Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2959 Tailing! Special Higher Police!

After having the idea of ​​raiding the Japanese arsenal, Duanwu immediately summoned Ma Pingan, Long Qianyan, Ma Shanpao, and others to a meeting room.

After everyone had arrived, Duanwu spoke first: "Gentlemen, although our anti-Japanese brigade has acquired a lot of new equipment, the shortage of bullets remains a serious problem. Moreover, the Japanese have some kind of dragon-slaying plan. Although there's been no movement on it yet, we can't just sit and wait. So I plan to take the initiative and go get some benefits."

Ma Shanpao's eyes lit up, and he asked impatiently, "Battalion Commander, are we getting welfare benefits? Where are we going to get them? We have enough grain. If we can also get some meat to smoke, we'll have a comfortable winter!"

Gao Yanan angrily grabbed Ma Shanpao's ear and scolded, "All you know is how to eat! Didn't you hear the battalion commander say that ammunition is in short supply?"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Ma Shanpao immediately begged for mercy, and Gao Yanan then let go.

At this moment, Duanwu smiled and continued, "Everyone probably knows about the Fuyang County arsenal. We harassed it during the last attack on the Lingnan granary. It not only stores a large amount of Type 38 rifle ammunition, but also a lot of other weapons and ammunition. If we can take down this arsenal, our ammunition problem will be greatly alleviated!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately nodded in agreement:
"That's a great idea, Captain! We should have raided the Japanese arsenal in Fuyang County a long time ago."

But at this moment, Ma Ping'an said, "Captain, the Japanese armory in Fuyang County is definitely heavily guarded. If we want to take it down successfully, we need to plan carefully. Besides, we attacked the Fuyang County armory last time, although it was just a feint. The Japanese have definitely strengthened their defenses, so it might not be easy to make a move!"

Duanwu nodded and said, "You're right, so we need to come up with a detailed plan. First, send someone to Fuyang County to scout out the number of troops guarding the armory, their firepower, and the surrounding terrain."

"I'm willing to lead a reconnaissance team!"

Ma Hu was the first to volunteer to go and investigate.

Duanwu nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, Brother Ma will lead the men to investigate. Make sure you find out the situation within three days and report back to me."

"Yes, Captain!"

Ma Hu accepted the order and prepared to leave. But unexpectedly, Tang Jiujiu suddenly said, "Dabing, I haven't been out in a long time, shall we go?"

Ma Ping'an quickly stopped him, saying, "This is absolutely unacceptable."

He was worried about the safety of the two of them.

But Duanwu felt that this was indeed the case. Tang Jiujiu was originally a young lady from a wealthy family. It was bad enough that she had followed him to this remote mountain village to suffer, but now she had almost no freedom at all.

Besides, it's just a reconnaissance mission; there won't be any danger. Moreover, I'm here too.

So he said, "Alright, this time, I'll go with Ninth Sister, and the rest of you will stay behind to guard against the Japanese."

"Okay!"

Tang Jiujiu jumped up with joy.

Duanwu, Tang Jiujiu, and Arou disguised themselves and quietly left the Anti-Japanese Brigade's camp, riding towards Fuyang County.

Throughout the journey, Tang Jiujiu chattered incessantly like a cheerful little bird, brimming with excitement about the trip. As for the mission and dangers, she didn't give them a second thought. With Duanwu by her side, what danger could she possibly face?

Duanwu was naturally very vigilant, but he didn't sense any danger. Arou, carrying her hunting rifle which looked like a small cannon, followed behind the two like a guard, occasionally glancing around, but like Duanwu, she didn't find anything unusual.

Little did they know that seven or eight pairs of eyes were watching them intently from the mountain five kilometers away.

These Japanese soldiers belonged to the Special Higher Police, and they had already figured out the security perimeter of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, which was within a five-kilometer radius of the brigade.

As long as they don't step into this area, they are safe, and with the help of their high-powered binoculars, they can monitor the Anti-Japanese Brigade's every move from a distance.

"Captain, they've set out. It looks like they're heading towards Fuyang County."

A Japanese spy asked the squad leader beside him in a low voice.

The Japanese squad leader squinted, carefully observing the figures of Duanwu and his companions through his binoculars. A sinister smile crept across his lips: "Hmph, these anti-Japanese elements are indeed making moves. Pass the word down to follow them from a distance and see what they're up to. Remember, don't alert them. Report to the Special Higher Police Headquarters immediately."

"Hi!"

The Japanese agents received the order and quickly reported the matter to the Special Higher Police station in Chuncheng via radio.

Meanwhile, in the Special Higher Police office at Chuncheng Station, Kitahara Masaki sat at his desk, holding a pen in his hand, staring intently at the infiltration plan report on the table.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A Japanese spy rushed in, panting, and said, "Reporting to the station chief, news has come from the direction of Fuyang County that three members of the Anti-Japanese Brigade have disguised themselves and are heading towards Fuyang County. It seems they have an important operation!"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Orthodox's eyes lit up instantly, and an excited expression appeared on his face. He abruptly stood up, placed his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and asked eagerly, "Is the information reliable? How many of them are there exactly, and what weapons are they carrying?"

The Japanese agent quickly replied, "The information is absolutely reliable. It was witnessed by an agent lurking near the anti-Japanese brigade. So far, only three people have been spotted, two women and one man, all in disguise. However, judging from their demeanor and equipment, they should be important figures in the anti-Japanese brigade. As for weapons, we only saw one woman carrying a hunting rifle, and the other two did not appear to be carrying any obvious weapons."

Kitahara Orthodox's lips curled up into a smug smile: "Hmph, they're not going to fight, they're going to scout. And in the direction of Fuyang County, there's an Imperial Army armory. I'm afraid these rebels will be eyeing the armory again."

He quickly walked to the map beside him, carefully examined the terrain around Fuyang County, and kept thinking of countermeasures.

A moment later, he turned to the Japanese agent and ordered, "Immediately notify the agents in the Fuyang County area to prepare. Our 'Dragon Slaying Plan' is about to begin. This is a major undertaking, personally overseen by headquarters. If they mess it up, I'll hold them accountable!"

"Hi!"

The Japanese agent, having received his orders, was about to turn and leave when Kitahara Masaki suddenly called out to him, "Wait!"

Kitahara Orthodox's eyes gleamed with cunning as he continued, "Send another telegram to the garrison in Fuyang County, informing them of the situation and instructing them to cooperate with the Special Higher Police. This is headquarters' highest order. If anything goes wrong, they'll all be dead!"

"Yes, Station Master!"

The Japanese agent, having received his orders once again, hurriedly left the office.

Kitahara Orthodontist sat back down in the chair, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and smiled confidently.

He could almost see the successful execution of the Dragon Slaying Plan, wiping out the entire anti-Japanese brigade!
