Yu Xingsheng and Gao Lang were very accurate marksmen. As the main target of the attack, Mitani Yosuke felt a jolt all over his body and was hit by two shots in the back and abdomen at the same time. Morita Yuki was a little luckier because a passerby had not completely moved out of position, which affected Sun Yandong's attack. In the rush, the bullet only hit his shoulder.
Despite having prepared beforehand, they were caught off guard by Takeshita Shinya's sudden attention and reacted a beat too late, resulting in both of them being severely injured. Mitani Yosuke was hit in a vital spot and collapsed to the ground.
This sudden situation startled everyone. Abe Yoshiaki, Ōtani's bodyguard, was the first to react. He darted forward and stepped in front of Ōtani, shielding him behind him.
At the same time, gunshots rang out continuously. The Japanese agents who had already taken ambush positions opened fire as soon as the gunshots rang out. They did not give Yu Xingsheng and the other two a chance to fire a second shot. Several bullets hit the three of them. However, Iwai Nosuke had specifically instructed them to leave survivors, so their attacks were cautious and they tried not to hit vital organs. Yu Xingsheng and Sun Yandong let out a few muffled groans as they were shot in the legs and arms at the same time. They immediately lost the ability to resist and fell to the ground.
Gao Lang's situation was even worse. The Japanese agents, who were targeting him, lost their aim. A bullet that was originally aimed at his shoulder hit him directly in the forehead, killing him instantly.
At that moment, Iwai nosuke, who had already rushed out of the street, ran towards Otani Hitoshi.
Takeshita Shinya was also stunned by the sudden situation. He was somewhat bewildered and at a loss. Almost instantly, a group of people in front of him fell down. He had no time to react at all.
Japanese agents emerged from the shadows and pounced on Yu Xingsheng and his group, intending to capture them alive.
Yu Xingsheng, lying on the ground, struggled to stay upright. He glanced at Sun Yandong, who was lying not far away. The two men looked at each other and were filled with regret as they watched the Japanese agents surrounding them. They had been careless after all. Over such a long period of time, they had successfully ambushed many of their prey, and their vigilance was far less than it had been at the beginning. They had not noticed so many Japanese agents lying in ambush around them, and thus fell into the enemy's trap. This time, they could not escape.
"Old Yu, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, so I'll have to go first!" Sun Yandong gave a bitter smile. He had been working at the Shanghai station for many years. As an intelligence agent who had fought on the front lines against Japan for many years, he did not take any chances. He knew what awaited them: all kinds of extremely painful tortures, endless mental and physical torment. Even a veteran agent like Yu Li eventually became a traitor to the nation.
"I'm sorry, it was my negligence that dragged the brothers into this!" Yu Xingsheng nodded with a grim face. Without further hesitation, the two men lowered their heads and bit down hard on their collars, their saliva soaking through their clothes. All they could do now was wait in despair for death to come.
While everyone's attention was focused on Yu Xingsheng and the other two, Guo Cheng, who was in charge of providing backup, huddled in a corner not far away, slowly moving backward.
Before the operation, he knew that with the marksmanship of his three colleagues, dealing with two unsuspecting targets would be no problem at all. All he had to do was observe the surroundings for any unusual situations and determine whether the retreat route was safe.
But what happened next was completely unexpected. The gunshots had just been fired when the team leader and his team were shot down, followed by the sudden appearance of Japanese agents.
They've laid an ambush! It's a trap, a trap specifically designed to target them!
Guo Cheng did not take any further action. He wanted to observe the situation and report the results of the operation to his superiors. If his colleagues were left alive, their hideouts and contact points had to be evacuated. Otherwise, if anyone defected to the enemy, the entire organization would suffer serious losses.
Iwai nosuke ran all the way to Otani Jinki, and at the same time, the action team members who were following not far away and responsible for protecting Otani Jinki rushed to the front as fast as they could after hearing the gunshot, and surrounded Otani Jinki tightly in the middle.
The assassination was very brief, lasting only a few seconds!
Two Japanese agents, used as bait, were killed and wounded, while all three Chinese agents were killed on the spot.
At this moment, Iwai Nosuke finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly stepped forward and bowed to Otani Hitoshi, saying, "Mr. Otani, this was just an accident. I'm sorry you were frightened!"
Hitoshi Otani frowned and looked at the agents around him. The assassination operation started suddenly and ended quickly. As soon as the gunshot rang out, Abe Yoshiaki blocked it behind him. He didn't even have time to know the specifics of the situation.
But today's tour was definitely ruined, and his initial enthusiasm had completely vanished.
He didn't recognize Iwai nosuke at all, so he simply nodded and said to Takeshita Shinya, who was standing there dumbfounded, "Takeshita-kun, let's go too!"
However, Takeshita Shinya was somewhat at a loss. He had seen Morita Yuki fall to the ground after being shot, his life hanging in the balance. So he hesitated and said, "Mr. Otani, please wait a moment. One of my colleagues has been shot. I want to go and see him!"
After saying that, he lifted his leg and was about to walk towards the direction where Morita Yuki had fallen.
Abe Yoshiaki, standing to the side, frowned. His mission was to protect Otani Hitoshi's safety; he didn't care about the lives of others.
Just as he was about to urge Takeshita Shinya to leave again, his gaze followed Takeshita Shinya's body, but he caught a glimpse of someone not far to his side, which terrified him.
