Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

withdraw?
Or not withdraw?

At this time, Zhang Anping had only two choices.

In the event of an evacuation, once the emergency escape passage is used, the entire base will be abandoned and the top-secret documents will be destroyed. It can be said that from now on, the Shanghai Station will no longer have a direct group - because the premise of the existence of a direct group is to have a secret passage that can evacuate all members and a location that can provide a confidential workplace for at least twenty people.

Moreover, it was also necessary to keep the confidentiality of these office staff. Given the conditions in Shanghai, the Military Control Commission no longer had the ability to build a second such base.

The existence of the direct-affiliated group's base is like a qualified brain for the intelligence work of the entire Shanghai station. It is also because of the existence of the direct-affiliated group that Zhang Anping can use the various intelligence groups as his arms. If it is evacuated this time, the direct-affiliated group will either have to work in different offices or change its appearance and become an ordinary intelligence group.

No matter which option is chosen, Shanghai Station will lose the ability to coordinate, dispatch and act quickly.

But if they did not withdraw, their guess would come true. In an emergency, it would be difficult to evacuate the 25 staff members in the direct group's base in just a few minutes using the secret passage that could only accommodate one person. Once several people were arrested, the direct group would be ruined.

This question lingered in Zhang Anping's mind for less than ten seconds before he made his choice.

withdraw!
Intelligence work does not allow for the slightest bit of luck. The fact that the direct group’s base has been able to exist for a little over two years is already far beyond imagination. Even if we give it up now, it would be considered as adapting in advance to the harsh situation of Shanghai losing the protection of the concession.

It was after realizing this that Zhang Anping made the above decision.

He immediately found a public telephone booth and dialed a rarely used phone in the direct group's base.

"Hello, this is New Oriental Trading Company."

“The Italian goods have arrived.”

Zhang Anping spoke the code word, and the face of the attendant on the other end of the phone suddenly changed - in the agreed code word, the arrival of goods from France was a secondary alarm, while the arrival of goods from Italy meant the highest level of alarm.

The secret escape passage must be activated immediately and the destruction mechanism must be activated to destroy all documents!
"What about the payment?"

Zhang Anping said a number, which was the verification "code" before activation. When the numbers matched, it also meant that the alarm was verified.

As the call was hung up, the duty officer immediately pressed the alarm. As the alarm rang, all the members of the direct team at work were shocked.

The leaders of each team immediately gathered their members and ran to the blocked basement No. 3. Miao Fengxiang, who was Zhang Anping's attendant, and an official from the direct group quickly rushed to another basement. In the basement, the two of them pressed a red button together.

As the buttons were pressed at the same time, countless liquids gushed out from an invisible place and began to spread wantonly in the room where the top-secret documents were stored.

"Only four minutes! Retreat!"

At the same time, Seiji Tsukamoto rushed to No. 58 Fukudaan Road with a team of elite soldiers.

As he approached, Tsukamoto emphasized once again: "If you encounter resistance, kill them without mercy! Occupy this place as quickly as possible!"

"Hi Yi!"

This ace operational force that the Special High Police had never used before was the armed force carefully built by Tsukamoto to target the Military Intelligence Bureau's special forces. Although the failure of Yamamoto and Takeshita's special attack team led to the Japanese military's disdain for the special attack team, as an old rival who knew the Military Intelligence Bureau well, Tsukamoto still used the advantages of the Special High Police to imitate the two's special attack team and secretly established this armed force.

"This will be their debut, and it will also be the battle that will make them famous!"

Tsukamoto stared at No. 58 Fukudaan Road with high spirits.

The Japanese rushed into No. 58, quickly occupied the unmanned first floor, and rushed to the second floor without hesitation.

There was no resistance.

"Foolish Chinese, the further you go, the more you will end up dead!"

The Japanese major who led the team grinned and signaled his men to rush to the third floor.

Compared to the neat and tidy second floor, the office on the third floor was in a mess. A Japanese soldier in plain clothes touched the quilt, felt the hot temperature in the cup, and reported:
"The water is hot!"

"Go up there!"

But... the fourth floor is still empty!

The Japanese major leading the team was furious:
"Baga, the basement, it must be in the basement! Get downstairs immediately!"

The Japanese were about to go downstairs, but suddenly someone asked, "What's that smell?"

“It smells nice—it’s gasoline!!!”

The Japanese soldier who answered that it smelled good suddenly changed his words and started screaming. Only then did they discover that liquid was gushing out of several pipes.

"Come downstairs immediately!"

