November 26, the day before the Tianma special train departed.
In Dai Li's office at No. 19 Luojiawan in the mountain city, Ye Yuyin and Su Hanyu were still discussing work.
Ye Yuyin, Director of Operations, suddenly asked: "Sir, has the action plan for Shenpu Three Stations been reported?"
As the director of the Operations Division of the Military Command Bureau, the operations of assassinations, arson, and demolition organized by local field organizations must be planned and arranged by the Operations Division, with the exception of the Shenpu Three Stations, which made him very dissatisfied.
Dai Li shook his head: "Not yet."
Tomorrow is the day when the Tianma will depart. The action plan for Shenpu Station 3 has not yet been reported, and he is very anxious.
However, he had previously given Shenpu three stations special privileges. San Ji Gong's actions could be taken first and reported later. Even if he was the head of the Military Command Bureau, it was not easy to ask too many questions.
He could only think to himself that for such a big operation, he could send it to the bureau for reference first.
After all, there are still many operational experts in the Military Command Bureau. Besides guiding Sanjigong, it is always right to give you advice, right?
It's just that the Shenpu Station 3 didn't come up, so Dai Li couldn't always push him.
After all, it seems that the actions of the Shenpu Three Stations have not failed yet.
Ye Yuyin said angrily: "How can that be done? We will take action tomorrow. We will neither report the details of the action nor say whether we are ready. Even if we just talk about which place to choose for blasting. San Ji Gong is becoming more and more impudent. Yes, sir, I think we should take back the decision-making power of action."
Su Hanyu said: "This is Sanjigong's usual style. We just have to wait. There will be good news."
Ye Yuyin sneered and said: "The Japanese are strictly guarding the Tianma, and armored vehicles are patrolling along the way. Where does the good news come from? This time is different. The Japanese all know the code names of Shenpu Station 3 and Sanji Gong. This is obviously an internal problem at Shenpu Station 3. He is used to having smooth sailing, maybe he will fall into a big trouble this time."
Dai Li mused: "This operation is indeed very dangerous. It will be a severe test for both Shenpu Station and Sanji Gong."
Shenpu Three Stations and Sanji Gong have never been known to the Japanese puppets in Shenpu, so Xie Xuan can arrange them calmly. Now, he not only needs to take action, but also needs to guard against the Japanese attacking the Shenpu Station. Can he do both of these things at the same time?
You know, Xie Xuan is only in his early twenties. No matter how thoughtful he is, there are always things he hasn't thought of, right?
When working in occupied areas, especially when lurking within the enemy, once a mistake is made, there is no chance to correct it, and only failure and death are left.
Su Hanyu muttered: "I believe Sanjigong can handle it."
This time is indeed a severe test for Xie Xuan, but he believes in San Ji Gong. For so long, Xie Xuan has given him enough surprises every time.
Ye Yuyin sarcastically said: "It's useless for you to believe, he must have such strength."
Su Hanyu said calmly: "Shenpu Station 3 has been established for more than a year, and he has demonstrated his strength through actions more than once."
Ye Yuyin sneered and said: "Can it be the same this time? The Japanese and puppets didn't know his existence before, but now they must be more vigilant. His action plan will never be as smooth as before."
When Su Hanyu was about to speak, Wei Daming, director of the Telecommunications Division of the Military Command Bureau, walked in with a telegram draft in his hand.
"Sir, there's a call from Shenpu Station 3."
Dai Li said excitedly: "Oh, come and take a look."
He had been looking forward to the telegram from Shenpu Station 3, and Wei Daming also knew what he was thinking. As long as it was a telegram from Shenpu Station 3, he would personally deliver it as soon as possible.
Ye Yuyin asked: "Sir, what is the action plan for Shenpu Station 3?"
Dai Li said: "The operations at Shenpu Station 3 are ready. In addition, the code name of Sanji Gong will be deactivated from today, and a new code name will be used: 'Three Bosses'. In addition, Sanji Gong will be investigated by the bureau. The Japanese knew about the sabotage of the Tianma train almost at the same time as him. For safety reasons, the next telegram sent to him will use codebook No. 5."
When Xie Xuan received the secret message from Shancheng, the entire Shenpu Station, including the operators and translators, did not know the content.
The secret message sent by Shancheng to Xie Xuan could only be translated by Xie Xuan's code. He did not issue an order at that time, and only Xie Xuan knew about it in the entire Shenpu Station.
But Sasaki said at the meeting that Shenpu Station 3 had received the action order from Yamashiro.
Even if there is a traitor in Shenpu Station 3 or the Third Operation Brigade, the information about Shenpu Station 3 and Sanjigong can only be revealed. The action to destroy the Tianma will not be leaked by Shenpu.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Japanese deciphered Xie Xuan's telegram.
But that possibility is so slim that it can almost be ignored.
No matter how likely it was, Xie Xuan decided to change the code book.
Therefore, the problem is more likely to lie outside the Shenpu Three Stations, for example, the Military Command Bureau in the mountain city.
No matter where the problem is, it must be found.
The telegram from Shenpu Station 3 said: "The operation is ready", which made him feel relieved.
Su Hanyu shook his head and said firmly: "There can be no Japanese insiders in the bureau."
Since the Anti-Japanese War, the Military Command Bureau has indeed produced many traitors, but after three years of the War of Resistance, the Military Command Bureau has conducted many investigations, especially the people in the Telecommunications Department, who are basically Jiangshan people and cannot be incited to rebel by the Japanese.
Dai Li asked: "How did the Japanese know?"
Ye Yuyin said: "Maybe you guessed it? Maybe it's the problem of Shenpu Station 3? The bureau is so far away from Shenpu Station, the most likely thing is Shenpu Station 3. Let Sanjigong, no, let the third boss Check yourself and don’t go to the bureau if you have any problems.”
Xie Xuan said: "The action is ready" and sent Shancheng away without mentioning a word about the action plan. What does this mean?
Dai Li said: "Check all the people who have access to the information. Sanji Gong... The code name Third Boss is very popular. You can use this code name to test it. If Shenpu knows it soon, Sanji Gong..." The company’s code name has been changed to Boss Three, which means there is a real problem in the bureau.”
His subordinates usually call him "Mr." or "Mr. Dai" in person, but behind his back they always call him "Boss Dai."
Xie Xuan now gives himself the code name "Three Bosses", and both of them have become "bosses".
Although the code name "Sanji Gong" has been discontinued, in Shenpu, the Japanese and puppet spies still have the important task of tracking down "Sanji Gong".
Xie Xuan changed his code name not only because San Ji Gong's code name had been exposed, but also because he wanted to do a test.
Xie Xuan spared no effort in tracking down "San Ji Gong", and both the Japanese and Li Junshi were very satisfied. Especially after he had a specific goal, Li Junshi also handed over part of the task of protecting the Tianma to Xie Xuan...
It’s hard to think of anything wrong with Tianma.
