The two softened bodies were quickly dragged into the yard by the team members. Two team members wearing the same clothes quickly stood at the door, pretending to be thugs on duty. The door that had just been opened was also closed again...
All this happened within half a minute. If it weren't for the smell of blood still lingering in the air, no one would have imagined that a battle had just broken out here.
"Captain, all the thugs in the room have been eliminated. They were all killed with one blow!" A leader of the assault team ran to Duan Peng and reported.
"Two Japanese samurai were also killed!" The leader of the third assault team came over and reported.
"All the threatening targets in the front yard were killed. Several servants were all tied up, stuffed in their mouths, and locked in a room... They will definitely not be able to get out without help!" said the leader of the first assault team.
"Enter the backyard..." Duan Peng ordered decisively.
"Kill all the targets of the operation, tie up the others and lock them together. Remember to wear hoods and don't let anyone see us!"
After killing the most threatening thugs and warriors, the people in the backyard were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without any threat.
After a while, Duan Peng received the good news that the operation was over.
Watanabe Yangxing's study room is a room that no one can enter except Watanabe himself. Duan Peng stared at the bookshelf on the wall when he walked in.
The layout of the room is very simple, with nothing else except the table and bookshelf. It doesn't look like there is a treasure in it, but the Japanese guard him like a treasure and don't allow any outsiders to get close, indicating that there is something going on in the room.
Normally, bookshelves are the easiest place to hide secrets.
Duan Peng strode over and carefully inspected every item on it...
"Clang..." A collision sound suddenly sounded in the room, and the bookshelf standing in front of him actually moved...
After a while, a hidden compartment embedded in the wall appeared where the bookshelf had been. There were two small boxes inside, and they were locked. It was obvious at a glance that there were treasures hidden inside.
Duan Peng quickly used a dagger to pry open the copper lock and opened the box. Dozens of small yellow croakers were packed neatly inside, and his eyes were almost blinded.
"This is all the people's wealth and wealth that the little devils have taken by force. They must not be allowed to take it back to Japan!" Duan Peng suppressed his excitement and said.
"Each team member carries ten of them and gives them to the firepower team and artillery team after they go overseas..."
"We will retreat immediately. There is still a target waiting for us to deal with in the middle of the night. Everyone must hurry up!"
The next morning, Taiyuan City slowly became lively as usual as the flow of people increased.
Watanabe & Co., Ltd. is no exception.
At dawn, many people lined up at the door to buy salt. At nine o'clock in the morning, hundreds of people had gathered in front of the foreign bank, but the foreign bank still did not open...
The people who were waiting to buy salt thought that Watanabe Co., Ltd. was going to do something wrong again, so they took the opportunity to raise the price. They gradually became restless and kept beating the door of the foreign company to let your people open the door to sell salt...
Five minutes passed, and there was no movement at the closed door of the foreign bank...
Ten minutes have passed, and the door of the foreign bank is still closed, with no intention of opening it.
People who want to buy salt are becoming more and more restless, and knocking on the door has unknowingly turned into pushing the door...
"Rumble..."
The closed door of the foreign bank finally failed to hold on and collapsed...
"Dead people... the people in the foreign bank have been killed, everyone run away..." The people who were the first to rush into the foreign bank shouted with fear on their faces...
In less than five minutes, a group of Japanese and puppet troops appeared at the entrance of the foreign bank. Some people were guarding the door, and some rushed into the foreign bank to check the internal situation..."
The Japs Major who led the team also walked in with a very solemn expression.
It is well known that Watanabe & Co. has a relationship with the military.
Now that something happened to a foreign company in our own defense area, if the higher-ups investigate it, I will bear the responsibility...
If you want to survive this crisis, you must find out what happened before asking about it from above, find the culprit, and channel the anger from above, so that you can survive and keep your position.
Take control of Watanabe Yoko and quickly walk in...
The lieutenant who arrived first came over to meet him with a very solemn expression: "Sir..."
"The situation is a bit bad..."
"All of Watanabe Yoko's thugs and samurai were killed... Watanabe himself also died..."
"The servants and women in the foreign company were all tied up and locked in rooms..."
"The enemy used only cold weapons in their operations...killing them with one knife...must have been done by veterans..."
"I asked the surviving servants and women whether they could clearly see the identity of their opponents..."
"But the other party wore a hood during the operation, and no valuable information was found..."
"Watanabe's study was tampered with, and everything hidden in the secret room was taken away!"
"We believe that the sales profits of Watanabe Yang Company are hidden in the secret room. At least one hundred and small yellow croakers were all snatched away by the opponent... From this analysis: the opponent's purpose of raiding the foreign company should be to steal money!"
