At 8:43 p.m. on July 28, the drizzle became more and more dense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two groups of sentries guarding the upper and lower piers of the fourth pier scolded and scolded, and Xu Maofu, who was hidden in the shadows above the dock, began to dispatch with three elites, and quietly touched the back of the side of the sentry post and suddenly launched, eight big hands covered their mouths and locked their throats, and they were quickly tied.

Before the two sentries could snort, they were carried into the depths of a pile of cargo behind them and hidden, while the other two guards platoon brothers stood on their posts, looking around vigilantly.

Zheng Yi soon led a group of more than a dozen brothers to the underside of the brightly lit dock, and under the surprised gaze of the two sentinels, they generously faced each other.

As the distance got closer, the two sentries realized that it was not good and immediately unloaded the Hanyang rifles on their shoulders, but Zheng Yi's brothers moved faster than them, and the two sentries had not yet finished their guns, and the four Browning pistols were already on their heads.

"Don't move, we are a guard regiment directly under the Military Commission, and we suspect that you have colluded with the Communist Party, so we have tied you up!"

Before Zheng Yi could finish speaking, several brothers rushed up and pressed the two unlucky sentries to the ground, and in less than half a minute, they were tied into two zongzi and stuffed into a sentry post made of wooden boards, so that the dock workers who were unloading the goods not far away were stunned.

Before the people on and off the boat could react, Zheng Yi and more than a dozen brothers had already divided into two groups, shouting "search for the Communist Party" while rushing towards the two boats that were moored in a row.

Xu Maofu on the dock soon led dozens of brothers to ride horses, surrounded the chaotic dock workers and port personnel, and soon took control of the two cargo ships and all the personnel.

With Zheng Yi's order, all the dock workers and port personnel were caught up on the "Hujiang" cargo ship, which had unloaded most of the cargo, and Xu Maofu led a class of brothers to rush to the side of the "Xinzhou" cargo ship, and under the horrified gaze of the captain and eight crew members, they set up four large gangplanks and led more than 50 war horses onto the cargo ship.

Xu Maofu, who was the first to board the ship, took out a Colt pistol and shook it, and said very politely to the captain and crew:

"Don't be afraid, your ship has been requisitioned by the guard regiment directly under the Central Committee, the Military Commission, don't try to resist, otherwise I have the right to kill you on the spot, as for your losses, the government will compensate you for your ...... Okay, let's go sail and follow the 'Hujiang' in front." ”

In less than ten minutes, the "Hujiang" and "Xinzhou" sailed away from the dock, went upstream, and headed for the upstream Baisha Wharf, Zheng Yi sat in the cockpit of the "Hujiang" full of peculiar smells, and asked the middle-aged captain who calmed down kindly: "Your ship is built by Jiangnan Factory, right?" Which type of diesel unit is installed? ”

The captain hurriedly replied: "There are two Deutz units made in the United States, with a maximum power of 880 horsepower...... Sir, you know that, too? ”

Zheng Yi nodded: "Before joining the army, I worked in a shipyard and repaired several marine diesel engines. ”

The captain was stunned, thought about it and asked, "Sir, how long are you going to requisition our ship?" Where are you going? ”

Zheng Yi smiled: "Don't worry, you'll know later, in addition to requisitioning your two ships, the two 400-ton cargo ships on the side of Baisha Wharf will also be requisitioned, and you will understand when you get to Baisha Wharf." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you do what I order, no one will hurt you, and when the matter is done, we will respectfully send you away, and we will also pay you and all the crew a hundred oceans of hard work each."

……

……

At 9:45, six kilometers south of Wuchang, Baisha Wharf.

As soon as the drizzle stopped, the waves crashed on the shore, and the Baisha Wharf was brightly lit and busy, the officers and men of the two battalions that had set up the main battalion of the military station in the name of night training were already soaking wet, and they were still loading boxes of ammunition and supplies onto two old 400-ton steam cargo ships.

Han Shouren, deputy commander of the regiment, and Zhao Jingting, commander of the third battalion, stood on the earthen bag above the wharf, constantly looking for boats from the downstream direction, and eagerly rowed a small boat to the Hankou wharf to see what was going on.

