Agents of the Republic of China

Tang Shengming and Lin Xiaotang took a few entourages and stood on the city tower, watching Boss Nong and his horse galloping out of the city gate, whipping the horses and whips, and galloped towards Wuxi.The two turned their heads and couldn't help smiling at each other.

Tang Shengming clapped his palms lightly, "Youzhong, we're done with this play, now let's see whether Xie Yunchao and Huang Jingzhai on the opposite side can take the bait."

Lin Xiaotang waved his hand, "It's just a battle power configuration map. If you don't use some strong medicine, these two guys won't do it. Now both sides are waiting for the other side to play their cards. We don't want to start a war. We don't want to be cannon fodder. They don't want to fight." The reason for fighting is that they are not sure of winning. After all, their territory is only so big. Once they lose, there is no way to retreat. I guess Li Shiqun has also explained to Huang and Xie. It is best to maintain this situation And there is news from Shanghai that Li Shiqun has arranged for people to contact the United States, with the idea of ​​separatist regime, but we must not let this situation happen!"

Tang Shengming was deeply touched, "You Zhong, what you said is very true. Before you arrived in Suzhou, the commissioner also sent you and me several telegrams, emphasizing again and again that Li Shiqun must not be allowed to resurface, and must be eliminated quickly. It seems , the committee is very afraid of him!"

Lin Xiaotang chuckled, "Boss Dai is not like that!"

Both of them knew very well that Li Shiqun, as a traitor of the Communist Party and the national government, knew too many secrets. During his tenure as the director of No. 76, he fought bloody battles with the military commander and the central commander, and forged an inextricable blood feud. The blood of the anti-Japanese soldiers stained on their hands is countless.Unfortunately, the Japanese poisoning operation against him failed, allowing him to escape from Nanjing, which led to today's situation.But at this time, the Chongqing side had the same idea as the Japanese, that is, they must resolutely eradicate all the forces of Li Shiqun.

In order to preserve his strength, Yamada Kaiji just kept urging Tang Shengming and others to use troops as soon as possible, so that he could benefit from the fisherman.Tang Shengming and Lin Xiaotang naturally wouldn't fall for it, but the Japanese were the actual masters of the occupied areas after all, and Yamada Kaiji was a senior officer of the No.13 Division, and was the highest-ranking commander among the troops ordered to suppress the rebellion. There is no way for Tang Shengming and Lin Xiaotang to procrastinate like this!

Speaking of this, Tang Shengming couldn't help but look sad, "Even if Xie Yunchao and Huang Jingzhai successfully obtained our carefully designed troop deployment plan, will the two of them have the courage and courage to take the initiative?"

Lin Xiaotang shook his head, "Absolutely not!"

Tang Shengming couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

But Lin Xiaotang continued: "But I have a way to provoke them to fight the Japanese!"

Tang Shengming lifted his spirits, "What way?"

Lin Xiaotang smiled, "Then you have to do me a favor first!"

"you say!"

"It's very simple. In one day, clean up all the details inside and outside Suzhou City!"

……

Li Shiqun and Xia Haoming finally breathed a sigh of relief, they were not far from Wuxi.The distance from Shanghai to Wuxi is only more than 100 kilometers, and it took Li Shiqun and others a full four days to walk.

When he came out of Shanghai, Xia Haoming prepared two lines of suspects, one of which was heading towards Anhui, and the other was going to Hangzhou via the Yangtze River route. These two lines of suspects also attracted part of the Japanese and No. 76's pursuit forces.

But Yazawa Shinichi and Yuan Jianfeng firmly bit Li Shiqun's tail and forced them towards Wuxi.Forced to do so, Li Shiqun and Xia Haoming had no choice but to command the more than 200 black-shirted troops who followed them to hide in Tibet. The chasing soldiers fought continuously, losing dozens of troops, but they finally got rid of the chasing soldiers temporarily.

Because of the days of marching, Xia Zhiping was a bit overwhelmed. As soon as the team stopped, she collapsed on the grass, completely ignoring the dampness of the grass.

This made Li Shiqun a little distressed. With his unremitting efforts, Xia Zhiping was finally moved by him.He hurriedly took out a military blanket from his rucksack, carefully helped Xia Zhiping put it under him, and handed over his water bottle.

"Zhiping, come, drink some water!"

Xia Zhiping hesitated for a moment, but took it anyway, and the coolness of the water made her calm down gradually.In all fairness, Xia Zhiping is not an impulsive woman, but this time, so far, she has not felt a trace of regret, which surprised even herself. This may be the first time she has taken risks in her life, but that kind of The eagerness to give everything for the sake of love fills the whole heart.

Yuan Jianfeng had indeed disappointed her to the extreme, and at that time, Li Shiqun appeared just right.Xia Zhiping stared at the dark and thin man in front of her, feeling a little pity.

"He is willing to take risks for me, can Yuan Jianfeng do this?" Xia Zhiping couldn't help asking herself.

