Wuchang City is a district of present-day Wuhan City. People have the impression of it as if the revolutionaries fired the first shot against feudal society here: the Wuchang Uprising.

On October 10, 1911, a mutiny aimed at overthrowing Qing rule took place in Wuchang, which was also the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution. After the failure of the Huanghuagang Uprising, the revolutionaries, mainly the Literary Society and the Communist Advancement Association, decided to turn their sights to the Yangtze River valley and prepare to launch a new armed uprising in the Lianghu region centered on Wuhan. Through the efforts of the revolutionaries, the epoch-making Wuchang Uprising was finally successfully launched on October 10, 1911.

In October 1926, the Northern Expeditionary Army conquered Wuchang. In December, the urban area of Wuchang County was changed to Wuchang City. In April 1927, Wuchang City and Hankou City were merged to form Wuhan Special City, which was directly under the Nationalist Government. In 1937, the Chinese government re-established the Wuchang urban area as Wuchang City, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Hubei Province, and on the eve of the defense of Nanjing, Lao Chiang decided to set up the temporary escort capital here.

The Changhe Hotel where the accident occurred is near Hubu Lane, which is a densely populated area during the day, and the food street that makes tourists forget to return in later generations is now quite large-scale.

At this moment, at the door of the Changhe Hotel, the atmosphere was heavy, in addition to the bloody obscurity that provoked a few dogs that didn't know where they came from, there was also a faint wail of pain.

The waiter at the counter on the first floor of the hotel hid under the cabinet and shivered, not daring to look up, let alone look outside. On the couch in the reception area sat a man in a polite oblique suit and a straight suit. The entire first floor of the hotel, including the entrance of the hotel, was full of people dressed in black, and even the guns were about the same, except for a few people who were armed with MP18-type German submachine guns, and the rest of the people were each armed with a barge pistol.

The man in the suit took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table, put it on his nose and sniffed it twice, and then put it in his mouth. He took two hard puffs, and a puff of smoke came out of his mouth and nostrils.

This man in a suit is about the age of his early thirties, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a round nose, especially with thick lips that resemble people in Guangxi.

The cigarette in his hand made him smoke most of it after only a few puffs, and he still yawned a few times in a row, and it was obvious that staying up late was also a rare thing for him.

There was the sound of a man's hurried footsteps coming down the stairs behind the right side of the counter, and when he heard this sound, the man in the suit, who was already depressed, got up again and looked over.

A man who was slightly different from the other black-clothed people in the hall, wearing open clothes and a white shirt inside the black clothes, ran down the stairs, stepped into the reception area in a few steps, stood in front of the coffee table, and said softly: "Director, those people have very hard mouths, and they refuse to confess that they are secretly sent over there. ”

Hearing this, the man in the suit stood up, threw the remaining half of the cigarette to the ground, rubbed it a few times with his foot, and said coldly: "Since you can't find a reason, then slaughter them all, and then throw them at the Yangtze River with the three corpses at the door." This kind of indifferent tone, which doesn't take human life seriously at all, makes people can't help but palpitate when they hear it.

"Director, you may not be able to kill!" The man in the black clothes and wearing a white shirt said, "There are two people who are scolding while being tortured, and listening to them, saying that Sun Yumin will not let us go." ”

"Which Sun Yumin?" The man in the suit asked rhetorically, the name was a little familiar, but he didn't remember where he had heard it.

"That's the ......"

"The division commander who was sent by the chairman of the committee to pick up Wuhan from Zhengzhou for rescue, Sun Yumin, known as the 'God of War' and the devil's nemesis?"

The man in the suit suddenly remembered where he had heard this name and blurted it out. He clearly remembered that one day Dai Li was furious in the office and scolded Chen Bui for not being a thing and Sun Yumin being a bastard. Later, he learned from Shen Chai's mouth that in the suburban prison, Dai Li was humiliated by these two people in a 'play'. As the most appreciated by Dai Li, he naturally wants to regain this face for his boss, and since then, he has paid special attention to Sun Yumin. Unexpectedly, after that incident, Sun Yumin soon went to Henan and went to Gui Yongqing's new 46th Division. Compared with Chen Bui, the Gui clan is one of Dai Li's biggest enemies, and there is almost no way for his subordinates to reach out, and the matter of revenge can only be stopped like this. Later, when I heard this name, I heard it on the radio and in the newspapers, first he was promoted to the commander of the 20th Division, and then he continued to receive good news, and for a period of time, these mouthpieces of the national government were advocating him, and he was originally a small division commander, but he was simply promoted as a "god of war" and "devil nemesis". After that, he knew that it was impossible for him to make a moment of anger for Dai Li. Don't look at himself as one of the four King Kongs under Dai Li, but in the eyes of the person who has become a major general, he is not even qualified to speak, so his thoughts have been dispelled, but he didn't expect to suddenly hear such a name, it was actually in such a late night, such a broken hotel.