"Sir..." When the lieutenant was still preparing to report, a second lieutenant hurried towards them.
"This is a letter we found on Watanabe..."
"It was left by the culprit, but I don't know Chinese, so I don't know what's written on it?"
The Major is half a China expert. After reading the letter, the solemn expression on his face not only did not relieve him, but actually deepened.
Looking at the lieutenant, he shook his head and said, "This accident is more complicated than I thought!"
"You continue to seal off the foreign bank, dispose of the corpses in the foreign bank, check more carefully, and collect as much information about the enemy as possible. The more the better!"
"I'm going to report this to the military headquarters now!"
"This letter in my hand can only be handled by the military department, and it must be reported immediately!"
At the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan, the commander received the sad news that four businessmen had been killed just as he was about to have breakfast. The large table of delicious food in front of him suddenly became boring.
"Remove everything on the table...I won't eat..." Shinozuka Yoshio ordered with a stern face.
"Four foreigners were killed in one night... These foreigners were all very influential businessmen in Taiyuan City. If the culprits are not identified and brought to justice, other foreigners in the city will definitely be panicked!"
"Chief of Staff... I leave the task of finding the culprit to you. The faster the better, all the garrison in the city will be at your disposal..."
"Whether the city gates are sealed and the whole city is under martial law depends on your wishes!"
"But the city gate cannot be sealed for more than two days, otherwise the expats in the city will definitely make a fuss..."
"Starting from tonight, the number of martial law and patrol troops in the city will be at least doubled, especially the troops patrolling the expatriate settlements!"
"Another notice to the overseas Chinese in the city: everyone should try not to go out until the matter is investigated clearly!"
"The thugs, warriors, and escorts in our hands are all on heightened alert to prevent the enemy from attacking them again."
"Your Excellency, Commander...the captain of the city's east garrison has an important report and is already at the door... He said it is related to the overseas Chinese who were attacked in the city, and he found important evidence left by the culprit!"
Yoshio Shinozuka was worried about this matter.
The sooner the troops catch the culprit, the better they can minimize the impact of this incident. Order quickly!
"Let him come in quickly..."
The major was very nervous. If it hadn't been for the murder of the expatriate, he would have had almost no chance to meet Yoshio Shinozuka.
It took him a while to recover from the shock, and he handed over the envelope and reported: "Report to your Excellency, Commander... This is a letter left by the enemy at Watanabe Corporation!"
"I can understand Chinese. Judging from the content of the letter: the culprit who killed four foreigners last night is probably related to the Eighth Route Army!"
Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't read Chinese and asked directly: "What is written on it?"
"Why do you think they are related to the Eighth Route Army!"
The major opened the letter and explained: "The letter says that they are avenging the tragic death of the Chinese people in western Shanxi!"
"If the imperial army continues to massacre Chinese people in northwestern Shanxi, their hunting operations in Taiyuan City will not end!"
Before the chief of staff left, he heard the threat in the letter and punched the table, dissatisfied!
"Your Majesty Commander... these people are so arrogant that they dare to threaten the imperial army..."
"I will arrange troops to search the whole city now... and try to find the culprits within one day, so that the Eighth Route Army can see the huge price of threatening us!"
Although Yoshio Shinozuka didn't bang the table, the angry expression on his face showed that he must be in a bad mood at the moment.
Suppressing his anger, he ordered the chief of staff: "Then I will give you one day..."
"Find those enemies at all costs and kill them!"
"From now on, the city gates will be closed, the whole city will be under martial law, and a chief of staff will be carrying him to search for enemies!"
"We have to dig deep to find them, otherwise we will definitely lose face!"
After a while, the news of the remaining three expatriates who were killed also reached the military headquarters.
Every murdered expatriate has a threatening letter left by the special forces...
Yoshio Shinozuka's hatred for the special forces became even stronger. Although the chief of staff had been ordered to find someone, he still added an order: "Tell the chief of staff... I will hand over the military police to him too!"
"We must decide that we would rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one person, and catch all the enemies who sneak attack on the overseas Chinese..."
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo[[s]. Compensate for your own life.
After a while, the lively streets became quiet, with only a pair of anti-Japanese puppet troops patrolling back and forth...
"Open the door, open the door immediately, the imperial army is conducting a routine inspection!" The puppet soldiers' shouts soon sounded in the streets and alleys.
If you open the door a little slowly, these Japanese devils will knock the door open and punch and kick the people in the room. There are also some Japanese devils who are trying to get things done, and when they see good things during inspection, they put them in their pockets...
The Japs are not surprised by these behaviors...as long as they don't delay business.
Besides, as the master of these two devils, no matter how many good things they snatched during the operation, they would all have a share in the end, so it would be even less possible for them to take care of them!
