Chapter 33 Capturing Enemy Agents
"no problem."
Jiang Bo agreed without thinking.
"I am honored to contribute to the defense of the Forty-Nine City. I am ready to go at any time."
Hearing him say this, Chen Dalong admired him even more.
Chen Dalong and his colleagues held a meeting to discuss the matter and decided to carry out the arrest operation tonight.
If the enemy spies find that the situation is unusual, they will most likely move away immediately.
But if we act during the day, there will be many people passing by and it will be easy to be exposed.
So it is likely that they will choose to transfer at night.
Chen Dalong decided to send some people to keep an eye on Zhan Yougen.
Others ambushed around the stronghold in advance, waiting for the enemy spies to appear and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy spies, the police officers disguised themselves as ordinary people and pretended to be going to the mountains to collect or hunt.
The team is assembled.
Chen Dalong explained the situation to the police officers.
Finally, he said: "Comrades, the enemy agents are sabotaging our land. We must not let them succeed!"
"We will set out now to wipe them out. We cannot let a single enemy spy escape."
"But I still want to emphasize that we should try our best to capture them alive."
"Now we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark."
“It is unknown how many of them are lurking among the people, or even within us.”
"It is of great significance for us to capture these enemy agents alive and interrogate them."
"Do you understand everything?"
More than 40 police officers, all with serious expressions and ready to fight, responded with a thunderous roar:
"understand!"
Jiang Bo and Chen Dalong were together, walking in front.
The team broke up into groups of two or three.
Each group was separated by a distance to ensure that they could keep up but not be too close.
When they were almost at the bamboo forest, Jiang Bo stopped and pointed to Chen Dalong and said:
"It was here that I met Zhan Yougen."
"He turned from the fork in the road ahead, and after meeting me, he headed down the mountain."
"Then when I went to the bamboo forest to catch chickens, I saw him sneaking back and heading that way."
Chen Dalong nodded.
Many people don’t know that in detective work, the most important thing is details.
However, Jiang Bo was very careful and explained all the details in detail and in a very organized manner.
Jiang Bo led the police team up the mountain along the same road that Zhan Yougen took. When they were still one kilometer away from the hidden cave, Jiang Bo reminded Chen Dalong.
"It's not far ahead. Just turn the corner and you'll be there."
Chen Dalong made a gesture, signaling the people behind him to hide.
Then a scout was sent to check out the situation.
Not long after, the scout came back and reported that there were no signs of large-scale enemy spy activities ahead.
But there were two people whose behavior was rather suspicious.
"The agents must have discovered something unusual and are preparing to move."
"These two people stayed behind to keep watch."
"Don't alarm them yet."
"Notify our people to form a circle and hide in place."
The sky gradually darkened and night fell.
Jiang Bo's stomach began to growl. He hadn't eaten since noon.
Of course, the same goes for the police officers around, including Chen Dalong.
But none of these people complained.
They were all staring at the target with serious expressions.
He stayed in his position, almost motionless, for fear of making any noise and alerting the enemy.
Jiang Bo admired him secretly.
"No matter what era it is, frontline police officers are always worthy of admiration."
Everyone stayed in ambush like this until the second half of the night.
at last.
"There is a situation!"
In the distance, there were clusters of torches, getting closer and closer.
In this day and age, flashlights are still a rare commodity.
Jiang Bo also bought it on the black market at a huge price.
Most people seldom go out at night.
The police officers in ambush became more cautious, kept silent, and had already loaded their pistols and aimed at the enemy.
The torches were getting closer.
Chen Dalong roughly counted them and found that there were about a dozen people.
The leader was not tall, but short and fat, but he did not look like a bandit.
On the contrary, his temperament is quite peaceful.
Thrown into a crowd, he is just a simple, good-natured guy.
The people following behind had different looks and temperaments, but none of them had any outstanding characteristics.
They are the type who don't stand out in the crowd.
Who could have imagined that they were all hidden spies who secretly sabotaged and killed people without blinking an eye.
"How is the situation? Is there anything unusual?"
The short and fat man in the lead asked the two men.
"Nothing unusual was found."
"We've been waiting here for the whole afternoon, and no one has come near us."
"Maybe we are overthinking it. Is there something else going on with Sun Shigao?"
Shorty interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"impossible."
"Sun Shigao has always been cautious, it is impossible for him to make such a mistake."
"unless……"
Jiang Bo then realized that the enemy spy who had been knocked unconscious by him was named Sun Shigao.
This name is quite consistent with his temperament.
The short and fat man said no more.
Instead, he asked another question.
"Has Zhan Yougen been contacted?"
"Is there anything unusual over there?"
The person next to him replied,
"Our people took a look from a distance."
"Zhan Yougen is in the store, there's nothing unusual."
"Could it be that something happened to this kid?!"
The short and fat man thought about it.
"Hard to say."
"No matter what, let's move as soon as possible before this place is discovered."
"Can't wait any longer!"
"Let's transfer the supplies first, and then investigate Sun Shigao's whereabouts."
After saying this, they all extinguished the torches, leaving two people standing watch at the door.
The rest of the people entered the cave one by one.
Chen Dalong hid behind a relatively large rock and paid close attention to the movements of the enemy spies.
"...Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen."
He counted secretly in his mind.
A total of seventeen enemy spies went in, plus two who were keeping watch at the door, a total of nineteen.
This number is very important. When we close the net later, we will be able to judge whether there are enemy spies taking advantage of the chaos to escape. The number of people will be a decisive reference.
Soon, rustling sounds were heard at the entrance of the cave.
The enemy agents came out with supplies.
The entrance to the cave was very narrow, and the men carried the boxes and moved out of the cave with great difficulty.
Chen Dalong made a gesture, signaling the police officers to be attentive and prepared.
He counted the number of people in his mind, and when everyone came out of the cave, he roared.
"Don't even move!"
The police officers who were surrounding us suddenly appeared like soldiers descending from the sky.
The enemy spies were startled by the sudden attack and immediately lost their composure.
They dropped the boxes in their hands and fled without even having time to draw their weapons.
The rapid sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night.
Fierce gunfire broke out instantly.
Fires flew and bullets whizzed.
Chen Dalong led the charge.
"Lay down your weapons and surrender is your only way out!"
"Surf the gun and don't kill!"
The police officers shouted in unison.
The short and fat man who looked very peaceful became extremely vicious, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said viciously:
"Brothers, fight them!"
He continued to shout and shoot.
Chen Dalong shot him in the thigh, and the short and fat enemy agent fell to the ground immediately.
