Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in a civilian compound in the Japanese-occupied area, dozens of tenants living there listened to Xiao Sun, an apprentice at a drugstore, finish reading the article that the Japanese army had hired a literary expert to write. The article did not mention Yaksha in the first place, but was full of ridicule and provocation against Yaksha.

What is "The Locust Army is invincible, but there are some clowns who try to challenge the majesty of the Locust Army in order to gain fame..."

"The commander of the 13th Regiment of the Locust Army, Yoshi Nishijima, proudly stated that the 13th Regiment is not afraid of any threats and will resolutely eliminate the ants who try to provoke the Locust Army."

"I would like to advise those cowards who overestimate their own capabilities that the locust army is invincible, and anyone who destroys the Great Cavern will be destroyed."

Provocative words like these.

After listening to Xiao Sun's recitation, Luo Dawu, the rickshaw puller who couldn't even write his own name, exclaimed:

"Why does it sound to me like this guy named Xidao is going to fight with our Lord Yasha? He wants to have a one-on-one duel?"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Even a laborer like you, Luo Da, can see it, how can others not see it? Why do you need to be smart?" Mrs. Zhao, the fat landlord of the slum, said sarcastically.

Luo Da touched his newly grown stubble shyly and changed the subject:

"Everyone, tell me, will our Lord Yaksha go there tonight?"

Upon hearing this question, everyone unconsciously looked at the most respected man in the compound, Mr. Li Mohan. He was a scholar who had passed the imperial examination in the previous dynasty and was very knowledgeable.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mr. Li Mohan's vanity was greatly satisfied. He took a deep puff of his pipe and thought for a while before speaking:

"If you ask me, Yasha should go. This matter is no longer a matter between Yasha and the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army. They represent the spirit of the Chinese people and the spirit of the Japanese Army respectively. Whoever takes a step back will not only lose face for himself, but for the entire country. So I think Yasha, who claims to be righteous, should go."

What Grandpa Li Mohan said does make sense. The Chinese people value integrity and backbone the most. Most of the residents in the compound nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere has now reached this point. Both sides are in a difficult situation. Whoever backs down will be embarrassed in front of the whole world.

The simple-minded Luo Da thought about it carefully and felt that something was wrong. After thinking for a long time, he asked Mr. Li Mohan with some doubts:

"Old man, the Japanese have made all the necessary preparations. It's like they've set a trap for you, Lord Yasha. If you go now, won't you be sending yourself to die in vain?"

Luo Da's words were very straightforward, which was equivalent to questioning Mr. Li Mohan's words in public.

Old man Li Mohan, whose authority had never been questioned by anyone in the compound, stood up angrily and tapped the ground several times with his cypress cane, saying bitterly, "I'm sorry, but I can't make you a better person."

"Integrity, backbone, backbone, you know? People can die, but the backbone of the Chinese people cannot be lost. Mr. Tan Sitong knew he was going to die, but he still went to die calmly. What was he doing for? The phrase "I wish to be the second Tan Sitong" inspired many passionate men to join the revolution..."

After saying this, Mr. Li Mohan took a breath and said to Luo Da in a mocking tone:

"Do you rough guys understand what integrity and backbone are?"

Old Master Li Mohan was shaking with anger. Everyone was afraid that he might get angry and do something bad, so they quickly helped him sit down and advised him:

"Old man, don't bother with a rough guy. What does he know?"

Due to the large-scale strike in Shanghai, Xiao Tianyi and Xiao Xue, a rare father and daughter at home, sat together and chatted.

Xiao Tianyi looked at the newspapers printed by the Japanese army that his men brought to him, intending to test his daughter.

"Xiao Xue, do you think this Yasha should go tonight?"

If Xiao Xue had not experienced the test of life and death before, she would definitely take it for granted and answer decisively with the righteousness of her family and country:

“You should go!”

But now, after experiencing life and death and facing the helplessness of the Japanese army.

Xiao Xue understood that just shouting slogans of righteousness, brightness and justice would not drive away the Japanese army. Only by being stronger and more shameless than the Japanese army could one defeat them.

"You can't go. You should stay useful so that you can better fight the Japanese invaders, instead of falling into the Japanese trap and dying in vain for the sake of loyalty!" Xiao Xue said in a calm tone.

Xiao Tianyi was greatly surprised to hear this answer which was completely beyond his understanding of his daughter.

Xiao Xue has always been known to show up in public for parades, strikes, and putting herself in the spotlight without having any ideas of her own, which makes Xiao Tianyi very worried.

Unexpectedly, after experiencing the last incident, my daughter has become a completely different person. She has become calm, rational, and no longer so impulsive.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tianyi said to Xiao Xue casually:

"After the strike is over, come to our company every weekend."

Xiao Xue looked at her father in shock, who had never allowed her to participate in the company's business, and couldn't understand why he would give in at this time.

········

Similar discussions were taking place all over Shanghai, with rationalists and people of integrity arguing with each other.

The people in Shanghai now, and even the people in China whose news spread to the rear through telegrams, are silently worried.

I am worried that Yaksha will not go, and I am also worried that Yaksha will go.

At the outskirts of the city, at the base of the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Army, several heavily covered military vehicles drove into the camp of the 13th Regiment.

Under the cover of a large number of tents, many Japanese soldiers got off their vehicles.

What's strange is that most of these Japanese soldiers were holding a Type 89 grenade launcher and carrying a large number of special grenade launcher grenades, while others who didn't carry a grenade launcher were holding mortar parts.

A Japanese lieutenant jumped out of the car, stood at attention and saluted in front of Colonel Nishijima Yoshi.

"Colonel Nishijima, all the grenade throwers and mortar crews of our 35th Regiment are here. Please sign for them."

"Yaksha, if you dare to come, you will die!" Colonel Nishijima Yoshi said with a grim smile as he signed.

Soon, the grenade throwers and mortar teams of the two elite regiments were gathered together and under the planning of the firepower staff, the firepower covered the entire 200-700 meter range around the camp.

After integrating intelligence from various Japanese military units, the Japanese army's firepower equipment became more targeted.

In particular, as Yaksha was good at long-range sniping, the elite grenade throwers of the 35th Regiment were secretly transferred.

Many people have been misled by movies and TV shows and have deified snipers.

The only way to deal with a sniper is another sniper, and the best way to deal with special forces is to use special forces.

But in reality, all armies deal with snipers by directly bombarding them with artillery. If they find a sniper in a certain area, they will directly cover the area with firepower, and attack again if the sniper is not dead.

Snipers in World War II were essentially a type of soldier that consumed large amounts of resources.

Since snipers often need to operate alone in enemy-occupied areas, their survival rate is not much higher than that of ordinary infantry on the front line.
