It was quiet all around.
It was already late at night, but Japanese soldiers could still be seen on the streets, as well as the constant screams and wails.
Meng Shaoyuan did not dare to change into the Japanese military uniform. Otherwise, God knows where a group of Japanese soldiers would rush out on the street and stab you with bayonets without even asking.
It would be such an injustice if he really had to die like that.
But there are risks. Wearing these clothes, what if a military agent sees him and shoots his head off?
Which way to die is more unjust?
On the road, there were constant patrols and interrogations by Japanese troops. The pass that Koichi Hahara gave him was a big help, and he got through everything without any danger.
"Sir."
Arriving at the agreed place, Wu Dafei flashed out of the darkness, still a little panicked, and kept looking around there.
"Follow me, don't be afraid." Meng Shaoyuan smiled, seeming to comfort him.
"Hey, hey, sir, come with me."
Wu Dafei looked around again.
Then, he quickly disappeared into the darkness with Meng Shaoyuan...
…
"Hello, sir!"
In an abandoned warehouse in Xicheng, Nanjing, Meng Shaoyuan finally met Huo Kun and the No. 1 Squadron he commanded.
There were only five people in total.
Then, Meng Shaoyuan saw a familiar face and couldn't help blurting out: "Lin Xuan?"
That's right, it's Lin Xuan.
He just became a lot thinner.
"Chief Meng!"
The words that came out of Lin Xuan's mouth were choked with sobs.
It was as if I had been away from home for a long time and suddenly saw my relatives again.
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but ask: "Didn't I already ask you to evacuate?"
"Yes, I was planning to evacuate. Commander Qi..." When she mentioned the name, Lin Xuan almost burst into tears again: "Commander Qi needed help because he had something to do, so I stayed again..."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Huo Kunhe, where are the others?"
"There are only a few left..."
Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "A squadron..."
"Sir." Huo Kunhe smiled bitterly: "We used to be a complete squadron, but we helped the Chinese army explore the road and break through outside Nanjing, and many people were killed. The Japanese army occupied Nanjing, and we lurked back. We encountered the Japanese army a few days ago. , the whole army was almost wiped out. Everyone is here. If you come a few days later, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see us."
Meng Shaoyuan's brows knitted together: "It is very unwise to lurk back to Nanjing at this time. The Japanese kill people everywhere there, and even if you are not agents, you will still be massacred. Now that the Japanese know your existence , will launch an even more frenzied pursuit."
"I know, sir." Although Huo Kunhe's voice was not loud, it was extremely firm: "The commander-in-chief is dead. He died in the hands of Tian Qi. We must avenge him no matter what."
Tianqi, Tianqi again.
These people's hatred for Tian Qi has reached their core.
"Chief Meng." Lin Xuan took a deep breath: "Tian Qi saved my life when he was in Shanghai. I am very grateful to him. But I saw with my own eyes that he killed Commander Qi, one knife, and another. ...I have never seen anyone more vicious than him..."
"We have a total of four squadrons coming in." Huo Kunhe said: "The goal is the same, resolutely assassinate Tian Qi, avenge Commander Qi, and never let him leave Nanjing alive. Sir, we know that he was once yours Subordinates, and we have known your reputation before, so we asked the commander to tell us how to get rid of this big traitor!"
me?
Let me take you to assassinate Tian Qi?
Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a while and then said: "I also want to command you, but I have another special mission when I come to Nanjing this time. And based on the current situation in Nanjing, I don't think it is the best time for an assassination."
It could be seen that Huo Kun and them were a little disappointed.
"Listen." Meng Shaoyuan said patiently: "This war will not end overnight, but will last for a long, long, long time. Tian Qi must be killed, but not at this uncertain time. . A squadron, in order to assassinate Tian Qi, only a few of you are left. This is not worth it, not worth it at all.
Tian Qi will get the retribution he deserves, I guarantee it. However, it must be implemented at the right time, at the right place, and after careful planning. The four squadrons cannot all be left in Nanjing. But I can assure you that the iron-blooded rape order against Tian Qi will be issued soon! "
All people's spirits were startled.
Once one falls under the military commander's "iron-blooded hoeing order", that person will become the public enemy of the entire military commander. Not only in Nanjing and Shanghai, as long as the target is found anywhere, we will use all our strength to assassinate him!
Then, the previous sacrifice becomes valuable!
Tian Qi, take care of yourself.
Meng Shaoyuan said silently in his heart. When Tian Qi killed Qi Qilu, he had become a public enemy. As long as he lived for one day, the assassinations against him would never stop.
And when he gets the iron-blooded rape order, he will fall into endless trouble.
But from the first day he lurked, he should have been mentally prepared for this...
