Tang Cheng relied on his new skills to perfectly avoid the pedestrians appearing along the way, but in Zhou Changshui's heart, he was puzzled. "I don't care who you are, and I don't ask so many questions. I just want to know, do you have a private and safe place to stay in Hongkou District? If so, I will send you there. If not, then you can only follow me. Go squat in a cave!" Turning into an alley from the street entrance, Tang Cheng finally stopped.
If it were the first time he met Tang Cheng, Zhou Changshui would never say anything to Tang Cheng. However, after experiencing a series of things, Zhou Changshui had concluded that Tang Cheng was definitely not a trap set up by the Japanese. After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Changshui whispered, "I know someone in Hongkou District. He may be able to help me!" After hearing this, Tang Cheng did not continue to ask, but only asked Zhou Changshui's address, and then reached out to take Zhou Changshui away from him. He pulled himself up in the wheelchair and quickly left the alley with Zhou Changshui on his back.
Not long after the two people left Tangcheng, there was a burst of noise from the direction of the Army Hospital. The military policeman who was seconded to the next street on duty returned to the Army Hospital and found the few military policemen lying dead at the entrance of the hospital. Shocked, they immediately closed the hospital door, and then discovered that people were also dead in the hospital building, not only the military police on duty, but also the dozen or so grassroots officers who were about to return to the mainland.
The alarm was sounded immediately, and the doctors, nurses, and military police who had been sleeping on duty were all awakened. The military police on duty began to count the number of people in the hospital according to the roster. When the Special Higher Education Department and the Military Police Headquarters received the news, Tang Cheng had already rushed to a residential area with Zhou Changshui on his back. Following Zhou Changshui's instructions, Tang Cheng knocked on the door of a small courtyard. Not long after Tang Cheng knocked on the door, lights appeared in the originally dark courtyard.
The sound of slightly light footsteps appeared in Tang Cheng's ears. Without looking at Zhou Changshui's slightly excited face, Tang Cheng just stepped back slightly, and the pistol in his right hand was held flat on his waist. This place was pointed out by Zhou Changshui. Tangcheng didn't know anyone who lived here, and this was Hongkou District, so he still needed to be vigilant. "Who is it!" A voice came from the courtyard. Tang Cheng frowned slightly because the other person spoke Japanese.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he naturally turned around and looked at Zhou Changshui, who was sitting by the door. He was not worried that this was a trap, he just didn't want to keep it unclear. "Yamada-kun, it's me, I'm Zhou Changshui!" Zhou Changshui didn't notice the expression on Tang Cheng's face, but after hearing the voices in the courtyard, he whispered his identity to the crack in the door. The closed courtyard door was immediately opened by the people inside, and what appeared in Tang Cheng's sight was a middle-aged man wearing a Japanese kimono.
"Old Zhou, why is it you? Haven't you already..." The middle-aged man, whom Zhou Changshui called Weishan Tianjun, opened the courtyard door and saw Zhou Changshui sitting outside. Tang Cheng carefully observed this man's reaction. Yamada obviously knew Zhou Changshui, and the tone of his voice suggested that he was not familiar with Zhou Changshui. Tang Cheng didn't interrupt, he just helped Zhou Changshui up from the ground and went directly into the yard.
Both Tang Cheng and Zhou Changshui were wearing Japanese military uniforms. Yamada who opened the door only recognized Zhou Changshui, but he was unfamiliar with Tang Cheng. "Mr. Yamada is the representative of the Japanese Communist Party in Shanghai. He himself is also a member of the Anti-War Alliance!" After Zhou Changshui, who was holding back the pain, was helped into the room by Tang Cheng, he completely relaxed and took the initiative to smile at Tang Cheng. Introducing Yamada’s identity. Tang Cheng knew about the Anti-War Alliance, but he didn't know that there was a Communist organization in Japan.
"Yamada-kun, I was indeed caught by the Special High School Division, but I was lucky. Because I was too seriously injured, I was detained in the Army Hospital by the Special High School Division. I was just rescued tonight." Yamada said after opening the door. Those words made Zhou Changshui realize something that he might not know, so after Yamada followed him into the house, Zhou Changshui took the initiative to mention the process of his arrest and escape.
Yamada, who originally had great doubts in his heart, finally relaxed. Seeing the pistol that the Japanese named Yamada took out from behind, Tang Cheng's eyes became less wary. Unlike Zhou Changshui, Tang Cheng remained silent after entering the house, and did not take the initiative to reveal his identity. While waiting for Yamada to take the initiative to ask, Tang Cheng stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"Now that you are safe, I have to leave! Just pretend that what happened tonight has never happened. I just did it casually. I didn't mean to save you specifically." Tangcheng's In the opinion of Mr. Yamada, his attitude was extremely bad. Not only did he ignore his proactive inquiry, but he also spoke to Zhou Changshui with a reluctant expression and tone.
