Living in the Republic of China era, from undercover agent to immortality

"Brother, you mean these Japanese devils are on a secret mission?"

"Based on the recent movements of the Japanese, it is most likely related to the National Salvation Army."

"Then the direction they're heading must be... Jinling."

The snake's underling stroked his chin and blurted out.

These words made the snake's eyes light up, and it immediately nodded slightly.

"You're a quick learner! When did you become so smart?"

"The Japanese devils surrounded the National Salvation Army but did not attack, and made no move for a long time."

"I guess they wanted to eliminate this anti-Japanese armed force with minimal cost."

"This must be related to the intelligence we just received."

The snake's mind raced, and it suddenly remembered the mysterious telegram from Nanyang City.

He then stopped talking.

"Defection plan, encirclement and suppression awaits reinforcements!"

These eight words have been swirling in the snake's mind lately.

If this telegram was sent by Stinger, it proves that the Japanese had a defection plan.

But who exactly are they trying to turn?

What kind of person could enable the Japanese to defeat the National Salvation Army without lifting a finger?

He was puzzled.

Perhaps only by seeing the poisonous stinger can the mystery in my heart be solved.

"A-Jiu, take the shortcut and go directly to Jinling."

Thinking of this, the venomous snake immediately spoke to the driver in front.

"Brother, are we not going back to Shanghai?"

The younger brother next to him paused for a moment, then asked.

"Hmph, with the situation so dire, why bother going back to Shanghai?"

"Notify the Shanghai intelligence station to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese."

"Also, have them continue searching for Deputy Station Chief Li's whereabouts."

The venomous snake curled its lip and said anxiously.

The car then turned around and headed towards Jinling.

The two members of the communications team on one side silently noted down the instructions and began to call the Nanjing intelligence station.

.........

On the other side, there is Jiangyin City, forty miles away from Changzhou.

A team of over a thousand people has been holding out in the city for half a month.

This is a guerrilla brigade of the National Salvation Army, which was expanded into the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment a few months ago.

Regimental Commander Cheng Yongfa listened with a frown to the reports from several battalion commanders.

"Commander, the food in the city is only enough for three days."

"The Japanese surrounded us but didn't attack, so our wounded couldn't buy medicine and many of them got infected."

"If this continues, the troops will disintegrate without even fighting..."

The second battalion commander plopped down on the ground, looking distressed.

The battalion commander on the side narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction outside the city.

"Let me lead my brothers out and fight our way back, at least bring back some medicine and food."

"I'd rather fight the Japanese devils to the death than starve to death."

Only the third battalion commander was holding a pipe and smoking.

However, the pipe was filled with scraps of tobacco, and they were almost out of food.

"Shut up, all of you! You've only been starving for a few days and you can't take it anymore."

"The Japanese are besieging us but not attacking; one reason is that they want to starve us out."

"Another reason is to lure out our brother units and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"We can't be fooled. We must get food first before we can fight a big battle with the Japanese devils."

"Let Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang speak about the issue of grain."

Upon hearing their conversation, Cheng Yongfa stood up expressionlessly and said...

Seeing the anger on Cheng Yongfa's face, everyone immediately fell silent.

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Peng stood up and walked to the front of the group.

He immediately opened his mouth and cursed:

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, all they do is cause trouble for the regimental commander."

"Didn't you see that the commander had already planned this out?"

"To tell you the truth, I secretly went out yesterday to lead a reconnaissance team and discovered that there is grain in Yujia Town, Changzhou City."

“There’s a landlord who has stored over 100,000 jin of grain in his house, enough to feed us for several months.”

"As long as we seize the grain from Yujia Town, we can have a big fight with the Japanese devils."

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Peng said with great confidence.

The regimental commander, Cheng Yongfa, nodded in agreement.

Last night, Zhang Peng led the guard company out to conduct reconnaissance, but they brought back more than a dozen bags of grain.

Moreover, there were indeed several landlords in Yujia Town, so it's not surprising that they had grain.

"Deputy Commander Zhang is right."

"However, the situation in the city is tense right now, and we can't send out the whole regiment, lest we alert the Japanese."

"I suggest that Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang lead the First Battalion and the Guard Company to carry out this mission."

“Select some soldiers with good marksmanship to form a commando team.”

"Strive to break through from the south and bring back the grain."

Cheng Yongfa thought for a moment, then spoke to the battalion commanders.

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and gathered around.

"Commander, let our Second Battalion go. Our First Company of the Second Battalion is willing to be the assault team."

"Commander, send our 3rd Battalion. We have two mortars in our 3rd Battalion."

"Get out of here, this is our battalion's mission, all of you get out of my way."

"........"

The battalion commanders immediately started arguing, and soon their faces turned red and their necks thickened.

Just like the battalion commander said, it's better to fight the Japanese devils than to stay in the city and starve.

Even if they manage to break through and get some food, they might still be able to capture some spoils of war.

No one wants to give up this opportunity to someone else.

"Stop fooling around, the usual rule, draw lots."

Seeing the battalion commanders arguing heatedly, Regiment Commander Cheng Yongfa immediately wrote a few crumpled pieces of paper and threw them in front of everyone.

Several battalion commanders immediately rushed forward.

Zhang Peng, the deputy commander standing next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling somewhat smug.

Since he planted more than a dozen Japanese spies in the guard battalion, this force was destined to fail.

If the core members of the First Battalion and the Regiment are eliminated tonight, Cheng Yongfa's troops will surely be defeated.

........

The Japanese Army Headquarters in Nanjing.

Japanese General Noda Osamu glanced at the list in his hand, then tore it to shreds.

The Special Higher Police Chief, Nanzo Yunko, paused for a moment, then looked puzzled.

"General, this list is top secret. Why did you destroy it?"

Noda Osamu glanced out the window and then smiled slightly.

"Haha, Miss Yunzi, you're still too naive."

"The Shanghai Investigation Department doesn't have any defection list at all; it's all a sting operation."

"So far, we have captured the deputy head of an intelligence station in Shanghai."

"We also discovered an undercover agent who had infiltrated the military police force in Nanyang City."

"I believe this list will bring to light even more anti-Japanese activists."

"........"

Upon hearing what Noda Osamu said, Nanzo Yunko paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.

She immediately understood why General Doi-maru had sent Harada Akiko with a list to Nanjing.

After Harada Akiko's death, the special envoy was allowed to continue the mission.

Everything is a trap.

"General, since the list is fake, then the defection plan is also fake."

Why haven't we yet surrounded and annihilated the National Salvation Army inside Jiangyin City?

Thinking of this, Masako Nanzo stepped forward and asked again.

The original purpose was to determine the timing of the defection plan, but this is the unexpected outcome.

She didn't know how to explain things to the special envoy.

"Miss Yunzi, you don't need to do anything."

"All we need to do is have Takeshita Shun take that special envoy to Yujia Town at nine o'clock tonight."

"They'll see a fantastic show then... hehehe!"

Japanese General Noda Osamu smiled slightly, then walked over to Nanzo Yunko and said.

The next second, he picked her up and carried her to his bedroom.
