Chapter 14 The Boss Won't Forget Your Great Contribution
"Quickly, Jiang He, no... Deputy Station Chief Shen, you go yourself and immediately send a telegram to headquarters with this intelligence!" Station Chief Zhao Lijun finally decided.
Originally, this task should have been done by Chen Jianghe, the head of the intelligence team, but Zhao Lijun remembered the last paragraph of the Crow Intelligence and knew that it was obviously inappropriate to let him, the person in charge, do this task. In the end, he changed his mind and asked Shen Zui to do it himself!
Thinking of this, Zhao Lijun could only pat Chen Jianghe on the shoulder helplessly and comfort him, "Jianghe, if... sigh! Everything should be for the greater good!"
"Now that Shanghai has completely fallen, it will be safer to go to the rear. I think the boss won't forget your great contribution. You'll have a better position there!"
Everyone knew that if the intelligence was confirmed, Chen Jianghe, who had only been the head of the intelligence department for a little over ten days, would almost certainly be transferred to the rear!
Wang Tianmu also stepped forward and patted Chen Jianghe on the shoulder, but didn't say anything!
However, Fu Jingnian, the action team leader, also looked displeased and said, "What's wrong with this crow? Does it really think our Shanghai station will be wiped out by the Japanese? Does it have so little confidence in us?"
No. 19 Luojiawan, Shancheng, the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau!
Despite it being late at night, the massive institution known as the "Hall of Yama" remained brightly lit. The ticking of the radio, the hurried footsteps of the staff, and the faint whispers of conversation created a tense and oppressive nocturne.
Inside the director's office, Dai Chunfeng was rubbing his throbbing temples as he reviewed a massive amount of intelligence sent from various stations and teams.
Although the Battle of Shanghai had come to an end, the subsequent espionage, infiltration, and counter-infiltration efforts intensified, leaving him no room for complacency. The joy brought by the victory at Quan Gongting had long been replaced by immense pressure and deeper anxieties.
"Knock, knock, knock!" A rapid but restrained knocking sounded on the door.
"Come in." Dai Chunfeng said without even looking up.
Mao Qi practically pushed the door open as he entered. Although his face remained calm, the joy in his eyes was hard to conceal. He was tightly clutching a newly translated telegram in his hand, his fingers turning slightly white from the force.
"Director! Urgent telegram from Zhao Lijun of Shanghai Station! Top Secret! It's 'Crow'! He's finally shown up!" Mao Qiwu's voice trembled slightly.
Dai Chunfeng suddenly raised his head, his gaze sharp as lightning: "Speak!"
"The crow contacted the Shanghai station directly by phone in an untraceable way, leaving behind new information."
"The Shanghai station just risked their lives to retrieve and send this! It contains a comprehensive plan for the Japanese army's five-pronged attack!" Mao Qi presented the telegram with both hands, speaking rapidly, "Five armies! Numbers, commanders, attack routes, estimated timelines... It's terrifyingly detailed! It's higher level than any of our inside contacts could access! It's practically... practically like an original Japanese battle plan!"
Dai Chunfeng snatched the telegram, his gaze sweeping over it rapidly. The more he read, the more grave his expression became, his pupils suddenly contracting. Every word on the telegram struck his heart like a heavy hammer.
「第6师团..............…金山卫.............第16师团.....................常熟.............第114师团.................吉野支队...........12月2日..............南福山塘迂迴..........」
He whispered a few key pieces of information, and the air in the office seemed to freeze.
"Has it been verified?" Dai Chunfeng suddenly looked up, his eyes sharp as knives, staring directly at Mao Qi.
Even with the precedent of Jinshanwei, his naturally suspicious nature compelled him to verify the reliability of such crucial intelligence immediately.
"This intelligence is much later than the last intelligence sent by the crow. The deployment of the five armies has been fully verified. In the next move of the Japanese army, the 6th Division of Kokoro and the 16th Division of Shigeo Imako have completely followed the intelligence route and moved south from Jinshanwei to the next location clearly specified in the intelligence!"
The unverified information concerns the movements of the 114th Division and the Yoshino Detachment. Ironically, the most valuable part of this military intelligence is precisely these two unverified sections, especially the Yoshino Detachment's arrival at Nanfushantang on the 29th. This suggests that, like the previous intelligence delivered by the crow, this intelligence is at least 70% likely to be true.
"If this intelligence is true again, just like last time, our Military Intelligence Bureau will have made another great contribution, and our army may even be able to win another great victory at Quangongting. In that case, Director, I'm afraid you'll have to drop the title of Deputy!" Mao Qiwu replied immediately.
Dai Chunfeng fell silent, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table, making a "tap, tap" sound.
"Time... We'll start on the 30th... Today is the 30th!" Dai Chunfeng took a deep breath, a huge sense of crisis intertwined with a hint of barely perceptible excitement in his heart.
If this intelligence is true, it will be another great achievement after Quan Gongting, or even greater. Just as Mao Qi said, the "deputy" title of his deputy director position may really have to be removed!
"Director, what should we do? Time is of the essence! Should we report this immediately?" Mao Qi asked anxiously.
"Report! We must report it immediately!" Dai Chunfeng made a decision instantly, his eyes becoming extremely firm as he continued, "Immediately notify the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Chairman's Office. It's extremely urgent; it must be delivered to the Principal within half an hour!"
In addition, immediately call back to Shanghai Station and do everything possible to ensure the safety of the crows. The Bird's Nest should be immediately withdrawn to Chongqing!
Well, promote him from major to lieutenant colonel. After he returns and establishes the top-secret file on Crow, let him take up a post at the newly built Zhazidong Prison. This will be a recognition of his work!
Shen Zui will be fully responsible for contacting Crow. Tell Shen Zui that if he dares to let Crow make even the slightest mistake, I will hold him accountable!
The confidential secretary dared not delay and turned to run out, but Dai Chunfeng added, "Wait! Have the Telecommunications Department closely monitor all radio signals from the direction of Shanghai. Report any abnormalities related to crows to me immediately!" The atmosphere in the office instantly became tense.
Mountain city, Huangshan Mountain, Yunxiu Tower, the highest combat command center of the Ministry of Military Affairs!
"Damn it! This is great! Yu Nong really didn't disappoint me. Everyone, take a look! Yu Nong actually got hold of the Japanese army's complete five-pronged attack plan. Tell me, with this plan, can we hold Nanjing?"
At this time, apart from Chief of the General Staff He Yingqin, who was the first on the left, the personnel in the Supreme Operations Command Center were all different from those in the Presidential Palace in Nanjing!
After everyone had read the intelligence, He Yingqin was the first to speak without hesitation: "I really didn't expect that the Military Intelligence Bureau would get such detailed intelligence again. Could it be that the Military Intelligence Bureau has successfully infiltrated important confidential positions in the Japanese Army Headquarters?"
"Chairman, regarding this intelligence, I believe our army can make full use of it and replicate the tactics of the Quan Gongting Victory once again, focusing on launching another annihilation battle against the Japanese Marine Corps Yoshino Detachment. Time is of the essence. It's a pity that Jian Sheng flew directly to Huaihai two days ago to assist De Gong (Li Zongren) in deploying the relevant battles for the Xuzhou Campaign. Otherwise, with his precise grasp of tactics, he would certainly have been able to finalize the entire operational plan as quickly as possible!"
When the principal heard that Bai Chongxi had gone to Xuzhou, his expression unconsciously darkened!
