According to Shen Chen's observation and judgment, this Jiang Wen is a guy who is extremely afraid of death. First beat him to a daze, then put him on a vest, and threatened him with verbal stimulation.

Under this series of mental blows, he had no time to judge what the vest was, and he might only remember the delivery of the letter in his heart, so there was a high probability that he would run all the way to No. 76.

…………

The building in the middle of No. 76, known as the High House, is the main building of No. 76.

Walking up the stone steps is facing the hall and stairs, and the east head is the reception room. Behind it is a social room.

"Boom!" The explosion came suddenly, and Ding Motun, who was working like a frightened rabbit, swooped into the bathroom and locked the door with a click.

After a while, the chaotic footsteps and shouting came closer and closer, and several people came to the door, and began to call Ding Motun, and kept knocking on the door.

After a long time, Ding Motun realized that there was no danger, so he walked out of the bathroom and opened the door.

"Director Ding, it's not good." Zhang Beisheng, the new captain of the guard brigade, looked anxious, and without waiting for Ding Motun to ask, he said: "Jiang Wen hurriedly ran in just now, still holding a letter in his hand, saying that it was a letter from the 'Blood Flag Gate', and it had to be handed over to the director. ”

"And then?" Ding Motun frowned and asked.

"It was getting late, and the brothers at the door thought he was abnormal, so they stopped him to report it first." Zhang Beisheng continued: "But that Jiang Wen roared anxiously, and he argued with his brothers. Then, he suddenly exploded, along with several brothers around him......"

"He exploded?" Ding Motun's eyes widened, "Did you pull off a grenade or an explosives bag?" ”

"Not at all!" Zhang Beisheng stomped his feet, "Several brothers are there, if he wants to make a move, he has already restrained him, it was really he who suddenly exploded." ”

"Take me to see it." Ding Motun turned and walked out, he wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on.

Because the road outside the gate was cross-border and no guards could be dispatched, behind the gate of No. 76, there was often a row of minions with bows and knives unsheathed, and loaded guns to serve as guards.

At this time, this place was a mess, flesh and blood were flying, although the explosives in the explosive vest made by Shen Chen were only more than three catties, but they were mixed with a lot of steel balls and iron filings, and they exploded, and the lethality was amazing.

At that time, the guards who were surrounding Jiang Wen were basically not spared, and they were beaten into a sieve by the dense steel ball iron filings, and even many of the people behind were hit, and they were screaming.

Several Japanese military police stationed at No. 76 were carefully inspecting the scene under the leadership of Warrant Officer Shibuya.

"Ding San." Seeing Ding Motun and others rushing over, Shibuya shook his head and said, "Jiang Wen's is a traitor, his conscience is greatly broken, and he works with a bomb on his back. ”

"Carrying a bomb on your back?" Ding Motun looked down at the bloody scene, poor Jiang Wen was already in pieces, and the only thing that was well preserved was his head.

"Director Ding." A wounded guard covered his bloodstained face and said, "Jiang Wen, this bastard, he didn't carry a bomb, otherwise the brothers would have held him down a long time ago." ”

"What's going on?" Ding Motun frowned and asked, "How could it suddenly explode without carrying a bomb?" ”

"Yes, it's the vest he's wearing." The wounded guard said, "Thick, with a lock, the brothers just think it's strange and are checking it." It was that toy that suddenly exploded and killed the brothers. ”

Ding Motun squatted down and picked up a rag with blood sticking to it, it was a very strong, canvas-like thing, how could it be used to make clothes with this cloth, he frowned tightly.

"Get an explosion expert and survey the scene." Ding Motun stood up and ordered: "Build a thick wall here, and then the people will search their bodies first, and then let them in." No one is allowed to say anything about this. Finally, he shouted almost with a roar.

Ding Motun was originally the director of the Third Division of the Survey and Statistics Bureau headed by Chen Lifu, but later the Survey and Statistics Bureau was divided into two to form two systems: the military unification and the central unification.

Dai Li's status rose and he became the head of the military command; Xu Enzeng continued to run Zhongtong; Ding Motun was set aside, depressed, and was recruited by his old subordinate Li Shijun and thrown into the arms of the Japanese.

It can be said that Ding Motun's defection to the enemy was completely based on the defeat of the personnel struggle and his unfulfilled will, and his resentment turned into hatred and turned to the enemy, which was purely a kind of revenge in the form of a resentful woman, and he ignored his family and country, and left his national concept behind.

The terrible thing is that such a wave of defection to the enemy is not Ding alone, but a large number of people; It is not the special period of the Republic of China, but it has always been staged on a large scale in the late Ming Dynasty and other previous dynasties.

