Chapter 174: The Bloody Year-End and New Year
The ballroom is actually a good place for assassination, with a lot of people, noisy sound, and dim lighting. As long as you do it secretively, it's easy to get started.
And once it erupts, people run out in a crowd, you shout at me, it's a mess, and it becomes less difficult to get out.
Shen Chen and Chu Jiao ran to the road, and after a short pause, Zhao Youcai had already driven over and stopped beside him.
The two had just gotten into the car, and the door had not yet closed, when they heard several more gunshots in the ballroom. The chaos of the crowd was even worse, and the entrance of the ballroom was even more chaotic.
The car started, and while the road was not closed under martial law, Shen Chen and the others drove directly away from the place of right and wrong, and went straight to the public concession.
They didn't know that even if they didn't come tonight, an assassination operation would be launched, but not as big as it is now.
It turned out that Wang Tianmu's subordinate Ma Hetu was a member of the former military command of the North China Region, and he did not intend to defect to the enemy, but after the rebellion of the military commander, he had promised to do it anyway.
The military commander thought that Wang Tianmu, Chen Mingchu and others were hopeless, so they instructed Ma Hetu to punish the traitors and then return to the team anyway.
After Shen Chen and Chu Jiao started to act, Lin Zhijiang, Chen Mingchu and others were shot one after another, and there was chaos in the dance hall. Ma Hetu was lucky not to be injured by mistake, so he thought that the opportunity had come.
At this time, Wang Tianmu and Feng Guozhen were hiding behind the sofa, and the bodyguards they brought were also killed and injured, and the rest were hiding in Tibet, shouting and screaming, looking for the murderer indiscriminately.
Ma Hetu was originally a bodyguard who was a little afraid of He Tianfeng, and it is said that that guy's marksmanship is very accurate. But He Tianfeng and the two bodyguards were killed by Shen Chen in the bathroom and were not present, which made Ma Hetu's confidence and courage increase sharply.
"Bah, bah, ......" Ma Hetu quietly moved to a suitable position and opened fire on Wang Tianmu and Feng Guozhen.
Wang Tianmu and Feng Guozhen fell to the ground in response, Ma Hetu didn't dare to stop, turned around and escaped from Paramount in the noisy noise, jumped into the original car and quickly escaped.
The Christmas Eve murder thief in history has appeared in a changed form. The results were very different, and the agents of No. 76 suffered heavy losses.
He Tianfeng, Lin Zhijiang, Feng Guozhen, and three bodyguards were killed, Chen Mingchu and Wang Tianmu were seriously injured, and two other bodyguards were injured.
After being rushed to the hospital, Chen Mingchu and a bodyguard died again. The number of deaths has reached eight, not to mention leaders like He Tianfeng and Lin Zhijiang.
Ma Hetu's action immediately overshadowed this assassination with the color of a military commander's deliberate action. This protected Shen Chen and the others, and even Cao Yixin was not sure that the information she revealed to Shen Chen had already played a role.
Of course, even if Shen Chen acts, he will not tell Cao Yixin, everything can only be based on her guesses.
The other person who was protected was Qian Xinmin, and the suspicion of the informant was naturally Ma Hetu, who had absconded, and he was not suspected.
It was originally a lively Christmas, but No. 76 was spent in a bleak and cold weather.
The corpses of He Tianfeng, Chen Mingchu, Lin Zhijiang and others were dressed up, washed away from blood stains, cleaned up, and sent to the World Funeral Home.
On the day of the big convergence, He Tianfeng's subordinate bandit commanders 'Ding Xisan and Li Xieyu took He Tianfeng's disciples and grandchildren to wear filial piety clothes, and each of them also inserted a fast and slow machine in his arms, like a robber's den.
This murderous scene, as well as the large number of corpses, should have never been seen in Shanghai since there was a funeral parlor.
After this incident, the traitor spies of the No. 76 military command suffered the heaviest losses. And although Wang Tianmu did not die, he almost became a waste.
What makes it even more difficult for Wang Tianmu to rise again is Ma Hetu's identity, as his adjutant, it is really hard to say whether he is suspected of this murder case. Although he was shot twice, he didn't die, maybe it was a bitter ploy!
As a result, Wang Tianmu is still being treated in the hospital, but there are already more guards around him.
Li Shijun handed over the case to Ma Xiaotian to deal with, and was supported by the Japanese, and the implication was not difficult to understand, he wanted to take the opportunity to weaken Ding Motun's power.
Wang Tianmu and He Tianfeng are the chief and deputy commanders of the "Peace Salvation Army" of the Wang Puppet Purge Committee, and they are the pillars of Ding Motun.
Right now, Wang Tianmu is caught in a suspicious case that he can't extricate himself from, and he takes the opportunity to pull out Wang Tianmu, which makes Ding Motun lose his last pillar, which is Li Shijun and Ye Jiqing's wishful thinking.
