Chapter 152: Nakajima's Death, Qingqi's Worries
The occupants of this building may have been frightened into hiding by the gunfire outside, and even if they came out to try to stop them, they could not stop these heavily armed patrols.
Shen Chen rushed straight to the third floor, identified the direction, and broke into a room on the left. The room looked like a dining room, and there was no one.
Pushing open the window, Shen Chen looked sideways and stretched out his rifle.
The view is not too good, a little oblique, but it is basically able to look down on the entire scene of the shootout. Moreover, with a distance of less than 100 meters, for Shen Chen, the angle is not too big.
The shootout on the road continues, and several of the 76 agents have fallen, and they are in a disadvantageous position under the fire from both sides.
"Phew!" Shen Chen aimed and fired.
The gun stepped back, and the bullet flew out faster than sound. Before the opponent could hear the gunshot, a bloody hole appeared in the body of one of the agents, and the traitor shook and fell backwards.
Pulling the bolt, retracting the shell, and loading the bullet, Shen Chen's movements were very fast, and he didn't even look at the results of his shooting, and aimed at the next enemy.
At this distance, he took aim, fired a shot, and that was enough, he had this confidence.
At the sound of gunshots, another spy was shot and fell, blocking his car door but unable to avoid Shen Chen's condescending oblique sniping.
The Enfield rifle uses a swivel pull-back bolt with a rear lock, which allows for a high reload rate. At the same time, its fixed box-type double-row capacity ten-round magazine loading, which improves the sustained firepower. Therefore, it is also known as one of the fastest rifles with the fastest rate of fire in actual combat.
In Shen Chen's hands, this rifle gave full play to its advantages. Fast reloading, fast aiming, and fast shooting, Shen Chen had already shot five shots in just a few seconds, all of which hit.
Lu Huazhong glanced at Shen Chen, and his eyes widened in surprise. Shen Chen often goes to the shooting range to practice guns, and he knows some of his marksmanship. But it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.
The attack came swiftly and without warning, and by the time the agents realized that five men had already fallen, they opened fire on the window of the bungalow.
The glass crackled and shattered, and Shen Chen dodged sideways.
In fact, the spies shot here with pistols, and the threat to Shen Chen was not great. He was also wearing body armor unless he was hit in the head.
But although Shen Chen is not afraid of death, he will not look for death by himself. He hid behind the wall, quickly poking his head out and then retracting, revealing only half of his face very briefly.
If he can be hit by a pistol dozens of meters away, then Shen Chen won't say anything, it's because he is too old and has fallen home.
Seeing the target, Shen Chen took a deep breath and suddenly flashed out, revealing only the gun and the small half of his body. When the gun arrived, he fired a bullet quickly, and then dodged and hidden.
Bullets fired back indiscriminately, hitting walls and windows, bursting with dust and dust. But it was a little weaker than the counterattack just now.
The agents are trapped here, without reinforcements. And the patrols are constantly coming, more and more guns, more and more tightly surrounded, almost making the spies fall into despair.
"Damn*, I'm going to leave it here." Zhang Guozhen hid behind the car door, gritting his teeth as he shot back.
After Wu Shibao's death, around the position of the captain of the guard, Ding and Li started a fight. Ding Mochun is the number one, and Li Shijun has the favoritism of the Japanese, and they both want to take the opportunity to expand or stabilize their own power.
For this reason, Li Shijun wanted Zhang Guozhen to make a great contribution, and then through the help of the Japanese, Ding Mocun was helpless.
Therefore, Li Shijun concealed the information he had obtained and sent Zhang Guozhen and more than a dozen other spies to raid a meeting of the military commanders in the French Concession.
The operation was quite successful, and the assembly personnel of the military commander suffered great losses, and even two were captured by Zhang Guozhen.
But Zhang Guozhen was a rough billet, and he got carried away because of his excellent work, and the conflict with the patrol in the French Concession was caused by his excessive arrogance.
And together with the conflict, Zhang Guozhen made a mistake in judgment. He thought that there was a way to catch and pursue, and he would get rid of it when he entered the public concession.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they crossed the line, they ran into a team of patrolling Chinese and Western patrols. Leading the team was Luo Deng, Shen Chen's friend, a retired veteran.
Although Roden loves to play and drink, he is still responsible for his work. He commanded the patrol to intercept the car and, with the agents firing fire, resolutely counterattacked.
The first car in which the agents were traveling was damaged and the wounded were rescued into the last two vehicles. Zhang Guozhen ordered to retreat again, but the legal arrest had already pursued. Suddenly, it fell into the middle of a north-south attack.
