Chapter 430: Head-on collision

The two Japanese invaders were both young men.

They each occupied a table. Their gazes did not seem to meet Mei Xiao's.

From time to time, they looked outside.

Zhang Yong gradually approached them. They did not react.

The man sitting at the top of the stairs glanced at Zhang Yong and continued to eat with his head bowed.

The man sitting in the corner also glanced at Zhang Yong. Then he continued to drink in silence. Obviously, he didn't care.

Zhang Yong: ...

Okay. Everyone else is a professional.

A professional can tell just by a glance that he is not a professional. There is no threat.

In fact, there is indeed no sign of secret agent training on his body.

Perhaps this is the reason why Li Boqi and the director did not force him to participate in training.

Sometimes, after a long period of training, various characteristics on the body will become very obvious. No matter how you disguise yourself, you cannot get rid of them.

It's like Cao Mengqi.

You can't ask him to pretend to be an ordinary person.

Because he had received three years of rigorous military training at the Whampoa Military Academy before, many of his movements have become muscle memory.

He has formed various military 'memories'.

For example, when entering an unfamiliar place, he can't help but scan the surroundings. Looking for an escape route. Looking for a vantage point.

Ordinary people obviously don't have this awareness.

So if you ask someone like Yu Lexing to observe, he can see through it at a glance.

Cao Mengqi's appearance, movements, and awareness cannot deceive an expert. Letting him go in disguise is basically a death sentence.

However, Zhang Yong doesn't have any of this.

Because he hasn't received any professional training.

Finding a vantage point or something might be okay. But escape routes and such, I guess he wouldn't react.

He is an ordinary person. No need to disguise.

Since the Japanese spies ignored him, Zhang Yong ignored them too. He sat directly next to Mei Xiao.

'You came quickly,' Mei Xiao smiled.

The guests around them couldn't help but stare. Except for the two Japanese spies.

Everyone has a love of beauty. This is what an ordinary person is like.

These two Japanese spies happened to have violated this common sense.

Zhang Yong: ...

I understand. Their target was not Mei Xiao.

They were probably responsible for the outer perimeter security of Kawashima Yoshiko, or some other big shot.

In other words, it means that Mei Xiao has not been exposed.

So he pretended to embrace Mei Xiao in his arms, went to kiss her earlobe, and whispered, 'Stairwell, corner, there are two Japanese spies. They're not looking at you.'

Mei Xiao immediately woke up. She kept her composure. Her face flushed. She quietly rubbed against Zhang Yong.

After a moment, Zhang Yong let her go.

Mei Xiao took the opportunity to look around and sure enough, she noticed that the two guys seemed very focused.

They were staring in the direction of Chunman Building.

This Zhang Yong is really a ghost from the underworld. You can tell at a glance? He didn't even notice himself.

The Japanese invaders are out of luck if they meet him.

It seems that no matter how much makeup you wear, there's no way to escape Zhang Yong's clutches?

Zhang Yong's expression does not change.

It's as if he's closing his eyes to rest. In fact, he's working silently.

Xiangmanyuan is not far from Chunmanlou. It's only about 100 metres in a straight line. So, there are a lot of red dots within the map's range.

It seems that Kawashima Yoshiko was surrounded by many Japanese.

Which one is Kawashima Yoshiko? Impossible to tell. Because Kawashima Yoshiko was just a traitor, not a Japanese. The map only shows white dots.

There are so many white dots, hundreds or thousands. It is too difficult to distinguish them.

The map shows that there are a lot of white dots inside and outside Chunmanlou. There may be a few hundred or a thousand people. Haha. This is really a large number.

I suspect they were all traitors to the Tianjin garrison, big and small. And their lackeys, henchmen, bodyguards, and the like. They probably all carried weapons.

A closer look at the map also revealed some red dots arranged in a very neat pattern. My judgment is that they were Japanese military police. Or perhaps they were Japanese army units.

The Japanese had a headquarters at Hai Guang Temple, with two regiments of mobile troops.

The Japanese troops sent from Hai Guang Temple participated in the tragic events in the spring city a few years ago.

Haikuang Temple was originally a thousand-year-old ancient temple, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the war. The address was occupied by the Japanese invaders and built into a barracks. It became the headquarters of the Japanese garrison.

The Japanese invasion of North China and various other crimes all started from here.

Continue to study in silence.

Judging from the organised Japanese troops, there may be a squadron. That is about 180 people.

Add in the other Japanese guards. There may be more than 300 armed Japanese alone. This is a very formidable force. I wonder what so many Japanese soldiers are doing gathered at Chunman Building?

"Right, what does Chunman Building do?'

'It's a theatre.'

'Oh? Are there many famous actors?'

'Many.'

'Oh...'

Zhang Yong understood.

It was probably some big Japanese military figure who had come out to engage in "pro-people activities". So all the traitors, big and small, came to the show.

This was the Japanese's forte.

Appearances of goodwill. Behind the scenes, they plot and scheme.

Under the Japanese invaders' "painting a rosy picture of peace", many ordinary people did not realise that a large-scale war was imminent.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.

I wonder if Kuroshima Ryuzo is here? Is this guy considered a big shot?

Is this guy the one who is having a "friendship association" with the traitors? Where is he?

What a pity...

There are no mortars.

There are no bazookas.