The internal battle on No. 76 was very delicate, but after the assassination on Christmas Eve, the generals of the Ding family, Wang Tianmu, He Tianfeng, and Lin Zhijiang, were either injured or killed, and the balance was obviously in favor of Li Shijun.
In order to regain the upper hand, curry favor with the Japanese, and in order to retaliate, Ding Motun ordered Zhou Xi, Xu Shouxin, and Yu Yanzhi, the special agents of the Shanghai District of the Military Command, to be pulled out of the prison and shot.
On the third day when Zhou Xi and others were shot, Qian Renlong, the deputy director of the fourth division of No. 76, was shot dead by the dance hall Taipan at the door of the Cirox dance hall.
Qian Renlong was in charge of liaison with the French Concession in No. 76, so as to spy on the activities of anti-Japanese activists in the French Concession, so that No. 76 could conspire to deal with it. Therefore, several cases of spy murder in the French Concession were all related to money.
On this night, Qian Renlong and a spy went to the dance hall to have fun, and the dance was only after walking out of the dance hall. Unexpectedly, someone came behind them with guns.
It turned out that Sheng Changfu, the head of this dance hall, and his wife Chen Qing were both military commanders. Sheng took advantage of his public position as a dancer to keep an eye out for a few traitor dancers who often came, and secretly prepared to bring guns into the dance hall in advance and hide them in a hidden place.
That night, he saw that Qian Renlong and his companions were already a little drunk, and their steps were staggering, and he felt that the opportunity had come, so he took out his pistol and followed him. When Qian Renlong walked to the steps outside the door of the dance hall, Sheng raised his gun and shot Qian Renlong.
When the gunshots rang out, the drivers of the cars who were waiting for their respective owners in front of the steps focused their eyes on the gunshots and saw that it was the Taipan Sheng Changfu of the dance hall who fired the shots.
These drivers all know him. Therefore, the drivers shouted in unison: "Xiao Sheng! Xiao Sheng!"
Since he had been discovered after the shooting, Sheng Changfu was afraid that he would not be able to get out, so he turned around and fled for his life. Later, the couple fled overnight to the outskirts of Shanghai, and then to Tunxi in southern Anhui behind enemy lines, and then returned to Chongqing.
The sound of gunfire and killing was repeated, and it was in this bloody storm that time entered 1940.
…………
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression should be a great clean-up of the Chinese nation, on the one hand, it is necessary to drive away the enemy, and on the other hand, it is necessary to sweep away its own garbage.
Our traditional habit of wanting to be a high-ranking official on the one hand, and being willing to be a slave on the other hand, and stealing peace and security, are all hereditary diseases of the nation.
These diseases, when the country is peaceful, will make history silent, colorless, ordinary, and slowly rub forward like an old cow.
When the country is in danger, these diseases will fester, like the third stage of syphilis.
The traitors are not human beings, but the scabies and diseases of the nation, which should be cut off with a knife. Don't think they're just little bugs who don't know what to do, and ignore them.
They are maggots, and maggots turn into flies and spread evil diseases. They are just as ferocious and damned as the Japs.
But if according to the definition in the dictionary, there are too many traitors, which makes Shen Chen feel incredible.
And he can only pick the key points, and select those desperate and vicious traitors to attack, Lin Zhijiang and others are one of them.
Kill without leaving a name, and go with your clothes when it's over. This kind of mentality and behavior, in the bloody Shanghai, has played a good role in protecting Shen Chen.
On the one hand, there are some artificial and partly spontaneous organizations and institutions among the military commanders, the central commanders, the blood flag gates, and even the small citizens of Shanghai; On one side are the Japanese and traitor spies, and the fight between the two camps does not include Shen Chen.
Of course, this is only on the surface. Although Shen Chen is against the Japanese and traitor spies, he has a justifiable reason - to fight crime and maintain law and order.
To put it mildly, Shen Chen is working hard for the Ministry of Industry Bureau representing Britain and the United States, in order to get benefits.
Although the Japanese in Shanghai, and even in China, had the power to overwhelm the British and Americans. But looking at the world, the strength of Britain and the United States is still the consensus of the people.
Therefore, such thoughts and behaviors are no problem for Shen Chen, and even most people will not think that the Japanese dare to risk war to be too provocative to Britain and the United States.
The repeated failures of Agent No. 76 in the Public Concession, and the heroic performance of Shen Chen and his subordinates, also gave the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau some confidence not to make too many concessions to the Japanese.
On the other hand, the French Concession has the best and most exclusive residential area in Shanghai, Xiafei Road, a commercial street that can be called the source of fashion in Shanghai, and is also the base camp of gang organizations.
