"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

At about 6:05 p.m., at the northwest corner of the Japanese Navy Headquarters compound on Baoshan Road in the Zhabei area of Shanghai, where the munitions warehouse is located, violent explosions erupted one after another, which lasted for five minutes before abruptly stopping.

At the beginning of the first explosion, Zhou Fuhai, who had been appointed as the puppet mayor of Shanghai Tang, was on the stage in the hall on the first floor of the Japanese Navy Club, introducing the distinguished guests present tonight.

After the visit, according to the identity and status of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Zhou Fuhai introduced Vice Admiral Taro Tano, the commander of the Japanese Navy Command, Rear Admiral Dohi En, the head of the Special High School and the Bamboo Agency, the head of the Mei Agency, Osa Kagesa, the deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Iwai Ichiro, and other Japanese military and political dignitaries stationed in Shanghai.

Just as Zhou Fuhai introduced Director Ding Mocun and Deputy Director Li Shijun of the Secret Service Headquarters, as well as Wang Tianmu, who had just been instigated and appointed as a senior adviser to the Secret Service Headquarters, all of a sudden, there was a violent explosion.

Since the munitions warehouse in the northwest corner of the compound of the Japanese Navy Headquarters was less than 300 meters away from the building of the Japanese Navy Club where they were located, almost everyone present felt a strong tremor at the moment when the explosion sounded, and they all held their ears and scattered.

Fortunately, about six years ago, after the 1932 128-Song Shanghai Anti-Japanese War, the building of the Japanese Navy Club dug an underground bomb shelter under the building in the following years to prevent the building from being bombed on a large scale and to minimize the casualties inside.

So, with the deafening explosions one after another, Rear Admiral Dohi Mado, who was in charge of the security work of the Japanese Navy Club building, hurriedly greeted all the distinguished guests present and followed him to the underground air-raid shelter for shelter.

When the violent explosion lasted for about a minute, Dohi Yuan led more than 50 distinguished guests into the underground bomb shelter, and in addition to the above-mentioned people, the Chinese assistant of Iwai Ichiro also accompanied him.

In a short time, the huge building of the Japanese Navy Club had become empty, and the glass inlaid in the windows had been shattered to the ground.

What's going on? Do you hear where this explosion is coming from? Vice Admiral Taro Tano, the commander of the Japanese Navy, who was hiding in an underground bomb shelter, took a long breath of relief and asked everyone present.

At this time, almost everyone present was in shock, where would they listen to the explosion when they heard it just now, and felt the explosion coming from.

Seeing that no one in the audience answered, Taro Taro immediately set his eyes on Dohi Yuan, who was standing not far in front of him, and asked: "Dobo En-kun, you are the best intelligence and espionage expert in our Great Japanese Empire, didn't you hear where the explosion came from just now?" ”

Since they entered the underground bomb shelter, the sound of explosions they heard has decreased by more than 70 percent, and now they are all below 10 meters deep, and it is impossible to make an accurate judgment about the sound of explosions if they listen to them now.

In the face of Taro Tano's inquiry, Tohi Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head gently, and replied with a little helplessness: "Your Excellency, Commander, the incident happened suddenly, without any warning, when I first heard the explosion, I patronized and greeted the distinguished guests present, and entered the underground bomb shelter together, and I didn't have time to care about which direction the explosion came from, and I didn't know where the explosion occurred. I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Commander. ”

After sighing lightly, Taro Taro immediately turned his gaze to Kagesa and asked, "Kagesa-kun, do you know where the explosion outside came from?" ”

Like Doto, Kagesa shook his head and replied slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Embassy and Consulate, I, like Dohi Mado-kun, have no way of knowing where the explosion came from. ”

Seeing that the heads of the two major Japanese intelligence and espionage agencies stationed in Shanghai, Dohi Yuan and Kagesa, did not know where the explosion came from, and Taro Taro Tano couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Because at this moment, Taro Taro Taro is most worried that the sound of this explosion came from the munitions warehouse in the compound of the Japanese Navy Headquarters, because there were a large number of weapons and equipment stacked inside, and once it was blown up, not only would it suffer heavy losses.

Once there is a problem with the munitions depot in the compound of the Japanese Navy Headquarters, the Japanese base camp will certainly investigate the matter, and at that time, he, the commander, will be dismissed from his post and investigated, and the consequences can be said to be unimaginable.

However, when Taro Tanno turned his gaze to Iwai Ichiro who was standing on the side of the rei, his eyes immediately lit up, because a few days ago, he learned from Iwai Ichiro that Iwai Ichiro had been preparing to create an intelligence agency under the supervision of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Special Investigation Institute, on Baoshan Road near the Japanese Navy Club.

Thinking of this, Taro Taro Taro rushed forward in two lunge steps, stood in front of Ichiro Iwai, and asked expectantly, "Iwai-kun, tell me, where did the explosion outside come from?" I think you're sure to give me an answer that won't disappoint me. ”

Iwai Ichiro didn't know how to answer Taro Tano's inquiry, so he turned his gaze to Chen Lei who was standing next to him, and after making a look, he turned to Taro Taro in front of him and replied, "Your Excellency Commander, let my Chinese assistant Chen Leijun answer your question." I don't think his answer will disappoint you. ”

At this point, Iwai Ichiro paused for about five seconds, and seeing that Chen Lei did not speak, he changed his words and hurriedly urged: "Chen Leijun, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and answer the question just raised by His Excellency the Commander on my behalf." ”

After Iwai Ichiro finished urging, Chen Lei almost didn't pause or think, and replied without thinking: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, as far as the first reaction I made in the hall on the first floor just now, the sound of violent explosions that continued outside came from the northeast corner of the courtyard of the Japanese Navy Club. ”

Just now, whether it was Taro Tano's question, or Endoka Tsuchi, Kagezo and Iwai Ichiro answering, they were all speaking Japanese to each other, so when Chen Lei answered, he was also speaking Japanese.

As soon as Chen Lei's voice fell, all the Japanese present, or non-Japanese who could understand Japanese, were suddenly dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Because in their opinion, the sound of violent explosions outside that continued without stopping, if it really came from the northeast of the compound of the Japanese Navy Club, as Chen Lei said, it means that the explosion site is located in the northwest corner of the compound of the Japanese Navy Command - the location of the munitions warehouse.

After listening to Chen Lei's answer, it really did not disappoint Taro Tano, but made him really feel desperate!
