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

"Knock, knock, knock", the harsh sound of the submachine gun seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night, like a symphony of death in the dark, playing Qian Guocheng's anger and determination against the invaders. He hid in the dark, aimed at those ruthless Japanese soldiers, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Kill the devils!" Qian Guocheng's deep voice echoed in the night wind, like a flash of lightning that cut through the darkness, igniting the fighting spirit of his teammates. Each of his bullets was like a messenger of revenge, accurately searching for the target and ruthlessly tearing through the enemy's defenses.

"Meet up with Lao Qian and the others!" Tang Xiaoxiao shouted, her eyes firm and resolute, as bright as the stars. She led the rest of the team and rushed towards the direction of the gunfire. That was their hope and their battlefield.

"clap clap"

"bang bang bang"

The sound of gunfire rose and fell, interweaving into a chaotic war movement. Bullets flew through the air like a dancer of death, leaving bloody marks on the ground with every impact. The sound of explosions rumbled like the roar of Thor, shaking everyone's heart.

On the battlefield, corpses were strewn everywhere, including Japanese soldiers in Japanese military uniforms and prisoners in prison uniforms trying to escape from purgatory. They were once criminals, but at this moment, they were warriors fighting desperately against the invaders for survival and freedom. Their lives disappeared in this chaos, turning into a broken and tragic scene.

Tang Xiaoxiao and Qian Guocheng's teams finally joined together, and the two forces intertwined in the darkness to form an indestructible line of defense.

Tang Xiaoxiao gently counted the number of people and her heart tightened. There were only more than fifty familiar faces. The huge team of more than 500 people was now reduced to only this insignificant small part.

"In the prison, more than 500 lives were lost, and more than 200 people died at the hands of the Japanese guns or bayonets." Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with grief and anger. "Of the more than 300 people who escaped, only we are left now."

Everyone's face is carved with the marks of war, with fatigue, fear, sadness and tenacity intertwined, but their eyes are still bright, because they know that this battle is not only for themselves, but also for those companions who have passed away and for those innocent lives that have not escaped.

They fought side by side in the darkness, writing their own chapter with their blood and lives. Everyone knew that the cost of this war was huge, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would not give up. Because they were warriors, warriors who protected their homes, and even if the road ahead was full of thorns, they would move forward bravely until their last breath.

"Old Qian, how's the situation over there?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked anxiously during her brief respite. Although her voice was low, it was full of power.

"We suffered heavy losses, but we can still hold on." Qian Guocheng's answer was concise and powerful. There was a raging fire of war in his eyes. Although he was exhausted, he had no intention of retreating.

"We must find a way out as soon as possible. We can't waste time here." Tang Xiaoxiao tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, the tip of which was still stained with the enemy's blood.

"Xiaoxiao, I know you are worried, but we have to stabilize the situation first." Qian Guocheng looked at her with a brotherly concern in his eyes. "The enemy has been suppressed by us for the time being, but their reinforcements may arrive at any time."

"You're right, we need to make a plan." Tang Xiaoxiao nodded, took a deep breath, and began to think about how to find survival in the predicament.

"I found a tunnel here, maybe we can make use of it." Qian Guocheng pointed to a broken wall where a narrow entrance was vaguely visible.

"Tunnel? Are you saying we can break through through there?" Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, as if she saw a ray of hope.

"This tunnel obviously carries traces of history. It seems that it was dug by the villagers in the past for some purpose, but the specific time and reason are no longer known. I don't know how many years it has been abandoned and whether it can still be used." Qian Guocheng's words were full of awe and caution. His eyes swept across every corner of the tunnel like a searchlight, as if looking for those forgotten stories.

Tang Xiaoxiao looked at all this and had already made a decision in her heart. She knew very well that every decision could affect the fate of the entire team.

Therefore, she said with great force: "Let's go into the tunnel first."

Tang Xiaoxiao's decisiveness and calmness reassured the team members. They now had full confidence in her leadership ability, and upon hearing the order, they stepped into the unknown tunnel one after another without hesitation.

As time went by, the gunfire on the battlefield gradually became sparse, with only sporadic sounds of exchange of fire echoing in the night sky. The soldiers in the tunnel groped forward in the darkness, their hearts filled with unknown fear and expectation.

The tunnels are interconnected and crisscrossed, like an ancient chessboard, and each passage may lead you to unknown areas.

The world of the tunnel is silent, with only the sound of footsteps echoing between the hollow walls, bringing a unique sense of rhythm.

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the front, followed by a violent vibration, and the stone walls of the tunnel began to peel off.

Qian Guocheng and Tang Xiaoxiao looked at each other and realized that the Japanese had discovered the tunnel and were destroying it, so they had to speed up.

"Hurry up! The tunnel is about to collapse!" Qian Guocheng shouted. His voice echoed in the narrow space, alarming the soldiers who were still fighting outside.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Tang Xiaoxiao also gave loud orders, and they all ran towards the tunnel entrance, trying to escape before the tunnel completely collapsed.

