AWB Chapter 378 Labor Camp
Chapter 378 Labor Camp
Around 3 a.m., Xu Jie was finally freed.
During this time, through Xu Jie's confession, Bai Xiumei and others learned about the Japanese devils' entire plan and the reason why Xu Jie betrayed the organization.
It turns out that Xu Jie had betrayed the organization for almost a year. He was reported by a spy while passing on intelligence a year ago, and was then caught red-handed by Japanese agents who got the information.
Because it was a secret arrest, the other intelligence officers at the intelligence station were unaware of it.
Xu Jie, who was captured, could not resist the temptation of money and beautiful women offered by the Japanese and ultimately chose to betray the organization and become a lackey of the Japanese.
Six months ago, he received instructions from the Japanese Special Higher Police to begin searching for and contacting the Black Tiger Stronghold, which was gradually gaining a reputation.
By using Xu Jie's identity as a member of the Red Party, they gained the trust of Black Tiger Village, then infiltrated their ranks and wiped them out in one fell swoop.
After more than six months, Xu Jie finally gained Yang Ningyu's initial trust.
For this reason, the Japanese soldiers even cooperated with Xu Jie in staging several plays.
They provided information that wasn't particularly important on several occasions.
This helps Xu Jie deepen Yang Ningyu's trust in him.
However, Yang Ningyu was particularly cautious because he had been scammed many times.
Even though Xu Jie had helped him many times, he still had some reservations. So, whenever the two needed to meet, Yang Ningyu would arrange the meeting place on the spot.
The location was different each time, which made it impossible for the Japanese spies to prepare in advance.
So even though Xu Jie, who had contact with him, was ostensibly a member of the Communist Party, he also helped Yang Ningyu provide a lot of intelligence about the Japanese.
However, the cautious Yang Ningyu still did not allow Xu Jie to enter the Black Tiger Stronghold's lair.
This made Matsushita Saburo, the Japanese commander in Chunshi, somewhat impatient, and he issued a death order to Xu Jie through the Special Higher Police.
Xu Jie needed to gain Yang Ningyu's trust within a month and obtain information about the exact location and number of people at Black Tiger Stronghold. So, he racked his brains and came up with a plan to suffer injustice.
In exchange for the intelligence station, they used the pretext of providing Yang Ningyu with a radio to facilitate intelligence transmission.
They wanted to use the excuse that their intelligence station had been destroyed by the Japanese to sneak into Black Tiger Village as a refugee.
So Xu Jie contacted his upline through the radio station to apply.
His application was relayed through several levels before finally reaching Bai Xiumei, who was in charge of all Red Party intelligence work in the northern province.
Upon receiving this news, Bai Xiumei immediately dispatched Liu Qiao to deliver a radio to Chunshi.
After all, being able to recruit a group of people who were actively resisting Japan into the organization, providing a radio station was nothing.
Upon learning that the Red Party's superiors had approved his application, Xu Jie immediately reported the matter to the Japanese.
Upon learning this news, the Japanese immediately began making preparations.
But Xu Jie didn't expect that through Liu Qiao, who delivered the radio, he would learn that a high-ranking member of the Red Party had arrived in the northern province.
This meant that when surrounded by Japanese spies, he didn't shoot Liu Qiao in the back; instead, he covered her for a moment.
They wanted the Japanese to capture Liu Qiao alive so they could extract more information about this high-ranking Red Party member from him.
So, during his breakout, he took the opportunity to get rid of Liu Qiao and report the matter to the Japanese.
After receiving Xu Jie's report, the Japanese Special Higher Police immediately launched a large-scale manhunt for Liu Qiao, but she still managed to escape.
This greatly annoyed the Japanese Special Higher Police, but they quickly devised another treacherous plan.
They returned the radio from the intelligence station that had been captured to Xu Jie, who had infiltrated Black Tiger Stronghold.
Xu Jie used the news that three intelligence agents were about to be executed by the Japanese to lure Bai Xiumei to Laichun City.
