The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Just before dawn that day, the remnants of the expeditionary force returned to the town and reported to Lieutenant Colonel Yoshijima Ueya, the commander of the Kwantung Army battalion that had occupied the town: “The raid was about to succeed, but we were suddenly hit by a bomb that fell from the sky, resulting in the failure of the mission and heavy losses…

Fangdao Wuya was sitting on the sofa in the office at the moment, looking gloomily at Wang Quezi, the captain of the traitor suppression team, who had come to report on his work. Suddenly, Wang Quezi noticed that the atmosphere was not right and was about to stand up when Fangdao Wuya suddenly attacked, unsheathing the samurai sword in his hand with a "swish" sound and holding it to Wang Quezi's neck.

Wang Quezi was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled. Fang Dao Wu Ya's eyes were cold, and he asked in a low voice, "The Imperial Army provided you with excellent equipment, and you, the former 'anti-Japanese guerrillas,' can't even deal with a few of the Anti-Japanese League?"

He tumbled to his knees, his forehead thumping with a dull thud. "Taijun! Yes, there's something strange... Those shells seemed to have eyes, targeting the densest areas of our formation!" He stole a glance at Fangdao Wuya's gloomy face, his voice trembling even more. "And... and the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces' reinforcements arrived too quickly, it doesn't look like a temporary assembly at all!"

The traitor with a face full of flesh suddenly ripped open his blood-stained collar, revealing the hideous shrapnel wound on his shoulder: "Madam, we suspect there is a traitor! Maybe an Anti-Japanese Allied Forces spy has infiltrated the Imperial Army and leaked the news in advance!" As soon as these words came out, the air in the room froze instantly. Several traitors subconsciously took a half step back, staring at each other in horror.

Wang Quezi stammered, trying to explain himself by blaming the traitor. As Fang Dao Wuya listened to his explanation, the murderous intent in her eyes grew stronger, and the force in her hand gradually increased, the blade slashing a bloody mark on Wang Quezi's neck.

Upon seeing this, Wang Quezi begged for mercy and promised to correct the mistake immediately and improve the accuracy of the intelligence. Fangdao Crow snorted coldly and put away his samurai sword. Wang Quezi thought he had escaped and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Fangdao Crow suddenly kicked Wang Quezi in the chest and knocked him to the ground. Then, Fangdao Crow rushed forward and pressed his knee hard against Wang Quezi's back. He grabbed his hair with one hand and slammed his head to the ground repeatedly. He cursed angrily: "Traitor? I think you are the traitor. You are incompetent and you are still making excuses..." Wang Quezi cried out in pain and struggled to resist, but under the heavy blow of Fangdao Crow, he gradually lost his strength.

Fangdao Wuya stood up, straightened his lieutenant colonel uniform, looked coldly at Wang Quezi lying on the ground, and said: "Next time you fail and use the traitor as an excuse, I will treat the Hida you gave me as a 'snack'. It hasn't eaten human flesh for a long time!" After that, he turned and walked towards the desk, leaving Wang Quezi groaning in pain on the ground.

Yoshima Uya thought for a moment and suddenly slammed the cherry blossom-decorated saber scabbard against the edge of the table. "Baka! If there's a leak of information..." She turned around abruptly and said, "Send the Shadow Ninja Scout Team."

Following a hoarse command, eight dark figures burst through the window. The leading ninja knelt on one knee, blood dripping from beneath his face towel onto the ground—it was none other than the scout who had failed to infiltrate the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces camp three days prior. Yoshima Wuya raised her staff and poked the other's chin, "Can you find that mysterious Anti-Japanese Allied Forces squad in the primeval jungle?"

"Yes." The ninja's voice was like a rusty gear. The gunshot wound of the modified dumdum bullet was faintly visible under the bandage on his right shoulder. "But they have masters who understand jungle warfare and are powerful." The other seven ninjas simultaneously clutched the ninja tool bags at their waists. Amid the sound of metal collision, Yoshijima Wuya's pupils suddenly contracted.

