Black Flag Army

Chapter 193: Secret Battle in Kulun City

In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth, giving people a fresh and bright feeling. At this moment, the clock points to eight o'clock in the morning. Bai Yulian is wearing a brand new yellow officer uniform, looking particularly heroic. She walks towards the headquarters of the Japanese Tianjin Garrison Army with firm and confident steps.

The two Japanese sentinels at the door had sharp eyes. They noticed the second lieutenant shoulder straps on Bai Yulian's body and immediately straightened their bodies and saluted her. Then, they politely asked Bai Yulian to show her relevant documents to confirm her identity and authority.

Bai Yulian calmly took out the certificate issued by the chief of telecommunications from her pocket and handed it to the sentry. After the sentry took the certificate, he carefully checked every detail. After confirming that it was correct, they showed awe on their faces, quickly returned the certificate to Bai Yulian, bowed again to show respect, and invited her to enter the headquarters.

Bai Yulian smiled and nodded in response to the sentry's greeting, then stepped into this mysterious and majestic military institution. She knew in her heart that this mission was of great significance to her, but she was not afraid and was determined to complete her mission. As she stepped forward, she began to meet new challenges and unknown adventures.

Bai Yulian stepped into the office of the Telecommunications Department's Translation Team and walked to her seat. Before she sat down, a cup of steaming hot tea was already placed on the table in front of her. She was now the leader of the Telecommunications Department's Translation Team, Xiaolu Xuezi, but she knew in her heart that this identity was only part of her undercover mission.

The other members of the translation team stared at her with jealous eyes. They thought that this newcomer could rise to the position of second lieutenant team leader in one step, and there must be support and care from senior figures behind her. However, only Bai Yulian knew the truth. In order to successfully infiltrate the Japanese garrison headquarters, she silently endured countless humiliations and hardships.

During these days, Bai Yulian had to give up her true identity and play a strange role. She was always alert and carefully dealt with the enemy, not daring to reveal any flaws. Every move required careful consideration, and the slightest mistake could lead to an irreversible situation.

But Bai Yulian was not defeated by the difficulties. She was clear about her mission and responsibility. She wanted to obtain important intelligence for the Justice Party and uncover the conspiracy of the Japanese invaders. Despite the doubts and jealousy of everyone, she still moved forward firmly, believing that her efforts would eventually bear fruit.

Behind this seemingly glamorous position, there are endless pressures and dangers. But Bai Yulian is not afraid. She will continue to lurk as Xiaolu Xuezi and contribute her own strength to the anti-Japanese cause.

Ten days ago, a notice was posted on the outer wall of the Tianjin Garrison Army Headquarters, stating that only one female telegraph operator was recruited. Once the news spread, more than a hundred young women signed up, including Bai Yulian. She was not completely sure in her heart, but still signed up with hope.

The person in charge of the recruitment exam was the chief of the telecommunications department, Sakuragi Ikumichi, and the deputy chief, Kono Daisuke. During the intense examination, Bai Yulian demonstrated excellent Japanese speaking skills, skilled sending and receiving skills, and superb telegraph translation skills. Despite this, her total score ranked third. However, surprisingly, the first two applicants were not as good-looking as Bai Yulian.

When Sakuragi Ikumichi interviewed Bai Yulian alone, he touched her in the name of a physical examination. Faced with this obscene and shameless behavior, Bai Yulian had no intention of resisting, allowing the pervert Sakuragi Ikumichi to take advantage of her. Seeing this, Sakuragi Ikumichi and Kono Nobita privately hinted to Bai Yulian that if she was willing to accept the so-called "hidden rules", they could make an exception and hire her. After all, Bai Yulian had been in a brothel for several years, so she naturally knew about this kind of thing, and agreed without any disgust.

