Chapter 7: Bloody Night (1)
Tang Cheng didn't come back until the middle of the night, and Zhang Jianghe asked as usual after getting up in the morning, but Tang Cheng cleverly diverted the topic. At breakfast, Wang Liang appeared in the ward again, this time he did not avoid Tang Cheng, and went straight to Zhang Jianghe to mention the matter of sending people from Nanjing. "Commissioner, there are a few people sent from the headquarters, obviously to take revenge on the Japanese." As Wang Liang spoke, he secretly paid attention to Tang Cheng's expression and reaction, but unfortunately, Tang Cheng's expression did not change in the slightest.
"It seems that the headquarters is disappointed in us!" Zhang Jianghe's reaction was a little dry, as an injured person, Zhang Jianghe naturally didn't need to pay attention to the reprimand from the headquarters, in fact, his mission to Shanghai had already been completed, and the relevant reports had already been sent back to the Nanjing headquarters, if it wasn't for the injury and needed to stay in the hospital to recuperate, maybe Zhang Jianghe would have already received an order to return to the Nanjing headquarters immediately. Zhang Jianghe's attitude was very vague, although Wang Liang said that his heart was on fire, he had no way to accuse the other party, after all, Zhang Jianghe's level was two levels higher than him.
Tang Cheng on the side only cared about eating, and did not have the slightest reaction to what Wang Liang and Zhang Jianghe said at the moment, and he didn't want to pay attention to it. Tang Cheng knew about the Nanjing headquarters sending people to Shanghai far earlier than Wang Liang and Zhang Jianghe, and Tang Cheng also knew that those people had entered Shanghai in two groups. The people Wang Liang just mentioned were only the ones who were on the surface, and there were some people with better skills who arrived in Shanghai only one day later than Tang Cheng.
When he was in Nanjing, neither Bai Zhanshan nor the director had any intention of asking Tang Cheng to meet these two groups of people. Tang Cheng naturally pretended not to know about this, and at this moment, Tang Cheng had no idea of meeting those people, after all, his plan of action had been prepared, and everything was just waiting for the night to come. After filling his stomach simply and quickly, Tang Cheng slept on the other bed in the ward until dinner time, just like yesterday.
"Uncle Zhang, I have something to do tonight, and I may have to come back later. If... I mean, if I don't come back, the people in my family will depend on you to take care of it, Uncle Zhang. Tang Cheng didn't finish eating, just cleaned up and left the hospital. Zhang Jianghe had the heart to stop him, but he was still a seriously injured man at the moment, even if he was intact, I was afraid that he would not be able to stop Tang Cheng. After leaving the hospital, Tang Cheng first went to find a bathroom to take a shower, then changed into new clothes, and went to find a hotel near Hongkou District to stay.
Before it got dark, Tang Cheng, who had eaten his stomach, appeared in Hongkou District, and in the place he had been optimistic about last night, Tang Cheng hid the two pots of gasoline in his equipment bag. Although Tang Cheng's carry-on equipment bag is magical, it can only hold items weighing no more than 7 kilograms, and if Tang Cheng puts the weapons and ammunition he used tonight into the equipment bag, then he will not have extra place to carry gasoline. In desperation, Tang Cheng could only enter the Hongkou District in advance, first hide the two pots of gasoline in the equipment bag, and then return to the hotel to pack his weapons and ammunition into the equipment bag and bring them into the Hongkou District.
Although it looked a lot more cumbersome to replace one step with two steps, it was so safe, and before it got dark, Tang Cheng finally made all the preparations. When he entered the Hongkou District again, it was already after dark, and Tang Cheng, dressed in a plaid suit, quickly appeared at the door of the tavern along yesterday's route. "Mr. Sato, you came a little earlier today than yesterday." At the door of the izakaya, it was still the same hostess from yesterday, like a flower smiling at the moment.
Tang Cheng also grinned, and then took out a banknote from the briefcase he was carrying and quietly stuffed it to the other party, who smiled even more happily. "It's the same as yesterday, the person I invited doesn't know when it will come tonight, I'll stay alone for a while." It's still the private room last night, but Tang Cheng didn't call the geisha in tonight, and the waitress who got the tip was very eye-catching and didn't continue to recommend the geisha performance to Tang Cheng.
The same wine and food as last night were quickly brought in, and Tang Cheng was alone in the private room, quietly pushing open a gap in the door. As time passed, the izakaya, which had been originally a small number of guests, soon became lively, and the noise spread from the outside into the private room, making Tang Cheng's eyes slowly show a little coldness. It's just that as other private rooms on the second floor have been entered one after another, Miyamoto Nogawa has not appeared for a long time, and Tang Cheng, who has looked down at his watch several times, is already a little unable to sit still at the moment.
Downstairs, a drunken officer pulled the hostess to dance, and the atmosphere in the izakaya instantly reached **, and soon there were drinkers joining one after another, and at this time, Tang Cheng in the private room on the second floor saw a familiar face through the gap in the door. Miyamoto Nogawa finally appeared, only this time, he did not come alone, beside him, there were two Japanese officers in military uniforms, and two men in plainclothes.
