Good timing?

Liu Xuan couldn't help but pause.

The Japanese are now frightened by the bombing of the playground of a Japanese elementary school on North Sichuan Road this morning, and they have markedly raised their vigilance in the Hongkou area by several levels. As one of the core areas in Hongkou area, Zhapu Road is certainly one of the areas with the highest alert level in the Hongkou area, although it is not as good as North Sichuan Road.

Therefore, in Liu Xuan's opinion, if you want to go to Zhapu Road tonight to deal with Tanimura Xia Chuan, the danger will be many times higher than usual, and it is not a good time anyway.

Of course, Liu Xuan was stunned, not that he was afraid to carry out this task tonight. He is bold, he has never been afraid to carry out dangerous tasks, and the more dangerous the task, the more excited and exciting he feels, and the more he has a sense of accomplishment.

Obviously, the danger of going to deal with Tanimura Natsukawa tonight has increased many times, why did Stationmaster Lin say that it was a good time?

Lin Jiangbei saw Liu Xuanleng for a moment, and naturally understood what Liu Xuan was thinking, so he asked him with a smile: "Old Liu, do you think that the Japanese will be heavily guarded tonight because of the stimulation of the bombing, so at this time, we will go to Zhapu Road to deal with Gucun Xia Xuan, which is the time when the danger factor is the highest?" ”

Liu Xuan naturally wouldn't hide his thoughts in front of Lin Jiangbei, nodded and replied, "That's right, Stationmaster Lin, I do think so." ”

"If there is only one incident that happened today in the Japanese elementary school playground explosion that we created, now we are going to carry out the task of ending the nest of Tanimura Natsukawa, which is naturally the most dangerous time." Since Lin Jiangbei has decided to train Liu Xuan to be his most effective assistant, he will naturally not give up all opportunities to teach Liu Xuan, "However, there is another thing that happened today, that is, the old drunkard was poisoned. ”

He told Liu Xuan in detail about the poisoning of the old drunkard, and finally told Liu Xuan that he asked Zhang Shixue to ask Colonel Price to send out his marines and enter the public concession to carry out patrols, so as to deter the murderer who poisoned the old drunkard and the forces behind him, so that they would retreat at home and not act rashly.

"Lao Liu," Lin Jiangbei said, "think about it, if you were the person in charge of the Special High Section of the Police Department of the Consulate General of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai, how would you react when you heard the news that the US marines in Shanghai had launched a large-scale campaign against the poisoning of an old drunkard?" ”

Liu Xuan looked at the flying knife flowers on the back of his hand, and groaned for a while, before he looked up at Lin Jiangbei, "Stationmaster Lin, I think that if I were the person in charge of the Special High Section of the Police Department of the Consulate General of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai, after learning the news that the US marines in Shanghai had launched a large-scale campaign against the case of the old drunkard being poisoned, I would inevitably communicate with the heads of various Japanese organs in Shanghai, especially the head of the Japanese Marine Corps who was responsible for the security patrol in the Hongkou area. ”

"Because since the old drunkard was poisoned, it means that the special high section of the police department of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai has already grasped the news that his identity has been exposed, so it will take the first step to poison him to death, so as to cut off the clues, cover the real Japanese mole in the headquarters of the US Marine Corps Expeditionary Force, and at the same time blame West Bryan, in a vain attempt to kill two birds with one stone."

"But the American side was not fooled at all, not only resolutely protecting West Bryan, but also sending his soldiers to protect the scene of the crime in the first place."

