Chapter 242 Escape
He Nian and Chu Lingyun returned quickly. Jiang Tengkong and others had already left the restaurant. According to the people who were following them, they went directly to the house they had rented before.
Moreover, when they returned this time, they did not take any anti-tracking actions, which further confirmed the previous speculation of a trap.
"What is the enemy doing now?"
He Nian asked immediately, and Liu Wannian replied immediately: "They have placed two secret sentries far away from the rented house. It seems that they plan to be on duty all night."
The two secret sentries failed to hide their whereabouts. Now that these Japanese spies have gathered again, it is not a favorable opportunity to capture them like before. It is useless for Liu Wannian to be anxious.
"Keep an eye on them, and the others go back and rest."
Henian issued the latest order. They had discussed it together when they were in the director's office. Even if they wanted to take action, they had to wait until daytime.
It is inconvenient to move at night, and there is a high possibility of accidentally hurting Jiang Tengkong. In addition, if the Japanese find that they cannot escape at night, they will fight to the death.
Killing them all is not the goal. This time we must not only severely injure them but also keep the rose.
"yes."
Liu Wannian did not ask any further questions and had no choice but to accept the order. Even if he asked, the section chief would not tell him.
Chu Lingyun came here early the next morning. He did not go back at night and stayed at the surveillance point.
The case that the director personally investigated deserves his attention.
"Lingyun, we've tracked down all sixteen Japanese spies. Two secret guards are at the farthest point, and two more are hiding on the roof. Based on our investigation, they're likely snipers, just waiting for you to show up."
When he saw Chu Lingyun, He Nian said quietly that he was a little surprised that the Japanese had deployed snipers. It seemed that this time the Japanese were determined to kill Chu Lingyun at all costs.
"Chief, where are the rest of them?"
He Nian said, "Four people went to the city gate, probably to provide support. Two people were in the house with Jiang Tengkong, and the other five were lying in ambush opposite the house."
The Japanese had set up ambushes from all sides, waiting for Chu Lingyun to show up.
If they hadn't known their plan in advance and knew that Jiang Tengkong was here, there was a high possibility that Chu Lingyun would lead the team to show up, and they would have had a chance of succeeding.
"Section Chief, prepare for action."
Chu Lingyun nodded slightly. The enemy's deployment was completely under their control, and now the enemy could be said to be led by them.
"Okay, you must be careful."
He Nian gave another reminder. He originally did not recommend Chu Lingyun to show up. Since the enemy deliberately exposed himself, they could take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack and severely damage them.
But Chu Lingyun suggested that he should show up once to make the Japanese think that there was no problem with their plan, so as to better protect Rose.
In the end, the director agreed to Chu Lingyun's plan, and Henian had no choice but to obey.
Loach received a secret order. He would be responsible for leading people to attack Jiang Tengkong's hiding place, but he must not endanger Jiang Tengkong.
Jiang Tengkong must escape alive.
Acting? This loach is best at it, but he has to lead the team himself, and a firefight is inevitable. He feels a little uneasy when he thinks about it.
Although he was acting, the enemy didn't know that and bullets had no eyes, so he still had to be careful.
Fortunately, everyone knows Loach's character, so if he lets him go, no one will suspect anything.
In order to keep it secret, Loach borrowed a dozen people from Chu Yuan on the pretext that all his own men were busy. This time he brought Chu Yuan's men, who were not aware of the situation and only obeyed Loach's orders.
Many of Loach's men have seen Jiang Tengkong, so he cannot take them with him.
Chu Lingyun was in the car, bringing his men to the vicinity of Jiang Tengkong.
If he didn't come after receiving the news, the Japanese would be suspicious, which is why he had to show up.
The Japanese who were secretly following them noticed Chu Lingyun and his group.
Near them, Chu Lingyun deliberately got out of the car to talk to others. The Japanese sentry saw Chu Lingyun's appearance clearly and immediately sent out the signal agreed in advance.
Their signals are very simple, but very effective.
They light a fire in the kitchen to boil water, and when the smoke rises, the person in charge of observation in the distance will receive their signal and understand that the target has appeared. The sniper will also notice the signal and prepare to shoot.
Upon receiving the signal, Kono Kobayashi was shocked.
Jiang Tengkong's plan was indeed good and it really attracted Chu Lingyun out.
They have already prepared the escape route, just waiting to kill Chu Lingyun, complete the mission, and have everyone evacuate the city.
This time, Kono Kobayashi not only has to kill people, but also has to escape successfully with his own people to let the section chief see the capabilities of their action team.
