From the end of the Battle of Songhu to the successful capture of Jinling, the capital of the nation, the Japanese army's self-confidence has undoubtedly swelled a lot. After they were stationed in Shanghai, they always felt that no one dared to provoke, not even the arrogant foreigners in the concession.

But no one expected that just when they were planning to stabilize the situation in Shanghai and establish their unique position in Shanghai, so many things would happen one after another. First, the co-opted Qinggang boss was shot, and then the formation of a co-opted agent station was terminated.

The most shocking thing is that the garrison of the Marine Corps, which has a heavy garrison, was suddenly attacked by unknown forces. Before the reinforcements could react, fierce fighting broke out in Financial Street, so that the Japanese had to divide their troops to rush to reinforcements.

Maybe tonight is really a sleepless night for many little devils. Not long after the battle on Financial Street ended, an explosion suddenly sounded in the concession, which was also heavily guarded. The Fuso expatriates who stayed in the concession instantly felt threatened.

Countless calls for help were made to the headquarters in Shanghai to ask for support. In fact, it was just a patrol team that accidentally touched the treacherous mine that Hu Biao had laid earlier. However, the uninformed expatriates mistakenly believed that someone had attacked the concession where they lived.

For a time, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai were non-stop, and they had to divide their troops again to surround the Japanese concession. Then, from the inside out, a careful search was carried out to confirm whether there were any suspects who broke into the concession and caused the so-called bombing.

When the Japanese army blocked the junction into the rental area, Hu Biao and his entourage had already broken out of the encirclement and came to a relatively desolate place on the other side of Suzhou Creek. Then he took a roundabout way to avoid the Japanese blockade line and went out of the city overnight to hide.

Hu Biao, who was responsible for containing the attention of the little devil, and the sniper team, saw that the little devil had followed, and Hu Biao did not force it too much. On the contrary, some tricks were laid, and he felt that Qin Tianyou and the others should break through safely, so he ordered to stop making gunshots and explosions.

As a result, it is obvious that without the guidance of gunshots and explosions, the little devil wants to lock the location of Hu Biao and his party, and it is naturally impossible to do it. By the time the little devil reacted, Hu Biao had successfully come to the outside of the city and detoured back to the concession controlled by the foreigners.

When he returned to the American Concession, seeing that the foreign soldiers on the side of the concession were waiting for him, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "It seems that the movement we made tonight has frightened the foreign devils." At this time, two shots will be fired, and it is estimated that they may really fight with the little devils! ”

"Captain, you're not going to shoot, are you?"

"Forget it! After a night of tossing, let's hurry home and rest. After dawn, take a look at the movement on the street. Judging by the time, the little devil should have found out that something was wrong with the bank. Why didn't the cannon I left go off? ”

"Captain, the explosion trap you set should be inside the vault. If you lock the vault door, it will definitely take a lot of time for the little devil to open it. I guess when we get home, we should be able to hear the explosion coming from there. ”

"Okay, then let's go home first, sit at home and wait for the explosion. The explosion sounded, let's go to sleep again, we must sleep more soundly! ”

Hu Biao, who replied with a smile, was also looking forward to the explosion from Zhengjin Bank. Judging by the amount of explosives he piled up, the Zhengjin Bank was bound to collapse. The little devil who entered the bank was afraid that he would be more than lucky, and there would be no good fruit to eat.

When I arrived at the US Concession, I saw that the guards in charge of the US Concession seemed to have all pulled out. Hu Biao did not go where there were lights, and then walked along the alleys, deliberately avoiding the American soldiers who were in charge of the guards in the concession.

Returning to the rented villa and looking at Du Youfu, who also woke up, Hu Biao was also very surprised: "Uncle Fu, we haven't rested yet?" ”

"Woke up! I was asleep and suddenly I heard an explosion, so I got up and looked, worried that something would happen! ”

"Nothing will happen! Sleep in peace! We're resting too! If there is anything, you will find out when you get up tomorrow. ”

"Good! The little one went to rest! Young master, you should also rest early. ”

Although he was curious about why Hu Biao and the others returned to the villa so late, Du Youfu still didn't ask anything. He knew that if Hu Biao didn't want to say it, then he couldn't ask more. There are some things that the more you know, the more dangerous it is.

The snipers who returned to the second and third floors to rest were some of them coming to the villa for the first time. Seeing that Hu Biao was in the concession, there was such a big house, and it was somewhat surprising. But they didn't say anything, they washed up and got ready to rest.

And at this moment, the little devils who have entered full martial law have begun to carry out a strict investigation around the area of war. Some of the houses where the people live have not escaped the search of the little devils. For a time, the entire area controlled by the Japanese army became a chicken.

Upon learning of the accident on the Financial Street, the foreign consuls and military attachés who were staying in the concession were also worried about the accident at their banks, so they sent personnel and troops to try to enter the Financial Street to inspect the situation. Naturally, the Japanese army refused to agree to this kind of entry.

