Chapter 1448 Brothers, walk slowly...
“Who fired the shot?”
Hearing the gunshots, Li Cuiqun was horrified.
As long as the Japanese don't fire, he must never fire first.
The most ideal and expected situation is to just confront each other like this until reinforcements arrive to solve the problem and rescue him.
However, the sound of the gunshot made Li Cuiqun's heart sink into an icy cave.
Oops!
Everything happened just as he expected, a gendarme was shot and fell to the ground.
When Onodera Masaru saw his men being shot, he was overjoyed. The commander, Koichirō Yoneyama, ordered him to surround but not attack, force Li Cuiqun and others to lay down their arms and surrender, and then quickly search and interrogate them.
This move was also to avoid further pressuring Wang to fill the sea, so as not to affect the ongoing 'Big Three' meeting.
However, in Onodera Masago's mind, if no one took the blame, then his intelligence room would bear the greatest responsibility for the death of Fushiminomiya Shunsuke, so his thoughts were different from those of Yoneyama Koichiro.
Therefore, at this moment, Onodera Masago was overjoyed in his heart, but angry on his face. He waved his command knife and shouted, "Shageki! (Shoot)"
At Onodera Masago's order, the military police began shooting.
Snap, snap, snap, snap!
Gunfire rang out.
The Japanese military police were very accurate in their marksmanship, and their long rifles had a longer range.
Soon, an agent from the secret service headquarters was shot, and one of them fell from the building with a scream.
"The Japanese are going to kill us all," Deng Wenye shouted, "Brothers, fight them."
Several men from the former Qingdao Station Operations Department immediately raised their guns and opened fire on the Japanese military police.
Influenced by them, some agents in the secret service headquarters also fired back in panic.
……
"It's Deng Wenye!" Wan Haiyang recognized it as Deng Wenye's voice, gritted his teeth in anger, and said to Li Cuiqun.
He asked Li Cuiqun in panic, "Director, what should we do now?"
At this moment, Li Cuiqun wanted to tear Deng Wenye into pieces, but he also knew that now was not the time to deal with Deng Wenye. Even if he ordered the killing of Deng Wenye and others and surrendered to the Japanese, the Japanese would not let him go.
"Fight!" Li Cuiqun gritted his teeth and gave the order.
The Japanese must be stopped outside the courtyard gate. The only chance of survival now is to hold on until rescue from Wang Tianhai arrives.
Following Li Cuiqun's order, the other agents from the secret service headquarters who were still hesitating also opened fire back.
Snap, snap, snap, snap!
There was a lot of gunfire and people from both sides were shot and screaming from time to time. It was very lively.
"Shiyageki!" Onodera Masago hid behind a military truck, fired back with his service pistol, and ordered the machine gunner to open fire.
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
The Type 99 light machine gun opened fire, and the powerful firepower immediately suppressed the pistols at the secret service headquarters.
The casualties at the secret service headquarters also increased rapidly.
……
"Where did the shooting happen?" Wang Tianhai handed the phone to Chen Chunpu, his face changed and he asked.
Chen Chunpu put down the phone receiver and said, "I'll go check it out."
As he said that, he hurriedly opened the door and ran out.
"Could it be that the Japanese and Li Cuiqun are at loggerheads?" Chu Mingyu said in panic, "That would be terrible."
Wang Tianhai's face looked gloomy and uncertain.
He had just spoken to Kenji Doihara on the phone. Under his strong protection and angry protests, Kenji Doihara had stated that he would send people to stop the Qingdao gendarmerie's military operations against the secret service headquarters.
But I never expected that there had been an exchange of fire over there.
"Sir, it seems that the Japanese are determined to disarm the secret service headquarters." Chen Chunpu was very good at seizing opportunities and said immediately.
"Go now, go downstairs and find Ikegami and Saburo, and ask him to stop the military police from persecuting the secret service headquarters!" Wang Tianhai's face turned pale. "Yes, it is persecution. Just tell Ikegami and Saburo that."
