He Zhiying was the one who hoped that Li Zongren could leave safely. The main task of the Taran organization was to instigate Li Zongren to defect. Even if they failed to instigate the rebellion, they had to persuade Li Zongren to lead the Gui army to govern themselves and achieve the goal of splitting the Republic of China. At the very least, it would set the stage for Japan's possible expansion into Southeast Asia in the future. If possible, it was better to leave Li Zongren a way out. However, this thought could only be repeated in his heart, not on the table.
At the same time, he also coveted the general's star. Due to the nature of the spy agency, they would try to keep a low profile. Even if they had made a contribution, they would deliberately make it big and small, so as not to attract the attention of the opponent. Of course, none of their colleagues would be happy to see them promoted, so the soldiers of the intelligence agency were the slowest to be promoted. Not everyone would suppress intelligence officers, except for one person, the father of Japanese intelligence, General Dohihara.
They were both nobles, and the two of them were in the same intelligence agency. On the surface, they appreciated each other, but behind the scenes, they were secretly fighting. As for who could carry that general star, the one with the most authority was still General Dohei Hara.
He had originally thought that the Lan Institution would be able to gain the upper hand in the battle of Xuzhou and suppress the Shanghai Special Higher Police. Unexpectedly, Matsuta Yuta did not make a move. He attacked from thousands of miles away and directly placed the spy team in the first battle area. It became a timely rain for General Dohihara to attack Yudong. As a result, the Shanghai Special Higher Police changed from its previous decline. Not only did its position in the army increase greatly, but even the Sixth General of Junjun was honored. He also had a lot of confidence in his conversation with Shouyi Terauchi. Because the two of them were promoted to generals one year after the other, Junliu had always felt that he was a head lower than Shouyi Terauchi.
On a deeper level, Jun Liu was once the Regiment Commander of the 14th Division, and he took extra care of his former subordinates. The 14th Division had benefited the most from the Shanghai Special Higher Police's cross-regional spy team. This was also one of the reasons why he had a high opinion of the Shanghai Special Higher Police these days.
Kazuki Okoji thought about it. In just ten days, the advantage he had accumulated had disappeared. The next position of spy general was so close, almost within reach, but now it was far away from him. At this time, he thought highly of Matsuta Yuta from the bottom of his heart.
He was both a competitor and a friend. These days, he had been visiting the Special Higher Police frequently, almost every day. His translator and secretary, Fu Wenyun, had never been to the Special Higher Police before, but he had been going with him these days. He was also concerned about the war and could even express his unique views, which was appreciated by Matsuda Yuta.

As expected, Chen Licheng was stopped by a sentry at the entrance of the Special Higher Police.
"I am a reporter from the Huamei Evening Post. This is a special pass issued by the Army Command. You can enter the department under the dispatch army to interview. Of course, you need the permission of the department head.”
"No, the Special Higher Police does not allow any foreign reporters to enter. As for whether the department chief is here or not, it is a secret of the department and cannot be revealed.”The sentry was neither servile nor overbearing. After he finished speaking, he ignored Chen Licheng. The rifle that was originally on his shoulder was held horizontally in his hand. The bright bayonet warned the visitor that if he dared to take a step forward, the bayonet would not mind piercing his body.
The arrow was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to be fired. He believed that there were already eyes on him from that building.
"Alright, alright, I'll wait here.”Chen Licheng took a step back and adjusted his glasses, which had slipped down due to his sweat. The scorching sun shone on the wet ground, and the steaming water vapor wrapped around him. He kept sweating, but he was not dry.
He raised his head and searched every window, hoping to meet a certain pair of eyes to relieve his urgent need.
Sure enough, not long after, the phone rang in the sentry box.
The sentry glared at him, warning him not to move.
"Ha Yi! Ha Yi!" The sentry answered the call.
"The officer said that we are in a meeting now. You can only wait here until the meeting ends.”The sentinel put down the phone, his tone was a little calm, and he casually carried the 38 big cover on his shoulder.
