Early in the morning, the East Gate was placed on extra vigilance, with no less than a hundred gendarmerie, guards from the Presidential Palace, officials from the Central Commander-in-Chief, Military Commander, Government Affairs Department, and senior advisers from the Third Theater Command Room arriving.
There were no less than 300 people inside and outside the city. Although some of them were wearing plain clothes, the people passing by could recognize at a glance that these people were probably government officials.
Someone commented:
"What's going on? Is there going to be martial law at the East City Gate?"
"I don't know. With such a huge display, it could mean that a certain general is coming to Nanjing, right?"
"Impossible, impossible. There are so many generals in Nanjing City. Every general enters the city in such a large formation. Aren't these military police and officials going to be exhausted? I think they should be high-ranking officials at the level of commander."
"Then I don't know which commander it will be?"
"This is the east city gate. I guess it is the commander who is fighting on the front line."
"If he is a commander directing operations from the front, then he is a returning anti-Japanese hero, right?"
"Yes, yes, let's witness the grace of the anti-Japanese heroes here!"
················
The people had never seen such a formation before, and they all wanted to block the city gate and watch the excitement.
And this is why there are so many military police units.
Of course, the most important thing is that these military police teams are all from the Third Brigade. Now they are all under the jurisdiction of Xie Jinyuan.
In other words, these people are now affiliated with the independent group.
And Xie Jinyuan is naturally here too. How could he not come to greet such a big event as the group's return to Nanjing?
Moreover, he believed that the group's arrival would not be smooth sailing, and preparations must be made in advance.
Sure enough, he guessed correctly. He was not the only one who came. Even the captain of the guard of the Presidential Palace came. There were also people from the Central Commander-in-Chief, Military Commander, and government departments, including the Third Theater Command. And the city gate
There are more and more people watching everywhere.
Although Xie Jinyuan had made predictions, he did not expect that there would be so many people. He and Zhou Weiguo, who also came to pick up the Dragon Boat Festival, said: "Brother Zhou, there are more and more people, and I'm afraid the road will be blocked."
.”
Zhou Weiguo said: "It's okay. When the people see you sitting together, they will probably leave in disappointment."
“·················”
Xie Jinyuan was speechless and thought to himself: What are you talking about? Our group is outstanding!
Moreover, Xie Jinyuan brought so many people here not just because he came to pick up the Dragon Boat Festival, but because there were Japanese assassins.
After the Chairman was assassinated, he has not left the Presidential Palace for two days. Moreover, the assassin was not caught. Even if a little information about the assassin was obtained from the intelligence department, it was of no use.
Xie Jinyuan has seen the photo of the assassin, but it has no value at all. The photo should be from ten years ago. Let’s not talk about how much the appearance of a person has changed from that of himself ten years later. Just talk about such a small photo.
Who can tell what this person looks like with the naked eye?
So the photo was useless, they just got a name and knew he was a good sniper.
So when he arrived at the east city gate, Xie Jinyuan let some of his troops occupy all the commanding heights nearby, to be on guard against assassins shooting at the regimental seat.
Of course, this is not because Xie Jinyuan is making a fuss, and the Japanese assassins will come to assassinate a small regiment leader. Rather, the relevant intelligence agencies have received definite information, and the Japanese army is internally placing a reward on the Dragon Boat Festival's head.
Killing the Dragon Boat Festival will reward you with a reward of 200,000 yuan and a three-level official promotion. If you can capture him alive, this reward should be doubled.
However, the Japanese obviously had no intention of capturing him alive because they thought it would be very difficult to kill Duanwu.
So for this reason, many people want to see what kind of person the Chinese lunatic Duan Wu is who makes the Japanese army frightened and gives them huge headaches.
Of course, there are many people who come to curry favor, such as the military commander, and many people in the central commander want to make friends with Duanwu. After all, Duanwu is now a popular figure around the chairman.
So, after waiting for three hours from six o'clock in the morning, these people were not tired at all, and looked full of expectation.
Finally, the roar of cars was heard outside the east city of Chang'an City, and everyone looked outside the city.
At this moment, on the official road, a convoy of trucks, neatly lined up in a single column, was slowly approaching.
The car was brand new and showed no sign of a long journey, and the soldiers in the car were all in high spirits.
Their total number exceeded 400 people, and they came in 38 trucks.
The people of Nanjing had never seen such a long motorcade and such a neat military appearance.
Not to mention the people of Chang'an, not even the Nanjing defenders and bureaucrats had ever seen him.
When they saw the retreating troops, every one of them looked as disgraced as if they had defeated the attack.
But this team is not only neat in appearance, but also equipped with automatic weapons.
The truck slowly drove into the city, and the people couldn't help but give warm applause.
At this time, it was not because of how big the Dragon Boat Festival officials were, but because this force gave them the greatest confidence in defeating the enemy.
Xie Jinyuan also applauded at this time, and his heart was full of admiration. Because it was not him who took the lead in applauding, nor the officials, but the common people who were the first to applaud. This is public opinion!
"You should be careful and don't let the group suffer any loss."
Xie Jinyuan issued an order, ordering the military police to be on guard against assassins. But at this time, those officials had already greeted him.
"Special Commissioner, I am Xiao Liu from the Central Military Commission..."
"Special Commissioner, I am Xiao Zhang from the military command."
"Special Commissioner, I am Wang Yifei from the Ministry of Military Affairs..."
"Special Commissioner, I am Zhang Liang from the Third War Zone Commander's Department..."
·············
As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival got off the bus, a group of people gathered around and blocked the Dragon Boat Festival with their heads.
"Baga, these people are really in the way."
Five hundred meters away from the city gate, at the fifth-floor window of the tower, a sturdy man in a suit took his glasses away from the scope. And at his feet lay the bodies of two gendarmerie soldiers.
But the gendarmerie stationed in this attic was not just these two people, but eight people. And a girl in a cheongsam was slowly licking the blood on a curved scimitar and walking in a straight line.
Come.
The girl walked to the window, with a coquettish face that was beyond beautiful.
She also said in Japanese: "Hawkeye's order is to kill. Don't miss it. Otherwise, I will be punished with you."
The man in black said disdainfully: "It's only five hundred meters. At this distance, I won't miss it even with my eyes closed."
The coquettish woman said: "If you don't brag, can you die?"
The man in black smiled evilly and said: "I don't know if I will die if I don't blow, but you will definitely die if you don't blow, hahaha!"
The voluptuous woman glared at the other person. If it weren't for the important task, she would have cut the other person's throat! ...
