Wei Guoqiang leaned behind the gate and looked out through the crack in the door. He saw a group of Nationalist troops armed with live ammunition walking in neat lines on the street outside the courtyard. They were so close together that Wei Guoqiang could even see the group clearly. The expressions on the faces of the national troops can even feel the murderous intent coming from them. Without warning, the national army second lieutenant walking next to the queue suddenly stopped. The next moment, the second lieutenant of the national army suddenly turned his head, and his sharp eyes fell directly on the door where Wei Guoqiang was hiding. Wei Guoqiang was shocked. He never expected that the second lieutenant of the national army had such intuition. He was so keen that he felt someone was watching him from the dark. Wei Guoqiang ducked behind the door, no longer daring to peep at the patrol on the street. The national army second lieutenant stared at the door where Wei Guoqiang was hiding for a few seconds, and finally turned around and walked away. It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that Wei Guoqiang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then felt a cold chill on his back. In just a few moments, his back was soaked with cold sweat. Back inside, Yan Sanquan and a dozen plainclothes members of the plainclothes team were cleaning their guns. Last night, after learning that Xu Jiujiu would go to Chitu Village this afternoon to meet with important figures from the Central Plains Bureau of the Communist Party of China, Yan Sanquan and Wei Guoqiang sneaked into Chitu Village overnight with more than a dozen plainclothes members of the plainclothes team. He lurked in a courtyard at the entrance of the village. After daybreak, troops from the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army arrived one after another and began to impose martial law on the village. Accompanied by the security chief, a team of officers and soldiers knocked on the door from door to door and conducted necessary searches. Yan Sanquan and Wei Guoqiang were kidnapped. They took the host's two young grandsons and hid in the cellar. For the sake of their own grandsons, the host's old couple did not dare to act rashly. "Captain Yan, isn't it too risky for us to target the village for the ambush?" Wei Guoqiang couldn't help complaining. He had almost been discovered by the patrol on the street just now. Looking back now, he still has lingering fears, not to mention the ambush. The choice is in the village. Even if you get it, how can you escape? "Risk?" Yan Sanquan said coldly, "Haven't you heard of the dark under the lamp?" "It's dark under the lamp?" Wei Guoqiang said, "Not necessarily, you don't even know that the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army attacked Chitu Village How strong are the security measures? There are six patrol teams patrolling the streets alone. This does not include the exposed posts and hidden sentries set up at the entrance, end and entrance of the village. It is not an exaggeration to say that needles cannot be inserted and water cannot be splashed. Yan Sanquan said: "Because the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has strong security measures against Chitu Village, Xu Shijiu never thought that we would choose to take action here. Only in this way, we have a greater chance of success, and only with the military commander." Those idiots would only think of ambushing Xu Jiujiu in the middle of the road. Just look at it. They were killed by Li Mu's 5th Battalion without even seeing Xu Jiujiu's face. " Wei Guoqiang said. "But it's too dangerous for us to hide here. We may be exposed at any time." After saying that, Wei Guoqiang looked at the wing next door. The owner's old couple, a widowed daughter-in-law and two young grandchildren. They were all locked inside. According to Wei Guoqiang's wish, the five members of the family should be killed, but Yan Sanquan refused. "Danger?" Yan Sanquan said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?" The reason why Yan Sanquan was willing to take risks and lurk in Chitu Village to assassinate Xu Shijiu was certainly not because he really wanted to be a little Japanese. A filial son and a virtuous grandson, but because he and Xu Jiujiu had a hatred for killing their father and destroying their family. Therefore, even without Haneda's order, he would never let Xu Jiujiu go as long as he had the chance. "Kekeke" As soon as he finished speaking, there was another crisp knock on the door. Wei Guoqiang's expression suddenly changed. A dozen plainclothes team members also raised their pistols and opened the nose of the machine. Only Yan Sanquan remained calm. He waved his hand to suppress the dozen plainclothes team members, and then left. He went into the east wing and slipped the old couple out. "Old man." Yan Sanquan pointed his gun at the young wife and two young boys in the