Chapter 28: Sima Road

"Me? Squad leader?'

'Yes! That's what Officer Tang meant.'

'But I don't know how to...'

'Who knows how to do anything right from the start? You'll learn as you go along!'

Li Boqi shrugged.

There was no room for discussion.

The personnel were directly assigned to Zhang Yong.

All of them were police academy graduates. There were 15 of them in total. They were divided into five groups. Each group had three people.

Together with Zhang Yong, there were 16 people in total. This was the configuration of a squad.

In terms of weapons, there were two Thompson submachine guns. The rest were Browning pistols. Each person also carried a grenade.

After all, they were catching Japanese spies, not fighting a war. There was no need for too much firepower.

'Team leader, I want five Thompsons,' Zhang Yong disagreed.

'What do you need so many for?' Li Boqi was puzzled.

'Report! What if we encounter another ambush by Japanese spies?'

'Approved!'

Li Boqi nodded.

He remembered the previous ambush on Cheng Guo. A whole squad had been almost completely wiped out.

Such a tragedy must not be repeated.

Especially not a precious gem like Zhang Yong. He must be protected carefully.

But protection is not like growing seedlings in a greenhouse. You have to do things. If you don't experience the wind and rain, how will you see the rainbow?

So the team was formed. Armed.

Soon, Zhang Yong met his men for the first time as squad leader.

Gather.

Feelings.

They were all young men.

He himself had only joined the Lixing Society ten days earlier.

'Everyone must be careful!'

'Don't rush up without my order. We'll use firepower to solve the problem.'

'Unless you want your families to wear mourning clothes.'

The opening remarks were concise.

Then he led the team off. To Si Ma Lu.

This was what Li Boqi had requested.

Starting with rectifying Si Ma Lu. First, the hidden Japanese people in Si Ma Lu would be dug up.

Si Ma Lu was a very special street. On the east side, almost all of it was cultural industry. There were a large number of bookstores. There were also newspapers and the like. The Shen Bao was also here.

There were also bookstores run by Japanese people. Their identities were all public. For the time being, they could be ignored.

What needs to be dealt with are the Japanese who are hiding their identities. Why are they hiding their identities? They are either crooks or thieves.

On the western side of Sima Road, there are old businesses that are still thriving. There are many streetwalkers. Once night falls, it is a scene of revelry and excitement, with people dressed up in their best clothes.

Of course, there are also many Japanese lurking in this place of filth and depravity. Get them all.

'Zhongyang!'

'Here!'

'Wu Liuji.'

'Present!'

Zhang Yong called out the two team leaders.

They were, without a doubt, the most experienced. They had previously participated in the encirclement and suppression of Japanese bandits.

Although it was a wild shooting, with no significant results, at least they had experience.

Zhang Yong had each team leader equipped with a Thompson.

In case they encountered Japanese resistance, they could just shoot. Kill on sight.

They arrived at Si Ma Lu.

Zhang Yong silently observed the radar map.

No red dots...

No red dots...

Unexpectedly, there are no hidden Japanese.

Until the Japanese newspaper office appears. There are Japanese people with public identities inside. Two red dots appear. That's right.

Okay. There may have been a slight error in the previous speculation.

Continue walking.

Suddenly, another red dot appears.

Check it silently. It turns out to be a hidden Japanese.

Good guy, there really is one.

The target is coming out of the newspaper office of Shen Bao. It seems to be a reporter?

He is carrying a camera on his back and riding a bicycle, passing by Zhang Chu and the others. He looks very natural. He even nods politely.

'Did you find anything wrong?' Zhang Yong asked Zhong Yang.

'No,' Zhong Yang shook his head.

Zhang Yong looked at Wu Liuqi again. As a result, Wu Liuqi also shook his head.

There is nothing wrong! It's just a reporter. On Shanghai Beach, such reporters are very common.

The only thing that was a bit special about him was the camera. It was a relatively precious object. If you bought it yourself, it would cost at least 300 silver dollars. The average person could never afford it.

Considering that Shen Bao was a very famous newspaper with a large circulation, it was only natural that he could afford a camera.

'Investigate his identity.' Zhang Yong didn't say anything more.

