Tang Cheng looked depressed on the surface, but actually he was already happy in his heart. As long as he could smuggle goods back from Myanmar under the banner of military command, his plan would be half successful. A week later, Ma Ye, who had not long returned to Chongqing from Kunming, took a few apprentices and went to Kunming again with the people from Daisicheng. This time, Mr. Ma and the others were no longer ordinary traders traveling around, but a caravan from Chongqing Runhe Trading Company, and Dai Sicheng, the manager of the trading bank, was also among them.
"Tell me the truth, kid, do you have other ideas?" After the caravan left Chongqing, Zhang Jianghe felt more and more like a fox that had stolen the chicken in Tangcheng. Zhang Jianghe was very bored after seeing it. Tang Cheng immediately changed his innocent look after hearing this. He must not tell Zhang Jianghe what he was planning at this time, lest Zhang Jianghe would have unintended consequences that would cause the plan to go awry.
If Tang Cheng didn't say anything, Zhang Jianghe couldn't continue to press, but he really couldn't watch Tang Cheng idle like a waste waiting to die every day, so he took the initiative to tell Tang Cheng that Chongqing Station had received a message. "Don't say I didn't warn you, this Takada is not easy to deal with. It is said that when this Takada was in Tianjin, he not only cracked the contact point of the Intelligence Department, but even the difficult underground party in Tianjin suffered heavy losses at his hands. "When Zhang Jianghe talked about the Tianjin underground party, although he concealed it very well, Tang Cheng still saw the change in his expression.
The news that Zhang Jianghe handed over to Tangcheng was about a special high-tech special agent named Takada Takenan. According to the telegram from the military command headquarters, this guy named Takada Takenan will arrive in Chongqing in the near future. "Takada Takenan came to Chongqing, most likely with a secret mission. I guess it is related to our continuous arrest operations some time ago." Zhang Jianghe's inference sounded nothing new, and Tang Cheng secretly curled his lips and shook his head.
"I think this Takada might have come to Chongqing to join forces!" Tang Cheng's inference sounded very bold, and it immediately aroused Zhang Jianghe's interest. At Zhang Jianghe's signal, Tang Cheng continued. "Although our operations have captured a lot of Japanese spies, they are all Japanese, and the traitors in the city have not been exposed very much. The Japanese have worked hard to develop them as informants, how can they ignore it? According to my opinion on Ttech Understood, they will definitely send people to Chongqing to re-contact these insiders."
What Tang Cheng said was half true and half false. What Zhang Jianghe didn't know was that in previous arrest operations, Tang Cheng had already mastered many traitors who had been bribed by the Japanese. However, Tang Cheng did not take action against these traitors. He kept these traitors because he wanted to wait for THT to send people to Chongqing again. Tangcheng was using these exposed traitors as bait. As long as the people sent to Chongqing by Tecko started to contact them, they would not be able to escape the eyes of the search team.
Takada Takenan is difficult to deal with, this is Zhang Jianghe's truest thought, and he is the person in charge of the military command in Chongqing, so naturally he cannot deal with it as casually as Tangcheng did. Since receiving the secret order from the headquarters, Zhang Jianghe has strengthened his control over the city. However, a few days have passed quickly, and Chongqing Station has not received any clues or news related to Takada Wunan. While Zhang Jianghe was waiting patiently, Takada Takenan, mentioned in the secret order from the Military Command Headquarters, had quietly appeared at the Chongqing Pier.
Takenan Takada is considered a China expert. He has lived in China for more than ten years and can already speak Chinese fluently. Wearing a plain gown, Takenan Takada looks no different from most Chinese people. Perhaps due to habit, when Takenan Takada walks, his back always appears straighter than others. Being sent to Chongqing this time, Takenan Takada had to investigate the reason why the Chongqing intelligence network lost contact for a time. Another task was to secretly contact a high-level insider in Chongqing.
The insiders developed by THT in the National Security Control Area are naturally divided according to their levels. The level of the insider's position in the security system determines the level of confidentiality of these insiders. The insider Takada Takenan wanted to contact this time worked in the Chongqing Municipal Government, and his level was not low. After landing from the pier, Takenan Takada did not go into the city immediately. Instead, he had lunch at the pier, and then waited until the afternoon before finally entering the city.
As a field agent, Takenan Takada's delaying behavior on the dock was too dangerous. After all, Chongqing is still under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang. Faced with the danger of being exposed at any time, Takada Takenan stayed at the dock for an entire noon. Instead of doing nothing, he was waiting for another contact person. Takada Takenan not only has one line, but also one contact person, just in case, because the previous loss of contact with the Chongqing Intelligence Network was too weird.
