After Xu Jian opened fire, fierce gunfire was heard in the aisle.

Next, Lu Mengxiong and others began to clean up room by room, and all the members of the Zodiac Society in the room failed to escape the bullets of the submachine guns, and some of them were still in their sleep.

The action was very rapid, killing more than 30 members of the East Asian Zodiac Society in less than 10 minutes.

"Company Commander Lu, the upstairs is cleaned up, retreat!" Xu Jian saw that all the rooms had been cleaned up, and suggested that everyone retreat.

"Okay, after throwing a grenade in each room, everyone retreats immediately." Lu Mengxiong said loudly.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

As the sound of grenade explosions sounded one after another, Lu Mengxiong and his party immediately took the elevator and soon came to the lobby on the first floor.

"Da, da, da......" Suddenly, in the direction of the parking lot outside the hotel, there was a burst of submachine gunfire.

"Quick! Everyone rushed out, and Brother Feng and the others were on fire with the enemy. Lu Mengxiong ordered.

According to the plan discussed in advance, when the action was made, Feng Chen took Zhang Tiedan and Gu Jiarong, plus five team members, to guard the parking lot to prevent the enemy from stealing bread from outside.

Sure enough, after the gunshots rang out upstairs, three trucks pulled people to the parking lot.

Seeing that it was a member of the Zodiac Society coming, Feng Chen immediately ordered to open fire.

Lu Mengxiong, Xu Jian and the others, after rushing out of the lobby, found Feng Chen and the others exchanging fire with the members of the Zodiac who got off the three trucks.

On three trucks, there were about forty members of the Zodiac.

"Brother Feng, what's going on?" Lu Mengxiong quickly rushed to Feng Chen and asked.

"These members of the Zodiac may have just rushed back from the operation tonight, and they happened to run into it." Feng Chen replied.

"Send it to the door, it's a good thing, why did I say there are so few people upstairs." As he spoke, Lu Mengxiong raised his submachine gun and fired at the truck on the opposite side.

At this time, the back of the truck in which the members of the Zodiac were riding suddenly rang out a chaotic gunshot.

"Company Commander Lu, there is support." Feng Chen said.

"It may be Xiang Huabo Xiang who commands them." Lu Mengxiong replied.

"We can't fall in love with war, we have to fight quickly, because when the Japanese military police come, we will be in big trouble." Feng Chen was a little worried, making such a big move, the Japanese military police would definitely arrive soon.

"Listen up, throw out all the grenades you brought, and then everyone will leave in the car." Lu Mengxiong ordered loudly.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

With the explosion of grenades, Feng Chen and his five small cars quickly left the parking lot of the New Asia Hotel and drove in the direction of the French Concession.

The car arrived at the Japanese military police checkpoint, and after the people who stayed behind got into the car, Lu Mengxiong threw a few grenades into the duty room of the checkpoint, and the five cars roared away.

Entering the French Concession, everyone immediately dispersed and took their places, this is what Feng Chen has always requested, in the concession, they must show the appearance of abiding by the law.

Feng Chen followed Feng Wu and them back to their home at No. 137 Renai Lane.

"Brother, we're leaving tomorrow, take care!" After sitting down in the living room, Feng Wu spoke.

"What are you going to do tomorrow? It's not safe to cross the occupied area. Feng Chen didn't know whether the three of them would take the waterway or the dry road, if they wanted to be fast, it would be convenient to take the waterway.

"Tomorrow there will be a Hong Gang freighter to pull goods for Japanese businessmen to Wuhan, and the three of us will all disguise ourselves as boatmen, and after arriving in Wuhan, we will find a way.

"I will send a report to the Military Command Headquarters early tomorrow morning, and ask the Headquarters to notify the Military Command Wuhan Station to pick you up." Feng Chen felt that there was an underground transportation station escorted by the military commander along the way, so it should be safer.

"Then thank you, brother." Feng Wu was a little sad.

"You guys should rest early, this journey must be dangerous, you should pay more attention." Feng Chen instructed.

Looking at the wall clock on the wall, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, but everyone still didn't feel sleepy.

"Brother Feng, Meng Ying has been okay lately." Lu Mengxiong asked.

"Fortunately, for the sake of safety, I recently let several of them move to live in the Zhonghui Bank building, and when I go out, I arrange for Zhang Tiedan to send someone to protect me, you can rest assured."

