Zhang Yong felt a little uneasy when he was deployed to make an arrest.
He didn't know which camp the person he was going to arrest belonged to. Apart from the Red Party, all other camps were dangerous.
If it was the Japanese, that would be fine. Just get them dead.
But if it's the Chen family, then there will be endless trouble.
The Chen family is also very powerful. It's a very dangerous act for the Chief to monitor the Chen family.
The Chen family will definitely retaliate in secret using various means.
However, Zhang Yong also has no way out. He is now tied to Boss Dai.
Until the victory of the War of Resistance, it is impossible to sever ties with Boss Dai. Therefore, Boss Dai's enemies are his enemies.
Conversely, when others deal with Boss Dai, they will also deal with him.
There's nothing he can do. It's just a matter of head-on confrontation.
'Hurry!'
'Hurry!'
The commanding officer quickly approaches the target.
Mao Renfeng watches from behind, puzzled and amazed.
This Zhang Yong really does amazing things every time. How on earth did he notice the enemy in the distance?
Could there be Japanese invaders in ambush nearby?
Soon, Zhang Yong spots the target. It's a man in black.
Carrying a long package on his back. He's almost certain that the package contains a rifle.
Danger!
The other party is actually carrying a rifle!
"Stop!'
Zhang Yong shouted sternly.
The other party was an expert. He could not hide and get close.
If he forced his way closer, he would only be shot.
He could only startle the enemy.
He just needed to make sure that this guy was coming for the Fuxing Society.
Sure enough, the black-clad man quickly turned his head back. At the same time, he took the package behind him.
'Shoot!'
Zhang Yong ordered decisively.
Wei Yong was armed with a Mauser rifle. The bullet was already loaded.
Fuck him.
'Pop!'
Wei Yong decisively fired.
However, he missed.
The distance was relatively far. It was more than 100 metres.
The man in black noticed that something was wrong and immediately threw the package away. Then he fled in a hurry.
At the same time, he took out a pistol from his bosom.
'Bang!'
'Bang!'
He shot backhand at Zhang Yong and the others.
Zhang Yong hurriedly crouched behind the broken wall. He cursed inwardly.
Damn, who the hell is this guy?
He even has a pistol!
And he's carrying a long gun!
What does he want? Who does he want to kill?
"Da-da-da...'
'Da-da-da...'
The Thompson submachine gun fired furiously.
It tried to suppress the enemy's firepower. The Thompson was the pistol's nemesis.
Unfortunately, it still didn't hit.
The man in black was fast.
He seemed to know the terrain well. Maybe he had lived here before.
The little dot moved rapidly northwest on the map, then disappeared from view.
Zhang Yong did not pursue.
He was unsure of the situation.
If he encountered an enemy ambush, that would be bad.
He waved his hand after the man in black had disappeared completely. The others rushed up and picked up the package.
They opened it.
Inside was indeed a rifle.
And it's not just any rifle. It's an English 77. It's very new. There are also bullets.
In addition, at the bottom of the package, there are six Browning M1903 pistols. They're old models. 7.65 mm calibre. It seems that these are the guns used by the six agents who were killed?
This is big.
The man in black just now was actually the murderer.
Hurry up and secure the scene, and at the same time send someone to report to Mao Renfeng. In these kinds of situations, you have to quickly pass the buck to the leader.
When the gods fight, the mortals suffer. He doesn't want to get caught up in this.
Even though he's already involved, he still has to struggle a little...
Mao Renfeng arrived quickly.
When he saw the captured British 77 and the six pistols, his face became grave.
There was no doubt that the murderer was the man in black. However, he had no idea who the other party was.
What should he do?
He could only report to the Director. The Director would make the decision.
He still had to report in person.
He couldn't do it over the phone.
'Shaolong, you've worked hard. Go home and rest!'
'Okay!'
Zhang Yong nodded.
He really needed to calm down.
It felt like this matter was even more dangerous than Sakata Kazuo.
