easy to attract people to enter. It is impossible for Japanese spies to put the radio station here.
Not long after Chu Lingyun finished speaking, the rag picker came out again. At this time, he changed his clothes and looked very different from before.
Not only was he well-dressed, he was also wearing leather shoes and his hair was neatly trimmed. If I hadn't been staring at him, I wouldn't have believed that he was the same person who just picked up rags.
If a rag picker suddenly changes his behavior, there must be something wrong with him.
"Keep an eye on him.
Loach ordered, and several team members followed him again, hanging from a distance.
Chu Lingyun's team members, some pretending to be farmers and businessmen carrying burdens, adopted a cross-tracking method. In addition, they were watching from a distance with telescopes, so this person could not escape.
After returning to the town, the man rented a carriage and took him to a larger town nearby.
"Let people go to the front to prepare."
As soon as he got on the carriage, Chu Lingyun ordered that although the carriage was not fast, it would be difficult to keep up with him on foot.
Moreover, there are few people in the wild, so it is easy to startle each other.
Several of his subordinates immediately drove the car, and after the carriage was far away, two team members rode bicycles and hung from a distance. They only needed to determine the direction of the carriage, and they did not need to see the carriage at all times.
When he arrived at the place, the man paid the fare and walked into a house. He kept observations along the way and made sure he was safe before entering.
The house was not small, and it matched his appearance at this time. The team members monitoring in front noticed him entering and immediately reported it.
"Get ready for action."
This should be his final destination. Chu Lingyun did not hesitate any longer. Ni Loach ordered people to surround the house to prevent him from escaping.
"Dong dong."
The knock on the door alerted Saburo Katsui, who was Yoichi Yamada's liaison and his upline.
He is Hasegawa's confidant, an intelligence agent from the Northeast. Among the lurking personnel of the Rangers, Yamada Yoichi is very important. Hasegawa specially sent his confidant to serve as a liaison officer.
"Who?"
Saburo Katsui took out his pistol and asked loudly.
"Okay, can you give me something to eat?"
A weak voice came from outside. It was a woman's voice. Just by hearing the voice, you could tell that she was quite old.
Such a voice paralyzed Saburo Katsui to a certain extent.
"No, go to another house and ask for it."
Saburo Katsui replied, "Many refugees escaped from Shanghai. Many of them took nothing with them when they escaped, and they had no choice but to beg for food along the way."
Such a person is not unusual. Saburo Katsui has encountered him before, and it did not arouse his suspicion.
However, he did not agree. Today, Yamada Yoichi received important information, and he wanted to report it to the superiors as soon as possible so that the superiors could make a decision.
Two hundred officers from the Einsatzgruppe came, which was no small matter.
With this group of officers, the combat effectiveness of the Rangers can be greatly improved. If they are killed while they are still gathering and unable to disperse, half of the Rangers will be eliminated.
These people's threat to the empire will be greatly reduced in the future. He must report this information immediately.
"I have already asked several families. Could you please be kind and give me some food? The child is starving to death."
As the outside continued to beg, Saburo Katsui frowned.
He has no sympathy for the Chinese. The more Chinese people die, the better, so that this land can truly be owned by the empire.
But the beggars outside kept knocking on the door and pestering him, preventing him from sending the report.
After thinking about it, Saburo Katsui came to the kitchen, picked up half of the remaining steamed buns, and walked to the door. He wanted to get rid of the people outside as soon as possible.
Outside the door, an old woman was standing nervously at the door with a child.
They are real beggars, loaches looking for temporary help. There are many such people and you can find them easily.
Loach promised them that he would give them five yuan if they lured the people out.
Five dollars, for them now, can save their lives.
Although the legal currency has depreciated after the war started, five yuan can still be used for a long time, and it can even allow them to stay away from Shanghai and find a place where they can make a living.
Even though she knew it might be dangerous, the old lady agreed without hesitation.
Saburo Katsui first looked through the crack in the door at the two people outside.
Then he opened the door, leaving only a small crack open, and handed half of the bun out.
Before the old lady went to pick him up, the operator hiding next to him suddenly kicked open the door, and another person held Saburo Katsui's arm tightly.
Exposed.
Saburo Katsui was shocked. He tried desperately to take back his hand and pulled out his gun at the same time, but the people outside were faster. The door was already opened and was kicked out by the operators. The team member who held his hand turned directly towards him.
