A few minutes later, Liang Jinkai led several people into the ward. There was no one on the bed. He reached out and touched the bed. It was still warm, and immediately turned back and walked out.
He said to the brothers beside him: "The man is not far away! Let's go look for him separately!"
The few soldiers in plainclothes walked away without saying a word. Some turned into other corridors, some went into the nurse's office or the bathroom. Others were checking wards one by one, looking for Geng Jizhi.
When a nurse saw these people acting strangely, she shouted to them to go away, "This is the ward, okay, what are you doing in this room! Get out quickly! I'm going to report to the doctor!"
Liang Jinkai pushed her away and shouted: "We must find him everywhere! Find him for me!"
The ward area of Gongji Hospital is a three-story building with a square shape and a circular corridor.
He Baotian pushed Geng Jizhi around in a hurry and couldn't find a way out after walking half a circle. They also heard shouts coming from everywhere, and they were already frightened.
They panicked and hurriedly turned into a small corridor. They saw that at the end of the small corridor was the fire staircase.
Geng Jizhi turned around and said: "Quick! Quick! Let's go down the fire stairs!"
He Baotian pushed Geng Jizhi and was about to escape to the door of the fire staircase, when two people walked out of the door.
Geng Ji recognized them at a glance. They were Mr. Lanting and one of his men.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Mr. Lanting, Mr. Lanting, help me quickly! Help me quickly!"
Kawakami also came to see Geng Jizhi. As soon as he heard about the gunfight on Fengtian Road, Geng Jizhi escaped death. Then he heard that the "Business Daily" newspaper office was set on fire, so he knew that Geng Jizhi was in danger!
Agents from the Chinese intelligence agency will definitely look for him! He may cause trouble for himself!
On the other hand, although he has little use value, he is Mayor Yu's English secretary after all, and he may be useful in the future!
He discussed it with Qiujin and immediately rushed to Gongji Hospital with Hengtai.
What he didn't expect was that he would meet him here!
Just at this moment, a shout came from the entrance of the small corridor, "Sir, sir, he is here! Come quickly!"
Kawakami looked up, and Geng Jizhi and He Baotian turned back in fear. They both saw a man in plainclothes holding a gun in his hand, pointing at them and shouting.
In just an instant, Liang Jinkai rushed over with several people.
They all raised their guns and pointed them at Geng Jizhi, Kawakami and others.
Kawakami and Yokota pulled out their guns completely subconsciously and pointed them at Liang Jinkai and the others.
Liang Jinkai shouted angrily: "Put down your gun!"
Liang Jinkai did not know Kawakami and did not know who he was.
But Kawakami knew Liang Jinkai! In the "Demon Sword Plan" formulated by the teacher, this Liang Jinkai was also an important part! This was the first thing that Kawakami thought of. Secondly, this Liang Jinkai was a soldier! At this time, he had another
Hold on to the gun! There is absolutely no need for him to start a war with Liang Jinkai for Geng Jizhi and He Baotian!
He slowly raised the gun in his hand high and spread his three fingers to indicate that he had no intention of shooting.
Geng Jizhi was completely frightened when he saw this action.
He whispered: "Mr. Lanting, Mr. Lanting, save me!"
Liang Jinkai stared at Kawakami, not knowing who he was or why he behaved this way.
While he was hesitating, he saw the man suddenly turned his gun and pointed it at Geng Jizhi's forehead. Before anyone could react, he fired. Then, he put the gun against He Baotian's temple and fired another shot.
gun!
The gunfire was deafening in this narrow corridor! Their blood spattered on the wall one after another.
Liang Jinkai and others looked at him in shock, wondering what he meant.
Kawakami sneered and stared at Liang Jinkai, slowly put away the gun, turned around, entered the small door of the fire stairway, and disappeared.
Liang Jinkai rushed to the small door, only to hear a burst of fast footsteps coming from the stairs, and soon fell silent.
He looked back at Geng Jizhi and another person he didn't know. They were already dead. As for why the two men beat them to death just now, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know! This Geng Jizhi was a traitor! He deserved to die!
At this time, the whole hospital was in chaos, and there were screams everywhere. He had to leave as soon as possible!
He waved to the soldiers, entered the fire stairs, and quickly left the Gongji Hospital.
17-16
At about 3:30 in the afternoon, Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong finally drove to Zhenru Town.
Zhenru Town is located in the western suburbs of Shanghai, with crisscrossing rivers, rippled fields, golden rice paddies, and an idyllic scenery.
But once they entered Zhenru Town and the road they were traveling was parallel to the Beijing-Shanghai Railway, both Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong saw signs of war.
Checkpoints were set up at all intersections and barbed wire roadblocks were placed across the intersections. Soldiers checked passing vehicles and pedestrians.
In the fields in the distance, running soldiers were setting up telephone lines. On the nearby hills, soldiers holding telescopes were observing into the distance. From time to time, military vehicles covered with canvas drove past on the road. It looked like a war was imminent.
.
