Chapter 683: The heart of a villain measures the heart of a gentleman
“That shot just now was good.” Cheng Qianfan also praised Hao Zai.
He just shot and killed the light machine gunner, and Haozi shot and killed the ammunition feeder. Only in this way did the light machine gun firing point of the Special High School finally go silent.
Araki Harima watched with a gloomy expression as Lu Xinge led several people to break through the first blockade.
This blockade is guarded by a light machine gunner and ammunition supplier of the Gendarmerie and three special agents of the Special High School. Its purpose is to cut off the connection between the guild hall and Hongyun Building.
In Araki Harima's view, this five-man configuration can firmly hold this line of defense.
In fact, as he expected, the Shanghai Station operators led by Lu Xingge were blocked here and suffered heavy casualties.
But at the critical moment, both the light machine gunner and the bomb supplyer were shot.
“Taijun, we have a sharpshooter.” Lu Fei shouted.
“Who at Shanghai Station is good at shooting with a rifle?” Araki Harima looked at Lu Fei and asked coldly.
“The action team members in the station basically use short guns. I haven’t heard of anyone who is good at shooting with long guns.” Lu Fei thought for a while, “No, I remembered that there is one person.”
“Who?” Araki Harima asked.
"It's Lu Xingo, his rifle is very accurate." Lu Fei said.
Before he finished speaking, he received a big scratch on his face.
“Bag duck down!” Araki Harima cursed angrily.
Lu Xingo is leading the team to break through the defense line of the Special High School. It is obvious that the person who made the secret move cannot be Lu Xingo.
Lu Fei, who had a big scratch on his ear, covered his face, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak.
“Yoshida.” Araki Harima growled.
“Hai.”
"The other party shot from that direction, and they were most likely hiding in those houses." Araki Harima pointed to the direction of Notre Dame Road, "Take a few people and hide behind them."
Araki Harima had a sinister expression and clenched his fists, "Kill this despicable sneak attack rat!"
“Hai.”
Judging from the previous gunshots, Araki Harima believed that there should be two people on the other side, and no more than three people at most.
Two or three people, two or three long guns, have average firepower. However, the existence of that long-distance shooting point can provide precise shooting support to Cordier Road. Just take the example just now, if it were not for the existence of sharpshooters, Lu Xing would Ge's men will be firmly suppressed and eventually surrounded and annihilated.
This shooting point on Notre Dame Road poses a great threat and impact to the arrest operation of the U.S. High School.
…
“Team leader, let’s do it.” A subordinate looked at Qiao Chuntao anxiously.
There has been a fierce exchange of fire between the brothers at the Shanghai Station and the Japanese. Everyone can't wait to open fire and attack the Japanese. However, the team leader Qiao Chuntao strictly ordered everyone to remain silent and not to act rashly.
"Wait." Qiao Chuntao said coldly.
At this moment, a subordinate ran in.
“Team leader, there are Japanese people heading towards Notre Dame Road.”
The team leader told him to keep an eye on the intersection of Cordier Road and Notre Dame Road. If any Japanese with guns were attacking Notre Dame Road, they would report to him immediately.
“Let’s do it.” Qiao Chuntao observed the situation outside, “According to the plan just made, let’s do it!”
He knew that the team leader was on Notre Dame Road, but of course, he didn’t know where exactly.
In Qiao Chuntao's mind, the Shanghai Rescue Station is important, but the safety of team leader Cheng Qianfan always comes first.
He judged that the team leader should have fired on the adjacent Notre Dame Road and caused effective damage and threat to the Japanese, so the Japanese began to take action on that side of Notre Dame Road.
What Qiao Chuntao had to do was to launch a sudden attack on Cordier Road, giving the Japanese a sudden blow and at the same time attract the Japanese's attention back and reduce the pressure and threat on the team leader's side.
Following Qiao Chuntao's order, Qiao Chuntao's unit of the Shanghai Special Situation Group also quickly took action.
Everyone started to act in an orderly manner according to the emergency plan Qiao Chuntao had just made.
Everyone climbed out of the second-floor window and ran quickly and carefully on the roof.
Two of the men had a cloth bag hanging around their necks.
Arriving at a place more than thirty meters away from Hongyun Tower, Qiao Chuntao raised her hand and everyone lay down.
“Don’t show up.” Qiao Chuntao growled in a low voice, “Listen to my orders.”
Hongyun Tower, a well-known restaurant in the French Concession, was already full of victims.
The shopkeepers and diners who had not yet had time to leave the restaurant after the gunfire rang out were hiding in the restaurant and shivering.
