Chapter 568: The Director was targeted

Is it gold?

No.

Is it a DShK heavy machine gun?

No.

All Zhang Yong saw was a large dish of chicken. It was a DP-28 DShK machine gun.

The large circular magazine was its unique mark.

The magazine can hold 47 rounds. It has excellent firepower sustainability.

A normal Czech light machine gun can only hold 20 rounds in the straight magazine.

One is worth two.

It's cheap and generous.

The bullets used in the Big Plate Chicken are the same as those used in the Mosin-Nagant rifle. So the previous hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition can be fully used.

If it were the army from the south, there might be some problems due to the different bullet specifications. However, the 29th Army had no problems at all.

The 29th Army itself had a lot of Mosin-Nagant rifles. They were a perfect match for the Big Plate Chicken.

'So many...'

'How many?'

'There are 150.'

'Where did you get them? Who imported them?'

'I don't know.'

No one could answer.

Everyone was still in a state of amazement and joy.

Many people had seen this strange-looking machine gun before. It had been around for a long time.

However, the appearance of more than a hundred machine guns at once was still very surprising. Based on the calculation that a company is equipped with nine machine guns, they could equip more than a dozen companies.

More than a dozen infantry companies!

From any perspective, this was a huge windfall.

While they were happy, they were also a little disappointed.

They still hadn't found the DShK heavy machine gun! 12.7 mm bullets were the king!

'Baka...'

A Japanese soldier suddenly yelled.

It turned out that the rag in his mouth had not been stuffed in properly and had been quietly pushed out by this guy.

The others immediately held him down and prepared to stuff the rag in again.

Zhang Yong waved his hand. Indicating that there was no need.

The Japanese spy wants to bite his tongue and kill himself? That's perfect. He killed himself. So as not to waste a bullet.

Oh, that trident is good. Bleeding directly. Guaranteed to be unable to live. It's convenient and saves trouble.

'Baka...'

The Japanese spy continued to curse.

Zhang Yong took out the trident. He waved it in front of the Japanese spy.

The Japanese spy immediately shut up.

His face began to turn dark. He obviously realised that this thing was no ordinary item.

Zhang Yong took a 12.7 mm bullet.

'Do you recognise it?'

'No.'

'Are you sure?'

'No...'

The sound stopped abruptly.

But Zhang Yong finished him off with one stroke. He used the trident.

This thing may not be good for fighting. But it's excellent for killing.

Since you don't know, you'll die!

Bring the second one.

'Do you know it?'

'Yes...'

'Good!'

Zhang Yong stuck the trident into the ground.

He who knows when to submit is the hero. There are also cowards among the Japanese spies.

'Do you know what this is?'

'Anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.'

'Good. Where are the anti-aircraft machine guns?'

'I've seen them. There are a lot of them. But they're not here.'

'Where did it go?'

'It went in the direction of the right Anmen.'

'Are you sure?'

'I'm sure.'

'Good!'

Zhang Yong waved his hand. Tell someone to let him go.

Since he confessed, he should get the hell out of here. I, Zhang Yong, keep my word.

Everyone else was also very happy.

The information provided by this Japanese spy confirmed that the DShK machine gun existed.

At the time, the common saying was to refer to this large-calibre machine gun as an anti-aircraft machine gun. This was because its main use was to shoot down aircraft.

'Near You'anmen...'

Zhang Yong turned his head and looked at Zhao Guanglin.

Zhao Guanglin shook his head.

He had no idea where Master You had property near You'anmen.

In fact, the area near You'anmen was quite a desolate area. There were no decent buildings. In ancient times, this was where refugees were received.

Was Master You hiding weapons and ammunition here? Or was he just passing through?

In any case, we need to go and have a look.

What if we find something?

Just as they were about to set off, they heard the sound of galloping horses.

'Da da da...'

'Da da da...'

Zhang Yong looked back. To his surprise, it was Pang Yu who had arrived.

Oh, Zhao Guanglin had called earlier. This guy is so late. Is he embarrassed?

His father is the commander of the 51st Division, and yet the Japanese spy has escaped...

Pang Yu came up to Zhang Yong.

There was no doubt about it: sworn brothers, but strangers.

Silence.

'Big brother, Commander Li wants you to go back immediately.'

'Me?'

'Yes. It's urgent.'

'Okay!'

Zhang Yong didn't expect it to be Li Boqi who wanted him back.

It seemed that something really important had happened over there. Otherwise, Li Boqi wouldn't be in such a hurry. Pang Yu had even come on horseback.

Anyway, how come Pang Yu can ride a horse?

Oh, they're from the Northwest Army, and most of them can ride a horse.

How can he claim to be from the Northwest Army if he can't even ride a horse? The cavalry of the Northwest Army was very large.

'Wait!'

Pang Yu suddenly pulled Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong stopped.

His expression was calm.

