Lost and Spy

Chapter 717
No matter what the situation of the Xuzhou battlefield was like, or whether the Japanese mainland was bombed, this did not affect Habara Koichi in the slightest.

His attention was all focused on the large amount of information Bannai Kangying provided him.

These materials are the main intelligence work of Japan in China in the past five years.It filled almost half of the room.

Moreover, there is a steady stream of information sent.

Habara Koichi seldom left during the day after obtaining these materials.

His board and lodging are all in the office.

Even, there are even more excessive ones.

His office is only a dozen steps away from the bathroom, but Habara Hikaru is not willing to delay even these ten steps.

He had someone find a toilet for himself, and he solved his personal physical problems in this office.

Eating, drinking and drinking are all in one place, and the environment can be imagined.

Habara Koichi didn't care at all.

He also eats very simple, almost every meal is rice balls.

Rice balls are the most convenient, you can eat them with your hands.

Again, this saves time.

It seems that Meng Shaoyuan was not in Shanghai during this period, and the Japanese intelligence department in Shanghai lost a strong enemy for the time being.

Habara Koichi would never allow himself to waste such a good opportunity.

The most outrageous thing is that a few days ago, someone reported to him that his brother was in a car accident and was in the hospital, and asked him if he wanted to see it.

Habara Koichi flatly refused.

"It's too unkind." After hearing the news, even Bannai Kangying couldn't help but shook his head: "I heard that their brothers have been very close since childhood, so why don't you go and see if your brother is injured and hospitalized?" ?”

I can't delay this time, this is what Habara Koichi told himself.

My brother was only wounded and hospitalized, not dead.

However, if the Chinese spies are not dug up for one day, the empire will suffer one more day of losses, and more people will die.

"Habara-kun."

Someone opened the door and walked in.

"what's up."

Hikaru Habara didn't raise his head.

"Major Habara Koichi!" The man's tone suddenly became severe: "In the name of your superior, I order you to put down the documents in your hand and rest for a while!"

"Ah, it's Your Excellency the General!"

Only then did Habara Koichi realize that it was General Itanei Yasuhide who came in, so he quickly put down the documents in his hand and stood up.

Bannai Kangying couldn't believe it.

Standing in front of him is Habara Koichi?

It's only been a few days, how did it become like this?
His face was khaki from malnutrition, his eyes were sunken and bloodshot, his beard was sloppy, and his lips were even a little purple.

The clothes hadn't been changed for an unknown number of days, and there were stains everywhere, and a few grains of mira stuck there.

Where is this young man, the high-spirited young major?

"Habara-kun, how long have you been here?"

"I do not remember."

"You've been here all this time?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, you have always been here."

"Are you going to die?"

"Your Excellency, my health is fine."

"Come here, sit down. Don't move, I'll come."

Bannai Yasuhide packed up the documents on the sofa and forced Habara Koichi to sit down there.

Then, he personally helped change the cold water, brewed a pot of tea and put it in Habara Koichi's hands.

"Your Excellency, what is this..."

"You have to rest. You have worked so hard for the empire. It is my duty to take good care of you." Bannai Kangying looked in the room, except for this single sofa and the chair Habara Hikichi sat on, there were no other stools.

He simply sat on the ground.

"Your Excellency, this is not allowed under any circumstances..."

"You sit down, Major Habara Koichi, this is an order!" Itanei Yasuhiro's tone was indistinguishable: "You are the hero of the empire, from now on, it is my responsibility to take good care of you!"

"Your Excellency, I am not a hero of the empire." Habara Koichi smiled wryly: "I said that we are far inferior to Meng Shaoyuan. We don't have his talent and brains, but at least we still have hard work. If he If we work ten hours, then we should work eighteen hours, twenty hours, and only in this way can we bridge the gap between us."

"What I admire most about you is not your diligence." Bannai Kangying stared at him: "It's your frankness. You are willing to admit that we are not as good as the Chinese, and you know how to close this gap. If the empire Every intelligence officer in China is like you, I believe that even Meng Shaoyuan is nothing to be afraid of, after all, there is only one Meng Shaoyuan in China!"

It's a pity, at least for now, there is only one Habara Koichi in Shanghai!

Bannai Yasuhide calmed down: "Habara-kun, I have good news for you. The invincible imperial army has already occupied Xuzhou!"

Habara Koichi didn't seem particularly excited: "Ah, is it? But for Xuzhou, we have paid too heavy a price."

