...
Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Lin arrived at "Huaihua Ren".
At this moment, Qiao Shaowen rushed over.
"Just now, a lieutenant from the artillery brigade entered 'Huaihua Ren'. As soon as he entered, 'Huaihua Ren' locked the door."
Zhou Lin said, "He's here to deliver intelligence, probably about the safety of the artillery brigade. We must stop them from transmitting the report."
The sergeant of the guard pleaded, "Sir, let me lead the team in."
Zhou Lin nodded and asked Qiao Shaowen, "Where's the entrance to the basement?"
"In the storage room. Because the antenna is pulled from there."
Zhou Lin ordered, "Guard platoon, break in through the front door. Rush directly to the storage room. Make sure to eliminate anyone in the way. If you can't get into the basement, throw grenades and level it."
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Lin ordered again, "Team Twenty-Two, rush in from the back door. If met with resistance, eliminate on the spot. Target is also the basement."
"Yes, sir!"
The two teams split up and headed to the front and back doors, starting their operations.
After Tang Qinwei was pushed off the car by Xiao Nian, and the pursuing car left, he ran towards the town.
Years of life had made him physically fit. He ran for more than twenty minutes and heard an explosion.
It was the sound of explosives. Tang Qinwei knew that Xiao Nian had detonated himself.
Earlier in the car, Xiao Nian showed Tang Qinwei the explosives package.
Xiao Nian said, "I won't let them catch us. I will detonate myself."
Ten minutes later, Tang Qinwei finally ran into the town.
The town was familiar to him. It was the shop owned by Huaihua Ren. He had been there just two days ago, buying things.
Knowing the location, Tang Qinwei arrived at Huaihua Ren and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a man in his thirties came out.
"Who are you looking for?"
Tang Qinwei took out a ring and handed it to the man.
After seeing it, the man's face changed drastically. He immediately invited Tang Qinwei in.
Tang Qinwei didn't sit down. He said, "Xiao Nian detonated himself. Before he died, he gave me this ring and this notebook to give to you. I am Grass Dog."
The man in his thirties was Gu Shang.
He took the small notebook and opened it to read. His face changed immediately.
"Do you have anyone following you?"
Tang Qinwei said, "Not sure. Probably the entire artillery brigade is after both of us. Let's escape quickly."
Gu Shang shook his head, "Can't escape. Since the entire artillery brigade is searching for us, every intersection is guarded. We can't fly away."
"What should we do then?"
"First, transmit the intelligence."
After saying that, Gu Shang called three shop assistants. He ordered them to prepare firearms and ammunition for battle.
Three people, one guarding the front door, one guarding the back door. Two people guarding the entrance to the basement. One team member plus Tang Qinwei.
Tang Qinwei also knew that there was no turning back for him. He picked up a shotgun and, along with another person, guarded both sides of the entrance.
After entering the basement, Gu Shang turned on the radio. Due to the need to install the antenna temporarily and preheat it, it took five minutes.
During these five minutes, Gu Shang looked at the notebook, found the most important part, and jotted it down.
And drafted the telegram.
Just then, the door was kicked open.
The guard at the main door, a Japanese special forces, opened fire, injuring a guard.
The platoon leader of the guards fired back and killed him.
At the same time the front door was kicked open, the back door was also kicked open.
The person guarding the back door didn't react immediately. When he realized someone had broken in, he tried to shoot the intruder.
But Qiao Shaowen's gun went off, killing him. The incoming team members rushed towards the store.
At this moment, Tang Qinwei, guarding the entrance to the basement, had just said, "Platoon Leader Li, I am Tang Qin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Platoon Leader Li killed him.
Another Japanese special forces wounded a guard, then was killed.
Qiao Shaowen rushed over and saw Platoon Leader Li about to go down. He shouted, "Throw a grenade."
Platoon Leader Li reacted. They didn't know how many people were in the basement. It was very risky to go down. Plus, the Japanese special forces might have time to transmit the telegram.
Qiao Shaowen rushed over, pulled the pin on the grenade, and threw it down.
A few seconds later, there was an explosion in the basement.
Gu Shang had just finished writing the telegram when he heard gunshots. He was stunned; they came too quickly.
After regaining his senses, Gu Shang immediately went to the transmitter.
If the two people at the entrance could hold on a little longer, the telegram could be sent out.
Even if those two couldn't hold on, the basement was deep, and the National Army wouldn't dare to jump down. Because jumping down would be suicide.
Gu Shang believed he could still send out the telegram.
However, as Gu Shang approached the transmitter, something was thrown down.
It was emitting smoke.
Gu Shang knew exactly what it was.
"No..."
After the shout came the explosion.
After that, there was no movement in the basement.
Qiao Shaowen jumped down. The platoon leader of the guards also jumped down.
Zhou Lin was blocked in the backyard by someone arranged by Qiao Shaowen.
For the safety of Dasha, Qiao Shaowen ordered not to let Dasha go to the front yard.
When Zhou Lin rushed to the front yard and saw Qiao Shaowen and the platoon leader of the guards were gone, his heart sank.
At this moment, someone in the basement shouted, asking the people above to throw down a flashlight.
Zhou Lin heard Qiao Shaowen's voice. He asked the people from the guard platoon and learned
that the platoon leader of the guards was also down there.
After a while, Qiao Shaowen climbed out.
He held a codebook and a telegram paper in his hand.
Both were damaged, but some content could still be seen.
The telegram wrote, "The coordinates of the Chinese artillery brigade are... The rest is destroyed."
Qiao Shaowen reported, "There is a transmitter downstairs, it was blown up. And there is a corpse full of holes. He was in his thirties, should be Gu Shang. There's nothing much else."
Gu Shang died before transmitting the report? It seems this person no longer considers himself Chinese.
Zhou Lin looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed.
So many skills, yet they couldn't be obtained.
Anyone who wasn't killed directly by Zhou Lin or indirectly wouldn't be rewarded with skills. And couldn't reverse four days.
