Chapter 682 Brothers
Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan had no choice but to accept the arrangement of the acting webmaster Zheng Lijun.
He put his Browning pistol into his briefcase, closed the bag, and with a gloomy expression, he took the briefcase and left.
“Bring a few more guns.” Zheng Lijun suddenly said.
The subordinates went to Hongyun Tower to have a drink because they were worried that there would be a sudden inspection by the police. For safety reasons, they basically did not carry weapons.
Eagerly unable to find any suitable items, Zheng Lijun simply asked someone to get a vegetable basket from the kitchen. Several guns were placed in the basket, and then some biscuits, cans, drinks and the like were randomly placed on top to cover it.
Cheng Xuyuan carried his briefcase and was followed by a subordinate carrying a bamboo vegetable basket.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate of No. 19 Cordier Road, turned right, and walked in the direction of Hongyun Building.
“Who is this person?” Araki Harima asked, holding binoculars in both hands and staring at the two people who came out.
"The man carrying the briefcase is named Cheng Xuyuan. He is the secretary of Shanghai Station." Lu Fei said quickly, "Cheng Xuyuan's status in the station is nominally second only to that of the acting station chief Zheng Lijun. However, Zheng Lijun has been squeezing out Cheng Xuyuan. In addition, Shang Cheng Xuyuan has no close subordinates, so he basically has fame but no power."
"Why doesn't Zheng Lijun come out?" Araki Harima watched Cheng Xuyuan lead one of his men into the Hongyun Tower. He nodded slightly. Now he only had to wait for Shanghai Station Director Zheng Lijun to get in before he could close the net.
“Zheng Lijun is a man who loves great achievements and is very pompous.” Lu Fei thought for a while and said, “He should have deliberately delayed time and asked others to wait for him.”
“Shanghai was lost, and most of China was occupied by the locust army. It’s rare that they still have the leisure to show off.”
“So, China deserves to die, and long live the Japanese Empire.” Lu Fei licked his face and said with a flattering smile.
“Mr. Lu, you are very good.” Araki Harima nodded happily. He liked this knowledgeable Chinese man.
At this time, he remembered the two people who came out before Cheng Xuyuan, and asked, "Why didn't those two people go to Hongyun Tower just now?"
"Taijun is talking about Lu Xingge?" Lu Fei asked, "Lu Xingge has a withdrawn temperament and is not gregarious in the station."
“You mean Lu Xinge won’t go to Hongyun Tower?” Araki Harima asked.
"I should go." Lu Fei thought for a while and said, "This is a celebration banquet for the whole station. Unless Lu Xingge doesn't want to stay at the station, otherwise he will not be absent. His subordinates guess that he will be there soon go."
Araki Harima nodded. This Lu Xinge was indeed as bad-tempered and unsociable as Lu Fei said. The secretary of the Shanghai Station had already gone to the restaurant, but he, the leader of the action team, had not yet left.
…
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan come in with one of his men, all the middle and high-level officers at Shanghai Station stood up to greet him.
Cheng Xuyuan was indeed severely suppressed by Zheng Lijun, and he did not have much power in his hands. However, there were differences in seniority and hierarchy within the Military Command Bureau, so he still had to get by in terms of face.
“Sit, sit, sit.” Cheng Xuyuan pressed his hands down, “Brothers, don’t be too polite, just sit down.”
He was nervous and scared in his heart, but he also knew that at this time, he must stabilize these men first and not let everyone get into chaos.
"Liu Wen, what are you doing here?" Feng Huaiyuan, leader of the fourth group of the action brigade, looked at the little man who followed Cheng Xuyuan up strangely. This person was his subordinate.
"Team leader, it's serious, there are Japanese." Liu Wen was already nervous, but when his team leader asked, he almost blurted out.
As he spoke, Liu Wen lifted the towel covering the bamboo basket and said, "Team leader, grab a gun quickly."
When Liu Wen said the first sentence, Cheng Xuyuan was shocked, his face changed, and he said in his heart:
Going to suffer!
As expected, when Liu Wen said there were Japs, everyone's expressions changed and they looked around in panic.
When they saw Liu Wen pick up the towel and reveal the biscuits and drinks in the bamboo basket, especially when they saw the vague sight of a short gun underneath, everyone immediately knew that what Liu Wen said was true.
Especially Feng Huaiyuan, he reacted the fastest after listening to his men's words. He walked directly forward, put his palm into the bamboo basket, and grabbed a Mauser pistol first.
