At the same time, while Zhao Jianzhi was inspecting the Sun family, Demu and his men had just arrived at the south gate.
In fact, judging by the time, Demu should have left the city by now.
However, he needs to go to another of his liaison stations to destroy a batch of confidential documents. Part of the content of this batch of documents is the intelligence collected by the intelligence station, while the other part is the list of potential agents.
These things must be destroyed by him personally before he leaves, otherwise he will not worry about it.
Then, under the cover of the inner line, the six of them arrived at the South City Gate.
It's just that at this time, they arrived a step late. The south city gate had been closed, leaving only a passage for one person to pass through, and all the people in the city who wanted to leave the city were stopped.
At this time, an officer stood on the sandbags of the fortifications at the city gate and said to the people who wanted to leave the city: "There is an order from above that there are spies lurking in the city. In order to ensure that the spies do not leave the city, Kaifeng City will be closed from now on." From now on, no one is allowed in, no one is allowed out, I hope everyone can convey this to each other. Dear fellow villagers, I’m sorry!”
As he spoke, the officer clasped his fists and jumped off the sandbag again.
At the same time, the people started talking. Although the restriction on leaving the city caused them inconvenience, in order to catch Japanese spies, no one said anything.
The people dispersed quickly, but Demu frowned slightly. Because they could no longer get out of the city gate, they had to think of other ways.
At this time, his assistant said: "Sir, why don't we go back to Sun's house to find a solution?"
Demu said: "Do you think those people we were captured were really so strict in their words?"
Demu's assistant said: "Could they betray you? These people are all warriors selected from various ministries."
"snort!"
Demu snorted coldly at first, and then said: "They are indeed warriors, but the military commander's methods are no less than ours. So we must prepare for the worst."
"What about us?"
At this time, Na Demu's assistant asked again.
"Come with me."
Demu didn't say anything more and led the people on the way they came.
But at this moment, a group of Kaifeng city defense troops were patrolling from the other side of the street.
Seeing this, Demu could only change the route, but the eight of them attracted the attention of the patrol.
The patrol officer shouted to Demu and others: "Hey, what are you doing? Stop here and get checked."
Demu stopped and then winked at the men beside him.
Because although the confidential documents of the liaison station have been burned by them, they still carry one copy with them, and this one is to be taken back to Nanjing. Otherwise, if they failed to assassinate Duanwu and the information was not obtained, it would be unjustifiable.
What's more, each of them has a gun on their body. Once they are searched by the other party, they will not be able to leave.
So at Demu's signal, four of his men instantly drew their guns and shot at the patrol.
When the patrol officer saw the other party making a move to draw his gun, he also drew his gun.
But he was still a step too late and was hit in the shoulder by a Japanese spy.
The officer took advantage of the situation and rolled to the ground, saving his life, but the two patrolmen behind him were hit by bullets and died on the spot.
But there were many soldiers on the patrol, more than thirty of them.
After his companion was shot and fell to the ground, other patrols quickly fired back.
A fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides in the street.
But within five minutes of the gunfire, the defenders outside the south city gate came for reinforcements. The Japanese spies were quickly eliminated, but there were only four bodies on the scene.
The injured officer said: "There are six of them, two of them ran away."
The officer at the city gate said: "Then it's up to you to pursue me. I still have the city gate to guard."
"Thank you so much!"
The wounded officer shook hands and then directed the patrol in pursuit. His wounds were simply bandaged.
Although his men advised him to go to the hospital, the officer said: What does this injury mean in a war? When I catch a spy, I will naturally go to the hospital.
So under the orders of the wounded officer, the patrol pursued him through an east-west street.
But when they reached the next intersection, they couldn't see anyone at all.
Demu fled again with an assistant.
"Immediately report to General Song that we exchanged fire with Japanese spies near the South City Gate. There were six people in total, four were killed and two escaped.
One of them was wearing a gray striped suit and a black top hat. He was probably in his thirties and was carrying a small black suitcase. The other one was wearing a white suit and a white top hat. He was about thirty years old and wore glasses, which were gold. "
"yes!"
The injured officer ordered a soldier to call Song Zheyuan.
After Song Zheyuan received the news, he immediately dispatched the gendarmerie to enforce martial law on multiple road sections and strictly investigate the two Japanese spies with the above characteristics.
But these two devils seemed to have disappeared from the world. The city defense army searched the nearby area but could not find these two devils.
Of course, Song Zheyuan didn't know that the two Japanese soldiers had already changed their clothes, and that there was a contact point for Japanese spies near Nancheng.
This is a clothing store that sells all kinds of clothing. Demu wore a woman's clothes and took off her glasses, and she really looked like that. Although she looks a bit shabby, she does look somewhat feminine with the two steamed buns on her chest.
His assistant played the role of his husband, and the two of them got through the situation and fled to the vicinity of Sun's house.
Demu's assistant asked in confusion: "Sir, why are we back here again?"
Demu said: "If the Sun family has been searched, then this is the safest place. Did you see? The door of the Sun family has been affixed with a military seal. This means that the military commander has been here. At least. The military commander won't come again in a short time, so let's hide in first. Wait until dark and then find a way out of the city."
"Hi!"
"Baga! You have to speak Chinese."
Demu scolded his assistant, who nodded again and said yes.
At this time, Demu was satisfied. Then he pointed at the wall of the Sun family courtyard. The assistant was lying on the wall. Demu stepped on the other person's shoulders and climbed up the wall. Then he pulled his assistant and both of them jumped in. yard.
The yard is full of trees, and it is actually the back garden of the Sun family.
At this time, the back garden was empty, without even the slightest bit of life, and the silence was terrifying.
Demu's assistant looked at the silent courtyard and said slightly nervously: "Sir, there is no one in the Sun family anymore. It looks very strange."
Demu said disdainfully: "Don't be afraid. Except for our Empire of Japan, which has a true god, no other country has a true god. And we have Amaterasu to protect us, so just keep your heart in your belly!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Assistant Demuna responded again, and became much more courageous.
But what no one expected was that at this moment, a hand suddenly rested on Assistant Demu's shoulder.
Demu's assistant was so frightened that he almost urinated because Demu was walking in front of him, so whose hand behind him belonged to him?
