There were six or seven big men who rushed to the gate of the city hall compound from the outside, and they were all members of the special service team of the Japanese army's Wencheng secret service, and it was their captain Meng Longsheng who ran at the back.

In the celebration of the establishment of the maintenance association, Masao Kojima took into account many factors, but did not consider the issue of vigilance - in the eyes of the head of the Japanese secret service, Bunjo is really a city composed of "Shunmin", and since the Otsuka Coalition entered and occupied the city without blood, there has never been an open anti-Japanese incident; As for Yang Yaokang's appearance in Zhang Luo's maintenance meeting, so far there has been no resistance or opposition from the public. Therefore, Masao Kojima only asked the chairman to hold today's celebration in a grand and enthusiastic manner, and did not bother to send a single soldier to guard the scene.

Meng Longsheng and his men appeared near the city hall purely by chance. After taking office as the captain of the special team, Meng Longsheng had more frequent contact with Yang Yaokang, which was mainly due to Meng Longsheng: before this, a scoundrel like him rarely had the opportunity to deal with a rich man like the president of the Chamber of Commerce. However, as soon as he became the captain of the Shina special service of the Japanese army's secret service, his identity changed dramatically, and he was enough to walk in front of the other party with confidence. What's more, Yang Yaokang served as the president of the city's security maintenance association as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, just like him Meng Longsheng, they all worked for the Japanese, and they were also colleagues. Therefore, recently, Captain Meng has been to Chairman Yang's office several times to harass him, and he has also pushed the cup and changed the lamp in Baoyuan Restaurant.

Today, the maintenance meeting also set up a five-table celebration table at noon in Baoyuan Restaurant, one of which was reserved for the special team. Meng Longsheng brought eight or nine of his subordinates out early in Xingxingtoutou, and he was ready to feast at Baoyuan Restaurant. It was precisely because he came out early that he did not take people straight to the restaurant, but walked around the street three times and twice until he turned to the area of the city hall.

Seeing that the compound of the city hall was full of people, Meng Longsheng was too lazy to join in the fun, there were quite a few time-honored shops nearby, and the special agent captain simply walked in one by one to fight the autumn breeze; One of his spies, on the other hand, crowded into the courtyard of the town hall with great curiosity, wanting to see the celebration with his own eyes. Unexpectedly, not long after the spy squeezed close to the rostrum, the gunshots rang out.

The gunman, Zhao Mutou, aimed at the row of maintenance traitors on the steps and fired in bursts until he had exhausted all twenty rounds of ammunition in Mauser*. This gave Meng Longsheng's spy time to discover him, and the spy was at first as frightened as the others, and he had a Mauser* pinned to his waist what they called "Zilaide" (except that unlike Zhao Mutou's German goods, it was a copy of the Chinese Arsenal), but he did not immediately draw his gun to deal with it. It wasn't until the frightened crowd began to flee in all directions, and the not short looking gunman fled in the direction of the gate in the crowd, that the agent became emboldened, shouting hoarsely and firing into the air.

At the moment when the gun rang out, Meng Longsheng was in a jade shop, trying to buy a good pendant at a symbolic price - Yulian, the prostitute he valued most in Yihong Mansion, liked jade jewelry very much, and kept pestering him to buy and give it away - the jade shop owner was crying and mourning, and he was afraid of offending this local snake with a gun. Suddenly, the piercing sound of gunfire came into the store, Meng Longsheng was startled, and hurriedly asked the subordinates who were close to the door of the store:

"Where's the gun?!"

One of the agents had already followed the sound of gunfire and looked out the door: the shop was diagonally across the street from the town hall, only a few dozen feet away, and the riots in the compound could already be clearly seen.

"It's the town hall! Captain, something's wrong!! ”

The agent at the door shouted, and his legs and stomach began to tremble involuntarily; Meng Longsheng asked questions and strode over early, he saw the flow of crying and howling people pouring out of the courtyard gate of the city hall in panic, and immediately pulled out his shell gun, shouted "follow me" and rushed out.

Before the seven or eight of them ran to the gate of the city hall compound, two more shots rang out in the courtyard, and Meng Longsheng suddenly slowed down: he didn't know that these two shots were actually fired by his own men, and he couldn't figure out the reality in front of him for a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart.

"You guys, give it to me!" With an idea, the special agent captain turned his head and gave an order to his subordinates: "Close the gate of the compound for me!" At this point, he could at least conclude that the gunfire was coming from the courtyard of the town hall, so he decided to close the gate first.

As a result, Li Yan, a male lieutenant of the military commander, and another gunman, just as they were about to squeeze to the gate, encountered this group of armed spies blocking them head-on.

Most of the six or seven spies were brandishing shell guns, and they roared and cursed, blocking the crowd and ordering the fleeing people to stop, and two of them began to push the open iron fence door inward.

At this moment, Li Yan and the others were still in the courtyard, only a few steps away from the gate of the compound, and the male lieutenant of the military commander wanted to take advantage of the chaos from behind to push the flow of people to continue to rush out and break down the defense line of those traitor spies, but suddenly another spy fired several shots into the sky, and the people in front were shocked by the gunfire and stopped in unison.

