Since the battle at Lugou Bridge began on July 7, the citizens of Beiping have been watching for more than 20 days, during which the representatives of the two sides have been negotiating like a marquee, saying for a while that they will not fight and signing a cease-fire agreement; After a while, they accused each other of lacking sincerity, the ceasefire was fake, and the use of the ceasefire agreement to mobilize troops was real, so the war broke out again. Morale on both sides was high, and in several battles, both sides suffered casualties. In the Battle of Langfang on July 25, the 226th Regiment of the 29th Army abandoned Langfang after a fierce battle, and the 77th Wing of the Japanese Kawagishi Division cheered and played military music to march around the city to thank the emperor. And ten days ago in the battle for the Yongding River railway bridge, the 29th Army Ji Xingwen Regiment formed a death squad, on the iron bridge opened the broadsword, and the Japanese army guarding the bridge to start hand-to-hand combat, this time the 29th Army took advantage, dozens of Japanese soldiers became ghosts under the knife, the morale of the soldiers of the 29th Army was greatly boosted, when the assembly horn sounded, the troops could not be retracted, and the Chinese soldiers who played with their lives were everywhere around the position holding big knives to chase and kill the fleeing Japanese soldiers, like dogs chasing rabbits......

The old and young masters of Beiping City were convinced that Little Japan was not the opponent of the 29th Army at all. A lot of people are already thinking about the post-war and are raising the bar with each other. Some people say that if you have to forgive people and spare people, let Japan pay some tribute to China every year, and you can't ignore and forgive people. Some people say, no, it can't be just like that, just destroy the Japanese country, arrest their emperor and raise them in a dry well, and feed them a piece of pickles every day.

On the evening of July 26, the battle of Guang'anmen in Beiping City broke out again, this time the Japanese suffered another loss, and the lost troops fled back to Fengtai, and the liquor in the city was out of stock that night, and the people of Beiping breathed bad again.

That day, Wen San'er went out in the evening, and he had already made an appointment with Hua Mao'er to go to the Kasawara Trading Company at night to find Sato to take revenge, and there was nowhere to spend a few hours in between, so he wandered around the street. When he passed by the entrance of the vegetable market, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, and a group of heavily armed soldiers of the 29th Army was running in the direction of Guang'anmen. Wen San'er knew that the soldiers had come out of the barracks near Shaanxi Lane, where a battalion of the 679th Regiment of the 27th Independent Brigade of the 29th Army was stationed. Wen San'er didn't care about it at first, but he immediately noticed that many ordinary people were also running behind the team in a hurry, and it seemed that something was about to happen. Wen San'er and the old and young masters in Peking have the same hobby, that is, they love to watch the excitement, and when they see the two fighting on the street, Wen San'er will never persuade them, and they also stir up trouble on both sides of the ground, lest they can't fight. If one party suffers a loss, Wen San'er will add fuel to the fire and say a few words, tsk, tsk, buddy, how can people fight like this? I can't stand it, we are also the masters of standing and peeing, can we suffer this loss? Take a breath and then practice. So the lord who had suffered was again raised with fire, and rushed forward with no death.

At this time, of course, Wen San'er couldn't let go of the opportunity to watch the excitement, and also ran with the team. After the north entrance of Baiguang Road, you will arrive at Baoguo Temple, and the soldiers will go up the Guang'anmen Tower along the slope of the road of the city wall. Wen San'er saw that the city gate was closed, the city wall was full of soldiers of the 29th Army with loaded guns, and the streets of Guangnei were crowded, and the people were talking about something in twos and threes. Wen San'er was about to lean over and ask, when he saw Ma Da Da bareheaded, with a wide belt tied around his waist, and a top door bar on his shoulder, coming out of the alley of the North Line Pavilion majestically. Wen San'er remembered that this guy lived in the North Line Pavilion Hutong, and he had also been to Ma Datou's house.

As soon as Ma Datou saw Wen San'er, he was happy and said: "Yo, I said who it is, Wu Dalang called the door - Wang Ba is here." ”

Wen San'er hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Big head, what's wrong here?" ”

Ma Datou replied: "You still need to ask, can you still do it?" Fight the little devils. ”

Wen San'er was happy: "Just you?" Hey, I really didn't see that there was still an anti-Japanese hero hidden in the 'Tonghe' car dealership? It's like a real thing, and he still carries the top door bar, and there is a dead mouse in his waist - pretending to be hunting. This guy in your hand is still fighting devils? No matter what, you have to get the roots of Hanyang, no matter how bad the bird gun is, how can you come with the top door bar? This is called Wu Dalang selling turtles - who deserves what goods. ”

"Wen San'er, you kid is a cucumber on the board - where are you looking for a shot? Grandpa, my forehand is itchy. ”

"What's the matter? Look at this posture, are you really going to do it today? Wen San'er asked.

"What do you think is a joke? See, our neighbor's second aunt is on the city tower, the captain and company commander of the 29th Army. He said that there was a young man who was going to enter the city, and Commander Liu planned to him. The old and young masters in the city have all said that everyone will follow after a while, and kill him one by one. As for the little devil, I'll let him do it alone. I said Wen San'er, you kid usually disobey seven and eight are not angry, and he always says that you will know this kung fu and that kung fu, shouldn't you show your hand at this time? ”

Wen San'er prevaricated: "How did I know that I was going to fight, I didn't have any guys on me, so I couldn't be empty-handed, right?" ”

Ma Datou blocked Wen San'er's mouth with one sentence: "This is easy to do, you use my top door bar first, you are polite to me, I will go home and get a kitchen knife." ”

When it comes to this, Wen San'er can't shirk it anymore. He can't let Ma Datou look down on him, otherwise this grandson's stinky mouth won't be dispersed for him everywhere. Wen San'er can't afford to save face.