'Okay,' Zhong Yang immediately went to do it.

Soon afterwards, he returned with the target's information.

The reporter's name was Huang Yanfei. A very common name. He was an old reporter at Shen Bao.

'How long have you been working there?'

'More than eight years. I'll soon be nine years there.'

'I see.'

Zhang Yong nodded silently.

Not bad!

An old reporter who has been working at Shen Bao for more than eight years.

Who would have thought that he would actually be Japanese! He has been in hiding for more than eight years for this identity!

Awesome!

Impressive!

The patience of the Japanese is really something. Plan ahead for so long.

But for now, don't touch him.

First, we need to find out which group he belongs to. Is he in one of the six groups provided by Lin Xiaoyan?

Keep going.

Keep going until the end. No more discoveries.

Only one catch. But that's enough. Following this reporter's lead, there must be another bunch.

Return.

Start sweeping the western side of Sima Road.

When they saw Zhang Yong and the others arrive, the streetwalkers were all very enthusiastic.

'Hey, mister, come and play!'

'Hey, brother, come and play!'

'Hey, little brother, come and play!'

The sweet calls were so endearing that they made one's bones ache.

The group of police academy students couldn't help blushing. They had obviously never experienced anything like this before. But they couldn't help peeking.

Zhang Yong ignored them.

Food and sex are basic human needs. Every man has these needs.

What's more, after joining the military, they are not allowed to get married. In other words, there is no legal channel to resolve the situation. So they can only relieve their anger in their spare time.

Keep walking.

Suddenly, he spots a red dot. The red dot is rapidly approaching him.

He secretly raises his guard.

He gives Zhong Yang and Wu Liuqi a wink, and the two immediately spread out to either side, on full alert.

'Bastard! How dare you steal from me!'

'Bastard...'

Suddenly, there is an argument inside.

Then, two people came out of the room, fighting. They were followed by a few guards.

Zhang Yong's eyes were gloomy.

One of the red dots was precisely the party fighting.

It looked like a middle-aged man. He was refined and gentle. He was dressed quite decently. It seemed that he had quite a status.

The other party was quite thin and very agile.

'Arrest them!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

The crowd rushed up and caught both of them.

'He stole from me!'

'He stole my things!'

the decent middle-aged man cried anxiously, pointing a finger at the thin man.

Zhang Yong reached out and searched the thin man's body, finding a small cloth pocket. Inside were a dozen silver dollars. He reached out and tossed them.

'Mine!'

'Mine!'

the decent middle-aged man cried anxiously.

Zhang Yong reached out and handed the silver dollars to him. Suddenly he withdrew his hand.

'Mine...'

The middle-aged man tried to reach out to catch them, but ended up reaching empty-handed.

Zhang Yong's mouth curled up into a smile.

Japanese devils!

Still want to get the big silver back?

Dream on!

Not only will your big silver not go back, neither will you.

Waving his hand.

'Take it back!'

The crowd immediately bound the two men.

Before, they were simply held down. Now they were to be taken back. Then they would have to use force.

'Misunderstanding!'

'Misunderstanding!'

'I'm not...'

'You've got the wrong...'

The decent middle-aged man cried out anxiously. Then his mouth was gagged.

The skinny monkey seemed to want to resist. In the end, he didn't dare. He was obediently tied up. He was escorted back in a disciplined manner.

Back to the base.

Bell Yang and Wu Liuqi were ordered to imprison the two men separately.

Then they came to see Li Boqi. Report the corresponding situation.

'You caught one back so quickly?'

Li Boqi felt like he was looking at a monster.

Others say that thieves don't go empty-handed. You, Zhang Yong, are not a person who goes empty-handed!

No matter where you go, you can catch the Japanese spy. How long have you been gone? You've only dragged one back.

A Japanese person who has hidden their identity is quite interesting.

Waved his hand.

'Interrogate him yourself.'

'Ah? Interrogate myself?'

'Yes! You caught him yourselves! Interrogate him yourselves! This way you'll learn quickly!'

'Okay...'

Zhang Yong had no choice but to agree.

He immediately interrogated the middle-aged man.

There were some problems with the contract, and it was delayed. Alas,
