Spy Wars: I Can See What's In Your Heart

Chapter 26: An Ambush in Hulu Lane

To capture twelve Japanese spies at one time, Lu Yan's team alone is obviously short of manpower.

Although Hulu Lane is located in Zhabei and belongs to the Chinese area, they can use the police for help.

But Lu Yan felt that it was not safe enough. It was okay for the police to bully ordinary people.

It was indeed a bit difficult for them to capture the well-trained Japanese spy agents.

If they accidentally alerted the Japanese spies and scared them away, they would suffer a great loss.

So as soon as he returned upstairs, Lu Yan instructed Luo Mingyu again: "Contact the stationmaster immediately and request reinforcements."

"Yes!" Luo Mingyu quickly took the order and went out.

At that time, the Military Control Commission had a total of three groups in Shanghai.

As for Lu Yan's group, it is the weakest because some members were lost some time ago.

The only core members left are Lu Yan, Lin Fei and Luo Mingyu.

Therefore, Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng were transferred from Jinling.

After Luo Mingyu left, Lu Yan took out another key and threw it to Chen Yongren: "Yongren, there is a secret door on the north side of the interrogation room downstairs, and inside is our group's weapons depot.

There are currently eight gunmen in our group. In order to avoid being exposed, they usually do not carry guns.

Take your guns and bullets and come with me to Hulu Lane."

Chen Yongren took the key and nodded, then took Zhang Haifeng back to the basement.

The two men took guns and bullets from the armory, but when they returned to the ground, Lu Yan was nowhere to be found.

Just when I was wondering, Lu Yan walked down from a room on the second floor.

I saw that he had changed his clothes, wearing a black felt hat, a gray gown, but leather shoes and trousers.

He was holding a black briefcase in his right hand, and looked like a businessman or a government employee.

Lu Yan nodded to the two of them and said, "Let's go, take a rickshaw outside, put the gun away, and give it to Lin Fei when we get there."

For some reason, Chen Yongren always felt that Lu Yan's outfit gave him the illusion that he was not going to catch a Japanese spy, but rather going to drink coffee and discuss business.

Perhaps, it’s because they have been in Shanghai for too long, so they dress more elegantly than people from other places.

However, to some extent, this is also a relatively good disguise, right?

Who cares? As long as we can successfully capture the Japanese spy, it will be a great achievement.

You can also get new chances to win prizes.

After calming down their inner thoughts, Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng found two suitcases, put all the guns and bullets in them, and walked out of the photo studio carrying the suitcases.

Lu Yan and I each called a rickshaw and headed towards Hulu Lane.

……

Hongkou, Japanese Concession.

In the tea room, Enping Taro, codenamed Pangolin, was sitting cross-legged. Next to him, a young woman in a kimono was kneeling on the ground, making tea for him.

Opposite him, there was also a woman kneeling, but this woman was wearing a military uniform.

It is in stark contrast to the woman in kimono next to her.

One is heroic and the other is gentle.

The woman in military uniform was none other than Mieko Sakai, the then head of the Shanghai Station of Japan's Special High Police.

Taking a cup of freshly brewed tea from the woman in kimono, Enpei Taro glanced at Sakai Mieko, took a sip and said, "Sakai, is everything arranged?"

Facing her immediate superior, Sakai Mieko changed her usual cold and arrogant attitude towards others, and bowed her head slightly in a humble manner: "Yes, Section Chief, according to your instructions, we have set up an ambush in Hulu Lane.

Once the Military Control Commission members take the bait, they can be captured in one fell swoop."

Yanping Taro put down his teacup, his eyes flashing with hatred as he said, "We have suffered too much loss in Nanjing, this time we must get it back from the Military Control Commission with interest."

Mieko Sakai raised her head and looked at Enping Taro: "From Ichiro Iwata to Hui Ge, the Chinese Military Intelligence Department would never have thought that these were all baits left in advance by you, Section Chief."

"No one would have thought that after all our intelligence personnel were lost, you would immediately start a new plan."

Yanping Taro enjoyed Sakai Mieko's compliment, and stared at Sakai Mieko's bulging military uniform with narrowed eyes: "Severely damaging or even destroying the Chinese intelligence agencies in Shanghai and avenging the attack on Nanjing is only one of the goals.