Some of the Shanghai Station personnel who were in Hongyun Tower tried to escape through the back door, but the Japanese had already ambushed them. Two people were shot dead and many others were injured.
The road to the back entrance is narrow, and there is a small river on the opposite side. The Japanese shot from a boat. Obviously, this road is impassable.
The surviving Shanghai Station personnel retreated into the courtyard, locked the back door, and rushed to the front door to meet up with Pao Ze at the front door.
“Save bullets, save bullets!” Cheng Xuyuan shouted at the top of his lungs.
After all, he failed to successfully evacuate from the main entrance. As soon as he walked out of the hotel door and walked not far, the Japanese took action. The two men he led raised their guns and fired at the enemy. As they escorted Cheng Xuyuan back to Hongyun Building, this Two of them were also killed and injured.
Cheng Xuyuan's 'return' to Hongyun Building. Although some personnel have some objections to Cheng Xuyuan's running too fast just now, objectively speaking, the second person in Shanghai Station is here, which has played a role in stabilizing the morale of the Shanghai Station personnel who stick to Hongyun Building. .
From time to time, someone screamed.
This is where agents at the Shanghai Station were hit by bullets, and citizens hiding in restaurants were injured by stray bullets.
“Save bullets.” Cheng Xuyuan raised his voice to encourage the morale of his men, “Hold for ten minutes. As long as you hold for ten minutes, the patrol will come.”
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "When the patrol comes, the Japanese will withdraw."
…
It was the gendarmerie class of the United Special High School that attacked Hongyun Tower.
The marksmanship of these elite Japanese soldiers on active duty was so precise that the suppressed Shanghai Station personnel in Hongyun Tower could not hold their heads up.
Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and glanced at the man next to him who had been shot and fell to the ground. Blood poured out of his mouth. He twitched twice and then stopped moving. His heart was filled with fear and hatred.
The opponent's marksmanship is extremely accurate, and the casualties on our side continue to increase.
Most importantly, including the short guns he brought, there were only nine short guns in Shanghai Station in Hongyun Tower, and there were not many bullets.
At this time.
As soon as he finished speaking, two team members holding cloth bags distributed grenades.
Glancing to both sides, four of the six men had one hand on the string and a grenade in the other.
The other two people were carrying cloth bags. They took out grenades and stuck them on their waists, which were reserved for subsequent evacuation.
“Get ready!” Qiao Chuntao shouted through gritted teeth, “Throw it!”
Outside the main entrance of Hongyun Building, about thirty meters away, Nobuze Yasuda, the squad leader of the military police class of the Joint Special High School, was lying on the ground. He turned to ask the soldiers around him, "How many rounds of ammunition do they have left?"
"There should be nine short guns. After this period of firefighting, each gun has less than three bullets left on average." The soldier lay on the ground, calculated silently in his mind, and then replied.
"Very good." Yasuda Nobusawa nodded, "Kikube-kun, increase the firepower and consume their ammunition as soon as possible."
He knew that time could not be delayed too long. This was the French Concession. Although the French were tolerant to the empire, it was impossible for the French to watch the large-scale exchange of fire here and remain indifferent.
“Grenade!” The Japanese military policeman who had just answered Yasuda Nobuzawa’s question looked up and saw the black dots falling in the sky, and shouted in horror.
“Spread out!”
“Bunker!”
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded.
Mixed with screams and howling ghosts.
In Hongyun Building, Cheng Xuyuan and others were also frightened by the sudden explosion.
Looking at the smoke and dust flying outside the door, I couldn't see clearly anywhere I looked. I could only hear screams in the dust and smoke, and even the gunfire stopped.
“What are you still doing?” Cheng Xuyuan was overjoyed and shouted, “Run!”
Following his roar, the Shanghai Station agents who reacted began to rush out.
After seeing that the dozen people who rushed out were not shot, Cheng Xuyuan 'protected' himself among his subordinates and ran wildly.
Roof.
“Retreat!” After throwing the grenade, Taozi ordered directly without even paying attention to the explosion effect.
Taozi led his men to quickly evacuate from the roof. They got down from the ladder that had been prepared in a safe place and ran like crazy in order to evacuate the place as soon as possible.
The gunshots that had stopped just now rang out again. It must be that the Japanese who were injured in the grenade explosion had recovered.
Taozi didn’t look back, and he didn’t feel any guilt in his heart.
These four grenades were the greatest help they could give to the agents at the Shanghai Station.
It is impossible for him to sacrifice his own men to exchange the lives of these people at Shanghai Station.
He has no doubt that if the Shanghai special team is surrounded by the Japanese in a different location, it will most likely be impossible to expect people from the Shanghai Station to come to help like this.