Shen Chen was still doing his own thing, and the Hongkou "Little Tokyo" movie theater was attacked by a time bomb he made, killing and injuring nearly 20 Japanese people in the bag bomb, so much so that the newspapers exclaimed that the terrorist act had escalated, the bomb replaced the pistol, and the explosion overpowered the gunshot.

In the two bombings in succession, Shen Chen did not claim responsibility in the name of "Blood Flag Gate", but pretended to be a military commander and sent articles to pro-Chongqing newspapers.

Jiang Wen's suicide attack can be said to be basically successful, killing and injuring many guards of No. 76, making No. 76 lose face, and deliberately conceal the matter.

The pro-Chongqing newspaper, with the headline "Sacrificing Life for Righteousness, Severely Dealing with Traitors", disclosed in detail the inside story of this incident and attributed Jiang Wen to an anti-Japanese fighter.

What endures humiliation and burdens, pretends to defect to the enemy, seizes the opportunity, and at the cost of martyrdom, kills and injures many traitors in No. 76, this kind of brave spirit that is not afraid of sacrifice will inspire the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the Chinese people.

As soon as this article came out, all parties were dumbfounded.

At that time, suicide attacks were not the mainstream, and people rarely heard of or saw them. In most cases, this extreme move is taken only when they are chased and cornered, or when they are caught in defeat.

And Shen Chen did it, and the suicide attack became a very iron-blooded, exciting, fashionable, and patriotic activity.

Even some ordinary people living at the bottom of society know that when they are bullied so badly, they let out cruel words: Nong is deflated, and if he forces Allah again, Allah will carry a bomb to bombard Nong's whole family.

Not only was No. 76 frightened, but an internal clearance was carried out, and the entry and exit system became extremely strict.

Who dares to guarantee that there will be another Jiang Wen, and all of a sudden, mutual distrust spreads within No. 76.

The Japanese, on the other hand, are deeply aware of the dangers of this incident.

Just imagine if more Chinese committed similar suicides. Not to mention bombs, even a fruit knife for one person is enough to kill all the Japanese in Shanghai.

As a result, the inventory of several bridges entering Hongkou became very strict, and the Japanese military police patrolled the streets back and forth as if they were facing a great enemy, checking all suspicious people and objects.

"Chickens fly and dogs jump." Shen Chen smiled and threw the newspaper in front of Chu Jiao, "I just let that Jiang Wen get a big bargain and become an anti-Japanese hero." ”

"You're still jealous when they're all dead!" Chu Jiao picked up the newspaper and glanced at it casually, "It's making the Japanese nervous enough to do it all of a sudden." ”

"Can you not be nervous?" Shen Chen said lightly: "No more, such a guy who is not afraid of death out of 10,000 people is enough for the Japanese to have a headache." ”

"Unfortunately, there really aren't so many generous Chinese." Chu Jiao sighed softly, "I'd rather be killed by a nest of people than stand up and fight to the death." ”

Shen Chen shook his head, got up and said, "I can't say that, it's just that we haven't seen much." If you think about it, on the battlefield, there are thousands of martyrs that we don't know about. ”

Chu Jiao saw that Shen Chen was leaving, and hurriedly said: "I can't practice my leg skills well, you can see where there is a problem." ”

Shen Chen looked at Chu Jiao and teased, "What's the matter, you're about to be surpassed by your apprentice?" ”

"Nothing." Chu Jiao's mouth stiffened, and she pulled Shen Chen to the practice venue.

Shen Chen looked at Chu Jiao's practice for a while, and began to point, "Use your toes to exert force at one point." ”

Chu Jiao nodded, hey, kicked the placed bottle to pieces.

"Although there is progress, we still have to work hard and practice more." Shen Chen reluctantly encouraged Chu Jiao, "Remember, it's a point, not a kick, when you can just kick the bottle and break it, and the bottle doesn't fall, it means that the speed is enough, and then there is explosiveness." ”

Chu Jiao pursed her lips, "It's difficult, if only the bottle was fixed, it's just floating there, it's good not to kick it away." ”

Shen Chen shook his head, walked over, and said, "You set the bottle, I'll kick it for you." ”

"Okay!" Chu Jiaoxi diligently placed two bottles.

Shen Chen took a deep breath, moved his body, and suddenly got up, there was a crisp sound, and the mouth of the bottle was kicked and shattered. The foot landed, the body was turned and kicked, and there was another crisp sound.

