Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

Lu Yang felt a deep sense of crisis.

He knew that if "Zero" could not be eradicated as soon as possible, the entire mountain city would be in danger of falling.

He must take action!

Lu Yang decided to use these arrested policemen to set a trap for "Zero" to lure him out of his hole and catch him in one fell swoop.

He asked Lao Wei to select several weak-willed policemen and have them pretend to surrender and continue to provide intelligence to "Zero", but in fact, the intelligence they provided was all false information carefully planned by Lu Yang.

Lu Yang hopes to confuse "Zero" through these false news and make him reveal his flaws.

In the next few days, Lu Yang closely monitored the movements of "Zero" while stepping up his investigation into clues related to the "Pangu Project."

He found Li Weimin, hoping to get more information from him.

"Mr. Li, I hope you can tell me the specifics of the 'Pangu Project,'" Lu Yang said. "The situation is extremely urgent. If we can't find the 'Pangu Project' quickly, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Weimin was still hesitant. He knew that the "Pangu Project" was top secret and could not be leaked easily.

"Major General Lu, I..."

Lu Yang interrupted him, "Mr. Li, I'm not asking you, I'm ordering you! Now is a time of war. For the benefit of the country and the nation, you must obey orders!"

Li Weimin looked at Lu Yang's determined eyes and finally compromised.

"Okay, Major General Lu, I can tell you the details of the 'Pangu Project,'" Li Weimin said. "But you must promise not to leak it."

Lu Yang nodded, "I promise."

Li Weimin took a deep breath and said slowly, "The 'Pangu Project' is a secret plan aimed at improving China's industrial and technological capabilities. It includes a series of measures, including introducing advanced foreign technology, cultivating local scientific and technological talent, and establishing new industrial bases."

"One of the most critical items is to introduce a batch of advanced equipment from the United States. These equipment will be used to build China's own aircraft manufacturing plant," Li Weimin continued.

"Aircraft manufacturing plant?" Lu Yang's mind moved. He knew the importance of aircraft in war. If China could establish its own aircraft manufacturing plant, it would greatly enhance China's air force and be more advantageous in the war against Japan.

"Where are these devices now?" Lu Yang asked anxiously.

"The equipment is stored in a secret warehouse outside Chongqing," Li Weimin replied. "It's heavily guarded, manned by elite Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics troops."

Lu Yang nodded, and a plan came to his mind. He decided to go to the secret warehouse in person to see if there was anything suspicious there.

That night, Lu Yang quietly left the city of Chongqing and came to the secret warehouse in the suburbs.

The warehouse is located in a valley, surrounded by dense forests, and is very hidden. The warehouse is surrounded by barbed wire and sentries, and the oxpaha is very tight.

Lu Yang was as light as a swallow and as swift as a ghost. With the help of his surroundings, he swiftly and silently avoided all the sentries and the tight barbed wire fences. Like a ghost in the dark night, he successfully sneaked into the warehouse.

Upon entering the warehouse, the first thing that caught my eye was a bright light, illuminating the entire space like daylight. Rows of massive wooden crates were neatly arranged, like soldiers on parade. Clear, eye-catching English labels emblazoned on the crates confirmed they had been shipped all the way across the ocean from the United States.

Lu Yang tiptoed quietly toward one of the wooden boxes. He took a deep breath, then carefully and gently opened the lid. Suddenly, a box filled with a variety of machine parts appeared before him. These parts were meticulously crafted, each detail revealing a high level of craftsmanship. At a glance, it was clear they were key components specifically designed for advanced aircraft.

Looking at these precious parts, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement. He knew that if this batch of equipment could be successfully put into use, it would be a milestone breakthrough for the Chinese Air Force, and its overall strength would be significantly improved.

However, just as Lu Yang was immersed in joy and anticipation, a sudden, noisy noise erupted from outside the warehouse. Then, a stern voice shouted, "Who is it?" This angry shout was like a thunderbolt piercing the night sky, instantly shattering the originally peaceful atmosphere.

Lu Yang was shocked, he knew he was exposed.

He immediately closed the wooden box and rushed out of the warehouse.

Just then, he saw a group of soldiers in Japanese uniforms rushing into the warehouse.

