Chapter five hundred and forty first turning the corner
At this time, Zhao Chengde was very anxious and didn't know what to do. After all, the current situation was too dangerous.
What Zhao Chengde didn't know was that there were Japanese blocking the road in front of the alley. Even if he ran to the end of the alley, it would be difficult for him to escape with the overseas Chinese.
Along with Zhao Chengde, there was another underground party member who protected the overseas Chinese. However, this person was seriously injured, but he was still holding on through gritted teeth with his firm perseverance.
Several other overseas Chinese also knew that the situation was not good. As they ran, they asked: "Mr. Zhao, what should we do? The Japanese are getting closer and closer."
Since the overseas Chinese had not received military training, they were already out of breath after running for so long. If they did not want to be caught by the Japanese, they would not be able to run anymore.
Zhao Chengde had no choice but continued to encourage the overseas Chinese: "If we persist a little longer, we can get rid of the Japanese by running through this alley."
Zhao Chengde's words clearly lacked confidence, because he also knew that with the physical strength of these overseas Chinese, they would definitely not be able to outrun the Japanese agents.
Zhao Chengde was now ready to kill Cheng Ren. He planned to run across the intersection and let the overseas Chinese leave, leaving him alone to break up the rear.
At this time, something unexpected happened, because the injured underground party member could no longer hold on, so he fell to the ground. After all, he was hit in the chest by a bullet and suffered serious injuries.
Seeing his companion fall, Zhao Chengde immediately stopped, then helped his companion up and encouraged: "Hold on a little longer, let's..."
"Comrade Chengde, you take them away, I'll stay and break up the rear!"
The underground party member who fell was very weak at this time, and his upper body was covered in blood, which dyed his entire clothes red.
Although he was injured, this underground party member spoke firmly and had a look of resignation on his face.
"How can this be done? Let's go together. The party organization must never give up on any comrade!"
Of course, Zhao Chengde would not leave the wounded to die, as that would be tantamount to letting his comrades die. Moreover, in his heart, the injured comrades were still very young and should save their precious lives and contribute to the party organization for a few more years.
What's more, Zhao Chengde had already made up his mind to cut off the queen himself. After all, he was not injured. If he stayed to cut off the queen, there would still be a glimmer of life.
"Comrade Chengde, I can't run away and I can't harm you. Listen to me and leave quickly. I'll cover you."
The injured underground party member spoke in a very anxious tone, and looked into Zhao Chengde's eyes with a bit of pleading, wanting him to leave quickly.
The wounded man understood his situation and knew that he could not run away because he had lost too much blood. If he had not relied on his firm will to hold on, he would have fallen down long ago.
Therefore, this person has made preparations and intends to stay and fight for the future to give his comrades a chance to survive.
"No, you are still young. Even if you have to stay and cover, I should be the one to do it!"
Zhao Chengde will never leave an injured brother behind. After all, this old party member has his own persistence.
The overseas Chinese on the side were very moved when they saw the comradeship between the two. One of them, a young man in his twenties, took the initiative to step forward and said calmly: "Come up quickly, I will carry you on my back."
After finishing speaking, he walked up to the injured underground party member, bent his knees, and bowed his body slightly, intending to carry the injured person with him.
"No, please leave quickly. If it's too late, none of us will be able to leave."
The wounded man's words were intermittent, but he was very determined. After all, he knew that the Japanese were chasing behind him. With the physical strength of these overseas Chinese, they would not be able to escape no matter what, while carrying a wounded man.
"careful."
Just as Zhao Chengde was about to say something, he saw seven or eight men in black appearing in front of the alley.
The men in black were all armed and short in stature. They looked Japanese at first glance, so they immediately alerted their companions.
As soon as Zhao Chengde finished speaking, the men in black on the opposite side opened fire. However, these Japanese people may have planned to capture them alive, so they raised their guns higher and did not aim at the people.
But even so, because there were too many Japanese, Zhao Chengde and others were suppressed. They could not raise their heads and could only lie on the ground and occasionally fire a few shots.
Now Zhao Chengde has made up his mind to die. After all, there are obstacles in front and pursuers in the back. However, there are only two combatants on his side, and one of them is injured and cannot rush out at all.
However, Zhao Chengde was also hesitant, not knowing how to treat the remaining overseas Chinese, because these overseas Chinese knew the location of the safe house and would definitely expose others once they were captured by the Japanese.
What's more, these overseas Chinese are ordinary people, and their willpower is definitely not good. As long as they are caught by the Japanese, they will speak quickly. Other comrades in the party organization may not even have time to react.
When Zhao Chengde hesitated, the pursuers behind him also rushed over. After all, they were not far apart, but these Japanese wanted to catch them alive, so they were spending their time here, planning to wait until Zhao Chengde and the two were out of bullets.
