Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 292 Are the Rebels Really This Rampant?
"With this kind of scum as a teammate, even if the Military Intelligence Bureau has heroes and good men, they can't withstand being betrayed by this kind of person. How can we fight against the Japanese devils and traitors like this?"

There's a saying that goes something like this: the world is a giant makeshift stage, and many people are playing the role of idiots in it.

He felt that this terrible teammate was definitely one of those "many people"!
Before entering the house, his ears suddenly twitched, and he shoved the middle-aged man to the ground, yelling, "Don't look up, or I'll kill you!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the two men who were not friendly and kicked them both without saying a word.

'Clang~~'

The two men were sent flying backward, smashing the tables and chairs to pieces.

This commotion was quite loud, alarming the people inside. Cao Weida even heard the screams of the women inside, and there was more than one woman!
Upon seeing this, Cao Wei Da secretly shook his head. Damn it, we're in enemy-occupied territory now, and these people are engaging in lewd acts in broad daylight in their houses.
They really know how to enjoy life!
Inside, there was the rustling sound of clothes being put on, followed by the sound of bullets being chambered.

Cao Wei Da ignored them.

Just before they came out, Cao Weida suddenly narrowed his eyes, strode forward, and kicked both of them in the back.

He came in wearing a hat with the brim pulled low. The two men immediately wanted to see what he looked like. After being kicked away, they didn't fight back or back down. Instead, they turned around to try and see his face more clearly.
This behavior is not what a normal undercover agent should do. Why are the two henchmen so desperate to see the face of the person who came to make contact?

This is more like someone who has already betrayed their cause and wants to remember the face of their contact to claim credit and a reward!
The two men's eyes widened, and they spat out a mouthful of blood. They struggled slightly, but it was all in vain. Their eyes remained wide open, and they fell silent on the spot.

Before the people inside came out, Cao Weida turned around and walked straight out of the house.

He didn't want to associate with such people; he was afraid they would swindle him out of his life!

From the moment he pushed the middle-aged man aside to the moment he killed the two henchmen, the entire process took less than five seconds. Before the people inside came out, he had already quickly left the room.

When the men inside cautiously emerged with guns, they saw their two henchmen lying dead in a pile of rubble, their eyes widening in shock.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man lying on the ground, too ashamed to raise his head, he hissed, "Who did this?!"

The middle-aged man then dared to raise his head, looked around nervously, and stammered, "Meet the contact person."

The man who came out changed his expression. Had the contact person betrayed them?!

Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly came. Judging from the footsteps, there were definitely no fewer than twenty people coming!

His expression changed instantly, and he immediately realized that it wasn't that the contact person had betrayed them, but that they had already been exposed!

Fortunately, Cao Weida had locked the door when he came in, giving them some time to escape.

A loud banging came from the door, and the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, we've been exposed!"

The person who came out cursed under his breath, "Did I need you to remind me?!"

"Go through the back door!"

Before leaving, he went back into the house and fired a series of shots at the women who had been summoned to the secret passage, killing them all. Only then did he escape with the middle-aged man through the secret passage.

Just as they entered the secret passage, the door was slammed open with a bang. Unfortunately, they were too late, and all that remained was a glimpse of their backs before they disappeared into the passage.

"Chase them! The exit must be nearby. Search them!"

They definitely wouldn't dare go into the secret passage; who knows if there were any bombs planted inside?

"You two stay here and guard the area!" The leader ordered the two men to stay behind, and then led the remaining twenty-odd men out of the courtyard to search the surrounding area.

No sooner had they left than the remaining agents were killed by two darts thrown by Cao Weida, who had taken cover.

"Damn it, this is insane!" Cao Weida cursed under his breath, pulled the two darts off the corpse, and kicked the body aside.

He definitely wouldn't put it away; he didn't want these spies to associate him with the missing people.

Although he didn't have a good impression of these Kuomintang agents, after all, they almost killed Liu Rusi.

But since it was during the War of Resistance against Japan, we still had to help them.

With a wave of his hand, a face curtain appeared in his palm.

He covered his face, leaped onto the roof, and a heavy machine gun appeared immediately afterward.

As the sun set, the light dimmed slightly.

