Chapter 1029 "Big Surprise"

Two trucks full of "pseudo-loyal rescuers" soldiers and several cars drove out of No. 76. He Xingjian and his old friend Chen Mingchu took one, and Zheng Shisong, Wan Lilang and Wu Sibao took the other.

Compared with Chen and He, who had already accepted the nomination certificate, Zheng Shisong had not yet fully gained the trust of the traitors, so he naturally had to accept stricter monitoring.

Zheng Shisong didn't care about this, and chatted with Wan Lilang calmly, and the convoy set off from Jisfell Road and headed straight for the French Concession.

On the road, several people saw a car with a license plate of the concession rushing on a rampage, ignoring the traffic laws, and almost hit the people of the Republic of China who were walking normally several times.

"This is the privilege of imperialism. When Mr. Ji, no, President Ji returns to Jinling, everything will be fine."

Wan Lilang looked out of the car and muttered to himself, maybe he really thinks so, maybe he's just looking for a noble excuse for his betrayal┴seeking glory.

After speaking, he turned his head and looked Zheng Shisong seriously in the eyes, regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, he talked with confidence as if he believed it.

"I hope that Mr. Zheng can seize the opportunity. Whether to be buried with the Shancheng government┴ or become a hero in rebuilding the Republic of China, the choice is in your hands.

Once the new government is formally established, if you surrender at that time, the benefits and positions you can get will not be the same as now, please remember my advice. "

Perhaps because of Ding Mocun's instruction, Wan Lilang still spared no effort to persuade Zheng Shisong to surrender and cooperate, and kept observing the other party's reaction while speaking.

Zheng Shisong smiled and nodded in agreement, but he didn't make any substantive statement. He still put on a stance that is up for grabs. He knows how much he is worth, and proper restraint can whet the appetite of the Japanese.

Wan Lilang was depressed, and wished to drag Zheng Shisong directly to the interrogation room to "entertain" him, but the Japanese strictly forbid torture, so he could only accompany this guy around in circles.

At this time, the convoy passed the checkpoint and successfully entered the French Concession. The lazy French chose to turn a blind eye to the weapons in the hands of the occupants of the vehicle.

the reason is simple.

Surrounded by the Japanese-occupied area, Shanghai has become an isolated island of civilization. The materials needed in the concessions have to be inspected by the Japanese army, and the "tough" French dare not turn against the Japanese.

The car was driving on the cement road in Pingtan, Zheng Shisong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and compared his location with the location of the small street written on the invitation in his mind.

an intersection.

Two intersections.

……

These two positions are getting closer and closer, as long as we turn another right turn, the convoy will drive into a possible ambush location, and it is not far from the Hollywood dance hall.

After obtaining the information from Li Wanxiu, the entire itinerary has been repeated countless times in his mind, and the success of the operation depends on the operatives at the headquarters.

On the 76th, the information about Zuo Zhong's coming to Shanghai was kept strictly confidential. Until now, Zheng Shisong didn't know who came from Shancheng, let alone only two people.

In his imagination, the bureau headquarters should send the most elite action masters. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little uneasy. Bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield.

The convoy was getting closer and closer to the turn. Seeing the first truck loaded with soldiers turning right, Zheng Shisong suddenly pointed to the cigar shop on the corner of the street and spoke.

"Director Wan, can I borrow some copper coins from you? I heard that Deputy Commander He not only likes to dance, but also likes to smoke cigars. Please send someone to buy some high-end products.

We may become colleagues in the future, and we will eat together in the same ladle. You must help me with this favor. Don't worry, I know the rules. Zheng will never get out of the car. "

Wan Lilang hesitated for a moment, then patted the driver on the shoulder to signal to stop. This was Zheng Shisong's first positive response to surrender after his arrest, and he could not refuse.

Besides, the other party didn't get out of the car, so they couldn't pass on any information, and the person who bought the cigars was one of his own, so there was no need to worry about leaking information, and there was no need to be too nervous.

He whispered a few words, and the car guard sitting in the co-pilot stretched out his hand out the window and shook it, signaling the cars in front and behind to go first.

This is the core area of ​​the French Concession┴, and the safety is still guaranteed. There is no need for all the convoys to stop, and the goal will be even bigger.

As the vehicle came to a stop, the guard took a few yen from Wan Lilang, got out of the car and ran into the shop to buy cigars. Everything seemed normal.

"Da~da~da~"

The hands of the watch on Zheng Shisong's wrist kept beating. One minute later, when the guard walked out of the store with a small wooden box, explosions occurred in many remote places in the French Concession.

The first thing to explode was the timber factory warehouse where Zuo Zhong and others stayed. A time bomb detonated the oil barrel next to it, and the abandoned warehouse immediately turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Let alone on-site investigation, even if the Japanese Amaterasu┴ came, they would not be able to find any useful clues from the burnt ruins.

Almost at the same time, a garbage bin in the suburbs and two fire hydrants in the downtown area were blown up, but no one was injured.

The patrol houses and garrisons all over the French Concession heard the sound and had no idea what happened, so they had to bite the bullet and rush to the explosion site.

The sound of the rumbling explosion was heard far away. Wan Lilang drew his gun and pointed it at Zheng Shisong's waist when he heard the sound, then turned his head to look out the back window.

The black plume of smoke that shot straight into the sky was extremely conspicuous in the sky. As an experienced intelligence officer, Wan Lilang immediately concluded that it was an explosion caused by military explosives.

