Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 134 The Foolish Xiao Zhengguo

These Japanese devils may look weak, but they can be really ruthless when they get going.

As soon as Xiao Zhengguo stepped out of the gate of Villa No. 1, Honggongci, seven or eight guns were locked onto him.

Gunshots rang out one after another.

Xiao Zhengguo reacted quickly; when he accepted the mission, he had already learned from his superiors about the possible situations he might face.

They knew they could be assassinated or surrounded at any time.

Therefore, Xiao Zhengguo never let his guard down.

The moment Xiao Zhengguo saw the few Japanese soldiers who had suddenly appeared, he immediately realized the danger. Without hesitation, he leaped into the sandbag formation that had been set up in front of Villa No. 1 of Honggongci.

Xiao Zhengguo reacted very quickly.

But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't beat the enemy. Even though he had already jumped into the sandbag area, when he raised his head again, he still felt a burning pain in his calves.

Looking down, I noticed a striking through-and-through wound on his calf.

Fresh blood was dripping down the bullet hole.

"Damn it, I still got infected."

"You little devils, I'll kill you all."

Don't be fooled by Xiao Zhengguo's seemingly weak character in the spy drama "Awakening of Insects"—he only appears for a few minutes before being killed off.

But that's a TV series after all, and there are artistic embellishments involved.

In reality, Xiao Zhengguo, although he did not study at a formal military school, was a man who fought his way up from the battlefield, and he had a wealth of combat experience.

Using the sandbag position as cover, Xiao Zhengguo raised his hand and shot a Japanese soldier dead.

As he counterattacked, the field agents who had been lying in ambush nearby either removed their disguises or emerged from their hiding places.

In just a few breaths, more than thirty field agents from the Bureau of Survey and Statistics appeared on this not-so-long, narrow street. They were all carrying Browning pistols, which were the best performing pistols of the time, and some of them even had grenades hidden in their pockets.

With their superior strategy and the advantage of outmaneuvering the unsuspecting, and with over thirty people facing off against seven or eight, coupled with excellent equipment and ideal terrain, the battle began quickly.

It ended much faster.

Five or six minutes later, the crackling gunshots, like popping beans, stopped.

Most of the Japanese devils who dared to ambush people at the entrance of Villa No. 1 in Honggongci were killed.

In the end, only two people survived by sheer luck.

They were also seriously injured.

He was captured alive by several quick-thinking field agents and directly taken to the underground prison of Villa No. 1, Honggongci.

It is foreseeable that they will soon be subjected to severe torture to extract confessions.

Even if he eventually agrees to cooperate and confess, he will probably not live much longer.

Ye Shaohong didn't care much about this; he didn't even have the idea of ​​returning to Hong Gong Ancestral Hall to attend the interrogation.

the reason is simple.

Firstly, these people were all low-level operatives, and the intelligence they carried was of little value. Even if Ye Shaohong returned, he wouldn't obtain any valuable information. There was another reason as well.

That means he has already taken most of the credit, so there is no need for him to compete with others for the remaining credit.

Inside the restaurant, the waiter hadn't brought out the dishes yet.

Ye Shaohong and Zheng Yaoxian happened to witness the entire battle and saw Xiao Zhengguo's ability to adapt to the situation. Ye Shaohong's eyes immediately narrowed.

"not bad!"

"In terms of reaction speed and adaptability alone, Xiao Zhengguo has reached the standard of the character in the story."

While marveling at the idea, Ye Shaohong suddenly had a novel thought.

His third action team was just short of a captain.

Xiao Zhengguo might be a good candidate.

Besides his own abilities, Ye Shaohong valued even more the potential espionage plot that Xiao Zhengguo might trigger. Fei Zhengpeng, Guan Yongshan, Yu Shunnian, Zhou Haichao, Yu Xiaowan...

And Chen Shan.

Judging from the current situation, the plot of "The Deep Sea Spy War" hasn't officially started yet.

If he now recruits Xiao Zhengguo and changes his predetermined fate of going to the southwest, will these characters from the original storyline still appear?

If he were to appear, would he have a chance to change the fate of some people?

For example, Yu Shunnian and Yu Xiaowan.

"Perhaps we can give it a try."

Once he made up his mind, Ye Shaohong immediately turned around and looked at Zheng Yaoxian.

"Section Chief, do you know the person who carried out the fishing plan in my place?" "Xiao Zhengguo? Of course I know him."

Zheng Yaoxian's answer surprised Ye Shaohong. He originally thought that the characters in the Kite storyline might not necessarily be connected to the characters in the spy drama Deep Sea Awakening.

Now it seems he was wrong.

It's not that it's completely wrong, it's just a subconscious cognitive error.

"Oh?"

"How is this person?"

After a brief moment of distraction, Ye Shaohong did not ask the question that had been bothering him; instead, he inquired about Xiao Zhengguo's background.

"This person comes from the 88th Division. This time, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was reorganized. In addition to expanding the intelligence personnel, the number of grassroots action personnel was also increased."