"Ha Yi, Aliga has arrived!" Chen Licheng bowed and looked around. There was only a shelter where the sentinel was standing.
He took out a cigarette and handed it to the guard, who rolled his eyes at him. He didn't give up. He took out a lighter and lit it up. He took a deep breath and looked at the lighter in his hand reluctantly. Then, he secretly stuffed it into the sentry's pocket along with the pack of cigarettes.
The sentry dodged and let him stuff the cigarette box and lighter into his pocket.
A small bribe wasn't a request for some shade. Instead, Chen Licheng took a few steps back, took out a notebook, and spread it over his head.
——————
"He expressed his goodwill but did not cause trouble for the other party. It seems that he is really a tactful reporter.”Yuta Matsuta smiled at Cheng Xiaofeng.
"This reporter from the Huamei Evening Post is able to appear in the military and political departments. Naturally, he has some unique means.”
"Cheng Sang, can you see the purpose of this person's trip?”
"Chief, it's just a reporter. We're not the Empire's mouthpieces, so we can just ignore him.”
"No, no, as a reporter, he should know what this place is. If he came the day after Hu Sang was assassinated, it might be understandable. It was very abnormal for him to visit at this time of the year. Wasn't there a saying in the Chinese Dynasty? How should I put it? An abnormality was bound to be evil.”These days, Matsuta Yuta was in good spirits and was in the mood to play cat and mouse. As a spy, he could tell that this reporter was not simple.
Cheng Xiaofeng sighed to himself. Just as he was about to say something, Kazhi Shouji's car drove into the gate of the Special Higher Police. However, the car stopped at the gate. Obviously, the person in the car knew this reporter. The reporter immediately nodded and bowed to the person in the car.
"Oh, interesting. They know each other too.”
"Colonel Hezhi's office is in the Army Command.”
"Alright, Ueshima-kun, call them up. Cheng Sang, Hezhi and I still have to discuss the battle of Xu Prefecture today.”
"Chief, I don't want to deal with people outside the organization. I'd rather hide in the shadows.”
"Hey, Deputy Team Leader Wang has made some gains in the concession these two days. In the process of investigating the military commander, they found some strange movements in the concession, which are related to the underground party. Weren't the military police also investigating the underground gang? Perhaps there's some connection. Go and understand.”
"Ha Yi!"
——————
Cheng Xiaofeng left the office. He wouldn't meet Chen Licheng and Fu Wenyun. After a few words, Fu Wenyun could recognize him. He wasn't sure why they were here, but it was definitely related to the battle of Xu Prefecture. Could they be here for the Cherry Blossom Team? Cheng Xiaofeng's heart sank. As he was about to go down the stairs, he quickly returned.
He knocked on the door, but before there was any response, he pushed the door open and saw Yuta Matsuta with a surprised expression.
"Director, please do not mention Teacher's whereabouts in front of anyone.”
Yuta Matsuta nodded in realization."Hezhi once asked Kumamoto-kun about it. He probably already guessed it. Why?"
"Director, just say that Teacher has already arrived in Nanjing.”
"Nani?" Yuta Matsuta was puzzled.
"Please!" Without waiting for Matsuta Yuta's reply, Cheng Xiaofeng bowed slightly and hurriedly left the room again because he was running out of time.
Yuta Matsuda was left in the room with a blank expression.
——————
Cheng Xiaofeng walked quickly, but he was still a step too slow. There were already footsteps and conversation between Ueshima and Kazhi Shouji on the stairs.
They couldn't see each other. The conference room was right next to them. Cheng Xiaofeng pushed the door open and entered the conference room without thinking. Then, he gently closed the door.
Fu Wenyun would definitely find out about Teacher Kumamoto in the 1st Battle Area. Then, the news of the Cherry Blossom Squad would spread to the 1st Battle Area. Teacher's appearance was no longer a secret to the Commander. The Commander would not launch a large-scale search in the 1st Battle Area. After all, there were 13 people in the Cherry Blossom Squad. It was too big a target.
