Chapter 56: The Action Begins (2)

The fireworks were a signal of action, and just as Barbara was looking for an opportunity to release the hollow orb, Tang Cheng had already rushed out of the hidden place like an arrow and headed straight for the wooden watchtower on the side of the lone barracks. Tang Cheng's speed was very fast, and under the cover of night, it was completely impossible for the White Russian sentries on the wooden sentry tower to detect Tang Cheng's figure. The sudden appearance of fireworks attracted the attention of the White Russian sentries in the sentry tower, and it was not yet time for the changing of the guard, so the White Russian sentry in the wooden sentry tower could only be alone.

"Poof!" A burst of gunfire erupted in the night, and the White Russian soldiers in the sentry tower were shot before they could react. Tang Cheng was very confident in his marksmanship, and seeing that the sentry in the wooden tower had fallen on his back, Tang Cheng immediately turned around and ran towards the sentry tower in the other direction. The fireworks were in the air, and if Barbara, who was surrounded by the White Russian soldiers, had already begun to release smoke, there would really not be much time left for Tang City to clear the sentinels.

The ghostly Tang Cheng ran quickly between the several watchtowers around the lone camp, and his presence went unnoticed when the sentinels were focused on the ball. Xie Jinyuan in the barracks also noticed the sudden fireworks outside the camp, and he had already received a message from Huang Han, so he immediately ordered his officers and soldiers to drink the orange-red so-called sweet wine sent by Huang Han first, and then everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses with wet towels.

Xie Jinyuan They have sweet wine that can relieve the smoke, and they also cover their mouths and noses with wet towels in advance, and Barbara, who is mixed in at the dance scene, is not so lucky. One by one, the ignited hollow balls were scattered by Barbara and others in the White Russian army camp, and in just a few breaths, the place where these White Russian soldiers gathered was slowly enveloped in a slightly sweet pale white smoke. By the time Barbara found that her whole body was weak, the White Russian soldiers around her, who were already drunk, had already fallen to the ground.

White Russians love to drink, especially at parties, so it's not surprising that drunks appear. But if the whole ball scene was full of men and women who fell to the ground, it was not as simple as a few drunks, and when the British patrol who temporarily joined the ball found out that the situation was not good, they themselves could no longer control their bodies, and could only watch their companions fall to the ground one by one.

Barbara, the initiator, also inhaled smoke, so among these fallen people, just at the moment of falling to the ground, they saw Barbara who had fallen to the ground one after another, and the corners of her mouth were slowly blooming with a smile. If you want to go to the other side of the ocean to start a new life, you must pay a certain price, Barbara, who never believed that there is a free lunch in this world, was already prepared for this when she nodded and promised Tang Cheng.

When Tang Cheng, who was a little out of breath, returned to the main gate of the lonely army camp, several White Russian soldiers who were originally guarding the gate of the camp had already fallen to the ground due to inhaling smoke. Tang Cheng leaned over and removed the key to the gate from the waist of one of the White Russian soldiers, then opened the large iron lock on his own, and then pushed open the heavy camp gate. However, Tang Cheng only pushed open the camp gate, but he did not enter the camp, but took out three other fireworks from his equipment bag and inserted them on the ground outside the gate.

Three fireworks were launched into the air one after another, and after Xie Jinyuan, who was in the barracks, saw the fireworks, he immediately left the barracks to gather his officers and soldiers, and immediately rushed to the main gate of the camp. Edmund also saw the three fireworks, and under the guidance of Edmund and the others, the trucks that passed through Hans were all turned off their headlights, and slowly drove into the open space not far from the camp of the lonely army under the cover of night.

The officers and soldiers of the lone battalion were restricted from going out as soon as they entered this camp in Jiaozhou Park, and the White Russian soldiers who were often seen guarding them on weekdays were also watched. At this moment, when he suddenly saw those White Russian soldiers, all of them lying on the ground in a daze, the officers and soldiers under Xie Jinyuan were all amazed. "Go straight 200 meters from here, there will be a truck to take you away, and my people will take you all the way to the dock to board the boat and leave Shanghai."

Tang Cheng, who was standing outside the main gate of the camp, was still covered with his face, and there were deliberately padded things in his clothes, so that people could not see his true figure. Just pointed out the direction of Xie Jinyuan and the others next, Tang Cheng turned around and went to the dance scene full of people, Barbara and her friends, Tang Cheng didn't plan to keep them here. Seeing that Tang Cheng looked reluctant to say more, Xie Jinyuan, who understood in his heart, immediately led people out of the camp to find the pick-up vehicle arranged by Tang Cheng.

The lonely military camp in a hurry to leave Shanghai, naturally at this time, will not pay too much attention to it, the truck originally used to transport fresh groceries is not clean, but they still stuff the truck compartment full. In the truck compartment, which originally had a load capacity of only 2 tons, almost 40 people were forced into it by the officers and soldiers under Xie Jinyuan. The lone military camp of more than 300 people was transported by Edmund in seven trucks and five cars.

