"Boom!" There was an explosion, and fire shot into the sky in the distance. Tang Cheng, who was hiding behind the fence, couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the fire. Although there was a fence in front of Tang Cheng, there was a sudden appearance of fire behind him.
In this way, he who was hiding behind the fence became very conspicuous. "There is someone behind the fence..." Tang Cheng was just stunned for a moment. He was backlit under the firelight and was immediately caught in the second bungalow.
The people who came out noticed it and immediately pointed in the direction of Tangcheng and shouted.
Tang Cheng, who secretly screamed in his heart, immediately took out the MP40 submachine gun from his equipment bag. Before the people rushing out of other bungalows could shoot at him, Tang Cheng stretched out the barrel of the gun from behind the fence.
, shooting a tongue of fire at the men in suits outside the bungalow. Although the rate of fire of the MP40 submachine gun is not as high as Tangcheng wants, the MP40 is a submachine gun after all, and the rate of fire of the submachine gun is far beyond that of the pistol.
"Da da da... da da da..." In the rapid and rhythmic gunshots, the men in suits who were only a dozen meters away from Tangcheng were shot and fell one after another. At this moment, Tangcheng suddenly realized that tonight's assassination operation might be in vain.
Tangcheng took advantage of the opportunity to shoot first, and with the continuous fire from the submachine gun in his hand, he succeeded with one strike. But the men in suits outside the bungalow were not ordinary people. The man in suit was shot and fell in the end.
, while his body fell backwards, he still pulled the trigger of the pistol.
The last shot fired by the opponent was not accurate, but it still shocked Tang Cheng. He retracted and immediately replaced the spare magazine. When he stood up again, the direction that Tang Cheng's gun pointed at was exactly that
The doors and windows of the row of bungalows. Rapid gunshots rang out again, and many bullet holes appeared on the doors and windows of those bungalows. However, Tang Cheng himself did not know whether the bullets that penetrated the doors and windows hit the inside of the bungalows.
people.
The rate of fire of the submachine gun was very fast, so all the bullets in the magazine were quickly emptied by Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who had emptied two magazines in a row, did not dare to stay here and had no time to replace the third magazine.
Box, he immediately turned around and left the fence. The sudden explosion, and his action of shooting at the bungalow just now, made Tang Cheng understand that tonight's assassination operation was probably really a failure. Since there was no possibility of the operation succeeding, the best option at present was
The most important thing is to leave here immediately.
After leaving the fence, Tang Cheng quickly ran to the wall of the small building behind him. He already heard the sound of dense footsteps. Tang Cheng, who was so horrified that he couldn't care about the many, directly threw his flying claw upwards, and then
Activate the light body skill, grab the string and quickly climb up to the roof.
The Japanese military police guarding the place were not slow to respond, and Tang Cheng was able to climb onto the roof. A dozen Japanese military policemen carrying rifles ran past the small building in a chaotic manner.
It's easy to get in but hard to get out. This sentence only applies to other people, but Tangcheng does not fall into the category of others. Especially for tonight's assassination operation, Tangcheng also brought a bottle of gasoline in his equipment bag. Yes.
Gasoline makes it easier for Tangcheng to set fire anytime and anywhere to divert the attention of his opponents. This bottle of gasoline was originally used by Tangcheng when he retreated. Now it seems that there is no hope of action and Tangcheng is anxious to leave here.
So I used this bottle of gasoline in advance.
"It's on fire... It's on fire..." The fire, which grew instantly because of the gasoline, was immediately discovered. Some people shouted to direct the fire, and some people immediately went to the bungalow behind the fence to check the damage. Tang Cheng, who had quietly left, did not know it at this moment.
, his previous inference was not wrong. One of the row of bungalows in front of the fence is where Yokomoto Ichiro lives tonight. The Kwantung Army has been fighting against the Anti-Japanese Alliance outside the Pass for a long time. Although Yokomoto Ichiro is not well-known and has no command of the battle,
Although he has experience, he has been assassinated no less than ten times outside the customs.
Yokomoto Ichiro was assassinated many times. Although the assassins never succeeded, he was more afraid of death than anyone else. Even when he came to Shanghai and his residence was guarded by military police, Yokomoto Ichiro still adhered to his principles outside the customs.
As a habit developed in childhood, every night when he was resting, Yokomoto Ichiro would secretly change his residence under the cover of his guards. Just like tonight, Yokomoto Ichiro should have slept in the luxurious suite in the small building in front of him.
, but before falling asleep, he quietly moved to this row of bungalows.
Nothing happened in the previous two nights, but tonight, Yokomoto Ichiro had just fallen asleep when there was an explosion outside the window. A guard guarding the next room pushed open the door between the two rooms in desperation.
He rushed in through the door. Yokomoto Ichiro, who didn't wait for the bed to open his eyes, reacted. Two personal guards took Yokomoto Ichiro off the bed and stuffed him under the bed. After the explosion, there was a patrol in the yard.
The soldiers were shouting to chase the enemy. Listening to the commotion outside the house, Yokomoto Ichiro and the other two people stayed in the house and did not go out out of caution.
