After the door was fully opened, Nomura stared at the empty underground vault in stunned silence, and his brain immediately shut down.
He looked blankly at the bank staff and bodyguards around him, and asked mechanically: "What did you see?"
"Manager, the gold and money in the vault are gone. The vault has been stolen!" the bodyguard said with a trembling voice.
Nomura let out an "ouch", turned around, climbed up the stairs, and rushed to his office.
He rushed into the office in a hurry. In his panic, he failed to pick up the microphone several times, and his hand that shook the handle was so trembling that he could not hold down the handle.
The phone at the Japanese First Army Headquarters rang rapidly, and a Japanese staff officer picked up the phone, "Moses Moses, this is the First Army Headquarters."
Hisahito Nomura's trembling voice came from the microphone, "I... I am... the manager of Zhengjin Bank... Hisahito Nomura, please inform... your Excellency the new commander immediately,
The bank vault was stolen, and all the gold, oceans, American knives and military notes were all missing! "
The Japanese staff officer was shocked. He quickly hung up the phone and rushed into Yutsuka Yoshio's office without even knocking on the door.
"Bagaya Road, the military discipline of the First Army has become so lax? You don't even know how to knock on the door?"
Yutsuka Yoshio was furious and roared loudly.
The Japs staff officer doesn't care whether he is angry or not. You must know that Zhengjin Bank is not only the Japs' helper in collecting gold, but also handles all the First Army's military pay.
What's more important is that all the savings of the Japanese advisers are deposited in Zhengjin Bank!
"Your Excellency, Commander, something big has happened. I just received a call from the manager of Zhengjin Bank. All the gold and other coins that were stolen from the bank vault are gone!"
"Nani?"
Yutsuka Yoshio's angry face showed an expression of disbelief. The bank was very tightly guarded. Besides, it was the largest bank in Shanxi Province.
Even if he didn't understand the specific situation when he first arrived, he knew that the contents of the vault could not be quietly stolen overnight.
"Your Excellency Commander, Manager Nomura hopes that you can come over immediately!"
Seeing Yutsuka Yoshio motionless, the Japanese staff officer felt very panicked and couldn't help but urge him.
Yutsuka Yoshio looked at him deeply, "Arrange a car to go to the bank immediately," and walked out.
"By the way, go and ask Major Nagato Ichime to come with me!"
"Hi."
The Japanese convoy quickly set off from the headquarters and arrived at Zhengjin Bank ten minutes later. The place had been blocked by the Japanese and there were almost no people on the street.
Yutsuka Yoshio got out of the car first, and a person got out of the car behind him. This person's face was a little abnormally white, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he exuded a dangerous light.
He quickly came to Yoshio Yutsuka, "I don't know what the commander's instructions were when he asked me to come to the bank?"
Yoshio Yutsuka explained with a serious face: "Thank you for your hard work, Major Colonel. There was a theft at Zhengjin Bank, and everything in the vault disappeared overnight.
Major Nagato is a disciple of Admiral Dohi Madoka, so please come and take a look, hoping to find some clues! "
Changdu heard the words and looked up at the bank and the surrounding buildings. Little did he know that a gun was pointing at his head in the distance.
"Your Majesty Commander, no one can move so much gold and ocean away overnight without alerting the imperial army.
So they must still be nearby. I think the scope of your martial law is too small. The surrounding area of several kilometers should be included.
Once any problem is discovered, you can shoot directly, as long as you leave one alive! "
"Yo Xi! Major Changdu's suggestion is very good. Why don't we go inside the bank and take a look."
Yutsuka Yoshio showed a rare smile and praised, and at the same time made a gesture towards him to enter.
"Bang" a gunshot sounded, and just as he was about to enter the door, Changdu glanced at a bloody hole in the back of his head. The bullet flew out of his forehead, taking away a large amount of flesh and blood, and his entire front face became a bloody mess.
The Japanese guards quickly protected Yutsuka Yoshio from entering the bank gate, and the other Japanese rushed towards Mingying City through the trajectory of bullets.
Ming Yingcheng saw Changdu's fallen body through the scope, put away the 98K and left. The underground party had already arranged a retreat route.
Wen Xin, who was 200 meters to the left of Mingying City, looked at the corpse of Nagato Ichime, put away the gun in his hand, walked downstairs in tatters, entered the alley and disappeared without a trace.
An hour later, Ming Yingcheng returned to Jishi Pharmacy under the cover of the underground party. Within a few minutes, he also walked in with 98K of Wenxin in his hand.
According to the original plan of the underground party, no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, they would leave the city immediately.
However, when the Japanese knew that the bank had been stolen, they had already closed the bank. No one would go out without a warrant from the Japanese headquarters.
Ming Yingcheng looked at the Wen Gu brothers and sisters in the room and said movedly: "Thank you two little comrades for your help. I didn't expect Changdu Yimu to actually show up. Fortunately, everything went well!"
"Hey, don't say it if you are so polite. You gave me the gun. This is a thank you!" Wenxin waved his hands and smiled indifferently.
Lao Zhang didn't say anything when he came back from Mingying City. Now he asked cautiously,
"So, you really robbed the Japanese bank? And the arsenal, by the way?"
"Comrade Lao Zhang, you can't joke about revolutionary work. Although we are not a revolutionary party, we can't talk nonsense when we are risking our lives.
If you have any arrangements, go ahead and do it quickly. The Japanese will soon search the whole city, and we have to leave immediately!
By the way, Mr. Ming, do you want to come with us? "
Wen Gu said to Ming Yingcheng.
"No, I'll leave by train!" Ming Yingcheng shook his head.
"Then you definitely can't leave. The Japs haven't found the person who stole the gold. There won't be peace in Yangqu for a short time, and the train won't run again.
So you'd better come with us. When we leave the city, I'll take you to Yucheng. It's best for you to get on the bus from there! "
Lao Zhang also advised him, because Yangqu City is very dangerous now, Ming Yingcheng decided to go with the Wen Gu brothers and sisters without much thought.
The three of them quietly went out and went directly to Zhou Nian's house. Zhou Nian and the others had left the city last night, so there was no one in the house.
Wen Gu looked at Ming Yingcheng and asked curiously, "I wonder if Mr. Ming can speak Japanese?"
"Of course I will, I once learned from a little boy from Kyoto!"
"That would be great," Wen Gu said and went into the house and took out three sets of Japanese clothes. "It depends on Mr. Ming whether we can get out of the city smoothly!"
The three of them changed their clothes, and Wen Gu led them to the back door. A Japanese truck parked quietly outside the door.
"How's it going? Mr. Ming, get in the car!"
