Lost and Spy

Chapter 1358 Investigation Representative
Matsui Yuya is dead.

His death did not cause much disturbance, all his colleagues only expressed symbolic sorrow and anger.

symbolic.

After all, they didn't have any good impression of this "Yuya Yuyama".

Arrogant, arrogant, and contemptuous of colleagues.

This kind of person is dead.

Except for Kagesa Haruaki.

He couldn't imagine that Tomoya Matsui was dead.

That was the beloved nephew of his close comrade-in-arms Matsui Iwane.

When Matsui Iwane returned to China, he specially arranged for his nephew to Shanghai, in order to ask him to take care of him.

It's over now.

Kagezuo Zhenzhao knew very well that with Matsui Iwane's personality, he would never give up so easily.

The friendship between them will be greatly impacted.

Sure enough, Matsui Iwane did not express any dissatisfaction with his nephew's death in public.

However, a special fund of 50 yen, which had been approved, suddenly went wrong.

As for where the problem lies?

It's not mentioned above either.

Kagezuo Haraaki didn't press the question either.

Because he knew too well that Matsui Iwane must have used his influence to retaliate against Shanghai and himself.

Without the support of Matsui Iwane, I am afraid it will be very difficult in the future.

This is what troubled Kagezuo Shakiaki the most.

But in a short period of time, he has no solution at all.

He could only watch helplessly as this happened.

And what made him most helpless was the helplessness shown by his colleagues in Shanghai regarding Matsui Tomoya's death.

However, he couldn't put his mind on it right now.

The plenipotentiary investigation representative of Sonobe and Ichiro, commander of the Imperial 11th Army, has arrived in Shanghai.

As the successor of the former commander Neiji Okamura, Sonobe and Ichiro immediately organized the attack on Yichang after taking office.

The 11th Army is a super-large field army with 23 soldiers, equipped with aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles, mountain guns, field guns and other heavy weapons. It is the proud son of the Japanese invaders.

Although Yichang was occupied this time, the military deployment and distribution of troops of the 11th Army were leaked ahead of time and were controlled by the national army, causing the 11th Army to suffer undue casualties.

According to the testimony of a National Army intelligence analysis officer who was captured afterwards, the intelligence they obtained from the 11th Army came from Shanghai.

absurd.

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao felt that it was ridiculous to the extreme.

Your 11th Army is in Yichang. If the information leaked, you don’t find the reason yourself, but you go all the way to Shanghai to inquire about the crime?
What's the point of this?
But Ying Sazhenaki also knew that this was a method that Japanese military officers had always been accustomed to using.

Pass the buck to others.

The 11th Army, in particular, always likes to do this.

The attack on Changsha failed, and Commander Neiji Okamura tried to shirk his responsibilities in various ways, such as unfavorable intelligence work, Chinese spies everywhere, incomplete cooperation support system, and so on.

In short, the credit is all your own, and the responsibility is all others.

His successor, Lieutenant General Sonobe and Ichiro, went even further.

Although the battle of Yichang was victorious, Japan fought terribly and suffered too many casualties, so they went to Shanghai to find a scapegoat?

And also sent two heavyweights:

Major General Yoshimo Daigo, Chief of the Intelligence Section of the 11th Army of Japan, and Ogawa Jipei, Director of the Counterintelligence Department!
The counterintelligence department of the Japanese army is not obvious, but it plays a great role in the war.

The anti-intelligence work of the Japanese army made it extremely difficult for Guogong to spy on the Japanese army's intelligence.

The Anti-Japanese War has progressed to the present, whether it is the Nationalist Party or the Workers and Peasants Party, they do not fully understand the designations, divisions, and independent brigade commanders of the Japanese army at all levels, and the combat areas.

There may even be accidents that should have appeared on the Central China battlefield, but caused the number "55D" on the North China battlefield.

In the list of Japanese commanders at all levels held by both parties, 36.59% of the names and positions can be matched, 34.15% are not at all, and 17.07% of the names are correct but the error of inauguration is more than one year. , the time error is more than two years accounted for 12.29%.

People who don't understand the situation will say that since the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, even the commanders of the Japanese army have been so wrong. How embarrassing is it?
But this is the strength of the Japanese counterintelligence department.

This also proves from another aspect how important it is to have a piece of intelligence with the complete combat order of the Japanese army and a list of commanders at all levels!
Just like the information on the Japanese army's combat sequence provided by Tai Shiwei to Meng Shaoyuan, it is simply a treasure.

Major General Yoshimo Daigo and Colonel Ogawa Jipei have served in the army for a long time. They are a perfect pair of partners. They not only cooperate extremely tacitly at work, but also a pair of friends in life.

This time, Sonobe and Ichiro sent two people to Shanghai at once, which also shows how much he attaches importance to information leakage.

Although Kagesa Haraaki was dissatisfied, he was not particularly worried.

This so-called investigation is nothing more than a formality.

Investigations come and go, and there will be no results at all.

But at least you can express your attitude to the above, how much you attach importance to this, and send out the two giants in person.

In the future, if there is another information leakage incident, it will have nothing to do with me.

Kagesa Haruaki personally received Major General Yoshimo Daigo and Ogawa Jipei.

Jimo Daigo didn't talk much, and the communication was basically done by Ogawa Jipei.

And it can be seen that Yoshimo Daigo trusts his companions very much, and he never interrupts Ogawa Jihei's communication.

Even when Kagesa Haraaki asked him, Jimo Daigo always said:
"Please listen to Ogawa-kun's opinion."

It was as if the two were not related to each other at all.

After the routine questions were asked, Daigo Jimo finally asked for a meeting with the main spy leaders at all levels of the Japanese intelligence agency stationed in Shanghai.

"What about No. 76 and the Intelligence Headquarters, do you want to have an interview?" Kagezuo Yoshiaki asked.

"No need." Ogawa Jiping rejected such a suggestion: "We are not interested in Chinese spies, and this is not under our jurisdiction. Whether they have Chinese spies lurking in them is the responsibility of Shanghai. We are only responsible for ours. People are interested. And we don’t want too many people to know that we are in Shanghai.”

Secret service leaders at all levels, including Habara Koichi, Kawamoto Kojiro, Nagashima Hiroshi and others, were summoned by them.

Jimo Daigo did not reveal his true identity, but as an investigator, he asked Ogawa Cipei to have a three-hour conversation with them.

"There is no suspicious person." This is what Ogawa Jihei told Kagesa Haruaki after the meeting: "However, I found that the person named Habara Koichi is very capable. I suggest that the chief of the agency focus on training."

"Ah, yes."

Kagesa Haraaki was also a little surprised, could he discover the strengths of Habara Koichi with just a simple conversation?

Moreover, during the conversation, they didn't see any special emphasis on Habara Koichi.
