XXXVI. Shocking Crisis (II)
-- Bullet holes in the walls, blood stains on the floor that had not yet solidified, twisted corpses lying outside the door, captives and survivors in their spirits, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air...... Obviously, during the time when Wang Qiu left, a fierce shootout had just broken out in Jinchina's mansion, and it was not surprising that the traverser's side won a big victory.
After all, the plainclothes agents of the Blue Coat Society who came to arrest people were only equipped with a few pistols at best, and some of them simply carried daggers.
However, the Jin apartment building is equipped with pistols, grenades, stun grenades, automatic rifles, light machine guns, mortars and rocket launchers, 20 to 30 permanent fighters from various countries, Romanian vampires are responsible for night patrols, and Chinese and Russian political commissars are responsible for exorcism...... It can be described as an impregnable den of red bandits.
A small team of plainclothes agents of the Blue Coat Society, who didn't even have a body armor, broke in so recklessly, it was no different from seeking death.
But the problem is that even if this small force is completely annihilated, it will not be able to change the fact that Jin Qina has been targeted by the Kuomintang secret services.
ββ¦β¦ We really can't help it, Comrade Wang. β
Faced with Wang Qiu's questioning, Professor Yang spread his hands helplessly, "...... As soon as these guys entered the door, they shouted, 'The Blue Coat Club does things, and the idlers avoid it'! Then in front of the photo, I was going to arrest Sister Jin...... In this situation, what other countermeasures can be taken than to kill them as soon as possible? Can we still let Sister Jin go to prison obediently, and then find a way to organize a rescue?
Not to mention that there are so many unsightly things in this house, in case the wormhole is found or floats away. We're all screwed! β
- Generally speaking, wormholes cannot be too far away from the initiator. And the office of the Blue Coat Society in Shanghai...... To be honest, it's a bit far.
Moreover, according to the practice of Kuomintang agents in this era to arrest red elements and patriotic democrats. After the spies catch the prisoners, they rarely stay in the downtown area for too long, and are usually either escorted to the Songhu Longhua Garrison Headquarters or transported to the Suzhou Prison...... That's even farther away.
Not to mention, if Sister Jin had just been arrested, she would have been hacked -- with the quality of a Kuomintang spy, this possibility was not for nothing -- and the wormhole would have collapsed. The entire Chengguan Dogtooth International Column will jump into the river in frustration: a golden road flowing with coins is about to be broken!
Therefore, the traversers have to guarantee China's absolute safety no matter what, and kill a Kuomintang spy at all - not to mention a spy whose father doesn't love his mother. Even the revolutionary ancestors of our party dared to use their brains against Jin Qina, and the traversers who were stabbed into the lung tubes were also killed!
As a result, the four spies who burst into the door with a sly smile and pounced on Jinchina, were immediately taken out from under her skirt by Sonia Commissar. "Suddenly" swept into a bloody sieve. And the other two guys who were waiting outside the door were also sniped by the window on the second floor in the next moment...... After a short but fierce battle, as well as the flash and roar of several shock bombs, the twelve agents of the Blue Coat Society who rushed to kidnap people and make a fortune were either killed or captured for a while, and even the three cars they parked outside the gate of the golden mansion became the trophies of the traversers.
ββ¦β¦ I know that in the face of this kind of Kuomintang spies who have never been disciplined. The most effective way to do this is to use bullets to speak. β
Wang Qiu groaned and pressed his browning forehead - he knew that most traversers had a habit of fighting bravely. Even women are quite cruel, and men are more likely to be good men than they speak...... Even if you want to make them temporarily soft in front of the spies, it is impossible. What's more, due to the constraints of actual conditions, they really can't let Jinchina be captured by the spies no matter what...... So there's nothing wrong with shooting and arresting," ...... But the question is...... It's such a big deal, how should it end next? How are we going to get on the beach? β
ββ¦β¦ We've got it this far, do we still want to continue messing around in Shanghai! β
Senior Sister Ma Tong rolled her eyes and lamented - she had just shot two people in the head with a pistol at close range, and even her brains splashed on her face, so that she couldn't help but feel a little nauseous, "...... Either retreat quickly, or simply make a big fuss! Wang Qiu, now that you are the leader, it's up to you to make the decision, what should you do next? β
"Let me decide?" Wang Qiu's eyes widened in disbelief, "...... The senior employees didn't speak, so what did one of my interns say? β
ββ¦β¦ Ahem. Professor Yang coughed dryly, "...... As a political commissar, I should listen to the opinions of the commander-in-chief in military decision-making. β
And Sonia rolled her eyes and raised her chin proudly: "...... We're still using official dogs, and we don't even count people......"
