Chapter 823 Killing the Enemy and the Bandits

After Li Yunlong left, Ye Shaohong arranged for Li Beifa to go to the train restaurant and buy some food and drinks.

They sat there with the door to the private room open, chatting casually.

More than half an hour later.

Li Yunlong finally returned slowly, entered the private room, and nodded subtly upon seeing Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong did not rush to ask further questions.

They continued eating and drinking until the train conductor came over and urged them to rest and prepare to turn off the aisle lights. Only then did Li Beifa, Hua Heshang, and Shan Leng return to their compartment.

Chi Tiecheng also closed the door to the private room. "How was it?"

Have you found out where she went?

The moment the door closed, Ye Shaohong's questioning voice rang out from the darkness.

"We've found out."

She went to the last carriage of the train.

"That carriage must have been temporarily added. Unlike the carriage we were in, the entire carriage was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner."

"It has only one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room, and one bar!"

"I climbed over the roof of the train and took a quick look inside. I saw a dozen or so Japanese soldiers inside."

"Most of them were officers of the rank of lieutenant or higher."

"There are also three officers of the rank of colonel."

"Besides that, there were two elderly men in the compartment who weren't wearing military uniforms; they must also be Japanese soldiers." Only Li Yunlong, the "King of Bandits of the North," could have discovered such details on a speeding train.

He did not disappoint Ye Shaohong.

I went out and thoroughly investigated the entire situation.

"More than ten lieutenant-level officers, three colonel-level officers, and two elderly men who were not dressed?"

"In addition, there's Nakajima Shigeko, the flower of espionage on the Japanese intelligence front."

"Looks like there's a big fish on this train, the Japanese!"

In the darkness, Ye Shaohong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he did not know the identities or backgrounds of these people, he could tell from their positions and ranks that they were different from others.

It's important to understand that, due to the prevalence of militarism, the Japanese army at that time had very few spoiled brats. It must be acknowledged that the internal organizational structure of the Japanese army during the War of Resistance was indeed more streamlined and efficient than that of the Republic of China government.

This is precisely why it was extremely difficult for the Japanese soldiers to advance in rank.

To become a lieutenant-level officer, one must be a graduate of the Army Sergeant School.

Those who can become officers of the rank of colonel must have a diploma from the Army University.

That’s all.

Given Ye Shaohong's current status and position, he can disregard the dozen or so Japanese lieutenant-level officers and ignore the three Japanese colonel-level officers.

For the sake of the mission, he could temporarily suppress his murderous intent.

However, according to Li Yunlong, there were two elderly men dressed in ordinary clothes in that luxurious private compartment, which made Ye Shaohong think deeply.

“It must be a big fish!” “When I went over just now, I happened to see a Japanese officer of the rank of colonel pouring wine for those two old men.”

"The only person who could be personally served by a Japanese colonel-level officer is perhaps...."

At this point, Li Yunlong's words trailed off.

But the other three people in the private room already clearly understood his unspoken meaning.

"A general-level officer!"

"Or... a government official of equal rank to a general!"

"what!"

"It seems our journey will have to be cut short!"

Compared to the mission to find the mole in Beiping, the appearance of two men suspected to be Japanese generals made the mission insignificant. Without discussion or deliberation, the four men in the private room made their decisions almost simultaneously.

Kill them.

This would be an incredible achievement.

But how do we get started?

To conceal their identities, they traveled to Beiping by train on the Pinghan Railway, without carrying any firearms.

wrong…….

It should be said that only Li Yunlong was unarmed.

He was the only one who, with his superb thieving skills, was able to hide the weapon and bring it onto the train without being discovered.

But a mere pistol was simply not enough for them to complete this task.

At the same time, they also had to consider something else.

That is, how to safely escape after the assassination and how to evade the enemy's pursuit. Failure to keep it secret could lead to death.

As the leader of their group, Ye Shaohong had to carefully consider the issues involved and prepare appropriate countermeasures.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong remained silent.

He is considering the follow-up matters.

This silence lasted for more than ten minutes, during which neither Li Yunlong, nor Chi Tiecheng, nor Su Wenqian disturbed Ye Shaohong.

They were all waiting for Ye Shaohong's decision.

Ten minutes later.

Ye Shaohong finally figured out all the matters.

"Yunlong".

"I'm giving you a task. Starting tomorrow, I want you to find out the location of all the weapons stored on this train as quickly as possible."

"Whether it's Japanese military personnel on the vehicle or passengers on the journey, as long as they are carrying firearms, you must find out for me by any means necessary."

Ye Shaohong did not explain why he made this arrangement.

Because it is not necessary.

As the bandit king of the north, Li Yunlong had an incredibly sharp eye, and his methods were unlike those of ordinary people.

Ye Shaohong believed that Li Yunlong was capable of completing the task.

"Yes, Seventh Brother!"

Li Yunlong didn't ask any further questions and immediately gave his reply.

"Wenqian!"

"If I remember correctly, you studied chemistry while you were in school in Beiping, right?"

"Then you should be able to concoct poison using the meager items on the train."

This time, Ye Shaohong had a question.

Su Wenqian did not disappoint Ye Shaohong. He first chuckled softly, and then immediately responded.

"no problem."

"Seventh Brother, I'll wander around tomorrow to see if I can find any suitable items."

"If so, give me some time, and I should be able to complete the task you assigned."

After the two measures were arranged, Ye Shaohong looked at Chi Tiecheng.

"Iron City".

“Your subordinates Li Beifa, Hua Heshang, and Shan Leng are all quite skilled and capable. I’m also giving you a task.”

"Starting tomorrow, you will investigate the enemy personnel, their deployment, and the crew exchange situation for the entire train."

"We also need to plan and design a good action plan."

"Two days later, this train will pass through its first stop, Jinan Prefecture. Although we cannot find out where they are going, we cannot be careless."

"To be on the safe side, we must take action before they get off the bus."

"Kill the enemy! Kill the traitors!"
