Same source.

From: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stor ... 3382.shtml
Many Japanese soldiers and their officers were assassinated by the Chinese underground, so at the end of every street there was a barbed wire barricade ready to close off any street to stop assassins escaping, but very few got caught.

I remember after he shot a Japanese Officer, an assassin ran into a huge apartment block, mainly European occupants. The Japanese gave chase, locked up the whole area, and emptied all the occupants at 8.00am into an adjacent park - still in their night clothes! Which was very humiliating for the Europeans, but the assasin had got away somehow.

So many Japanese sentrys were being shot that they had to put steel plates and sand bags around the sentry boxes.
