The station outside the south gate was built by the Japanese, so it was also under Japanese management, but the hired workers were all Chinese to work for them. Cheng Tianlei disguised himself as a porter and infiltrated the station with the other two porters.

The station was full of Japanese soldiers, busy carrying sandbags to build fortifications or carrying ammunition, and some of them were pulling the artillery that the train had just pulled to other places.

Cheng Tianlei and these people assisted the Japanese army in carrying sandbags, building fortifications and bunkers, and they could get half a silver horn a day, but they were usually exchanged for paper money.

"Hurry up, you pigs!" A Japanese overseer waved a whip and shouted loudly, and any of these workers who moved a little slower would be whipped.

Some workers expressed their dissatisfaction, either being dragged away by the Japanese soldiers and beaten severely, or being told that they could leave if they were unwilling to work, and in order to support their families, the workers could only swallow their anger and work hard.

Cheng Tianlei and these people naturally have no problem doing these jobs, and while he is working, he peeks around and memorizes the layout of the devil's position.

Because he was so distracted, Cheng Tianlei felt that he had been hit with a heavy butt on his back, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground.

The fire in his heart was up, and Cheng Tianlei jumped up from the ground, and he was about to give the devil who beat him a neck wrestling, but in the end, even if he reacted, the outstretched hand turned into grabbing the sandbag that fell on the ground.

The Japanese soldier took a domineering posture, brandished his rifle, and shouted, "Hurry up, you pigs, don't be lazy." ”

"Boy, I remember you, don't let me see you next time." Cheng Tianlei was secretly ruthless in his heart, remembering this short Japanese soldier.

The little Japanese soldier didn't know that he had been on the blacklist of Cheng Tianlei's must-kill, and he was still shouting with his teeth and claws, and that arrogant appearance made people want to give him a sole.

While Cheng Tianlei was working, he consciously moved closer to the artillery position, but his movements were very careful and did not let the Japanese notice.

At this time, one of the devil's field cannons was trapped in a pit, and they couldn't get it out, and a few devils who were responsible for pushing the cannon chattered and gestured towards this side, looking like they were asking the people here to help.

The Japanese overseer heard their shouts, so he pointed at them with his whip and said, "You guys, go over and help them." ”

Cheng Tianlei was waiting for this opportunity, he hurriedly came to the cannon with the workers, and then began to push the cannon.

The strength of the people was large, and a few workers and a few devils worked together to finally pull the cannon out of the pit, and then the group pushed the cannon towards the artillery position in the distance.

There are still several snow pits along the way, so those devils don't dare to let Cheng Tianlei and a few of them go back, otherwise they will have to help if they fall into it again.

In this way, Cheng Tianlei and the workers pushed the cannon until they walked out more than 100 meters, passed through a dense bush, and came to the artillery position in the back woods.

It used to be a poplar forest, but now the center has been cleared down and flattened into a large flat clearing, on which are lined with cannons that have been transported.

Cheng Tianlei's eyes swept over the cannons, and found a total of 12 mountain guns and 4 field guns, in addition to nine infantry guns, and in another corner there seemed to be a mortar position, with more than 20 mortars.

Just when Cheng Tianlei was paying attention to check the location where the devil's shells were stored, he was pushed by the devil, "Leave quickly." ”

A few people couldn't, so they had to turn around and walk in the direction they came. As soon as she had taken two steps, a Japanese officer with the rank of lieutenant came out of the tent, and she saw several workers at a glance, and her brow immediately furrowed.

"Stand still, you guys!" With a low shout, the Japanese officer stepped towards Cheng Tianlei and them, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers followed him with a wave of his hand.

Cheng Tianlei didn't look back, but he could still clearly hear the footsteps of the devil officer, his heart was beating wildly, and he understood that the devil must have some bad intentions, maybe he just wanted to kill people.

The artillery position is a military secret and needs to be strictly protected, and since these workers know the situation of the artillery position, the devil is naturally not worried about them leaving, so it is very likely that they will be poisoned.

Cheng Tianlei thought quickly in his heart, now is the time to make a choice, whether to fight hard, or bet on whether a devil will kill them.

If he fights hard, Cheng Tianlei is 100% sure that he will get out safely, but his own reconnaissance will also be exposed, and then the devil's artillery position is likely to be adjusted, or even change places, then his reconnaissance will be meaningless.

But if you don't resist, if the devil really wants to do it, then Cheng Tianlei will not be able to escape the poisonous hands.

What to do, what to do? Cheng Tianlei's brain was going to run at supersonic speed, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.

Pretending not to know anything, he turned his head, and several people looked at the devils, and one of them asked, "Taijun, is there something wrong with us?" ”

"You already know the secrets of our artillery positions, so we decided to leave you here for the time being, and then let you go." The devil officer looked serious and waved his hand behind him, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers immediately rushed up and escorted them into an empty tent, and then sent two Japanese soldiers at the door to take a look.

