Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

He Yuzhu didn't want to get involved in this matter. One reason was that he was worried about He Yushui's safety, and the other was that he didn't want to show off in front of Company Commander Yue.

If someone is shot in a vital spot and comes back to life despite being supposed to die, should they be sliced ​​into lamb rolls for research?

He Yuzhu didn't want to get involved, but after walking about seventy meters and getting closer to his alley, he heard footsteps ahead again. It was past ten o'clock at night, and very few people were out.

"The rain continues to move forward, moving towards the center."

"Um."

"Did you study hard at school today?" He Yuzhu asked He Yushui in a normal voice.

"Nothing happened. I've been studying and playing with my classmates after class. It seems like only the boys fight at school, and it happens every day."

The teacher often criticizes them, but they don't care. Every few days they get into fights again. They're not good students. He Yushui echoed her brother's words.

"It's quite common for male students to fight at school..."

The two sides were about seven or eight meters apart. He Yuzhu spoke while using the light to spot two more people. They were both short and had bowlegs. They must be two Japanese soldiers.

If we let them go any further and they see Company Commander Yue and his men, we should fire warning shots. Things will get much worse, and it will be another firefight, making it much harder to capture them alive.

Knock them unconscious, interrogate them later. The two siblings and two suspicious individuals were less than three meters apart, with a two-meter gap between them.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything. As the two passed each other, he suddenly sprang up and quickly came up behind them.

With a swift left and right strike, he delivered two palm strikes to the necks of the two Japanese soldiers, who were immediately knocked unconscious in terror.

"Rain, put your bike on and go home by yourself. I have something to discuss with Company Commander Yue."

"Fine, I'll go back by myself. You're not taking me with you." He Yushui felt very capable.

"Next time," He Yuzhu said dismissively.

He Yuzhu, carrying two suspicious men, arrived at the entrance of the alley where Company Commander Yue was hiding. "Company Commander Yue, I've caught two more suspicious men. Search them first."

"Alright, there aren't many people out at night, and they look like Japanese soldiers. You two search them thoroughly." Company Commander Yue acted decisively and efficiently.

"Company commander, they have two guns on them, they're 'flower-mouthed' pistols," a soldier whispered to his superior. "...hundreds of thousands of yuan."

Japanese spies were primarily issued the Browning M1910 pistol (also known as the "Flower-Mouthed Pistol"). Manufactured by the Belgian company FN, this 7.65mm pistol used an 8-round magazine and had an effective range of 50 meters, making it suitable for close-quarters self-defense.

"Tie up the two Japanese soldiers and gag them. Xiao Tao, keep an eye on them. We can't wait any longer. If they don't arrive soon, the Japanese soldiers inside will become alert and on guard. We have no choice but to attack."

"Enter from either side of the wall, or from the main gate. Use a knife to pry open the bolt; there are at least two drunkards inside," He Yuzhu suggested.

"That's a solution, Comrade He Yuzhu. You should go home first. This is our job. You're just an ordinary citizen; we can't let anything happen to you."

"Xiao Li, go back and bring the Second Platoon over. We'll go in and have them guard the alley entrance and the neighboring houses. Don't let a single Japanese soldier escape, and don't let anything happen to the neighbors," Company Commander Yue instructed.

"Yes." Xiao Li responded in a low voice. He was the Xiao Li who often visited the courtyard house.

He Yuzhu also left.

Less than fifteen minutes after returning to the courtyard house, He Yuzhu heard four gunshots at home, after which he heard no more gunshots.

The military control officers captured several Japanese soldiers inside the house; otherwise, a fierce firefight would have broken out between the two sides. It's good that their soldiers were unharmed.

Sleeping is the most important thing; you'll get praised for it.

The next day at the restaurant, the fourth senior apprentice asked as soon as he entered, "Zhu Zi, last night, they were arresting spies in Fuxiang Hutong. You live nearby, did you hear the gunshots?"

"I heard that. They were arresting some Japanese soldiers. I reported it to the authorities..." He Yuzhu did not hide anything.

"Damn, you're really brave and meticulous. You actually found four Japanese soldiers. You've done another great service."

I heard this morning that a total of thirty-odd people were captured alive. One soldier was shot in the arm, but no one from the military control commission died, and not a single Japanese soldier died either.

There are supposedly thirty-odd Japanese soldiers? Even ten would be too many, five or six would be more like it. The common people are exaggerating.

"I don't know the exact number, but I saw four Japanese soldiers. I knocked two of them unconscious before I was sure they were Japanese. After that, I went home, and the rest was the responsibility of the military control commission."

"I heard there were quite a few of them, and the military control commission wiped them all out. Those little devils deserve to die; let them all eat peanuts."

"We don't need to leave a single Japanese soldier behind. It's such a waste of food. Zhu Zi, what time did you go back last night?" Master Ma asked.

"By the time we got to Fuxiang Hutong, it was already past ten o'clock."

"You must have had a tough night. I didn't expect them to be eating and drinking until after nine o'clock. It's good to catch a few Japanese devils. There are quite a few people like that in Yanjing City, and they haven't caught them all yet."

There are far too many to catch; there are still quite a few. 'Su Xiaoya' didn't report to the authorities herself, so her arrest won't happen until at least 55 years later.

Back then, Beijing was said to have "100,000 enemy agents," which was an exaggeration. However, there were still at least 10,000. In recent years, they were frantically arresting people, and even the well-hidden agents couldn't be caught.

"Pillar, please be careful after get off work. The robbers are gone from your area, but a bunch of Japanese have appeared. Why don't you do a thorough investigation?" The master was still quite worried.

"Master, don't worry, Zhu Zi is incredibly skilled in combat; he only took out a few Japanese soldiers." Fourth Senior Brother thought He Yuzhu was formidable.

"No matter how good you are at fighting, you can't beat a gun." Master is the real veteran.

"Master is right."

"You're just going to brush me off. You young people should be careful what you do."

must."

I got off work early today, and returned to the courtyard house at 7:30.

"Brother, winter's coming, when are we going to turn on the stove to warm the house?"

"There's still some coal left at home. If you're feeling cold, turn on the stove today to keep warm. I'll go buy some more coal on Sunday the 5th."

"Let's save some energy. We're sleeping under the covers now, so it's not too cold. Let's hold out for a few more days before we start cooking again."

"He's young, but he's quite good at managing money. I just received a million-dollar bonus yesterday, and there will be more in a few days. There's no need to be frugal. We'll have at least two million dollars this month."

"Really, my brother is so good at making money, even better than Dad. We'll start cooking next week." He Yushui stopped talking about saving money.

"We have money, so you don't need to be stingy. You can start the fire later; it'll keep us warm tonight, and the coal in the house can last for more than ten days."

"I'll start a fire to keep warm in a bit."

As the brother and sister were talking, Tan Guilan arrived at the house, probably because she saw the lights were on and someone was home.

"Zhu Zi, last night the head of the house in Fuxiang Hutong captured seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers. It was terrifying. You're coming back late, so be extra careful. They probably have quite a few people in Yanjing."

Haha, in less than a day, the number of Japanese soldiers has increased by more than forty, and by tomorrow it will exceed one hundred. Our people will be gossiping about it.

"Don't worry, Aunt Tan, I will be careful. The Japanese won't provoke me easily; they are also worried about exposing themselves."

"Be careful, I'm going back now."