The Japanese major was anxious, but at this time liquid suddenly gushed out of several pipes. After the "magic modification" of the shower head, these liquids turned into mist. In a very short time, the entire fourth floor was filled with such "mist".

The suffocating smell of gasoline had now filled the nerves of every Japanese soldier.

They ran downstairs like crazy, and only then did they realize that the same thing was happening on the third floor, the second floor, and even the first floor.

run! Run!

Just when the Japanese soldiers rushed to the second floor and were about to rush to the first floor, a flame emerged from the ground, and then the whole world was set on fire. The flame expanded and spread rapidly at an indescribable speed until a loud bang was heard.

The violent explosion made the surroundings seem like an earthquake, and No. 58 instantly turned into a flaming building. Countless flames rushed out of every window like crazy, like huge fireworks during the New Year.

After the flames erupted, the entire No. 58 began to burn violently. The Japanese soldiers in plain clothes were suffocated by the sudden and intense burning of the flames. Some with strong willpower tried to rush out in the heat, but more teammates became the key to stopping them.

Someone shot and killed the teammate who was blocking the way, and rushed to the first floor in the scorching heat, but a scene that made him despair appeared!

Because of the explosion caused by the burning flames underground, a huge hole appeared at the gate. It was obviously only a few steps away from the sea of ​​fire, but this huge hole and the flames constantly spewing out from it cut off the final passage.

Flames filled the air. The Japanese soldiers, who had even killed their own teammates in order to escape, looked at the scene in despair, and stood there in a daze, allowing the flames to completely devour them.

Tsukamoto was completely stunned.

The action team he secretly organized... actually not a single person showed up?

Tsukamoto could feel the heat from a distance, staring blankly at No. 58 who had gone from normal to burning in an instant, his mind seriously interrupted.

"Zhang! Xiao!"

It was not until the scorching heat pulled him back to the cruel reality that Tsukamoto roared in anger. The elite action team he had secretly assembled with great effort, a special action force formed to deal with the Military Control Commission's special forces, was wiped out on its first expedition.

"asshole!"

"Go in quickly, I want to know where the secret passage is!"

"Stop them! Find them! Kill them all!"

The furious Tsukamoto roared madly, and if he was not in casual clothes at that time, the Japanese officer's iconic knife-raising action would have been repeated.

Under orders, the Japanese troops besieging No. 58 had no choice but to encircle No. 58. Fortunately, the flames had gradually subsided after the explosion, otherwise they would have had to rush in and risk being roasted chickens.

However, due to the explosion of a large amount of gasoline, the secret passage collapsed. The Japanese soldiers found several secret passages, but could only watch them. They had no way to clear the passages in a short period of time.

After learning the news, Tsukamoto cursed the idiots and good-for-nothings, and gradually accepted the fact. However, he was certain that even if the resistance elements evacuated through the secret passage, they were still in his blockade circle, so he ordered to immediately prepare for the isolation of people in the area.

He divided the entire blockade into countless areas. He checked each area one by one, vowing to catch the members of the Military Control Commission one by one.

……

After making the call, Zhang Anping rushed to the secret base of No. 58 of the direct group. However, when he was about to get closer, he was shocked to find that the Japanese army had prepared an encirclement with a radius of nearly one kilometer with No. 58 Futian'an Road as the core.

The emergency escape passage at No. 58 extends westward, and its exit is near the east of Fahua Minguo Road. Just walk forward for more than meters and you will reach Fahua Minguo Road. Crossing Fahua Minguo Road will lead you to the French Concession. However, it was unexpected that the Japanese used Fahua Minguo Road as the boundary and included the part east of Fahua Minguo Road in the blockade circle.

In other words, the 25 members of the direct group plus Miao Fengxiang were trapped in the Japanese encirclement.

[Still a step too late! ]

Looking at the black smoke rising in the distance, Zhang Anping was extremely anxious. Based on the number of troops deployed by the Japanese, if the trapped members of the direct team could not be rescued early, they would be exposed to the Japanese's thorough search in two days at most.

While I was thinking about how to respond, gunshots were heard not far away.

Zhang Anping sharply judged that the gunshot was the sound of a fight between a pistol and the Japanese Army's Type 3 rifle. Judging from the location, it should be the entrance to secret passage No. .

Secret passage No. 3, which is the secret passage that Qi Qingbao often enters and exits, is located in an alley.

He hurriedly took a telescope from the car, ran to the roof of a tall building, and observed the entrance of secret passage No. 3 through the telescope.

