Chapter 443: The Yuan Mansion

The second wave of Japanese invaders arrived soon after.

They were a mighty force, with the strength of two squadrons. There were more than 300 of them.

Zhang Yong was dumbfounded.

This was a very strong fighting force.

They couldn't beat them. They couldn't beat them at all.

One squadron of the enemy was enough to completely defeat them.

The enemy has grenade launchers and light machine guns, and can completely wipe them out.

What to do? Just run.

So they retreat.

'Where are we going?'

'Yuan Wenhui's lair. Wang Zhulin's lair. Zhang Benzheng's lair. Which one is closer?'

'We need to look at the map!'

'The map!'

Everyone takes out the map. They spread it out.

First they determine the location of Tang Village. Then they calculate the distance to each place.

It was discovered that the closest one was Yuan Wenhui's lair. That is, the Yuan Mansion. The distance was about five kilometres.

'Good, let's go to the Yuan Mansion.'

'Shaolong, Yuan Wenhui has many subordinates, and the Yuan Mansion may have a strong garrison...'

Yu Lexing wanted to speak up but stopped.

He thought Zhang Yong was going to avoid the real problem and attack the Yuan Mansion by surprise.

In fact, this was almost impossible. Yuan Wenhui's lair was permanently guarded by a large number of guards. There was no chance of an attack.

'Let's go take a look first!' Zhang Yong didn't say anything.

He was actually a little reluctant. He wanted to go and see if there was any opportunity to make a profit.

Tangcun was out of the question anyway. It would be better to look around.

This was the result of having no plan.

He never had a plan for his actions. He just went wherever he wanted.

From the outside, it looked like he was just going from one thing to the next, with no plan. His thoughts didn't connect. I don't know what he was thinking.

At Zhang Yong's insistence, the group hurried to the vicinity of Yuan's mansion.

It was said to be Yuan's mansion, but it could actually be described as a large villa. It covered a fairly large area. At least more than two mu.

It was surrounded by a very high wall. At least two zhang high, which is a full six metres.

No wonder he was the number one traitor in Tianjin. It really was magnificent!

There are many guards at the entrance.

They are all carrying submachine guns.

I counted with binoculars and there are eight of them.

These are just the ones outside the door. How many are there inside?

Zhang Yong silently counted using the system map. He found that the small white dots inside were too dense and it was almost impossible to count them.

A conservative estimate is that there are at least hundreds of people inside. They are probably all heavily armed.

It can be seen that they cannot take this Yuan Mansion. Unless they have heavy weapons. They can annihilate the enemy from a distance.

'We can't get in,' Yu Lexing shook his head.

'We can't get in,' Cao Mengqi said, admitting for the first time that he was not up to the task.

There were so many enemies.

The wall was so high.

They only had pistols and rifles, and they definitely couldn't defeat the enemy.

Even if they brought in mortars, it would be useless. Mortars couldn't destroy the high wall. Only mountain artillery could.

So they were going to get a mountain artillery gun? That was too exaggerated. It was impossible.

'Kill everyone at the gate.'

'Shaolong...'

Yu Lexi wanted to speak but stopped.

He felt that Zhang Yong was working on something useless. It was a bit of a dead end.

What's the point of killing a few minions? These people on guard duty are all the lowest level minions. Killing a hundred of them won't hurt Yuan Wenhui in the slightest.

If you kill a hundred here, they'll immediately replace them with two hundred.

Right now, Tianjin is not lacking for manpower. For two silver dollars a month, you can get a lot of people to work for you.

Really.

If the Fuxing Society were to recruit, and they said that the monthly salary was guaranteed to be at least two silver dollars, I reckon the queue of applicants would stretch from the city centre to Dagu Port.

'Since we're here...' Zhang Yong quoted the most famous line.

Minions are minions.

Even the minions can be killed. After all, it's not like they came for nothing.

Killing a few minions today and a few tomorrow will at least deal a blow to Yuan Wen.

At the very least, everyone around him will have to think twice.

I don't think any minion will want to keep standing guard outside. It's a death sentence.

Fear spreads like this.

Well, that's it.

In fact, he knows that this won't work.

The problem is, he can't think of a better solution. He doesn't have the high IQ of the main character in a spy thriller!

He can only do it the hard way.

No, that's not right. It's the hard work.

Since he's not clever enough, he'll just work harder.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off...

What if he happens to step on the enemy's tail one day?

'Okay!'

Yu Lexi is at a loss for words. Is that what it seems?

Since he's already here,

Since there was no other way, he decided to provoke them.

He arranged for the gunmen to fire.

'Bam! Bam! Bam!'

'Bang! Bang! Bang!'

