Toshio Kuno stood in front of the office window on the third floor of the shipping company, looking at the Japanese puppet army guarding the dock in full armor, and was very satisfied with the inspection of the personnel coming and going to the dock with high vigilance.

He was also very confident in the Japanese puppet spies who boarded the passenger ship to inspect them, and as long as Lei Yunfeng and the others took this liner and found that the docks were armed with loaded guns, they would never easily blend in with the passengers who disembarked and escaped.

At this time, the Japanese puppet spies who had already boarded the ship were like hungry wolves who carried out savage and insulting inspections on the passengers who disembarked from the ship, and after more than two hours of careful inspection, they did not catch Lei Yunfeng and the people around him from among the passengers on this liner.

The Wuhan Japanese military police team, which led the Japanese puppet spies to carry out the search mission, Matsushita Shotaro, the head of the special high section, failed to capture Lei Yunfeng, and not only ordered the Japanese puppet spies to search every corner of the Box passenger liner thoroughly, but in the end they still found nothing.

With a decadent expression, the head of the Matsushita section ordered that all the arrested suspects be brought back to the special high school for interrogation, and as long as they can provide clues and be rewarded for brutal interrogation methods against those die-hards, useful information must be pulled out of their mouths.

After listening to Matsushita Daisa's report, General Toshio Kuno not only frowned and asked: "Matsushita-kun, you and our agents have indeed conducted a very careful search and screening of all the passengers on the Bokes passenger liner?" ”

"Report to the general, I dare to guarantee that after a strict search and screening, Lei Yunfeng and the others will never take this passenger ferry."

"Isn't there even a clue? Have you scrutinized the new captain of the passenger liner Boux, and all the staff of this liner? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency General, I led the agents to board the passenger ship, and when I found the captain and the telegraph operator, they were beaten unconscious and tied up and stuffed in the cabin, and after interrogation, they confessed that they were suddenly attacked by a group of unknown gangsters, and they were beaten unconscious and tied up, but they did not know the identity of the gangsters who attacked them."

General Toshio Kuno was very interested in this clue, not only staring at Matsushita Shotaro with a pair of eagle-like eyes, but also said again: "This is a very important clue.

I suspect that it was Lei Yunfeng and others who found that the wharf had been surrounded by our Imperial Japanese Army when the passenger ship was about to dock, and they must have been afraid that the captain and they would leak the news, so they resolutely took the step of beating them unconscious and tying up the captain and telegraph operator who had been in contact with them, and risked jumping off ship and escaping before the passenger ship docked. ”

"Your Excellency, I also analyzed it this way, so I woke up the captain and the telegraph operator and others, and brought them to the first floor here, ready for further interrogation."

Kuno Toshio frowned and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly ordered Matsushita: "Matsushita-kun, order the military police in charge of the guard of the wharf to immediately search the waters near the wharf, and order the river defense guard to strictly review all ships of all sizes passing through the Wuhan wharf, and your special high school is on standby at any time." ”

The Japanese military police and the Jiangfang guards, who received the order, were like mad dogs released from their cages, and carried out the most rigorous search of the Wuhan wharf and the waters near the wharf.

Just under the white terror of the Japanese puppet army on the docks and waters of Wuhan, who launched a crazy manhunt, they suddenly faintly heard gunshots from the downstream that seemed to be mixed.

When General Toshio Kuno heard the faint sound of gunshots, an ominous premonition immediately disturbed him, and before he could ask the staff around him, Matsushita Shotaro Osaku rushed into the office on the third floor, and he didn't have time to report:

"Report to the general, I have received a report from the Shilipu Imperial Army checkpoint in the northern suburbs of Wuhan: Near the bank of the Huokouya River, 2,500 meters downstream from the checkpoint, one of our temporary checkpoints was attacked by unknown armed forces, and all eight warriors of the Imperial Army were killed.

"What? There was a fierce shootout in the lower reaches of Shilipu, and all eight imperial warriors at my temporary checkpoint were killed? Aren't there garrisoned units of our army around? Why are there no reinforcements? Bastard. ”

General Toshio Kuno looked at Matsushita Osa with great fire and asked again: "Matsushita-kun, you won't say that the shootout that took place in Shilipu is the Lei Yunfeng and others we want to hunt down, right?" ”

"Your Excellency General, I have this suspicion, since the captain and the telegraph operator were knocked unconscious and tied up on the passenger ship Bokes, and the thugs who carried out this behavior were not captured during the boarding of my agents, this means that the group of thugs who appeared on the ship must be Lei Yunfeng and them."

Matsushita Shotaro saw that Toshio Kuno frowned and listened to him seriously, and then said: "This group of militants found that the dock was surrounded by the gendarmerie of our Imperial Japanese Army, and they jumped ship and fled in a hurry. ”

Kuno Toshio had long realized this, and immediately grabbed the phone to get through, and said in a nervous tone: "Commander Yamada, I am Kuno Toshio, and I ask you to order the troops of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed in the northern suburbs of Wuhan to immediately block all waterways and dry roads within a radius of 50 kilometers in the northern suburbs of Wuhan, and make every effort to arrest Lei Yunfeng and others of the special operations team of the Military Intelligence Bureau." ”

Major General Yamada, director of the Wuhan Garrison Command, issued an urgent order to all the troops stationed in the northern suburbs of Wuhan within a radius of 50 kilometers to block the intersection and arrest the 'praying mantis' operation team at Leiyun Peak.

Toshio Kuno rushed out of the shipping company building with a special high school class, and rushed to the northern suburbs of Wuhan in a car.

After arriving at Shilipu, General Toshio Kuno jumped out of the car and walked quickly into the checkpoint, and the second lieutenant Japanese officer who was answering the phone in the office saw General Kuno with the rank of major general walking in, so frightened that he quickly put down the phone, lowered his hand, and shouted in fear: "Report to Your Excellency General, Second Lieutenant Sato at the Shilipu checkpoint reports to you." ”

"Second Lieutenant Sato, did you spot any suspicious people from the Shilipu checkpoint? Did you send reinforcements in the shootout that took place at the Gap Bank downstream? ”

"Report to Your Excellency General, your subordinates have not received orders from the upper peak, and they dare not leave the sentry post without authorization, and ask the commander for instructions."

Kuno Toshio frowned and looked at Second Lieutenant Sato, not knowing what to do with him, not only asked sternly: "You should contact Zhu Jiazao immediately, if they have found any suspicious elements there, quickly." ”

How dare Second Lieutenant Sato slack off? Grabbed the phone and asked in a nervous tone: "I am Second Lieutenant Sato at the Shilipu checkpoint, and General Kuno is at my post at this time, have you found any suspicious elements there?" ”

"Second Lieutenant Sato, I haven't found it yet, but according to the report of the chief of security I arranged in Majiazhuang upstream, a big truck of the imperial army has just driven from the direction of Huokoutan and is driving in the direction of my Zhu Jiazao, please tell the general."

When General Toshio Kuno heard that a truck was heading for Zhu Jiazao from Huokoutan, he immediately detained his phone and wanted to call the Wuhan Garrison Command.

"Commander Yamada, I found a big truck of our Imperial Army north of Huokoutan and south of Zhu Jiazao, and it was driving in the direction of Zhu Jiazao, my suspicion is that the Leiyun Peak 'Mantis' operation team is being pursued, and I would like to ask Your Excellency the General to immediately issue a pursuit order to our Imperial Japanese Army troops nearby, please."
