Chapter 1601 The Timing is Just Right
Just as the Japanese sergeant said, there were no more sentries before entering Ruicheng.
Xiang Chu and others had a smooth journey and arrived at the east gate of Ruicheng.
The lights were on at the South Gate, and the Japanese soldiers were gathering.
The East Gate was deserted, with a squad of Japanese soldiers on duty.
The leader was a second lieutenant, who raised his hand and shouted:
"Everyone dismount and be inspected."
Xiang Chu and Liu Sen, both with the rank of captain, walked in front.
The two men dismounted first and walked forward.
Xiang Chu handed the lieutenant a Jinzi brand cigarette and said in a pure Tokyo accent:
"Second Lieutenant! Are you from Tokyo too?"
The lieutenant took the cigarette and said with a smile, "Are you from Tokyo too? Which unit are you from?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! We are special agents assigned to the 516th Unit."
After saying this, he handed his and Liu Sen's ID to the Japanese second lieutenant.
The Japanese second lieutenant took the document and examined it carefully, then said with an awkward smile:
"Captains! I need to call and confirm with the 516th Unit."
Xiang Chu and Liu Sen nodded in unison: "Okay!"
"Hold on!"
The Japanese second lieutenant bowed and turned to walk into the communication room.
Xiang Chu distributed cigarettes to the Japanese soldiers present and tried to get close to them.
A Japanese sergeant, perhaps disagreeing with the leading second lieutenant, whispered, "Captain! The 516th Unit is south of the city. Wouldn't it be better for you to enter through the south gate? Second Lieutenant Inoue is notoriously strict. Don't wait until dawn to investigate."
Xiang Chu was shocked. According to the information provided by his master, the 516th Army was in the City God Temple in the east of the city.
This Japanese sergeant was right. There was something wrong with the intelligence provided by the underground party comrades!
Xiang Chu calmed himself down and said with a wry smile, "Sergeant! The troops are gathering in the south of the city. We can't get in even if we want to. I'll ask Lieutenant Inoue. If they don't want us to enter through the east gate, then we can go in through the south gate."
After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of the communication room. The Japanese second lieutenant was still holding the phone. There was a map of Ruicheng on the wall. He hurried in.
The Japanese second lieutenant said unhappily: "Captain! I'm still confirming with the 516th Unit. Please wait outside!"
Xiang Chu looked at the map and saw that the City God Temple was indeed in the south of the city. The east was a restricted area. He pretended to be displeased and said, "Mr. Inoue! If you won't let us in here, we'll go through the crowded south gate.
Why do Tokyoites make things difficult for Tokyoites?
After saying this, he turned and walked out of the reception room, pretending to be angry and said:
"Inukai-kun! Let's go to the south gate. This lieutenant is too strict."
Liu Sen nodded and said, "Okay!"
The Japanese second lieutenant walked out of the communication room and shouted:
"Captain! Go into the city. Remember! You can only walk close to the city wall."
Xiang Chu turned around and said gratefully:
“Thank you, fellow countryman!”
The Japanese second lieutenant waved his hand and said, "You're welcome! Hurry up and go into the city. They're leaving."
Xiang Chu jumped on his horse, waved his hand, and rushed into the south gate with the shadow spies.
Liu Zhengxiong caught up with him and asked doubtfully, "Isn't the 516th Unit at the City God Temple in the east of the city?"
Xiang Chu whispered, "Maybe the intelligence is wrong! I just looked at the military deployment map of Ruicheng and its surrounding areas. The 516th Army is in the City God Temple in the south of the city, and the chemical weapons are hidden in the east of the city."
Liu Zhengxiong said worriedly, "Could it be that someone has betrayed us and deliberately set a trap for us to fall into?"
Liu Sen shook his head and said, "That's not right! The Japanese from the 516th Unit must be going to the east of the city frequently to inspect chemical weapons. It's not safe to go on the ground."
