Chapter 5: Assassination of High Officials
In the evening, they had dinner, and Huang Baolian prepared weapons such as long guns, short guns, and throwing knives and was about to set off. The iron lock www.biquge.info pen had not yet been put away, and I saw that in addition to the long and short spears and throwing knives, he also tied a short knife to his calf, kicked a bag of white powder in his arms, and wrapped a bundle of rope with a burden and carried it on his back. Prepare these before setting off with Huang Baolian.
They took advantage of the darkness to sneak into a three-story attic not far from Wansheng Building, went up to the third floor, found an unobstructed window, set up their guns, and waited for the Japanese officer to appear.
About half an hour later, a small car drove from west to east, followed by a group of Japanese soldiers. Yu Tiesuo estimated that this might be the official he wanted to kill, so he concentrated his energy, aimed at the target position, and waited for the big character in the car to enter the design range.
The car stopped at the gate of Wansheng Building, and a Japanese officer got out of the car, but this officer did not enter the gate directly, but stood at the door and looked west.
Pauline was about to shoot. Iron Lock stopped hurriedly and said, "Wait, you listen." At this moment, there was a neat running sound not far away.
Iron lock smiled and said: "We earned it this time, the one in front must be Asano, and the one in the back must be Kameda, and when Kameda gets out of the car, we will shoot together and kill them at the same time." Pauline was also excited, and said happily, "Great." I'm glad you stopped me just now, otherwise the big fish would have slipped through the net. ”
A moment later, the sedan also stopped at the door of Wansheng Building, and as soon as the car stopped steadily, the officer who was standing there and waiting immediately went up and pulled the car door, and stood respectfully half-bent over. A middle-aged officer got out of the car, and saw that he was of medium stature, slightly fat, although the distance was far away, and he could not see his face clearly, but from the respect of the officer who arrived first, it could be concluded that he was the largest official in the town, Kameda Ichiro.
After saluting each other, they stood at the door and said a few words. Suddenly, a few gunshots rang out, and I saw Asano fall to the ground after being shot, Kameda was shot in the left shoulder, and as soon as he took a step back, he was held up by the soldiers behind him. Suddenly such a change happened, and the devils instantly became a mess.
Yu Tiesuo looked at Huang Baolian with puzzled eyes and said, "Did you shoot the gun?" Baolian also looked at the iron lock with a blank face: "I didn't have it, didn't you shoot it?" ”
"I didn't shoot either, strange, who's robbing our prey?" As soon as Tie Suo finished speaking, he saw Baolian pointing to a corner on the side of Wansheng Building and said, "Look there, someone is fighting with the devil soldiers!" ”
The iron lock looked in the direction pointed by Pauline, and sure enough, he saw several people hiding in the corner and shooting at Kameda's guards, and in the darkness it was vaguely judged from the firepower that there were three of them, all armed with short guns, and they were pressed and beaten by the Japanese soldiers, and they barely had the power to fight back, only occasionally showing their heads and firing two shots.
Yu Tiesuo stared at the Japanese soldiers and said to Huang Baolian: "Can we save them?" Huang Baolian said firmly: "Of course I saved it, do you still need to ask?" ”
Yu Tiesuo said: "Then what are you doing in a daze? Hit! As they spoke, the two opened fire on the Japanese soldiers who were attacking the Assassins.
The devil soldiers downstairs were suddenly attacked from behind, and the well-trained devil soldiers immediately shouted: "There are people upstairs, shoot!" ”
As soon as the words fell, several bullets were fired at Tie Lock and Bao Lian at the same time. The two of them were condescending, taking advantage of the ground, coupled with their exploration and hard practice a few days ago, their marksmanship had improved a lot, and at this time, I saw them shoot one by one, and the devils downstairs fell to the ground one by one in response to the gunshot.
The pressure on the three assassins from the devil's side was greatly reduced, and taking advantage of this opportunity, one of the three leaders said: "Someone has saved us, hurry up and retreat, we won't be able to leave if it's too late." After speaking, he took the other two people to fight and retreat.
