Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Uchida snorted coldly and turned away. Although he gave up on continuing the interrogation, he did not let his guard down at all.

After he left the interrogation room, Uchida immediately summoned his men and whispered, "From now on, increase security at the hospital, especially in Shadow's ward. Add two more people, two to guard the door and two to guard under the back window, to prevent Shadow from escaping using ropes or something."

At this point, Uchida thought for a moment and then said, "Also, send someone to keep a close eye on that Li Ru. We can't let his every move slip by."

The Japanese spies accepted the order and quickly arranged for manpower. Soon, many suspicious figures appeared in the hospital.

As Li Ru stepped out of the interrogation room, he sensed the unusual atmosphere around him.

Looking at the newly added Japanese spies, Li Ru knew that Uchida had not given up his suspicions about him. At this moment, he was probably under the surveillance of the Japanese, and if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

So he could only pray silently that the organization would pass the intelligence to the Anti-Japanese Brigade as soon as possible, so that the Anti-Japanese Brigade could find a solution on its own.

Meanwhile, at the anti-Japanese brigade's base, Ma Ping'an was receiving intelligence from the organization:
"Cobra is under surveillance. Urgent intelligence has been sent: a severely injured girl named Shadow is being held in ICU 302 on the third floor of the Matsubara Japanese Army Hospital."

The Japanese army intended to use this person as leverage to lure and kill Duanwu!

Upon seeing this, Ma Ping'an immediately took the telegram to find Duanwu.

At this moment, Duanwu was in his dormitory talking to Tang Jiujiu about something.

Tang Jiujiu was a little worried, but she also wanted to go with Duanwu. However, she was now pregnant and her movements were not as good as before.

So all she could do was tell Duanwu to be extra careful.

Just then, Ma Ping'an knocked on the door and came in.

When Duanwu saw that Ma Ping'an was holding a piece of paper, he knew that the information he needed had been found.

Ma Pingan handed the intelligence to Duanwu, who took it and eagerly began to read it.

After reading it, Duanwu nodded. Because the shadow really was in the hands of the Japanese.

Although he didn't expect this, confirming this information was extremely important to him.

After a moment's thought, Duanwu said, "The only way forward is for me to rescue them and thwart the Japanese plot. Otherwise, when it comes to the martial arts competition, we'll be forced to act cautiously and be on the defensive at every turn!"

Ma Ping'an said with some concern, "This is a bit risky. Since the Japanese have set up this trap, they must have taken precautions. If you go alone, wouldn't you be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?"

Duanwu laughed and said, "Now, only I can leave the base without anyone noticing. This matter cannot be known to the Japanese spies lurking inside or outside the Anti-Japanese Brigade. Once they find out, no matter how many of us go, we won't be able to save anyone. The Japanese spies will transmit the message to the Japanese in Songyuan via radio."

But Ma Ping'an still said with some concern, "If that doesn't work, then kill all these Japanese spies to prevent future troubles."

Duanwu shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet. I still need to use these people to catch bigger fish. The Japanese have planted so many spies among us to find out our secrets and wipe us out in one fell swoop. If I kill these spies now, it will surely alert them. Besides, if we need to rescue people, I alone am enough. More people will only make it easier to expose our position."

At this point, Duanwu thought for a moment before saying, "During my absence, no one must know that I have left the Anti-Japanese Brigade's base. You are responsible for arranging everything and keeping the news under wraps. If word gets out, that would be real danger for me."

Seeing that Duanwu was determined, Ma Ping'an knew that further persuasion would be useless, so he could only nod in agreement and begin to arrange related matters to ensure that Duanwu's actions would not be detected by the enemy.

···········
Meanwhile, Duanwu went alone to the wooden hut where two traitors who had delivered the declaration of war were being held.

The cabin was located in a relatively secluded corner on the north side of the camp. Surrounded by dense trees, the cabin was easily hidden and difficult to spot without careful searching.

This is where the intelligence department is located.

To prevent spies from infiltrating the anti-Japanese brigade, Jiang Li specifically chose this remote location.

In this way, as long as someone with ulterior motives approaches the intelligence department, Jiang Li can easily identify who the spy is.

Therefore, precisely because of this identity, Li Xiaolian and other Japanese spies wouldn't come to her casually.
Only then did Duanwu feel relieved enough to imprison the two traitors here.

Duanwu knocked on the door, three times intermittently followed by one long knock. Someone inside opened the bolt, and Duanwu went in.

Upon seeing that it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the other party immediately saluted.

Duanwu nodded, then turned his gaze to the northwest corner of the wooden house, where two traitors, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, were squatting obediently on the ground.

On the east side of the cabin were two soldiers from the intelligence department.

One of them opened the door for Duanwu, and then stood behind Duanwu and said, "Captain, these two lads are quite well-behaved. We gave them two steamed buns for lunch and they ate them."

"kindness!"

Duanwu nodded again, then walked up to the two traitors, looked down at them, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to live or die?"

Upon hearing this, the two traitors froze, as if they had been electrocuted.

They looked up at Duanwu with horrified eyes, their mouths slightly open, but they couldn't say a word for a moment.

After a moment, the tall traitor was the first to react. He immediately knelt on the ground, repeatedly clasping his hands and pleading, "We want to live! We want to live! Sir, spare our lives! We don't want to die! We were forced into becoming traitors by the Japanese devils; we had no other choice!"

Seeing this, the short traitor also quickly knelt down, his head banging on the ground repeatedly, saying, "I want to live, I want to live, sir, have mercy!"

Looking at their cowardly and fearful appearance, Duanwu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.

He slowly squatted down and said in a gentle voice, "That's good. I really like smart people. So from now on, do as I say and you will live; otherwise, you will only face death."

Upon hearing this, the two traitors nodded hastily, as if they had grasped at the last straw.

The tall traitor quickly pledged his loyalty, saying, "Sir, whatever you need, just give the order, and we will do it without hesitation. We would never dare to disobey in the slightest."

The short traitor chimed in, "Yes, yes, we'll do whatever the officer tells us to do. As long as we can live, we'll do anything!"

Duanwu nodded slightly, because the other party was very pragmatic, which made things much easier.

Of course, if the other party doesn't know what's good for them, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.

Unfortunately, he didn't even have a chance to act before the two traitors chickened out! (End of Chapter)
