My spy diary

Chapter 552 Total Annihilation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, in the room where Zhang Yi and Li Mulin were, the chessboard had been removed, and several hand-drawn floor plans of the back alley of Guanlin Temple were spread on the table.

Li Mulin pointed to the location of the alley entrance on the paper and explained his plan to Zhang Yi: "The entrance to the bag is neither too big nor too small. Two people lying in ambush and keeping watch is enough. More than that would only alert the enemy."

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "The bag should be left open; they can lie in ambush on the roof."

Li Mulin pointed to another map: "This is the end of the alley. Two more people are hiding on the rooftops. Once a firefight breaks out, they can coordinate from both ends to cut off their escape route. And this one—"

He pulled over the third map: "This is the house next to No. 23 Courtyard, which is also a key area for our surveillance. There are four people on the roof, in this position and this position respectively. Once the guns are fired, this will be crossfire. There are also four people nearby who can move around and go to reinforce wherever there is a weakness."

With limited manpower, this was the only deployment option. Zhang Yi mentally calculated for a moment and added, "We also need to make arrangements on the walls of courtyard number 23. We can place booby traps or grenades, and also use them to lure the enemy."

Li Mulin immediately looked at the two deputy captains, Li Weizhang and Shen Zhongnian, his gaze lingering on their faces. After a moment, he said:
"You two are to arrange for two men to guard the door."

Li Weizhang and Shen Zhongnian exchanged a bitter smile, saying nothing. To put it nicely, this was called luring the enemy; to put it bluntly, it was suicide.

Li Mulin's face darkened: "Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Li Weizhang puffed out his chest. "To die for one's country on the battlefield is a soldier's honor."

That's too hypocritical. Zhang Yi waved his hand to interrupt him: "Alright, there are still three Japanese spies locked up in the backyard. There's no need for our own people to make unnecessary sacrifices for now."

Li Weizhang breathed a slight sigh of relief, his tone becoming more relaxed: "What does Director Zhang mean?"

Zhang Yi gave an irrelevant answer: "Let's go see them."

In the backyard, Sato Kenjiro and Zhang Xianmin, who had finished their meal, were handcuffed to chairs again. Zhang Yi looked at Sato Kenjiro and asked:

"Aren't you going to say anything?"

Sato Kenjiro avoided answering, only looking at him with amusement.

“If you’re caught, you have to accept your fate. Since you didn’t follow the rules, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” With that, Zhang Yi decisively drew his pistol, screwed on the silencer, placed the pistol against the butt of the gun, and without hesitation, fired a shot with a “bang.”

Sato Kenjiro was caught off guard and died with a gruesome expression.

"And you?" The gun was then pointed at Guan Ayue.

Guan Ayue remained unmoved, not even blinking.

Zhang Yi pulled the trigger expressionlessly, shooting Guan Ayue in the head, and blood splattered everywhere.

"And you?" Then the gun was pointed at Zhang Xianmin again.

I, Zhang Xianmin, looked up in horror, my face pale.

Zhang Yi, too lazy to waste words with him, gave the monkey a wink. The monkey understood and walked over, knocking Zhang Xianmin unconscious with a slap on the neck.

"Change his clothes, move him to the doorway, and let him be a door god for a day."

After giving his instructions, Zhang Yi glanced at his watch, estimating that it was about time, and ordered:

"That's enough, let's gather!"

"Yes."

Soon, everyone gathered in an empty room.

On the table were three floor plans that Zhang Yi had seen before. Monkey and Qian Xiaosan held down the corners of the papers and slowly unfolded the floor plans.

Zhang Yi stood at the head of the table, his sharp gaze sweeping over each of the plainclothes officers present, and said solemnly:

"The reason we're only talking about the details now is because everyone understands what we mean. Remember your tasks and keep your mouths shut."

Then, pointing to the location of courtyard number 23, he continued, "Tonight, we expect the Japanese spies lurking in Luoyang to launch a surprise attack on us."

The plainclothes officers listened quietly.

"Whether they are shrimp soldiers or crab generals, the principle tonight is to kill them all. It would be best to capture them alive, but if that's not possible, kill them without mercy."

He looked at Li Mulin and gestured to him: "You handle the details."

"Yes." Li Mulin followed Zhang Yi's words: "Japanese spies aren't pushovers, and their weapons aren't just for show. The Japanese are always good marksmen, brothers, we must be careful. Keep your eyes wide open and guard your positions. Li Weizhang"

"We've said everything we need to say. Although it's an ambush, we can't be careless. Until the military police headquarters arrives, we can only rely on ourselves. Everyone, cheer up! Those who are tired, wash your faces with cold water and bring out the spirit you'd have when you're getting married!"

