CHAPTER XVII

Renji Hospital on Shandong Road in the Public Concession is the earliest and largest hospital in Shanghai, from its establishment it has implemented all-Western management, doctors, nurses, buildings, wards, and even floors are Western-style, after the completion of the new six-story building in 1932, the hospital beds increased to 250, the largest in Shanghai.

Because the Shanghai Concession was still a wasteland when it was established in 1844, the location of the hospital is not far from Huangpu Beach, and the old place name here is Maijiaquan between Wuma Road and Sima Road, so the hospital is also called Maijiaquan Hospital. It is only one street away from the general patrol room of the Ministry of Industry Bureau at the intersection of Henan Road and Henan Road in the east, and the hospital is not adjacent to the north of the four roads, and on one side of the four roads is a shop like the Chinese and Western Pharmacy, and behind the shop is Renji Hospital.

When he heard that he was going to Renji Hospital to arrest people, especially in the hands of an Indian patrolman, Lin Zhijiang, the chief of staff of the concession commando, was a little troubled, but Pan Da said that this was an order from Qingqi Qingyin Dazuo, and the Japanese garrison outside the boundary would also support it, so he was a little more courageous. In addition, there is another thing that is the hidden pain of the concession commando: Li Shiqun, the commander-in-chief of the commando, had previously made every effort to develop members in the Chinese patrol, so that everyone in the Chinese patrol came to worship the old man to receive allowances, and once the Ministry of Industry Bureau found that there were patrols and worshippers of the old man, they were fired, and then recruited a group of new people, but after the newcomers went to the old man on the 76th to receive the allowance, and then they were found to be expelled, and so on, for a time more and more people took off their uniforms and relied on the 76th allowance to help more and more.

At first, these people could also be arranged to be wangqing (bodyguards) in Huxi Casino, but in the end, there were more and more people, several casinos could not be stuffed, and there were no other errand arrangements, so the latecomers had to rely on allowances to survive. This is just a day, some brains began to find their own way to make money, so Huxi blew a pig (stripping men's clothes), sheep (stripping women's clothes), stripping chickens (stripping children's clothes) of the evil wind, this is daytime, at night these people are in groups of gangs to block the road and rob, once actually grabbed the head of the deputy commander of the commando Ma Xiaotian.

These people will definitely not be able to do this for a long time, not to mention that they will be chaotic for a long time, even if they are morally unjustifiable. So at the end of last year, Li Shiqun had to beg the Japanese to legalize the commando and give it a structure, but Major General Ying Zuo Zhenzhao did not immediately agree. As soon as New Year's Day was over and the central government was established, Li Shiqun personally took people to Qingdao, but he did not reply to the letter. Now that Wang Jingwei is dead, it is unknown whether the living Liang Hongzhi will buy No. 76 or not. Since this is a major event in which even the Japanese garrison has to be dispatched to cooperate, then this matter is done, and the commando team said that there can really be a place where a sign can be hung up for the official office.

Ding Mochun said that the Japanese will have rewards, and this is the reward that Pan Da, Ma Xiaotian, and Lin Zhijiang want. As soon as the three of them said this, the commandos who couldn't make much money by stripping pigs and sheep immediately geared up and were in high spirits. After a long time, they dreamed of having a system to get two errands, and now it's okay, the opportunity has come, as long as they rush into Renji Hospital and catch someone, the day of sitting in Austin, drinking foreign coffee, and making red dancing girls is coming.

With the acquiescence of the Chinese patrol who had already paid off, the commandos who had hidden their guns poured into the public concession through the barbed wire fence in groups, and several half-new, half-used cars slowly drove to the intersection of Sima Road and Shandong Road.

While the assault teams were entering the concession one after another, the headquarters of the 13th Army of the Central China Dispatch Army on the Disway Road, Haruki Keiyin Daisa, was reporting the matter to the commander Lieutenant General Fujita Shin and the chief of staff, Major General Sakurai Province. It's okay to rely on the secret service headquarters to catch people, but after all, the commandos are not the army, and in the event of a firefight, Renji Hospital will definitely be surrounded by patrol groups in the concession, and if the army does not move, these people will definitely be disarmed and arrested.

"Qingqi-kun, there is no way to determine that person is the officer of the submarine of China just by relying on the uncertain confession of a sailor, and the transfer of the garrison into the concession will definitely cause diplomatic disputes." The commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, did not support Haruki Keiyin's plan, which in his opinion was risky. "Even if that person is arrested, how can we prove that he is a submarine officer in China?"

