Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

It was already late at night when Zeng Qiang arrived at Chen Gongshu's residence. He knew that the stationmaster must have called him so late for something important.

As soon as they met, Chen Gongshu asked:

"Stationmaster, is there something urgent going on?"

Chen Gongshu nodded and said:

"You must kill the traitor Wang Yitang tomorrow. I called you here to discuss this matter."

Then he told Zeng Qiang the chief's telegram and the whole story.

Zeng Qiang took a deep breath after hearing this and said:

"We must kill Wang Yitang tomorrow. Time is really tight and it will be difficult."

"It is indeed very difficult, but we have to find a way to complete it. I am very familiar with the terrain of the Shikoku Hotel. It is a four-story building with a large conference hall and a banquet hall on the first floor. I guess the meeting will be held here."

Chen Gongshu remembered that he had led people to assassinate the warlord Zhang Jingxiao here a few years ago, and he had surveyed the Four Nations Hotel many times, so he was very familiar with the structure there.

“But the details of the meeting were unclear, and getting into the meeting hall was difficult. The enemy’s security must be very strict, and it was even more difficult to bring a pistol into the meeting hall.

Even if someone entered the conference room, how could they kill Wang Yitang without a gun?

Chief Zeng, you have a wide network of contacts. You have previously organized the Pingjin Anti-Japanese Traitor-Extermination Group, and many of the members were born in official families. Maybe someone knows about the meeting. Think carefully about whether there is such a person. "

Chen Gongshu had only been in office for a short time, and had not known Zeng Qiang for long either. Although he had some understanding of Zeng Qiang, it was not much.

Zeng Qiang is now the head of the operations department. He holds the military rank of lieutenant colonel, but he is actually quite young, only in his twenties. He also comes from a family of officials. When he was in college, he spontaneously carried out anti-Japanese and anti-traitor activities with a group of like-minded students from his own school and other universities.

In this war-torn era, students who were able to study safely in universities and middle schools in the Pingjin Concession without being affected must have come from wealthy or noble families.

These "second-generation rich" and "second-generation official" students had no worries about food and clothing, and led a life parallel to the war. They seemed to have nothing to do with the passionate anti-Japanese movement behind enemy lines.

However, the children of officials and wealthy businessmen like Zeng Qiang entered new-style middle schools and universities, received enlightenment and influence of modern civilization and various ideologies, and had relatively free thoughts and independent personalities, which was far from being comparable to the so-called second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people in later generations.

When the full-scale war between China and Japan broke out, Beijing and Tianjin were located at the center of the Sino-Japanese conflict. These students were influenced by the December 9th Movement and had been brewing anti-Japanese sentiment for a long time. When they suddenly encountered the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and saw Beijing and Tianjin fall, they were inspired by national justice and spontaneously participated in anti-Japanese activities.

The students either stayed in schools in Pingjin to engage in intelligence and propaganda work, or secretly made bombs to assassinate Japanese devils and traitors, or sneaked into the mountainous areas near Pingjin and directly participated in the armed operations of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.

Their anti-Japanese activities were all spontaneous, so there were many of them and they acted on their own without forming an organization.

The Military Intelligence Bureau soon noticed this and contacted Zeng Qiang at the beginning of last year. Zeng Qiang was also moved by this and immediately joined the Military Intelligence Bureau.

He invited more than a dozen young students like him to a contact point of the Military Control Commission and formally swore to form an anti-Japanese and anti-traitor group.

Zeng Qiang also wrote the oath:

"I swear to join the Anti-Japanese Traitor Killing Group with all my heart. I am willing to work actively under the leadership of the organization, obey its command and keep it strictly confidential. If I violate it, I am willing to accept the most severe punishment."

After the oath, everyone signed their names on the oath with blood. Then Zeng Qiang gave a brief speech to encourage everyone, and then burned the signed oath in front of everyone.

From then on, the anti-Japanese and anti-traitor group spontaneously formed by the students moved to the North China District of the Military Control Commission, led by Zeng Qiang.

After Chen Gongshu asked the question, Zeng Qiang thought for a moment and said:

"There is a man who should be able to understand the situation of the meeting. Maybe he has a way to bring people and guns into the meeting room."

Chen Gongshu immediately showed joy on his face and asked impatiently:

"Who is this guy?"

"His name is Feng Yuanxiu, and his uncle is Qi Zhiyuan, a member of the Puppet North China Political Affairs Committee and Director of the General Security Bureau, and Commander-in-Chief of the Puppet North China Pacification Army.

Qi Zhiyuan must have attended this meeting, Feng Yuanxiu should know about it."

Chen Gongshu asked with great interest:

"What do you think of Feng Yuanxiu?"

Zeng Qiang smiled and said:

"I have known him for a long time and I am familiar with his experience. After I finish, you will know who he is."

Zeng Qiang began to introduce Feng Yuanxiu's situation.

