The gunfire from the direction of Shuiximen stopped within a few minutes.
Then, the sky finally dawned, and the Nanjing underground party members finally rushed back from outside the city and came in through the side door. The two parties met without much exchange of words. Nakamura Shun directly asked the underground party members to find a water spoon.
, then poured cold water on the faces of the driver and the two guards.
The driver and the two guards shivered with excitement and woke up one after another.
The adjutant was the first to wake up. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Nakamura Shunhou, then he pulled out his Southern-style pistol and shouted: "Your Excellency, Colonel, hurry up and take cover, there is an assassin!"
The driver and another guard quickly reached out and drew their guns, protecting Jun Nakamura behind them.
Fortunately, the comrades in the underground party were holding water spoons, otherwise these little devils might have shot directly.
Even so, the driver and the two guards still pointed their guns at the two comrades from the underground party, and then shouted: "Put your hands up and then fall to the ground, quickly!"
The two comrades from the underground party looked at each other in confusion, saying that they were either lying down or not.
"Okay, stop shouting, the assassin has already left!" Nakamura Jun snorted, then pointed at the two comrades of the underground party and said with a sullen face, "These two are the real bosses of this auto repair shop.
Master, the ones before were all fake, this time, thanks to these two masters, the assassins were frightened away, otherwise we would have been dead."
"Scared away the assassins?" the adjutant said doubtfully, "Just them?"
Nakamura Shun was also speechless for a moment. This seems a bit unbelievable, right?
Fortunately, the comrades of the underground party were also quick-thinking. One of them said: "That's it. Just now, when the gangsters weren't paying attention, we sneaked into the backyard, and then sounded the horn of a scrapped tricycle. After the gangsters heard the horn,
, I thought the imperial army had arrived, so I quickly ran away."
Toshiya Nakamura said: "They are probably just a group of gangsters trying to extort some money."
"Sodes." The adjutant breathed a long sigh of relief and put his pistol back into its holster.
Nakamura Jun's driver and another guard also put away their pistols. The driver also nodded gratefully to the comrades of the underground party. This is not because they are too arrogant, nor because they are too vigilant. In fact, His Excellency Colonel
And all three of them are still alive and well, so it's easy to believe this statement.
What's more, this was what Colonel Nakamura told them himself.
At that moment, Jun Nakamura asked the driver to stay at the auto repair shop and wait for the tire to be repaired before driving the car back, and then left with the adjutant and another guard.

Let’s go back and talk about Xu Rui.
When Xu Rui and his party of six left Wang Ji's repair shop, it was already dark.
At this time, for safety reasons, you should stay in the city for a day and wait until dark before climbing over the city wall and leaving the city. Otherwise, you will easily be discovered by the Japanese sentry on the top of the city when you climb over the wall.
The Japanese guard post cannot pose a threat to Langya, but after being exposed, the Japanese military police in Nanjing City will follow the clues and launch a large-scale manhunt, which may pose a certain threat to the fortress households outside Shuixi Gate. It is very difficult for the Nanjing underground party to develop and maintain these fortress households.
, so it’s better not to be exposed if possible.
Frankly speaking, Xu Rui really didn't want to cause trouble to the Nanjing underground party.
But Xu Rui knew that Jun Nakamura was now in the most vulnerable period. If they stayed in Nanjing, the old devil Nakamura Jun might get lucky and might mobilize the military police to round them up. If so, the previous
All efforts will be in vain, a result Xu Rui does not want to see.
So after going out, Xu Rui led Sai Hongfu, Xiao Taohong, Lei Xiang, Mo Zichen, Big Boa Snake and other five people straight to Shuixi Gate without hesitation, and then climbed over the city wall near Shuixi Gate.
Since it was already getting light at this time, she was discovered by the Japanese sentry when she climbed over the city wall. Although Xiao Taohong shot and killed the Japanese sentry in time, and she used a silencer pistol, the other one happened to be hiding behind the female wall at that time.
Xiao Jie's Japanese sentry escaped by mistake and fired a warning shot in time.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed at the city gate were immediately alerted, and then they were like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed with a bamboo pole, exploding the nest.
Having said that, it is purely wishful thinking for the Japanese and puppet troops to want to keep Xu Rui and the others based on this.
In a melee, more than a dozen Japanese military police stationed at Shuixi Gate were knocked down, but the puppet troops were unscathed.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers continued to fall, but the Imperial Army remained unscathed, the dozens of puppet soldiers raised their guns in tacit agreement and fired ping-pong-pong-pong-pong into the sky.
The exchange of fire lasted less than two minutes, and all fifteen Japanese soldiers stationed at Shuixi Gate were killed. Then, amid the gunfire of more than forty puppet troops, Langya quickly disappeared into the thin morning light outside the city.