"Your Excellency, those three men boarded from the submarine in China, not from the port of Ningbo, and the British captain was obviously lying, the Shandong did not dock at the port of Ningbo." In a short period of time, Qingqi Qingyin did not find anyone in the know, but this was enough, he could conclude ninety-nine percent that the three of them were officers on the submarine of Shina, and the injured person was the captain. "If we can capture the captain of the submarine in China, it will greatly boost the morale of the people and defeat the myth of the China Navy."

"Qingqi-kun, this is something that the Navy needs to consider." Seeing that Qingqi Qingyin spoke for the navy, even the chief of staff Sakurai Shozo, who initially supported him, couldn't stand it anymore. "The Navy won't be happy that we're meddling in this."

"Your Excellency, that's why we're interfering!" Qingqi Qingyin naturally knew the confrontation between the navy and the army, "If we catch the captain of the submarine in China, whether he is Li Hansheng or not, the navy will thank us, and when we negotiate the distribution of military spending and steel in the future, will it be difficult for the navy not to reciprocate?" ”

After convincing the chief of staff, Qingqi Qingyin continued to convince the commander. "The reason why the sailor's confession is uncertain is because of the lack of time. Those three men must not have appeared on the Shantung out of thin air, and as long as we catch the naval officers of China, we will be in a completely advantageous position, and the concession authorities will certainly yield to us, because they know that these people are the naval officers of China. Your Excellency, if you still have doubts, then you can send people to the concession, if we mobilize after the exchange of fire in the concession and the British troops do not leave the camp, it means that they have a weak heart, and they know that the people they protect will put themselves in a passive position once their identities are revealed. ”

"The British army will not be dispatched?" Fujita Shin thought about it and began to say words from Qingqi Keiyin.

"Yes, Your Excellency. I think the British government will be weak-minded, and they will not dare to mobilize troops to stop us. Qingqi Qingyin said.

"Are you saying that if the British army does not move, the garrison can enter the concession and demand that they hand over the officers of the Chinese army?" Sakurai Shozo glanced at Fujita Shin and quietly helped Qingqi Qingyin speak.

"Yes. It is unlikely that the British authorities would have sent troops to make a tough gesture against us until it was unclear whether or not the naval officers in China had been apprehended, knowing that they were protecting a few criminals who had sunk the cruise ship in violation of public international law. Qingqi Qingyin hurriedly said. The Imperial Army only needs to assemble close to the concession, and there is no need to enter the concession, the British will show weakness to us. ”

"Your Excellency, I don't think it will cause a diplomatic incident as long as you don't enter the concession." After Qingqi Qingyin finished speaking, Sakurai Seisan immediately struck while the iron was hot, and he has now become a lobbyist for Qingqi Qingyin.

"Okay." Fujita Jin said helplessly. Although he was a commander, in the Japanese Army, commanders often had to listen to the chief of staff. And if those three people were really naval officers in China, he would definitely be reprimanded by the base camp afterwards if he refused. "Inform the commander of the 22nd Division to gather his troops immediately and let him make a gesture of entering the public concession."

"Hey!" Sakurai Province Sanwa Qingyin immediately bowed, and Qingqi Qingyin was overjoyed.

*

"Sir, I found that we were surrounded." On the second floor of Renji Hospital, Smith, who had not waited for the No. 76 searcher, to wait for the news. At this time, the operation had just ended, and Dr. Wilson, who was in charge of the surgery, said that the operation was very successful and the patient could be discharged from the hospital quickly. It's just that because of anesthesia, the patient has not yet woken up.

"Are those killers in Huxi?" Smith found his M1910, and as he loaded it, he realized that he should call his superiors, the head of MI6 Shanghai, Mr. Stuart Stuart, the visa officer of the Consulate General, and Mr. Bernie, the Commissioner of Police.

"Sir, the phone is out of order, I've already called before." Seeing that the commander was looking for a phone, Yin Yu hurriedly informed him that the phone was not working. In addition, he emphasized, "Sir, there are only eight of us, and they are all downstairs. ”

"Plus I'm nine." Smith reluctantly said that he felt that he should find a working phone right away.

"Plus I'm ten." Chen Jae-ho overheard their conversation.

"But there were dozens of people out there." Holcomb stressed again, "Sir, we can't hold here. ”

"Damn, then go find the car." Smith knew he couldn't walk away now, and the only way was to take the patient to the patrol room, which wasn't far, no more than 0.3 miles at most.

