Chapter 717: Bloody Rain and Bloody Wind on the Beach (2)

Shanghai Old Street at night, suddenly lost the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the past, the dim street lamps in the sporadic neon quietly reflected all over the ground, a salty and wet night wind hit, the tall sycamore spring buds are strong, the lush canopy is rustling, and the withered leaves are flying down, the original 800-meter street adjacent to the City God Temple and Yu Garden is empty, lonely and deserted, the doors of the famous shops and halls are closed, and the pedestrians are lonely and full of withering. Out of nowhere, there was a faint and lingering and slightly magnetic singing, rendering the whole atmosphere even more lonely and desolate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few days, there have been panicked and frightening vendettas, kidnappings, exterminations, shootings, robberies, and crazy vendettas between the gangs and lakes, so that this most prosperous old street in Shanghai is the same as other places, the vitality is no longer there, the air seems to be diffused everywhere The faint smell of blood, the ubiquitous rickshaws in the streets and alleys are nowhere to be seen, even the begging beggars in ragged clothes singing Fengyang Tune are also rare, only the footsteps of the military police and police squad patrols knock on the tranquility of the street every once in a while, hurrying to come and go, The oppressive atmosphere of fear and irritability continued in the long night, and the people, composed of old and new burghers, peddlers, pawns, third-rate and nine sects, had never been so eager for the dawn to come soon, and even a few bright lights on the edge of the heavy dark clouds that covered the morning sun could bring some comfort to countless people.

The footsteps of a pair of black-clothed police patrols gradually faded away, and more than a dozen black figures suddenly appeared at the mouth of the black Qingming alley, almost quietly pouring out of the alley, drifting towards the tall and simple Rong Xizhai opposite, when approaching the antique carved gate, the heavy black shadows suddenly separated, and four of them went up along the pillar like a gecko, and soon turned over the carved railing on the second floor, crawling under the window lattice.

The three black shadows seemed to stand unscrupulously at the gate of the confinement, only to see the masked sweat in the middle raised his hands, and there were two more shell guns in his originally empty hands, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed obliquely at the sky, and then waved forward steadily, and a burst of cracking sound that smashed the windows and door panels suddenly sounded, followed by the "crackling" gunfire tearing apart the heart-palpitating tranquility, and the shouts and screams in the building followed one after another, and another bloody fight suddenly unfolded in the blink of an eye.

After the fierce gunshots, the screams became less and less, the chaotic footsteps got closer and closer, and on the small building in the backyard, a bullet shattered all the glass windows, and the short Wang Yaqiao half-squatted behind the window, not moving, holding a delicate Browning pistol firmly in his left hand, and pressing his right hand on the shoulder of the angry man next to him, still spilling the fragments of fine glass to his head and body.

Wang Yaqiao leaned over and grabbed the square stool on the side, nodded slightly to the big man next to him, shook his strength, the square stool flew to the low kitchen in front of the left, and knocked the iron door out with a loud bang, and the four masked men who were cautiously approaching all turned their guns and shot continuously at the sound, Wang Yaqiao and the big man suddenly stood up, one short and two long three pistols spewed out strings of tongues of fire, and the four masked men were almost shot in the head between breaths.

"Quick! Drag the corpse in the middle! I'll cover you ......"

Wang Yaqiao didn't know when he had an extra machine gun in his hand, and he fired at the front hall and back door, and the dense bullets hit the doorpost and lintel sawdust, and green smoke rose straight up. The big man beside him had already jumped into a fish, rolled with the momentum, and pounced on the deadly man on the ground, and dragged the body of the man whose head was broken and was still twitching back to the house with a muffled snort, and he couldn't see the face full of flesh and blood when he lifted the veil, so he tore off the masked man's clothes with a "snort", and stripped half naked three times and two times, and a lifelike three-color dragon was wrapped around the corpse and arms, which was clearly visible under the constantly shaking incandescent light.

"The Black Dragon Society—"

The big man screamed, Wang Yaqiao threw away the flower machine gun that had finished shooting, leaned over to take a closer look, rubbed it lightly with his hand, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Withdraw!" ”

"However, Brother Zhou, a few of them don't know whether they are alive or dead! Little brother go take a look. "The big man picked up the shell gun and was about to go out.

"Don't go, it's all dead, go! If you don't leave, it's too late, if you don't leave, you won't even have a person to take revenge, go-"

"Papa-pa-pa-"

"Boom-"

The rain of bullets smashed the doors, windows and blue brick walls into dust, sparks stringed, and the violent explosion of the grenade that followed collapsed the small brick and wood building, and in the fire and smoke, two figures, one tall and one short, flashed at the head of the backyard wall, making the seven or eight big men who came after them scream in anger, and soon gave up the pursuit, and carried the corpses of their companions on the ground like flying away.

Sirens and whistles rang one after another, resounding through the night sky, more than 100 military police and policemen gathered, the shouts of firefighting and noisy footsteps came one after another, the commander of the military police squad and the chief of the police substation led people to rush into the house to no avail, except for the six bloody corpses in the burning backyard and the front yard, all that was left was bullet casings everywhere, a mess.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a secret telegram was transmitted to An Yi, the former enemy headquarters, and An Yi read the telegram and immediately summoned his generals to discuss urgently.

