The armed forces of the Public Concession and the Ministry of Industry are the International Chamber of Commerce.

In April 1853, because of the Taiping Rebellion, Britain and the United States organized the Shanghai Volunteer Corps in the name of protecting overseas Chinese.

Because the members are more than expatriates, and they are all employees of foreign banks, they were later called the International Business Group. It became a paramilitary force of the concession authorities and assumed the role of maintaining the rule of the concession authorities.

In 1870, the International Chamber of Commerce was taken over by the Shanghai Bureau of Industry and became its permanent institution.

Subsequently, the army was expanded over the years, and its supreme command structure was the general headquarters, with one commander-in-chief and several deputy commanders-in-chief, including cavalry teams, field artillery teams, light artillery teams, engineering teams, ironclad teams, infantry teams, etc.

It has grown to 2,000 people and has become a regular army.

The Merchant Corps of All Nations, except for the Russian Wing, which was on standby, were all of a volunteer nature. There was the Scottish wing, the Jewish wing and the air defense team; There are also Team USA, Portugal Wing, Philippine Wing, and American Machine Gunner Brigade.

In 1900, Japanese expatriates formed the Japanese Volunteer Corps to protect their interests. In 1907, it was reorganized and officially placed under the jurisdiction of the International Chamber of Commerce. Beginning in 1937, when the Songhu Anti-Japanese War broke out and the Japanese army entered Shanghai, the Japanese wing also received training from the special squad of the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai.

The largest of these so-called universal wings is the Russian wing, with a total of three standing wings plus a volunteer unit. It is the only standing force in the public concession, that is, a purely professional soldier.

It's just that these White Russians in the public concession are not the same thing as Alyosha in the French concession.

In 1938, it was this group of Russian wings that was responsible for guarding the "lone army of the four elements" who retreated into the concession. During this period, the soldiers of the Russian Wing forcibly prevented the lone army camp from hoisting the national flag, causing a serious incident in which 41 people were seriously injured and 4 people were killed in the lone army camp, which aroused great indignation and protest among the citizens of Shanghai.

Last September, after the outbreak of World War II, British expatriates who had been in Shanghai returned to China to fight. There were many vacancies in the various institutions of the Ministry of Industry, especially the police department, so the Russian wing was stationed in the barracks of the former British army on Maho Road, and became the absolute armed main force in the current public concession.

In the Alyosha mansion, there are now quite a few White Russians who have withdrawn from the Russian wing. Even in the "Sophia Stormtroopers" who are undergoing special training from Pusu, Andre and Magee were originally professional mercenaries here.

The White Russians who remain in the International Chamber of Commerce basically have no families and no relatives. There is no pursuit of life anymore, and he is in a state of eating and waiting for death.

Molotov was the former captain of the Iron Armor team.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he pulled out a lot of weapons from the Merchant of All Nations. Including a tank, an armored car. brought those compatriots who were willing to follow him to the French Concession.

In view of the fact that they would have to trade with them in the future, Pusu and Alyosha decided to act around the date when the White Russian guards were on duty.

Later, Alyosha found his compatriots in the International Merchant Circle, and in the name of inviting them to participate in traditional Russian festivals, he knocked on the side and learned about the rotation of guards.

Three days later, at two o'clock in the evening, the "Sophia Stormtroopers" all set out and took three cars to get off at an intersection in front of Jiangxi Road. The three drivers in the car did not turn off, two cars stopped at the west intersection and could block the road at any time, and the other car pulled over at the east intersection and was ready to respond.

At this time, all the team members, including Pu Su, were wearing one-piece suits, and the black onesies fit their bodies very well. Before getting out of the car, all the masks were lifted from the back of their shoulders, leaving only a pair of eyes and a mouth on their whole body.

This is the first time that the team has been on duty, and the target is the Ministry of Industry Bureau Building, which is absolutely strong in combat power, and the equipment is also poured out, equipped with the best configuration in the current mansion.

The three remaining cars were equipped with light machine guns in the back, which was a means of interdiction and cover fire. In the event of a situation in the operation, the task is to block reinforcements and cover the retreat of the team.

There were ten members of the squad, plus the captains Alyosha and Pusu, a total of 12 people. For the remaining 9 people, Alyosha led a group, and a total of four people went to touch the sentry first.

The three members of this group were Andre and Magee, as well as another strong man, and their group's mission was to rush forward and capture prisoners. The other trio scattered to follow up, while Pu Su and another sharpshooter were on either side with spears ready to snipe.

Today's rotation sentinels are the Japanese wing, which is why they acted only three days later.

In the previous three days, Pusu had done targeted training for this kind of action. This includes climbing, sentinel, cover, and firepower. I brought forward the subject that was supposed to be the last to be completed.

Moreover, in the past three days, Pu Su also led the team to ride different vehicles around the Ministry of Industry Bureau to observe the building repeatedly. Then go back to the house and assign tasks on the topographic map so that everyone knows exactly what they are going to do.

At this time, Andre and Magee's task is to export violence to solve the gate.

This operation carried an anchor hook, but the height of the wall on this side did not require an anchor hook launcher, Pu Su hid in the dark with a spear, and saw Alyosha throw the anchor hook and put it on the edge of the wall, and then climbed in with another team member in three or two clicks.

The Ministry of Industry and Bureau building is not poorly defended. To enter the central square of the inner courtyard from the gate, you need to pass through two gate posts, and a group of swimming posts are added at night.

It's just that no one has dared to make trouble here all along, and the guards' sense of vigilance is not very strong.

In the plan, Alyosha led his team over the fence and went straight to the second gate. After hearing their whistle signal to take position, Andre and Maggie burst out from both sides of the previously dormant gatepost.

At this point, Pu Su and another sharpshooter each aimed at a guard. If Andre and their raid fails, they will only be able to get rid of the guards before things get worse.

There were no surprises.

Maggie simply jumped out from behind the wooden watchtower, and when the Japanese guard wanted to turn his head, he completed the action of covering his mouth and cutting his throat, and the whole process was completed in one go.

Andre did not act as set out. When questioned after returning to the team, he explained that he had made a judgment based on the situation.

The Japanese in the thirties and forties were indeed too short and were called radish heads. The other guard was no taller than Andrew's armpits.

When he walked out from behind the guard, he felt that it was not enough to bend down and make a movement, so he simply swung the "Skull Crusher" and smashed it directly into the guard's temple with a tapered blunt object at the end of the handle.

Without even a muffled sound, the brains of the Japanese guards splattered out.

Easily dealt with the two guards, he waved outside, and the remaining team of three followed, while Pu Su and another gunner took cover.

Strictly speaking, the Japanese wing in the building of the Ministry of Industry Bureau belonged to the paramilitary civilian armed forces. They were not in the army that invaded China and attacked Shanghai.

However, the two countries are at war with each other, and since it is safer to kill them as the invaded side, there is no need to stay alive.

Pu Su did not hesitate to give the kill order before the action.