Although it was a little crowded, and they were strictly ordered not to make a sound when they got on the bus, the officers and soldiers of the lonely army camp who escaped were already very excited in their hearts. "Our task is just to escort you to the dock to board the ship, and someone on the dock will naturally arrange your next trip." Xie Jinyuan, who was arranged to sit in the car, didn't see Tang Cheng coming, so he asked Edmund, who was driving himself, but Edmund's answer was beyond Xie Jinyuan's expectations.

"He has other things to do, the Japanese, like the British, are keeping a close eye on the more than 300 people in your lonely barracks. We can use Christmas as an opportunity to get you out of the camp, but the Japanese are a bit of trouble on the side, after all, they are not Christmas. Therefore, he needs to go to the Japanese side to make some noise, at least to ensure that the Japanese side is busy tonight, and there is no time to pay attention to the accidents that occur on the camp side. ”

Edmund's answer surprised Xie Jinyuan, he didn't expect Tang Cheng to go to the Japanese tonight to do something. The rescue plan that Tang Cheng told Xie Jinyuan originally only included how to pick up the lone army camp and leave the camp and transport them to the dock to board the ship, but what Edmund told at this moment made Xie Jinyuan worried, but he knew that the Japanese were not easy to deal with.

"Your worries are simply unnecessary, he is different from you, as long as he wants, the Japanese in the whole of Shanghai will not be able to catch him. What's more, tonight's action was planned by him for a long time, and if you want to worry, you should also worry about the Japanese. "Edmund and they already know that the matter of the New Asia Hotel was done by Tang Cheng alone, and the always sharp Tegaoke knows that the murderer has not been found now, let alone knows Tang Cheng's identity, so Edmund is very confident in saying this at this moment.

When Edmund and Xie Jinyuan were talking in a low voice, Tang Cheng had already loaded Barbara, who had inhaled the smoke, into the truck bed that had been used to transport the drinks one by one. Inserting a blue incense stick in the carriage and lighting it, Barbara and the others, who were originally weak, quickly regained control of their bodies. "I'll send you away now, someone will take over and drive you to the dock in a while, and in 2 hours, there will be a cargo ship going south** to send you there**, and then you can change ships from ** to the United States."

Seeing that Barbara and the others were gradually waking up, when Tang Cheng closed the tailgate of the carriage, he threw a leather bag full of banknotes into the carriage, even if it was a compensation for Barbara's inhalation. The plan steps to rescue the lone army camp have already been repeatedly deduced by Tang Cheng many times, and after Edmund and them joined, they helped Tang Cheng to check and fill in the gaps, so once the rescue operation began, even Tang Cheng could not temporarily change the action steps.

However, facts have proved that the action steps that Tang Cheng and they have repeatedly deduced can indeed stand the test. With the gold bars and dollars that Tang Cheng had taken out in advance, the officers and foreign inspectors guarding the important checkpoints had been bought by Edmund and them, and the trucks full of officers and soldiers of the lone barracks had not been stopped or inspected when they passed through these checkpoints. Xie Jinyuan and the others, escorted by Edmund and them, finally appeared on the dock without danger, and when they saw his wife, children and Tan Wensong, Xie Jinyuan, who was worried all the way, finally put his mind at ease.

According to the prior discussion between Tang Cheng and Tan Wensong, Tang Cheng was only responsible for rescuing the lone army and sending it to the dock to board the ship, and then the affairs of the lone army camp would be handled by Tan Wensong with the secret order of the upper peak. Tan Wensong took the order of Shangfeng, Xie Jinyuan knew from the first day he came into contact with Tan Wensong, and when he saw Tan Wensong also appear on the dock at this moment, Xie Jinyuan really understood that the lonely army camp was saved.

The officers and men of the lone battalion who rushed to the dock immediately boarded the ship, but they did not immediately go south by sea, but rushed to the open sea first as planned to meet another American merchant ship. When Xie Jinyuan stood on the deck of the cargo ship and looked back at Shanghai, Tang Cheng had already exchanged places with the driver who came to pick him up, and he was about to rush to the next place after seeing the truck leave. According to the plan, he will also carry out a raid on two other Japanese trading houses in the concession tonight.

On the one hand, the raid on the Japanese trading houses can continue to use the identity of the Korean National Salvation Army to create incidents, so as to attract the attention of the Japanese army in Shanghai and the special high-tech department. On the other hand, because Tang Cheng was already shy in his pocket, in order to rescue the lonely army camp, Tang Cheng almost spent the last dollar in his pocket. Most of the wealth in the hands of the Japanese in China came from robbing the Chinese and robbing the money of Japanese trading houses, and Tang Cheng did not have any sense of guilt at all.