In the face of the Japanese army's obstruction, many consuls also said directly: "If something happens to our bank, you will bear all the responsibility." We will also send back to the domestic government for your behavior tonight, and make solemn representations and protests to you! ”

If the country where a bank is located makes such a request, the little devil can ignore it. So there are many countries protesting, and the little devils can't hold on. The foreigner consul in the group, the little devil still can't be provoked at the moment.

Just when the foreigner consul was negotiating with the Japanese military headquarters in Shanghai, the Japanese commander who learned of the accident at Zhengjin Bank also ordered the troops to seal off the financial street tightly. Upon learning that the iron door outside the vault had been opened, the Japanese commander realized that the situation was not good.

"Yaga! How could the door of the underground vault be opened so easily? How did those people get into the vault without a key? Has the vault's insurance door been opened? ”

"General, it seems that there is none! When our soldiers checked earlier, they found that the back door of the lobby on the first floor of the bank was wide open, and the iron door of the underground vault was also opened. The only thing that is closed is that the safety door of the underground vault is still locked. ”

"What about the guards on duty at the bank?"

"Only two surviving guards were found, and the rest were killed and blown up! As for the attackers, they said they did not know. The two surviving guards were also awakened by the sound of explosions and gunshots, and their knowledge was extremely limited. ”

"Yaga! These guards are all incompetent, and they will be dealt with later. Such guards are a disgrace to the Empire! ”

"Hey!"

"What about the manager of Zhengjin Bank? Send someone to bring him at once! Yaga, he has the key to the bank vault and knows how to open the underground vault. In addition, the troops were warned not to trespass on other banks and not to provoke conflicts and disputes. ”

"Hey!"

Although this kind of order is somewhat subservient to the foreigners in the concession. But for the sake of the overall situation, the commanders of the Japanese army did not dare to offend those foreigners too much. The previous Jinling incident had already greatly affected the reputation of the Fuso government.

If there are any more protests from many countries, I am afraid that the government will also become very embarrassed. When the time comes, it will naturally be these generals stationed in Shanghai who will be trained. In order to avoid conflict, these generals naturally need to exercise extreme restraint from their subordinates.

When the order reached the already sealed concession, a Japanese squad that was searching for suspects was soon ordered to break into the villa where Yasuaki Ikeda lived. As soon as he entered the door, the team leader who led the team noticed that the situation was wrong.

"Not good! Something should have happened to Mr. Ikeda? Be on guard, step forward and open the door and see what's going on inside! ”

The sound of explosions in the concession has already panicked the diaspora living in the concession, and most of the families are turning on the electric lights and watching the situation outside. Yasuaki Ikeda's home was still dark, and even shouting and knocking on the door went unanswered.

There is only one explanation for this situation, and that is that something happened to Yasuaki Ikeda's family. With the two little devils, carefully open the door. There was a ding-dong sound, and the two grenades hanging on the door quickly fell to the ground, and then exploded.

'Boom' two explosions, the little devil who entered the door was killed instantly, and the wooden door that was opened was also blown to pieces. The little devil who followed behind was also frightened and fell directly to the ground. After confirming the safety, the little devil can only change people to continue to check the situation.

When he came to the bedroom where Yasuaki Ikeda's family was resting, looking at the locked door, a little devil slowly pushed open the door with trembling hands at the signal of the team leader. As a result, just as the little devil feared, there are also traps on this door.

After the two grenades exploded, the little devil who followed quickly saw Yasuaki Ikeda's family tied to the bedside. Looking at Yasuaki Ikeda's family, who were desperately struggling with a frightened face, the little devil who led the team took a long breath.

"Quick, save now! Oh, my God! It's unbelievable that someone really broke into the concession and kidnapped Ikeda's family! ”

Yasuaki Ikeda, who was successfully rescued, suddenly said with a depressed face after listening to the team leader's intention: "I'm guilty!" It's me who I'm sorry for the empire! The kidnappers took my keys and forced me to tell the password to the vault. ”

"You said the password? Those people, who are they? ”

"I don't know! But I can confirm that the person in the lead must be from the Empire, with a Kyoto accent, and knows the bank and me very well. They threatened my son, and I didn't dare to resist at all! ”

"Go and tell the general these words! If something happens to the bank, you're a sinner in the Empire! ”

After listening to what Ikeda said, the team leader knew that the bank was still waiting for news, and he didn't care about continuing to ask, so he immediately sent someone to drive Ikeda to the bank. The time to go back and forth was just enough for Hu Biao to return to the villa in the concession.

When Yasuaki Ikeda was escorted to the bank, the Japanese general, who was personally in charge of handling the bank incident, also said solemnly: "Manager Ikeda, you better hope that the vault is okay." If there's anything to lose in the vault, you're dead. ”

"Hey! It was my fault! I will atone for the Empire! ”

As a bank manager, Yasuaki Ikeda is to blame for such a thing. Regardless of whether the vault was looted or not, Yasuaki Ikeda was dead this time. But everyone hopes that the closed vault has not been opened.

As long as there was no loss of gold and silver currency stored in the vault, and some bank guards and soldiers died, the Japanese generals could accept it. If the bank vault is ransacked, the consequences will be unpredictable!
