Spy Wars: I'm the boss, who am I afraid of?

Xiong Jie sighed softly, with a trace of worry in his eyes. He slowly said: "Our organization is actively planning a rescue operation. According to the instructions of the superiors, the 'Tiger Action Team' needs to ambush in the Hongkou area in order to cooperate with the person codenamed 'Murderous Devil' to carry out the rescue mission."

Shen Jinhui sat up straight, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and asked, "This 'murderous devil', is he our comrade?"

Faced with this question, Xiong Jie responded calmly: "The information you should know will be told to you naturally; and you don't need to ask about things you shouldn't know."

Shen Jinhui immediately replied seriously: "I understand."

Xiong Jie continued, "Go back and get ready. The time for action is imminent."

"I understand," Shen Jinhui nodded and replied, "Then I will go and inform the other comrades first." After saying that, he turned and left.

Such incidents also took place at the Military Control Station in Shanghai. For a time, the undercurrent under this prosperous city began to surge. In every corner of this city, under the seemingly peaceful surface of life, there are actually countless secrets and unknown contests hidden.

At the third quarter of noon, the sun is high in the sky, and everything is bathed in the most blazing sunlight. In ancient times, one quarter lasted fifteen minutes, and noon is about 12 noon today, so "three quarters of noon" refers to about 12:45 in modern time.

At this moment, the sun is the brightest and most dazzling, shining almost directly down, illuminating the earth brightly and transparently. The ancients believed that this was the time when the yang energy was at its peak. This moment has been given special significance in many classical literary works and is often regarded as an auspicious time to perform important ceremonies or make important decisions.

At this moment, under the gloomy sky, about two hundred ragged and haggard people gathered together, and their fate seemed to be doomed.

Some of these people were arrested because they actually participated in resistance activities, while others were civilians who were innocently caught up in the turmoil.

Every unfortunate person was wearing heavy shackles and leg rings. They were tightly surrounded by a group of Japanese soldiers with hideous faces and fierce eyes with guns, as if they might suffer an unpredictable fate at any time.

The commander on the scene was Mieko Sakai. As an important member of the Special High Technology Department, she not only possessed extraordinary insight, but also excellent organizational skills.

She was surrounded by a team of fully armed gendarmes who were responsible for maintaining order at the scene and ensuring that no resistance occurred.

On the periphery, there is a second line of defense composed of agents from the Security Bureau. They patrol the surroundings vigilantly to ensure that no unexpected situations occur, providing additional security for the entire operation.

In addition to these obvious forces, there were also some specially arranged Japanese personnel mixed in with the crowd of onlookers.

They were armed with a variety of weapons, from pistols to rifles, and even had several armored vehicles parked nearby to deal with any possible emergency. The entire scene was heavily guarded, almost impeccable.

Mieko Sakai was wearing a neat and straight military uniform, staring anxiously at the exquisite watch on her wrist, as if time had slowed down abnormally at this moment.

She turned to Fukuda Sadasuke beside her, with a barely perceptible uneasiness in her tone: "Why is there still no movement? Fukuda-kun, do you think we can really trap the legendary 'murderous devil'?"

Fukuda Sadasa looked around vigilantly. Although his body was as tense as a bowstring, when he looked at Sakai Mieko, his eyes revealed a rare tenderness. "Even if the 'murderous devil' doesn't show up, those underground party members will definitely take action to rescue their comrades. However, Miss Sakai, you shouldn't put yourself in such a dangerous situation. It's easy to become a target of attack here. It's too unsafe."

Mieko Sakai sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "A lot of things have happened in Shanghai recently. If it weren't for the teacher's intercession, I would have been recalled to my homeland to be punished. This mission is of vital importance to me, and I must seize this opportunity, even if it means taking greater risks. Thank you for your hard work, Fukuda-kun."

Fukuda Sadasa answered firmly, "It is Fukuda's honor to serve Ms. Sakai."

"Thank you, Fukuda-kun." Mieko Sakai said gratefully.

Fukuda Sadasuke continued to ask: "Are the security measures at the general's place comprehensive enough?"