Before the July 7 Riots, Feng Chen had always been afraid that the Japanese would retaliate against the reporters and editors of the "Current Affairs Weekly" magazine, so he let everyone move to the Zhonghui Bank building.

The four of them chatted in the living room until four o'clock, and then they washed up and went to bed.

……

The next day, the major newspapers carried the news of Tang Shaoyi's assassination yesterday and the news that the East Asian zodiac on the sixth floor of the New Asia Hotel had been wiped out last night.

What happened all day yesterday shocked and annoyed Kenji Dohihara, and yesterday's events can be said to be on par with the impact of the 77 and 813 riots.

Early in the morning, Kenji Dohihara summoned Ryuichi Hiraoka, Ryuichi Kagesa, Daisa Kuroda and others to a meeting at Shigemitsu Hall in Hongkou to discuss countermeasures.

"In the past two months, a series of terrorist attacks have occurred in the occupied areas of Shanghai against Japan, which is a serious challenge to our Japan. Kenji Dohihara glanced around at the crowd and spoke first.

"Your Excellency General, I still say the same thing, we must find an agent and establish an intelligence agency like the military commander, specifically to deal with the underground infiltrators of the military commander and the central commander." Kagesa Akira suggested.

"Is that okay? Isn't the East Asian Zodiac Society such an organization? Didn't you just let people kill the nest last night? Kenji Tsuchihara asked.

"Your Excellency General, the East Asian Zodiac Society is simply a rabble, that group of people, taking the money given by our Great Japan, eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, occasionally intimidating and intimidating some media organizations, what else can they do?" Kagesa replied.

"Ying Zuojun, then tell me, what kind of talent can compete with the hidden personnel of the military command and the central command?" Kenji Dohihara looked at Kagesa Zhenzhao and asked.

"Li Shiqun." Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao pushed Li Shiqun out again.

"Li Shiqun? Do you mean that Li Shiqun who went to Tang Shaoyi's mansion with us yesterday? Tsuchihara asked.

"Yes, that's him!" Kagesa nodded.

"Isn't this person just a person who sells small information, his No. 67, that is, spying on some inconsequential information, what can he do?" It seems that Tu Feiyuan still doesn't know much about Li Shiqun.

"Your Excellency General, this person has worked in both the Communist Party and the Central Unification, and he knows very well the military unification and the Central Unification, and even the underground organizational system of the Communist Party, and at the same time, this person is also a disciple of the Qing Gang boss Ji Yunqing." Kagezo Zhenzhao did a detailed study of Li Shiqun.

"Okay, let Li Shiqun prepare for the establishment of the secret agency, and Ying Zuojun will be in charge, and when necessary, I can meet this person again." Tu Feiyuan said.

"Your Excellency, I also have a suggestion that the current government of the Restoration is incapable of maintaining law and order in the occupied areas, and we must step up our efforts to find new agents to contend with Chiang Kai-shek." Ryuichi Hiraoka finally spoke.

"Consul General Hiraoka means to step up the implementation of the fishing plan?" Tsuchihara asked.

"Yes, we need to accelerate the division within the national government and form a government that can compete with the Chongqing government, which is the long-term solution." Ryuichi Hiraoka replied.

"I heard that you have recently contacted Gao Zongwu, director of the Asian Department of the National Government, how is it going?"

The assassination of Tang Shaoyi yesterday made Tu Feiyuan change his mind overnight, and he began to think about it, focusing on the existing people within the Nationalist Government who could compete with Chiang Kai-shek.

"Mr. Gao Zongwu may come to Shanghai secretly in the near future, and His Excellency the General can have a good talk with him at that time, and I think there will be something fruitful."

On the point of ruling and conquering the Chinese, Ryuichi Hiraoka, who represents the cabinet, and Kenji Tohihara, who represents the military, have surprisingly consistent views.

"Consul General Hiraoka, I heard that your student has a serious anti-Japanese tendency, and his "Current Affairs Weekly" magazine has been publishing some unfavorable remarks against Japan, why don't you come forward to stop it?" Kenji Dohihara suddenly changed his words and asked about Feng Chen.

"Haha, Your Excellency General, it seems that we have deceived you too, there are no outsiders here today, I simply tell you all the details of him, my student is a secret member of the Sakura Society, he provided us with a lot of top-secret information, I specially asked him to publish anti-Japanese articles to confuse the enemy."

Ryuichi Hiraoka said with a smile.
