Chapter 1000: Only One Gamble
"Check the guns and explosives to make sure they are all OK. The operation will begin in three minutes."
"The first team follows me. The second team will be led by Lao Xu from the side. The third team will be led by Daniu. Prepare the explosives. Once you succeed, bury them immediately. If you can't get close, retreat immediately."
"Old Xu, Daniel, let's check the time..."
Orders were issued one after another in an orderly manner. The leaders took out their pocket watches from their pockets, and after checking them by the moonlight, Zhan Yunpeng waved his hand and everyone dispersed.
The team of more than 20 people was divided into three small teams, each heading towards the East China Refinery.
"Boom, boom." Explosions sounded one after another.
"Enemy attack, be on alert." The naval forces stationed in the East China Refinery quickly assembled.
This time it was not like during the day. During the day, the naval forces had already prepared for battle, and those people had already seen the powerful firepower inside the refinery.
I didn't expect they would dare to come at night, and their attack was even more fierce than during the day.
But no matter what, numbers are the biggest weakness of these Central Bureau of Investigation agents.
There is a squadron of nearly two hundred naval troops stationed in the East China Refinery.
Although the number of people is scattered, the strength is there.
After the initial panic, under the command of Commander Major Sakata, all troops immediately began to launch a counter-encirclement against the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics team.
The navy's equipment is superior to that of the army. In just a few minutes, the dense firepower network formed by the navy forces has suppressed this group of agents and made them unable to move.
Seeing that the ten-minute time was up, Zhan Yunpeng gave the retreat signal without hesitation.
The team of more than 20 agents disappeared again into the night after leaving behind more than ten corpses.
Shanghai, Special Affairs Investigation Section of the Marine Corps Command.
The news that the East China Refinery was attacked again by Central Bureau of Investigation agents soon reached the Special Affairs Investigation Section.
Okita Keiji, who had been resting for a long time, was also called up.
After listening to the report from the commander of the refinery, Sakata Yuji, Okita Keiji ordered him to guard the refinery.
Just after hanging up the phone, the phone rang again.
"Moses Moses, this is the Navy Special Affairs Investigation Division."
"Ahem, ahem." The person on the other side coughed a few times, and then a low voice said, "Is that Okita-kun? I'm Higashino Daiki from the Joint Transportation Department."
Okita Keiji was stunned for a moment. The voice on the other side seemed a little different from the voice of Higashino Daiki he had heard before.
"I'm sorry, Okita-kun, I seem to have a cold." As if to dispel Okita Keiji's doubts, the man opposite made another sound of coughing and inhaling.
"Higashino-kun, if you are sick, just take a good rest. Is there something important that you called here at this time?" Okita Keiji seemed to accept this explanation.
"Ahem." Higashino Daiki coughed twice and said, "Okita-kun, I just received news that the Huadong Oil Refinery was attacked again."
"The minister asked me to call you and ask if the Navy Department can provide some help in ensuring the safety of the fuel."
"What kind of help does Minister Chen want?"
"It's like this. There are still some small and medium-sized oil tankers docked at Yangpu Wharf in the Japanese community. The Minister hopes that the Navy Department can issue an emergency order to requisition these ships."
"The minister's intention is to load the fuel overnight and ship it back to the mainland as soon as possible."
Okita Keiji frowned and said, "Higashino-kun, I need to ask my superiors for instructions on this."
Higashino Daiki coughed twice and said, "Okita-kun, I hope you can report this to your superiors as soon as possible. These anti-Japanese elements have gone crazy now."
"They have launched suicide attacks on the Huadong Oil Refinery time and again. If there is any problem with the fuel, it will affect the Empire's war. The Minister hopes that the Navy Department must come up with a solution as soon as possible."
Okita Keiji thought for a moment and said, "I understand. I'll arrange it right away."
Beep, beep, there was a busy tone on the other end. Okita Keiji frowned into the phone, sighed, sorted out the records in front of him, took the documents and walked towards the commander's office of the Navy Department.
At the same time, in a private house in Yangpu District, Gu Linhuai hung up the phone, looking extremely solemn.
"Teacher, what's going on? Did the other party believe it?" Du Xiufeng asked anxiously as he looked at Gu Linhuai's appearance.
Gu Linhuai shook his head: "I don't know, but this is our last chance. If he doesn't believe it, this plan will be a complete failure."
Du Xiufeng said worriedly: "Teacher, I still feel something is wrong. What if this Okita Jingsi you mentioned calls back to verify the situation?"
Gu Linhuai shook his head: "Others might, but Okita Keiji won't. Director Ding has shown me the information. Given his relationship with Minister Chen and the way this person does things, he will never doubt it."
"Well, I'm not really sure, but at this point we can only take a gamble."
After that, Gu Linhuai stood up, took out the pocket watch from his clothes, opened it, looked at the time, and murmured: "At this time, the doctor should also tell the 'truth'. I just don't know if he can hold Chen Yang back."
Du Xiufeng was silent for a moment and said, "Teacher, we have done everything we can. You should go now. I will take care of the rest."
Gu Linhuai walked to the window, looked at the twinkling lights on the pier, and shook his head decisively.
"Xiufeng, this time, I won't leave..."
Shanghai, Mei Agency interrogation room.
Chen Yang appeared in the interrogation room soon after receiving a call from Qingqi Qingyin.
Not long ago, Chen Yang received a call from Qian, the manager of the East China Oil Refinery, saying that the group of Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents had come again.
This time they didn't get any benefit and ran away after leaving behind more than a dozen corpses.
Chen Yang was a little confused as to why these people rushed in so recklessly when they knew there were naval troops stationed at the refinery. It seemed unnecessary to do so.
However, he did not think too much about it. After all, these few people from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics would definitely not be able to do anything.
Just when he was about to take a break, Qingqi Qingyin called again.
He said on the phone that the Central Bureau of Investigation agent wanted to see him and had very important news to tell him in person.
After careful consideration, Chen Yang finally agreed.
"Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry to have you make this trip so late at night."
Qingqi Qingyin unbuttoned the two buttons on his collar, revealing the white shirt underneath.
"This Central Bureau of Investigation agent was very stubborn. We tried everything we could to pry him open.
"Not long ago, he was suddenly willing to tell the truth, on the condition that he wanted to have a face-to-face interview with you, Mr. Chen."
"I guess his rank is not low, and he wants to bargain for a good price from you, Mr. Chen."
"After all, the entire Shanghai market knows that you are the most generous."
"Qingqi-kun, as long as it can be solved with money, it's not a big deal." Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Don't waste time, bring the person up, I also want to know what he can say."
Qingqi Qingyin nodded: "Sato-kun, bring the person up."
Sato Shinichi beside him bowed slightly and hurried to pick up the prisoner.
