Chapter 47: Operation Failure
"Boom!" There was a bang, and the fire in the distance was soaring, and 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 fire behind him, so that he hiding behind the fence became very eye-catching. "There's someone behind the fence..."Tang Cheng only froze for a moment, and he turned into a backlight under the light of the fire, and he was immediately spotted by the people who came out of the second bungalow, and immediately pointed in the direction of Tang Cheng and shouted.
Tang Cheng, who secretly screamed in his heart, immediately took out the mp40*** from his carry-on equipment bag, and before the people who rushed out of the other bungalows shot at him, Tang Cheng stretched out the barrel of the gun from behind the fence and shot a tongue of fire at the men in suits outside the bungalow. Although the rate of fire of MP40*** is not up to the level that Tang Cheng wants, MP40 is a *** after all, and the rate of fire of *** is far from comparable to that of a pistol.
"Da-da-da... Da Da..."In the rapid and rhythmic gunfire, those men in suits who were only a dozen meters away from Tang Cheng were shot and fell down one after another, and Tang Cheng suddenly realized that tonight's assassination operation might be in vain. Tang Cheng took advantage of the first shot, and with the continuous shooting in his hand, he succeeded in one blow. But the men in suits outside the bungalow were not ordinary people, and the man in the suit who was shot and fell down in the end still pulled the trigger of the pistol when he fell backwards.
The last shot from the other party was not accurate, but it still startled Tang Cheng, who retracted his body, and immediately changed the spare magazine, and when he got up again, the direction that Tang Cheng's muzzle was pointing at was the doors and windows of the row of bungalows. The rapid gunfire rang out again, and there were a lot of bullet holes on the doors and windows of the bungalows in an instant, but Tang Cheng himself didn't know whether the bullets that pierced the doors and windows hit the people in the bungalows.
The rate of fire was very fast, so the bullets in the magazine were quickly emptied by Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng, who emptied two magazines in a row, didn't dare to stay here, and didn't have time to replace the third magazine, so he immediately turned around and left this fence. The sudden explosion and his shooting of the bungalow just now made Tang Cheng understand that tonight's assassination operation was really not successful. Since there is no chance of success, the most important thing at the moment is to get out of here immediately.
Tang Cheng, who left the fence, ran quickly to the wall of the small building behind him, and he had already heard a dense footstep, and Tang Cheng, who was horrified in his heart, couldn't care about it anymore, and threw his flying claws upwards directly, and then launched his light body skills, grabbed the rope and quickly climbed onto the roof. The Japanese military police guarding here were not slow to react, and Tang Cheng was able to climb onto the roof, and more than a dozen Japanese military policemen with rifles ran over from the small building.
It's easy to get in and hard to get out, this sentence only applies to other people, but Tang Cheng doesn't belong to other people's categories, especially for tonight's assassination, Tang Cheng also brought a bottle of gasoline in his carry-on equipment bag. With gasoline, it is convenient for Tang Cheng to set fire anytime and anywhere to divert the attention of the opponent. This bottle of gasoline was originally used by Tang Cheng when he retreated by himself, but now seeing that his action was hopeless, Tang Cheng, who was in a hurry to leave here, used this bottle of gasoline in advance.
"It's on fire... It's on fire..."The fire, which instantly grew larger because of the gasoline, was immediately discovered, and some people shouted for instructions to put out the fire, and some people immediately went to the bungalow behind the fence to check on the damage. Tang Cheng, who had quietly left, didn't know at the moment that his previous inference was not wrong, and in the row of bungalows in front of the fence, one of them was where Yokomoto Ichiro lived tonight. The Kwantung Army had been fighting against the Anti-Japanese Alliance outside the Guandong Army for a long time, and although Yokomoto Ichiro had no reputation and no experience in commanding operations, he had already suffered more than a dozen assassinations outside the Guan.
Ichiro Yokomoto, who has been assassinated many times, although none of the assassins succeeded, he is more afraid of death than anyone else. Even when he came to Shanghai, his residence was guarded by military police, and Yokomoto Ichiro still adhered to the habit he developed when he was outside the gates, and when he rested at night, Yokomoto Ichiro would always quietly change his residence under the cover of the guards around him. Just like tonight, Yokomoto Ichiro was supposed to sleep in the luxurious suite of the small building in front of him, but before he fell asleep, he quietly changed to this row of bungalows.
There were no accidents in the first two nights, but tonight, Ichiro Yokomoto had just fallen asleep when an explosion came from outside the window. A guard who was guarding the next room,In a hurry, he pushed open the door between the two rooms and rushed in.,Yokomoto Ichiro, who didn't wait for the bed to open his eyes, reacted.,The two personal guards took Yokomoto Ichiro off the bed and stuffed it under the bed.。 After the explosion, it was the patrol soldiers in the courtyard shouting and chasing the enemy, and listening to the commotion outside the house, the three of Yokomoto Ichiro stayed in the house out of caution and did not go out.
