The shrill sirens rang in the sky above Dangyang City, and a large number of Japs armed with live ammunition quickly ran towards the direction of the gunshots.
The Wolf Squadron Commander Makino Kanichi, who was suppressed in the alley, quickly received reinforcements.
"Quick, rush in, they're inside! Don't let them escape!"
The disgraced Makino Kanichi pointed at the closed door and loudly ordered the Japanese.
The Japanese soldiers who quickly came in for reinforcements did not dare to neglect. They tried to use their rifle butts to open the door, but to no avail. The door was already bolted shut.
"Step aside!"
With a murderous look on his face, Makino Kanichi took off two grenades from the Japs next to him and flipped the safety guard.
"Boom! Boom!"
With two loud bangs, countless wood chips flew everywhere in the smoke, and the entire door was blown to pieces.
Before the smoke cleared, the Japanese with fierce eyes rushed in with bayonets in hand, followed closely by Makino Kanichi.
This was the backyard of a large house, and there was no one around. Makino Kanichi waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers quickly dispersed and started searching.
However, the Japanese soldiers turned the front and back yards upside down. Not to mention the people Makino Kanichi watched helplessly entering the house just now, there was not even a ghost.
"They must still be hiding in the city. With this as the center, search from house to house!" Makino ordered.
"Hiyi!"
The highest-ranked Japanese officer who led the pursuit was captain. The higher-ranking ones followed the brigade commander Xuan Shimao and withdrew to the safe brigade headquarters. Makino Kanichi, who was rushing in front, became the actual commander.
Under the command of Makino Kanichi, the furious Japanese began a house-to-house manhunt.
However, Han Er, who was shot and injured, seemed to have disappeared from the world. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers searched until night, but there were no results. This made Makino Kanichi very depressed.
After the search was fruitless, Xuan Daogao ordered the withdrawal of the troops, but raised the alert level of Dangyang City to prevent similar things from happening again.
Makino Kanichi returned disappointed, but he still couldn't feel at ease. After all, such a murderer suddenly appeared, which was always a hidden danger to them.
Makino Kanichi asked the Japanese soldiers of the Wolf Squadron under his command to change into plain clothes and watch at various intersections out of the city, trying to find the escaped Han Er.
However, after several days of continuous secret surveillance, the Japs of the Wolf Squadron found nothing, and Han Er, who had escaped, was also lost in news.
Yang Ling and the others, who had secretly arrived in Dangyang City, originally planned to launch a retaliatory attack on the Japs, but something suddenly happened in Dangyang City. The Japs raised the alert level, forcing them to temporarily postpone their revenge plan.
.
"Sir, we caught a sneaky man."
Yang Ling and the others were hiding in a remote village outside the city. The entire village was heavily guarded. A secret sentry lurking in the fields outside the village caught a suspicious person and reported it to Yang Ling.
Yang Lingzheng, Zhang Tie, Grizzly Xiong and others gathered together to discuss revising the plan to launch a large-scale revenge attack against the Japs in Dangyang City. When they heard that the suspicious person had been caught, their faces became stern.
"Have you been interrogated? Are they Japs or traitors?" Yang Ling raised his head and asked.
The soldier from the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade stood up and replied: "He didn't say anything. He only said that they rescued one of our people in the city two days ago, named Han Er, and he wanted to see Chief Yang."
"It's Brother Han from the sniper team, and he's actually still alive!"
After hearing the words of the soldiers of the Flame Special Warfare Group, the squadron leader Grizzly immediately screamed with joy.
Although Yang Ling and squadron leader Zhang Tie were happy to hear the news, they didn't show it on their faces.
"Sir, could this be a trap set by the Japanese?" Squadron Leader Zhang Tie said with a frown.
After all, one learns from every experience. The Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade led by squadron leader Sun Liangcheng has just been ambushed by the Japs. There is no guarantee that this time it will not be the Japs' conspiracy.
Yang Ling shook his head: "Since this person can find here, he must not be from the Japs. Otherwise, we would be surrounded by the Japs now."
After hearing Yang Ling's analysis, everyone in the room took a breath. They thought the place where they were hiding was very hidden, but who knew that someone had already found out about it.
"Grizzly Bear, Zhang Tie, you should immediately ask your brothers to disperse and hide in other places. We can't stay here anymore." Regardless of whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, the village they are staying in is no longer safe.
"yes!"
Regarding the life safety of the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade, Zhang Tie and Grizzly Xiong did not dare to neglect and hurried out, preparing to move with their brothers.
"Bring that person in and I will meet him."
After Yang Ling waited for Zhang Tie and the others to go out, he said to the soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade standing in the house.
After the soldier of the Fierce Flame Special Operations Brigade saluted a military salute, he immediately turned around and went out. Soon a middle-aged man who looked like an old farmer was brought into the house.
"Is this Captain Yang of the famous Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade?"
Before Yang Ling could speak, the man who looked like an old farmer looked Yang Ling up and down and asked tentatively.
Yang Ling nodded: "I am Yang Ling, who are you?"
The man dressed as an old farmer introduced himself: "Captain Yang, hello, my name is Chen Long, and I am the head of the Dangyang City Intelligence Team."
"Head of the intelligence team?" Yang Ling frowned: "As far as I know, our intelligence department in Dangyang has been taken over by the Japanese."
"Captain Yang, you may have misunderstood. I am from Yan'an." Chen Long explained.
After hearing Chen Long's explanation, Yang Ling suddenly realized. He was surprised that the intelligence department's system in Dangyang had suffered a devastating blow. Why did another intelligence group appear? It turned out to be someone from Yan'an.
"A few days ago, we were also confused by the smoke bombs released by the Japanese. We were unable to help your people when they were in danger. I'm sorry." Chen Long said apologetically.
"It's not your fault, it's the Japanese who are too cunning."
When Yang Ling heard that the other party was from Yan'an, he also relaxed his guard against Chen Long, but he did not completely believe him.
"Mr. Chen, please sit down." Yang Ling said "please" and prepared to sit down and talk.
"Thank you."
"I heard that one of us was rescued by you?" As soon as Chen Long sat down, Yang Ling asked straight to the point about Han Er's news.
"It's like this. Two days ago, Brother Han went alone to assassinate the Japanese brigade leader Xuan Dao Gao. He was chased and intercepted by the Japanese and was injured. We rescued him."
"Where is he now?"
Yang Ling was very concerned about the news about Han Er. After all, he was probably the only survivor after Sun Liangcheng and his friends were ambushed by the Japs. Yang Ling wanted to know what happened after they were ambushed.
"Captain Yang, don't worry. Brother Han is safe now. We have hired a doctor to treat his injuries, but he can't get out of bed yet and needs to rest for a while." Chen Long said with a smile.
Seeing the doubts on Yang Ling's face, Chen Long added: "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can send someone back with me and you will know at a glance. When you believe our sincerity, we will discuss cooperation.
"
"That's perfect." Yang Ling nodded: "Now I have to confirm whether Han Er is really at your place."
This is not because Yang Ling is cautious, but because the current situation between the enemy and ourselves is complicated, he must be careful every step he takes.