"Ahh Holkum ran down with a loud word, but before he could return, the gunshots rang out, first crisp 'pop ......', then dull 'bang', and people in the hospital screamed, and people began to panic, but after a while everyone regained their composure - the shootings and bombings in the concession had not stopped since the previous year.

"Sir, we can't be here." Chen Zai held the gun in his hand, and the ward he was in now was a hall, with beds neatly lined up on both sides. You can see it as soon as you enter such a hall.

"Is he awake?" Smith asked, and as he asked, he found a push bed and carried Li Kongrong up with Chen Zaihe. Just as he was about to push the person out of the room, the female nurse came and said, "Sir, you can't get the patient away without the doctor's permission." ”

"No, the patient is in danger now......" Before Smith finished speaking, there were two "poof, poof...... two shots at the door, and along the muzzle of the gun, a man in a suit who had just broken into the ward fell to the ground, holding a revolver in his hand.

"God!" Smith and the nurse were taken aback, and it took half a bell for the foreign nurse to open her mouth and puff up her strength to 'ah', and then quickly ran away.

"What a good gun." Smith praised, "Why doesn't it have a sound?" ”

"Let's go!" Two more people rushed in, Chen Zaihe didn't delay at all, and put the two people down with two guns in a row. At this time, Smith had already pushed the bed to the other end, and he said as he chased: "There are also two under the hospital bed, you can use them." ”

This time, he and Liu Yongren both brought guns, two for one person, and both had silencers, but unfortunately Liu Yongren is not here now. Smith didn't know where the gun came from, and he could only shoot with one hand while pushing the bed, so he only took one. The M1935 was of course much better than his M1910, and when he picked up the gun, he couldn't help but fire two shots, punching two holes in the wooden floor of the ward, which had been waxed and smooth as a mirror.

"In the back room! In the Compartment! The first three who rushed up were all dead, and the commandos who rushed up behind saw not only the corpses of their companions, but also Smith, who was pushing the hospital bed and testing his gun, and he quickly shouted, accompanied by the shouting, the sound of shell guns was loud for a while. The sound of this kind of gunfire was very scary, and for a moment the patient nurses in the ward shrank into a ball.

"Quick!" Smith was also extremely alarmed, he never thought of fighting alone, with a sixteen-year-old lieutenant with him. At this time, the building of Renji Hospital resembles an 'H', but the upper right side of this 'H' stretches out horizontally, and then turns downward, like a cane. On the upper right of the crutch is the Zhongxi Pharmacy, which is at the junction of Shandong Road and Sima Road, which is a shortcut to the general patrol room.

With the Indian patrol nowhere to be seen and no cars, Smith was ready to head to the chief patrol house from here, which was not far away. Smith, who was in the bottom left corner of 'H', kept an eye on what was ahead. There are two ways to choose from, one is to go directly from the crossbar, rush to the rightmost end of the crutch and break into the Zhongxi Pharmacy and then exit the four roads; The other way is to go straight to the end, go downstairs across the patio and follow the top of the crutches to enter the Chinese and Western Pharmacy.

Smith was thinking about it, not wanting a figure to flash in front of him to shoot Chen Zai and 'bang' is two shots, and when he was about to shoot himself, Chen Zaihe, who was not shot, hit him in the head with a 'poof', and then ran to the hospital bed.

"God! My God! Smith was frightened, and he said as he ran, "Chen, Chen, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine!" Chen Zaihe was wearing body armor, the two shots just now made his ribs hurt, but he couldn't run, just when he was distracted and shot, a large number of gunmen in various costumes appeared downstairs, through the window, led by a blue felt hat to see himself and Smith, the foreigner is too conspicuous.

"We've got to figure it out." Chen Zaihe glanced back at Li Kongrong on the pushing bed, he seemed to be about to wake up, and his eyebrows were twisted.

"This way!" He pulled the pusher and turned in one direction and rushed into a hospital room. Under Smith's incredulous gaze, he moved Li Kongrong to an empty bed with great speed, lifted a sleeping patient onto the bed, and finally put the body armor left by Liu Yongren on Smith. Smith, who reacted, snatched a white coat and put it on, then pushed the bed and rushed through the nursing rack, trash can, and spittoon. He didn't want this patient to be woken up, he didn't understand why he was being pushed by a foreign doctor, let alone take him there, and just as he was about to get up and scream, the sound of gunfire behind him made him fall down in fear.
