Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to accept the arrangement of the acting webmaster Zheng Lijun.
He put his Browning shotgun into his briefcase, closed the bag, and with a gloomy expression, took the briefcase and left.
"Bring more guns." Zheng Lijun said suddenly.
The subordinates went to Hongyun Tower to have a drink because they were worried that there would be a sudden inspection by the police. For safety reasons, they basically did not carry weapons.
Being anxious and unable to find the right items, Zheng Lijun simply asked someone to get a vegetable basket from the kitchen. Several guns were placed in the basket, and then some biscuits, cans, wine and the like were randomly placed on top to cover it.
Cheng Xuyuan carried his briefcase and was followed by a subordinate carrying a bamboo vegetable basket.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate of No. 19 Cordier Road, turned right, and walked in the direction of Hongyun Building.
"Who is this person?" Araki Harima asked, holding binoculars with both hands and staring at the two people who came out.
"The man carrying the briefcase is named Cheng Xuyuan. He is the secretary of Shanghai Station." Lu Fei said quickly, "Cheng Xuyuan's status in the station is nominally second only to that of the acting station chief Zheng Lijun. However, Zheng Lijun has been squeezing out Cheng Xuyuan. In addition, Shang Cheng Xuyuan has no close subordinates, so he basically has fame but no power."
"Why doesn't Zheng Lijun come out?" Araki Harima looked at Cheng Xuyuan and one of his men walking into Hongyun Building. He nodded slightly. Now he only had to wait for Shanghai Station Chief Zheng Lijun to get in before he could close the net.
"Zheng Lijun is a man who loves great achievements and is very pompous." Lu Fei thought for a while and said, "He should have deliberately delayed time and asked others to wait for him."
"Shanghai is lost, and most of China has been occupied by the locust army. It's rare that they still have the leisure to show off."
"So, China deserves to die, long live the Empire of Japan." Lu Fei licked his face and said with a flattering smile.
"Mr. Lu, you are very good." Araki Harima nodded happily. He liked this knowledgeable Chinese man.
At this time, he remembered the two people who came out before Cheng Xuyuan, and asked, "Why didn't those two people go to Hongyun Tower just now?"
"Taijun is talking about Lu Xingge?" Lu Fei asked, "Lu Xingge has a withdrawn temperament and is not gregarious in the station."
"You mean Lu Xingge won't go to Hongyun Tower?" Araki Harima asked.
"I should go." Lu Fei thought for a while and said, "This is a celebration banquet for the whole station. Unless Lu Xingge doesn't want to stay in the station anymore, otherwise he will not be absent. His subordinates guess that he will go soon. .”
Araki Harima nodded. This Lu Xinge was indeed as bad-tempered and unsociable as Lu Fei said. The secretary of the Shanghai Station had already gone to the restaurant, but he, the leader of the action team, had not yet gone.
…
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan coming in with one of his men, all the middle and high-level officers at Shanghai Station stood up to greet him.
Cheng Xuyuan was indeed severely suppressed by Zheng Lijun, and he didn't have much power in his hands. However, there were differences between superiors and inferiors within the Military Command Bureau, so he still had to get by in terms of face.
"Sit, sit, sit." Cheng Xuyuan pressed his hands down, "Brothers, don't be too polite, just sit down."
He was nervous and scared in his heart, but he also knew that at this time, he must stabilize these men first and not let everyone get into chaos.
"Liu Wen, what are you doing here?" Feng Huaiyuan, the leader of the fourth group of the operations team, looked at the little man who followed Cheng Xuyuan strangely. This person was his subordinate.
"Team leader, it's terrible, there are Japs." Liu Wen, who was already nervous, almost blurted out when his team leader asked.
As he spoke, Liu Wen directly opened the towel covering the bamboo basket and said, "Team leader, grab a gun quickly."
When Liu Wen said the first sentence, Cheng Xuyuan was shocked, his face changed, and he said in his heart:
It's going to happen!
Sure enough, when they heard Liu Wen say that there were Japs, everyone's expressions changed, they looked around in panic.
When they saw Liu Wen pick up the towel and reveal the biscuits and drinks in the bamboo basket, especially when they saw the vague sight of a short gun underneath, everyone immediately told Liu Wen that what he said was true.
Especially Feng Huaiyuan, after listening to his men's words, he reacted the fastest. He walked directly forward, put his palm into the bamboo basket, and took out a Mauser pistol first.
Feng Huaiyuan's action caused everyone to imitate and compete for it.
