Chapter 1345 Zuo Zhong brought Xu Enzeng to his side

"Old Xu, I wish you a happy birthday every year. Come, let's drink this cup."

Zuo Zhong came to Xu Enzeng with a wine glass and said a toast with a smile. This confused Xu Enzeng and he didn't know what the other party was up to.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Enzeng forced a smile and said in return: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, cheers."

He replied dryly and drank the wine in the glass. Perhaps the alcohol made him braver, and he asked Zuo Chong why the Military Control Commission evacuated the police dormitory.

A few days ago, the Military Intelligence Bureau spies including Gui Youguang withdrew in batches. Xu Enzeng was very uneasy when he learned about it. He always felt that there was a conspiracy behind this matter, so he took the opportunity to ask about it today.

Seeing the suspicion and vigilance in Xu Enzeng's eyes, Zuo Zhong laughed and made up an excuse: "Japanese spies are rampant recently, and the Military Control Commission has a lot of cases on hand. I can only ask you, Old Xu, to take care of the police dormitory."

As he spoke, Zuo Zhong sneered in his heart. It was too late for Xu Enzeng to realize something was wrong now. The other party would soon know what despair was.

Zuo Zhong's smile grew brighter. He raised his glass again and clinked it with Xu Enzeng's. Just as he was about to chat with him, he heard gunshots suddenly in the distance.

"bang"

A Japanese spy from the Special Committee on China sneaked into the police dormitory and ran into a Central Bureau of Investigation agent who came out to urinate. Both sides were stunned for a moment and then drew their guns and shot at each other. The Central Bureau of Investigation agent was shot to pieces, but the Japanese spy was also exposed.

The Japanese spy chief cursed inwardly and ordered an all-out assault on the banquet site. According to the information sent back by the mole, the underground party prisoners would also be present today.

As the front-line commander of the operation, Jiang Baochun rushed to the front, mercilessly shooting at the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents who came rushing over after hearing the noise with his submachine gun, and led the team straight to the target.

Seeing how brave "Fujiwara-kun" was, other Japanese spies also rushed towards the banquet area. Relying on sneak attacks and firepower advantages, the devils broke through the Central Bureau of Investigation's defense line almost instantly.

Hearing the gunshots, the Japanese spy teams No. 76 and Nakano School were startled. Then Wu Sibao and Kujo Wataru made the same choice: attack by force!

Since an exchange of fire has already begun, secret infiltration will definitely not work. It would be better to launch an operation while the Central Bureau of Investigation is dealing with an unknown enemy and reap the benefits.

Just before Jiujo Wataru and Wu Sibao started fighting, Zuo Zhong took a step back and protected Xu Enzeng in front of him, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, ready to tease the other party.

"Oh!"

"Boom!"

Gunshots and explosions were heard simultaneously from two other directions of the police dormitory. Zuo Zhong's smile froze on his face. Wait, what's going on? Why are there three waves of people attacking?

According to his plan, only No. 76 and the Special Committee on China should take action. The Special Committee on China would be responsible for attracting attention, while No. 76 would be responsible for taking advantage of the situation to rescue the underground party prisoners.

The underground party's rescuers will kidnap the prisoners during the retreat of No. 76, so that the matter will become an unsolved case and no one will suspect him.

After all, many people in the Military Control Commission knew about Zuo Zhong's plan, and since it was a trap for the Central Control Commission, there was no need to keep it secret.

Besides, who would dare to question the "loyal" Deputy Director Zuo? Even someone as suspicious as Old Dai would only think that there was a traitor in the Military Control Commission.

But the result gave Zuo Chong a slap in the face. Hase Ryosuke's men and traitor No. 76 acted on time, but this third party that came out of nowhere was definitely not the underground party rescue personnel.

The underground party attaches great importance to discipline and it is impossible for them to change the plan without authorization. So there is only one possibility left, that is, someone else has set his sights on the police dormitory.

From the rhythm of the gunshots, one could tell that these people's attack was extremely methodical, unlike ordinary intelligence personnel and soldiers.