Pounced over.
Saburo Katsui was thrown to the ground, and several more team members stepped forward to control him.
Seeing that he couldn't break free, Saburo Katsui's eyes showed determination and he opened his mouth to bite the collar.
The people participating in today's operation are members of the original Operation Group Four. They have rich experience in dealing with Japanese spies. Someone grabbed him by the collar when he was knocked down.
He could only bite the player's hand.
Despite the severe pain, the team member did not let go. Instead, he violently tore off his collar.
"Bang bang."
The other players kept kicking him in the head, leaving Saburo Katsui with a bloody head. The player took the opportunity to withdraw his hand.
The pistol was found, his mouth was gagged, and Saburo Katsui was escorted out.
Loach personally led people inside to search, and soon ran out with grenades and a radio.
"Section chief, radio station."
The radio station was indeed here, but the other party did not send a report, and the information passed to him by Yamada Yoichi was also found in Saburo Katsui.
The information was written on a small piece of paper, which was stuffed into a small white cylinder. When Yamada Yoichi was eating a pear, he stuffed the small cylinder into the pear core and wrapped it with a layer of pear skin.
.
In this way, he hid the information through the pear core and passed it to Katsui Saburo.
Saburo Katsui kept watching over there. After Yoichi Yamada left, he made sure there was no danger before going to collect the information.
The two of them have not met or had any communication, so as to ensure maximum safety.
Saburo Katsui did not expect that even so, he would still be exposed. He recalled the entire process and could not find the reason for his exposure.
"Loach, did you find anything around?"
After catching someone, Chu Lingyun did not relax. The new intelligence team leader of the Special High School had the habit of arranging security officers, which he had done before when he was in Nanjing.
If there were any security officers nearby, they would surely have discovered the arrest of Saburo Katsui.
Just before taking action, Chu Lingyun asked Ni Loach to conduct a secret investigation around the house. All places where the house could be seen must be searched closely to see if any suspicious persons could be found.
"I checked everything and there is no suspicious person."
Loach shook his head and said, as long as they can see people here, they will check it and there will be no problem.
The old lady was trembling with fear. Chu Lingyun asked Niyi to give her money. The old lady played a major role in luring the Japanese spy out this time.
He would not default on the promised money.
A few dollars is nothing to them, but to the old lady and her grandson, it can save lives.
Perhaps because of this little money, the children in front of me can live a long time and witness the founding of the country.
"Close the team."
Chu Lingyun ordered that the newly captured spy needed to be interrogated as soon as possible to get a confession, and it was time to close the net as well as Yoichi Yamada.
he is
There were many people in the Rangers staring at him, and it was impossible to escape.
Escorting the captured spy, the group returned to the Rangers.
There is a simple interrogation room here. Although it is simple, the tools are very complete. After all, there are people from the Military Intelligence Department here, and interrogation is their specialty.
"Torture."
Chu Lingyun didn't ask any questions and just came up and tortured him directly.
The person Yamada Yoichi contacted must be Japanese professional agents. These people have tough mouths and rarely confess when they come forward.
Give it a beating first and then talk about it.
"yes."
The interrogators came forward excitedly. There was a war on the front line, and they could not kill the enemy. They poured out all their accumulated anger on the captured spy.
Saburo Katsui soon let out a pitiful howl. Today's torturers were particularly hard on him. They whipped him several times, causing him to faint once.
After being poured awake, the torture continued.
"I'll recruit."
When the torture reached the electric chair, Saburo Katsui finally spoke. He had been holding on for a long time, but in the end he still could not withstand the electric chair.
The pain caused by the electric chair was worse than killing him.
"My name is Saburo Katsui, an agent of the Shanghai Special High School Intelligence Team. I have been ordered to lurk here. I only have one downline, Yang Yiming. Since you have found me, you must have found him as well."
Saburo Katsui said weakly. At this time, he had already figured out that it was probably Yamada Yoichi who was exposed first, causing him to be discovered later.
I was arrested as soon as I got the information today. The timing was so coincidental.
"Who is your direct line and how many times have you passed on information?"
Chu Lingyun asked, and Saburo Katsui replied with difficulty: "My supervisor is Hasegawa, our intelligence team. He has only delivered information twice when he came here. This is the third time he was arrested."
