Bai Luo reached the roadside and waved down a rickshaw, preparing to return to the French Concession.

Just then, Bai Luo saw a familiar face, Qi Xing (alias Liu Qingshan). But Qi Xing was in a hurry, seemingly on some urgent business.

Bai Luo didn't approach Qi Xing to say anything, seeing how hurriedly he was walking. He had a feeling that he would definitely run into Qi Xing again in the future.

But what is he doing here now? Is he also after this warship?

That's unlikely; there are only three of them. Oh well, it's none of my business anyway.

"Young man, shall we go?"

Hearing the rickshaw driver who had been standing beside him for a while asking questions.

Bai Luo nodded and got into the rickshaw.

"Where are you going, young man?" After Bai Luo settled in, the driver gripped the handlebars and turned to ask.

"Just take me to Guangfu Road." The Shanghai Garrison Command that Bai Luo bombed was located on this road.

"Alright, little brother, hold on tight."

Looking at the rickshaw driver who was hunched over with his back to me, pulling the rickshaw quickly and steadily, I could tell he had been doing this job for a long time.

"Master, do you often pick up passengers here?" Bai Luo asked casually, leaning back in his rickshaw.

Upon hearing Bai Luo's question, the driver, while controlling the direction of the carriage, answered Bai Luo's question: "We're basically in this area during the day."

"Do you know when this Japanese iron ship arrived?"

"That ship seems to have stopped here 3 days ago. At that time, the Japanese in Haishi surrounded the dock, and even now a large part of the dock is still occupied and blocked by them."

After learning the approximate arrival time of the Japanese warships from the rickshaw driver, Bai Luo pondered for a while.

"Have you heard why this warship docked in Haishi?" Bai Luo asked with a hint of curiosity.

The driver, sensing the child's curiosity in the back, was greatly satisfied by his desire to spread gossip and quickly told him everything he knew.

"I don't know. I heard from others that it was stopped at the shore for maintenance, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"By the way, that ship could carry a lot of Japanese soldiers. I saw more than 1000 Japanese soldiers get off the ship. I don't know where they went exactly."

Upon hearing this, Bai Luo realized that the remaining Japanese soldiers were indeed not on the ship. Only the more than 500 Japanese soldiers stationed at the base remained.

Knowing that the battleship was only being guarded by more than 500 Japanese soldiers at a temporary base, Bai Luo's mind started to work.

Instead of asking the driver about the Japanese warships, they started chatting about other things.

As soon as Qi Xing returned to the safe house, Zhang Hu and another team member came to greet him.

"Sir, have you made contact?" Zhang Hu stepped forward and asked first, taking the things from Qi Xing's hands as he spoke.

Qi Xing walked towards the inner room and nodded vigorously after hearing Zhang Hu's words.

Qi Xing sat at the table in the inner room, and Zhong Yu quickly poured him a glass of water. Qi Xing took a sip of water, saw the expectant looks in their eyes, and smiled as he said, "I've already contacted the comrades here. Zhong Yu, it's up to you now."

After being called out by Qi Xing, Zhong Yu patted his small chest and solemnly assured him, "Master, don't worry, it's a family heirloom. I am the successor of Yanzi Li Si."

Qi Xing looked at the young woman in her early twenties in front of him. She was petite, had a pretty face, and was full of energy. Moreover, she was very skilled in agility. Qi Xing had a lot of confidence in her assurances.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have decided to wait for her to arrive before setting off, even after receiving such an urgent mission.

The two have worked together many times, and each time they have successfully completed the tasks assigned by the organization.

Qi Xing met her by chance. At the time, Qi Xing was assigned to infiltrate Harbin, and Zhong Yu, a young girl who was new to the job and lacked experience, was reported to the police at her place of residence.

Zhong Yu had barely escaped the enemy's encirclement, but she had been shot in the leg and was unable to move easily. If the bleeding wasn't stopped in time, she might die from excessive blood loss. Qi Xing saw this and risked being exposed to save her life.

She was taken to a guerrilla unit near Harbin to recuperate through the organization's emergency evacuation route.

