Chapter 509: There is a mole

Regarding this, Yu Hua offered his own conjecture!

"Brother Sun, I believe it is highly likely that the Japanese Army is carrying out a secret mission."

"Once Japanese-style weapons are used, it might expose the Japanese Army sooner!"

"From the sound of the gunfire, we can now determine that the Japanese Army is also using Hanyang Rifles and Box Cannons."

"If the secret mission they are carrying out succeeds, when we conduct an investigation, we likely won't think of the Japanese Army!"

After Yu Hua finished speaking, the Communications Soldier returned; he shouted while running: "Commander-in-Chief."

"The enemy troops ahead are the Japanese Army; they are all disguised as our men."

Yamaguchi Ichiro, who had lowered his head, had no heart to think about the Imperial Army's mission; he actually just wanted to go home and reunite with his wife and children.

At this moment, Zhou Lin led his troops and continued to close in.

Sonoda Meiling was also affected by the shockwave; the massive air current swept over and knocked her directly to the ground.

"Could these Japanese troops be playing some kind of trick?"

The two mortars of the Japanese Army on the right flank were blown up on the spot, and at the same time, a dozen or so devils were splattered with blood right there.

"Battalion Commander Sun, my mission is very arduous; I must be a bit cautious."

"Now that the mortars are destroyed, we have no heavy weapons, yet the enemy has machine guns, mortars, and submachine guns."

As a spy, Yamaguchi Ichiro could speak Chinese fluently.

"I am a spy for the Imperial Special Higher Police, my name is Yamaguchi Ichiro, I am surrendering now!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiangchu's gaze landed on Yamaguchi Ichiro, and he turned his head to say to Sun Hui: "Battalion Commander Sun."

Zhou Lin and the others, the moment they heard the gunfire, immediately lay prone to observe the situation.

The sound of violent explosions echoed on the right-flank highland.

"May I ask which unit you brothers belong to?"

"I surrender... I surrender..."

"Yamaguchi-kun, counterattack immediately!" Sonoda Meiling said in a trembling voice: "Even if we die in battle here, we must complete the mission!"

"We shall meet again!"

This small number of Japanese troops was simply no match.

Saying this, Sonoda Meiling's eyes looked toward Yamaguchi Ichiro: "Yamaguchi-kun, what is your opinion?"

Furthermore, they even sent people to sneak up from under the cliff!

Sonoda Meiying had very few people on the right-side commanding height because the terrain here occupied an advantage, as there was a cliff.

Their firepower was quickly suppressed, and Sonoda Meiling had not expected that the commander of the Republic of China Army would change formations so quickly.

"Battalion Commander Sun asked me to tell you that the small unit of the Japanese Army cannot escape; he has already ordered the encirclement of the Japanese Army."

Hearing this, Zhou Lin's brows furrowed slightly, and a Squad Leader to the side spoke up: "Platoon Leader."

"Sichuan Army?" Yang Xiangchu's brows furrowed slightly: "According to my intelligence, there are no Sichuan Army garrisons in this vicinity?"

"Yamaguchi-kun, we failed to complete the mission and have let down the Imperial Army's cultivation."

"Baka!" Sonoda Meiling yelled: "Counterattack immediately."

"I am Yang Xiangchu!"

The remaining Japanese troops began to raise their guns and fire one after another, but what was encircling from the flank was a platoon of the Republic of China Army.

After giving the order, Zhou Lin led the team in a charge.

Wang Jun also made contact with Captain Yang's group; with smoke bombs disturbing the Japanese Army's line of sight, plus the firepower cover from the left-flank highland.

Because Sun Hui had once dealt with Kang Ze's Special Service Corps in Sichuan Province alongside Yu Hua.

He raised both hands, slowly stood up, and shouted while doing so: "Don't shoot... don't shoot..."

"Baka!" Sonoda Meiling scolded angrily: "The Imperial Army's mission is greater than life!"

Sonoda Meiling took out a bomb, and after hiding it well, she was about to start shouting to feign surrender.

Yamaguchi Ichiro raised his hand and fired a shot!

"Bang!! ——"

"We are the Sichuan Army, I am Battalion Commander Sun Hui!" Sun Hui responded.

Zhou Lin had the Squad Leader stand guard, while he himself stood up and came to Yamaguchi Ichiro's side: "What was that gunfire just now?"