Feng Huaiyuan's action caused everyone to imitate and compete for it.
Bamboo baskets were knocked to the ground, wine bottles were smashed, and biscuits were trampled into crumbs.
"Don't mess around! Don't fight!" Cheng Xuyuan shouted in a low voice, "Follow my arrangement, everyone will be divided into two groups and evacuate from the front door and the back door respectively."
The scene was too chaotic. Some people had planned to follow Cheng Xuyuan's arrangements, but unfortunately, more people were in a mess.
Cheng Xuyuan's face was ashen. He glanced around, winked at his two men who could still remain calm, and turned around to leave the box.
Chaos!
What a mess!
If you don’t leave at this time, you won’t be able to leave at all.
…
Lu Xinge was holding a briefcase in his hand. He glanced at the left side in front of him, where two men were sitting on the ground in a daze.
These two people are dressed as rickshaw pullers, and the rickshaw is beside them.
There is something wrong with these two people.
Lu Xingo came to a conclusion immediately.
When rickshaw pullers rest, they don’t sit on the ground. Most of them lie down in their rickshaws.
However, in most cases, rickshaw drivers are reluctant to stop and rest.
In addition, the sun has not set yet and is still a bit scorching. Even if the rickshaw driver is taking a rest, he will put down the carport and lie down in it to take a nap.
The two people chose to sit on the ground and rest instead of lying in the rickshaw. This was definitely not a sign of caring for their cars, but because their view would be blocked when lying in the rickshaw.
Lu Xinge seemed not to notice the condition of the road. He kicked his right foot on a raised stone. He jumped in place in pain and gasped for air.
“Brother, how are you?” A Yuan hurriedly came up to help him and asked about the situation.
Ahu approached the two of them and looked at Lu Xingo with concern.
“Take those two!” Lu Xinge said softly, “Try not to make any noise.”
After saying that, he put his briefcase directly on the ground, pulled out the dagger hidden on his body, and rushed forward like lightning.
Poof!
The dagger stabbed directly into the neck of one of them. The other person opened his mouth to shout. Lu Xingge pushed his arm against the other person's mouth. The dagger stirred him up, preventing him from shouting.
A Yuan and A Hu surrounded the other person from both sides.
Of the two, A Yuan was empty-handed and A Hu held the dagger. A Yuan directly hugged the other person and covered his mouth. A Hu rushed up and slapped the man's abdomen three times in a row.
“Search!” Lu Xingo breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice after seeing that the two men were successfully dealt with without giving the other party a chance to warn them.
“Southern Pistol.” A Yuan touched the body of the man he was holding and took out a pistol.
“There is also a dagger,” Ahu said, “and a magazine full of bullets.”
Lu Xingo's face darkened, and he also took out the Nanfang pistol from the body, and there was also a Japanese grenade.
Things have become very clear, these two people are Japanese agents.
'boom! ’
At this moment, only a gunshot was heard.
Lu Xingo was startled. He raised the Nanbu pistol found from the body and turned around to look at it.
I saw a man also dressed as a rickshaw driver lying on his back. This man was shot in the head, white and red splattered all over the floor.
There is a southern pistol on the ground to its right.
A Yuan quickly ran over and took the southern pistol, "Team leader, the safety is off."
“Chinese official rifle.” Lu Xinge muttered, and he immediately judged it. He turned his head and looked far to the left, which direction the shot came from.
That's Notre Dame Road.
"Thank you." Lu Xinge smiled heartily and clasped his fists in the direction of the shooting point he judged. Then he bent down and walked up to find his briefcase. He took out his Mauser pistol and seized the gun. Putting the Nanfang pistol in, he signaled A Yuan and A Hu to pick up the other two Nanfang pistols.
“I can’t get used to this gun.”
“Use our own gun. We have the gun and the magazine with us as a spare.” Lu Xingo ordered.
"Understood!"
"Hurry! Let's go to the back door of Hongyun Building." Lu Xingge roared.
…
“Brother, you’re welcome.”
Cheng Qianfan had a grass stem in his mouth, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After Lu Xingge led his people out of No. 19 Cordier Road, Cheng Qianfan kept staring at their group.
Not only because Lu Xingge is the person he cares about and pays the most attention to in the Shanghai station, but also because Cheng Qianfan knows Lu Xingge’s abilities well—
In today's situation, if Shanghai Station wants to break through, it must fight **** battles.
In this case, the performance of Lu Xingge's troops, who were the first to react and take action, played a decisive role in whether Shanghai Station could successfully fight a **** path.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is the eldest brother!
