Chapter Seventy-Four: The Second Battle (1)

"I now formally extend an invitation to you and your companions to join me in the operation, and let us leave an unforgettable memory for the Japanese army together." Lu Yuan smiled and stretched out his right hand to Jin Douhuan, although he had not yet recovered from Lu Yuan's words just now, but Jin Douhuan knew that what Lu Yuan said was right, in the current situation, it would not work alone, unless there was Lu Yuan's combat effectiveness and careful preparation.

After a slight groan, Jin Douhuan nodded at Lu Yuan and said, "We have two secret strongholds in Hongkou District, and there are a total of nine people, four of whom are members of the operation team, and the other five are just intelligence agents and coverers. Jin Doohuan's words had a deep meaning, and he also knew that once he promised Lu Yuan, the two strongholds and manpower that the National Salvation Army had finally planted in Hongkou District might all be wiped out.

Jin Doohuan did not refuse directly, but used a more tactful way, Lu Yuan could hear what Jin Doohuan wanted to express, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and then shrugged his shoulders indifferently at Kim Doo-hwan. "Forget it, you only have four operatives, and this little manpower won't help much." Lu Yuan's words put Jin Doohuan at ease, but he didn't know that Lu Yuan was already wary of him.

Leaving the courtyard, Lu Yuan took Jin Douhuan into the house, and pushed open the cabinet in the bedroom with force, Lu Yuan leaned over and lifted a few floor tiles that were fixed together, and a hole appeared in front of Jin Douhuan. "Don't look at it, go down quickly, maybe the Japanese army has already discovered that tunnel." Lu Yuan handed a flashlight to Jin Douhuan, who was still stunned, and then went down the tunnel first.

Jin Douhuan stepped on the ladder and slowly descended into the tunnel, and Lu Yuan, who was waiting next to the ladder, pulled a rope hard, and the slanted floor above the tunnel entrance returned to its original position under the pull of the rope. Jin Doo-hwan didn't ask about the tunnel, just silently followed behind Lu Yuan, and the two walked along the tunnel for a while, and finally stepped on the ladder to get out of the tunnel, Kim Doo-hwan found himself in a strange courtyard.

"I bought it from a Japanese merchant, and you step on the clay jar next to the wall and look out from the top of the wall." Xu saw the confusion on Jin Douhuan's face, and Lu Yuan nodded to Jin Douhuan and gestured to the clay pot under the wall over there. Jin Douhuan walked over suspiciously, climbed up the clay pot according to Lu Yuan's instructions, and then straightened up very carefully, and looked straight over the wall to the outside of the courtyard.

After just one glance, Kim Doo-hwan subconsciously lowered his body, and when he turned around to talk to Lu Yuan, his originally fluent Japanese suddenly became stumbling. "I know here, the izakaya diagonally across the street is a place frequented by a lot of Japanese officers." Jin Douhuan and the others have not been lurking in Hongkou District for a day or two, and they are far more familiar with some of the situations in Hongkou District than Lu Yuan.

"Yes, this is the izakaya, and it will be our next target." Lu Yuan was a little vague, and he didn't mention the geographical advantage of this brewery to Kim Doo-hwan. The two rested for a while in Lu Yuan's temporary base, and after Lu Yuan redressed Jin Doo-hwan's wounds, the two left the courtyard one after the other. Lu Yuan's courtyard is diagonally opposite the izakaya, so as long as they cross the street, they can reach the izakaya.

Without the slightest pause, Lu Yuan, who was crossing the street, walked directly to the izaka, and Jin Doohuan didn't know anything, so he could only follow Lu Yuan silently. Originally, the business of this izakaya was not bad, but since yesterday, there have been either shots or explosions in Hongkou District, and a large number of Japanese expatriates have tried to flee Hongkou District, and the owner of this izakaya is the same, but he was temporarily stopped by the Japanese soldiers who blocked the street and asked them to be responsible for supplying the troops with water.

Lu Yuan and the others had just crossed the street when they saw that the door of the store that was originally closed suddenly opened, and several Japanese soldiers carrying large baskets happened to come out of the izakaya. bumped into each other outside the izakaya, Lu Yuan's face remained unchanged, but Jin Douhuan, who was walking behind him, had already changed his complexion. "Hey, who are you?" The next street is surrounded by the Japanese army, and the residents around the izakaya are either hiding in their homes or running to the checkpoint to wait to escape from the Hongkou District, when they suddenly meet Lu Yuan and the two of them, and the Japanese soldiers who were ordered to come to the izakaya to get water are suspicious.

The Japanese second lieutenant led by the Japanese army shouted at Lu Yuan and the two, but when he saw Lu Yuan continue to walk towards him as if he had turned a deaf ear, the suspicious Japanese second lieutenant immediately stretched out his right hand to his waist, where a southern pistol was pinned. Lu Yuan naturally couldn't give time and opportunity to deal with the gun, just a few steps, Lu Yuan was like an angry wild boar, and crashed into the arms of this Japanese second lieutenant. The Japanese second lieutenant who couldn't dodge only felt a chill in his throat, and a bloody arrow had already shot out of his throat, only Jin Douhuan, who was following Lu Yuan, could see it clearly, and Lu Yuan used a short knife to open the neck of the Japanese second lieutenant.

