In October 1941, a terrible news came from the Japanese base camp, the "Ramza" group was detected by the Japanese base camp, Sorge and Hideshi Ozaki were arrested, and the Soviet intelligence group in the Far East was left alone. Takeda tightened his brows.
After Sorge's arrest, Soviet intelligence quickly broke off contact with local intelligence groups. This led to the suspension of contact between the Takeda group and Soviet intelligence. By this time, Nakanishi had been transferred to Nanjing, and Takeda let him live in the house he had bought.
Takeda asked Nakanishi to call Moscow, but never heard back. The wind was howling outside, and suddenly Takeda felt like a lost child, not knowing the direction of home. After consulting with Zhongxi Gong, he decided to contact the Central China Bureau of the CPC and put forward a request to join the work of the party organization.
At this time, Takeda's introduction to the party, Zhang Hao, had died of illness in Yan'an, and who could prove Takeda's identity? Pan Hannian, who was in charge of contacting Takeda, contacted the Comintern, verified Takeda's identity, and with the consent of the organization, the Central China Bureau decided to recruit Takeda into our intelligence organization.
Pan Hannian
Takeda was encouraged, as if returning to the arms of his mother.D. He assured Pan Hannian that he would work hard in the future.
In April 1942, the Japanese base camp promoted Takeda to major general of the army and appointed him deputy chief of staff and chief of the second section of the Special Forces Division of the General Headquarters of the Chinese Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army. As a rising star in the Japanese military, Takeda's future is unlimited. Of course, this is inseparable from the efforts of Itagaki Seishiro.
On April 21, on the orders of the General Command, Takeda Tooko went to the North China Front to learn about the preparations for the May Day sweep.
On April 23, at the Shijiazhuang Headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, Okamura Ninji pointed to the sand table and explained to Takeda: "From May 1, we will concentrate three divisions and five companies with a total of about 50,000 people to carry out a combing and suppression of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong Province." Then, in this area of less than 60,000 square kilometers, the three-light policy was implemented, and a security zone was set up, and bunkers, blockade ditches, and blockade walls were built. ”
Gangcun said with a smile: "Here will be the implementation of the jijia and village, we want to build a 350 kilometers from east to west, 40 kilometers from north to south uninhabited area." These villages will all disappear from the map. ”
Takeda nodded from time to time, praising Okamura for his clever approach. Before leaving, Takeda said, "I will definitely report the commander-in-chief's intentions to the commander-in-chief."
Okamura Ninji
After returning to Nanjing from Shijiazhuang, Takeda immediately sent out the information that the Japanese army had concentrated more than 50,000 people to carry out the "May Day" sweep of the base area in Jizhong.
Takeda can learn a lot of important military secrets in this position, and he has successively obtained important information such as the Japanese army's "iron wall encirclement" of the headquarters of the 18th Group Army and the Japanese army's sweep of the base area in northwestErn Jin. Of course, this information was sent to the Central China Bureau through the radio of Zhongxi Gong.
In July 1942, Akira Akira was transferred back to Japan. The head of the "Mei" organ was Major General Imai. The "Song" organ took advantage of this opportunity to expand its influence to Nanjing, and its chief of organ Du Jia was soon appointed as the chief of the intelligence section of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army.
Toka was a strong leader, and as soon as he took office, he made a big fuss about rectifying it, replacing Takeda's previous team with his own cronies.
One day, Shosa Yoshioka, a close associate of Toka, detected an unregistered radio station signal. When Toka learned of this, he immediately ordered Yoshioka to continue listening and told him not to hit the grass and snake. According to the instructions, Yoshioka carried out monitoring work day and night, and gradually narrowed the scope of monitoring, and finally the direction finder was located in Nakanishi's residence.
On July 22, Nakanishi and others were arrested. At this point, the "Takeda Group" ceased its activities.
Takeda was shocked to hear the news of Nakanishi's arrest, and he immediately went to the intelligence department to investigate the matter.
At the Intelligence Division's office, Takeda congratulated Toka and said, "Did you gain anything from Nakanishi Gong?" Du Jia shook his head and said that this guy is a die-hard and has not yet found anything. Takeda continued to ask, "Daisaku doesn't need help from the General Staff, but the second section of my department is in charge of communist intelligence." The cunning Dujia immediately said, "No need, more general kindness." ”
Takeda's heart is confused, it seems that it is impossible to save them, but we must find a way to save their lives, as long as they do not confess, in the absence of strong evidence, they can keep their names. Takeda thought of the "Plum" mechanism.
This time, the "Matsu" organ cracked the big case and stole the limelight of the "Mei" organ, and Takeo Imai was very unhappy in his heart.
Takeo Imai
Takeda guessed Imai Takeo's thoughts, and he said to Imai, "Actually, the culprit was arrested in your district, you can fully participate in this case and try it together, and then we will not stand idly by in the second lesson." ”
Takeo Imai was suddenly cheerful and immediately expressed his approval. The two men went to the commander's office, made a strong statement, argued with reason, and finally persuaded the commander that the three of them would try the case.
Toka had long anticipated that Takeo Imai would come to fight for merit, and privately wrote a report to the commander, saying that Nakanishi and others were stubborn and committed the most heinous crimes, and demanded the death penalty.
General Yan Junliu was undecided for a moment, and he handed the report to Takeda Toshio to hear his opinion. Takeda was shocked that this cunning Dujia had actually come from behind with this hand. After reading the materials, Takeda saw that there was no strong evidence provided above, so he pushed the boat along the water, suggested leniency, and advocated active inducement, perhaps these people could still serve the imperial army in the future.
