Chapter 174 Rest

Lin Fan and the Special Forces Aviation Brigade were resting, but the others did not stop their resistance against Japan.

During this time, the intelligence personnel that Li Xian had placed in Hangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Nanjing all took action after receiving orders.

They were to collect information on Japanese airports and ports according to the orders, preparing the Special Forces for the next wave of attacks against the Japanese.

Dai Li, following Chiang Kai-shek's orders, personally delivered intelligence on the Japanese military bases on Wan Island to Lin Fan. He represented Chiang Kai-shek's attitude.

After meeting Lin Fan, he began to apologize, "We didn't know you would make such a big move. The intelligence came a little late."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Good intelligence is never late, we can use all of this."

Dai Li immediately understood: The Special Forces were not just making a surprise attack on Wan Island, they would be back again in the future.

He immediately said, "If possible, please inform us before your future actions, so that we can share targeted intelligence."

The implication was a subtle criticism of the Special Forces always acting alone, without reporting their combat plans to Chongqing.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I won't hide anything from you, Brother Dai. It's not that I'm unwilling to report the combat plans to Chongqing, it's just that I have few people and few soldiers.

I simply cannot bear the risk of even the slightest bit of information being leaked. Take the battle a few days ago, for example, the various units within the Special Forces only received the battle report after the entire aviation team returned.

The fewer people who know about combat plans, the better. Secrecy is Chongqing's biggest weakness, and you, Brother Dai, who do this job, should be very clear about it."

Dai Li was silent. He couldn't lie against his conscience. Over the years, he had been constantly arresting traitors and spies, but they were like bamboo shoots after a rain, always impossible to eliminate completely; one batch was cut down, and another grew out.

"Alas!" He could only sigh softly.

Lin Fan suddenly laughed, "I know President Chiang has been to the Japanese mainland, I wonder if you, Brother Dai, have people on the Japanese mainland?"

"What intelligence do you want?" Dai Li's eyes lit up. The Special Forces' night bombing of the Japanese mainland last time had made Dai Li secretly excited for days.

"I want the detailed locations of various military ports, military bases, various weapons factories, and shipyards along the Japanese coast, as well as a detailed map of the Japanese mainland. It would be even better if there were detailed sand tables.

In addition, I also need a detailed layout of the coastal cities in Japan, detailed to the point of how many Japanese police officers there are on each street, how many Japanese banks there are, where they keep their money every day, as well as the various situations of their oil depots, airports, and other places."

Dai Li thought for a while and said, "Your request involves too many things. Some things are publicly available to the outside world by the Japanese, and some are Japanese secrets.

But when these things are put together, they are all secrets.

If you have something specific, just one aspect of the information, the collection time will be much faster."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, the War of Resistance against Japan is not something that can be accomplished overnight, we still have time to wait.

I just want to make a strike plan against various infrastructures on the Japanese mainland, to fundamentally strike at their ability to continue fighting.

To make it impossible for the Japanese to continue their aggression, to undermine the Japanese economy and normal domestic production, and to add a little difficulty to their weapons production."

Dai Li thought for a while and said, "I will try my best to have people prepare it."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "A few days ago, before we launched an attack on the Japanese Navy's Fifth Fleet, the commander of the Fourth War Zone sent us Chen Ce, the former commander of the Humen Fortress, Chief of Staff Pu Xueliang, Staff Officer Xiang Zuyang, and Shi Han.

These people played a huge role in annihilating the Japanese Navy's Fifth Fleet and attacking Wan Island. It can be said that without their early participation in formulating the combat plan, there would have been no successful implementation of that operation."

Hearing Lin Fan say this, Dai Li understood, Lin Fan wanted people.

He thought for a while and said, "I can find some people for you. These people are not necessarily our people, some just like to run around, some are reporters."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Donkey friends!"

"What are donkey friends?" Dai Li didn't understand.

"They are travelers like Xu Xiake, they just like to travel and explore in various places," Lin Fan explained.

