Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 243 Infiltration Operation

Just as the Independent Brigade was recuperating and rebuilding its strength according to Tang Weiguo's plan, an eight-man Japanese squad secretly infiltrated the Wolong Mountain area under the cover of night.

The team leader was none other than Sakai Taiji, who was in charge of intelligence work in Wolongshan County.

At this moment, he was cautiously speaking to a young woman beside him.

"Miss Kawashima, we'll be at the outpost soon."

"Sakai-kun, is this intelligence point you set up safe? Don't let the enemy discover it."

"Based on what I've learned these past few days, the enemy has very strong counter-espionage capabilities; they are truly a formidable opponent," Kawashima Matsuko said with some skepticism.

"Miss Kawashima, please rest assured, this is an intelligence point that I set up as soon as I arrived in Wolongshan County, and I have never used it."

"Furthermore, this place has already been tested by the enemy multiple times, so it's absolutely safe. And another very important thing is that the head of the intelligence point has joined the village's militia," Sakai Taiji assured him confidently.

"Hmm, very good, it seems there are no problems. However, we must proceed with caution; our mission cannot afford to fail this time," Kawashima Matsuko said with a stern face.

"Yes, sir." Sakai Taiji nodded immediately.

After saying that, Sakai led Kawashima Matsuko toward the intelligence point.

Sakai set up an intelligence station in Qinjiazhuang, two miles outside Tangjia Town. The house was located by the main road at the entrance of the village, and the road in front of the house was the only way to go from Tangjia Town to Wolong Mountain. This location was perfect for them to check the militia's intelligence.

After walking for another 10 minutes, Sakai Taiji arrived at a house with gray tiles and a courtyard at the entrance of the village.

There are two trees planted in front of this house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree.

After checking that no one was around, Sakai Taiji approached the door and knocked on it.

"Thump—, thump—, thump."

"Boom, boom, boom"

The knocking was very rhythmic: three slow knocks followed by three quick knocks.

After knocking on the door, Sakai Taiji saw through the crack in the door that the lights in the house suddenly turned on, and then he saw a figure walk out of the house.

"squeak"

The previously tightly closed door was opened a crack, and one could hear people inside speaking softly.

"Who are you looking for so late?"

"I heard you sell flowers here," Sakai Taiji suddenly said.

"Yes, I don't know what kind of flowers you want to buy?" the person inside the room suddenly paused and said.

“I want to buy a flower from my hometown,” Sakai Taiji continued in his reply.

"What kind of flower is the flower of my hometown?"

“The cherry blossoms in my hometown should be blooming by now,” Sakai Taiji added.

"We're all on the same side, come in quickly." With that, the people inside quickly opened the door and invited the eight people at the door to come in.

Upon entering the house, a middle-aged woman was waiting at the door. Seeing everyone come in, she pushed open a wooden cabinet on the right, revealing a dark tunnel entrance underneath.

"Old woman, you stay outside and keep watch. I'll take everyone down first." With that, the middle-aged man carried the lamp oil and went downstairs.

Sakai Taiji and the others looked at each other and followed him down.

After everyone left, the middle-aged man's wife moved the cabinet back to its original position.

He extinguished the oil lamp on the table and sat on the edge of the bed, carefully listening to the sounds outside.

The underground space is large enough to accommodate Sakai Taiji and his entourage.

"Miss Rose's intelligence agent is named Qin Shou, codenamed Pangolin, and is in charge of the intelligence point."

To keep Kawashima Matsuko's information a secret, Sakai Taiji referred to her by her code name, Rose, in front of others.

"Hmm." Kawashima Matsuko nodded to the middle-aged man in front of her.

"Qin Shou, first give Miss Rose a briefing on the situation," Sakai Taichi ordered.

"Hay."
