After the attacker on the roof announced his name, Dong Zhengguo was stunned for a moment when he understood the name.
Then I thought of who this person was.
Tu Helin was originally a water bandit on Tai Lake, plundering the area around the lake. Later, he took advantage of Xiong Xin Leopard Gut and robbed the goods of Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading Co., Ltd. Cheng Qianfan sent people to encircle and suppress him. Most of his men were killed or injured and fled in embarrassment.
Later, Cheng Qianfan also issued a reward to the Shanghai community for Tu Helin's head.
This person is actually from Chongqing?
Dong Zhengguo certainly did not think that Tu Helin, a water bandit on Taihu Lake, would "drink arsenic for an old man" and rush to rescue Sheng Shuyu.
The only possibility is that this person is also from Chongqing, or to go further, this person is a military commander, or even very likely Sheng Shuyu's old department in Shanghai.
His speculation and judgment were not unfounded. After the full-scale war broke out in the 26th year of the Republic of China, the national army was retreating steadily. At the same time, in order to continue fighting in the occupied areas, the Secret Service, the predecessor of the military command, rapidly expanded, and gang members
Water bandits, thieves, even skilled women, Taoist priests, beggars, etc., as long as they say they are willing to resist Japan, the military commander will accept them all.
It is indeed possible that Tu Helin, a water bandit on Tai Lake, was recruited by the military commander.
However, the water bandits cherish their lives, seek good fortune and avoid disaster, and are cunning by nature. Sheng Shuyu was obviously besieged by them and had no chance of escape. How could Tu and Lin dare to risk their lives to rescue him?
This is what Dong Zhengguo can't figure out at the moment.
Immediately, Zitu and Lin fired three shots in succession, killing two of their own and seriously injuring one.
Another shot killed another person.
Then he fired four shots in a row, causing one death and two injuries to his own party.
Dong Zhengguo was shocked.
One magazine had not yet been filled with bullets, eight bullets to be precise. Tu and Lin actually caused four deaths and three injuries to their own side.
How can it be?
How could Tu Helin, such a brave man, be chased by Cheng Qianfan like a bereaved dog and not dare to show his face?
If this damn person were the water bandit Tu Helin, Dong Zhengguo would cut off his head and give it to Tu Helin to play as a football!
Suddenly!
Dong Zhengguo's heart moved.
Xiao Mian?
Yes!
This person must be Xiao Mian!
He had a guess in his mind:
Today, probably tonight, Sheng Shuyu and Xiao Mian made an appointment to meet secretly at Weimin Hotel!
They were here to encircle and suppress Sheng Shuyu, but it was a coincidence!
Xiao Mian did not choose to ignore Sheng Shuyu until death.
There is a reason for this.
Sheng Shuyu is the director of the General Affairs Department of the Chongqing Bureau of Military Command and holds a high position of authority.
And according to the information currently available, Xiao Mian is from Liling, Hunan, and is a member of Yu Ping'an's hometown party, and Sheng Shuyu is Yu Ping'an's brother-in-law. The two have a close relationship.
Among this information, the most important thing is that Sheng Shuyu is obviously familiar with Xiao Mian, and is more likely to know Xiao Mian's true identity and even his hiding place in Shanghai.
Xiao Mian could not watch Sheng Shuyu being arrested.
Due to all these factors, Xiao Mian had no choice but to save Sheng Shuyu.
After figuring this out, Dong Zhengguo was overjoyed.
He shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs: You are not Tu Helin, you are Xiao Mian!
Cheng Qianfan was shocked. He raised his hand and fired a shot in Dong Zhengguo's direction.
ah!
After Dong Zhengguo shouted, he realized that he might be targeted. He subconsciously moved his body, but it was too late. He was shot in the upper left arm.
"Shoot! Target the roof!" Chen Mingchu hid behind the window and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Kill Xiao Mian and reward him with ten large yellow croakers!"
He was already a little hysterical.
Although he had not been in the secret service headquarters for too long, Chen Mingchu was well aware of Dingmutun and Li Cuiqun's fear of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group and their fear of Xiao Mian.
In fact, not only the Secret Service Headquarters, but also the Japanese side of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course, Mitsui Mansion, Military Police Headquarters, and even the Iwai Residence all paid great attention to this mysterious Xiao Mian. It was rumored that the head of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course
Mimotojiro even bluntly said that Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Intelligence Unit was a serious problem to Shanghai's public security!
Therefore, at this moment, in Chen Mingchu's heart, Sheng Shuyu, who almost shot him to death just now, is not as important as Xiao Mian!
As for the bounty of ten large yellow croakers that he blurted out, Chen Mingchu believed that if one of his men could really kill Xiao Mian, both the secret service headquarters and the Japanese would rush to cash in the bounty.
…
Chen Mingchu's reward of ten large yellow croakers caused a commotion among the agents.
