Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 877 Success and Failure

Wang Tianmu's nickname in the Military Intelligence Bureau was "Three-Eyed King".

This person is no ordinary individual.

Before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he passed the imperial examination and later joined the Northeast Military Academy.

After graduation, he also studied in Japan.

He obtained a Bachelor of Laws degree.

In 1932, he joined the Special Service Department as a judge of the Beiping Local Court and was soon promoted to station chief of Tianjin Station.

According to the original historical trajectory, he should have been promoted to the head of the North China region in 1937.

However, in the current era, Wang Tianmu's life trajectory has undergone subtle changes.

He did not achieve that level of success.

Ye Shaohong was also unclear about the origin of this change.

It is very likely that he, like a butterfly, traveled through time and, with the flapping of his wings, changed Wang Tianmu's fate.

However, it must be acknowledged that this person is indeed capable.

His ability to become one of the four top assassins of the Military Intelligence Bureau and Dai Yunong's absolute confidant speaks volumes about his capabilities.

From the moment Wang Tianmu made his move, Ye Shaohong's eyes were fixed on Wang Tianmu's hand.

To be precise, it fell into Wang Tianmu's hands, onto that short-lived steel brass knuckles.

The sharp dagger, the moment it struck the enemy's mouth, tore through the flesh of his face, silencing his cries and shattering his facial bones and teeth. This created an excellent opportunity for Ye Shaohong to enter the grand hotel.

By the time the second punch landed, Wang's bodyguard was already dead at Wang Tianmu's hands.

"quick!"

"Two people near the elevator on the first floor, and two people at the corner of the hallway!"

"The rest of you, come upstairs with me!"

Ye Shaohong informed the operatives following him of the location of the remaining enemy forces in the hotel lobby in the most concise way.

These matters naturally did not require Ye Shaohong to personally intervene.

He simply stepped forward.

Soon, gunshots rang out in the hotel lobby, indicating a life-or-death standoff between enemy and friendly forces.

Ye Shaohong simply didn't have time to pay attention.

At this moment, he had already arrived at the elevator door and led Li Yunlong, Chen Gongshu, Wang Tianmu, and a few others inside. The rest of the group exited via the stairs.

They were responsible for dealing with the enemy along the evacuation route.

There's no need to worry about the two teams not being able to meet; elevators in the Republic of China era weren't very fast.

What's even more problematic is that the elevator doesn't have a closed door.

It's just two pull-out iron railings.

And so, the elevator slowly rose.

When they reached the fifth floor, the elevator that Ye Shaohong and the others were in stopped.

Is it that they don't want to continue rising in status?

No.

The enemy had heard the gunfire downstairs, sensed the danger, and begun to retaliate.

The moment the elevator stopped, a gunshot rang out.

The fighting was as intense as popping beans. "Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Amidst the series of gunshots, Chen Gongshu was the first to be wounded, and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

But he did not back down and continued to fire his pistol.

In the fifth-floor corridor separated by two layers of iron railings, stood seven or eight of Wang's bodyguards, most of whom had already collapsed.

When the last shot rang out, Ye Shaohong frowned and put down his Browning M1910 pistol, his face turning pale.

At the last moment, Ye Shaohong was also injured.

Fortunately.

The two layers of iron railings helped them successfully stop some bullets.

Ye Shaohong only had a cut on his shoulder from an enemy bullet, from which crimson blood flowed. "I can't take the elevator anymore!"

"The enemy has noticed us; they're going up the stairs!"

Ye Shaohong's original plan was to strike quickly and catch the enemy off guard.

However, Wang's personal bodyguards were not easy to deal with.

Clearly, Ye Shaohong's plan failed.

He could only choose the second option.

At the entrance of the building, after gathering his team members, Ye Shaohong also abandoned his portable pistol.

He took over the light machine gun from his subordinates.

The group began to climb the steps.

Relaunch the attack.

This time, the upward attack became increasingly difficult, and people began to sacrifice themselves and die one after another.

They had only gone up one floor when four people collapsed to the ground.

His soul returned abroad, unable to be buried in his homeland.

But they no longer cared; faced with military orders, they had no choice but to continue fighting to the death.

Ye Shaohong was well aware that after the gunshots rang out inside the hotel, the enemies who had been lured away by Li Yunfei and his men would return as soon as possible.

At that time, they will be surrounded by the enemy.

Life and death hang in the balance.

"Use a grenade!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two consecutive explosions finally allowed them to break through the guards blocking their way and finally enter the seventh floor of the Hanoi Grand Hotel.

They also arrived at the floor where Xu Zhongyi had discovered that Wang and his group were located.

There are even more guards here.

Good guy.

Looking around, there were at least thirty or forty people.

These people weren't all Wang's personal guards; there were also other high-ranking officials and guards that Wang had taken with him.

The number of people far exceeded Ye Shaohong's expectations.

What troubled Ye Shaohong even more was that they also had light machine guns.

There might also be explosives.

Upon seeing this, Ye Shaohong's eyes immediately turned red.

He wanted to issue a do-or-die order without hesitation, but he also knew very well that there was no chance of success if he charged forward like that.

It's just that the enemy was too afraid of dying and had too many guards.

But it's obviously impossible to get him to leave like that.

In an instant, Ye Shaohong gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Grenade bombardment!"

"Let's test the waters and see what happens!"

This very probing action, the act of throwing a grenade, resulted in the loss of two more of his men.

Of course, the enemy also paid a considerable price.

A cacophony of piercing wails and agonizing screams filled the air.

However, there were still quite a few survivors in the stairwell, who were constantly rushing towards the entrance and firing their guns.

"withdraw!"

At the last moment, Ye Shaohong finally gave the order.

He knew that the operation had failed.

Some things started strong but ended weakly.

Did it really fail? Actually, no.

From the very beginning of the operation, Ye Shaohong never imagined that he could assassinate Wang in Hanoi.

From the very beginning, their operation was about sacrificing lives to give an explanation to the bigwigs at the top of the Nationalist government.

This will allow the world to see the government's attitude towards traitors and those who defect to the enemy.

Some people might think it's not worth it.

But when it comes to national interests, these things are not worth it. Even if it only earns a word in a diplomatic setting or a firm stance, it is still worth it.

Although they failed, they also succeeded.

Next, it's time to evacuate safely.

After they leave, the next encounter with Wang and his group will be a true life-or-death chase, a true deep-sea espionage battle...