If it is a civilian explosive, the formation of the smoke column will not be so fast, and the sound of the explosion will not travel so far, which can only be achieved by powerful military explosives.

next second.

While beckoning the guards to get in the car quickly, he ordered the driver to catch up with the convoy immediately, no matter what happened in other places, they would be safe as long as they were with the big force.

But the fact was different from what he thought. When the explosion sounded, the leading convoy just passed an intersection and entered a section of road that wasn't too wide.

The driver of the clearing truck was attracted by the sound of the explosion and was curiously looking for the location of the explosion. Unexpectedly, a Renault truck whose carriage was covered by canvas sprang out from the intersection ahead.

"There is a car!"

The co-pilot yelled when he saw the strange truck with the crossbar in front of him, and held onto the driver's platform tightly with both hands, so as not to be thrown out of the car by the sudden brake.

The driver turned his gaze back when he heard the warning, and realized the danger. He stepped on the brake with all his strength, and the soldiers of the "Pseudo-loyal Salvation Army" standing in the carriage were knocked like bowling balls.

"Squeak~bang!"

The car with Agent No. 76 in the rear had no time to react, and hit the rear of the truck, and the vehicles behind were also rear-ended one after another, but the situation was not serious.

Acting in the French Concession, No. 76 is not that crazy, and the road is narrow, and the speed of the convoy has not yet reached the speed that would cause the entire convoy to crash.

He Xingjian and Chen Mingchu, who were talking loudly in one of the cars, knocked their heads heavily to the front row. A few seconds later, the dizzy two raised their heads with their hands on the seats.

When they saw someone blocking the way, the eyes of the two traitors who were trying to please the Japanese by selling out their compatriots were full of panic, and their legs trembled slightly.

Who's going to stop No. 76's car in the French Concession?
Only military command!

As former members of the military command, they certainly knew how the military command dealt with the traitors. When they thought of the "predecessors" who were cleaned up by the sanctioned personnel, the two shuddered.

"Quick! Reverse!"

He Xingjian, who often claims to be a general, now has bangs close to his forehead, his face is pale, and there is an indescribable embarrassment, and he utters an extremely sharp cry, like a little girl who has been molested.

But this is also beneficial. In the chaos, the driver of the convoy clearly heard the order, quickly put on the reverse gear, and reversed the cars at high speed in the direction they came in order.

They all knew that it was impossible to make a U-turn on this terrain, they had to cooperate tacitly if they wanted to survive, and there must be no collision, otherwise the convoy would be completely blocked here.

But soon the drivers became desperate. At some point, a Renault truck rushed out of the rear intersection, also covered with canvas, firmly blocking the convoy's retreat.

"get off!"

"Find a bunker, set up a defense line, and the patrol will arrive in a while!"

As expected of the senior commander of the Zhongshou Army, He Xingjian quickly regained his composure after a short period of panic, raised his gun and fired at the sky, and issued an order to everyone, a correct order.

After the Battle of Songhu, the French added a large number of troops to Shanghai to protect the most important concession in East Asia. Even if war broke out in Europe, it did not stop.

As long as the two trucks are dragged, it won't take too long, a few minutes at most, and the nearby patrols and French garrisons will follow the gunfire.

He Xingjian felt that this could be achieved by relying on Agent No. 76 and his "elites" on the scene. After all, defense is much simpler than offense.

The traitors woke up when they heard the news, and climbed out of the car one by one, trying to use the doorposts and trash cans on the side of the road as cover, and some even tried to break into the houses on both sides of the street.

It's a pity that both the French and the people of the Republic of China became smarter during the war.

As soon as the explosion sounded, the people in the houses locked the doors and even blocked the cabinets behind the doors. The secret agents had to give up the plan.

It sounds like a long time from He Xingjian's order to reverse the car, to the time when the traitors got out of the car and looked for cover, but in fact the whole process only took a few tens of seconds.

When the traitors on No. 76 and the soldiers of the "Pseudo-loyal Salvation Army" came to their senses and looked at the truck ahead, everyone was quickly enveloped in a sense of despair.

At the end of the Battle of Songhu, the retreat of the Guo army actually turned into a major defeat. Quartermasters were busy fleeing for their lives, and some weapons and equipment, guns and ammunition were not distributed to the combat troops in time, so they were piled up in the open air.

When Zuo Zhong heard the news, he ordered the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Team to transport these items to the Zhabei area, the French Concession and the Public Concession by various means in order to avoid the enemy.

The materials included multiple 150mm howitzer shells, dozens of boxes of military explosives, hundreds of submachine guns, a large number of accessories and bullets of various calibers.

The personnel in the upper Shanghai area were evacuated in an emergency before, and the shells used in the trap came from this batch of remaining equipment, which can be regarded as the best use of everything.

But to say that the rarest ones are a few Swiss Suroton S5-106 20mm anti-aircraft guns. These are cutting-edge weapons bought by the government with real money and a lot of money.

Originally, the military wanted to take advantage of the many reinforced concrete buildings in Shanghai and use them to build urban air defense firepower points. As a result, the Guo army was defeated too quickly and it was useless.

At this moment, the Renault truck that blocked the way of He Xingjian and Chen Mingchu had already shed the canvas on the carriage, and under the watchful eyes of the traitors, a Suluotong anti-aircraft gun creaked and turned.
