Chapter 343: The Assassination Begins

The bright moon in Xuedou Temple tonight is indeed very cold, the soldiers in the west wing of the temple stomped their feet one by one, boring to pass the time, they all saw the temple chanting Buddha hall was brightly lit, it seemed that there were many people there to prepare for the all-night practice.

"These rich landlords really have money and nowhere to spend, all the good silver dollars are donated to the temple, we are working hard for the country one by one, why don't you donate some to us?" A tall, thin soldier standing guard complained.

"What nonsense? Is it called working hard for the country? When the Japanese attacked Shenyang, your brother was the first to escape, right? If you hadn't run first, our entire company wouldn't have been able to run with you.

If we didn't run first, our battalion wouldn't have been able to run all of us, and in the end, we even led the whole regiment to run with us. Alas, when I think of this, I feel sorry for my ancestors.

Now that the Northeast has also been occupied by the Japanese for six years, I don't know how many relatives at home are still alive? Listening to this, this is a pair of veterans of the former Northeast Army who are sentry here.

"Then you can't blame me, the officials have all run away, why should I give them my life, and then say that I was the first to run, at that time, it was obvious that everyone ran together, but I ran faster, and I kept running at the front of the deserters." The tall and thin soldier from earlier explained.

"Come on, don't explain, and don't envy those rich landlords. Let's work obediently for a few more years, and when we earn some more money, we can go back to the countryside and marry a daughter-in-law to live the rest of our lives peacefully. Another short-fat soldier said.

"Just count on the soldier's salary, and don't want to earn money to marry a daughter-in-law in this life. If you want me to see, people have no foreign wealth and no wealth, and horses have no night grass and no fat, so let's just see what valuable things this temple has, and let's take some of it.

Maybe this deal will allow the two of us to earn enough money to marry our daughter-in-law. The tall and thin soldier continued to persuade.

"You can't steal anything from the temple! This is the territory of the Buddha, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense. The stocky soldier said.

"What's there? The villagers in our hometown were all killed by the bandits, and we didn't see a single Buddha appearing to save us. What Buddha do I not believe in? The tall, thin soldier tightened his grip on his back as he touched the stocky sentry with his arm.

"Do you see dozens of big boxes sent by the rich man during the day?"

"See, what's wrong?" Humpty Dumpty said.

"I had been paying attention to it at the time, and the dozen or so boxes were very heavy, and I heard from the people who entered the temple that they had purchased them in the town in the past few days.

I heard that it is all good things, there are hundreds of monks' clothes and hats alone, and all kinds of valuable utensils, anyway, they are doing things now, why don't you and I go and take a look? The tall and thin soldier said ill-intentionedly.

"You still want to steal?" Humpty Dumpty asked.

"What you say is to see, do you understand it? Of course, if you look good, you can naturally grab a few pieces. ”

"Isn't this still stealing? This is a temple, if we do this thing of stealing chickens and dogs, we will not be punished? "The stocky soldier seemed to be in awe of the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"Look at what you said, didn't the rich man who entered the temple say it? He donated all these things to the temple, aren't we the people in the temple now? He didn't say whether it was donated to the monks in the temple or to the garrison in the temple, right? The tall and thin soldier said strongly.

"You're really a ghost, that's okay?" The stocky soldier was a little moved.

"I don't care anyway, we'll be on duty tonight, it's more than two hours before the changing of the guard. If you don't go, I'll go alone, and then I'll get the money, don't ask me for a share." With that, the tall and thin soldier walked to the storehouse to the west.

When the short and fat soldier saw it, he immediately chased after him, and the two of them secretly pried open the west treasury together. The two sneaked into the place where these boxes were stored.

By the bright moonlight, the two looked at each other and smiled, there were dozens of wooden boxes of all sizes stacked here, as long as one of the boxes contained valuable toys, their daughter-in-law's money would be gone.

The two came to the largest box in the corner, gently picked the lock on the box, and slowly opened the box, only to see that the box was covered with layers of clothing.

Before the two of them could see what else was under the box, two sharp short swords suddenly stretched out from the clothes in the box, and passed through their throats lightly.

The two of them reflexively held the short sword inserted into their throats tightly with their hands, and their mouths opened and closed for a long time without shouting a word.

Then the two short swords were quickly drawn out of their throats, and the two fell to the ground. At the moment when they fell to the ground, the two of them were still thinking that the things in this temple really couldn't be stolen, and they would be punished before they could steal it.

When the two of them fell to the ground, they saw a thin man emerge from under the pile of clothes in the box. As soon as he jumped out of the box, he said into the open space, "When you see people coming in, why don't you just kill them?" And let me do it. ”

Unexpectedly, a voice in the dark room replied, "Elder Hetian, don't be angry?" I just got out of it, too. The hands and feet are still numb, where can I have time to kill the two of them?

