Two heavily armed security guards hurried over and stood at attention. One of them shouted loudly: "Report that a group of Japanese spies have been trapped in a compound on Ximenli Fourth Street."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongliang immediately asked: "How many people are there on the other side?"

The soldier said: "Including those killed and arrested, there are a total of thirteen to fifteen people. There are still about eight people trapped in the building."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongliang waved his hand and said, "Take us there!"

After that, under the leadership of the two soldiers, Zhao Hongliang, Wang Jia, and the supporting soldiers behind them rushed to the scene of the incident.

When they arrived, a group of agents, two mobile teams, and Hua Zhang's people had surrounded a courtyard. The reason why only two mobile teams were dispatched was because the situation was unknown. Who knew if there were still others in the city?

There is a team of remaining Japanese spies who can provide support at any time.

Zhao Hongliang observed the yard, then turned around and said: "Commander Wang, bring up the machine guns and mortars, fire a few rounds first to give the other party a warning, and then use the opportunity to blow out a few big holes in the houses inside. Collect them on the spot.

Use firewood, rags and other burning objects, and let the stronger brothers throw all the burning objects into the big hole created by the explosion to force the opponent out."

After hearing this, Wang Jia smiled and said: "What a good idea!" He turned around and ordered two squads of soldiers to go and do it immediately. Although Wang Yang's team car could not be driven, the equipment was not damaged, so

The mortars were soon in position.

Zhao Hongliang squatted next to the mortar, pointed at the building in front, and said: "The architectural model of the Sanheyuan, shoot them two rounds on the wall or window of each house first!"

The two soldiers in charge of operating the mortar nodded, took a careful aim, and after adjusting, reached out and placed a shell on top of the barrel, then released their hands. There was a "dong" sound, and it was fired directly.

.

Not long after, there was another loud bang, and the roof of the house in the triple courtyard exploded directly at the junction with the wall in front. But after all, the mortar was not that powerful, so it only destroyed the tiles.

The film exploded into a large piece.

Zhao Hongliang was not in a hurry anyway. If one shot failed, he would fire two. Anyway, he brought a lot of artillery shells, enough to blow up the building.

He was so happy that he was bombing, and he fired four or five shots in a row. During the interval of the shells, he suddenly heard someone in the building suddenly shouting: "Don't fire yet! How about we talk?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hongliang also shouted: "Hand over your weapons and surrender within one minute! Start the timer now!"

Several figures flashed vaguely through the window in the opposite house, probably observing the situation outside. The voice from before shouted: "You'd better listen to us, we have hostages in our hands! You know, we came in

At that time, a couple and their parents were "

Just when he said that he had hostages in his hands, Zhao Hongliang turned around and said: "Keep firing, don't let him finish his sentence!"

The soldier controlling the mortar let go after hearing this, and fired again with a bang, directly interrupting the other party's speech. Just like that, three more shells were fired in succession, and the roof of the house in the middle was connected to a wall.

, it was directly bombed and a big gap collapsed.

Zhao Hongliang pressed his hand down, and the soldier immediately stopped. Then he shouted: "Hand over your weapons and surrender! If you don't answer within ten seconds, we will continue to fire!"

About seven or eight seconds later, the previous voice said: "Do you really not care about the lives of your fathers and fellow villagers? To show sincerity, I can let the two old people go first!"

Zhao Hongliang shouted: "I said! Hand over your weapons and surrender! Otherwise we will continue to fire! Give you a minute to think about it!"

The voice shouted again: "They have come out, don't fire!" After saying this, the wooden door opened and an old couple was pushed out! Then the door was closed again.

The old lady turned around and knocked on the door, crying and screaming, and cried: "My son, please let my son go." The old man next to her was calmer than her. Although his face was sad and angry, he stretched out his hand to hold the old lady.

Walking out, he shouted: "Let's go out first and then talk. Get up! Get up quickly!"

After all, it was a man, who was much stronger than the woman. He grabbed the other person's arm and walked hard out of the yard. But after seven or eight steps, the woman in her fifties might really be emotionally unbearable.

Squatting down hard, she broke free from her husband's hand, rolled and crawled towards the previous door again.

Zhao Hongliang shouted: "One minute is up! Tell us the answer within ten seconds! Otherwise, we will blow you up!"

The voice from before replied: "We have shown our sincerity, let us leave! Moreover, you have arrested many of us, and you can fully explain it to your superiors."

Zhao Hongliang did not wait for him to finish speaking, turned around and said: "Hit the roof! Fire!" He pointed to the house on the right side of the Sanheyuan.

