Chapter 11 Nanjing (Part 2)
Around three o'clock in the night, San Ge quietly snuck back home.
"A few brothers, long wait." Third brother threw down his clothes and bowed his hands, continuing to say: "Now outside the cold is freezing, if the city gate does not open for a long time, I'm afraid the common people will disperse soon. At that time, even if the city gate opens again, it will be difficult to notify the evacuation."
"But we've never been to that place before, how can it take several days to get familiar with the situation?!"
"I'm familiar with the place, first we need to take out the two guards at the entrance and replace them with our people, get the password, then we can directly sneak into the military commander's office, take out the two door guards, replace them with our people, what's left is just faking a military order. And, when I came back earlier, I saw that the military commander's house was still brightly lit. How about it, do you dare to do it?"
"What if that army commander would rather die than surrender?" the old devil asked, which was also my biggest concern. There were also many unyielding true men in the national army.
"Haha, as long as he's here, there's no way we can't win. Come on in, brother!"
A young man with a clear and elegant appearance walked in, wearing a long gown, with a standard student haircut, refined and courteous, looking like a scholar.
"Who is this?" I asked San Ge while looking at him.
"This is the divine doctor, in the past his ancestors were in charge of flogging and branding irons in the imperial court's Ministry of Punishment. After the Republic was established, this kid became a doctor, but nobody dared to ask him for treatment because they knew about it, haha." Third Brother stopped talking when he saw the divine doctor glare at him, probably because the divine doctor didn't acknowledge his ancestors' profession.
"We don't have time for that nonsense!"
"That won't be necessary, if the military commander's memory isn't bad, I estimate that once he sees me, he'll obediently listen to orders." The divine doctor looked at our skeptical faces and continued: "I once helped them interrogate a prisoner, and the military commander was also present at the time."
"Then let's not delay, let's do it!"
A group of people put on the military uniforms stolen by San Ge and set out towards the Garrison Command.
They easily knocked out two drowsy sentries, Zhu and Lao Gui standing at the gate. They woke one of them up, saw a steel knife on his neck, and his pants were immediately wet. He asked for the password very easily, then San Ge used another hand knife to make him fall asleep again. With the password, they climbed up to the second floor smoothly, and after exchanging passwords with the patrolling soldier, they followed San Ge to the door of the military commander's office. San Ge and Hao Zi walked in front of the sentry, saluting while exchanging passwords, and with a swift hand knife, they easily knocked out the two soldiers. I and Shen Yi pushed open the door and entered the office, not knowing if the handgun would fire, directly pressed against the forehead of the military commander who had a worried look on his face. Hao Zi and San Ge threw the two unconscious guards into the room, picked up their guns and stood outside the door.
"What kind of people are you? Now is the time for cooperation between the Nationalists and Communists, to jointly resist Japan." No wonder he's a military commander, with two guns pointed at his head, he can still remain so calm.
"Sorry, we're not... Take a look at me, do you still recognize me?" The divine doctor took off his military cap and looked at the general, with a sinister smile on his face. That expression seemed to change his appearance, and an elegant scholar suddenly turned into a bloodthirsty psychopathic killer.
"What's wrong with you?" I could clearly see a flicker of fear in the general's eyes, and his voice became much softer. Seeing the general who was calm just now suddenly become so afraid made me look at the divine doctor again, and that expression made my stomach churn once more.
"Since it's me, let's cut to the chase. Open the city gate and let the people out."
"This is an order from above, and I am also helpless!"
"Hehe, okay, it's been a long time since I've practiced, let me see if my skills are rusty."
"Spare... spare... spare me, sir! I'll let a few of you leave the city, how about it?"
The divine doctor didn't say a word, just pouted and then took out a small bag from his body, opened it to reveal more than a dozen silver needles of various sizes, a willow-leaf knife, and several small hooks. The tools were all quite small and didn't seem particularly intimidating.
"Stop, stop, stop! Divine Healer, I'm begging you, as long as it's not opening the city gate, I'll agree to anything."
"Tie him to the stool, gag his mouth, haha! Tonight is going to be fun, brother you should learn from this too, it will come in handy later." The divine doctor said with a perverted expression, his hands crossed and rotating as he spoke to me.
"Alright, I'll open it, you promise not to kill me?"
"No guarantee, no refund, hehe!" The perverted voice of the divine doctor echoed in my ears once again.
"Spare my life, sir! Considering we used to work together!"
After the order was given, I chopped a knife towards the general's neck, but surprisingly didn't knock him out. The divine doctor came over and added another palm, only then did the general fall into a deep 'sleep'. "Lost face" muttered to himself.
"It doesn't matter, just practice more and you'll be fine." The divine doctor gave me an encouraging smile, and at this moment, the divine doctor's face returned to its original gentle appearance as a bookworm, and his voice was much softer, it seemed like two different people.
As the people outside the city began to surge towards the city gate, we quietly retreated, turned off the lights in the military commander's office, tied up the two guards, stuffed cloth into their mouths, and then rushed into the fleeing crowd.