…
Go back in time one minute.
Araki Harima saw through the telescope that Cheng Xuyuan and two people hurriedly walked out of the front door of Hongyun Building.
His expression changed.
Araki Harima once again set up the telescope with both hands and looked at the Huzhou Zaihu Commercial Hotel at No. 19, Cordier Road, and saw smoke coming out of the yard.
“Bag duck down!!” Araki Harima gritted his teeth and cursed.
“Action!” Araki Harima turned around and shouted at a subordinate from the Special High School Course, “Plan No. 2, the troops are divided into two groups, one is to round up the Hongyun Building and the other to attack the guild hall. No one is allowed to escape!”
“Hai!”
Watching his men hurried downstairs, Araki Harima punched the wooden railing of the window.
He really didn’t understand, which link made the mistake and the other party noticed it in advance?
Suddenly, he turned to look at Lu Fei.
Being stared at by Araki Harima's sinister eyes, Lu Fei was so frightened that his two limbs trembled, "Taijun, I don't know either, it's none of my business."
boom!
At this moment, a gunshot was heard.
Araki Harima turned around and saw that the gunfire came from the direction of the guild hall. Then he saw more than ten people from No. 19 Cordier Road holding short guns and rushing towards the direction of Hongyun Tower.
This group of people happened to encounter the Special High School agents who were preparing to surround the club, and a fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides.
…
gunshot.
Screams.
There was even the sound of grenades exploding.
The Cordier Road was instantly detonated.
Pedestrians screamed, holding their heads and running away.
A little girl was so frightened that she ran around, with her mother shouting and chasing after her like crazy.
The two rushed into the fighting zone, and the mother and daughter were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
“Old Mother Diurei!” Lu Xingge’s eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
After scolding, there was only a long sigh in my heart.
“Team leader!” A Yuan shouted.
Lu Xinge turned around and saw that several of his men had been shot and died for their country. A Yuan was struggling to drag Ahu's body, and one of Ahu's arms was missing.
This was a direct interruption of the arm by a Taisho 11-type light machine gun.
“Mother Diurei!” Lu Xinge gritted his teeth and fired in the direction where the light machine gun was firing.
He did not expect that the Japanese would be so arrogant and bring heavy weapons such as the Taisho 11 light machine gun into the French Concession.
Now, facing the ferocious firepower of the Japanese, his men were completely suppressed and unable to move. It can be said that they suffered heavy casualties.
Not far away, there were loud gunshots and screams from the Hongyun Building.
Lu Xinge was so anxious that his teeth bled from biting down.
“Come on, please put down the light machine gun.” Lu Xingo growled in a low voice.
“Team leader, I’m going up.” A voice shouted, holding a Mauser pistol in one hand, he bent down and rushed forward.
"Be careful."
“Team leader, my father and mother...”
Before he finished speaking, the upper body of this subordinate was beaten into a hornet's nest, and half of his head was gone.
“Ah—” Lu Xingge hit the ground hard, his eyes turned red.
The enemy's light machine gun firing point is set up so well. It is completely condescending and protected by stone pillars. Unless you obtain other commanding heights and shoot suddenly from a high position, you will not be able to kill the opponent at all.
Lu Xingo was lying on the ground, observing the surrounding terrain.
At this moment, the firing sound of the Taisho 11 light machine gun on the opposite side stopped.
With no time to analyze whether the opponent was out of ammunition or the machine gunner had been killed, Lu Xinge led his men to charge forward.
…
“Team leader, your marksmanship is amazing.” Hao Zai gave Cheng Qianfan a thumbs up.
Just now, it was Cheng Qianfan who killed the Japanese light machine gunner with one shot and helped the Shanghai station's action team resolve obstacles to advancement.
“The Japanese are more arrogant than we imagined.” Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy expression and gritted his teeth.
He also did not expect that the Japanese would dare to carry a Taisho 11 light machine gun into the French Concession.
“Team leader, do you want to come closer?” Hao Zai asked.
“No.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head. If he got closer, he would enter the fighting area.
In addition, he is now on the second floor of a private house, where he can see the outside, and it is difficult to see him from the outside. This can ensure to the greatest extent that his identity will not be exposed, or cause some people, including Araki Harima, to The suspicion of acquaintances.
Although he is now showing off as Xiao Mian, he still has to be careful. After all, makeup is not a change of appearance. If someone familiar with him notices him, he cannot be sure that some details are not done well, which will lead to suspicion, or even It's exposure.
