It was in this year that Dai Li inadvertently learned from insiders who had returned from Hokkaido that Imai Deng was of Chinese descent. He asked Jiang Zuobin, who also graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and served as the ambassador of China to Japan, to come forward.
, secretly doing Imai Tengren's work, hoping that he would serve the country. Imai Tengren readily agreed.
Currently, Imai Denren holds the rank of combat staff officer with the rank of colonel of the Military Affairs Section of the Army General Staff Headquarters.

The secret message sent by Dai Li to Imai Deng was secretly forwarded to him by Wei Jiechen.
When Imai saw this secret message, he felt quite hesitant.
The so-called high-level officials in Japan are the five prime ministers. The prime minister, foreign minister, finance minister, land minister and maritime minister.
For Imai, the first three ministers are easy to handle. If you know what the foreign minister thinks, you also know what the prime minister thinks. He has good friends around the prime minister and the foreign minister who know everything, so this is not difficult. In addition, the finance minister is not the same.
Regardless of diplomacy, it doesn't matter what he thinks.
It is also easy to deal with the Prime Minister, that is, the Army Ministry. He is a senior officer in the Army General Staff Headquarters. It is not troublesome to know what the Prime Minister, the Army Ministry, and the top brass of the Army General Staff Headquarters think about China.
The most difficult thing to understand is the thoughts of the Prime Minister of the Navy, the Naval Command and their senior officials!
The army and navy have been mortal enemies since history! He has no way of interacting with them!
On December 31, 1938, the Emperor of Japan held a year-end luncheon at the Imperial Palace, where senior officials from various ministries gathered.
If the luncheon scene is divided according to color, it can be divided into three parts. The person wearing a white shirt, a black tuxedo, and a white handkerchief in the breast pocket is a senior government official. The person wearing a navy blue stand-up collar military uniform and wearing a short sword is a senior navy official.
Those who wear khaki military uniforms and carry command swords are senior army officials.
At the beginning of the luncheon, everyone stood tall and bowed, shouting "Long Live the Emperor" at every turn. But when the luncheon was about to end and the senior officials began to toast each other, things became a little chaotic.
Imai Dengren was also driven by Dai Li and refused to let go of this opportunity, so he walked over to the Navy with a wine glass. After all, he knew some senior officials of the Navy, so he clinked glasses with them, drank and chatted with them. He wanted to understand
, which is the navy’s attitude towards China.
The khaki military uniform worn by Deng was a little conspicuous when standing next to the naval officers wearing navy uniforms. As a result, this was noticed by Taichi Fujii, the director of the Naval Intelligence Department.
At this time, Minister Fujii's thoughts were relatively simple. He thought, are the Army bastards trying to find out some information from the Navy? This is simply unreasonable!
After the luncheon, Minister Fujii instructed his agents to closely monitor and secretly investigate Colonel Imai Toto of the Army General Staff Headquarters!
As the surveillance and investigation deepened, Minister Fujii gradually discovered some serious situations beyond his imagination!
More than a year later, Fujii's surveillance and investigation almost brought disaster to Imai Teng and Wei Jiechen's team!
This is a story for the future and will be discussed later.

