Chapter 576: The Yellowbird is Behind You

Wanshengwei was in chaos after the battle ended.

Traces of the explosions were everywhere. The ground was pitted.

Judging from the clothing of the dead enemies, they should be the Tiexi troops of the puppet Manchukuo. In other words, they were hardcore traitors. They were the trusted subordinates of Kawashima Yoshiko.

If they were in the ranks of the puppet army, these Tie Shi troops were still quite effective.

However, they encountered the well-prepared agents of the Fuxing Society. They were suddenly at a loss.

It was a completely different level.

In a small-scale battle, the puppet army was definitely no match for the Fuxing Society.

The most fatal thing was that these puppet army troops did not have machine guns or mortars. The Japanese only gave them rifles.

'Pop!'

'Pop!'

There were also sporadic gunshots.

It was the outlying area that encountered a patrol of Yin Rugen's puppet army.

There was an exchange of fire.

The puppet army's patrol retreated in a hurry.

They couldn't catch up.

The remaining puppet soldiers ran too fast.

This also means that the news of the attack on Wanshengwei will soon spread.

'Shaolong...'

Yu Lexing is a little worried. In case a large force of puppet soldiers arrives...

The Fuxing Society is only good at small-scale battles. A hundred or two people is the limit. If the enemy outnumbers them by more than 500, there is no chance of victory.

Ying Rugen's puppet army is equipped with machine guns and mortars. They definitely can't beat them.

'Search!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

What is the purpose of attacking Wanshengwei?

It is to find Kawashima Yoshiko's treasure...

Therefore...

Hurry up and search!

Once you find the treasure, take it and leave immediately.

However...

'Report!'

'We found a cache of arms!'

'Report!'

'We found a cache of arms!'

'Report!'

Everything they found was weapons and ammunition.

There was no gold, silver or jewellery.

Almost all the weapons bore the insignia of the Northeast Army.

It was clear that the Japanese invaders had mostly resold the captured equipment to the puppet Manchukuo army. To Kawashima Yoshiko and the others.

Kawashima Yoshiko had taken some of it out again and transported it to the area to give to Yin Rugen.

A rough estimate: the quantity was very impressive.

There were more than 1,300 7.9 rifles, including more than 800 Type 44 rifles.

There were also more than 50 Czech-style light machine guns. All of them were sealed. They had not been opened. Otherwise, the surprise attack just now might not have been so easy.

There were also a very large quantity of 7.92mm bullets. A rough estimate was more than 300,000 rounds.

However, there were no mortars or heavy machine guns.

The Japanese invaders could not have used these powerful weapons to equip the puppet Manchukuo.

In fact, Yin Rugeng's troops got their machine guns and mortars from other sources. The Japanese tightly controlled light machine guns, heavy machine guns and mortars. Not to mention barrel artillery and the like.

'Report!'

'Another ammunition depot has been discovered...'

Good news kept coming.

Over 3,000 wooden-handled hand grenades were found. There were also thousands of kilograms of explosives.

Fortunately, all this was hidden in the cellar, otherwise, if it had exploded, it would have been disastrous. Half of Wanshengwei would have been razed to the ground.

'Report!'

'A batch of medicines was found.'

'Report!'

'Three radios were found.'

'Report!'

Good news continued to come in.

Every corner of Wanshengwei was hiding some kind of supplies.

The three radios were all brand new. They were all the common 5W type. There were also some spare batteries.

Overall, the harvest was very rich.

However...

Zhang Yong's focus was not on these weapons and ammunition.

What he needed was money! Money! Money!

Trapped for more than half a month, there was almost no decent income, and it felt like he had missed a billion.

If he didn't find a way to make up for it soon, he would feel very frustrated.

The problem is, Wanshengwei has no money.

Digging everywhere, he only found some scattered dollars.

All together, it was only a thousand or two. It was completely unimpressive. He directly let the troops fighting the war distribute it. Not a single one was left.

Depressed.

Distressed.

Where did Kawashima Yoshiko hide all that wealth?

British intelligence doesn't seem to be accurate either! Do they think that more than a thousand rifles and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition is already a lot?

Well, in the past, this quantity was indeed quite a lot.

However, Zhang Yong's expectations are now higher. Such a small quantity of weapons and ammunition no longer satisfies his desires.

Send someone to notify the 34th Division. Tell them to send someone to collect the weapons and ammunition.

'Report!'

'A body has been found. It seems to be Tang Boming...'

'What?'

Zhang Yong is taken aback.

Tang Boming? The Japanese spy?

He's actually here? And he was killed in the bombing? What's going on?

It was already very surprising that Cao Jianzhang had come to Wanshengwei. But then, he didn't expect to find Tang Boming here as well. And then he was killed in the explosion.

Something didn't feel right...

He hurried over to take a look.

Yes, it was indeed Tang Boming. The body was basically intact. It could be clearly identified.

Thinking back. One of the four Japanese soldiers found earlier was him.

Frowning. What was he doing here?

Is Xiong Ba fine now? Could he have been ambushed by Tang Boming?

Feeling around Tang Boming's body.

