Chapter 56: Accidents

When night falls, the street lights in Hongkou District are lit up one after another, but today is a little strange, the street lights in many streets are dark, and the fragments of light bulbs under the street lights tell pedestrians that the bulbs of these street lights have been broken. Without street lights, pedestrians can be inconvenient, but for Japanese people who hang out in taverns or izakayas, there is no problem, after all, they only care about food and drink, not these unrelated street lights.

A group of heavily armed Japanese soldiers walked outside the izakaya on the corner of the street, and the proprietress standing at the door of the izakaya habitually bowed slightly to the Japanese second lieutenant who led the team, and with a hint of teasing, she winked at each other very secretly. Who knew that her whole small movement was seen by several people in this patrol, and everyone walked through the tavern with a smile, and after turning the corner, the first few veterans who followed the young ensign suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"Second Lieutenant Watanabe, the boss of Sachiko still likes you as always, if I were you, I would just take off this military uniform and go to be Sachiko's boss, you haven't seen how good her business is at the home pub." Watanabe is a second lieutenant officer after all, and the only ones who joke with him in this tone are Sasaki, Watanabe's fellow countryman, except for the veterans in the patrol.

Sasaki's suggestion did not meet with the others, after all, Watanabe was already a second lieutenant officer, and this was still a second lieutenant rank in the military police, and if Watanabe was transferred to the front-line army, his rank would automatically be promoted to lieutenant by one level. I heard that the records in the front-line troops are very easy to obtain, and if Watanabe can get some more outstanding records, he will not be far from becoming an adjutant as a lieutenant.

Becoming an officer, becoming an adjutant with real power, or even a general, this is Watanabe's dream of giving up his studies to voluntarily join the army, even if he secretly likes this Sachiko, but it is impossible for him to take off this military uniform. Several veterans of the patrol saw Watanabe's unusual non-answer, so they motioned to each other to change the topic, and Watanabe, who was walking in the front, remained silent until he saw a dark figure walking from the street next to him.

"Who? Stand and be checked. Watanabe snapped off and strode forward, his eyes firmly locked on the black shadow that had been walking briskly against the shadows of the street. Seeing this, the patrols behind Watanabe also hurried to follow, but none of them picked up the rifles in their hands, and they were not ready to shoot at any time, perhaps because they felt that this was the Hongkou District, where a large number of Japanese were concentrated, and there would never be such an emergency situation in the war zone.

Suddenly, a black shadow came from the street next to him, and instead of stopping, Watanabe stopped drinking, he immediately started running, and he didn't look slow. Seeing this, Watanabe immediately ran, and the patrol soldiers who were in his team naturally followed. The sound of scattered footsteps rang out in the dimly lit streets, but no matter how Watanabe and the others sped up, the black shadow running in front of them always ran in front, much to Watanabe and the others.

After running through several blocks in a row, the black shadow that had been running in front suddenly stepped into the air and fell into a rolling hoist under Watanabe's vision. Watanabe couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then shouted, "Speed up, he can't hold it anymore." As he spoke, he saw the black figure who had fallen to get up and get up, and then limped into an alley on the side of the street. Watanabe, who was overjoyed, ran to the entrance of the alley, but saw that there was no light in the entire alley, and as far as his eyes could see, the shadows seemed to be piled up with a lot of debris.

Such an alley, and it is at night, you must not rush into it, if the black shadow chased by yourself and others is really problematic, the people who enter this alley will definitely be in danger. Watanabe regretted a little at the moment, he shouldn't have stopped his patrol soldiers from shooting just now, and if he had stopped the black shadow earlier, he would not have faced such a troublesome situation at this moment. Watanabe, who was standing at the mouth of the alley, was still pondering, but Lu Yuan, who was squatting in the alley, was already in a hurry, he finally attracted this Japanese patrol here, and he was about to start, but the other party suddenly stopped.

The black shadow that Watanabe and others have been chasing is Lu Yuan, and the fall on the side of the street just now was actually deliberate by Lu Yuan, just to deceive the Japanese patrol behind him. According to Lu Yuan's plan of action, tonight, the only thing Lu Yuan had to do was to use all kinds of means to attack and kill as many Japanese patrols as possible in Hongkou District. And after dawn tomorrow, it will be the time for Lu Yuan to start his posture and really compete with the Japanese army in Shanghai.

The Japanese soldiers outside the alley did not come in, and Lu Yuan, who was waiting in the alley, had to continue to wait, and after about a cigarette, Lu Yuan, who was squatting in the alley, suddenly heard faint footsteps behind him. Lu Yuan immediately opened his full-view map, and immediately found that behind him, there seemed to be a few red dots, and these red dots were slowly approaching his side at the moment.

