The red sun was shining brightly, the wind was motionless, and even the air inhaled into the mouth and nose was hot.
Xiaolong and Xiaohu followed Shanzi among the sparse pedestrians and walked in a roundabout way towards Xianghe Hotel.
Along the way, there was a notice posted at the entrance of almost every street and alley——
On the night of June 7, the Imperial Army patrol was attacked. The attackers called themselves the Wind and Thunder Task Force. Anyone who could provide conclusive clues was offered a reward of 100 yuan.
After reading the notice, Shanzi couldn't help but sneered inadvertently.
Entering the intersection of East and West Streets, I was about to cross the road, but I was stopped by a patrol coming from the east.
Shanzi didn't panic and walked straight towards the patrol.
Ten Japanese soldiers swarmed up, surrounded Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Shanzi, and searched them one by one.
Because they did not bring any weapons, the enemy ended up in vain.
Shan Zi had two purposes in coming to the Xianghe Hotel this time. One was to notify the transportation station to summarize the recruitment situation, and the other was to send a telegram to the detachment through the passage from the transportation station to the provincial party committee.
The contents of the telegram are roughly divided into four aspects -
The first is to apply for approval from the detachment and appoint Jiang Yumei as the instructor of the independent camp.
The second is to request the detachment to transport military uniforms to prepare for the establishment of the independent battalion.
The third is to require the opening of a radio station to facilitate the dissemination of superior information and the uploading of inferior information.
Stationmaster Li said that Jiang Yumei was affiliated with the local special committee. For her to serve as the instructor of the independent camp, she must first communicate with the special committee and submit it to the provincial party committee for approval.
Shanzi said, no matter who you communicate with, it is the detachment's business, and the independent battalion only needs results.
The implication is that Shanzi told stationmaster Li that Yumei would definitely come to the independent camp as an instructor.
Because he had other worries, Shanzi refused to stay at Xianghe Hotel for lunch, and it was almost noon when he left the hotel.
Approaching a crossroads, Shanzi got his wish. Four Japanese soldiers crossed the crossroads and ran eastward. The one walking in front was a lieutenant officer.
After walking more than a hundred meters, the Japs quickened their pace and entered the delicious restaurant in an instant.
Following the Japs into the hotel, the hall was filled with diners in groups of three to five and tables of four to five.
When the Japanese soldiers reached the entrance of the stairs, the Japanese lieutenant suddenly stopped and glanced back and forth at a pair of young women.
Shanzi saw through the Japanese lieutenant's flirtatious idea and hurriedly sat down at the dining table to the right of the woman.
Seeing the Japanese approaching, the two women were stunned with fear.
Walking up to the woman in a few steps, the Japanese lieutenant smiled playfully and spoke blunt Chinese, inviting the two women to come upstairs to keep him company.
The man at the table stood up to dissuade him. The Japanese second lieutenant slapped him in the face, and the man fell down on the dining table.
Shanzi stood up and rushed forward, grabbing the Japanese lieutenant's right wrist.
The Japanese lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and shouted angrily: "Ba Ge, what do you do?"
Shanzi scolded: "You idiot, I will send you to see the King of Hell."
As soon as the scolding ended, Shan Zi suddenly grabbed the teapot and threw it at the opponent with a swing of his arm. There was a click and the teapot fell to pieces from the Japanese lieutenant's head.
Before the Japanese lieutenant fell to the ground, Shanzi punched with his right hand and punched several black tigers in succession, until the guy vomited blood and died.
The moment Shanzi grabbed the teapot, Xiaolong and Xiaohu locked their throats with their eagle claws and strangled the two Japs to death.
The fourth Japanese hurriedly picked up his bayonet. Shanzi jumped across the table and kicked the enemy sideways in the air, knocking him to the ground. Then he raised his legs and feet and kicked the Japanese in the heart.
It wasn't until the ghost turned his head softly that Shanzi called out to Xiaolong and Xiaohu and followed the crowd out of the hotel.
