"Bang!"

After reading the telegram sent by the Tianjing gendarmerie, Lieutenant General Tada Jun of the North China Front Army Headquarters angrily kicked the table.

"Someone!"

"Your Excellency. A young man ran into the office.

"Immediately convey my order, from now on the Gaozhuang Prefecture Inoue Brigade, Inoue Sanosuke Shaozo all duties, and arrest in the name of disobeying the military order!"

"Hey, I'm going to get your orders across. ”

An hour later, in the county town of Gaozhuang, Inoue Shaosa was leisurely drinking a little wine in his headquarters, and the gramophone in the room was still playing the unique Japanese harmony, and he was in a good mood from time to time shaking his head and beating to the rhythm.

Today is the fourth day of the killing, and forty innocent people have been murdered, and the Eighth Route Army has not yet responded, but Inoue Shaozo believes that as long as he continues to kill like this, the Eighth Route Army operating in Gaozhuang County will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and appear, and when the time comes, whether it is surrendering or looking for him to fight hard, he can mobilize troops to wipe out all this special group of Eighth Routes.

"Bang!"

Several soldiers with rifles and bayonets broke into Inoue's room, and Inoue Shaosa dropped the wine glass in his hand and angrily rebuked: "What do you want to do? Who gave you the courage to enter my room with a weapon and want to rebel?"

"Your Excellency Inoue is such a powerful official. ”

Nanzao Yunzi, who was under house arrest, walked into the room, followed by three respectful squadron leaders.

Inoue Shaoza's face suddenly changed when he saw this posture, something big must have happened that he didn't know, otherwise Nanzao Yunzi would definitely not have walked out of the house arrest room, and his three squadron leaders would not follow her.

Nanzo Yunzi took out a telegram from the North China Front and said loudly: "Inoue Sanosuke Shaosa, from now on all posts and arrested for disobeying military orders and waiting for the arrival of the gendarmerie." Escorted to Peiping for trial, this is an order personally sent by Commander Tada!"

Inoue Shaosa snatched the telegram with an impossible expression, the content of the telegram was exactly the same as what Nanzo Yunzi said, and he collapsed to the ground at once, "Why? Why did Your Excellency the Commander remove me from my position?!"

Nanzo Yunzi looked at this reckless man who could only solve problems with violence with disdain and replied, "Four hours ago, an explosion occurred in an izakaya in the Japanese concession of Tianjing. Seventy-eight citizens and soldiers of the Imperial State in the izakaya were killed, and the criminals left a criminal statement at the scene, just to retaliate for your unwarranted killing of the Chinese people in Gaozhuang County, because your stupid actions cost the people of the empire dearly!"

Inoue Shaozo angrily stood up from the ground and shouted: "What does it matter if I kill more despicable Chinese, Commander Tada cannot remove my post and arrest me on such charges!"

The answer to the stubborn Inoue Shaosan Minami Unzao Yunzi was a heavy slap in the face, "A soldier who suffers a loss on the battlefield and takes advantage of civilians is not a soldier's behavior but a stupid coward, such a coward is not worthy of being a soldier of the Japanese Empire, this is what Commander Tada wants me to tell you." Take it away!"

The two soldiers stepped forward to drag the already sluggish Inoue Shaozo away, and Nanzao Yunzi turned to the three squadron leaders and ordered: "Send out an Anmin notice overnight, the details are needless to say too clearly, anyway, as long as the Chinese know that Inoue has been arrested, he will be tried, and the empire will compensate the people who were killed." ”

"Hey, I'll do as you tell me right away. ”

In the Tianjing-Japan Concession, the atmosphere in the room where Ouyang Yu was hiding was very dull. No one spoke between Ouyang Yu and the abducted Japanese family and the Chinese maid family, and this atmosphere made Ouyang Yu feel uncomfortable and bored. So in order to alleviate this atmosphere, she took the initiative to ask, "What is your name, this gentleman, and where do you work?"

Ouyang Yu asked the male head of the Japanese family, the Japanese man who seemed to be a university professor.

"My name is Fumio Watanabe, and I am a professor at the Japanese University of Chinese Chemistry, mainly teaching mechanical power courses. ”

"It turns out that Professor Watanabe was rude, can you introduce your family?"

"Yes. This is my wife, Chizuru, this is my son Yuta who is sixteen years old this year, and this is my daughter Chie who is only twelve years old this year. ”

After a pause, Fumio Watanabe continued to introduce: "This is Lao Liu's family, and this is Lao Liu." Liu Dali, this is Lao Liu's mother Zhao's mother, this is Lao Liu's wife Aunt Liu, these two are Lao Liu's son Liu Xiaogang and daughter-in-law Wen Xiuxiu. ”

Ouyang Yu nodded to everyone and then introduced himself to them, "My name is Ouyang Yu, and I am the commander of the second battalion of the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. ”

After hearing Ouyang Yu's self-introduction, Liu Xiaogang asked in surprise: "Ah, you are the Eighth Route Army?!"

