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

Chapter 349 The Four Directions Tremble

A gunshot rang out in Jiangcheng Civic Square, and the sound quickly spread throughout the land.

At noon that day.

The whole country knew about it.

The front lines in Beiping.

The soldiers of the 29th Army were fighting bravely in the trenches. Amidst the continuous artillery fire and gunfire, the valiant soldiers, relying on their broad-backed long swords, had just repelled an enemy attack and were preparing to rest for a moment when a staff officer from the army headquarters rushed into the trench with a telegram.

"Brothers, hold on, hold on! News has come from Jiangcheng."

"Just now, in front of thousands of people, the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service executed more than 20 Japanese spies and more than 30 traitors who had defected to the enemy."

"The country has not abandoned us, and the people behind us are watching us."

"Fight back the enemy and defend the country..."

As the shout of the military command staff rang out and he ran past, the soldiers, covered in blood and exhausted just moments before, suddenly opened their eyes wide.

Tears began to stream down their cheeks.

"Okay, okay!"

"The nation has not forgotten, the people are watching us, we cannot lose..."

"Father, Mother, Erni, Gawa, can you see this? Your son, your husband, your father, is protecting the country..."

Many soldiers cried. They cried so hard that their eyes were blurred, but their spirits were lifted again.

The veteran soldiers in the trenches, who had been hiding in a safe corner, heard the shouts and cries of the military command staff. They silently picked up their rifles, examined the parts, and counted the few remaining ammunition...

Shanghai.

Ta Kung Pao.

Several newspaper editors were busy at work; some were drafting manuscripts, while others were arranging the layout.

Several people were also arguing fiercely.

They were all contributing their limited strength to the war effort.

Just then, the editor-in-chief's office door was pushed open from the inside.

A middle-aged man with a large beard, who looked exhausted, walked out of the room carrying a manuscript. "Good news, good news."

"I just received an urgent telegram from the reporter stationed in Jiangcheng. Just now, the Jiangcheng station of the Special Service executed more than 20 captured Japanese spies and more than 30 traitors who had defected to the enemy in the Civic Square."

"At that time, more than 10,000 people gathered in the city square to watch. The people were excited and spontaneously saluted and applauded the members of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department."

The editor-in-chief of Ta Kung Pao was shouting. As soon as his shout rang out, the editors who were busy working stopped at the same time, turned around and looked at the editor-in-chief.

"Really...really?"

"Those lackeys of the Special Service could actually do something so gratifying?"

"It's true, I've checked it several times, it's definitely true."

The editor-in-chief of Ta Kung Pao responded loudly.

"Editor-in-chief, this is a very exciting event! We can't miss it. Let's print another edition today."

"I'll draft the commentary article right away."

"Yes, yes, we must reprint, we must reprint, 30,000 copies at a time, no... 100,000 copies."

"quick!"

"Everyone move!"

Northern Shaanxi.

Inside a dilapidated cave dwelling, several middle-aged men dressed in tattered military uniforms were looking down at a map on a table.

One of them, with a cigarette in his hand, tossed the pencil in his palm aside.

"Nonsense!"

"How can this war be fought like this?"

"Isn't this ridiculous? If we keep fighting like this, Beiping will fall into the hands of the enemy."

The middle-aged man's roar had barely begun, and before the senior commanders beside him could even speak, a soldier rushed in through the open doorway.

The person entered the room and immediately raised their hand in a salute.

"Reporting to the commander, an urgent telegram from Jiangcheng!"

"Bring it here."

The middle-aged man raised his hand and stretched it out, and the newcomer handed over the telegram manuscript in his hand.

The middle-aged man looked down.

Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Immediately following was undisguised praise.

"Okay, okay!"

"Ye Shaohong of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service quietly did something that no one else dared to do."

"What a brave man!"

"Come, come, take a look. This is some rare good news these days." Hearing the middle-aged man's undisguised praise, several middle-aged men who were gathered around the map also came over.

They passed the telegram around among themselves.

A short while later.

Everyone laughed.

Then, one of the middle-aged men, who looked extremely handsome, also smiled.

"Ye Shaohong?"

“I’ve heard of him. He’s a young man in his twenties, a fellow townsman and junior of the Chairman. He hasn’t been in the Special Service for long, only a few months now.”

"Don't let his youth fool you, this young man is capable and energetic."

"In just a few months after joining the Special Service, he cracked several Japanese spy infiltration groups in Nanjing. He was praised as a rising star by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Yunong, and he also received attention and praise from many high-ranking officials in the Nationalist government." "He is indeed a talent..."

Jinling.

Villa No. 1, Honggongci, is Dai Yunong's office.

Looking at the telegram that had just been translated in his hand, Dai Yunong's face turned pale. He stood up, trembling, grabbed his coat, and walked out the door.

"Qi Wu, Mao Qi Wu, hurry up and prepare the car, I need to go see the Chairman."

Dai Yunong's car quickly drove away from Villa No. 1 Honggongci and sped all the way to the Chairman's residence.

Upon entering the mansion, he had just gotten out of the car when he saw several high-ranking officials from the Nationalist government, who, like him, were anxiously walking deeper into the mansion.

Dai Yunong's face grew even paler.

After a while.

An officer from the Chairman's aide-de-camp came out and called Dai Yunong into the Chairman's office.

As soon as he opened the door, Dai Yunong heard the Chairman's roar.

"Damn it, damn it."

"That bastard, how dare he... how dare he do such a thing?"

"Where's Dai Yunong? Tell him to get in here right now."

Dai Yunong's eyelids twitched, he shrank his neck, and finally stepped into the room.

He approached the Chairman and bent down.

"headmaster!"

“Dai Yunong, look at your soldiers, look at the bastards they’ve done.”

"He's satisfied now, but he's caused such a huge mess. How are we supposed to negotiate with the Japanese now?"

"I want to punish him. Send men to arrest him immediately."

"I want to ask him myself where he got the guts!"

As the Chairman roared, Dai Yunong couldn't help but tremble again, but he gritted his teeth and finally stepped forward to respond.

"Principal, I just received news that Shao Hong is ill!"

"He is very ill."

"He fainted at the gate of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department and remained unconscious for four days with a persistent high fever."

"After waking up, he heard news from the front lines in Beiping."

"He was young and impetuous, and his anger got the better of him, so he made such a mistake in a moment of recklessness. Please calm down and give him another chance, considering that he is also a native of Zhejiang Province and that he has made contributions to the National Government."
