Chapter 249 Inside Story
"Just a few spies,
This time, those guys from the Secret Service want to destroy all the supplies we have stored in the Chaoyangmen warehouse.

One or two hundred people were dispatched.

If it weren’t for the extremely strict guards of our Public Security Bureau at the warehouse and the dense patrol teams deployed nearby, they might have succeeded.”

When I heard Lin Zheng say that the secret service agents were sent to burn down the warehouse,
He Yuzhu was shocked.

When he heard the intensive gunfire coming from Chaoyang Gate in the house just now, he knew that the Bureau of Secrets must have dispatched a lot of people.

But he thought there would be at most a few dozen people, but he didn't expect there would be so many.

So I asked with some concern,

"Brother Lin, why did the Secret Service send out so many agents? Is there nothing going on at the granary?"

"Nothing's happening at the granary.

There were so many of them, but they didn't all rush to the warehouse at once.
There were only about 10 people who went to the warehouse, and the others were all waiting in ambush at various places outside.

However, those guys who were heading to the warehouse were spotted by our sentinels before they even got close to the warehouse. The sentries fired their guns to warn them, and several nearby patrol teams immediately came over to support them.
Then it was a chase all the way.

But these spies are really strong in combat.

In addition, they were very familiar with the situation in Peking, and had people supporting and ambushing them in various places, so they were able to rush out.

These guys originally wanted to go to Zhengyang Gate, but they were unable to attack when they reached the city gate tower.

Seeing that the Zhengyang Gate was not working,
Then we ran along the alleys towards Shichahai, leaving people behind to snipe us, hoping that the main force would get rid of us.

But they don’t even think about it,
How many patrols have we deployed in the city?

They are so bold as to want to burn our food supplies, how can we let them escape!"

Hearing Lin Zheng's words, He Yuzhu thought that this was right. With so many spies going to the warehouse to cause trouble, they would be too big a target.
Now this kind of clear planning and division of labor is the right approach.

Then He Yuzhu asked cautiously,
"Brother Lin, you said they had a lot of people in ambush, so how about the comrades in charge of the pursuit? Were there many casualties?"

"The casualties were not great.

In addition to being caught off guard by the spies at the beginning, which resulted in the sacrifice of several comrades,
Later on, the comrades became much more cautious. The orders from above were to consume them slowly and then narrow the encirclement step by step. Otherwise, they would not be able to cross most of Beijing from Zhengyang Gate to Shichahai.

When they ran to Shichahai,

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, I led my colleagues from the branch to chase and intercept them.
Then they were slowly driven to the vicinity of the Siheyuan,
I knew that you were so bold that you would definitely get involved and easily keep a few people behind.

Who knew they were so unlucky?

Or maybe he knew he couldn't escape.
They had the bad luck to stop at the entrance of your courtyard alley, and tried to fight us to the bitter end right under your noses.
Then they reimbursed me directly, which was beyond my expectation."

Just as Lin Zheng finished speaking, another person appeared behind him. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Director Ma Yongqiu from the Chaoyang Branch.

"Pillar,
You just used grenades, submachine guns, and pistols. In just a short while, the gunshots and explosions were like frying beans. Aren't you afraid of hitting the wrong person? "

Hearing Ma Yongqiu's question, He Yuzhu naturally had to explain to him.
"Director Ma, this isn't that simple.
This is the city of Beiping. How could our patrol team be chased around like rabbits?
The gunshots had just been heard from Chaoyang Gate, and I was watching from the rooftop.

I almost watched them escape all the way here,

How could I have made a mistake!
As for the gunshots and explosions, two grenades were thrown down first, but they couldn't see them in the dark, and then there were submachine guns and pistols.

Let go of the alley entrance and directly pour bullets into the corner area where people can obviously hide.
There's no need to aim, since it's pitch dark and you can't see anyone anyway."

After hearing He Yuzhu's response, Ma Yongqiu patted his shoulder vigorously, smiled and nodded.

"Not bad, not bad, I was right about you, you have a quick mind, no wonder when I first met Lin Zheng, he said without hesitation that he wanted to drive people to your side.

Or he understands you.”

Then Ma Yongqiu looked at He Yuzhu with a half-smile and asked,
"How about it, Zhuzi, do you want to know the results of your battle?"

"Director Ma, I know what I did. I was watching from the rooftop when I threw the torch just now.

The hooligans lying on the ground were bleeding all over. I guess I beat them all to a pulp. There's nothing to see if they go out now!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't want to go out to see the scene, Ma Yongqiu and Lin Zheng didn't force him.

Then he prepared to leave the courtyard and continue his work.
"Okay, Pillar,

We just came in to check the situation. We have a lot of things to do outside, so I won't say more to you. Go to bed early.

I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

"Brother Chenglin, Director Ma, you guys go about your business. I have to go back to my room and sleep.
Go to the bureau tomorrow to get some bullets and grenades."

Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, said hello to the neighbors in the courtyard, and then left with Ma Yongqiu.

Close the gate of the courtyard again,

He Yuzhu turned around and said to the neighbors,
"Dad, uncles and aunts, it's getting late. Why don't you all go home and sleep? We still have to go to work tomorrow."

Although He Yuzhu asked everyone to go back to sleep, the neighbors saw He Yuzhu kill people up close for the first time, and heard Lin Zheng and others talk about the number of spies who went to sabotage this time.

How can I sleep at this time?

"Zhu Zi, don't rush to sleep. Just now, Director Lin and his men said that the patrol team killed many spies this time.
Such a big thing will surely make a big splash in Beiping tomorrow, let’s talk about it later.”

Looking at the energetic neighbors, He Yuzhu was in no mood to chat with them. He had to go back to wash up and get rid of the cold, otherwise he would catch a cold tomorrow.
"Dear uncles and aunts, I say you have it,
You only saw the patrols in the city killing so many spies,
Didn't I hear from Brother Lin and the others that several patrol team members were injured or killed tonight?
There's nothing much to say about this, right?
If you really want to know, why don't you wait until tomorrow's newspaper comes out and take a good look at it?"

After saying that, He Yuzhu ignored them.
He took back his kerosene lamp from Yan Bugui, carried the stairs back to the eaves, and then opened the door and walked in.