At the thought of this, Ueshima, who had walked to the door, said,"Reporter Chen, wait in the conference room first. The director will accept your interview. Colonel Kaho, this way please."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open. Ueshima was surprised to see Cheng Xiaofeng standing in front of the conference room window, looking at the scenery outside.
"Cheng Sang, I'm sorry to disturb you. Reporter Chen, please wait here for a while.”
Cheng Xiaofeng didn't turn around and waved his hand.
Ueshima bowed and made an inviting gesture before closing the door.
——————
Chen Licheng looked at the Japanese captain standing in front of the window with a puzzled expression. He bowed deeply and said,""I'm sorry." Then, he sat in front of the conference table and sized up the Japanese officer again.
The Japanese officer did not answer, nor did he turn his head. The atmosphere was a little strange, and a minute passed.
The Japanese officer suddenly turned around and walked to the door without looking at the reporter. He opened the door and the door was closed with a bang.
Chen Licheng was confused. Did he not understand? It can't be? Cheng Sang? Could he be from China?
Chen Licheng suddenly quivered. Could this person be the Interrogator?
——————
Cheng Xiaofeng walked out of the meeting room and took a deep look at Matsuta's office. Then, he immediately went downstairs and headed to Sakura Telegram's office.
He had already reached a tacit agreement with his teacher to make the 14th Regiment not dare to act rashly. This was beneficial to the national army. Since the Cherry Blossom Squad was in the 1st Battle Area, Tufei Plains would not send out any more intelligence teams. If something happened to the Cherry Blossom Squad, they would send another intelligence team to the 14th Regiment, which had to attack Yudong. Then, this paper tiger would be exposed. The 14th Regiment would make a move and attack the 1st Battle Area. Yudong would probably be in chaos. Then, before the battle of Xuzhou had even begun, the morale of the army had already wavered.
Moreover, his teacher would also be in danger!
The three people in the Sakura Teleportation Office were busy. When they saw him enter, they all stood up. Cheng Xiaofeng waved his hand, indicating for everyone to continue working. Then, he turned to Jiamei and said,""Come here."
The two of them walked into the secret room. Cheng Xiaofeng turned on the transmitter and said,"I didn't have time to ask this morning. Why haven't there been any telegrams from Radio Station 6089 in the past two days?”
The so-called 6089 radio station was the radio station that Chen Licheng and Li Zongren contacted.
"Reporting to Adjutant Cheng, radio station 6089 has gone silent, but a new radio station has appeared. The fingering method is similar to radio station 6089, but the frequency and transmission time have been changed. Kayoko only recorded half of the secret message because she is not familiar with the 6089 secret message. If I listen in, I can confirm that I've already placed this new radio station as my monitoring focus.”
"Alright, bring me that half of the secret cable.”
"Ha Yi!"
Chen Licheng had sent a secret message to the outside world, but it was obviously not to Xu Prefecture. In that case, it was very likely to be about the Cherry Blossom Squad. Perhaps, the commander was already searching for the Cherry Blossom Squad in the 1st Battle Area.
Cheng Xiaofeng didn't wait for Jiamei to leave the secret room. He put on his earphones and called Cherry Blossom Squad. However, there was no response from the Cherry Blossom Party.
When Jiamei came in with the secret message, Cheng Xiaofeng had already written a secret message. This was the password that only he could use to contact his teacher alone. This was the first time the Cherry Blossom Squad had used it since they left for more than ten days.
"Jiamei, send this out immediately if Cherry Blossom Squad is contacted.”
"Ha Yi!"
"Inform me immediately once you've made contact.”
"Ha Yi!"
——————
Just as Cheng Xiaofeng had guessed, the telegram Chen Licheng sent yesterday was for Bai Chongxi. Bai Chongxi was the deputy chief of staff of the Military Committee and the head of military training. He was involved in the development of the Taierzhuang battle plan. Only he and Li Zongren knew about Chen Licheng.
