Sniper Squad

狙击部队

**1939, at the outset of the Japanese occupation of Guangdong, the remaining East River Column formed an Urban Operations Squad. Their battlefield was not the mountains or countryside, but the bustling city. The squad comprised members with diverse skills: Captain Qi Zhonglou, a graduate of the Japanese military academy, excelled in firearms, earning him the nickname "Lieutenant"; Mei Yifang, from a wealthy family, was adept in lightness skills, throwing knives, and hand grenades, known as "Plum Blossom"; the loyal and strong Ma Zhenkuai, skilled in martial arts, was dubbed "Cripple Ma"; Ma Lanlan, Ma's sister, was an expert in explosives, earning her the moniker "Blue Phoenix"; the charming and cunning Ray Xiuzi, skilled in intelligence gathering, was known as "Nine-Year Red"; and Liu Xianglin, adept at disguise and information extraction, was called "Liu Public". This group, like ancient swordsmen, infiltrated enemy territory to strike decisive blows against the Japanese.** **Following Captain Qi Zhonglou's clever plan to eliminate the head of the Black Dragon Society, a subordinate organization of the Japanese Special Service, the Japanese South China Area Special Service's highest commander, Takeuchi Eikyo, was enraged. He summoned his old subordinate, Kitamura Shinzo, from Japan to retaliate and annihilate the East River Column's underground organization.** **The Japanese retaliation had severe consequences, prompting the Urban Operations Squad to counterattack and eliminate Takeuchi. Subsequently, Kitamura took over and became the squad's archenemy. He repeatedly clashed with the guerrilla unit but always ended in defeat.**