All members of the action team immediately became serious.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

There was a knock on the window of the car Yu Fu was riding in. He glanced at his watch, immediately opened the door and got out.

The one knocking on the window was a hedgehog. Seeing Yu Xiong get off the bus, he immediately leaned over and whispered:

“Akita-kun, we’ve searched the back alley of Guanlin Temple and several nearby streets, but there’s no ambush.”

He pointed towards the alley entrance: "That's where the target is. There are guards outside the gate, and I saw the glow of a cigarette butt."

"Keep a few eyes on the street, don't let people crowd around," Yu Fu whispered in his ear.

"It's been left at every intersection. Don't worry."

Fish Belly's face was expressionless. He paused for a moment and said, "Our main target tonight is Zhang Yi. As for Sato and the others, we should save them if we can. We must not put the cart before the horse."

"If we take down Zhang Yi, will we still have enough time and strength?" Hedgehog raised an eyebrow at him.

“Sato-kun is incompetent. He didn’t even have the courage to commit suicide after falling into enemy hands. Since that’s the case, I don’t mind sending him on his way.”

The hedgehog immediately understood: "Hey!"

"Let's go see our warriors."

The hedgehog led the way, and the two of them turned into a small alley and entered a courtyard.

The entire courtyard was unusually quiet; apart from the sounds of the wind and rain, there wasn't a single extra sound, and the atmosphere was eerily silent.

In the largest dormitory room, there were about twenty or thirty plainclothes officers, some sitting, some standing, some cleaning guns, some dozing off, some sleeping, and some chatting.

Without exception, everyone was armed.

Although there were many people, it wasn't noisy or bustling. If you didn't get close, it would be hard for outsiders to notice that so many people had gathered here.

When the courier Hedgehog walked in with the fish belly, everyone stood up. There was a rustling sound in the room, filled with a restless atmosphere.

Seeing this, the fish belly smiled with satisfaction and waved its hand, saying:

"sit down."

"Yes." The agents all sat down.

Yu Fu paused for a moment, then said, "First, announce an order: Sato-kun has been arrested, and I have been appointed head of the Luoyang Special Service Agency." Upon hearing this, the agents all stood up.

Yu Fu waved his hand: "Sit down."

The agents sat down again.

"Tonight, I, Akita Shunsui, will lead you to attack the Military Intelligence Bureau's safe house, kill the Chinese Zhang Yi, avenge General Yoshikawa, and complete Sato-kun's unfinished work! The Emperor will surely prevail."

"The Emperor will surely win."

"set off!"

After saying that, Yu Fu took the pistol and walked out first.

Hedgehog and quail followed closely behind, and the other agents followed in single file.

On the street, two mice that had gone out to forage for food had never seen such a scene before, and they scurried around screaming.

Soon, the group appeared at the entrance of the back alley of Guanlin Temple.

Yu Fu stood at the alley entrance, looking into the depths of the alley, where it led into unknown darkness.

Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand, and pairs of agents wearing cloth shoes immediately crouched down and tiptoed into the alley.

Before long, they had quietly arrived near Compound No. 23.

Just then, a spy pointed out that there was a person leaning against the gate, who seemed to be a guard. Hedgehog looked at him intently and made a gesture to the spy.

The agent nodded and reached into his pocket. Suddenly, he lunged forward, covering the guard's mouth while swiftly slashing his throat with a knife, pinning him to the ground. Immediately afterward, the other agents surrounded him.

The agent closest to the door, gun in hand, silently approached the door, pressed his ear against it to listen, then looked back at Hedgehog. Seeing Hedgehog nod, he took a step back, preparing to break down the door.

Beside him, Quail wasn't idle either. He stepped on the "framework" formed by the crossed hands of his two underlings and leaped onto the top of the wall. Then, he suddenly froze, because he realized that his hands seemed to have grabbed some thin rope.

Before he could react, he heard a "click" from inside the wall, and the agent who had dragged him up the wall screamed like a madman: "Grenade! Grenade!"

The quail looked closely but found nothing.

With a "bang," the door burst open, and Hedgehog and his agents swarmed in.

Then, boom—!

Suddenly, a bright flash of fire appeared on the wall where the quail was, followed by a deafening explosion and screams. A charred hole was blasted through the wall, and bricks and hot fragments flew everywhere.

