Chapter 41: Very smooth operation

On Friday morning, April 13, Li Junhao called back to the office at half past eight, and Milia reported on the work of the consulate that day, and everything was generally normal. This gives him peace of mind to focus on today's actions.

At 9 o'clock, the personnel involved in the direct operation dispersed and entered Xue Huali Road under the leadership of Lei Tingjun.

Because of Li Junhao's clear request, Lei Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu did not get the opportunity to participate in this operation, the reason is very clear, if there are two female members involved in the operation, it will be too eye-catching, and it will make the investigators pay attention to the forces of female actors, which is not good for Phoenix Village.

In fact, according to the plan, Li Junhao will not directly participate in the action - his image as a foreigner is too conspicuous! Therefore, at this time, he drove Lei Xiaofeng and Lei Xiaoyu to go shopping nearby.

At 9:35 a.m., Lei Shizhu, who was handcuffed and shackled, was taken out of the detention center, and a black prisoner car with a sedan chassis and an iron body was parked at the back door of the police department.

At 38 minutes, the prisoner car had just re-detoured to Xue Huali Road, which was in the middle of the police department and the third branch, when two roadside "pedestrians" suddenly pulled out their shell guns, and the "......" shot several times in a row and blew up the two front and rear wheels on the left side of the prisoner car! Although the driver braked suddenly, the prisoner car crashed headlong into a silk shop on the side of the road, and the driver and the patrol officer in the passenger seat crashed headlong into the front windshield and fainted.

At this time, several other people quickly surrounded them, holding sledgehammers and iron drills in their hands, ......and it only took three or two strokes to pry the rear door open, and the two French patrolmen who were dizzy saw that the back door was opened, so they wanted to take out their revolvers, but their eyes saw that several people standing at the door of the car were all holding submachine guns with long magazines, and they were so frightened that they immediately raised their hands!

The day before, Lei Shizhu, who was in the detention center, had been notified of today's action, and when the prisoner car was out of control just now, he was the only person in the car who had taken self-protection measures, and he was not injured at all......

The few people in charge of opening the door threw down the tools in their hands, and dragged Lei Shizhu out of the car with their hands, and then the four of them divided their labor, lifted him and ran into the silk shop that had broken the door...... Several other men armed with submachine guns stepped forward to protect them and retreated into the shop.

At this time, the patrol room not far away and the court patrol on duty rushed out and ran towards the position of the prisoner car, but as soon as they ran a few dozen meters, they were stunned to find that several people on the sidewalks on both sides of the pavement had lifted their clothes and pulled out submachine guns......

Gunshots rang out, the streets were in chaos, pedestrians fled with their heads in their hands, and several passing cars, some of which were so frightened that they stopped in the local area and the drivers got out of the car and fled, while others immediately reversed and retreated, making the road even more chaotic......

When the patrol realized that the other party had shot into the sky and had not hurt anyone, they dared to raise their heads, only to see a dozen people with masked faces rushing into the shop where they had been hit by the prisoner car......

After five or six minutes, a team of low-level Chinese arresters armed with rifles were forced by the French police officers behind them to the door of the silk shop, only to find a few words written in red paint on a door panel next to them - "There is a bomb in the house!!" At this moment, everyone stopped, not daring to step forward. In this case, the orders of the French police officers are useless, being a patrol is just a job, and if there is a bomb, it will rush inside, and no one will do it!

It took more than ten minutes before a military truck arrived, and a squad of French soldiers jumped from itโ€”an EOD squad specially invited by the patrol room, commanded by a French squad leader, and all the soldiers were from Beiqi, Vietnam.

After the Battle of August 13, in order to strengthen the strength of the concession, the French authorities transferred the 1st Battalion of the Expeditionary Force (mainly Vietnamese Beiqi people, guarding the eastern area) and the 2nd Battalion (guarding the western area) from French China, and reorganized it into the Colonial Mixed Infantry Battalion (BMICC) of the Chinese Colony (BMICC) together with the 2nd Company of the 16th Colonial Infantry Regiment (RIC) (guarding the central area of the concession), which had been stationed in the concession before, under the command of a lieutenant colonel of the infantry regiment.

After nearly an hour of careful investigation, the EOD team found four loose grenades in the shop that had been removed from the safety pins and held in place with bricks or furniture, and finally declared that there was no danger. But by this time, there was no one in the shop for a long time - the silk shop had a back door, and the owner of the shop and the two guys were knocked unconscious, tied up and thrown in the back alley!

After inspecting the scene, the detective team of the patrol room figured out the process of moving the prisoners - it took only 30 seconds for seven to eight masked men to stop the prisoner car, pry open the back door, carry the prisoners away, and enter the silk shop;

Ten or so masked men blocked at each end of the street, shooting into the air with submachine guns, intimidating the patrols who came to support, and then ran into the shops as well;

There are at least two or more responders in the silk shop, and they are responsible for placing grenades after the break!

As for the future movements of these masked men, they also basically figured it out, and the other party prepared two trucks in advance in the alleyway behind the shop, and then went east onto Masi South Road, and then ran north into the public concession...... By the time they confirmed this information, nearly two hours had passed, and the people and cars had long since disappeared!

-----------------

Li Junhao on the other side drove with the two evacuated trucks, and watched them drive into the dock warehouse area, leaving six people to continue to guard the warehouse, only equipped with the old style, Lei Tingjun took most of the people to escort Lei Shizhu onto a cargo ship, crossed the river to the east bank; This time, in order to avoid trouble, Li Junhao even forced Lei Xiaoyu to follow the people of Phoenix Village back - he couldn't be too selfish and delay the reunion of his brothers and sisters.

There were two drivers among the people left behind in the warehouse, and they drove the truck to a hidden place that had been stepped on in advance, and then ran back to the warehouse themselves; And Li Junhao, who followed behind, got out of the car to put away the truck, and finally drove Shi Shiran home in the car.

This rescue operation went much smoother than he expected, and the whole process went exactly according to his pre-made plan, without a single deviation or accident. This should be thanks to a series of drills conducted in advance, which fully confirmed an old Chinese saying: "Everything is foreseen, and everything is not prepared!" (From "The Book of Rites: The Mean")

For Li Junhao, the biggest gain from the success of this matter is that the admiration of these guards in Phoenix Village has reached a new height, and the relationship between the two sides has been greatly strengthened.