At this time, a devil shouted: "The first team goes upstairs to destroy them, and the second team chases me." After saying that, he chased after the three assassins with the devil soldiers.
Yu Tiesuo said to Baolian: "Daughter-in-law, withdraw!" When they come up, we'll be at the end of our lives. ”
Bao Lian answered the hello, and followed the iron lock downstairs, just down to the second floor, and saw that there were already Japanese soldiers coming up, the iron lock took out a short gun and killed a few, untied the rope from his back and handed it to Bao Lian and said: "Climb the window and go down, quickly!" Baolian hurriedly said: "Then what should you do?" ”
Yu Tiesuo pushed Huang Baolian out and said, "Leave me alone, I have my own way!" ”
Huang Baolian knew that Yu Tiesuo had a lot of ideas, so she didn't think much about it, and lowered the rope from the back window and slid down.
After Huang Baolian went down, Yu Tiesuo put away the gun, took out a pack of white powder prepared before from his arms, and thought: "I didn't expect this thing I prepared to save my life today!" ”
Thinking of this, he rushed down and shouted: "Little devil, grandpa is out of bullets, come up and catch grandpa?" ”
As he spoke, he watched the movement below, and when he saw the Japanese soldiers slowly walking upstairs with their heads up, he snorted the white powder downstairs.
In an instant, the devils downstairs were shrouded in a white mist, and then there were bursts of screams from downstairs. Those who were already on the stairs rolled down the stairs, overwhelming the ground below. The Japanese soldiers behind did not know what was happening, but their comrades did not roll down the stairs with their eyes covered.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yu Tiesuo slid down the rope of the rear window.
At this time, Huang Baolian had not left, he was still waiting for Yu Tie Lock under the window.
When she saw that the iron lock was safe, she said, "Listen, there is a gunshot over there, and she said that she pointed her hand in the direction where the gunshots were heard." Yu Tiesuo said: "It must be that those three people haven't escaped yet, let's go over and have a look." ”
So the two ran together towards the distant gunshots. On the way, Huang Baolian asked what was going on with the screams upstairs just now, and Yu Tiesuo said with a smile: "I sprinkled lime powder down from the third floor, and the devils stared at me with wide eyes at that time, haha, I just hit the trick." ”
Baolian listened to it and said sarcastically: "Are you embarrassed to use such a trivial method? ”
Yu Tiesuo was not angry but said proudly: "This is called a scheme, for killing devils, no matter what means, as long as it is useful, it is a good means." ”
Soon the two of them came to the vicinity of the gunshot, and they hid in the dark to take a closer look, and it was really the three people just now. They had no bullets in their guns, and one of them was wounded, and the devils were about to surround them and capture them alive. At this moment, Yu Tiesuo and Huang Baolian appeared in time, quietly waited for a sneak attack from behind, killed a dozen devils who chased after them, and saved them.
The rescued trio followed Yu Tiesuo to their residence. While they chatted, Huang Baolian bandaged the wounds of the wounded.
During the chat, Yu Tiesuo learned that one of the three people was called Yuan Changbao, one was called Yuan Shunze, and the other was called Zhang Wubao with an injured arm. Yuan Changbao and Yuan Shun are brothers, both are the sons of Yuan Desheng, the shopkeeper of the Desheng Teahouse, and Zhang Wubao is the buddy of the teahouse.
On the same day, Yuan Desheng and the three guys were arrested by the devils and locked in the firewood room, and tortured them, the boss and the two guys couldn't stand it and were beaten to death, but fortunately Zhang Wu kept a heart and pretended to be dead to deceive them.
That night, they asked four Japanese soldiers to pretend to be bosses and men, tied them to the pillars and waited for Old Man Yang to come to their rescue, which led to the tragedy of Old Man Yang being plotted.
Later, the devil soldier left, and he didn't care about the corpses of the boss and his guys. Zhang Wubao had a chance to escape.
