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

Chapter 329: Flames burn the heart, blood washes the poisonous food!

"Hurry! Put out the fire! Grab the food!"

As soon as Li Jingrong got out of the car, his hoarse roar resounded through the night sky.

The fire from the granary illuminated his resolute face and the rage burning in his eyes.

The soldiers had already organized themselves spontaneously, using basins, buckets, and even taking off their clothes, and rushed into the fire desperately.

Water was poured on the flames, making a hissing sound, and white smoke rose up, filling the air with a pungent burnt smell.

"Stop burning! These are the people's food rations and the blood and sweat of the soldiers!" Li Jingrong roared and rushed to the front.

He grabbed the wet quilt beside him and whipped the flames hard, completely ignoring the raging heat and flying sparks.

Dongfang Wenyin also arrived. Her face was pale, but she still gave orders calmly: "Carry the injured soldiers down! Those who are not injured, help me rescue the food! Prioritize rescuing the undamaged areas!"

Liu Yuan stumbled over, his face covered in soot. He grabbed Li Jingrong and shouted anxiously, "Brigade Commander, I found this!" He handed Li Jingrong a piece of charred wreckage, on which some strange crystals were vaguely visible.

Li Jingrong took the wreckage and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed more and more.

"This is... the residue of chemical reagents!" His face was ashen, and his voice was terrifyingly low. "It seems that the 'Night Owl' used a delayed combustion device. They want to completely destroy our food reserves!"

"Seal off all the granaries! Check them one by one! Don't miss any corner!" Li Jingrong's order was firm and unquestionable.

He knew very well that if the enemy could blow up one granary, they could blow up more.

"Zhou Weiguo!" Li Jingrong turned to Zhou Weiguo, who was standing beside him, with a sharp gaze. "Take the Wolf Warriors and immediately investigate the transportation routes of this incident. I want to know the origin and destination of every grain truck!"

Zhou Weiguo straightened his back, his eyes cold, "Yes! I guarantee to complete the mission!" He led the Wolf Warrior team members and quickly disappeared into the night.

The lights in the Yan'an security department were on all night long.

Zhao Gang, together with his comrades from the security department, conducted a surprise interrogation of the logistics personnel responsible for food allocation.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue and anxiety.

"Tell the truth! Who is Night Owl's accomplice? Who participated in this poisoning incident?" Zhao Gang's voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling sense of oppression.

At first, everyone denied it and claimed their innocence.

But Zhao Gang did not give up. With his keen insight and rich interrogation experience, he peeled off their disguise bit by bit.

"I'll give you one last chance! Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist!" Zhao Gang's eyes were like sharp swords, sweeping across everyone's face.

Finally, under tremendous pressure, a logistics staff member responsible for food dispatch collapsed.

He confessed tremblingly that he had received a remittance of unknown origin before the war. The other party claimed to be from the "Night Owl" organization and asked him to poison the food.

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..." The man wailed and confessed everything he knew.

He also revealed that in addition to the granary that had exploded, three more batches of "poisonous grain" were about to be shipped to the front line.

Liu Yuan's office was piled high with shipping documents.

He wore thick glasses and flipped through the pages carefully, his eyes bloodshot.

"Found it!" He suddenly raised his head, pointed at a document, and shouted excitedly: "There's something wrong with the numbering of this grain truck! It doesn't conform to the normal numbering rules!"

After receiving a call from Liu Yuan, Zhou Weiguo immediately led the Wolf Warrior team to set up an ambush on the road leading to the front line.

The night was deep and all was quiet except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

The Wolf Warriors held their breath, hid in the darkness, and waited for their target to appear.

In the distance, there was a roar of an engine, and a grain truck was slowly approaching.

Zhou Weiguo's eyes narrowed and he waved his hand, and the Wolf Warriors immediately took action.

"Stop! Accept inspection!" The Wolf Warriors rushed out from the darkness and surrounded the grain truck.

The driver was so frightened that he stepped on the brakes and raised his hands tremblingly.

Zhou Weiguo looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the car! Accept inspection!"

The driver did not dare to delay and got out of the car tremblingly.

The Wolf Warriors immediately searched the grain truck.

"Captain! We've made a discovery!" a member of the Wolf Warrior team shouted excitedly.