Just when Wen San'er was waiting for Ma Datou to go home to get the kitchen knife, the tower of Guang'anmen City had been loaded and the knife was unsheathed......

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Japanese negotiators Sakurai and Nakajima, and secretary Shigeru Sato climbed the Guang'anmen Tower, claiming that some Japanese soldiers stationed in Fengtai wanted to enter the city to visit the Forbidden City, hoping that Liu Ruzhen, commander of the 679th Regiment of the 29th Army, would open the city gate and let them go.

Regiment Commander Liu had already received a call from his superiors: More than 500 Japanese troops stationed in Fengtai were approaching the gate outside Guang'anmen with 12 trucks, five seater cars, and two tanks, preparing to attack Guang'anmen by surprise. The superior ordered the Japanese army to force their way into the city and destroy them on the spot.

While dealing with the Japanese negotiators on the city tower, Regiment Commander Liu secretly ordered a battalion stationed in Shaanxi Lane to immediately reinforce it, and it was this unit that Wen San'er encountered at Caishikou.

Rao is a Japanese trick, and this time he can be regarded as fooled. After the ambush, Commander Liu and other troops pretended to allow the Japanese army to enter the city, so the Japanese troops outside the city swarmed into the urn city. Sakurai, the Japanese negotiator who was as cunning as a fox, also walked away this time, and he didn't notice that the inner gate of the urn city was not open at this time. The Japanese army was crowded in the urn city, waiting to open the door...... Suddenly, dense hands were dropped on the city tower, and with the sound of gunfire, the officers and soldiers of the 679th Regiment condescendingly opened fire on the Japanese army. The Japanese army was caught off guard and was beaten on their backs, leaving behind a piece of corpse, and the rest of the people hurriedly fled outside the city, and the follow-up troops of the Japanese army were also disrupted, and in a panic they turned around and fled along the Pingfeng Highway in the direction of Liuli Bridge......

The morale of the officers and men of the 679th Regiment was greatly boosted, and they drew their broadswords and rushed out of the city, and the white-knuckle fighting began in the area of Guanxiang outside the city.

In 1933, the Japanese army assessed the 29th Army after the war as follows: outdated equipment, backward tactics, poor quality of officers and soldiers, and its combat effectiveness is third-rate in the battle sequence of the Chinese army.

The assessment of the 29 Army by the Japanese was essentially objective. The 29th Army is not a modern army, it has one foot in the age of cold weapons, and the other foot has stepped into the age of firearms. This army from the commander to the soldier each hand a big sword, pay attention to knife training, no matter how bad the kung fu will be two or three sets of knife techniques, the soul of the whole army is filled with a classical spirit, even the heroes advocated in the military song are also the generals of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong of Changbanpo and the like. From the perspective of the Japanese Army, the combat effectiveness of this unit is only slightly stronger than that of the Boxers of that year, but it is worth noting that the 29th Army's level of close combat and night combat is extremely high, and the individual combat effectiveness of each soldier can be greatly brought into play in close combat and night combat. This can be confirmed from the night attack on Panjiakou that year. At that time, the 29th Army Dong Shengtang Regiment took advantage of the night to raid the camp of the Japanese cavalry, just entered the army and messed up the battalion, the company commander could not find the platoon commander, and the squad leaders did not know where their fighters were, the battle became a hunt, the soldiers fought separately, chased when they saw the prey, caught up and raised the knife to cut, for a time the knife flashed, such as chopping melons and vegetables, the heads of the Japanese cavalry were rolling all over the street like watermelons......

The "77 Incident" in 1937 only ignited the war, and the full-scale escalation of the war was more than 20 days later, and the Battle of Guang'anmen on July 26 was a small battle that was easily ignored by historians.

At this time, on the Guanxiang Street outside Guang'an Gate, the soldiers of the 29th Army started a game of dogs and rabbits, and even some of the more courageous Beiping men rushed out of the city with various guys to participate in the battle......

When the inner city gate opened, Ma Datou was carrying a kitchen knife and jumped out of the alley, seeing that many ordinary people also rushed out of the city with the troops, so the blood rushed straight to the brain, he waved at Wen San'er and roared: "Wen San'er, what the hell are you waiting for?" Follow me. With that, he rushed out of the city with a kitchen knife. Wen San'er was also excited for a while, he also fought in a group fight in the beggar gang when he was a teenager, he was experienced, when the other party was defeated and retreated, his side was always demoralized, and he didn't chase the other party out of two or three miles. The current situation is a bit like a group fight back then. The vanguard of the Japanese army was blinded, and when they turned around and fled, they rushed the follow-up troops to pieces, and before they had time to stabilize their positions, they saw the Chinese soldiers holding bright broadswords all over the world, chasing and slashing, the Japanese army suddenly scattered, many Japanese soldiers rushed to the houses on both sides of Guanxiang Street in a panic to take refuge, and the brothers of the 29th Army were unequivocal, chasing into the houses with big swords, and fighting with the Japanese soldiers in the courtyard and even on the kang heads of the residents......

Wen San'er got up for a while, and also rushed out of the city with Ma Datou with the top door bar, he began to follow Ma Datou, but Ma Datou ran fast, and disappeared in a few clicks. Wen San'er hesitated for a moment, and was wondering whether to continue to rush forward, when he saw several soldiers of the 29th Army rushing forward past Wen San'er from behind......