He told Chen Chunpu, "If the Japanese side cannot stop the atrocities of the gendarmerie, my safety will not be fundamentally guaranteed, and there will be no need to hold tomorrow's meeting."
"I understand." Chen Chunpu was overjoyed and left in a hurry immediately.
Seeing that Wang Tianhai was still angry, Chu Mingyu tried to persuade him, "Don't worry, sir. The policy of the Xingya Academy has always been to be close to us."
Ikegami Kazusaburo was the person in charge of the Asia Development Board at the Guest House. He was responsible for the real-time communication between Wang Tianhai and the Japanese side, and also for the communication with Wang Kemin, Liang Hongzhi and others. Of course, this can also be understood as the Japanese secretly controlling everything and conducting secret surveillance under the pretext of communication services.
……
"What are you thinking about?" Atsuto Kawada asked Kentaro Miyazaki.
"I don't think Li Cuiqun will sit and wait for death." Cheng Qianfan said.
"That's perfect." Kawada Atsuto said with a smile, "Onodera is hoping there will be some resistance over there."
Although the gendarmerie was responsible for failing to provide adequate protection in this attack, the Kawada family had a common interest with the gendarmerie in avoiding the death of Fushiminomiya Shunsuke.
Of course, relatively speaking, Onodera Masago was more eager to shirk responsibility, after all, Kawada Atsuto was also a victim to some extent.
Cheng Qianfan nodded and said nothing more.
He picked up the cup and drank some water, his deep eyes flashing with an inexplicable light under the light.
Deng Wenye, it’s up to you.
His intuition told him that if given the chance, Deng Wenye would give him a surprise:
Deng Wenye was arrested by the secret service headquarters, and when he was taken away, he should have seen Shen Xi.
This was confirmed after Cheng Qianfan saw the photos of Shen Xi from Li Cuiqun.
Deng Wenye saw Shen Xi, but did not betray Shen Xi.
This shows that although Deng Wenye surrendered to Li Cuiqun, strictly speaking, he did not really intend to betray the country and become a traitor.
Under his subtle encouragement, Onodera Masago naturally made the decision to surround the secret service headquarters, and then Cheng Qianfan thought of Deng Wenye.
For the vast majority of people, it is probably not that they are afraid of death, but that they cannot bear severe torture.
He believed that among those people at Qingdao Station, there were probably many people like Deng Wenye who were not actually willing to be traitors.
In this sudden situation, if people like Deng Wenye could seize the opportunity and act accordingly, they could clear themselves of the charge of being traitors and make good use of their lives.
……
"What's going on?" Li Cuiqun asked in surprise.
"Director, it seems that the gunfire from the Japanese outside has become less frequent." Wan Haiyang said, hiding in the corner.
"Li Cuiqun, Deputy Director Li, I am Ikegami Kazusaburo from the Asia Development Institute. This is all a misunderstanding. Please cease fire immediately." Ikegami Kazusaburo got out of the car, holding a tin horn in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Stop first and don't shoot." Li Cuiqun had an idea and immediately shouted loudly.
As he said this, he winked at Wan Haiyang.
Wan Haiyang understood immediately and led a few brothers towards Deng Wenye.
……
"Deputy Director Li, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Wang Tianhai to deal with this misunderstanding." Ikegami He Saburo continued to shout.
"Director Li, it's me, Chen Chunpu." Chen Chunpu took the tin horn from Chi Shanghe Saburo and shouted.
It was Chen Chunpu's voice. Li Cuiqun was overjoyed. He hid behind the wall and shouted, "Director Chen, it wasn't me who was causing trouble. It was the locust army that surrounded me without any reason and wanted to kill me. I still don't know what's going on."
"Director Li, don't worry. Mr. Wang knows you and he believes in you." Chen Chunpu shouted, "Mr. Wang has already spoken to General Tu Feiyuan and has personally guaranteed you. This is all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? That's not what the Japanese bullets said," a voice shouted.