"That's a very vivid description, they are indeed like that. These people are very familiar with the cities, customs, and some attractions on the Japanese mainland, and they are also very familiar with the roads.

But they are not our people, and we cannot guarantee their loyalty.

The same goes for those reporters. Most reporters support the War of Resistance against Japan, but they make a living by gathering information and take pride in reporting exclusive news.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee that they can keep secrets."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Thank you for your reminder, Brother Dai! We will pay attention."

Dai Li suddenly said, "We have a person who has been captured by the 76th."

Lin Fan looked at him without answering, knowing in his heart: this was him coming to ask for a reward. He wondered if this matter was a temporary idea or if he had come prepared.

Dai Li looked at Lin Fan's gaze and said with a bitter smile, "This time, I came specifically to deliver intelligence. This person was captured by the 76th the day before yesterday.

Her identity has not been exposed, so she has not been tortured and is still considered safe. But before I came, the special agents of the 76th had just captured her contact.

Her situation is very dangerous. If Commander Lin can rescue her, she is very familiar with the Japanese mainland. She has lived there for fifteen years and has traveled to many places.

She has even been invited to visit some of the Japanese military ports."

Lin Fan was surprised, "This is a person with status!"

Dai Li said, "Her name is Gui Shiyun, and she is now a reporter. Her family background is also ordinary. She is popular in Japan simply because she is beautiful and sensible."

Lin Fan thought for a while and said, "Her contact has already been captured, even if we rescue her, it will be too late!"

Hearing that Lin Fan intended to take action, Dai Li breathed a sigh of relief, "We estimate that she will be safe for twenty-four hours."

Lin Fan thought for a while and said, "Is there any information?"

"Yes!" Dai Li finished speaking and took out a stack of information and several photos, pointing to a woman in the photos and said, "This is Gui Shiyun, this is her contact, Lin Jue.

If possible, bring him back. If not, give him a quick death. The same goes for Gui Shiyun."

Lin Fan was still wondering what Gui Shiyun's background was, that Dai Li would personally ask him to rescue her. He didn't expect it to not be a rescue, but an assassination.

Lin Fan sighed, "Brother Dai! I said I owed you a favor for the intelligence you sent last time. The rescue of Gui Shiyun, whether successful or not, this favor will be considered repaid."

Dai Li immediately said, "It's all for the War of Resistance against Japan, what are you talking about favors? As long as Commander Lin takes action, he will definitely succeed."

"I won't send you off, Brother Dai. Time is urgent, I'll go arrange it."

When Li Xian heard that Lin Fan was going to Shanghai again, he immediately became somewhat unwilling. Lin Fan said with a smile, "We have already been in and out of Shanghai twice, don't forget that we understand Shanghai.

There won't be much danger this time, I'll just go in once and come out."

Li Xian also knew that Shanghai was a place where people of all kinds mixed, and for someone like Lin Fan, going in and out was indeed not a big problem.

But how would Lin Fan get in?

This time, Lin Fan wanted to get people from the 76th, how could he get them? Of course, he would have to fight his way in and find them himself.

From the information Dai Li sent, the markings on the various buildings inside the 76th were clear: where the special agents' offices were, where the prisons were, all were marked clearly.

Even the sentry posts and bunkers inside the buildings were marked.

Li Shiqun had been feeling complacent and high-spirited these past few days. Ever since he followed the Japanese, he had always been Ding Mocun's subordinate.

Although he had always felt that his abilities, talents, and loyalty were higher than Ding Mocun's, he was still a deputy in this special agent organization established under the instructions of the Japanese.

But this time, after he had expanded the team, the original No. 67 courtyard could no longer accommodate so many of their special agents, let alone his ambitions.

Taking the opportunity to move to No. 76, Li Shiqun finally regained a large number of subordinates. Now, Ding was the nominal head of the 76th.

