Chapter 248: Out of Danger
Wang Suihua, a female major of the military commander, drove the Chevrolet and returned to No. 1 Yangliu Lane in the north of the city unimpeded. The return journey went smoothly, even surprised Wang Suihua herself.
Driving out of the alley where the city hall was located, she chose the direction to the east, passing by the brigade headquarters of the original Wafeng Bank in the east of the city and the current Hagiwara Brigade, and found that there had been an abnormal movement there, and the sentry at the entrance of the building was continuing to increase, and it was obvious that the brigade headquarters had just received the news of the attack on the city hall. When I continued to walk past the Catholic Church, on the street of Baoyuan Restaurant, many citizens stopped to listen and discuss, and they should have heard the gunshots in the direction of the city hall.
Even when she turned to the north of the city, Wang Suihua was hesitant to pass by the gate of the Otsuka United team headquarters, and she feared that martial law might be imposed in that area. However, it turned out that the female major of the military commander was too worried, and saw from a distance that there were still people and cars in that area going normally, so Wang Suihua stepped on the accelerator and ran over, she and the spy in the back seat of the Chevrolet even saw the soldiers, and the front of the Otsuka United Team Headquarters was also very nervous, but it was only to strengthen their own protection, and the Japanese soldiers did not take any measures against the streets and pedestrians.
When Chevrolet was steadily parked outside the courtyard wall of No. 1 Yangliu Lane, Wang Suihua even began to regret it: she was worried that the goal of the five people gathered in one place was too big, so she implemented the plan of retreating separately; I knew that the market was so calm, so it was better to directly bring Li Yan and Zhao Mutou back together!
Radio station elder Liu has been preparing lunch and waiting nervously since Wang Suihua and the others went out this morning. He didn't hear the gunshots in the city hall too clearly, and when he saw the team leader come back with a brother from the Central Army Special Service Company, he let go of most of his hanging heart. Wang Suihua briefly explained the situation, and asked him to go to the mouth of the alley to pretend to walk and observe the movements nearby.
After more than an hour, Zhao Mutou and his men, as well as Li Yan, returned one after another. At that time, Lao Liu, who was calm on the surface, was already anxious.
It turned out that Zhao Mutou, Li Yan and the other three were on the way back from the direction of the west of the city towards Yangliu Lane, and they had already discovered that the Japanese cavalry had begun to gallop back and forth on the streets. Later, they also witnessed a number of large trucks carrying Japanese soldiers placing sentry posts at the intersection of the main street, and although the guards had not yet carried out an interrogation of passers-by, this was undoubtedly a precursor to the imminent search and arrest.
After several detours, Li Yan finally returned safely with the officers and men of the two spy companies. The lunch in No. 1 Courtyard of Yangliu Lane began.
The director of the radio station is a native of Zhejiang, and he cooks a good hand of Hangzhou Gang dishes, and from the second intelligence group of Dashan Shanxi Station to Yangliu Lane, he basically began to cook his own meals, and the choice of chef naturally fell on the director of the radio station who was relatively idle. Although the purchased ingredients are not complete today, Lao Liu also reluctantly made a few Hangzhou Gang specialties such as West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo meat and old duck pot, Wang Suihua also ordered him to go to the market in advance to buy a bottle of good Fen wine, she came out of Taiyuan with a box of foreign wine, but I am afraid that the people of the spy company will not be used to drinking it.
Before the celebration banquet began, Wang Suihua went around the alley in person and found that there was nothing abnormal, so she turned around and came back and tightened the latch of the courtyard gate.
Everyone was excited.
Zhao Mutou, the gunman in charge of shooting, swore that his shuttle bullet swept over, and saw the traitors on the front steps of the city hall building, blood splattered and fell in response; According to his hurried visual inspection, at least five or more people were shot, among which Yang Yaokang, the chairman of the traitor maintenance committee, should have been hit in the head.
Wang Suihua smiled and listened to the excited and proud narration of the commander of the Central Army's special service company, thinking that she was not wrong, this kid really has good marksmanship. Another shooter, a soldier of the special service company who was responsible for answering at the gate of the city hall compound, told the whole process of a group of traitor spies suddenly killing the scene, and his decisive shooting to cover his comrades was also praised by the female major of the military commander.
Li Yan focused on the situation of the traitor agent with a gun in the courtyard of the city hall, and he analyzed that the guy may not have been very far from Zhao Mutou at that time, so after the gunshot, he could see the other party's dress clearly; However, both gunners of the military command were fully prepared in advance, not only wearing cotton hats that could cover their cheeks, but also pulling up the scarves around their necks when they moved, leaving only eyes on their faces, and the possibility of their faces being exposed was very small.
"You still don't want to go out these days," Wang Suihua said to Zhao Mutou: "You are too tall, I'm afraid this will leave an impression on the witness traitor." The Japanese may be ruthless in searching for tall and thin killers, so don't fall into the net. ”
At the end of the summing-up, Wang Suihua said that in the past two days, she will use various channels to find out the results of today's attack, and after basically verifying and ascertaining the results of the attack, she will call Shanxi Station to report. Then, the female major of the military commander took the lead in raising the wine cup and congratulated her subordinates and the brothers of the special service company of the 391st regiment, hoping that everyone could continue to work hard.
