Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3004 Kujo Miyamoto is obsessed with winning!

Meanwhile, inside Songyuan City.

Li Ru was awakened early in the morning by urgent knocking on the door.

He opened the door, and a Japanese soldier stood in the doorway, saying in broken Chinese, "Dr. Li, orders from above: all doctors must return to the hospital immediately and be on standby 24 hours a day."

Li Ru asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there going to be another war?"

The Japanese soldier retorted impatiently, "Stop arguing, hurry up. Are you trying to spy on the Imperial Army?"

Li Ru quickly replied, "No, no!"

He quickly dressed and followed the Japanese soldiers back to the Japanese hospital.

At this time, the Japanese hospitals were under martial law, and people were allowed to enter and leave at will.

Li Ru felt that if he asked others, not only would they be suspected, but he would also most likely not get any information at all.

So he went directly to the dean's office.

Upon seeing the Japanese dean, Li Ru eagerly asked, "Dean, is another major battle about to begin? Why are we on standby even before the fighting has started? Now we're not even allowed to go home."

The Japanese dean sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "I don't know either, but the person who gave the order is someone we can't afford to offend. The higher-ups just told us to be prepared, but they haven't given us any details."

Upon hearing this, Li Ru frowned, because this was precisely the time when the anti-Japanese brigade urgently needed intelligence, but he was trapped in the Japanese hospital.

He tried to extract some useful information from the dean, but the dean knew nothing and just kept repeating the orders from above.

Time ticked by, and Li Ru felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the hospital.

He looked out the window at the Japanese soldiers coming and going, secretly plotting how to get out of his predicament and pass on intelligence to the anti-Japanese brigade.

At this time, the Japanese did not leave the city, but instead placed the entire city under martial law, which must mean they were planning something big.

But the hospital was full of Japanese soldiers, so how easy was it for him to get out?
Moreover, any unusual movement on his part could arouse suspicion, which would not only endanger his own life but also completely cut off the anti-Japanese brigade's intelligence source. Therefore, he could only endure it and try to obtain more valuable intelligence!

So he decided to start with some Japanese officers. He approached them under the pretense of making rounds and asking about their health conditions, listening to their conversations so that he could obtain information without them noticing.

Of course, this will be a long process.

Meanwhile, inside the Japanese military headquarters in Matsubara Castle, Kujo Miyamoto sat at the end of a long table, his brows furrowed, his gaze dark and menacing as he looked at the two people in front of him—Onizuka Yūmei and Maruyama.

“Onizuka-kun, Maruyama-kun,” Kujo Miyamoto finally broke the silence, repeating his previous words in a slow tone, “Our operation should have been flawless. But now, the main force of the anti-Japanese brigade seems to have vanished suddenly, and hasn’t shown up yet. Where do you think they are right now? What are they doing?”

Onizuka Yumei bowed slightly, his tone tinged with uncertainty, and said, "Kujo-kun, in my opinion, the Anti-Japanese Brigade may have already discovered our plan, and therefore chose to remain still, waiting for us to reveal a weakness."

Maruyama shook his head and retorted:
"Onizuka-kun, your guess makes sense, but I don't think the Anti-Japanese Brigade has the capability to know our action plan. The underground party organization was wiped out many years ago. It's impossible for them to still have a complete intelligence agency in Northeast China."

Moreover, we have been extremely cautious this time. From leaving Chuncheng, marching at night, to blockading Songyuan City, there's no way the news could have leaked out.

Upon hearing Maruyama's denial of his guess, Onizuka Yūmei's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and retorted:
"Maruyama-kun, you are underestimating the Anti-Japanese Brigade far too much. The fact that this brigade has survived our encirclement and suppression to this day and continues to grow stronger speaks volumes about its extraordinary abilities. It's not impossible that they might have learned about our plans for this operation through some channel."

Maruyama sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Onizuka-kun, you're too cautious. Every step of our operation, from planning to execution, has been kept strictly confidential. No matter how cunning those anti-Japanese elements are, they couldn't possibly have figured out our plan so easily."

I suspect they haven't reached the Da'an mine yet because the journey is too far. We just need to wait.

Onizuka Yumei frowned and retorted again, "Maruyama-kun, your guess is too subjective. I think we all know what kind of person the commander of the Anti-Japanese Brigade is. I believe that cunning Qi Dabing is definitely hiding somewhere watching us. As soon as we make a move, he will poke out like a venomous snake and bite us!"

Maruyama did not immediately refute this. Moreover, his expression gradually became serious.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "Onizuka-kun, your concerns are not without merit. But I believe we cannot afford to panic. Whatever the Anti-Japanese Brigade's plans, the advantage still lies with us."

"And didn't you bring some Shadow Wolf special forces soldiers? Let them go out of the city and do some reconnaissance. I think after two months of training, they should be much better than ordinary scouts, right?"

Onizuka Yumei nodded in agreement, saying, "Maruyama-kun is absolutely right. We should send scouts out of the city to take a look. If the anti-Japanese brigade is heading towards the Da'an mine, we should be able to get news from here soon."

Hearing this, Kujo Miyamoto nodded and said, "Onizuka-kun, Maruyama-kun, your ideas are both very good. We can never be too careful with the Anti-Japanese Brigade, this resistance force."

From now on, we must take a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, strengthen control within the city and guard against enemy spies passing intelligence to the anti-Japanese brigade.

On the other hand, we must strengthen intelligence gathering and ascertain the exact location of the anti-Japanese brigade as soon as possible. Only in this way can we remain invincible in this struggle.

"Yes!"

Onizuka Yūmei and Maruyama responded in unison, then turned and left to carry out their respective orders.

Kujo Miyamoto sat back down in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, a sinister glint in his eyes.

Because he knew that this contest had only just begun, and that the anti-Japanese brigade would inevitably fall into his trap this time.

He had to win, no matter what, he had to win. He didn't care if his opponent was Qi Dabing, Ye Xiuwen, or Duanwu.

Moreover, he firmly believed that he could win. As long as he was cautious and patient enough, he would definitely find the weakness of the anti-Japanese brigade and then kill it with one blow!