After he escaped, he went directly to the provincial capital and found the brothers Yuan Changbao and Yuan Shunze, who were going to school.
When the brothers learned of their father's murder, they were filled with grief and indignation. The so-called revenge for killing his father is not shared, not to mention that the hateful Japanese did it. So they decided to give up their studies and immediately return to their hometown, intending to take revenge.
After learning that Asano was going to give Kameda a pick-up, the three bought a few guns through the black market, intending to assassinate Kameda and them, but they were besieged by Japanese soldiers, but fortunately they were rescued by Iron Lock and Pauline.
After Baolian bandaged Zhang Wubao's wounds, she went to cook, and Yu Tiesuo asked the three of them what their plans were, and they said that they wanted to join the Eighth Route Army. When they were in school before, they heard that the 771st Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was stationed near Changzhi, but the specific location was unknown.
When they learned that Yu Tiesuo was the one who turned the devils of the entire Xihuo upside down, they all said that they would follow Tiesuo and kill the devils together. Suddenly getting these young people who are strong on the outside and enthusiastic on the inside join, Tiesuo was overjoyed, and he couldn't control his mouth when he was happy, and he talked endlessly.
Pauline cooked and everyone ate together, and it was almost dawn at this time. After Tiesuo arranged for Yuan Changbao to rest with them, he still didn't feel the slightest sleepiness when he was excited. So he took the rope and went out of the yard and ran towards the center of the town.
He took advantage of the night to run all the way, came to a spacious and magnificent courtyard, lay down by the wall and listened, there was no movement inside, then quickly jumped into the courtyard, took out the rope and threw it, the cloth hook gently hung on the railing, he climbed the rope, went to the balcony on the second floor, and then jumped out of the window into the house.
At this time, the master was still asleep, Yu Tiesuo lightly rummaged through the drawers and cabinets one by one, found some jewelry and silver coins, picked them up with a bag, and checked them with his hands, feeling that the harvest was quite rich, so he left satisfied.
When he got home, it was just dawn, and everyone else was still asleep, so he hid his things and put on the kang and his clothes and went to sleep, and did not get up until noon when Pauline called him to eat.
After the five of them finished lunch, Baolian took Yuan Changbao and the three of them out of the city to practice guns in the field. Although the Japanese troops at the gate of the city were cautious about the crowd coming and going, it was relatively easy to enter and exit because they all went out empty-handed.
Out of the city, Baolian took the three of them to her grandfather's cemetery, dug out the guns and ammunition hidden in the hole, and patiently explained to them her gun training experience and morality.
After Tie Suo waited for Baolian and Yuan Changbao to go out, he whistled, lazily turned out the property stolen before dawn, opened it and took a closer look, there were a few gold bars and dozens of oceans inside, as well as some gold and silver jewelry. He took two gold bars, grabbed a handful of oceans, carried them in his arms, and went out.
He went out and went straight to the Imperial Association Army Garrison. He thinks that Sanyushan, who he just accosted yesterday, will be of great use to his future actions, so he must consolidate this relationship. The generous gift he promised to give to Chang Yushan yesterday is now about to be fulfilled.
When he came to the garrison, he greeted the puppet soldier standing guard at the door, and stuffed a piece of ocean for him, and the soldier immediately went in happily to report, and it didn't take long for him to come out and take him to Chang Yushan's office. On the way to the office, he kept an eye on the layout and deployment of the garrison, and memorized all the useful information in his heart.
As soon as he saw Chang Yushan, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Chang, the little brother has come to see you." ”
Chang Yushan was not as happy and excited as him, and he didn't expect that the little brother who had accosted him yesterday would come back to visit him today, and he didn't even want to talk to him. But when he thought of the generous promise he made to him yesterday, he could be a little polite. Slightly tired, he said, "Brother Yang is here?" Have a seat! ”
After Yu Tiesuo sat down, he said, "Seeing that the eldest brother is not improving well today, is there something annoying happening?" ”
Chang Yushan said: "What's not just a trouble? The sky is falling! ”
"Huh? Is it so serious? What's the big deal? Say it and see if the little brother can help? Yu Tiesuo pretended to be surprised and said.
