The busy day on the beach is about to end, and the dark night is coming soon. The residual heat of summer makes the whole air very hot. The stray dogs on the roadside are clucking their tongues and panting heavily. The whole Shanghai
The beach is stuffy and hot
The Hongmen disciples were all naked and wearing wet short coats, rolling cigarettes with their rough fingers. They came home from work in twos and threes from the dock with one or two oceans in their hands and a look of exhaustion on their faces.
Hongmen does not have many places like Zhonghetang. All the brothers under his command are well-dressed and live a relaxed and comfortable life. Hongmen has never allowed Hongmen children to do such gangster things as collecting protection fees and loan sharking. Hongmen disciples are the only ones.
The income comes from the Huangpu Wharf, and nothing else. The Hongmen children work hard and are well-known throughout the Huangpu River. The wharf handling industry is also monopolized by the Hongmen and has become the main source of support for the gangs and their families.
A bright moon rose quietly from the sky, and a breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness. Dozens of Hongmen disciples picked up sweat towels and wiped their faces. Chen Jin was the foreman of the dock, and he was in charge of dozens of people.
Brother No., because today's work is too busy, the brothers started working late. I don't know when, more than a dozen trucks drove to the dock, and the bright headlights stung Chen Jin's eyes.
A guy with a tumor on his forehead jumped out of the leading car with a cigarette in his mouth. He raised his head and looked very arrogant. Under the contrast of the moonlight, Chen Jin recognized that this man was the boss of the Ax Gang.
Everyone in Toad Hongmen knows that the Ax Gang has annexed the Qing Gang and is eyeing the Hongmen's ambitions. It is definitely not a good thing for the Ax Gang to show up at the dock so late and with all their troops.
Chen Jin lowered his head and winked at the two brothers who were busy packing the cables. He looked very nervous and said: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Mu! Things are not going well. The Ax Gang is coming to destroy the place. Hurry up and get on the boat below and leave.
Go to the main hall to report!"
Dozens of Hongmen disciples were stopped at the pier by more than a dozen large vehicles. The thugs from the Ax Gang No. 10 were holding bright axes and looked at the Hongmen disciples coldly. Chen Jinda strode over and said,
The leader, Chen Jin, walked towards Toad without hesitation.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Jin asked coldly. Toad took a puff of cigarette, sneered, stepped back, and waved his hand!
"cut!"
Everyone in the Ax Gang raised their sharp axes and slashed at Chen Jin's dozens of people. Everyone in Hongmen was a tough guy. Although the opponent was outnumbered, no one begged for mercy. With their iron fists and the Ax Gang,
The thugs fought together, and the toad leaned on the car and looked coldly at the struggling Hongmen people. The sound of the ax piercing the flesh made the bloodthirsty toad enjoy it very much. He greedily sucked in the smell of blood and the smell of blood in the air.
The smell of oil smoke on the Huangpu River
The battle ended quickly. There was no doubt that dozens of tough guys from Hongmen were chopped into pieces by the hungry wolf-like Ax Gang No. 100. The toad whistled, and the disciples of the Ax Gang jumped in with a roar.
Get out of the car and disappear into the darkness...
Hong Nantian was furious in the Hongmen main hall at the moment, cursing the Ax Gang and Lin Jiale for their shamelessness. News of being attacked by the Ax Gang came from all the lobby entrances and docks. Hong Nantian had ordered that all Hongmen disciples gather in the main hall to prepare.
challenge
At the same time, Hong Nantian also called Zhonghetang. Pang Zhonghe's attitude was very vague, as if he was unwilling to join forces with him to resist the Ax Gang at this critical moment.
In fact, Pang Zhonghe also had troubles that he couldn't tell. The relationship between Hongmen and the French Concession was already very tense. Two elite Japanese divisions had already entered Shanghai. The French Concession had already been greeted by Sakahara.
Wander blindly in muddy waters, otherwise the consequences will be serious
The French were in a mess against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany in the European battlefield, and their status in Shanghai was getting worse day by day. On the contrary, two elite Japanese divisions entered Shanghai. The French had no time to avoid the disaster, so how could they
Even the patrol room and the detective team have been ordered not to act without permission if they care about Hongmen. It can be said that Hongmen can only fight alone now, and Sakahara's two elite divisions may join the battle at any time.
Pang Zhonghe could only call Deng Long now, hoping that this strange man from the fifth generation could resolve this crisis. However, Deng Long and Chun Chun had gone out for a day and still could not be contacted. Pang Zhonghe could only pray that Hongmen could
Escaped this crisis
Lin Jiale and Sakahara's plan was very successful. First, they would annihilate all the outer disciples of Hongmen. Then they would close the door and beat the dogs, and surround and annihilate the Hongmen main hall. Lin Jiale and Yamamoto sat in the RV and watched the Hongmen coming and going.
