Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 742

In the next half month, Masao Ikei and Mamoru Matsui began to look for new suitable targets.They frequently walked into various banks, and then asked the other two to visit and confirm the bank they thought was suitable.

In the end, the three jointly decided to attack the Shiinacho branch of the Imperial Bank of Toshima District.

"We will attack the target in two days, we must make careful preparations to succeed in one fell swoop!" Matsui Wei said.

Since the three of them had checked into the Shiinamachi branch more than once these days, Qian Xiaobao and the others were basically sure that Matsui Wei and the others should be planning to attack the bank.

"Kawakami, you have to be ready at the police station these days. When one of these three people enters the bank, I will call you immediately, and then you drive out the prepared car. You need a car to solve these three people " Qian Xiaobao said.

Kawakami Cao Chang nodded in agreement.

"We're waiting for them to do it now." Qian Xiaobao continued.

First, Da Shangang, who followed Matsui Wei, came back and reported to Qian Xiaobao that Matsui Wei had boarded the train and left Tokyo.

"Do you know where he went?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"North, train to Sendai." Oyamaoka replied.

"Do some tricks on the door of Matsui Wei's house. If he comes back and opens the door, he will be able to see it immediately. Then you go to check it every once in a while." Qian Xiaobao said to Da Shangang.

Masao Ikei, who had put on makeup at noon the next day, left the shed he rented with the medical suitcase.

He walked for half an hour and passed by the Shiina branch where he was going to start, and then sat down on a bench at the corner of the street a few hundred meters away from the Shiina branch to wait for the time.

Qian Xiaobao, who was following him, hurriedly found a pay phone and called Mr. Cao Kawakami to get him ready for the car.

Twenty minutes later, Sadao Onoue walked along the street, and he nodded slightly as he passed Masao Ikei.

More than 20 meters behind him was Second Lieutenant Abe following him.

Qian Xiaobao watched indifferently as the two people passed by him one after another.

After a while, Da Shangang also came, and Qian Xiaobao raised his chin in the direction of the Shiina branch, meaning to let him wait directly near the Shiina branch.

Da Shangang understood and left directly.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Masao Ikei looked at his watch for the last time, then quickly opened the suitcase and took out a windbreaker to wear on his body.

On the sleeves of this windbreaker is the armband of the "Tokyo Metropolitan Epidemic Prevention Team".

Masao Ikei walked towards the Shiina branch with his suitcase, and 10 minutes later he had arrived at the door of the Shiina branch.

At this time, the doors of the Shiina branch for customers to enter and exit have been closed, and the staff are doing the final count of the day in the bank.

Masao Ikei walked into the convenient door that had been inspected earlier and came into the bank.

In the lobby, more than a dozen employees are busy behind the counter with their heads bowed.

"Where is your store manager? I was sent by the Occupation Army Command to carry out disinfection tasks!" Masao Ikei said loudly.

The staff raised their heads and looked at Masao Ikei.

"Get your store manager quickly. I'm a medical clerk from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and I'm here to carry out disinfection tasks." Masao Ikei repeated.

A man in his 40s walked out of the counter and bowed and said to Masao Ikei: "The store manager is not feeling well and did not come today. I am the deputy store manager Yoshida Takejiro. Please tell me if you have anything."

"Four dysentery patients appeared in Teshima today, and one of them said that he had been to your bank today. So the headquarters of the occupation army sent me to carry out inspection and disinfection. I first gave all the staff here the medicine to prevent dysentery, After a while, a disinfection truck will come to disinfect the entire bank," Masao Ikei said.

Today, the deputy store manager Yoshida Takejiro is much easier to deal with than the Watanabe Chugo that Onoue met.He neither sent anyone out to the police station to inquire nor called to report to his superiors, so he just nodded in agreement.

"All the people came out to gather, and then let the people from the Ministry of Health and Welfare distribute the medicine." Takejiro Yoshida said to the staff.

The clerks came out of the counter and stood in a line in the lobby.

At this moment, four more people came out from the corridor, men and women in their 40s, a girl of seventeen or eighteen, and a boy of eight or nine.

Seeing Masao Ikei's puzzled eyes, Takejiro Yoshida explained: "This is the bank cleaner who is about to leave work. His wife and two children will pick him up from get off work. Will they all take preventive medicine?"

Looking at the two children, Masao Ikei gritted his teeth and replied, "Of course, everyone must take medicine!"

Seeing all sixteen people in the bank, including the child, standing in a row waiting for him to distribute preventive medicines, Masao Ikei nodded in satisfaction.

He opened the medical suitcase, took out a bottle of clean water, opened it, and sucked a little water into the cup with a dropper.

"Because the medicine is irritating to a certain extent, it is necessary to pour the medicine directly into the throat. After taking the medicine for the first time, I will give you another medicine in one minute." Masao Ikei said while holding a water glass.

Then he demonstrated in front of everyone, raised his head and opened his mouth wide, pouring clear water directly down his throat.

"Next, I'll start distributing medicine to everyone." Masao Ikei said.

As he spoke, he took out the medicine containing acetone cyanohydrin from the medical suitcase.Opening the medicine bottle, Masao Ikei skillfully dripped six milliliters of the medicine into the water cups each person was holding with a dropper.

Masao Ikei, who has worked in the Kwantung Army's epidemic prevention and water supply department for many years, is very familiar with this task.

"Okay, you can take it." Masao Ikei said.

He watched everyone grimacing as they poured the medicine into their mouths.

Takejiro Yoshida felt as if he had just taken a sip of strong alcohol, his throat was strongly stimulated, and his mouth was filled with the taste of bitter almonds.

However, apart from the strong stimulation, all the people did not experience any other discomfort.

Ikei stood there tensely and counted the time. The medicine hadn't decomposed yet, so nothing happened.

After 1 minute, Ikei Masao said: "Now you can take the second preventive medicine."

Then he opened the bottle of clear water and poured clear water into everyone's cup for them to swallow.In fact, this step is to kill time, let these people stay here and don't move around, waiting for the drug to take effect.

Sure enough, 1 minute later, the drug started to kick in, and the eight or nine-year-old child groaned in pain.

"It's so uncomfortable, I have to go to the bathroom," said one clerk.

"I'm going too." Yoshida Takejiro said.But he followed the staff and fell to the ground within a few steps!

Others also fell to the ground one after another, twisting their bodies and moaning in pain!
At this time, Masao Ikei quickly took out the prepared pocket and rushed into the counter to put the money on the desk into the pocket.

Two minutes later, Masao Ikei walked out of the bank with his suitcase and pockets, glanced around quickly, then nodded to Sadao Ogami who was standing across the street and walked along the street.

Sadao Onue followed Masao Ikei.

"Don't worry, there are too many people here. Wait until you get to a place where there are few people!" Qian Xiaobao said calmly, looking at the two people from a distance.