Go and arrest him again.
Seeing the Japanese coming up from behind, Zhao Chengde sighed in his heart, thinking that he was doomed this time and there would be no chance of escape. After all, there were already more than a dozen Japanese in front and behind him.
Death is not an unacceptable thing for this old party member, because when Zhao Chengde joined the party organization again, he was already prepared to sacrifice. After all, he had a firm belief.
But seeing these overseas Chinese falling into the hands of the Japanese, this old party member was very sad, especially the chain reaction that would cause Zhao Chengde.
Seeing the underground party surrounded in the middle, the Japanese were very proud. While firing, they said: "Hurry up and surrender. The imperial army promises not to harm your lives."
Some of the Japanese who caught up were in the special higher education courses and were naturally proficient in Chinese, so they started shouting. After all, catching a few alive was much better than getting a few corpses.
But the answer to the Japanese was two bullets. After all, two underground party members had already expressed their determination to die. How could they surrender?
Seeing that the other party shot without hesitation, the Japanese agent knew that the other party was determined, so he became angry.
However, the credit for catching him alive was huge, so these agents could only be patient, persuading and shooting at the same time.
Persuasion is also a means. Although it cannot achieve the goal, it can still disturb the other party's mind. Japanese agents are rich in experience and will naturally not do useless work.
Listening to the Japanese's constant persuasion, Zhao Chengde felt a little upset. He now understood that the Japanese wanted to capture them alive, so he made a bold move, standing up and shooting at the Japanese.
After all, Zhao Chengde is not afraid of death, so he plans to fight tooth and nail. Anyway, he will kill every one he can.
Another underground party member also stood up and fought against the Japanese. However, he was seriously injured. He was able to survive until now only because of his strong willpower. Therefore, even if he wanted to fight, his physical fitness was not good enough.
Not allowed, causing the bullet to miss.
The desperate efforts of the two men immediately caused casualties to the Japanese. Due to the short distance, two Japanese were soon hit by Zhao Chengde on the spot and immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing the two people working hard, the Japanese were also anxious, but they still didn't want to kill them. After all, their purpose was to catch them alive.
After this hesitation, two more people were hit by bullets, making the person in charge of the team's eyes red.
The person in charge of the little devil was about to tell his men not to show mercy when he heard a burst of rapid gunfire.
The sound of the gunshot is very clear, and all the sounds are the same. People with some experience will know it is a Browning pistol when they hear it.
As Browning's gunfire rang out, the Japanese in the alley, whether they were blocking the front or chasing Zhao Chengde in, soon fell to the ground. After all, they were attacked from behind, and of course they could not recover.
After more than ten Japanese fell to the ground, a cold voice came out: "Replenish your guns and retreat immediately."
As this sound rang out, more than a dozen gunshots were heard in the alley again. All the Japanese who fell on the ground were shot again in fatal positions.
This sudden change surprised and delighted Zhao Chengde. After all, it was so exciting to be able to escape from death.
When he heard Browning's gunfire coming from behind the Japanese, Zhao Chengde became excited and knew that things had turned around.
Zhao Chengde was very experienced. Hearing the sound of gunfire, he confirmed that there were reinforcements. Then he looked forward and behind, and found that three or four people appeared behind the Japanese.
Seeing that there were not many people, Zhao Chengde was a little disappointed, thinking that these reinforcements would be in danger. After all, more than a dozen Japanese were not easy to deal with.
However, Zhao Chengde was very surprised by the performance of the reinforcements. It took only seven or eight people to kill all the Japanese in three strikes, five divisions and two.
Although there was a reason for a sneak attack, and the weapons were Browning pistols that were good for close combat, this ability was also outstanding. After all, without accurate marksmanship, the Japanese would not have been able to be defeated so easily.
In particular, the people who came here were skilled in their movements. After taking care of the Japanese, they gave everyone a shot. This behavior made Zhao Chengde sure that those who came were all elite troops.
Just when Zhao Chengde was thinking about his thoughts, a smiling voice came: "Mr. Zhao, we meet again, but looking at you, you look quite miserable."
Hearing this voice, Zhao Chengde felt that it was very familiar. He immediately looked up and said in surprise: "How could it be you."
There was a very surprised tone in Zhao Chengde's tone, because he wanted to kill him, but he didn't expect the other party to help him. After all, more than a dozen people were powerful, and anyone who could fight against them would not be able to risk it.
Small danger.
Especially at this time, the Japanese were conducting a vigorous search, and the other party's situation was not very good. Taking such a big risk to help Zhao Chengde was really surprised, and he also had an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
