Chapter 228 Sinners of the Empire

From the end of the Battle of Song and Shanghai to the successful capture of Jinling, the capital of the national capital, the Japanese army undoubtedly expanded a lot. After entering Shanghai, they always felt that no one dared to provoke, even the arrogant foreigners in the concession could not do it.

But no one expected that when they planned to stabilize the situation in Shanghai and establish their unique status in Shanghai, so many things happened one after another. First, the Qing Gang boss who was attracted was shot and killed, and then the agent station that was formed to form a recruitment was taken.

The most shocking thing was that the Marine Corps station, which had heavy troops, was raided by unknown armed forces. Before the reinforcements could react, fierce battles broke out on the Financial Street, forcing the Japanese army to divide their troops to rush to reinforcements.

Perhaps tonight was a sleepless night for many Japanese devils. Shortly after the battle on Financial Street ended, the concession, which also deployed heavy troops to guard, suddenly heard an explosion. The Fusang expatriates who were staying in the concession felt threatened instantly.

Countless calls for help were called to the Shanghai headquarters for support. In fact, it was just a patrol team that accidentally touched the thunder set up by Hu Biao earlier. However, the unknown expatriates mistakenly thought that someone attacked the concession where they lived.

For a time, the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai were working tirelessly and had to divide their troops to surround the Japanese concession again. Then, from the inside out, they carefully searched to confirm whether any suspects broke into the concession and created the so-called explosion.

When the Japanese army blocked the intersection in and out of the concession, Hu Biao and his party had already rushed out of the encirclement and came to a relatively desolate place on the other side of the Suzhou River. Then they took a roundabout way to avoid the Japanese army's blockade line and leave the city overnight to hide.

Hu Biao and the sniper team, who were responsible for restraining the Japanese's attention, saw that the Japanese were following, Hu Biao did not force it too much. On the contrary, some thunders were deployed and felt that Qin Tianyou and others should break through safely, so they ordered the stop of creating gunshots and explosions.

The result was obvious that without gunfire and explosion guidance, the Japanese wanted to lock in the location of Hu Biao and his party, so it was naturally unlikely that they would do it. When the Japanese reacted, Hu Biao had successfully arrived outside the city and detoured back to the concession controlled by foreigners.

When returning to the US Concession, seeing the foreign soldiers on the concession waiting for the battle, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "It seems that the noise we made tonight has scared the foreign devils. We have to fire two shots at this time, and it is estimated that they are really likely to fight with the devils!"

"Captain, you won't really shoot, are you?"

"Forget it! We'll go home and rest after a night. After dawn, we'll look at the movements on the street. Judging from time, the Japanese should have discovered something happened in the bank. Why didn't the firecrackers I left behind sound?"

"Captain, the explosion trap you set should be inside the vault. If you lock the vault door, it will definitely take a lot of time to open the Japanese. I guess when we get home, we should be able to hear the explosion coming from there."

"Okay, then let's go home first, sit at home and wait for the explosion. When the explosion sounds, let's sleep more peacefully!"

Hu Biao, who replied with a smile, was also looking forward to the explosion from Zhengjin Bank. Judging from the amount of explosives he had accumulated, Zhengjin Bank would inevitably collapse. The Japanese who entered the bank were afraid that there would be more misfortunes and would not have any good results.

When he arrived in the US Concession, he saw that the guards in charge of the US Concession seemed to have all pulled out. Hu Biao did not walk in the lights, but walked along the alleys, intending to avoid the US soldiers responsible for the security guards in the concession.

Back at the rented villa, looking at Du Youfu who also woke up, Hu Biao also said unexpectedly: "Uncle Fu, we haven't rested yet?"

"I woke up in fear! I was asleep when I suddenly heard an explosion, so I got up to take a look, worried that something would happen!"

"Nothing will happen! Just sleep with peace of mind! We'll have a rest too! If you have something, you'll know when you get up tomorrow."

"Okay! That little guy is going to rest! Young Master, you guys should also rest early."

Although he was curious about why Hu Biao and others returned to the villa so late, Du Youfu still asked nothing. He knew that if Hu Biao didn't want to say it, he couldn't ask more questions. Some things the more they knew, the more dangerous they were.

Some of the sniper team members who returned to the second and third floors to rest were in the villa area for the first time. Seeing Hu Biao in the concession, there was such a big house, it seemed a bit surprising. But they didn't say anything, and they washed up and prepared to rest.

At this moment, the Japanese, who had already entered full martial law, began to conduct strict investigations around the war zone. Some people lived in houses but did not escape the Japanese. For a moment, the entire Japanese-controlled area became in chaos.

When they learned that something happened on the Financial Street, the foreign consuls and military officers who were staying in the concession were also worried that something would happen to their bank, so they sent personnel and troops to try to enter the Financial Street to observe the situation. The Japanese army naturally refused to agree to this entry.