Originally, the shootout between the two sides seemed to be fierce, but the casualties were not large. But when Shen Chen joined the battle group, the situation was immediately different.
There were six casualties in a row, plus those who were killed and wounded by patrols, and only five of the spies were still resisting.
Shen Chenfu lowered his body and walked out of the room, ready to go to another room to deal another heavy blow to the spies.
While moving in the corridor, Shen Chen suddenly heard the sound of machine guns outside with a "da-......" outside, and couldn't help frowning.
When he broke into another room and looked out the window, he noticed that the situation had changed again.
A truck drove from the direction of the French Concession, and in the rain, two light machine guns were mounted on the front of the truck, and they fired intimidating at the patrol of the French Concession from behind.
The patrols in the French Concession panicked, hiding and fleeing in all directions, and a gap appeared in the encirclement.
It's no wonder that what kind of equipment and what kind of quality is the patrol, and if you can respond to this sudden and violent attack, it would be hell.
After the truck broke through the encirclement of the French Concession patrol, it did not stop and continued to drive at an unfast speed.
The car was shooting while driving, apparently to intimidate and suppress patrols in the public concession and to provide favorable conditions for the spies to escape.
Zhang Guozhen and other spies were overjoyed, and took advantage of the panic and vacillation in the public concession patrol and the weakening of firepower, they got into the cars one after another, started up, and prepared to follow the truck's path and rush out together.
Shen Chen saw clearly that the guy who was operating the machine gun on the truck was actually Nakajima. In order to hide his eyes, this guy wears the same Chinese costume as the spies.
Apparently, Nakajima and another Heavy were patronizing the intimidating patrol and did not notice that it was the killer inside the mansion.
Shen Chen sneered and stretched out the muzzle of the gun and pulled the trigger.
Nakajima gritted his teeth, his body trembling with the machine-gun fire. He's going to get these agents out, at least alive. It doesn't matter much if a few corpses were left for patrolling, so it can be denied and not recognized.
And there is a great hope that his goal will be achieved, whether it is the patrol in the French Concession or the patrol in the Public Concession, under the intimidation of the authorities, they are all in chaos.
Bang! A bullet flew with a murderous aura and hit Nakajima's face from the side.
The fiery bullet burst his left eyeball, then plunged into his skull without looking back, rolling freely inside it, messing up his brain.
Shen Chen reloaded the bullet, and when the other machine gunner looked at him in amazement, he fired another shot that was sure to kill.
Since the car was still moving, when firing again, there was a slight deviation in angle.
The bullet struck the junction of the heavy's neck and shoulder, causing a tumbling that broke the arteries and immediately decapitated him from the gushing blood.
Covering his wounds in vain, blood gushing uncontrollably from between his fingers and palms, the guy slowly collapsed into the carriage with his mouth wide open.
The machine guns stopped firing, and the panicked patrols stabilized a little. But the loophole has appeared, and the truckers have seized the short-lived opportunity.
Although it was not known what was happening to the people in the carriage, as soon as the machine gun stopped, the driver realized that the situation was not good.
He slammed on the accelerator, and the truck sped up sharply, roaring through the patrol line and smashing into a car that was in the way, breaking through the road.
Zhang Guozhen and the spies who got into the car followed closely behind, braving bullets fired from both sides of the road, paying for more casualties, but also breaking out of the encirclement.
Shen Chen fired a shot that hit the side window of a car, and blood splattered, presumably hitting an enemy.
But he no longer had an angle to shoot, so he had to put away his gun and run out, rushing straight out of the western-style building, chasing in the direction where the spies had fled.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The car was driving on the road, the water was splashing, and the eyes of Qingqi Qingyin hidden behind the lenses flashed with a sinister light.
He saw that at the corner of the road, the patrol was closely checking the pedestrians, and realized that something was unexpected.
In front of Gate 76, Qingqi Qingyin saw a scene that he had never seen before.
Soldiers of the Italian garrison with loaded guns are confronting the patrol of the Ministry of Industry. Both sides braved the rain, but did not back down, a murderous scene.
The car stopped next door to No. 76, and through the underpass, Qingqi Qingyin walked inside.
Inside No. 76, Sunny sees a chaotic scene. The wounded were bleeding all over the ground, and the dying moans and the cries of the women were mixed together, like a battlefield and a hell.
"Mr. Qingqi, you came so fast!" Li Shijun greeted him in a panic, there was a big accident, and he didn't know how to explain in the face of the backstage boss.
