076 Rogues
When the two groups of men started to clear from both ends, Pu Su took the remaining group of team members directly through an alley and came to the door of a magnificent house.
This is a set of typical Jiangnan style courtyards. It has an architectural style of high walls and tiles, black doors and moon windows, and enclosed courtyards.
At this time, the three team members went around to the backyard to squat to prevent the people inside from jumping over the wall in the backyard to escape.
The courtyard wall is very high, and two team members climbed over the wall from the front yard with a grappling hook. Then only half a whimper came from the courtyard and then there was no movement, and the heavy portal was opened by the team members from the inside.
In the yard near the gate lay a man and a dog.
A large wolfhound was stabbed by a dagger, and although it was out of breath, its body was still convulsing due to the nerve reflex.
And lying on the other side, a middle-aged man dressed as a nurse, the brains that burst out of the back of his head were already dripping all over the ground at this time.
After entering, they realized that it was a triple courtyard, and the first entrance was obviously not their goal. Leaving a member of the team with a submachine gun to guard at the door, Pu Su quickly entered the second entrance with the rest of the people.
The layout in the courtyard of the second entrance is obviously more refined, with only the left and right wings and a courtyard. At the back is a plum-shaped inner door that leads to the innermost inner courtyard.
Another member of the team stayed in the yard with a gun on guard. Pu Su led people through the inner door quickly and entered the inner courtyard.
At this time, there was a member of the team in each of the first two courtyards with a submachine gun on guard. Whenever someone breaks out of the house, the first thing they will eat is a shuttle bullet.
At the plum blossom-shaped inner door, Pu Su left another team member, and this node position can play a role in echoing inside and outside.
There are a lot of wings in this three-entry mansion, and there must be a target retinue and guards in it. Theoretically, they should be cleaned one by one before entering the inner courtyard.
Just because there is no way to ensure that the clearance that is going on on on the street will not trigger a shootout that will alarm the targets in the yard. Therefore, Pu Su chose to go directly to the inner courtyard and take the lead in solving the primary goal more securely.
After entering the inner courtyard, under the windows of the wings on the left and right, there was another team member squatting down. As soon as there is movement inside, they will immediately break the glass and stick the muzzle of the submachine gun into it for a covering strafing.
At this time, Pu Su came to the main gate with the remaining three team members.
A masked team member asked for instructions to raise his foot and kick the door, but he shook his head to stop him. He tried to nudge the door panel, and found that the Chinese gate had a deadbolt on the inside.
He pulled out the dagger that hung from the outside of his thigh, reached into the crack in the door, and gently flicked the wooden deadbolt from the correct position.
When the deadbolt was lifted, he didn't immediately push the door in.
He is well aware of the characteristics of this Chinese-style gate. Because it is made of wood and has a mortise and tenon structure, even if it is often oiled, it will make a harsh "creaking" sound as long as it is pushed, and the slower it is pushed, the louder the sound will be.
Rather than possibly guarding the people inside, it is better to break in quickly and launch a strong attack!
At this time, he nodded to the team and stretched out his finger to make a countdown.

At this time, on the mahogany couch in the house, Ding Guangkun was too addicted to opium and was sleeping soundly.
He is a big character in the Green Gang, and he is the same generation as the current big boss of the Green Gang, Boss Du.
Ding Guangkun is already married and has three children. Although he had a certain status in the Qing Gang before, he not only controlled the golden area of Caojiadu in western Huxi, but also had many protégés.
But now he is full of resentment towards Boss Du.
He believes that Boss Du's behavior of directly giving up the foundation in Shanghai and fleeing Hong Kong earlier is a complete betrayal of the entire Green Gang.
In his opinion, Boss Du's behavior not only betrayed Master Zu. At the same time, he betrayed the backbone of the gang who was the same as him Ding Guangkun and spared no effort to support him in charge of the mountain gate.
For himself, he was not particularly concerned about the fall of Shanghai. Because even if the national army was defeated and the mountains and rivers were discolored, he did not suffer any personal losses.
Boss Du's escape actually did not make him suffer any blows. On the contrary, he has benefited a lot, controlled more territory, and has more power.
Even, because of No. 76, he Ding Guangkun also found an official position in the puppet government.
Judging from the current situation of the Japanese on the battlefield, as long as they serve the Wang puppet government well, it is very likely that his future power in the rivers and lakes of Shanghai will not be worse than that of Boss Du.
