Chapter 849 Sparrow

  Take off your hat.

  Due to itchy scalp.

  So scratching my head.

   It's normal to have an itchy scalp when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and because you have been wearing a welcome hat.

  The whole process is a relatively normal operation of ordinary people, which is reasonable and not suspicious.

  Cheng Qianfan thought about it for a while, and thought there was nothing wrong with it. He nodded, "Very well, just as Xiaomi said, take off your hat and scratch your head as a signal."

   As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Liu Yuchu again, "Zhixin, your spear skills are good, this time you will shoot Li Cuiqun, is there a problem?"

The letter of    is written by Liu Yuchu.

   "Report to the team leader, no problem." Liu Yuchu said firmly, "As long as Li Cuiqun appears, his subordinates will definitely kill him."

"Very good." Cheng Qianfan nodded gratifiedly, and he took out a hand-painted simple topographic map of the site from his briefcase, "This is the main entrance of the Licha Hotel, and this is the Broadway Building. Facing the main entrance, it can be called the best shooting point.”

  He pointed to the little Taoist priest, "Little Taoist priest, you should take the letter to the vicinity of the scene tomorrow in advance, find a way to enter the Broadway Building, survey the terrain in advance, and adapt accordingly."

   "Leader, it's not easy for people to sneak into Broadway, but you can try it. The most rare thing is that it's hard to bring a long gun in." The little Taoist thought for a while and said.

  Cheng Qianfan also frowned, he nodded, "Weapons are indeed a tricky thing."

  Shanghai has no shortage of weapons, but bringing rifles to Broadway buildings is no easy feat.

  Cheng Qianfan also couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, mainly because the assassination mission came too suddenly.

  He reported to Chongqing yesterday the news of Li Cuiqun’s invitation to meet, mainly for the purpose of reporting, and at the same time asked Dai Chunfeng’s views and requirements on the contact with Li Cuiqun.

  Unexpectedly, he received a secret telegram from Dai Chunfeng, asking the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team to wait for an opportunity to get rid of the traitor Li Cuiqun.

  Jiang Mule's special independent action team is still in Pudong, so Cheng Qianfan hastily summoned the little Taoist's action team to carry out this mission.

  The telegram was resolute and the incident happened suddenly, so the preparations for this assassination operation were quite hasty.

  The little Taoist just said that people can try to sneak in, but, thinking of the current situation of Broadway Building, Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought about it. He thought over and over again, and felt that the plan of using Broadway Building as a shooting point was too risky.

  In terms of terrain, the Broadway Building is indeed the first choice for the shooting point, but the current situation here is indeed very complicated.

  The vicinity of Broadway Road is one of the neighborhoods with the most concentration of bars on the beach. Foreign sailors were "homeless" after landing at the pier, and all kinds of bars came into being.

  In addition, Broadway Road is close to the Huangpu River. When Shanghai was opened as a port, there were many foreign business terminals. This is not only a terminal operation area, but also an ocean shipping center in Shanghai.

  Broadway Building is a figure-eight apartment. The outer wall of the ground floor is dark red high-grade granite, and the other floors are all covered with brown Taishan bricks. It can be called one of the most famous buildings in Shanghai.

  The most important thing is that the car can hover to the roof, and 100 cars can be parked on it, which is unique in Shanghai Beach.

   Because of this, the Broadway Building in Hongkou District was coveted by Japan early on.

  After the outbreak of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Broadway Building was occupied by the Japanese army.

  After the fall of Shanghai, this place became a stronghold of the Japanese army.

  A month ago, the owner of the building, Yeguang Real Estate Company, repeatedly asked the Japanese army for the building to no avail, and was forced to sell the building to Japanese Hengsan Co., Ltd.

  The building was originally a hotel and apartment for foreigners in China, and the main reception objects were the bosses and senior staff of British and American foreign firms.

  After the Japanese army withdrew and Hengsan Co., Ltd. took over, it is currently gradually opening up the premises. It is said that this place is built as a residence for Japanese military, political, and diplomatic personnel, as well as important traitors.

  …

   "Xiaomi, you are more familiar with the Broadway Building, tell me your opinion." Cheng Qianfan looked at Bai Xiaoxia.

   "Team leader, when the Japanese army occupied the Broadway Building, some buildings were damaged, and now the company has taken over, and they are renovating some of the buildings." Bai Xiaoxia thought for a while and said, "We may use this to sneak in."

   "Are there any Japanese soldiers stationed in the building?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

   "There are two Japanese soldiers guarding the door, but none inside." Bai Xiaoxia frowned and thought.