Waiting until no sound could be heard outside the house, one of Yokomoto Ichiro's guards went out from the next room to check the situation, but when the second explosion and the fire started, he happened to find Tang Cheng hidden behind the fence. Yokomoto Ichiro, who had been hiding under the bed by the guards, was startled by the rapid gunfire outside the room, although Yokomoto Ichiro was not a front-line officer, but he was no stranger to ordnance. The rapid sound of gunfire outside the room sounded unfamiliar, and of all the individual weapons that Yokomoto Ichiro was familiar with, none of them could produce such a gunshot sound.
But this did not prevent Yokomoto Ichiro from continuing to hide under the bed without showing his head, and one of the two guards, after hearing the screams coming from outside the house, cautiously moved to the window to look outside. Yokomoto Ichiro, who was hiding under the bed, also probed out from under the bed at this time, but just in time for Tang Cheng to replace the magazine, he fired at the doors and windows. Yokomoto Ichiro watched his guard lose one of his ears when he was shot in from the window, and such a bloody scene made Yokomoto Ichiro faintly panic when he was angry.
Tang Cheng, who was in a hurry to leave at that time, didn't know these things, if he knew what he was looking for, he was in this row of bungalows at the time, maybe he wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave here. Until he got out of here, Tang Cheng didn't know who had caused the explosion before, and after running quickly along the street for a while, Tang Cheng, who was almost unable to distinguish the direction, immediately got into an alley on the side of the street and moved quickly towards the courtyard where he had stayed in the afternoon.
Now that the sky has not yet dawned, it is obviously impossible to leave Hongkou District at this time, and tonight not only used guns, but also explosions, Tang Cheng guessed that the Japanese army in Shanghai after being annoyed would definitely block the entire Hongkou District to carry out a search. Since he can't leave Hongkou District, he can only find a place to hide first, Tang Cheng didn't do anything to Xu Yingzi and the envoy of the National Salvation Army in the afternoon, the purpose is for now.
The entire Hongkou district was controlled by the Japanese army, and almost all of the Japanese expatriates lived here, so it was not easy to hide their whereabouts in such a place. The tunnels are hidden underground, which is theoretically concealed and safe, 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 searched the entire Hongkou District now.
What's more, Tang Cheng who is in the tunnel can also use the tunnel to transfer his position at any time, and if there is an emergency, the tunnel will be the best way for Tang Cheng to evacuate. The courtyard where Tang Cheng went in the afternoon was empty, and I don't know if the people of the National Salvation Army were afraid of Tang Cheng, or for some other reason, in short, when Tang Cheng turned into the courtyard lightly, he found that there was no one here, but the tunnel was not destroyed.
It's good that the tunnel is still there, and Tang Cheng, who carefully cleaned up the traces behind him, didn't have time to think about it, so he went directly into the tunnel. Tang Cheng's expected blockade and search were far faster than he thought, and Tang Cheng had just gotten into the tunnel, and a large number of military police and plainclothes spies gathered began to blockade the entire Hongkou District in pieces according to the order. The high-ranking members of the military police headquarters who learned that someone had assassinated Ichiro Yokomoto were furious, and if Ichiro Yokomoto died here, they would definitely be punished by their superiors.
In the streets outside, footsteps and knocks sounded one after another, and Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the tunnel, listened quietly through the air vents, and was even more worried about when the Japanese army's search would end. The gendarmes who block the neighborhood knock on the doors and then strictly check everyone's information against the registers provided by the police, so that no one can feel that the fleeing attackers 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 is hiding in the tunnel wakes up from sleep and finds that the time is only 9 o'clock in the morning. The courtyard was still empty, and only the occasional movement of people walking outside the courtyard could be heard, but Tang Cheng did not go out of the tunnel. The Japanese blockade and search were not slow, but they were slow to find the whereabouts of the attackers, and although they tried their best to block the news, someone still deliberately spread the news of last night.
Hongkou District was blocked again, and many people who were concerned about the movements of the Japanese army began to inquire about relevant news through various channels. The news of Ichiro Yokomoto's assassination in Hongkou District was first revealed by a French intelligence trafficker, and then the news was directly spread. Shanghai Station also learned the news, Huang Zengcheng, who was in charge of liaison with Tang Cheng at the time, couldn't remember Tang Cheng's appearance at the moment.
"I really didn't expect that person to be so bold, if I were replaced, I was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to get into Hongkou District!" Huang Zengcheng, who was standing in front of the window, looked into the distance, and the direction he was looking at was the direction of Hongkou District.