Ma Datou followed a sergeant of the 29th Army into a courtyard, and saw that two Japanese soldiers were angrily smashing the door of the house with **, and the residents in the house were desperately holding the door, and the two sides were holding each other. The sergeant jumped over with an arrow step, slashed with a knife, and a Japanese soldier hurriedly blocked with a bayonet......

Ma Datou raised his knife to block another Japanese soldier and shouted: "I have this ......" He took a kitchen knife in his head, and was dodged by the Japanese soldier, he was not discouraged, and raised the knife again. Although Ma Datou has practiced wrestling, it is the first time he has experienced real knife and gun fighting. He had no brute strength, but no discipline, and a kitchen knife against a rifle with a bayonet had no chance of winning. As soon as he raised the kitchen knife above his head, the Japanese soldier's bayonet had already stabbed him in the stomach like lightning. Ma Datou snorted, and cut down the knife in pain, this knife was cutting the left hand of the Japanese soldier holding the gun, and the sharp kitchen knife cut off the thumb of the Japanese soldier without reducing its strength, and actually cut the barrel out of a deep knife mark...... Ma Datou weakly threw away the kitchen knife, grabbed the Japanese soldier's gun with both hands and fell, and the Japanese soldier who had his finger cut off couldn't help but scream while shaking his injured left hand.

The sergeant of the 29th Army was a master of playing with knives, and the moment the machete and bayonet collided, his right leg flew up and kicked the Japanese soldier in the crotch. The Japanese soldier screamed, and the scream fell, and the sergeant's blade had accurately landed on the Japanese soldier's neck. The sergeant turned around and pounced on the Japanese soldier who stabbed Ma Datou, and cut down the Japanese soldier with a knife, he threw away the knife and helped Ma Datou and shouted: "Brother, brother, let's clean up the little devils, wake up, ...... you wake up."

Ma Datou was speechless, he stared at the sergeant, and the hand holding the gun gradually loosened. The sergeant sighed, picked up his horse's head, and walked out of the courtyard.

Just as Ma Datou fell, Wen San'er also fell, he lay on the ground motionless, no different from a dead man...... When he waved the top door bar and charged behind several soldiers, a Japanese soldier carrying a "crooked handle" machine gun turned around and fired a point shot while running, and the **** soldier was shot and fell. Before Wen San'er could understand what was going on, he felt that something flew over with a "whoosh" and clung to his scalp, and his legs fell down as soon as he became weak. It's not that Wen San'er is pretending to be a grandson, it's that he thought he had been shot for a while, and when he found that all parts of his body were intact, the Japanese machine gunner had been blasted into the sky by a hand, and the rest of the 29th Army soldiers rushed forward again. At this time, Wen San'er didn't plan to get up again, he once again found that the work of charging and fighting was not something he could do, he thought about this problem in Babaoshan that day, and gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and swore that he would never meddle again in the future, how could he fuck a mouse, and forget about it? He Wen San'er came to see the excitement, and he didn't have the addiction to fighting with anyone at all, and he complained about Ma Datou's grandson, why was he so energetic? As soon as he heard that there was a war, he jumped up and down as if he had eaten bee droppings, and he forced the broken door pole to himself, lest Wen San'er be idle. It's still the same sentence, if the Japanese don't enter the city, it won't hinder Wen San'er's business, whoever comes Wen San'er has to pull a cart, and he has to sell coolies, resist the Japanese, and resist the fucking ghosts.

"Yo, there's still a common person here, let's take it away." Several soldiers of the 29th Army who were cleaning the battlefield thought that Wen San'er was a dead man and were about to carry him.

"Don't move, I'm still angry here." Wen San'er sat up and said angrily.

"Brother, why are you lying here, falling asleep while walking?" One soldier quipped.

"That's right, I'm strolling, and I'm asleep as soon as I close my eyes." Wen San'er didn't care about the sarcasm of the soldiers, he said in his heart that I am not a soldier, and it is superfluous to come today.

In the first battle of Guang'anmen, the 679th Regiment of the 29th Army took advantage, the Japanese suffered more than 100 casualties, cars and tanks were thrown on the street of Guanxiang, and most of the Japanese fled to Liuli Bridge.

Wen San'er was sitting under the city tower in a daze, he only found Ma Datou's body after entering the city. Ma Datou was covered in blood, lying with the corpses of more than a dozen fallen soldiers, and Wen San'er was stupid when he saw it. He was looking for Ma Datou everywhere, planning to return the top door bar to him, but he never expected Ma Datou to die. Wen San'er was not mentally prepared at all, this kid was still alive just now, and he was playing with a kitchen knife, there were so many people in Guang'anmen, it was obvious that he could, why did he die in the blink of an eye? Wen San'er wondered if he should go to Ma Datou's house to have a look and report a message, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go. He knows that Ma Datou has four children, the source of life mainly depends on Ma Datou to pull the car, his wife sews and mends for people, and the family barely survives, if he learns of Ma Datou's death, his wife will faint, and then the child will cry and scream, and the whole alley must know, Wen San'er can't get out of the body for a while, and he has to pay for it. Forget it, it's better to have more than one thing these days, who can take care of whom.

Wen San'er threw away the top door bar and fled like a thief.

That day, Wen San'er farted and smashed the heel of his shoe - the evil (shoe) was moldy. There are some things that he has never understood, and he always feels that someone has set himself up and tried to put him in it, but he is not too sure, he has no evidence.