But now that the people have asked you to kill them, let's release a few of them quickly, and then find a way to kill Zhang Xueliang together, right? But we'll have to get rid of all the soldiers in this company first, or they'll change the guard and find that it's not good to have two less sentries. A burly elder said.

"You're right, you go and use the smoke to fascinate all the soldiers in this temple, I'll go to the back mountain and hang down the rope, reserve the back road, and it's time to act in another hour, let's get all the other people out."

Elder Wada immediately released the other two elders and the four gunmen in several other huge boxes. As soon as a few people came out, they let out a long breath.

Although the box is big enough and there are ventilation holes, I have been holding it in for most of the day, and my hands and feet are numb when I come out one by one.

After it took a few minutes for everyone to get back to normal, the four gunmen removed a variety of guns and ammunition from the compartment of one of the boxes. The four elders of the Black Dragon Society also took out their own unique weapons.

Then the eight men split into two groups and began to act separately. First, the two elders went to the west wing of the Xuedou Temple and fainted the hundreds of Chinese soldiers sleeping in the room.

At the same time, Elder Wada and another elder each carried a bundle of ropes, quietly dived to the top of the mountain, and then lowered the two bundles of ropes from the cliff at the top of the mountain.

These two ropes are the escape lines after they complete their mission. From here, they'll slide straight down the cliff, and an hour later it's time for them to move.

An hour later, the four gunners brought by Nanzao Yunzi will drive a small boat at the bottom of the cliff to meet them in the river. This plan was conceived by Nanzao Yunzi, and it was very bold and reasonable.

Because no matter whether the assassination succeeds or fails, the road below the mountain will be blocked, and no one would have thought that they did not run down the mountain, let alone into the forest, but fled to the highest part of the mountain, and finally fled along the river under the cliff.

And as soon as the gunshots here rang out, the Xuedou Temple would inevitably be in chaos, if Zhang Xueliang was assassinated, the people of the military command would not have time to take care of the hundreds of people in the temple, and then under the witness of many people, Nanzao Yunzi and Chongyang on the water could retreat calmly.

Several elders of the Black Dragon Society arranged a retreat, and stunned hundreds of soldiers, the four elders quietly lurked outside the guest house, and the four gunmen had also occupied the high place of the Xuedou Temple, and several people were watching the guest house while slowly waiting for the time to act.

As soon as the time passed, the time for action was up, and the four elders immediately prepared to attack the guest house, but as soon as they touched the door of the guest house, they heard a loud explosion coming from the treasury of the Xuedou Temple.

Then the agents in the guest house reacted immediately, and they each entered the defensive position and began to guard carefully.

At the same time, I only heard the sound of firefighting in the Xuedou Temple, and I did not hear the shouts of the soldiers of that company. The agents of the military command, who were in charge of presiding over the guest house and guarding Zhang Xueliang, immediately noticed that something was wrong.

They sent several agents out of the guest house in full gear to inspect the Snow Sinus Chamber. Before they could walk out of the door of the guest house, several gunshots rang out, and several military commanders fell down in response, and at the same time, there was also an "enemy attack" in the guest house. The shouts.

Then the emergency mechanism of the guest house was activated, and the telephone and radio of the attack on the guest house were sent to the garrison at the foot of the mountain and to Dai Li's office in Nanjing.

Elder Hetian of the Black Dragon Society knew that the operation had failed, but he was unwilling not to make a final effort, because the enemy in front of them now was only dozens of agents of the military command of the Republic of China, and it was not difficult for the four elders of them to kill them as long as they worked together.

Elder Fukuda did not give the order to retreat, but instead ordered a strong attack, and the four elders began to forcibly attack the guest house by taking advantage of the darkness of the night.

I have to say that the four elders of the Black Dragon Society are still very experienced, they used the cover of night, and then gave full play to their personal strong force to quickly kill more than a dozen peripheral military command agents.

But when they reached the guest house, where Zhang Xueliang was, they couldn't do anything, because at the back of this room, more than two dozen agents hid behind a thickened wall and blocked Zhang Xueliang behind him.

One by one, they formed a human wall, armed with all kinds of pistols and submachine guns. As soon as there is movement in any direction, a shuttle will be punched and a few grenades will be thrown at each other.

Even if the four elders were all slightly injured to varying degrees, they couldn't attack it anyway. What's worse is that for some reason, the soldiers in Xuedou Temple woke up early, and when they heard the gunshots here, they immediately killed them.

And several gunmen sent by Tohihara were caught off guard by these soldiers who suddenly appeared, and they were killed one after another.