That night, Bai Yulian accompanied two section chiefs, Sakuragi Ikumichi and Kono Daisuke, to the hotel for a drink. After getting Bai Yulian drunk, they took her to the hotel and abused her all night. The next morning, Bai Yulian sobered up and promised that after becoming a telegraph operator, she would continue to be their mistress and let them play with her body at will. The two pervert section chiefs were very satisfied with Bai Yulian's performance. They found an excuse to remove the current telegraph team leader and let Bai Yulian directly become the second lieutenant telegraph team leader. According to the headquarters regulations, non-Japanese people were not allowed to serve as team leaders. Sakuragi Ikumichi got Bai Yulian a Japanese ID card, Xiaolu Xuezi. This ID card is real, but the photo was replaced with Bai Yulian's. The original Xiaolu Xuezi was a Japanese immigrant. After arriving in Tianjin, she died of illness due to acclimatization.

Intelligence Director Tian Mengxue was beaming with joy. She held the first telegram sent by the Tianjin Intelligence Group tightly in her hand. She walked into Di Xiong's office carefully as if she was holding an extremely precious gem, and excitedly announced the good news to him: "Di Juzi! This is great news! Bai Yulian successfully infiltrated the Japanese Garrison Headquarters in Tianjin and joined the extremely critical Telecommunications Department's translation team! This is the first intelligence she sent!"

When Di Xiong heard the news, he was filled with indescribable joy, but his face remained calm and composed. He knew that Bai Yulian must have gone through countless hardships and difficulties to obtain this important position. So, he asked softly: "Bai Yulian must have made great efforts to get this key position. So, what is the specific content of this intelligence?"

Tian Mengxue said in a serious tone: "According to the intelligence, the secret service department of the Japanese garrison headquarters is secretly plotting. They issued a command to Iijima Cai of the Eastern Mongolian Intelligence Station, attempting to incite the Mongolian nobles to launch a rebellion. All this is because Xu Shuzheng transferred three powerful Beiyang border defense divisions back to Beijing in order to participate in the Zhi-An War, leaving only the Zhe Qixiang Cavalry Brigade and the Gao Zaitian Artillery Regiment to guard. However, the Mongolian army controlled by the Mongolian nobles has more than 30,000 troops. Not only that, Iijima Cai was also ordered to contact the Russian bandit Semenov's troops who fled to the Eastern Mongolia region."

Di Xiong said with a firm look, "This is a crucial piece of information! We must not delay the action plan against Kulun any longer. We must launch the action in advance! Tonight, our action team will take a plane to attack quickly! At the same time, the intelligence station in charge of Sun Xiaotie must also fully cooperate with this operation. First of all, concentrate your efforts on destroying the key target of Baiying Restaurant, and capture Iijima Cai and his gang alive! Then, we can slowly interrogate these guys, follow the clues, and pull out other remaining rebels!" There was a decisiveness and determination in his voice, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

On the evening of January 8, 1920, Leng Hanbing personally led a squadron of the Cheetah Column to fly into the outskirts of Kulun City. With the help of Sun Xiaotie, Gao Dachui and others, they entered the city through a special tunnel. Kulun City was particularly quiet at night, and the cold wind whistled through the streets. Leng Hanbing led the team members to quietly approach the Baiying Restaurant. They were wearing black combat uniforms and blended into the night like ghosts.

At this time, at the Hakuzakura Restaurant, the headquarters of the Japanese Kulun Intelligence Station, the leaders under Iijima were ordered to come for a meeting. Iijima was paying homage to the portrait of Ono Ryunosuke in the room. After the worship, she came out of the room and met with the leaders in the hall. She issued the orders from the Tianjin Secret Service and discussed how to complete the task.

Of course, Iijima Nana didn't know that this plan had been leaked by Bai Yulian.

The Cheetah Column finally reached the target location! Leng Hanbing's eyes were as sharp as a hawk. He quickly made a gesture, signaling the team members behind him to split into two groups. One group of team members lurked towards the front door silently like ghosts. They were agile and quick; the other group of team members quietly detoured to the rear of the enemy, forming a perfect encirclement.

Leng Hanbing led the charge, rushing forward like a burning meteor. He held the powerful machine gun tightly in his hand, and the muzzle spewed out hot flames, as if to tear the whole world apart. Every bullet was whistled at the enemy with endless killing intent and determination.

The Japanese agents inside panicked. Some tried to organize resistance, but their actions seemed chaotic and disorderly. Others fled everywhere, trying to find a hiding place or a chance to escape. However, the members of the Cheetah Column were well-trained and coordinated. They acted quickly and used their superb tactical skills and powerful firepower to trap the enemy in a small space.

