Chapter 171: Fighting wits and courage, the line between life and death

The county seat of Lin'an County. The grain depot in the northwest of the county. Inside the south gate of the storeroom.

As soon as Fang Jiren walked to the door, the Japanese second lieutenant on duty led a group of Japanese soldiers to rush in and surrounded the two of them. They pulled the bolt together and raised their rifles to Fong.

"Ahh Fang Jiren was so frightened that he screamed, and the pile of garbage in his arms was scattered on the ground with Takagi Hirochi.

"Huh? What's going on? Although Takagi Hirochi was nervous, he looked at the officer on duty who led the troops calmly and asked.

"Lieutenant Takagi, what are you going to do with a Chinese at the grain depot in the middle of the night?" The second lieutenant officer asked suspiciously.

"Didn't I tell you about it just now? Do you want me to say it a second time? ”

"This person doesn't sleep at home in the middle of the night and runs outside to, which is very suspicious. He didn't tell the truth. ”

"Taijun, I've had diarrhea in the past two days, and I have to run out and pull it a few times a night. My father and mother thought that my shit was too smelly, and forced me to go outside the yard to pull. As a result, I was caught by this Taijun, not to say that I was a thief, but to be arrested and interrogated. Two gentlemen, I am a good citizen, a great good citizen. Let me go home. Francis pleaded with a sad face. At the same time, they are ready to fight desperately. Hum? Just these dozen devils, it shouldn't be a big problem to destroy them.

"Lieutenant Takagi, have you searched and interrogated this Chinese?"

"After a thorough search and interrogation, this person is either a thief or an ordinary civilian living outside the north gate, and there is nothing suspicious."

"That's not right! Lieutenant Takagi, this Chinese is not an ordinary civilian, he is a scout of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Really? You conclude that he was a scout of the Eighth Route Army? So what do you say about him now? ”

"Shoot immediately!"

"Okay, I'll execute the people I arrested." With that, Takagi put down the machine gun, pulled out his pistol and turned to aim it at the hairline on the left side of Francis's head.

Fang Jiren squinted at Takagi's right index finger, which held the gun and hooked the trigger, and the moment before he hooked the trigger, he quietly and quickly tilted his head a little more than an inch to the right.

Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out, and two bullets whizzed past Fong's right scalp, and Fong fell to the ground.

Hiroshi Takagi pulled out his gun and aimed and shot quickly and coherently, without hesitation. Francis's movements of turning his head and falling to the ground were swift and natural. Two people have a heart and know each other; Cooperate tacitly, without hesitation; The action is realistic, and the fake drama is really done; Naturally coherent and all in one go. Done in a very short time. Even if the gods are watching from the side, they can't see any flaws.

Takagi moved his pistol downward and was about to shoot at Francis as he fell to the ground. The second lieutenant officer stepped over and stopped Takagi Hirochi: "Lieutenant Takagi, why did you really shoot?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you say you were going to be shot immediately? ”

"No, no, no. Lieutenant Takagi, I just wanted to scare this Chinese. I didn't expect your marksmanship to be so poor. At such a close distance, I didn't hit. ”

"Humph! Do you think I'm really going to shoot him? I'm trying to scare him, too. Unexpectedly, two gunshots scared him to faint. ”

"Oh? It turns out that Lieutenant Takagi didn't really want to shoot this Chinese at all? ”

"Of course. Captain Nakagawa had already given an order, and without his approval, he was not allowed to shoot Chinese civilians casually. Otherwise, it will affect the prestige of our Imperial Japanese Army, affect the early completion of Japan-China goodwill coexistence and common prosperity, and cause even more desperate resistance from the Chinese. How? Didn't you receive an order from Captain Nakagawa? Well?! Hirotomo Takagi asked with a stern face.

"I—I received an order from Captain Nakagawa, and that's how it was executed."

"Oh? You're trying my guts and my marksmanship, aren't you?! ”

"No, no, no. Please calm Lieutenant Takagi's anger, I have a heavy responsibility, and I apologize for my responsibility. The second lieutenant officer changed the subject again and asked, "Lieutenant Takagi, why did you come to this storeroom?" Important people are being held here, don't you know? ”

"Of course I know that it's because of the important people who are being held here that I'm here, and only here."

"Oh? Why? Lieutenant Takagi please explain. ”

"Nonsense! Don't you know it yourself?! You see, you're throwing sour and rotten garbage everywhere. Now that the weather is so hot, it is easy to have an epidemic. If an important person imprisoned here falls ill and dies, what do we do to exchange the captured members of the royal family and the soldiers of the imperial army with the Eighth Route Army? Well?! ”

"Ouch, I was negligent, I was negligent. Lieutenant Takagi, please. I'll send someone to clean it up right away. Put the gun down! All out! Lieutenant Takagi, it's getting late, please go back. ”

Takagi Hirochi put away his pistol, stretched out his foot and kicked Fang Jiren, who fell to the ground, and said:

"Hey! Get up, hurry! ”

Fang Jiren, who was very anxious, slowly stood up, first touched his head, then touched his chest and back, looked at the two Japanese officers and asked:

"Huh? I'm not dead, am I? Why didn't I die? Taijun, didn't you shoot me twice in the head just now? ”

"Shut up! Don't bother! If you don't get out of here, you're really going to die! Hiroshi Takagi said with a pun.

"Go, go. I'll leave right away. Taijun, I promise, I will never dare to come out in the middle of the night to in the future. With that, Francis walked out the door.

Takagi Hirochi walked outside the door, turned to the second lieutenant officer who was following behind him, and said:

"You remember to me that if anything goes wrong with any important person who is being held here, I, Takagi Hiroshi, will be fully responsible, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you, thank you, Lieutenant Takagi. Please don't report to Captain Nakagawa about littering in the storeroom, please, Lieutenant Takagi. ”

"Humph!" Takagi Hiroshi glared at the second lieutenant officer angrily and left the grain depot with Francis.

Lin'an County. A few miles east of the county seat. North residential area of the railway station. Quadrangle.

The military division of Feiyunzhai stood at the door of the basement with a horse lantern in his hand, happy and anxious in his heart. Yan Bo and his daughter Chunlan stood beside the military advisor.

The basement was full of supplies stolen from Japanese military columns. There are weapons and ammunition, military uniforms, western medicine, canned beef, sake, military maps, and so on.

The military advisor looked at the piles of materials in the basement and said to himself:

"Alas! How can so many good things be shipped out safely and without incident? How can we avoid the strict interrogation of the Japanese army and the detective team? Alas! No, worry; Now that I have it, I'm worried. What should I do? ”

"yes. Master, you have to find a way to get it out quickly. Once the news leaks out of the slightest bit of the news, it will be terrible to attract devils. Yan Bo said anxiously.

"Dad, don't worry, isn't Master trying to figure out a way? If only my brother could come back now. ”

"yes. With Master Long here, there is no way to worry. However, when will Long Ye come back? Alas! The military advisor said with a sigh.

Knock knock. Suddenly, there was a heavy, hurried knock at the back door. The military advisor, Yan Bo, and Chunlan were shocked, and their whole bodies trembled nervously......