After listening to An Yi's report, the generals were taken aback, and they all speculated who had the ability to find Wang Yaqiao's lair, and then launched a surprise attack, resulting in the lives of the six cadres under Wang Yaqiao's command?

An Yi raised his hand to signal quiet: "According to the information we have, there is no grudge between the Qinghong Gang and Wang Yaqiao, only the Huai Gang who also belongs to Wang Yaqiao's Anhui hometown has a holiday with him, after the Huai Gang sold himself to the Japanese last year, Wang Yaqiao single-handedly entered the Huai Gang General Hall located in Zhoujiazui, the French Concession at that time, and advised the Huai Gang General Hall Master not to betray his conscience, the two had a fierce argument and broke up unhappily, after that, the Qing Gang and the Huai Gang had three large-scale fights for the pavement in the area of Xiafei Road, There were more than 100 dead and wounded on both sides, but no pistols or grenades were used. And the attack on 'Rong Xi Zhai' that occurred at midnight yesterday not only used guns, but also automatic weapons and military grenades, which is not simple! ”

"Confirm it's a military grenade?" Liu Qing frowned and asked.

"That's what the Military Command Bureau's report says."

An Yi suddenly realized something, and looked at Liu Qing with encouraging eyes, and the brothers also realized the problem, and stopped talking and looked at Liu Qing one after another.

Liu Qing analyzed: "At present, only our Xiangxi Arsenal in China has the technology and equipment to produce military grenades, and the only ones equipped with military grenades are our Anjia Army, General Hu Zongnan's First Division, General Huang Jie's Second Division and General Yu Jishi's 88th Division, and it is only a small amount of special forces equipment, which is impossible to flow into the market." Among the foreign armies, at present, only one battalion of British marines stationed in Shanghai is equipped with grenades, and there are also Japanese marines, and the British will not sell this kind of arms to the outside world with the strictness of the British, and the Japanese have been selling grenades for many years, and have never sold military grenades to any domestic forces. The subordinates felt that they should start the investigation from this aspect. ”

An Yi nodded: "Yes, you can call Director Dai and tell him about our inference." ”

"Yes!"

An Yi turned to Zhan: "Call Miss Kaplan and say that I want to visit Colonel Kreberg, assistant military attache of the American Embassy, as soon as possible, and the location will be determined by him." ”

"No! You can't take risks, let's change someone. "Zhan to a mouthful of refusal.

"Yes, Commander, this is the most chaotic and dangerous time in Shanghai City, and you can't go." Fang Pengxiang, the head of the secret service, agreed, and the brothers also stopped An Yi from entering the city.

Ye Cheng signaled quietly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the commander must meet with the Americans, there are many problems that need to be clarified and solved, and others cannot replace the position of the commander." But I agree with you, we can find a way to bring the Americans here, or wherever our troops control, and it's always good to be careful. In addition, Senior General Yoshinori Shirakawa, who replaced Kenkichi Ueda as commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and Shigemitsu Aoi, Consul General in China, and other Japanese military and political dignitaries will hold a meeting tomorrow in Hongkou Park to celebrate the anniversary of the immortality of the Japanese king. It is precisely because of this complicated situation that it is difficult to change into police clothes in order to conceal, and it is not suitable for the commander to enter the city at this time! ”

An Yi stood up: "Thank you brothers for your concern, the stakes are very high, I can't go if I don't go." First of all, if I don't come to my door, don't say anything about rudeness, and let the Americans see the jokes, how can I win the respect of others if I am scared like this on my own soil? Second, this trip is not only to learn about the details of General Wang Geng's capture, but also to exchange views with the representatives of the US ** team in a frank and rational manner. Third, I would like to meet Mr. Du Yuesheng, without his help, it would be difficult for us to quickly and effectively eliminate the Huai Gang, cut off the minions of the Japanese invaders, and deter those unscrupulous traitors and traitors. Although we can invite all these dignitaries to meet one by one, time does not allow us to do this, every minute is precious, I just need to go back as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that An Yi had made up his mind, the brothers could only gather together to discuss security issues.

Soon after the report arrived, Colonel Kreberg was both surprised and delighted, and happily accepted the request to meet at the American Consulate, and assured that from the moment An Yi entered the Public Concession, they would be responsible for all security work.

An Yi happily began to prepare, no one, as long as Shen Fengdao followed, under the worried gaze of the brothers, changed into a suit and a top hat, and Shen Fengdao, who was also dressed in the same cost, got into the middle jeep and drove to the 19th Route Army transit station in the south.

Ye Cheng sent An Yi away, immediately gathered the brothers, and began to arrange the security work intensely.

Half an hour later, Dai Li, who was on a business trip to the Shanghai Municipal Hall, learned that An Yi had entered the city in casual clothes, so he immediately put down everything in his hand, arranged the three action groups under his command and the two special detachments led by Sun Desheng at the various entrances of the public concession, closely monitored the various traffic hubs on the main streets, and personally drove a Renault car with a license plate from the board of directors of the French Concession to guard the intersection of the road that must be passed.
