After thinking about it, Zang Shiyi explained the reason for his judgment: "If the Kwantung Army wants to transfer these heavy printing presses out of Xinjing, I think Gongzhuling Town will be the first choice. Of course, Siping in the south, Jilin in the east is not impossible, but I feel that the possibility is greater between Siping and Xinjing."
"Because Jilin and the Wuchang you control are only half a mile apart from Shulan. The security is no better than Xinjing, or even worse than Xinjing. Although Siping Street has more convenient transportation, it is not as far away from Xinjing." Compared with the nearby Gongzhuling line, the location is a bit too far south."
"But one thing is certain, no matter where this batch of machinery and equipment is moved, according to the Japanese army's usual habits, these machinery and equipment will not leave too far from major cities, and they will definitely be in areas with very convenient transportation. From the current point of view, , it should not leave both sides of the China-Long-distance Railway.”
"Especially under the current situation where the entire Kwantung Army is seriously short of trucks, these things will not leave the railway line too far. In a battle last year, the entire Kwantung Army lost nearly two thousand trucks. This number almost occupies the rest of the fleet. It has half of the number of trucks under its jurisdiction, and according to Japan’s production capacity, it cannot be replenished within a year. Under this situation, they can only rely more on railway lines for all kinds of transportation.”
"As for where this batch of printing equipment is, I still need to find a way to find out, but you can rest assured that as long as your military pressure on the front line of the Shuangcheng City is still there, they will not transport these machines back to Xinjing. Japan People are stingy. Most of this equipment is imported from the United States and Germany. Once lost, it is difficult to replace it. And as long as the Jiutai, Dehui, and Nong'an lines north of Xinjing are not lost, these equipment will not leave Xinjing. It’s too far from Beijing.”
"Although the relocated Fengtian is safer, they will not rest assured that these machines and equipment specially used to print currency are not under the eyes of the Kwantung Army. For the entire Japan, the Kwantung Army has always been an independent kingdom. , they also have conflicts with the North Korean military and the country."
"As far as I know, the Bank of Korea, controlled by the North Korean army, has been trying to reach out to the Northeast again after its northeast branch was forcibly merged with the Bank of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army. The Korean won it issued has never been completely withdrawn from the market. , is still circulating in the Northeast, and anyone who has been involved in finance knows that whoever controls a country's financial system is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the country."
"So under the current situation where the Kwantung Army does not want other domestic forces to extend their hands too much into the Northeast, firmly grasping the finance of Manchukuo is their best way to prevent this powerful force in Southern Manchuria and the so-called Kanto State. , the Bank of Korea, which also has great influence, re-entered Manchuria. They would not easily move the mint to Fengtian.
"As long as these devices remain around Xinjing, I will be able to find out. The Japanese really think that they will give me a so-called high-ranking official with a generous salary and send people to closely monitor my every move. There is nothing I can do. I can only serve them wholeheartedly and serve this so-called Manchukuo established under their bayonets. They really underestimate me."
"You go back and tell your chief. I will give them a prepared answer for this matter within three days at the latest. However, I can't help you with how to transport this batch of equipment to your base. It turns out that I am in Manchukuo. I still have some connections in the military. Although it doesn’t have much effect, there are still people who will listen to what I say.”
"But now those so-called Manchukuo troops have been disarmed, and those who have been transferred to the pass have been transferred to the pass, and the rest are all troops formed by Koreans. They were originally composed of Manchus and were responsible for guarding some important places. The troops have now been replaced by the Japanese army. I am really powerless to transport this batch of equipment through the Kwantung Army's blockade to your place."
Regarding the old man's difficulties, the person who contacted him said indifferently: "As long as the old man can figure out where to transport the equipment, it will have given us a big help, and the rest will take care of itself. Let us take care of it, so the old man doesn’t have to worry too much.”
"As for what the old gentleman said today, I will convey it to my superiors intact. The old gentleman is indeed rich in experience and his judgment of the Japanese is so accurate. No wonder the number one leader of our Anti-Japanese Alliance has such an evaluation of you. It has always been very high, saying that although you had the intention to save the country, you chose the wrong method and misjudged the situation, and you bore the name of a traitor in vain."
"Our No. 1 leader also entrusted me to tell you that the Kwantung Army's control over the Japanese-occupied areas is getting tighter and tighter now. It's late and cold at night. I also hope that you will take care of yourself and your contribution and help to the Anti-Alliance, as well as to China." We will always remember our contribution to the people’s anti-fascist struggle.”
"Head No. 1 has repeatedly asked me to tell you that if anything happens, you will be transferred immediately. Head No. 1 has instructed us that if you are willing, we will transfer you to the base area at all costs. If you are really unwilling to live in the base area, , if you want to go to Chongqing, you can also arrange it with us."