The soldier of the 391st Regiment Special Service Company, who was responsible for answering the gunman outside the gate of the compound, had just witnessed his company commander passing by and running out of the gate, and just as he continued to wait for another gunman and Li Yan, an agent of the military command, to get out, this group of traitor agents suddenly arrived unexpectedly; Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers of the spy company knew that they had to take action! He quickly looked around and found that except for the traitor spies blocking the gate, there were no other Japanese puppet troops coming, so he turned around and ran away towards the established retreat route. After running twenty or so steps, he made a sharp stop and turned around, felt his Mauser*, half-knelt down, held the barrel of the gun with both hands as if he were holding a spear, aimed at one of the spies, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

This soldier, whose marksmanship was on par with that of his own spy company commander, accurately hit the back of the target's chest, and the spy who was shot raised his hands and immediately fell to the ground. The other agents were so frightened by the cold shot that suddenly came from behind that they turned back in panic to find the shooter. At this moment, Li Yan and the others, who had already understood that it was their own people who were answering outside, shouted: "Everyone run!" The flow of people who had just stopped suddenly screamed again and started forward.

This time, in the face of the torrent of hundreds of people, several spies completely lost control of the situation, allowing people to pour out of the gate and run up the wide streets in a steady stream.

Li Yan felt a burst of fear while running, he was forced to be sealed in the courtyard gate by the traitor spies just now, he was already a little desperate, he and another gunman carried weapons with them, once they were blocked in the courtyard to be searched, there was no possibility of confusing the past. He began to admire the meticulous planning of the female major of the military commander, if it weren't for Wang Suihua laying a chess piece outside the gate, I was afraid that I would be in the mud today!

Running into the alley with the other gunman, the lieutenant saw the familiar Chevrolet at a glance, and his heart warmed up, and at this moment, there was nothing more exciting for him than the sight of the car (and, of course, the beautiful female boss in the car). He immediately accelerated and ran to the door of the car.

Wang Suihua rolled up the driver's window and waited, the Chevrolet's engine kept idling, looking at Li Yan's happy face, she calmly asked, "You two, are you exposed?" ”

"Nope!"

Li Yan replied breathlessly, and while he and another gunman took out their respective Mauser pistols and handed them to their female boss through the car window; He noticed that in the back seat of the car, the soldier of the special service company who was in charge of covering the reception at the gate of the town hall was hurriedly changing his coat, and it was obvious that he had fired the shot just now.

"Come in and change your clothes, Company Commander Zhao is inside."

The female major of the military commander pointed to the courtyard gate that was hidden behind them, and ordered—it was an empty house that had been reconnoitred in advance—and seeing Li Yan and the others disappear into the courtyard gate, Wang Suihua stepped on the accelerator, and the Chevrolet's tires creaked sharply, and rushed towards the mouth of the alley.

At this point, the attack carried out by the Second Intelligence Group of the Shanxi Station of the Military Command has been almost completely completed, and the remaining thing is to safely retreat to No. 1 Yangliu Lane. Wang Suihua's car was carrying a soldier of the special service company and all the firearms, and she was not worried about being intercepted: with the Chevrolet sedan, with the five-color flag planted in the front of the car, and with the identity letter of the "Provisional Government of the Republic of China", even if Japanese soldiers and traitor spies stopped her car, there would be no substantive action. And Zhao Mutou, Li Yan and the other three, when they appeared on the street later, had already changed the clothes and hats they wore when they were in the city hall, and they were empty-handed, not afraid of searching.

Meng Longsheng watched one of his subordinates get shot in the chest and die in the street, and his heart was pounding with fear. The moment the gun rang out, he didn't have time to identify the shooter, and then the crowd in the courtyard of the town hall was so strong that the Secret Service Captain didn't even see the back of the shooter.

In less than five minutes, the people in the town hall compound were almost gone, and the rest were all relatives and friends who maintained the leader of the meeting, who gathered on the steps in front of the town hall building, where there were now even more corpses strewn and in disarray.

Meng Longsheng's face was covered with cold sweat, and the hand holding the shell gun trembled nervously. If the female anti-Japanese element he killed with his own hands a few days ago was still single-handed, then the killing that happened under his nose today was definitely more than one person involved - it's so fucking scary! Wencheng, which has always been calm, where did so many anti-Japanese elements emerge all at once?!

He first examined the wound of the killer's man, and the bullet hit him in the back of the heart; Later, when he entered the steps of the city hall building and looked at the people who had been shot there, he felt a thrill in his heart: six people had been shot, four of whom had been killed, including the chairman of the maintenance committee, Yang Yaokang, whose face door was opened by bullets.

At this time, the Secret Service Captain found many familiar faces in the courtyard, and he realized that it was the subordinates of the Captain of the Island Agency who had arrived! The small building of the Bunjo secret service is just behind the city hall building, and the head of the small island agency personally controls a short-gun plainclothes team, all of which are Japanese soldiers who do not wear military uniforms. Many members of the plainclothes team have served as instructors in their own special forces.

Busy plainclothes people with grim, angry and frustrated expressions written on their faces. Meng Longsheng thought to himself: The anti-Japanese elements are only afraid that they will cause a lot of trouble, and they dare to break ground under the noses of the Japanese secret services! The island captain won't give up!