However, there were frequent bloody crimes, and both the enemy and the enemy paid the price of blood and lives in the French Concession.
In fact, the public concession is relatively peaceful, not because of Shen Chen alone, but because of the situation.
At that time, most of the anti-Japanese forces were based in the French Concession, and the competition with the Japanese puppet spies was naturally fierce. Although there were also footholds in the public concession, there were relatively few of them, and they were not the focus of the anti-Japanese forces.
After repeated blows, the spy leader of No. 76 suffered heavy casualties and had to issue a strict order not to go to the entertainment venues in the concession at will.
Obviously, it will be difficult to kill people in the French Concession again.
But for Shen Chen, if he really tried his best, there were still very few places that could stop him.
……………
Just after New Year's Day, there is not much festivity for Chinese.
Because, the Spring Festival is the most important festival. The New Year of foreign devils, only those foreigners are rare.
Shen Chen was not interested in any festival, but with a family, he had to make some preparations in advance. Because it was the day of the reunion of relatives, they were all looking forward to revisiting their family affection.
For this reason, Shen Chen gave Yujuan a lot of money, asked her to buy things, buy chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients, and promised that she would definitely go back to reunite in Chinese New Year's Eve.
Despite this little thing, Shen Chen's work is still active and his vigilance is still maintained.
On this day, Shen Chen received a call from Chu Jiao in the patrol room, asking him to go to the gate of the garage to send two Japanese. One of the gloomy-looking guys is likely to be a ninja.
Shen Chen felt that Chu Jiao was guessing, but the car repair shop and the patrol room were only separated by a wall, and it was also a gesture for him to go out to drive away the Japanese ghosts.
When he arrived at the garage gate with two patrolmen, there was a lot of noise. Not far away, the voice became louder.
"You can't go in, this is Manager Chu's order." The doorman stopped the two men, and the workers stopped them.
"I just want to say a few words to Miss Chu and give a gift." Dazong Cangming was quite restrained, and did not immediately start a conflict.
"No, Manager Chu said, if you want to let you in, you will expel us. Let's go," the doorman said with a calm face, not impressed by the Japanese.
"Damn the Japanese, get out," someone among the onlookers cursed.
Dazong Cangming's face changed, his eyes became sharp, and he glanced at these people, but he couldn't find the guy who was scolding.
Moreover, the guards and the workers, in spite of the outnumbered numbers, were not afraid, and all stared at him with hatred and hatred.
Hmph, Dazong Cangming snorted with his nose and said, "Hide your head and show your tail, don't dare to bear it, this is the nature of your Zhina people."
Boom, the workers shouted. The doorman was found by Zhao Youcai, who had a gang background and could do a few martial arts tricks, which was even more arrogant at this time.
"Little Japan, don't be too arrogant." A doorman walked out, pointed at Dazong Cangming's nose and scolded: "If you know each other, get out quickly, otherwise you will be unwelcome." ”
Dazong Cangming stared at the fingers stretched out to the tip of his nose, and pursed the corners of his mouth, his light expression was obvious. He slowly raised his head, crossed his arms in front of his chest, looked at the sturdy doorman very casually, and said lightly: "I hope you have the ability to let me get out of the way, instead of just playing tricks." ”
Speaking of which, in front of so many people, it was impossible for both sides to retreat, and when the sturdy doorman was also strong-blooded, he was so excited by this Japanese that his face turned red, and he punched out.
Shen Chen watched from the side, pondering while looking.
The doorman punched out, and the onlookers all opened their eyes wide, clenched fists, and their pent-up emotions were desperately eager to vent as the Japanese face was covered in blood.
Dazong Cangming stepped back slightly, tilted his head, and dodged the punch that came from him.
At the same time, he reached out with his right hand, grabbed the doorman's wrist, turned sharply, shifted his weight to his left foot, and slammed his hip bone into his side.
The doorman flew up, the expression on his face changing from anger to shock...... Then it fell down again, and it didn't even throw out.
Shen Chen grabbed the doorman's belt and stopped him from flying in the air, and at the same time pushed Dazong Cangming on the back, unloading his strength.
Dazong Cangming let go of his hand and turned to staring at this guy who had been killed halfway. Shen Chen's patrol clothes, as well as his police rank, as well as his frustration in the club, made him quickly recognized.
"This is not a place for fights." Shen Chen pulled the doorman aside and said coldly to Dazong Cangming, "Please leave immediately." Otherwise, come with me to the patrol room to make it clear. ”
"I'm going in to find someone, and I don't want to get into a fight." Dazong Cangming clasped his hands and said cautiously.
"But someone doesn't want to see you, and has already called the police." Shen Chen didn't give an inch, "Is it forcibly breaking in, that's picking quarrels and provoking trouble?" "To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
