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

Chapter 331: Shadow pursuit of the murderer, the beheading appears again!

The night was like a huge black curtain, ruthlessly covering this war-torn land.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder mixed with the fishy smell of earth, making people feel depressed and suffocated.

Liu Yuan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes behind the lenses were bloodshot.

He has been working for more than thirty hours straight and dares not stop for a moment.

In front of him, the mountains of archival materials were like demons with bared fangs and claws, trying to devour him.

"call……"

He let out a long breath, rubbed his sore eyes, and forced himself to stay awake.

He must complete the task assigned to him by Brigade Commander Li Jingrong, and complete it as soon as possible!

"Yamada Koji... this 'dead man' is more dangerous than a living person!"

Liu Yuan muttered to himself, his voice low and hoarse.

He picked up the report on Yamada Koji's death again and carefully examined every detail.

Date of death: May 27, 1937

Place of death: Taiyuan Battle front line.

Cause of death: Covered by artillery fire, the body was severely damaged and could not be identified.

Autopsy report: missing.

"Missing?!" Liu Yuan's heart suddenly shook, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.

How could such an important death report be missing an autopsy report?

This is simply unbelievable!

He immediately retrieved the battlefield records of the Battle of Taiyuan and reviewed them carefully.

Soon, he discovered a bigger suspicious point.

According to battlefield records, Yamada Koji's unit at the time was not covered by large-scale artillery fire.

Moreover, his headquarters was quite a distance away from the front line, so it was impossible for it to be hit by artillery fire.

"This... this is simply a forged death report!" Liu Yuan stood up suddenly, his face pale.

He immediately compiled these doubts into a report and walked quickly towards Li Jingrong's office.

"Brigade Commander! I found something!" Liu Yuan's voice was a little hurried.

Li Jingrong put down the documents in his hand, raised his head, and his sharp eyes fell on Liu Yuan.

"explain."

Liu Yuan took a deep breath and told Li Jingrong everything he had discovered.

After listening to Liu Yuan's report, Li Jingrong's face became extremely solemn.

He walked to the map and stared at the location of Taiyuan.

"This Yamada Koji is truly no ordinary person," he said slowly, his voice low and full of authority. "The fact that he was able to forge a death report and conceal it from the public shows that he has a deep background and powerful influence within the Japanese military."

"Brigade Commander, what should we do now?" Liu Yuan asked.

Li Jingrong pondered for a moment.

"To avoid alerting the enemy, we can't conduct an open investigation. Liu Yuan, secretly retrieve old military intelligence files and conduct cross-comparisons to see if you can find more clues about Yamada Koji."

"Yes! Brigade Commander, I understand!" Liu Yuan nodded heavily.

At the same time, in the Yan'an headquarters, in a simple office.

Dongfang Wenyin was standing in front of the deputy commander-in-chief's desk, reporting on some recent work progress.

Her voice is soft and clear, her manners are elegant and proper, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

"...Recently, the ideological awareness of the masses in the base area has been greatly improved. They have actively participated in production labor and enthusiastically signed up to join the army, making great contributions to our war of resistance." Dongfang Wenyin said with a smile.

The deputy commander nodded with satisfaction, a smile of appreciation on his face.

"Comrade Wen Yin, you've done a great job. Political work is our lifeline, and we must grasp it well."

"Yes, Chief, I will definitely keep your instructions in mind." Dongfang Wenyin said humbly.

"By the way, Comrade Wen Yin, I heard that you have been studying some historical archives recently?" the deputy commander asked casually.

Dongfang Wenyin's heart moved, knowing that the main topic had arrived.

She smiled slightly and said softly, "Yes, Commander. I've been sorting through some old military intelligence files lately, hoping to find some valuable clues that can provide some reference for our work."

"Oh? What did you see?" asked the deputy commander with interest.

Dongfang Wenyin pondered for a moment, as if recalling something.

"I saw some information about Yamada Koji," she said casually. "It is said that he was killed in the Battle of Taiyuan three years ago."

The deputy commander's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He said calmly, "Yes, Yamada Koji is dead. This is a matter that has long been settled. You don't need to waste too much time on it."

Dongfang Wenyin noticed that the deputy commander's expression was a little unusual, and he became even more confused.

She asked tentatively, "But I saw some information showing that Yamada Koji's death was a little strange and there seemed to be some doubts."

The deputy commander frowned slightly and his tone became a little serious.

"Comrade Wen Yin, there are some things where knowing too much is actually not good. You should focus on your current work and not worry about things that have already happened."

Dongfang Wenyin's heart trembled, knowing that the deputy commander-in-chief was already somewhat unhappy.

She quickly said, "Yes, Chief, I understand. I will focus more on my current work in the future."

The deputy commander nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Dongfang Wenyin could leave.

After leaving the deputy commander-in-chief's office, Dongfang Wenyin couldn't calm down for a long time.

She keenly felt that the deputy commander seemed to be deliberately concealing something.

