Chapter Seventy-Six: Night Battle in Springs City I
In the evening, outside the spring city, the green gauze tent.
The gates of the city not far away were wide open, and there were no Japanese troops to guard them. But there were no people who came and went freely.
"Is it withdrawn?" Not seeing the Japanese, many fighters were happy, and not having to fight was their greatest wish now.
But the more times like this, the more careless you can't be careless.
"You have to go into the city and ask about the situation, it's so wrong." Liu Dashan said in a low voice, "Maybe it's an empty city plan." ”
In the team, there were only four people wearing civilian clothes: Zhu Ge, Wugong, Li Yu, and Wang Chuanxiong.
"I'll go, I'm familiar with this place." Li Yu took the initiative to ask.
Spring City is where he usually picks up goods, and spends half of the year here, and he has set foot in every place in the city.
"I'll go with you, so I can take care of you." Wang Chuanxiong was not at ease.
"Don't go, I'll go." Wu Gong got up.
Liu Dashan handed Wu Gong a signal flare, and after the US planes finished bombing at dawn tomorrow, they will release the signal flares, and the team will go straight to the pier.
Speaking of which, if he went, he might have been able to take care of it better.
Zhu Ge grabbed the martial arts and took a deep look.
Wu Gong nodded slightly and left with Li Yu.
"It's going to be a tough night." Wang Chuanxiong looked at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away and sighed.
Li Yu and Wu Gong successfully entered the city gate, but there were not many people on the streets.
The two walked along the main street into a wide alley with a pharmacy at the entrance.
"Is the boss there?" Li Yu shouted inside.
A guy poked his head out of the back room, saw that it was Li Yu, and immediately ran out and pulled the person in.
"Boss Li! Why did you get into town at this time? The shopkeeper of the pharmacy came out to greet Li Yu, looking very nervous.
"What's wrong?" Li Yu is strange.
The pharmacy shopkeeper glanced at Wu Gong and pulled Li Yu to say something in his ear.
Wu Gong saw Li Yu's face immediately change.
"Are you sure?" He asked in surprise.
The boss nodded like pounded garlic.
"Sure, I drove the car along the street at noon today to play that loudspeaker, saying that it was disobedient, and I saw one and kill the other."
"So that's the case, I just came to see if you are short of medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and it's not too early for you to look at the sky, I may have to stay with you today." Li Yu planned to settle in the city first and then make plans.
"That's fine, but you have to trust me, stay in the house honestly, if something happens, I can't afford to take care of the old man!"
"Don't worry."
In the guest room in the backyard of the pharmacy, Li Yu had a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" If you don't talk about martial arts, you will be suffocated to death by him.
"The devil released the news that after the sun sets, everyone is not allowed to go out, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." Fortunately, they dared to enter the city at the last time.
"Why?" Wu Wu was puzzled.
"Said it was going to transfer the dock supplies tonight."
Tonight! The US military plane will only arrive tomorrow morning, and all plans will be frustrated to transfer supplies tonight.
Wait a minute! Do you need to deliberately release information about the transfer of materials?
"Could it be a pit?" Martial arts questioning.
Li Yu has also been thinking about this question.
If you want to transfer supplies, you will definitely be afraid that someone will intercept or sneak attack, why should the devil deliberately release the news.
But what if you warn you just for fear that someone will cause trouble?
It seems that tonight is destined to be sleepless.
"Whether it's a pit or not, we'll know after dark, if the devil really transfers the medicine at night, we can only grab it." Li Yu worried, "This medicine is mine, in case it is sent to the enemy's battlefield, then I will be a sinner." ”
Hearing Li Yu's words, Wu Gong was a little surprised.
I didn't expect that the person who seemed to be hanging out of the country was so thoughtful.
After nightfall, the sky is overcast, dark clouds gather over Quancheng, the mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, and the wooden windows are squeaked by the wind.
The person who seemed to be sleeping in the bed suddenly got up.
Wu Gong sat by the window with a headache, and when he saw Li Yu get out of bed, he knew that the time was almost up.
"It's going to rain." Li Yu looked at the cloudy night sky.
"You have to go out and have a look, let's go."
The two of them left the house lightly, went out the back door, and came to an alley.
The sound of the whirring wind hid the footsteps, and the raindrops the size of beans fell on the two of them.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, wiped his face, and thought that Dr. Wang in the crops outside the city was drenched in the rain, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Bear with it, who let them do big things.
Just as he was about to go out of the alley, Wu Gong grabbed him behind him.
Not far ahead, a team of patrolling devils was approaching.
Wu Gong and Li Yu hid against the wall in the dark, holding their breath and concentrating, and only when the other party walked away did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Passing through two alleys, there's the dock." Li Yu whispered, "Let's see it clearly in a while, if we really want to pull that batch of medicine away, we will immediately release the signal flare!" ”
If the flare is released, the people outside will definitely rush in, and Zhu Ge is unarmed......
No way! Wugong decided to improvise.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Wu Gong followed Li Yu to turn left and right in the alley, and finally saw a light appear in front of him.
"That's the dock." The two hid at the entrance of the alley, and Li Yu pointed to the front and said.
Through the rain curtain, Wu Gong saw the situation on the dock clearly.