Feng Yuanxiu also came from a family of officials. His grandfather was the governor of Shandong in the late Qing Dynasty, and his father was the deputy director of general affairs of the Bac Ninh Railway.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his father took up a fake post on the Beining Railway. Feng Yuanzheng was studying at university. When he heard about it, he rushed back home and cried to dissuade his father, saying:

"The resistance against the enemy and the killing of the enemy will be remembered for eternity. Now surrendering and humiliating ourselves, is this what my father and I would do?"

However, Feng Yuanxiu's attempt to persuade his father failed, so he began to actively contact his classmates to carry out anti-Japanese activities.

Because of his relationship with the big traitor Qi Zhiyuan, his residence in Yubi Hutong, Beijing, became an important contact point for the Anti-Japanese Anti-Traitor Group and a storage place for guns, ammunition and important documents.

As Qi Zhiyuan's nephew, Feng Yuanxiu had the convenience of entering and leaving the military camp. He used the excuse of learning shooting and hunting to start practicing his shooting skills and courage.

It didn't take long for Feng Yuanxiu, after practicing shooting and building up his courage in the army, to transform from a weak scholar into a real gunman among the members of the Anti-Traitor Corps who dared to draw his gun and shoot, and kill any traitor he saw, compared to his other classmates who were enthusiastic about resisting the Japanese and talking big.

At the end of last year, the Anti-Japanese Traitor-Extermination Corps formulated a plan to assassinate important targets of the Japanese and puppet regimes.

Upon hearing the news, Feng Yuanxiu, who was on duty in Tianjin and had become a core member of the Anti-Japanese Traitor-Extermination Corps, rushed to Peiping alone and volunteered to assassinate Leng Jiaqi, the president of the Peiping Pseudo Chamber of Commerce.

This was an assassination designed and carried out independently by Feng Yuanxiu.

Relying on his family connections, he quickly found out Leng Jiaqi's living and travel situations, and then forged documents and knocked on Leng Jiaqi's door under the pretext of official business.

Leng Jiaqi was lucky that when his wife opened the door for him, Feng Yuanxiu raised his hand and shot him, killing him instantly.

Although Leng Jiaqi was not killed in this assassination attempt, Feng Yuanxiu shot Leng Jiaqi's wife and left a warning notice for the Anti-Traitor Group before the Japanese and puppet guards could react. This greatly deterred the puppet officials in Peiping who had surrendered to the enemy.

In this assassination, Feng Yunxiu also left a deep impression on Zeng Qiang with his neat and efficient actions.

After that, Feng Yunxiu used the pseudonym "Shi Shanfeng" and not only carried out assassination missions, but was also responsible for the organizational documents and arms storage of the Anti-Traitor Group, becoming one of the most active backbones of the Anti-Japanese Anti-Traitor Group.

At the beginning of this year, the Military Control Commission's Beiping Station deployed an anti-Japanese traitor-killing group to assassinate the influential traitors in Pingjin as a punishment. At that time, Chen Gongshu had not yet taken office.

Because most of the members of the Anti-Japanese Traitor-Extermination Corps were originally children of officials and wealthy businessmen in Tianjin and Beijing, and had extremely wide and deep personal connections, they soon learned that the Japanese puppet organizations in Peiping would hold a so-called "Imperial Army Holy War Victory" celebration in Zhongshan Park on January 15. At that time, all the traitors in Peiping would naturally appear on the scene.

Based on this situation, Feng Yunxiu and others decided to rush to the celebration venue and snipe the Japanese and puppet traitors who were hosting the event on the spot as a punishment.

The first target of the assassination was Wu Juzhi, the president and editor-in-chief of the pseudo "Xinmin Daily", who was known as the "first pen" in the Peking newspaper industry.

Wu Juzhi was a cheerleader for the Japanese invasion of China and could be considered a die-hard cultural traitor in North China.

In preparation for the assassination, Feng Yunxiu specially asked someone to get him a Derringer pistol. This pistol was known as the palm thunder because it was easy to hide and had a low sound. American President Lincoln was assassinated by this pistol.

On January 15, the Japanese puppet regime held a celebration meeting on time at the Shejitan venue in Zhongshan Park. Wu Juzhi arrived as scheduled, presided over the meeting, and delivered a speech, and was very active.

Feng Yunxiu and others used their social connections to enter the venue, but found that the Japanese and puppet military and police were on tight guard inside and outside the venue, making it extremely difficult to take action, or there would be no chance to withdraw if they tried to take action by force.

So Feng Yunxiu discussed on the spot and decided to look for an opportunity to take action after the meeting.

Near noon, the celebration ended and the Japanese and puppet dignitaries dispersed. Wu Juzhi got on the rickshaw he had hired and left, while Feng Yunxiu and others followed him leisurely on bicycles.

Wu Juzhi arrived at Tonghexuan Restaurant outside Heping Gate to attend a dinner hosted by the famous Pingju opera actor Bai Yushuang for the press. Feng Yunxiu and others waited at the door of the hotel, waiting for an opportunity to take action.

