Two sub-armed security division soldiers hurriedly ran over and snapped upright, and one of them said loudly, "Report, a group of Japanese spies have been trapped in a compound on the fourth street of Ximenli." ”

When Zhao Hongliang heard this, he immediately asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”

The soldier said, "Counting the killings and arrests, there are thirteen to fifteen people in all." About eight people were also trapped inside the building. ”

When Zhao Hongliang heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Take us there!" ”

After that, under the leadership of the two soldiers, Zhao Hongliang, Wang Jia, and the soldiers behind them who were supporting the reserve team immediately rushed to the scene of the incident.

By the time they arrived, a group of agents, as well as two mobile teams, and Hua Zhang's men, had already surrounded a courtyard. The reason why only two mobile teams were dispatched was because the situation was unknown, and who knew if there were any other Japanese spies in the city. Left a team, you can also support at any time.

Zhao Hongliang observed the courtyard for a while, turned his head and said, "Battalion Commander Wang, pull up the machine guns and mortars, fire a few shots first, give the other party a warning, and blow up a few big holes in the houses inside." Collect firewood, rags, and other burning materials on the spot, and let the powerful brothers throw all the burning materials into the big hole that was blown out, and force the other person out. ”

Wang Jia smiled when he heard this: "Good way! As he spoke, he ordered two squads of soldiers and went to do it immediately. Since Wang Yang's team car could not be driven, the equipment was not damaged, so the mortar was quickly put into place.

Zhao Hongliang squatted next to the mortar, pointed to the building in front of him, and said, "The architectural pattern of the triple courtyard, on the wall of each room, or on the window, give them two shots first!" ”

The two soldiers in charge of operating the mortar nodded, took a closer look, and after adjusting it, reached out and put a shell on top of the barrel, and let go of their hands. "Boom!" , directly sent out.

Not long after, there was another loud bang, and the roof of the house in the courtyard, at the junction with the wall in front of it, exploded directly. However, in the end, the mortar was not so powerful, so it only blew up a large part of the tiles.

Zhao Hongliang is not in a hurry anyway, one shot will not work, two shots, anyway, there are a lot of shells, and the number is enough to blow up this building.

He was so happy that he was bombing this side, and he went down with four or five shells in a row, and in the interval of the shells, he suddenly heard someone in the building suddenly shouting, "Don't fire yet!" How about we talk? ”

When Zhao Hongliang heard this, he also shouted, "Within a minute, hand over your weapons and surrender!" Now the clock begins! ”

A few figures faintly flashed by the window in the opposite room, probably observing the situation outside. The voice from before shouted, "You'd better hear us, we have a hostage in our hands!" You know, when we came in, a couple and their parents were ......"

Just when he said that there was a hostage in his hand, Zhao Hongliang turned his head directly and said, "Keep firing, don't let him finish his words!" ”

The soldier who was operating the mortar let go of his hand when he heard this, and with a bang, opened fire again. directly interrupted the other party's speech. In this way, three shells went down in succession, and the roof of the house in the middle was connected to a wall, and it was directly blown up into a large gap.

Zhao Hongliang pressed his hand down, and the soldier immediately stopped. Then he shouted, "Hand over your weapons and surrender!" If you don't answer within ten seconds, we'll keep firing! ”

About seven or eight seconds later, the voice from before said, "Do you really not care about the lives of your fathers and fellow villagers? As a sign of sincerity, I can release the two old men first! ”

Zhao Hongliang roared: "I said it! Hand over your weapons and surrender! Otherwise we will continue to fire! Give you a minute to think about it! ”

The voice shouted again, "They're out, don't fire!" After saying a word, I saw that as soon as the wooden door opened, an old couple was pushed out! Then the door closed again.

The old lady turned around and knocked on the door with tears and screams, crying, "My son, you let mine go." The old man next to him was calmer than her, and although his face was sad and angry, he stretched out his hand to pull the old lady out, and shouted "You...... Let's go out first. Get up! Hurry up! ”

After all, it was a man, and his strength was much greater than that of a woman, and he grabbed the other party's arm and walked out of the yard with force. But after seven or eight steps, the woman in her fifties, probably really emotionally unbearable, squatted down hard, broke free from her husband's hand, and crawled towards the previous gate again.

Zhao Hongliang shouted: "It's a minute!" Tell us the answer in ten seconds! Otherwise, blow you up directly! ”

The voice before replied, "We've shown our sincerity, let's leave!" And you've already arrested a lot of us, so you'll be able to explain the past to your superiors......"

