Lost and Spy

Chapter 539
Tian Qi put down the newspaper and stretched his waist.

Outside, snowflakes are falling.

I have been in Nanjing for so many days, and I have nothing to do. I just read newspapers, drink tea, and chat with Sakurai Gongpu all day long.

All I read are Japanese newspapers.

Originally, Tian Qi learned Japanese and English from Miao Chengfang, so he could barely talk.

However, now he reads Japanese newspapers all day long, and asks Sakurai Koura or other Japanese people for advice when he encounters something he doesn't understand, which has greatly improved his Japanese level.

Well, when will I have a good time to improve my English.

"Tian Sang." Sakurai Koura walked in excitedly.

"What kind of happy event did you meet, Sakurai-kun?"

"Of course it's a happy event." Sakurai Gongpu said excitedly: "My good friend Watanabe Shikiyoshi came to Nanjing from the front line, and I haven't seen him for a long time. Now he is reporting work. At night, I He will be invited to a banquet. Tian Sang, come with me."

Tian Qi originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that he had returned from the front line, he immediately agreed without thinking.

……

Watanabe is under the jurisdiction of Qing and Shao Zuo, and is mainly responsible for logistics supplies on the front line.

The relationship between him and Sakurai Gongpu is very close, and he has probably heard the story between Tian Qi and Sakurai Gongpu, so his attitude towards this Chinese is not bad.

"Watanabe-kun, how is the battle on the front line going?" After drinking for three rounds, Sakurai Gongpu still asked what he wanted to know the most.

"It didn't go very well." Watanabe Shiqing didn't hide anything: "After the Chinese people experienced the battles of Shanghai and Nanjing, their determination to resist was still very tenacious. Our 13th Division was in a stalemate with the enemy in the Huaihe River, but was defeated by the Chinese. The tenacious resistance of the 51st and 59th armies."

Sakurai Koura nodded.

I originally thought that if the Chinese capital Nanjing was lost, the morale of the Chinese army would be low and the defeat of China would be imminent.

But I never expected that the Chinese army still maintained high morale.Moreover, the troops on the front line are constantly increasing, and I heard that the Yunnan Army in Yunnan is also urgently moving closer to Xuzhou.

"This time, I am here to collect food." Watanabe Shikiyo said immediately: "We have decided to start collecting food in Changzhou, Changshu, Wuxi, Kunshan and other places, and we still need the strong cooperation of Sakurai-kun."

"Ah, even if you are not my friend, as an imperial soldier, this is my job." Sakurai Gongpu asked immediately: "How much food will be collected?"

Watanabe took a sip of wine: "We must ensure [-] catties of polished rice, [-] catties of refined wheat, and [-] catties of fresh meat every day..."

"So much?" Sakurai Gongpu gasped.

"Yes, and it takes at least three days to transport it to the battlefield." Watanabe Shiqing looked a little serious: "For this reason, the General Staff Headquarters specially set up a rice grain control committee, and considered the task of grain requisition. Mitsui Property Management Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation will be responsible."

So much food?

Tian Qi was drinking wine casually, but the conversation between the two Japanese fell into his ears clearly.

"Tian Qi, you have to keep in mind... As a lurker, you can't always think about obtaining an important piece of information quickly. Where is the source of our information? It's not something to open a safe, but steal a piece of information .Every word and every word that everyone said, you must firmly remember and analyze it in your mind."

This is how Miao Chengfang taught Tian Qi, a student.

Now, you can analyze it carefully.

A Japanese soldier’s daily food standard is 660 grams of polished rice, 210 grams of refined wheat, 210 grams of fresh meat, 600 grams of vegetables... 0.08 liters of soy sauce, 5 grams of salt, 20 grams of sugar, 3 grams of tea leaves, 0.4 liters of sake... 20 cigarettes ...

The food standards of the Japanese army were very high. Every meal was eaten with rice, and even the seasonings were regulated.

Then, [-] catties of polished rice every day...

Almost [-] Japanese troops will be supplied.

Set up a special grain requisition committee?
The front-line Japanese army already had special supply units.

There is only one possibility:
The Japanese army is going to increase its troops!
The strength of two divisions!
And it is the main division of the Japanese army!
At present, the Japanese army has concentrated 5 divisions, 2 brigades, and 2 detachments on the front line!
In other words, the Japanese army still feels that its troops are insufficient, and it will continue to increase the strength of at least two divisions!

At least three days' worth must be ensured for each shipment.

The Japanese army is preparing for a big battle!
In addition, most of the Japanese army's food was supplied by Taiwan and North Korea. Now, as the war continues, they have begun to set their sights on the new occupied areas!

Sakurai Gongpu and Watanabe Shiqing would never have imagined that they were casually chatting about the seemingly ordinary food collection, but the most precious information was keenly captured by the Chinese beside them.

Even Tian Qi has already calculated how much the Japanese army is going to increase its troops!
"Major Watanabe." Tian Qi raised the wine cup: "I always heard Shao Zuo Sakurai say that you are his good friend, and I respect you."