ββThe intern captain Wang Qiu was immediately overwhelmed...... What a mess of personnel establishment and authority planning this is!
At the same time, Jin Qina, Jin Xingzhen, mother and daughter, who were the protagonists, knelt down in front of a familiar corpse, crying silently.
ββIn this shootout, the only deceased who died in the city management was Zhang Ma, a maid of the Jin family, who went to open the door. At the same moment when the "sudden" gunshots rang out indoors, she collapsed on the ground and was knocked over by a panicked Kuomintang spy at the door, so no one could save her.
Prior to this, Zhang's mother had been serving the Jin family for almost three years, and even in the most difficult time for the Jin family, she never asked to leave, so the relationship between the master and the servant was quite deep. Now seeing that she has just lived a good life, Zhang's mother was killed, which really made Jin's mother and daughter sad.
The only casualty on the Chengguan side was Major Lin Shenhe, a professional traveler of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army who came to Shanghai for recreation and vacation in the Republic of China era -- this thing went to the Paramount Ballroom last night to soak in the girls and drank a lot of foreign wine, so he slept lazily today and did not participate in the battle from beginning to end. Unexpectedly, when he was lying down and sleeping in his bedroom, he was grazed by a stray bullet that flew from nowhere...... At this time, he was wearing a bandage around his head, and he was angrily wielding a long whip with thorns. beat the captured agents of the Blue Coat Society to wail again and again......
For this ghost crying wolf howling men's S&M show, the distraught Wang Qiu naturally has no interest - strictly speaking, although he can occasionally behave ruthlessly. But for the most part, he is not a ruthless man who is decisive and resolute, so he is very hesitant at the moment.
ββ¦β¦ In short, no matter what happens next, at least one thing is certain, this place is no longer safe, and we must move quickly! β
After much hesitation. Wang Qiu finally made a more conservative decision, "...... The captives of the Blue Coat Society were all shot on the spot. Then teleport the corpse to the other side of the wormhole to dispose of it, just in case. Everything in the house that will reveal our identities will also be found for me, and quickly clean up. And also. Zhang's mother's corpse. Let's also bring it back to the modern Shijie to be cremated, although it is very difficult to get a legal hukou in modern China, it is still relatively easy to get a grave in the cemetery......"
He said to Jinchina, who was crying red-eyed, "...... I can finally let her live in peace after death. β
ββ¦β¦ Well, I have one more question. Comrade Wang. Sonia held up a hand, "...... Where should we retreat? β
ββ¦β¦ Of course, it's Pastor Hu's church -- in such a situation, it is natural that you should find a professional underground party to help you find a way......"
Wang Qiu replied casually, and at the same time pulled out the silencer pistol. Solved the agents of the Blue Coat Society who were not dead one by one," ...... We're in big trouble this time! β
ββββββββββ
The southern suburbs of Shanghai. Tangwan Town, the chapel of the "Red Pastor" Hu Dexing, General Political Commissar
Sunlight shines softly, hazy and dark through the narrow floor-to-ceiling windows adorned with stained glass mosaics on the altar of the church. The melodious and ethereal sound of chants reverberates under the dome depicting the Virgin Mary.
ββ¦β¦ Praise the great Lord, and nothing is more important to mankind than receiving the gospel. If you don't accept the gospel, there will be no absolute standard of right and wrong for people, and you will only be selfish, unable to overcome sin, and there will be no hope of heaven, and the suffering of this shijie will not be reduced. Whatever our profession, we are to bear witness to the gospel of the kingdom of God, offer prayer, and save souls. Amen!
β¦β¦ Praise the great Lord, and take off your beautiful robes and crowns, and you have come naked, and at first you are humble and unknown, and you have endured all temptations and humiliations, and tasted all the sorrows of the world, in order to redeem fallen mankind; Stripes give me healing, and punishment gives me peace. How affectionate, infinitely merciful, in awe and shock, oh, let me touch your heart more deeply for your love. Amen! β
Accompanied by the echoing chants on the gramophone, Pastor Hu Dexing stood at the bottom of the statue of Jesus, solemnly completed his daily work as a pastor, and sent off a legitimate Christian who had come to worship in Zuihou with a pleasant face......