During her recovery, Zhong Yu gradually learned about the organization. After recovering, she joined the Red Party organization through Qi Xing's introduction.

"Let me briefly explain our objective this time. Our target is Captain Ichiki Taro of the battleship Hatsugumo." After resting for a while, Qi Xing began to introduce the mission to the two.

"According to information from our inside sources, he has received orders from the Japanese mainland to temporarily take over the position of deputy commander of Haishi until a new commander is sent from the mainland to take over."

But he also had a secret mission: the Japanese headquarters had given him the next phase of their military plan against China.

As for who should receive this plan, we don't know for now. However, we are certain that the information is still in Ichiki Taro's hands.

"And our mission is to obtain this plan." Qi Xing briefly explained the mission and then took a sip of water.

"Where is Ichiki Taro now? Is he on a warship?" Zhong Yu's question went straight to the point.

"No, he is currently with the military police stationed in Haishi."

But he was surrounded by his own Marine Corps soldiers.

Some of the Japanese military police were transferred to patrol around the newly established Japanese headquarters in Haishi.

"Then why doesn't Ichiki Taro live at headquarters?"

"Because this headquarters was recently bombarded, and the culprit has not yet been found. That Taro Ichiki did not believe in the Shanghai Garrison's ability to defend itself, so he led his men to occupy the military police's post."

After Qi Xing finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know who did this, but it was really satisfying."

Feeling that the topic had gone a bit off track, Qi Xing quickly steered it back to the main point.

"According to our inside sources, today Ichiki Taro will be going to the Yunqing Grand Hotel to attend a reception hosted by the Haishi Municipal Hall to promote economic exchanges in Haishi."

We need to confirm whether Ichiki Taro is carrying this plan with him. If not, then we'll have to risk infiltrating the Japanese military police headquarters.

Qi Xing sighed after speaking, "Comrades, this mission is very difficult and dangerous. But we have no choice but to do it. It concerns the overall strategic situation of the entire Dragon Kingdom."

Knowing the Japanese plan in advance allowed our troops to take precautions.

Therefore, we must obtain this plan.

"Yes," Zhang Hu and Zhong Yu replied simultaneously, their eyes filled with determination.

Meanwhile, Bai Luo still hadn't found out where the more than 1000 Japanese naval personnel on that warship had gone.

He walked around the Japanese army's newly built headquarters on the original site several times. He was surprised that the Japanese army had not moved the location, but instead rebuilt it and made the walls even higher.

There were Japanese military police patrols within a 3-kilometer radius of the headquarters.

It's obvious that Bai Luo hurt him badly last time.

After having a quick dinner at a roadside stall, he planned to use the detection radar to survey the temporary Japanese garrison near the dock.

It's 7 p.m. Bai Luo has arrived at the dock and is lying in wait. There are still many workers moving goods on the dock.

There was loading and unloading going on, but the area where the warships were docked was still off-limits to everyone, just like during the day. The warships were a kilometer or two away from the workers' unloading area.

The Japanese patrols were patrolling the entire dock. Bai Luo avoided the sight of a patrol team and memorized the surrounding routes.

After planning three retreat routes for himself, Bai Luo slowly made his way towards the Japanese temporary encampment.

It's almost 9 p.m., but the dock where the workers are unloading cargo is still brightly lit.

This formed two extremes with the Japanese temporary encampment on the other side, where the Japanese here had already begun to turn off their lights.

Only the searchlights at the checkpoints and the streetlights along the roadside were still on.

Bai Luo swiftly scaled the barbed wire fence set up by the Japanese soldiers and, using the surrounding cargo crates as cover, crated to a position about 500 meters from the warship.

They discovered that there were indeed Japanese soldiers on the battleship, but only 13 of them.

Seeing that there were only a few Japanese soldiers on the battleship, Bai Luo didn't care where the Japanese had gone and continued to infiltrate.

He planned to infiltrate the Japanese battleship and detonate its ammunition depot.

This way, the Japanese battleship would be severely damaged, if not sunk.

It's important to understand that battleships are large ships that are very difficult to sink. Even if you put them in front of Bai Luo and bombarded them with Italian cannons, it would probably be difficult to penetrate their armor.
