Chapter 10 A Comprehensive Screening by Japanese Intelligence Agencies
Meanwhile, the complete annihilation of Itagaki Jun's detachment made Han Zhenhua realize that with the current combat strength of the National Revolutionary Army, it was impossible to defeat a Japanese division, but it was still possible to concentrate forces to attack a Japanese detachment or regiment. Therefore, his goal was: "To establish contact with the Military Intelligence Bureau and have the Nanjing garrison focus their attacks on the Marine Corps' Shigetō Detachment. It is still entirely possible to win another small victory!"
Anyone who plays mahjong or poker knows that there are wins and losses. Even if you lose a lot, it won't make you lose confidence. What's bad is when you just keep losing and sit there for two or three hours without winning a single hand. That's when you lose all hope and a lot of traitors and sellouts appear!
想到此处他不再犹豫，将手机AI的东西用从圣约翰大学化学实验室拿来的「隐型墨水」在一篇普普通通的报纸上写下了：11月30日起日军将兵分五路进攻，分别是第6师团..........沿金山卫南下，经.................；第16师团.........沿..............；第9师团沿................；第114师团............；海军陆战队长野支队自兴隆桥西侧推进，将于12月2日迂迴至南福山塘。
After writing it down, he knew he couldn't send the intelligence to the Military Intelligence Bureau now. It was only the 25th, and there were still five days until the 6th Division marched south on the 30th. If he sent it now, the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Ministry of National Defense, and the troops stationed in the capital would already be "sifted through by Japanese spies," and their intelligence systems would be leaking everywhere. In five days, the Japanese army would have plenty of time to change their original strategic plans, and what he sent would become "false intelligence." The trust he had worked so hard to build would crumble!
What I need to do is ensure that every piece of intelligence is true so that I can gradually gain the trust of the Military Intelligence Bureau and avoid missing opportunities at critical moments because my intelligence "needs to be verified". Trust between people is never built overnight; it is gradually established through repeated acts of trust.
Therefore, I only need to give the Military Intelligence Bureau a maximum of two days. It is impossible to adjust the battle deployment in a large-scale operation without seven or eight days!
In three days, even if the Japanese knew that the intelligence had been leaked, they didn't have time to make large-scale adjustments. After all, this wasn't the era where everyone had a mobile phone, and adjustments could be made simply by sending a message in a "work group." Even for the Japanese army, radios could only be equipped up to the "battalion" level.
Large-scale battles often involve "hundreds or thousands of battalions" going into action simultaneously, and it's impossible to make significant adjustments in just three days!
Therefore, the most "scientific" approach is to send out your own intelligence around the 26th!
Shanghai, this oriental metropolis that has been battered by war, has now had every inch of its land trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese army.
Although the first phase of the battle has ended, the shadow of war still hangs heavily over the city, and a sense of oppression and fear permeates the entire city.
In Shanghai under Japanese control, the Special Higher Police, the Mei Agency, the consulate, and the military police were like wolves lurking in the darkness, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on every possible target.
All of this stemmed from the complete annihilation of the Japanese Itagaki Detachment in the Battle of Quan Gong Ting. The leaked top-secret intelligence was like a sharp thorn in the hearts of the Japanese high command, making them furious and determined to find the leaker.
Inside the basement of the Shanghai Special Higher Police Department in Hongkou District, Shanghai, the dim light bulbs crackled in the humid air.
Colonel Yoshimoto Naritada, the head of the Special Higher Police Section, a ruthless and extremely arrogant Japanese spy, was sitting in the Special Higher Police Section's dark office, his brow furrowed, with piles of various investigation documents in front of him.
He was well aware of the difficulty and importance of this mission, and that if he could not find the leaker, his future would be in jeopardy.
"Guards!" Colonel Yoshimoto Narita slammed his fist on the table and roared.
A Japanese military policeman rushed in, stood at attention, and saluted: "Colonel!"
"Bring me the complete list of all personnel who have had access to the Itagaki Detachment's intelligence; I need to re-examine it!" Colonel Yoshimoto Narita said menacingly.
Soon, a thick list was presented to him. Colonel Yoshimoto Narita's gaze was like a cold blade, sweeping across the names on the list line by line; each one seemed like a potential suspect.
The first person brought to the interrogation room was an ordinary document clerk from the Japanese consulate named Yamamoto Ichiro.
He was pale and trembling, being escorted by two military policemen, and almost collapsed to the ground.
Colonel Yoshimoto Naritada sat behind the interrogation table, coldly looking at him: "Yamamoto Ichiro, do you know why you were called here?"
Yamamoto Ichiro shook his head frantically, his voice trembling with tears: "Colonel, I really don't know! I was only in charge of receiving and sending documents; I've never leaked any information!"
Colonel Yoshimoto Naritada sneered: "Hmph, still stubborn. Don't think you can get away with this by not talking. Of course, I know your Yamamoto family is a noble family of the Great Japanese Empire. Don't worry, we won't torture you; we wouldn't be able to explain that to General Yamamoto!"
But did you know that the Imperial Kyoto University School of Medicine has recently developed a drug called Scopolamine?
It's possible to make someone confess the truth in a state of mental confusion. You'd better confess yourself. For the sake of General Yamamoto, we won't do anything to you!
If it weren't explained, this drug had just been successfully developed, and although it had been tested on real people in the Manchukuo Water-Drawing Corps, there was still a high chance that it would directly turn people into idiots!
You need to think this through!
"Colonel, as you know, our Yamamoto family is a noble family, and I am not short of money. How could I possibly be bribed by that Chinese pig and betray the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor? Although I have handled and read the intelligence!"
But I swear on my family's name, I absolutely did not leak it!
"Oh my god!!! Yamamoto-kun!!! Please don't blame me. I was just following orders. I'm not targeting anyone personally. If Yamamoto-kun really isn't a mole, I'll kneel down and apologize to him myself. I'm so sorry!"
After saying this, he bowed deeply and then said, "Someone, give me the 'scopolamine' No. 1 psychotropic drug!"
This so-called "scopolamine" drug can interfere with a person's nervous system, causing them to tell the truth while in a semi-comatose state.
The drug was forcibly injected into Yamamoto Ichiro's body, and his eyes instantly became glazed over, his body convulsing uncontrollably.
Under the influence of the drug and with the seductive prompting of the white-clad agent, Yamamoto Ichiro began to ramble incoherently about everyday trivia, but he didn't mention a word about the crucial information about the leaked intelligence.
Colonel Yoshimoto Naritada was unwilling to give up, so he increased the dosage of the medicine. Yamamoto Ichiro's face grew paler and paler, and he almost fainted, but he still did not vomit anything useful.