"At this time, if the Special High Division of the Police Department of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai received the news that the US Marines were making a large-scale movement in the Public Concession, they would definitely be worried that this was Colonel Price's retaliation against the Japanese mole and the old drunkard who were hiding in the headquarters. Therefore, the person in charge of the special high school will inevitably communicate with the heads of other Japanese organs in Shanghai, especially the Japanese Marine Corps Command, and ask them to pay close attention to the movements of the US Marine Corps. As a result, the attention of the Japanese agencies in Shanghai will inevitably be focused on the Suzhou Creek, closely monitoring the movements of the U.S. Marines on the other side of the Suzhou Creek. In the core area of the day management area like Zhapu Road, the guard will be relaxed. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xuan looked at Lin Jiangbei, "Stationmaster Lin, you asked Secretary Zhang to make this request to Colonel Price, the so-called deterrence of the murderer who poisoned the old drunkard, so that he did not dare to act rashly is just a superficial excuse, the real purpose is to take advantage of the US Marine Corps' large-scale dispatch to attract the attention of the Japanese side, so as to create an excellent opportunity for us to go to Zhapu Road to end the nest of Tanimura Xiachuan." ”

"Yes, that's what it means!" Lin Jiangbei nodded with a smile and said, "However, there is another meaning for Colonel Price to dispatch his marines, which is to completely muddy the situation of the bombing of the Japanese elementary school on North Sichuan Road." Because there are three forces of anti-Japanese elements in South Korea. In addition to the leading members of the Korean Provisional Government headed by Kim Shi and the anti-Japanese elements headed by Lee Se-hui who lived in Soviet Russia, there was also another anti-Japanese element headed by Syngman Rhee who took refuge in the US Government. ”

"Since the bombing of a Japanese elementary school on North Sichuan Road may have been carried out by the ROK Provisional Government headed by Kim Shi in the name of Lee Xi-hui, then there are also anti-Japanese elements headed by Lee Seung-joo who are sheltering in the name of the US Government and are carrying out it in the name of Lee Sei-hui."

In this way, the US Marines' large-scale sortie in the Public Concession can be seen as a deterrent action by the US side against the poisoning of the old drunkard, and it can also be seen as a cover and solidarity action by the US side against the anti-Japanese elements in South Korea of Syngman Rhee and his faction, who caused the bombing, in order to remind the Japanese Marines that the search operation should be stopped in moderation, otherwise the US Marines will inevitably take corresponding countermeasures. For example, the large-scale purge of pro-Japanese elements hidden in the British and American administrative areas of the public concession and so on -- what it is depends on whether the brain-replenishing ability of the heads of Japan's various secret services is developed or not! ”

"Brain replenishment?" Liu Xuanleng paused for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Stationmaster Lin, what kind of ability is the brain replenishment ability?" ”

Lin Jiangbei woke up to the fact that he came up with a new word that definitely did not belong to this era, so he explained to Liu Xuan: "It is the ability of the brain to supplement its imagination." In short, the more the heads of Japan's secret services think about it, the more answers they will get. ”

"Oh, I see, it's the ability to think and guess." Liu Xuan nodded and said.

"yes, that's pretty much it!" Lin Jiangbei nodded and said. Although Liu Xuan's words are vulgar, the general meaning is very different from the meaning of brain supplement.

"To put it bluntly, the Japanese spy agencies in Shanghai are thieves, and when they see that the US Marines are acting differently from the usual, they feel that they are targeting themselves everywhere, so it is not surprising that they have come up with any kind of answer. Stationmaster Lin, you have played this trick really beautifully, the Japanese are trying their best to guard against the actions of the Americans on the other side of the Suzhou River, but they didn't expect that we would give them a black tiger in their core area! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Xuan put away the knife and slammed Lin Jiangbei, "Stationmaster Lin, after holding back in Shanghai for so many days, I can't wait to give the Japanese a heart-warming punch." In this operation, please arrange for me to be the main attacker in any case! ”

"Hehe," Lin Jiangbei laughed and said, "Lao Liu, I don't need you to ask for a fight, I will also arrange for you to be the main attacker in this operation, because I don't have the opportunity to jump from the roof of the apartment building opposite to the roof of the apartment building in Tanimura Xiachuan." ”

Then Lin Jiangbei told Liu Xuan about the action plan he had drawn up, and then repeated it with Liu Xuan and the two of them several times to confirm that there was no problem, so the two of them immediately started preparations.