"Ah, thank you, Tian Sang." Watanabe Shiqing drank a cup: "I often hear Sakurai-kun mentioning you in his letters, and you are even his savior and the whole secret service team."

"That's what I should do." Tian Qi smiled lightly: "It is my duty to serve the Great Japanese Empire. In terms of food collection, I will also do my best to assist Major Watanabe. But if the journey is far away, I am very worried would be attacked by Chinese guerrillas."

"Yes, that's why the military has set up an escort team to deal with the Chinese guerrillas." Watanabe nodded his head: "My task is to ensure that food can be safely transported from Jiangsu to Shandong."

Shandong?

Tian Qi immediately put on a look of incomprehension: "Jiangsu is a province with a large output, but Shandong is not bad either."

"Shandong, there are too many Chinese armies, and it is not easy to collect food." When it came to this, Watanabe Shiqing explained carefully: "Jiangsu, many places are known as the land of fish and rice, and we have basically controlled Jiangsu..."

The Japanese are launching a fierce attack on AH.

Shandong now?

Two divisions?

North and South attack!

Tian Qi suddenly figured it out.

The Japanese army is preparing to launch an offensive in southern Lunan, launching a north-south pincer attack on the national army's defense line at the same time!

For the Japanese army, there is no concept of who is dominant in combat.Then, the Japanese troops on both the north and south fronts were the main attackers.

The pressure on the national defense line will be greatly increased!

A top-secret military intelligence was unexpectedly uncovered by Tian Qi at a simple private banquet!

There is no need to see any intelligence, just relying on the dialogue between two Japanese military officers.

Intelligence work does not have to go deep into the tiger's den every time, and it has to be thrilling every time.Put each piece together and a complete pattern emerges!

And Tian Qi is gradually entering the role at this moment...

……

Tian Qi walked alone on the streets of Nanjing.

Nanjing, which has just been devastated, has regained a little bit of vitality with the arrival of the New Year.

It began to snow on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Nanjing people who are suffering are still preparing for the upcoming Spring Festival.Although the environment is very dangerous, people are still full of expectations for the Spring Festival.

There are also some New Year's goods on the street, but the price is ridiculously expensive, and it is no longer affordable for ordinary people.

With the sound of sporadic firecrackers, New Year's Eve finally ushered in, but for the Chinese people in Nanjing, this year is very scary, especially the young girls are always in danger, and the Japanese are robbing people everywhere at night .

Amidst the anticipation and apprehension, the people of Nanjing completed the New Year's Eve and ushered in the new year.

On the first day of the new year, people began to set off firecrackers desperately, which formed a sharp contrast with the sporadic New Year's Eve.

Firecrackers play the role of exorcising ghosts in the definition of the Chinese New Year. People hope that by setting off firecrackers, they can get enough food and clothing for the coming year, and the whole family will be happy, so that they don't have to live in fear anymore.

In particular, it can get rid of those "evil spirits" that have harmed Nanjing!
People no longer say "Gong Xi Fa Cai" or "Auspicious Wishes" when they meet each other, but simply say "Happy New Year", which contains the greatest expectations.

Ma Xiangxing.

This was a high-end restaurant in Nanjing in the past, but now it's gone, so how can it still look like it did back then?

Thinking of the time when the brothers happily drank and ate meat in Ma Xiangxing, Tian Qi felt sore.

The wall on the left, the eighth row from the top, and the third brick from the left.

Tian Qi looked to the side to make sure no one was there.

He pried open the brick and put a ball of paper inside.

Then when he was done, he stuffed the brick back, and immediately hid aside.

This is the ninth point of contact.

Every day, intelligence agents will check here.

There is no need to worry that the information will fall into the hands of the Japanese. Even if the information is sent to the Japanese now, the Japanese will not know what is written on it.

There are still 15 minutes before the fixed daily intelligence gathering time...

……

Lao Biao looked to both sides, pulled out the brick, his eyes lit up.

It has been more than two months, and as a surviving senior intelligence officer, this is the first time he has found information here...

……

It's Lao Biao.

Lao Biao was the squadron leader at the beginning, but now he is an intelligence officer?

Tian Qi saw it clearly, Lao Biao is still trustworthy, he can rest assured...

……

A triangle is drawn on the intelligence.

Highest priority top secret information!

Lao Biao didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately moved the bed, pried open the floor below, and took out a radio from inside.

By the way, he took out his pistol and put it aside.

It will be exposed at any time, but the information with the triangle drawn must be sent out as soon as possible.

Even if you sacrifice your life for it!

……

"Assistant Wu, contact NO.19, the intelligence agent!"

"what?"

Wu Jingyi immediately came to the telegram: "Accept it immediately!"

There have been no intelligence agents for a long time, and electricity has been generated from Nanjing.

There must be important information.

"8...9, 15..."

No one understood what the numbers meant.

"Okay, give it to me." Wu Jingyi took the telegram.

Only Director Meng knows the true meaning of these numbers!
……

Lao Biao let out a long sigh of relief.

He stuffed the note into his mouth, then chewed it up and swallowed it forcefully...

……

"Director Meng, top-secret information on place No. 19!"

"give it to me!"