"His uncle, this ghost weather, after the rain, the river is confused, and you can't see anything clearly from a hundred meters away." Han Shouren complained in a low voice.

Zhao Jingting was just about to sarcastically say two sentences, when he suddenly saw the faint night sailing lights on the river, and after a while, the outlines of two cargo ships appeared in the mist, Zhao Jingting didn't have to think about it, he knew what was going on with the two ships that deviated from the main channel and came slowly, and his spirits were greatly lifted:

"It's coming, it's coming! Two big ships, the boss must have borrowed the boat from his eldest brother, it's almost ten o'clock, it's still on time, haha! ”

A few minutes later, two large cargo ships were moored in the waters off the pier.

Zheng Yi took the boat that was lowered on the boat, quickly landed on the shore, and when he saw the excited Han Shouren and Zhao Jingting, the first thing he said was to ask about the situation in the camp.

Han Shouren hurriedly replied: "That guy Li Zhao didn't come as you ordered, he quietly transferred back to the spy company that was secretly on guard, set up a banquet under the pretext of celebrating his birthday, and invited Chief Xu Zhilin and several unit chiefs to come, saying that you went into the city to buy congratulatory gifts and came back later, and then partnered with Dong Zongzhuo and Li Lianshan to get Chief Xu Zhilin and them drunk." ”

"The brothers at the garrison camp are accustomed to seeing that we often conduct night training, and there has been no change so far, but in a few more hours they will not be able to guarantee it."

Zheng Yi nodded: "Shouren, you and the second battalion commander Li Feng stayed and watched, sent two platoons of brothers on board, and the Communist Party members took the lead to replace the guard platoon led by Xu Maofu to monitor the crew, and closely guard the people on the ship!" ”

"Lao Zhao, you and I return to the camp, your machine gun battalion has a lot of belongings, you need to rush to the dock immediately to load the ship, and board the largest 'Hujiang' cargo ship as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Han Shouren replied in a deep voice.

Zhao Jingting followed Zheng Yi to a group of war horses, the two of them picked one at random, raised their legs, beat the horses around the neatly stacked materials, and quickly rushed back to the military station camp two kilometers to the west.

……

……

At 11:35 p.m., Hankou Port Pier No. 4.

The sound of footsteps and shouts on the wet dock was endless, and after more than ten minutes of intense searching, hundreds of officers and men of the Eighth Army who hurriedly ran over finally found the two missing sentries in the cargo pile.

The staff officers of the division headquarters who rushed to investigate were so angry that they puffed up with the two unlucky men who were confused and didn't know anything, and they went up and slapped them and kicked them over the two unlucky ones, turned over their horses, and rushed back to the division headquarters in the customs building.

Li Pinxian, the division commander who was called back at the wine table, was losing his temper at the two regiment commanders, blaming their subordinates for being paralyzed and careless, when the wet division staff officer hurriedly walked in:

"The missing sentry was found, and he was tied up like a dumpling and stuffed into a pile of goods, and he asked them if they didn't know anything, and they didn't even see the face of the sneak attacker clearly.

Li Pinxian helped her tortoiseshell glasses: "You say, could it be the Communist Party that did it?" ”

"It is very likely that we have arrested many Communists during this period, and there are no less than 50 Communists in each regiment who have been publicly shot. They can't do anything to us in the open, so they can only come in the dark. The stocky regimental commander immediately voiced his guess.

When the young division staff officer saw Li Pinxian looking at him, he immediately expressed his opinion: "Now no matter who did it, we must report it to the police in a timely manner, and at the same time contact the guard regiment of the military committee and explain the matter, after all, a 1,000-ton ship has been robbed, and no matter who does it, it is a big deal." ”

Li Pinxian nodded slightly: "Staff Officer Tang, you are responsible for contacting the Military Guard Corps, and I will report to the adjutant of the headquarters, alas!" Jun Zao was holding a meeting with Chairman Wang with Feng Huanzhang and the peacemakers sent by the Shanghai Fathers, and at this time, how dare I bother him with this little thing, and it will not look good to say it......
