Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

Chapter 319 The shadow appears and the secret war begins again!

The soldiers of the New 1st Brigade were busy shuttling back and forth on the battlefield littered with corpses. The setting sun dyed the earth blood red, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and the sickening smell of blood.

Li Jingrong stood in front of the makeshift command post, watching all this silently, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Suddenly, Liu Yuan ran over in a panic, holding a crumpled Japanese document in his hand: "Brigade Commander, we found a top-secret order in Yamada Jiro's personal files!"

Li Jingrong took the document and read it carefully, his face instantly turning pale.

It was written on it: "If the attack fails and Yamada's troops are completely wiped out, immediately activate the 'Shadow Plan'!"

"Shadow Project?" Li Jingrong muttered to himself, and a chill instantly surged into his heart.

He looked up at Liu Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Have you found out what this 'Shadow Project' is?"

Liu Yuan shook his head and said solemnly, "This document doesn't contain any detailed explanations. It only states that once 'Shadow' is activated, it will cause irreparable damage to our base!"

Li Jingrong tightly grasped the documents in his hand, his brows furrowed, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

It seems that the Japanese's actions this time are far more complicated than they imagined.

Zhou Weiguo walked up to Li Jingrong, looked at his serious expression, and asked, "Brigade Commander, what happened?"

Li Jingrong handed the document to Zhou Weiguo and said in a deep voice, "It seems that what we have eliminated is just the vanguard of the Japanese army. The truly terrifying thing is waiting for us behind!"

He looked up into the distance. The sun was setting, leaving only a sliver of crimson on the horizon, as if foreshadowing the impending darkness and crisis...

"Notify everyone immediately and have the entire brigade enter level one combat readiness!" Li Jingrong ordered firmly.

On the third day after the battle, the smell of gunpowder in the air had not yet completely dissipated, but the soldiers of the New 1st Brigade had already begun the intensive post-war reconstruction work.

Li Jingrong knew very well that after a victory, one must be more vigilant against the enemy's counterattack.

Liu Yuan hurried into the command center with a hint of excitement and worry on his face.

"Brigade Commander! New discovery!"

Li Jingrong put down the telescope in his hand and his sharp eyes fell on Liu Yuan.

"What discovery?"

Liu Yuan handed Li Jingrong a few blackened fragments of documents and said solemnly, "While sorting through the remaining documents from the enemy headquarters, we discovered an encrypted instruction that had been burned but not completely destroyed. It took me a lot of effort to piece it back together."

Li Jingrong took the fragment and carefully identified the incomplete Japanese words on it.

With the dim light of the oil lamp, he could barely make out a few key words - "Shadow Project", "lurking", and "destruction".

His face turned pale in an instant, and a chill ran through his head.

"'Shadow Plan' is not a lie. The enemy had already laid down hidden plans before the war." Liu Yuan's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously shocked by the contents of the document.

Li Jingrong took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Immediately block this information and conduct a brigade-wide investigation. No one, including new recruits, should be spared!"

"This matter is of no trivial importance and must be handled with extreme caution." Zhao Gang pushed his glasses, and a gleam of light flashed behind the lenses.

In the command center, Zhao Gang, Dongfang Wenyin, and Liu Yuan were sitting around a simple table piled with various documents and lists.

Li Jingrong has assigned them the task of screening out the undercover personnel of the "Shadow Project".

"I suggest starting with the personnel we've recently transferred to the logistics, communications, and medical systems." Dongfang Wenyin tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers as he calmly analyzed, "These departments hold the lifeblood of our forces. If they're infiltrated by the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement.

"I have a list of people who have been transferred in recently. Let's check them one by one."

The two of them carefully reviewed the list, checking each person's information one by one.

Suddenly, Dongfang Wenyin's eyes stopped on a name - Lin Sen, who claimed to be a "temporary liaison officer" sent by the headquarters.

"This person... is a bit suspicious." Dongfang Wenyin pointed at Lin Sen on the list, frowning slightly.

"Although he had credentials, he was unable to accurately answer questions about headquarters' staffing. Furthermore, his transfer order was somewhat suspicious, with no clear dispatching unit or person in charge."

Zhao Gang's expression also turned serious. "I will verify his identity with headquarters immediately."

After an urgent verification, the headquarters replied that no "temporary liaison officer" had been dispatched to the New 1st Brigade recently.

"There is something wrong with this person. He must be controlled." Dongfang Wenyin's voice was very soft, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

As night fell, the camp of the New 1st Brigade was shrouded in darkness.

Only the occasional chirping of insects proves that there is still life here.

Zhou Weiguo led the members of the Wolf Warrior Special Forces and lurked quietly near an abandoned warehouse outside the camp.