The Rangers were established not long ago, and Yoichi Yamada was very efficient and actually delivered information twice.
The first time was mainly about the size and members of the Einsatzgruppe. There were many Youth Gang disciples here. His report was to make the Japanese pay attention to the fact that the gang forces in Shanghai cannot be ignored. These people will also become an obstacle to the empire.
The second time was to report on the structural situation here. After Virgo divided the Rangers into five detachments, he was appointed as the squad leader and learned about the entire framework structure.
This time is the third time, and it’s about the information about the instructor corps.
Yoichi Yamada didn't write much, but it was very crucial. If the instructors were really wiped out by the Japanese, the blow to the Rangers would be quite severe.
"How many people did you send to the Rangers?"
Chu Lingyun continued to ask, while Saburo Katsui shook his head: "I don't know about this. Even if our team leader sends others, he will not let us know each other's identities. In that case, once someone is exposed, everyone will be exposed."
Chu Lingyun was not surprised by this answer.
The head of the special higher education course and the head of the intelligence team have changed, but their rigorous style has not changed and they will not make such lowly mistakes.
After questioning the confession, Chu Lingyun asked Saburo Katsui to sign and post it.
Saburo Katsui only has Yamada Yoichi as his line. There are no other Japanese around Yamada Yoichi, so he can close the net and arrest people.
"Loach, go and capture Yamada Yoichi."
Chu Lingyun ordered Ni Loach to arrest the person, and he took Saburo Katsui's confession to report to the director.
"Damn Japanese.
Seeing Saburo Katsui's confession and Yoichi Yamada's report this time, Virgo felt a little scared.
These two hundred officers were the ones he had managed to get here with great difficulty. They had just arrived today and were resting. They had not been dispersed yet.
If the Japanese army really receives intelligence and sends bombers, with the guidance of Yoichi Yamada, the nanny, it is really possible to wipe out the instructors.
The instructor corps is not only responsible for training these new recruits, they are also the base of middle and low-level officers of the Rangers. Without them, the strength of the Rangers will immediately drop a lot.
Fortunately, Chu Lingyun had discovered Yamada Yoichi a long time ago, so such serious consequences were avoided.
"Virgo, although Saburo Katsui doesn't know about other lurking Japanese, I suspect,
There must still be people from them in the Einsatzgruppe.
According to the Japanese style, it is impossible to send only Yamada here. There are also their people lurking in other places.
"You are right, find them as soon as possible and catch all the wives."
The leader nodded. He believed in Chu Lingyun's judgment. He wanted everyone to recruit soldiers this time. It would be very easy for the Japanese to sneak in.
Don't be afraid of sneaking in. With Chu Lingyun here, sneaking in is equivalent to delivering food to them.
Once these Japanese people come, don't even think about leaving.
"Yes, I will find them as soon as possible." Chu Lingyun responded.
"Don't be too tired. I heard that you only sleep three hours a day now. That won't work. Work is important, but your body is more important. The war has just begun. What if you collapse from exhaustion?"
Virgo's tone suddenly softened. Chu Lingyun was very hardworking after arriving. He had already heard about it.
I only slept for a while every day, and even when I was eating, I was analyzing everyone's files, looking for their flaws and clues to find out the lurking spies.
"Thank you Virgo, I will pay attention."
Chu Lingyun nodded, he did not have a good rest, but now is really not the time to rest.
He knew very well that the Rangers did not have that long to train and would soon join the war. Hidden dangers must be removed before joining the war.
Otherwise, this special force would suffer heavy losses just like in history. Loach led his people to Yamada Yoichi's camp.
Yamada Yoichi is training. He has good foundation and is the squad leader. He was temporarily promoted to instructor and is leading several squads in formation training.
"Captain Yang, come here."
While training, the squadron leader came over and waved to Yamada Yoichi.
Yamada Yo put away the rifle in his hand and trotted over.
"Squadron Captain, what's going on?"
The squadron leader treats him well and trusts him very much. He obtained the information about the instructor group this time from this squadron leader.
"There is a new mission. You pick two smart people to get explosives and blow up the bridge in Zhangjiagou."
The squadron leader said that this task was issued by the superiors, and Yang Yiming was designated to carry it out. He was a little confused, but he still came to inform.
