Chapter 108: Anger

"It's the tenth day, and I can't imagine how they did it." Looking at the drizzle outside the window, Xu Huanshan grabbed the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, and the middle-aged man sitting opposite Xu Huanshan was also worried at the moment. The middle-aged and young man sitting opposite Xu Huanshan was named Song Hai, a liaison officer of the military command in Shanghai, and this person was also the only person sent out by the Shanghai military command to come into contact with the underground party in Shanghai.

Xu Huanshan had frequent contacts with the military commanders during this period, especially after the Shanghai underground party found a large amount of hidden written materials in the suburbs of Suzhou on the basis of the information sent by Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan began to follow the instructions of his superiors and took the initiative to contact the military commanders in Shanghai. There were lurking Japanese spies within the Chongqing government, especially in some key positions in the military and political departments, and there were also a large number of traitors who had already been bought by the Japanese army.

This meeting with Song Hai was Xu Huanshan's own initiative, and he was already 100% sure that Lu Yuan was in the Japanese army headquarters, and he tried to use his own insignificant efforts to create an escape path for Lu Yuan. "Lao Xu, I already know what you mean, and I don't mean to object to your idea, but I have to advise you. It was the headquarters of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army had sent a large number of field troops into Shanghai, and in this situation, those who occupied the Japanese headquarters had no possibility of escaping alive. Song Hai, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but his words were not what Xu Huanshan wanted to hear.

Xu Huanshan just wanted to open his mouth to refute Song Hai, but the other party preemptively continued, "Old Xu, do you think that our military commander has no way? In the past 10 days, our military command has used almost all channels and forces, but unfortunately, our internal line has never been able to get close to the headquarters building. Lao Xu, unless you have an inside line in the Japanese army, this kind of thinking of yours is a pipe dream. ”

Song Hai's words made Xu Huanshan unable to refute, because the situation that the Shanghai underground party found out through the inner line lurking in Hongkou District was basically the same as what Song Hai had just said. "So what do you say? Are we just going to watch them all die in that damn building? Xu Huanshan, who was already red-eyed, reached out and grabbed the wine jug in front of him, raised his head and poured a few sips, and when he put down the wine jug, Xu Huanshan's face had two tear stains.

Coincidentally, when Xu Huanshan and Song Hai were drinking opposite each other, Lu Yuan and others, who were surrounded by the Japanese army, were also sitting together, passing a wine bottle back and forth. The wine was a French red wine that Lu Yuan found from a room on the 3rd floor, but he didn't find a wine glass, so Lu Yuan and the others had to sit together, and each of them couldn't stop passing the wine bottle in one sip. Half an hour earlier, the Japanese troops surrounding the building had just transported the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who had died in battle, and in return, the Japanese promised that they would not rush into attack until the rain stopped.

If it was Dong Peng, any of them would never agree to such a request from the Japanese army, but Lu Yuan agreed anyway. "This battle is no longer a battle in the simple sense, this is a confrontation, a confrontation between the Chinese and the Japanese, otherwise the Japanese army outside would have destroyed the building with artillery fire long ago." Faced with the doubts of Dong Peng and others, Lu Yuan gave such an answer. "There must be a lot of people out there who are watching us, and every minute we hold on to is a minute of victory for them."

It was drizzling outside the building, but in the building, Lu Yuan and others sat together, tasting red wine, and everyone was thinking about their personal thoughts. The Japanese troops outside the building seemed to be keeping their promises, and Lu Yuan scanned the area around the building several times with a full-view map, but he did not find anything unusual about the Japanese troops outside the building. In the past ten days, Lu Yuan and others repelled more than a dozen attacks by the Japanese army, killing and wounding more than 600 Japanese soldiers, which Lu Yuan did not expect in advance.

has persisted until now, and the number of people around Lu Yuan has dropped from nearly 20 at the beginning to less than 10. However, ammunition and water are quite sufficient, as long as you save a little, there is no problem at all to hold on for another week. "Boss, the Japanese army has sent someone." Lu Yuan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, was suddenly woken up by Dong Peng, stood sideways in front of the window and looked out, only to see two guys holding white flags appear in front of the building full of muddy water. The two people who were sent by the Japanese army, one was a translator, and the other was a lieutenant officer under Suzuki Sakanishi.

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Japanese Army admires your courage and combat effectiveness, as you can see in front of you, the Imperial Japanese Army has paid a certain price, and you, too, have paid the price. This is Shanghai, which is firmly controlled by the Imperial Japanese Army, you should know what the final result is, why don't we end this pointless battle early? In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices? The Japanese lieutenant named Maeda looked at Dong Peng intently, and while interpreting his own words by his side, he tried to find something he was interested in from Dong Peng's expression.