The struggles of the higher-ups were full of swordplay! Murder without bloodshed...
If you're not careful, you could be finished.
'I'll go first!'
'Goodbye!'
Zhang Yong saw off Secretary Mao.
Then he led the men back to the surveillance point. They climbed up to the attic.
He was puzzled.
What could be monitored from the attic?
As a result, he crouched on the attic and carefully observed the surroundings. He found nothing.
There were residential buildings all around. People came and went. It was all very normal.
It was just a very ordinary scene of daily life. After observing it for a long time, he found nothing special.
'Yang Zhi!'
'Yes!'
'Come and have a look.'
'Yes!'
Yang Zhi held the binoculars and observed carefully. Again, he couldn't find anything.
Within the scope of observation, there didn't seem to be anything special.
Unless you're watching someone.
Zhang Yong can't help but become suspicious. What exactly is this surveillance point monitoring?
Is Mao Renfeng not telling the truth?
He suppressed the doubt in the dark. He wouldn't dare ask about this sort of thing.
He had to pretend that nothing was amiss.
He led the team back to the headquarters next to Goose Lane. They were dismissed. Then they went to rest.
Unfortunately, there was time to sleep but they couldn't sleep.
They couldn't help but think about it.
In the end, they focused on one question: what exactly are they monitoring?
Monitoring the Chen family is a very broad concept. There must be something specific. The boss arranged for the Special Investigation Unit to monitor it secretly, so there must be a specific target.
The problem is, just now in the attic, there really wasn't anything special found!
Could it be smuggling?
The Chen family must also have smuggling channels.
Otherwise, how did the four families of Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen come about?
Without money, where would they rank?
I finally fell asleep in a daze. I didn't even get up for dinner.
I woke up in the morning. I felt okay.
I slept for ten whole hours last night.
Wash up. Eat and drink to your heart's content. Go back to your office.
Seems like there's nothing to do today?
That's good. I like having nothing to do. A stolen half-day of leisure.
Nothing to do today, so I'll go to a brothel to listen to music...
Why don't I just take the day off?
It's been almost six months since I joined the Fuxing Society, and I still haven't taken a single day off...
However...
'Ring ring ring...'
'Ring ring ring...'
The phone rings at the most inopportune moment.
Frustrated.
Just now, I said I had nothing to do. But then the phone rings and it's like a death knell.
But I dare not not answer it. What if it's one of the bosses? What if it's the section chief?
I pick up the receiver angrily. I'm all ears.
'Zhang Yong,' comes Yang Lichu's voice over the phone. I'm even more irritated.
This woman. Don't stir up trouble for no reason! I'm taking the day off.
Tian Yuman is already in your hands. So is Aoki Junshiro. You two finish things off.
I'm not writing any reports. Leave me alone.
'What is it?' The tone of her voice was not happy.
'We have news about Yang Junjian,' Yang Lichu was not used to being spoken to like that. She said what she had to say.
'Where?' Zhang Yong had to show some concern.
One of the tasks of the Third Intelligence Department is to bring Yang Junjian back. Either he is alive and well, or he is dead.
There had been no news of Yang Junjian before, and now, just when he was about to go on leave, he reappeared. He really hated this guy. Disturbing someone's rest is tantamount to robbing and killing!
"Tianjin.'
'What?'
'Yang Junjian is in Tianjin. He is in the hands of the Japanese.'
'Isn't that nonsense?'
Zhang Yong blurted out. He didn't care that the other person was a woman.
It was true! The target was in Tianjin, and there was no way to capture him. It was a long way to go.
He couldn't just go to Tianjin to capture the person.
But wait!
Tianjin seemed to be Chen Gongshu's territory?
Chen Gongshu was the stationmaster of Tianjin Station! Maybe he could ask him to help capture the person?
But then he thought better of it.
He didn't dare to speak to Chen Gongshu. He also didn't dare to meet the other party face to face.
He was afraid of the past being brought up again.