"Zhiping, don't worry, it's only a stone's throw away from Wuxi. Haoming has already sent someone to inform Xie Yunchao to send someone to meet him. In the evening, we can go to the city to have a good rest. Then, we will go to Hangzhou immediately. That's where we are. Once we get there, no one can threaten us!" Li Shiqun deliberately emphasized the word "we".

Xia Zhiping's face flushed slightly, "But how are you going to arrange me?"

Li Shiqun's heart was fluctuating, and he stepped forward to hold Xia Zhiping's hands, "Zhiping, give me half a year, and I will definitely make a break with my wife. When the time comes, we will never be separated again!"

"Cough, cough", an untimely cough sounded, it turned out that Xia Haoming had returned.

Although Xia Haoming didn't care much about Li Shiqun's love for his son and daughter at this time, his loyalty to Li Shiqun still prompted him to come forward to remind Li Shiqun.

Li Shiqun comforted Xia Zhiping, and then he and Xia Haoming walked to a secluded place aside.

Xia Haoming frowned, "The brothers from behind came to report, and the pursuers followed very closely. Also, these pursuers are very strange, unlike ordinary Japanese soldiers, their marksmanship is surprisingly accurate, two or three people form a group, and they are elusive. It's hard to deal with!"

Li Shiqun was also taken aback. He had been in Shanghai and Nanjing for many years, and he had never heard of any similar units in the Japanese army. Yesterday, when these pursuers appeared for the first time, he was also greatly surprised. The army could already be called elite. Li Shiqun thought to himself that under the same conditions, the quality of soldiers in the black shirt army was not inferior to that of the most elite division A of the Japanese army.But the Japanese soldiers who came up were a little different from the past. They all wore steel helmets without a trace of reflection, and all of them had automatic firearms in their hands. , I don’t know when it will appear. For this reason, the black shirt army paid more than 20 lives, while the opponent only lost four or five people.

"Could it be the so-called special operations forces of the Japanese, but these forces are distributed in North China, Shanshan, and the Pacific battlefield. I have never heard of such troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!" Li Shiqun said to himself.

Xia Haoming observed the situation of his subordinates and couldn't help feeling worried, "The situation is not very optimistic. I sent someone into the city to contact Xie Yunchao an hour ago, but I haven't replied yet. There must be a large army behind these Japanese. If we can't enter the city in time, it will be difficult for us to hold on for too long!"

Li Shiqun gasped, could it be that something went wrong in Wuxi?

While he was thinking about it, his subordinates rushed to report, "Someone is here from Wuxi!"

Li Shiqun and Xia Haoming's hearts suddenly relaxed, and they looked at the person coming at the same time.

Li Shiqun, one of the staff officers of Xie Yunchao Qingxiang Army who came here, had seen it before, "How is the situation in Wuxi?"

The staff officer took a breath, and quickly replied: "Return to Chairman Li, everything in Wuxi is fine, but today, a large number of small groups of troops appeared around Wuxi, Commander Xie was afraid that something might go wrong, so he had to finish the arrangement and make sure nothing went wrong. That's why I ordered my subordinates to bring people to meet Chairman Li!"

Li Shiqun breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted the staff to lead the way, and rushed to Wuxi immediately, but suddenly gunshots rang out all around.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Japanese soldiers like the ones I had seen before surrounded them from all directions. The automatic rifles and submachine guns in their hands sprayed flames, and a dozen soldiers of the black shirt army fell down in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Haoming quickly set up Li Shiqun and ran towards Wuxi, but Li Shiqun broke free and ran to Xia Zhiping with a struggle, and helped Xia Zhiping with a pale face. Under protection, he staggered and followed the staff officer and ran towards the Wuxi City Wall, which had been hidden in the dim night.

Although the Black Shirt Army was also selected by Li Shiqun and trained by Xia Haoming, when they were suddenly attacked, they were facing these extremely capable Japanese soldiers, and they became confused in an instant. In the sound, the original black-shirted army could only fight on their own. As the night gradually fell, the gap in night combat capabilities between the black-shirted army and the Japanese army became apparent. Soon, the defense line of their organization was broken through, and three people formed a team The Japanese soldiers rushed left and right, knocking down the black shirt soldiers to the ground.

Under the protection of a dozen confidants, Li Shiqun and others desperately broke through. It is undeniable that the explosive power of people in desperate situations is amazing. The distance of forty to fifty kilometers was completed in less than four or ten minutes. Except for Xia Zhiping who was already showing signs of losing her strength, the rest of the people were refreshed when they saw the city wall of Wuxi, and even quickened their pace.

The city gate opened slowly, and there was an extremely ear-stimulating sound in the dark night, and a large group of soldiers with live ammunition poured out of the city gate.

Li Shiqun's mood suddenly relaxed, and he kept waving to the troops coming from the opposite side.

Suddenly, there was a piercing sound in the dark sky. Xia Haoming's expression changed, and he pressed Li Shiqun and Xia Zhiping to the ground with each hand, and shouted loudly at the same time, "Lie down, it's a howitzer!"

The shell detonated right between Li Shiqun and the others and the people who had just left the city, where the flames flashed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