Bunsan'er hesitated for a long time to go to the Kasawara Trading Company to find Sato for revenge. He is actually a very timid person, he usually claims to have practiced kung fu, how good his fists and feet are, it is just an illusion, this hallucination has been in his mind for a long time, and his memory has been deviated, thinking that it is true. Wen San'er has never been serious with anyone in his life, except for the two group fights when he was a teenager, and he has not been beaten up a lot. He couldn't imagine what to do with Sato when he saw him, it stands to reason that Sato slapped him in two mouths, and if Wen San'er retaliated, he would return him four mouths at most, what else could he do? You can't cut off one of his legs, Wen San'er doesn't have the guts. If it's just to give Sato a few mouths, then what's the need to come to the door with a lot of people? With the idea of the third child, this matter will be forgotten. The problem is that he has already made an appointment with Hua Mao'er, and if he doesn't go, it will be equivalent to killing Hua Mao'er, which is also not a joke. This person's vicious and ruthless Wen San'er has already been taught, whether he has the ability to beat the Japanese Wen San'er doesn't know, but he still has the ability to beat him Wen San'er. Wen San'er is really in a dilemma.

If it weren't for Wen San'er remembering the beautiful woman at Kasawara Trading House, he really wouldn't have planned to go. That little girl is really seductive, Wen San'er's brain suddenly opened, go! Why don't you go? What nationality is this little girl? The Japanese. How many Chinese did the Japanese kill? How can this revenge not be avenged? How to report? Real knives and guns to do it with the Japanese, Wen San'er doesn't have this ability, he has the ability to do that Japanese girl. Aren't you Japanese bullying the Chinese? Lao Tzu just play you Japanese girls, who can say that this is not anti-Japanese? Wen San'er thinks that he is patriotic, and of course resisting Japan is a serious matter, since he Wen San'er has no ability to charge into battle, then he can only do what he can.

Wen San'er didn't have a watch, his concept of time has always relied on estimation, the big self-striking bell in Xijiaomin Lane had just struck midnight, and Wen San'er was already standing in front of the gate of the Kasahara Trading Company, and he knew that he had come half an hour earlier. According to the agreement, the time when he and Hua Mao'er met should be 0:30. Wen San'er wanted to wait in the dark shadow across the street, but unexpectedly found that the door of the Kasahara Trading Company was open, and there was not even a ghost around him. Wen San'er wondered, now that the Japanese expatriates in the city have become frightened birds, they can't wait to find a mouse hole to hide, why is the gate open here? Could it be that the cats have already gone in? It's good if you really go in, Wen San'er likes to follow others and coax, and he never does the first thing. Wen San'er decided to go in and have a look.

The courtyard of the Kasawara Trading House was dark and dreary, without a single light, and the courtyard was eerily quiet. Wen San'er went straight to the backyard when he entered the courtyard, and he remembered that he had collided with the Japanese woman in front of the moon gate leading to the backyard. The backyard was also silent, Wen San'er suddenly felt that something was wrong, it was not normal to be quiet here, it was like a cemetery. Wen San'er had the heart to turn around and go back, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity, thinking that maybe they had already been here, and they left again when they saw that there was no one here. The Japanese are not stupid, since the beginning of the war, the citizens of Beiping will fight when they see Japanese expatriates, Wen San'er knows that the Japanese embassy is in Dongjiaomin Lane, and there are Japanese military guards in the embassy, and a few days ago he also saw many Japanese expatriates dragging their families to move to the embassy, Sato probably will not live here and wait to be beaten, Bacheng also moved to Dongjiaomin Lane. Wen San'er would rather come for nothing today, he is really a little worried about Hua Mao'er, this guy is so enthusiastic to help Wen San'er take revenge, it doesn't seem normal.

Wen San'er quickly came to the conclusion that this courtyard was no longer inhabited, and since this was the case, there was nothing to be afraid of. The Sato people should always leave something behind when they move away, and Wen San'er didn't believe that he could move his house so clean, so he decided to search to see if there was anything else valuable. He boldly pushed open Sato's study, and as soon as he entered the door, he tripped and fell, and his head was still slammed on the edge of the Eight Immortals Table, which made Wen San'er feel confused for a while, and his hands touched something slimy. Wen San'er took out a match from his coat pocket and struck it, and let out a strange cry when he looked at it. The scream was so strange that Wen San'er didn't even believe it was coming from his throat. He found that he had tripped over a female corpse, and that his hands were covered in blood. The deceased is the Japanese woman who made Wen San'er think about it, this little girl's eyes are still open, but she has lost her former luster. She had a terrible wound on her neck, her body was still a little warm, and the blood was not completely coagulated, and it seemed that this bloody incident had just happened. Wen San'er took advantage of the light of the match to observe the study, and he immediately understood what was happening, someone had just ransacked the place, the room was turned into a mess, and the safe in the corner was open, and it was empty...... Wen San'er clearly remembers that that day Sato carefully put "Orchid Bamboo Picture" into this safe, and it was already clear that this must have been done by Hua Mao'er. Wen San'er remembered that Hua Mao'er had taken the trouble to ask him about the layout of the courtyard of the Kasawara Trading Company, the furnishings in Sato's study, and the location of the safe, and repeatedly asked Wen San'er if he had seen Sato put the "Orchid Bamboo Picture" in the safe. After drinking a meal, Hua Mao'er had already set out all the things he wanted to know, and then made a set for Wen San'er, letting him drill into it by himself, and once there was a stir, he would lead the clues to Wen San'er, which was really fucking yin. The flower cat is just a broken reminder[1]

, Wen San'er seemed to see Xiao Jianbiao's sinister eyes flashing behind Hua Mao'er. This is a real gang of bandits, and at the moment the city of Beiping is in danger, the people's hearts are panicking, and the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people has reached the point where it is about to explode. In this kind of war and chaos, Japanese expatriates are killed every day, who cares about the looting of the Kasawara trading company?