Faced with the Japanese army's obstruction, many consuls also said directly: "If something happens to our bank, you will bear all the responsibility. For your actions tonight, we will also send them back to the domestic government and make solemn representations and protests to you!"

If a bank's country is located in, the Japanese can ignore it. Then, as there are many countries protesting, the Japanese can't hold on. The Japanese can't afford to mess with the foreign consuls who are grouping together.

Just when the foreign consul negotiated with the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai, the Japanese commander who learned that something had happened in the Zhengjin Bank also ordered the troops to tightly block the Financial Street. When they learned that the iron gate outside the vault was opened, the Japanese commander realized that the situation was not good.

"Baga! How could the gate of the underground vault be opened so easily? Without a key, how did those people enter the vault? Has the insurance gate of the vault been opened?"

"General, it seems that there is no! When our soldiers inspected it, they found that the back door of the first floor hall of the bank was wide open, and the iron door of the underground vault was also opened. The only thing that was closed was that the insurance door of the underground vault was still locked."

"Where is the on-duty guard of the bank?"

"Only two surviving guards were found, and the rest of the guards were killed and killed! As for the attackers, they said they were unaware of the attackers. These two surviving guards were also awakened by the sound of explosions and gunshots, and their knowledge was extremely limited."

"Baga! All these guards are incompetent and can be dealt with later. Such guards are a shame to the empire!"

"Hi!"

"Where is the manager of Zhengjin Bank? Send someone to bring him here immediately! Baga, he has the key to the bank vault and knows how to open the underground vault. Also, warn the troops not to trespass other banks and not to provoke conflicts or disputes."

"Hi!"

Although such orders were somewhat surrendered to the foreigners in the concession, for the sake of the overall situation, the Japanese commanders did not dare to offend those foreigners too much. The previous incident of Jinling had greatly affected the reputation of the Fusang government.

If there is any protest from many countries, I am afraid the government will become very embarrassed. When the time comes, the generals stationed in Shanghai will naturally be the ones who are being scolded. In order to avoid causing conflicts, these generals naturally need to try their best to restrain themselves.

When the order was passed to the concession that had been strictly blocked, a Japanese squad that was checking the suspect was soon ordered to break into the villa where Yasuaki Ikeda lived. As soon as he entered the door, the team leader noticed that something was wrong.

"No! What should something happened to Manager Ikeda? Beware, go forward and open the door and see what's going on inside!"

The explosions from the concession have already caused panic among the expatriates living in the concession. Most families have turned on the lights and are paying attention to the situation outside. However, Yasuaki Ikeda's home is still secretly, and no one even responds to shouting or knocking on the door.

There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, something happened to Yasuke Ikeda's family. As the two Japanese soldiers carefully opened the door. With a ding dong, two grenades hanging on the door quickly fell to the ground and then exploded.

There were two "bang bang" explosions, and the Japanese who entered the door were instantly blown to death, and the wooden door that was opened was also blown to pieces. The Japanese who followed behind were also frightened and fell to the ground. After confirming that they were safe, the Japanese could only replace them and continue to check the situation.

When he came to the bedroom where Yasuke Ikeda's family was resting, looking at the locked door, a Japanese man slowly pushed open the door with his hands at the command of the team leader. As the Japanese were worried, there were also traps on this door.

After the two grenades exploded, the Japanese who followed soon saw that Ikeda Yasuaki's family was tied to the bed. Looking at the Ikeda Yasuaki's family who struggled desperately and looked full of horror, the Japanese who led the team breathed a spear.

"Hurry, save people immediately! Oh my God! It's really unbelievable that someone broke into the concession and kidnapped Manager Ikeda's family!"

After hearing the team leader’s purpose, Yasuaki Ikeda said with a frustration: “I am guilty! I’m sorry to the empire! Those who kidnapped me took my keys and forced me to tell the password of the vault.”

"You said the password? Who are those people?"

"I don't know! But I can confirm that the person leading the company must be from the Empire, with a Kyoto accent, and I know the situation of the bank and me very well. They threatened my son, and I didn't dare to resist at all!"

"You go and tell the general these words! If something really happens to the bank, you will be the sinner of the empire!"

After hearing what Ikeda Yasuke said, the team leader knew that the bank was still waiting for news, and he didn't care about continuing to ask, and immediately sent someone to drive Ikeda Yasuke to the bank. The time for one round and one trip was just enough for Hu Biao to return to the villa in the concession.

When Ikeda Yasuaki was escorted to the bank and personally handled the bank incident, the Japanese general also said seriously: "Manager Ikeda, you'd better expect the vault to be fine. If there is any loss in the vault, you will be dead."

"Hi! It's my fault! I will atone for the empire!"

As the bank manager, Ikeda Yasuaki is to blame for such a thing. Whether the vault has been looted or not, Ikeda Yasuaki is dead this time. But everyone hopes that the closed vault has not been opened by anyone.