The short knife in his right hand was swung out, and Lu Yuan's left hand had already reached out to support the body of the Japanese second lieutenant, with his five fingers wide open, and when the short knife was taken off, Lu Yuan had already pulled out the pistol from behind his waist with his backhand. The rapid gunfire rang out continuously, and the Japanese soldiers carrying large baskets of water had no time to react, so they were shot one after another and fell at the door of the izakaya. Jin Douhuan didn't expect Lu Yuan to make a sudden move, seeing these Japanese soldiers being shot one after another and falling to the ground, Jin Douhuan, who was carrying a big bag, just stood in place and was stunned.

"What are you doing, go in and clear the field." Lu Yuan let go of the Japanese second lieutenant who had been killed in his hand, turned around and shouted at Jin Douhuan, who was still stunned. Jin Doo-hwan reacted at this time, and then according to Lu Yuan's words, he rushed into the izakaya with a pistol, and cooperated with Lu Yuan in the bank building for two days, Jin Doo-hwan naturally understood what Lu Yuan meant by clearing the field just now. Jin Doohuan rushed into the izakaya to clear the field, but Lu Yuan turned around and went back to the courtyard just now, and when he came out again, Lu Yuan was carrying a big bag in both hands.

Jin Doohuan didn't want to expose the stronghold and manpower of the National Salvation Army in Hongkou District, so Lu Yuan secretly became vigilant against him, and the secret of the storage space naturally couldn't be leaked in Jin Doohuan's sight, so Lu Yuan prepared a trick to cover his eyes. The two big bags in Lu Yuan's hand and the big bag on Jin Douhuan's back were full of weapons, ammunition and *, when Lu Yuan took out these things, he didn't avoid Jin Douhuan, and Jin Douhuan also thought that these things were hidden in the courtyard just now by Lu Yuan in advance.

Lu Yuan ignored the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who fell at the door of the izaka, and when he walked into the izakaya, Kim Doo-hwan, who was full of murderous face, was coming down from the second floor of the izakaya with a pistol, just looking at Kim Doo-hwan's expression at the moment, Lu Yuan knew that the Japanese in the izakaya should all go to hell. "Prepare, they should be coming soon." Lu Yuan's expression was very calm at the moment, as if he was influenced by Lu Yuan, and the slight panic in Jin Douhuan's expression disappeared in an instant.

Lu Yuan and the two immediately went their separate ways, Jin Douhuan carried the backpack full of bullets and * to the second floor according to Lu Yuan's explanation in advance, while Lu Yuan was alone in the hall of the izakaya to arrange * and *. Similar to their arrangement in the bank building, Lu Yuan also arranged * on the back of the staircase connecting the upper floors, according to Lu Yuan's statement to Kim Doo-hwan, once it is critical, Lu Yuan will immediately detonate these* to cut off the possibility of Japanese troops rushing to the second floor.

The Japanese army was very sensitive to the sound of gunfire, especially in Hongkou District, where Lu Yuan could be arranged*, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who heard the gunfire quickly moved towards the izakaya. The Japanese army was approaching, and Lu Yuan, who had already opened the full-view map, could not know, but he did not warn Jin Doohuan upstairs, but waited for Jin Doohuan upstairs to tell him. "The Japanese are coming." Kim Doo-hwan leaned out from the guardrail and shouted at Lu Yuan, who was busy in the hall.

Lu Yuan immediately carried the assault rifle to the second floor, and as he walked, he took out * and screwed it on the barrel of the gun, and when he stood sideways in front of the street window, the Japanese soldiers who heard the gunshots and rushed over happened to turn the corner and saw the corpses at the door of the izaver. "Wait, beware is a trap." The Japanese soldier Cao was the first to stop, staring at the corpse at the door of the izakaya for a while with a pair of triangular eyes, but his feet did not move.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed over when they heard the gunshots suddenly stopped, and Lu Yuan, who had already put the assault rifle flat, was not in a hurry, but waited quietly with his gun. The Japanese soldier Cao stared at the corpses for a while, and then assigned two of his soldiers to go forward to check the situation first, while he and the other Japanese soldiers waited far away. The two Japanese soldiers whose names were named advanced one left and one right, and Jin Douhuan, who was also standing sideways in front of the street window, subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Yuan, but found that Lu Yuan was still expressionless, and the gun in his hand did not move at all.

The two Japanese soldiers pushed forward until they were only 20 meters away from the izakaya, and what the Japanese soldier Cao feared did not happen. Secretly relieved, seeing that his soldiers were about to arrive at the izaya Japanese soldier Cao Chang waved his hand vigorously, and the other Japanese soldiers behind him couldn't move forward. But at this time, Lu Yuan, who was holding an assault rifle and not moving, suddenly pulled the trigger of the assault rifle.

Lu Yuan's first target was not the two Japanese soldiers who were about to approach the izava, but the Japanese soldier Cao who had been acting as the commander, Lu Yuan was only a hundred meters away from the target at the moment, even if the barrel of the assault rifle was equipped with *, but such a short firing range could still be done. Only a crisp sound of "dang" was heard, and the Japanese soldier Cao, who had been chiseled by a bullet hole in his steel helmet, fell backwards without saying a word, like a wooden stake.
