Chapter 1374 No Time to Say Goodbye

Gui Youguang supported himself on the ground with his hands, observed the movements above his head, and used the slippery mud to crawl to the pastor's side.

Looking at the horrific corpse, he didn't have time to think and reached out his hand to the wound on the other's leg.

After rotating his fingers twice in the wound, Gui Youguang soon felt a hard object. He had obtained evidence of the Japanese conducting human experiments in Malaya.

This is the priest’s plan. Since he cannot sneak into and storm the 9400 base, he will just walk into the trap.

The method of collecting intelligence is also very simple, taking photos and recording them in writing.

In order to pass the inspection, the priest deliberately injured his leg to divert the enemy's attention and lead them to ignore certain hidden locations.

Afterwards, he used an ancient smuggling technique [Gudaozangyin] to bring the spy camera and the note into the camp, and finally used the wound as a carrier to bring out the intelligence.

The priest made full use of his blind spot in thinking, created a time difference, and successfully deceived the Japanese.

When Danggui Youguang heard about this plan for the first time, his only feeling was shock.

In the intelligence industry, death is inevitable, but using one's own corpse as a "mailbox" is still something Gui Youguang finds hard to accept.

But when Margaret finished telling the pastor's story, he understood.

The greatest sorrow is a dead heart. Perhaps from the moment the church was burned down, the other person's soul had already died, and what was left was just a body.

Gui Youguang thought a lot, but his hands were not slow. He took out the oil paper bag from the wound, turned around and crawled back to the jungle along the same route.

The battle outside the ditch was also coming to an end at this time, and the Japanese relied on their firepower advantage to "beat back" the guerrillas.

"retreat!"

Margaret shouted, and the members of the Da army immediately fled into the jungle, and the same was true for the military unity party.

This time, the Japanese did not let go of the sudden enemy easily. In order to prevent the location of the base from being leaked, they sent people to hold on to Margaret and others.

As they chased each other, the two sides entered the depths of the jungle, and the situation between the enemy and us changed.

When they arrived in the jungle, the local Da army and the Military Intelligence Bureau agents who had received professional training in tropical warfare immediately fought back.

"Ah~"

Among the Japanese troops, one man screamed and fell to the ground, covering his foot that was pierced by spikes.

A few seconds later, two more Japanese soldiers were knocked away by a wooden stake several dozen centimeters thick. Under the huge impact force, the two beasts vomited blood and died in an instant.

The Japanese commander's face turned pale, realizing that he had fallen into the enemy's trap, so he decisively ordered to stop the pursuit.

After gathering all the troops, the Japanese saw nothing but darkness. In less than half an hour, the pursuit team lost more than 20 people.

"Baga!" The Japanese commander waved his sword and chopped the surrounding plants into pieces.

On the other side, the guard struck a match and threw it into the ditch. The blazing fire devoured the body of the pastor and erased all traces of Gui Youguang's infiltration.

one day ago.

When he was taken into the laboratory for the second time and on the way back to the surface, the priest kept pressing his fingers, using the camera hidden in his palm to take pictures of the miserable conditions of the prisoners in the laboratory, basement and cells.

The crimes committed by the Japanese were too numerous to list. The 50 negatives were quickly consumed, and the pastor knew that his life was about to enter the countdown.

He carefully wrapped the camera and the note with the information in oil paper, endured the severe pain and stuffed the oil paper package into the wound on his leg. He repeatedly tore the wound, and the pain was self-evident.

Grabbing a straw and wiping the wound roughly, the priest, who was sweating profusely, exhaled a breath and quickly took out a pill.

This is a suicide drug issued by the Special Operations Executive, which can cause agents to die silently.

Without any hesitation, the pastor tilted his head back and put the pill into his mouth. The bitter taste rushed into his mouth and his heart beat faster.

The pastor's vision gradually blurred. He seemed to see the orphans, laughing and running towards him with joy. Finally, everything in front of him turned dark.

At the last moment of his life, a ridiculous thought popped into his mind: the British were finally reliable for once.

Thinking of this, the pastor used the last of his strength to pull up the corners of his mouth, leaving a strange smile.

Hu~hu~hu~

When the Japanese were chasing Margaret and others, Gui Youguang was running quickly in the jungle. Amidst his heavy breathing, the lenses of his gas mask were covered with water vapor.

No one knew what the 9400th unit had burned in the ditch. For safety reasons, he had to wear protective clothing and move until the threat was eliminated.

After running a few kilometers, Gui Youguang kept adjusting his direction according to the marks he had made in advance and rushed to the designated meeting point.

Two hours before sunset, near a river, he met a young spy from the Military Control Commission who came to pick him up.

This was something worth being happy about, but an unexpected situation occurred and a hole appeared in Gui Youguang's protective suit.

No matter where the breach was caused, Gui Youguang was likely infected with a deadly virus or bacteria.

For the safety of everyone, he could not cross the river to join the main force. He could only have a small spy wearing protective clothing to copy the intelligence, while the rest of the people stayed on the other side.

Margaret looked anxiously towards the other side of the river, but Gui Youguang was very calm. He found a place to sit down and waved at her.

With the help of a raincoat, the young spy built a makeshift darkroom and developed the film in the spy camera as quickly as possible. He then used another camera to take photos and write notes.

After the remake was completed, the little spy crossed the river and handed the developed photos and the original note to Margaret.

The cooperation between the Da Army and the Military Control Commission has ended here. Both sides still have tasks to complete, so it is time to go their separate ways. Acting separately can also ensure safety to the greatest extent.