Pang Yu looked around and lowered his voice, 'No one has defected. Kawashima Yoshiko and Matsui Yoshio were let go.'

'What?' Zhang Yong frowned.

'You did something wrong. You shouldn't have sent the Japanese to the 51st Division.'

'Why?'

'Those are two hot potatoes. In the future, you can only handle them in secret. You can't hand them over to the military.'

'Understood.'

Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.

He said that's why things were so strange. How could the spies escape immediately after being sent?

How could that be a coincidence?

"So...'

'It was all arranged from above.'

'Understood!'

Zhang Yong nodded.

He felt that there was a lot going on here!

He had finally caught a Japanese spy, only to have him released.

It was announced that the deputy chief of staff had defected.

That deputy chief of staff...

He went to the Japanese side to become an undercover agent?

Goodness, that's some strategy!

Sigh...

No one has a simple mind.

He now had something very important to do. This side of things was too complicated, so he would not be involved.

He is just a small rookie. The high-level politics has nothing to do with him. He doesn't want to get involved. He is not qualified to get involved. He is not capable of getting involved.

'Goodbye.'

'Goodbye.'

Leave. Leave quickly.

Come back to find Li Boqi. Found that he has already packed his bags.

Everyone else has already packed. Ready to go at any time.

'Team leader...'

'The director has already arrived in Tianjin. We are ordered to go back immediately.'

'Yes.'

'It's urgent. We can't delay.'

'What? Something happened?'

'I'm not sure. But I and you are both required to return immediately. Everyone else is also withdrawing.'

'Then...'

'Obey the order. Withdraw all troops!'

'Yes!'

Zhang Yong hastily replied, standing to attention.

He thought to himself, This time it's a case of a good start but a poor finish, but it's not my fault!

I didn't want to give up halfway. It was the order of the commander.

It's a pity, I still haven't found the anti-aircraft machine gun...

Judging from Li Boqi's stern expression, I can tell that things are not going well in Tianjin. When we get back, the Director may lose his temper.

What should I do?

Of course, I'll obediently take the blame.

I don't think I'll be in danger of death. If I am, then it's a disaster.

Pack up quickly.

Jin Xiu Zhu has already packed up his things.

This woman is actually very obedient. Maybe it's because she's from Goryeo?

Chen Gongpeng is also being taken back.

Everyone is being withdrawn. Not a single person is left behind.

Including the captured Japanese spies.

Get on the train.

They took two train cars.

There were a few red dots in the other cars. They were definitely Japanese spies. But Zhang Yong pretended not to see them.

It was urgent. There was no time for complications.

They returned to Tianjin safely.

The first person they saw was Dai Yice. He had led the team that had followed the Director.

It seemed that the Director had suffered some injustice in Quancheng. No one knew what had happened. No one had said anything along the way.

'Team Leader Dai...'

'The Director has been shot. He is currently in critical condition.'

'What? The Director is injured?'

Zhang Yong was shocked.

Li Boqi was also a little surprised.

Obviously, none of them had been prepared for this.

'How could this happen...'

'We encountered a master in Quancheng. He was wearing a spider mask...'

'Black Spider? Black mask?'

'Yes. Shao Long, have you encountered this person before?'

'Yes!'

Zhang Yong answered affirmatively.

So it was that guy. He really is quite something.

Last time, Zhang Yong was almost ambushed by him. Fortunately, the map alerted him. He tried to kill him back, but unfortunately failed.

'Do you have any information on him?'

'No,'

Zhang Yong shook his head.

He had had no contact with the other party at all.

The other party realised that something was wrong and immediately retreated. They were very agile.

We can be sure that this guy is no ordinary Japanese spy. Among all the Japanese spy killers, he should be quite powerful.

'It must be the Nan Agency,'

'Yes. After the incident, we used all our connections to gather some information. This Japanese spy killer is called Hideyo Yamazaki. He is one of the most powerful killers in the Nan Agency. He has the title of 'pervert'.'

'He...'

'Director Chu was shot from a long distance.'

'Ah...'

Zhang Yong frowned inwardly.

He really hated long-distance snipers. Because they are hard to defend against.

No matter how high-level the target is. No matter how noble your status is. Once you are shot from a long distance, you are in great danger.

An ordinary rifle bullet is still deadly after flying 1,000 metres. If it is within 500 metres, the chance of death is 100%. Even a burly man like a white Russian is just a matter of a bullet.

'So, shall we go see the Director now?'

'The Director is currently at the Elisabeth Hospital, recovering in secret, and is temporarily unable to see anyone. Even I need a doctor's approval to go in.'

'I see,'

Zhang Yong replied. It seems that the situation is quite serious.

It makes sense. He was shot at! He was only one step away from death. The consequences are unpredictable.

I'll take my leave.

Li Boqi asked, 'Did you see anything?'

