Chapter 20: Trapped in Suzhou City (1)
"Brother, what should we do?" According to what the instructor taught during the training, Zhuo Yan, who was holding an assault rifle in his hand, ignored the surprised gaze of the pedestrian opposite, and only raised his gun diagonally in front of him on his knees. Zhuo Yan was waiting for Zhuo Fei to come up with an idea, in fact, Zhuo Fei himself had no idea, he didn't know that the Tufei Yuan Agency had published a large number of portraits of the two of them and issued a reward order, and at this time, in many places along the Yangtze River, a large number of people in the rivers and lakes who coveted the bounty were looking for the two of them.
"Go" Zhuo Fei opened the map system and searched carefully for a while, and finally determined a direction, relying on the map system that can be called against the sky, Zhuo Fei, who had changed his clothes and dressed like the people in the city, crossed several street corners one after another, and came to a tavern with a Japanese guise outside the door. Suzhou was not very big in the first place, and after the Japanese army occupied here, there were only three wine houses opened by Japanese expatriates, but the one Zhuo Fei and the others saw was the largest chrysanthemum wine house among the three.
Whenever the thick night covers the entire Suzhou City, the Kikuko Sake House will open its doors, and it is also the best Japanese tavern in Suzhou City. But it's only noon, and it's not yet the time for Kikuko Pubya to open for business, and in a room on the second floor of Kikuko Pub, Seto Kikuko, the owner of Kikuko Pub, is busy checking the sales of the previous days in her pajamas.
The table in front of Seto Kikuko was already piled up with banknotes of various denominations, and she whistled with satisfaction, Seto Kikuko took a black bag, leaned over and grabbed the banknotes on the table one by one, and stuffed them into the black bag. The banknotes received by the brewery naturally can't be very clean and neat, and most of the banknotes are crumpled, but it doesn't matter, in Seto Kikuko's opinion, as long as these are real money.
Seto Kikuko neatly put the banknotes into the bag, and was about to put the bag in the drawer when she heard a loud noise downstairs. The frightened Seto Kikuko didn't care about anything else, and the first action she made after coming to her senses was to hide the bag full of banknotes under the bed. After hiding the money, Seto Kikuko got up and walked out of the room and looked downstairs according to the stairs, only to see two young men dressed as civilians in the hall of the tavern that had not yet opened for business.
"Excuse me, we're in a special high class, and we just want to come in and find something to eat." I don't know if Zhuo Fei's smile at the moment attracted Seto Kikuko or because Zhuo Fei's fluent Japanese dispelled Seto Kikuko's vigilance, when Zhuo Fei walked slowly upstairs, Seto Kikuko, who was only wearing pajamas, didn't react at all and just stood on the side of the stairs until the short knife in Zhuo Fei's hand was on Seto Kikuko's neck.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, you are now my captive, don't challenge my patience, as long as you do what I tell you to do, and after we leave, you will continue to live." Seto Kikuko felt the sharpness of the short knife around her neck, and after Zhuo Fei withdrew the short knife a little later, Seto Kikuko, who was already dumbfounded, could only nod and promise that she would act according to Zhuo Fei's instructions.
Kikuko Sake House is a three-story building, the first floor is the hall and kitchen, the second floor is Seto Kikuko's residence and utility room, and the entire third floor is a Japanese-style compartment. "Brother, do we have to stay here?" Zhuo Yan was very puzzled, he didn't understand why the two of them had to hide in such a place.
"Don't ask, we won't stay here for long, now it's just a temporary stay, as soon as it gets dark, let's leave." Zhuo Fei didn't explain too much to Zhuo Yan, but just explained that he took that Japanese woman seriously. After telling Zhuo Yan, Zhuo Fei first went to the kitchen to get some food and Zhuo Yan to eat hastily, and then went to the third floor alone. There will be a sudden pursuit today, Zhuo Fei knows that there must be something wrong, he didn't have time to think about this just now, but now that he has time, Zhuo Fei plans to carefully go through the various encounters just now.
Zhuo Fei's first thought was that his actions in Nanjing City had left a trail, but after carefully recalling the experiences of the two of them in Nanjing City, Zhuo Fei did not find any possibility of leaving any clues. "Is it just an accident?" Zhuo Fei felt that this was an accident, but after thinking about it again, this reason seemed to be a little inexplicable, Suzhou was the first time for the two of them, how could those guys who disguised themselves as small traders know the identities of the two of them.
Thinking about it, Zhuo Fei always sensed that something was wrong, those guys who disguised themselves as small traders appeared too differently, and Zhuo Fei couldn't find a joint explanation. "Could it be that there is a problem in Chongqing? Did someone reveal his mission to the Japanese this time? Zhuo Fei thought for a while before he came up with such an explanation, but after thinking about it carefully, this explanation seemed to make some sense.
