Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

The Blue Shirts Society’s secret base at Songhu Station.

Intelligence Chief Li Sixian reported to Station Master Liu Wanxiong, "Station Master, we've figured out the number of people escorting No. 76. It's an 18-man action team! In addition, there's a 14-man military police squad that will rendezvous with the convoy after they enter the Chinese territory!"

"There was a Japanese military police squad of 16 people who cleared the quarry in advance, so the total number of people was 48!"

Liu Wanxiong frowned when he heard this: "There are 48 people? The number of enemies is a bit too many!"

"Yes, in this situation, if we want to rescue the people, we have to send out the National Salvation Army, and I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. Even if we rescue the people, I'm afraid the loss will outweigh the gain. What do you think, do you want to carry out the rescue?" Li Sixian asked.

Liu Wanxiong lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, then asked, "Have you figured out the escort route?"

Li Sixian shook his head and said, "There are too many routes from No. 76 to the quarry. Our insiders have been secretly investigating and exploring for the past few days, but they haven't received any concrete information. I'm afraid our plan to ambush them along the way will be in vain!"

"If we want to launch a rescue, I suggest we do it inside the concession! If we do it inside the concession, at least there won't be any Japanese reinforcements. The only thing we have to worry about is the police disrupting the situation!"

"Once we leave the concession and enter the Chinese area, the Japanese will have a constant influx of reinforcements, making a successful rescue much more difficult!"

Liu Wanxiong thought for a while and shook his head: "No, we can't do it in the concession. It will make too much noise. Then our enemies will not only be No. 76 and the Japanese, but even the concession police will regard us as enemies!"

Li Sixian said, "But if we don't take action in the concession, we have no chance at all. There are only 18 people escorting them inside the concession, but if we go outside the concession, they will have an extra Japanese military police squad. If we can't rescue everyone in a short time, we will be held back and won't be able to retreat even if we want to!"

Liu Wanxiong took out a map and began to study it. The streets and terrain in the concession and the Chinese area were very complicated. There were many options for No. 76 to transport the prisoners, and it was impossible to judge which route the other party would take.

He stared at the map for more than ten minutes and had a vague plan in mind.

"Section Chief Li, is the mortar we used last time when we attacked the printing factory still usable?"

Li Sixian was stunned and replied, "It can be used. We brought the mortar back afterwards and now it's in a secret warehouse. But we have no ammunition!"

Liu Wanxiong immediately said, "I'll give you a mission. Find a way to get some mortars back. Whether we can successfully rescue those captured brothers this time depends on how many shells you can get back!"

Li Sixian hesitated and said, "Stationmaster, mortar shells are hard to come by. I wonder if they're out of stock on the black market. If they are, we can just pay a little more. But they're still out of stock, so even if we had money, we can't buy them!"

Liu Wanxiong waved his hand and said, "Try to find a way to get it. It's up to you to get as much as you can!"

"Yes, Station Master!"

Afterwards, Liu Wanxiong called the operations chief Chen Gongde over.

He briefly explained the situation to Chen Gongde, who looked serious after hearing it: "Stationmaster, if that's the case, we don't have any chance at all. If we start a fight in the concession, once the police arrive quickly, we won't even have a chance to escape."

"But if we take action in the Chinese territory, we don't know their specific escort route and have no way to deploy in advance!"

Liu Wanxiong pointed at the location of the quarry on the map and said, "So I plan to start directly at the quarry. We'll still use the power of the National Salvation Army this time. I've already asked Li Sixian to get the mortar shells!"

"Although the quarry is flat and open, the surrounding terrain is complex, making it easy for us to hide and ambush. Moreover, once we can get mortar shells, we can bombard them before they escort the prisoners to the execution site for shooting, or we can launch an attack after the attack, when the spies and the Japanese use vehicles as cover, and then bombard them to eliminate their manpower!"

After hearing Liu Wanxiong's idea, Chen Gongde nodded in agreement. "I think the stationmaster's plan is feasible, but Li Qun has a trap waiting for us. I'm worried that he will deploy heavy troops near the quarry. If we don't notice it in advance, we'll be surrounded by them!"

Liu Wanxiong knocked on the table and said, "So before we take action, we must make sure there are no Japanese ambushes nearby. We must send people to scout the mountains and forests around the quarry in advance!"

Chen Gongde immediately said, "Stationmaster, let our action team handle this!"

"Okay, we must conduct a thorough reconnaissance!"

"understand!"

At 10 o'clock that night, Intelligence Section Chief Li Sixian reported to Liu Wanxiong: "Stationmaster, we have fulfilled our mission and spent a lot of money to obtain two-box shells. It was really not easy!"

Liu Wanxiong was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "Great, great! With these two mortar shells, this rescue operation can be said to be halfway successful! Chief Li, I'll give you a great credit and report it to my superiors after the operation is completed!"

Li Sixian quickly stood at attention and said, "Thank you for your training, Station Master!"

Early morning on the 28th.

Liu Wanxiong walked back and forth in the office of the secret base with his hands behind his back, anxiously waiting for news. Intelligence Chief Li Sixian stood beside him.

"Jingle Bell……"

Liu Wanxiong immediately picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Boss, the evil spirits have started to clear the area. The number of people is correct, and no other evil spirits are found hiding around!" Chen Gongde's voice came from the phone.

Liu Wanxiong asked, "Have the Taoist priests who catch ghosts arrived?"

"They've been received!"

"Very good, I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Wanxiong turned to Li Sixiang and said, "A small Japanese military police squad has already cleared the quarry. The Operations Department has conducted reconnaissance and found no Japanese ambush nearby. The National Salvation Army has also arrived. I'll rush over to coordinate the command. You stay here and notify me by radio if there is any news!"

"Yes, Station Master!"

Coming out of the secret base, several plainclothes agents were waiting outside. Liu Wanxiong asked, "Did you bring the radio?"

A telegraph agent nodded: "I brought it!"

"Let's go to the quarry!"

An hour after Liu Wanxiong and others left, Li Sixian, who was sitting in the office, received a call.

"The mouse is out of the hole!" a voice came from the phone.

"understood!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Sixian immediately went to the telegraph room and said to the operator, "Send a message to the stationmaster and tell him that the rat has escaped from its hole!"

Liu Wanxiong, who had just arrived near the quarry to meet up with the operations personnel led by Chen Gongde and the National Salvation Army, soon received a telegram.

"Stationmaster, the Telecommunications Department called and said the rat has come out of its hole!"

Liu Wanxiong took the telegram, glanced at it, lit it with a lighter, and turned to Chen Gongde and said, "Send someone to scout the surrounding mountains and forests. I'm still a little worried!"

"Understood. I'll send someone to scout again!" Chen Gongde nodded and immediately gave an order to a spy next to him.
