Gu Yichen turned around abruptly, his fingers already off the safety of the pistol at his waist.
Eyes alert, ready to draw and fire at any moment.
Only after she could clearly see the familiar man two meters away did she slowly turn off the safety lock and let down the corner of her clothes.
He nodded slightly and said, "Deputy Captain Zhang, you arrived quickly."
Zhang Hao nodded in acknowledgment and replied with a smile, "Brother Gu's skills are still as agile as ever, I'm truly impressed!"
His attitude was warm and friendly, as casual as a friend greeting him.
The two had cooperated several times in the past six months, with Gu Yichen providing intelligence support and the action team responsible for the operation. This was the standard procedure for the Special Service Department's operations.
The deeper reason why the two can get along well like friends is their backgrounds.
In the Shanghai branch of the Special Operations Department, the action team leader was a lieutenant colonel, and the deputy team leader was a major.
Gu Yichen was just a new graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, and his military rank was only that of a warrant officer.
The difference in their levels is not small.
Without some connections, one might never be able to cross the gap between schools.
However, with Gu Yichen's background, as long as he makes a few merits, it will be a natural thing for him to be promoted in military rank.
Within ten years, the level will probably be surpassed.
Zhang Hao's ability to become the deputy captain of the action team is undoubtedly due to his abilities; the fact that Qi Zhichuan paired him with a newcomer also demonstrates his exceptional qualities.
The fact that a vice-captain could lead a team to cooperate already speaks volumes.
For such a rising star, it is only natural to seize the opportunity to become sworn brothers!
The two exchanged a glance and quickly walked to a secluded corner.
At this moment, more than a dozen team members are on high alert.
Gu Yichen took out a simple map he had drawn and said quickly, "I have already searched the area around Xingcheng Inn and found nothing unusual."
"I checked at the inn, and room 304 hasn't been checked out yet."
"If the person staying in the room is indeed a Japanese female spy, it means we still have a chance to capture her."
"However, she has received professional training, making it very difficult for her to force her way in and capture people. It may not be possible to resolve the battle in a short time."
"This is the French Concession after all; it would be troublesome if we alerted the police."
"If the Municipal Council protests to the National Government, it will cause a diplomatic incident!"
"So my suggestion is to wait and wait for her to come out before taking action."
"At that time, it will be easy to capture them alive or kill them, and we can also evacuate quickly."
"As long as there is no evidence from the French Concession, it can only be speculation."
"At the same time, Captain Zhang sent a team to guard this place."
"Shoot down any car with license plate number 2478 on sight; that would be considered expanding our gains!"
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes, quickly weighing the credibility of the plan in his mind.
Based on his experience, the plan was indeed effective and feasible.
After all, their opponents were professionally trained Japanese agents who also had guns.
If we hold the entrance, it might not be possible to break in anytime soon.
When carrying out missions in the concessions, one must be quick in and out, and never delay in leaving evidence.
Therefore, once the Japanese agent comes out of the inn and stands on the empty street, he can easily be shot dead from all directions.
The action team's contribution was even greater if they took the initiative to eliminate the Japanese agents who were providing support.
Both sides are currently engaged in assassinations and sabotage, with each group and team putting in their best effort to see who can kill the most.
Although the higher-ups did not specify the number of assassinations per month, being at the bottom of the performance rankings would certainly not end well.
Besides, killing one more Japanese spy means one more bonus and military merit for the brothers, so why not?
Zhang Hao nodded slightly, his eyes showing approval.
He couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness of this scion of a prominent family, who had even considered diplomatic aspects; his future prospects were limitless.
I might need his help in the future.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements now."
Zhang Hao, with his extensive experience in operations, immediately arranged for men to intercept the vehicle on its inevitable route.
Personnel were stationed at both the front and back doors of Xingcheng Inn. Even if they couldn't capture him alive, they could kill him and take the body back to report.
If Shen Lang's intelligence is accurate, the Special Higher Police would never have imagined that they would be ambushed in advance.
As time passed by, it soon reached noon.
Gu Yichen and Zhang Hao hid in the shadows, their eyes warily observing everyone who entered or left the inn.
Suddenly, a tall woman wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with stylish curly hair, walked out from the main entrance.
She was carrying a small black handbag, looking as casual as if she were going out for a stroll.
He walked to the roadside, glanced at his watch, and was clearly waiting for someone.
Gu Yichen narrowed his eyes, carefully comparing the physical characteristics described by the logistics section chief.
Without a photo, it would be difficult to identify someone in a crowd.
However, if a woman happens to appear at a specific time and place who perfectly matches the height and appearance, the probability is much higher.
"It's her!"
Gu Yichen gave an affirmative answer and said in a low voice, "Try to capture them alive."
The value of a living spy is different from that of a dead spy.
Unless absolutely necessary, they would prioritize capturing the enemy alive.
Zhang Hao's gaze sharpened, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He turned his head to signal, and several team members slowly approached the designated position.
At the same time, a black Buick sedan with license plate number 2478 drove up from another street.
The driver was focused on driving when two men dressed in coarse cloth suddenly appeared in front of him, startling him so much that he quickly slammed on the brakes.
His eyes were alert, and his hand rested on the pistol beside him.
Unfortunately, before he could even grip his gun, the two men blocking the road pulled out submachine guns from behind their backs.
Da da da~!
In an instant, bullets poured out as if they were free.
The driver didn't even have time to react before he was riddled with bullets.
The action team usually uses pistols to carry out assassinations in the concession, but this time Zhang Hao even brought a submachine gun, which shows how much importance he attaches to this mission.
One of the officers went up and searched the driver's body, finding an identification document before quickly leaving.
The entire process, from start to finish, takes no more than a minute!
The moment the gunshot rang out, the curly-haired woman across the street also reacted reflexively.
He put his hand in his bag and gripped the pistol he was carrying.
This action further confirms his identity.
"action!"
Zhang Hao gave the order in a deep voice, grabbed his gun, and rushed out.
Hatayoshi immediately sensed the danger and quickly took out a pistol from his bag.
He had only just raised his hand when Zhang Hao shot him in the arm.
Three team members immediately pounced on her and pinned her down, one of them roughly tearing off her collar.
Zhang Hao picked up the pistol that had fallen to the ground, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his face: "The Nambu pocket pistol used by Japanese spies, that's her. Take her!"
At the opportune moment, a black sedan that was waiting quickly pulled up to the side of the road, and everyone got in and drove away quickly.
The entire operation was carried out in perfect coordination, taking no more than three minutes. By the time passersby realized what was happening, the team had already disappeared into the vast crowd.
