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

Chapter 328 The Big Fish Falls into the Net

The courtyard where Yamada Hisao hid was not large, with only two courtyards, and was a typical example of the Southern style.

Although the courtyard is small, it has all the essential parts.

Walking in through the main entrance, the first thing you see is the screen wall.

Then comes the copycat arcade.

Continuing forward, you'll reach the main part of the courtyard, consisting of the main house and two wing rooms on the east and west sides.

Unlike the traditional courtyard houses in the north, which often have large fruit trees planted in the center of the courtyard, the traditional courtyard houses in the north are different.

In the center of this courtyard, a small lotus pond has been dug out. It is July, the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom.

The delicate fragrance was refreshing and pleasant, and the carp swimming slowly in the pond created a unique charm.

But all of this is destined to change today.

As Ye Shaohong gave the order, Li Yunlong, Chen Huishan, and four field agents from the Jiangcheng Special Service Station walked together toward the courtyard.

Along the way, Li Yunlong began to speak, introducing the interior of the courtyard to everyone.

The positions of visible and hidden sentries.

With the initial findings, the six people quickly dispersed.

Then Ye Shaohong saw Li Yunlong leap onto the courtyard wall, lightly touch the wall with his toes, and disappear from sight.

Chen Huishan was far less skilled than Li Yunlong. He first took a few steps back, then leaped up, grabbed the high wall with one hand, and used his arm to jump over it like a hurdle.

The action begins.

Ye Shaohong was not idle either. He took out the gun he carried with him from his waist, and then waved his hand, leading the other special agents from Jiangcheng Station to the main gate of the courtyard.

A few minutes later, the courtyard gate was opened from the inside.

Chen Huishan's figure then came into view.

"How is it?"

"The operation went relatively smoothly, except that one person was a little slow and made some noise."

"Section Chief Li, worried about alerting the target, has already led his men to rush towards the main house."

No sooner had Chen Huishan finished speaking than gunshots rang out from inside the courtyard. Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow, no longer interested in responding to Chen Huishan, and led his field agents into the depths of the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, the first person Ye Shaohong saw was Li Yunlong.

He was leading two special operations agents in a fierce firefight with Japanese spies lurking inside the main room.

In front of the main gate of the house, two field agents from the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service were still lying there.

The two men were still trembling.

Fresh blood was flowing from their chests.

The piercing wails and screams, along with cries for help, reached Ye Shaohong's ears at the same time.

"How could this be?"

Ye Shaohong led his field agents over quickly, and the first thing he asked was why.

"I don't know." "I had just led my men to the main door, and before we could even kick it down, gunshots rang out from inside."

"It's very likely that the noise made when they were cutting off the visible and hidden sentries earlier alerted the people inside."

Li Yunlong fired back while recounting the events that had just transpired.

His face still held a hint of anger; clearly, he was also quite annoyed by what had just happened.

Ye Shaohong did not respond to this.

He glanced around, then suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Time is of the essence, we can't afford to delay any longer."

"Charge them inside!"

Ye Shaohong was truly determined. He knew, of course, what the consequences would be if he forced his field agents to go forward and kill the enemy under these circumstances.

There's a high chance there will be more casualties. But what can he do?

A kind heart cannot command an army.

Compared to the potential casualties, the hidden Japanese spy Yamada Hisao in the house was of greater value.

The potential data, radio broadcasts, and codebooks are invaluable and cannot be measured in monetary terms.

Ye Shaohong understood this principle, and Li Yunlong obviously understood it as well.

Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's order, he gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Brothers, charge!"

"Whoever can capture the Japanese spy hiding inside, I'll reward him with five hundred silver dollars!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunlong leaped up with his gun in hand and charged towards the main gate of the house.

His bravery set an example.

The hefty reward of five hundred silver dollars was even more encouraging. Following Li Yunlong's actions, seven or eight more special agents from the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service Department roared and ran towards the main gate.

As they ran, they pulled the trigger with all their might, using bullets to suppress the enemy hiding inside the main room.

It may seem slow, but it's actually quite fast.

In just a few breaths, two more special agents from the intelligence agency collapsed at the main entrance.

But there is also good news.

Driven by this desperate spirit, Li Yunlong and the other field agents finally stormed into the main house.

Intense fighting and roars immediately erupted from inside.

About two more minutes passed before Li Yunlong, looking disheveled, walked out of the main door.

Only then did Ye Shaohong notice that Li Yunlong had been injured in the shoulder. Crimson blood was flowing down his arm.

But what about Li Yunlong? He seemed completely oblivious, and stepped in front of Ye Shaohong, immediately giving his report.

"Station chief, we've caught them all."

"There are four people in the room. Besides Zhao Hongying and the middle-aged man we've all met before, there's an old man and a young man."

"And that young man seems to be from the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service!"

When these things were mentioned, Li Yunlong was still somewhat unsure, since they had only recently arrived in Jiangcheng and didn't know the people at Jiangcheng Station very well, only having a vague impression of them.

It was these few impressions that made Li Yunlong hesitate.

"People from Jiangcheng Station?"

"Let's go in and take a look." The operation went smoothly, and everyone should have been happy, but the sudden appearance of the suspected person made Ye Shaohong anything but happy.

in contrast.

A chilling glint flashed across his eyes.

If the situation is indeed as Li Yunlong described, then Yamada Hisao's sudden meeting with Zhao Hongying and his cautious attitude during their rendezvous today can be explained.

There's a thief in the house.

I just don't know if this thief is a Japanese devil or a traitor who betrayed his country.

However, these doubts are not difficult to resolve.

Go inside and you'll see.

Lost in thought, Ye Shaohong moved quickly, and in a few steps he had already entered the main house.

Upon entering, Ye Shaohong immediately saw three men and one woman being forced to lie prone on the ground by special agents who had guns pointed at their heads and knees pressed down on their bodies.

Ye Shaohong's gaze swept directly over Zhao Hongying and the middle-aged man he had met once in the teahouse.

They placed it on the old man and the young man.

This old man is really old.

He looked to be over sixty years old, as most of his hair and beard had turned white.

But the wrinkles on his face still couldn't hide his sharp, venomous eyes, as sharp as a hawk's.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong enter, the man struggled to raise his head, his eyes like knives, fixed intently on Ye Shaohong.

"Ye Shaohong, Ye Yanluo?"

"It lives up to its reputation."

"You've only been in Jiangcheng for three days, yet you've already found my whereabouts."

"If I'm not mistaken, the fact that you're here today means that you've already eliminated all the people I placed in the newly formed Seventh Army, right?"

"such a pity."

"You acted too quickly. If I had two more days, it would be hard to say who would live and who would die!"
