Seventh Ten Section

  After some deliberation, Itai decided it was absolutely necessary to get rid of Tetsu.

  Because the pseudo-army is really not on the stage, it has a feeling of being unable to carve rotten wood and apply dung to walls. Therefore, Itabana decided that this operation would be carried out entirely by the Imperial Army's elite secret service troops.

  The heavy responsibility of carrying out this task fell on the shoulders of the 2525th unit of the Japanese devils. This unit of the Japanese devils has very little written records in history, mainly because it was meant to be hidden. The name of this unit is something that even ordinary Japanese devils may not have heard of. Although most members of this unit are Japanese, due to their long-term activities in China, they can no longer be distinguished as Japanese from their living habits or speech tones. Moreover, some of these people have been living in unnoticeable places for a long time and have their own occupations, even becoming locals. In appearance, they are just like native Chinese people. To put it bluntly, they are like the "Made-in-China" agents played by Stephen Chow, who would take action immediately once they receive an order from the Japanese devils. Of course, in order to maintain the suddenness of their actions, they do not have any contact with the Japanese devils during peacetime, and even ordinary Japanese devils do not know that these people are their own kind.

  Although this 25025 troops are quite large in number, but after being distributed throughout China, they become very scarce, with only one or two in a county town, and even some places have none.

  Only Itami, as the highest authority in this land, has the right to know about it, and he also knows that there are six such members in his jurisdiction, including at least two who are mid-level ninjas!

  Through a special summoning method, all six members of the 2525th Squad stood in front of Itami.

  Six people with different attire stood in a very standard posture in the office, giving the office an eerie atmosphere.

  Itakawa laid out the plan for this operation and ordered them to succeed without fail.

  To get these six people familiar with modern weapons quickly, Itoda gave them three days.

  As former strictly trained soldiers, three days was enough time for them to get familiar with the weapons they were about to use.

  Among the six, two chose to take a submachine gun, one shooter and one spotter. The other two with the highest level of skill chose a katana and a pistol, as ninjas, the katana was their favorite. The remaining two didn't choose anything, just brought some flammable materials like gasoline and white phosphorus, and took a pistol.

  The six were arranged in the innermost part of the Japanese army barracks for closed training for three days before setting out.

  The goal is simple, get rid of Li Tie. If things go smoothly, gather some intelligence as well. As for Zhao Er Gou, in principle, do not carry out assassination, because his command ability is also very strong, but the combat method is still mediocre, not excessive. If he were to be killed, what if the Eighth Route Army gets another Li Tie-like guy to be the commander, wouldn't that be even more unlucky?

  The six men left the county town and headed straight for their base.

  As they had lived in this place for many years, they seemed familiar with the road and soon arrived at the location of the headquarters.

  Li Tie's injury was almost known by everyone in the base area, so they easily got this news.

  When they heard that the target was injured, they were even more delighted, this way, the assassination would be much easier.

  Because fellow villagers often went to visit Li Tie, so Li Tie's ward was not kept secret, and they soon confirmed the ward.

  Six people worked together, originally should have cooperated sincerely and acted as one, but one of them thought his martial arts skills were superior, completely not needing others to lift a hand, he alone could take down Li Tie, so without consulting with others, he directly took advantage of the dark night to sneak in.

  When he was outside the ward, since it was already clear where Li Tie was and the position of the bed, so through the window lattice, one look, the target was still on the bed, and then took out a gun to aim at the bed, just one shot. Originally, in his opinion, this one shot would be fine, the target would die, the mission would be completed, and he could go back to receive the reward. Who knew that just as he fired, Li Tie on the bed suddenly moved, and his own bullet was seen to have deviated from its position. When he wanted to add another shot, Li Tie in the room directly shot a burst of gunfire at him, which happened to hit his neck. Since the bullets were too dense, they immediately blew off his neck, and then his head fell to his feet, and only then did his body fall down. The poor devil's dream of promotion and wealth was not yet fulfilled before he went to see the Big Aunt in Heaven.

  And the other five, although they did not act with him, still understood his whereabouts. It is said that he was killed on the spot after failing to assassinate! Since one of their own was killed by the target, it must be a failed mission.

  The task has not been accomplished yet, we still need to work hard.

  The remaining devils gathered together, studied for half a day, and decided to continue acting under cover of darkness.

  Normally, after such a commotion, the other side should not take any action again, because the attacked party will definitely strengthen their vigilance. However, the remaining ninja plan to do the opposite and continue to take action tonight.

  Two people went to set fires and create chaos, creating opportunities for themselves, and preparing to ambush when the time was right.

