Chapter 3: The Burning of the City of Tokyo
The Japanese in the fireworks screamed miserably, beating each other with the flames on their bodies and fleeing, but where could they escape the fire demon, and they were engulfed again in an instant. Bursts of black smoke rose from the slums of Tokyo City, even if it was a few kilometers away, Zhuo Fei could hear the bursts of miserable howls, Zhuo Fei, who was still secretly applauding, didn't say a word, just looked at the black smoke in a daze.
After quickly using up all the shells, Zhuo Fei did not take the scene, but took out a homemade bomb from his backpack and buried it around the mortar, and then disappeared into the night without looking back. The fire brigade in Tokyo was very hardworking, and after receiving the news that the slums of Tokyo were on fire, they quickly mobilized several fire brigades to fight the fire.
"Hurry, what are you waiting for, pull the faucet over." The firefighters who rushed to the scene of the fire roared, dragging water belts and running towards the fire. He had just run a few steps when a large hand reached out from the side, twisted the fireman's neck, threw it into the fire and disappeared. By the time the other firefighters reacted, they found that the people around them were gone, and the next one might be thrown into the fire.
In the midst of the skyrocketing fire, the silencer-mounted pistol was fired, and there was no movement at all. In the soft sound of the flutter, one firefighter fell headlong. Before the gendarmerie troops arrived, Zhuo Fei had already turned around and ran, and now the city was in a panic, trying to find the murderer in the panicked sea of people was undoubtedly as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
......The director of the Kyoto Metropolitan Police Department was almost so angry that he fainted, slapping the table and slapping his hands swollen like pig's trotters, but there was nothing he could do. The disappearance of a large number of firefighters has made the fire that should have been extinguished more and more difficult to control, and the fire with the help of the wind has become more and more intense.
"Ignore the attackers and put out the fire with all your might." The Metropolitan Police Department turned to the military for help, and the senior officials of the War Department had to give the final order. "Now, I order you to blow up all the houses around the fire at once, and at least clear the separation zone of fifty to one hundred meters for me, so that the fire cannot burn any further." A lieutenant of the gendarmerie yelled at one of his lieutenants.
"Sir, but we don't have any extra explosives......," shouted the military police captain who was grabbed in his uniform.
"Bastard, then let me use someone to dismantle, I don't care what method you use, in short, the isolation zone must be made before the fire spreads, otherwise you will apologize." Gendarme Nakasa continued to shout. "Let them speed up and build the barrier, or it's dangerous." Gendarmerie Nakasa looked at the wooden house area that was on fire everywhere, and shouted with a cry in his voice.
Japan, most of the industrial strength is hidden in these small workshops in the wooden house area, and the parts produced in the small workshops are then transported to large factories for assembly and sent to the front line, these small workshops hidden in the wooden house area or even next to the school are definitely the lifeblood of Japan, if something goes wrong here, the front line will be tight, and a hundred deaths are not enough to atone for the crime. "I'm done......" Looking at the black smoke rising into the sky, Nakasa's eyes were filled with tears, and his hand touched the katana at his waist.
The gendarmerie in the city was urgently called in to fight the fire, and even the 1st Division of the Imperial Palace was dispatched to the fire, but it was outrageous that the gangsters who attacked the firefighters had been hiding around the fire. Not only did they kill firefighters and soldiers everywhere, but they also threw powerful bombs from time to time to destroy fire-fighting vehicles and facilities, so that most of the soldiers who rushed to the fire scene could only use buckets to carry water around to fight the fire, which caused serious obstacles to the fire-fighting operation.
Zhuo Fei had changed into a Japanese military uniform, and after successively using a shell gun equipped with a silencer to kill firefighters and Japanese soldiers, Zhuo Fei's Mauser pistol bullets stored in his baggage had been drastically reduced, and only the last two homemade bombs remained. "Come here, come here, you wait here first, and I will notify the doctors and ambulance personnel to come here to treat your wounds." Zhuo Fei, who was wearing the uniform of the Japanese army, was like a wolf in sheep's clothing at the moment, gathering hundreds of Japanese who had just escaped from the fire into an open space that was not affected by the fire.
"You must not blame me, the blame should be that you are Japanese, and I am Chinese." Zhuo Fei, who suddenly showed a cruel smile, took a few steps back, and in front of everyone's puzzled eyes, the whole person was lying on the side of the street. "Boom" The moment Zhuo Fei stretched out his hand and pressed the handle of the detonator, a ball of fire suddenly burst out from under the feet of the Japanese in the clearing, and the shrapnel and iron nails mixed in the fire also splashed outward with the air wave, and a large cloud of blood mist dispersed in the clearing.
