Chapter 49: Whereabouts Exposed

  "Mr. Sakata, recently the city of Fengtian has been quite unstable. This morning at the city gate, more than a dozen gendarmes were beaten up by someone. You must dispatch people to investigate thoroughly and capture the culprits, no matter what it takes!"

  Inoue Kenji walked forward, ignoring the Japanese sentries who were bowing to him.

  By his side was the chief of staff of the Kempeitai, Sakata Ichiro, a man of medium build from Hokkaido who was also Inukai's brain trust and came up with many bad ideas.

  Sakata nodded in agreement, "Yes, Captain. You're right. Recently, there's been a lot of commotion within the city walls of Fengtian. Apart from the Northeastern Army causing trouble for us, there are also some unknown forces at play. This morning, Miura from Kyoto Merchant House sent over some intel that a group of merchants who came to buy fabric were acting suspiciously. He had someone tail them for half a day, and although they were eventually cleared, he still has a bad feeling about it! Also, there was an incident where a group of wandering ronin were beaten up badly at the tea house, leaving them all crippled!"

  "This place is getting more and more lively!" Inuyama Ken let out a sigh, but immediately a smile floated onto his face. "However, the more chaotic it gets, the better it is for our Kanto army!"

  "Really? Really?"

  At this time, the two people had already passed through the gate of the third courtyard and arrived outside the combat room!

  Without intending to, Sakata Ichiro looked up and saw the brightly lit operations room. He couldn't help but say in surprise, "Why are the lights still on in the operations room? How are Akikaze and the others doing their duty?"

  Turning back, Sakata Ichiro searched for the two staff officers who should have been on duty tonight in the courtyard: Akikage and Tōshi. However, there was no sign of either of them anywhere in the courtyard!

  His subordinate made a fool of himself in front of the commander, which made Sakata Ichirō extremely dissatisfied. He kicked open the door and rushed into the house where the staff lived.

  The intense smell of blood made Sakata Ichiro, who had rushed in with the intention of scolding someone, freeze. When his eyes fell on the three staff officers lying on the kang, soaked in bloodstains, he shivered and suddenly realized what had happened!

  "Something's going on!"

  Ikeda Ichiro drew a pistol from his waist and rushed out of the house, firing two shots into the air while shouting, "Close the gate! Search! Someone has infiltrated the Kempeitai!"

  As the shrill sound of gunfire pierced through the night sky, the Kempeitai squad was thrown into chaos. Soldiers sounded the alarm, and the wailing siren shook people's eardrums, making them feel hot. Troops rushed out of their barracks, dispersed in all directions under the command of their respective officers, and launched a search!

  "Trouble!" Just as Luo Xiang and Sun Dong, who had sneaked out of the main gate while Jianjian and Sakata Ichiro were entering, hadn't gone far, they were blocked by the devils in the second courtyard.

  The gates to the first and third courtyards were sealed off by the devils, and a group of Japanese soldiers rushed in, starting a thorough search. Luo Xiang and his companions realized they would be exposed soon!

  The armband on his arm had been torn off, and Luo Xiang and Sun Dong hid behind a group of Japanese soldiers, trying to conceal themselves in an inconspicuous place, hoping to find an opportunity to slip away!

  However, the Japanese military police soon discovered this group of Japanese soldiers and walked towards them!

  Luo Xiang saw that there was no way to avoid it, so he said in a low voice, "Sun Dong, when the gun goes off, you take action!" As he spoke, Luo Xiang raised his hand and opened the holster of the pistol at his waist, grasping the grip!

  Sun Dong heard the sound, his right hand reached behind him, pulled out two grenade-like objects, then put the pull ring of the fuse on his finger, ready to go!

  A Japanese military policeman approached, and upon seeing the lieutenant insignia on Luo Xiang and Sun Dong, he hastily stood at attention and bowed, "Sorry, sirs, we have orders to conduct an inspection!"

  Luo Xiang's facial muscles twitched, then beamed with a smile, nodded at him and said, "It's okay, we should cooperate!" As he spoke, he stood there waiting for the other party to come forward.

  The constable didn't know it was a trap and really walked up, standing in front of Luo Xiang, "Please undo your outer garments and trousers, I want to check!"

  The Japanese soldiers and officers all wear shirts inside, and the lower body also wears Japan's special underwear. If it is temporarily mixed in, the outer clothes can be changed, but the inner clothes will not be changed, so he wants to check like this!

  Luo Xiang smiled and nodded, then reached out as if to unbutton his collar, but just as the opponent relaxed his guard, he suddenly stretched out his left hand, wrapped it around the opponent's neck, pulled him into his arms, and then his right hand gun was drawn, pointing directly at the Japanese soldier in front of him, firing several shots!

  Unexpectedly, several Japanese gendarmes rushed out, each with a bullet in the middle of their forehead, shot dead!

  "Sun Dong!" With a burst of gunfire, Luo Xiang dragged the Japanese military police sergeant Cao Chang to the left behind a fake hill, while shouting at Sun Dong.

  Sun Dong, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, stretched out his right hand from behind him and swung it forcefully towards the Japanese soldier not far in front of him. Then he himself also jumped over the mountain to the back of the fake hill!

  The Japanese military police were awakened from their shock at being hijacked and shot down, only to see several black objects flying towards them and landing at people's feet.

  Lowering their heads to look, when they saw that it was several shells emitting white smoke after being hit, the devils were frightened and shouted as they turned around and dispersed in all directions.

  Bang!

  Three hand grenades exploded almost simultaneously, and shrapnel instantly enveloped the Japanese military police. When the smoke cleared, a large number of Japanese soldiers had fallen to the ground, and the rest were crouched down beside them, afraid of being blown up.

  After a moment, the Japanese garrison understood and let out a strange cry, then swarmed up, rushing straight to the fake hill where Luo Xiang and Sun Dong were hiding.

  Luo Xiang turned his hand and shot the Japanese captain who was originally intended to be a hostage, then pulled out the micro-pistol hidden in his clothes, and fired several shots from behind the fake hill.

  Several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, and the rest immediately dropped to the ground!

  Sun Dong's right hand grasped the 92 improved pistol, and his left hand grabbed another grenade from his waist and knocked it on the rockery, then threw it out!

  There was a loud crash, and a cloud of smoke spread throughout the courtyard. Sand and rocks seemed to be pouring down on Luo Xiang and Sun Dong's heads like a torrential rain!

  "Charge out!" Luo Xiang shouted, then followed Sun Dong from behind the fake mountain. He had a submachine gun in his hand, while Sun Dong had two pistols. The crossfire formed a web of firepower, temporarily suppressing the enemy at the gate, and then retreated to the surrounding wall!
