Chapter 379: The Omnipresent Star II

A week later, the Princess Anne finally arrived in Singapore Harbour. The British Empire has one of the most effective intelligence organizations in the world. But as the intentions of the Japanese to move south to the Malay Peninsula became more and more apparent, the hostility of the British towards the Japanese deepened.

This time, when the Princess Anne arrived in the port of Singapore, British intelligence officers watched as Soviet intelligence officers stepped onto the passenger ship as passengers under their noses.

As a result, Soviet intelligence officers and Japanese intelligence officers, who had also come to support them on board a ship in Singapore, engaged in a firefight. In order to break through the iron door of the first-class cabin where Smirnov lived, Soviet intelligence officers used bombs to carry out blasting.

Haruo Fukuchi and Nobuichi Irimura, who were guarding the entrance inside, were killed on the spot, and Smirnov, who was hiding in the bathroom, was slightly injured.

All the Japanese intelligence officers who were still alive and rushed to support them attacked with their lives and blocked the first-class door with bullets. In the end, all Soviet intelligence officers collapsed in pools of blood. There were also only two wounded intelligence officers left among the Japanese.

After the incident, the British police rushed to the ship and carried all the dead away. Two wounded Japanese intelligence officers were also arrested by the British police and forcibly taken away from the ship. Only Smirnov, who had changed cabins and was lying alone on the bed, was left with a frightened eye.

The Princess Anne's next stop was Hong Kong, a colony of the British Empire.

"The Princess Anne must not be allowed to arrive in Hong Kong! There is credible information that quite a number of Soviet intelligence agents have arrived in Hong Kong. However, our intelligence officers were arrested by the British while secretly infiltrating Hong Kong. The ship arrived in Hong Kong, and the Soviet intelligence officers got on board and Smirnov was finished. Yanagida said in a loud voice.

"Depending on the situation, the British will not care what the Soviets do. The Plum Organ's bunch of garbage is simply unreliable. We can't rely on them, we can only rely on ourselves. Yamaoka Daowu said.

"There are our destroyers in the port of Guangzhou. However, the blatant interception of a Dutch passenger liner in the South China Sea is a serious violation of international conventions. We can't do that now. Yanagida said hesitantly.

"If you want to do it, there is a way." Oki Enichi said.

Yanagida was silent. Smirnov was too important for the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army has been planning to attack north for so many years. It has always regarded the Soviet Union as an imaginary enemy. Smirnov had information about the Soviet intelligence services in his head, and they were bound to get it.

"Make a plan and act now!" Yanagida Motozo said with a hideous face. Sometimes the Kwantung Army doesn't even pay attention to the emperor, and is afraid of any international influence!

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiaobao was happily setting off fireworks in the courtyard when he was summoned to the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army in the name of having an urgent mission.

Strangely, Kobayashi Xun was also summoned to the Intelligence Department together.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army was tense. The high-ranking officers of the Ministry of Intelligence were all present.

In front of them were ten soldiers of the Ministry of Intelligence, including Xiaobao and Kobayashi Xun.

"The mission has been given, you must complete the mission! And it is necessary to get ahead of the Chinese army. Yanagida Motozo said with a solemn face.

"Yes!" Ten people replied in unison.

Ten people came out of the conference room and came to Oki Nonichi's office. Daiki Yanichi will carry out specific operational deployments.

After the task was arranged, Da Xi Yan turned his head and said to Xiao Bao: "Xiao Baojun, you will take the lead in this operation. Snatching Smirnov at all costs is a success! ”

"Yes!" Xiao Bao replied.

Ten people were rushed by truck to the airfield on the outskirts of Harbin. A 100-type transport plane is already on standby on the runway.

This time the action is a race against time. The Princess Anne has sailed into the South China Sea and will arrive in Hong Kong in just over a day. By then it was too late.

The propellers of the plane rotated, adjusted the nose to accelerate at the runway, and then quickly pulled up at the end of the runway and disappeared into the night sky.

Xiaobao took a plane for the first time. He sat in the turbulent plane, full of trepidation.

Xiao Lin Xun was very excited, and glanced at Xiao Bao sitting on the side from time to time.

After landing at the Japanese military airfield near Zhengzhou for refueling, the transport plane took off again and headed straight for Guangzhou.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, the plane landed at Skinny Dog Ridge Airport. A military truck was already waiting there.

From Harbin at minus 20 degrees to Guangzhou at minus 20 degrees in a blink of an eye. The ten people who got off the plane all felt sweat start to break out in their padded jackets.

The truck pulled Xiaobao and the ten of them directly to Guangzhou Port.

The Japanese army occupied most of China. However, in the Japanese occupation zone, there are still large and small squadrons entrenched. In order to prevent these troops from receiving outside assistance, the Japanese imposed a blockade not only on land. A number of warships have likewise been deployed at sea for a naval blockade.

Xiaobao: The warship they rushed to the port of Guangzhou today to kick on board was the destroyer Blowing Snow, which had just arrived in Guangzhou from Fujian waters on a blockade mission.

The Japanese Navy dispatched a warship for the affairs of the Kwantung Army, which also gave the Kwantung Army a big face.

"Gentlemen, I'm Captain Yamashita Zheno. Your task is to be transported by the snow trumpet to the designated sea area. I wish you all the best. A junior officer in his forties on the deck of the destroyer Blowing Snow said.

Then it's the distribution of clothes. Each of them had a pair of shabby coarse cloth pants with half amputated legs.

"Why only pants and no clothes?" Second Lieutenant Homitsu Uejo, who came with Xiaobao, asked in confusion.

"The pirates are wearing fishermen's clothes, and their upper bodies are naked, what kind of clothes are they wearing?" Yamashita said with a smile.

"But we still have a woman here." Kamijo said embarrassedly.

Xiao Lin Xun stood aside and blushed.

"Kobayashi Xun doesn't have to step on the passenger ship, what if he encounters danger?" Xiaobao said.

Uejo nodded in agreement.

This time, there were actually eight people on the mission. Two other medical staff, Yoshihisa Tanaka and Kano Kobayashi, were accompanying medical staff.

When the eight people changed into the fishermen's clothes, Xiaobao felt that something was wrong. He pointed to his bare feet and the bodies of several other people, showing them to Kamijo Hohiro.

Several people looked at each other a few times, and they all understood in an instant.

Although military training is always carried out, the color of the skin is different from that of the weather-beaten fishermen. The difference is immediately apparent.

No matter, anyway, this time the action is to pretend to be confused. Either way, this is the case!

The destroyer Blowing Snow followed the established course towards the approaching passenger liner Princess Anne.