Hearing this man's rather confident words, as well as the words of the No. 1 military chief of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, Zang Shiyi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He sighed in his heart. When he was so high-spirited, this matter was nothing. It’s difficult, but right now I am really like a fallen phoenix, worse than a chicken. I really made one wrong step and one wrong step at a time.”
I ignored my mother's objections and accepted the label of traitor in order to be able to serve as an internal supporter when the young marshal regained the Northeast one day. However, I did not expect that the young marshal really failed to live up to expectations. He had hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops in his hands. Not only was he unable to Recovering the Northeast, on the contrary, completely destroyed the wealth left by the old commander in a few years.
Back then, in order to regain control of the Northeast and serve as an internal agent, he did not hesitate to become a traitor and made his mother angry to death. But now the recovery of the Northeast is far away. Who among the people in the Northeast can know the painstaking efforts he has gone through? I don’t know when I will be freed from the reputation of being a traitor.
Now I finally see a little hope, but it is not the Marshal's Northeastern Army that comes, but the Anti-Japanese Alliance in that area. I did not expect that the Anti-Japanese League who were chased and hiding in Tibet would be where they are today. It's just that if these Anti-Japanese League It has really become a trend, and I can understand my painstaking efforts in the past and let myself go.
When I was the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Security Command and Chairman of Liaoning Province, I often killed those Communists who instigated strikes and mutinies. Although the number of Communists I approved of executions was not many in the Northeast and their organization was not large, Tight, far inferior to that in Guan Nei,
But the total accumulated amount is still quite large. Can they really forgive themselves for what they did back then? Thinking of this, Zang Shiyi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I understand your chief's painstaking efforts. Thank you chief for your kindness to me, a sinner." Concern, please rest assured, chief, that when it comes to that point, I will make the best choice for myself."
After saying this, Zang Shiyi seemed to have exhausted all his strength, as if he had aged dozens of years. He sat down on the sofa and said in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "I made a mistake at that time, and now I am going wrong." To this day, it is too difficult to look back. I have done so many sins over the years, and one day I will pay them back."
How could Zang Shiyi tell outsiders about these feelings in his heart. He had stayed in the Northeast and worked hard for many years despite being infamy, hoping that one day the young marshal would be able to fight back, but increasingly he saw that the young marshal he had high hopes for would regain the Northeast. It’s getting more and more uncertain, so I can only express my feelings in private,
However, Zang Shiyi did not brag. Three days later, a piece of information about the mint equipment of the Central Bank of Manchuria was quickly sent back to Jiamusi, the headquarters of the Northeast Military Region, through a secret radio station. At the same time, photos of some of the equipment were also sent through a secret radio station. The line of communication was transferred back to the Military Region Intelligence Department,
After receiving this information, the Intelligence Department immediately sent it to Yang Zhen as soon as possible. Although Zang Shiyi had fallen into trouble and became a traitor, he still had a unique vision. After painstaking investigation, the facts Proving his judgment, this batch of banknote printing equipment transferred from Xinjing was indeed stored in a warehouse inside the Gongzhuling Kwantung Army Tank School. Not only the banknote printing equipment was stored here, but even the evacuated Some of the technical staff are also here,
After receiving the information from the Xinjing Underground Working Committee, Yang Zhen read it carefully. Li Mingrui, the brigade commander of the General District Special Reconnaissance Brigade, and Dong Ping, the political commissar, came over and showed them the information and photos. , Yang Zhen pointed to the intelligence returned by the two people: "Find these equipments, seize them all, and transport them back to the base."
After hearing Yang Zhen's order, Li Mingrui and Dong Ping looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No. 1, it would be easy for you to order the destruction of these equipment. We can complete this task as a battalion. But transporting these bulky equipment back through the Japanese army's multiple lines of defense is no simple matter."
"All our combat personnel, including logistics personnel, have completed parachute training. We can parachute through the enemy's defense lines. When retreating, we can also use our experience and training to disperse through the Japanese defense lines. However, How can we transport these equipments that are so heavy and heavy? How can we march and fight while carrying them?"
"No. 1, it's not that I'm afraid of difficulties, let alone that Li Mingrui is afraid, but we are a special reconnaissance force, and what we focus on is flexible combat and reconnaissance. If we carry such a heavy machine, a distance of several hundred kilometers, let alone Marching and fighting will wear out the soldiers even if they are tired."
"The front line of Gongzhuling is the depth of the Japanese army. If these machines and equipment are not snatched out by then, all our troops will be inside. No. 1, please think about it carefully. I am afraid that the losses and gains in this battle will not be directly proportional." , the price is too high, it’s not worth the gain.”
"Our troops are the eyes of the military region chief. If the losses in this operation are too large, it will have a great impact on future operations. No. 1, how about we send some troops to sneak into the enemy's rear to collect all these equipment?" It’s all blown up, so don’t transport it back.”