…
“Bag duck down!” Nobuzawa Yasuda covered his right arm and cursed loudly.
His arm was injured by grenade shrapnel, two of his soldiers were shattered, and many others were injured.
For an elite combat team, such losses are heavy.
You know, the Shanghai Station agents exchanged fire with them for seven or eight minutes. There were almost zero casualties on his side. Only one soldier was injured when his head hit a stone on the roadside while dodging bullets.
Yasuda Nobusawa ordered his men to shoot. Three or four Shanghai Station personnel who had not had time to hide in the surrounding alleys were shot in the back and fell to the ground.
However, most of the middle and high-level personnel of Shanghai Station who were trapped in Hongyun Building have taken this opportunity to successfully escape.
"Asshole!" Araki Harima, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that most of the Shanghai Station personnel escaped from the Hongyun Building, his face was extremely gloomy, and he looked at Lu Fei with a ferocious expression.
Lu Fei was startled, thinking he was going to get slapped on the ear again.
“Who is that person?” Araki Harima asked through gritted teeth.
Lu Fei knew who Araki Harima was talking about. The group of attackers just now were well hidden. Before they launched the grenade attack, they did not notice each other. However, they were naturally noticed after the opponent launched the attack.
Lu Fei set up a telescope and looked.
"These people are all covered, so they can't be recognized." Lu Fei said, and he couldn't help scolding this group of people for being extremely cunning.
These people who ran quickly from the roof and quickly came down from the roof and disappeared, all had their faces covered with black cloth, and their faces could not be seen at all.
“Are you familiar with these people?” Araki Harima asked with a serious face.
"I have no impression." Lu Fei said, and he thought about it carefully, "Taijun, these subordinates really have no impression and are very strange."
“Where is the one leading the team?” Araki Harima asked.
"Strange." Lu Fei shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "Tell Taijun, this group should not be from Shanghai Station. I basically know all the operational personnel at Shanghai Station. This group of people feels very strange to me. I have never seen them before. Pass."
“Not from Shanghai Station?” Araki Harima asked, staring at Lu Fei.
"Definitely not." Lu Fei shook his head, "If it's someone from the Shanghai Station, the person leading the team should be the leader or deputy leader of a certain action group. I'm familiar with these people. Even if their faces are covered, maybe I can’t recognize who it is, but there must be a sense of familiarity, and this person doesn’t have that sense of familiarity.”
Araki Harima's face was as dark as water. He thought for a while, looked at Lu Fei and asked, "Based on your judgment, could they be members of the Shanghai special situation team?"
"Shanghai Special Situation Team?" Lu Fei looked surprised and thoughtful, "I don't know much about the Shanghai Special Situation Team. In fact, even the acting webmaster Zheng Lijun doesn't know much about the Shanghai Special Situation Team. We don’t know much about the situation.”
“Just tell me whether you think these people may be members of the Shanghai Special Situation Team!” Araki Harima said coldly.
"It's unlikely." Lu Fei shook his head, "Previously, the so-called August 13 exposure, the Shanghai station launched multiple attacks, but the Shanghai special situation team has been silent. Some people in the station analyzed that the Shanghai special situation team is not good at it, and some said that the Shanghai special situation team is not good at it. The Qing Group may have been suppressed by the ghost... Taijun, and suffered heavy losses."
"No!" Araki Harima said coldly with a gloomy face, "The Shanghai Special Intelligence Team did not suffer at the hands of the empire."
"Taijun, my subordinates believe that that group of people is not the Shanghai Special Situation Group. The most important reason is that the Shanghai Station actually has a very ordinary relationship with the Shanghai Special Situation Group." Lu Fei said.
"In fact, the acting station chief Zheng Lijun is very disgusted with Xiao Mian, the leader of the Shanghai special situation team." Lu Fei paused and continued, "And Xiao Mian has been deliberately keeping a distance from the Shanghai station. His subordinates speculated that he and We are acquainted with Zheng Lijun and have always been at odds with each other. Even if he learned that something happened at Shanghai Station, Xiao Mian would do well not to add insult to injury, and he would definitely not come to the rescue."
…
“Team leader, there is a little Japanese sneaking over.” Hao Zai put down the telescope and warned.
“Withdraw!” Cheng Qianfan said without hesitation.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would not choose to confront the enemy. If he did not kill the enemy, then the appearance of 'Xiao Mian' would be exposed, and he would eventually become a hidden danger.
"yes!"
"Wait a minute, keep the bomb you got from Wu Shunjia." Cheng Qianfan raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "The guests are here, why don't we bring some hot food."