The Military Intelligence Bureau agents swam to the other side one after another, but did not leave immediately. They pretended to organize their equipment, but in fact they secretly glanced at someone out of the corner of their eyes.

Gui Youguang and Margaret looked at each other across the river. They did not speak for a long time and said a special farewell in silence.

A beautiful battlefield [encounter] ended without any result. In this turbulent era, there are too many things that are beyond one's control, and the goodwill between men and women is even more of a luxury.

The river flowed slowly through the green jungle, and Margaret was the first to turn around and leave.

As she took action, she touched the information on her chest, her gaze became firm again, her steps became more steady, and she already had some of the shadow of a priest.

In the opposite direction, Gui Youguang walked alone at the end of the team, getting farther and farther away from Margaret...

A few days later, Temasek.

Zuo Zhong and He Yijun were drinking tea while the radio beside them was playing the latest news about the Battle of the Solomon Islands and the Battle of Guadalcanal.

[This is ABC①, reporting the latest situation in the Pacific theater. ]

[People of the free world, please straighten your backs - the army of justice has severely damaged the Japanese in the Solomon Islands, and the dawn of the Pacific is about to pierce the darkness! ]

[Last night, the heroic Allied fleet successfully stopped the Combined Fleet in the waters of Savo Island. The Japanese cruiser Toriumi was severely damaged and three destroyers were buried on the seabed.]

[Late yesterday, the 36st Marine Division successfully landed on Guadalcanal and captured Henderson Field. The fearless guys braved the tropical rainstorm and the enemy's machine guns and tore down the plaster flag in just hours! ]

The announcer read the broadcast script in an impassioned tone, but he only mentioned the losses of the Japanese and did not mention the losses of the Allied fleet.

Even a fool knows that a naval battle of this scale cannot be one-sided and the Allied forces are bound to suffer losses.

So what was the reason that the broadcast deliberately avoided talking about the Allies?

Obviously, the Americans lost, and lost badly.

Zuo Zhong shook his head helplessly. He had handed over the fleet number and commander information of Japan defending the Solomon Sea to ONI, so why was this the result?

He Yijun poured him a cup of tea and asked doubtfully, "Did the Americans suffer a great loss?"

"Perhaps, but the Americans are big and powerful, and the lost ships can be quickly replaced, but the Japanese are different."

Zuo Zhong's words revealed the gap between Japan and the United States. The shipyards on the east and west coasts of the United States have entered wartime mode, and the shipbuilding speed has increased by more than one level.

Taking the Liberty Ship as an example, according to the report of the Military Control Commission's American Station, the Liberty Ship with a displacement of up to 5 tons took less than 4 days from keel laying to launching, to be exact, it took 15 days, 29 hours and seconds.

The speed was so fast that the paint on the superstructure was not dry when the freighter was launched into the water.

With this shipbuilding speed, how can the Japanese compete with the Americans? Use their heads?

The broadcast continued, but the news focus shifted from the Pacific to Europe. The most brutal city battle in human history had lasted for almost a year.

But this has nothing to do with the Military Control Commission and the Republic of China. Zuo Zhong does not have the energy to care about the war thousands of miles away. He only cares about the Japanese.

When the broadcast ended, a young spy came in from outside, leaned over to Zuo Chong's ear and whispered something with a strange expression on his face.

After listening to the report, Zuo Zhong's face was full of disbelief and he asked three questions in a row.

"Really?"

“Is it fake news?”

"Does he have the guts?"

He Yijun was extremely curious. What kind of information could have caused the deputy commander to be so shocked? Could it be that something big had happened in the mountain city?

After a while, Zuo Zhong stroked his chin and muttered, "I didn't realize that Gui Youguang had this skill."

He always thought that if the other party wanted to get married, he would have to give away a wife through the bureau. Who would have thought that the bald guy would be so lucky in love.

"Tsk tsk, this bastard has good luck."

After muttering to himself, Zuo Zhong assigned a task to the little spy.

"Send the families of our fallen brothers to New Zealand. There must be no mistakes in the compensation. I will chop off the head of anyone who dares to interfere!"

"Also, send a telegram to Melrose and ask him to coordinate with the Special Operations Executive Office to have the British send that Margaret... Margaret to Temasek to contact the Military Control Commission."

It is always safer to engage in secret intelligence work in the city than to fight guerrilla warfare with the Japanese in the jungle. Anyway, they are all contributions to the anti-Japanese cause and there is no distinction between high and low.

As a superior, this is all Zuo Chong can do for Gui Youguang, and the rest will be left to time.

The world of intelligence cannot be all about intrigue and deception, it also needs some warmth.

As for whether Margaret was a British spy? Forget it. The British Empire is only a breath away and will die after the war.

The future is a game of money and faith. Zuo Zhong is confident that he can make Gui Youguang eat the "sugar coating" and then fire the shell back.

Seeing He Yijun's curious face, Zuo Zhong temporarily put aside the sadness in his heart and shared Gui Youguang's interesting stories with her.

"Ah, cut~"

In a safe house in Johor Bahru, Gui Youguang sneezed. The medical staff responsible for measuring his body temperature immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy and poured half a bottle of disinfectant on him.

Poor Gui Youguang was not infected by the Japanese bacteria, but almost fell into the hands of his own people. After all, even a strong man cannot withstand washing his face with disinfectant.

a few days later.

Major British and American newspapers published news about the 9400 troops, and Dai Chunfeng in the mountain city also welcomed an uninvited guest.