Tang Cheng was a person who made a decision and had to act on it. Since he had already said goodbye and left, he ignored Zhou Changshui's attempts to stay and just turned around and left. "Old Zhou, that person is not one of yours?" After watching Tang Cheng disappear into the night, Yamada closed the courtyard door again and returned to the house. He now seemed to be more interested in Tang Cheng who had left. Zhou Changshui just shook his head when he heard this. When it comes to understanding Tangcheng, he doesn't seem to know more than Yamada.
"It shouldn't be one of ours. I met him in the Army Hospital! I thought it was a trap set by the Special High School Course, but I didn't expect that he was rescued by him!" If Zhou Changshui hadn't hidden this from Yamada , while drinking hot tea, he told Yamada everything that happened in the army hospital. As a listener, Yamada was already extremely shocked. If he had not known Zhou Changshui for a long time, he would have thought that Zhou Changshui was telling him ancient stories.
"If you don't believe it, you will hear tonight's news after dawn tomorrow." Zhou Changshui's injury has not completely healed, and he can hardly sit still after talking so much to Yamada. Under Yamada's constant questioning, the depressed Zhou Changshui could only ask his old friend to verify the things he said in person the next day. As for himself, he was the witness to these things tonight.
Just when Yamada was sending Zhou Changshui to rest with a confused look on his face, Tang Cheng, who had left the small courtyard, appeared again not far from the Army Hospital. Tang Cheng's choice to attack the Army Hospital tonight was not to kill as many Japanese officers and soldiers. His main purpose was to create as much panic as possible in Hongkou District, in order to divert the attention of Shanghai Special High School. Returning to the Army Hospital, Tang Cheng found that there were many armed military police patrols along the road. However, he did not panic. Instead, he found a place and waited quietly.
The Army Hospital was already bustling with people. Standing at a high place, he could not easily observe the situation in the Army Hospital at the moment, but he had other ways to carry out his plan. Tangcheng didn't wait long before he spotted a military police patrol coming from the street in front of him from a distance. There are eight people in this military police patrol team, led by a military police sergeant. Seeing this, Tang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a cold look on his face.
This military police patrol team, who still didn't know anything, was transferred from other places to the Army Hospital after receiving the order. They were only responsible for patrolling around the Army Hospital. There were several patrol teams like theirs in this area, so the military policeman in this patrol team didn't feel that there was anything to be nervous about. Tang Cheng, who was leaning sideways in the shadow of the street wall, remained motionless, but the rifle in his right hand was already loaded and ready to fire at any time.
Tang Cheng, who was secretly counting in his heart, calculated the distance between himself and this patrol. When the patrol was about to pass by him, Tang Cheng activated his light body skill and jumped up. Climb the wall behind you. Tang Cheng, who had already changed out of the Japanese military uniform, was now dressed in black. Sitting on the top of the wall, he perfectly used the night as a cover and was not immediately discovered by the patrol team passing by this section of the street wall.
Tang Cheng climbed up the street wall without stopping. After he stood firm on his feet, he raised the rifle in his right hand and pointed it at the gendarmerie patrol under the street wall. "There's someone on the wall!" The military police sergeant leading the team was quite alert. Before Tang Cheng on the wall could pull the trigger of the shell gun, the military police sergeant issued a warning. It's a pity that he was the only one in the entire patrol who immediately noticed Tang Cheng on the wall, and his warning was not faster than Tang Cheng's actions.
Almost following the shouts of the sergeant, the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand fired instantly. Rapid gunfire followed one after another. Among the military police patrols under the street wall, some people were knocked down by bullets one after another. The Japanese military police patrols also use standard bolt-action rifles. If they want to fire back, they must first take the rifle off their shoulders, then pull the bolt to load the bullet, and then aim at Tangcheng on the wall. Only then can you pull the trigger and shoot back.
This series of movements would take at least two or three breaths to complete, even for a long-time veteran of the Japanese army. But Tang Cheng is now shooting at close range, and he is using a 20-round rapid-fire machine gun. Especially Tang Cheng’s rate of fire is very fast. In just two or three breaths, Tang Cheng has already fired continuously. Shoot out at least five or six bullets. The first one shot down by Tang Cheng was the sergeant who pointed at the wall and issued a warning, followed by a guy who looked like a veteran.
Among the patrol, the two who reacted fastest were the first to be shot and fell to the ground. Under the illumination of gunfire and distant street lights, the remaining military police had dispersed, trying to cooperate with each other to launch a counterattack against Tangcheng. Tang Cheng, who had been using single-shot shooting, had no intention of delaying time. He just flipped his left hand, which had been free, and another speed machine gun appeared in his palm.