Even for Agent No. 76, who can earn gray income through robbery and even kidnapping and extortion, ten large yellow croakers are not a small amount of money.
"Kill Xiao Mian!" A top agent who was not very bright and was stimulated by ten large yellow croakers suddenly stood up and fired repeatedly at the roof, shouting, "Kill Xiao Mian!"
That 'Xiao Mian' seemed to be caught off guard by this man's fearlessness. Faced with a barrage of bullets, he rolled continuously on the roof to avoid it. For a moment, he was in a state of embarrassment.
"Well done!" Lu Fei was overjoyed and shouted.
The shooter was one of his men. He had a bad temper and was rude, but he was a good shot.
boom!
Xiao Mian, suppressed by firepower, finally had a chance to fire back.
Lu Fei saw that his subordinate was shot in the head by Xiao Mian, fell backward, and beat the ground with regret.
…
"Team leader, how are you?" The subordinate asked with concern about Dong Zhengguo's injury.
Dong Zhengguo treated his subordinates quite well, with clear rewards and punishments, so he was quite popular.
"I can't die." Dong Zhengguo said through gritted teeth with sweat on his forehead.
He lay on the ground and did not dare to move. He asked his men in a low voice, "How are the casualties among the brothers?"
"Two brothers were killed and three were wounded." The subordinate replied, and after a moment of silence, he added, "Three brothers were killed and four were wounded."
The two deaths and three injuries were caused by Xiao Mian's sudden attack.
The latter deaths and injuries were caused by Sheng Shuyu.
If you include the shot in his shoulder, three of his own troops were killed and five wounded.
Dong Zhengguo was shivering in pain. He moved three groups. Fourteen people came this time, and now more than half of them have been killed or injured!
"Where's Team Leader Lu?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"I estimate that three brothers were killed and three or four were injured."
Dong Zhengguo was silent. There should be thirteen people on Lu Fei's side, and more than half of them were dead or injured.
The most important thing is that Xiao Mian suddenly appeared like a ghost and caused heavy casualties to our own side, which greatly damaged the morale of the brothers.
Dong Zhengguo estimated that there are currently about 23 people besieging Xiao Mian and Sheng Shuyu here. However, seven of them are injured, which means that only 16 of them can really fight alive.
Sixteen people surrounded two people. One of them probably ran out of ammunition, and the other one didn't have too much ammunition. It seemed like there was no problem.
However, Dong Zhengguo frowned and did not dare to be careless.
Facing Xiao Mian, facing this mysterious Xiao Mian, he always felt uneasy.
"Go and call back to Jisi Feier Road." Dong Zhengguo gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred, "Ask Section Chief Su for help, just say..."
"Let's just say that we have blocked Sheng Shuyu and Xiao Mian. However, these two people have strong firepower and accurate marksmanship. The brothers suffered heavy casualties and are in urgent need of support." Dong Zhengguo said, "Go quickly!"
"Go quickly!"
He knew that this was the French Concession. If the Secret Service headquarters continued to send reinforcements, it would inevitably conflict with the French Concession authorities. Even the Pétain District Patrol Office, which was secretly close to the Japanese, could no longer remain silent.
However, Dong Zhengguo is absolutely confident that when faced with the temptation to capture or kill Sheng Shuyu and Xiao Mian, especially the latter, whether it is the secret service headquarters or the Japanese, they will definitely send troops to reinforce them, even if it is with the French Concession authorities.
Fierce friction occurred, and the Japanese did not hesitate to do so.
Dong Zhengguo had long seen clearly that the French were helpless when faced with the aggressive Japanese.
"Yes!" The men lay on the ground, crawled back a certain distance, then got up and ran as fast as they could.
…
Cheng Qianfan finished shooting the bullets in the magazine and quickly replaced the spare magazine.
At a glance, he saw an agent getting up and running as fast as he could. Of course he would not think that this person was running away from the battle. He must have gone to move reinforcements.
Cheng Qianfan raised his hand and fired.
Hit.
However, the man stumbled and turned into the alley injured.
Oops!
Cheng Qianfan's heart sank.
He is now looking forward to the arrival of the second team of operations soon.
…
"Xiao Mian changed the magazine." His subordinates said to Dong Zhengguo, "I just fired a shot and wounded the second strongman."
His hearing is very sensitive, and he can accurately judge the firing sounds of various weapons.
Therefore, during the operation, Dong Zhengguo gave this person the task of not having to charge into the battle, but just listen carefully, silently record the number of shots fired by the opponent, and estimate the remaining ammunition.
Dong Zhengguo secretly calculated that, by convention, Xiao Mian should also have a gun and a spare magazine.
In this case, Xiao Mian still has nine bullets in his gun.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Xiao Mian, who had nine rounds of bullets, could only struggle in a corner, with no chance of breaking out.
"Xiao Ni, where is Sheng Shuyu?"
