Chapter five hundred and fortieth life and death crisis
Retreating to the door of the Li Deshun Hotel, Wu Baozhong immediately saw two unfamiliar corpses on the ground. He couldn't help but frowned. He wanted to say something, but didn't. He thought a little helplessly that these idiots were so stupid.
He was so deadly that he didn't even leave anyone alive.
But this traitor was just a facilitator, and he didn't dare to say anything at all, because the people guarding outside were all Japanese, and only a few were traitors.
At this time, the situation also stabilized. Kawashima Jinwu also saw the two strange corpses and asked his subordinates: "Why did you beat the people to death? Didn't you tell them to capture them alive?"
Kawashima Jinwu was also very angry. After all, he was not a fool. He was also an agent, so he naturally knew the importance of catching people alive.
"Your Excellency Colonel, these two men are very cruel. They injured many people and killed several others. I had no choice but to kill them because of my humble position."
The person who answered was a small leader, and what he said was true. After all, the two underground parties were fighting for their lives and would definitely cause certain casualties to the Japanese.
After hearing what his men said, Kawashima Jinwu looked at a group of his men, and sure enough he found a few people who were in trouble, and several corpses not far away.
Faced with this situation, Kawashima Jinwu couldn't say much because he knew that in this situation, he couldn't hold back at all.
At this time, Wu Baozhong stepped forward and said: "Captain, the man is dead. Now is not the time to talk about this. Fortunately, there are many targets in the hotel, and we can still catch other survivors."
Things had already happened, and Wu Baozhong couldn't say anything more, so he had to find a way to deal with the aftermath. Moreover, the traitor also saw that Kawashima Jinwu would not pursue the case, so he warned him.
"But there was chaos just now, and I'm worried that these underground gangs will take the opportunity to escape."
Kawashima Jinwu was not a confused person. He knew that the chaos that had just occurred was deliberately caused by the underground party, with the purpose of taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
Therefore, the Japanese colonel regretted it very much. He did not expect that such a big mistake would be made by accident. If he could not catch the person, he really could not explain it.
"Your Majesty Colonel, the chaos just now did not last long, so not many people may have escaped."
After finishing speaking, Wu Baozhong began to ask the people who stayed outside, wanting to know the specific situation.
Less than a minute later, Wu Baozhong continued to speak: "Your Majesty Colonel, not many people ran away just now. Most of them were blocked by us inside the hotel. As long as we go in and search, we will definitely find them."
Hearing what Wu Baozhong said, Kawashima Jinwu had some confidence, because the traitor's previous performance was very good, which made the army commander trust him very much, so he said: "Okay, let's block this place first, and a large group of people will come soon."
Yes, we are going in to search."
After finishing speaking, Kawashima Jinwu ordered another subordinate to report the situation to Tanaka Weisuke. After all, there was such a big mess and this was still the territory of foreigners. The colonel also needed support from above.
In a short time, a large number of armed men appeared outside the Li Deshun Hotel. However, what was surprising was that these armed men were all wearing plain clothes, but they had very good weapons.
Of course those who came were the Japanese and some traitors. After all, if a shot was fired here, people from other places would definitely come to reinforce them.
However, after Japanese reinforcements arrived, the police in the concession also arrived belatedly.
A lot of police came, nearly a hundred of them, led by a white police sergeant. When he saw a large group of Japanese surrounding the Li Deshun Hotel, he couldn't help but be very angry.
"Mr. Kawashima, you are so messy that you dared to kill people in the concession and surrounded the Li Deshun Hotel."
The white police chief is a British man and a high-ranking figure in the concession authority. Naturally, he has dealt with the Japanese. After all, the concession borders the urban area of Tianjin, and many matters need to be discussed with the Japanese.
This time the Japanese entered the concession to search. Originally, these white people were unwilling, but they did not dare to treat the Japanese forcefully. In addition, the Japanese also took off their military uniforms, so they had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
"Mr. Layton, there were many anti-Japanese elements in the Li Deshun Hotel. They also killed several of my men and injured several others. I was forced to fight back."
After finishing speaking, Kawashima Jinwu pointed to the corpse on the ground, and pulled the injured subordinate to let the white police chief watch.
The white police chief named Layton was a down-and-out British aristocrat who no longer had the arrogance of the white people. So he looked at the wounded in front of him, then at the corpses on the ground, and said calmly: "Mr. Kawashima, no matter what, you guys
Killing people openly in the concession is a violation of the security regulations of the concession.
However, there is a reason for the incident, so I will not pursue it. Please take your people and leave the concession immediately."
During this period of time, Germany was victorious in Europe, defeating all European countries and defeating them. Even Britain suffered heavy losses. Japan was an ally of Germany, so Leiden did not dare to do anything to the Japanese.
