Chapter 207 A bad start
"What? Xiao Luo and the others haven't returned? They're still in the city?"
Inside the command center of the Red Party headquarters in Xi'an Province, Zhuge Ming stared intently at Li Yilong in front of him, his eyes wide open.
It's as if Li Yilong would start cursing if he didn't say something clearly.
"Hehe, Chief of Staff, don't worry. Xiao Luo and the others came out earlier than us. I've already had someone check. Xiao Luo is fine. I heard from the traitors in the city that Xiao Luo and the others withdrew from the North Gate. They've probably gone somewhere to have fun. Maybe they'll be back in a couple of days. Besides, you know how capable Xiao Luo is. It's nothing serious. You can rest assured."
Li Yilong felt a chill run down his spine under Zhuge Ming's gaze. He cursed Bai Luo inwardly, but on the surface, he smiled and comforted the anxious Zhuge Ming.
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, drawing Li Yilong and Zhuge Ming's attention to the entrance of the command center.
Just then, Xiao Liu was seen running quickly towards the command post from outside the door.
He started speaking as soon as he entered the command center.
"Chief of Staff, news has come from the underground intelligence station in Yuan City that an explosion occurred at the Yuan City Command Headquarters this morning. However, the exact number of casualties has not yet been determined. Judging from the observation of the explosion site by our intelligence officers from a distance, the Japanese casualties should be considerable."
The Japanese have declared martial law throughout the city; they seem to be looking for someone. The streets of Yuan City are now teeming with Japanese soldiers.
After receiving Xiao Liu's report, Zhuge Ming, without bothering to reprimand Li Yilong, quickly took the intelligence from Xiao Liu's hand and began to read it.
After a moment, Zhuge Ming frowned and pondered, constantly guessing who had attacked the Japanese, but he couldn't come up with a clue after thinking for a long time.
However, this is ultimately a good thing. Thinking of this, Zhuge Ming looked up and instructed Xiao Liu.
"Xiao Liu, immediately call back the Yuan City intelligence station and order the underground intelligence station in Yuan City to conduct a thorough investigation. You must find out exactly who the Japanese are looking for."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Xiao Liu quickly walked out of the command post.
Upon hearing this news, Li Yilong's mind raced. He also needed to find out through certain channels whether he could take advantage of the disruption caused by the Japanese in the city to fleece the Japanese.
The more Li Yilong thought about it, the more hopeful it seemed, so he decided to hurry back and send someone to find out more information.
"Chief of staff, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. The troops have just gone through a major battle, and there's a ton of stuff waiting for me to handle when I get back."
After hearing Li Yilong's words, Zhuge Ming waved his hand without looking up, indicating that Li Yilong could leave.
Upon seeing this, Li Yilong immediately prepared to make a run for it.
"Wait, your West First Regiment must have had quite a haul this time. Keep one-third for yourself and send the rest to headquarters."
Li Yilong, who had just reached the door, immediately looked miserable and was about to play the victim.
But his little scheme couldn't fool Zhuge Ming, who didn't give Li Yilong a chance to speak.
"This is an order."
Li Yilong opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only reply helplessly.
"Yes."
Meanwhile, Bai Luo had just turned onto the small road in front of him when he noticed a group of Japanese soldiers walking towards him.
Seeing this, Bai Luo didn't choose to take a detour. Relying on his Japanese attire and fluent Japanese language, he continued along the path towards the Japanese headquarters.
But what Bai Luo didn't know was that he had already been noticed by the Japanese soldiers who were searching for him.
After learning that someone had taken Shinobu Ichinan away while impersonating an Imperial soldier, Miyano Jin ordered his troops to conduct a unified search of Hara City in squads, and to verify the passwords of anyone or any squad wearing Imperial uniforms they encountered on the road.
In particular, when encountering soldiers acting alone or in groups of only two or three, it is necessary to ask for their password, unit affiliation, and the name and rank of their immediate superior.
So when Bai Luo appeared alone in the Japanese soldiers' field of vision, he quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese soldiers who were searching around him.
"Halt! You, Private First Class, in front."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo stopped and turned to look at the Japanese squad leader who had been shouting at him.
Bai Luoke wasn't afraid of being investigated; his disguise was something most people couldn't see through.
The unit numbers on the uniforms also belong to the original units within the city.
The Japanese squad leader breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw Bai Luo stop.
However, he did not let his guard down and signaled his squad to be on alert.
He then slowly approached Bai Luo.
"Password."
Bai Luo...
"Password!"
When the squad leader saw that Bai Luo did not answer immediately, he repeated himself.
At the same time, his vigilance was at its highest, and one hand had already reached for the pistol at his waist. He also signaled to his Japanese soldiers to surround Bai Luo.
Bai Luo was also a bit speechless. Shouldn't they be asking why someone belongs to which unit or something?
I didn't expect that he would ask me for the password right away, but he had no idea what the password was.
Although Bai Luo didn't take the dozen or so Japanese soldiers surrounding him seriously.
But Bai Luo still wanted to try again, so she gave a vague reply.
"Cherry blossoms?"
"Grab him!"
Upon hearing Bai Luo's command, the squad leader immediately gave orders to the Japanese soldiers around him.
Bai Luo sighed softly.
"Hey."
The next moment, Bai Luo quickly removed the bayonet that was originally stuck in the muzzle of the 38 rifle. Then, with a flash of light, the two Japanese soldiers who had just rushed in front of Bai Luo felt a pain in their necks.
A warm current surged from my neck, followed by a feeling of suffocation.
The two Japanese soldiers threw down their Type 38 rifles and covered their necks with their hands.
Seeing that his two men had their necks cut in an instant, the squad leader quickly grabbed the warning whistle from his neck to call for backup from the surrounding Japanese squads.
How could Bai Luo give him that chance? He quickly pulled out the bayonet that was stuck in the chest of the third Japanese soldier and threw it at the Japanese squad leader.
The sharp bayonet sliced through the less than 5-meter distance in an instant.
The next moment, the blade was completely embedded in the Japanese squad leader's forehead, with the tip protruding from the back of his head.
At the same time, a chilling "crack" sound came from the neck of the Japanese squad leader.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers only felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and then they saw the attacking squad leader's neck bend in half, his head drooping on his back, and he slowly falling to the ground.
This scene made the remaining Japanese soldiers gasp in shock, seeing that Bai Luo's flying knife had actually broken their squad leader's neck.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers raised their guns, ready to fire, no longer caring whether their shots would accidentally injure their comrades.
After throwing his bayonet, Bai Luo retrieved a Glock 26 pistol from his spatial storage.
"Puff puff puff puff puff..."
After a few soft but rapid shots, the remaining Japanese soldiers all had a bloody hole in their heads and fell to the ground.
After dealing with the group of Japanese soldiers, Bai Luo immediately turned around and ran back towards Wu Shiyu's house.
He figured the situation here would soon be discovered by other Japanese soldiers, so he had to hurry back and move out before the Japanese sealed off the area.
