Chapter five hundred and ninety first wind and rain
The Japanese outside the yard naturally heard two clear meows, and one of them said: "It turns out to be a cat. This little guy must have touched something."
"Where is the cat? Should we catch it?"
Another Japanese soldier suddenly spoke. After all, these Japanese people live in military camps and are usually very bored. Of course they want to catch a pet to relieve their boredom.
"Okay, we still have to patrol, don't be too troublesome, otherwise if you let the higher ups know, everyone will be in trouble."
The patrol soldier who spoke first immediately rejected the proposal, leaving the person who wanted to catch the cat very disappointed.
But the soldier who spoke first was a sergeant, and the rest were his subordinates, so naturally they did not dare to resist, so the patrol quickly left the place.
I'm afraid the Japanese soldiers on the patrol never dreamed that in the courtyard separated by a wall, there were several military agents carrying out anti-Japanese activities, let alone that someone would imitate a cat's meow to deceive them.
Although they could not understand Japanese, the Japanese quickly left the place, which meant that the danger had passed. Wang Youwei and the other two agents relaxed.
When the footsteps could no longer be heard, the three of them left the yard together and ran to the manhole again. After all, they still had to continue their mission.
At this time, the investigators also came to check the situation. When they saw the three people evading the patrol, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Boss, I found it a little late..."
"Okay, continue to investigate the surroundings and give us warnings at any time."
Before the investigators could finish speaking, Wang Youwei interrupted him. After all, the top priority was to complete the task quickly.
Seeing what Wang Youwei said, the investigators stopped explaining and helped the three of them open the manhole cover and went to observe the situation.
Wang Youwei and others continued to carry explosives. Fortunately, after this crisis was overcome, there were no other risks.
At two o'clock in the evening, the group of people transported all the explosives to the destination. Wang Youwei also relaxed and sighed secretly in his heart. If Li Yunsheng hadn't sent six agents to support him, it would be really dangerous tonight, and he wouldn't be able to complete the mission.
.
After the group completed their mission, they naturally had to return to the safe house. After all, everyone was exhausted and faced another danger.
After returning to the safe house, Wang Youwei said happily: "Everything is ready. As long as the cocktail party is held tomorrow night, we will give the Japanese a surprise."
Several subordinates were also very happy. One of them thought about what happened tonight and said with a smile: "Boss, it was really dangerous tonight. I was almost discovered by the patrol."
"It was a bit dangerous, but the Japanese were unlucky and didn't see us at all."
Although he was almost caught by the patrol, Wang Youwei didn't care. After all, everything he did was risky.
"It's because the Japanese are unlucky. It's obviously because of your ability to cope with the situation!"
One of his subordinates immediately complimented him, because what happened tonight had convinced these agents. After all, Wang Youwei behaved appropriately when faced with danger.
As soon as this person finished speaking, several other people also joined in and praised Wang Youwei one after another.
There was only one person who looked a little bad. This person was the investigator responsible for warning. He also made a mistake tonight, so he stood up and whispered: "Boss, I failed in my duty tonight."
"What's going on? Why was it too late to warn?"
Although nothing serious happened tonight, the agent responsible for observing the situation did neglect his duty. If he hadn't given the warning late, Wang Youwei and others would not have made a mistake and were almost discovered by the patrol team.
"Before the patrol came, I happened to go for a convenience. I was a little late and put everyone in danger."
Regarding the danger tonight, the agent observing the situation also blamed himself, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
After hearing this person's explanation, Wang Youwei was stunned. He didn't expect that things would happen by such a coincidence, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
It is normal for people to have three urgent needs, and this person did not cause any serious consequences. Wang Youwei thought about it and felt that he could not say anything more. After all, he was still junior and was the temporary person in charge, so he decided to put the person in charge.
Report the matter and let Li Yunsheng handle it.
"Okay, don't say any more. Tomorrow night is the time for the cocktail party. Everyone will be busy then. Let's go and rest now."
Now that he knew the reason and made a decision, Wang Youwei asked everyone to rest. After all, there were big things tomorrow.
After hearing Wang Youwei's order, a group of men immediately found a place to rest, looking forward to arriving soon tomorrow night.
Early the next morning, preparations began within the Japanese Gendarmerie. Not only were supplies transported on a large scale, but staff also entered the Gendarmerie station.
At this time, Tanaka Weisuke was very uneasy, always feeling like something was going to happen.
After thinking for a while, Tanaka Weisuke made a phone call and called Kawashima Jinwu and Wu Baozhong to the office.
"Have you found anything unusual yet?"
As soon as the two people entered the office, Tanaka Misuke asked, looking impatient.
After hearing what Tanaka Weisuke said, Marshal Kawashima Jinwushuai first replied: "General, I haven't found anything here, everything is normal."