So he believes that his hatred of Boss Du is not out of personal interests.
In his heart, Ding Guangkun thinks that he is a character who loves gangs very much. Without the Qingbang Mountain Gate, there would be no Ding Guangkun today.
As a staunch and thorough gang member, he believes that whoever betrays the interests of the gang must clear the door for the gang to show his loyalty to the gang.
During this period in Shanghai, there were actually not one or two hooligans with his views. But in the name of the leader of Branch No. 76 like him, there are really not many hooligans who receive monthly salaries in the puppet government of Nanjing.
Boss Du is definitely not a good person.
In Shanghai and even in the whole country, his role is basically extremely dark and negative.
It is said that 70 percent of the workers in Shanghai at that time were members of the Green Gang. The power in Shanghai has long gone beyond the scope of the Green Gang.
Moreover, he has a pivotal position in the political circles, financial circles, and the Youth Gang, so in Shanghai, even the old-timers of the "big" generation have to respect him for three points, and dare not make mistakes.
It's just that although Boss Du is not a good person, he can be called a Chinese!
When it comes to Boss Du, his anti-Japanese behavior cannot be bypassed, and anti-Japanese resistance is also the most worthwhile part of his life.
As a hooligan, it is very rare to be able to not surrender to foreign enemies when the Chinese nation is facing a crisis, and still be able to rely on his own ability and the Japanese invaders to fight wits and courage.
Boss Du, Jute Pi, and Zhang Xiaolin, the three tycoons of the Shanghai gang. Boss Du resisted Japan, and Jute Pi was not a traitor, only Zhang Xiaolin was a traitor.
Pu Su's current "superior" Chen Gongshu has launched several assassinations against Zhang Xiaolin, but unfortunately they all failed.
The timeline of Boss Du's anti-Japanese resistance is very long, and it will be very complicated to write it in several stages.
In short, after the September 18 Incident in 1931, Boss Du initiated the "Shanghai Anti-Japanese Salvation Association" with the support of the Kuomintang, which was later renamed the "Shanghai Anti-Japanese Salvation Association", and he was a clear-cut anti-Japanese element from then on.
After the July 7 Incident in 1937, Boss Du planned to organize the "Preparatory Meeting of the Shanghai Anti-Enemy Support Association", and the Anti-Enemy Support Association set up a fundraising committee.
He is really powerful, and he has raised more than 150 yuan in just over a month. In the fundraising activities, Boss Du personally paid a lot of property.
At the beginning of the August 13 Anti-Japanese War, Boss Du initiated the organization of the Shanghai Ambulance Committee, which became ten ambulance teams, 13 first aid teams and so on.
He not only went to the front line to distribute consolation supplies, but also did his best to get urgently needed communication equipment for the army, an armored car, and also raised food for the lone army led by Xie Jinyuan.
After that, Daley, the head of the military command's special service, quietly visited Boss Du and organized the Loyal National Salvation Army with him, and the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army of more than 10,000 people was divided into five detachments and a special service brigade.
Because it is a team that has just been pulled up, the combat ability is poor, but most of the members are brave and tenacious.
The Loyal National Salvation Army cooperated with the regular Kuomintang army to block the Japanese army, of which the fourth detachment was all killed, the fifth detachment went underground, the first and second detachments went to Pudong to fight guerrillas, and the third detachment withdrew to the concession to carry out anti-Japanese work.
In October of the same year, Boss Du received a letter from Pan Hanlian, the representative of the Eighth Route Army in Shanghai, hoping that compatriots would donate gas masks. Boss Du didn't say a word, and donated 1,000 gas masks worth 16,000 yuan to the Eighth Route Army.
After the fall of Shanghai, the Japanese have always had illusions about Boss Du, fantasizing that he could be co-opted into the ranks of traitors. The Japanese have studied Boss Du specifically, and based on his family business and power, they believe that he will never leave Shanghai.
However, he still secretly left everything behind and left Shanghai for Hong Kong. Although far away in Hong Kong, his influence is still there, and he is listed in his private residence in Hong Kong.
In Boss Du's life, he has done a lot of bad things, but he has also done a lot of anti-Japanese actions. This can only be said partially.
As a hooligan, although Boss Du cannot be said to be a good person, he can definitely be called a Chinese.
