Chapter 128: Li Dai Tao Jiang

As soon as they stepped into the store door, they heard a chirping sound coming from the right side of the threshold in the darkness.

If you look carefully, you can see a spark moving forward in the darkness.

This is?

Before the members of the fire brigade could think of a reaction, the spark had burned out.

But a loud rumbling sound was heard, and then everyone felt a huge shock wave rushing toward themselves and others.

I wanted to scream but couldn't. I wanted to shout but couldn't. After a sound of severe pain, there was only endless darkness.

"Wei Shuai, fortunately, my subordinates and others took the first step." At the moment before the members of the fire brigade died, their last thought was not fear, but a sincere feeling of luck.

Boom!

Fujisaki Hide, who was hiding in the back room and observing, saw Wei Jichen and four or five others being thrown high into the air, and then their limbs were torn apart and scattered around, leaving a rain of blood on the ground.

The entire wine shop was shaken to the point of collapse. He could feel the ground beneath his feet shaking. Looking around, he saw that the area around the front door had been completely razed to the ground, the door was in a state of disrepair, and the walls were riddled with holes, wooden planks, and rubble. It exploded and scattered everywhere.

It fell in all directions with a crashing sound.

Wei Jichen died like this, in our hands. The Japanese who saw Wei Jichen being bombed to death were so excited that they couldn't help shouting.

"Gentlemen, we have made another great contribution to the empire. Now, it is time to evacuate this place and report the good news to the top." Hide Fujisaki suppressed the turbulence in his heart and calmed down first. The most important thing now is to escape.

Several subordinates echoed and tidied up casually.

Yamazaki Kusaburo even pinched the disheartened Li Que'er, followed Fujisaki Hide, and walked towards the outhouse that was riddled with holes.

Not far from the wine shop, Wei Jichen, who saw his men being blown away, was filled with rage and rage. They all died on his behalf.

It must have been done by the Japanese. Only they would spend such a high price and lay out such a careful plan.

Wei Jichen gritted his teeth and ordered: "Don't let any enemy escape."

"Yes, sir." Wang Huaiqing and Mengzi were also surprisingly angry. They did not expect that the Japanese would use explosives. In the end, they could only watch their brothers die and were helpless.

Especially Mengzi, his fire brigade suffered such heavy losses just after it was established. The members were not sacrificed on the battlefield, but died secretly assassinated by the enemy.

"Avenge our brothers, come on." Mengzi roared angrily and rushed towards the wine shop first.

Suddenly, countless shouts and shouts came from all dark corners, and bent soldiers emerged from everywhere, marching forward bravely without risking their lives.

Bang bang bang,

There were bursts of gunfire around the already burning wine shop.

Fujisaki Hide and others couldn't help but be frightened when they heard the commotion outside. They didn't even have time to check Wei Jichen's body, so they fled outside in a panic.

"Baga, Wei Zijun came so fast. Fortunately, we were well prepared, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to kill Wei Jichen this time." Fujisaki Hide was secretly shocked by Wei Zijun's reaction, while hiding behind the gravel and driving quickly outside. gun.

When he saw Yamazaki Gosaburo still holding Li Que'er between his arms, he couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Idiot, you are running for your life now, why are you still taking this woman with you? As long as we can escape, we will be the heroes of the empire. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to find a woman?”

Yamazaki Kasaburo first glanced at Li Que'er, who was pale and dull in his arms, but still beautiful. Then he listened to the shouts that were getting closer and closer, and finally reluctantly pushed Li Que'er into his arms. Throw it to the ground.

Raising his gun, Yamazaki Gosaburo was about to shoot at Li Que'er. Fujisaki Hide happened to see him again and cursed angrily again: "Asshole, use a knife, don't waste bullets."

After finishing speaking, Fujisaki Hide didn't wait for Yamazaki Gosaburo to respond, he took out the dagger on his body and stabbed Li Que'er hard on the left chest.

Li Queer seemed to have lost his soul, lifeless. Even when he was stabbed by a dagger, he did not make a sound, but his eyes were dull and unfocused.

"Let's go!" Fujisaki Hide stopped wasting time on her and rushed outside with the six Japanese, trying to escape before the soldiers of the Guards surrounded him.

As soon as Fujisaki Hide and others walked out of the room, they were immediately spotted by soldiers from the Guards Corps.

"The Japanese are here, kill them to avenge our brothers."

Now, the soldiers who found the target would naturally show no mercy.

Projectiles rained down at Fujisaki Hide and others, suppressing Fujisaki Hide and others until they lay on the ground unable to move, and no longer dared to come forward.

"Yamazaki, you take three soldiers and rush over there. I will take the remaining people and escape to the other side. This way the chance will be much greater." Fujisaki Hide leaned on the ground and shouted loudly.

After hearing his order, Yamazaki Kusaburo led the three Japanese forward without any hesitation.