In the fierce exchange of fire, the scene was extremely hot, with bullets flying and flames splashing. A group of agents including Iijima Cai refused to surrender and were decisively shot dead by the members of the Cheetah Column. The death of these agents made other agents realize that resistance was meaningless, so they laid down their weapons and chose to surrender. After the battle, Leng Hanbing began to search the scene carefully, not missing any details. He knew that there might be important clues about the Japanese spy agency hidden here. If these clues could be found, it would play a vital role in national reunification.

After some searching, Leng Hanbing found some documents and communication equipment, which may reveal the conspiracy and plan of the Japanese secret service. At the same time, Bai Yulian's timely intelligence also contributed greatly. It was her accurate report that enabled the Cheetah Column to prepare in advance and give the enemy a fatal blow at a critical moment. The success of this operation was not only due to the heroic fighting of the Cheetah Column, but also inseparable from Bai Yulian's wit and courage. Thanks to her efforts, the long-planned rebellion plan of the Japanese in Eastern Meng finally failed. This victory not only hit the arrogance of the Japanese secret service, but also made a huge contribution to the stability and security of the country.

At the same time, Sun Xiaotie's intelligence station also launched an operation, collecting intelligence everywhere and tracking other possible Japanese agents. A thrilling spy war kicked off...

On the second morning, before the sun shone brightly on the earth, a man ran up to the Mongolian commander Wu Tai in a panic and said in a terrified tone, "Sir! It's bad! Last night, a fierce battle took place near the Baiying Restaurant in the west of the city! Many Japanese died on the spot!"

When Wu Tai heard this, his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "What kind of ignorant gang dared to be so bold and reckless? How dare they kill Japanese people! If the Japanese blame me, wouldn't I become a scapegoat?"

Standing next to Wu Tai was the person who came to report the news. This person was Wu Tai's trusted guard. Beads of sweat hung on his forehead, and he replied in a trembling voice: "My Lord, I just got the news from the West City Police Station, but I don't know who did it."

Wu Tai frowned, his eyes wide open, and shouted at the guard, "Idiot! What are you still standing there for? Summon Jimuse, the chief of the West City Police Department, to me immediately. I will definitely question him!"

Half an hour later, Jimuse, the chief of the Chengxi Police Department, came in a hurry. When Wu Tai saw him, he asked, "Someone attacked the Baiying Restaurant last night. Who did it? What are the casualties on the Japanese side?"

Without waiting for Jimuse to answer, Wutai frowned and asked in a serious tone: "Have you investigated who did it? These damn guys actually dared to run wild in our territory!"

Jimuse sighed deeply, a trace of worry and helplessness on his face, and lowered his voice and said: "It's too tragic, this incident is really tragic! Dozens of Japanese suffered misfortune and were all killed. Even the beautiful proprietress Iijima was not spared and was killed. Moreover, the few Japanese who survived were also abducted and their whereabouts are still unknown. The murderer acted extremely quickly and his methods were extremely fierce and vicious. This is definitely not something that ordinary gangs can do. I suspect that this is most likely done by the gang in the west."

At this point, Jimuse's eyes flashed with fear. The so-called "people from the west" actually refers to the Black Flag Army that frightened the Mongols in the eastern part of Mongolia. Nowadays, even the three words "Black Flag Army" have become taboos. People dare not mention them easily. They are really scared of them.

When Wu Tai heard this, he was stunned. His eyes widened and his mouth opened as if he was struck by lightning. After a long while, he came back to his senses and muttered to himself: "What is going on? Did the Japanese really offend them, so they suffered such a fate? But...but even so, they should have said hello to us first, right? After all, Mengdong Province, like Beihai Province, is a local government under the Beiyang Government! How could they break into our territory so casually and kill so many people? This is simply a contempt and insult to us!"

Jimuse frowned, sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "Alas, although we are both local governments under the jurisdiction of Beiyang, the gap in strength between us is too big. They have hundreds of planes, but we have none. In this case, they naturally don't take us seriously. What can we use to compete with them?"