Then, he took a deep breath, pinned a red badge with a sickle and hammer to his chest, and then turned around and walked into a small living room in the back, where he held a discussion meeting with a dozen underground party members who had already gathered here to discuss the future and fate of the cause of the red revolution.
-- Unfortunately, it was a lost meeting, a sad meeting, and a frustrating meeting.
On the long table of the meeting, there were several newspapers of these days, which reported the victory of the central government army in Nanjing in encircling and suppressing the Jiangxi Soviet District.
ββ¦β¦ Following the 26th of last month, when our army penetrated deep into the bandit area and recovered Ningdu, on the 10th of this month, our loyal and fearless officers and men of the party-state won another great victory on the battlefield of encirclement and suppression in Jiangxi, and in one fell swoop attacked Ruijin, the capital of the 'puppet Chinese Soviet State......
Although the ferocious Red Bandits resisted desperately and repeatedly counterattacked, with bullets falling like rain and people surging, the officers and men of our army still responded calmly to the battle and continuously repelled the attacks of the Red Bandits. The enemy and our armies fought fiercely outside Ruijin City for two days and two nights, and the red bandits suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses were like mountains and blood all over the ditch, and finally they did not disperse.
After another great defeat of the Red Bandits, the morale of the King and Division of our Party was greatly boosted, and they enthusiastically asked for their lives, and General Chen Cheng organized elite troops to follow and pursue them with the momentum of thunder, so that the remnants of the Red Bandits were terrified all day long and could not rest in peace......
β¦β¦ Upon learning of the good news of Ruijin's recovery, Chairman Chiang made an important speech in the Nanchang camp, issuing an order to commend the meritorious soldiers and instructing the generals: Although most of the bandit areas have been recovered, there are still several cities such as Yudu and Huichang that have not yet been destroyed, and I hope that the officers and men of all armies must make persistent efforts to overcome their full achievements......
ββ¦β¦ In order to solve the problem of the redness of the minds of the people in the bandit areas, and to prevent the resurgence of the red bandits. The Biedong team of the Fuxing Society has announced its latest round of Gannan 'shovel communist' Jihua.
Mr. Kang Ze, the head of the Biedong team of the Fuxing Society, said that in line with Chairman Chiang's important instruction that 'the thatch should be overheated, the stone should be over-stabbed, and the people should be replaced', he would continue to implement the 'new Jiangxi model' in the bandit areas of southern Gansu. Organize the 'Zhuangding Team' and the 'Eradication Volunteer Team', set up 'people's checkpoints', and ensure that every village protects the armor and every household jointly protects the armor, so as to put an end to the living space of the red bandits in the countryside and completely exterminate the red bandits who rob homes and houses.
At the same time, incitement and propaganda against the Red Bandits. In addition to resolutely eradicating the stubborn bandits, the Biedong team must also work hard to educate the people who can still be saved, so that they understand that 'soldiers do not fight soldiers.' only fight bandits; The poor don't beat the poor, but only kill the vermilion'......"
ββ¦β¦ The land of bandits, all things are gone, and there is desolation; A place where all are burned. There are no trees that will be cut down. There are no chickens and dogs that are killed, there are no strong men left, there is no smoke in Lu Yan, and there are ghosts crying in the fields...... Six years of hard work, unfinished ......"
ββ¦β¦ Comrades, according to the current news of the Kuomintang radio station, the information circulating in various newspapers in Shanghai, and the party history materials sent by the 'future comrades'. At present, the central Soviet region of Jiangxi may have become a purgatory on earth. It's bloody everywhere......"
Pointing to a map of Jiangxi in the center of the table showing the latest developments of the Kuomintang and Communist armies, Hu Dexing announced with a sad expression:
ββ¦β¦ On 10 October, 86,000 men of the Central Red Army tore through the enemy blockade line to the west and embarked on an expedition. At the same time, Comrade Xiang Ying, secretary of the Central Sub-Bureau, commander and political commissar of the Central Military Region, was appointed as the left-behind supreme leader of the Central Soviet Region to lead the remaining Red Army in the struggle in Jiangxi.