"Don't worry, the teacher has already dispatched the Kitahara Special Forces from the Army to take charge of the protection work. Kitahara Ryosuke graduated from the Berlin Military Academy and has successfully commanded the special forces to carry out special operations against commanders of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party many times. With their protection, the general's safety naturally does not need to be worried."

At the same time, on the top floor of a high-rise building not far away, Doihara Kanji was being closely protected by the Kitahara Special Forces.

The golden light shone on the windows, reflecting a dazzling light. The special forces cleverly used the surrounding environment as a cover. They were scattered in various corners of the top floor, wearing dark combat uniforms, blending in with the shadows around them, and were almost unnoticeable.

Doien Kanji held a pair of sophisticated telescopes and closely monitored everything happening below through the slightly reflective glass.

The members of the Beiyuan special forces are all fully armed. They hold MP40 submachine guns, which are known for their reliability and high rate of fire, and are extremely advantageous in close combat. They also have 7.65mm Browning pistols on their waists as auxiliary weapons. They wear M35 helmets, which not only provide additional protection, but their unique appearance also makes the team members look more majestic.

Although they were at a high level, their eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and they were highly alert to every subtle change in the field, ensuring that no abnormal situation could escape their sight. In this tense atmosphere, even the air seemed to freeze.

Kitahara Ryosuke is less than 1.6 meters tall, but his figure is extremely thin and upright, with a healthy bronze skin. Although his eyes are small, they sparkle with shrewdness, his nose is not high, his ears are wide and slightly thin, his lips are thin, and his chin is sharp.

Although he is not tall, his eyes reveal a sense of power and unwavering confidence that cannot be underestimated.

At this moment, Doien Kanji displayed an unusual calmness.

He slowly put the telescope in his hand back into his pocket, then turned gracefully to face Kitahara Ryosuke behind him and said gently: "This operation has indeed caused Kitahara-kun a lot of trouble, and in the days to come, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to continue to accompany an old man like me."

"General, you are too modest. It is my great honor to serve you." Kitahara Ryosuke replied respectfully.

Kitahara Ryosuke's voice was steady and firm, revealing his sincere respect for Doien Kanji. He bowed slightly to show his respect.

Doien Kenji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, as if he was satisfied with Kitahara Ryosuke's attitude.

He slowly raised his right hand and gently patted Kitahara Ryosuke's shoulder, his action showing an indescribable trust and reliance.

Kitahara Ryosuke's brows were tightly knitted together. His intuition, which had become extremely sharp due to long-term training, told him that an unknown pair of eyes were staring at them closely.

The feeling of being spied on made him feel uncomfortable, and out of instinctive alertness, he immediately went into a state of alert.

His eyes became as sharp as an eagle's, and he quickly scanned everything around him, trying to find anything suspicious, but unfortunately, he did not find any obvious abnormalities.

In order to ensure the safety of himself and his teammates, Kitahara Ryosuke did not act rashly, but quickly thought of countermeasures.

Finally, he decided to take a more cautious action - he made a brief and clear gesture to his team members, which meant that they should disperse and carefully search every corner around them.

This not only expands the search range, but also effectively reduces the risk of being attacked by the same target at the same time. The team members understood and quickly acted according to the instructions. The whole process was silent, efficient and orderly.

The two team members understood what he meant and nodded in understanding, then quickly dispersed and began a detailed search according to the instructions.

Their movements were agile and precise, and judging from their quick reaction speed and the professionalism they displayed in carrying out their tasks, this was clearly a team that had undergone rigorous training and had good coordination.

Doiyuan Kenji seemed a little confused. He looked at Kitahara Ryosuke and asked, "Kitahara-kun, what happened?"

Kitahara Ryosuke explained simply: "Just now I felt as if someone was secretly observing us. Although I am not sure whether it is an enemy or a friend, in order to ensure our safety, we need to confirm the surrounding situation immediately."

His words were succinct and clear, revealing a sense of urgency that could not be ignored. Clearly, in this unknown and uncertain environment, vigilance was the key to their survival.

Not long after, the two team members returned and reported to Kitahara Ryosuke, "Captain, we have checked thoroughly and found no suspicious signs or abnormalities."

Although the team members' reports indicated that everything was normal, Kitahara Ryosuke remained highly vigilant, his brows were always furrowed, and it was obvious that he was not completely reassured about the current situation.