The bamboo basket was knocked to the ground, the wine bottle was smashed, and the biscuits were trampled into crumbs.
"Don't mess around! Don't fight!" Cheng Xuyuan shouted in a low voice, "Follow my arrangements, everyone will be divided into two groups and evacuate from the front door and the back door respectively."
The scene was too chaotic. Some people planned to follow Cheng Xuyuan's arrangements, but unfortunately more people were in a mess.
Cheng Xuyuan's face was ashen. He glanced around, winked at his two men who could still remain calm, and turned around to leave the box.
What a mess!
What a mess!
If you don’t leave at this time, you won’t be able to leave at all.
…
Lu Xingge was holding a briefcase in his hand. He glanced at the left side in front of him. There were two men sitting on the ground in a daze.
The two men were dressed as rickshaw pullers, and the rickshaw was beside them.
There is something wrong with these two people.
Lu Xinge came to a conclusion immediately.
When rickshaw pullers rest, they don't sit on the ground. Most of them lie down in their rickshaws.
However, in most cases, rickshaw drivers are reluctant to stop and rest.
In addition, the sun has not set yet and is still a bit scorching. Even if the rickshaw driver is resting, he will put down the carport and lie down inside to take a nap.
The two people chose to sit on the ground and rest instead of lying in the rickshaw. This was definitely not a sign of caring for their own cars, but because their view would be blocked while lying in the rickshaw.
Lu Xinge didn't seem to notice the condition of the road. He kicked his right foot on a raised stone. He jumped in place in pain and sucked in air.
"Brother, how are you?" A Yuan hurriedly came up to help him and asked about the situation.
Ahu approached the two of them and looked at Lu Xinge with concern.
"Take those two!" Lu Xinge said softly, "Try not to make any noise."
After saying that, he placed the briefcase directly on the ground, pulled out the dagger hidden on his body, and rushed forward like lightning.
Phew!
The dagger stabbed directly into the neck of one of them. The other person opened his mouth to shout. Lu Xingge pushed his arm against the other person's mouth. The dagger stirred up the person, preventing him from shouting.
A Yuan and A Hu surrounded the other person from both sides.
Among the two, A Yuan was empty-handed, and A Hu held the dagger. A Yuan directly hugged the other person and covered his mouth. A Hu rushed up and slapped the man's abdomen three times in a row.
"Search!" Seeing that the two men were successfully dealt with without giving the other party a chance to warn them, Lu Xinge breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice.
"Southern Pistol." A Yuan touched the body of the man he was holding and took out a pistol.
"There is also a dagger," Ahu said, "and a magazine full of bullets."
Lu Xinge's face darkened, and he also took out a southern pistol from the corpse, and there was also a Japanese grenade.
It was already clear that these two people were Japanese agents.
'boom! '
At this moment, only a gunshot was heard.
Lu Xingo was startled. He raised the Nanbu pistol recovered from the body and turned around to look at it.
I saw a man also dressed as a rickshaw driver lying on his back. This man was shot in the head, white and red splattered all over the floor.
On the ground to his right is a Southern pistol.
A Yuan quickly ran over and took the southern pistol over, "Team leader, the safety is off."
Lu Xinge immediately understood that it must have been this Rite who suddenly appeared just now and wanted to shoot and attack them. He didn't know who shot him dead in time and saved his life.
"Chinese official rifle." Lu Xingge read, and he immediately judged it. He turned his head and looked far to the left, which direction the shot came from.
That's Notre Dame Road.
"Thank you." Lu Xinge smiled heartily and clasped his fists in the direction of the shooting point he judged. Then he bent down and walked up to find his briefcase. He took out his Mauser pistol and seized the gun. Putting the Nanfang pistol in, he signaled A Yuan and A Hu to pick up the other two Nanfang pistols.
"I'm not used to this gun."
"Use our own gun. We have this gun and the magazine with us as a spare." Lu Xinge ordered.
"Understood!"
"Quick! Let's go to the back door of Hongyun Building." Lu Xingge roared.
…
"Brother, you're welcome."
Cheng Qianfan had a grass stem in his mouth, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After Lu Xingge led his people out of No. 19 Cordier Road, Cheng Qianfan kept staring at their group.
Not only because Lu Xingge is the person he cares about and pays most attention to in the Shanghai Station, but also because Cheng Qianfan knows Lu Xingge’s abilities well——
In today's situation, if Shanghai Station wants to break through, it must fight bloody battles.
In this case, the performance of Lu Xinge's troops, who were the first to react and take action, played a decisive role in whether Shanghai Station could successfully carve out a bloody path.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is the eldest brother!