This celebration banquet, according to Li Yan's intention, was to let go of the drink, but Wang Suihua insisted that it should be stopped in moderation, and the important reason was to deal with the upcoming enemy's raid at any time. This inevitably made the people in the spy company, including Zhao Mutou, a little unhappy, but the female major of the military commander still insisted ruthlessly.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Japanese army's large-scale manhunt did not come soon as scheduled, and the No. 1 courtyard of Yangliu Lane, which had been waiting all night, did not hear the sound of knocking on the courtyard door until the next morning.
When Lao Liu opened the courtyard door, he found three Chinese standing outside, as well as two Japanese soldiers with loaded guns. Those three Chinese were the helpers found by the Wencheng Security Maintenance Association, responsible for leading Japanese soldiers to search and check door to door in this residential area. The group of them entered the courtyard without saying anything, and Wang Suihua and Li Yan, who were in the house, immediately walked out.
Seeing that there were only two Japanese soldiers, Wang Suihua's heart couldn't help but be stunned, in her imagination, if the Japanese army searched over, then the number would be very expensive - the previous encounter of the second intelligence team in the Linfen Hotel was enough to learn from - but she never expected it to be like this.
While the two guys with Type 38 rifles were still looking around at the north and south rows of houses in the courtyard, Wang Suihua quickly took out his two paper talismans. One of the letters was from the Ministry of Industry of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of China", bearing the seal of Wang Yintai, the head of the Ministry of Industry, indicating the nature of Fuhua Trading Company, its business projects, and the identity of Wang Suihua's manager; The other is a pass personally issued by Seii Iichi, head of the special service of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping, and is available in both Chinese and Japanese.
The three people who maintained the association were first shocked by Wang Suihua and Li Yan's good clothes, and then they got the letter and certificate from this noble woman, knowing that the other party was not an ordinary person, and hurriedly handed it over to the two Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers were disdainful of the Provisional Government and the Ministry of Industry (I'm afraid they couldn't understand it), but when they saw the pass issued by the Beiping secret service agency Da Zuo, they were quite in awe, and the two muttered a few words of Japanese to each other, and Wang Suihua heard that they were evaluating their own identity. Immediately, the Japanese soldiers respectfully handed over the letters and documents, and one of them even saluted Wang Suihua.
"We are husband and wife, this company is run by the two of us together, we have a big deal in Beiping and Taiyuan, and we came to your Wencheng to open a semicolon." The triumphant Li Yan suddenly pointed to Wang Suihua beside him and said to the three Chinese who maintained the association, and the latter immediately nodded and complimented a few words: they saw that the imperial army was saluting this beautiful lady, and of course they did not dare to slack off.
Wang Suihua smiled charmingly at Li Yan, and also grabbed one of Li Yan's arms.
After saluting, the Japanese soldiers did not even do any further questioning and searching, they turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate, and the people who maintained the meeting followed quickly, but they still did not forget to frequently turn back to greet Li Yan and Wang Suihua to say goodbye.
It wasn't until the director of the radio station closed the door again and bolted it tightly that Wang Suihua took his bare hand away from Li Yan's arm; Li Yan looked at the other party's face with a weak heart, but saw that the female boss's expression was unusually calm at the moment.
Zhao Mutou ran out excitedly to see what kind of magic weapon Wang Suihua was showing, and he actually scared off the Japanese soldiers who came to the door in one fell swoop. Li Yan certainly knew that the two talismans in the hands of his female boss were obtained for them by the military commander North China who entrusted Beiping to stand on the inside line of the Japanese puppet; However, the commander of the special service company of the Central Army was very surprised, and when he led people to arrest the female major of the military commander by mistake, he only saw her letter from the "Provisional Government of the Republic of China", and the pass issued by the head of the Beiping secret service of the Japanese army was handed over to Wang Suihua when the head of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command came to Wencheng from Taiyuan through Fang Moshu, a member of the second intelligence group, so Zhao Mutou had never seen it.
After satisfying the huge curiosity of the young spy company commander, Wang Suihua carefully put away the letter and pass, and then summoned all the members to his room again and held a small meeting temporarily. At this time, the female major of the military commander had quickly made a new judgment: the Japanese troops guarding Wencheng should be insufficient and unable to launch an emergency search for the whole city like in Linfen. She decided that she and Li Yan would go out to the streets immediately later, trying to find out the rumors and the effects of the attack, while Lao Liu and the people of the spy company continued to lie dormant in the house. Later today, I will prepare to send a report to Shanxi Station.
The four of Lao Liu and Zhao Mutou, who were relieved, happily returned to their respective houses first, and Wang Suihua deliberately left Li Yan.
"Close the door," Wang Suihua instructed with a smile, "Let's study where to start to find out more information." ”
Li Yan closed the door tightly with joy, he was obviously also encouraged by the team leader's judgment just now, and he looked happy. It wasn't until the beautiful female boss suddenly reached out and grabbed one of his arms again that the male lieutenant suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"What did you say to the traitor who maintained the club in the courtyard just now? Are the two of us husband and wife? ”
The female major of the military commander looked directly at her subordinates with a pair of wonderful eyes, and Li Yan saw that the smile on her face was still there, but her arm was clearly already painful to the bone.