Zhou Weiguo walked over and saw the Wolf Warrior team member pointing to the mezzanine of the carriage, where some dry food wrapped in oil paper was hidden.

Zhou Weiguo picked up a piece of dry food, broke it open and took a look, his brows immediately frowned.

The color of the dry food is a little dark and it has a faint peculiar smell.

"This... this is dry food mixed with chronic toxins!" Zhou Weiguo's face turned pale. He immediately ordered: "Arrest the driver! Interrogate him strictly!"

After interrogation, the driver confessed that this batch of dry food was intended to be transported to a main column that was assembling in order to weaken their combat effectiveness.

Li Jingrong was extremely anxious when he heard the news.

He immediately ordered vehicles to be prepared and personally led the team to the target column headquarters.

In the darkness of night, several military jeeps were speeding along the rugged mountain road.

Li Jingrong sat in the car, clenching his fists tightly, his heart full of worry.

"We must stop them before they eat the poisoned food!" he swore secretly.

However, things did not go so smoothly.

When they were still a few kilometers away from the target column's location, they were attacked by a small group of enemy forces.

"Da da da……"

Bullets rained down like raindrops, hitting the jeep with bang bang sounds.

"Hide! Fight back!" Li Jingrong gave the order decisively.

The soldiers quickly jumped out of their vehicles and used the terrain to fight back. The sound of gunfire and explosions echoed throughout the valley.

Li Jingrong calmly commanded the battle

After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the enemy's attack.

But the jeep was also severely damaged and could not continue driving.

"Get off the car! Run forward!" Li Jingrong shouted loudly.

The soldiers jumped out of the car without hesitation and ran towards the target column station in the hail of bullets.

When they arrived at the column headquarters panting, they found that the soldiers had already started eating.

"Stop it!" Li Jingrong shouted at the top of his lungs.

His voice echoed across the empty camp, and everyone froze, looking at him in confusion.

"These dry rations are poisonous! They cannot be eaten!" Li Jingrong rushed to the soldiers and snatched the dry rations from their hands.

Upon hearing the news, the column commander rushed over and looked at the sweaty Li Jingrong with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Brigade Commander Li, what...what's going on?"

Li Jingrong didn't bother to explain and told him what had happened briefly.

After hearing this, the commander's face turned pale instantly. He held Li Jingrong's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Brigade Commander Li, you...you really saved our entire regiment!"

The soldiers looked at each other.

Li Jingrong looked around at those young faces, his heart filled with emotion.

"Comrades, the real war has just begun..." He paused, his tone becoming more resolute, "The conspiracy of 'Night Owl' will never succeed! We will definitely crush them completely!"

The night wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

Li Jingrong looked at the dark night sky in the distance, his eyes deep and firm.

"Dongfang, what do you think Night Owl will do next?"

"The failure of the mission does not affect the main plan. 'Night Owl' has entered the second phase." Liu Yuan's voice trembled slightly, breaking the silence of the command center.

There was a crackling sound in the radio waves, as if the enemy's sinister laughter was also coming along, which made people shudder.

Li Jingrong put down the teacup in his hand. The scalding tea made his palms red, but he didn't care at all.

He walked to the map, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning every corner.

"Phase Two... What exactly do they want to do?"

Zhao Gang frowned as the cigarette butt burned out between his fingers, burning so much that he gasped.

"Could it be targeting our arsenal? Or our rear hospital?"

Dongfang Wenyin shook her head and denied it, "It can't be that simple. 'Night Owl' has put so much thought into this, they definitely wouldn't just do these little things." She walked over to Li Jingrong and whispered, "I have a feeling they have a bigger conspiracy."

Li Jingrong took a deep breath. The air was filled with a faint smell of gunpowder and a lingering burnt smell.

He closed his eyes, and the image of the burned granary and the soldiers who were nearly poisoned came to his mind.

A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, making him feel suffocated.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly and stared at an inconspicuous town on the map - Zhaojia Town.

He remembered a piece of intelligence he had intercepted before, which seemed to indicate that there was an abandoned mine there.

"Liu Yuan, continue monitoring the enemy stations, and focus on Zhaojia Town!" Li Jingrong picked up the pistol on the table and pulled the bolt, making a crisp metallic clang. "Looks like we need to go meet these 'Night Owls'."