"Speed, accuracy, power." Shen Chen pointed, "You are deficient in these three aspects, practice hard, and you have to ponder while practicing." ”

Chu Jiao nodded admiringly and said, "You promised to give me special shoes, when will you give them to me?" ”

"Not only shoes, but I also designed several murder weapons for you!" Shen Chen pondered for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "That Shen Lily is really making rapid progress, so that you can also feel pressure?" ”

Chu Jiao thought for a while and said, "It's not that it's pressure, but I think I have to surpass her a lot." Of course, her progress is also great. ”

Shen Chen was thoughtful, but not very clear and sure, and pointed for a while, then turned to leave.

…………

On July 26, 1939, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced that Japan would be given the necessary six months to absolve the 1911 treaty of commerce between the United States and Japan.

When the Chinese heard the news, they shouted in unison.

The Japanese, especially the militarists in Tokyo, saw this as a fundamental shift in US policy toward East Asia and began to plan new measures against the United States.

On September 27, 1940, Germany, Italy, and Japan signed a military alliance treaty, and the spearhead of their attacks was directed at the United States, and the United States' Far East policy once again underwent a major change.

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt reaffirmed his refusal to recognize Wang's puppet regime, officially announced that he would lend $100 million to China and lift the arms embargo binding on the belligerents.

At the same time, the U.S. authorities in the public concession began to harden themselves and stubbornly blocked Japan's attempts to undermine the autonomy of the concession.

As the puppet police relied on the Japanese army to expand their influence to the suburbs, the conflict between them and the police department of the Ministry of Industry and the police department in the cross-border construction area of Shanghai and West became correspondingly fierce, and shooting incidents on both sides continued to occur.

It was in this situation that the meeting of the taxpayers of the public concession was held in the racecourse, which seemed to indicate that something unusual and big would happen.

Shen Chen walked into the venue with a few of his subordinates, and a Hua Yu saluted him, he nodded, pointed, and dispatched his subordinates.

Half of the people in the grandstand were already seated, according to nationality, the British and Americans sat together, and the sparse Nordics and Chinese sat among them.

Shen Chen saw Commissioner of Police Bao Ling and walked over following his beckoning.

After the salute was over, Bao Ling looked at Shen Chen, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I have always had a bad premonition that something might happen today. ”

Shen Chen said: "There are indeed lapses in the security of the venue, and if taxpayers can conduct a search before entering the venue, there will be no hidden dangers." ”

Bao Ling shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The Japanese are already deeply dissatisfied and try not to take measures to intensify their emotions. ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment and said, "The rules on the use of firearms are very vague, can the chief explain it more clearly?" ”

Bao Ling nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If it is just an ordinary riot, such as fighting, throwing chairs, etc., which will not directly threaten life, do not use firearms; If it's an assassination and a high-risk weapon is used, I can authorize you to use a firearm. And—"

Bao Ling turned his head and pointed, and said, "You stand there, and you can judge the specific situation more accurately." ”

Shen Chen took a look, it was relatively high, not far in front of him was the table where the directors of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau were sitting, and further ahead, there was the audience seat.

"I will do everything in my power to keep the directors safe." Shen Chen understood what Bao Ling meant, and nodded vigorously.

At this time, the Japanese began to enter. The guys lined up as if they were inspecting, dressed in almost identical costumes.

The Japanese sat on the right side of the Anglo-Americans, awkwardly separated by the Germans and Italians.

Shen Chen asked Bao Ling for instructions, then walked to his position and opened the holster so that he could quickly pull it out.

He was from a position where he could see the backs of the directors and the faces of the people in the front rows of the audience. After a visual inspection, Shen Chen moved to the right again, almost facing the Japanese seat.

Over time, the taxpayer meeting began and proceeded progressively according to the agenda.

According to the tax increase plan of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, the Japanese also put forward a bill suggesting that the Ministry of Industry Bureau make up for the deficit through loans.

Because this is a Japanese proposal, the Japanese will vote in favor and the British and Americans will vote against.

And the British and American taxpayers were in the majority, and even if the Germans and Italians supported the Japanese, they could not achieve a majority, and the failure was obvious.

Lin Xiongji, the chairman of the Tax Day Association, stepped up to the podium and read the speech in English, not very fluent, but in a tone very similar to that of a German mustache.

Talking, or rather verbose, Lin Xiongji had been speaking for more than an hour, making the atmosphere in the venue dull and impatient.

Shen Chen kept scanning the people in the audience, but found no signs of threat.

Of course, he didn't listen to what Lin Xiongji was saying at all, and the bill had nothing to do with him at all.