"I order you." Meng Shaoyuan's expression became serious: "From now on, lurk deeply and not have any direct conflict with the Japanese army. Once there is an opportunity, immediately evacuate Nanjing to avoid heavy losses."
"Sir, are you going to hand over Nanjing to them like this?" Huo Kunhe was really unwilling.
"Give it to them?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "It's not that simple. When the Japanese feel that they have established a foothold in Nanjing, they will definitely find ways to restore order in Nanjing. That will be the moment for you to become active again. At the same time, the puppet regime is about to Established in Nanjing, your mission is not to let them stop for a day.
Temporary concession is not cowardice. When the number of assassinations directed against the Japanese dropped significantly, our enemies would think we were retreating and scared. Their guard will gradually relax, and the flaws exposed will become less and less. But at this moment, you are like taut arrows that will fly out at any time and pierce the enemy's heart! "
"Yes, since the chief has ordered so, we will definitely obey it."
Huo Kunhe's answer made Meng Shaoyuan frown again.
This was not because he accepted the order willingly, but because he was at a higher level than him.
He was brought out by Quan Lu alone, and Quan Lu was very kind to him. Revenge was always on his mind.
Once he finds an opportunity, he won't miss it.
Originally, after the deaths of Quan Lu and Ni Wei Zhenzhen, and the superiors did not appoint a new commander in time, Meng Shao originally wanted to take over and temporarily appointed Huo Kunhe as the acting commander-in-chief.
Now, he overturned his idea. This person is not suitable.
"Your next task is not only to lurk deeply and wait for opportunities to break out, but also to try your best to find the scattered brothers and develop the squadron." Meng Shaoyuan's expression became serious: "Since we are fighting against the enemy, we must There will be sacrifices. If Huo Kunhe is unfortunately killed in battle, I have decided that Lin Xuan will temporarily act as squadron leader."
"yes!"
This time Huo Kunhe agreed without hesitation.
He is not afraid of death, not at all. From the moment he decided to avenge Qi Qilu and lurk back to Nanjing at great risk, he was ready to sacrifice.
Meng Shaoyuan's judgment was correct.
On March 21, 1938, Huo Kunhe went out alone and saw two Japanese soldiers bullying an innocent Chinese civilian. He immediately drew his gun and shot.
The sound of gunfire quickly attracted nearby Japanese military police.
Huo Kunhe retreated while fighting. When he retreated to a nearby two-story building, he emptied the last bullet in his gun. Huo Kunhe took out a grenade and committed suicide.
He is a good guy, but he is by no means a qualified agent.
By that time, the 1st Squadron had grown to twelve men and had restored contact with the remaining three squadrons. Under the direction of the Japanese behind the scenes, a "reform government of the Republic of China" that gathers political forces from all factions will be announced in seven days' time at the auditorium of the former National Government in Nanjing.
The four squadrons jointly formulated a plan and decided to give the puppet regime a "meeting gift" to undermine the establishment of the puppet regime to the greatest extent.
All preparations have been made.
But just because Huo Kun and Yi Yi couldn't say it was wrong, but at least looked at it from the perspective of an agent, they acted erratically, forcing all the squadrons to evacuate urgently, ruining the plan and going bankrupt.
The 1st Squadron was hit again.
At the critical moment, according to Meng Shaoyuan's previous order, Lin Xuan urgently took over the position of captain of the First Squadron. She has never forgotten that day. Before Meng Shaoyuan left, he specifically called her outside to tell her what she said:
"Tian Qi must be killed and revenge must be avenged, but not at the cost of a heavy sacrifice. When encountering anything, you need to be calm. Now we do not lack passionate warriors. What we lack is the ability to use the brain and abandon hatred to think. People. From Shanghai to Nanjing, we have paid a heavy price. A large number of experienced and outstanding agents have been sacrificed, and new agents have not been trained.
I brought you out of the Hangzhou Police School, so you have certain qualifications, and you have also accumulated a lot of experience while working in Shanghai. If you are asked to lead the team alone, it is very dangerous in a special place like Nanjing. The first thing is to ensure the safety of yourself and the team members. Remember my words firmly and don't forget them for a moment! "
"I understand, Chief Meng." Lin Xuan's answer was very firm: "I will take good care of myself. At least before Tian Qi dies, I will try my best to keep myself alive."
Tianqi, Tianqi.
Meng Shaoyuan really wanted to tell Lin Xuan at this moment that Tian Qi was not a traitor, he was an upright man, but he couldn't, he had to keep this secret in his heart!
Tian Qi is lurking with a top-secret mission. The fewer people who know his true identity, the better.
Lin Xuan has not yet reached such qualifications.
At least it’s not there yet!