The workers looked at each other, wondering why they had such an encounter, was it still wrong to help others? Only Cheng Tianlei and a young man sat on the ground with a calm face.

It seems that he didn't expect that there would be someone who behaved the same as himself, Cheng Tianlei and that person glanced at each other, and then they both closed their eyes and didn't move.

A few workers talked a lot, and it took a while to quiet down, but it was obvious that most of them had no intention of resting, and stared at the door.

I don't know how long later, the tent door was opened, and a Japanese soldier walked in with a basket of nest heads, and in the other hand the box was pickles, and this was their dinner.

The laughter of the Japanese guards was heard outside the door, and a worker looked through the crack in the door to see two Japanese soldiers eating, but their food was canned beef and braised pork, four large white steamed buns, and a bottle of wine.

In the open space not far away, a Japanese soldier was feeding the dog with endless steamed buns, making the dog jump up and down, and the Japanese soldier laughed.

After reading it, the workers couldn't help but scold, "The little devil of the dog day really treats us as inappropriate."

Cheng Tianlei sat on the side of the tent, gently opened his eyes, looked at the young man, and saw that he also opened his eyes and looked at himself, so he grinned at him, "Brother, your surname?" ”

"My surname is Yan, Yan Jingyu!" The young man smiled and spoke, and the two of them leaned together and began to talk in a low voice.

As soon as he spoke, Cheng Tianlei learned that Yan Jingyu's parents died when he was a child, and he relied on an uncle to provide for Yenching University, but he was cynical, and was later expelled for criticizing current politics many times, and later lived in the Shanhaiguan area, living by part-time work.

This time, because I didn't have money for food, I went to the dock to work, but I didn't expect to meet this kind of thing!

Cheng Tianlei looked at him, his eyes blinked slyly, "Yes, I can't live anymore, so I can eat here." ”

Yan Jingyu smiled knowingly, and the two of them basically understood that the other party should be the same as their own purpose, so no one said anything.

The workers only thought that the two of them were chatting, so they didn't care, but one of them took two nests and a piece of pickles, and squatted in a corner to eat.

Cheng Tianlei took the two nest heads, came to Yan Jingyu, and asked in a low voice while eating, "Brother, what are your plans?" ”

"I guess the devil will have to kill us in the end, because it's really a hidden danger to keep us, and we have to spend people to guard us." Yan Jingyu said in a low voice, biting his head.

Cheng Tianlei said with deep agreement, "Yes, the devil will do it in a few nights, but it is estimated that he will not take them out all at once, it is likely that one or two will be taken out together." ”

Yan Jingyu said, "If the devil brings people out for a while, how about the two of us go together?" ”

"Okay!"

After eating, it was dark, and the devils in the tent hung a lantern, and the dim light shone on the faces full of fear.

Cheng Tianlei and Yan Jingyu leaned in the corner, closing their eyes to recuperate, waiting for a moment to act. Since the devils don't want them to live, then they're welcome.

According to Cheng Tianlei's plan, if he goes out for a while, he can easily end the devil's artillery position, and at least blow up the devil's ammunition depot, which will greatly weaken the devil's strength.

Just when all the people in the house were drowsy, the tent door was slammed open, and a cold wind blew in the face, making everyone in the house shiver.

Two Japanese soldiers walked in from outside carrying a 38 canopy, they looked at a few people in the room, and then pointed to the two workers and said, "You guys, follow me." ”

The two workers didn't know what was happening, so they got up in a daze, followed the two devil soldiers out of the tent door, and walked towards a wilderness to the west.

The tent door was locked again, and calm returned to the tent, but this time no one could sleep, and everyone was staring wide-eyed, waiting for the fate to come.

Cheng Tianlei and Yan Jingyu shrank in the innermost, but their eyes flashed with excitement.

About ten minutes later, the door creaked open, and the two Japanese soldiers walked in from outside the door and walked towards the group.

Cheng Tianlei smelled the smell of gunpowder between his snorts, and knew that the two guns should have just been fired, and it seemed that the two workers had been killed.

The two Japanese soldiers walked into the tent and stood still, looked at the remaining six workers, and then stretched out their hands and pointed, "You two, come with me." ”

The two workers knelt down for the devil with a puff and begged, "Taijun, we still have a large family to feed at home, please raise your noble hand." ”

"If you don't obey, you will die immediately!" The two devil soldiers glared, pulled the bolt of the 38 big cover in their hands, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the two workers.

Both workers were so frightened that their legs were weak and they couldn't stand up.

At this time, Cheng Tianlei and Yan Jingyu stood up from the corner and walked forward, "The two of us will go with you." ”