Fangdao Wuya squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Humph, how strong are you?"

The ninja raised his right hand with difficulty and made a throat-cutting gesture, with a hissing sound in his throat: "Like this, silent and faster than a bullet." His eyes were full of fear of the mysterious Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Fangdao Wuya pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "No matter how powerful they are, you must find them. The Imperial Army's majesty cannot be challenged, and this operation must not fail again." He paused, then continued, "However, you must proceed with caution this time and not alert the enemy."

"Hi!" Eight black shadows responded in unison, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness outside the window.

Fangdao Wuya looked at the direction the ninjas left, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety. He knew that the mysterious Anti-Japanese United Army squad had become a huge threat. If it was not dealt with quickly, it would have a huge impact on the stability of the entire occupied area.

He turned back to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed a number: "This is Fangdao Wuya. Immediately gather all available intelligence personnel. We need to conduct a comprehensive intelligence gathering on that Anti-Japanese United Army squad."

Meanwhile, Wang Quezi, lying groaning on the ground, heard these conversations and felt a chill run down his spine. He realized he had truly gotten into trouble this time. Not only had he failed to complete his mission, but he had also caused even greater trouble. He secretly thanked Fang Dao Wuya for not killing him in a rage, otherwise he would have died without even knowing how.

However, Wang Quezi also understood that if he wanted to save his life, he had to find a way to atone for his mistake. He struggled to his feet, limped over to Fangdao Wuya, and said humbly, "Taijun, I know I didn't do well this time, but I'm willing to make amends. I know some secret locations of the Anti-Japanese United Army that may be of help to you."

Fangdao Wuya turned her head and looked at Wang Quezi coldly, the murderous intent in her eyes slightly lessened: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Wang Quezi was delighted and quickly shared some of the scattered intelligence he knew about the Anti-Japanese United Army. Fang Dao Wuya listened, pondering the value of this information. Although it was incomplete, it might provide some clues for them to find the mysterious Anti-Japanese United Army squad.

"Hmph, you'd better stop playing any tricks. If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences." Fangdao Wuya said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, my lady. I will tell you the truth." Wang Quezi responded quickly with a nod and a bow.

At this moment, an intelligence officer hurried in and reported to Fangdao Wuya: "Lieutenant Colonel, we just received a report that one of our scout teams found suspicious traces at the edge of the forest. It might be the mysterious Anti-Japanese Allied Forces team."

Fangdao Wuya's eyes lit up: "Gather people immediately and let's go take a look!" After that, he strode out of the office. Wang Quezi hurriedly limped after him, his heart full of nervousness and anxiety.

When they reached the edge of the forest, it was already dawn. They saw a group of Japanese soldiers gathered outside a hidden camp. The campfire was extinguished, but the traces on the ground showed that someone had just been there.

Fangdao Wuya carefully observed the traces around the camp, her brow furrowed. "These traces are very fresh. They must have left not long ago. It seems our scout team's findings were indeed correct."

He turned to the soldiers around him and said, "Immediately send people to follow these traces and find that Anti-Japanese Allied Forces squad!"

"Hi!" The soldiers responded in unison, then quickly dispersed and followed the trail.

Wang Quezi followed behind Fangdao Wuya, his heart racing. He didn't know how powerful that mysterious Anti-Japanese Allied Forces squad was, but seeing the tense expressions of the Japanese soldiers, he felt a strong sense of pressure. He silently prayed that he could escape this time and not cause trouble for that mysterious Anti-Japanese Allied Forces squad again.

At this time, the mysterious Anti-Japanese Allied Forces team was Lei Tao, Meng Yan, Lao Qiao and other Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fighters, who had long disappeared into the vast forest. They moved flexibly in the forest, like a group of ghosts, making it difficult for the Japanese soldiers to track them.
