Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 651: The Strange Peking Airport

The reason why Guan Gu Shenqi deliberately stayed away from those core secrets was simple:

First, he would not take the initiative to access core secrets without a key person, to prevent some accidental situations from leading to internal investigations and ultimately exposing his identity.

Second, every core secret often results in the deaths of a large number of Chinese people, so he couldn't bear to get his hands stained with blood.

All right, then let's follow the previous security process. It's nothing more than adding some sentries near the train station and checking for suspicious people. As long as their safety is guaranteed, that's all.

As for arranging delicious meals for those senior officials, that is not their business.

"Then I'll have to work hard for you. Just hold on. According to the time it takes in the past, it should be done in a day at most."

"Section Chief Guan Gu, that may not be the case this time. I saw that the assistance notice they issued requires at least four days of guarantee, and all railway transportation must give priority to military trains. I heard from my friends at the Peking Railway Station that because of the huge number of Kwantung Army passing through the station, they were forced to suspend the transportation of ordinary passengers and stopped selling tickets!"

Guan Gu Shenqi was very puzzled and immediately opened the letter of assistance presented by his subordinates.

"What? It really takes four days! How many military trains would have to pass by? Hundreds of thousands?"

Guan Gu Shenqi looked at his men and nodded, secretly saying that something was not good.

These hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers couldn't just be here to stroll through the border, right? They must have a major mission, and at least a large-scale battle!

Guan Gu Shenqi thought secretly: I must find out the Japanese's intentions and pass on the information.

"Let's go, I'll go see for myself!"

Guan Gu Shenqi led two of his men out the door and met the head of the Confidential Section 1 at the door:

"Section Chief Guan Gu, are you leading your men to maintain order again? Thank you for your hard work! You are doing all the work of the traffic police. Remember to let them treat you to a meal!

Our confidential department is in a terrible situation. We have to make combat plans for large troops every day, either studying how to cross the Yellow River to the south or how to bomb the airport. It's terrible!"

Unexpectedly, the simple boasting words of the head of the Confidential Section 1 were engraved in Guan Gu Shenqi's heart word by word.

Cross the Yellow River to the south? Bomb the airport?

Guan Gu Shenqi had a dull expression on his face, and then stood there without saying a word.

The head of the Confidential Section 1 looked at Guan Gu Shenqi, who seemed to be about to erupt like a volcano, and suddenly felt that what he had said was a bit too much, so he lowered his head and hurried away.

"Section Chief, don't be angry, let's go!"

Only then did Guan Gu Shenqi pull his thoughts out of the mess.

Sitting in a military jeep, Guan Gu Shenqi arrived at the heavily guarded Peking Railway Station.

As soon as we got off the car, we saw Japanese soldiers wearing two kinds of military uniforms standing guard. Some of them were military police from the North China Front Army, and the other part were military police from the Kwantung Army. There were also some black-clad policemen from the Peking Police Department on the periphery.

Guan Gu Shenqi and the other two revealed their identities, passed through the first police blockade, and then came to the second circle of North China Front Army military police outposts.

Guan Gu Shenqi has been in the North China Front Army Headquarters for so many years that he has become very familiar with these gendarmerie captains.

"Section Chief Guan Gu, are you here to inspect the work?"

"Well, come and take a look. Looking at the letter of assistance, this mission seems to be very important, so let's go to the scene to take a look!"

"Hayi! Thank you for your hard work, Section Chief Guan Gu! Everything went as planned today!"

"Okay, then you guys continue. When you're done, we'll have a drink together! The Confidential Section 2 still has some funds for hospitality, and Zui Xiang Lou will be full of fun!"

"Ahahahaha, of course!"

After Guan Gu Shenqi finished speaking, he patted the gendarmerie captain on the shoulder and walked towards the innermost circle of the encirclement.

"Section Chief Guan Gu, I advise you not to go over there!"

"Nani? Why?"

"These Kwantung Army soldiers look up at the sky when they walk. They have bad tempers and don't allow our soldiers to get close to their military trains. They don't even want the food we prepare. We are being ignored by them!"

Guan Gu Shenqi stood on tiptoe and looked inside. The Kwantung Army soldiers looked as expressionless as if their father had died.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. In the past, whether the Kwantung Army or the 11th Army from the south passed by, Beijing, as the headquarters of the North China Front Army, would definitely play the role of a good host and send them some food and wine.

But what happened this time! He didn’t even want to eat or drink, could he be going to heaven?

Guan Gu Shenqi didn't believe it, and walked towards the Kwantung Army military police outside with his ID.

"I am Guan Gu Shenqi, the head of the Confidential Section 2 of the General Staff of the North China Front Command. I have been ordered to assist the Kwantung Army in passing through the station. I came in to check the security work!"

But Guan Gu Shenqi seemed to be talking to the air, and the two Japanese soldiers in front of him crossed their three rifles in front of him, blocking his way.

"Sir, we cannot let you in without the order of the 1st Division of the Kwantung Army!"

"An order from the First Division? You must understand that this is Peking, the defense zone of the North China Front Army! Get out of the way immediately!"

"Sorry! I'm sorry!"

Guan Gushen was so angry that his head felt dizzy and he was ready to fight, but immediately a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the side.

A Kwantung Army officer with the rank of major general came running over with a squad of soldiers.

The Japanese soldier who had just been standing at the door whispered what had just happened to the major of the Kwantung Army, and he nodded repeatedly as he listened.

After a while, the major of the Kwantung Army turned around and nodded slightly to Guan Gu Shenqi.

"I'm sorry, Chief Guan Gu, this is indeed a request from the Kwantung Army's Supreme Command. It involves major military secrets. We can't let anyone in without orders. You, the North China Front Army, only need to maintain order on the periphery and don't let others disturb us. Please!"

After the major of the Kwantung Army finished speaking, he bowed in a pretentious manner.

Then he stared at Guan Gu Shenqi with an aggressive look.

He seemed very polite, but the arrogance was written all over his face. Did he actually treat the North China Front Army as just minions on outer perimeter alert?

Looking at the expression of the Japanese lieutenant colonel, Guan Gu Shenqi thought about it and felt that this might really be the request of the Supreme Command. Perhaps he shouldn't touch upon this issue now.

"Okay, we'll just check for suspicious people outside. If you need anything, please contact us."

"please!"

Guan Gu Shenqi left Peking Railway Station immediately after he finished speaking. After all this trouble, it was exactly six o'clock in the evening.

"Let's go to Zui Xiang Lou and have a couple of drinks. It's my treat!"

"Hayi, it's so happy to follow Section Chief Guan Gu. You don't have to do anything dangerous, and you can have a good meal from time to time!"

The three of them walked to Zui Xiang Lou, and then stayed in the original private room.

Guan Gu Shenqi ordered eight dishes, four cold and four hot, and a few pots of sake, and then started drinking for them.

After three rounds of drinking, Guan Gu Shenqi saw a familiar figure passing by the door and said:

"I'm going to go to the bathroom. Enjoy yourselves. You must finish these two bottles of sake before I come back!"

"Hayi!"