In the tunnel, dust was flying, lights were flickering, and everyone held their breath and ran forward with all their might. Stones kept falling, and every impact was terrifying. Tang Xiaoxiao tightly grasped the corner of the clothes of her comrade in front of her, and behind her was Qian Guocheng, who was holding the tail of the team firmly with his hands to ensure that no one was left behind.

In the darkness and chaos, they seemed to have traveled through a maze of time and space, with each step carrying a life-and-death stake. The end of the tunnel seemed out of reach, but everyone firmly believed that there was an exit of hope.

Suddenly, a faint ray of light shone through the cracks in the rubble, bringing a glimmer of hope to the desperate darkness. The morale of the team instantly rose, and they quickened their pace and ran towards the faint light.

Finally, they rushed out of the tunnel and saw a vast open field in front of them. The land under the moonlight seemed particularly peaceful. In the distance, they could still hear sporadic gunshots, reminding them that the war was not over.

"We are out, we are still alive!" Li Jinhua looked at the sky, his excitement beyond words. Although his face was covered with dirt and blood, his eyes were shining with the joy of victory.

"It's still too dangerous here. We need to leave as soon as possible." Qian Guocheng looked around and reminded.

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and scanned the surroundings, looking for the best evacuation route. "We go west along the ridge. There should be a stream there that can cover our tracks." She made a quick judgment.

"Comrade Master, your judgment is always so accurate." Qian Guocheng looked at her with appreciation, then turned to the team, "Everyone, we are heading west now, moving forward along the ridge of the field. Keep quiet and try not to make any noise."

The team moved silently, each of them stepped carefully on the wet soil, trying to avoid breaking dead branches and leaves. The moonlight shone on them, reflecting their determined faces.

"Comrade Master, what should we do next?" Li Jinhua walked up to Tang Xiaoxiao and asked softly.

"We need to find a safe place, reorganize our team, and then find a way to contact other anti-Japanese forces." Tang Xiaoxiao replied, her eyes searching the fields for possible hiding places.

"I have an idea," Qian Guocheng suggested, "I remember there is an abandoned mine nearby that may provide us with temporary shelter."

"Okay, let's go there." Tang Xiaoxiao agreed. He knew Qian Guocheng was a local. His familiarity with the terrain was their valuable resource.

Led by Tang Xiaoxiao, the team steadily crossed the barren area. Their goal, the abandoned mine, was already faintly visible.

In the silence of the night, a forgotten mine lay quietly in a corner that the moonlight could not reach. This once prosperous mine now only had empty silence and endless darkness, as if it was a secret place forgotten by time. Its entrance, the wooden door eroded by time, was half open, and the rusty iron chain hung weakly, as if telling a story of the past.

Inside the mine, the former bustle has been replaced by silence. The traces of the miners' digging are still visible. The chisel marks on the pitted stone walls are like historical scales, recording the hard work and sweat here. The hook of the mining lamp is still there, but the light has long been gone. Only the faint starlight that occasionally seeps in from the gap brings a tiny comfort to this deep darkness.

"This can serve as a temporary safe haven," Tang Xiaoxiao's voice rang out among the team. Her eyes swept around, alert to possible dangers. "But we need to remain highly vigilant and not let our guard down at all." The young commander's words were full of decisiveness and calmness. Every decision she made was for the safety of the team.

"Old Qian," Tang Xiaoxiao turned to Qian Guocheng, "you will be responsible for the outer defense and make sure we are not caught off guard by any surprise attack. We need to build an impenetrable line of defense in the dark."

Qian Guocheng nodded, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. He immediately began to make arrangements, directing the team members to set up guard points and traps around the mine to ensure protection without blind spots.

Tang Xiaoxiao led the rest of the team into the mine, into the long-forgotten houses. This was where the miners once lived, but now it was just a mess. She assigned tasks, one group was responsible for cleaning the rooms, sweeping the dust, and arranging a place to rest; the other group was responsible for finding possible supplies, food, water, and even some usable tools.

The team members were busy, their tired bodies temporarily forgot their fatigue during the action. They cleaned and carried things, doing every little thing meticulously, because they understood that these trivial tasks were the basis of survival and their shield in the face of unknown dangers. Although their clothes were soaked with sweat and their fingers were scratched, their eyes were burning with a determined fire.

Finally, after some effort, the house was cleaned up in order, and the exhausted team members were able to lie down on the simple beds and take a short rest. They closed their eyes and let their tense nerves relax a little. Although the night outside was full of unknowns, at this moment, they had a moment of peace.

Tang Xiaoxiao and Qian Guocheng took turns to keep watch to ensure that everyone could sleep peacefully. Their vigilance was like the stars in the night sky, illuminating this temporary shelter and guarding every tired soul.