The one who shouted was Deng Wenye, and then he raised his hand to shoot.
However, Wan Haiyang and his men came up from behind and pinned him to the ground. A gunshot rang out and the bullet flew diagonally upwards.
Chen Chunpu, who was shouting, was startled and hurriedly hid behind a car. His heart also skipped a beat. Could it be that Li Cuiqun really had rebellious intentions?
"Director Chen, don't be alarmed." Li Cuiqun shouted immediately, "Someone from Chongqing wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, but I caught him."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay." Chen Chunpu was overjoyed. "Please rest assured, Director Li, Mr. Wang is here and will definitely do you justice."
On this side, Ikegami and Saburo came to Onodera Masago and ordered Onodera Masago to lead the team to evacuate immediately.
Onodera Masago refused to obey the order and insisted on arresting Li Cuiqun who dared to shoot in rebellion, claiming that Ikegami Kazusaburo had no authority to command the gendarmerie.
Just at this moment, a sidecar came speeding over, turned a corner and braked to a stop. A military police officer quickly ran to Onodera Masago, showed his ID and whispered to him.
Onodera Changwu was unwilling to leave. He looked at the closed gate fiercely and stomped his feet, "Retreat!"
Only when they saw the gendarmerie carrying the body and driving away did Li Cuiqun and others breathe a sigh of relief.
"Director Li, please open the door. I'll go in now." Chen Chunpu shouted.
"Open the door!" He stood up and glanced around. Seeing that his men had suffered heavy casualties, he was filled with hatred and growled as if to vent his anger.
Downstairs, Chen Chunpu whispered with Chihhang He Saburo again, and Chihhang He Saburo got in the car and left.
……
"How did it come to this?" Chen Chunpu saw Li Cuiqun, glanced at the corpses on the ground and the injured agents screaming, took a breath and asked.
"The military police surrounded us directly and came with great force." Li Cuiqun gritted his teeth and said, "There are also traitors who are trying to take advantage of the situation."
Chen Chunpu followed Li Cuiqun's gaze and saw Deng Wenye who was under control.
"Deng Wenye, the former head of the Operations Section of Qingdao Station, was the one who caused the trouble," Li Cuiqun said. "He fired the first shot, and the Japanese were waiting for this shot."
"This is troublesome." Chen Chunpu frowned. "The attack on Fushimi Palace Shunsuke was originally done by the remnants of Qingdao Station. Now there are people from Qingdao Station causing trouble here..."
"I was too eager and was deceived." Li Cuiqun shook his head. "This guy acted very smart and made me careless."
"Is there anyone else? Control them all first." Chen Chunpu said.
"They are all dead." Li Cuiqun shook his head.
Deng Wenye brought his former subordinates, who were the bravest in the exchange of fire with the Japanese. He even suspected that these people were not afraid of death at all, or were deliberately seeking death. They fired at the Japanese without any regard and soon suffered heavy casualties.
"Where are the others?" Chen Chunpu asked with a serious face.
Li Cuiqun knew that Chen Chunpu was asking about other personnel who surrendered at Qingdao Station.
"Those people are very honest and have not made any unusual moves," Li Cuiqun said. "However, just in case, I have ordered them to be kept under strict surveillance."
"Where is Ke Zhijiang?" Chen Chunpu asked.
"Ke Zhijiang is very honest." Li Cuiqun said, "Besides, he is the stationmaster of Qingdao Station and has great prestige in Qingdao Station. That's why I didn't let him out just now."
As he spoke, Li Cuiqun walked over to Deng Wenye, who was being held down by his men. He stared at Deng Wenye with a sinister look and said, "I think I have been very kind to you. I have not only given you a way out, but also pointed out a bright road for you."
"Why do you do this?" Li Cuiqun asked coldly.