The gangsters who came out were like ants on a hot pot. Lin Jiale was very satisfied with this situation. He and Yamamoto lit cigarettes in the car and watched with interest.
The Ax Gang was still attacking Hongmen's lobby entrances from the outside. From the anxious faces coming in and out of the Hongmen main hall, Lin Jiale could tell that Toad did a very good job this time. Hong Nantian was calling the sky but not the earth this time.
It didn't work. Yamamoto had already organized all the samurai and elite ninjas from the Hongkou Dojo into the Ax Gang, including hundreds of armed soldiers from the Japanese Concession. The real guns and ammunition of these soldiers were far superior to the hundreds of old-fashioned weapons from Hongmen.
The Hubei Manufacturing Bureau's veteran products are much stronger. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, General Sakahara even sent ten more cannons to be placed around. It can be said that Hongmen is unable to fly this time.
The moon hung quietly in the dark night sky, exuding a pale silver glow, seeming to be praying for the coming bloodshed. Hong Nantian stood in the courtyard of the main hall, frowning, and sighed: "Is it possible that Hongmen today
Do you really want to die in my hands, Hong Nantian?"
What depresses Hong Nantian the most is that at this critical moment, Chu Zhensheng, the chief steward of Hongmen, actually fled with the money. All the central bank cashier's checks of Hongmen were given to him by the chief steward who had been in Hongmen for decades.
The most important thing is that after Chu Zhensheng left, the morale in Hongmen is now low. Some people are even shouting to surrender to the Ax Gang.
"Boss! There are not enough bullets. There are only eight cannonballs among them! There are less than twenty bullets for each person! The iron shield is not enough!" A man as tall as an iron tower frowned and wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran.
Report to Hong Nantian
"A Le! Tell the brothers to get ready! Convey my message, rather die than surrender, and fight until the last drop of blood!" Hong Nantian suddenly turned his head and said domineeringly towards A Le, firmly and forcefully.
"Yes! I'd rather die than surrender! Fight to the last drop of blood!" Ale said loudly, and then quickly ran to arrange the arrangements.
When ten o'clock arrived, Lin Jiale looked at his watch and a cruel smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, "Colonel Yamamoto, it's time for the show to begin!" Lin Jiale and Yamamoto laughed while sitting in the car.
"Well, Dalang, let's fire up the cannon!" Yamamoto touched a small tuft of his beard and said to the driver of the RV.
Da Lang, the driver of the RV, said "Hi", opened the door and walked out, took out a long thin iron tube from his arms, pulled the fuse, and there was a roar, and the thin tube shells screamed and shot towards the car with a miserable green light.
Howling in the sky! When it reached the highest point, the shells exploded with a bang! It lit up the entire night sky! A big battle was about to begin.
Soon, the roar of cars came from the street corner, and more than twenty military trucks were parked neatly on the street in front of Hongmen. Members of the Ax Gang in black suits and Hongkou holding a samurai sword.
The samurai from the gym jumped out of the car first. There were hundreds of people in the dense crowd. The last few cars that got out were all Japanese soldiers holding bayonets and steel guns. Of course, they were wearing suits, with only military boots and steel on their feet.
The bright bayonet on the front of the gun exposed their hideous appearance!
Deng Long and Chun Chun were still wandering around Xishan Park. It was a rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone together. Naturally, they were sweet. Deng Long looked at Chun Chun, whose face was crystal clear under the moonlight. He couldn't help but get excited and was about to kiss Chun Chun. However, Chun Long jumped lightly.
Open, pointing to the sky, "Deng Long, look, the fireworks are so bright!"
Deng Long looked up and saw a green light piercing the night sky and illuminating half of the sky. An ominous premonition flashed through Deng Long's heart, and a chill filled his heart.
Deng Long's interest was gone at this moment, and he felt depressed, "In the spring, we should go back. I don't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong tonight."
After playing for a day, Spring was a little tired. He smiled and kissed Deng Long on the cheek. He hugged Deng Long and said with a gentle and naughty smile: "If you are tired, then go home. It will save my father."
in a hurry!"
Deng Long felt depressed. He sat on Spring's bicycle, forced out a smile and said: "Spring, my princess, let's ride!"
