Chapter 1 Assassination
In the spring of 1934, the 23rd year of the Republic of China.
Shanghai, French Concession.
A group of men in different costumes stood at the window of a room on the third floor, watching a middle-aged man in a robe and top hat, surrounded by three guards and got into a car at the entrance of the hotel.
"Webmaster, isn't it difficult for this special commissioner to get along with?" Yang Ding'an, deputy webmaster of Shanghai Station, said with a smile.
Chen Haoqiu smiled and did not answer positively: "It depends on your efforts. Even the chairman knows the reputation of our Shanghai station. The director has called to commend him. I hope you will continue to work hard..."
Since the first Shanghai Incident, the Japanese's wolf ambitions have been revealed: they are entrenched in Shanghai and guided to Nanjing.
The National Government attaches more and more importance to Shanghai and often sends important personnel to inspect and condolences. Guan Jingyan is the special envoy this time.
The room was filled with several main persons in charge of the Fuxing Society Secret Service station stationed in Shanghai. Due to the different nature of the intelligence agencies and the garrison, Guan Jingyan could only meet in secret. He followed the advice of the Shanghai station manager Chen Haoqiu and booked the meeting place in this hotel in the French Concession.
Several subordinates were talking in a low voice, but Chen Haoqiu frowned as he looked at the car that was gradually moving away.
If you don’t get a tiger, you will become a dog. This special commissioner highly praised Director Ma’s deeds who went to Shanghai alone many times. Even the team of guards he arranged for him were rejected. I hope there will be no accidents.
...
Guan Jingyan looked at the scenery outside the window and was very excited. From time to time, he asked the guards sitting next to him some strange stories about Shanghai.
"The special commissioner, I'm about to arrive at the Japanese territory, and it's not peaceful yet..."
"Everyone said he called me Senior Brother, why are you still so disgusted?" Guan Jingyan smiled and scolded Fang Buwei.
Fang Buwei just smiled slightly and did not respond.
As an adjutant in the attendant's office, Guan Jingyan can be regarded as a confidant of the chairman, and Fang Buwei was just a team leader of the Operations Section of the Fuxing Society Secretariat Office. The status of the two is very different.
Fang Buwei's military academy has excellent grades, good skills, good marksmanship, and quick brains. When he graduated a year ago, he was assigned to the secret service office.
Not long after he left, Guan Jingyan was out for inspection. The Secret Service sent someone to accompany him to escort him. Director Ma knew his classmate's habits well, so he chose someone with a graduation background in Huangpu, but he happened to be selected.
Guan Jingyan likes students of the Whampoa Military Academy the most and often regards himself as a disciple of the emperor. In addition, he is not a young man and is cautious and steady. After getting along with each other, Guan Jingyan is very much valued.
After a few times when he went to work in another place, Guan Jingyan would make Fang Buwei accompany him. When he encountered a surprise attack, Fang Buwei calmly led Guan Jingyan to surround him and saved his life. Since then, Guan Jingyan has regarded Fang Buwei as a close friend.
Guan Jingyan's evaluation of the task that the other party Buwei was extraordinary every time. In less than a year, Fang Buwei's military rank was promoted to the next level and became a second lieutenant. His rank also increased, becoming the captain of the first team of the first operation group of the Operations Division.
"Special commissioner, the Japanese intelligence agency is quite powerful in Shanghai, so it's better to be careful..." Fang Buwei advised again.
Guan Jingyan smiled, "The principal often praises Brother Chunfeng for his dire power and regards the Japanese concession as a no-man. As a benchmark, why are you always so careful?"
Fang Buwei was not excited at all: "If you kill the enemy on the battlefield, you should strive for the first place, but the special commissioner..."
"Okay, I know you are my guard now... Then let's take a look here!" Guan Jingyan said.
Guan Jingyan wanted to go to the Japanese concession to see it. However, with Fang Buwei's insistence, he failed to make a move several times.
Seeing that Guan Jingyan no longer insisted, Fang Buwei breathed a sigh of relief.
Guan Jingyan looked out curiously through the car window, pointed to the distance and asked, "Is there Hongkou in front?"
Fang Buwei nodded: "I crossed the road. It was originally a public concession, but later the Japanese stationed troops, and the Shanghai people called Hongkou the Japanese concession..."
After just a few minutes of watching, Guan Jingyan lost interest. Except for seeing some Japanese in kimonos walking together, the rest is no different from those in Nanjing.
He actually wanted to take a close look at the overview of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, and to express his merits to the principal after he returned.
But what Fang Buwei said makes sense. The reason why Ma Chunfeng repeatedly entered the tiger's den was that no one knew his true face. He had been wandering in Shanghai for many days and made a public appearance, so he was probably staring in the eyes of Japanese agents.
Guan Jingyan asked the driver to turn his head and prepare to return the same way, pass through the French Concession, and return to Zhabei Military Camp.
I have met the head of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, and his mission for this trip is over and he plans to return to Nanjing tomorrow.
The driver had just turned the car over and suddenly rushed out of the opposite side, raised his gun and shot at the body of the car.
When he heard the first gunshot, the three guards, including Yi Fang Buwei, reacted and lowered their bodies as soon as possible.
Guan Jingyan's assistant, who was sitting on the passenger seat, was shot several times and was dead.
The tire was blown up, and the car hit a shop on the side of the road and stopped.
Fang Buwei pressed Guan Jingyan's head down, took out his pistol, kicked open the inside door, and protected Guan Jingyan from the car with his waist and hid behind the car.
After graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy, Guan Jingyan participated in the Northern Expedition and was considered to be a long battle. Although he was shocked, he was not confused. He took out a pistol from under his robe and hid behind the car and shot him back.
The bullets fired by the other party were basically all shot on the body of the car, and the gunshots were like beans bursting out in a wok, making a "crackling" sound.
Fortunately, the other party was holding a pistol, which could not penetrate the steel plate of the car.
"Get out!" Fang Buwei roared at the driver Xu Jintao and guard Lin Zhicheng, then climbed onto the ground and hit each other's legs along the gap at the bottom of the car.
Hearing a few screams and accompanied by Japanese scolding, two gunmen sat on the ground with their legs in their arms.
"Is it a Japanese?" Fang Buwei shouted while shooting.
"Enter the alley!" Guan Jingyan looked at the alley three or five meters away.
Fang Buwei hesitated. There were only seven or eight gunmen on the opposite side. He knew that even if he didn't even look for a bunker, he knew that although these were Japanese, Ken was not a special agent in the Special High School class, and he was likely to be a ronin.
With his own and Lin Zhicheng's shooting skills, he could completely defeat these people.
"Let's go!" Guan Jingyan fired two more shots at the opposite side, but his marksmanship was not very good, and the bullets were flying there.
The mission this time is to protect, not to kill the enemy. Fang Buwei gritted his teeth, "I cover up, special envoy, be careful!"
"Baoba!" Fang Buwei showed his head, raised his pistol and shot at the opponent a few times. He heard two more screams, and the gunfire on the opponent weakened.
Chapter completed!