"Catch him!" a Japanese officer shouted in Japanese.

Lu Yang knew he had fallen into a trap! "Zero" had known his plan for a long time and was waiting for him here.

He immediately drew his pistol and shot at the Japanese soldiers.

The sound of gunfire resounded through the night sky, and a fierce battle broke out again...

Relying on his excellent marksmanship and agility, Lu Yang fought a fierce battle with the Japanese soldiers in the warehouse.

He retreated out of the warehouse while shooting.

However, the number of Japanese soldiers was too large, and they were all well-trained and coordinated well, so Lu Yang was soon surrounded by them.

Lu Yang felt that the situation was extremely critical and he knew that he might not be able to escape.

Just then, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Boss! We're here to save you!"

Lu Yang looked up and saw Lao Wei and a group of Military Control Commission agents rushing into the warehouse.

"Kill!" Lao Wei shouted and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers first.

The Military Intelligence Bureau agents were not to be outdone. They were well-trained and worked in perfect harmony, and soon engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese soldiers.

With the help of the Military Intelligence Bureau agents, Lu Yang finally broke free from the encirclement of Japanese soldiers and escaped from the warehouse.

"Boss, are you okay?" Lao Wei asked with concern.

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's go!"

Lu Yang took Lao Wei and the Military Control Commission agents and quickly evacuated the warehouse.

Shortly after they evacuated, they heard a huge explosion in the warehouse.

boom!

The warehouse was blown to pieces, and all the equipment inside was blown to pieces.

Lu Yang stopped and looked back at the bombed warehouse, his heart filled with anger.

"Zero" was so cruel that it would rather blow up these precious equipment than let them fall into the hands of China.

"Boss, what should we do next?" asked Lao Wei.

Lu Yang took a deep breath. He knew that his battle with "Zero" had just begun.

"Go back to Chongqing!" Lu Yang said, "We must find 'Zero' and completely crush his conspiracy!"

It was already dawn when Lu Yang returned to downtown Chongqing. Instead of returning to the safe house, he went directly to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.

He needed to report the situation to Dai Yunong and ask for his support.

"You're back." Dai Yunong looked at Lu Yang and said solemnly, "I know. The warehouse was blown up."

Lu Yang nodded and told Dai Yunong in detail what happened last night.

Dai Yunong was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems that Zero's power is even stronger than we imagined. He not only infiltrated the police station, but also the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and even bribed people within the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

"We must take action and eradicate 'zero' as soon as possible," said Dai Yunong.

"I've got a plan," Lu Yang said. "I want to use those arrested police officers to set up a trap for Zero, lure him out, and catch him in one fell swoop."

Dai Yunong nodded. "This plan is feasible, but it's very risky. You must be careful and cautious, and not make any mistakes."

"I understand." Lu Yang said.

"I will fully support you," Dai Yunong said. "If you need anything, just ask."

Lu Yang glanced at Dai Yunong gratefully, then said, "I need a list of all the important people in Chongqing, including their home addresses, workplaces, social connections, and so on."

"Also, I need an elite action team. They must be absolutely loyal and have excellent skills."

Dai Yunong nodded and said, "I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

With Dai Yunong's support, Lu Yang felt more confident. He believed that as long as he worked hard enough, he would be able to find "Zero" and stop his conspiracy.

Before the sun had even emerged from the muddy pond, the fog from Yuzhou City had already poured out, like a pot with its lid opened, its steaming hot liquid sticking to people's faces. On the corner, blind old Zhong squatted, hunched over, smoking a pipe. The sparks from his pipe flickered on and off, illuminating his weather-beaten face, the wrinkles of which looked as if they had been carved by a knife.

This city is in chaos.

Blind Old Zhong had witnessed countless chaos in his life. Soldiers and ruffians invaded the city, burning, killing, and looting; clandestine clashes erupted, blood splattering everywhere; Japanese planes bombed the city, blasting the sky and the earth to dust, leaving missing limbs and bodies everywhere. But none of that could compare to the chaos of today. The Japanese were devils, outsiders, and they were acting openly and brazenly. Most terrifying of all were those wolves lurking in the shadows, wearing human skins. They were even more ruthless and vicious than the devils.

