Chapter 63

After completing his mission, Leitao arrived at an open space, pulled a red flare from his coat, and fired it into the air. The red glow bloomed in the night sky like a flower of hope, illuminating the darkness and signaling the success of the operation to his comrades. In a concealed corner nearby, Leitao had a bulletproof truck waiting. He sprinted toward the vehicle, jumped in, and started the engine. Seeing the flare, the other members of the Underground Party hurried along their pre-planned routes toward the truck. They ran swiftly, dodging potential pursuit by the Japanese Army. Old Zhang led one group in skillfully using the ruins and shadows of the streets to break free from the Japanese Army, while Xiao Wang’s second group emerged from the smoke to rendezvous at the truck. The third group fought as they withdrew, buying time for the others. Leitao drove the bulletproof truck slowly toward the extraction point, keeping a vigilant watch on his surroundings and preparing for any sudden developments. As he saw his comrades approaching, he quickly opened the doors to let them in. Once everyone was aboard, the truck sped toward the safe zone, leaving behind a scene of chaos and the furious roars of the Japanese Army.