Cheng Qianfan’s expression was solemn. Although there were only two Japanese soldiers guarding the area, Hongkou District was a Japanese-occupied area. Even if Liu Yuchu was able to enter the Broadway Building with a gun, once the gun was fired, the nearby Japanese troops would quickly reinforce and gather around. Especially in the initial stage, these two Japanese guards will be the key to preventing Liu Yuchu from successfully evacuating.

   Not only that, Cheng Qianfan suddenly thought of something, now some traitors and Japanese military and political personnel have already moved in, and these people's retinues and guards will become the blocking force as soon as the gun is fired.

  Cheng Qianfan shook his head, this is a typical example of the top talking and the bottom worrying.

  Dai Chunfeng suddenly ordered to attack Li Cuiqun urgently. Cheng Qianfan didn't raise this matter too hastily, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to act.

  However, I don't know what Li Cuiqun did to stimulate Dai Chunfeng. Dai Chunfeng expressed his understanding of the difficulties of the frontline soldiers, but this is a military order and must be strictly followed.

   And the bureau thinks that there are good reasons for the sudden action:

  The so-called assassination, first of all, is by surprise. Of course, there is insufficient preparation for impromptu operations, but so is the enemy.

  In a word, Li is afraid of death and is extremely cunning. This is an excellent opportunity to assassinate Li Cuiqun, so don't miss it.

  …

   "Leader, as long as you can sneak into Broadway with a gun, your subordinates promise to kill Li Cuiqun." Liu Yuchu suddenly gritted his teeth and said with firm eyes, "The subordinates will report that they will never return."

   As he said this, the soldier who was born in the army showed a smile on his face, "Even if the subordinates are on the road, they can kill more Japanese and traitors, which should be enough."

   "Nonsense." Cheng Qianfan took a deep look at Liu Yuchu, and his face changed suddenly, "You want to die, do I agree?"

  He knew early on that his capable and accurate marksman had the will to die. Without him, Liu Yuchu was from Nanjing.

   "Yes!" Liu Yuchu was silent.

  Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, he took two puffs in a row, and asked Bai Xiaoxia, "Xiaomi, how is the situation at Licha Restaurant? What is the situation with the Japanese?"

Because the initial plan was to shoot and kill Li Cuiqun from a long distance when Li Cuiqun arrived at the Licha Hotel, he did not consider the situation of the Licha Hotel in depth. However, after careful consideration, Cheng Qianfan felt that it was not appropriate. .

  He has a very cautious character. He often formulates three plans of action. He is not indecisive, but on the basis of the original action plan.

  The fate of Broadway Building is similar. After the outbreak of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Hongkou District fell under the sphere of influence of Japan. This place is different from other areas in the British and American public concessions. This place is not listed as a wartime neutral zone.

  The western expatriates living in Hongkou quickly left and moved to the safer central and western areas of the Shanghai Public Concession and its cross-border road construction area, as well as the Shanghai French Concession.

  After the western expatriates evacuated from Hongkou, Licha Hotel could not continue to operate due to the loss of clients. So the British transferred the hotel to the Japanese for management.

  Therefore, at present, Licha Hotel is actually a Japanese-funded hotel.

  Perhaps it was for this reason that Li Cuiqun chose to meet him at the Licha Hotel with confidence.

   "The restaurant is not guarded by Japanese soldiers." Bai Xiaoxia said, "However, the restaurant organized a guard patrol."

  He thought for a while and continued, "Team leader, if Li Cuiqun was shot and killed from a long distance, the hotel guards would have little effect."

Cheng Qianfan dropped the soot on the table between his fingers, and he slowly shook his head, because he planned to kill Li Cuiqun from a long distance. On the surface, the guards of the Licha Hotel had little direct impact on this operation, but they did. have indirect effects.

  The most important of this indirect impact is:

   Safe evacuation of operational personnel!

  Whether Li Cuiqun can be successfully shot is only the first step.

  Safe evacuation, this is the second step.

  Perhaps when other commanders of the military command were considering a certain operation, it was more important to consider whether the assassination could be successful, and they didn't pay much attention to the safe evacuation, but Cheng Qianfan was not.

As a matter of fact, what he learned from the telegram exchanges with the Chongqing headquarters, and other means, such as some information obtained from the special high school, is that the Chongqing side, especially the will to fight against the Japanese spy front As far as the resolute military command is concerned, military command organizations have been cracked and captured in various places, many of which are not caused by failures in the operational phase of a certain operation.

On the contrary, the success rate of the military command to eradicate the traitors is not low, and most of them can successfully kill the target. However, in the evacuation stage after completing the assassination of the target, they are often extremely ignored, resulting in frequent arrests, and then those who are arrested may not pass. In this way, the Japanese follow the vines and can often destroy most of the military organizations in a certain place.