After Xiao Ancheng recovered from his injury, that is, shortly before New Year's Day 1939, Chen Zifeng took half of his military police and set out for Tongguan County. Zhao Shoushan's 38th Army is currently in Tongguan County.
A temporary command post.
In the past few days, it is strange that newspapers across the country have not been silent for a day! What is published every day is how Chairman Wang was wronged and how arbitrary the Chairman was! How dark and dirty the government is!
Why did Chairman Wang leave! He really couldn’t stay any longer! Chairman Wang just wanted to achieve peace! But he had to leave! Wait! Wait!
People like Chen Zifeng read these newspapers every day, and they have a feeling in their hearts. The life of a committee member is really difficult! Everyone up and down may be saying something to him behind his back! I'm afraid there is not a good word!
Before Chen Zifeng set off, Hou Zhenglun showed kindness and gave them a small truck. They got in the antique car and the small truck respectively and drove on the rugged dirt road to Tongguan County.
22-23
The scenery that Chen Zifeng and others saw along the way was the yellowing and withering of winter in the north.
The autumn grain has been harvested, but spring sowing is still early. The land looks desolate, and the wild grass is swaying in the wind. Occasionally, sparrows and crows fly through the sky, looking for food. On the contrary, the pines and cypresses on the mountains in the distance are lush and green, giving people a solemn and heavy feeling.
Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng, Qiao Yanfang, and Qiang Hu were all sitting in the antique car, and no one spoke.
To be honest, they are all people who are doing big tasks. In their hearts, only tasks like the "Barrel Project" can be considered a task! Going to Zhao Shoushan's 38th Army to find lurking Communist personnel is really a problem.
Can't stand their interest.
Xiao Ancheng's worries are different. He knows very well that agents like Chen Zifeng and Qiao Yanfang may be absent-minded and lack energy, but it is really a simple task for them to find a partner! It may be very effective!
He was very worried about the comrades in the 38th Army! But there was nothing he could do about it! He couldn't stop it, or even look out for those comrades! Chen Zifeng and Qiao Yanfang could see it at a glance!
At this time, Qiao Yanfang whispered: "Brother, I'm afraid we are getting further and further away from the 'Barrel Project'."
Xiao Ancheng looked at her. Although he said nothing, he felt the same way in his heart.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Zifeng, who was sitting in the front, heard Qiao Yanfang's words, he sneered and said with a crooked mouth: "I told you, we have to be the ones to find out the 'Barrel Project' in the end! We absolutely can't run away!
"
Qiao Yanfang looked at him in surprise, "Where do you get such confidence? Who told you?"
Chen Zifeng's mouth twisted again and again, but he couldn't help it and whispered: "No external news is allowed. This is what Mr. Liu from the Eighth Office said to me! He also said that if there is anything that needs their help in the future, let me just tell you
He said!"
Qiao Yanfang opened her mouth wide and looked at him in surprise. She also remembered that Chen Zifeng once went to see Mr. Liu, but she didn't expect that it was to ask for advice on this matter! This guy is getting more and more cunning! He actually went to see the country's affairs.
Ask the leaders of the party for advice!
She suddenly smiled and said: "Zifeng, if this were the case, it would be difficult for us to capture so many people!"
Before Chen Zifeng spoke, Xiao Ancheng couldn't help laughing, grabbed Qiao Yanfang's hand, and shook it again and again.
Qiao Yanfang looked at him in surprise and giggled, feeling a little proud.
However, Xiao Ancheng thought for a while and said casually: "Let's investigate and investigate. It's best to exercise restraint and leave it to Station Master Hou to arrest. Otherwise, how can you ask Mr. Liu for help in the future?"
Now, Qiao Yanfang smiled even more exaggeratedly, and kept making faces at Chen Zifeng, who looked a little embarrassed.
22-24
Also on this day, another small truck also left Xi'an and drove south on the rugged mountain road.
Sitting in the truck were Lin Jiatai and Li Xiulan.
Hou Zhenglun's review of Lin Jiatai is finally over.
Ever since Long Ruihua was abducted by the Japanese, Wu Jihuai has been quite polite in his questioning of Lin Jiatai. This is a very strange thing. Only Wu Jihuai himself knows the reason!
Wu Jihuai would never have imagined that the Japanese were so despicable! They instructed me to arrest people, but then they kidnapped them that night! What did they mean? They were playing tricks on me!
Therefore, when he inquired about Lin Jiatai, he always spoke warmly and kindly, almost attracting him with high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Lin Jiatai was very cooperative and told everything he knew. He would say whatever he asked, as long as he knew it! He could tell clearly about the settings of sentries, patrol routes, rules for setting passwords, and even which senior executive lived in which cave dwelling.
Clear!
As soon as Lin Jiatai returned home, Li Xiulan was about to scream at him: "What did you tell me again! Why don't you die! Alas, old revolutionary! You have ruined my reputation in this life!"
The eavesdropper reported to Hou Zhenglun that Lin Jiatai was submissive and obedient to Li Xiulan. After being scolded, he did not reply and went to cook or clean the room. Everyone could see that he was living a miserable life!
Hou Zhenglun asked: "Is this Lin Jiatai really surrendering?"
Wu Jihuai said: "Sir, that Li Xiulan has been pregnant for several months! She is about to reveal herself! Lin Jiatai endured her just to have this child! Sir, as long as he wants this child, this matter will be easy to handle! He
You must submit!"
Hou Zhenglun nodded and couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Lin Jiatai was sitting in the truck, observing the surroundings calmly. The truck bumped and swayed. There were two secret agents sitting in the back of the truck, both wrapped in cotton coats and dozing off, swaying with the shaking of the truck.
He turned his head and wrapped Li Xiulan's cotton coat tighter.
Li Xiulan cooed at the two agents at the back of the car.
Lin Jiatai smiled at her and said nothing. In fact, he felt much better.
What he least expected was for Xiao Ancheng to convey orders to him! There is no doubt that the task he undertakes is crucial!
Secondly, Hou Zhenglun told him to go to the "Hanzhong Special Technical Personnel Training Course" and serve as an instructor.
He said: "You used to be the battalion commander of the Communist Army and the battalion commander of the Central Guard Battalion. Your position is very important! As a transition, I will temporarily appoint you as a major. I hope you will work hard in your new unit and strive to become a major as soon as possible.
You'll get results. At that time, if I propose to promote you to the military rank, it will be easier to talk to you, how about that?"
Lin Jiatai nodded and whispered: "Thank you, stationmaster Hou."
He knew very well that being able to go to the "Hanzhong Special Technical Personnel Training Course" completely exceeded his expectations! Basically all the spies dispatched to Yan'an came from this training class! He must not let this opportunity go!

Tongguan County, 38th Army Provisional Headquarters.
Tongguan County is really not that big, with only two streets, one horizontal and one straight. Going south from the intersection is South Street, and going north is North Street. Naturally, going east is East Street, and going west is West Street.?