Not to mention that he has only taken the initiative to contact him twice along the way, his direction and action goals are completely random, and he will only contact the local intelligence agent to obtain relevant information after he arrives at his destination. I came to Suzhou and had not yet contacted the local underground party organization of the Chinese Communist Party, and the Chongqing side did not know that I had come to Suzhou, so there was no way to talk about the fact that someone would betray their itinerary to the Japanese.
But if not, what could be the problem? Zhuo Fei immediately fell into deep thought. Zhuo Fei and the two hid in the Juzi Wine House, but they were already chatting in Suzhou City, and the garrison of the river river was smashed in the head by the attacker, and the soldiers of the garrison who tried to hunt down the attacker also suffered heavy casualties, but the two attackers suddenly disappeared. "Chief, it's true, Suzhou has confirmed that it is the attacker we are hunting, and the local Zhina gang has identified the two attackers according to the portrait." Tufei Yuan Kenji, who stayed in Nanjing, soon received the news, and it was only an hour before Zhuo Fei and the others exposed their whereabouts in Suzhou.
"Contact the airport, we will rush to Suzhou immediately." While reporting the situation to Nishio Shouzo, and trying to blockade the entire city of Suzhou through Nishio Shouzo, he instructed his assistants to gather an action team and rush to Suzhou. Nishio Shouzo, who found out about the attacker's whereabouts, was also very happy to learn about it, but Nishio Shouzo was interested in the weapons used by the two attackers, rather than really interested in the attacker himself.
The two main airfields of the Japanese army in Nanjing were destroyed, but the Japanese army still had a reserve airstrip, and it was on this airstrip that Tu Feiyuan and his party rushed to Suzhou in a hurry on a transport plane. "This time, we're going to catch those two attackers." Tu Feiyuan's assistants are full of confidence, only Tu Feiyuan has no bottom in his heart, according to the previous performance of these two attackers, Tu Feiyuan is worried that the small Suzhou may not be able to trap them.
The Japanese army was stationed in Suzhou with only one squadron, in addition to about 600 Imperial Cooperative Army troops, and according to the order of Nishio Shouzo, a brigade of Japanese troops who were originally guarding the material reserve point outside the city was also mobilized and was rushing to Suzhou to participate in the blockade operation. It was just a small host city, and more than 1,000 imperial soldiers were mobilized, as well as more than 600 soldiers of the Imperial Association Army to cooperate with the operation, and Nishio Shouzo also thought that the two attackers trapped in Suzhou City would not escape this time.
The city of Suzhou is not big, and the news that the Japanese army is chasing Zhuo Fei has already spread throughout the city, and the underground party organization of the CCP hidden in Suzhou is also very surprised. After some investigation, the Chinese underground party organization without the slightest clue suddenly discovered that the Japanese puppet army had actually begun to seal the city, what happened? Why was the city suddenly locked down? The underground CCP organization in Suzhou immediately reported the situation to his superiors.
This abnormal move of the Japanese army in Suzhou was reported to the joint command headquarters in Chongqing step by step, and after the analysis of the joint intelligence team, Dai Li and Li Kenong were also confused, and they had not heard of any major actions of the Japanese army in Suzhou in advance. The upper and lower levels of the joint command have been immersed in the joy of recruiting new recruits in the past few days, and no one has linked the movements of the Japanese army in Suzhou with Zhuo Fei, and they all think that after Zhuo Fei and the two attack the Japanese airfield in Nanjing, the biggest possibility is to go south to Shanghai.
The Japanese puppet army began to seal the city, but Zhuo Fei and the two in the Juzi Wine House didn't know at all, watching the sky get dark little by little, Zhuo Fei began to retrieve equipment and weapons from the space he carried. Equipped with advanced equipment and weapons that surpass the scientific and technological level of this era for decades, Zhuo Fei didn't think that the small Suzhou City could really trap the two of them, but some necessary preparations still had to be made, after all, he and Zhuo Yan only had one life.
When he put on his equipment and hung the assault rifle on the three-point strap, Zhuo Fei suddenly reached out to support his forehead, "Oops, I made a mistake, I made a mistake." Zhuo Yan didn't know why his brother was like this, but Zhuo Fei was already secretly regretting it in his heart. When I was in Nanjing, I had personally tested the power of heavy mortars, and such a large airport could be destroyed, so why couldn't I use it to deal with the Japanese army's material reserve in Suzhou? At least he and Zhuo Yan don't have to risk their lives to fight any hand-to-hand combat with Japan, if not, they would not be so passively surrounded by the Japanese army in Suzhou City.
"Brother, what about those Japanese women?" While sorting out the equipment and weapons on his body, Zhuo Fei asked Zhuo Fei in a low voice. The Japanese women who lived in the backyard were all locked in the utility room, and they were about to leave, but Zhuo Yan suddenly remembered that the Japanese women had not yet been disposed of. Zhuo Fei thought about it, and went to the utility room with a pistol equipped with a silencer, but after a few soft sounds, Zhuo Fei came out of the utility room with a trace of blood, for the Japanese, Zhuo Fei will never be soft.