I kept waiting until there was no sound outside the house, Heng Yuan
One of Ichiro's guards went out from the next room to check the situation. Unexpectedly, when the second explosion and the fire started, he happened to find Tangcheng hidden behind the fence. Yokomoto Ichiro had been hidden under the bed by the guard.
, was startled by the rapid gunfire outside the house. Although Yokomoto Ichiro was not a front-line officer, he was not unfamiliar with ordnance. The rapid gunfire outside the house sounded unfamiliar, among all the individual weapons that Yokomoto Ichiro was familiar with.
, there is no weapon that can emit such a gunshot sound.
But this did not prevent Yokomoto Ichiro from continuing to hide under the bed without showing his head. After one of the two guards heard the screams coming from outside the house, he carefully moved to the window and looked outside. Yokomoto who was hiding under the bed
Genichiro also poked his head out from under the bed at this time, but just in time to catch up with Tang Cheng after changing the magazine, he fired at the door and window. Yokomoto Ichiro saw with his own eyes that one of his guards had one ear knocked off by the bullet fired from the window.
, such a bloody scene made Yokomoto Ichiro feel faintly terrified even as he was angry.
Tang Cheng, who was anxious to leave at that time, did not know these things. If he knew the target he was looking for, who was in this row of bungalows at that time, he might not be so anxious to leave here. Until he got out of here, Tang Cheng had not yet
Knowing who caused the explosion earlier, Tang Cheng, who almost lost his direction after running along the street for a while, then got into an alley on the side of the street and moved quickly towards the courtyard where he had stayed in the afternoon.
.
It's still daylight, so it's obviously impossible to leave Hongkou District at this time. Not only were guns fired tonight, but there were also explosions. Tangcheng guessed that the angry Japanese army in Shanghai would definitely seal off the entire Hongkou District and conduct a search. Since
Unable to leave Hongkou District, the only choice was to find a place to hide first. In the afternoon in Tangcheng, they did not take action against Xu Yingzi and the special envoy of the National Salvation Army. The purpose was just for now.
The entire Hongkou District is a Japanese-controlled area, and most of the people living here are Japanese expatriates. It is not an easy task to hide one's whereabouts in a place like this. The tunnels are hidden underground, so in theory they are both
There is safety in concealment, and these tunnels of the National Salvation Army were not dug in a short period of time. Since they were not discovered by the Japanese before, they should not be discovered by the Japanese military police who are searching the entire Hongkou District now.
What's more important is that Tangcheng, which is in a tunnel, can also use the tunnels to move around at any time.
Location, if there is an emergency, the tunnel will be the best way to evacuate Tangcheng. The courtyard that Tangcheng visited in the afternoon was deserted. I don’t know if the people from the National Salvation Army were afraid of Tangcheng, or something else.
The reason is that when Tang Cheng tiptoed into the courtyard, he found that there was no one here, but the tunnel was not destroyed.
It's good that the tunnel is still there. Tang Cheng, who carefully cleaned up the traces behind him, didn't have time to think too much and went straight into the tunnel. The blockade and search that Tang Cheng had expected were far faster than he thought. Only then did Tang Cheng get into the tunnel.
A large number of military police and plainclothes agents gathered together and followed the order to blockade the entire Hongkou District. The senior officers of the military police headquarters were furious when they learned that someone had assassinated Yokomoto Ichiro. If Yokomoto Ichiro died here, they would definitely be punished by their superiors.
punishment.
In the street outside, footsteps and knocks on the door were heard one after another. Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the tunnel, listened quietly through the ventilation holes, wondering when the Japanese army's search would end. The military police blocking the block went from house to house.
Knock on the door, and then strictly check everyone's information according to the registration list provided by the police. In this case, no one will think that the escaped attacker can continue to hide.
Tang Cheng is a very patient person, and the tunnel is very safe. Time seems to pass very slowly. Tang Cheng Meimei, who was hiding in the tunnel, woke up after a good sleep and found that it was only 9 o'clock in the morning. The yard was still deserted.
Outside the yard, you could only hear the occasional sound of someone walking by, but Tangcheng did not leave the tunnel. The Japanese army's blockade and search was not slow, but they still could not find the whereabouts of the attackers, although they tried their best to block the news.
, but someone still deliberately spread what happened last night.
Hongkou District was sealed off again, and many interested people who were concerned about the movements of the Japanese army began to inquire about relevant information through various channels. The news that Heng Yuan Ichiro was assassinated in Hongkou District was first revealed by a French intelligence dealer, and then this news,
Just as it was being circulated, Shanghai Station also learned the news. Huang Zengcheng, who was responsible for liaison with Tangcheng at the time, could no longer remember Tangcheng's appearance.
"I really didn't expect that person to be so courageous. If it were me, I wouldn't even be able to get into Hongkou District!" Huang Zengcheng, standing in front of the window, looked far into the distance. The direction he was looking at was exactly the direction of Hongkou District.
, this soliloquy just now may be Huang Zengcheng’s truest thought at the moment.
