Dongcheng Trading Company, a very inconspicuous cloth trading company in Chongqing, is located in a small three-story foreign-style building next to the street.
From the moment it opens every day, the flow of people never stops.
Business is booming and the store clerks are enthusiastic. It looks no different from the surrounding stores.
Then, this ordinary cloth trading house turned out to be an intelligence point planted by the Japanese in Chongqing.
From the shop owner to the ordinary clerk, they are all professional agents and intelligence personnel carefully trained in the special high-level courses.
Many of the customers who come in and out of the business every day are also intelligence personnel affiliated with this intelligence site. They collect the intelligence they collect here, classify it into categories, and select key points to report to the higher-level intelligence agency.
At this moment, in a secret room on the third floor of the commercial bank, five middle-aged men wearing mandarin jackets and dressed as Chinese were sitting around a table, frowning, discussing something, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
If you listen carefully, you will find that they are not speaking the familiar Chinese, but Japanese.
"Bageya Road, what do your action teams do for food? For a whole night, you didn't even figure out what the supplies the Americans sent to the dock were. Are you pigs?"
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat opened his mouth and cursed, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"As soon as the supplies entered the Yangtze River Basin and were still on the transport ship, the empire set its sights on them."
"When passing through the area occupied by the imperial army, the empire wanted to board the ship several times for inspection. However, because there were a large number of Americans and troops on the ship. In order to avoid angering them and causing disputes between the two countries, the imperial army could only let them go all the way.
Go up the river and enter Chongqing."
"The superiors judged that this batch of supplies must be extraordinary, otherwise the Americans would not directly send troops to protect them along the way."
"In order to find out what this batch of materials is, will it pose a threat to the frontline imperial troops? The commander strictly ordered us to find out."
"You haven't even touched this batch of supplies now, how can I report it to my superiors?"
The operations captain lowered his head and spoke after a long time: "Sir, calm down!"
"The other party is really too cunning. During the entire transfer process, every car was watched by an American and equipped with weapons."
"If we act rashly, we will definitely fight with these Americans and cause accidental damage."
"In order to avoid causing international disputes and disrupting the empire's international strategic deployment, I can only temporarily suspend operations and focus on surveillance."
"Not only us, but the military commander in Chongqing also stopped operations because of these Americans?"
"Judging from the intelligence we collected and the news from inside sources, they don't know exactly what this batch of materials is."
"So in my humble judgment, even if there are contraband in this batch of supplies, they are not to support the Chinese army, and they will certainly not threaten the imperial soldiers on the front line."
"Coupled with the rumors that the Americans are going to build a pharmaceutical factory in Chongqing, I am 80% certain that this batch of materials will be used to build a pharmaceutical factory."
"The Americans want to build a pharmaceutical factory in Chongqing to produce medicines nearby and sell them to Chongqing."
"The Chinese army suffered huge casualties on the battlefield. Selling medicine nearby, and it is Western medicine that Chongqing cannot produce on its own, will definitely make huge profits."
"Also, although we didn't find out what those supplies were specifically last night, our surveillance has not been relaxed at all."
"All supplies are sent to the location of the pharmaceutical factory outside the city. Our people have been monitoring the surroundings to ensure that the things are always there."
"This further proves that these materials are really used to build pharmaceutical factories."
The middle-aged man looked much better: "Then just report it like this."
"This pharmaceutical factory belongs to the Americans, and there are orders from above not to attack Americans. So there is nothing we can do."
"If there are any specific requirements from above, they will directly issue the order, and then we will comply."
In order to ensure the safety of all weapons and ammunition, Li Hao has moved his office to a tent in the courtyard of the pharmaceutical factory.
As soon as Li Hao got up from the camp bed after resting all morning, Xiao Yuan walked in with a serious look on his face.
"Captain, we are being targeted."
"I just found three groups of enemies around us, using telescopes to stare at us from a distance. Their specific identities are not yet clear."
"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I only ordered the commandos to keep an eye on them temporarily. How about I issue an order now to arrest them all?"
Li Hao frowned and analyzed: "It must be the Japanese and puppet army agents who followed the convoy last night."
"Don't move them yet!"
"Only by keeping an eye on us from the outside will their inner doubts be eliminated. They believe that the materials we transported here last night were really used to build a pharmaceutical factory."
"If we take action now, there will be no three hundred taels of silver here, and we will tell the Japanese and puppet troops clearly that there are secrets in the pharmaceutical factory."
"By then, more Japanese and puppet spies will definitely be targeting us, and that will be the real trouble."
"But we can't do nothing."
"Ask the comrades to put on the clothes of the factory protection team and patrol the surrounding area in groups of ten. The patrol area will slowly expand, approaching the spies step by step, forcing them to retreat, and they can only observe us from a distance."
Commander Chen frowned and reminded: "Comrade Li Hao, your idea is very good. You can use the trick to make them relax their vigilance. But it is impossible to keep them watching outside, otherwise the escort troops and the weapons and ammunition will not have a chance to be transported out.
Li Hao answered confidently: "Don't worry, chief, I have already thought of a solution, and I guarantee it will be foolproof!"
"This afternoon I will recruit people from the surrounding villages to build factories for the pharmaceutical factory and dig air-raid shelters."
"A thousand people work in shifts every day, day and night."
"There will definitely be a large number of people coming in and out of our pharmaceutical factory."
"The escort troops blend directly among the people and leave here under the cover of night. They will definitely be able to do so without being noticed."
Commander Chen's eyes immediately started to shine, and he stared at Li Hao and asked
"Are you planning to exchange the civet cat for the prince?"
Li Hao nodded and replied: "The leader is wise, just like a civet cat replacing a prince."
"When the troops left, the factory protection team patrolling outside the factory also took action, intentionally or unintentionally patrolling the enemy's lurking point, forcing them to continue to move back, and had no time to take care of the villagers who were leaving the pharmaceutical factory."
"The escort troops will definitely not attract anyone's attention if they are mixed in."
Commander Chen thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "A good idea is a good idea, but there is a problem in it."
"Five hundred anti-aircraft machine guns and matching ammunition would exceed 3,000 boxes if packed in boxes."
"Each soldier can carry more than one box, and many mules and horses are needed to cooperate."
"With your hands empty, you can definitely leave here unnoticed by mixing among the common people. If every soldier carries a box on his shoulder, it will definitely attract attention, and you won't be able to leave here quietly."
"Because as long as the enemy sees the box, he will know that there is something wrong with the folks coming out of the pharmaceutical factory."
Li Hao still looked confident and was not affected by this question.
"Don't worry, chief, I have already thought of a specific solution."
"The anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine gun is longer and larger than the ordinary Czech-made light machine gun, but we can remove the barrel, split it in two, and carry it directly on the body while marching, so that it will not attract the attention of outsiders.
And it’s easier to march.”
"As for ammunition, there are a total of three million rounds here, with an average of 6,000 rounds per cartridge."
"There are too many. If they are all sent out, the troops will definitely not be able to use them all, and it will be a burden to carry them with the army."
"My idea is that each machine gun should return to the base area with 500 rounds of matching ammunition."
"The rest are all left here, scattered and hidden in the air-raid shelters to be built by the pharmaceutical factory."
"After the storm has passed, we will then deliver it to each base area bit by bit via underground transportation lines."
"An anti-aircraft machine gun has 500 rounds of ammunition, which adds up to 250,000 rounds."
"We can break up the ammunition just like a machine gun, pack a hundred rounds of bullets, distribute them to each soldier, and hide them in everyone's uniforms."
"No matter how powerful the spies are who monitor us like this, they won't be able to tell that the troops left the pharmaceutical factory with something."
