Chapter 427 Assassination

The car drove out of Xinhua Gate and detoured to the State Guest House in Beihai. Although the guest house is still part of the Presidential Palace, the Presidential Palace is entrenched in the forest gardens of the three seas in the north and south, covering a large area, and most of the interior still retains the old doors of the Qing Dynasty. The car could not be unobstructed, so it could only drive out and go around the street.

Walk west along Chang'an Street in front of Xinhua Gate, and soon arrive at the intersection of Xidan Street.

In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, most of the office locations of the national government were located in Xicheng District. In order to meet the needs of the men of the imperial government, Xidan Street gradually developed into an all-encompassing gathering place for commercial and entertainment. However, today, Xidan is far less prosperous than the prosperous future of later generations. There are small buildings and small houses on both sides of the street, and industries are all in it. The car turned from here to North Street.

Wu Shaoting is not unfamiliar with this road. He went from his residence to the Presidential Palace. If he didn't take a sedan chair or walk, he would basically have to take a detour from this road. It's afternoon now, and the summer is long, and there are not many pedestrians on the street. I only saw a few officials who had just finished their meals and were staggering from the restaurant to the tobacco restaurant.

When we arrived at Lingjing Hutong, the car turned around again and headed eastward, but at this moment, a carriage suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Hutong. The carriage dragged a cart of cloth bags and broke the rope for no reason and fell off the car. Suddenly, the road at the intersection of the Hutong was blocked by the carriage and cargo.

The car driver patted the whistle and horn, and impatiently poked his head out of the window and shouted: "Did you see the road? Why did you drive? Who asked you to drive on this road? Hurry up and pick it up, don't block the road. A ungrateful slave!"

Three people jumped out of the carriage. They didn't say a word, but hurriedly lifted the fallen goods one by one and put them back on the car. The car had no choice but to stop here and wait. Wu Shaoting didn't care. It was very common to encounter some accidents when he went out and encountered them. He couldn't live a smooth life. But Wang Yun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was in a very strange mood. He always felt that the accident happened too strange. Of course, he couldn't do anything now, so he could only stare at the front coldly.

About a few minutes later, a car suddenly appeared behind him, but he was very anxious. Later, the car braked suddenly, and the whole car was crossed in the middle of the alley road, and was blocked by the rear.

This scene came very suddenly. Even if Wu Shaoting, Wang Yun and others were very steady, they had to feel the strange things.

Wang Yun had already pressed his hand on his waist, turned around and said quickly: "Governor, something is wrong."

Wu Shaoting looked calm and thought quickly about his way out. Because he was not too far from the State Guest House to the Presidential Palace, and he was familiar with his frequent visits, so today he only brought Wang Yun and two entourages including the driver. Including him, he only had four people. Now the road ahead and the way back have been blocked, so he didn't know who the other party and how many people there were. The room was obviously not good. He quickly observed the surroundings through the car window and judged the geographical environment here in order to find the route to break through the shortest time.

At this moment, three figures quickly emerged from the car behind, each with two Mauser pistols in his hand.

Before the people in the car could react, the gunshots were already crackling. The three people behind fired first, and then the three people on the carriage also fired. Although the gunshots on the carriage were weaker, one of them was holding a rifle, which was much more powerful than the Mauser pistol.

Wu Shaoting's car was instantly knocked into a hornet's nest, and the windows and glasses were all exploded. Fortunately, the iron body could withstand the penetration of bullets. The people in the car pressed their heads under their bodies and did not dare to raise their heads at all. In such close-range blasting and intensive shooting, any extra move would cause the bullet to greet them.

"Governor, there is a pistol under the seat of the car!" Wang Yun shouted.

Wu Shaoting reached out to explore under the seat for a while, and found a Mauser pistol. This gun was not arranged by Wang Yun, but this car was originally available. The vehicle carrying important personnel would definitely have a guard. But at present, the defense measures of a small pistol were obviously dispensable. Judging from the firepower of these killers, he could not find any opportunity to counterattack and break through. If there was no counterattack, before the reinforcements heard the news, the car had been beaten to pieces, and the people in the car would be smashed with each other.

Wang Yun suddenly kicked open the car door, used the car door to block the firepower on the carriage, then pulled out his pistol and poked his hand and fired at the car behind. Although he was not aiming, it still had a certain amount of pressure and the firepower behind suddenly weakened.

Taking advantage of this moment, he shouted loudly: "Governor, we must rush out."

Wu Shaoting took a deep breath. He had just observed the terrain here. Both intersections of the alley road were blocked. The only terrain that could be used was a house on the left. He had to rush into the house. If there was a back door, it would be better. If there was a back door, it would be better. If there was no back door, it would be necessary to break out the window. Now there are not many opportunities to choose, so he could only grit his teeth. He gritted his teeth and said immediately: "Concentrate the firepower to suppress the back, open the car doors and block the front, and then rush to the house over there. Wang Yun, go and kick the door open, and the three of us will cover you."

Wang Yun nodded and did not say anything.

The door of the car was immediately opened, and four pistols started to fight back from each gap.

Wang Yun was about to rush out of the car, but heard a roar from the car behind him: "Don't drag it anymore, hurry up and take ** and blow them to death."

After hearing this, everyone in the car was cheered up. These bandits were indeed cruel and had premeditated, and even the bombs were ready. Wu Shaoting knew that he could not drag them down. Once the bomb was thrown over, the explosion would be extremely lethal. Not to mention that the entire street might be under destruction. Maybe even if he hid in a private house, he would be affected.

"Can't wait, just rush now!" he shouted.

While the people in the car behind were preparing bombs and their firepower was weakened, Wu Shaoting immediately launched an action.

The driver and another guard jumped out of the car and shot violently at both ends.

Wang Yun rolled sideways and quickly flashed out of the passenger seat, shooting while going around from the front of the car to the other side. At this time, Wu Shaoting also came out, and three pistols shot out their anger to cover Wang Yun and rushed towards the private house.

"Ah!" With a scream, the driver was shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground.

Wu Shaoting and others really had no time to take care of it. It was difficult to protect themselves at this time, let alone take care of the wounded. He and the only remaining guard lowered their bodies and quickly approached the house while firing. Wang Yun had already run over in the rain of bullets and flew up and put his foot on the door with all his strength. The door frame vibrated, but the door was only loose and did not break open.

Wang Yun cursed secretly and quickly lifted his foot and kicked it.

But at this moment, the guard behind him shouted in horror: "Bomb, bomb!"

Wu Shaoting had already seen a pack of tied ** from the car behind. To sum it up, at least four yellow ** tubes were at least four yellow ** tubes. The lead wire that had been pulled long had burned for half. Although the ** was thrown out, the killers in front and back quickly looked for a hidden secret, and there was a chance of gap in the moment before the explosion. He had an idea to take the bomb and throw it back, but soon found that the bomb was thrown to the car, and he was now eight or nine steps away from the car.

"Crash the door quickly." He shouted decisively.

Wang Yun tried his best to kick the door and the door finally broke.

"Governor, go in quickly." Wang Yun did not rush in. He pulled Wu Shaoting first and pushed Wu Shaoting in.

When the guard turned around and retreated to the door, the bomb exploded with a "boom".

The strong impact force generated by the explosion first rushed over, pushing the guards and Wang Yun hard. This push allowed the two to avoid the house faster. Following the shock wave was a hot wave of heat, and at the same time, the explosion of flames and car fragments followed one after another.
