Sato Takuto used up his last bit of strength and finally rushed to the side of the car. Kawakami used all his strength to put him into the car. The other brothers got in the car. The car immediately roared forward and rushed forward.
Luo Jiang was also waiting in this area. As soon as he heard gunshots nearby, he immediately understood that it was the old beggar rushing out.
He ran desperately towards the place where the gunshots were fired, and ordered the soldiers to get on the truck. The two trucks started, collecting soldiers along the way, and followed the black car.
This area is a war zone, and there are very few roads that can drive cars. The broken bricks and tiles of collapsed houses blocked many roads. There are only relatively wide roads, and cars can barely pass in the middle.
Luo Jiang was sitting in the cab of the truck, staring ahead. The smoke and dust swirling in front of him pointed the way for him!
The truck occasionally skirted the craters in the road, bumping forward over the broken bricks and tiles everywhere.
Luo Jiang glared at the people in front of him and gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that the old beggar had escaped from this area!
That bastard Chen Zifeng is really cunning! When the old beggar was kidnapped by the Japanese, that guy was here to hijack the back car! Now, he actually waited for the old beggar to come out!
Such subordinates are very smart and capable, but they are indeed a bit scary!
During the past three days, when he led his soldiers to wait here, he would often think about what he would do with Chen Zifeng and the more cunning Xiao Ancheng! They are all guys with a bone in the back of their head!
The truck drove onto Old Target Range Road, then headed south, onto Sichuan Road, and then continued southward!
The road here is wider and the car is driving faster. The road ahead is filled with smoke and dust, indicating that the old beggar's car is taking this road! Luo Jiang keeps urging the driver to speed up.
Finally, he saw the black car bouncing on the rubble and among the craters in front of him.
He shouted to the driver: "That's the car in front, catch up!"
27-31
At this time, Chen Zifeng had learned from Li San the direction in which the old beggar had escaped, and immediately led his men in pursuit.
When they got to the national army position, they learned from some soldiers that someone was indeed running from here. It seemed that someone was blocking them from the front, but they were not stopped. The people who were running away and those who were chasing them all drove away in cars.
Chen Zifeng and Peng Shaoyong couldn't help but look at each other. They both realized that the person blocking the front might be Luo Jiang!
When Chen Zifeng thought of this, it was nothing. If it was really Luo Jiang who was being intercepted, it would at least alleviate his suspicion!
But Peng Shaoyong became a little worried when he thought of this. Luo Jiang obviously heard something else from his report. In other words, he never deceived Luo Jiang at all! If Luo Jiang catches the old beggar, it will make him even more self-conscious. Stupid!
They stopped a truck transporting ammunition on the road, forced the Nationalist soldiers driving the truck at gunpoint, and then turned around and chased it!
They saw Qiao Yanfang running forward on the road and immediately pulled her into the truck.
Qiao Yanfang pointed ahead and shouted: "This is the road! Keep chasing him! Don't let him run away!"
27-32
The old beggar Sato was forced into the car by Kawakami, which caused severe pain all over his body and almost passed out. It took him ten minutes to catch his breath after running wildly.
The cunning and cunning of the Chinese agents still surprised him! He looked back with difficulty and saw many Chinese soldiers sitting on trucks, chasing after them. They actually had the trucks ready!
However, by this time, he was no longer too worried. In his escape plan, he took into account the possibility of pursuers! The cunning Chinese people actually guessed his route and set up an ambush in front of him!
It's so abominable!
Sato thought in his mind that he had almost taken the second step! As long as he took the third step, he would be completely safe!
Kawakami sat in front and directed the driver to go south along Sichuan Road.
After the car crossed the Suzhou River, there were pedestrians on the street. Kawakami was furious, how could there be so many Chinese people!
The driver honked the horn hard and rushed forward as fast as he could.
The car continued south from Sichuan Road, turned east at the Laobei Gate of Nanshi onto Minguo Road, and drove at a fast pace until it finally arrived at the Yali Bar at the intersection of Longtan Road.
This is the second foothold designated by Sato! Once here, his second step is completely completed!
At this time, Qiujin was standing in front of the Yali Bar. She saw the speeding car from a distance and turned back to signal the bartender to open the bar door.
27-33
Sato, Kawakami and others got out of the car and quickly walked into the bar.
There were no customers in the bar. Several waiters in the bar were guarding the windows with rifles and pistols.
Sato staggered and could hardly walk. He reluctantly sat down at the table and shouted: "Move the radio station out!"
The bartender who came in later rushed into the small office, took out the radio from the closet, and placed it on the dining table outside the counter. He quickly connected the power supply, turned it on to warm up, then put on the headphones, put his fingers on the keys, and looked back
With Sato.
Sato said: "Send a report to Commander Hasegawa."
The bartender started calling Commander Hasegawa's radio. After a moment, he turned back and said, "It's on."
