Chapter 402: Killing Wan Tianmu
Chapter 402: Killing Wan Tianmu
Li Xianglan smoothed her hair and said seriously, "Of course."
She was born in the ninth year of the Republic of China and is only twenty years old this year. Although she has the same spy mission as Yoshiko Kawashima, she is different from ordinary agents.
Because the Propaganda Department gave her the task of "educating" and "guiding" rather than using force.
So compared to agents like Minamida Yunko, she is freer, and unless there are special circumstances, she doesn't need to follow anyone's orders.
This way she can be more independent in her thinking, but that's all.
After all, he is a canary raised by the Japanese, he just looks more glorious than others.
"Haha. You are really my good sister." Kawashima Fangzi hugged Li Xianglan and smelled the scent of the vanishing cream on her hair.
"After you get off the bus, take me to see where you're going to perform."
"It is said that Shanghai is a place of great prosperity. If you can make a name for yourself here, you will definitely become a big star in the future."
"I hope so." Li Xianglan reached out her hand and gently lifted a corner of the car curtain. She looked at the city getting closer and closer and said softly, "But I heard that Shanghai is not peaceful right now."
"Those KMT assassins can easily hit their targets from hundreds of meters away,"
"There aren't that many sharpshooters. They just deliberately make their opponents sound like superb marksmen in order to get rid of their own incompetent image."
Yoshiko Kawashima didn't believe that the group of killers roaming around Shanghai were as powerful as the reports said.
She had seen a lot of things, and it was somewhat suspicious to talk about someone shooting someone in a carriage from hundreds of meters away.
The train entered the suburbs, and Shanghai was within reach. Li Xianglan looked at the buildings that were completely different from those in the Northeast and sighed, "This is Shanghai."
"Yes, the big Shanghai that everyone longs for..." Kawashima Yoshiko also stretched out her hand to widen the gap a little, looking at the bustling crowd outside the car window, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation...
She attributed this to the Japanese occupation of the area.
Although she became a traitor, she still hoped that this prosperous land would belong to her, well, at least to Manchukuo.
Woo, crunch, crunch.
There was a long brake sound and the train stopped at the platform of Shanghai Station.
Yoshiko Kawashima picked up the suitcase and said with a smile, "Let's go. I'll take you to see the scenery of Shanghai."
At eight o'clock in the evening, the Paramount Ballroom...
Diagonally opposite the Paramount Ballroom, on the roof of an unremarkable-looking four-story building, there was a pile of rotten furniture, broken wooden boards, and even bricks.
Various sundries were piled up in a corner of the roof in a seemingly disorderly manner.
But just below these things, a human figure was looming.
Li Dahu curled up his body and hid under these things. A few wooden sticks created a small space between these things, which was just enough for one person to lie inside.
Li Dahu has been lying here for more than a day and a night.
Li Dahu used to be a sharpshooter in a certain unit, a elite soldier selected from hundreds of thousands. One day, he participated in a selection mission.
That mission changed his life.
In 1938, he and 43 sharpshooters selected by the headquarters were secretly sent to the first Linli Class organized by the Military Control Commission for special training.
More than 300 people were selected from various armies and trained for a year. After continuous elimination, only 18 people finally graduated.
From the moment they received their graduation medals, their military ranks were all promoted to lieutenant.
It only takes one year of training and an order from your superiors to go from a private to a lieutenant.
It was a long time later that he found out that this was a special anti-traitor squad trained by the Military Control Commission...
Their team is different from others. The training they received is a special operations training method from the German side.
Work in groups of three to carry out effective sniping activities.
Li Dahu's code name is Fisherman. There are two other people at two places 500 meters to the left and right, Cao Bo, code name Lighthouse, and Zhao Yi Bo, code name Jellyfish.
"The news must be accurate, damn Wan Tianmu, my hands are almost numb."
He had been lying there for more than 24 hours, but Li Dahu's eyes were still fixed on the sight.
The intelligence given by the superiors said that the target person must be killed tonight, but they could not be sure of the time when the target person would appear.
All he said was that he would appear at the Paramount between 8 and 9 p.m.
In order to complete this task, he has been lying motionless for a day and a night.
Ding ding, it seemed that he would fail again today. At this moment, several crisp car horns sounded, instantly alerting Li Dahu.
In front of the Paramount Ballroom, several cars appeared in sight at the same time.
The car door opened, and several figures that were often seen in newspapers appeared in sight.
These people are frequent visitors to the Shanghai Daily. They are also city government staff, mayor's assistants and well-known traitors, including Wang Manyun, Cai Hongtian, Gu Jiwu and Ling Xianwen.
Don't be fooled by their fat and big ears. They are an important tool for the Wang Puppet Government to control the Shanghai Stock Exchange. In later times, they would be provincial and ministerial officials.
Originally, the Military Control Commission's anti-espionage team had made everyone panic in the past few days, but just today, they welcomed Shibayama Kaneshiro, who had just arrived in Shanghai from Hankou, and Kawashima Yoshiko, who came from the Northeast, in Auditorium No. 76.
Since everyone was not satisfied with the drinking, they agreed to go to the Paramount to have fun again at night.
What was embarrassing was that this group of people from the city government were clearly celebrating the incident at No. 76, but two of the hosts were missing, Ding Cun and Li Qun.
Neither of the two No. 76 bosses came. They only sent a consultant, Wan Tianmu, to represent them. Anyone could see the dissatisfaction among them.
But even so, this scene is enough.
Almost all the City Hall team members were present, including the advisor of No. 76 and Captain Wu Sibao.
Ordinary people have never seen such a scene.
Several of them had cars and brought a lot of bodyguards.
These people had already come outside to check out the situation. As soon as the car stopped, several bodyguards hurried over and opened the doors of their respective owners' cars.
"Brother Wan, let's not go home until we are drunk today." Wang Manyun is the secretary of Mayor Chen Gongbo and also the highest-ranking person in the group.
He got out of the car first, walked to the back and put his right hand around Wan Tianmu's shoulder.
Wan Tianmu had just come over and was also the division commander of the Shanghai Peace and National Salvation Army. People like him were their main targets.
Although Mayor Chen did not show up, his meaning was very clear: the affairs of the Shanghai Stock Exchange must be under their control.
Wan Tianmu touched his bald head and burped, "Don't worry, Secretary Wang, I know who is the bad guy and who is our friend."
"If you need any help from me in the future, I will go through fire and water for you."
As soon as Wan Tianmu finished speaking, three gunshots rang out...
