Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

At this point, Sakata Tadayoshi was furious and continued to curse: "It's okay that so many people died, but our Imperial Army also lost three fighter planes. Do you know how much three fighter planes and three pilots are worth?"

Li Qun was terrified. After Sakata Tadayoshi finished speaking, he said cautiously, "Chief Sakata, I admit that this fishing operation failed, but I don't think it was entirely due to problems with our plan. A large part of the reason was due to unplanned factors!"

"Unplanned factors? What do you mean?" asked Tadayoshi Sakata with a frown.

Li Qun said, "Su Maode, the head of our No. 76 Fourth Office, said that everything that happened at the quarry was within our plan and expectations. The Blue Shirts Society and the Underground Party came, and even if their guerrilla forces increased, it was within our expectations!"

"Although our men were attacked from both sides in the quarry and suffered heavy casualties, it was all within our tolerance. As long as reinforcements arrived within the allotted time, we could wipe out both sides!"

"However, an accident happened at that time. One or two people on another hilltop blocked the reinforcements. The enemy's marksmanship was extremely superb. They sniped the reinforcements from a distance of over 1000 meters, hitting them one by one with every shot!"

"Several of our sergeants were killed, more than a dozen soldiers were killed, and even four machine gunners were killed. The enemy's shooting was so accurate that our men had to hide and dared not show their heads. If any part of the body was exposed, we would face death."

"The squad leader even used two mortars to attack. Not only did they fail to kill the enemy after firing several rounds, but they were also hit by the enemy's ammunition boxes, causing a chain reaction explosion, killing everyone in the mortar squad!"

"Mr. Sakata, if it were you, would you have any good ideas in that situation? We were powerless at the time, and could only watch as soldiers were shot and killed after accidentally exposing themselves outside the bunker. The squad leader had no choice but to have the radio operator send a message to the military police headquarters for help!"

"Soon, three planes arrived and turned the enemy's hill into a sea of ​​fire. However, on their way back, they were mysteriously attacked and destroyed on another hill. Can we blame our poor planning? Who could have imagined that such an unexpectedly powerful and terrifying individual would appear?"

At this point, Li Qun pulled out a stack of photos and handed them to Sakata Tadayoshi. "Section Chief Sakata, look, these are photos of officers and soldiers who were killed by snipers. Almost every one of them was shot in the head, killed in one go! We've done a ballistic analysis, and the enemy used a Mauser 98K scoped sniper rifle, which has a maximum effective range of only 800 meters, yet they were able to kill every single one of them from 1000 meters away!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a file bag from his briefcase. The seal of the bag was stamped with the word "Top Secret".

"Chief Sakata, this is a collection of unsolved cases that have occurred in Shanghai and surrounding areas in recent years, involving the Special High Technology Department, Unit 76, the Military Police Headquarters, the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, and other departments related to these departments, as well as other Imperial Army units."

"I found some similarities in these cases, a total of 17 cases. They all had a large number of people killed or missing. Every one of them was shot in the head, killed in one shot. Some were shot with rifles, some with pistols. The firearms used were quite mixed. 188 people were shot in the forehead with a single shot."

"As for the missing personnel from our side and the Imperial Army, neither their bodies have been found, nor their bodies have been found! I had my men do a statistics. In the four years since the war began, 259 of our intelligence and special agents have disappeared in Shanghai alone. There are also 137 officers of the Imperial Army above the rank of sergeant, and 3518 soldiers missing."

After hearing this, Sakata Tadayoshi's face changed drastically. He immediately took the file bag, opened it and took out a thick stack of documents from it. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

"Hiss—in these four years, so many of our spies have been killed? And so many are missing? How could it be so many?"

Li Qun nodded solemnly, "Yes, sir. This is the result of a three-month investigation by No. 76, who reviewed a large number of archives and records from various departments. There may be more data that have not been included in the statistics, or there may be omissions. It is impossible for there to be more than this survey record, not less!"

It took Tadayoshi Sakata more than ten minutes to finish reading the thick report. He put down the documents, looked up at Li Qun with a serious face and said, "Li Sang, you did a great job. If you hadn't produced this report, I wouldn't have known that so many people had died or disappeared in Shanghai in the past few years!"

"Casualties are inevitable in the counterintelligence process, but the number of deaths is too high. We didn't pay much attention to the few deaths during normal operations, but we didn't expect that the number of deaths in recent years would be so high."

"And the number of missing intelligence personnel, field personnel, and Imperial Army officers and soldiers is approaching 4,000. Honestly, this number is shocking to me!"

"Li Sang, do you think that the incident this morning on the hill near the quarry, where the person who appeared and blocked our reinforcements, is related to the cases that have occurred in recent years?"

Li Qun nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I even suspect it is the same person, or the same group of people! Lord Sakata, we must find a way to find this person and capture him. If we can't capture him, we must kill him, otherwise this person or this group of people will cause us even greater casualties and losses!"

Sakata Tadayoshi narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, Li Sang, you are right. If the man this morning is really the murderer of these dozen cases, then he is extremely dangerous!"

"Do you think he's a member of the Blue Shirts Society or the underground party?"

Li Qun thought for a moment and said, "Sir, judging from the other party's style of behavior and methods of committing crimes, he should not be a member of the underground party. I think he should be a member of the Blue Shirts Society. My insider in the Blue Shirts Society once sent me a telegram, saying that he suspected that this person might be related to an intelligence group called "Ban Hua", or that he was one of the members of the Ban Hua intelligence group."

"Higanbana Intelligence Team?" Sakata Tadayoshi asked immediately.

"Yes!"

"Why haven't I heard of this intelligence team?" asked Tadayoshi Sakata puzzledly.

Li Qun said, "Perhaps you haven't been in the Special High Section for long, and the staff turnover there is too frequent. There have been several fires in the archives, and many files have been burned. It's normal that you don't know about the Higanbana Group."

"This Higanbana intelligence group has been active, but always hiding behind the scenes. I suspect that many of our intelligence leaks are related to this Higanbana group, but we can't find any clues, and the insiders in the Blue Shirts Society can't access any information related to this group."