Their mission is to capture the suspicious person Lin Sen.

"Captain, do you think this Lin Sen is a spy for the Japanese?" Duan Peng asked in a low voice with a hint of excitement in his tone.

Zhou Weiguo shook his head and looked into the distance with a cold gaze.

"No matter who he is, as long as he dares to harm our New First Brigade, we will never let him go!"

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence all around.

Suddenly, the door of the warehouse creaked open and a figure walked out cautiously.

"It's him!" Duan Peng exclaimed in a low voice.

Zhou Weiguo made a gesture, signaling the team members to get ready.

The figure looked around furtively, then quickly moved towards the outskirts of the camp.

"Take action!" Zhou Weiguo gave an order, and the members of the Wolf Warrior team rushed out like arrows, and instantly knocked the figure to the ground.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" The figure shouted in horror and struggled desperately.

"We are soldiers from the New 1st Brigade, and we have been ordered to arrest you!" Zhou Weiguo said coldly, pressing the figure to the ground.

After a search, the Wolf Warriors found a pocket watch with a special mark on the figure.

"This is..." Zhou Weiguo picked up the pocket watch and looked at the mark on it carefully. His face instantly became solemn.

"This is a token from the Japanese spy organization 'Black Crow Branch'!"

In the interrogation room, Lin Sen was tied to a chair with his hands and feet tied up, trembling all over and his face pale.

"Tell me! Who are you? What exactly is the 'Shadow Project'?" Zhao Gang asked sternly.

Lin Sen clenched his teeth and said nothing.

"Do you think we can't find out if you don't tell us?" Dongfang Wenyin sneered, "Don't forget, this is the New 1st Brigade, not a place where you spies can do whatever you want!"

No matter how Zhao Gang and Dongfang Wenyin interrogated him, Lin Sen always refused to reveal the mastermind behind the incident and just kept begging for mercy.

"It seems that we are really in trouble this time." Li Jingrong stood in the command center, looking at the map on the wall with a frown.

"This 'Shadow Project' is like a sword hanging over our heads, and it may fall at any time." Zhao Gang said worriedly.

"We must find out the content of this plan as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable," Dongfang Wenyin added.

"I've decided to place the entire brigade on Level 2 combat readiness!" Li Jingrong declared decisively. "Each regiment is to intensify nighttime patrols and increase communications encryption. At the same time, I've ordered Liu Yuan to focus on monitoring suspicious radio signals in the surrounding areas."

"In addition, a 'Spectral Shadow Task Force' will be established, consisting of Zhao Gang, Dongfang Wenyin, and Liu Yuan, to track down hidden forces."

"Yes!" The three of them responded in unison.

Li Jingrong walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky in the distance, his heart full of worry.

He vaguely felt that a bigger conspiracy was quietly approaching.

He murmured to himself: "It seems that the real battle has just begun..."

Just then, Liu Yuan walked in with a telegram, looking a little strange.

"Commander, we intercepted a strange message while monitoring the enemy's radio station. Please take a look..."

Li Jingrong took the telegram and read it carefully.

The content of the telegram was very brief, consisting of only one sentence:

"The fish are in the net, waiting to be harvested." [Reversal foreshadowing: The enemy reappears]

Li Jingrong's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.

Fish in the net?

who is it?

What are you waiting to harvest?

He immediately ordered: "Liu Yuan, track down the source of this radio wave! Make sure to lock the location!"

However, before Liu Yuan could take action, Zhao Gang walked in with a serious expression, breaking the tense atmosphere in the command post.

"Brigade Commander, urgent telegram from headquarters!" He handed over a thin telegram paper and lowered his voice to a very low level.

Li Jingrong took the telegram, glanced at it quickly, and his face turned ashen in an instant. A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

The contents of the telegram were like a bucket of ice water, completely extinguishing his newly ignited hope. "The information on the 'Shadow Project' seized by your unit is only superficial; the core is still being implemented."

"How is this possible?!" Li Jingrong suddenly raised his head. They had put in so much effort to capture spies and decipher documents, but was everything just in vain?

At this moment, the harsh noise of the radio resounded through the command post.

Liu Yuan rushed in with a pale face, his voice trembling slightly, "Brigade Commander! I... I've detected a high-frequency radio signal that has never been recorded before, coming from deep within our controlled area!"

The air in the command post seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Yuan.

Li Jingrong clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles made a crackling sound.

He knew that the real crisis was far more complicated and dangerous than they had imagined.

The real hunting has just begun.

And the enemy may be closer... and more dangerous than they think.

"Lock on the signal source," Li Jingrong's voice seemed to come from an icy cave, filled with chilling murderous intent, "at all costs!"