The cannon manipulator also understood what he meant. When the cannonball exploded, it flew upward at an oblique angle, so when the cannonball landed on the roof, it could not hit the two old couples at all.

Then why don't we wait until the old man and the old lady come out? There's nothing to lose anyway? That's because of Fan Keqin.

During class, Fan Keqin repeatedly told them that there should be absolutely no negotiation with Japanese spies. The only option is to ask the other party to surrender. Don’t worry about anything else! Even if the other party has Chinese hostages in their hands, don’t worry about it! Because you compromise once,

The Japanese spies may do this again in the future! But if you ignore it completely, the Japanese spies are not fools next time or a few times. They will naturally know that catching hostages will not help them at all.

It will also become a drag. In this way, more people will be saved.

As for the casualties at that time, there really was nothing we could do. Do you want to say that Fan Keqin was cruel? That’s right! He was indeed cruel, but this cruelty was established later, so that Japanese spies did not dare to use Chinese people again.

On the basis of being a hostage and saving more people.

As soon as the cannon fired, the old woman seemed to have come to her senses, knowing that if she continued like this, she would only lose her own life, and it would be impossible to save her son and daughter-in-law's family. Her husband also mustered up the energy.

With all his strength, he pulled and pulled her out.

Wang Jia looked at the side and pointed with his hand, and said: "Ask that man what's going on in the room? How many people are there!" His battalion deputy rushed up with people, pulled the two people aside, and started

cross-examination.

After the woman saw the Chinese soldier, she kept crying and begging. She was still her husband, and she kept a certain calmness. She explained the situation again.

After a while, the battalion deputy came back and reported: "Their original words were that there were eight bandits in the house, all holding pistols. In addition, we hope we can save his son's family. There is also a child inside, who is their grandson."

.”

Hua Zhang said from the side: "There are eight people, two Chinese civilians and one child. Team leader, I think your original plan is still feasible! They just want us to surrender, and we cannot go along with their wishes!"

Zhao Hongliang nodded and said: "That's right! We will never negotiate any conditions with the Japanese. This is something the section chief has repeatedly emphasized to us." After that, he ordered the two gunners again to continue bombing the two houses on the left and right. An explosion occurred in an instant.

The sound rang again.

After a while, the walls of the two houses on the left and right were also blown down. After a while, the two squads collected a lot of fire-starting objects and rushed back. And one soldier even came back specially.

At the camp outside, I received a tin kettle of gasoline.

Zhao Hongliang ordered people to set up a lot of torches, and also asked people to pour cotton wool, rags, rags and other toys on them, lightly pour gasoline on them, and put them in earthen jars. After they were ready, he came from the security guard

Ten strong soldiers were selected from the division and divided into two groups: five people threw torches and five people threw earthen jars.

After giving the order, the ten soldiers standing on the wall showed their heads one after another and threw the objects in their hands towards the targets that had been assigned long ago. This family seemed to be a big family, a three-sided courtyard. The yard was not small, but from the courtyard wall

It was less than twenty meters to the house inside, but everyone was still very accurate. After two consecutive rounds of throwing, the fires in the three rooms started burning at the same time.

Zhao Hongliang ordered his people to continue making clay pots, and then kept throwing them into them. This time, the fire became stronger and thick smoke gradually rose.

In fact, his purpose was not to burn the opponent to death, but to thicken the smoke. When they came this time, they did not bring gas bombs, which was a mistake. However, there are not many gas bombs in the National Government now. Shangfeng believes that instead of having time

Instead of making gas bombs, it would be better to make more artillery shells. Even among the arms shipped from the United States, gas bombs should be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, the inventory is very small, and there may only be a few hundred of them for the whole country.

However, the method Zhao Hongliang used now is also very effective. When the fire started, he directly ordered the two gunners to stop firing. He asked the ten soldiers to smash in the gun filled with cotton wool, rags, and gasoline.

Crock pot.

When the smoke came together, the effect was actually not much worse than that of gas bombs. Since there was no firing, a loud coughing sound came from inside after a while.

About five minutes later, Wang Jia lost his composure and said: "Brother Hong Liang, this group of spies is indeed an elite group. They were trapped inside by more than a hundred of us, roasted and smoked by fireworks, but they were still able to survive."

If you don’t surrender, I think it’s better to attack by force?”

Zhao Hongliang smiled and said: "Brothers, don't be anxious. They must have been trained in this area. Although they don't wear gas masks, they can just find a few towels, or tear up their clothes to make masks, and pour some water on them.
