He kept looking at Gong Binsheng, hoping that he could come up with a good idea and at least try harder! Whether he could succeed or not, he should at least try his best!
Gong Binsheng stared at him with the same stern eyes and gritted his teeth.
In fact, his thoughts were the same as Luo Jiang's, he also wanted to give his last effort! Otherwise, he would not be able to explain himself!
He stood up slowly and whispered: "Brother Luo, Brother Shao Yong, let's discuss it."
After he finished speaking, he went directly to Luo Jiang's office. Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong hurriedly followed in.
13-31
As soon as he entered, Gong Binsheng closed the door and stared at Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong sternly.
He almost gritted his teeth and said through his teeth: "Brother Luo, Brother Shao Yong, this matter must not pass like this! We must take some action!"
Luo Jiang stared at him calmly, "Brother Bin Sheng, if you have any orders, just tell me!"
Gong Binsheng nodded, but then said: "Brother Luo, what I am telling you now is the truth! It is what I want to say most in my heart! Please understand it correctly!"
Luo Jiang and Peng Shaoyong both nodded vigorously to him to express their understanding.
Gong Binsheng said: "First, if we don't take some action, drastic action, we won't be able to explain it to our superiors! Second, if we take the most powerful action, there may be a situation that we can't think of! What situation it is, I don't know!
It may be good, it may not be good! If it is good, it may be beneficial to our pharmaceutical mission!”
Luo Jiang's mind was spinning very fast. What Gong Binsheng said was exactly what he was thinking! If the situation was good, it would even be beneficial to their drug mission! Then, it would be possible to negotiate with the Japanese!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "Brother Hamao, I used to keep in touch with Inoue Hiaki. But it's strange recently that there is no news about Inoue!"
As soon as Peng Shaoyong heard that he mentioned Inoue Rizhao, he thought of Chen Zifeng's suspicion of him! But he dare not say anything now!
But Gong Binsheng's thinking is faster and more direct than theirs!
He said: "Brother Luo, there is no need to go looking for this Inoue yet. If our actions have good results, the Japanese may take the initiative to send people to contact us! Maybe, after negotiation, we can get some medicines back! What do you think?"
Luo Jiang understood, this was the truest thought in Gong Binsheng's heart! No more, no less, completing a part is also complete! This made it easier to explain to Boss Dai.
He nodded to Gong Binsheng, then turned back and stared at Peng Shaoyong, "Shaoyong, this is the situation, and you understand our thoughts! Do I still need to explain to you!"
Peng Shaoyong immediately nodded and said: "I understand! I will make arrangements when I get back and take action as soon as possible! The more ruthless the better!"
Luo Jiang smiled at him and said, "That's it! I will notify other brigades! But I hope your first brigade will achieve results first! Set an example for other brigades!"
Peng Shaoyong said: "Understood! I'm leaving!" He saluted the two officers, turned around and walked out!
What none of these three people expected was that the actions of Chen Zifeng's team were faster than the orders of the three officers!
13-32
To put it calmly, Chen Zifeng's team's attack on the International Hotel was a bit too fast!
As a result, such a simple surprise attack that the other party was completely unprepared for almost led to disaster!
In winter, it gets dark relatively early. Just after half past five, the sky is already dark.
The tall buildings and many shops near the International Hotel were already brightly lit. On the roofs, the neon lights on the door lintels flickered on, and the passing vehicles also turned on their headlights.
The outside of the International Hotel, set against the brilliant lights, already shows the prosperous scene of Shanghai.
The task of Chen Zifeng's team tonight is extremely simple, which is to cause some damage, stop the daily business of the International Hotel, and stop using the flowers in the greenhouse! If it goes smoothly, kill a few more Japanese, that's all.
So, sooner or later, it doesn’t matter to Chen Zifeng!
He brought out a total of eight team members, all of whom put on relatively clean and tidy clothes. They were now scattered near the International Hotel, waiting for his orders.
Just when Chen Zifeng saw that it was getting dark, he sent the action signal to the scattered team members.
They spread out and walked into the restaurant casually like guests entering a restaurant.
As soon as they entered the gate, they divided into two groups. One group walked directly to the stairs, preparing to go to the various conference halls on the second floor. The other group turned left and entered the corridor of the restaurant, preparing to attack the Japanese who were eating.
!
It happened that at this time, six or seven Japanese officers were going to have dinner together in the restaurant today.
At this time, they had just entered a private room and were shaking hands, greeting each other, and making various jokes. They had not yet taken off their coats and weapons.
At this time, Chen Zifeng and several brothers had entered the corridor, each guarding a room, waiting for Chen Zifeng's order.
Chen Zifeng suddenly opened the sliding door of a single room. As soon as he saw clearly that the person sitting on the tatami was a Japanese, he immediately opened fire!