Zhao Hongliang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, turned his head and said, "Hit the roof!" Fire! As he spoke, he pointed to the room on the right side of the courtyard.

The soldier who operated the cannon also understood what he meant, and when the shell bloomed, it flew up at an oblique angle, so the shell fell on the roof, and it couldn't blow up the two old couples at all.

Then why don't you wait for the old man and the old lady to come out? Anyway, there's nothing to lose? That's because of Fan Keqin.

During the class, Fan Keqin repeatedly told them that there would be absolutely no negotiation with the Japanese spies, and there was only one way to make the other party surrender. Leave nothing else to worry about! Even if the other party has our Chinese hostages in their hands, don't care! Because you compromised once, the Japanese spy may still do this in the days to come! But if you ignore it, next time or a few times, the Japanese spies are not stupid, and they will naturally know that taking hostages will not help them at all, but will become a drag. In this way, more people will be saved.

As for the casualties at that time, there really is no way. You want to say that Fan Keqin is ruthless? That's right! He is indeed ruthless, but this ruthlessness is built on the basis that the Japanese spies will not dare to use the Chinese people as hostages anymore, in order to save more people.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the old woman seemed to react, knowing that if she continued like this, she would only lose her own life, and it would be impossible to save her son and daughter-in-law's family. Her husband also mustered up a lot of strength and pulled her out.

Wang Jia looked at the side and pointed with his hand, and said, "Go and ask that man, what's going on in the house?" How many people! His battalion deputy rushed up with people, pulled the two people aside, and began to interrogate.

When the woman saw the Chinese soldier, she cried and begged. It's still his husband, and he still maintains a certain calm. Explain the situation again.

After a while, the battalion deputy came back and reported, "Their exact words are that there are eight bandits in the house, all with pistols. In addition, I hope we can save his son's family, and there is a child in it, who is their grandson. ”

Hua Zhang said next to him at this time, "Eight people, as well as two Chinese people and a child. Team leader, I think your original plan is still viable! They just want us to be bogeyed, and they can't follow their wishes! ”

Zhao Hong nodded and said, "That's right!" We will never talk about any conditions with the Japanese, and this is something that the section chief has repeatedly emphasized to us. Then he ordered the two gunners again to continue bombarding the two houses on the left and right. For a moment, the explosion sounded again.

After a while, the walls of the two houses on the left and right were also blown down. After a while, the people of the two classes collected a lot of objects that started the fire and rushed back. And one of the soldiers went back to the camp outside and picked up a tin kettle for gasoline.

Zhao Hongliang ordered people to sit on a lot of torches, and asked people to play with cotton wool, rags, rags and the like, slightly poured gasoline on them, and put them in clay jars. When they were ready, they selected ten strong soldiers from the security division and divided them into two groups, five throwing torches and five throwing clay pots.

After the order was given, the ten soldiers standing at the head of the wall showed their heads one after another and threw their objects at the target that had been assigned to them. This family also looks like a big family, a triple courtyard, the yard is not small, but from the courtyard wall to the house inside, it is less than twenty meters, and everyone is still very accurate, after two rounds of throwing in a row, the fire of the three rooms burned at the same time.

Zhao Hongliang ordered people to continue making clay pots, and then kept throwing them inside. This time the fire was even bigger, and the smoke gradually rose.

His purpose was not to burn the other party, but to smoke. This time, when they came, they didn't bring gas bombs, which was a mistake. However, there are not many gas bombs in the national government now. Kamimine believes that instead of having time to make gas shells, it would be better to make more shells. Even when shipping arms from the United States, try not to use gas shells. Therefore, the stock is very small, and the country may only add a few hundred.

However, now the local method used by Zhao Hongliang is also very effective, and after the fire starts, he directly orders the two gunners to stop firing. Let the ten soldiers smash into it filled with cotton wool, rags, and crockpots drenched in gasoline.

When the smoke comes together, the effect is not much worse than that of gas bombs. Since no shots were fired, a loud coughing sound was heard from inside after a while.

About five minutes later, Wang Jia was a little breathless, and said, "Brother Hong Liang, this group of Japanese spies is indeed elite, trapped in it by more than 100 of our people, roasted and smoked by fireworks, and they haven't surrendered yet, I think it's better to attack, right?" ”

Zhao Hongliang smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. They must have been trained in this area, and although they didn't wear gas masks, they could find a few towels at random, or tear their clothes to make masks, and drizzle them with a little water to avoid inhaling most of the gases......"
