No trace of espionage

Chapter 307 Don't Disappoint
There are five people in the "crab group".

Team leader "Portunus", formerly known as Matsumoto Shinichi, pseudonym Zheng Yi, assistant manager of Wenyuan Hotel, in charge of catering business;
"Blue Crab", formerly known as Takagi Penglang, pseudonym Takagi, is the comprador of Wenyuan Hotel, who acts as a liaison in the group and is also responsible for sending, receiving and compiling telegrams with the Japanese base camp;

"Stone Crab", formerly known as Anqi Tanaka, pseudonym Tian An, a mechanic of the "Yihe" car maintenance company, and an action member;
"Flower Crab", formerly known as Goto Yuanjing, pseudonym Shi Yuan, clerk of Boyuan Bookstore, team member of the operation;
"Red Crab", Sato Yoshihiro, pseudonym Zuo Yang, unemployed, action team member.

The five members of the "crab group" came to Nanjing first, Yunzi Nakano, with the Central Daily News as the center. Except for Yoshihiro Sato who did not find a job as a mobile force, the other four found legitimate jobs that could conceal their true identities.

The main task of the "crab group" is to assist Yunzi Nakano in instigating rebellion, and at the same time be responsible for its defense and liaison with the Japanese base camp.

Because of work, Shinichi Matsumoto has access to the list of people who come to Wenyuan Hotel for dinner, especially when important officials from the Propaganda Department come to eat, he will always know the first time.

He was the one who provided Yunzi Nakano with the news that Pang Xinghan and Zhu Daoshan came to Wenyuan for dinner.

Yesterday, he used the excuse of going to the bulletin board to read the job advertisements, saw the signal from Yunzi Nakano, and immediately ordered Takagi Penglang to retrieve the information in the name of buying vegetables.

After reading the information, Matsumoto Shinichi did not delay, and ordered Takagi Penglang to inform the other three action members to discuss the action plan in his office after get off work.

He has his own office in the hotel, which is very confidential.The hotel is also a place with a strong flow of people. If five people gather in one place, they will not attract special attention from others.

After discussion, Shinichi Matsumoto ordered Sato Yoshihiro to inspect the route the next day and formulate an action plan.

Today, Sato Yoshihiro walked along the route provided by Nakano Yunko and came back to report to Matsumoto Shinichi.

"Zheng Xiangli, look, this is a map I drew based on the terrain on the ground. In my opinion, this is the best place to ambush."

"Tell me the reason." Matsumoto Shin said.

"This is the only way for the prison cars to pass through. When passing through the bridge hole, as long as we put a crossbar or stone north of the bridge hole, the prison cars will stop, and the bridge hole is narrow and difficult to turn around. When the time comes, we will rush up unexpectedly , you're done." Sato Yoshihiro said.

"What's the surrounding terrain like?" Matsumoto Shinichi asked.

"There are no houses within [-] meters, and it's all grass half the height of a person." Sato Yoshihiro said.

Shinichi Matsumoto looked at the map, thought carefully and said: "This is indeed an excellent ambush location. This time, the robbery of the prison car must be done cleanly. No one can be left alive or any clues can be left at the scene. This bridge hole is just right. Let's get to the point of action."

"In order to ensure timely and accurate actions, we need to find a car, follow the prison car, and turn on the lights when we approach the bridge opening to signal, so that we can be foolproof." Zuo Teng Jiayang added.

"Okay, let's do it!" Matsumoto nodded and agreed with Sato Yoshihiro's suggestion.

……

At [-]:[-], Shu Qi quietly came to the house and reported to Lin Chuang: "Group leader, someone is here. There are four people in ambush on the east and west sides of the bridge hole."

"Okay, got it." Lin Chuang said.

"It's impossible to have only four people. Four people deal with seven guards, looking for death? There must be others." Lin Chuang thought.

In order to prove his judgment, Lin Chuang picked up the phone and called Sun Shengli: "Captain Sun, what's the situation with you?"

"Report to the team leader, everything is normal." Sun Shengli replied.

"Is there any suspicious vehicle?" Lin Chuang asked.

"A car just stopped in front of the Kaifeng Pie Shop. The lights were off, but no one got out." Sun Shengli replied.

At the same time, Sun Shengli admired Lin Chuang, the young team leader: "The team leader is really amazing. He called just as soon as the car stopped. He is really a god."

"How many people are in the car? Is there a license plate?" Lin Chuang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Report to the team leader, there is no license plate, and the people in the car can't see clearly, do you want to go and have a look?" Sun Shengli replied.

"What are you looking at? Keep an eye on that car, wait for the prison car to come out, and see if it is following behind the convoy. If it is, follow behind it and don't be alarmed. When the front rings, you follow its back path." Lin Chuang said angrily.

"Yes, I understand!" Sun Shengli replied quickly after hearing the unkindness in Lin Chuang's tone.

Putting down the phone, Lin Chuang said in his heart: "Okay, there is only one car, plus four people for a total of eight people. My manpower is enough." Thinking of this, Lin Chuang felt relieved.

At eleven o'clock, just as Lin Chuang was about to get up and go out, the phone rang, and it was Sun Shengli.

"Report to the team leader, the prison van is leaving, and the suspicious car followed without the lights on." Sun Shengli's voice was very low, and he could hear excitement and nervousness in his voice.

"Okay, follow up immediately, remember, don't disturb it." Lin Chuangming said.

"Yes!" Sun Shengli agreed loudly.

Lin Chuang put down the phone, pulled out his pistol, opened the insurance, and said to Shu Qi: "The convoy has already set off, followed by a car. You are in charge of the north side of the bridge, and I will go to the south side of the bridge to have a look."

"Team leader, you don't want to go, just direct in the room, the humble job will not let the team leader down." Shu Qi said excitedly.

"Follow orders!" Lin Chuang said seriously.

Of course Lin Chuang knew that Shu Qi had good intentions.

However, he was responsible for rescuing Zhang Shouzheng and his wife, and also to see if the "three-person team" could successfully rescue Xu Tao. He had to go to the scene, how could he hide in the house?

"Yes." Seeing that Lin Chuang insisted on going to the scene in person, Shu Qi had no choice but to agree, and with a wave of his hand, a group of subordinates followed him and sneaked out of the surveillance point.

Lin Chuang quietly followed behind, while others were not paying attention, made a big circle, sneaked to the south of the bridge, and squatted in the grass.

"I don't know if the trio is here? Where are they hiding?" Lin Chuang looked around and couldn't see anything in the dark.

"Yi Lianhua, don't let me down. For today's layout, I have spent a lot of effort." Lin Chuang prayed secretly.

At this time, Lin Chuang was full of expectations, worries, nervousness, and all kinds of emotions in his heart, which made his nerves highly tense, but the Lingtai was extremely clear.

His eyes were fixed on the south, waiting for the moment of the three-way melee.

Not long after, a total of four lights pierced the darkness and shone from the south. At the same time, the sound of the motor of the car became louder and louder.

"Here we come." Lin Chuang said secretly: "Little devil, don't let me down."
