Now, all the Japanese should have gone to No. 76 Dashugen, Central Road, right?
Number 76.
Li Shiqun lived at No. 76 in Nanjing. The future headquarters of Wang Puppet Agents was first chosen to be at No. 76 Daxi Road, Shanghai, and later moved to No. 76 Jisi Feier Road.
No. 76.
Soon, Meng Shaoyuan will have a new opponent in Shanghai.
However, there is no need to consider this matter for the time being. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese seem to be hungry wolves smelling blood and heading straight to No. 76, the time has come for Meng Shaoyuan to retreat.
"Every afternoon, the Japanese security brigade would go outside Nanjing to conduct a two-hour manhunt..."
This is the information Lin Xuan provided to Meng Shaoyuan.
The so-called security brigade is actually the Second Transportation Surveillance Team of the Japanese Army's Chongtō Detachment that came to Nanjing to assist in management.
This is an "old friend".
It is also the best target to utilize.
Those Japanese spies were crowded at No. 76, and Meng Shaoyuan could calmly start his retreat plan.
The Security Brigade is not difficult to find, and is also located near Caodu Lane.
This is the most dangerous part of the journey.
However, when Meng Shaoyuan passed the military command office, he boldly stopped and took a look.
It was empty inside.
He smiled.
At the door, he communicated with the soldiers on guard in fluent Japanese.
"Second Lieutenant Xiaolin?" the sentry lowered his guard: "Go in, if you are a few minutes late you will have to come tomorrow to find him."
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan entered, he saw Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin who was directing the soldiers to get on the truck.
"Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin." Meng Shaoyuan shouted loudly.
Xiao Lin looked back and was startled, then suddenly realized: "Ah, it's Rukawa-kun."
That old friend whom the Colonel met on the train.
"It's great to see you." Meng Shaoyuan handed a large bag to Xiao Lin: "I have washed all your clothes for you."
"Ah, Rukawa-kun, you are so polite. You even brought it to me specially." Xiao Lin took the clothes with a smile.
"Are you going out?"
"Yes, Chinese guerrillas have been operating near Nanjing, and we carry out encirclement and suppression campaigns every day."
"Guerrillas? Chinese guerrillas?" Meng Shaoyuan immediately showed an excited expression: "It's really exciting. Second Lieutenant Xiaolin, please take me with you to gain experience."
Lieutenant Xiaolin smiled.
It's so childish and cute, what's there to be excited about?
However, there was no danger. The Chinese guerrillas generally did not dare to attack the Japanese regular army. The so-called encirclement and suppression was just a formality.
Moreover, this Rukawa Kaede is a lifelong friend of Colonel Hiraga. It seems that Colonel Hiraga likes this young man very much, and he can also take this opportunity to please Colonel Hiraga.
Second Lieutenant Xiaolin agreed without much hesitation: "Get in the car, Rukawa-kun."
…
There are two trucks in total.
This was the retreat plan that Meng Shaoyuan had designed early in the morning.
TRAIN STATION?
There must be agents out there looking for him.
So the train station is the most dangerous escape route.
We had to use Japanese trucks to get out.
The inspections at the city gate were so severe that the Chinese had no way of leaving the city.
Several foreigners were also subject to very strict inspection, and their luggage was almost searched over and over again.
However, two trucks from the Public Security Brigade whizzed past as if there was no one around.
There are two agents at the city gate.
They would never have thought that the key criminal they wanted to arrest was on top of the truck...
…
Meng Shaoyuan was chatting and laughing there, constantly telling Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin "interesting things" about Kyoto.
In Second Lieutenant Kobayashi's perception, people in Kyoto are very arrogant and never look down on "country people", but Second Lieutenant Kobayashi came from rural Japan.
However, "Rukawa-kun" is completely different from those arrogant Kyoto people.
No wonder His Excellency Colonel likes him so much.
"The place we passed just now is Shogun Mountain." Second Lieutenant Kobayashi introduced enthusiastically: "During the Battle of Nanjing, a regiment of our Imperial Japanese Army disarmed more than 10,000 Chinese soldiers."
"What an amazing achievement." Meng Shaoyuan was full of praise.
It should start soon, if Lin Xuan successfully sends out the telegram according to his order.
There is only one chance. If his people cannot complete the mission according to the deployment, then he will be forced to return to Nanjing with the convoy.
At that point, it will be really difficult to leave.
"boom"!
The motorcade had just passed by when an explosion suddenly came from behind.
Both trucks stopped immediately.
At this time, the Japanese army's good combat qualities were immediately reflected.
The Japanese detachment is not a formal establishment, it is just a temporary combat unit, usually named after the commander. Sometimes the detachment leader can be a great lieutenant general, sometimes he is just a mere major, and will be disbanded after completing the mission. .
But even so, these Japanese troops, formerly known as the Second Transportation Surveillance Team of the Chongteng Detachment, responded extremely quickly when Ziah was suddenly attacked, without any panic.