He was the real power figure. In order to show his abilities to his masters, Li Shiqun sent his subordinates out to attack frantically and arrest anti-Japanese masses from all walks of life.

Gui Shiyun was captured in this way. The reason was that her articles contained metaphors that uglified the Japanese.

This reason was somewhat far-fetched, but also very sufficient. After all, as long as you are willing to understand in one direction, you can always find reasons for words.

Today, he specially dressed up and took the initiative to come to the room where Gui Shiyun was being held, looking at the fashionable and beautiful woman in front of him. Li Shiqun still appreciated her very much.

He just said one sentence to this woman, "Confess the organization behind you, tell me everything you know."

Gui Shiyun had been here for two days and had not been tortured yet. She had recovered some from her initial fear.

She had also seen Li Shiqun on the newspaper. She immediately started to complain, "Captain Li! I am wronged, I really didn't join any organization!

I am just an ordinary reporter, I haven't joined any organization."

"Whether you joined or not, it's not up to you, it's up to us! If we say you are, you are, even if you're not! If we say you're not, you're not, even if you are!" Li Shiqun suddenly said these words.

Gui Shiyun immediately said, "Captain Li! I really am not! I still have some money in the bank..."

"Are we people who want money? What we want is the organization behind you!" Li Shiqun specially emphasized.

In his heart, he actually believed that there was no organization behind Gui Shiyun, otherwise, he would have used severe torture on her long ago.

The purpose of forcing her like this now was just to make a fortune and enjoy some beauty.

Gui Shiyun was panicked, she didn't know if this notorious big traitor had caught her handle,

She was uneasy in her heart, and tried hard to maintain her composure on her face, but she still couldn't change her pale face.

The loss of beauty was exactly what she looked like now, truly weak and pitiful, making people feel sorry for her.

Seeing the beauty showing such a weak and helpless look in front of him, Li Shiqun felt a great pity in his heart.

If there weren't other special agents in this interrogation room, he would have wanted to hug the beauty and comfort her.

Li Shiqun sneered, "We have already searched your home and found a lot of evidence. Now there are only two paths in front of you, one is to cooperate with us and confess honestly; the other is to go all the way to the dark, and see if our methods are hard or your mouth is hard."

After finishing speaking, he got up to leave, Gui Shiyun said nervously, "Captain Li, I really am just a reporter. I have a sum of money in Citibank, the account and password for that sum of money is..."

After Li Shiqun stood still and listened carefully, he said to Wu Sibao beside him in a calm voice, "Sibao! Go and get this money out, and give it to the brothers as tea money."

This was the method he was able to quickly sideline Ding Mocun, and Wu Sibao quickly agreed and personally took people to get the money and sent it all to Li Shiqun.

Li Shiqun only took 20%, and returned the remaining 80%, "The brothers are working hard, you keep 20% too, and divide the rest among the brothers."

When Wu Sibao saw that the master took the same amount as him, he was unwilling, and after much persuasion, Li Shiqun kept 60%, and Wu Sibao divided the rest into two halves, kept one half for himself, and distributed the other half to his subordinates.

When Lin Jue was captured by the special agents of the 76th, he knew in his heart that he was finished. He was not a soft bone, and as soon as he entered the 76th, Li Shiqun personally came to do ideological work.

Lin Jue was unwilling to surrender to the enemy, and there was no point in talking too much. After a few words, Li Shiqun had already lost his patience, and he was very confident in the tricks he invented.

He had his subordinates use torture directly. Under the torture devices he invented, no one had been able to hold out. While his subordinates were using torture, Li Shiqun and Wu Sibao went to the Great World to play.

Shanghai had been changing every thirty years! Before the arrival of the Japanese, Shanghai was the Shanghai of the "Three Great Gangsters."

After the arrival of the Japanese, it became Zhang Xiaolin's world. Now, even Zhang Xiaolin didn't dare not give Li Shiqun face.

Li Shiqun was now considered a rising star in Shanghai.

