Nanjing!
Early in the morning, the East City Gate was on special alert. There were no less than a hundred gendarmerie, guards from the Presidential Palace, officials from the Central Commander-in-Chief, Military Commander, Government Affairs Department, and senior advisers from the Third Theater Command Room.
There were no fewer than three hundred people inside and outside the city, although some were wearing plain clothes. But the people passing by could still recognize at a glance that these people were probably from the government.
Someone commented:
"What's going on? Is there going to be martial law at the East City Gate?"
"I don't know. With such a huge display, it's not like a certain general is coming to Nanjing, right?"
"Impossible, impossible. There are so many generals in the city of Nanjing. Every general has such a huge formation when entering the city. Aren't these military police and officials going to be exhausted? I think they should be high-ranking officials at the level of commander."
"Then I don't know which commander it will be?"
"This is the east city gate. I guess it is the commander who is fighting on the front line."
"If he is a commander directing operations from the front, then he is a returning anti-Japanese hero, right?"
"Yes, yes, let's witness the grace of the anti-Japanese heroes here!"
················
The people had never seen such a formation before, and they all wanted to block the city gate and watch the excitement.
And this is why there are so many military police units.
Of course, the most important thing is that these military police teams are all from the third brigade. Now they are all under the jurisdiction of Xie Jinyuan.
In other words, these people are now affiliated with the independent group.
And Xie Jinyuan is naturally here too. How could he not come to greet such a big event as the group's return to Nanjing?
Moreover, he believed that the group’s arrival would not be smooth sailing, and preparations must be made in advance.
Sure enough, he guessed correctly, he was not the only one who came, even the captain of the guard of the Presidential Palace came. There were also people from the Central Command, the Military Command, and the government departments, including the Third Theater Command. And there are more and more people watching at the city gate.
Although Xie Jinyuan had expectations, he never expected that there would be so many people. He and Zhou Weiguo, who was also here to pick up the Dragon Boat Festival, said: "Brother Zhou, there are more and more people here, and I'm afraid the road will be blocked."
Zhou Weiguo said: "It's okay. When the people see you sitting together, they will probably leave disappointed."
“·················”
Xie Jinyuan was speechless and thought to himself: What are you talking about? Our group is great!
And Xie Jinyuan brought so many people here not just to pick up the Dragon Boat Festival. But because there are Japanese assassins.
After the assassination, the Chairman did not leave the presidential palace for two days. And the assassin was not caught. Even if he got a little information about the assassin from the intelligence department, it was of no use.
Xie Jinyuan had seen the photo of the assassin, but it had no value at all. The photo should be from ten years ago. Let's not talk about how much a person's appearance has changed from that of himself ten years later. In such a small photo, who can tell the specific appearance of this person with the naked eye?
So the photo was useless, they just got a name and knew he was a good sniper.
So when he arrived at the east city gate, Xie Jinyuan let a group of people occupy all the commanding heights nearby, to be on guard against assassins shooting at the group seats.
Of course, this is not just a fuss made by Xie Jinyuan. The Japanese assassins will come to assassinate a small regiment leader. Rather, the relevant intelligence agencies have received accurate information that the Japanese army is placing an internal reward on Dragon Boat Festival heads.
Killing the Dragon Boat Festival will reward you with a reward of 200,000 yuan and a three-level promotion. If he can be captured alive, the reward should be doubled.
But the Japanese obviously had no intention of capturing him alive. Because they think it is already difficult to kill Dragon Boat Festival.
So for this reason, many people want to see what kind of person the Chinese lunatic Duan Wu is who makes the Japanese army frightened and has a huge headache.
Of course, there are many people who come to curry favor, such as the military commander. There are many people in the central commander who want to make friends with Duanwu. After all, Dragon Boat Festival is now a popular person next to the Chairman.
So, after waiting for three hours from six o'clock in the morning, these people were not tired at all, and looked full of expectation.
Finally, the roar of cars was heard outside the east city of Chang'an City, and everyone looked outside the city.
At this time, on the official road, a neat line of trucks, lined up in a single column, was slowly approaching.
The car was brand new and showed no sign of a long journey, and the soldiers in the car were all in high spirits.
Their total number exceeded 400, and they came in thirty-eight trucks.
The people of Nanjing had never seen such a long convoy and such neat military appearance.
And not to mention the people of Chang'an, even the Nanjing defenders and bureaucrats have never seen it.
When they saw the retreating troops, every one of them looked as disgraced as if they had defeated the attack.
But this team is not only neat in appearance, but also equipped with automatic weapons.
The truck slowly drove into the city, and the people couldn't help but give warm applause.
At this time, it was not because of how big the Dragon Boat Festival officials were, but because this force gave them the greatest confidence in defeating the enemy.
Xie Jinyuan also applauded and welcomed him, his heart full of admiration. Because it was not him who was taking the lead in applauding, nor the officials, but the common people who were the first to applaud. This is public opinion!
"You should be careful and don't let the group lose their seats."
Xie Jinyuan ordered the military police to be on guard against assassins. But unexpectedly, at this time, those officials had already greeted him.
"Special Commissioner, I am Xiao Liu from the Central Military Commission,..."
"Special Commissioner, I am Xiao Zhang from the military command."
"Special Commissioner, I am Wang Yifei from the Ministry of Military Affairs..."
"Special Commissioner, I am Zhang Liang from the Third War Zone Commander's Department,..."
·············
As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival got off the bus, a group of people gathered around and blocked the Dragon Boat Festival with their heads.
"Baga, these people are really in the way."
Five hundred meters away from the city gate, a sturdy man in a suit moved his glasses away from the sight at the fifth-floor window of the tower. And at his feet lay the bodies of two gendarmerie soldiers.
But the gendarmerie stationed in this attic were not just these two people, but eight people. And a girl in cheongsam was slowly licking the blood on a curved scimitar and walking in a straight line.
The girl walked to the window, with a coquettish face that was beyond beautiful.
She also said in Japanese: "Hawkeye's order is to kill. Don't miss it. Otherwise, I will be punished with you."
The man in black said disdainfully: "It's only five hundred meters. At this distance, I won't miss it even with my eyes closed."
The coquettish woman said: "If you don't brag, can you die?"
The man in black smiled evilly and said: "I don't know if I will die if I don't blow, but you will definitely die if you don't blow, hahaha!"
The coquettish woman glared at the other person. If it weren't for the important task, she would have cut the other person's throat! ...