Old Zhong was blind, but he had a clear mind. Last night, he heard gunshots again, from the south end of the city, intermittent and frightening. He knew someone was in trouble again.

There are eyes everywhere in this city.

Lao Zhong could only play dumb, pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. Before his wife left, she held his hand and told him incoherently: "Live...live..." Because of her words, he could not care about anything or ask anything.

Life must be lived one day at a time.

Early in the morning, blind Old Zhong groped his way out of the house, intending to have some tea at a teahouse. As he reached the street corner, he saw a few unfamiliar faces. They were wearing blue cloth jackets, had fierce eyes, and bulged waists. It was obvious at a glance that they were hardened warriors. Old Zhong quickly lowered his head and quickened his pace.

There was a commotion outside the rice shop. The price of rice had gone up again. Old Zhong cursed inwardly, thinking, "This world is really going to drive the poor to death!"

He was about to leave when he heard someone calling his name: "Uncle Zhong!"

Old Zhong was stunned, stopped, and turned around gropingly.

"Lu...Young Master Lu?" Old Zhong asked uncertainly.

Standing in front of him was a young man in a gray suit and a top hat that covered half of his face.

"Uncle Zhong, it's me." The young man took off his hat, revealing a sharp-edged face. It was Lu Yang.

Old Zhong groped for Lu Yang's hand and said excitedly, "Master Lu, you...why are you back?"

"Uncle Zhong, I came back to do something." Lu Yang said with a smile.

"Young Master Lu, this city is very chaotic, you have to be careful." Old Zhong said worriedly.

"I know." Lu Yang nodded.

"Master Lu, if you need help, come to the teahouse and find me." Lao Zhong said.

"Okay." Lu Yang agreed.

Lu Yang sighed as he watched Old Zhong leave. Yuzhou City was indeed becoming increasingly chaotic, and it was unclear when peace would return.

Lu Yang didn't walk far. He walked into a small tailor shop.

"Boss, please make me a set of clothes." Lu Yang said to the tailor.

The tailor was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of reading glasses, concentrating on sewing. He looked up at Lu Yang and said, "What kind of clothes would you like to make, sir?"

"A blue cloth jacket should be wear-resistant, dirt-resistant, and convenient for movement," said Lu Yang.

The tailor nodded and said, "Okay, pick it up in three days."

Lu Yang paid the money and left the tailor shop. He needed to disguise himself so that he could better hide in Yuzhou City and investigate Zero's conspiracy.

As night fell, Lu Yang changed into a blue cloth jacket and donned a worn hat, disguising himself as an ordinary dock worker. He arrived at the bustling dock in Yuzhou City, a place where all kinds of people mixed together and intelligence transactions took place.

Lu Yang sat down in a corner of the dock, smoking a cigarette and observing the movements around him. He knew that to find clues about "Zero", he had to first understand the underground world of Yuzhou City.

At this time, a short man came over and sat next to Lu Yang.

"Friend, are you alone?" the man asked in a low voice.

Lu Yang glanced at him and nodded.

"Want to make some money?" the man continued.

Lu Yang smiled and asked, "How do you make money?"

"Please deliver something for me." said the man.

"What to give?" Lu Yang asked.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." The man said, "Once you get there, someone will naturally give you the money."

Lu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you."

The man pulled a small package from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yang. "Tomorrow night, take this to the 'Hongmei' teahouse in the west end of the city and give it to a woman in a red cheongsam."

"Hongmei" Teahouse! Lu Yang's heart was shocked. He was very familiar with this name. It was the largest intelligence trading center in Yuzhou City and also the secret contact point of the underground resistance organization.

Could it be that "Zero" has also set his sights on the "Hongmei" teahouse?

Lu Yang took the package and nodded, "I understand."

The man smiled with satisfaction, stood up and left the dock.

Lu Yang looked at the package in his hand, his heart filled with doubts. What was in this package? What did "Zero" want to do?

Silent all night.

The next day, Lu Yang did not act rashly, but lay dormant for the entire day. He needed to find out the situation of the "Red Plum" teahouse and the details of the woman in the red cheongsam.

He first went to Blind Lao Zhong's teahouse to find out some information.

"Uncle Zhong, do you know the 'Hongmei' teahouse?" Lu Yang asked.
