Chapter 283: Assassination (4) (2nd Update)
Where did the gunshots come from? ”
The assassination site was only a few hundred meters away from Yuelai Tower, and the banquet was just over, and many generals were preparing to go back one after another.
As the host, Shang Zhen did not leave in a hurry, and there were Huo Yuzhang, Chen Lie and others who stayed behind, and when they were chatting, they heard gunshots outside.
For a while, their respective guards and other soldiers protected Yuelai Tower, and they were on guard.
"Sir, I don't know!"
After a while, a major in charge of banquet security ran over, looking a little flustered, and came to Shang Zhen panting and reported, "Shang... Chief Shang, out... Something happened! ”
"I know something happened, where the hell is the gunshot? What happened? Shang Zhen said in a deep voice.
"It's the assassination of Deputy Division Commander Leng of the 40th Division!" The major said.
"What? Deputy Commander Leng of the 40th Division? Leng Jie? Que Hanqian stepped forward and asked.
Huo Yuzhang and Chen Lie were also surprised, and their faces were incredible.
"It's Deputy Division Commander Leng Jie!"
"How's Leng Jie?"
"Deputy Division Commander Leng was shot once, and his adjutant Zhang Tao and Division Commander Yang Wenjin were also shot a few times! Commanders, go and take a look, Deputy Division Commander Leng's men have gone crazy and killed several policemen! The major hurriedly said.
"Killed several cops? What's going on? Shang Zhen frowned.
"One of the assassins who assassinated Deputy Division Commander Leng is none other than Deputy Director Tang Jiu of the Police Department!"
"What? Commissioner Chen, what's going on? Shang Zhen looked at the commissioner of the second administrative inspection district next to him, who had not yet left.
Changde belongs to the second administrative inspection district of Hunan Province, and the station was in Changde County before, and now it is in Li County.
This so-called administrative inspection district belongs to the administrative unit between the county and the province, which is equivalent to the prefecture-level city in later generations, and this commissioner is the combination of the senior city officials and the mayor.
Although Commissioner Chen is also a high-ranking official, he still doesn't dare to put on a show in front of Shang Zhen.
"Commander-in-Chief Shang is angry, and the officials don't know about this matter!" Commissioner Chen was also a little surprised, how could the deputy chief of the police department in Changde assassinate a major general and deputy division commander of the Central Army.
You must know that at the banquet just now, that Tang Jiu also attended, if Shang Zhen and the others had an accident, he, the commissioner, would probably be the end.
"Take us right away!"
Huo Yuzhang hurriedly said.
"Sir, isn't it a bit risky? What if there were assassins? The army should be allowed to enter the city, control the situation, and then hunt down the remnants of the Assassins. Someone next to him suggested.
This man's advice is correct, at this time the enemy is in the dark, they are in the light, if the assassin's target is not Leng Jie, but just wants to lure them out, it will not be easy.
And it's not just the assassins in the police, but even the patrolling troops, it's too risky to go out at this time.
"Let the 14th Division immediately send a regiment into the city and block the city gates and various intersections!" Huo Yuzhang ordered.
Regarding Huo Yuzhang's unagreed order, although Shang Zhen was a little displeased, he still nodded.
If there was an accident among the rising stars of the civil engineering department, he would probably be implicated, after all, he held this banquet.
"Do it according to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huo's orders!"
Half an hour later, a regiment of the 14th Division entered the city and drove all the patrol troops back to the barracks, and then the troops of the 14th Division took over the defense of Changde.
Even in the middle of the night, the entry of this fanfare army into the city really made the people in the city worried, and they didn't know what was happening.
Of course, the Changde Police Station will definitely not be able to escape, and all the police, including the police chief, have been temporarily detained.
The police department had nothing to do with this assassination.
Leng Jie and the others were sent to the hospital of the 54th Army as soon as possible, which was requested by Chen Lie, since there were assassins in the patrol force and the police station, then other hospitals in the city did not dare to guarantee whether there were assassins, and only their own military hospitals were safe at this time.
For the time being, Que Hanqian was in charge of tracking down the assassins, while Huo Yuzhang and Chen Lie rushed to the hospital of the 54th Army.
"What's going on? Is Deputy Division Commander Leng in trouble? ”
As soon as he arrived at the hospital and saw Yang Wenjin, Huo Yuzhang couldn't wait to ask.
"Report to Commander Huo, Deputy Division Commander Leng is fine, but his left shoulder is injured, not fatal.
On the contrary, the adjutant of the lowly and cold deputy division commander was seriously injured and was shot several times! Yang Wenjin explained.
"What the hell is going on? How did you meet an assassin? Huo Yuzhang was very puzzled.
If it was an assassination, wouldn't it make more sense to assassinate a general like him or Shang Zhen? How could he assassinate Leng Jie, the deputy division commander.
"It's supposed to be Japanese!" Yang Wenjin hesitated for a moment and said.
"The Japanese? Is there any evidence? Chen Lie asked.
"If you look at the guns and clothing, you can't see any signs of the Japanese, but they have calluses on their feet that are clearly worn in Japanese geta.
The target of these people is Deputy Division Commander Leng, originally Deputy Division Commander Leng would not be injured, but no one expected that the deputy chief of the police department was actually an assassin, if it wasn't for Deputy Division Commander Leng's adjutant pushing him away, maybe he would have been hit to the point! Yang Wenjin explained.
"Japanese?" Huo Yuzhang's face sank, obviously he didn't expect the Japanese to be so shameless and use this method.
Since Leng Jie was not a fatal wound, after the bullet was taken out, the wound was treated and bandaged, but when he thought of Zhang Tao and Yang Wenying's adjutant who were still rescuing, his face was ugly.
"Sir, the deputy director is dead, there is no one alive at the scene, they all committed suicide! Sir, the lowly guards are not thorough, and they are willing to be punished! Wang Guangming stood in front of Leng Jie with self-reproach and asked for sin.
"This has nothing to do with you, sooner or later I will come back with the Japanese for revenge!"
This hatred, Leng Jie will definitely not forget.
At this time, Huo Yuzhang and the others walked in and saw Leng Jie lying on the bed with gauze wrapped around his left shoulder, and the latter saluted with his right hand.
"Chief Huo, Chief Chen!"
"Are you alright?" Huo Yuzhang said with concern.
"Chief Huo, don't worry, you can't die from this injury!" Leng Jie replied.
"You take care of your injuries, I will give you an explanation for this matter, the person who dares to assassinate me, this matter will not be counted like this!
The Changde Police Department, as well as the military commander and the central commander, must give an explanation, otherwise this matter is not over! ”
I don't know if Huo Yuzhang is because his subordinates are assassinated and his face is not good-looking, or if he cares about his subordinates, but one thing is certain, he will not sit idly by.
Otherwise, how could the people below listen to him?
A boss who can't protect his subordinates is destined not to be a good subordinate!
This night, there were many people who couldn't sleep, not to mention Shang Zhen, Huo Yuzhang and others, who learned the news from the Hunan Station of the Military Command in Changsha and Chongqing.
Although the death of a major general and deputy division commander has no impact on the entire country, if the military commander does not give an explanation for this matter, the civil engineering department will definitely not give up.