They jumped out of the truck in an orderly manner and established a defensive perimeter as soon as possible.
Not even anyone made a sound of panic.
A dense burst of bullets hit here.
Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin pulled out his command knife and pointed towards the place where the gunfire rang out.
Immediately, the Taisho 11-year-old light machine gun carried out effective fire suppression.
Meng Shaoyuan was still a little emotional.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, despite the setback at the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army was very powerful and had excellent combat qualities and psychology.
As I have seen in movies and TV shows, once the Japanese army is ambushed, they will panic and become embarrassed, at least during this period, it is unlikely to happen.
This Japanese army did not rush to counterattack, but observed the attacker's location and firepower distribution, and continued to suppress firepower.
"I was bragging to you just now that the Chinese guerrillas did not dare to attack us." At such a moment, Second Lieutenant Xiaolin actually had the intention to joke: "I really made you laugh, Rukawa-kun."
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly looked extremely frightened, and even his body began to tremble.
Lieutenant Xiaolin also noticed this.
He is really cowardly. If such a person is placed in the army and trained under his own hands for a few years, he will soon grow up and become a real imperial soldier.
Rows of grenades were thrown.
Although there was no accuracy in the explosions that filled the sky, the momentum was astonishing, and it gave Second Lieutenant Xiaolin the feeling that this guerrilla force should have extremely sufficient ammunition.
How would he feel if he knew that the immediate boss of this guerrilla group was beside him?
The armed forces under Meng Shaoyuan can be summarized in one word:
rich!
Very rich!
If someone had already foreseen the war and had started to stockpile ammunition, what was that?
Rich and willful!
Second Lieutenant Xiaolin finally stopped laughing and frowned: "This Chinese guerrilla group is different. Mr. Rukawa, there is some danger here. You find a safe place to hide. When we annihilate them, I will come to you." Convergence.”
Meng Shaoyuan was waiting for these words. He said tremblingly: "That is really troublesome for you. The empire's military fortunes will last forever."
"Go ahead and be careful."
…
"Detachment leader, how long will we continue to fight?"
"Fight as long as you can." Zhu Yanni looked at the opposite side with the binoculars.
It was him, she saw that familiar figure:
Meng Shaoyuan!
The surrounding team members kept throwing grenades and grenades without restraint.
Fan Zhenbang next to him was visiting the most real battlefield for the first time.
At first, he was scared and his body was shaking.
But when he fired the first shot and threw the first grenade, he became bolder in an instant.
Some people may seem timid like mice at ordinary times, but when they go to the battlefield, they will grow up immediately.
Some people usually look bold and courageous, but when they are on the battlefield, they turn into a coward.
As Meng Shaoyuan's godson, Fan Zhenbang is undoubtedly the former.
He only had one thought in his mind: his godfather was a great man who could think highly of him and accept him as his godson. He must not embarrass his godfather.
Fan Zhenbang was fourteen years old at the time. This ambush was the first battle he participated in.
He didn't kill a single Japanese, but after this battle, he suddenly became an adult.
According to folklore, there are "seven tigers, six leopards and five little dragons" in the army. Fan Zhenbang is one of the future five little dragons in the army!
"Godmother, have you seen your godfather?"
Fan Zhenbang asked while gritting his teeth and pulling the trigger.
The word "godmother" made Zhu Yanni feel happy, but she said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, you just joined the military system, you don't understand the rules."
"I know, godmother."
With a smile on her lips, Zhu Yanni raised the telescope again.
Meng Shaoyuan has disappeared.
Just hold on a little longer.
Every time he persists for a while, it gives Meng Shaoyuan more opportunities to escape...
…
Meng Shaoyuan almost sprinted there.
The faster you run, the better, and the further away you are from here, the better.
He had already put on enough drama, and once the Japanese caught up with him, he would have every excuse to say that he was in a panic and didn't choose the right route.
…
"The enemy has begun to retreat. Do you want to pursue him?"
"Don't attack without authorization." Second Lieutenant Xiaolin was still very cautious: "The enemy has strong firepower and may have an ambush. Search slowly and advance."
As soon as he gave the order, he thought of something: "You, go find Rukawa Kaede immediately. It's his first time here and the terrain is unfamiliar. You must not let him fall into the hands of the Chinese."
Unfortunately, he could not find "Rukawa Kaede" until dark.
Less than half a month later, Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin was transferred to the front-line unit, and this became a regret for him in the years to come.
The life and death of "Rukawa-kun" is unknown, and there is a high possibility that he was captured or killed by the Chinese.
That's all his own responsibility. If he could let "Rukawa-kun" stay with him that day, maybe such a tragedy wouldn't have happened. That's all his own responsibility.
"Rukawa-kun, I'm sorry."
Every time he had free time during the war, the figure of that young man would always appear in Second Lieutenant Xiaolin's mind.