The man in the suit is named Zhao Lijun, who is the most respected person under Dai Li, and also Dai's most iron-hearted lackey, this military reorganization, he was privately revealed by Dai Li, has been nominated as the director of the operations department, he heard the grapevine, the beginning of August The military command will be officially established, and now is the time to take credit, he is worried that the position of the chief of operations who is red by many people will suddenly change his mind, and he will go around crazy at this time, he wants to use practical actions to show others that he is not just because he is just Dai Li's cronies, to be able to sit in this position.

Zhao Lijun didn't expect that he was greedy for work for a while, and kicked an iron plate firmly.

In the direction of Hubu Lane, Sun Yumin kept recalling in his mind, and he couldn't quite remember whether the current military command had been established or whether there were still signs hanging in the second place.

Historically, at the Provisional National Congress of the Kuomintang held on March 29, 1938, Lao Chiang decided to reorganize the original Survey and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and expand it into three open spy organizations: 1. On the basis of the first department, the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang was established under the Secretariat of the Central Party Department. Zhu Jiahua, secretary general of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, concurrently served as the director of the bureau, and Xu En served as the deputy director, and Xu was responsible for the daily practical work. This is what the later world will talk about as the Central Unification or the Central Unification Bureau. 2. The second division was expanded into the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission, which was subordinate to the General Office of the Military Commission, with Chen Lifu as the first director and Dai Li as the deputy director. This bureau is also Sun Yumin's tough military command tonight.

Although the military command at this moment has not yet been established, in fact, as early as a few months ago, the people under Dai Li's subordinates had already called him the director, and Zhao Lijun, Shen Chai and several other of his henchmen were also called the director.

There was no car, Sun Yumin took Deng Dongping, Xiao Yuying, Zhou Shanjun and Xiao Shanzi and hurriedly rushed to Hubu Lane to Changhe Hotel, although his chest still hurt, but when it came to the life and death of his cronies, Sun Yumin did not pity himself at all, and his steps were not smaller than Deng Dongping, who was in a hurry.

It was the height of summer, the sky was full of stars, and the moonlight was bright. Even if there were no street lights, a few people could clearly see the signboard of the Changhe Hotel not far ahead, and the five or six black-clothed people standing in a pile in front of the gate.

There were three people lying on the street in front of the hotel, lying motionless on the ground, Sun Yumin's heart beat wildly, he recognized one of them, whether it was clothing or figure, he looked like a person.

Deng Dongping also seemed to see that person, if it was correct, the person lying motionless on the ground was the brother of the original 87th Division who escaped from Nanjing City with him.

"Brother, there is a rich brother Zhao lying on the ground." Xiao Yuying's words sounded coldly, completely shattering Deng Dongping's luck psychology, how much he hoped that the one who had become a cold corpse was not a good brother who floated across the Yangtze River with him.

In a fit of rage, Deng Dongping took out his pistol from the gun case: the M1911. This kind of pistol with a capacity of seven rounds, every time Deng Dongping loaded a shot, he reloaded a bullet into the magazine, and the eight bullets in this gun were very difficult to solve the five or six black-clothed people at the door, so he looked at the scar-faced man beside him.

Sun Yumin didn't say anything, and one action showed what he meant. A small pistol that was exactly the same as the little girl was taken into his hand, Deng Dongping had seen the little girl show off her little gun, he thought that this girl gave Sun Yumin her self-defense gun, so he turned his head and wanted to praise her, but he didn't expect that this girl was also holding a small gun in her hand, obviously this was her own. In the afterglow, Deng Dongping saw that Xiao Shanzi was holding a mirror box in his hand, which was obviously the same as the shell gun held by the people not far away. Zhou Shanjun was empty-handed, Deng Dongping thought he didn't have a gun, and was about to ask, this guy smiled at himself, and strode forward with Sun Yumin.

When a few of them came out of the shadows of a house, Deng Dongping realized that in just a few short steps, that is, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Shanjun had disappeared. He had heard of the deeds of this soldier king, but he had not seen Zhou Shanjun do it with his own eyes, and he had no idea that a person could be swift and flexible to his extent, and now after being shown by this kid, he was immediately stunned.

I can already hear the screams coming from the upper floor of the Changhe Hotel, the voice is very familiar, it is the half-devil Lin Yuanping.