Qingqi nodded and said, "I rushed here as soon as I received the call, and I also invited Dr. Dungong from Fumin Hospital." β
"Doctor, I'm sorry. Please hurry up and ......"
After Li Shijun finished arranging, Qingqi had a gloomy face and asked, "Li Sang, what the hell is going on?" β
Li Shijun hesitated for a long time, and then said: "We had a conflict with the patrol, and the two sides fought fiercely, and we suffered a lot of losses......
At first, there was some incoherence, but soon, Li Shijun regained some calm and made a report truthfully.
"We received information that the cadres of the Blue Coat Society were holding a meeting in a place in the French Concession as usual, and they sent personnel to carry out the attack. The operation was a great success, and the enemy was defeated. But the action was discovered by the patrol of the French Concession......"
After Li Shijun finished his report, his face was heavy, waiting for the sunny air to be furious. Nakajima's official position is not high, but he is a cronie sent by Qingqi, and he is considered an overseer in No. 76.
Qingqi narrowed her eyes slightly, although she was calm on the surface, she was shocked in her heart.
Nakajima died, but he died in the concession, in the conflict with the patrol, which in any case lacked a reason to seek justice from the Ministry of Industry.
Even, this matter has to be blocked and covered up, and the Ministry of Industry and Bureau cannot know about it. Driving trucks, operating machine guns, and rushing around the concession, the Ministry of Industry and Bureau had an excuse to protest.
And in the action itself, it is beyond reproach. Isn't it the task assigned to No. 76 by the Japanese to obtain intelligence and fight against anti-Japanese elements?
But the process of operation is not perfect, and it is a bit of bad luck to be surrounded by patrols.
As for Nakajima going to the rescue, Haruki thought it was a little impulsive and reckless. He could have sent agent No. 76 to go, and it didn't matter if he lived or died.
Even if the Ministry of Industry and Bureau catch the live and get a confession, the Japanese side can completely deny it. But if a Japanese is caught red-handed, it will be more difficult to deny it.
Hariki was bothered by the jumble of sounds and glanced around again.
The seriously wounded kept moaning in pain, and family members stood next to them, crying to express worry and unease; A woman who was shot in the abdomen and seemed to be next to her husband who was about to die wept silently and shouted: "It is too cruel for such a wounded person not to be sent to the hospital." β
Li Shijun also heard it, his expression was a little terrifying, he approached the woman with a gloomy face, and shouted loudly: "Don't cry!" Did you hear that? β
The noise and moaning around disappeared all at once, as if he was frightened by Li Shijun's aggressive, or extremely angry appearance.
Qingqi glanced at Li Shijun, turned around and walked away, and stretched out his hand to beckon to Shibuya not far away.
Haruhi and Shibuya stepped aside and asked, "This happened because of the recklessness of the commander. This responsibility must be borne by Li Shijun, what do you think? β
Shibuya hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel that this operation is not a complete failure, and although Li Shijun is responsible, he is still working hard for us. On the other hand, Ding Mo Estate, as soon as he showed up, he ran away. β
Qingqi took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, put them back on, and said slowly, "It makes sense for you to say that." If the commander is punished for a failure, who will act aggressively in the future? It's just Nakajimaβ"
Shaking his head slightly, he sighed for a while and said, "He is very heroic, sacrificing his life for the empire and being loyal to His Majesty. Well, do you think that when No. 76 enters the concession in the future, it will be necessary for the plainclothes gendarmes to follow? β
Shibuya understood what Haruhi meant, and Nakajima's death touched him a lot. Plainclothes gendarmes follow the action, firstly to supervise and secondly to protect.
After all, the patrol in the concession area did not dare to offend the Japanese military police, and once it was stopped, the Japanese military police could play a deterrent role.
However, when the conflict breaks out, the Japanese military police may not have time to declare their identities, and the danger in the rain of bullets is very great.
Just like today, not to mention that Nakajima is wearing Chinese clothes, even if he shows his identity, I am afraid that he will not stop the two sides in the shootout.
Besides, it was not allowed by the agreement to enter the concession with a gun without knowing that they would patrol the house. Even if there are casualties among the Japanese military police, the patrol room has an excuse to prevaricate.
"Your Excellency, do you think it is feasible to reassign the Chinese Constitution?" Shibuya thought for a moment and made his own suggestion.
It may seem strange that there are Chinese gendarmerie members in the Japanese gendarmerie, but it is true.
Qingqi groaned slightly, nodded, and said, "Very good, your suggestion is very good." β
