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

Chapter 472 United in Hatred

At this crucial final moment, Ye Shaohong could no longer afford to stand idly by.

He personally led the team to the Hongkou beach.

Under the cover of darkness, the group of more than twenty people, carrying or holding packages of various sizes, moved forward cautiously.

A dozen minutes later, the team arrived at the entrance to the underground pipe.

Xiao Zhengguo was most familiar with this place; three days of lying in wait had given him a thorough understanding of the surrounding environment.

Therefore, he still serves as the team leader today.

He raised his arm.

Xiao Zhengguo, who was leading the team, immediately lay down on the ground. Ye Shaohong, Chi Tiecheng, and the others did not ask any questions and also lay down in the grass.

Three or four minutes later, a group of Japanese soldiers carrying guns and ammunition appeared in the distance.

They patrolled and talked as they went.

It seemed to be discussing lewd and obscene matters.

The occasional lewd laughter made Ye Shaohong want to pounce on them immediately and snap their necks.

However, he ultimately held back.

We must not let small things cause us to lose sight of the bigger picture.

Fortunately.

The group of Japanese soldiers walked very fast, and after a minute or two, their figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Finally, it disappeared into the darkness again.

"Okay."

"Based on their usual patrol patterns, it will take them another two hours before they come back for their next patrol."

"That's enough for us to take action."

After Xiao Zhengguo got up, he visibly let out a long sigh of relief before turning to Ye Shaohong to give his report.

"Ah."

"Time is of the essence, there's no time to waste, let's begin."

Say it.

Ye Shaohong also turned around and looked at the middle-aged man behind him who was blind in one eye.

It was the leader of those four deserters.

"Don't worry about leaving it to us."

The middle-aged man who had lost one eye was also a resolute and decisive man. Facing the impending moment of life and death, there was no trace of panic or fear on his face.

After nodding slightly, the man picked up a bundle of explosives and strode forward. "Brother..."

Ye Shaohong's lips parted slightly, but he couldn't help but utter a soft call.

"Ok?"

"Does the sir have any further instructions?"

The middle-aged man, who was blind in one eye, paused, looking back at Ye Shaohong with a hint of surprise and confusion.

"fine."

"I just wanted to tell you to come back alive."

"Having completed today's task, your names will be recorded in history, and your families will be proud of you."

Ye Shaohong had different feelings towards these people; in fact, they didn't need to participate in this operation at all.

But they still participated.

So Ye Shaohong spoke to them a little longer. "Will it be recorded in history?"

"Hey, that sounds pretty impressive. Does that mean it can have its own page on the family tree?"

"Actually, we didn't think that much about it."

"The reason we four brothers participated in tonight's operation is twofold: firstly, to repay your life-saving grace, and secondly..."

At this point in his story, the middle-aged man who was blind in one eye paused, taking a long breath.

Then he turned around and looked in the direction of Hongkou.

Late at night.

In the distance, the sky was still ablaze with the light of flames.

Those are traces of a battle.

"On the other hand, we are still Chinese soldiers."

"Soldiers take it upon themselves to protect their country. We've already made a mistake once before, but this time... we won't make the same mistake again." The gruff voice ended there. The middle-aged man, who was blind in one eye and whose name Ye Shaohong still hadn't learned, didn't hesitate any longer. He and his sworn brothers buried their heads and disappeared into the night.

Soon, the group of more than twenty people entered the underground pipes in an orderly manner.

Ye Shaohong, Xiao Zhengguo, Chi Tiecheng and the others lay prone outside.

They didn't move an inch, their eyes burning as they stared intently ahead.

period.

The Japanese patrol team went there twice more.

More than four hours later, around 3 a.m., the middle-aged man who was blind in one eye finally returned with his men.

"It's all done."

"Although there was a minor mishap, it has been resolved." "The bomb is scheduled to explode at four in the morning."

"This is the time when people are most tired during the day, so detonating the bomb at this time should achieve the best effect."

Professional engineers do much more than just build fortifications and clear landmines.

They also need to specialize in bomb detonation.

In this field, professional engineers far surpass special agents like Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong had no doubt about this.

So he didn't question it. After nodding, Ye Shaohong waved and led everyone away into the distance.

By the time they reached a safe location and hid, it was nearly four o'clock.

Hidden among the rocks by the sea, Ye Shaohong held binoculars, anxiously watching the distance. "What time is it?"

"There are thirteen minutes left until four o'clock."

"Damn, time is passing so slowly."

Ye Shaohong and Xiao Zhengguo lay together, chatting idly as they tried to ease their tension.

Even as leaders, they were so nervous.

Difficulty controlling emotional fluctuations.

Their field agents were even more flustered, clenching their fists in nervousness.

This is why Ye Shaohong strictly forbade them from smoking to relieve tension. Otherwise, this place would probably be filled with smoke by now.

"Section Chief."

"Do you think our mission will succeed?"

"If the bomb detonates successfully, how many high-ranking Japanese commanders could it kill?"

"If we can wipe out the high-ranking Japanese commanders on the battlefield, it should be able to provide some help to the front-line resistance and reduce the number of deaths among our brothers on the front."

Xiao Zhengguo did not graduate from a professional spy school; like Ye Shaohong, he was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy who entered the field later in life.

However, he graduated from the Jiangcheng branch campus.

In terms of status and position, the Huangpu students at the Jiangcheng branch campus could not compare with those who graduated from the Jinling main campus.

But they have one thing in common.

That is the same patriotism.

They also shared a sense of camaraderie.

Xiao Zhengguo certainly hoped that tonight's operation would be successful, and that it could provide a respite for the brothers who were fighting hard on the front lines.

After all, the soldiers on the front lines were suffering terribly. They were often hungry and cold, and had to spend all day immersed in fortifications filled with groundwater, facing the Japanese army's powerful ships, cannons, and tank battle groups with limited ammunition.

There is a constant risk of death.

That's why Xiao Zhengguo didn't mention what kind of reward he would receive after the mission was successful when he was recounting these things.

Will his military rank be promoted?

What we have now is simply a shared hatred of the enemy.

Didi da da.

The hour hand of the watch was ticking slowly.

Before we knew it, more than ten minutes had passed.

As the minute hand of his watch slowly moved to the 12 o'clock position, Xiao Zhengguo suddenly raised his eyes.

"It's four o'clock!"