Through the telescope, Zhang Anping saw that the family at the entrance to secret room No. 3 was being besieged by a group of spies and Japanese soldiers. The two agents, who were playing the role of a couple, were holding on by relying on the advantage of the yard. However, after the explosion of several grenades, the battle came to an end - the male and female hosts fell in a pool of blood after the smoke cleared, staring blankly at the Japanese who were coming in one after another.

At this moment, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose up and enveloped the courtyard, and the explosion was heard two seconds later.

Someone detonated the explosives stored in the secret passage!

Zhang Anping closed his eyes in pain. The problem had to be solved as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the Japanese army opened up the basement of No. 58, they would be able to follow the secret passage and find the entrances to the other four secret passages in reverse. By then, the eight agents there would also follow the fate of secret passage No. .

And once the Japanese army found the emergency escape passage along the entrance of the secret passage, the 26 people including Miao Fengxiang would become the Japanese's meal.

Must be fast!

Zhang Anping set a 24-hour countdown alarm in his brain. Within 24 hours, the Japanese blockade must be lifted!

……

Some people say that the test of a commander's ability is not a smooth victory, but a defeat. If he can maintain sufficient rationality in a defeat and command his subordinates to complete the retreat and preserve the living force, this can prove that he is a qualified commander.

Zhang Anping, who had always been crushing the enemy, faced a defeat from which he could never recover if he wasn't careful. He did not choose to risk everything or abandon his trapped subordinates, but decided to escape in a way that would make the Japanese so angry that they died!
Through Li Bohan's intelligence team, he secretly summoned the four rebuilt excavation teams to Pishaonai Road in the French Concession.

To the east of Pi Shaonai Road is Fahua Minguo Road. At the intersection of the two roads there are Japanese and French military outposts. And now, to the east of the intersection is the Japanese blockade zone.

"It's 8:10 pm now. Can you dig a secret passage through Fahua Minguo Road before 2 a.m.?"

"Sir, the straight-line distance from here to Fahua Minguo Road is about 40 meters. If we build a standard access road, it will take more than six hours."

"It doesn't need a standard passage, as long as people can walk on their stomachs. Also, it doesn't need too many support pillars, as long as you make sure there won't be landslides when you dig. Also, I don't need to open up this place, as long as I can pass Fahua Republic Road."

An experienced member of the excavation team gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"Start immediately!"

"Sir, what should we do with so much soil?"

"Put it on hold right here!"

"Ah? This will attract the police!"

"No, our people will control the residents here - I will take care of the police."

Faced with such a determined Zhang Anping, the members of the excavation team stopped talking and immediately took their tools and started digging.

At the same time, dozens of soldiers from the Rangers and Shenfei Action Group have taken control of the surrounding businesses and residents one by one. Under the witness of these people, the excavation work is proceeding quickly and effectively.

Time passed little by little, and after 1 a.m., these "ferocious" kidnappers began to provide food to the "hijacked" hostages. The frightened hostages naturally began to wolf down the delicious food.

What the "hostages" didn't know was that while they were enjoying the midnight snack provided by the "robbers", more than 20 secretly recruited students quietly entered the secret passage.

Two o'clock in the morning.

The excavation target set by Zhang Anping was finally completed after the desperate excavation of the 16 excavation team members. With Zhang Anping's order, the excavation team members and more than dusty students crawled out of the tunnel that was dug urgently.

Then, the students began their performance.

"It was so dangerous, I thought I couldn't get out!"

"Yeah, it's really dangerous today!"

"It's too dangerous! Fortunately, the exit of our secret passage is only a few dozen meters away from the French Concession, otherwise there would be no way to save them!"

"Stop talking nonsense, prepare to retreat quickly, this is the French Concession, be careful!"

Witnessed by the "hostages", these disheveled people swaggered away from the secret passage that had been dug in an emergency. Then, these "ferocious" "robbers" left a few dollars for each household as an apology and evacuated one after another - as they evacuated, loud explosions were heard.

This urgently dug tunnel was blown up.

Although these "robbers" never revealed their identities from beginning to end, most people had already realized who they were. Although they were frightened, the vast majority of them had no intention of informing the police.

Even they pretended not to know what was going on.

Only a few French families were unhappy. How could they, the Gallic rooster and the people of the country with the strongest army on earth, suffer such humiliation?

Faced with the police who had appeared in a hurry because of the explosion, these French people held their heads high and vented their dissatisfaction wantonly, even clamoring for the French soldiers to cooperate with the Japanese and teach a lesson to the Chinese who dared to hijack them.

Such a violent commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Japanese next door. When the Japanese spies learned the information from the patrol, they were suddenly shocked and almost frightened to death.