However, at this time, the Japanese gendarmerie in Nanjing were also alerted. In less than a quarter of an hour, the main force of the Nanjing gendarmerie, led by the gendarmerie captain Hatoda Hiroshi, rushed to Shuiximen. After asking the puppet troops about the situation, they immediately asked
Xu Rui and the others launched a pursuit in the direction they disappeared, and at the same time reported the discovery of the Wolf Fang at Shuiximen to the dispatched army headquarters.

The gunshots at Shuiximen not only alerted the Japanese in the city, but also alerted the Japanese in Fanghua Garden.
Last night, the chief of staff of the Central China Condemnation Army, Kawabe Shozo, grabbed Toshi Nakamura and more than a dozen combat officers from the general staff, and continued to improve the combat plan. He was busy until after midnight before letting Toshi Nakamura go home. After Toshi Nakamura left, the rest
More than a dozen combat staff officers also got off work one after another, but Hebian Zhengzo, an old devil, worked overtime alone and was busy until dawn.
After dawn, just a few minutes after having breakfast, Kawabe Shozo was woken up by the sound of gunshots. He put on his clothes and hurried to the war room. As soon as Kawabe Shozo entered the door, he asked: "What's going on?"
But no one could answer Hebian Zhengzo's question. Only a combat staff member whispered: "Your Excellency, the gunfire seems to be coming from the direction of Shuiximen?"
"Shuiximen?" Hebian Zhengsan said with a frown, "Isn't the arsenal outside the grassland gate? Why did Langya go to Shuiximen? What's going on? Is there a phone number at the gendarmerie?"
The combat officer who had just answered shook his head and said that the gendarmerie had not called yet.
After a while, the gendarmerie finally called and reported the situation at Shuiximen.
Kawabe Shozo learned that a group of Langya climbed over the wall near Shuiximen and left the city at dawn, and that Hatota Hiroshi had led the main force of the military police to pursue them, so he no longer cared about this matter. In the end, the main thing to deal with Langya was
With Hatota Hiroshi's force behind him, Shozo Kawabe's mission was to formulate a battle plan to sweep Dameishan.
Thinking that there were still a few links in the combat plan that had not been refined, Kawabe Shozo simply did not sleep. He immediately asked one of his combat staff to call the Officers Club and asked Nakamura Shunya to come over as soon as possible to participate in the detailed plan. Kawabe Shozo
I really hate Nakamura Jun's lazy style, but he still fully recognizes Nakamura Jun's ability, and he is very skillful in using it, otherwise he would not have specially transferred Nakamura Jun from the Doihara Agency to the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters.
(Dividing line)
When a chief staff officer of the Central China Dispatch Force Command picked up the phone and called the switchboard of the Officers Club, Nakamura Shunye was holding the phone in his hand and was about to make a call.
Xu Rui's guess was correct. Nakamura Shun was indeed in a stage of intense ideological struggle at this time.
From the moment Xu Rui left, there were two different voices constantly fighting in Nakamura Jun's mind. One voice said: Hurry up and confess everything that happened last night to His Majesty the General.
The chief of staff by the river, and then silently suffered the outcome he deserved - committing hara-kiri to thank the emperor!
But another voice immediately said: Why confess? If you confess, you will die immediately. But if you don't confess, you can not only survive, not only continue to enjoy a wonderful life, you can even be promoted and obtain a higher position.
, and have greater power. What’s wrong with such a choice?
Betraying the empire? How do you think about the score? There is no doubt that you are betraying the imperial family by doing so.
But to say that he betrayed the whole of Japan, Nakamura Shun did not agree, because the Japanese should have more different choices, instead of just passively following the royal family to endure this war! The domestic opposition was opposed to launching this war.
This war is not without reason. After all, it is still an unjust war of aggression.
After returning to the officers' club, Nakamura Shun locked himself in the study.
Even when his Korean concubine knocked on the door, Nakamura Shun ignored him.
Then, Nakamura Jun picked up the phone on the desk. Several times, Nakamura Jun had put his hand on the crank. Then he only had to shake it gently to call the operator, and he would have a chance to save his reputation.
.
Of course, he will also pay a heavy price for this, and this price is his life!
However, Shun Nakamura finally let go of his hand dejectedly and was unable to shake the handle until the end. He wanted to be an operator, let alone let the operator communicate with the headquarters. Naturally, it was impossible to talk about it. He reported to Nishio Hisao and Kawabe Shozo today.
What happened in Wang Kee's auto repair shop in the early morning.
After a long time, Nakamura Jun put the phone back on the phone rack dejectedly, then put his head in his hands, leaned on the desk and sobbed softly. Yes, Nakamura Jun had never hated himself as much as he did at this moment.
He is weak, hates his cowardice, hates his greed for life and fear of death.
But after crying and hating, the world remains the same.
I walked to the window, opened the curtains, and saw the red sun rising in the eastern sky, still so bright, as if nothing had changed. At this time, the phone suddenly rang.
"Asashi Asashi." Nakamura Shun reached out and picked up the microphone, having completely returned to normal.