Chen Licheng's telegram immediately caught Bai Chongxi's attention. His eyes had always been on the First Battle Area, and he had always been concerned about the safety of the Longhai Line. The Japanese intelligence team had infiltrated the first battle area and sent out a large amount of information about the deployment of troops.
On the same day, the Military Affairs Committee responded," First, inform the military commanders of the First Battle Area to search for Kumamoto Shunji and the radio station.
Second, send a capable general to the first battle area to assist Cheng Qian in defending Guide.
Of course, Bai Chongxi's quick reaction had exceeded Cheng Xiaofeng's expectations.
——————
Cheng Xiaofeng walked out of the Sakura Telegram room weakly. When he passed by Wang Xing's office, he heard some movement in the room. These days, Wang Xing led the investigation team and with the cooperation of the operation team, they searched the concession all day.
He actually managed to find out some information about the Underground Gang. It seemed that he had to help the Underground Gang this time.
Thinking of this, he knocked on Wang Xing's office door.
"Please come in!" There was a hint of joy in his voice.
Seeing that it was Cheng Xiaofeng, Wang Xing immediately stood up and said,"Adjutant Cheng, it's you!"
"I heard that they found some information about the underground gang?”
Wang Xing was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was Yuta Matsuta's intention. " Yes," he replied immediately." I found some unusual movements in the hospitals in the concession. I followed a doctor and found that the major hospitals in the concession are organizing an event. They are preparing medicine, equipment, and some medical volunteers.”
"What are they doing?"
"Of course, it's to support the front line. We'll organize a medical team and prepare to go to the new Fourth Army. Some time ago, the contact that the military police had been looking for was from the new Fourth Army. Because of the assassination of the traitor from the underground party, their connection was cut off.”
"Is there any other information, such as when to assemble, when to set off, and the route to set off?”
"Adjutant Cheng, the underground party has rich experience in spying and is well-organized. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg, so how could we dare to alert the enemy?”
" Alright, continue to follow them. It's not easy to do anything in the concession. Once they leave the concession, it's the Imperial Army's world. No matter which traffic line they choose, they will pass through the Imperial Army's jurisdiction.”
"Ha Yi!"
After Wang Xing finished speaking, he looked at the disgusted back and cursed in his heart,""Bah! What the hell!"
It was as if the person knew what Wang Xing was thinking. He suddenly turned around and his originally lifeless eyes emitted two rays of light as he approached Wang Xing.
Wang Xing's thoughts had been seen through and he panicked! He was filled with regret!
He bowed deeply to hide the uneasiness in his heart! By the time he stood up trembling, his back was already wet. When he looked up again, the person was already gone.
Wang Xing sat on the chair dejectedly and his gaze fell on the file in front of him. The title of the file was: " Final Report on Attacks on the Special Higher Police and the Military Police."
——————
Cheng Xiaofeng walked out of Wang Xing's office, his heart was already in turmoil. As soon as he entered, he saw the file on the table. He was too familiar with that file. It was a report with loopholes. It should not be able to hide from Wang Xing, this old fox.
Dai Li must have already known about Wang Xing. The assassination attempt was carried out by the Special Investigation Unit 5. If that was the case, Wang Xing would be able to trace the Special Investigation Unit 5 to the Special Higher Police or the Military Police. In that case, the first person he would suspect would be himself.
And the anger that he had shown just now had betrayed him.
Wang Xing, this detestable fellow, he couldn't kill him or let him go. Kill him. After all, he was still resisting the Japanese. At least he still retained his Chinese conscience. If he let them go, it would threaten his safety. The war against Japan was not something that would happen in a year or so. He and Feng Ti had worked hard for years to get to where they were today. Wang Xing's existence was very likely to ruin everything.
He should immediately ask Feng Ti to decide whether Wang Xing lived or died. Cheng Xiaofeng's eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness.
Wang Xing actually went to investigate the underground gang. This was a classic case of harming others for his own benefit. Since the underground gang was caused by him, then he would help them to the end.
Cheng Xiaofeng picked up the phone when he returned to his office.