After waiting all afternoon in vain, Takada Takenan did not wait for his contact person. He was secretly wary. Although he could not see the slightest panic on his face, he already had a bad premonition in his heart. Arriving at the residence with his subordinates pretending to be followers, Takenan Takada did not immediately send out a secret signal to meet with the insider. Uncharacteristically, he chose to hibernate and did not go out for several days.
Takada Takenan, who was alert, chose to act cautiously, but he didn't know that he was already under surveillance from the moment he took the people ashore from the pier. He stayed in his residence for several days without going out, which aroused even greater interest from the monitors, because a person who normally comes to Chongqing to do business would never fail to go out and inquire about the market. It was Tang Cheng's search team that was monitoring Takada Takenan. The first thing that made Takada Takenan suspicious was not the team members who performed daily tasks, but Tang Cheng's spies deployed in the city.
Tang Cheng controls many shops in the city, and these shops are run by family members and friends of Tang Cheng's team members. While these people run the shops, they are also responsible for helping the search team collect and explore various information on the streets. Takada Takenan and others live in a rented residence. Although people can stay away from home for several days, they still have to eat, drink and wear clothes. The seclusion of Takada Takenan and the others naturally attracted the attention of the search team's spies, so they were soon secretly monitored.
A team under Zhao Dashan was responsible for monitoring this place. At first, they did not show too much concern. As the foreign population continued to grow, the search team's surveillance tasks became increasingly busy. A surveillance mission like this might only last three or two days and then end. The unexpected incident occurred on the second day of surveillance. Takada Takenan disguised himself as a businessman this time, accompanied by two attendants. The surveillance team accidentally discovered that the attendant who came out to buy food was actually a skilled man.
After discovering that the target being monitored was accompanied by a bodyguard, the search team members who were secretly monitoring the area naturally had to test it out. As a result, they found out that the other party's skills were not simple. When Tang Cheng received the news, he was chatting with Zhang Jianghe. When he learned that his team members had discovered a suspicious person, Tang Cheng, who had nothing to do, immediately rushed over with his people. "Captain, the target lives in the yard over there. There are three of them in total, and they look like businessmen." The surveillance team leader reported the situation to Tangcheng concisely, and the other two surveillance team members also supplemented.
Tang Cheng, who climbed up the ladder to the roof, lowered his figure and slowly took out his telescope from the ridge to look at the yard in front. There was no one in the yard. Tang Cheng just looked through the telescope and saw a few pieces of clothes hanging to dry in the yard. "There is indeed something wrong! Those clothes in the yard are not washed and dried. They are used to block surveillance from high places." Tang Cheng saw the problem at a glance. Normally, people dry clothes in the yard. The rope for hanging clothes is not fixed that high.
The captain saw the problem as soon as he arrived, and the three members of the surveillance team secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that their efforts were not in vain. It was no accident that the other party's sheets and clothes were dried in the yard. Based on this alone, Tang Cheng could already conclude that the people in the yard asked him, but he didn't know who sent these three people to Chongqing. Tang Cheng did not intend to act rashly this time. He chose to continue to monitor, wait and see, and then try to see if he could follow this line to get more clues.
Takada Takenan stayed in his residence for four consecutive days without going out. Perhaps he felt that his group did not attract anyone's attention. Early on the fifth day, one of Takada Takenan's subordinates went to the dock again. On the surface, Takenan Takada's subordinate went to the dock to rent a warehouse. In fact, his subordinate went to the dock to connect on behalf of Takenan Takada. Contrary to Takada Takenan's expectation, the men he sent out still failed to meet with the contact person today. After some inquiries, Takada Takenan found out that there was a so-called severe crackdown in the city a while ago, and many idle guys were arrested. to a labor camp outside the city.
Takada Takenan is still unclear whether his contact person has also been sent to a labor camp outside the city, but he has no way to find this contact person now and has to give up this plan. "You mean some of them went to the pier? And stayed there for noon?" Tang Cheng, who had seen the surveillance records, thought to himself. Judging from the other party's performance, he should have gone to the pier to meet someone, but the news sent back by the tracking team, The person on the other side reacted normally at the dock.
"Captain, could it be that this person went to the dock and there is no one waiting to meet him?" Zhao Dashan, who came to the surveillance point with Tang Cheng, raised his question in a timely manner, based on their experience in dealing with Japanese spies. Look, it’s not impossible. After hearing this, Tang Cheng fell into deep thought. After a moment, Tang Cheng's eyes lit up.
"Immediately send someone to investigate those people sent to the labor camp outside the city, and find out how many of them frequent the dock area." This order from Tangcheng reminded Zhao Dashan and others. They knew another purpose of Operation Strike Hard, which was to clean up the idlers in the city. The original plan was to cut off the Japanese from developing informants in the city. Now it seems that Operation Strike Hard has worked!
