Chapter 1573 There must be a mole in the bureau
Ono Kikuko hated the old man to the core and encouraged him, "Thank you, Elder! You should be better than the director of the Kage Agency."
Elder Xie nodded and said, "The Empire is about to launch 'Operation Plan No. 5' to capture Chongqing in a roundabout way. I want to surpass the head of the Shadow Bureau in espionage and replace him as the general."
Ono Kikuko asked in confusion, "Thank you, Elder! Wasn't the Empire's 'Operation Plan No. 5' already stalled? Why is it being launched again now?"
Elder Xie said with a smile: "The imperial army swept across Southeast Asia. In Singapore, they besieged more than 3 well-equipped British troops with troops without heavy weapons, and actually forced the British to surrender. The weapons and ammunition they seized piled up like mountains.
In the Philippines, a small number of troops were used to force the surrender of the US military, which had superior numbers and equipment.
In Burma, the British army refused to cooperate with the Chinese Expeditionary Force and was also defeated by our army.
The Imperial Army is invincible, having seized a large amount of strategic resources and is now able to implement Operation Plan No. 5."
Ono Kikuko smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that for the Empire, only the Chinese army is difficult to defeat."
Elder Xie nodded and said, "Yes! The most difficult ones to defeat are the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. I'm getting off topic! You and Ah Xiang will act immediately and stage an attack in downtown Chongqing."
"Hello!"
Ono Kikuko hurriedly took the order, turned around and ran out.
Elder Xie muttered to himself, "What a mistake! The night is long! Why didn't you let her stay?"
Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, Thousand Buddha Mountain in Mianyang.
Xiang Chu's convoy traveled quickly all the way and arrived at the foot of the mountain in the evening.
The convoy moved away from the road and stopped in an open space under the cliff.
Everyone got out of the car and looked at the cliff in shock.
There are countless niches of various sizes and Buddha statues in various shapes, which are extremely sacred under the setting sun.
Liu Zhengxiong exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my goodness! What kind of place is this? There are so many Buddha statues."
Xiang Chu sighed, "Alas! This is Thousand Buddha Cliff! There used to be tens of thousands of Buddha statues here, but when the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway was built in 1936, tens of thousands of statues were destroyed, and only a small portion remains."
Liu Zhengxiong shouted, "Can't we change the route? What a pity."
Mr. Wu lamented, "The mountain is a Buddhist wall, and the Buddhist wall is a mountain. What a pity!"
Liu Zhengxiong praised: "Mr. Wu is indeed educated, Xiang Chu! You should learn more from him."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Well! Take the men to look after the children. Zhang Fei! Take the men to set up the tents. Gan Rong! Take the men to light the fire and cook. Xiao Liu! Take the men to deploy defenses and conduct reconnaissance. Qian Fu! Set up the radio station."
"Yes!"
Zhang Fei and others hurriedly accepted the order.
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "Mr. Chu! You should send Xiaoliu to take care of the child. I am not capable enough."
Xiang Chu looked at his lazy appearance and wanted to kick him.
Xiaoliu punched Liu Zhengxiong on the back and left with the shadow spies.
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Little Liu! Don't be so modest. You are kind and loving, and you are the best person to take care of children. Go ahead!"
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong accepted the order respectfully.
Mr. Wu said to Xiang Chu, "Chu! Tell our family where we are."
"Yes!"
Xiang Chu hurriedly accepted the order.
At this time, Qian Fu had already set up the radio station and covered it with a tent.
Xiang Chu walked into the tent and personally sent a telegram to his hometown.
Not long after, I received a call back:
"Phoenix! Protect Mr. Wu no matter what."
Xiang Chu replied: "I will defend it to the death, no mistakes!"
Qian Fu suggested, "Boss! The Japanese spies must have learned that you left Chongqing. I think you should send a telegram to Qingmu Lianhua to tell her to leave Chongqing."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "You are right! I sent her a telegram on the pretext of completing the reconnaissance mission of the Japanese 'Operation Plan No. 5'."
