Chapter 53: Shot

South Street of Lingqiu County, the back of the county magistrate's yamen, here is the Lingqiu Telegraph Office.

The telegraph, invented in 1837, is exactly a hundred years after its invention today. When the telegram reached China in 1880, in 1881, Guangxu approved Li Hongzhang to establish the China Telegraph Bureau, and the telegraph officially settled in China.

After the establishment of the first telegraph office, telegraph offices were set up one after another in various parts of the country.

From the outside, the telegraph office in Lingqiu City looked a little out of place with the surrounding buildings, unlike the gray bricks and gray tiles next to it. The telegraph office was built in the form of a small two-story building, and the whole building was painted in yellow and white, which looked brighter than the buildings on the left and right.

"Lingqiu County Telegraph Office."

Standing in front of the telegraph office, Yue Siliang read the number in his mouth. The font size on the plaque is written in neat and beautiful italics, and it looks like it is specially invited to write by local celebrities.

"Shopkeeper, brethren are ready."

Lei Zi walked out of the telegraph office and whispered in Yue Siliang's ear.

"Okay, let's go inside."

Yue Siliang said lightly, and at the same time faintly swept the two pseudo-policemen in soap suits standing at the door of the telegraph office.

After entering the telegraph office, Yue Siliang took in the pattern at a glance. Unlike the grandeur that looks from the outside, it looks much shabby and stingy inside, there are only a few telegraphs, and there are very few people who come and go to take telegrams.

It was not a neatly arranged row of transmitters as outsiders might think, but there were only five transmitters against the north wall downstairs, and a few people from the telegraph office walked up and down the stairs on the right side of the first floor. The number of telegraph operators in front of the transmitter was only a dozen or so.

Looking at the rather deserted situation in front of him, Yue Siliang's first reaction was a little surprised, but he soon reacted, after all, this is not a prosperous place, after all, there are still a few people who can shoot telegrams, and the price of telegrams is still a little expensive.

"Shopkeeper, let's go upstairs."

Lei Zi whispered, and the two walked upstairs together.

"Hey! What do you do? Take a telegram and go there, the second floor is not allowed outsiders to enter. ”

The two had barely reached the stairs when a clerk in the telegraph office immediately ran over and took a few steps up the stairs to block the two of them.

"Brother, speak further."

Lei Zi didn't give this person a chance to speak again, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he put his arms around the clerk's neck, and his arm was fiercely retracted, and the clerk was out of breath.

"You ......"

After Lei Zi's hand loosened slightly, the clerk's eyes were full of horror, and he covered his neck and gasped for breath, but he no longer dared to hinder the footsteps of Yue Siliang and Lei Zi.

Up the stairs, the second floor of the telegraph office was mainly responsible for translating the telegrams sent here. At the same time, there was the office of the management of the telegraph office.

"Who are you? How did you get up to the second floor! ”

Seeing Yue Siliang and Lei Zi coming up, the steward sitting in the innermost position saw them at a glance. At that time, he stood up and questioned them loudly. The man was dressed in a well-fitting suit, and his hair was shiny. When talking to Yue Siliang, they also had a sense of arrogance.

"Bang !!"

Yue Siliang didn't talk nonsense with this person, he directly took out the matching gun from his clothes, and hit the lamp on the desk of the steward with one shot, and various parts and broken glass flew to the ground.

"Ah!!h

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the people downstairs exploded in an instant. The unknown is always the most terrifying, and suddenly there is a gunshot from upstairs, and the people on the first floor are the most frightened without knowing what exactly is going on.

On the contrary, the people on the second floor are relatively quiet, and it can be said that they are too scared to speak. Honestly, he held his head and bent down and squatted on the ground.

"What's going on?! Which shot?! Who shoots?! ”

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the two pseudo-policemen guarding the door rushed in at that time, and as they spoke, they pulled out the guns in their waists and raised them in their hands to look around.

"Poof!"

Just as they were looking at where the gunshots were coming from, two black shadows suddenly burst out like leopards. The clamp in his hand stabbed the back of the two pseudo-policemen without hesitation.

"Uh......"

The two pseudo-policemen stiffened their necks and let out a faint hoarse sound from their mouths.

The warrior who had been guarding the dark next to him also took out his dagger and wiped their throats with a bang, completely eliminating the two people.

"No one is allowed to move!"

Accepting the guns from the puppet policemen, the soldiers of the guard platoon shouted loudly.