'What?' Zhang Yong was puzzled.

See anything?

I didn't see anything!

The director was injured and cannot see anyone at the moment, so what can I see?

"Sigh...'

Li Boqi sighed slightly.

Bai has taught him nothing.

Catching spies is impressive. But in other areas, he really doesn't understand anything!

He shakes his head.

He doesn't bother teaching anymore. Just let things take their course.

Zhang Yong: ...

pauses, then stops speaking.

He doesn't understand why Li Boqi is sighing.

In his impression, Li Boqi never seems to sigh.

He just had a deadpan expression and never smiled. Or he would give you a sarcastic comment. But he would never sigh. What's wrong today? Is he worried that Chu Zu won't survive and the Fuxing Society will be in danger? There's no need to worry about that. The Fuxing Society still has a bright future ahead of it.

'Chu Zu will be fine,'

'How do you know?'

'Intuition,'

Zhang Yong replied.

The Director will definitely be fine! Unless history changes.

Otherwise, he still has at least ten years to live. The glory of his life has yet to begin! It won't take off until 1938.

'I don't believe in intuition.'

'Yes.'

'But you can.'

'Why?'

'Because you simply don't see beyond the surface.'

'Er...'

Zhang Yong was stumped.

Is this a direct blow to himself?

Should I...?

Well, I was hired by you after all. What good will it do you to undermine me? Really.

I can't help but argue back a little.

However, Li Boqi has already left.

Zhang Yong: ? ?

Confused.

You just walked away, so what am I supposed to do?

I hurried back from Beiping as fast as I could, but the boss wasn't even there.

Suddenly I'm left with nothing to do.

I've been dropped from all previous tasks, and no new ones have been assigned.

The boss is really something. His orders are so intimidating. I thought the sky was going to fall. I rushed back day and night, only to find out that I'm going to lose my job?

Oh, there was a train robbery...

Yes, a train robbery. It's so confusing. It's as if I could follow it up.

Hurry up and catch up, 'Team Leader...'

'Keep an eye on Elisabeth Hospital.' Li Boqi didn't even turn around, 'Don't worry about anything else.'

'Yes,' Zhang Yong hurriedly replied.

Such a simple task? It doesn't seem very challenging!

Why not, modify the task a little. Instead of watching over Elizabeth Hospital, how about eliminating any invading Japanese soldiers?

Good, that's it.

Set a trap at Elizabeth Hospital and wait for the Japanese soldiers to fall into it.

Just do it.

Act now.

Go find Yu Lexing and Yang Shanfang.

They were already waiting when they heard that Zhang Yong had returned.

After Li Boqi left, they immediately came to Zhang Yong. None of their faces looked very good. They looked haggard.

I guess it's because the Chief was injured.

And there's a reason the Chief was injured. He was shot at long range. This is more troublesome.

It's hard to defend against.

Passive defence is definitely not the way to go.

Only by actively attacking and eliminating the Japanese assassins can we eradicate the problem.

'Instructor Yu, focus on the Citic Zhongzheng.'

'Okay!'

Yu Lexing immediately took action. He gathered all the American-made M1903 rifles.

The name of this rifle is quite awkward and it sounds a bit like a Japanese gun. Many people don't like it. So they called it Huazi Zhongzheng.

Zhang Yong checked his personal space. Under the equipment item, he found two more scopes.

They were exactly the same as the ones that appeared before. They were all for the American-made Springfield M1903 rifle. So he took them out and installed them directly.

'Shaolong, did you get these scopes?' Yu Lexing was both surprised and delighted.

'Yes,' Zhang Yong replied, 'but there are only two. You take one. Choose the other. Let's find a way to ambush that Japanese killer.'

'Good!' Yu Lexing couldn't have asked for more.

Of course he knew about the sniper attack on the commander, and he knew that the killer was no ordinary person.

Even if he is an experienced action instructor, he is not very confident in dealing with such a killer. The odds of winning or losing are 50-50 against the Japanese invaders.

In fact, if a fight really breaks out, the odds may be only 30-70. Or even 20-80.

After all, the Japanese invaders are in the dark. They have the initiative in the fight. They are almost in the light. By the time they discover the Japanese invaders, it may already be too late.

Perhaps, the person has already been killed, and they have not even discovered where the Japanese invader is.

How clever is the commander? He is also unable to avoid being sniped. This shows how dangerous this Japanese spy is.

However, if there is a scope, Yu Le wakes up and feels that at least the outcome can be brought back to about 50%. At least he has the ability to fight.

As long as he can discover the opponent in advance, he can make the opponent die without a burial.

Suddenly...

his gaze falls on Zhang Yong.

What kind of scope is needed? Zhang Yong is the real scope!

As long as Zhang Yong spots the target...

Suddenly, he saw Zhang Yong's expression stiffen and he made a hand signal.

There are Japanese invaders nearby!