Xiang Chu said thoughtfully: "From the City God Temple in the south of the city to the chemical weapons warehouse in the east of the city, will the devils of the 516th Unit take a tunnel?"
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "The Japanese have occupied this place for a long time. They must have dug a tunnel."
Soon, the City God Temple appeared before our eyes.
There were three Japanese military vehicles parked at the door, and a group of Japanese military doctors in white coats got on the vehicles and were about to set off.
Xiang Chu and Liu Sen hurriedly dismounted and walked towards the Japanese military doctor.
An older military doctor stepped forward, pointed at Xiang Chu and scolded him:
"Inukai Juichi! If you don't come again, we'll leave."
Xiang Chu didn't bother to say he recognized the wrong person, so he asked with a smile, "Excuse me, who are you?"
The Japanese military doctor rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I'm Jiro Ishii! Head of the water supply unit. Go to the east of the city immediately and remove the chemical weapons."
Xiang Chu was overjoyed and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Ishii! We are not familiar with Ruicheng. Can you send someone to lead us there?"
Ishii Jiro pointed to a young Japanese military doctor and said, "Nakaso Saburo! You lead the frontline special forces team through the tunnel."
The young military doctor stepped forward and nodded, "Hello!"
Ishii Jiro looked behind Xiang Chu and ordered:
"Inukai-kun! Take half of the men and follow Nakaso Saburo to the east of the city, and the other half will ride on horseback to protect us."
Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Mr. Ishii! Where shall we meet?"
Jiro Ishii was not familiar with geography and scratched his head, unable to explain it.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "There are too many troops south of the city, making it difficult to move. Why don't we meet at the river bridge east of the city and march south together?"
Ishii Jiro nodded and said, "The roads south of the city are indeed blocked. It would be very appropriate for us to take a detour east of the city."
After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and walked proudly towards the military truck.
Xiang Chu ordered Gan Rong, "Lord Yebi! Take half the men on horseback, and take our horses to protect the imperial physician's convoy. We will meet at the river bridge east of the city."
"Hello!"
Gan Rong bowed and accepted the order.
Nakaso Saburo stepped forward and urged, "Inukai-kun! Please bring your men with you."
"Yoshi!"
Xiang Chu nodded, waved his hand, and shouted loudly,
"Agent Team One! Hand the warhorse over to Agent Team Two, and follow me!"
"Hello!"
Liu Zhengxiong and others hurriedly accepted the order, dismounted and followed Xiang Chu's footsteps.
Xiang Chu followed closely behind Zeng Sanlang, handed him a cigarette, and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Nakazon! If we were a few minutes late, we wouldn't have caught up with you. The timing is perfect!"
Nakaso Saburo took the cigarette and nodded, "Yes! Major Ishii doesn't like waiting for people. If you can't make it in time, we'll leave early."
Xiang Chu praised: "You are really smart. You even thought of building a tunnel to the warehouse in the east of the city."
Nakaso Saburo shook his head and said, "No! We are not being clever, we are being cautious. If chemical weapons were to leak, the consequences would be disastrous."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! We must be extra careful when transporting chemical weapons and cannot make any mistakes."
At this time, everyone walked into the main hall of the City God Temple.
Nakaso Saburo turned to look at Liu Zhengxiong and the others behind him, and said with a wry smile, "Inukai-kun! I sometimes wonder if the Empire's use of chemical weapons against the Chinese is too inhumane."
Xiang Chu had seen the cunning in his eyes and scolded him, "Mr. Zhong Zeng! You must not say such things. In order to achieve 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere', the Empire must take extraordinary measures."
Nakaso Saburo said with a smile, "Very good! Inukai-kun and I share the same ideals, truly worthy of being an elite agent of the Empire. If I hadn't asked this, I wouldn't have dared lead you into the tunnels."
After he finished speaking, he walked behind the statue and stomped his feet hard. A secret door on the ground opened, and a slanted ladder led to the underground.
Xiang Chu and the others followed Zhong Zeng Saburo into the tunnel, which was dimly lit and led to the distance...