…
Go back in time one minute.
Araki Harima saw through the telescope that Cheng Xuyuan and two people hurriedly walked out of the front door of Hongyun Building.
His expression changed.
Araki Harima once again set up the telescope with both hands and looked at the Huzhou Zaihu Commercial Hotel at No. 19, Cordier Road, and saw smoke coming out of the yard.
"Bag duck down!!!" Araki cursed through gritted teeth.
"Act!" Araki Harima turned and shouted at a subordinate of the Special High School, "Plan No. 2, the troops are divided into two groups, one is to round up the Hongyun Tower, and the other is to attack the guild hall. No one is allowed to escape!"
"Hai!"
Seeing his men hurriedly running downstairs, Araki Harima punched the wooden railing of the window.
He really didn't understand, which link made the mistake and the other party noticed it in advance?
Suddenly, he turned to look at Lu Fei.
Being stared at by Araki Harima's sinister eyes, Lu Fei was so frightened that he trembled with fear, "Taijun, I don't know either, it's none of my business."
boom!
At this moment, a gunshot was heard.
Araki Harima turned around and saw that the gunshots came from the direction of the guild hall. Then he saw more than ten people from No. 19 Cordier Road holding short guns and rushing towards the direction of Hongyun Tower.
This group of people happened to encounter the Special High School agents who were preparing to surround the guild hall, and a fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides.
…
Gunshots.
Screams.
There was even the sound of a grenade exploding.
Detonating Cordier Road in an instant.
Pedestrians screamed, holding their heads and running away.
A little girl was so frightened that she ran around while her mother yelled and chased her like crazy.
The two rushed into the fighting zone, and the mother and daughter were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
"Mother Diurei!" Lu Xingge's eyes turned red as he gritted his teeth and cursed.
After scolding, there was only a long sigh in my heart.
"Team leader!" A Yuan shouted.
Lu Xingge turned around and saw that several of his men had been shot and died for their country. A Yuan was struggling to drag Ahu's body, and one of Ahu's arms was missing.
The arm was directly broken by the Taisho 11 light machine gun.
"Mother Throwing Thunder!" Lu Xinge gritted his teeth and fired in the direction where the light machine gun was firing.
He did not expect that the Japanese would be so arrogant and bring heavy weapons such as the Taisho 11 light machine gun into the French Concession.
Now, facing the fierce firepower of the Japanese, his men were completely suppressed and unable to move. It can be said that they suffered heavy casualties.
Not far away, there were loud gunshots and screams from the Hongyun Building.
Lu Xinge was so anxious that his teeth bled from biting down.
"First man, put down the light machine gun." Lu Xinge growled in a low voice.
"Team leader, I'm going up." A voice shouted, holding a Mauser pistol in one hand, bent down and rushed forward.
"Be careful."
"Team leader, my father and mother..."
Before he finished speaking, the upper body of this subordinate was beaten into a hornet's nest, and half of his head was gone.
"Ah——" Lu Xingge hit the ground hard, his eyes turned red.
The enemy's light machine gun firing point was set up so well. It was completely condescending and covered by stone piers. Unless they obtained other commanding heights and suddenly fired from a high position, they would not be able to kill the opponent at all.
Lu Xinge lay on the ground, observing the surrounding terrain.
At this time, the firing sound of the Taisho 11-type light machine gun on the opposite side stopped.
With no time to analyze whether the opponent was out of ammunition or the machine gunner was killed, Lu Xingge took the lead and led his men to rush over.
…
"Team leader, your marksmanship is amazing." Hao Zai gave Cheng Qianfan a thumbs up.
Just now, it was Cheng Qianfan who killed the Japanese light machine gunner with one shot and helped the Shanghai station's action team resolve obstacles to progress.
"The Japanese are more rampant than we imagined." Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy expression and gritted his teeth.
He also did not expect that the Japanese would dare to carry Taisho 11 light machine guns into the French Concession.
"Team leader, do you want to come closer?" Hao Zai asked.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. If he got closer, he would enter the fighting area.
In addition, he is now on the second floor of a private house, where he can see the outside, and it is difficult to see him from outside. This can ensure to the greatest extent that his identity will not be exposed, or cause some people, including Araki Harima, to The suspicion of acquaintances.
Although he is now showing off as Xiao Mian, he still has to be careful. After all, makeup is not a change of appearance. If someone familiar with him notices him, he cannot be sure that some details are not done well, which will lead to suspicion, or even It's exposure.