On October 26, the White Army invaded Ningdu; On November 10, the White Army occupied the red capital of Ruijin; And the rest of Yu Du and Huichang are estimated to not last long, and they may have fallen by now -- after all, the remaining troops of Comrade Xiang Ying and Chen Yi are only enough to fight guerrillas.
Then, according to the historical records provided by the future comrades, more than 1,800 people were killed in Ruijin in Hongdu within 80 days, more than 3,800 households in Ningdu County, and more than 40,000 in western Fujian......
From 1934 to 1937, 800,000 family members of the Red Army were massacred in the entire Soviet zone! On average, one in four people is implicated. And the total population of the entire Central Soviet District is only four million! β
ββ¦β¦ 800,000! This is simply going to cut off the roots of the Soviet area...... Not to mention the blow to the confidence of the comrades. If it is calculated in this way, even if the Red Army fights back to Ruijin again in the future, the war resources of this land have been completely exhausted, and there will be no waves! β
An underground party member who used to be a guerrilla fighter sighed, "...... And we didn't have any liliang to stop this tragedy...... So our revolutionary cause in the South is finished? The future can only be counted on in northern Shaanxi? β
ββ¦β¦ That's right, if Chiang Kai-shek's hundreds of thousands of heavy troops were allowed to stay in the central Soviet area for a long time to carry out the law and order rectification operation, then no matter how powerful Comrade Xiang Ying and Comrade Chen Yi who remained in the Soviet area, would have no way to reverse the situation of defeat in such a situation where the enemy and us were disparity. β
Hu Dexing said with a complicated expression, "...... Unless the Red Army in other base areas and the underground party in the White Zone can come up with a way to make a bigger noise elsewhere and divert the attention of Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary clique, they will be able to effectively help the comrades who remain in the Central Soviet Zone......"
However, as soon as Pastor Hu's words came to an abrupt end without warning, like a stuck machine......
Because, through the window, he was stunned to see that three cars were rushing into the church gate, and then, with a piercing braking, stopped on the concrete floor in the front yard -- those three cars were still stamped with the Kuomintang emblem of the blue sky and white sun!
β¦β¦ My God! O Marx! Could it be that I'm exposed here?! β¦β¦ General Political Commissar Hu Dexing's head broke out in a cold sweat for a while.
And in the next moment, he saw with a very strange expression that the "future comrades" jumped out of the car......
Next, when Wang Qiu and Professor Yang explained what had happened with a gloomy face, General Political Commissar Hu Dexing's first reaction was not to brainstorm and discuss countermeasures, but immediately jumped up and ordered the comrades to destroy the documents as quickly as possible, pack their luggage, and prepare for evacuation!
ββ¦β¦ Belch...... General Political Commissar Hu, what's wrong with you? Why do you have to move all of a sudden? Wang Qiu was surprised by this.
ββ¦β¦ Why move? Of course, I'm running with you! Did you know that on the road you came from, there was a branch of the Blue Coat Society and several secret sentinels! It's a shame that you're still driving their cars here! Now I'm going to expose my stronghold! β
Hu Dexing scolded angrily, and then smiled helplessly, "...... Alas, forget it, fortunately in misfortune, we at least need not worry that the regular Kuomintang army will come in pursuit, because there are no Kuomintang troops in the whole of Shanghai, only a few spies and policemen armed with light weapons...... With your firepower, even if the police all over Shanghai are chasing after you, you should be able to eliminate them all......"
ββ¦β¦ There was no regular Kuomintang army in the entire Shanghai area? Wang Qiu asked, "...... What's going on? β
"After the end of the ...... '128 Incident', the Kuomintang and the Japanese signed the Songhu Armistice Treaty, which stipulated that Shanghai was a demilitarized zone, and China was not allowed to station troops from Shanghai to Suzhou and Kunshan, while Japan could station troops in Shanghai...... It's cheaper for us right now......"
Hu Dexing explained, "...... Also, you'd better change your car and dress up to avoid exposing your ...... on the way out."
After a few more hours, a military truck full of "Kuomintang soldiers" finally drove out of Pastor Hu's church and disappeared on the road to the south...... (To be continued......)