Having succeeded with one strike, Yamaguchi Ichiro saw that Sonoda Meiling was dead, and he immediately shouted to Zhou Lin and the others.

Seeing Yamaguchi Ichiro appear, Zhou Lin immediately signaled a soldier to go forward and inspect.

Yang Xiangchu's style was very similar to the Special Service Corps under Kang Ze.

Subsequently, Zhou Lin took Yamaguchi Ichiro to the left-flank highland.

"Can this Japanese spy be handed over to me?"

The cliff was a natural barrier, which was advantageous for Sonoda Meiling's defense, but now the Republic of China Army had snuck up from the cliff.

The two saw that their companions all around were dead, and cold light flashed in Sonoda Meiling's eyes.

Yamaguchi Ichiro staggered to his feet; he came before Sonoda Meiling, preparing to help her up.

While walking, Zhou Lin instructed everyone to be careful of the Japanese Army playing tricks.

Of the remaining Japanese troops, under Zhou Lin's firepower, only Yamaguchi Ichiro and Sonoda Meiling were still alive.

Yamaguchi Ichiro, who was hiding behind a large rock, heard this and immediately threw his pistol away.

Captain Yang led Mr. Chen and successfully entered the reverse slope of the left-side highland.

Hearing this, Yang Xiangchu felt that what Sun Hui said was reasonable, but his own mission was of great importance, so he had to be careful.

"This little devil has surrendered; he might have important intelligence on him."

"There are no Sichuan Army garrisons in this vicinity; if your Special Service Corps has a mission, then can't my Sichuan Army have a mission?"

Yamaguchi Ichiro saw his companions all around, some dead and some wounded; now only eleven or twelve men were still able to fight.

"You saved my life this time, Yang Xiangchu, and I owe you a favor."

Sun Hui saw Yang Xiangchu's attire and guessed that this person might belong to the Republic of China's secret agents.

Sun Hui saw Yang Xiangchu doubting the identities of him and his men, so he said coldly: "Captain Yang, we did save your life this time, after all."

"You can just wait to be eaten by the Japanese devils!"

At this very moment, on the left flank highland, Captain Yang met up with Sun Hui.

"Please, don't shoot!"

"Battalion Commander!"

"Miss Meiling, I want to live, I don't want to die!!"

1st Platoon Leader Zhou Lin saw the Japanese Army being surrounded, and his hanging heart was finally put at ease.

"I am prepared to perish together with the enemy troops; this is a Bomb. Later, we will pretend to surrender, and then detonate the Bomb."

Zhou Lin thought for a moment: "Everyone stay alert, I will go talk to this little Japanese devil."

"Brother Yu, you really guessed it right."

"Boom—!!"

Yamaguchi Ichiro heard this and nodded slightly, but as he nodded, a look of firm determination flashed in the corners of his eyes.

Hearing this, Sun Zhen waved his hand to dismiss the Communications Soldier, his gaze falling upon Yu Hua.

After speaking, Yang Xiangchu cupped his hands to Sun Hui, and just as he was about to leave, he happened to run into Zhou Lin bringing Yamaguchi Ichiro back.

"Miss Meiling, let's abandon the mission!"

With a gunshot, Sonoda Meiling looked at Yamaguchi Ichiro in disbelief.

On the highland, Sun Hui saw that the Japanese Army still had a 60mm Mortar, so he immediately ordered the artillerymen to counterattack.

"Machine Gunner, suppress the Japanese Army's firepower for me."

"Yamaguchi Ichiro, you first hand over your weapon, then slowly stand up and raise your hands."

And at this time, at the fork in the road, after Captain Yang tackled Mr. Chen, he waited for the shockwave to dissipate and immediately pulled Mr. Chen to run toward the left highland.

Yamaguchi Ichiro immediately explained that he did not want to die and had shot and killed the commander of this operation, Sonoda Meiling.

Just as Yamaguchi Ichiro was about to speak, gunfire came from their flank.

After checking, there were indeed no weapons on Yamaguchi Ichiro; the soldier waved to the Platoon Leader to indicate there was no problem.

This had already exceeded Sonoda Meiling's expectations.

Only a few people knew about the mission Yang Xiangchu was executing, that the special train had been ambushed by the Japanese Army.

That meant there was a traitor inside, and he prepared to use Yamaguchi Ichiro as a breakthrough point to find out who the mole was.