“……”

Everyone on the first floor fell silent for a moment, and then there was a commotion and then all went into chaos. Frightened, he began to look all over the house for a place to hide.

"Smack!"

Looking at the people running around the room, Wei Tiezhu was irritated for no reason, and raised his hand to shoot at the lamp on the ceiling.

"No one is allowed to move me! Whoever moves again will shoot! ”

The voice of the male duck of the iron pillar was like a broken thunder, which frightened everyone at that time, and stood tremblingly in place and did not move.

"Tiezhu, have a better attitude."

Yue Siliang showed his figure from the second floor at this time, and walked down without a hurry and said with a smile to the two trembling people.

"Don't panic too much, we are not the king of the mountain, nor are we the ringing horses of the green forest. We came to the county this time just for the Japanese and Fan Jianwen, and we have nothing to do with you. I just hope you don't talk nonsense when you go out, otherwise we won't look good with each other! Thank you very much. ”

After saying this, Yue Siliang raised his hand and signaled that the soldiers of the guard platoon could let them out.

Tie Zhu received the order and immediately understood. The soldiers brought the people on the first and second floors together, and seeing that they didn't mess around, they let them out one by one.

Letting out the people in the telegraph office, Yue Siliang had a calculation in his heart. He did this today in order to make a big fuss in the county, interfere with the judgment of the devil, and relieve the siege in the direction of Baiyatai. At the same time, there is another point that can be regarded as Yue Siliang's temporary intention, that is, to cut off one of the claws of the Japanese and get rid of Fan Jianwen, who has long been on his must-kill list!

Since things want to make a big fuss, there is naturally no need to detain these people, and it is one thing not to want to involve unrelated people. Another point is that Yue Siliang wants to spread through these people. What he said just now was very beautiful, and he hoped that these people would not talk nonsense when they went out, but he knew very well in his heart that these people would definitely add fuel and vinegar when they walked out of the telegraph office, and they felt that they were safe.

As long as these people spread the news here, they will definitely be able to blow a gust of wind in the county. When the time comes, as long as the water is muddy, they will win in chaos.

After Yue Siliang and the others were left in the telegraph office, the soldiers immediately closed the door of the telegraph office and guarded it strictly.

Outside the gate, a group of pseudo-policemen had gathered at this time.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, there were already people around the telegraph office to report the news. However, the pseudo-police did not immediately dispatch after learning about the incident, and it was not until the people in the telegraph office finally came out and mentioned that the people inside were aimed at the Japanese and Fan Jianwen, and they realized that this was not a simple shooting.

Of course, after realizing this, the pseudo-police didn't dare to care, but directly reported to Fan Jianwen.

After getting the report of the pseudo-director, Fan Jianwen panicked at that time. He had already expected that he would be ruthless by some people after he became the pseudo county magistrate for the Japanese and did those things, but what he didn't expect was that the people who troubled him would come so quickly! And it's at this critical juncture!

There was no large Japanese army in the current county town to protect him, and at this time, the Japanese in the county town were only left with staff officer Nishio and about 20 Japanese soldiers around him.

The only thing he can count on now is the security regiment of more than 300 people whose guns have not yet been distributed!

……

After occupying the telegraph office, the first thing Yue Siliang did was to ask Cheng Fei to hurry up and send a telegram to the regiment headquarters.

Cheng Fei was a telegraph operator trained by the division headquarters, and he returned to the division headquarters with a Japanese radio station that had been captured during the Battle of Pingxingguan.

"Commander, what are you posting?"

Cheng Fei sat in front of the transmitter and asked after briefly familiarizing himself with the machine.

"The moon is the rule, the middle is all Ding, and the mold is ten thousand beams."

"Huh?"

Cheng Fei was stunned at the time, he knew every word of what Yue Siliang said, but he couldn't understand it even when he was in it, and even he thought he had heard it wrong.

"Ahh

Yue Siliang didn't explain to Cheng Fei, and directly repeated it again and asked Cheng Fei to send it out. Cheng Fei couldn't understand what he said, but Lei Zi on the side understood what he meant. He couldn't believe Chaoyue Siliang asked.

"Regiment Commander, didn't you let the regiment go to relieve the siege of the White Battalion Commander?!"

Yue Siliang smiled, his eyes shining.

"Reinforcements are what we are good at, how can I possibly allow myself to jump into the circle? What I want to do is to surround Wei and save Zhao! ”