Yan Junliu gave a thumbs up, "Well, it is more far-sighted to deal with it this way." ”
Smoke Junliu
In this way, the trial of the "CCP Spy Group Case" was concluded, and Zheng Wendao was sentenced to death, and the rest were sentenced to life imprisonment.
However, Tokadasa is a clever and cunning guy who discovers new clues from the investigation of Nakanishi's case. According to the investigation, there is a mysterious figure in the Japanese military who is often in contact with Nakanishi. But the man's whereabouts are mysterious, and no one knows who he is.
From all aspects of analysis, It was determined that this person was very similar to Takeda Takeo. He thought of Takeda's unusual interest in the Nakanishi case, and with the smell of an old spy, he sensed that Takeda was very suspicious. As a result, Toka began to send people to secretly monitor Takeda's residence. But Takeda was very alert, and tossed and turned for a long time without any clues.
In August, after Pan Hannian's introduction, Takeda met Yuan Shu, vice minister of the Propaganda Department of the Wang Puppet Central Committee. Yuan Shu studied in Japan and was the "intelligence king" in the history of the CCP's intelligence, known as the "Eastern Zorg". As soon as the two men saw each other, Takeda told Yuan Shu that he was actually Chinese and was fighting for his homeland.
Yuan Shu
Still not satisfied, Tokasa joined forces with Takeo Imai of the Ume authorities to prepare for a further secret investigation of Takeda.
After some investigation, Toka discovered that all major activities in which Takeda had participated, such as Operation Ussuri Tiger and Operation Flowers, had failed, and that Takeda had average performance during his tenure as head of the intelligence section. Nakanishi's radio station insisted on sending newspapers during Takeda's tenure, and it was so powerful that it never been discovered.
According to colleagues at the South Manchuria Railway Company Nakanishi Gong, Nakanishi Gong once received a package from the Japanese military, saying that Nakanishi Gong had a very good friend at the top of the Japanese level. Tokaku was keenly aware that this friend of Nakanishi Washiko was supposed to be Takeda Takeo.
Toka and Takeo Imai agreed that the parcel sent from Manchuria to Shanghai was very suspicious, and if it was confirmed that Takeda had sent it to Nakanishi Gong, they would have obtained strong evidence and could arrest Takeda for examination.
The two immediately reported the incident to Yan Shunroku, commander of the Dispatch Corps Headquarters, and recommended that Takeda be arrested. After all, Takeda was a general, and had a backer in the Japanese military, so for the sake of safety, Yan Shunroku found an excuse to let Takeda go to the Manchurian Kwantung Army Headquarters to perform official duties, and at the same time sent Toka and Imai Takeo to verify the problem of Nakanishi Gong's package, and if the situation was true, he could be arrested on the spot, but he should be sent back to Nanjing for review in a friendly manner.
In October 1942, Takeda stepped on a train bound for Fengtian on the orders of the headquarters.
As the train roared past Shanhaiguan and the majestic Great Wall flashed behind him, Takeda remembered his father, and the scene of himself wandering away with his father appeared in front of him.
Takeda's Japanese resume
Born in Lushun in 1910, his real name was Wang Yixiong, and he followed his father to settle in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, when he was 6 years old. When he was 16 years old, his father died of illness, and he was adopted as an adopted son by Takeda Koichi and changed his name to Takeda Takeo. In June of the same year, he moved with his father to Tokyo, Japan. In Tokyo, he enrolled in the Tokyo Army Non-Commissioned Officer School and began his life's work. It was also in Tokyo that he met his nobleman, Seishiro Itagaki, the man who influenced him throughout his life.
......
Uh-huh– the train passes through Jinzhou.
Takeda lay in his seat and faintly heard a burst of laughter. Suddenly he jumped up, this laughter is so familiar, is it him? Takeda subconsciously touched the gun, and suddenly fell asleep.
Takeda searched in the train compartment, and sure enough, it was him, Tokusa. How they followed me had something to do with my son's official duties in Manchuria or what they had discovered.
At this time, the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Umezu Mijiro, was reading a document, and he frowned, and a pair of triangular eyes revealed an imperceptible fierce light.
Mishiro Umetsu (front)
Umezu Yoshijiro looked at Chief Kobayashi and said, "Who was responsible for Operation Ussuri tiger, which was carried out in showa 14 years?" Who attended?
"The commander of the report was personally responsible for General Doihara, and the specific action was jointly participated by Takeda Takeo, the head of the China Section of the Central China Dispatch Army, Yamaguchi Sasuke, the special high school of the Kwantung Army, and me."
"Did Takeda send a package to Shanghai during this period? Do you remember who the person who received the package was?" asked Umezu Mijiro coldly.
"Yes, he sent a parcel, and the recipient was Nakanishi Gong of the South Manchuria Railway Company's Shanghai office."
"Are you sure?" Umezu asked solemnly.
"Yes, Sir Commander, I am sure. Because it was a package that I personally inspected, it contained a wallet and a collection of Japanese poems. ”
Umezu Mijiro stood up and ordered solemnly and mysteriously, "Takeda Tsutomu arrives in Fengtian tonight, he may be a big spy, maybe he still has a huge intelligence network." I order you to come to me at all costs, in front of the capitals of Nanjing and Imai, and to invite General Takeda to me, understand? ”
"Remember, don't hurt General Takeda." Umezu Mijiro stressed.
The train entered the station, and Takeda got off the train and disappeared into the night. Since then, Takeda Has been missing. After the founding of New China, the Central China Bureau of the Communist Party of China, together with the Soviet Intelligence Bureau, searched for the whereabouts of Takeda Ino in many ways, but there was no news.
No news is probably the best news. I believe that this unsung hero must have lived well in the northeast.
Heroes are immortal!