His poor performance in the last assessment seemed to have irritated Chen Gongshu. The other party probably didn't want to see him either.
'We can switch people.'
'What?'
'Use Aoki in exchange for Yang Junjian.'
'Oh?'
Zhang Yong's mind twitched.
Alas, he had actually forgotten such a simple truth.
It seemed that his brain had really short-circuited.
Yang Lichu was right, just replace him.
No matter where Yang Junjian ran to, as long as he was in the hands of the Japanese, it would be fine.
Wait.
'Yang Junjian went to the Japanese on his own?'
'I think so.'
'He flew from Jinling to Tianjinwei?'
'Yes.'
'I see.'
It seems that guy is still very smart.
He actually flew from Jinling to Tianjinwei. It was dark. His flying skills are really good.
Gao Yuanhang taught him well. He was able to make a student fly to Tianjin in the dark without any external assistance or radar.
Impressive.
Yang Junjian is determined to join the Japanese!
But...
Wait!
'Can you fly from Jinling to Tianjin? How far is it?'
'More than 800 kilometres.'
'Does the plane have that much fuel?'
'Even the auxiliary fuel tank is full. It can fly 1,000 kilometres.'
'Hmmm...'
No wonder Gao Yuanhang was suspected.
It really seemed like they were deliberately preparing an escape plane for Yang Junjian!
Even if there was only half a tank of fuel, Yang Junjian couldn't fly that far. At that time, the range of planes was relatively short. A thousand kilometers was the limit.
It was only after the outbreak of the World Wars that aviation technology improved by leaps and bounds, and the range of planes increased rapidly.
Before World War II, the range of the very capable German Bf 109 fighter was only 900 km. But the range of the later P-51 Mustang fighter was over 2,700 km!
What a long range...
What's the point of filling up the auxiliary fuel tank?
It's really hard to explain.
Luckily, we've captured Tian Yuman and Aoki Junshiro.
However, it's still impossible to explain why Gao Yuanhang filled up with so much fuel.
Sigh...
Never mind, let's deal with Yang Junjian first.
To get Yang Junjian back, it may not be enough to just capture Aoki. We need to capture a few more Japanese spies. The number doesn't matter.
Zhang Yong has plenty of Japanese spies. If we don't have enough, we can capture a few more.
The key is, will the Japanese be willing to trade?
Or, among the Japanese, who can play a decisive role?
They have to be willing to hand over Yang Junjian...
Yang Junjian is in Tianjin. Will the Japanese secret service there listen to this side?
It seems that the Japanese are very powerful in North China. The North China Garrison is nominally a brigade, but in fact has three infantry regiments with more than 10,000 men.
The Japanese also have a garrison near Tianjin. There are also a large number of Japanese in the city. It's not going to be easy.
'Did you not hear what I said?'
'Don't argue. I'm thinking.'
'I'll call back later then.'
'I'll come and see you!'
Zhang Yong thought for a moment. It's better to talk face to face.
Phone calls are expensive. Even if it's on company expenses.
'Good!'
Yang Lichu hung up the phone.
Zhang Yong then called Zhong Yang and brought his team to the Air Supply Department.
It was a good place to have lunch.
Yang Lichu waited outside the office of the Third Branch of Intelligence.
Stop the car.
Get out.
'Did you find out any other information?'
'No. Neither of them would say anything. I didn't ask much either.'
'You're also from Intelligence Section 3...'
'I'm just the liaison. I'm in charge of coordination.'
'Bring them both!'
'Yes!'
Yang Lichu went to make the arrangements.
Soon, Aoki Junshiro and Tian Yuman were both brought up.
Zhang Yong said bluntly, 'I'm prepared to use you to exchange for Yang Junjian. What do you suggest?'
Aoki: ? ? ?
Tian Yuman: ? ? ?
The two of them looked at each other.
They understood. But they couldn't believe it.
Trade them?
Zhang Yong was willing to let them go?
For a moment, they were all too surprised. So much so that they fell silent.