However, Fujisaki Hide waited until he ran far away and attracted the gunfire of most of the Guardsmen soldiers, and then he got up and led the remaining people to flee wildly.

Bang bang bang,

The gunshots immediately focused on Yamazaki Gosaburo and others. With such fierce shooting, it didn't take long for the four people to be shot and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

Fujisaki Hide ran a certain distance and repeated his old trick, asking several other men to die.

In the end, relying on his familiarity with the terrain in this area and with only one subordinate, he managed to escape from the encirclement of the Guards and disappeared into the night.

"Sir, do we need to search the whole city?" Wang Huaiqing found that some Japanese had escaped, and he was like an angry leopard. In addition to scolding his men, he immediately came to ask Wei Jichen for instructions.

Wei Jichen had already walked to the front door of the wine shop. Seeing several fire brigade members who were blown to pieces, he felt bad.

"No need to chase, block this place, anyone who knows the inside story must not leak any words about tonight's incident, and then spread the news that I was ambushed and killed by the explosion." Wei Jichen turned around and said slowly.

"Yes, sir." Wang Huaiqing was stunned at first, and then he replied decisively.

Wei Jichen checked the bodies of Yamazaki and others again, and saw that their feet were obviously often wearing clogs. There was no need to check more, confirming that they were undoubtedly Japanese.

The huge explosion had long awakened the people living around the wine shop. They put on their clothes and hid at the door to watch the situation, but heard bursts of gunfire coming from outside the door, so they hurriedly hid back, closed the door, and prayed for the Buddha's blessing.

The soldiers patrolling at night also reacted quickly. They came over soon and wanted to go forward to find out the situation, but members of the personal guard team came out to stop them.

The patrolling soldiers were secretly shocked and guessed in their hearts what had happened. There were general Wei's personal soldiers here. Could it be that the explosion just now was related to General Wei?

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, whether it is the Japanese or the Qing army.

After Fujisaki Hide escaped from the encirclement, he immediately spread the news that Wei Jichen was killed by himself through special channels like crazy in all directions, including the base camp, Ximu City, and even Gaiping City.

And in Haicheng City, rumors soon spread everywhere.

The gunshots calmed down, but the hearts of the people could no longer calm down.

"Did you hear the loud noise just now?"

"I heard it."

"It's terrible. I heard that General Wei was assassinated by the Japanese. The loud noise just now was the explosion of the explosives planted by the Japanese."

"This can't be true. How could General Wei be assassinated by the Japanese so easily?"

"I don't know. People in the city are in a panic now. All kinds of rumors are spreading. I don't know which news is true, but it is absolutely true that General Wei was assassinated by the Japanese. I just don't know how he is now."

"General Wei is lucky and will be fine."

"That's true. It's just that those Japanese are too hateful. They can't beat General Wei, so they actually use such despicable means."

The rumor spread from the mouths of the people to the army. For a time, the defenders in the city were not in a stable mood, and the soldiers were at a loss.

The Yi Army was stationed in Haicheng with the Wei Army. Ma Jinxu had just laid down when he heard the explosion that spread throughout the city.

He got up quickly, put on his clothes, opened the door and asked what happened.

Soon, a soldier came to report in a panic.

"Sir, something big has happened. General Wei was assassinated by the Japanese. There is a rumor in the city that he was killed in the explosion." The soldier said with a sad face.

"You, what did you say, Wei Jichen was killed in the explosion." Ma Jinxu stepped forward in disbelief, staring at the soldier with a look of shock.

"Yes, sir, I don't know the specific situation, but it is certain that General Wei was assassinated. I heard that several generals of the Wei army rushed to the direction of the explosion like crazy." The soldier also hoped that Wei Jichen was fine, so he didn't say it for sure.

"Let's go, follow me to investigate the situation." Ma Jinxu couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly took a few soldiers to the wine shop.

At the same time, the commanders of the various armies stationed around Haicheng also learned the news one after another. Nie Guilin, Xu Bangdao and others were extremely shocked and personally led their soldiers to rush back to Haicheng.

At the wine shop, when Ma Jinxu and his subordinates arrived, several generals of the Wei army, Li Yunfei, Wang Shizhen and others had already arrived and were standing in the house with a wooden face.

The whole wine shop was filled with a deep sadness and lingering anger, which was about to break through the nine heavens and rush towards the Japanese.

Ma Jinxu's heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped into the room. Just from the outside, he could see how powerful the explosion was. A big deep pit was right in front of the door of the wine shop.

"Zijie!" Ma Jinxu cried out in grief. There were five bloody bodies in the middle of the room. The one in the middle was dressed exactly like Wei Jichen. What made Ma Jinxu even more nervous was that Nie Rongcai was kneeling in front of him and crying. The generals of the Wei army around him also had red eyes and lowered their heads without moving.

In this situation, if Wei Jichen had not died in battle, what else could it be?