Ouyang Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I'm afraid you all regard me as a Jiangyang thief who robbed the house, right?"

Liu Xiaogang smiled embarrassedly, he and the others thought so, and then Liu Xiaogang asked again: "Sir Ouyang, are you here to carry out a mission in the Japanese Concession?" After speaking, he realized that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this question." ”

"It doesn't matter if I tell you, I'm here to take revenge on the Japanese Concession of Tianjing. Ouyang Yu recounted what happened in Gaozhuang County in more detail.

After Ouyang Yu finished speaking, the living room fell silent again, Fumio Watanabe and his family looked embarrassed, and Liu Dali and Liu Xiaogang were very angry.

"Damn little devil, don't treat us Chinese as people, kill well!" Liu Xiaogang, who was straightforward, realized that it was not good after speaking, and immediately apologized to Professor Watanabe and his family, "I'm sorry Professor Watanabe, I'm talking about that Inoue Shaozo, you Japanese still have good people, you and your family are good Japanese." ”

Fumio Watanabe smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Xiaogang, you don't have to defend us Japanese, I know very well what it is like in Japan now, and the practices of some soldiers are more excessive than that Inoue Shaoza, such as Jinling...... , alas, damn war, if there was no war if it were good. Without the war, Xiaogang, your family should still be fishing in my hometown in the Northeast, my family and I should live quietly in Osaka, and Miss Ouyang may have found a good husband and taught her children at home, instead of being forced to go to the battlefield and fight with others. Fumio Watanabe sighed loudly after speaking.

"Bang bang bang...... Gendarmerie, open the door and check!"

There was a heavy knock on the door, startling everyone in the living room. Ouyang Yu looked out through the crack in the door, and a team of Japanese military police was in the courtyard outside the living room.

At this time, Fumio Watanabe said with a serious face: "Miss Ouyang, if you can trust me, please hand over the gendarmes to me to deal with, I will never betray you." ”

Fumio Watanabe's eyes were very sincere, and Ouyang Yu was willing to believe him, but after some things, her vigilance against others had increased greatly, and she wanted to add an insurance.

"Professor Watanabe, please ask your daughter Chie to come over. ”

Fumio Watanabe didn't know why, but he still let the little girl come over, and Chie Watanabe hid behind her father with some fear.

"Chie-chan came to my sister. My sister gives you candy to eat. ”

Ouyang Yu pulled Fumio Watanabe away and hugged Watanabe Chie in his arms, then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it in Watanabe Chie's hand, took out another grenade and shook it in front of everyone, and finally sat on the sofa in the living room with both hands around Watanabe Chie's small waist, and the grenade was hidden in the wide cuffs.

Fumio Watanabe sighed helplessly and came to the courtyard and opened the courtyard door, and the gendarmes outside the courtyard saw that it was the Japanese who had an arrogant attitude, and said more politely: "The order of the military police headquarters is to check everyone's documents." ”

"Please come in. ”

After the gendarmes entered Fumio Watanabe's house, some of them went into the back room to inspect it. Some of them were checking everyone's documents in the living room, but Ouyang Yu didn't. Therefore, Fumio Watanabe took the initiative to walk to the side of the leader of the military police squad and said: "She is my niece, and she just arrived in Tenkyo from Japan today and has not had time to apply for documents. ”

The captain of the military police squad looked at Ouyang Yu suspiciously, then at Fumio Watanabe, and finally at the others in the living room, Ouyang Yu was a little nervous, and Fumio Watanabe's face was natural. The others were also a little nervous, but the nervous expression of the gendarmerie squad leader had seen too much, and anyone who was touched by their gendarmerie had such expressions no matter what was going on.

"What's your name, where are you from in China?" asked the leader of the gendarmerie squad to Ouyang Yu.

Ouyang Yu replied unhurriedly in Japanese with an accent: "My name is Emiya Yusa and I am from Eifucho, Tokyo, and my family lives near Eifucho Station. ”

"Hmm. I know. After listening to this, the captain of the gendarmerie squad nodded casually, the focus of his search was on men, and asking Ouyang Yu was just a professional habit.

"As a result, no anomalies have been found. ”

"Let's go, it's rude. ”

After saluting Fumio Watanabe and Ouyang Yu, the leader of the military police squad quickly left with the soldiers, who still had two blocks to search, and the task was very heavy.

After the gendarmes walked away and the door of the courtyard was closed, all the people in the living room exhaled relaxedly, Liu Dali seemed to have a heart attack and sat on the chair with his chest covered, and his son Liu Xiaogang kept patting him on the back, as if it would be better.