Chang Yushan said with a bitter face: "You don't know yet, right? Asano was killed last night, Kameda was seriously injured, and he is still lying in the hospital! I tossed all night last night, and I didn't sleep all night! This morning, Huang Mazi, the maintenance president, came to report the case again, saying that his family had recruited thieves last night. Lost a lot of valuable things. As he spoke, he leaned back on the sofa, held his forehead with his hand and sighed: "Alas, what's going on lately, how unlucky things have been put on me, I have a headache to death, fortunately Kameda Ichiro is not dead, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life, big brother!" ”
After hearing this, Tie Suo put on a gesture of sympathy and pity, sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so difficult to sit in, it's really not easy!" I wanted to invite my eldest brother to drink, but it seems that my eldest brother may not be in that mood anymore."
Chang Yushan said regretfully: "I may not have been drinking for a while, the town has been too chaotic recently, we have to strengthen the vigilance and patrol, no, Zhang Shun and Wang Jingui both took their men to patrol." If something happens again, the Japanese will definitely not let me go. ”
Tie Suo thought for a while and said, "Big brother is really hard work! I originally wanted to get a job with my eldest brother, but when I heard him say this, I didn't dare to do it. The eldest brother doesn't know anything, the younger brother is naturally timid, and he has always been far away from fighting and killing. But big brother, don't think about it when I say this, we are still brothers, and I will honor you in the future. As he spoke, he took out a gold bar from his bosom and put it on the table and said, "Big brother, yesterday when my brother recognized a few big brothers, I didn't bring any money, and I said at the time that I would definitely come to the door today, and now that my little brother is here, I didn't break my promise, right?" ”
Chang Yushan looked at the gold bars on the table, and his eyes were about to fall out. He never thought that this little brother he met by accident yesterday would be so generous, he was simply his God of Wealth! After being stunned for a while, he didn't look like he was greedy for money, so he hurriedly said politely: "Brother Yang is too polite, how embarrassed is my brother?" ”
Tie Suo was arrogant, and said with a flat face: "Big brother, if you are polite to me, I won't recognize you as a big brother!" In the future, in the realm of Xihuo, I still have to rely on your big brother to take care of everything! It's not easy to do a small business these days, and if you don't have a backer, you will be bullied sooner or later. ”
As he spoke, he took out another gold bar and said, "Big brother, originally this one was given to Brother Zhang and Brother Wang today, but since these two big brothers are not here today, you can keep it for them!" When they come back, you will divide this among them, and the excess will be given to your brethren. Brothers have worked so hard, you should also treat everyone well. ”
Chang Yushan was once again suppressed by Yu Tiesuo's generosity, and his eyes were almost out of sight. smiled and said, "Brother has a heart, okay, I'll put it away for the two of them, and wait for them to come back and hand it over to them." ”
Iron Lock showed a look of satisfaction and said, "That's right! Brothers shouldn't be polite in the first place! After speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and continued: "By the way, big brother, since Kameda Ichiro is seriously ill and hospitalized, he must not be able to yell at you for a while?" So you can relax and unwind during this time, right? ”
Chang Yushan said helplessly: "There are captains at all levels under him, and anyone who is an elder brother can't afford to mess with him." You won't understand the pain of being an older brother! Recently, there have been a series of accidents in the town, and Kameda was assassinated as soon as he arrived, and at a meeting held at noon today, it was said that a large group of troops would be stationed in this county from the provincial capital tomorrow, mainly to deal with the anti-Japanese elements who were active in the town, and at the same time to strengthen public order and security. When the time comes, it's not that people will move their mouths, and my brother and I will run thin legs. ”
"Yes, big brother, you will have more eyes in the future! Be lazy when you should be lazy, lie down when you should lie down, and be on the back legs when you should be on the hind legs, in a word, it is important to save your life! I don't want you to have any longs and shorts. Yu Tiesuo said comfortingly.
