Chapter 737 A Fish That Escaped the Net

In order to get off work early and go home to see his wife and children, Ye Shaohong personally participated in the nighttime arrest operation.

Of course,

He won't take the risk himself.

Given Ye Shaohong's current status and position, he is already able to leave frontline work.

His only responsibility is to stand behind the scenes, coordinate everything, and deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Chi Tiecheng was in charge of the arrest operation at the front lines.

Li Yunlong was also overseeing the control and blockade efforts on the perimeter.

Ye Shaohong doesn't need to worry too much. 8 PM.

As the surveillance personnel at the warehouse relayed back the reconnaissance report, confirming that there were people remaining inside, Ye Shaohong waved his hand, and Chi Tiecheng, who had been standing guard beside him, immediately took action.

"go!"

The moment the words were spoken, Chi Tiecheng had already drawn his sidearm from the holster strapped to his waist.

As he walked away, the members of the two action teams who had been lying in wait on both sides of the street gathered together and followed Chi Tiecheng into the warehouse.

Gunfire rang out.

A cacophony of curses erupted from the warehouse across the street.

Then came the deafening roar of the grenade exploding.

Standing in a second-floor inn room opposite the warehouse, Ye Shaohong clearly saw a member of the Special Operations Department's action team being thrown by the blast wave of a grenade and crashing to the ground.

The member of the task force had a cut on his lower abdomen, and blood was flowing out.

Having suffered such severe injuries, given the medical conditions of the Republic of China era, there was almost no hope of survival. However, none of this affected the other personnel involved in the operation.

Under Chi Tiecheng's personal leadership, more than a dozen members of the Second Action Team, armed with guns, were engaged in fierce combat with the people inside the warehouse.

Gunshots also rang out from behind the warehouse, at the encirclement line set up by Ye Shaohong.

"There are quite a few people!"

"The firepower configuration is also very strong!"

"Is this just a transport route for the Japanese infiltrator team?"

Faced with such fierce fighting, Ye Shaohong couldn't help but frown. He sighed inwardly, thankfully the operation he was in charge of was well-prepared and had sufficient personnel. If it had been just their special operations unit acting alone, they might not have been able to achieve complete success under such powerful enemy firepower.

There's no need to worry now.

For tonight's operation, Ye Shaohong mobilized two to three hundred people at once, blocking off several surrounding streets and passes.

Even if the Japanese soldiers inside the warehouse were well-equipped, knew the surrounding terrain like the back of their hand, and had made many preparations and plans, they would have no chance of escaping.

As Ye Shaohong had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had imagined.

A few minutes later.

The sounds of fighting coming from the warehouse across the street stopped, and Chi Tiecheng, his clothes stained with blood, personally led a team, escorting five survivors out.

Behind him, several other people were treating the wounded from various groups.

As Chi Tiecheng emerged, the police department responsible for maintaining order and stopping pedestrians at intersections on both sides of the street also began its operation.

They went in and dragged the dead Japanese soldiers out like dead dogs.

Good guy.

The number of people is indeed quite large.

Five people were captured alive, and the police also caught eleven dead dogs.

They confiscated more than twenty firearms, both long and short.

This can be considered a major achievement.

However, Ye Shaohong didn't care about any of that. Compared to the low-level undercover agents of the Japanese, he was more concerned about the owner of this warehouse.

They could also be said to be the operators of this transportation line for the Japanese.

Therefore, when Chi Tiecheng came to report, the first question Ye Shaohong asked was whether the other party was still alive.

The result was very disappointing for Ye Shaohong. Chi Tiecheng told him that they had not captured the warehouse owner.

The shopkeeper had already sensed the danger when the battle had just begun and abandoned his men to flee.

This immediately reminded Ye Shaohong of the gunfight that had just taken place at the back door of the warehouse.

He sent someone over to ask.

Fortunately.

The guards at the back gate intercepted the fleeing man and captured him alive.

However, during the arrest, the suspect resisted fiercely and even showed signs of attempting suicide by swallowing poison. There was no other way, so the brothers had to take drastic measures.

A shot hit the man in the shoulder.

The arrested individuals have been escorted to the nearest hospital.

According to the information obtained from the report, the person's injuries were not serious and there was no danger to his life.

"very good!"

"The brothers did a great job this time; all participants will receive an extra operation bonus!"

"In addition, the compensation for the brothers who unfortunately sacrificed their lives will be doubled."

"Tiecheng, you must personally oversee this matter. I absolutely cannot allow my brothers to bleed and weep. No one can withhold any of the compensation money; it must all be delivered truthfully to their families."

"At the same time, you also have two other things to do!"

"The first thing to do is immediately send people to the hospital to keep an eye on things in the operating room. We absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to the person who was arrested!"

We can't let him die!

"The second thing is to notify the intelligence team to come and search the warehouse inside and out overnight. See if we can find the Japanese radio and codebook."

"We also need to find their shipping ledgers!"

In a brief moment, Ye Shaohong had already issued several orders in succession.

It can be said that they did everything meticulously.

Chi Tiecheng certainly didn't dare to refuse, and he readily agreed.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong felt relieved. He was about to pack up and go home when suddenly his brows furrowed.

"and many more!"

"You just reported that more than twenty firearms were seized from this warehouse, right?"

Chi Tiecheng scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"correct."

"A total of twenty-three firearms, including seventeen Type 14 Nambu pistols and six Type 38 rifles!"

"Seventh Brother, is there a problem with this?"

Ye Shaohong stopped what he was doing and gave a cold smile.

"Is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem!"

"If I'm not mistaken, only eighteen people were killed in this operation!"

"What are those extra guns for?"

"It can't be a fire poker, can it?"

Ye Shaohong gave a cold, muffled groan, then paced back and forth in the room a few times with a frown before suddenly raising his head.

"Pass down two more orders!"

"First, carefully search the warehouse inside and out to see if there are any tunnels or secret rooms. Carefully check the number of beds and blankets in the warehouse to confirm the true number of people in the warehouse as soon as possible!"

"Second, notify the police station and city defense command responsible for guarding the road crossings outside, and tell them not to evacuate immediately."

"Immediately cooperate with our personnel to conduct a thorough investigation of all businesses and residents in the area surrounding this street!"

"I suspect there might be some survivors who slipped through the net tonight!"
