Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

At the same time, the Special Higher Police station in Chuncheng received an encrypted telegram.

The spies in the communications section dared not be negligent, and even though the section chief, Kitahara Orthodox, was resting, they still woke him up.

Kitahara Orthodox shook his head to clear his mind and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The communications officer immediately delivered a telegram: "It has been confirmed that the person who infiltrated Fuyang County is none other than Qi Dabing, the captain of the Anti-Japanese Brigade. The other woman is someone no one recognizes. She is a complete stranger. But it is clear that she also knows martial arts."

Kitahara Orthodontics countered, "Were they heading to Fuyang Town for the armory?"

The Japanese agent from the communications section nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, sir. So what should we do next? The Fuyang County arsenal stores nearly forty tons of weapons and ammunition. If the anti-Japanese brigade succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable. Should we report this news to the Chuncheng Command immediately?"

Kitahara Orthodox quickly waved his hand and said, "No, this matter concerns the Dragon Slaying Plan. By the way, any news about the Hell Butterfly?"

The Japanese soldier in the communications section shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Kitahara Orthodontist commanded in an unquestionable tone, "Remember, we only obey Hell Butterfly's orders. We don't concern ourselves with anything else. Let the Chuncheng Command handle the Fuyang County arsenal matter themselves! The arsenal is theirs; if they can't manage it, what's it to us?"

"Hi!"

The Japanese spies in the communications section were ordered to pretend the telegram never existed. Because right now, the entire Special Higher Police station in Chuncheng was focused on Operation Dragon Slaying; everything else was secondary.

···········
The following day at noon, the soldiers of Chunjianghao Team One and Two, led by Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao, finally arrived in Fuyang County to meet up with Duanwu.

The soldiers looked exhausted, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and many had blisters on their feet, making every step extremely difficult.

They walked more than 100 kilometers in less than a day, which was almost the limit of what the human body could endure.

Looking at these exhausted soldiers, Duanwu felt a pang of heartache and immediately ordered them to rest on the spot.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, some leaning against tree trunks, others lying directly on the grass, panting heavily.

Duanwu led Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao into the cave. The three sat together, and Duanwu's expression immediately became serious: "Captain Long, Captain Ma, the situation is urgent, so I'll get straight to the point. We must take over the Japanese armory tonight, lest things get complicated."

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao nodded at the same time.

But Ma Shanpao still asked, "Commander, although I also think the sooner we attack, the better, I feel like you're in a hurry. Why is that?"

Duanwu chuckled and recounted how he had knocked out a Japanese soldier the night before, dressed in Japanese clothes, and wandered around the Japanese armory.

Ma Shanpao and Long Qianyan suddenly realized that they had been wondering why the battalion commander seemed to be in such a hurry; he was afraid the Japanese soldiers would realize what was going on.

But he was overthinking it. Coincidentally, the Japanese soldier who went out to urinate had a habit of sleepwalking.

Although he felt some pain in the back of his neck, it wasn't the first time this had happened, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He went on guard duty as usual the next day.

The Japanese officer on patrol during the Dragon Boat Festival didn't notice anything amiss. He was sleeping during the day and only on duty at night.

So at this time, everything in the Japanese armory was as usual.

But he dared not gamble during the Dragon Boat Festival; the matter remained an uncertainty in his mind.

Duanwu frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart like vines. The Japanese soldier he had knocked unconscious was like a bomb that could explode at any moment, making him hesitant to gamble on this uncertain factor.

However, attacking the Japanese armory during the day would undoubtedly greatly increase the casualties of the soldiers.

After a long while, Duanwu finally took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

He turned to Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao and said, "You know what's going on. I'm really worried. I'm going into the city now to keep an eye on the Japanese. If anything unusual happens, I'll signal you immediately."

Long Qianyan thought for a moment and said, "Captain, this method is feasible. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. However, if the Japanese really discover something, you will be in danger when you enter the city! Why don't I go with Ma Shanpao?"

Ma Shanpao chimed in, "Yes, yes, Long Qianyan and I will go in to scout. Captain, don't look down on us, we're old scouts."

But Duanwu shook his head and said, "I have been to Fuyang County before and I am familiar with the situation there, so I will go instead. You just need to wait here and let the soldiers get some rest."

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao thought about it and agreed with what the captain said, so they nodded at the same time.

"Big Soldier, you're going into town again? I want to go too! Yesterday I went to Chairman Wang's house, but I didn't buy anything!"

Just then, upon hearing that they were going to the city for the Dragon Boat Festival, Tang Jiujiu skipped and hopped over like a happy little deer.

Looking at Tang Jiujiu's expectant eyes, Duanwu couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

Yesterday he was so focused on his mission that he didn't even take her to the market.

Moreover, nothing major is happening today. We just need to keep an eye on the city and see if there are any unusual occurrences.

Duanwu smiled slightly, revealing a doting smile, and said, "Okay, I'll go shopping with you today."

At this moment, Li Xiaolian, who had been quiet all along, suddenly came up and said, "Brother Soldier, I want to go too."

Duanwu's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. He shook his head and said, "Xiaolian, you can't go. You have no combat experience, and this trip into the city is fraught with danger. It's not like you're really going shopping! So you should stay here with Captain Long and Captain Ma; that's the safest way!"

After saying that, Duanwu turned to Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao and formally introduced them: "Captain Long, Captain Ma, this is Li Xiaolian. Yesterday, Ninth Sister and I rescued her from the home of the traitor Chairman Wang. Please take good care of her!"

"Yes!"

Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao accepted the order.

But at this moment, Li Xiaolian bit her lip, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

But she still nodded obediently: "Brother Soldier, I'll listen to you, I'll stay here and behave myself."

"kindness!"

Duanwu nodded, and at this moment Tang Jiujiu affectionately took Duanwu's arm and said, "Dabing, let's go quickly, I can't wait! I haven't bought new clothes in so long."

Duanwu smiled helplessly, led Tang Jiujiu out of the cave, and headed towards Fuyang County.

But today, they had changed their attire. Although they still identified themselves as merchants, they had changed their clothes and accessories to avoid being recognized at a glance! (End of Chapter)