When Wen San'er slipped away, he found that it was not only the woman who was killed in the Kasawara Trading Company, but there were seven or eight corpses in the courtyard and house of the three entrances before and after. Sato's body lay in the door of the north room in the middle courtyard, and the back of his head seemed to have been shattered by some blunt object. Wen San'er judged that this guy was attacked from behind. The "Sanhe Gang" is not a good stubble, if you don't make a move, it will be enough, once you make a move, it will be a bloody case, and there will be no one left alive. Wen San'er patted his head, fortunately it still grew on his neck, he drank too much and bragged in the tavern that day, and received more than a dozen slaps from the flower cat, Xiao Jianbiao was polite enough to himself, compared with the fate of the Sato family, these dozen slaps were simply the greatest love for Wen San'er.

Wen San'er slipped out of the courtyard gate of the Kasawara Trading Company, and just turned the corner, he heard the sound of bangs behind him. He stood around the corner and looked in, but was taken aback when he saw that the watchman had walked straight into the gate of the Kasawara Trading Company. Wen San'er was scared out of a cold sweat, and he finally understood Hua Mao'er's intentions. According to the convention, the watchman is only responsible for patrolling the street, but some large families are willing to pay for the watchman to pay special attention to the safety of their yard every day, and Sato is afraid that he paid the watchman, so when the watchman saw the gate of the Kasawara Trading Company open, he was naturally suspicious and wanted to go in and have a look. Hua Mao'er's plan was very thorough, he knew that the watchman patrolled here at half past twelve every night, and completed the murder and robbery before twelve o'clock, and then deliberately opened the door, because he knew that Wen San'er would arrive at half past twelve, and Wen San'er would arrive as soon as the watchman arrived, and then Wen San'er was full of mouths and didn't want to say it clearly. He had already made a plan and let Wen San'er drill into it by himself. Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and the police department will not bother to solve the case, especially the case of killing the Japanese. Wen San'er gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, Hua Mao'er, you kid is so fucking yin.

The murder of the Kasawara Trading Company annoyed Xu Jingo, who didn't care about the killing of the Sato family, and the key was that the murder ruined his plan. In Xu Jinge's eyes, the death of Hideo Sato was no less valuable than the annihilation of a Japanese division. If it weren't for the outbreak of the war, Xu Jinge really couldn't do anything with this veteran spy, he couldn't do anything except monitor and track, his identity was just a Japanese businessman, once there were three longs and two shorts, it would not only be a diplomatic dispute, and the war would break out in advance. But the opportunity has come these days, with the escalation of the war, a wave of hatred of Japan has been set off in the city of Beiping, and now is the right time to act, anyway, these days the Japanese expatriates in the city are like rats crossing the street, being beaten everywhere, making the necessary preparation for the disappearance of Hideo Sato.

Xu Jinge's plan was to take advantage of this chaos to raid the Kasawara Trading Company, kidnap Hideo Sato, destroy this spy center, open a gap from Hideo Sato, and crack the Japanese spy network in North China in one fell swoop. Xu Jinge believes that even if this Hideo Sato is trained by the devil, he is sure that he will pry his mouth open with torture. However, the bloody case at the Kasawara Trading Company brought Xu Jinge to ruin. For this raid, he prepared for a whole week, and specially transferred capable operatives from Nanjing, equipped with special weapons and vehicles, who knew that this bloody incident had occurred two hours before the scheduled time of the operation, and when the news came, he was so angry that he almost went crazy.

Fang Jinglin was the first to arrive at the scene. That night, the watchman reported the case to the police station, and the chief drank high that night, and received a call from the police officer on duty not long after lying down. As soon as the director heard that the Japanese had been killed, he was angry and scolded the officer on duty: "What's the fucking problem with your brain?" In the middle of the night, this little is also reported? Didn't you just slaughter a few Japanese? Fuck it alive! I want to slaughter the Emperor of Japan. Well, whose area of responsibility is Kasawara Trading? Fang Jinglin? So what the are you calling me? Why don't you just go to him? ”

The director slammed down the phone, turned and lay down, and within a minute was snoring like thunder.

Fang Jinglin arrived at the scene two hours after the bloody incident, although he was professionally trained, he was still shocked by the bloody scene at the scene, who did this? The murder method was extremely skillful, and the eight men and women who died were all killed by the murderer by a blow in a sudden attack, some with blunt force injuries, and some with knife wounds. From the analysis of the distribution of corpses at the scene, the murder was committed by many people, the murderers used knives to open the latch of the courtyard door, entered through the gate, and killed people whenever they met, the murder method was very professional, blunt force injuries were mostly to the back of the head, and the knife wounds were all in the carotid artery, and the victims were afraid that they did not even have time to scream when they were attacked.

Fang Jinglin rummaged through Hideo Sato's body and concluded that the murder had occurred two hours earlier, as most of the corpses had already appeared corpse spots. According to the textbook, after death, blood circulation stops, and the blood in the blood vessels moves to the lower part of the corpse due to gravity, accumulating in the capillaries and venules and causing them to expand, showing purple spots through the skin, called corpse spots. Corpse spots first appear 30 minutes after death, and usually begin to appear an hour or two after death.

