In addition to the puppet army, the same is true for the intelligence personnel of the underground organization. They cannot be too diligent and cannot be too frugal in life, otherwise they will easily be suspected. There are many undercover personnel in our army who donated all their money to the organization, and their lives are very difficult, and then they are targeted by the enemy.

So after Yu Zhigan led his men to Dalian, he basically slacked off every day, often playing drinking games and cards like normal puppet soldiers.

Only at night or when it is quiet will people secretly do some training, usually some physical training to maintain their body functions.

This kind of life is really too painful for Yu Zhigan.

Now it can all finally be over.

After reading the telegram, Yu Zhigan slammed it on the table and said seriously, "Comrades, the commander orders us to control the entire Dalian before tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, he quickly spread out the map and marked various important locations on it.

"The Dalian Shipyard, Steel Plant, Power Plant, and Engine Plant are all top priorities. Arrange 50 comrades to quickly control them. Contact the comrades in the union and ensure the safety of the factories in Dalian!"

"Yes!"

"There's a Japanese heavy cruiser under repair at the harbor. The guns on it are a huge threat to us. At night, have the comrades in charge of repairs at the dock find a way to control the ship. Even if we blow it up, we can't let their main guns fire!"

"Yes!"

"And this Yamato-class battleship is still under construction and is already 90% complete. We can't let the Japanese destroy it, is that okay?"

"Report, no problem!"

"Very good, the last one is Dalian City!"

"We need to control the Japanese Navy Garrison Headquarters in Dalian. Leave this part to me. Just give me one company. As for the Dalian Garrison Headquarters, can you take it down with just one battalion?"

"Report, no problem!"

"Very good. Finally, we're at the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters. The man on duty today is called Tian Yiyongfu, and he's a heavy drinker. Lao Guan, you have a good relationship with him. Why don't you take some people to the Marine Corps headquarters tonight for a drink and get him drunk? Is that okay?"

"no problem!"

"Besides that, there's Dalian's city defense. We have over 300 people on duty tonight, and there will be over 200 more when the shift changes in the morning. Remember, you must open the city gates immediately and allow our large force to enter the city as soon as possible. Is that okay?"

"no problem!"

"Okay, let's make the arrangements!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the special operations brigade soldiers who sneaked into the city began to take action.

They came to each factory with the news, and after giving the order, everyone began to prepare.

Although preparations were made to control the city of Dalian, on the surface there was no ripple and everyone was busy with their own affairs.

On the Japanese heavy cruiser, a soldier from the special operations brigade was busy repairing the problems on the ship.

"This devil's ship is really big!"

The soldier said as he worked.

"Don't talk nonsense. What kind of devil is that? Call him Taijun!" An old worker beside him whispered.

"Yes, yes, it's Taijun, call me Taijun!" the soldier responded with a smile.

The old worker sighed and said, "Marshal Li's troops have already captured Fengtian, why don't they come to us?"

As he spoke, he shook his head.

"Maybe they're afraid of these Japanese warships? They'll probably come after they sink them!"

When the old worker heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "It's not easy to sink such a big iron lump. Look, it's fine even though there's such a big hole in it."

As he spoke, he pointed to the area that was being repaired.

"What should we do? This ship can't do it, and Marshal Li can't defeat it either."

The so-called Marshal Li is Li Yunlong. Most people still call Li Yunlong Marshal Li. These are people who have experienced the period of warlords' fighting. When they see a soldier, they will call him Marshal.

"Sinking it is too difficult. It is easy to make it grounded. We just need to tamper with the engine room. But the Japs will check it. If we are discovered, we will all be finished. The next thing is the ammunition depot. If the ammunition depot is blown up, this piece of iron will be finished too!"

"Or maybe..."

The old worker whispered all these thoughts, and the soldiers around him silently kept them in mind. They were already very familiar with this heavy cruiser and knew the location of each compartment. After receiving the order, they began to think about how to control this heavy cruiser.

At night, the first person to take action was Guan Er, who went to the Marine Corps Headquarters to drink.

Lao Guan brought a box of wine and went directly to where Tian Yiyongfu was on duty. There was no need to say much. After seeing the wine, Tian Yiyongfu instantly became energetic and warmly entertained Guan Er.

The Japanese have had a hard time recently, and the navy has also been living a tight life. After all, they need to build and repair warships, and many of the original benefits have been cancelled. Many old Japanese soldiers are having an uncomfortable time.

After Lao Guan arrived, Tian Yiyongfu took out a few cans and said, "These are cans left over from the past. They're not mixed with cow blood. They're authentic canned beef. Come and try some!"

The two men began drinking around nine o'clock in the evening, and it wasn't until around three o'clock in the morning the next day that Guan Er walked out of the duty room, reeking of alcohol. Seeing him, the soldiers outside whispered, "Captain, are you okay?"

"It's ok, how are the preparations going?"

"We're all ready, just waiting for daybreak."

"This is the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters' deployment map. The personnel on duty today are distributed in these locations. Also, here's the command. Several key officers have already fallen asleep drunk. When we take action, arrest them first!"

"Yes!"

"Captain, do you want to rest for a while?"

Guan Er shook his head and said, "It's okay. Find a secluded place and I'll keep an eye on it. There can't be any mistakes in the operation!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 738 Controlling Heavy Cruisers and Battleships

On the heavy cruiser Atago.

After Fang Ye and several soldiers looked at the time, they nodded to each other and began to find reasons to leave their workplace.