As soon as his gunshot rang out, other brothers also opened the sliding door and shot at the Japanese inside!
In the innermost part, the officers who were chatting were frightened, but they immediately retreated to the wall and reached out to pull out the guns in their waists!
At this moment, Yang Sanqiang opened the door, pointed his pistol at them, and fired.
Two officers were shot and fell down one after another. But the other officers shouted and ran for cover while raising their guns and shooting at Yang Sanqiang at the door. Yang Sanqiang shot inside while retreating to avoid the bullets.
As soon as Chen Zifeng heard such fierce gunshots coming from there, he knew there was trouble inside. He ran inside.
The officer in the private room stuck his head out from the door and fired. Bullets were flying in all directions in the small corridor.
Chen Zifeng fired continuously at the door of the single room, suppressing the Japanese officers in the private room! At this time, he became a little anxious. He could not retreat now because there was no explosion from upstairs! The focus of today's action was upstairs.
!
13-33
Something unexpected happened upstairs as well. A meeting was being held in one of the three conference halls.
Qiao Yanfang rushed in and saw that people from China seemed to be having a meeting inside. She shot in the air, causing chaos in the conference hall. Everyone screamed and ran out, but they were suddenly crowded at the door and couldn't escape!
Wei Jiechen and Li San outside the door had already heard the gunshots coming from downstairs. Time was extremely urgent! They struggled to open another door, pulled the people out, and yelled at them to run!
This process took a full three minutes!
13-34
Chen Zifeng was extremely anxious downstairs. He shot continuously at the officers inside while counting the time in his mind. He knew that the patrolling military police would arrive soon, and in that case, they would be in danger!
At this time, he finally heard continuous explosions coming from upstairs.
Upstairs, the people in the meeting finally ran out. Qiao Yanfang, Wei Jiechen and others kept throwing their hands into the conference hall.
When the gun exploded, all the window glass was blown to pieces and flew outside! The hall was filled with smoke and dust, and fragments of furniture flew in all directions.
Pedestrians on the street outside looked at the flying broken glass in horror, heard the continuous explosions, and screamed.
The men and women in the hotel were running out like crazy, all the way to the street.
Suddenly there was a sound of horns and brakes on the street. Everyone shouted in terror and ran in all directions.
In the distance, the patrolling military police were roaring and rushing towards us.
In the hotel, Chen Zifeng finally heard the explosion upstairs, which made Chen Zifeng breath a sigh of relief! He took out his gun and threw it towards the door of the private room, shouting: "Evacuate! Evacuate! Evacuate quickly!"
Following the continuous explosions, Chen Zifeng and others finally withdrew from the International Hotel, wrapped in the shouting crowd, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
13-35
About half an hour later, Takahashi and Kawakami arrived with people.
At this time, things finally calmed down inside and outside the hotel. The police cordoned off the area and no one was allowed to approach.
The reporters took photos outside the cordon and asked people around them, hoping to dig up some more explosive information.
Inside and outside the hotel, it was a scene of tragedy after the war, with broken glass and broken furniture everywhere, and the most conspicuous thing was the blood stains.
Some injured people were being taken away by ambulances. The injured who had not yet been taken away were sitting on the steps and wailing.
Takahashi and Kawakami slowly looked around the hotel, and the situation in front of them made them angry and suspicious!
The hotel foreman and the military police officer who arrived at the hotel first introduced them to the situation at that time.
They all had great doubts about the situation in front of them.
It seems that the target of the raid by Chinese agents was the Japanese officers who came to eat. But those officers had just entered the single room and had not started eating yet.
How did the Chinese agents know that they were coming for dinner? They had been waiting outside the hotel for a long time. Did they follow them in? It seems impossible! Even the agents who carried out the assassination mission did not do this!
The situation in several halls on the second floor was even stranger, leaving them puzzled.
The foreman of the hotel said that those with guns threw guns into the conference hall after driving the people out of the meeting. Except for those who were injured from falling, no one who escaped from the hotel was shot!
It seems that the targets of the raid by Chinese agents were these three conference halls, not the people who came to the meeting!
Why? Why are they bombing these conference halls? It makes no sense!
Takahashi and Kawakami looked around, but they couldn't see the magic in it.
13-36
They returned to the Inoue Mansion and introduced what they saw to Mr. Sato.
Mr. Sato said with a cold expression: "They will never do useless work! They will never do anything unreasonable! It's just that we haven't found out the reason yet!"
They sat together and thought about it again and again, but still couldn't find the reason for this.
Sato said softly: "Takahashi-kun, I have a conclusion that the Chinese agents are going to retaliate against us! Just because we withheld their medicines!"
Takahashi sneered, "Don't they understand that we will definitely withhold the medicine! They should understand this!"
