The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 101: This damn Chinese agent "Ghost Assassin" is not going to stop...

When Lei Tao and others were planning to continue the hunting operation, the Japanese HX weapons production and experimental base was destroyed, and a telegram about a camp being attacked was transmitted to the division headquarters of the Japanese 10th Division led by Rensuke Isogai. Rensuke Isogai was furious: "This damn Chinese agent "Ghost Assassin" will never stop... It has seriously affected the holy war of our empire..."

Lianjie Isogai paced back and forth in the command center, roaring angrily: "Immediately strengthen the security of all military facilities! Send more patrols and set up more secret sentries!" The officers took the order and left.

At this moment, the division chief of staff stepped forward, bowing his head slightly. "Your Excellency, I propose that Kazuya Uesugi, who has studied in Germany, lead his special forces team to deal with the 'Ghost Assassin.' Kazuya Uesugi has undergone rigorous special forces training in Germany and is well versed in various tactics and reconnaissance techniques. His special forces are also highly skilled. Perhaps they can find a way to locate and eliminate this 'Ghost Assassin.'" Rensuke Isogai paused, pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Hurry and send the order; have Kazuya Uesugi act immediately."

Upon receiving the order, Kazuya Uesugi quickly gathered his special forces at their secret base. He stood before them, his expression stern and his gaze determined. "Gentlemen, this mission is to confront the 'Netherworld Assassins,' who have repeatedly disrupted the Imperial Crusade. This is a crucial directive personally issued by the Division Commander. We must succeed."

Afterward, Kazuya Uesugi began deploying his forces. He divided the task force into several small groups, one tasked with thoroughly investigating the activities of people near the location where the "Ghost Assassin" had recently appeared. No detail was overlooked, including local residents, merchants, and travelers, all of whom were to be meticulously recorded and analyzed for any relevance to the incident.

Another group focused on studying the "Ghost Assassin's" modus operandi and the weapons and equipment he used. They collected various intelligence and tried to infer the "Ghost Assassin's" identity background and possible hiding places from these clues.

Kazuya Uesugi himself led the core team and worked closely with the Japanese military's intelligence department to sort out all intelligence clues related to the "Ghost Assassin". Through cross-comparison and in-depth analysis, he tried to construct the "Ghost Assassin's" movement trajectory and activity range.

They set up secret checkpoints at various major traffic arteries and strictly checked passing people and vehicles. At the same time, they conducted secret surveillance in some suspicious areas and deployed spies in the hope of discovering the traces of the "Ghost Assassin".

Shang Shanhe was near the spot where Lei Tao was last seen, setting up a net and waiting for him to appear... but then a group of uninvited guests arrived... The Military Control Commission's special operations team also received news that Lei Tao was near Teng County, so they rushed to the area and secretly searched for him...

Du Zhiteng, captain of the Military Control Commission's special operations team, led his men and quietly sneaked through the mountains and forests near Teng County.

Du Zhiteng lowered his voice and said, "According to reliable information, Lei Tao is lurking near Teng County. This Lei Tao has caused a lot of trouble for all forces in the past. He has extraordinary means and can come and go freely in the Japanese camp. He is definitely not a simple character."

A team member asked quietly, "Captain, where should we start looking for his whereabouts? Teng County is quite large."

Du Zhiteng pondered for a moment and replied, "Lei Tao is cautious and would definitely choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with excellent concealment. I suspect he's either in a cave deep in the mountains, where he can conceal his whereabouts and protect himself from outside enemies; or in some abandoned village that can be transformed into a good hiding place."

Another team member continued, "Captain, could it be that he's hiding in a village somewhere, using the protection of the local people?"

Du Zhiteng shook his head. "It's unlikely. He launched such frequent attacks on the Japanese army that he wouldn't hide in a village to avoid harming innocent civilians. But he would definitely have spies in the village to obtain supplies and intelligence. We can first keep an eye on those villages close to the mountains and forests with relatively convenient transportation to see if there are any unusual situations."

Another team member asked, "Could it be near a river or water source? That way it would be convenient to get water."

Du Zhiteng analyzed, "That's possible, but the riverside is too open and easily exposed. If he's really there, he'll definitely have multiple camouflages and sentries. When searching, we must pay special attention to areas with obstructions and complex terrain along the river."

While communicating in low voices, everyone moved cautiously through the mountains and forests, keeping their eyes on any corner where people might be hiding, and listening carefully to the movements around them, always alert to the appearance of Lei Tao and the Japanese army.