  Because of his own cautious character, and in view of this, Cheng Qianfan attaches great importance to whether the operations of his troops can achieve their goals, and at the same time pays more attention to the safe evacuation of his subordinates.

  This is also the most fundamental reason why the Shanghai Military Command’s Shanghai station has frequent accidents, but the important members of his Shanghai special intelligence team have never been detected by the enemy:

  Yang Changnian was the only one captured by the Japanese. This incident was also an accident, and Yang Changnian himself pretended to be an agent of the Zhongtong, and did not reveal his identity as the Shanghai Special Intelligence Unit.

  …

   Evacuate safely!

  Cheng Qianfan concentrated on thinking.

  Put the cigarette **** in the ashtray.

  He looked at the three of them, "Little Taoist priest, you go to the old place tomorrow morning to meet 'Sparrow', and he will provide you with a car."

  'Sparrow' is Li Hao's code name within the special case team.

Cheng Qianfan said while thinking, a new, safer and more feasible action plan formed in his mind, "There are many Japanese checkpoints in Hongkou District, and you don't need to carry your own weapons, they will be ready in the car. "

  He picked up a pencil to write and draw on the sketch, "Park the vehicle nearby, or drive the car around, you play by ear."

   "In order to avoid interrogation by the Japanese military and police, unless there is a situation that endangers your own safety, don't get out of the car easily. This operation will be completed in the car."

"Once Li Cuiqun appears and receives the signal from Xiaomi, he will shoot and kill immediately." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Even if you miss the first shot, you must never fire a second shot. You should evacuate immediately and evacuate safely. For the first priority."

   Liu Yuchu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

   "This is a military order. Anyone who violates it will be subject to military law and family law!" Cheng Qianfan said sharply, "Did you hear that?"

"yes!"

"clear!"

   "Subordinates obey!"

  The three quickly stood at attention and saluted.

  The team leader 'Xiao Mian' looked over the three of them with serious eyes and nodded.

  Afterwards, he took out a photo, "This is the target of this operation, Li Cuiqun, I remember it all."

  The three passed photos one by one to watch, secretly keeping Li Cuiqun's appearance in their hearts, and the last photo was saved by Zhuo Yun, the leader of the action team.

   "Destroy the photos in time, and they must not be kept." Cheng Qianfan solemnly entrusted the little Taoist priest, "You can't leave the photos at the scene."

   "The subordinate understands." The little Taoist naturally understood the importance of the relationship, and quickly expressed his opinion.

   "What should I do if the evacuation by car is blocked?" Cheng Qianfan asked suddenly.

  He first looked at Liu Yuchu, the deputy leader of the action team.

   "If things are not negligent, the subordinates will never let themselves fall into the hands of the wo slaves, let alone shame the ancestors by stealing an existence." Liu Yuchu said with emotion, "The subordinates should kill themselves to be benevolent, and live up to the soul of China in this life!"

  Cheng Qianfan felt admiration in his heart, didn't say anything, just patted Liu Yuchu's shoulder.

   Unless he is cold-blooded, if he really reaches that point, for Liu Yuchu, killing himself and becoming a benevolent would be the best result.

  He looked at Zhuo Yun, the leader of the action team.

"It's not far from the pier. You can try to break out towards the pier, or try to cross the border and enter the British-American control area." The little Taoist thought for a while and said, with a look of indifference and determination in his eyes, "If it doesn't work, don't hesitate body, how can I live alone!"

   "Ala, too." Bai Xiaoxia also had a serious expression, and said quickly, as if he was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, the two elder brothers would have traveled far and could not go on the road together.

   "Fart." Cheng Qianfan immediately scolded, "You didn't expose it immediately, how could you sacrifice yourself lightly!"

  He looked around at the crowd, "At this time of national crisis, we are looking forward to China's survival. If our party and country soldiers can survive, we should keep us useful. If we are about to die, we can go to die."

  The leader of the group 'Xiao Mian' has a solemn expression with a hint of heaviness, and even a bit of agitation, "We are soldiers, loyal to the leader, loyal to the party and the country, and died for the country. It is the so-called horse leather shroud, and the ears are solid!"

   "Wrapping the corpse in horse leather, I wish you well!" The three shouted in a low voice.

Cheng Qianfan analyzed and discussed the details of the action plan with three capable men, and confirmed that there were no more dangerous omissions. He told his men to clean up the scene, especially soot, cigarette butts, paper, etc. Omissions.

  Then 'Group Leader Xiao' left first.