The goal that he had been waiting for finally appeared, but Tang Cheng, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately relaxed, and when Miyamoto Nogawa and the others were personally led up to the second floor by the smiling and groaning izakaya proprietress herself, Tang Cheng immediately took action. There were only a few private rooms on the second floor, and Tang Cheng just took the opportunity to go to the toilet, so he immediately figured out the location of the private room where Miyamoto Nogawa and the others were. According to Tang Cheng's original plan, he should leave the izakaya first, and then with the help of light body skills, he burst into the private room where Miyamoto Nogawa and the others were from the outside through the window on the back wall of the izakaya, and then left with one blow.
But when he saw the Japanese officers dancing and laughing in the hall on the first floor of the izakaya, Tang Cheng suddenly changed his mind, perhaps the blood washed this izakaya made the Japanese panic even more. Tang Cheng secretly counted the number of people in the izakaya, counting all the Japanese in the private rooms on the second floor, there were at least 50 Japanese people gathered in this izakaya at the moment. To Tang Cheng's secret rejoicing, the Japanese officers downstairs didn't seem to be carrying firearms, but only the command knives they were wearing.
When Tang Cheng asked the restaurant owner to help him make a fake identity, he also bought an MP18*** and 300 rounds of ammunition from the other party. The MP18***'s empty gun weighs more than 4 kilograms, and with the bullets and magazines used, his carry-on bag is clearly insufficient. For tonight's assassination operation, Tang Cheng brought this mp18*** and all the bullets, for which Tang Cheng also prepared a briefcase to store his fast and slow machine shell gun.
Tang Cheng's fast and slow machine shell gun was disassembled and put into the briefcase, and at this moment, seeing that the target appeared and had locked the position, Tang Cheng, who returned to the private room, immediately opened the briefcase and began to assemble the shell gun. The well-maintained shell gun was quickly assembled, and Tang Cheng immediately took off his suit jacket, took out four spare magazines from his briefcase, and inserted them diagonally into the pockets of his suit vest. About a quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Tang Cheng in the private room also made all the preparations, and finally fastened his shoelaces, and Tang Cheng, who was carrying a shell gun in his right hand, slowly opened the door of the private room.
The 2nd floor of the izakaya is in the shape of a hollow zigzag, and the private room of Tang Cheng is located directly opposite the gate of the izakaya, there is a private room on the left and right sides, and there are two private rooms in the cloisters on the left and right sides, and the main purpose of Tang Cheng's visit to Shanghai is to assassinate Miyamoto Nogawa, so the first thing he focused on was the private room where Miyamoto Nogawa was located. Miyamoto Nogawa came a little late tonight, and the two Japanese officers who were with him belonged to the gendarmerie, and the two men in civilian clothes were Japanese plainclothes members of the special high school.
The plan of action to ambush Zhang Jianghe was planned by Miyamoto Nokawa, and he was the one who commanded the ambush in the end, but what Miyamoto Nokawa didn't expect was that Zhang Jianghe didn't die. The ambush target did not die, and this news has been confirmed through Miyamoto Haruko, who fears retaliation from the intelligence department, has been carrying two Japanese civilian clothes with him since yesterday as bodyguards.
This izakaya is the meeting place agreed with Haruko Miyamoto, and the main purpose of Miyamoto Nokawa's visit tonight is to find out if there is a possibility of doing something from the hospital. The agreed meeting time has long passed, but Miyamoto Haruko has not yet appeared, and because of the two military police officers, Miyamoto Nogawa has to wait patiently. "Senior Miyamoto, I see that you are a little distracted, have you encountered something difficult?" Kogoro, who had already taken off his military shirt, looked at Miyamoto Nogawa with a concerned expression.
Kogoro and Aso, who served in the military police, were classmates in the same high school as Miyamoto Nokawa, and it was a lucky thing to meet former high school classmates in Shanghai, so the three of them would often get together. As for Kogoro and Aso appearing here tonight, it was actually just a coincidence, but Miyamoto Nokawa, who was asked by Kogoro, had no way to tell these two friends about Haruko Miyamoto.
"I'll go out for a while!" After a few glasses of sake, Miyamoto Nogawa couldn't sit still, and then got up and wanted to leave the private room to take a breath outside under the pretext of going to the toilet. Seeing this, the two special high school plainclothes who had been guarding Miyamoto Nokawa naturally got up and followed, but they were stopped by Miyamoto Nokawa, who didn't care, with a wave of his hand. "It doesn't matter, I'm here a lot, there's no need to be so nervous." As he spoke, Miyamoto Nogawa reached out and pushed the door of the room.
"Nani? Who are you? "The wooden door of the private room was pulled open from the inside by Miyamoto Nogawa, but before Miyamoto Nogawa's right foot stepped out of the private room, a black hole suddenly appeared in his sight. Poof!" With a soft sound, Tang Cheng, who was standing outside the private room, didn't give Miyamoto Nogawa time to react at all, but after the other party subconsciously asked that sentence, he immediately pulled the trigger of the shell gun. The shell gun equipped with *** made only a small sound, and the noise was almost inaudible under the noise downstairs.