"He is one of the specially recruited personnel this time."

"If I remember correctly, before he was recruited into the Second Division of the Bureau of Statistics, he was a second lieutenant platoon leader in the 88th Division, known for his bravery."

Seeing that the action on the street had come to an end, Zheng Yaoxian had no intention of continuing to watch. He slowly returned to the dining table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Then he turned to look at Ye Shaohong.

"You've taken a liking to it?"

"Well, I do have some ideas."

Ye Shaohong wasn't stupid either. Although Zheng Yaoxian hadn't explained things clearly, he had already made an accurate judgment about Xiao Zhengguo.

What does it mean to be known for one’s bravery?

To put it bluntly, it's just that they're not smart enough.

But does Ye Shaohong need smart people? In the two or three months since he joined the Special Service Department, he has made contributions without relying on anyone else.

Ye Shaohong needed someone who would obey him. Moreover, Xiao Zhengguo was involved in quite a few things.

That was enough to make Ye Shaohong's heart flutter.

"Alright, add another order of braised lion's head meatballs and a bottle of Shaoxing liquor. I'll take care of it for you."

Zheng Yaoxian still takes good care of Ye Shaohong. He is willing to lend a hand when it comes to matters that do not involve factional struggles or class interests.

"no problem."

"I just killed Zheng Haopeng, and the position of captain of my third action team is vacant. Let him temporarily serve as the captain here."

"Whether it works or not, let's give it a try first."

After that little incident, the rest was much simpler.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner outside, Ye Shaohong and Zheng Yaoxian leisurely returned to the Honggongci Villa. While they were relaxed, the second place was bustling with activity.

A small ambush easily eliminated eight Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing. This achievement was neither a huge one nor a small one.

This is enough to make those in the research group who haven't had much to do lately envious and jealous.

Inside the torture chamber, screams of agony filled the air.

Ye Shaohong called Li Yunlong over to inquire, and the development of events was indeed as he had expected. Although this operation was led by the Second Military Section,

However, when the captured Japanese spies were brought back, Xu Baichuan, in order to avoid his men making a fuss, still assigned the interrogation work to others.

It's a case of sharing the benefits equally.

The only thing that slightly displeased Ye Shaohong was that after the operation ended, Xiao Zhengguo was left unattended.

Although he had been taken to the medical room, more than half an hour had passed, and not a single person had come to visit him. After thinking for a moment, Ye Shaohong decided to follow his heart and join in the fun.

Ye Shaohong asked Li Yunlong to go to his office and bring over a few cans of food and some fruit. Then, he went to the infirmary at a leisurely pace.

Upon entering, he immediately spotted Xiao Zhengguo.

This poor kid did a great service for the Bureau of Statistics and Surveys, but now he's just been given a haphazard treatment and bandaged up and left to languish in a corner of the ward.

I'm feeling down there.

Li Yunlong, who came with Ye Shaohong, is no longer the chivalrous bandit of the North; he's now a complete lackey.

Before Xiao Zhengguo could react at all when Ye Shaohong entered, Li Yunlong immediately coughed softly.

But the result?

Li Yunlong was coughing so hard he was practically injuring himself, but the dazed Xiao Zhengguo still hadn't caught on and was still looking up at the sky.

wrong.

It's the roof.

"Your uncle's!"

Li Yunlong felt that he meant well and wanted to help Xiao Zhengguo, but Xiao Zhengguo dared to ignore him, which angered Li Yunlong.

He walked over, raised his hand, and slapped Xiao Zhengguo on the back of the head.

"Snapped!"

After a crisp sound, Xiao Zhengguo finally realized what was happening.

"Who are you?"

Why did you hit me?!

This question left Li Yunlong momentarily stunned, while Ye Shaohong, standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He suddenly realized that Xiao Zhengguo was quite interesting. No wonder he was such a peculiar talent—someone who, after infiltrating Shanghai and unable to find a place to stay, took his team of agents to watch an overnight movie.

He's comparable to the simple-minded Zhao Jianzhi.

"You must be Xiao Zhengguo. I am Ye Shaohong!"

"Ye... Team Leader Ye?"

Many people may not know Ye Shaohong in the current Second Division of the Bureau of Survey and Statistics, but his story has already spread far and wide.

Xiao Zhengguo was one of them.

He had heard about Ye Shaohong's clever cracking of a major Japanese spy case from his colleagues and had long admired Ye Shaohong. Now that he had met him in person, he dared not delay or hesitate any longer.

He had also forgotten the slap Li Yunlong had given him, and made a move to stand up from the bed to salute Ye Shaohong.

He had forgotten that he was injured, and this movement immediately aggravated his wounds, causing him to let out a muffled groan of pain. "He seems a little dim-witted."

"No wonder Zheng Yaoxian described him as brave and fierce, and no wonder he still couldn't win Yu Xiaowan's heart even though he was already married to her."

"Should I still try to recruit him?"