The surrounding courtyards were filled with violent intruders, including secret agents and Japanese soldiers, all looking fierce and menacing, searching everywhere with guns in hand.

Two minutes later, the sound of heavy machine guns suddenly rang out from the city gate.

At a distance of fifty meters, Cao Weida suddenly made his move. The excited agents and Japanese soldiers didn't even have time to react. In just five seconds, about ten of them were shot dead.

"Watch out! Heavy machine gun!"

The agent leading the team broke out in a cold sweat, hiding in a corner and trembling, not daring to even look at the scene.

It was so close! Just a hair's breadth away! The bullet grazed his neck and ripped his subordinate's neck off, leaving him a bloody mess. The sight was absolutely horrific!
"Captain, are we being ambushed?! They've even brought out heavy machine guns!" A spy hiding next to him said, trembling with fear.

The captain glanced at the pistol in his hand, his eye twitched. A pistol against a heavy machine gun? How could he possibly shoot with his head?
"Damn it, we've definitely been ambushed!" His eyes darted to a person hiding in the alley across the street, a look of suspicion in them.

They had the intelligence and came to arrest the contact, but in the end they didn't catch him and were ambushed by heavy machine guns!
It should be noted that the Type 92 heavy machine gun weighs 27.6 kilograms unloaded and 27.7 kilograms on the gun mount, totaling 55.3 kilograms, more than 100 kilograms. How could such a heavy machine gun be readily available?

This was clearly something that had been prepared long ago!
Who would believe this wasn't an ambush?!

So, is it possible that this traitor from the Military Intelligence Bureau deliberately surrendered in order to lure them into the Military Intelligence Bureau's ambush zone?

But that doesn't make sense. If the other party did it on purpose, shouldn't they take advantage of the chaos to escape?
Despite thinking this way, the seed of doubt had already been planted in his heart.

On the roof.

Seeing that none of the remaining agents dared to show their faces, Cao Weida immediately put away the heavy machine gun and quickly left the scene.

On his way back, Cao Weida suddenly saw a familiar face—Kawamoto Yoshitaro, the head of the Bamboo Agency!
At this moment, Kawamoto Yoshitaro was sitting in a car when he saw Cao Wei Da, who was already in a bad mood. Well, he was in a bad mood anyway, so he thought, "Why don't I fire a burst of bullets?"

On the street, it's definitely not a good idea to pull out a heavy machine gun. Although there are few people around, it's easy to take it out, but once you fire it, the noise will be quite loud, and it will be difficult to put it away again.

He glanced around, then pulled out his StG44 assault rifle and opened fire on the moving car. "Baka! Have the rebels become this brazen?!"

The moment the gunshot rang out, Yoshitaro Kawamoto was shocked and instinctively slumped onto his seat.

As a result, he survived; bullets shattered the glass and rained down on the driver, turning him into a sieve.

The driver suddenly died, and the car, as if drunk, swayed from side to side a few times before crashing with a 'bang' into the corner of the alleyway.

Kawamoto Yoshitaro, his head bleeding from the impact, was terrified. He lay slumped in his seat, pulling out his tortoise shell from his waist, but dared not retaliate.

"Protect Lord Kawamoto!" Upon seeing that Kawamoto Yoshitaro's vehicle was under attack, the escorting cars immediately stopped and surrounded Kawamoto Yoshitaro's vehicle. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers immediately jumped out of the vehicles and returned fire in the direction of the shooting.

Meanwhile, Cao Weida had already left the original spot and headed towards Sesame Alley.

"Damn it, it must be the Kuomintang's assassination squad!"

Kawamoto Yoshitaro couldn't help but suspect that he had become the next target for the Military Intelligence Bureau's anti-traitor squad.

As for why we don't think it was done by the underground Communist Party.
Come on, how could the underground party members who were so poor they were urinating blood possibly have fully automatic firepower weapons!

Moreover, he suspected that his whereabouts had been betrayed by the moles in the Central Asian Academic Research Association!

He had just left the East Asian Academic Research Association when, less than five minutes later, he was assassinated by an unknown enemy.
Ever since the bamboo machine gun was ripped apart by heavy machine guns last time, he had suspected that he might be being targeted.

Therefore, his whereabouts have always been kept secret.

