My people are all around you. The man in front of Li Hongchong said lightly.

"What, your people are right next to us?"

The middle-aged man at the head was a little surprised, and he cautiously looked around, but still didn't find anyone else except their people.

Li Hong put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.

As soon as the whistle fell, suddenly, a group of sturdy soldiers came out of the darkness like devils.

The middle-aged man glanced around at the soldiers around him, and his expression was even more shocked, and there was a group of soldiers hiding next to him, who, as secret agents, did not even notice it in the slightest.

Each soldier had oil paint on his face, and the middle-aged man couldn't see his face clearly, this group of strange soldiers who were elusive and strange really looked like ghosts out of hell.

"Fortunately, you are your own people, otherwise ......"

The middle-aged man's heart was suffocated, and he was a little afraid when he thought about it, if the enemy's strength was so terrifying, their special agent team would probably be wiped out at this time.

The middle-aged man was afraid of returning, but he trusted the identity of Li Hong and others even more.

The group of elusive soldiers in front of them, if they were really enemies, would have killed all of their secret service team long ago.

The middle-aged man let down his guard and introduced his identity: "Hello, I am Hou Qingping, the leader of the Nanjing underground action group. ”

"Hello Team Leader Hou, I'm the Task Force Commander, Li Hong." Li Hong shook hands with the other party, and then introduced the soldiers next to him: "These soldiers are all my subordinates. ”

"Li Hong? Are you Li Hong, the head of the security regiment?! ”

Hou Qingping asked Li Hong in shock, and the rest of the agents were also very shocked when they heard Li Hong's name.

The name of Li Hong of the security regiment, the agents are naturally thunderous.

Li Hong didn't explain much, and said calmly: "Team Leader Hou, this is the Japanese army's activity area, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. ”

"That's right, this isn't the place to talk, let's get out of here quickly."

Afterwards, Li Hong and the others followed Hou Qingping out of the woods and rushed to a nearby underground hiding place.

They walked to the outskirts of the city, where the soldiers and operatives were cautious and watchful as they went.

Ten minutes later.

Li Hong, led by Hou Qingping, came to a secluded mass grave on the outskirts of the city.

Hou Qingping walked in front of an unnamed tombstone, he squatted next to the tombstone, tinkered a few times, and forcefully moved a bluestone slab.

"Sir Li, alright, let's go down."

Hou Qingping carried a lantern and was the first to drill down the entrance of the tomb.

Li Hong followed him and walked down the tomb road, and soon reached the bottom of the tomb.

There was no tomb at all, but a spacious basement, and the tomb above it was just a cover for it.

Two agents were left on guard on the ground, and the rest descended into the basement.

Li Wei quickly glanced at the basement, not only was food stored underneath, but there was also an ammunition depot not far away, guns and ammunition, and all kinds of explosives.

"Sir Li, let's sit down and talk."

Li Wei sat down, made a long story short, and asked directly: "Team Leader Hou, where are the members of the press corps being held by the Japanese army now?" ”

Hou Qing replied slowly: "Chief Li, the members of the press corps are now being held in a building 20 kilometers away from the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, and the building is guarded by Japanese soldiers day and night, and the security is very tight. ”

Originally, the reporters were held in a prisoner of war prison in the city, but the Japanese army was worried that the reporters would be rescued by the agents, so they moved the place of detention.

Li Hong then asked, "How many devil guards are there in the building?" ”

"Chief Li, I personally led people to reconnoiter before, and the number of Japanese soldiers in custody is about a squadron."

Knowing these circumstances, Li Hong summoned the commando soldiers to him.

Everyone gathered around the map, discussing the rescue plan and the evacuation route.

In this rescue operation, the retreat route is the most critical, regardless of whether the rescue mission is successful or not, they must make a safe retreat route.

There was no perfect evacuation route, and even if Li Hong and the others rescued the reporters, no one would be able to leave the enemy-occupied area alive.

……

At eleven o'clock in the evening, in the city of Nanjing, the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army.

In the conference room of the Japanese headquarters, more than a dozen high-ranking officers and generals of the Japanese army were discussing the matter of the press corps.

The reporter's incident really annoyed the Japanese commander Shunroku Hata and a group of Japanese generals.

The secret detention of the press corps is not trivial, and there are people from all over the world among the reporters, and if the matter is revealed, Shunroku Hata, as the commander, will definitely not end well.

War correspondents are in the hands of the Japanese army, it is a time bomb, and Shun Hata held this meeting at night to quickly discuss a solution with others.

Shunroku Hata sat at the conference table, looking a little sad.

He glanced at the devil's subordinates on both sides of the conference table, and said: "Everyone, the people who have been detaining the press corps have never been a solution, paper can't contain the fire after all, whether we let these reporters go, or continue to detain them, you all have your opinions, right?" ”

The chief of staff of the Japanese army was the first to speak: "Your Excellency Commander, these foreign journalists are indeed a thorny problem in our hands, and now the international community has been staring at our Imperial Japanese Army, anyway, the evidence filmed by these reporters has been destroyed, and it doesn't matter if you let them go." ”

Deputy Chief of Staff Kawada Akiyama stood up and said disapprovingly: "Your Excellency Commander, Commander-in-Chief, we categorically cannot release the press corps, even if they do not have evidence that we used poison gas bombs in the massacre, but the reporters will still expose us, and we should execute those damned journalists......"

It is difficult for Shunroku Hata to make a choice, and what the two subordinates say has its own truth.

Shunroku Hata also wanted to do nothing and execute the members of the press corps, but this cold-blooded old devil was a little worried and hesitant in his heart.

These war correspondents are not ordinary people, and if Shunroku Hata orders the execution of reporters without authorization, the outside world will know about the East Window incident in the future, and he, the commander, will be on the gallows.

Shunroku Hata knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would lead to burning, so he could only think about it carefully.

The devil officers and generals in the conference room discussed and discussed in private, and the devil generals had different opinions, some proposed the execution of the journalists, some proposed the release of the journalists, and some suggested that the journalists should be continued to be detained.

The devil officers and generals in the conference room discussed for more than ten minutes.

Suddenly, a big Zuo stood up and said coldly: "Your Excellency Commander, I agree with the suggestion of Deputy Chief of Staff Kawada, execute the press corps, kill people and kill people, only the dead can keep secrets." ”

This evil-minded devil Osa is the head of the Central China Dispatch Army's secret service, Shunji Ikeda.