Fang Jinglin's assistant Zhong Jingyao whistled and took a few photos at the scene, and then sat on the Taishi's chair and smoked. Fang Jinglin frowned and stared at him, Zhong Jingyao hurriedly stood up and said: "Officer Fang, this case is very clear, it is just an ordinary murder and property robbery case, I have been to several scenes in a row in the past few days, and the situation is roughly the same, and the victims are almost all Japanese nationals." ”

Fang Jinglin asked, "Who do you think did this?" ”

"Of course, it's a mob, and its purpose is nothing more than to take advantage of the chaos to loot property."

Fang Jinglin said: "What do you think of these cases? ”

"I think they deserve it, the Japanese should be killed, and one less should die."

"But have you thought about it, this is not on the battlefield, besides, most of the victims are women and children, and the murderer is too cruel, this is indiscriminate killing of innocents, I don't believe that the murderer did it out of patriotism or anti-Japanese sentiment." Fang Jinglin said coldly.

Zhong Jingyao said disapprerovingly: "Of course the murderer is not a good citizen, but what can we do even if we catch the murderer?" The common people will treat us as traitors, saying that our elbows are turned outward, and I think we should have more things than less things, and archive the materials. ”

Fang Jinglin nodded in agreement, he was thinking about another possibility, could this be done by Xu Jinge's department? It's not been a day or two since the people of the military commander have been monitoring Hideo Sato, and as an intelligence officer, Fang Jinglin certainly knows the value of Hideo Sato. If this is the case, Fang Jinglin feels that it is time to contact Xu Jinge. He has been looking for an opportunity to get close to the military commanders, and Xu Jinge should be a good target. Last time in front of the Kasawara Trading House, he consciously made things difficult for Xu Jinge, and he knew him, and they met on the street a few times, and they nodded and said hello to each other. Fang Jinglin just didn't have the opportunity to have further contact with Xu Jinge, so why not take this homicide case as an opportunity to talk to Xu Jinge? Fang Jinglin knew that whether it was now or in the future, he would sooner or later face the enemy of the Military Command Bureau.

Fang Jinglin asked Xu Jinge to meet at a teahouse in Dashilar.

There is an unwritten rule within the Military Command Bureau that there should be as little interaction as possible with personnel outside the system, which is what Boss Dai meant, and he believes that the best way for professional intelligence personnel to avoid showing their heads and making friends with all sides is to hide themselves and become the most inconspicuous characters in the crowd. Xu Jinge has never discounted his implementation of Boss Dai's instructions, and he never even makes friends. Because of his profession, he has long developed the habit of being suspicious, and he is vigilant enough against everyone who approaches him, and Fang Jinglin's invitation has aroused his vigilance.

Xu Jinge was late for a while, and as soon as he entered the teahouse, he hugged his fists and greeted Fang Jinglin: "I'm sorry, Brother Jinglin, I'm late, forgive my sins, forgive my sins." ”

Fang Jinglin smiled and said, "It is understandable, Beiping City is in danger, you must be very busy." ”

"Brother Jinglin has something to do with me?" As soon as Xu Jinge sat down, he asked straightforwardly.

"Of course there is something, Brother Jin Ge, you guys did a good job, the eight members of the Sato family have been killed, is this necessary?" Fang Jinglin poured tea for Xu Jinge and said.

"Oh, if you ask about it, then I can tell you that it wasn't our doing. The murder at Kasawara Trading Company should have been an ordinary criminal case with no political background. ”

"That's so, then I misunderstood you. Brother Jin Ge, I am very dissatisfied after this case happened, because that area is my area of responsibility, and if you have any action, you should say hello to me first. Moreover, the murderer's methods are too cruel, even killing women and the elderly, which is too much. ”

Xu Jinge smiled and said, "Brother Jinglin, let me tell you again, it really wasn't us who did it." But...... If we do, I'm afraid this will be the result. ”

"Forget it, since it's not, then I'll believe you, let's talk about something else, man, what do you think of the current battle situation?"

Xu Jinge said with a gloomy expression: "It's very bad, I'm afraid Beiping won't be able to hold it for a few days, the Japanese will enter the city just around the corner, and it is impossible for a 29th Army to stop them." According to intelligence, the strength of the Japanese army in Fengtai has increased to more than 5,700 men, two independent mixed brigades of the Kwantung Army have advanced to the Shunyi county town and the Gaoliying area, the 20 th Division of the Japanese and Korean garrison troops has entered the area of Tianjin, and six squadrons of the Kwantung Army Flying Group have flown to Shanhaiguan, Suizhong, and Jinzhou. ”

"The 29th Army is also known as 100,000 people, no matter what, it can withstand it for a week and wait for reinforcements, right?"

