Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 237

The next morning, when Michitake Yamaoka was getting dressed, Qian Xiaobao pushed the door open and entered.He put a newspaper on the bed.

There were two rows of characters on the front page of the newspaper: "Twenty bodyguards escorted the body, and the villain Chen Lu finally ascended to the ghost register!"

Dotake Yamaoka carefully looked at the photo under the title, which is the foreign minister of the reform government who welcomed him on the pier yesterday!

"So the gunshots heard yesterday were aimed at him?" Yamaoka Michitake said.

Since this is a concession area, some anti-Japanese propaganda can also be published in newspapers.Even though the Japanese protested to the United States, Britain and France, the three countries always blocked them under the pretext of maintaining freedom of the press.

"The dead man lived not far from here. It seems that Shanghai is not safe." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Today I'm here to meet with some people from the dispatched army. Tomorrow we will leave here for Nanjing." Yamaoka Michitake said.

He came to Shanghai this time mainly to learn about the secret negotiations.However, there is also the purpose of understanding Japan's rule in East China.

So Yamaoka Dotake is going to meet several officers of the Central China Dispatch Army in the hotel.

Nakamoto Tatsuo, the special commissioner of the appeasement third area, was the first to meet and talk with Yamaoka Michitake at the Recha Hotel today.

The meeting ended after an hour.Michio Yamaoka got up to send Tatsuo Nakamoto downstairs.

"Sir, let me send Mr. Nakamoto out." Qian Xiaobao said.

Yamaoka Michitake and Nakamoto Tatsuo were stunned.

Tatsuo Nakamoto looked at Mowtake Yamaoka dissatisfied.Can a subordinate be so unrestrained in front of the chief?
A trace of sullenness flashed across Yamaoka Michitake's face.But he hesitated when he thought of the newspaper he saw this morning.

"Sir, please!" Qian Xiaobao stretched out his hand to Tatsuo Nakamoto without waiting for Michitake Yamaoka to make a decision.

Tatsuo Nakamoto snorted dissatisfiedly, turned around and walked out.Qian Xiaobao followed closely.

Yamaoka Michitake didn't speak, and watched the two leave the room.

Tatsuo Nakamoto, who was angry in his heart, walked quickly.He went to the ground floor and walked through the hotel lobby straight to the revolving door.

When Qian Xiaobao walked to the steps of the hotel through the revolving door, Tatsuo Nakamoto had already walked down the steps.

"Please go, sir!" Qian Xiaobao said with a bow.

Tatsuo Nakamoto walked towards the car he was sitting in without looking back.

At this moment, a black car ignited and roared from 20 meters away, and then stopped abruptly in front of Tatsuo Nakamoto.

Three black muzzles protruded from the car window and pulled the trigger on Tatsuo Nakamoto.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
Caught off guard, Nakamoto Tatsuo was shot one after another, his body shook twice and fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time that the muzzle was protruding from the car window, Qian Xiaobao turned around like an electric shock and rushed towards the revolving door of the hotel.

When the gunshot sounded, he had already been transferred to the inside of the hotel by the selection door.

When Tatsuo Nakamoto fell to the ground, the wheels of the car creaked, and then rushed forward and disappeared from sight.

There were two marks left by rubber friction on the ground.

When Michitake Yamaoka heard the gunshot and rushed to the window to look down from the side, he only saw Tatsuo Nakamoto lying face down on the ground.The pool of blood beside his body was getting bigger and bigger.

At this moment, Qian Xiaobao rushed into the room and said, "Sir, this place is too dangerous. Change places quickly!"

Yamaoka Michitake thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It can't be changed! According to the original plan, we will leave here for Nanjing tomorrow!"

If he leaves Licha Hotel now, he will tell others that he is afraid of death.Even if it is tough, it will last until tomorrow.

Be sure to act nonchalant.

Because this is the French Concession.After a while, several cars from the French police station arrived at the entrance of the Licha Hotel.

A few tall French police officers and a few dark and thin assistants got out of the car.

Yamaoka Michitake and Ogasawara Qian Xiaobao stood in front of the window condescendingly watching the whole process of their handling.

Since such things have happened frequently in Shanghai for more than a year.It's not the first time these patrolmen have dealt with such a thing.

After a brief survey of the scene, they carried Tatsuo Nakamoto's body to the truck that arrived and then pulled it back to the patrol room to notify the Japanese occupation forces in Shanghai to collect the body.

Yamaoka Michitake looked down at the person who was talking to him an hour ago had turned into a bloody corpse.

He glanced sideways at Qian Xiaobao who was standing by the window looking out.If it weren't for Qian Xiaobao's insistence, the consequences of sending Tatsuo Nakamoto out of the hotel gate would have been disastrous.

It must have been two bodies that were now being carried onto the truck.

"You did a good job!" Michitake Yamaoka patted Qian Xiaobao on the shoulder and said.

In order to show that he was not afraid, he still met and held long talks with those who rushed to the hotel to meet Yamaoka Michitake.

But Michimu Yamaoka didn't need Qian Xiaobao's persuasion at all, he never left his room.

Takeo Imai, who got the news, came with a few of his men.

"It's not a big deal." Yamaoka Mowtake was completely indifferent when he spoke.

"The two people I brought are enough to protect my safety. You don't need to bring people. Just leave a car for me to use at any time." Yamaoka Michitake continued.

At the insistence of Yamaoka, Takeo Imai left a car and left.

"Ogasawara, you go out and check the car carefully. Then you drive it out to refuel and take a turn before coming back." Yamaoka Michitake ordered.

After Ogasawara left without knowing why, Yamaoka Michitake said to Qian Xiaobao: "Pack up your things immediately, and we will set off for Nanjing immediately when Ogasawara comes back!"

An hour later, Ogasawara, who checked the car and went out to fill up the gas, came back again.

"Ogasawara, let's drive to Nanjing right away!" Yamaoka Michitake said.

Without greeting anyone, Michitake Yamaoka took Ogasawara and Qian Xiaobao and hurriedly drove away from Shanghai to Nanjing in the dark.

Yamaoka Michitake can't trust anyone in his heart now.Originally, his trip to Shanghai was a secret operation.Now it is known to everyone in Shanghai.

Could it be that someone deliberately did this with malicious intentions so that the killer of the Republic of China government lurking in Shanghai would kill him?

The more Dotake Yamaoka thought about it, the more he felt that Shanghai could not stay any longer.

Ogasawara held the steering wheel and concentrated on driving the car.Qian Xiaobao was sitting on the passenger seat, holding the long-handled Nanfang Type [-] pistol and staring out the window.

During the [-]-kilometer journey, the car stopped and stopped after passing through checkpoints on the road.Finally arrived in Nanjing City in the early morning.

"Go directly to the headquarters of the Central China Dispatch Army. I want to meet General Yamada Otozo immediately." Yamaoka Michitake said.

　Chen Lu was assassinated by the military commander on February [-], [-].It was about the same time as Qian Xiaobao arrived in Shanghai.So is Tatsuo Nakamoto.
