Chapter 279: Japanese ambush

Zhang Yong's expression did not change.

He was very patient.

Anyway, you can talk or you can keep quiet. He didn't care.

In fact, he didn't even need to get his hands dirty to catch the traitor. There were plenty of people who could do it. Catching Japanese spies was his forte.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Akita Ichiro still didn't say anything.

Zhang Yong turned around and left.

He didn't want to waste any more time talking to you.

Finally, Akita Ichiro spoke, 'I want to go abroad.'

Zhang Yong didn't turn around, 'Where?'

'America.'

'Why?'

'I want to go to America.'

Akita Ichiro didn't explain. He just kept repeating it.

Zhang Yong pursed his lips. Another person who wants to go to the beautiful country. As expected, the beacon country is attractive. This is also the case in later generations.

No matter how harsh the words, the feet are honest.

'Okay. But I suggest you go to Brazil.'

'No. I want to go to the United States.'

'Sooner or later, your country will go to war with the United States. When that happens, all of you Japanese will be sent to concentration camps.'

'Where did you hear that?'

'I suggest you go to Brazil. There are a lot of Japanese people there. You can blend in very well.'

'But there are no ships from Shanghai to Brazil.'

'Yes there are.'

'Can you get me a ticket?'

'Yes.'

'Then I'll tell you the name of the traitor when I board the ship.'

'No.'

'Why not?'

'What if you give me a false name? How will I catch you?'

'You don't trust me.'

'Do you trust me?'

There is silence.

No one trusts anyone else.

This is the fundamental reality. Neither side can trust the other.

'Do you have a wife and children?'

'No.'

'Then I can't trust you even more.'

'I...'

Ichiro Akita was silent.

Yes. He had no wife and no children. That meant he had no leverage.

Without leverage, the other party definitely wouldn't trust him. This was only natural. If he wanted the other party to trust him, he had to show sincerity.

'Then I'll give you another little secret. But it may not work.'

'Okay. Tell me.'

'I know a colleague called Kintaro Noya...'

'From the Aoi Agency?'

'I don't know which organisation he belongs to. But I know that he spends most of his time at the Tenryu Dojo.'

'Isn't the Kuai organisation responsible for tomb raiding?'

'Yes. But he spends most of his time at the Tenryu Dojo. You can find him there.'

'Okay. I'll come back after I find Kintaro Nogaya.'

Zhang Yong nodded.

For the first time, he had accurate information about Kintaro Nogaya. But it was not very useful.

Why?

Because the Tenryu Dojo was located in the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou District.

In other words, almost all of Kintaro's surroundings are Japanese. The Japanese marines are also stationed nearby.

It would be very difficult to eliminate Kintaro there.

The point is, there is no point in eliminating the opponent. The most important thing is to capture him and squeeze out the oil.

The financial chain of the Aoi Agency must be completely destroyed.

Without money, nothing will work. This is equivalent to paralysing the entire Aoi Agency. It may even affect other secret agencies.

'Yang Zhi!'

'Yes!'

'Get me some information on the Tianlong Martial Arts Dojo.'

'Yes!'

'And don't bother with the map.'

'Yes!'

Yang Zhi promised and left.

Zhang Yong returned to his office. He looked at the map on the wall.

This Hongkou Japanese-occupied area was quite large. There were also many Japanese in it. A conservative estimate was that there were already tens of thousands of them. Moreover, almost all of them were men.

When the 813 War of Resistance began, the National Army attacked first. At the time, the Japanese invaders did not have many troops. However, the 300,000-strong National Army was unable to take them.

The reason for this was that these Japanese nationals had suddenly become Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese invaders had stockpiled a large amount of weapons and ammunition in Hongkou.

Once the war started, they distributed the weapons and ammunition, and the army immediately grew to tens of thousands.

After the first ten days or so, the main Japanese troops were constantly deployed from the mainland. They landed at places like Wusongkou. The National Army was forced to switch from offence to defence.

So many Japanese people are definitely a problem. And the number of Japanese people is still increasing.

Is there any way to weaken the Japanese invaders?

Killing people is definitely not an option. And you can't kill that many Japanese people.

Unless...

Find a way to blow up the Japanese ammunition depots.

That should work.

That's what they do in spy dramas. Just raid the Japanese stronghold.

The problem is, he doesn't speak Japanese! There's no way he can pretend to be Japanese and get in. Not to mention blowing up the Japanese ammunition depot, it's hard to even get close.

If not the ammunition depot, then what?

As long as there are Japanese people around, can't we do something?

If the Japanese can mess with us Chinese, why can't we take the initiative and mess with the Japanese?

It's a matter of reciprocity...

'Ring ring ring...'

'Ring ring ring...'

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Zhang Yong picked up the receiver. He heard the voice of Kou Xingde.

'Shaolong, I've been ambushed!'

'What?'

'I'm at Caohejing! Some devils are tracking us remotely. We can't move.'

'Understood! I'll be there right away!'

Zhang Yong hung up the phone with a snap. He stood up abruptly.

