Spy Wars: Return of the Red Luan

While you are sick, I will kill you.

Should we not harvest now, but wait until they get up?
Without a second thought, Chen Jiehua and Jin Zhenji, as agreed, swiftly and efficiently eliminated the Japanese soldiers who got up first or grabbed their guns first.

After a dozen or so shots, there were no more Japanese soldiers left to move, but Chen Jiehua warned the enemy not to move.

Based on Chen Jiehua's understanding of the Kwantung Army's habits, a truckload of soldiers usually constituted a squad of 48 men. However, Chen Jiehua counted the number of shots fired by the three men. The sniper rifles were equipped with silencers, but the shots were still clearly audible at the scene. They had only fired less than 30 shots.

That means there are still living people hiding down there.

Chen Jiehua gestured: There are at least 18 survivors. Remember to leave two alive.

The three waited patiently. Some of them, who were pretending to be dead or lying still to observe the situation, couldn't stand it and moved. As soon as they moved, they were shot.

This can't go on forever. The armored patrol vehicles used to estimate that the trucks would be delayed by 6-10 minutes. Once they reached Shulan and could no longer see the trucks, they would have to turn back. All in all, they only had 40 minutes. They couldn't wait any longer.

Chen Jiehua gestured for the two men to observe from a distance from two angles. He then slung his sniper rifle over his shoulder, took out a fully loaded pistol, and a scalpel that he hadn't used in a long time, and quietly stepped forward.

Ordinary soldiers are not special agents; tension is a common trait, and heavy breathing is a manifestation of tension. Chen Jiehua used the breathing sounds to finish off the soldiers one by one until only the two unfortunate men who had just woken up from their coma remained in the driver's cab.

Chen Jiehua waved first, signaling Zhao Zihe to step forward. The two of them worked together to tie up the prisoner alive, then separated them at a distance to question him.

Chen Jiehua directly asked in Japanese on the spot how many people were stationed in Shulan, how many were lying in ambush in Ping'an Town, and the location of the armory. If they didn't answer, he would cut off their fingers and penises with a scalpel until they answered.

By piecing together the testimonies of the two Japanese soldiers, Chen Jiehua got the gist of the story: "Let's send you and your comrades to keep each other company."

On the other side, Zhao Zihe gave a whistle, and many guerrilla soldiers rushed out of the mountains to clean up the battlefield as planned.

Kim Jeong-hee went to the north to keep watch.

Chen Jiehua ran south to the south side of the railway line, pressed himself against the rails to listen for sounds, and thankfully, the inspection vehicle had not yet arrived, so the first step went smoothly.

"Hurry up, everyone! Women, put away your guns first, four guns each, and head back to the woods with your guns. Men, drag the bodies to the opposite side of the road, strip them naked."

"Tiger, Dog, hurry up and get the cans to collect the gasoline." Zhao Zihe was directing everyone to proceed in an orderly manner according to the initial plan.

Once everything was complete, everyone worked together to push the truck onto the tracks, using car parts to hold it in place and brace it against the initial impact of the patrol car.

The second step of the plan was to wait for the patrol car to return, force it to stop, estimate the location of the people inside, and then blindly shoot them with a sniper rifle. At this point, the Japanese armored patrol car had thin metal plates, and the American sniper rifle could easily penetrate it.

The others, following the plan, changed into Japanese uniforms, took their guns, and moved from the mountains toward Ping'an Village.

Soon, based on the sounds he heard from the railway tracks, Chen Jiehua determined that the armored patrol vehicles had returned, but not just one, but two together!
Together, as planned, let's do it! (Gesture signal)

The Japanese armored patrol vehicles were driving very fast. When the vehicle in front saw the truck on the tracks, it braked and slowed down, but the inertia was too great. In addition, the vehicle behind was following very closely and did not notice the brakes, so it crashed directly into the truck. Both vehicles crashed into the truck and came to a stop.

Based on the location of the opening on the front of the patrol vehicle, Chen Jiehua determined the driver's cab and fired two shots at the driver's cab of the second vehicle, 10 centimeters apart, to prevent it from turning back.

Chen Jiehua's calculations were very accurate; the first shot took care of the driver, and the second shot was a waste.

Next, the three men fired blindly from their positions, firing a dozen or so rounds before waving to signal a halt. They needed to conserve ammunition; even the richest families run out of ammunition. The American sniper rifle bullets were incompatible with the Japanese ones, and every bullet used was one less available. Chen Jiehua, skilled and daring, possessed an extraordinary sense of danger. He signaled the other two to remain on guard while he went forward alone, smashed open the car doors, and found both vehicles empty.

Done.

Calling on comrades to continue cleaning up the battlefield.

"This was so damn satisfying! I've been back in Northeast China for months, and it's been more and more stifling every day. Today was really exhilarating. This American sniper rifle is awesome."

"Stop being so cocky, use them sparingly. We only have this many bullets left. The next stop is Shulan, where we'll need them to set up an armory. Then it's Ping'antun, where we'll need them even more to fight off the Japanese ambush."

"I'll carry this gun on my back and try not to use it. The Japanese gun is pretty good too, it'll do."

"After cleaning up the battlefield, find a way to blow up all these armored patrol vehicles and prevent them from showing off their power again."

"it is necessary."

After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone headed east into the mountains as instructed by Chen Jiehua, then detoured south, passing Ping'an Village, and arrived in Shulan.

When the Kwantung Army's garrison in Shulan discovered that a squad had not returned, along with two patrol vehicles, they searched along the railway line until nightfall.

Based on the footprints and other traces, the lieutenant in charge determined that the enemy was heading east into the mountains! Call for backup, call for troops from the Shulan garrison.
-
Around the same time that Chen Jiehua ambushed the Kwantung Army's garrison in Shulan in Northeast China, Chen Lanfeng and Ji Yinfengwen's transport team also circled half of Taiwan Province, arriving at Zhangzhou Port in Fujian via Yilan Port.

Cai Yankai's 19th Route Army headquarters was located in Zhangzhou, and troops were arriving one after another.

Mao Weitao's 60th Division, which arrived first, deployed in the area bordering Fujian and Jiangxi. After the headquarters of the 19th Route Army arrived in Zhangzhou, Liu Junze contacted Ji Yinfengwen by telegram, informing him of the location and the rendezvous arrangements.

With Liu Junze's introduction, General Cai Yankai secretly met with Chen Lanfeng, who was using the alias Chen Anpu.

"Commander Cai, I've long admired your name."

"Old Liu, to be honest, your mysterious leader behind the scenes is so powerful that he can make you, the God of Artillery, follow him wholeheartedly, and even persuade Instructor Chen to act as his advocate."

"It turns out that Commander Cai knows Anpu."

"Chen Lanfeng, originally named Chen Anpu, was from Yilan, Taiwan Province. He was a student of the 17th class of the Infantry Department of the Japanese Army Academy and a tactics instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy in 1926."

“Instructor Chen, I don’t think I need to describe how you got here again, do I? Although Commander Jiang and I have traveled a long way from Suzhou to Zhangzhou, we are not ignorant of the situation. On the contrary, we are even more concerned about the situation.”

"Instructor Chen, Lao Liu, how about the four of us have an open and honest talk?"

Liu Junze's mind was a little slow to react, but Chen Lanfeng understood that there was another one to come.

"Then please invite Commander Jiang to come out and meet us."

"Hahaha~, I said, Brother Xianchu (Cai Yankai's courtesy name), I didn't recommend you directly force the issue from the beginning. You should at least listen to what Instructor Chen relayed about the thoughts of the mysterious figure behind him, right?" (End of this chapter)