Liu Xuan first rode a bicycle according to Lin Jiangbei's request and rushed to Xiafei Road to buy a pair of American-made Bailiwei military boots and came back. The Paliway boots were the largest supplier of boots to the U.S. Army, and were worn by the Marines of the 4th Marine Regiment under Colonel Price.

At the same time, because the quality of this kind of military boots is relatively good, there are Bailiwei military boots for sale in the department stores in the two most prosperous areas of Shanghai, Nanjing Road and Xiafei Road.

Taking advantage of Liu Xuan's time to buy Bailiwei military boots, Lin Jiangbei found a pencil from the study on the second floor, and then used several seemingly ordinary daily necessities and chemical raw materials to start transforming this pencil.

Half an hour later, when Liu Xuan rushed back with a pair of Bailiwei military boots, Lin Jiangbei had already transformed the pencil into an extremely lethal incendiary bullet pencil.

From the outside, the modified incendiary pencil is nothing like a regular pencil. However, the lead core in the middle of the glass tube has been replaced by a copper partition in the middle of the glass tube. When used, simply break the incendiary pencil and then the air enters the glass tube to produce a chemical that erodes the thin sheet of copper and mixes with another chemical to produce a strong white flame.

Due to the chemical properties, this white flame is extremely combustible and can only make the flame burn more violently if the traditional method of using water to extinguish the fire.

After Liu Xuan listened to Lin Jiangbei's explanation, he was even more shocked by Lin Jiangbei. The last cake bomb and timed detonation device had already made him marvel at Lin Jiangbei's chemical technology, but he didn't expect that Lin Jiangbei would come up with something even more awesome this time!

Lin Jiangbei took another Bailiwei military boot, removed one-fifth of the sole from it, and then went through some old treatment. In the end, the original brand new sole of the fifth becomes badly worn, at least a few months on the foot.

Then Lin Jiangbei asked Liu Xuan to change his clothes and personally dressed Liu Xuan. So Liu Xuan, who was flying and jumping off in appearance, suddenly became a simple and wooden rural man who had never seen much of the world.

By this time, their preparations had been completed, and as long as Zhang Shixue called and confirmed that Colonel Price had sent his men to patrol the Public Concession according to their requirements, Lin Jiangbei could take Liu Xuan to set off.

The Molotov cocktail pencil is not made up by the author, it is a real big killer. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the Americans worked closely with the Intelligence Service, and taught Duan Yinong how to use the incendiary pencil.

And Liu Xuan's skills in flying the eaves and walking on the wall are also not made up by the author. During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a snitch Duan Yunpeng in China, because of a dispute with Japanese spies, in a fit of anger, he had the audacity to sneak into the residence of the North China Dispatch Officer where the then commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China, Okamura Ningji, was located. According to the investigation by the Japanese side, Duan Yunpeng jumped over a 6-meter-wide alley from the roof of the barracks on the third floor facing the street and jumped into the Japanese official residence. A total of 1 pistol, 1 gold watch, 5 gold bars, 1 jade ball, 2 golden Buddhas, 5,800 US dollars, 149,600 Japanese yen, 200,000 yuan of fake reserve tickets, 360,000 yuan of military tickets, and 40 taels of gold were stolen.

After the incident, the Japanese side closely investigated, vigorously investigated the light martial arts masters in the Pingjin area, and eliminated suspicions one by one, and finally paid attention to Duan Yunpeng. But Duan Yunpeng fled ahead of schedule and never knew where to go, and the Japanese side found nothing. Okamura Ninji was so heavy that he remembered the incident until many years later, and later wrote in his "Memoirs of Okamura Ninji": "In 1943, when I was serving as the former commander-in-chief of North China, there was an extremely bad theft of thieves from the mansion, and the losses were particularly heavy. Later, although the Japanese Special High School and the Beiping Police Department investigated in many ways, there was no result. ”

It's just that in the middle, the author transferred Duan Yunpeng's ability to Liu Xuan and placed it on Liu Xuan.
