Chapter 629: The Chain Reaction of Operation

Chen Yongyi's heart jolted; he was about to ask how you knew.

But he suddenly realized this possibility—could it be that Chen Yongren was deceiving him?

"You little brat, you've gotten clever, even trying to deceive me?" Chen Yongyi feigned ignorance: "I don't understand what you're saying."

Hearing Chen Yongyi's inner voice, Chen Yongren muttered, "You're playing this trick with me, your brother, right?"

"Don't understand?" Chen Yongren smiled: "If that's the case, the latest military intelligence I just overheard from the North China Army is useless to you."

"I thought this might be useful to you, so I saved a copy especially for you; since you can't use it, forget it—we'll meet again if we get the chance."

Chen Yongren feigned regret and turned to leave.

Hmm?

Hearing that, Chen Yongyi became somewhat unsettled.

That makes sense.

Getting cleared through my own effort is nothing compared to how quickly my brother obtained it by eavesdropping.

Nowadays people are genuinely "Japanese Sir."

If you bump into someone on the street, the person you bumped into must nod and bow and say something; only then is it a private mosaic.

"A Ren, you've come all this way—what intel do you have? Spill it," Chen Yongyi asked.

"You interested?" Chen Yongren asked.

Besides Lin Ke Xin, he could only joke and laugh in front of an older brother who harbored no ill will toward him.

"If I'm interested, you'll only tell me; then I'll just assume I'm interested," Chen Yongyi said.

"Never mind, you've come all this way—I won't hide it from you." Chen Yongren said in a low voice: "The little devils are preparing to launch Operation Five, aiming to strike straight at Yancheng… and then take Yucheng in one fell swoop."

"Huh?" Chen Yongyi felt it was absurd upon hearing it.

"This is the meeting minutes; I'm just an intern staff officer, not qualified to participate in the plan, so I can only take notes."

As they spoke, Chen Yongren pretended to pull out his pocket, retrieving the meeting minutes from the system space: "I can help you translate even if I don't understand Japanese."

Chen Yongyi gently shook his head, seriously examining the Japanese detailed operation plan.

As a senior agent rare in the party, and needing to disguise under multiple identities, it's natural to study another foreign language.

Looking at the intelligence Chen Yongren brought, Chen Yongyi's face filled with astonishment.

Operation Five?

This is the first time they've obtained the most complete plan since they started drafting operation plans from Japan.

"This intelligence is really..." Chen Yongyi exclaimed, unable to put it into words.

He finally understood why martial law was suddenly declared in Beiping City—it was because a bunch of devil officers had entered Beiping.

"Although this is just a draft of the operation, there probably won't be too many changes." Chen Yongren pondered, then said: "After all, given the current situation, the little devils can only expand their gains this way."

"That sounds nice..." Chen Yongyi scoffed: "Do they really think we'll fight according to their plans?"

Pausing, Chen Yongyi curled his lips and said: "Just hearing about this operation, I can feel its massive scale, and they also need to traverse plains, mountains, and other complex terrain, crossing wide rivers like the Yellow River, Wei River, Han River, Yangtze River, Jialing River, Fu River, and Qian River."

"That said, we still can't be careless." Chen Yongren said: "While we respond based on the operation plan, my side will also begin action afterward."

Chen Yongren feigned ignorance: "If you really have no action on your end, then I don't need to worry about accidentally harming your people."

"My action is just to find out what the little devils want; you've already found out everything, what else can I do?" Chen Yongyi muttered, shaking his head.

But soon he felt something was off.

You're welcome?

Hmm?

"What do you want to do?" Chen Yongyi wondered.

"If I can't solve the problem, I'll just eliminate the one who raised it." Chen Yongren said with a sigh: "The little devils are preparing to hold a welcome banquet tonight."

"After finally gathering so many little devils, I plan to wipe them all out in one pot—kill as many as I can!"

"Perhaps after killing them, I can force the devils to halt Operation Five."

"?" Several question marks appeared above Chen Yongyi's head.

Carry out an assassination.

My brother says it as easily as drinking water.

"I need to act tonight; if you also have plans, you'd better pause for a while, because the commotion might be big." Chen Yongren smiled.

"The commotion…might be big?" Chen Yongyi's expression grew more doubtful: "What exactly are you planning to do?"

"Remember to check tomorrow's newspaper." Chen Yongren said no more and turned to leave.

"Hey, you…" Chen Yongyi was about to ask how Chen Yongren could find him, but Chen Yongren had already vanished.

This brat.

Chen Yongyi felt somewhat helpless, lowering his head to glance at the Operation Five plan in his hand.

At the moment he didn't have time to think about his brother.

After several encounters, Chen Yongyi could feel that Chen Yongren bore him no ill will.

This is a sensation from their bloodline.

Moreover, Chen Yongren had plenty of chances to capture him for merit, yet he didn't.

Let's take it step by step.

Chen Yongyi also intended to report this intelligence, so the comrades in Yancheng could be mentally prepared.

……

Chen Yongren parted from Chen Yongyi, and along the way he used the Ghost Radio to send a telegram to Yucheng, reporting the matter of Operation Five.

Since having the Ghost Radio, sending reports and confusing the enemy's tracking of the radio have become much easier.

Unless one wishes it, the radio is absolutely leak-proof.

After Chongqing received this news, it was also very shocked.

This is a strategically valuable intelligence that is hard to come by, and from the very beginning our side could know all of the enemy's movements; even if war really broke out, we could deploy troops according to the enemy's deployment.

Currently, Chen Yongren has already reached the point where rewards cannot be given; we certainly cannot let a Military Statistics Bureau person be promoted to major general, otherwise the Army folks would find out and cause an uproar.

So the Chongqing side merely gave him verbal praise, symbolically awarding a medal and a bonus.

As for the most important military merit rewards, they will be conferred after the war ends.

Chen Yongren also took the opportunity to propose his plan to blast the Japanese army club tonight.

Because they still owed Chen Yongren several military merits, after a simple meeting they agreed to his combat request.

After learning that the Japanese were planning another attack on Chongqing,

The National Government also sped up the repair plan for Le Xi Road, hoping to complete it before Operation No. 5.

At the same time, the Chongqing Military Committee also conducted war preparations in the rear, strengthening the Eighth War Zone's Yellow River river defenses and Southern Shaanxi, as well as the Fifth War Zone's defenses east of Wudang Mountain, to control the key entry points into Shu and Shaanxi.

The Sixth War Zone was also required to strengthen the defense of the Yangtze River and key points on its north and south banks, in order to guard the gateway to eastern Sichuan.

……

Chen Yongren's side, however, was simple and direct, preparing 20 catties of TNT.

Subsequently, they made some minor modifications, adding some iron filings, steel balls, and similar small items inside the TNT.

To ensure effectiveness and sufficient blast time, Chen Yongren made it into a time bomb.

A 20-catty bomb will guarantee that this pack of bastards gets a full meal before hitting the road.