"Could it be that... there really is some hidden story behind Yamada Koji's death?" Dongfang Wenyin thought to herself.

That night, Dongfang Wenyin came to Li Jingrong's office and told him the details of his conversation with the deputy commander-in-chief.

After listening to Dongfang Wenyin's story, Li Jingrong's face became extremely serious.

"It seems that someone is deliberately covering up Yamada Koji's whereabouts." He said slowly, his voice low and powerful. "Perhaps... he never really left China."

"Then what should we do now?" Dongfang Wenyin asked.

"Since someone wants to cover this up, we're determined to uncover it! Dongfang, keep an eye on the situation at headquarters and see if you can find any more clues."

"Yes, I understand." Dongfang Wenyin nodded heavily.

At the same time, in the mountains hundreds of miles away from Yan'an.

Zhou Weiguo led the Wolf Warriors and quietly sneaked into an abandoned Japanese intelligence station under the cover of night.

This intelligence station is located in a remote valley, surrounded by weeds and rarely visited by people.

Back then, this was an important intelligence center of the Japanese Army's North China Expeditionary Force, responsible for collecting and analyzing various intelligence.

Since the Japanese army's defeat and surrender, this place has been abandoned.

However, Zhou Weiguo keenly felt that some important secrets might be hidden here.

"Be careful, there may still be some Japanese spies left here." Zhou Weiguo reminded in a low voice.

The members of the Wolf Warrior Squad immediately became alert and carefully searched every corner of the intelligence station.

Soon, they discovered a huge surprise in the basement of the intelligence station.

"Captain! There are a lot of combat telegrams here!" a team member shouted excitedly.

Zhou Weiguo walked over immediately and saw that the basement was filled with boxes of telegram papers, all of which were densely written in Japanese.

"These telegrams were not destroyed?" Zhou Weiguo asked in surprise.

"Yes, Captain. It seems that the Japanese army did not have time to destroy these telegrams when they retreated." The team member replied.

Zhou Weiguo picked up a telegram and read it carefully.

Soon, his expression turned serious.

"The contents of these telegrams... are very important!" he said in a deep voice.

The contents of these telegrams involved various military deployments, intelligence networks and espionage activities of the Japanese army in North China.

Among them, one telegram caught Zhou Weiguo's special attention.

The telegram mentioned an underground base code-named "Shadow Central".

The telegram said that the "Shadow Center" was a secret command center of the Japanese army in North China, responsible for commanding and coordinating various espionage activities.

"Shadow Center... Could this be Yamada Koji's new headquarters?" Zhou Weiguo thought to himself.

He immediately reported this important discovery to Li Jingrong.

Upon hearing the news, Li Jingrong immediately ordered Zhou Weiguo to find out the exact location of the "Shadow Center".

At the same time, Zhao Gang also brought an important news.

"Brigade Commander! I interrogated a captured Japanese puppet spy, and he confessed that he had met Yamada Koji and knew the approximate location of the 'Shadow Center'!" Zhao Gang said excitedly.

"Really?!" Li Jingrong was delighted. "Tell me quickly, where is the 'Shadow Center'?"

Zhao Gang pulled out a blurry map and pointed to a location. "According to the spy, the 'Shadow Center' is located in an abandoned mine deep within the Loess Plateau," he said.

"Abandoned mine?" Li Jingrong frowned slightly.

"Yes, Brigade Commander. The spy said that the mine is very hidden and the surrounding terrain is complex, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack." Zhao Gang explained.

"Okay! Let's set off immediately and head to that abandoned mine!" he ordered decisively.

That night, Li Jingrong personally led an elite force and, under the cover of darkness, quietly advanced deep into the Loess Plateau.

They traveled through mountains and rivers, slept in the open air, and after going through untold hardships, they finally arrived near the abandoned mine.

The mine is located in a remote valley, with no one living around it and only the howling cold wind echoing in the valley.

Li Jingrong stood on the top of the mountain, raised a telescope, and carefully observed the situation in the mine.

At the entrance of the mine, some sentries could be vaguely seen moving around.

"It seems that Yamada Koji is hiding here indeed." Li Jingrong said coldly.

"Brigade Commander, what should we do now?" Duan Peng asked.

"We must capture this mine as quickly as possible and completely crush Yamada Koji's plot!" He ordered decisively, "Duan Peng, you lead a team and attack from the front to attract the enemy's attention. Zhou Weiguo, you lead the Wolf Warriors to go around to the rear of the mine and attack from behind."

"Yes!" Duan Peng and Zhou Weiguo answered in unison.

The battle soon began.

Duan Peng led a team of soldiers and launched a fierce attack on the entrance of the mine.

Gunshots, cannon fire, explosions...all kinds of sounds intertwined together and echoed throughout the valley.

The Japanese sentry immediately fought back, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

At the same time, Zhou Weiguo led the Wolf Warrior team and quietly went around to the back of the mine.

They took advantage of the terrain and quietly approached the back door of the mine.

"Action!" Zhou Weiguo ordered in a low voice.