According to the instructions of the soldiers at the checkpoint, they did not go south to Zhenru Town, but drove straight to Jinan University.
When he arrived at the gate of Jinan University, Luo Jiang realized how special this place was.
To the south of Jinan University is the east-west Beijing-Shanghai Railway. Less than one kilometer to the east is the north-south Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway. The strategic position here is extremely important!
The gate of Jinan University is tall and spacious, and the lintel decorated with horizontal stripes reads "National Jinan University" in six large characters in regular script. The officer guarding the door checked their documents again and instructed them to turn left after entering.
They drove into the campus on potholed and muddy roads that had been crushed by passing military vehicles.
Except for the soldiers, there are no students or teachers in the university. In terms of time, they are on summer vacation.
Following the instructions of the soldiers on duty on the roadside, they finally drove to the office building of Jinan University.
The office building was a three-story building in the shape of a square. There was originally a large flower garden in the middle of the square, but now it had become a parking lot, filled with cars of all sizes. The soldiers instructed them to park their cars and motioned for them to go inside.
.
Entering the office building, to the left is the conference room. At the door of the conference room, the sentry checked their documents again and only allowed Luo Jiang to enter. Peng Shaoyong and Li San had to go to the lounge next to them and watch the officers and officials entering the conference room.
them.
Luo Jiang entered the conference room and looked around. An officer ran over, asked his name, and asked him to sit down at the end of the conference table. At this time, some people were already sitting at the table.
He looked at the people at the table, several of whom he knew. He nodded to them in turn.
The first person he met was Wang Jingjiu, commander of the 87th Division of the National Army.
Commander Wang has a standard appearance of a senior general of the national army, with sharp cheekbones and forehead, chin and cheeks as cold as ice, and his eyes are firm and powerful, giving him quite a military power.
He was in the first batch of Huangpu and the first batch of Army University. In the national army, he was famous for his bravery in combat and was seriously injured many times.
The characteristic of Commander Wang is that he has a high self-esteem and has never been satisfied with his position. This has been the case since he became a company commander. He is thirty-five years old this year and is already a lieutenant general and division commander! He commands the most senior officer in the national army. The elite 87th Division was reorganized, its predecessor was the 1st Central Guard Division!
When Luo Jiang thought of this, he felt a little sad. He was also thirty-five years old this year, but he was only a colonel. However, his highest officer, Director Dai Li of the Secret Service, did not even have a military rank, so he had nothing to say. Already.
Another person he knew at the table was Song Xilian, commander of the 36th Division of the National Army.
This Commander Song is younger, and he looks like a handsome young general. He has a fair and handsome face, his head is neatly parted, and his straight general uniform is neat and well-fitted, which further reflects his straight-shouldered military character. style.
Like Wang Jingjiu, he is also a first-year graduate of Huangpu and Army University. The difference is that he is also a graduate of the Army Infantry School in Chiba, Japan.
He is just thirty years old this year! But he is already a lieutenant general and division commander. He is truly a proud man in his prime!
However, another thing Luo Jiang knew was that this man had been a member of the Chinese Communist Party in his early years. Although he had not been a member for a long time and few people knew about it, he knew.
Another question in Luo Jiang's mind is that the 36th Division of the National Army is currently far away in Xi'an. How could Song Xilian, who is also the security commander of Xi'an, appear here?
Sitting next to Song Xilian was Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division of the National Army.
Sun Yuanliang is tall, with a rectangular face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance. He is sitting next to Mr. Song and whispers to him. But his laughter is very loud. He is also in the first phase of Huangpu and is only thirty-three this year. Year old, lieutenant general and division commander, the same as the previous two.
Luo Jiang remembered another interesting little thing. When Mr. Sun applied for the Whampoa Military Academy, according to regulations, he had to be a member of the Kuomintang. Do you know who introduced him to join the Kuomintang? It was Li Dazhao, the early leader of the Communist Party of China! Interesting, right?
Commander Sun's 88th Division was stationed in Wuxi at this time.
Seeing these three lieutenant generals and division commanders, Luo Jiang felt like he was in another world. They had so many similarities. They were both from the Huangpu Phase 1, and they were both lieutenant generals and division commanders. The troops they commanded were newly reorganized by the National Army. Three of the ten German Arms Divisions are currently the most elite troops of the national army.
But the most similar thing is that they all participated in the "Songhu Anti-Japanese War" on January 28, 1932!
At that time, General Zhang Zhizhong, today's commander of the Beijing-Shanghai Garrison Command, was the commander of the Fifth Army of the National Army and the commander of the 87th Division. Wang Jingjiu was the deputy commander of the 87th Division. Song Xilian was the commander of the division. The major general commander of the 261st Brigade, Sun Yuanliang, is the major general commander of the 259th Brigade of the division.
That was five years ago! They were the youngest young officers!
They all fought bloody battles in that battle, severely inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, and became famous in one battle! Among them, the Battle of Temple Walk shocked China and foreign countries, and was highly praised by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