"Don't say such things lightly in the future." Bannai Kangying specially reminded him: "Our casualties are indeed very heavy, which also makes the army lose face. Of course, the soldiers are also very frustrated and even angry. In the morning, I got a diary written by a soldier on our front line, you can read this paragraph..."

Habara Koichi took the diary.

Since the railway had been cut off by the Japanese army, and some seriously wounded who were about to retreat on the railway could not move and could not be taken away, the national army had to keep them.

At that time, the national army still left a few medical soldiers, hoping that Japan could treat the wounded well in accordance with the Geneva Treaty.

And this paragraph is the record of what happened after the Japanese army occupied Xuzhou Station:
"...we stepped into the next car. That car was full of moaning, moaning and fear, and it was full of wounded soldiers of the enemy.

'Kill them! 'I don't know who called it like that.Just as it is natural for a wolf to kill a lamb, we ruthlessly stabbed them to death regardless of their grievances, hatred and curses.

Now is the time of war, and what we should do is not to pet their heads, but to beat them mercilessly on the head until they are smashed to pieces.All we have to do is return the hatred and vengeance to the enemy.

There were several sections of the wounded's carriage, none of which escaped the same fate.The sweep of the parking lot was over, we thought we would be stationed, but instead gave the order to pursue.

Expectations were dashed, fatigue increased, and we were all downcast because of the unexpected.

But we must obey orders, we put on our backpacks again..."

"These soldiers really shouldn't be doing this." Habara Koichi sighed, closed the diary and handed it back to Itauchi Koei:

"The war is not going well, and it is understandable for the soldiers to be angry. But don't they know that the crazy massacre will only inspire the enemy's soldiers to resist to the end in future wars?

What happened in Nanjing has already made the empire very passive in diplomacy. What we need to do now is to restore our image, advance with force and diplomacy, and win international support, or at least ignore it.

To conquer such a large country, bayonets alone are not enough, but also candies, biscuits, smiles, and songs. Massacres will only arouse resistance, and smiles and songs can make the enemy relax! "

"It's a pity, those people in the military department won't listen to these words." Bannei Kangying felt a little helpless: "In their view, bayonets and blood are the only way to solve the problem!"

Habara Koichi didn't know what to say.

The war brought about by cannons, tanks and aircraft is only the first step. The important thing is not how much land is occupied, but how to completely conquer this land.

Otherwise, even if the Chinese government is really defeated and Japan occupies all of China's land, it will not be safe.

The high-pressure policy will only make the resistance in the occupied areas more and more intense.

"One more thing." Bannai Yasuhide said immediately: "The Japanese mainland was bombed yesterday."

"Oh."

Habara Koichi just said such a word.

"Habara-kun, don't you feel shocked? Our homeland has been bombed by the Chinese!"

"I'm not surprised at all." Habara Koichi said calmly: "We bombed the land of the Chinese people, why can't the Chinese people bomb our land? The Chinese air force was hit hard, but only heavy damage, not destruction. China The air force still has the ability to take off, and this can be regarded as a good lesson for those arrogant imperial soldiers!"

"Habara-kun, these remarks of yours are likely to be convicted of treason." Bannai Kangying shook his head: "One more thing, the China Air Force took off from Ningbo, and before that, a man named 'Habara Koichi' Major, killed Yuan Gu Zhengkang, our chief in Ningbo, and our 'friend,' He Donghu!"

"Meng Shaoyuan!"

Habara Koichi blurted out almost without thinking, "This me must be Meng Shaoyuan!"

He seemed to be smiling when he said this.

"Yeah, I guess it's him too, but don't you feel angry?"

"Angry? Why should I be angry?"

Hahara Koichi really laughed there: "I feel very honored that my name can be used by Meng Shaoyuan. Moreover, this can also confirm that Meng Shaoyuan is not currently in Shanghai. Ah, this is great, we will save a lot of trouble, I You can also find out who the traitor is from these documents more attentively, isn't that a good thing?"

"After so many days, you ask me, is there any important discovery in the documents I brought?"

Habara Koichi was silent for a while before he said: "Yes, I found some interesting things. I have a name in my heart temporarily, but I still need more conclusive evidence. Before that, General, you can Do something for me?"

"Of course, Habara-kun, who is this suspect?"

"I can't tell you yet." Habara Koichi seemed confident: "But he has almost surfaced, and I believe that he is not alone, and he has at least one accomplice."

Having said that, he especially emphasized his tone:

"This accomplice of his still holds considerable weight within us!"