Are you kidding me?
The Japanese army deployed more than 4,000 people to blockade an area of ​​more than three square kilometers (it was previously planned to blockade an area of ​​less than one square kilometer, but later the blockade range was expanded for safety reasons), and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to search for resistance elements within the blockade circle. Now you tell me that the resistance elements escaped from here?

After receiving the report, Tsukamoto was speechless for a long time. Finally, he changed into plain clothes and rushed to Pishaonai Road where the accident happened with some agents.

When he saw the mountains of earth, the last bit of doubt disappeared.

Shi Yimei, who rushed over urgently, looked at the huge earthen mountain and asked the engineer she brought with her:

"How long a tunnel can be dug out with this amount of earth?"

After studying for a while, the engineer came to the conclusion:

"If we use the standard of a robber's hole as the basis, the volume of this earth is at least fifty meters."

Fifty meters?!

Shi Yimei climbed to the roof of a building and stared at the distance from the entrance of the secret passage to the Japanese-occupied area not far away, her chest heaving wildly.

I racked my brains and planned everything, but I never thought it would end up like this!
He actually escaped through the secret passage right under their noses!
What a failure!

Wow

Shi Yimei was so shocked that she spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, Shi Yimei's good partner Tsukamoto was listening woodenly to the testimonies collected by his agents.

These testimonies clearly state:

They saw with their own eyes that there were only a dozen very professional people digging, and they also saw with their own eyes that in the end more than twenty people in various white-collar clothes crawled out of the secret passage with these professional diggers.

There were even French people who were familiar with China and vividly repeated what these people said after they crawled out of the secret passage.

Tsukamoto, feeling disheartened, told his subordinate to leave without even listening to the rest of his words.

He promised the headquarters that he would deal with Zhang Xiao, so the headquarters cooperated with him and deployed such a large number of troops to set up a blockade in the core urban area of ​​Shanghai.

But now, everything is lost!

In No. 58, all of the more than elite action team members he had secretly trained were lost;

After much trouble, more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers entered the most prosperous urban area, but the enemy escaped right under their noses!
Coupled with the accusation that Matsumuro Yoshitaka put on him, Tsukamoto at this moment felt that his future was bleak.

Accustomed to power, if he is driven away from that power, what should he do?

"Section Chief, the Concession Police Chief wants us to leave before the reporters arrive."

"Let's go, let's go...let's go."

Tsukamoto gave the order in a daze.

My heart is dead!
"Section Chief, the division commander is in a coma."

"Throw it away... Never mind, just carry it away."

Tsukamoto did not sell out his teammates this time.

Maybe he felt guilty towards Shi Yimei after all.

It was only a few dozen meters from here to the intersection of Pishaonai Road and Fahua Minguo Road, but Tsukamoto felt it was extremely long. He walked weakly, feeling despair about the future.

Just when their team of more than ten people was about to reach the T-junction, gunshots suddenly rang out from all directions. Deadly bullets accompanied by flashing flames madly rushed towards the team that was about to walk towards the French checkpoint.

The sudden gunshots alarmed the investigating patrol and also alerted the French outpost that had been urgently reinforced. People on both sides rushed over quickly with guns, but the gunmen in the dark did not shoot at them. All the firepower was concentrated on this team of Japanese agents who were not carrying any weapons.

From the dense and terrifying gunfire, one could feel the ambushers' rage.

But this rage had to end with the arrival of the French army and patrol police.

After the gunfire stopped, an angry voice rang out:

"Shi Yimei! You have betrayed the Party and the country. Your crime is unforgivable! Your whole family will suffer the wrath of the Military Control Commission!"

"Shi Yimei, you deserve to die!"

"From now on, the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station will fight you to the death!"

The voice was extremely furious, and full of strong resentment. Even the police and French troops instinctively chose not to rush over at this time.

Shi Yimei, who was awakened from her coma by the gunshot, could not help but respond sharply when she heard the familiar voice:
"Zhang Xiao! I will tear you into pieces!"

But at this time, Shi Yimei's sharp voice did not resonate with Tsukamoto at all.

【Zhang! Xiao! 】

He stared blankly into the darkness. It was just a little bit, just a little bit...

But now, all hope is lost.

At this time, Zhang Anping had already evacuated quickly.

The Gauls won't have a good time for many days, but the bald man is in an even worse situation. If there is a conflict with the Gauls, he might be blamed.

This move may seem like a cicada escaping from its shell, but in reality it is a tree that blooms. We will know tomorrow what the effect will be! (End of this chapter)