Dong Peng, who was pushed to the front desk by Lu Yuan, was not the kind of person who had no faith in Wang San, according to Lu Yuan's explanation, Dong Peng, who was sitting upright, remained silent, just looked at the two people in front of him expressionlessly. After listening to the translator's relay, Dong Peng suddenly grinned, "You started the war first, although we can't stop you from starting the war, but we have the ability to determine when and how the war will end." If you are afraid, you can surrender to us, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender to us, we promise to let you return to the Japanese mainland. ”

"Yaga... Do you know what you're talking about? Dong Peng's last words were clearly a provocation, Maeda, who was originally sitting in a chair, immediately got up angrily, if it wasn't for the fact that when he entered the building, he had already taken off the command knife, maybe Maeda, who was furious at this moment, would suddenly pull out a knife and cut off Dong Peng's head. The anger of the former group did not seem to frighten Dong Peng, but he smiled slightly, Dong Peng also got up and stood up, seeing the pistol that Dong Peng was carrying in his right hand, Maeda could only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.

"Mr. Translator, please tell your superiors what I said when you go back. By the way, there are still many people like us in China, and even if we all die here in the end, there will be more people like us who will rise up against you in the future. There is an old saying in China, saying that if you do too many bad things, there will always be retribution, and I hope you can leave China alive in the end. Dong Peng's last sentence made Maeda, who turned around angrily, almost fell to the ground, and when he turned around again, he saw that Dong Peng had already raised the gun in his hand.

The Japanese army sent two people to try to persuade Lu Yuan and the others to surrender, but when they left the building, there was only one interpreter left, and the easily angry Lieutenant Maeda had become Dong Peng's ghost. "Since he is a Japanese officer, if he kills, he will be killed, and if we kill one more Japanese soldier now, we may be able to kill many fewer Chinese in the future." We are here just to kill more Japanese, don't tell me anything about etiquette and revenge with virtue and other big truths, I only know that they are the ones who are the ones who are the executioners, and we are the bitter masters. ”

Whether it is the underground party or within the military command, there are some people who do not agree with killing to stop killing, so after Dong Peng suddenly shot Lieutenant Maeda, among the few people rescued from the basement, some people immediately reprimanded Dong Peng. They think that Dong Peng should not shoot black guns, as the old saying goes, the two armies will not fight each other, after all, the Japanese officer is negotiating on behalf of the Japanese army, and Dong Peng is detrimental to etiquette by doing so. But Lu Yuan didn't eat this, besides, Dong Peng shot and killed people out of his own instructions, whether it was public or private, Lu Yuan would not agree with the attitude of those people.

Shooting and killing the person sent by the Japanese army to negotiate, even if Lu Yuan took the initiative to tear up the agreement with the Japanese army, after a cigarette, the Japanese army outside the building attacked. The Japanese army launched an attack in the rain, which was not unexpected by Lu Yuan, but he did not expect that the Japanese army would send a squadron of troops at one time as if they were crazy this time. More than 200 Japanese soldiers, stepping on the mud under their feet, quickly moved towards the headquarters building, and the light and heavy machine gunners who were covering behind them also pulled the trigger one after another.

The Japanese army surrounding the building blocked all the windows on the front of the building with strong firepower, and Dong Peng and others, who were accustomed to this trick of the Japanese army, waited honestly in the corridor according to Lu Yuan's explanation, and only Lu Yuan himself went down to the corridor exit on the second floor and waited for the Japanese army to enter. Lu Yuan, who had already fought several indoor melee battles with the Japanese army, was already roughly familiar with the tactics of the Japanese army, and his position at the moment was a dead end for the Japanese army's attack, and Lu Yuan would start a battle from here in a while.

"Boom" "Boom" The Japanese army who took the lead in entering from the main entrance of the building triggered the * set by Lu Yuan, and when the gunsmoke was churning and shrapnel was flying, the Japanese army rushed into the first floor one after another. Seeing that the Japanese army didn't seem to care about casualties, Lu Yuan on the second floor frowned slightly, knowing that the next battle should not be easy, but the situation was already like this, and he couldn't afford to retreat. The Japanese soldiers who had erected a long ladder on the outer wall finally climbed into the second floor through the window, and Lu Yuan suddenly pushed the bulletproof shield forward at this time.

The messenger sent to persuade him to surrender was shot dead on the spot, and both the commander Sausai Suzuki and the ordinary soldiers of the Suzuki brigade were in extreme anger at the moment. The soldiers of the Suzuki Brigade, who had just climbed through the window to the second floor, had only one idea at the moment, that is, to kill all the enemies in the building and wash away the shame imposed by their opponents, but they did not know that danger had come.