Weakening the Chinese government's intelligence capabilities in Shanghai will help us implement a series of important operations, such as destroying the Shanghai-Hangzhou and Beijing-Shanghai railways, as well as important bridges and passes along the way and the Chinese's secret arsenals in Shanghai and Suzhou.

According to reliable information, the Chinese top brass has decided to take the initiative in Shanghai. We must do everything we can to disrupt their logistics and transportation supply lines to cooperate with the Marine Corps' defense. "

"This is the core purpose of the entire rainstorm plan!"

"These damned Chinese actually disregarded the last Songhu Armistice Agreement and secretly set up arsenals around Shanghai. How despicable!"

Mieko Sakai had a cold face and was filled with indignation.

Yanping Taro said calmly: "The Imperial Army has already started a war with the Northern Chinese Army in the Pingjin area. None of this matters. As long as we can successfully complete the entire heavy rain plan, it will be a great achievement.

Just in case, Sakai, you should go to Zhabei in person to take charge."

"Yes!" Mieko Sakai quickly put down the teacup she had just picked up and nodded heavily to accept the order.

……

No. 223, Suzhou North Road, Zhabei.

Hongchang Steel Shop.

This is the Military Control Commission’s Shanghai Station, a secret station in Zhabei.

When Chen Yongren, Zhang Haifeng and Lu Yan arrived by rickshaw, Lin Fei and others were already waiting there.

The three of them got off the car one after another, pretending to be businessmen purchasing steel and entered the shop. They were immediately led into the back hall by Lin Fei.

"Team leader, I have arranged two brothers to lurk in the Hulu Alley area and wait for you."

"Okay." Lu Yan nodded and waved his hand to signal Chen Yongren and Zhang Haifeng to distribute guns to Lin Fei and others.

Lin Fei and a field gunman specially took two more guns and prepared to distribute them to the two people who were on the lookout.

Just as they had divided the guns, Luo Mingyu was brought in from outside by a clerk from the steel shop.

The waiter led the man to the place and left. Without waiting for Lu Yan to ask, Luo Mingyu said, "The stationmaster has sent 20 men to provide reinforcements. To conceal their whereabouts, they have disguised themselves as merchants and are heading to Hulu Lane in batches."

"How far is this place from Hulu Lane?"

Lu Yan nodded and asked Lin Fei again.

"It's less than 500 meters away. Walk along Suzhou North Road to the end and turn onto Xizang North Road. It's the third alley on the south side."

Lin Fei answered immediately.

Lu Yan loaded his gun and ordered in a deep voice: "Action now!"

"Yes!" Chen Yongren, Zhang Haifeng, Luo Mingyu, Lin Fei and others responded in unison.

Then he followed Lu Yan and led people out of the steel shop in batches and rushed to Hulu Lane.

On the north side of Tibet Road opposite Hulu Lane, there is a teahouse called Qinghe Teahouse.

Because there are more than 30 steel industries gathered on the nearby Suzhou North Road, there is an endless stream of merchants coming every day to purchase various steel and steel products.

With a large flow of customers, there is a great demand for teahouses, restaurants and other industries, and this Qinghe Teahouse came into being.

Due to its good geographical location, Qinghe Teahouse has a very good business, and most of its customers are traveling merchants who need to have confidential business talks.

There are several private rooms on the second floor of Qinghe Teahouse.

At this time, in a private room by the window on the second floor of the teahouse, Mieko Sakai, who had changed into men's casual clothes, was drinking tea while observing the bustling flow of people on the street.

Suddenly, the door of the box room was pushed open from the outside. The two Japanese agents guarding the door immediately became alert and reached under their coats where the guns were hidden.

When they saw clearly that the person coming in was one of their own, the two Japanese agents breathed a sigh of relief.

The man nodded to the two agents, closed the door, and walked straight to Sakai Mieko's table. He bowed his head respectfully and said, "Stationmaster, the Military Control Commission has taken the bait. Many unfamiliar faces have suddenly appeared near Hulu Alley."

Upon hearing this, Mieko Sakai raised her eyebrows, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at him, then turned around and looked out the window. As expected, she found that near the entrance of Hulu Lane, there were many people dressed in tight clothes gathering.

Sakai Mieko had a smug sneer on her face, and without even turning her head, she gave the order: "Notify Matsushita-kun, prepare to close the net, and make sure to wipe them out completely!"

"Ha!" The man behind him responded and immediately left the room.
