Chapter 940: Mr. A is a woman?
It has to be said that after the attack on Pearl Harbor turned into the bombing of America, it did have an impact on some things.
For example, the third Battle of Changsha, which was originally scheduled to begin in late December, started a few days later than originally planned.
Even the latest instructions from the mainland are different from before.
Originally the army was the main force, and the navy was once reduced to a transport team for the army.
This time, the Navy achieved such great results that the headquarters also issued new operational guidelines.
"With the navy as the main force, the Army will cooperate with the navy to expand the results of the war and launch an attack on Southeast Asia."
"The troops in China should maintain the current situation and eliminate the remaining forces of Britain and the United States. Intelligence agencies should use appropriate strategies, public opinion, inducement to surrender, and do a good job in many aspects to put pressure on the Chinese government and force it to surrender."
It was also based on this operational guideline delivered from the mainland that Chen Yang approved a large-scale raid on the Shanghai market led by the Mei Agency in conjunction with the Iwai Agency of the Consulate, the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, and the Manchurian Railway Affairs Investigation Bureau.
Since the Special High Police was excluded by Chen Yang, Otani Genichirō sent several telegrams to the senior commander of the Special High Police from the Northeast, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Police Command, General Doihara.
General Doihara responded: "Follow the instructions of your superiors and do not act without orders."
After receiving the telegram, Genichirō Otani became much more honest, and the Special High Section's action team gave up participating in the search plan and instead began to cooperate with the South China Anti-Japanese War Investigation Committee to collect information about the battlefield.
On December 25, 1941, Hong Kong Island fell.
Hong Kong Governor Mark Young surrendered to Lieutenant General Sakai Takashi of the 23rd Division, and Hong Kong Island became a Japanese colony.
After receiving the news, Shancheng quickly met with the British ambassador and demanded a large amount of material supplies from Britain on the condition of sending troops to Guangzhou.
After weighing the pros and cons, the British ambassador agreed to Shancheng's request.
After research, the Shancheng Military Committee decided to send the 4th Army of the 9th War Zone and the newly formed 2nd Army southward.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force's Special Agent Department soon noticed the unusual movements of the Yamashiro troops.
At this time, Commander Anan's personal adviser, Yuutarou Miura, was still in Shanghai waiting for a reply from the top leaders of the expeditionary army.
After research by the Information Department and the War Command Department, the top brass of the expeditionary force decided to agree to Commander Anan's request to attack Changsha again.
December 28, 1941, Shanghai, Joint Transport Department.
Knock, knock, knock. He Yuehua pushed open the door and said, "Minister, Mr. Sanpu is here again."
Chen Yang raised his head after hearing this, glanced at He Yuehua and said, "Is he here to ask for supplies?"
"Didn't I tell him that without the authorization of the dispatched forces' top brass, the Joint Transport Department has no right to transport supplies?"
"If he wants supplies, he should apply to the expeditionary force headquarters first."
He Yuehua said respectfully: "I told him, but this time he seems to have received the order."
"Oh," Chen Yang put down the pen in his hand and said, "Since there is an order, please let him in."
He Yuehua bowed slightly and hurried to pass on the message.
After a while, the short and fat Miura Yuutarou appeared at the door of the office. "Minister Chen, it's really not easy to see you."
Chen Yang stood up and raised his hand slightly and said, "Mr. Sanpu, what are you talking about? There are a lot of things to do in my department. I can't stay in the office every day to meet people."
"I'm not an opera singer, why do I need to meet so many people?"
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Miura is here for supplies?"
Yuutarou Miura quickly took out a document signed by the Expeditionary Force Headquarters from his briefcase and handed it to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took the document and read it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he smiled and said, "Mr. Miura, please wait a moment. I will let Dongye-kun contact you."
After that, he picked up the phone on the table, dialed the internal number, and asked Higashino Daiki to come to the office.
Yuutarou Miura quietly watched Chen Yang hang up the phone, then said: "Minister Chen, I hope you can move faster this time."
"Commander Anan has quickly mobilized the troops to prepare for battle at any time after receiving the order from the senior leaders of the expeditionary force."
"You also know that it has been less than two months since the last battle. The supplies have not arrived yet, and the troops have not completed the rest and replenishment work."
"Now that we suddenly have to fight, I hope you can give priority to providing supplies to the troops at the front."
Chen Yang frowned slightly when he heard this and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Half a minute later, Chen Yang nodded and said, "I can understand Mr. Sanpu's concerns. The soldiers at the front are fighting desperately, and our logistics department should give them support."
"Give the detailed list of needed materials to Dongye-kun and have him check with the materials warehouse."
"If there are enough supplies in the warehouse, I will arrange a train immediately."
"If there is anything missing, I will communicate with Lord Sato and make it up to you as soon as possible."
"Within three days, deliver all supplies to the front line in batches."
Upon hearing this, Yuutarou Miura stood up, bowed respectfully to Chen Yang, and thanked him repeatedly.
Chen Yang waved his hand. After a while, Higashino Daiki walked into the office with a folder. Chen Yang asked Miura Yuutarou to discuss the details of the materials with Higashino Daiki.
The two men bowed respectfully to Chen Yang and left the office.
Just as Chen Yang picked up the pen, another sound of footsteps was heard, and the head of the Mei Agency, Qingqi Qingyin, hurried into the office.
"Mr. Chen, good news. The Mei Agency has received word that an intelligence liaison officer codenamed Black Widow was arrested at the Shanghai Railway Station."
"This person is a subordinate of Xie Wengong, the director of the South China Division of the Military Control Commission. This time he was ordered to come and meet with Mr. A from the South China Intelligence Department."
"Based on her description, the person we have always thought of as the head of the South China Intelligence Department, Mr. A, is most likely a woman."
Chen Yang looked at the excited Qingqi Qingyin and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Qingqi, could you be mistaken? The chief of the South China Intelligence Department of the Military Control Commission is a woman?"
"How could she be able to transmit so much information, including top-secret information from the Jinling government and the dispatched army?"
"I think the possibility of what you said is almost zero."
Qing Qi Qing Yin said: "Mr. Chen, our Mei Agency has some experience in interrogation."
"This Black Widow's original name was Wu Xiangru, and she was a member of the Military Control Commission's training class."
"According to her confession, Mr. A, who met her, dressed like a man and behaved like a man. In order to hide her identity as a woman, she even used the odor of male sweat to cover up her own smell. However, even if she did so much, Wu Xiangru could still tell that she was a woman."
Chen Yang asked curiously: "Why is this?"