Although the little girl resents him for taking advantage of herself in the hospital and eating the little nurse's tofu, at this life-and-death moment, she still remembers the safety of this guy.

"Who?"

A few black-clothed people in front of the hotel gate spotted them coming from afar, but they didn't pay attention to them when they saw that they were wearing military uniforms and were too far away. Now that they found out that the target of these four people was the hotel, they became vigilant.

"Blind your dogs, don't you know our Master Sun?" The little girl's crisp cry spread far away in the night, not only the black-clothed people outside the door heard it very clearly, but even Zhao Lijun in the room heard it clearly, and he bounced up from the sofa in shock.

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! Ma Long was still saying a moment ago that the person who was arrested and tortured by them upstairs might be Sun Yumin's person, and the corpse placed outside the door also has a high probability that it is a person under this guy known as the "God of War". Thinking of this, Zhao Lijun's head exploded, and he asked in a calm voice: "Didn't you say that there are a large number of Communist Party rallies in Changhe Hotel?" How did he suddenly become his man? Now what? Three questions in a row were thrown at the captain of the operation who was quite trustworthy to him.

"Director, this is the information I got, who knew it would turn out like this. You said that it is true, since you are brothers of the national army, why do you wear civilian clothes. We don't have to fight back when we arrest someone, won't it be okay to explain it clearly! Now that it's like this, I ...... "Ma Long is still looking for other people's reasons, and he didn't think that he was too domineering, relying on his identity as a spy to run amok in the three towns of Wuhan."

How would they know that when these backbone elites of the 20th Division saw the sudden arrival of the military commander's spies, they all thought that Sun Yumin was going to leave and was stabbed out, which annoyed Lao Jiang, so a large number of people came to the hotel where they lived to arrest people, who would have thought that this was just a coincidence. After killing and injuring a group of spies, they were finally all captured, and Zhao Youqian and the three of them were shot several times and died here. Fortunately, one of his own people was in the latrine, evaded the search, took advantage of the chaos to sneak out, and hurriedly reported Deng Dongping nearby.

"You dog spies, you dare to point a gun at Senior Commander Sun, and you Director Dai may not dare to do so." The little girl's voice sounded again, it was already very close, and Zhao Lijun couldn't allow Zhao Lijun to think of countermeasures anymore, he said to Ma Long: "Send a clever person out of the back door and go back to report to Director Dai." Let's go and drag the one surnamed Sun first. ”

The early military command was indeed a disciplined organization, and as soon as Zhao Lijun's words fell, Ma Long nodded to a man in black in the corner, and the man disappeared into the darkness like a ghost.

Zhao Lijun straightened the hat on his head and walked towards the door. As soon as he moved, he heard the muffled sound of a heavy object hitting the ground from upstairs, followed by two screams, which everyone downstairs could distinguish, and these two screams did not belong to the person who was tortured before, and it was most likely that the person who was tortured was attacked.

Zhao Lijun is an old man, how could he not know this change, he yelled at Ma Long beside him: "What are you doing with me?" Take someone up there to see it. ”

Although this subordinate himself is very important, Sun Yumin really wants to make trouble, so he has no choice but to let him be a shield, and hand him over when necessary, maybe he can dissipate the anger of the surname Sun.

When Zhao Lijun walked out of the hotel gate, Sun Yumin was already very close with a female officer and two guards. He could recognize at a glance that the man with the Venus on his shoulder and a scar on his face was Sun Yumin, who had collected his files and information during the days when he was paying attention to him. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, this face is already very impressive in my own impression. At this time, several brothers who were outside were pointing guns at them, and he hurriedly shouted: "Put the gun down quickly, can't you see that it's General Sun?" ”

Several military commanders obediently put down their guns and ran behind Zhao Lijun in a gloomy manner.

Sun Yumin ignored Zhao Lijun, who was smiling and greeting, and walked directly to the three corpses lying on the ground. The one in the middle is really Zhao Youqian, although he has been dead for a long time, his eyes are bulging round, and he looks reluctant to leave. Deng Dongping hugged the already cold corpse and cried loudly, and the miserable cry made the little girl's eyes begin to twinkle. Xiao Shanzi carefully examined the wounds on the three corpses, and said hatefully: "Division Commander, Battalion Commander Zhao, each of them was shot more than a dozen times, all of them were shot with German-made shell guns. ”

"Who did it?" Sun Yumin asked in a low voice. The words were full of anger and self-authority, which made Zhao Lijun suddenly have goosebumps, he knew that this was caused by fear, and he had not had this situation for many years.