"Brother Jinglin, you don't understand Japan's military strength. Compared with Japan, the disparity in strength between us and Japan is too great, and this is not a matter of increasing the morale of others, this is a reality. Let me tell you another news, we are about to withdraw from Beiping, probably in the next day or two, Brother Jinglin, you should also consider the issue of retreat. ”

Fang Jinglin was shocked, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, even the people of the Military Unification Bureau were going to evacuate Beiping, but it was not up to him to decide where he went, and all his actions had to follow the instructions of his superiors. Thinking of this, Fang Jinglin was a little frustrated, no matter what, it would not be good to stay in Beiping as a slave to the country. Fang Jinglin smiled bitterly: "This has to blame me for not choosing a good errand and doing the police job, so you can retreat, but I can't, and I have to be loyal to my duties." However, if I am still alive, we will meet sooner or later, and I don't believe that China will die. ”

Xu Jinge stretched out his hand sympathetically: "Brother Jinglin, let's do it yourself, if you have trouble in the future, you can come to Nanjing to find me, brother, I am willing to help." It's the same, don't be a traitor in anything. ”

Fang Jinglin held his hand and said, "Don't worry, brother, I have two hearts, one is patriotism, and the other is conscience." ”

At this time, Luo Mengyun, Yang Qiuping and several male classmates walked into the teahouse, they held donation boxes and raised donations from tea guests from table to table. Luo Mengyun walked to the curved ruler-shaped counter and began to give a speech: "Compatriots, brothers and sisters, we are students of Yenching University, and on behalf of the teachers and students of Yenching, I implore you to raise donations for the anti-Japanese soldiers in front. Now that the national crisis is at hand, our heroic officers and men of the 29th Army are fighting the Japanese invaders on the front line, and all conscientious Chinese should support them, and those who have money will contribute and make a strong contribution. ”

The university students bowed to the tea drinkers, who poured some of their banknotes into the donation boxes.

Luo Mengyun and Yang Qiuping walked to Fang Jinglin and Xu Jingge's table with the donation box, Fang Jinglin hurriedly took out five yuan and put it into the donation box, Xu Jingge touched all the pockets on his body, and found that he didn't bring money, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, two young ladies, I didn't have any money on me, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Yang Qiuping said stubbornly: "This gentleman, you look carefully, maybe you forgot which pocket you put in for a while, don't worry, I can wait." ”

Xu Jinge was unhappy: "Why doesn't you young lady believe in people?" You mean I have money and don't want to give? ”

"Sir, I didn't say that, fundraising for the anti-Japanese resistance is voluntary, no one will force you, if you are really in difficulty, forget it, as long as you have this patriotism, we appreciate it the same." Yang Qiuping said lukewarmly. In fundraising activities, she is accustomed to seeing some people refuse to donate under various excuses, and claiming that they did not bring money is a common excuse, Yang Qiuping believes that Xu Jinge is a stingy person.

Xu Jinge's face flushed, he suddenly took off his watch and threw it into the donation box, and snorted: "Two young ladies, look at it, my 'Rolex' watch is worth more than a hundred oceans, this is not fake, right?" ”

Luo Mengyun was a little reluctant, and said apologetically: "Sir, don't be angry, my classmate is an anxious person, and I didn't mean to offend you, I apologize to you for her, as for this watch...... It's too precious, you better stay, we get it. ”

Yang Qiuping politely bowed to Xu Jinge and said, "Sir, you are so generous, this is the largest donation I have received since I participated in the fundraiser, thank you very much!" Your patriotic fervor will be rewarded. ”

Luo Mengyun said: "Qiu Ping, this is not appropriate, people are angry after listening to your words, let's return the watch to others." ”

Before Yang Qiuping could speak, Xu Jinge was impatient: "Miss, I have already donated, is there anything else?" If it's okay, just please, we still have something to talk about. ”

"Thanks again!" Yang Qiuping grabbed Luo Mengyun and said, "Mengyun, let's go, this gentleman is a man, how can he take back the donated items?" We have to believe in the man's character, let's go! ”

Fang Jinglin looked at the backs of the two girls and said with a smile: "What a powerful girl, this mouth is neither humble nor arrogant, but it can push people to the south wall." Brother Jin Ge, you too, what are you gambling on? ”

Xu Jinge replied thoughtfully: "These college students, kung fu is all about words, what China needs is people who can do real things on the battlefield." ”

On the morning of July 28, the battle that had been silent for several days suddenly broke out, and the Japanese army launched a general attack on the outskirts of Beiping City, with the 20th Division as the main force, under the cover of tank troops and artillery, launched an attack on Nanyuan. The main force of the infantry brigade of the Japanese garrison attacked from Fengtai to Nanyuan, cutting off the retreat of the defenders of Nanyuan in the direction of Beiping. The 38th Division, the 132nd Division and the Special Service Brigade of the 29th Army stationed in Nanyuan were forced to respond in a hurry, using the obstacles and villages around the barracks as cover, and stubbornly resisted, and some positions were lost and regained. However, due to the repeated bombardment of Japanese planes and artillery, the defenders could not deploy, and the communication facilities were blown up, and the command failed. The defenders fought hard until 1 p.m., with more than 5,000 casualties, deputy commander Tong Linge and 132nd Division commander Zhao Dengyu were killed, and Nanyuan was lost. On the same day, the 1st Brigade and the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Army, with the cooperation of aircraft, fiercely attacked the Chinese defenders in the northern suburbs and occupied Shahe, Qinghe Town and other places. The 37th Division and the 38th Division of the 29th Army also counterattacked the Japanese army, once recovering Fengtai and Langfang, and then lost again under the counterattack of the Japanese army. Song Zheyuan ordered his troops to retreat in the direction of Baoding that night, and Beiping fell.

