As soon as the gunfire rang out, Jiang Xinyu knew something was wrong. From the window, he saw Li Xiance jump out of the car, and then a car with a Japanese military flag sped over.
"Commissioner, get in the car!" The person in the car opened the door and shouted loudly.
Li Xiance ran a few steps and just got into the car when six or seven Japanese soldiers suddenly rushed out of the station duty room, holding Type 38 rifles and squatting down, aiming at the car and shooting.
Lao Lu and three other people also jumped out of the car one after another, ran to the car, opened the door and got in.
Lao Lu gasped and said: "There is no one here, let's drive!"
Li Xiance asked: "Where is the other one?"
Lao Lu knew who he was asking, and said sadly: "Anzi is dead!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!……"
Amidst the gunfire from the pursuing soldiers, the driver stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away in the opposite direction of the train. That was the platform exit. As long as you got out of the platform, you were basically safe.
Before driving thirty meters away, a bullet hit the tire, causing the car to lose its balance and plunge into a ditch on the side of the road due to the speed.
Lao Lu and others opened the car door, used the car door as a cover, and fired back with guns, "Bang!" "Bang!"
"How do you practice your marksmanship? It's getting more and more accurate!" Just as Lao Lu was about to lean forward to fight back, a bullet hit the edge of the car door and almost hit him.
Li Xiance asked: "Why are there so many Japanese soldiers? Didn't you investigate in advance?"
The driver took out a piece of wire from his pocket, opened the handcuffs for Li Xiance, and said, "After investigation, there are usually only two railway policemen in the duty room. I don't know what happened today..."
Li Xiance understood, what else could be going on? Hattori Hikoo must have taken precautions in advance and notified the train stop station to be on heightened alert, waiting for the military commander to send someone to rescue him!
At this time, Sakai and his men also chased after him. Under his command, the rifles of the Japanese soldiers basically suppressed the firepower of the counterattack, and Li Xiance and the others gradually formed an encirclement.
"Special Commissioner, it is not an option to continue with this stalemate..."
"boom!"
A bullet was fired and shattered the car's glass, causing glass shards to scatter everywhere.
"There are not many enemies, let's run separately!"
"Yes! The Japanese are also afraid of death, and they don't dare to chase us alone!"
"Lao Lu, protect the special commissioner!"
"good!"
"I shouted one, two, three, and everyone opened fire together, and then rushed out!"
"good!"
"good!"
"one two three!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, the six people divided into three groups and ran in different directions, turning around and shooting to stop them.
Sakai ordered loudly: "Don't worry about other people, catching Li Song is the most important thing!"
Lao Lu said while running: "It's bad, the Japanese didn't fall for it..."
"boom!"
A bullet hit his calf. Lao Lu staggered and almost fell. Li Xiance quickly stretched out his hand to support him.
Lao Lu limped a few steps and said, "Commissioner, please run, I can't do it!"
He knew very well that he was injured and would definitely not be able to run away. The only thing he could do was to block the pursuers and cover the escape of the special commissioner.
Seeing the blood flowing down Lao Lu's trouser legs, he really couldn't hold on any longer. The situation was critical now, and Li Xiance couldn't allow him to think too much. He shook Lao Lu's hand hard and said, "Take care!"
Li Xiance walked around the back of the car and smelled the aroma of food. He often rode trains and knew that this was the location of the dining car kitchen.
It was now around six o'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. Li Xiance had an idea. He was unarmed. Instead of dying under the enemy's bullets, he might as well win once!
Thinking of this, before the Japanese soldiers caught up with him, he climbed over the rear railing of the train and reached out to pull the door. Fortunately, the carriage door was not locked.
The moment he turned around and closed the door, he heard the sound of gunshots like exploding beans coming from outside. Li Xiance knew that Lao Lu, dragging his injured leg, would not have any chance of escaping in the face of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers with extremely accurate marksmanship!
The place where Li Xiance came up was a room similar to a storage room. The shelves were stacked with various ingredients, flour, rice, soybean oil, various vegetables, bags of fruits, etc.
In addition to these things, there were several pieces of work clothes of dining car waiters hanging on the other wall. Li Xiance immediately took off his clothes and stuffed them under the shelves, then found a set of work clothes of a suitable size and put them on.
Then I peeked out through the crack in the door. Everyone was squatting on the ground, or hiding in places they thought were safe. A few brave ones lay in front of the windows and looked out.
Li Xiance quietly slipped out of the storage room when no one was paying attention.
In two minutes, no matter whether someone is arrested or not, the train must leave on time. There is only one railway line and it cannot always stop on the track, which affects the train schedule of the entire Pingjin Railway.
The Japanese plainclothes agents will definitely still search the car, but they will not search the rear of the car too quickly. As long as the train moves a certain distance, Li Xiance will be ready to find an opportunity to jump off the train.
It's definitely not good to stay in the storage room all the time. If someone goes in and out often, there's a high chance that you'll be discovered.
There were several food boxes placed in the corner of the kitchen, with the words "Only for meal delivery" written on them. Li Xiance reached out and picked up one, lowered his head and walked out.
Li Xiance had to leave the dining car. There were only five or six waiters here, and they must all know each other. If he found a stranger in uniform, his trick would be revealed.
There are only a few high-end private rooms on the train. Most of the people who can afford such tickets are powerful people. Even rich people may not be able to buy them.
The food boxes are prepared just for these people. If they want to eat or drink whatever they want, but don't want to eat in the dining car, they just need to ask the waiter who specializes in service, and someone will send it to them.
From the car's tires being punctured to Li Xiance and the others escaping in three directions, all these scenes fell into Jiang Xinyu's eyes.
When Li Xiance and Lao Lu walked around the back of the train, Jiang Xinyu felt strange. It was supposed that they should appear on the other side of the train, but these two people did not appear!
The rear of the car was a blind spot, and it was also invisible from inside the car. Jiang Xinyu could only judge by the sound of gunfire that the two sides were exchanging fire.
A few minutes later, the Japanese soldiers stopped shooting and slowly approached the rear of the car with their rifles raised. Jiang Xinyu felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that Li Xiance was killed?
"Xinyu, Xinyu..." Hattori Mina in the corner called Jiang Xinyu in a low voice.
Jiang Xinyu lowered his body, walked over quickly, and said, "What's wrong?"
Hattori Mina's face turned red and she whispered: "I have to go to the toilet..."
She had drank a large glass of soda before, and the sudden sound of gunshots made people feel very nervous. The more nervous she became, the more she wanted to go to the toilet.