"Sunny Avenue?" Deng Wenye sneered, "Being a traitor? This is the Sunny Avenue you mentioned!"
"Mr. Wang's peaceful salvation of the nation is China's only hope." Li Cuiqun's eyes were like knives. "You have been deeply poisoned by Chongqing!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the bodies of the former Qingdao Station action team members around Deng Wenye and said, "You killed them just because of your selfishness. Do you have a clear conscience?"
“Hahaha!” Deng Wenye laughed. “Brothers died on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. They can die without being branded as traitors.”
"It's a good death, how happy it is!" Deng Wenye shouted, "It's a good death!"
"Take him away and interrogate him strictly." Li Cuiqun said with a sullen face.
"Let me go, I can walk by myself." Deng Wenye struggled to get up.
Several agents subconsciously looked at Li Cuiqun.
"Take him away." Li Cuiqun gnashed his teeth in hatred.
……
"Stubborn!" Chen Chunpu's face was gloomy. "Director Li, I suggest you re-screen these people at Qingdao Station to prevent any evil-doers lurking among them."
Li Cuiqun knew that Chen Chunpu's words were actually an expression of dissatisfaction with him.
"I was careless." He nodded, "I underestimated the stubbornness of some people."
"This matter, this Deng Wenye, is very likely to be caught by the Japanese as an excuse." Chen Chunpu said, "The purpose of the Qingdao Military Police is to shirk responsibility."
"I understand." Li Cuiqun lit a cigarette and took a puff. "However, in my opinion, Deng Wenye and his people have been under surveillance. They have no chance to contact Shen Xi and his people. Therefore, that incident should have nothing to do with them."
"It's not should, it's must be irrelevant." Chen Chunpu said with a serious expression, "What happened today must be an isolated incident. It was a misunderstanding deliberately created by the spies from Qingdao Station between the Special Agent Headquarters and the Military Police. We are all victims."
"I understand." Li Cuiqun's eyes were red and full of hatred, "I have spent my whole life catching eagles, but I was pecked in the eye by a sparrow!"
"Anyway, this matter is a bit troublesome." Chen Chunpu said in a low voice, "Of course, with Mr. Wang here, he will make sure that the brothers are fine."
"The Japanese in Qingdao will not give up." He looked around, "Qingdao is not our territory after all. When the meeting ends tomorrow, you will immediately bring people to escort Mr. back to Shanghai."
Just at this moment, a scream was heard from afar.
"What's going on?" Li Cuiqun was shocked and hurried over to see.
……
Deng Wenye leaned against the corner.
Next to him was an agent from the Secret Service Headquarters whose throat had been cut. He could only breathe in but not out.
A dagger was deeply inserted into Deng Wenye's chest.
"What's going on?" Li Cuiqun was shocked and angry, "Where did the dagger come from!"
"Director, we were careless and did not search the body." An agent who made a mistake said with his head down.
Li Cuiqun glared at his men fiercely and walked to Deng Wenye.
Deng Wenye was not dead yet. He just quietly watched Li Cuiqun walking towards him.
There was a smile on his face.
He opened his mouth and large amounts of blood gushed out.
Wan Haiyang walked over and squatted down to listen to what Deng Wenye said.
Soon, Deng Wenye's mouth closed and he was completely silent.
"What did he say?" Li Cuiqun asked Wan Haiyang.
Wan Haiyang shook his head, looked around and said nothing.
Li Cuiqun snorted coldly, knowing that some things were better not to be said so as not to shake the morale of the troops.
Chen Chunpu was very curious. He walked over to Wan Haiyang and asked, "What did you say?"
Wan Haiyang covered his hands and whispered to Chen Chunpu.
"You are so stubborn!" Chen Chunpu snorted coldly, but in the end he did not dare to look at Deng Wenye's body and walked away.
Deng Wenye curled up quietly in the corner, with a smile on his face. The last thing he said was:
Brothers, wait a minute, I'm coming.
