Chapter 69: The Great Havoc in Hongkou District (4)
Tang Cheng, who was quietly hiding in a tavern on the street, was in a good mood and listened to the discussions of the drinkers, but he underestimated the reaction speed and means of Tegaoke. After receiving the news of the attack on the hospital, the Shanghai headquarters of the special high-tech department dispatched a large number of people to the hospital. It's just that before they arrived at the hospital, Tang Cheng had already taken advantage of the chaos to disguise himself as a Japanese officer who had come to the hospital to see a doctor, attacked and killed the military police guarding the hospital gate, and then escaped from the hospital.
The first to arrive at the hospital were the military police, whose combat capabilities were stronger than those of the special high-tech, but other abilities such as tracking or finding clues were not as good as the special high-tech. The first group of members of the special high-tech team who rushed to the hospital saw only a scene of chaos, and the military police unit that blocked the hospital controlled everyone in the hospital in the open space in the courtyard, including the doctors and nurses of the hospital, as well as the wounded Japanese officers and soldiers who were being treated here.
"They were divided into two teams, one of which remained here at the hospital to check the identities of people controlled by the gendarmerie forces. The other team immediately followed the clues provided by the gendarmerie, and I wanted to know who the guy who escaped from the hospital was! Zygote, you call the headquarters immediately and ask for additional manpower, we may have to implement a blockade and a big search of this area! "The one who temporarily commanded this special high-tech team was a middle-aged man named Ichiro Araki, and his niece Icko Araki was also in the team he commanded, and she was standing by his side as a temporary assistant at the moment.
Although Ichiro Araki only sent half of his subordinates to operate this matter, there are still many gendarmes in the hospital who can borrow it, and Ichiro Araki is more concerned about tracking outside the hospital. With the addition of the special high-tech department, the gendarmes who were originally a little dazed and at a loss on the street immediately seemed to be a different person, and under the command of the special high-tech personnel, they implemented a division and blockade of the area outside the hospital, and then carried out strict searches one by one according to the divided area.
Tang Cheng, who was hiding in the tavern, also sensed that things were not going according to his previous expectations, so he immediately got up and left the tavern. I must not sit still, knowing that this is Tang Cheng, which has stabbed a hornet's nest, and constantly changed directions, but I found that the area I was in had been tightly sealed by the Japanese army. In desperation, Tang Cheng had no choice but to turn around again and return to the street where the tavern was located. The news of the gendarmes blocking the street had already spread at this time, but judging by the reaction of the Japanese in this street, it seemed that they did not take it seriously.
After listening carefully, Tang Cheng suddenly realized that most of the Japanese who dared to live in this street were military dependents, and many of their children and relatives served in the Japanese army. The Japanese army is currently on the offensive, and these military dependents living in Shanghai naturally have their tempers, and the gendarmes rarely come to this street in normal times. After hearing this news, Tang Cheng immediately came up with an idea, and he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, so he climbed over the wall from a hidden location and entered a courtyard.
Tang Cheng is not entering the front yard of his residence at the moment, after all, the front yard is facing the street, even if Tang Cheng is hidden when he climbs over the wall, he may be seen by others, so he only enters the backyard. Compared with the front yard facing the street, the small backyard is much quieter, and Tang Cheng, who quietly turned into the backyard, could faintly hear the sound of talking coming from the residence. After landing on his feet, Tang Cheng immediately stood on tiptoe and walked a few steps to the pile of briquettes in the northeast corner of the courtyard.
Many of the buildings in Hongkou District have a strong Japanese style, and the same is true for the residence chosen by Tang Cheng. Paying attention to the sound of speech coming from the residence, Tang Cheng, who moved to the side of the coal pile, secretly activated his light body skill, and quietly stepped on the coal pile and climbed up to the eaves next to it. There is a clear difference between Japanese architecture and Chinese architecture, the eaves of Chinese architecture and the main body of the building are integrated, while the eaves of Japanese architecture are shaped like ancient Chinese cornices, stretching out under the cornices of the roof, enough to hide a large living person.
Of course, Tang Cheng couldn't hide under the eaves so swaggeringly, and Tang Cheng, who climbed under the eaves by stepping on the coal pile, immediately took out the short knife from his carry-on equipment bag, and in just a few clicks, he pried open a piece of the wooden board wall under the eaves. Tang Cheng used a short knife to pry open the wooden walls under the eaves, and he could see the wooden beams at a glance, perhaps the house had been built for a long time, and the wooden beams were covered with cobwebs and a thick layer of ash. Tang Cheng didn't care about this, he directly covered his mouth and nose with a black towel and drilled into the hole in the wall.
Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the wooden beam, held his breath and contemplated, motionless like a mud-born Buddha statue in the temple, but his ears listened carefully to the surrounding movements. In about a quarter of an hour, Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the lower wooden beam, heard a rapid sound of slamming the door, Tang Cheng was secretly in spirit, and the ** pistol held in his right hand was slowly loaded. The gendarmes who raided the street were the ones who smashed the door, but the results of the search were somewhat disappointing to the three Japanese military policemen, who had two men in the house, one of whom was a colleague on leave.
The family was eating, and one of them was a colleague in the gendarmerie unit, and the person being pursued would never have taken refuge in such a place if he had not been an idiot. The three Japanese military policemen who came to search only briefly asked a few words, and after learning that the family had not found the so-called suspicious person, they took their leave and left. Tang Cheng, who was squatting on the wooden beam at the moment, did not expect in advance that the courtyard he had chosen temporarily would have a special opportunity to avoid danger.
Tang Cheng, who was secretly holding back his laughter, shouted at this moment to be glad that he chose not the main house, otherwise he would have been discovered early by the family. The gendarmes searched this street for a long time, but unfortunately they did not find any suspicious people, and the people of the special high-tech department did not give up, so the gendarmes who were forced to do so had to search a second time. Time is approaching the sunset, Tang Cheng, who is squatting on the wooden beam, is still as immobile as a mountain, as long as he holds on until the sun sets, he will be free.
The news sent back by his subordinates made Ichiro Araki, who was sitting in the hospital at the moment, anxious, obviously many people saw the attacker flee into the area on the left side of the hospital, but why did they block and search twice in a row, but still failed to find the trace of the attacker? The fire in the hospital had just been extinguished, and Ichiro Araki brought a few trace experts from the headquarters of the special high-tech department into the scene, watching the corpses be lifted out of the building one after another, Ichiro Araki's expression was already difficult to see.
"Captain Araki, we have preliminarily surveyed the scene, and according to the traces left at the scene and the confessions of the hospital guards, we have preliminarily determined that the attacker started his operation from the fourth floor." The trace experts in charge of surveying the scene on the fourth floor were the first to come out of the building, and with them, there were several distorted and deformed hand ** fragments and a bullet casing. "From the analysis of these hand ** fragments, the attacker should have used a German hand**, which does not exist in the black market at all."
Ichiro Araki squinted his eyes when he heard this, and asked, "You mean to say that the weapons and equipment used by the attackers have nothing to do with the black market..." "You mean to say that the attackers didn't think of this out of the blue, they were premeditated. Those who can use German weapons and military hands should not be resistance forces like stragglers, could it be said..."
Araki Ichiro was quite inferential at the moment, but just thinking about it carefully following the words of the trace expert, Araki Ichiro suddenly thought of the battle a few months ago. Although the Battle of Songhu had been over for several months, if the Japanese army had not taken advantage of the so-called international mediation time to secretly transfer reinforcements from the mainland, perhaps the Japanese army attacking Shanghai would have been driven into the sea by the Chinese army to feed the fish. Although Japan finally won the Battle of Songhu, it was also a relentless victory, and the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties.
After the battle, not only were there many Chinese defeated troops stranded in the concession, but even in the Japanese-controlled areas, there were also Chinese defeated troops hiding. At that time, there were also famous German armourers who participated in the Battle of Songhu, and such authentic German-style hands ** were the weapons of those German armoury troops. If the matter of the hospital is related to the rout of the Central Army stranded in Shanghai, then the problem is big, and the Chinese rout has been touched into the Japanese military hospital, and the responsibility of the special high-tech department cannot be shirked no matter what.
There were many corpses carried out of the hospital building, some of them died from the smoke of the fire, some died from the close-range shooting of bullets, and some died from the explosion of the hand. The bodies that died from choking smoke and bullets at close range were still recognizable, but some of the bodies that died in explosions and fires were unrecognizable. Ichiro Araki now suspects that among the unidentified corpses, there may be an assailant mixed in.
Ichiro Araki did not expect that the attacker who attacked the Japanese army hospital was alone, and neither did the trace experts of the special high-tech department. According to their judgment, there was definitely more than one attacker, and in their cognition, the attacker would never dare to attack rashly in the face of so many Imperial soldiers alone. Neither Ichiro Araki nor the trace experts thought about it, and they thought that the attacker who escaped from the hospital was only one of these attackers.
In Tang Cheng's patient waiting, night finally fell, although the blockade had not been lifted, but Tang Cheng's heart had been hanging on the ground. Under the cover of night, Tang Cheng quietly drilled out of the hole in the wall under the eaves, and without alerting the family in the residence, Tang Cheng quietly moved along the ridge of the roof to the right to another courtyard. This courtyard with no lights, no one is at home at a glance, which is just convenient for Tang City,