Fumio Watanabe also sat on the sofa with a frightened face, just now he almost couldn't help but be exposed, but fortunately he held back, his wife poured him a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

Ouyang Yu was a little reluctant to let go of Watanabe Chie in her arms, the little girl was very comfortable to hold softly, she stood up and bowed to Watanabe Fumio and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

Fumio Watanabe smiled bitterly and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me, you should thank you for the grenade in your hand." ”

Ouyang Yu put away the grenade that was a little embarrassed, "Professor Watanabe, there is a saying in China, save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, and when it is dawn, please cover me to leave the Japanese concession." ”

"Do what you say, you have a gun and a grenade in your hand, for the safety of my family, I can only obey your orders, and I will definitely send you away when it is dawn." ”

"Thank you. ”

The night passed in chaos, and when it was dawn, Ouyang Yu took Watanabe Chie's little hand and left his house with Fumio Watanabe.

"Rickshaw!" Fumio Watanabe shouted to the driver crouching on the side of the road.

"Here, sir, where are you going?" asked the two cart drivers, who had come running over and asked earnestly.

"Take us to the ferry outside the concession. ”

"Sit down, a few of you. ”

Fumio Watanabe sat in a car, Ouyang Yu sat in a car around Watanabe Chie's small waist, and the two rickshaws ran quickly towards the exit of the concession under the traction of the coachman.

Sitting in the car, Ouyang Yu saw the truck loaded with the military police speeding by from time to time, the Japanese search was not over, and from time to time there were pedestrians on the road who were stopped by the military police for interrogation.

The coachman's journey was very fast, and after less than ten minutes, two rickshaws came to the exit of the concession, and a large number of Japanese military police were checking the documents of all the people who went out, and the Chinese and Japanese were all checked, and if there was any suspicion, they would be taken away by the military police, so a large number of people were stranded, and hundreds of people lined up to wait for the inspection to pass the customs.

"Yo, I'm really sorry that I can only send you here, we don't have any documents, and the three of you can only walk through the customs. ”

The rickshaw driver put Ouyang Yu and the three down, and Fumio Watanabe paid for the car and took Ouyang Yu and Chie Watanabe to join the team waiting for inspection.

The speed of the military police inspection is not slow, Ouyang Yu and the three of them waited for about twenty minutes and finally it was their turn, Watanabe Fumio took out his documents and work cards and handed them to the military police who inspected them, and then pointed to Ouyang Yu and Watanabe Chie behind him and said: "One of the two of them is my niece who just came to Tianjing yesterday and has not yet applied for documents, and the other is that my woman is too young and has no documents, I am now taking them to the concession to do something." ”

Fumio Watanabe's documents didn't have any problems and he was a professor, and the target of the gendarme's search was a man, so the gendarmes who checked just looked at Ouyang Yu and Watanabe Chie and let them go.

Fumio Watanabe beckoned to Ouyang Yu and Qianhui Watanabe, motioning for them to pass the level with him, but as soon as he took two steps, he heard someone behind him shouting: "You guys stop for me!"

Ouyang Yu held Watanabe Chie with his left hand, and his empty right hand quietly touched into his arms and turned on the hammer of the M1911 pistol, Watanabe Fumio's body stiffened, and he slowly turned to look at the person who stopped them.

"Professor Watanabe, we'll meet again. "It turned out that it was the second lieutenant of the military police who stopped Ouyang Yu and the others last night.

Seeing that the second lieutenant of the gendarmerie did not look unfavorable to the three of them with a smile on his face, Fumio Watanabe forced to calm down and asked with a smile on his face: "Mr. Ensign, we met again, I don't know what you called us for something?"

The second lieutenant of the military police pulled Fumio Watanabe aside and whispered: "Professor Watanabe, I would like to ask for your help, my cousin also came from China yesterday and wants to find a decent job. ”

Hearing that this is the kind of thing, Fumio Watanabe really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if such a thing was in the past, Fumio Watanabe, who was quite principled, would definitely not agree, and would scold the other party, but now he can only smile and agree, only if Ouyang Yu is sent away as soon as possible, he and his family will be safe, otherwise even if he is a Japanese and a professor, he will not be able to eat and walk around.

"Mr. Ensign, leave your cousin's affairs to me, I will try my best to help get your cousin into the school, and in a few days you will come to my house with your cousin when you are free, and I will tell him some questions, and tell him the requirements of the school, so that he will easily pass the test when he applies for the job." ”

The second lieutenant of the military police hurriedly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you so much, my cousin and I will definitely come to visit you with a generous gift in a few days." ”

"That's it, I'm going to take my niece and daughter to the other side to do some shopping. ”

"Yes, yes, please walk slowly. ”

Stepping out of the somewhat trembling legs, Fumio Watanabe and Ouyang Yu and Watanabe Chie finally left the pass and came to Tianjing City, although the entire Tianjing has been occupied by the Japanese, but the Japanese do not like to live outside the concession, so they almost do not see the Japanese, and the people on duty on the street are no longer the Japanese military police, but the police of Wang's puppet government, compared with the Japanese concession, it is completely two worlds, and Ouyang Yu is finally safe here.