house, and said with a ferocious face, "Go open the door and deal with the people who are coming. Also, I'm warning you. You, if you dare to have any evil thoughts, your wife and two grandchildren will die." The old couple looked at each other and walked out of the main room with a sad expression. Yan Sanquan was behind him again, and he said in a low voice: "Also, don't reveal any flaws." After saying that, Yan Sanquan and Wei Guoqiang hid in the east wing with more than a dozen plainclothes men, and then opened the door of the east wing. It was closed, and then they heard the sound of the courtyard door opening. Then a voice said: "Uncle, aunt, I'm really sorry to bother you again." "What do you want me to say, boss?" The old man who answered was the host, and said, "Why don't you bother me? If you need any help from us, Even so, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. ""It's actually nothing, I just want to borrow a table and a few stools," said the voice. "The tables and stools are all in the main room. You can move them yourself." The old man said nonchalantly. The hearts of Wei Guoqiang and a dozen plainclothes men were in their throats for a moment. Then, they heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming in. Through the broken window paper on the window, they could even see clearly. A vague figure passed by, and Wei Guoqiang even felt that his heartbeat was about to stop. At this time, there was a window covered with broken window paper between them and the officers and soldiers of the Wannan Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army who came to move tables and stools. The other party only had to break open the door of the east wing or break the paper on the window of the east wing. We can only sit back and wait for death. Fortunately, this did not happen. It wasn't until the chaotic footsteps faded away and the courtyard door was closed that Wei Guoqiang sat down on the bed as if exhausted. A dozen plainclothes team members also let out a sigh of relief. Only Yan Sanquan still acted as if nothing was wrong. I forgot to say a few words of courtesy to Wei Guoqiang: "The level of your military commander is not that good, isn't it?" "The military commander is not as bad as you think." Wei Guoqiang felt that his dignity had been insulted and couldn't help but retort , "Besides, I am no longer a member of the military commander." Yan Sanquan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you, the military commander, are not strong enough." (Dividing line) "The wind direction is southwest by south, the wind speed is four meters." The observer in front reported back. The lazy man who was also lying on his stomach slightly adjusted the medium-sized rifle in his hand, then moved his eyes away from the scope on the rifle and began to close his eyes to rest. Yan Sanquan chose to go deep into the tiger's den and take a risk, but the lazy man chose a safer way. Xu Jiujiu will go to Chitu today to meet with important figures from the Central Plains Bureau of the Communist Party of China. This is not a secret among the top leaders of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui. He can get information with three punches. As a special commissioner of the military reunification, Lazy Man will of course have channels. Got the news. At the beginning, the lazy man also doubted whether Xu Jiujiu deliberately spread the news in order to lure out all the assassins who tried to harm him and then kill them all. However, after careful analysis, the lazy man thought that Xu Jiujiu might There is a motive to seize the opportunity to assassinate, but the news that he will go to Chitu today to meet with important figures from the Central Plains Bureau of the Communist Party of China is true. After on-the-spot investigation and screening, the lazy man finally chose the ambush location at Houwan Tip, which is less than five miles away from Chitu Village. In fact, Houwan Tip is not a good choice no matter which direction you look at it. First of all, Houwan Tip is not a good choice. There is too little vegetation, which is not conducive to concealment. Furthermore, the tip of the back bay is not high enough and far away from the road. The field of vision is not very good, or even very bad. However, after careful consideration, the lazy man still chose the ambush point at the tip of Back Bay. Although an assassination can be regarded as an ambush, it is very different from an ambush in a general sense. In a general ambush battle, in addition to concealing the enemy, the most important thing is the selection of firepower points. If the firepower point is not selected well, the shooting range is not wide enough. It will be impossible to form crossfire. If crossfire is not formed, effective fire coverage cannot be implemented on the battlefield, which will cause big problems. But for assassination, there is no need to consider the choice of firepower point.