No one cares about them. In fact, at around three or four in the morning, most people would choose to be lazy, so no one would pay too much attention to them.

"Split up and seize control of the ammunition depot, engine room, control tower, and main gun room!"

"Yes!"

"There are still people outside. Old Liu, take your men to pick them up. Your mission is..."

"Yes!"

Soon the group of people quickly dispersed. Since they had been working on the Atago for about half a month, they would secretly stroll around for a while every day and report on the progress of their exploration of the heavy cruiser. Everyone knew the location of their target, so there was no obstacle and they easily found their target.

The Japanese actually had soldiers on duty, but after drifting on the sea for several months, these soldiers were finally able to go ashore and all ran off the ship to have fun. Even the soldiers who stayed behind secretly ran away after the patrol, or found a place to drink, and there was no one on duty at all.

"Oh my goodness, this ship is so big!"

Pang Xingguo stared at the Atago in front of him with his eyes wide open. It was still dark and he could only see a dark shadow, but even so, he was shocked.

"We've only just arrived. There's a bigger one over there. Let's get on board quickly and take control of it. This ship will be ours when daybreak comes!" Old Liu, who was in charge of picking them up, whispered.

After the Battle of Hada Mountain, Pang Xingguo's three-person team joined the Special Operations Brigade. At first, he was just a squad leader, then he was promoted to platoon leader, and now he is the deputy company commander.

This position is not low. According to the combat records of Zhang Yingcai and Xiao Wanshi, these two people can easily become division commanders in any unit. If there is an army-level organization, both of them can become army commanders.

But when they arrived at the Special Operations Brigade, there were two of them, one as the brigade commander and the other as the chief of staff, so the positions of the rest of the people in the Special Operations Brigade were also relatively low.

Including Yu Zhigan, Li Yunlong's former bodyguard. When he was transferred to the Special Operations Brigade, he was only a battalion commander. Later, he was promoted to regimental commander based on his military merits.

Although Pang Xingguo and the other three won first-class merit from the military region, in the special operations brigade, if you just greet them, you will find that they are all war gods with a lot of awards and commendations for their meritorious service.

After a group of people got on board, they began to act according to the plan. The first thing they did was place explosives in the engine room. If they couldn't control the Atago, they would blow it up directly in the harbor and never let it escape.

In addition, Pang Xingguo and others began to check every cabin in the ship to control the Japanese inside, but after they turned over many cabins where people lived, they found that there was no one in these cabins at all.

"Where have all the Japs gone?"

"I don't know, look for them one by one!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, not far from the shipyard where the Atago was being overhauled, a huge black shadow was docked on the dock. This was the fourth Yamato-class battleship that the Japanese were preparing to build. The Japanese have not yet officially named it and have always called it Ship No. 4.

It was very quiet around the No. 4 ship, and there was no sound, because the construction of the No. 4 ship had been suspended for a while. Before, the work had been rushed day and night. Since the four eastern provinces were liberated by Li Yunlong and Odalia was lost, the construction of the No. 4 ship was delayed.

Occasionally, some Japanese soldiers might come in to do some odd jobs, but they usually only work for a day and then rest for a week.

The main problem is the lack of materials and accessories, especially some accessories that were originally produced in Fengtian. Now there is no way to produce them and they can only be sent from the Japanese mainland.

But the Japanese don’t have time to take care of these things now, and the order time has been delayed again and again, which has led to the current situation.

Compared to the Atago, where there were still people working or on duty, the fourth ship of the Yamato class was completely ignored at this time. Originally, there were people keeping an eye on this battleship, but as time went by, even the people responsible for guarding the battleship were too lazy to come. Anyway, such a big ship was here, and it had not been built yet, so it would not run away.

"Is this a ship?"

Standing under the Yamato, the special operations brigade soldiers who saw the Yamato-class battleship for the first time stared at the behemoth in front of them with wide eyes.

It is very tall and very big. Although it is night and we cannot see clearly, its huge figure still makes people feel a little breathless.

"Let's go, find a place to climb up and take a look. Be careful not to make any noise!"

"it is good!"

The gangway for getting on and off the ship No. 4 was not even removed. The soldiers of the special operations brigade climbed up the gangway carefully. The higher they climbed, the more surprised they were. By the time they climbed onto the wide deck of the ship No. 4, many people were stunned.

Standing on the deck of Ship No. 4, with the help of moonlight and starlight, everything around seemed small.

"What are you daydreaming about? Check it out quickly and get it under control!"

"Ah good!"

The soldiers reacted quickly, controlled their excitement, and began to run towards each cabin according to the plan. Without a blueprint, they could only rely on themselves to explore bit by bit.

When many people passed by the main gun of the Yamato, they couldn't help but stop and look at the behemoth in front of them.

The 460mm caliber main gun is chilling just standing there. One shot may kill an entire battalion of soldiers.

"No wonder the commander wants us to take control of this ship. We can use this ship to bomb the Japanese. One shot can wipe out an entire city, right?"

Li Hai, the operations team leader in charge of controlling the fourth ship, touched the gun barrel and whispered.

"You have to know how to sail, Captain. Can you sail a boat?"

Hearing this, Li Hai raised his head and said, "Of course! Before I joined the army, I was a sheepskin raft operator on the Yellow River!"

After hearing this, the other team members rolled their eyes at him and stopped talking, then started to busy themselves with their own things.

At the same time, on the Dalian city wall, the soldiers on duty tonight also began to get busy. After confirming that the time was almost up, they all started to attack the Japanese devils around them.