As a result, just as he started, he felt a thick stack of banknotes.

From the feel of it, Zhang Yong almost instantly concluded that these were banknotes from the Baoshang Bank. Moreover, the quantity was very large. The stack was so thick that there were at least hundreds of banknotes.

He quickly took out the banknotes. Sure enough, they were all from the Baoshang Bank. The face value was 200 silver dollars. A rough count revealed that there were exactly around 100 banknotes. In other words, it was 20,000 silver dollars.

The feeling of frustration was suddenly replaced by a little excitement.

Although 20,000 silver dollars was not a lot, it was better than nothing. Otherwise, for him personally, this trip would have been a real waste of time.

He continued to grope around.

Unfortunately, there were no more valuable items.

There were also no personal letters or anything.

Whether these 20,000 silver dollars were brought by Tang Boming or given to Tang Boming by someone else, it was no longer possible to verify.

Perhaps Tang Boming came here for some ulterior motive. But there was no way to investigate.

The man is dead. It's all over.

Suddenly, he felt that his personal space had an additional scope.

Hey, this is a good acquisition.

Right now, what he needs most is a scope.

After returning to Tianjin, there will be plenty of Springfield M1903 rifles. What's lacking is scopes.

There are many sharpshooters among the veterans of the 29th Army and the Northeast Army. They have a wealth of shooting experience, but they lack high technology.

Does a scope count as high technology?

For the great powers, of course not. At best, it is considered an industrial product.

However, for China, the scope is definitely considered high-tech. There is no way they can imitate it themselves.

'Report!'

Suddenly, Yang Zhi hurriedly came.

He handed Zhang Yong a small, tattered notebook. There were some faint handwriting on it.

Zhang Yong carefully identified it. Vaguely, he noticed that it seemed to be some symbols and passwords. He had an impression of these symbols and passwords. He had seized them a few times before.

It's a codebook, I think. But it's not complete. There are only eight pages, with two or three hundred Chinese characters.

Zhang Yong's initial assessment is that it may be a variant of a certain codebook. It's based on a basic codebook, but how it works is still unknown.

Suddenly...

he notices that there is an additional scope in his personal space.

Huh?

Is there such a thing as a free lunch?

It seems that he has done nothing, but he has been given two scopes in a row?

No...

Could it be that I'm in danger?

So, the system gave me the equipment in advance as a reminder that the scope might come in handy?

I suddenly didn't dare to be happy. I cautiously surveyed the surroundings.

Fortunately, it was quiet and there were no snipers for the time being.

I looked at the time.

It was almost time.

Retreat!

Back to Tianjinwei.

Zhang Yong did not immediately report this to Li Boqi.

Wait a minute.

No rush.

The director and Li Boqi have given him the authority to move freely.

In other words, he doesn't have to ask for permission or report everything.

Frankly, this is a very high level of authority.

So don't worry about the Chief not trusting you.

Tell Ouyang Sheng, Wu Liuqi, Tan Haitao and the others to come to the Xia Chong Yu Bing Café.

There's also a woman here who needs to be dealt with.

Since we didn't find any decent Kawashima Yoshiko goods in Wanshengwei, we'll start from scratch.

We'll loot Tianjinwei. Arrest Japanese spies everywhere.

First, Wang Manyuan.

Approaching the target quietly. There are actually two red dots there.

Japanese spies?

Haha.

They've come at just the right time.

I hope Wang Manyuan is inside. It'd be best if she'd returned.

Last time, I tried to arrest this woman, but I failed. She managed to escape into the Japanese concession. This time, let's see if she still has the ability to run.

'Ouyang!'

'Here!'

'Block the road leading to the Japanese concession.'

'Yes!'

Ouyang Sheng led the men away.

Zhang Yong waved his hand. The men wearing other people gradually closed in.

Soon after, he saw what was going on inside the coffee shop through the binoculars. Sure enough, he saw Wang Manyuan.

At the same time, he also saw the two Japanese spies. They were all dressed in suits and looked respectable. They were feasting.

These two Japanese spies are living quite comfortably!

In Tianjin, they actually dare to hang out so recklessly?

And Wang Manyuan still dares to continue operating?

Does he take me, Zhang Yong, for a fool?

Good!

Let's teach them a lesson.

Seeing that they are almost surrounded, Zhang Yong waves his hand to signal the start of the operation.

Just then, a small red dot suddenly appears in the northwest. It is rapidly approaching. It soon enters the 350-meter range.

A master is here!

Zhang Yong's first reaction is that this Japanese killer is no ordinary person.

He is definitely not an ordinary veteran.

A trap!

The person who came may be from the Miyamoto family.

Previously, while protecting Elisabeth Hospital, Zhang Yong had been waiting for the Miyamoto family to arrive.

Unfortunately, they did not.

While he was on high alert, the Miyamoto family did not show up.

No one from the other clans, such as the Hojo or the Kujo, showed up either.

Unexpectedly...

they appeared at this time.

Perhaps, the other party was not targeting the Director. Instead, they were targeting him?