Otherwise, just fire a few shells or send a few rockets in here and wipe out everyone inside.

Simple and convenient.

Quick and easy.

Unfortunately, there's none of that.

Alas, I'm definitely the most miserable time traveler.

I've clearly traveled to a time of war, but there's no AK, no RPG, no 107...

What's the point of time traveling at all!

Reluctantly, I check my personal space. Unfortunately, it's still just some bullets. Or grenades.

Not even a pistol was produced. Forget the AK.

Looking and looking. Suddenly, he stopped. Huh? It seems like something has intruded.

There is a glass bottle.

Are those pills inside?

When he took them out, they turned out to be tetracycline tablets?

For animals?

100 tablets?

Oh, no! Veterinary medicine?

What the hell...

'What's wrong?' Mei Xiao asked with concern.

'It's nothing,' Zhang Yong said, trying to muster his strength.

Accept the beauty of regret.

This tetracycline seems to be an antibiotic too?

In an era without antibiotics, it could save lives in a minute. It was worth more than gold.

If it's for veterinary use, then it's for veterinary use.

When you need it, who cares who it's for!

"You...'

'What?'

'My sister is ready.'

'Ready for what?'

Zhang Yong didn't react.

Mei Xiao's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and didn't say a word.

Zhang Yong: ?

Oh, I get it.

It's the wedding night.

Ahem...

You should have said so earlier.

I...

But, wait a minute. I'm not free right now. I have a ton of things to take care of.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a large number of red dots moving outward from the Chunman Building.

Huh?

Is this the end of the show?

So many Japanese invaders are moving together, they must be leaving the Chunman Building.

It's a pity, the distance is too far, and he can't see the target clearly.

He can't use binoculars to observe inside the Xiangmanyuan either. Otherwise, the two hidden Japanese spies will definitely find out.

Someone else is stationed here to monitor this angle.

To prevent someone from assassinating from a long distance on the Xiangmanyuan side. Or snooping from this side.

Fortunately, Zhang Yong was prepared.

He casually raised his chopsticks and tapped them in the air.

After a while, Yu Le woke up and came in. Pretending to be a fisherman who came to deliver fish. He needed to enter the kitchen.

Luckily, the kitchen entrance is next to the corner where the Japanese spy is occupying.

At the same time, Cao Mengqi also appeared. Pretending to be a guest who came to eat, he leisurely approached his target.

The two arrived almost at the same time next to the Japanese spy.

Swish!

Yu Lexing's hand raised and the knife fell.

The Japanese spy sitting in the corner was killed on the spot. Immediately, a cover was pulled down. The Japanese spy was hidden.

Over here, at the top of the stairs, Cao Mengqi also finished the other guy with one stroke.

This guy was so aggressive. He just went for it. He went right in. He just killed the Japanese soldier.

'Don't move!'

The man who had entered from behind shouted in a low voice, holding a gun.

Instantly, everyone hurriedly covered their mouths. Not letting out any sound.

Yu Lexing picked up the binoculars and looked towards Xiangmanlou.

Unfortunately, he didn't see anything.

Zhang Yong stood up and held up the binoculars.

searching for the densest cluster of red dots. No target in sight.

It's mainly because it's just a little misty outside. Everyone is carrying an umbrella. Or someone is holding an umbrella for them.

It's this damn oiled paper umbrella that blocks the view.

All you can see is a lot of Japanese invaders moving around, but unfortunately you can't tell who is who.

You can't lock onto a target, so naturally you can't shoot.

Firing without a target is a mistake in itself. Zhang Yong would never do such a stupid thing.

What to do?

You can only give up for now.

I watched as the red dot headed north.

It was moving fast.

It must be in a car. There were a lot of cars.

That way is the direction of Haiguang Temple. I think the Japanese invaders are going back to Haiguang Temple.

What a pity...

Quickly dispose of the scene. Transfer the bodies of the two Japanese spies.

At the same time, give the boss 100 dollars. Tell him to run away quickly. Otherwise, if the Japanese invaders investigate back, he will suffer.

Evacuate.

'Kawashima Yoshiko is still here,' Mei Xiao suddenly said.

'How do you know?' Zhang Yong didn't believe it.

'Follow me!'

'Okay!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand and led the men behind Mei Xiao.

Soon after, the group once again approached Xiangmanyuan. Zhang Yong noticed that there were actually many small red dots around Xiangmanyuan.

Have the Japanese surrounded Xiangmanyuan?

It seems that the Japanese are investigating quickly! They discovered that two people were killed so quickly.

They immediately looked for a vantage point and used binoculars to observe the situation.

Sure enough, they saw Kawashima Yoshiko. The woman was waving her hands triumphantly, as if shouting something.

They counted carefully. There were about twenty Japanese invaders around her. There were also traitors.

Some of the traitors were probably from the puppet state of Manchukuo. They were Kawashima Yoshiko's trusted men.

These hardcore traitors are also combat-ready. They should not be underestimated.

'Are you ready?'

Cao Mengqi is itching to move. He wants to charge up immediately.

From the positions of the Japanese invaders and traitors, it is clear that they have not anticipated a large-scale attack.

No.

It is an attack.

A head-on collision.

Going up is the most violent firepower output.

Zhang Yong gestures.

Cao Mengqi takes his five rifles and takes up his positions.