The sudden change caused chaos at the banquet. The guests ran around in fear, some hid under the table, and some squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling.

Gu Qi walked closer to Zuo Zhong and asked quietly, "Second Commander, do you want to send our people to check the situation?"

"Well, let's go take a look." Zuo Zhong hesitated for a moment, pointed in the direction of the unknown enemy and ordered Gui Youguang: "Take your men to support the Central Bureau of Investigation, and be careful, these people are not simple."

"Don't worry, Vice-President."

Gui Youguang left excitedly. Wu Chunyang was a little worried and followed him quickly. Wu Jingzhong and Song Minghao stood beside Lao Dai and acted as temporary guards.

The sound of the military unit talking woke Xu Enzeng up. He grabbed Zuo Zhong by the collar and asked, "Zuo, did you know that someone was going to launch a surprise attack? Otherwise, why did you withdraw your men?"

Zuo Zhong pushed his claws away and said innocently, "Old Xu, where do you get that from? If we knew someone was coming to attack, why would my teacher and I come to the banquet? You're overthinking it."

"you!"

Xu Enzeng was speechless.

Zuo Zhong ignored him, glanced at the noisy crowd, and asked Xu Enzeng a question: "Who suggested you hold the banquet?"

When Xu Enzeng heard this, he was startled. The fear of being controlled by a traitor once again struck his heart. He quickly turned around to look for Fei Wu, but there was no trace of him at the scene.

He stomped his feet in anger, took out his pistol and rushed towards the firefight with the guards, showing some heroic spirit.

There was no way. He was the one who hosted the banquet and invited the guests. If something happened to the people attending the banquet, the two Chens would not be able to protect him.

"Hold it! Hold it!"

After hiding in a corner, Xu Enzeng shouted at his men, but the continuous bullets caused the wall to be shattered into flying brick chips. The spies pushed and shoved but refused to go out.

Wu Sibao on the opposite side pulled the trigger, and the MP18 submachine gun sprayed out deadly flames. Traitor No. 76 took the opportunity to press forward and repelled Xu Enzeng's counterattack.

Most of the No. 76 agents came from underworld backgrounds, had low military literacy, and no tactical coordination, but they had a ruthlessness, which was exactly what the Central Bureau of Investigation agents lacked.

The enemy's progress in the other two directions was also not slow. Led by Jiang Baochun, the Japanese spies of the Special Committee for China were advancing rapidly and approached the banquet site, less than a hundred meters away from the prisoners.

Instructors from the Central Field Army School, such as Kujo Wataru, continued to advance with the help of the buildings. Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang were defeated, and they left behind the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics personnel and fought and retreated, preparing to cover the departure of Zuo Chong and Dai Chunfeng.

"Deputy Commander, something is wrong. You and the commander should go first." Wu Chunyang hurried over to report.

Gui Youguang, who used to be so noisy, now became listless and led his team back in a dusty and dusty state.

It’s not that the Military Intelligence Bureau agents were unable to defeat the Japanese spies, but because they did not carry any automatic firepower with them when they came to the banquet, and they did not have the advantage in numbers, so they could only make a "tactical transition" first.

Zuo Zhong's face turned pale. Everything was a mess, all messed up. The carefully prepared drama had become a joke.

He decisively activated the backup plan and looked at Lao Dai and said, "Teacher, let's get on board."

Dai Chunfeng nodded and walked quickly towards the river with an expression neither sad nor happy. To be honest, Old Dai was still confused at this moment and had no idea what had happened.

The original plan of the Military Intelligence Bureau was to let No. 76 and the Japanese spies kidnap the prisoners, and then they would find an opportunity to take them back. However, who knew that an unknown enemy would appear.

Wu Jingzhong drew a circle in the air with a flashlight. After seeing the signal, the small steamer on standby slowly approached the shore, and the members of the Military Control Commission lined up to board the ship.