On the 29th, the 1st Division of the 29th Army stationed in Tianjin, together with the Tianjin security and police forces, launched an attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Tianjin and the concession, and once captured the Beicang Airport and Tianjin Railway Station, approaching the Haiguangsi barracks, inflicting great casualties on the Japanese army. The Japanese army immediately organized a counteroffensive, and the defenders were overwhelmed and retreated to the horse factory. At the same time, the Tongzhou security team, which belonged to the puppet "Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Autonomy **", suddenly mutinied, surrounded the barracks of the Japanese garrison, and then attacked the Japanese shops, hotels, and private houses. More than 200 Japanese expatriates living in Tongzhou were killed, most of them women and children. China and Japan** have very different views on this incident, with the Chinese side calling the incident the "Tongzhou Incident" and the Japanese side calling it the "Tongzhou Massacre".

The occurrence of the "Tongzhou Incident" led to a large-scale anti-Japanese wave in the Pingjin area, in which many Japanese nationals were violently attacked, and some lawless people went so far as to take advantage of the chaos to loot property and rape women under the banner of resisting Japan. In this incident, the most satisfying should be the Japanese military headquarters, those radical and arrogant young Zhuang soldiers finally found an excuse for an all-out war. Once the war machine is in motion, even God will not be able to stop it.

At this point, the two cities of Pingjin fell into the hands of rivals.

On the day the Japanese entered the city, Wen San'er went to see the excitement as usual. The Japanese soldiers lined up in a four-way column to enter Guang'anmen, and the military band walked in the front, playing military music non-stop, and it was quite lively. Wen San'er stood in the crowd at the entrance of the North Line Pavilion Hutong and stretched his neck to watch, this was the first time he saw Japanese soldiers up close, and said that it was no wonder that they were called Little Japan, these Japanese soldiers were almost all 1.6 meters tall, and occasionally there was a taller soldier in the team like a camel in a flock. Wen San'er was about to walk away, only to see several people wearing white hoops on their arms shouting. They were all holding a large bundle of small Japanese plaster flags in their arms, and they were distributing them to the people watching the excitement one by one, and they were still shouting: "Shout, shout long live the Great Japanese Imperial Army, welcome the Great Japanese Imperial Army into the city, everyone shouts together, whoever does not shout is against the Imperial Army, and the gendarmerie is waiting, shouting......"

A middle-aged man in the crowd scolded in a low voice: "These grandsons are from the 'Public Security Maintenance Association', and as soon as the devil enters the city, he spreads his mouth open, lest others know that he is a traitor, × fuck, and he will not leave a way back for himself, and he will do this thing of digging his own ancestral grave." ”

Wen San'er didn't dodge for a while, and was also stuffed with a small flag, he shook the small flag towards the ranks of the Japanese army, and shouted the wrong one with one mouth: "The Great Imperial Army ...... Japan" Before his voice fell, he was slapped in the mouth, and a guy with a fierce face and a white hoop wearing a "public order maintenance meeting" on his arm grabbed Wen San'er's collar and scolded: "Grandson, what are you shouting?" What's wrong with arguing with the Imperial Army? I can't help you talk, the gendarmerie tiger bench is empty. ”

Wen San'er hurriedly bowed to the man and apologized: "Brother, brother, you are angry, I have a shallow knowledge of pulling a cart, if there is anything wrong, you can discipline it." ”

The man scolded and walked away, and Wen San'er whispered to his back: "× your mother, this is going to be put on hold, what the hell are you?" A dog wagging its tail ...... "Wen San'er felt quite wronged, he really didn't mean to shout wrong, and he didn't want to use the imperial army to fight cymbals[2]

Meaning, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really doesn't understand the difference between "Great Imperial Army Japan" and "Great Japanese Imperial Army".

Wen San'er pulled the car and walked to Fruit Lane, and was looking at the owner of the hired car all over the street, but met the flower cat head-on. He didn't expect Hua Mao'er to actually wear the white hoop of the "Public Security Maintenance Association", which scared Wen San'er a lot, he watched Hua Mao'er's lips move a few times, but he didn't speak.

Hua Mao'er looked very excited when he saw Wen San'er, he patted Wen San'er's shoulder affectionately, pretended to give a mysterious thumbs up and said: "Okay, Wen San'er, it's really a leopard, you kid is sharp enough to make a fortune, right?" ”

Wen San'er didn't understand: "Brother, what are you talking about?" ”

"Wen San'er, I'm really sorry, I drank too much that day, and when I woke up, it was dawn. I thought that if you couldn't wait, I would go back by myself, but I didn't think that the next day the whole city shouted, saying that the Kasahara Trading Company even had eight men and women slaughtered, good guy, scared me into a cold sweat. Wen San'er, brother, I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, admire, admire......"

Wen San'er jumped up as soon as he heard this: "Brother, you can't talk nonsense about this, how can I have that guts?" I ...... that day."

"Shh......h Be quiet, Wen San'er, I know you are good, don't worry, God knows this, you know me, where do you say, brother, you did a good job, the real anti-Japanese hero, Sato beat our buddies, how can it be just like that? Grandma, if you have revenge, you have to take revenge, this is a man. Brother, I won't tell you, as soon as I heard about this, I regretted it in my heart, you said...... If you don't get drunk sooner or later, you just got drunk that day, this wealth should be made by you, who let me not go? But I'm just as good, I don't blush when I see others getting rich, they're all brothers, and I'm happy to see whoever makes them. Wen San'er, it's time for you to have a treat next time you drink, yes, I have to go, you can see it, I'm on an errand in the maintenance club, fooling the devil, and there will be a place for my brother in the future, even if you speak, we'll see you later! ”

The flower cat is gone, and Wen San'er is still standing there, still in a daze, and he can't wake up for a long time. This kid actually did something for the Japanese, and Wen San'er had better rot in his stomach for his murder and robbery, you can't fight this kind of person at any time.