The devils are so arrogant. How dare they ambush people from the Fuxing Society.

'Liuqi!'

'Here!'

'Gather all teams immediately! All out!'

'Yes!'

'Bring heavy weapons!'

'Yes!'

Wu Liuqi did not dare to be negligent. He immediately passed on the order.

The so-called heavy weapons were Thompson submachine guns. There were also various rifles. And grenades.

Oh, after seizing a large amount of weapons and ammunition at the Yin Mansion last time, there were now also Czech-style light machine guns and wooden-handled hand grenades. It could be said that they were armed to the teeth.

There was no other way. The battle against the Japanese spies was going to be tough.

That's because the Japanese spies could easily get reinforcements. The Japanese invaders had a large number of backup troops in Hongkou.

Military trucks drove out. Everyone rushed to get on the trucks, armed with guns.

They were all heavily armed. They were on full alert.

'Hurry!'

'Hurry!'

Wu Liuji shouted.

Everyone in the office was alerted. They didn't know what was going on.

The people in the telecommunications team were also curious and came out to see what was going on.

Li Jingzhi was not on duty and was about to volunteer to work overtime. Seeing Zhang Yong's anxious expression, her heart suddenly sank.

Was there a fight with the Japanese?

'What's wrong?'

'Nothing. Just a little trouble.'

'You... be careful!'

'It's fine!'

Zhang Yong reassured her.

He had brought enough people, so of course there was no problem.

If he couldn't handle it, there was still the garrison headquarters. Soldiers could always handle it!

Caohejing is not in the city centre.

According to the agreement between the two sides after the 128 Resistance War, no regular Chinese army units can be stationed in the city centre of Shanghai.

However, there are ways around the rules. If they can't be stationed, I can come in and patrol, right? And if I have the regular army units wear security guard uniforms, that's fine too, right?

So, in fact, in the city centre, the security guard units that are stationed there are still regular army units. They've just changed their skin.

'Report! Unit 1 assembled!'

'Report! Team 2 assembled!'

'Report! Team 3 assembled!'

'Report...'

Soon, all the personnel had assembled. Including Cao Mengqi and Wei Yong's two teams. There were more than 80 people in total.

Get in the car. Set off.

Honk the horn wildly. Rush to the scene at full speed.

Soon afterwards, they arrived near Caohejing. But they found the place quiet. There were no signs of fighting.

Zhang Yong ordered a halt. His brows furrowed.

What's going on?

Have the Japanese retreated? So quickly?

He waves his hand, and the men quietly continue on their way.

System prompt: No prompt. No red dots. No white dots. There is no one nearby at all.

Still, he dares not be careless.

Finally, a red dot appears on the map. There are indeed Japanese soldiers.

Soon after, another red dot is spotted. It is about 50 metres away from the previous one. They are in a mutually-interlocking position.

Huh?

Could it be a sniper?

I can't help but feel nervous. I subconsciously hide my body.

Fortunately, his clothes are exactly the same as everyone else's.

The Japanese invaders actually don't have professional snipers. Neither does the National Army. At this moment, neither side is equipped with professional sniper rifles.

What quadruple and octuple scopes are, on the current land of China, are temporarily very rare.

Maybe there are some. But the quantity is very scarce. You can't even see any.

However, the Japanese invader veterans' marksmanship training is very harsh, and their hit rate within 200-300 meters is extremely high.

Fortunately, the Japanese veteran doesn't have a scope, so he can only see the general outline of the target from afar. But he can't identify the specific target. For example, he can't tell it's Zhang Yong.

If the Japanese veteran had a scope, it would be game over. He would definitely target Zhang Yong.

When the gun goes off, he'll be the one who dies.

Alas, the map is not helpful. The display radius is only 150 metres. It's very dangerous. It can't possibly include the sniper...

Huh? Just as he is complaining, he notices that the map's display radius seems to have increased?

It seems to have increased to about 200 metres?

Look closely. Yes. It has indeed increased. It has increased to 200 metres.

But it is still impossible to block all snipers.

After all, the veteran Japanese soldier can shoot from 300 metres away. If he gets hit, then oh well.

This fully demonstrates that he still cannot act recklessly. Otherwise, he risks being killed by the enemy with one shot.

He still has to behave with his tail between his legs.

There was no other way, so he had to let the capable men go first.

'Lohan!'

'Lu Wang!'

Zhang Yong called the sharpshooters up. He gave them their positions.

In a head-to-head duel, the hardest part is spotting the enemy. But Zhang Yong had already locked onto them. He made things much easier for Tong Lohan and Lu Wang.

Soon, they spotted the Japanese soldiers through their binoculars. However...

The shooting angle was very small.

'I can't hit them!' Lu Wang shook his head regretfully.

'Scare them away!' Zhang Yong deployed the tactics, 'You three, spread out the firing angles.'

His tactics were very simple.

It was to make the Japanese soldiers reveal themselves while moving.

Lying still was very good for hiding. However, once they started moving, they would be targeted.

As for whether they could hit their target, that would depend on luck.

Soon, the sound of gunfire came.