Wu Baozhong on the side also said: "Your Excellency General, everything is calm now, we have not found anything abnormal."
It was a good thing that no abnormality was found, but there was a hint of caution in Wu Baozhong's tone, and there was also a worried expression on his face.
Wu Baozhong is a shrewd man, so he will not be fooled by the calmness in front of him. He has already felt the undercurrent beneath this calmness, and he just doesn't know where the problem will go.
Especially tonight is the time for the cocktail party, but Wu Baozhong has not found anything yet, so he is even more worried.
This traitor knows that the calmer the situation is now, the more covert the military commander's actions are. If no abnormalities are discovered, there will definitely be problems at night.
After hearing the answers from the two people, Tanaka Weisuke squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Captain Wu, you didn't find anything. Do you think this cocktail party will be held safely? There will be no problems at all."
Tanaka Weisuke's expression was very bad, and he looked at Wu Baozhong with a bit of dissatisfaction. After all, the military police captain knew that the anti-Japanese elements of the military command would never watch the Japanese hold a cocktail party safely.
But now there is nothing abnormal, which means that the cocktail party in the evening is very likely to cause problems, so Tanaka Misuke is very dissatisfied. If he had not had to shoot the arrow, he would have canceled the cocktail party.
After all, if something went wrong at such a large-scale cocktail party, the Japanese would be embarrassed, and there might be serious consequences.
"Your Majesty General, it's still early and the military commanders may not start taking action, so we didn't find out.
But don’t worry, even if I risk my life, I will ensure the safety of this cocktail party."
Under this situation, Wu Baozhong had no choice but not to express his position. After all, he had already seen that Tanaka Weisuke was very dissatisfied.
What's more, the cocktail party held this time was organized by Wu Baozhong. The purpose was to lure the military commander to take action in Tianjin city so that he could catch them all at once, so he had to express his stance no matter what.
But Wu Baozhong was very worried and didn't know what the problem was. After all, he sent a large number of people to watch nearby, but found nothing.
Hearing Wu Baozhong's statement, Tanaka Weisuke frowned, then sighed and said lightly: "My request for tonight's reception is very simple, that is, there should be no big trouble. Do you understand!"
In this situation, Tanaka Weisuke did not dare to completely trust Wu Baozhong. After all, the traitor had not discovered anything, so the military police captain lacked confidence.
But the matter was already close at hand, and there was no other way. Tanaka Weisuke could only lower his requirements and let Wu Baozhong focus entirely on the safety of the reception.
As for whether they can find the military commander, it is secondary, because in Tanaka Weisuke's eyes, the safety of the reception is the first priority.
"Hey, General, don't worry, I will do my best to serve you in this humble position."
Wu Baozhong's pressure suddenly eased. After all, what Tanaka Misuke said, he could give up looking for clues about military commanders and make every effort to ensure the safety of the reception.
At this time, Wu Baozhong also felt a little helpless. He did not expect that the military commanders would be so powerful and did not reveal any flaws. If this traitor had not understood the military commanders' style, he would have thought that the military commanders would not take action.
As soon as Wu Baozhong finished speaking, Tanaka Weisuke waved his hand and motioned for him to go out to work.
When Wu Baozhong turned around and walked out, Kawashima Jinwu asked: "Your Majesty General, the situation is too peaceful now. I feel like something big will happen."
"I also feel that something is wrong. The current calm is very much the prelude to the coming storm!"
Tanaka Misuke's tone was full of worry, and he was also very agitated, fearing that something might go wrong at the evening's drinking party.
"Your Majesty General, what should we do? Are we entrusting the safety of the reception to Wu Baozhong?"
Through this period of contact, Kawashima Jinwu has recognized Wu Baozhong's ability, so he asked this question.
"We can't rely on him, let alone completely trust him. After all, he is a Chinese."
Tanaka Weisuke is Japanese after all. Even if he values Wu Baozhong very much, he will not be completely at ease with him. Especially since tonight's cocktail party is huge, the military police captain is even more uneasy.
After listening to Tanaka Misuke's words, Kawashima Jinwu immediately said: "I understand, General, please rest assured that when entering the reception, I will strictly check every guest to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Since the safety of the reception could not be placed on Wu Baozhong, Kawashima Jinwu had no choice but to take action and inspect it himself.
In the view of the Japanese colonel, there should be no problems if the evening reception was held at the Military Police Station. The only hidden danger was the people attending the reception, so this decision was made.
"Not only must there be strict inspections, but there must also be three checkpoints, and you are personally responsible for the last checkpoint, so as to ensure safety."
Tanaka Misuke had the same view as Kawashima Kanetake. He also believed that military commanders could only ruin the reception by mixing in with the guests, so he made this arrangement.