Lin Fan was going to attack this big traitor today, but Lin Fan was not going to kill him specifically. Lin Fan was just going to take a walk in Li Shiqun's lair, the 76th.

For this plan, Lin Fan brought two companies, the first company and the second company of the Sixth Regiment.

These two companies were stationed in Tangshan, and had been dealing with the Japanese, and would also sneak into Nanjing City from time to time to gather information, and were very suitable for doing things behind enemy lines.

Lin Fan brought the two companies, and still entered Shanghai by riding on dung boats. All the weapons of the two companies were inside the dung boats, smuggled in.

They entered without any danger. Once they entered the city, the sewers were all places that the Special Forces had been to before, and they were familiar with the way and entered a warehouse that had been rented since 1937.

The Special Forces had four warehouses left in Shanghai, and they usually didn't store any valuable goods, and there weren't many people coming and going often. Just like most ordinary warehouses, they didn't attract any attention at all.

If there was anything different on this day, it was that the people who came out to buy vegetables bought more meat than usual.

The time for the action, Lin Fan, as usual, put it in the evening. During the day, he and First Company Commander Zhen Jianshu, Reconnaissance Platoon Leader Mo Wen, Second Company Commander Meng Qilue, and several platoon leaders, including Reconnaissance Platoon Leader Xie Wu, all went to see the outside of the 76th.

Underground, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon had also found the action route and marked it, waiting for the action at night.

At 11:30 in the evening, fifty-seven rickshaws were running fast on the streets, pulling people.

These rickshaw pullers and passengers were all from Zhen Jianshu's company. Some of the soldiers in his company had already come over first.

They were all waiting around the 76th. The mission of the first company was to block the special agents and the Japanese from reinforcing the 76th.

The mission of the second company commander was to attack the 76th and rescue the people. Lin Fan knew the cruelty of the 76th, so he had prepared two stretchers in advance to carry people.

At twelve o'clock, Lin Fan quietly approached the 76th with his men. Before the two special agents on duty at the door could react, they were had their necks slit by Lin Fan and Meng Qilue.

Two soldiers immediately put on the clothes of the special agents and replaced them. The soldiers of the second company of the third team opened the iron gate of the 76th with agile movements, and quickly began to clear out the special agents inside.

Lin Fan's order was very simple: "Treat them the same way as the Japanese."

Tang Zhong was patrolling the yard of the 76th with six or seven subordinates, leading two wolfhounds, when the two wolfhounds suddenly started barking wildly towards the direction of the courtyard wall.

Tang Zhong and his group looked in that direction, but didn't find anything. But the wolfhounds were standing up and trying to break free of the leash.

These little traitors on night duty shouted in a deep voice, "Who's there?"

No one responded!

Tang Zhong signaled to release the wolfhounds, and just as two little traitors were about to untie the leash, "Da da da! Da da da!" The crisp and rapid sound of gunfire rang out.

Two wolfhounds and three or four traitors immediately fell into a pool of blood. Tang Zhong was lucky enough to not die in the first wave of attacks.

He quickly drew his gun and was about to fight back, when another burst of dense gunfire rang out. Several patrol traitors in his squad all fell to the ground and died.

The sound of gunfire here was like a signal, and the sound of gunfire and explosions rang out throughout the entire No. 76 courtyard.

The alarm in the yard was also wailing, and the four searchlights in the four corners of the high places also lit up.

And machine guns also began to strafe. Lin Fan raised the submachine gun in his hand, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several single shots in a row, the machine guns went silent, and the searchlights went out.

There was a constant sound of corpses falling from high places.

Li Shiqun was a careful person, he knew that he was not tolerated in the world. There were many people who wanted to kill him.

He put his heart into the construction of the No. 76, and he had set up hidden bunkers inside. Just when the searchlights were being blown up, the machine guns hidden in the hidden bunkers opened fire.

"Duduudu! Duduudu!"