Nothing happened for so many days, so how come he was assassinated so soon after leaving the East Asian Academic Research Association?
Those who work as spies never believe in coincidences; someone must have betrayed his whereabouts!
His face darkened, and he growled through gritted teeth, "Investigate! Find out the truth! That damned mole, once you find him, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Unfortunately, he was wrong this time; it was all just a coincidence.

Who would have thought that Cao Wei Da, who was in a bad mood, happened to run into him on his way back. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to take the plunge and see what he could do.
Regardless of what Kawamoto Yoshitaro thought or how furious he was, he rushed home before dark.

After finishing his meal in a hurry, Cao Weida, unusually, did not go to the rooms of his concubines in order, but went directly to Liu Rusi's boudoir.

"Master" Liu Rusi carefully nudged Cao Weida's shoulder.

Cao Weida, with a stern face, was both angry and amused. He pulled her over and pressed her onto his lap, slapping her pert buttocks several times.

"You little fool, do you know that if I hadn't gone there, you would have fallen into their trap!"

Liu Rusi bit her rosy lower lip as she was beaten, letting out a few suggestive moans. She turned her head slightly, her eyes slightly intoxicated, alluring and seductive: "Master, I know I was wrong~~ Master, please punish me severely."

"."

Although Liu Rusi showed remorse and was cooperative, Cao Weida was not willing to let the matter rest.

The next day, just as Cao Weida was about to go to the district office to report for duty, he was about to go find Xu Jingge when Xu Jingge found him first.

Inside a courtyard house with one entrance.

Cao Weida pushed open the door to the room. Xu Jingge was writing and drawing something with his head down. When he looked up, he saw Cao Weida with an angry face.

Xu Jingge had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him enter, he was about to ask a question when Cao Weida spoke first:
"Hey Lieutenant Colonel Xu, do you guys in the Military Intelligence Bureau keep your word?! How can you go back on your word like this?!"

"What did you promise me before? You said you wouldn't let Liu Rusi get involved in your mess anymore, but what about now?!"

Cao Weida's tone was unfriendly, and Xu Jingge looked bewildered. "Brother Weida, please calm down. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Cao Weida lunged forward, gripping the edge of the table with both hands, and roared angrily:

"She went to meet someone near the Xingya Textile Company in Beiping yesterday, and was almost ambushed there by traitors and spies!"

"If I hadn't been worried and scouted the place beforehand, she would have been arrested by now!"

He stared at Xu Jingge and gritted his teeth, saying, "You promised me back then that Liu Rusi would only be my one-way liaison, and I would help you build an underground transportation network."

"Now that the transportation lines are almost complete, are you planning to discard us after we've served our purpose?!"

Upon hearing Cao Weida's description, Xu Jingge frowned and abruptly stood up, exclaiming, "What?! There's such a thing?!"

"What, you don't know?"

"Of course I don't know!" Xu Jingge said with certainty, "I, Xu Jingge, am a man of my word. What I say is what I say. How could I go back on my word?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Cao Weida didn't doubt the truthfulness of his words, because he knew that Xu Jingge wasn't that kind of person.

However, he was still angry, and he slammed his fist on the table, cursing:

"So someone in the upper echelons of the Military Intelligence Bureau is sabotaging this?"

"Damn it, these bastards are scum! Their words are like farts!"

"Tell the people above that if they dare to do it again, I'll go straight to that little devil Oda Ono and expose all the hidden communication lines and everything I know about the Military Intelligence Bureau!"

"Since I'm going to die anyway, I'd rather die than let the Military Intelligence Bureau get away with this!!"

Xu Jingge's eyelids twitched violently. He didn't think Cao Weida was just saying things out of anger. He also resented the leaders in the office who spoke so rudely!
They promised something, but then immediately went back on their word!

He is a person who values ​​promises very much, to the point of being somewhat obsessive about keeping them.

The promises were relayed through him to his superiors, and when they went back on their word, he lost face as well!

Feeling guilty, he quickly reached out and pressed his arm, offering words of comfort:
"Brother Wei Da, don't be angry. We were wrong this time. Fortunately, Liu Rusi escaped unharmed."

"I'm sorry for what I did. I promise you, this is the first time, and it will absolutely be the last!"

"If anything like this happens again, just tell me and I'll definitely help you solve it!"