"Over there, over there, I saw it, the attacker ran that way." The group of gendarmes who had arrived in a hurry did not know what was going on here, but when they saw the severed limbs and broken arms scattered around the clearing and the Japanese who had fallen to the ground and groaned, the second lieutenant of the gendarmes who led the group was completely furious. The only Imperial soldier on the scene showed them the direction in which the attackers had fled, and the group of gendarmes hurried after them, along with the Imperial soldier who had shown them the way.
After chasing several streets in succession, the gendarmes did not find the alleged attacker at all, and when they asked the Imperial soldier who showed them the way, he was already gone. "Puff puff puff" Suddenly gunfire flew out in the night, and the shell gun that Zhuo Fei had adjusted to a state of continuous fire kept beating its muzzle, and more than half of the more than 20 gendarmes were knocked down by the bullets fired in the blink of an eye. Zhuo Fei, who had replaced the spare magazine, had another round of scattering, and the Japanese military police who had come here by Zhuo Fei had no way to live.
Attacking firefighters and firefighting soldiers, luring ordinary civilians and gendarmes, Zhuo Fei shuttled back and forth around the fire, seeing that the sky was about to shine, and arranged the last bomb in his baggage in a temporary rescue point, Zhuo Fei disappeared into the night with a little reluctance. Zhuo Fei, who had already killed a little red-eyed, had no idea how many Japanese he had killed, and the shells, bombs, and Mauser rifle cartridges stored in his baggage had all been consumed.
There was a fire in the city of Tokyo, although it was still far away, and Hefman was also very frightened for a while hiding in the bushes on the side of the road, until Zhuo Fei returned safely, and Huffman's pounding heart was a little calmer. "Go ahead, don't ask anything, don't say anything, I'll tell you later." After getting into the car, Zhuo Fei closed his eyes a little tiredly, no matter who was busy for a few hours, he couldn't bear the consumption of physical strength, even Zhuo Fei, who had been strictly trained.
In the early morning, there was no one on the road, and Hefman drove the car almost to fly, and Zhuo Fei, who had his eyes closed, seemed to be napping with his eyes closed, but he was actually looking at the light curtain. When Zhuo Fei first opened the light curtain, the merit points at the bottom of the home page of the light curtain were just over 1200 points, but just a few minutes later, the merit points displayed at the bottom of the home page of the light curtain had soared to 3000 points.
3000 points, this is not 300 points, Zhuo Fei rubbed his eyes in disbelief, yes, it is 3000 points. Looking at the number of merit points that were still increasing at the bottom of the home page of the light curtain, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but cheer secretly, 500 merit points can upgrade the light curtain once, and the 3000 points obtained so far can upgrade the light curtain 6 times. Zhuo Fei and Huffman returned to the Red House Hotel safely without danger, except for Hansen, no one knew that Zhuo Fei had gone out last night, and even the German boss of the Red House only thought that Zhuo Fei had gone out for night fishing last night.
Back at the Red House Hotel, Zhuo Fei and the two locked themselves in their rooms, Huffman was really sleeping and resting, while Zhuo Fei was busy upgrading his light curtain. The light curtain can be upgraded continuously, but the lottery opportunities cannot be accumulated and superimposed, so Zhuo Fei can only upgrade the light curtain first, and then follow a lottery, otherwise the lottery opportunity will be wasted.
The news of the fire in Tokyo was not brought by the vendors who came to the port of Yokohama until noon that day. Hansen's first reaction when he learned of this was not to rejoice, but to feel great fear, and said that his young boss was bold enough, and he actually ran to the Japanese capital to set fire to the capital with only two people. Zhuo Fei, who locked himself in his room, did not know that the news of the fire in Tokyo had spread widely, but the military did not disclose that someone deliberately set the fire, and the people thought that the fire in the wooden house area was really due to the carelessness of the residents.
"Yaga, we must find the person who set the fire, otherwise our Imperial Japanese Army will have no face to speak of." The fire set by Zhuo Fei was known to be completely extinguished in the afternoon of the next day, and the cabinet members who received the casualties and damage figures were furious. All the soldiers, firefighters and even police officers who were in the fire went around to catch the gangsters who set the fire, but they still couldn't find anyone. Yokohama is only a few dozen kilometers away from Tokyo, and it is naturally included in the scope of the search by the military, but with Hansen and them, Zhuo Fei was not interrogated by the Japanese army.
There was no news of the arsonists, and the gendarmes and police, who had been reprimanded by the Cabinet for a succession, simply searched for a group of Chinese expatriates from the city of Tokyo and blamed them for the fire prevention and attacks on the military and police. Zhuo Fei, who learned of this, did not feel guilty for those Chinese expatriates who had been wronged, the motherland had already had a war with Japan, and these Chinese who were still stranded in Japan should be prepared to lose their lives at any time. Compared with the Nationalist government, which had lost its credibility, Zhuo Fei seemed to hate the compatriots who still lived in the enemy country during the war, and in Zhuo Fei's heart, these people could no longer be called compatriots.