After a short while, the gunfire started.

The eight henchmen outside fell to the ground. They had all been shot dead.

In front of the rifle, they were just targets.

Fixed targets at that.

Anybody with a little training could hit them easily.

The door opened.

Someone inside rushed out. They were fast and aggressive.

They are the men of Yuan Wenhui. They are indeed very brave. They are not afraid of the gunfire outside. They rush out like a swarm of bees. It seems like they are trying to grab the glory.

However...

They immediately come under heavy fire.

'Pop, pop!'

'Bang, bang!'

Everyone continues to shoot.

All the rifles fire in rapid succession.

In an instant, several of the guards who rushed out are hit again. Many of them fall without a sound.

A rifle bullet doesn't even give you a chance to grunt.

A pistol bullet can give you a bit of a fight.

The doorway is only so big. Not many people can come through at the same time. It's just the right size for concentrated fire.

Unfortunately...

They're all bolt-action rifles.

And they're not even British 77s. They only have five-round magazines.

After five rounds, they have to reload. This inevitably causes a lull in the fire. It gives the remaining enemies a chance to react.

Thompson submachine guns?

They don't want to use them. They're worried about running out of bullets.

In this kind of combat, you don't need a submachine gun either. That's for melee combat.

'Ambush!'

'Ambush!'

The guards inside don't feel good. They hurry to close the gate. They don't care about the surviving comrades outside.

As a result, the traitorous guards who have not yet been killed suddenly become tragic. They are blocked outside by the gate. There is no way to hide. There is no way to avoid it. In the end, they are fiercely shot down by rifle bullets. And then they die.

'What's going on?'

'Where are the enemies? Who are they?'

'Bastards!'

'How dare they mess with us!'

'Baka!'

Inside the villa, Yuan Wenyao angrily scolded everyone.

He was the second brother of Yuan Wenhui. He was also Yuan Wenhui's deputy. He had a high status in the Yuan mansion. He was known as the 'smartest guy'. He was naturally suspicious.

After Yuan Wenhui went to the Baohua Building to attend the banquet, it was Yuan Wenyao who stayed behind.

As he had not been invited to the Japanese banquet, Yuan Wenyao was feeling depressed.

In a bad mood, he spent his time at home fooling around with his concubines day and night. Vent his energy. Unexpectedly, the sudden sound of gunshots shattered the tranquility of the Yuan mansion. It also made Yuan Wenyao furious.

Since the Yuan mansion was built, no one has ever been so arrogant as to come knocking on the door. Just who is this person?

The Yuan mansion is now backed by the Japanese, so who would dare provoke them?

He was furious. He decided to send someone out to check.

Of course, he didn't go through the front door. He went through the side door.

The result...

As soon as the side door opened, three men in cheongsam came out.

They peeked around furtively.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

They were immediately shot.

Just kidding! You want to get out? Dream on!

Zhang Yong couldn't get in. But the people inside couldn't get out either.

He wanted to trap the Yuan mansion.

Surround and attack.

Whoever comes, beats whoever!

The guard behind the side door saw that it was not good, and hurriedly closed the iron door tightly.

The side door of this Yuan mansion was actually made of iron. The pistol bullets could not even penetrate it. However, Zhang Yong felt that rifle bullets might be worth a try.

Arrange it immediately.

The penetrating power of the Mosina is very good.

At this moment...

Inside the villa...

'Second Master, there is an ambush at the side door too!'

'Bastard!'

Yuan Wenyao's brows furrowed.

Who the hell are these enemies? How ruthless can they be?

How come they even blocked the side door?

They just left, and they were shot at? They must have been prepared for this.

Damn, this feels like something serious!

The enemy has actually surrounded the Yuan mansion. Are they trying to storm it?

Damn it!

Who the hell has the guts to do this?

The more he thinks about it, the more it doesn't make sense.

'Second Master, should we report to the First Master...'

'No!'

Yuan Wenyao waves his hand.

Report to Yuan Wenhui? Wouldn't that make him look incompetent?

Things are not that dire. He can deploy troops on his own. The Yuan mansion has plenty of people. The Green Gang has plenty of people.

Don't forget, Yuan Wenhui is the boss of the Green Gang in Tianjin. He, Yuan Wenyao, is the second in command.

He can command the Green Gang even without Yuan Wenhui.

He immediately makes a phone call to deploy troops.

He doesn't believe that the Green Gang, with so many people, won't be able to handle a few attackers!

It's just as well, because they can get rid of them all at once.

They take the opportunity to tell everyone that the Yuan mansion is someone they can't mess with.

No one at the Yuan mansion gives a damn except the Japanese!
