Leitao and Meng Xiaoyu rushed to the vicinity of the command post, where Scarface Li, Sun Jinhua, and the others were locked in a constant urban skirmish with the Japanese Army defending the city. The deafening sound of gunfire and explosions echoed through the area. The streets were thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder, and the buildings were pockmarked with holes, bullets whistling through the broken walls from time to time.
Seeing Leitao and Meng Xiaoyu arrive, a flash of joy crossed Scarface Li's face. He hunched over, quickly approached them, and shouted, "You finally made it! These devils in the city are tough to deal with; we’re currently at a stalemate with them." Leitao surveyed the battlefield and said, "We can't stay in this deadlock any longer. You provide a feint from the front, and I’ll flank them, climb up from the rear, and launch a surprise attack to leave them without a leader."
Upon hearing this, Meng Xiaoyu immediately said, "I’ll go with you. Two people are better than one." Leitao shook his head. "No, I’ll go alone. Free-climbing to the fourth floor is no child’s play. Yuer, be a good girl... Being alone makes me a smaller target, harder to spot, and much more agile. You coordinate with Scarface Li and the others to provide covering fire from the front to draw the enemy’s attention. Coordination between our internal and external efforts is the safest approach."