Qian Fu said with a smile, "You must be more affectionate, otherwise the previous telegram will be exposed."
Xiang Chu handed him the canteen and said, "Okay! Go get me a canteen of water."
"Yes!"
Qian Fu hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu organized his thoughts and sent a rather corny telegram to Qing Mu Lianhua.
Soon, a call back arrived: "Dear husband! You are truly the Empire's ace agent. You have penetrated deep behind enemy lines to verify the feasibility of 'Operation Plan No. 5'. Lotus is proud of you and will report this feat to the headquarters and the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau."
Xiang Chu thought to himself, "I never thought this devil woman would be more capable than Nan Zao Yunzi, and she was easily fooled. It would be best if I could persuade her to rebel."
At this time, the radio transmission sounded.
Xiang Chu hurriedly copied and translated the message:
"Brother Chu! Military Intelligence Bureau agents disguised as Red Lantern cult members will attack you along the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway. Be careful. Pick the wildflower!"
Xiang Chu replied to the message, walked out of the tent, and ordered, "Lao Gan! Zhang Fei! When you two are done, take your men to the perimeter to deploy defenses to prevent Military Control Commission agents from impersonating members of the Red Lantern Cult and attacking us at night."
Zhang Fei asked doubtfully, "Brother Xiang! What is the Red Lantern Cult?"
Xiang Chu explained, "The Red Lantern Cult, also known as Yincao or Shaolin Shenda, is a secret folk religion formed by the fusion of the Huidao Sect and the Shenquan of the Qinglian Sect. It is popular in Sichuan and other provinces, especially in northern Sichuan. They once rebelled against the government's construction of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, occupying more than 30 counties including Weicheng and causing great suffering."
Zhang Fei said in shock: "I see!"
Gan Rong shook his head and said, "Compared to orthodox Taoism, what are they?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "In troubled times, the Taoists came out of the mountains to save the people, and in prosperous times, they returned to the mountains to save themselves. This is a praiseworthy and admirable act!"
Mr. Wu came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Looking at China's century-long history of suffering, only the Communist Party of China can save China..."
Everyone gathered together and listened carefully to Mr. Wu's teachings.
Chongqing, Office of the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Li Li reported, "Commander! Zheng Jie sent a telegram saying they've foiled the Central Bureau's plan to capture and kill Mr. Wu and Chu Ge in Anren Town. Now that they've figured out Xi's whereabouts, they're going to pose as Red Lantern members and launch an attack overnight."
Dai Nong shook his head and said, "Zheng Jie has failed repeatedly, and now he is pretending to be a gang. It seems that he can't complete the task at all."
Li Li laughed and said, "Commander! I think Assistant Zheng has gotten smarter this time. If we pretend to be a gang, no one will know it was our Military Control Commission who did it. A night attack will definitely achieve the effect of surprise."
Dai Nong nodded and said, "Alright! Let's just give it a try. It would be great if he could eliminate Mr. Wu and Xiang Chu. It's getting late, let's go to bed early."
"Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosions were heard from the direction of Loquat Mountain.
Li Li exclaimed in surprise, "Officer! It seems to be in the direction of Chunguang Tower."
Dai Nong said worriedly, "Could it be that our newly built ammunition depot exploded?"
Li Li shook her head and said, "Of course not! You just converted the treasure house in the back hill of Chunguang Tower into an ammunition depot, and few people know about it yet."
At this moment, the phone in the room rang.
Dai Nong answered the phone and angrily scolded:
"Tang Cong! What's wrong with you? You can't even take care of an ammunition depot."
Tang Cong cried and said, "Commander! There must be a traitor in the bureau."
Dainong angrily ordered: "Anyone who knows about the ammunition depot must be strictly investigated. Anyone who leaks information to Japanese spies will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Tang Cong hurriedly accepted the order.
Dai Nong put down the phone and said thoughtfully: "Thinking back over the years, whenever I targeted Xiang Chu, I would encounter unexpected events. Could it be that he is causing trouble for me? Such a person cannot be kept."