They arrested high-ranking members of the Red Party within Black Tiger Village and framed Yang Ningyu's Black Tiger Village.
To ensure the plan's success, Saburo Matsushita even borrowed an elite Japanese ninja squad from Japan to carry out the mission.
As for the three intelligence agents, Xu Jie didn't know their exact fate or whether they would be executed.
Their plan was to capture Bai Xiumei tonight through Japanese ninjas, and they wouldn't wait until tomorrow.
After reading Xu Jie's confession, Yang Ningyu broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't even imagine what kind of situation he would face if the Japanese plan had succeeded.
Fortunately for him, the Japanese plan did not succeed.
Just then, Sha Niu walked into the council hall and whispered to Bai Xiumei.
"Aunt, Uncle Zhang told me that the three intelligence agents are being held in a labor camp about 5 kilometers outside the city on the east side of Chun City."
Whether the Japanese soldiers will execute them during the day is still unclear.
Bai Xiumei immediately frowned.
"Labor camp?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhang said that the Japanese captured him in order to quickly exploit the mineral resources of Xiongguo."
Yang Ningyu, who was standing to the side, chimed in.
“I know where that is. That’s our target for the past few days, and many of my brothers’ families and relatives have been captured by the Japanese and taken there. We are definitely going to fight there.”
Upon hearing Yang Ningyu's words, Bai Xiumei immediately took them seriously.
"Comrade Ning Yu, have you investigated the guard strength of this labor camp and the exact number of people being detained?"
Yang Ningyu gave a wry smile.
“We can only observe the general situation of the labor camp from the outside; we don’t know the specifics inside.”
Yang Ningyu paused for a moment, then revealed news that made Bai Xiumei's heart sink.
"Moreover, Xu Jie also knew about this matter, and I even asked him to investigate the situation there. Now it's uncertain whether Xu Jie has reported this information to the Japanese."
Bai Xiumei frowned upon hearing this.
If that's the case, then the Japanese labor camp was probably well-prepared.
A direct assault on the labor camp would likely result in an ambush by the Japanese.
And most importantly, they still can't be sure whether the three intelligence agents will be publicly executed by the Japanese during the day.
The council chamber fell silent for a moment.
"Attack! Attack now! Gao Qiang, Yang Ningyu, you two go and assemble the team immediately. We're setting off now."
We cannot let the Japanese lead us by the nose.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Xiumei broke the silence in the hall with her voice.
"Now? Minister, we know absolutely nothing about the situation inside the labor camps! Wouldn't it be too risky to act rashly?"
Yang Ningyu said with some surprise.
Bai Xiumei glanced at Yang Ningyu and said slowly.
"That's better than walking into the trap set by the Japanese during the day. Now we have the initiative in the fight, and who says we can't fight without intelligence? Execute orders."
At this moment, Bai Xiumei exuded an aura that left no room for doubt.
He made the decision immediately.
"Yes!"
Yang Ningyu immediately saluted and accepted the order, then turned around and went out to begin assembling the team.
"Gao Qiang, this operation depends on your special forces team. You must take down this labor camp for me."
It's 3:15 a.m. You need to set off immediately and find out the situation in the labor camp.
Before the main force arrives, I hope you can create a breach in the perimeter of the labor camp for me.
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
Gao Qiang responded loudly.
"Little Blue, Silly Girl, you two go too. But be careful."
"Okay, Sister Bai, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lan immediately patted her chest, as she was familiar with this tactic.
The silly girl beside her looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
After Bai Xiumei noticed, she pulled the silly girl aside.
Asked softly.
"Silly girl, what's wrong? If you don't want to go, then don't go."
"No, Auntie. Before Xiao Luo left, he told me that he could provide artillery support if the situation here became critical."
But... but I can't judge when a crisis will occur.
The silly girl sounded a little aggrieved when she said this. She really didn't know; all she had to do before was follow Bai Luo around.
It's really asking too much of her to make that judgment now.