Wang Manyuan came back to the Xia Chong Yu Bing Café, actually just to attract him to come. And then the mantis preys on the cicada while the oriole waits in the wings?

Anyway, it would indeed be very dangerous without the system map to remind you.

His attention was on Wang Manyuan, and he might have overlooked the danger from behind. And then he was shot dead.

As long as the Japanese killer enters the 300-meter range, it is possible to open fire.

'Haitao!'

'Here!'

'Call Zhou Cang and Dian Wei!'

'Yes.'

Tan Haitao went to pass on the order.

Soon, Zhou Cang and Dian Wei came.

The two of them were veterans of the original 29th Army. They were expelled from the army because they fought the Japanese invaders. Then they went under Zhang Yong.

These two names are of course their new identities. Their previous identities have been forgotten.

They are both crack shots. They are both very good marksmen.

The two newly acquired scopes were just ready for use. Two more snipers.

Strictly speaking, without the help of the scopes, the two veterans really couldn't beat those psychopathic Japanese killers. They might have been killed as soon as they appeared.

But with the help of the scopes, the balance of victory began to tilt in Zhang Yong's favour.

'Do you see the target?'

'No,'

Zhou Cang replied.

He didn't see anything in the scope.

'I don't see it either,'

Similarly, Dian Wei did not see the target either.

That Japanese killer was hiding very well. It moved very slowly.

In the end, this guy actually stopped moving completely.

Huh? Not moving?

Zhang Yong frowned.

Could it be that the other party has discovered something?

Could it be that the other party's nose is so keen that it has actually smelt danger?

What a pity...

It was just a little bit short.

As long as the other party is slightly exposed, it is possible to finish it off.

However, it was just a little bit short.

There is no chance for the time being.

Well, since there is no chance outside, let's go in and find Wang Manyuan!

I guess she is now an assassin. The goal is to lure you to the hook. Well, in order to delay you, she will do her best.

Perhaps, on this special occasion, she will reveal some information?

"Liuqi!'

'Here!'

'Arrest the person!'

'Yes!'

Wu Liuqi immediately led the men to rush in.

The two Japanese invaders inside immediately realised something was wrong. They subconsciously drew their guns.

However, it was already too late.

'Paf!'

'Bang!'

The guns went off. The two Japanese invaders fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

Wu Liuqi and the others fired continuously, turning the two Japanese spies into a hornet's nest. They couldn't have died any more miserably.

Wang Manyuan was also surrounded.

However, this woman was clearly very calm. Or perhaps she had expected this. So she didn't move.

In fact, she was indeed waiting.

Waiting for Zhang Yong to take the bait.

Her task was to attract Zhang Yong to her. And then trade her life for Zhang Yong's.

'Just as I thought...'

Zhang Yong's mouth curled up in a sneer.

As the gunshot rang out, the hidden Japanese killer moved.

He began to creep forward silently.

He was in a position that allowed him to observe the café from a maximum distance.

If Zhang Yong hadn't noticed this, he would have entered the café recklessly. Sat down, and talked to Wang Manyuan. Then, what awaited him would most likely be a bullet flying in from 200 metres away. This Japanese killer should be able to shorten the distance to about 200 metres.

Unless he also had a scope.

But judging from the trajectory of his movements, it seems unlikely.

Otherwise, at a distance of 300 metres, using a scope would already be very high probability.

No matter what kind of rifle it is, as long as it is not a replica, the stability of the bullet at a distance of 400 metres is very high. There is no way it can cause a fatal deviation.

Zhang Yong even speculated that Wang Manyuan might lure him to sit in a certain position.

And this position is the most suitable for being sniped.

When Zhang Yong thought he had defeated her, he had no idea that he would also fall into hell.

Very sinister.

Very effective.

Fortunately, he had discovered it in advance.

So...

Zhang Yong walked slowly through the door.

The Japanese killer was still 300 metres away, so he wasn't worried for the time being.

As long as he avoided certain particularly open terrain, he was safe for now.

'Boss Wang!'

'It's you?'

Wang Manyuan showed her appropriate 'surprise'.

At the same time, she subconsciously raised her hand to run her fingers through her hair. Obviously, this was a signal. Maybe she was communicating with someone.

Are there any Japanese ambushers nearby? No sign of them for now. They could be her men.

Sure enough, two white spots quietly move away nearby.

Zhang Yong doesn't react.

His main objective now is to be fooled.

He wants Wang Manyuan to believe that Zhang Yong is defenceless. He could be killed at any time.

Seeing that Zhang Yong is about to die, she might reveal some secrets.

'Boss Wang, we meet again.'

'You want to kill me?'

Wang Manyuan bites her lip. She pretends to be nervous.

Zhang Yong smiles slightly. He gives his tacit consent. At the same time, the corner of his mouth lifts slightly. A hint of smugness appears.

This is a clear message to the other person: yes, I'm back. This time, I've got you. I'll see where you can run. I'll be the one laughing last.

Wang Manyuan is relieved.

This Zhang Yong, finally there comes a day like this.

He is so smug.

He is so arrogant.

He is about to be finished!

He is about to be killed by a single shot!