Hidden behind the agents, Yu Fu Huo suddenly stood up, his face grim: "What's going on? Where did these grenades come from? Did the Military Intelligence Bureau lay an ambush?"

"I don't know," said one of the agents next to him, looking equally bewildered.

"Idiot! Such a loud explosion will attract the military police and regular police. We must rush in immediately, every second counts, and finish this quickly!" Fish Belly gripped his pistol and charged forward, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

The ground was a mess after the explosion. He finally managed to wade through and was about to order the agents to follow him inside when suddenly, gunshots rang out from all directions.

At this moment, lights came on in all directions of the No. 23 compound. Hedgehog, leading the first agents who rushed into the compound, was terrified and instinctively retreated into the shadows against the wall. They were stunned and didn't know whether to go in or back.

Upon seeing this scene, Yu Fu, who had just rushed through the gate, turned pale. He looked at the agents who were exchanging bewildered glances and asked loudly, "Where is Kameda-kun?"

He was met with silence.

Seeing that no one answered, he yelled, "Baka! Follow me and charge in!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than, as if in response, someone in the backyard shouted loudly in Japanese, "I am Sato Kenjiro, Zhang Yi has been shot, quick!"

Then, a gunshot rang out.

Now, without the fish belly urging them on, the clueless Japanese spies rushed toward the source of the shouts.

"Baka! No, that's not Sato-kun's voice!" Uobu panicked completely. He realized the situation was out of his control, and the screech of brakes came from outside. He immediately shouted, "This is a trap! Retreat!"

With a "bang," a bullet flew over and hit a spy next to Yu Fu, instantly splattering a cloud of blood mist, and he fell to the ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The agents fought back fiercely, retreating as they fought.

As soon as everyone stepped out of the gate, a secret agent rushed over in a panic: "Chief, there are people everywhere outside, and we're blocked in front and behind."

Upon hearing this, Yu Fu's face turned deathly pale.

At this moment, several trucks stopped abruptly in front of and behind Guanlin Temple alley, and squads of fully armed military police quickly got out of the trucks and immediately took control of the alley.

"Chief, in a narrow encounter, the brave prevail. As long as we can kill Zhang Yi, it's all worth it. Give the order!" Hedgehog, his ear pierced by a hail of bullets and his face covered in blood, said, baring his teeth.

“You’re right. Although we’ve been ambushed, there are clearly very few people inside. As long as we rush in, we can definitely kill Zhang Yi, the culprit.” Yu Fu thought for a moment and then decisively waved his hand. “Come with me and rush in. Kill him at all costs.”

Suddenly, the sound of a bullet being chambered came from the darkness, and the agents followed Yu Fu all the way to the backyard.

However, at that moment, all the lights in the yard suddenly went out.

Fish Belly was stunned, his mind blank. The spies also froze, standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

The next moment, the roar of cars resumed, and with a whoosh, the headlights of all four trucks blazed on, the blinding white light shining from both ends of the alley. The spies, who hadn't yet entered the courtyard, were instantly exposed to the glare. Like mice encountering a cat, they scurried into the courtyard in a panic.

But the next moment, flashlights shone from all four directions of the courtyard roof, shining in the same direction, illuminating Yu Fu and all the secret agents.

Then, Li Mulin's loud and clear voice rang out: "I am Li Mulin, deputy station chief of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Yuzhou Station. I now order you to immediately lay down your weapons and surrender! I repeat, immediately lay down your weapons and surrender!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the hedgehog fired a shot in the opposite direction of the sound. Fish Belly didn't have time to stop it before the gun went off.

The gunshot was like lighting a fuse, and gunfire erupted from all directions in an instant.

"bang bang bang bang"

One after another, Japanese spies fell.

At this moment, Akita Shunsui of the Fish Belly was utterly desperate.

Before long, the gunfire in the courtyard gradually subsided, the smoke slowly dissipated, revealing a scene of utter devastation.

A large number of the agents' corpses lay scattered and piled up in the courtyard, like dominoes swept by a strong wind, falling to the ground one by one, never to make a sound again.

Yu Fu Qiutian Chunshui, his face covered in blood, was all alone. He was trapped in the same spot, surrounded by military intelligence and gendarmes on all sides, while his entire army had been wiped out.

Under the bright light, Zhang Yi and his group walked towards him. Li Mulin scrutinized him for a few moments, a look of surprise on his face:
"Director Xiao, you're also a Japanese spy?"

Only then did he realize that the man was Xiao Rui, the director of the war zone's confidential office.

Xiao Rui looked up and smiled meaningfully.