"Damn, that's careless." There was no need to think about it at all, just seeing that there were fewer small red dots at the entrance of the alley on the full-view map, Lu Yuan already understood where the Japanese soldiers behind him came from at this moment. It seems that he still underestimated the Japanese army, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, if he hadn't been negligent and forgot to open the full-view map, maybe he wouldn't have been in this situation of being attacked by the enemy at this moment.

Watanabe drew one-third of his patrol force and went around the other side of the alley from the side street, and the commander of the team, who led the command, led people into the alley at the agreed time to coerce the suspicious people hidden in the alley. Watanabe's arrangement should be said to be quite correct, but they met Lu Yuan, a killing god who had fought with the Japanese army many times and had rich experience in urban street fighting, how could he be afraid of the front and rear attacks of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in this area.

The footsteps behind him became clearer and clearer, and Lu Yuan even heard the sound of debris being removed from time to time, but Lu Yuan did not panic, but put the assault rifle equipped with * on his chest. The full-view map that has been opened shows the movements of the Japanese troops on both sides of the alley, and the Japanese troops at the entrance of the alley are still staying in place, and the Japanese soldiers who came in from the other end of the alley are already very close to Lu Yuan at this moment, so close that Lu Yuan can already faintly see the opponent's steel helmet.

The Japanese commander who led the team into the alley suddenly stopped, there were too many debris in this alley, and the further he went, the more he felt bad. Wu Chang, who had a bad premonition, stopped and was about to turn his head to say something to his companion, when he suddenly heard a soft sound of "poof". The voice was very soft, but at this moment, a sharp pain came from the back of the commander, concentrated on the right shoulder blade near the shoulder, and the bullet rolled violently after meeting the shoulder blade, as if it had shot a lot of bone foam, and at once from the front of the right shoulder burst a silver dollar through a penetrating wound, into the wall of the alley.

Large strands of plasma poured out instantly, wetting the front of the Japanese military uniform before the Japanese commander fell. A Japanese soldier who followed him seemed to be stunned, only to see the commander who suddenly fell in front of him lying motionless on the ground, and the blood stains behind him bloomed as if they were smeared. This guy, who was obviously a recruit, kept the position of a gun, and squeezed out a few syllables in a chaotic and meaningless throat: "Ho...... Laa...... "The limbs of the body that have been rusted off and cannot be moved seem to be completely fixed, and a pair ......of eyes are almost bigger than their sockets."

Before the slurred syllables in his mouth could become clear, Lu Yuan's second bullet had already been fired, and in the blink of an eye, the Japanese soldier in the throat fell backwards. Two people were shot and fell down one after another, and the remaining few Japanese soldiers reacted, and while they were shouting, the rifles in their hands had already fired. Lu Yuan was half squatting in the alley, and there were still a large pile of debris in front of him, so the bullets fired from the opposite side were blocked by the debris in front of him.

The sudden shouts and gunshots in the alley lifted Watanabe's spirits, and he knew that his arrangement had succeeded, and the current gunshots should be the soldiers under his command exchanging fire with the mysterious shadow. Watanabe waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers who were waiting with him at the entrance of the alley immediately entered the alley and quickly moved forward towards the location where the guns burst out. As soon as Watanabe's side moved, Lu Yuan, who had been driving the full-view map, immediately knew that Lu Yuan, who didn't want to be flanked from front to back, immediately accelerated the speed of shooting.

shot two people one after another, and the assault rifle in Lu Yuan's hand continued to spit out bullets, knocking down the remaining few Japanese soldiers in the alley one by one. With a bang, a ball of flames suddenly burst out in the dim alley, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the alley in front of Watanabe triggered the * arranged by Lu Yuan, and the two Japanese soldiers fell into the alley covered in blood. "Damn it!" Lu Yuan, who had already shot all the Japanese soldiers in front of him, secretly shouted that as soon as he exploded, Japanese patrols in other positions would hear the movement.

The sudden explosion in the alley also frightened Watanabe, who didn't expect the guy they were chasing into the alley to be so tricky. After the explosion appeared, Watanabe, whose face changed greatly, immediately rushed into the alley, but Lu Yuan had already left from the other end of the alley, and Watanabe and the others only saw corpses all over the ground. "Eight grid tooth road, chase, you must catch him." With nothing to gain but nearly half of his men lost, Watanabe's mood was extremely bad, and he immediately led people to continue to chase after him.

"Boom" Lu Yuan's * at the entrance of the alley was then triggered, and Watanabe, who was extremely lucky tonight, escaped by luck, but the few subordinates who followed him to continue the pursuit did not have the same good luck as him. Watanabe, whose left arm was only cut by a fragment, howled like a wolf in the alley, and watched his soldiers fall in a pool of blood one by one, Watanabe's heart was under great pressure.