In the banquet area, the underground party prisoners remained calm and continued to sit in their seats and enjoy their meals, which was in stark contrast to the gunfire and bullets around them.

Two minutes later, Kujo Wataru and his companions were the first to arrive at the messy dining area. Fei Wu crawled out from under the table, raised his hands high, and shouted, "Taijun, target number one is there, and targets number two and three have gone to the riverside."

The locations of Xu Enzeng, Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong were leaked by Fei Wu. The underground party captives around them glared at them and called them traitors.

Jiujo Shige had no time to deal with the underground party, so he divided the operatives into two groups, one group to search for Xu Enzeng, and the other group to hunt down the Military Control Commission, trying to eliminate Xu Enzeng and the other two before the Kuomintang reinforcements arrived.

Several instructors from the Nakano School followed orders and searched forward, only to run into Jiang Baochun head-on. The two teams of Japanese spies did not hesitate and started fighting on the spot.

Gun against gun, knife against knife, the Japanese from different intelligence agencies tried every means to kill each other.

During the fight, a Japanese spy who belonged to the Special Committee on China let out a painful roar in Japanese. Kujo Wataru was startled and quickly stated his identity in Japanese.

"Hashidou Madai, we are special operations personnel from the Army General Staff Headquarters. Who are you?"

The scene suddenly became quiet. Jiang Baochun's eyes flickered and he wanted to continue the attack, but was stopped by the Japanese spy leader. The two gangs of Japanese spies then ceased fighting and each sent one person to verify their identities.

Although they were not from the same agency and did not have any identification, the two teams were able to confirm each other's identities by inquiring about the Japanese army's internal intelligence and certain confidential information.

After receiving the report from their subordinates, Kujo Shige and the Japanese spy leader walked out of the team. The two looked at each other and after fighting for a long time, they found out that they were one of their own.

After a brief discussion, the two sides decided to join forces. For a high-risk operation like this, the more manpower the better.

Unexpectedly, just as the deal was done, another group of people broke into the scene. Kujo Wataru was worried about repeating the same mistake, so he carefully asked about the identity and purpose of the people who came.

Hearing the familiar Japanese words, Wu Sibao opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he stammered and replied that he was a member of No. 76 and that his mission this time was to kidnap underground party prisoners.

Kujo Shigeki and the Japanese spy chief cursed in a low voice, and at the same time thought about how to deal with these new government agents.

Because they were worried that Wu Sibao and others were intelligence agents of the Kuomintang government, the two men simply let Wu Sibao act freely.

Wu Sibao was secretly delighted when he heard this. Free action had its advantages. At least he would not be thrown out by the Japanese as a scapegoat. After realizing this, he turned around and left, fearing that the Japanese would go back on their word.

In response to his reaction, Kujo smiled contemptuously and turned to search for Xu Enzeng with the Special Committee on China, who was their number one sanctions target.

However, the Japanese spies defeated several groups of Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics agents in succession and never found Xu Enzeng. It is said that the enemy mysteriously disappeared as soon as the battle started.

At the riverside, seeing that the pursuers were about to catch up, Wu Chunyang fired two shots at the enemy to suppress the enemy, then turned around and boarded the steamer.

He grabbed the railing with his right hand and pulled it hard, then jumped upwards. Just as he was about to board the ship, a gunshot rang out.

"Boom."

"Ouch."

Wu Chunyang covered his butt and plunged into the cabin.

"Protect the Director!!"

Seeing the director was shot, the young agents swarmed over and pinned Wu Chunyang down. Wu Chunyang, who was only scratched, was barely able to catch his breath and was nearly crushed to death.

"Set the ship quickly!"

Gu Qi loudly ordered the captain that once the ship reached the center of the river, they would be safe and no matter how powerful the enemy was, they could only watch helplessly.

As expected, facing the gradually receding steamer, the Japanese spies were furious but helpless and could only fire a few random shots to vent their anger.

In the darkness, there was another person with a terrified look on his face, standing there muttering to himself: "I haven't even boarded the boat yet!"