Sato said: "Sato to Your Excellency, Commander Hasegawa, I have arrived in Yali safely and am waiting to be received."
A few minutes later, the bartender received a call back. He handed the copied message to Akitsu.
Akitsu read the telegram and turned back and said: "Teacher, Commander Hasegawa called back and the Qingjin has docked at Shiliupu Pier. I saw with my binoculars that naval soldiers are disembarking. They will arrive at Yali in half an hour at the latest.
I've opened the wine bottle, don't keep me waiting too long."
Sato burst out laughing, "This old guy only knows how to drink! I can't wait any longer!"
Akitsu and Kawakami both looked at him with smiles. The teacher's wisdom is truly unparalleled!
Sato looked at them and said: "Okay then, you block the front and back doors! I'll wait here for half an hour! I estimate that the troops to support me will arrive soon! But the Chinese soldiers are also arriving soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a brother ran over and said: "They are coming, they are coming! They just got off the bus!"
Sato, Kawakami and Akitsu all walked to the window and looked into the distance. Sure enough, some Chinese soldiers jumped out of the truck and, under the command of the officer, walked towards Yali Bar with rifles in hand.
Kawakami turned back to Akitsu and said: "My front door, your back door."
Qiu Jin nodded and took the bartender and two other brothers to the back door.
27-34
The back door is in the kitchen and leads to a narrow alley. There are two windows in the kitchen facing the alley.
The bartender and others had set up their rifles at the window and stared outside. The bartender turned around and pointed outside to Akitsu.
Qiujin walked over and saw some Chinese soldiers running into the alley, hiding in corners or door openings, holding rifles at the back door of Yali Bar. She understood that they had been surrounded by Chinese soldiers!
There were many Chinese soldiers outside. She was worried about whether she could protect the teacher from danger!
27-35
Luo Jiang was extremely cautious. He saw that the soldiers had surrounded the bar, and then he got out of the truck.
The dusty black car was parked outside the bar. He believed that the old beggar and his men were hiding in this bar! He asked a few passers-by at random.
A passerby waved his arms exaggeratedly and shouted: "Oh, they are so fierce! They are all carrying guns! They rushed into the bar as soon as they got off the car! I saw it clearly, and I was not wrong at all.
!”
"How many are there?" Luo Jiang stared at him and asked.
"How many people can fit in one car? Not many! There are four or five people! I can't see clearly," the man said.
Luo Jiang looked around. This bar is on the southeast corner of Minguo Road and Longtan Road. The location is very obvious.
He judged that this was the place he had chosen to stay! Maybe there was someone waiting for the old beggar in the bar.
However, he brought a company of soldiers with him, so there should be no problem!
What made him a little doubtful was why the old beggar stopped here instead of continuing to run away!
However, when he thought of the nearby Shiliupu Pier, he became worried. The Japanese navy parked on the Huangpu River might come to meet him! Perhaps, this was the reason why he stopped here!
He said to the leading officer: "Come in and arrest them all! If anyone resists, beat him to death!"
As soon as the Nationalist soldiers approached the bar, shots were fired inside, and two Nationalist soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
The national army company commander was furious and ordered machine gun fire.
Two machine guns fired fiercely into the bar. The glass on the windows of the bar shattered to the floor, the bricks on the walls were broken, and the eaves collapsed. The entire bar was shrouded in smoke and dust.
27-36
In the bar, Kawakami helped Mr. Sato into a corner. Afterwards, he shot out the window while avoiding the hail of bullets, rolled and crawled, and finally passed through the kitchen to the back door.
At the back door, Akitsu, the bartender and others were shooting out of the window to block the attacking Chinese soldiers.
Kawakami hid behind the corner and waved to Akitsu by the window.
Qiu Jin quickly ran to him, stared at him and asked: "What are you doing!"
Kawakami said: "How is it outside here?"
Qiu Jin said: "You will know if you look at it!"
Kawakami nodded, "After a while, I will fight hard in front, then protect the teacher and rush out through the back door! Go directly to Shiliupu Pier! Do you understand?"
Akitsu said loudly: "Okay, I get it!"
Kawakami nodded to him and rushed towards the front door again.
There was a burst of fierce machine gun fire outside. The brother by the window was shot and fell to the ground. Blood flowed from his head and spread on the ground.
Akitsu picked up his rifle and continued shooting.
The Chinese soldiers outside did not dare to rush forward. As soon as they rushed over, they would be knocked down by Akitsu's rifle! Her marksmanship was very accurate, almost one shot at a time!
At this time, she heard violent gunfire and explosions from the front door. She believed that this was Kawakami launching a counterattack! In a few minutes, the teacher would rush here!
However, five minutes later, the gunshots from the front door gradually became sparse and finally stopped, but the teacher and Kawakami did not come over. Akitsu couldn't help but feel alarmed. She jumped up suddenly and ran towards the front door.