About an hour later, Wu Juzhi and Bai Jieru, a female reporter from the pseudo "Xin Min Bao", finished their dinner and took two rickshaws to the pseudo "Xin Min Bao" newspaper office on Shifuma Street.

Feng Yunxiu and others immediately followed on bicycles, while Wu Juzhi and others' rickshaws arrived at the gate of the Land God Temple on Nanxinhua Street. It happened that there was a funeral procession in the area, with loud cries, firecrackers and suona sounds.

The rickshaw driven by Wu Juzhi and others had to stop and give way.

At this moment, Feng Yunxiu took out his pistol, controlled the rickshaw with one hand, pedaled a few steps to catch up with Wu Juzhi's rickshaw, aimed at Wu Juzhi's head, and fired two shots.

The sound of Deringer's pistol was very small and was covered by the noisy crying, firecrackers, and suona sounds, so the people around and Wu Juzhi's driver did not notice anything unusual.

Seeing that the assassination was successful, Feng Yunxiu immediately left the scene without making a sound.

At that time, Wu Juzhi's driver pulled the rickshaw for a distance. Bai Jieru, a female reporter who was driving in the rickshaw in front, occasionally looked back and realized that the situation was not good. She quickly reported it to the Second Branch of the Japanese Puppet Police Bureau.

The police arrived at the scene and immediately drove Wu Juzhi to the hospital. When the Japanese doctor examined his injuries, Wu Juzhi was already dead. He was shot once in the left ear and once in the left ear. Both bullets entered his brain, which were fatal.

Based on the Japanese doctor's injury report and investigation, the Japanese military police believed that the assassin who killed Wu Juzhi might be a Kuomintang secret agent or a member of the Anti-Japanese Traitor Extermination Corps.

The assassination of Wu Juzhi immediately caused a sensation in Peiping. The puppet officials who surrendered to the Japanese and a number of cultural traitors in Peiping were frightened and for a while, they all closed their doors and windows in order to protect themselves.

After this action, Zeng Qiang was deeply impressed by Feng Yuanxiu. Feng Yuanxiu continued to study at Fu Jen Catholic University as if nothing had happened.

After Zeng Qiang finished his introduction, Chen Gongshu couldn't help but sigh:

“I didn’t expect that Feng Yuanxiu really has the qualities of a killer. He is even stronger than I was when I was young. He is indeed a rare talent.

Chief Zeng, there is no time to lose. Go find him right away and find out the situation to see if he can help us."

Zeng Qiang also knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately went to the Feng family compound in Yubi Hutong and found Feng Yuanxiu.

When Feng Yuanxiu saw Zeng Qiang visiting late at night, he knew it must be something urgent, so he took Zeng Qiang to his room.

Zeng Qiang told him that the Military Control Commission was planning to assassinate Wang Yitang, and that their request was urgent, requiring Wang Yitang to be killed tomorrow.

When Feng Yuanxiu heard this, he immediately said:

"Let me join in, too."

Zeng Qiang knew that Feng Yuanxiu would definitely have this reaction, so he shook his head and said:

"You just need to tell me the situation at the venue and find a way to get my men and guns into the venue. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Zeng Qiang certainly wanted him to participate, but he knew that the assassination was very dangerous and it was basically impossible to survive. Feng Yuanxiu was still young, talented, and had a strong background, so he could play a greater role in the future.

Seeing that Zeng Qiang disagreed, Feng Yuanxiu no longer insisted. He already had another plan in mind. It was not easy to bring the Military Control Commission's people and guns into the venue. The security level of this meeting was very high. However, he could enter the venue with the help of his uncle's relationship. In the end, the Military Control Commission could only rely on him to kill Wang Yitang.

He smiled and said:

“My uncle will also attend tomorrow’s meeting, which lasted all day yesterday, mainly to discuss strengthening public security.

It will only be open for half a day tomorrow morning, mainly to celebrate the first anniversary of the establishment of the pseudo-North China Political Affairs Committee. There will be a celebratory banquet at noon in the banquet hall on the first floor. "

Zeng Qiang was a little surprised when he heard this. That meant they only had half a day to assassinate Wang Yitang, which made the time even more urgent.

However, Feng Yuanxiu's words also brought good news, that is, the celebratory banquet at noon was a good opportunity to assassinate Wang Yitang, because the scene might be more chaotic at that time, and not as orderly as during the meeting, making it difficult to find an opportunity to approach Wang Yitang.

So he said:

"I originally planned to assassinate Wang Yitang at the venue, but now that I've heard what you said, I need to change the plan. It might be easier to assassinate him in the banquet hall.

Do you have any way of getting my men and my weapons into the banquet hall?"

Feng Yuanxiu shook his head and said:

"It might be difficult, mainly because time is too tight, and the security level of this conference is very high. How could a stranger get in, let alone bring a gun in?"

Zeng Qiang became anxious when he heard this. Since neither people nor guns could get in, how could he complete the mission?

Time is so tight and there is no time to think of a solution. What should I do?

Feng Yuanxiu saw his embarrassment and smiled:

"Isn't there still me?"