  Similarly, this ninja didn't think much of his own companion and thought that eliminating an injured ordinary soldier would be a piece of cake for him. So he made arrangements to act alone and successfully entered the target's room, where he was shot at with a burst of gunfire. Although he wasn't injured, he was startled. However, when he saw Li Tie throwing his submachine gun at him in terror, he let his guard down, thinking that this soldier was nothing special. But who knew that Li Tie had another gun and successfully turned the ninja into a beehive? And so, the ninja also went to see the heavens with a sense of regret.

  But the blocking hand and the observing hand took advantage of the darkness to ambush, from a distance they saw that Li Tie's room was still lit up, with someone's shadow projected on the window, and fired a shot at the shadow. The result seemed ineffective, as the person inside not only wasn't knocked out but was startled instead, because the light in the house went out. He would never have extinguished the oil lamp himself, on the contrary, if he had extinguished the oil lamp, it would have meant that he hadn't hit the target. Now the room was pitch black, and he had lost the opportunity to continue shooting.

  Due to the abnormal psychology of the Japanese devils, since they couldn't assassinate secretly, they could only kill openly. The two groups merged into one, leaving behind a blocking hand, and the other three rushed towards the ward. Who knew that as soon as they arrived at the door of the ward, they were suddenly attacked by machine guns from behind and were all sent to hell.

  After clearing the outside battlefield and confirming that there were no more enemies found for the time being, Er Gou redeployed the medical team to a new location before leaving.

  The sentry post of the sanitation team still followed the old rules, one bright and one dark. However, this time there were two more people on night duty, and they weren't holding rifles in their hands, but machine guns specially called out from the company!

  As expected, not long after the troops withdrew to their barracks, a sentry discovered an unusual phenomenon on top of a haystack in front of Li Tie's sickroom: rural haystacks are generally designed with a pointed top to allow rainwater to flow down smoothly. After a autumn of rain washing, these points almost disappeared and became rounded shapes, very regular and beautiful. Under normal circumstances, even if some hay is taken from under the haystack, unless the haystack is completely emptied, this top will not be damaged.

  However, it was on this slightly larger haystack that there was an obvious hay peak. Although the haystack looked good, it seemed too sharp at this time - who would dismantle and re-stack the haystack in someone's home on a cold winter's day? That wasn't a waste of food? Moreover, after re-stacking, a lot of hay would definitely be wasted, which was not cost-effective.

  The sentry quietly aimed the machine gun at the top of the stack, then carefully observed. Finally, a slight movement appeared, slowly revealing a stick - it was likely to be a gun barrel, who would lie on the stack for nothing, and the muzzle was still pointing at the health team.

  The muzzle slowly rotated, gradually turning towards Li Tie's ward. At this time, the sentry did not hesitate any longer, and there must be an enemy on the thatched cottage, what else to wait for? So he raised his gun, a burst of bullets flew towards the thatched cottage, while another sentry continued to monitor. The bullets flew towards the top of the thatched cottage, bringing up a string of blood light.

  Upon hearing the gunshot, the soldiers rushed over and everyone pulled the person down from the haystack. They saw that this person was holding a sniper rifle, his head had already been shattered by the machine gun of the scout soldier, the entire top of the haystack was covered in blood and flesh. He was wearing civilian clothes, but the rifle he used was the enemy's Type 99 sniper rifle, which is a rare thing, ordinary people can't get it at all. It seems that this person was an enemy sniper.

  Since all the discovered enemies were dead, not a single one was alive, so the specific identities of these people are unknown. However, from the intelligence gathered by scouts and the captured samurai swords and handguns, Type 99 sniper rifles, it can be inferred that these people must have been part of the enemy's assassination unit, either in whole or in part.

  A series of anti-terrorism drills were carried out on the ground, focusing on strangers. However, after several real and fake exercises, no suspicious persons were found.

  Days passed by, Li Tie's injuries had almost recovered, and at the same time, his feelings for Lin Jing also rapidly warmed up, almost to the point of inseparability.

  Originally, Mother Khan didn't have the nerve to say that her matchmaking attempt had failed, but by chance, she discovered that Li Tie had actually hooked up with the very girl she was supposed to match him with.

  It turns out that I had been running around in vain, and at the time, the girl had already rejected me. I still thought she looked down on me, but unexpectedly, she had someone in her heart, and to my surprise, that person was actually my own adopted son, what a mess this has caused.

  The devils outside the base, in order to trap the Eighth Route Army to death in the mountains, implemented a cage policy on the outside. They took highways as lines and pillboxes as points, with a pillbox every ten miles along the highway, step by step compressing towards the base area.

  However, since the perimeter of the base was too large, the devils built countless pillboxes. In order to guard these pillboxes, they mobilized many puppet army troops to participate in the cordon and search operation to augment their own forces.

  A month later, Li Tie's injury had largely recovered. The time for revenge had arrived.
