At the same time, in the central area of the concession.
Jonathan, the general director of the Concession Industry Bureau, also heard from Police Commissioner Johnson that more than a dozen opium dens on Suzhou Road had been robbed by patrol battalions.
Just like before, Jonathan was still gloating after hearing about it.
Because Suzhou Road is in the northern part of the concession, it is a territory controlled by the Japanese.
"That's right." Jonathan laughed and said, "The Broadway Building robbed the western part of the concession, and the patrol camp in turn robbed the northern part of the concession. It's only right to have back and forth like this, haha."
Johnson also said: "Mr. General Director, things are really going to get serious now."
"It's better to make a big fuss," Jonathan said. "Anyway, it won't cause trouble to us British people."
However, as soon as Jonathan finished speaking, the beautiful female secretary Jenna opened the door and walked in, reporting: "Mr. General Director, we just received a report from the patrol room. There are three opium dens, two gambling dens and more on Xiamen Road.
A dance club had just been robbed, and the police patrol who happened to be patrolling nearby tried to stop it, and several of them were injured."
"Oh?"
"Xiamen Road was also robbed?"
Johnson and Jonathan were stunned when they heard this.
Just a moment ago, they were gloating about what happened to the Japanese, but in the blink of an eye, bad luck fell on them. Should this be so obvious?
After a long while, Jonathan finally reacted and asked: "Who did it?"
Jenna said in an uncertain tone: "It is said that it was done by people from the Ax Gang."
"Axe Gang?" Johnson said angrily, "It must be someone from Broadway Building pretending to be another one!"
"People from Broadway Building?" Jonathan asked, "Are the bastards from Broadway Building stupid? The patrol battalion went to the North District of the Concession to retaliate against them. Instead of going back to save themselves quickly, they came to the Central District of our Concession to rob us?"
"The people in Broadway Building are not stupid, they are stupid!" Johnson snorted, turned around and walked out, and said to Jonathan very angrily, "Mr. President, I will go back to the police station to summon all the patrol officers in the Central District.
We must kill this group of dog agents pretending to be the Ax Gang! I will never spare them!"
"Go ahead." Jonathan said fiercely, "Don't have any scruples during the firefight!"
"Understood!" Johnson said with murderous intent, "I will let these dog agents understand that the Central Area of the Concession is not a place for them to run wild!" After saying that, Johnson left aggressively.
However, Johnson was not able to get any benefits from his visit.
(Dividing line)
Going back to Yingzuo Zhenzhao, when Yingzuo Zhenzhao and Xu Rui led the gendarmerie to Suzhou Road, the patrol battalion had already finished its work and successfully evacuated into the central area of the concession.
The patrol battalion came prepared this time. More than 200 people disguised themselves in advance and entered the eastern area of the concession controlled by the Japanese army. After determining the target, they launched at the same time. From the beginning to the end of the operation, it only took less than a quarter of an hour.
The little devil's reaction was already fast enough, but it was still half a beat too slow.
When Yingzuo Zhenzhao arrived with a squadron of military police, the patrol battalion had already broken through the Japanese army and the British army blockade, and retreated from the Junk Bridge to the central area of the concession controlled by the British army.
Let’s first introduce the public concession. The public concession is divided into four major districts: East District, North District, Central District, and West District. Among them, the North District and the Eastern District are in Suzhou and Hebei, and the Central and Western Districts are in Suzhou and Henan.
The French Concession is located in the Central District of the Public Concession, to the south of the West District.
After the Battle of Songhu, the North and East Concessions were placed under Japanese control. Several bridges between the North, Central and West Concessions were guarded by their respective armies, but only the two sides clashed.
When the time comes, defense forces will be strengthened at various bridges and intersections. In normal times, there are only a few sentries.
In recent days, the Broadway Building has been very noisy in the West District of the Concession, but the Central District, North District and East District of the Concession have been very peaceful, so whether it is the British troops in the Central District or the Japanese troops in the North District or the Eastern Army,
The bridge and various intersections were not strengthened, so the patrol battalion easily crossed the bridge.
When the gendarmerie from the Nakamura Agency arrived, the patrol battalion had already gone far away.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao led the gendarmerie to chase for a while, until they reached the Junk Bridge, but they did not dare to pursue any further, because if they pursued further, they would enter the central area of the concession, and the British troops on the other side of the Junk Bridge looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
With such a look, Yingzuo Zhenzhao had no doubt that if the Japanese military police rushed over, the two sides would immediately fight.
At this time, a Japanese commander named Cao, who was in charge of guarding the North Bridge, stepped forward with his head lowered and paused to report: "Sir!"
"Baga!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao, who was in a rage, immediately slapped Chief Cao and cursed, "You are a bunch of losers, why don't you stop the people from the patrol camp?"
"Hai." Mr. Cao didn't dare to talk back even after being beaten.
But in his heart, Chief Cao was also cursing. You officials can't stop the patrol camp without standing and talking? That's easy to say, but the question is how to stop it? We only have half a squad in total, but how many of the other party are there?