After Chu Lingyun got back into the car, the car slowly drove to the house where Jiang Tengkong was hiding, but at an intersection, the car stopped and Chu Lingyun did not show up.
The two snipers on the roof couldn't see anyone and didn't dare to act rashly.
In another house, He Nian received the news that Chu Lingyun was in position and immediately ordered: "Move."
Liu Wannian, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately led his men out.
Before him, Loach had already brought his men to quietly approach the house where Jiang Tengkong lived in seclusion. Kono Kobayashi noticed them, but Chu Lingyun never showed up, so he could only suppress his restlessness and wait.
A secret sentry was successfully subdued by Liu Wannian's men, and the first one was captured alive.
The two snipers had no idea that they, the mantis catching the cicada, had already been targeted by the oriole.
"Bang."
A gunshot was suddenly heard, and Kono Kobayashi was startled. This was not his sniper's gun. He didn't know what had happened, but he understood that something unexpected had happened.
The snipers did not fire, and it was not even their guns that made the sound. It was very likely that the action had been leaked, and the only option left was to storm.
But no matter what, Chu Lingyun has appeared, which is good news. As long as Chu Lingyun can be killed, the mission can be completed.
"Come with me."
Kono Kobayashi shouted in Japanese, and as soon as the gunshots were heard, the people on Loach's side immediately threw smoke bombs into the house where Jiang Tengkong lived. Jiang Tengkong and two operatives hid at the door after hearing the gunshots.
"Baga, smoke bomb."
One of the team members cursed angrily. The smoke from the smoke bomb was rising very quickly, and they had to rush out as soon as possible, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to escape in the thick fog.
By then, they will either be shot to death or captured alive.
Jiang Tengkong didn't want to leave, but the two men had already pulled him out without any explanation. Loach had already given the order that no one was allowed to shoot without his permission. After the three men ran out of the house, he shouted loudly: "Chase, don't shoot randomly, catch them alive."
Loach has good acting skills. He looks more like he is frightened. Many of Chu Yuan's team members are disdainful of him, but Loach is his superior after all, and he is also their captain's old superior. No one dares to show it directly in front of Loach.
He took Jiang Tengkong's team members and pulled Jiang Tengkong along to support Kono Kobayashi.
How could Loach let them do as they wished? He kept having people shoot at them in front, forcing them to change direction.
As for Kono Kobayashi, he was discovered by the people who were guarding Liu Wannian as soon as he rushed out. In fact, the first shot was fired by Henian, and this shot was the signal for a full-scale action.
It was a signal not only to Liu Wannian, but also to Chu Lingyun.
Chu Lingyun's mission has been completed. He only needs to protect himself and drive Jiang Tengkong out. Liu Wannian is the main force to deal with the Japanese.
“Bang, bang.”
The gunfire suddenly became rapid. Two snipers on the roof had just changed their positions when they were shot one after the other. One of them fell off the roof, and the other was lying there, his life or death unknown.
One secret sentry had been captured before, and there was a problem when capturing another secret sentry, but he also caught the person. However, he was shot when the other party resisted. Fortunately, the shot did not hit the vital parts, so he did not die.
As for Kono Kobayashi, as soon as he rushed out, many people rushed out from all directions. Seeing that the situation was not good, Kono Kobayashi retreated immediately, but it was too late.
For this operation, the Military Intelligence Department dispatched nearly a hundred people, and there were forty or fifty people around Kono Kobayashi. With so many people dealing with the five of them, and it was an ambush, it was easy.
Kono Kobayashi was forced into a dead end, and two of the four people around him had fallen.
Kono Kobayashi's eyes were red. The enemy was not lured here at all. It was obvious that they had made sufficient preparations and were just waiting for them to take the bait.
His action plan was very thorough. Who leaked the secret?
The first person he thought of was Jiang Tengkong. Among all the people, the only one he didn't trust was Jiang Tengkong, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
Jiang Tengkong was kept under strict surveillance by him and had no chance to contact the outside world.
What's more, he just saw someone trying to capture Jiang Tengkong, and the arrangements were very tight. Jiang Tengkong might be in great danger now.
"Team Leader, what should we do?"
The only two remaining team members shouted in panic. Now they were surrounded by so many people. It was almost impossible to escape, let alone kill the target.
"Why panic? The worst that can happen is that you die for the Emperor."
Kono Kobayashi scolded. In fact, he was also panicked, but he couldn't show it.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Another burst of gunfire prevented them from showing their heads.
"Those inside, put down your guns and surrender, and I will spare your lives."
Someone outside was shouting to surrender, but Kono Kobayashi didn't say a word and just raised his gun and started shooting. Although he couldn't see the person, he fired in the direction of the voice, which fully expressed his attitude.