Spring laughed sharply, jumped on the bicycle, hugged Deng Long's waist, and happily put his face on Deng Long's back. This man brought him a sense of security that he had never experienced before. Since the last time Deng Long risked his life and death,
After breaking into the Hongkou Dojo alone to save himself, Spring's heart has already been melted by Deng Long...
Deng Long was not in the mood to enjoy the warmth at this moment. He pedaled his bicycle hard and rushed to Zhonghe Hall. Spring seemed to feel a little uneasiness in Deng Long and asked with concern: "Xiaolong, what's wrong? You are so
Why are you so impatient!"
"It's nothing, I always feel uneasy. I'm afraid something big is going to happen tonight! Sit tight, we'll rush back to Zhonghe Hall right away!" Deng Long said uneasily, and stepped even harder, making the bicycle squeak.
Soon Deng Long rushed back to Zhonghe Hall. Pang Zhonghe was pacing back and forth anxiously in the hall. Li Kangkai and He Chao also sat on their chairs with livid faces and said nothing. The Ax Gang was about to attack Hongmen. Li Kangkai was originally
He wanted to lead the detective team to support, but there was an order from above not to interfere in this matter. Li Kangkai had no choice but to come to Zhonghe Hall with He Chao, hoping that Pang Zhonghe would come forward to support Hongmen, but he did not expect that Pang Zhonghe was also helpless.
The three of them were all depressed. Deng Long, who was the most capable and had the most clever ideas, happened to be fooling around with Spring for who knows where at this time.
As soon as Deng Long walked into the hall, Pang Zhonghe immediately took Deng Long's hand and asked eagerly: "Xiaolong, something big happened!" Li Kangkai and He Chao also stood up with displeasure on their faces.
Deng Long smiled at Li Kangkai and He Chao, blinked his eyes, and asked: "Mr. Pang, what happened? Tell me slowly!"
"We have reliable intelligence. The Japanese and the Ax Gang have joined forces to attack Hongmen. Two of Sakahara's elite divisions are also on standby at the periphery. Hongmen has reached a critical moment of life and death," Pang Zhonghe said eagerly.
As soon as Pang Zhonghe finished speaking, he heard a loud blast of cannons! Everyone's faces suddenly turned pale. They didn't expect that they would be on fire so quickly. It seemed that the cannons were all used.
"Old man, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and mobilize the elites from Zhonghetang to support you. And brother Li, what are you sitting here watching?" Deng Long was so anxious that he ignored the etiquette and faced Pang Zhong.
He and Li Kangkai shouted
"There is no way. Neither the French Concession nor the government is allowed to help Hongmen. I am powerless and have nothing to do!" Li Kangkai said helplessly with a lowered face.
"Hmph! You are still thinking about this at this time. I can tell you that after Hongmen was destroyed, Zhonghetang and the French Concession were next. Lin Jiale and the Japanese took control of Shanghai. Is there still room for you to survive? Really?
I don’t know what you are worried about? Forget it, if you don’t go, I will go alone! Hong Nantian is my brother, and I will fight alongside him even if I risk my life!” Deng Long shouted angrily at the three of them, and then turned around angrily.
went out
"Deng Long, Deng Long..." Pang Zhonghe waved his hand and shouted eagerly. Deng Long had already rushed out. Pang Zhonghe sat weakly on the big chair. What Deng Long said was not true. Lin Jiale and the Japanese
Now that he has come to power, his end is probably not far away. Hongmen is his ally. It would be unkind and unjust not to save him when he is in trouble!
He Chao also stood up, holding a pistol, and said angrily: "Old Li, you are in the officialdom, you have orders from above, I understand! But I am a commoner, Deng Long is loyal, how can I lag behind!" After saying that, He Chao stood up.
Chao chased after Deng Long’s figure.
Li Kangkai rubbed his temples. Deng Long and He Chao are his brothers who treat each other with sincerity. They can care about life and death, so why should he be afraid of rules and regulations? The big deal is that if he quits in the future, "Old man, Deng Long is right, you can no longer be timid."
Otherwise, Shanghai Beach will really change its circumstances.”
Seeing Li Kangkai dragging his heavy footsteps away, Pang Zhonghe sat down on the big chair weakly. The Japanese were able to kidnap his daughter and injure his son last time. If they were allowed to control Shanghai, Zhonghetang would
I'm afraid his fate will be even worse. Instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, it's better to fight to the death.
Thinking of this, Pang Zhonghe stood up firmly and shouted outside the door: "Come here, pass my order. All the disciples of Zhonghe Hall must gather and rush to Hongmen to rescue the Hongmen brothers!"
Asking for income, asking for flowers, asking for notes!