Even if the Japanese were so messy in the concession, Leiden did not dare to pursue it. After all, Britain's center of gravity was in Europe. Facing the Asian power Japan, it was naturally weaker for fear of irritating Japan and damaging its interests in Asia.
However, the Japanese character has always been to bully the weak and fear the strong. The weaker you are, the stronger they will be. So facing the weak Layton, Kawashima Jinwu said forcefully: "No, the anti-Japanese elements are inside, I have to remove them."
They caught him.
Moreover, according to the regulations signed by our two countries, the concession authorities have the obligation to assist us in arresting anti-Japanese elements.
So I hope Sheriff Layton will cooperate with us in searching the Li Deshun Hotel to find anti-Japanese elements."
Kawashima Jinwu's answer surprised Layton, because the white police chief did not expect that the Japanese would be so strong.
Leiden was originally angry, thinking that the Japanese behavior in the concession was too rampant and did not take the British Empire into consideration at all.
However, the current international situation and British foreign policy did not allow Leiden to confront the Japanese, so he swallowed his anger. After all, the situation in the British Empire was not good.
But Layton had already taken a big step back and did not even hold the Japanese responsible for anything. However, the other party's extravagant demands made the white man angry. After all, at this time, the white man is still in control of the world.
"Mr. Kawashima, you are going too far, and your request is also rude. I now ask you to withdraw from the concession immediately, otherwise I will report it to the government and have the Ministry of Foreign Affairs protest to the Japanese cabinet."
Leiden was really annoyed, so he used Britain to scare Kawashima Jinwu and wanted the Japanese to withdraw from the concession.
However, the Japanese are very barbaric, and they have always taken advantage of the tough and not the soft. They are not scared at all, especially now that Japan's military power is at its peak and they don't care about Britain at all.
So Kawashima Jinwu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Mr. Layton, I said, there are anti-Japanese elements here, and we must find them."
"Fuck, you are messing around too much. This is a provocation to the British Empire. I will not help you search, nor will I let you mess around."
Layton became a little angry. After he finished speaking, he took out his pistol. The policemen behind him also picked up their weapons and pointed them at the Japanese.
Faced with the actions of the concession police, the Japanese did not care. Without Kawashima Jinwu's command, his men immediately raised their pistols and confronted the police in the concession.
Even the traitors, who usually showed respect to these policemen, took advantage of the Japanese power and used weapons to confront the British policemen, making the situation very tense.
Seeing this, Layton couldn't help but become a little anxious. After all, he didn't expect the Japanese to be so powerful and rush into the concession to openly confront the police.
Kawashima Jinwu also had some scruples. After all, the Japanese were not planning to go to war with the British yet, so the colonel naturally did not dare to act too recklessly.
However, seeing that Layton was anxious, Kawashima Jinwu felt a little more confident, so he threatened: "Chief Layton, if you continue to stop me from searching for anti-Japanese elements, then I will have to ask the garrison outside to come in.
Help me search the concession."
Kawashima Jinwu was trying to scare the white police chief. After all, if he entered the concession in plain clothes, he would have an excuse to cover it up. But if the army openly entered the concession, things would become a big deal. This would be equivalent to Japan declaring war on Britain.
After all, the concession is the territory of the British. Japanese troops openly entering the concession is tantamount to invading British territory. Even if the British are weak, they cannot give in.
Although he didn't believe that the Japanese dared to send troops into the concession, Layton was still very scared. After all, if such a thing happened, he, the police chief, would not be able to do well, so he asked nervously: "Mr. Kawashima, what are you going to do?
Sample."
"It's very simple, as long as you cooperate with me in searching the Li Deshun Hotel and find anti-Japanese elements."
Kawashima Jinwu's tone was very confident, as if he was sure that this white man would definitely agree.
Facing the threat of Kawashima Jinwu, Leiden was also very embarrassed. After all, he did not dare to take risks, so he thought for a while and said with a hint of helplessness: "I can help you search the Li Deshun Hotel, but you can't mess around.
, everything must be searched according to our rules."
Leiden decided to take a step back. After all, he couldn't afford to take the risk because the Japanese army entered the concession. No matter what happened in the future, he, the concession sergeant, would not be the first to suffer.
Seeing Layton agreeing, Kawashima Jinwu nodded with satisfaction. Anyway, the target of this little devil was just the underground party in the Li Deshun Hotel, so he gave the white police chief some face.
After the two people discussed it, they started to take people into the hotel, but they needed to communicate with the hotel manager before they could search.
When the Japanese entered the Li Deshun Hotel, Zhao Chengde and others also faced huge risks because the Japanese were chasing them and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Because there were many Japanese, and the constant exchange of fire between the two sides naturally attracted traitors from the surrounding area, Zhao Chengde and others were soon chased by the Japanese into an alley, facing a life and death crisis.