"Captain, there are three left hiding inside."
Liu Wannian ran over and his team members immediately reported to him.
"Don't worry, set off the smoke bombs and make sure to capture them alive."
Liu Wannian hurriedly gave orders. The three Japanese spies were trapped inside and could not escape. Capturing them alive would bring the greatest credit.
Smoke bombs were thrown in one after another, and Kobayashi Kono was forced to climb the wall with two of his men, trying to climb out and escape.
As soon as they climbed onto the top of the wall, gunshots were heard from all directions. Liu Wannian had already deployed men on high ground, and they opened fire as soon as they showed their heads.
Soon, Kono Kobayashi heard chaotic footsteps coming from behind, and people from the Military Intelligence Department also appeared behind them. This time they had no way to escape.
"You two, come closer to me."
The smoke made it impossible for them to open their eyes. Kono Kobayashi coughed many times when he said this. When the three of them huddled together, Kono Kobayashi detonated the grenade on his body without hesitation.
He would rather die than let himself fall into the hands of the Chinese.
"boom."
When the explosion sounded, Liu Wannian felt something was wrong, but the room was full of smoke, so he could only wait for the smoke to dissipate before going in to investigate the situation.
On the other side, the two team members around Jiang Tengkong were unable to support their team leader and were forced to flee towards the city gate with Jiang Tengkong.
According to their plan, the two of them actually didn't need any support. As soon as the battle started, they would immediately take Jiang Tengkong and flee to the city gate, meet up there, and then escape from the city.
It was just that something unexpected happened during the operation, and they wanted to go over to help because they were worried about the safety of the team leader.
The place they rented was very close to the city gate, and the loach deliberately released water, so they soon escaped to the city gate.
The four team members deployed at the city gate immediately opened fire to seize the city gate after seeing them.
The eight members of the action team who had been hiding outside the city came to support immediately. With so many people shooting together, the guards at the city gate were of average quality and there were only about ten of them. They were scared and fled in all directions when the gunshots rang out, and the Japanese easily controlled the city gate.
"Where's the team leader?"
A team member asked hurriedly, Jiang Tengkong and the other two shook their heads. There was a change in the plan and Kono Kobayashi had not been able to come over yet.
In the distance, Loach had already brought people to chase after him, and the number of people around him had become about thirty.
There were more than a dozen of Liu Wannian's men. When they saw them chasing the Japanese spies, they came over and wanted to take credit. Fortunately, Niu Qiu knew the inside story and couldn't drive so many people away, so he could only order them to obey his orders.
The pursuers had arrived, and Loach noticed Jiang Tengkong and immediately ordered everyone to shoot from a distance.
His reason was simple: there were more enemies, so he didn't want to take any risks.
This time, Liu Wannian's men did not rush forward rashly. The enemy was obviously much larger in number. If they rushed forward at this time, they would be seeking their deaths in vain.
At the city gate, the two sides engaged in fierce fighting.
"No, retreat quickly."
Jiang Tengkong saw that they still wanted to wait for Kono Kobayashi and shouted hurriedly.
With such a big commotion, more Chinese troops will arrive soon. Once the army arrives, not to mention their small number of people, even if there are ten times more, they will be left here.
"Team leader, we'll find a way to escape. Even if we're trapped in the city, we're few in number, so it'll be easy to get out. We'll stay here and wait for the garrisons inside and outside the city to arrive. By then, no one will be able to escape."
This time it was not Jiang Tengkong who spoke, but the leader of the undercover team of the action team.
He knew Nanjing very well. With such a big commotion, a large number of soldiers would surely arrive quickly. After all, this was the capital of the Chinese.
"Retreat immediately according to the original plan." The team leader ordered again.
The seven members under his command obeyed his orders completely, and the other members who followed Jiang Tengkong from Shanghai had no choice but to retreat with them.
If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave.
Only then did Loach lead the team to chase after them, following them from a distance and shooting continuously.
In the end, he killed two people and injured two, at the cost of one death and three injuries, and drove away the entire group of people.
"Chased away" is a nice way of saying it, but in reality it means that we failed to catch up with the enemy and they escaped.
After confirming that Jiang Tengkong was not among the dead, Niu Qiu sat down on the ground, sweating coldly. This gunfight was a rare and grand scene for him.
He didn't feel anything just now, but after it was over, he felt a strong sense of fear. In a battle of this scale, if he wasn't careful, any bullet could kill him.
The second update, there will be more to come, the update time will be a little later, friends who go to bed early can read it tomorrow morning