There were hundreds of people and many cars, and the firepower was so fierce that it was unbelievable. How could they stop them?
To be honest, it is not easy for me to survive.
At this time, Ryota Kawamoto stepped forward and said to Kage Sasaki: "Your Excellency Colonel, I have just called the patrol house in the central area of the concession opposite and asked them to help intercept the patrol camp, but..."
Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face darkened and he asked: "What did the British guy say?"
Ryota Kawamoto paused and said: "The British replied that the central area of the concession was peaceful and no unknown armed elements were found to have invaded. They also asked us to mind our own business."
"Peaceful?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao said angrily, "These damn British."
As soon as he finished speaking, fierce gunshots suddenly rang out from across the garbage bridge.
In fact, at this time, it was the patrolmen from the Central District of the Concession who were having a fierce battle with the Ax Gang on Xiamen Road.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao subconsciously raised his telescope, but because the distance was too far and there were buildings in the middle, he couldn't see where the gunfire came from.
Xu Rui hurriedly ran to the nearby phone booth and made a call.
After a while, Xu Rui returned to Yingzuo Zhenzhao and reported: "Your Majesty, Colonel, my informant reported to me that Xiamen Road in the Central District of the Concession was robbed."
"Nani? Someone robbed someone on Xiamen Road?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, it's so peaceful, so peaceful, hahaha."
After a long while, Yingzuo Zhenzhao stopped laughing and asked: "Who did this?"
"The Ax Gang." Xu Rui said with a strange look on his face, "It's the Ax Gang again."
"Axe Gang?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao raised his eyebrows fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Liang Sang, did you arrange this?"
"Of course not." Xu Rui smiled bitterly, "If it was arranged by me, there would be no need to call and ask just now. I would just report it to you, Colonel."
"Baga!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face immediately darkened and he said, "Is it really a patrol camp?"
"Absolutely!" Xu Rui replied in a very confident tone, "Aside from the patrol camp, who else dares to pretend to be the Ax Gang?"
"No!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao suddenly said after thinking for a moment, "It's fake that the patrol camp wants to start a full-scale war with the Broadway Building. It's true that the patrol camp wants to take the opportunity to rob black industries and slaughter fat sheep! The purpose of the patrol camp is to make money!"
After a pause, Yingzuo Zhenzhao turned back to Xu Rui and said: "What's even more vicious is that the patrol battalion not only wants to rob the northern and eastern areas of the concession controlled by the imperial army, but also the central area and the old west area of the concession controlled by the British.
He won’t let it go, and after the robbery is over, he will put the blame on your Broadway Building! How damn cruel!”
"That won't work!" Xu Rui immediately said anxiously, "Your Excellency, Colonel, this must be clarified!"
"Clarify?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao shook his head and said in a dark voice, "If the patrol battalion dares to do this, it must have a plan. I'm afraid it's too late for us to clarify at this time, and maybe it will get darker and darker.
Don’t you have an old saying in China, which is called yellow mud falling down your crotch?”
Xu Rui said: "The yellow mud fell into the crotch, it is either feces or feces."
"Yes, that's it. When yellow mud falls into your crotch, it's either feces or feces." Yingzuo Zhenzhao nodded and said, "In short, you Broadway Building has taken the blame for the Ax Gang. Who asked you to pretend to be in the first place?
The Ax Gang didn't do a good job of disguising themselves when they went to the West Area of the Concession, so it was easy for others to see through Xingzang?"
Xu Rui quickly reflected and said: "This is because I have not considered things carefully. Please punish me, Colonel."
"The punishment will be waived. What's the point of talking about it now?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao waved his hand and said, "The problem now is that even if you take the blame, you can't take it for nothing!"
Xu Rui immediately said: "His Majesty Colonel, what you mean is... simply don't do anything, and don't stop..."
"Yes, just don't do one thing or not, and rob it together!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao said, "Anyway, whether you rob the Broadway Building or not, the British and Americans will blame you, so what?
Why worry so much? Just grab his mother with the patrol battalion, and then we will see who is quick! If you are quick, you will get it, if you are slow, you will not!"
"Okay!" Xu Rui said happily, "Let's listen to His Excellency Colonel and grab his mother's piece!"
Ying Zuozhenzhao smiled sinisterly and said: "Since we have decided to let go of the robbery, we will simply rob the French Concession. The French Concession is also a big fat sheep! If your Broadway Building can take over the French Concession,
The black industry is all over the place, even if it’s a small amount, you can get at least tens of millions of legal currency in income.”
"Hai." Xu Rui immediately joked, "By then, your Excellency, Colonel, will have tens of millions in extra income!"
"Baga!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao scolded with a smile, "This is not my personal income, but the income of the entire Imperial Army of Japan and the entire Empire of Japan. Don't be wrong."
"Hai Yi, this is the income of the imperial army." Xu Rui nodded repeatedly, but he was laughing in his heart. Isn't this the situation he wanted after all his hard work? Now it finally happened.