At least a few hundred people are gathered here, coming and going, and indeed carrying things to and from several large carts.
"Flares." Li Yu was in a hurry.
The signal flare was in Wu Gong's arms, and he didn't move.
"Wait." Now is not the time.
They came for the medicine, and if the medicine was taken away, then the people outside the city would not have to venture in, just lay an ambush outside.
"Wait a little longer and you'll be transported away!" Li Yu glared at the martial arts, if the medicine was transported away, not to mention how big his loss was, how many devils he saved, and how many compatriots they could kill if they went to the battlefield again!
"Is there a ship?" Wu Gong saw that on the east side of the dock, another group of people was carrying things to the ship, and in comparison, those things were very tightly wrapped, and at a glance he knew that they were much more valuable than the boxes that were casually thrown into the carriage.
At this juncture, what is more valuable than medicines and weapons and ammunition?
"What's on the car is fake, what's on the ship is real." Martial arts are confirmed.
Li Yu was shocked, he could still grab it in the car, but once the things were on the boat, he couldn't chase them back.
"What should I do?"
"Is there any other way to get to the boat?" Wu Gong looks around his surroundings.
Li Yu thought about it, the only way is the moat.
"The moat leads to the Izumi River, but the water is very deep, and I don't recommend taking the waterway, it's too dangerous."
"Lead the way." Wugong did not hesitate.
"I can't swim!" Li Yu was in a hurry, Wugong went alone, he must not be at ease, but he couldn't swim, how to follow him?
The two of them followed the path to the moat, and in the darkness the river was like ink, which showed that it had a certain depth, and it was raining, and the water level rose, and the water was much more turbulent than usual.
"You can't go, it's too dangerous!" In case something happens, how will he explain to Mr. Zhu Ge.
Wu Gong kicked the flare into Li Yu's arms. He took out two of his pistols and gave them to him for safekeeping.
"It's raining so hard, the foreign devil's plane is estimated to be unable to come, you go back to the place just now, observe the movement of the dock at any time, and after an hour, release a signal flare."
As soon as the words fell, Wu Gong jumped into the water and sank into the water.
"Hey...... you just jumped off?"
There was not even a figure for a long time, and Li Yu's heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
In the middle of the night, more than ten meters away, Wu Gong poked his head out of the water, and immediately dived into the water a few seconds later.
He's ventilating!
Li Yu had to admire the martial arts, he put the signal in his clothes, tightened his coat, and returned along the way he came.
The people hid in their fields, drenched in the rain.
There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and Zhu Ge was uneasy.
I haven't been back for so long, and there is no movement in the city, so it can't be that something happened, right?
Wang Chuanxiong was even more restless, walking around in the mud, worried.
"Don't worry, it'll be dawn in three hours." Liu Dashan naturally knew the relationship between Zhu Ge and martial arts, and seeing that he was so anxious, he could only comfort him with words.
People outside the city are anxious, but people in the city are anxious.
Li Yu hid at the mouth of the alley and watched for a long time, there was nothing abnormal over there, those who should move things still moved things, and those who should be alert were still on guard.
After all, it was raining so heavily, the water was deep and cold, no matter how powerful the martial arts were, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to arrive so soon, seeing that things were getting less and less, Li Yu was anxious, an hour, what if he didn't get there?
The rain was heavy, the water was urgent, and Wugong went down the river and soon arrived at the pier.
He poked his head out, he breathed in the fresh air, and not far away was the exit of the dock, and he had to sink deeper to avoid the enemy patrols on the shore.
He saw five boats connected by chains, docked on the shore, the things on the boats seemed to have been loaded, covered with oiled paper cloth, probably too heavy to sail, most of the people went ashore to help load the things to the trucks, and a few stood facing the boats, responsible for guarding.
Wu Gong took a deep breath and dived into the water again, he relaxed his body, quickly sank, and dived towards the dock.
Between the pier and the river bank is a half-bridge that extends into the water and is supported by wood.
Wu Gong estimated the distance and appeared accurately at the bottom of the bridge.
The ship is in sight.
He plunged his arm into the water, drew a dagger from his boot, and sliced through the oiled paper cloth on the nearest ship.
Sure enough, these are the medicines that are really going to be transferred, and the trucks above are just a façade.
The little devil is really cunning!
Wu Gong bit the dagger in his mouth, and slowly looked at the goods on the five boats one by one against the riverbank, all of which were medicines.
One end of the chain was fastened to the feet of the devil on the shore, and the other end was tied to the stern of the middle boat.
Under the impact of the river, the iron chain regularly beats the riverbed made of bluestone slabs, making a "bell" sound.
As long as the chain is removed, the people on the shore will definitely find it.
Wu Gong was trying to figure out a way, when suddenly a gust of wind blew a big wave and slapped him into the water.
The water on the bank was already shallower than the middle of the river, and after a sudden martial effort, he was photographed at the bottom of the river, and after rolling several times, he finally grabbed the stone at the bottom of the river and stopped.
He steadied himself and opened his eyes, and saw a lot of white bones piling up at the bottom of the river.
You don't have to think about it to know that the little devil must have killed the dock porter and dumped the corpse to feed the fish here!
Wu Gong half climbed and half swam over, and his eyes lit up!
These bones are tied with thick hemp ropes!