Chang Yushan smiled and said, "Thank you brother for reminding me, if you don't say that your brother will do this, who will be afraid of longevity?" ”
The two chatted a few more words, and Yu Tiesuo said goodbye and left
After leaving the garrison, he walked around the town, inquiring about some messy news, such as who was rich, whose family was close to the Japanese, who was a landlord bully, and so on. It was almost evening when he came home.
When she got home and just happened to catch up with the dinner, Baolian said angrily, "Where did you go to play again?" They didn't go with us to practice guns. ”
Tie Suo put on a leader's posture and said, "Have you seen that leader train with the soldiers all day?" Leaders should have things to do, such as understanding the enemy's situation, studying maps, and formulating battle plans. ”
Baolian also made some sense when she heard what he said, and her attitude softened a little and said, "Then what did you gain this afternoon?" ”
"Of course there is, today I got a very important piece of information, tomorrow there will be a brigade of devils from the provincial capital to Changzhi to station. We can hit their ambush halfway. Yu Tiesuo said confidently
Baolian couldn't believe it when she heard this, and asked suspiciously: "The opportunity is good, but just a few of us are going to fight the ambush of a large group of devils, do you really dare to think about it?" ”
The Yuan Changbao brothers and Zhang Wubao also followed and said: "That's it, wouldn't it be in vain for a few of us to die if we really went?"
Yu Tiesuo didn't answer and asked, "What is the last plan of the thirty-six plans?" ”
Yuan Shun hurriedly said: "Go to the position." ”
"Yes, there are only five of us, but we are in the dark, and they are in the light, so why don't we dare to fight?" If they chase again, let's continue to run, I don't believe that a brigade of hundreds of them can chase us all day long. Let's just spend it with them, kill a few count, even if it's annoying, we have to annoy them! ”
Huang Baolian heard him say this, and first retorted: "Aren't you a scoundrel? How can there be such a war? ”
Yu Tiesuo said proudly: "I'm a scoundrel, what we have is time to spend with them, consume them." But there is one point, there must be no casualties among the five of us, first, I am reluctant, and second, our combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. ”
Yuan Changbao also felt that this way of playing was a bit of a scoundrel, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense, there was no need to talk to them about principles to deal with devils, as long as he could kill a few more, he could use any trick. Thinking about this, he said, "I support Brother Yu's idea. He's right, annoying them to death. ”
Zhang Wubao felt a little furious when he heard the words casualties, he wanted to say that the gun does not have long eyes, what if there are casualties, but he didn't dare to ask, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Brother Yu, the bullet is not long-eyed, what if there are casualties?" ”
Yu Tiesuo said confidently: "Follow me to fight, how can there be casualties?" If there are casualties, it must be because you didn't do what I said. ”
Yuan Shun asked curiously, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
Yu Tiesuo stood up, paced back and forth, and said as he walked: "First of all, you must be hidden, don't leak yourself, the five of us are separated and hidden, but the distance is not too far, two or three steps are fine." When the devil passed by, each of the five of us chose a target for ourselves, which cannot be repeated, pay attention, we must choose the officer, as long as the clothes are different from ordinary soldiers, we can choose it. After selecting the target, we all listened to my command and shot together, and as long as the marksmanship was accurate, we could kill five Japanese officers with one shot. Do not hesitate to evacuate immediately after the shooting, change the position, at least a few dozen meters away from the position where the shooting was fired. If they chase us, run quickly, get rid of them, and when they turn back, we will quietly follow and fight, so that we will not be injured, but we can also kill devils, you say, is this a good way?"
Everyone felt that what he said made sense and was a good idea. Then they estimated the time together, because they didn't have a map and had to familiarize themselves with the terrain and find an ambush site in advance, so they decided to set off the next day. After talking about all the details, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