"Sheng Shuyu's side didn't fire just now." Xiao Ni, his subordinate, thought, "According to my estimate just now, there should be one bullet, or at most two bullets, in Sheng Shuyu's gun."
Dong Zhengguo snorted. The reason Sheng Shuyu didn't fire was because Xiao Mian was on the roof to protect him.
Suddenly, Dong Zhengguo's heart moved.
He immediately shouted, "Shoot, target Sheng Shuyu!"
…
"Treacherous!" Cheng Qianfan glanced in the direction of Dong Zhengguo, feeling filled with hatred.
Dong Zhengguo's troops suddenly concentrated their firepower and opened fire on Sheng Shuyu.
Sheng Shuyu didn't have many bullets in his gun and didn't fight back.
Seeing that some agents tried to take the opportunity to approach Sheng Shuyu in a roundabout way, Cheng Qianfan could only fire back continuously to protect Sheng Shuyu and suppress the enemy.
Dong Zhengguo saw that the method worked, and smiled on his face. He suddenly realized just now that Sheng Shuyu was now a 'burden' for Xiao Mian. If he attacked Sheng Shuyu, Xiao Mian would have to save him. This would not only consume Xiao Mian's bullets, but also save him.
Disturbing Xiao Mian's mind.
"The team leader's method is wonderful." His subordinates praised him, "If you attack it, you will save it!"
"What did you just say?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"Attack them and save them!"
Attack it and save it?!
Dong Zhengguo's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of another point.
They surrounded Sheng Shuyu, but they did not completely surround Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian is on the roof and has greater freedom of movement.
Now Xiao Mian was trapped here because he was trying to rescue Sheng Shuyu. However, if Xiao Mian realized that there was nothing he could do and focused on escaping, it would be really difficult for them to stop him!
"Go, lean over and tell Team Leader Lu that half of his men will be given to me. We will guard this place. He will take the other half to Loquat Lane to prevent Xiao Mian from escaping." Dong Zhengguo said to the men beside him.
"Isn't Loquat Lane guarded by our people?" the subordinate asked.
"No more." Dong Zhengguo shook his head, "Xiao Mian's appearance on the roof means something has happened to our people."
…
"Hey." Sheng Shuyu suddenly shouted in a low voice.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Qianfan replied in a hoarse voice.
Listening to Cheng Qianfan's irritable answer, Sheng Shuyu knew the reason and felt a little bitter in his heart.
Thinking that he had sworn in front of this guy that his hiding place would not be found by the enemy, but now Cheng Qianfan had to take the risk to rescue him, he knew that he had completely lost face.
In addition, he knew the most important reason for Cheng Qianfan's bad attitude:
Cheng Qianfan had to come to rescue him, but Cheng Qianfan was also trapped here.
Um?
How did this guy know that I was trapped in Weimin Hotel?
However, he could not think about it so much at this time, and Sheng Shuyu continued, "Go quickly and leave me alone."
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go -"
Before Sheng Shuyu finished speaking, he heard——
"good!"
Sheng Shuyu:......
Although he really wanted Cheng Qianfan to evacuate, the fact that this guy agreed so readily still made Sheng Shuyu feel inexplicably sad.
Immediately, he shook his head. Cheng Qianfan was so loyal that he could risk such a big risk to save him. Could he ask for more?
Besides, he was the one who took the initiative to let Cheng Qianfan go.
However, even though he understood in his heart, Cheng Qianfan's behavior gave him the feeling that he was just waiting for Sheng Shuyu to speak and give him a reason to evacuate. This feeling made him feel uncomfortable.
Then, Sheng Shuyu heard the sound of jingling bells and orange palms. He didn't know what was sliding down the roof tiles, and then fell with a clang, landing not far from Sheng Shuyu.
Hey!
Sheng Shuyu grinned and said to himself, "I know you can't bear to leave us."
Sheng Shuyu glanced around and touched a small branch on his left hand. His heart moved and he carefully poked it with the small branch.
It can't be poked.
It's a pistol.
Sheng Shuyu was so happy that he no longer bothered to cover his body. He raised his hand and fired two shots at the enemy, shocking the enemy. Then he leaned forward, rolled over, and got the pistol with his hands.
As soon as you pick it up, you can tell that this is a pistol with a fully loaded magazine.
Turn off the safety.
Sheng Shuyu rolled back to where he had been hiding, and at the same time fired a shot with his backhand, killing an agent who was trying to get closer. He also grunted, and his other shoulder was also shot.
"Hey." Sheng Shuyu was sweating profusely, holding back the pain, and shouted to the roof in a low voice, "Let's go, really."
No one answered back.
Really gone?
Sheng Shuyu grumbled in his heart.
He looked at the Mauser pistol in his hand and let out a laugh in his heart.
What does this mean?
Afraid that he would commit suicide without bullets, he threw a gun at him.
"Xiao Mian!" Sheng Shuyu shouted loudly, "If you don't kill more traitors for us in the future, I will never forgive you!"
