The Operations Division excels at arrests; all its personnel are accustomed to such operations. Once the order is given, the entire Operations Division operates like a sophisticated combat machine, with preparations completed at lightning speed. No one is allowed to leave the premises; even going to the toilet requires at least three people to accompany them. In short, no one can do anything alone, not even the five team leaders. This rule was specifically issued by Zhao Ziliang to ensure that no one leaks the operation beforehand.
The Intelligence Section produced a Yan Yichun, who has been humiliated and unable to recover. The Action Section must not follow in his footsteps!
Time passed slowly. After glancing at his watch, Zhao Ziliang finally gave the order: "Move out!"
Immediately, the entire operations team mobilized, with everyone rushing to their assigned locations as quickly as possible.
The four team leaders, who had already surveyed the terrain, knew exactly what to do. They began to allocate personnel according to the previous plan and completed the deployment in a very short time, completely surrounding the Daming Cotton Mill.
Zhao Ziliang and Xiang Yan sat in the center, while Ning Zhiheng led his action team slowly toward the east wall of the courtyard.
Ning Zhiheng did not choose to enter through the main gate, because there was bound to be a Japanese spy's observation post there. In order not to alert him, Ning Zhiheng chose to enter from another direction.
With a wave of his hand, ten of the strongest members of the team immediately formed a makeshift human ladder by leaning against the wall and bending over each other, according to their training.
Team member Sun Jiacheng was naturally the vanguard of the operation. He led six of the most capable tacticians, using ladders to scale the high courtyard wall.
The cotton mill was very large, which made the operation difficult for the action department. However, for the Japanese spies, the area to be guarded was too large to cover every aspect. They could only set up an observation post near the gate of the cotton mill.
After a short while, Sun Jiacheng finished searching the area and then notified the team to follow up.
Ning Zhiheng didn't say much, just waved his hand, then took a few steps forward, climbed the ladder over the wall, and all the people behind him began to climb over the wall and head towards the old warehouse according to the pre-set route.
Ning Zhiheng made a gesture, and Zhao Jiang led five team members to sneak towards the gate. According to the pre-arranged plan, he needed to guard the area near the gate and arrest the observation post near the gate immediately after the warehouse operation.
Sun Jiacheng then led his men to scout ahead and guide the way. He had previously specialized in this kind of work in the field army, so he was very familiar with the area. He quickly led his men through several buildings and arrived near the warehouse before stopping.
Ning Zhiheng said softly, "Sneak over there quietly, carefully search for the observation post, and make sure to find him and take care of him."
Sun Jiacheng nodded, drew his dagger, and led his six team members to carefully search every possible hiding spot.
Ning Zhiheng did not make any rash moves. All the team members hid in the corner, waiting for instructions. In the quiet night, they even deliberately controlled their breathing, without making a sound.
Ning Zhiheng nodded in satisfaction. These team members were the most outstanding soldiers of this era, and after rigorous training by the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, they could be considered an elite force.
At the same moment, at the target location, in the old warehouse of the cotton mill, the six agents of the investigation team were working busily.
Kenji Takeshita, the head of the investigation team, sorted through the thick stack of documents in his hand. Then he raised his wrist, checked the time, and said to Seihei Ohno beside him, "It's already eight o'clock in the evening. Why haven't Yamauchi and Ikeda returned yet?"
Ohno Seihei put down his pen and said with a smile, "Don't worry too much. Ikeda is a very experienced veteran agent, nothing will happen to him. It's just that the martial law and manhunts in Nanjing these past few days have caused a lot of inconvenience to our operations, so it's normal for us to be back a little late."
Team leader, I suggest we avoid going out for the next few days; there are still some risks involved.
The situation in Nanjing has been quite tense these past few days, but the Special Higher Police headquarters is pressing them hard for this investigation, and they can't afford to waste any more time.
Kenji Takeshita said somewhat irritably, "We still need to hurry. We need to speed up our investigation. We were given a month, but twenty days have passed. This city-wide manhunt has delayed our work. I don't know when the search will end."
One of the team members spoke up: "Team leader, starting this afternoon, the checkpoints on the main roads have been gradually removed. It seems they have given up the search. After all, Nanjing is such a large city that it is impossible to conduct a long search. The subsequent operation will be much easier."
"Withdrawn? Could it be that they've already captured Geng Boming? I wonder if he's one of our agents?" Takeshita Kenji was quite surprised to hear this, as he hadn't gone out today and was unaware of the news.
"I don't know. The Chinese are conducting such a large-scale search, so it must be an important figure. However, the success rate of such a large-scale search is generally not very high. I estimate that it is more likely to be fruitless."
"Besides, we can't have any contact with the Nanjing undercover team, so we have no way of knowing. But that's good, otherwise we would easily be exposed. Right now, the Nanjing undercover team is in a precarious situation, with people being arrested constantly. The situation is extremely dangerous! We still need to be careful!" Ohno Seihei said with some worry.
