074 Belarus
At four o'clock in the morning, the iron door of the row of warehouses at the east gate of the French Park quietly opened, and four trucks covered with tarpaulins drove out from inside and drove north along Luban Road.
When they arrived at the Fuxi intersection, they divided the left and right things, and drove in two directions in the night.
The two trucks heading in the direction of the pier to the east were a group of men led by Alyosha. Sitting in the cab at the moment is also Lao Ren in a pocket tights.
Originally, Lao Ren did not participate in this kind of mission. Even if the attack on the Green Gang in the past few years was Alyosha and they charged ahead, and he led the patrol behind.
Usually after Alyosha and the others retreated, he and Lao Hong, who was still in Shanghai at the time, led patrols and arrests, and then arrested the remnants of the Green Gang in the name of breeding trouble.
Under such a double blow, the Green Gang had almost no room for resistance in the French Concession, and they were quickly wiped out. Even if he was lucky, he withdrew from the French Concession with a good understanding.
It can be said that at that time, they were indeed the legendary collusion of officials and bandits. The leader of the Green Gang once thought that the White Russian gang had completely bought the concession and captured the house, so he entrusted a lot of connections up and down.
The operation was tactically well prepared.
It's just that these White Russians, although everyone can understand Chinese, but if they speak Chinese, they will have a strong foreign accent when they hear it.
Even a second-generation immigrant like Sasha who was born in Shanghai. The Chinese words spoken are also mixed with obvious foreign accents.
In this way, it is easy to reveal flaws when it is necessary to negotiate. Once it is suspected of the involvement of Belarusians, sooner or later it will be found in the mansion. Although there is no shortage of manpower on Pusu's side now, there is indeed a lack of Chinese compatriots.
Today, the two teams have a total of fifty members, which is actually less than half of the total number in the mansion.
He really has no shortage of manpower. But there are no other Chinese available besides him, and this is a problem that cannot be avoided.
Before, when Gu Ji was there, it was relatively better, but now that the senior is gone, there is no one available except Lao Ren.
As for the agents under Lao Ren, it is okay to arrange a random reason for them to go out to investigate. The real purpose also needs to be absolutely concealed, let alone let them participate in the operation.
So after Lao Ren learned of the situation, he hesitated for a while and then took the initiative to participate in the action. He will come forward when he needs to speak.
As a last resort, Pu Su will definitely not allow all of them to be wiped out.
Many of the people who helped unload the goods on the dock were actually coolies hired by the Green Gang.
Lao Ren has some language talent. His own surname is Yang, a native of northern Jiangsu, and he was adopted to Shanghai since he was a child. Therefore, Northern Jiangsu dialect and Shanghainese dialect can be seamlessly switched at any time, and I know a little bit of English and French.
If you don't know French, you will never be able to work in the French Concession. He usually taught himself, and borrowed Gu Ji's face to send the child to the French school. Usually, the child went home and worked as a teacher for him, and learned a lot of French.
Before the operation, he said that he would speak Northern Jiangsu dialect throughout the whole night to hide his true identity. And the scene opened with "the spicy block mother does not bloom, as soon as it opens, it will bloom a big red flower...... demonstrating the skills of northern Jiangsu.
It seems that Lao Ren is unaware of the obvious danger of this operation, but instead looks like a ticket holder making a cameo.
In fact, Pu Su knows that Lao Ren has never been a bold person. But he is very face-saving, if he shrinks in this kind of thing, his future cowhide will not be easy to blow.
And he has a mysterious confidence in Alyosha's force value. I don't even know much about how many catties and taels Pu Su has, and I don't want to know much.
I'm afraid that in his mind, Pu Su, who is not amazing, and Alyosha, who is fierce and iron-blooded, cannot be compared at all.
He had told Pu Su before that he had seen Alyosha alone surrounded by them, still in the room with a Bergman submachine gun and violently counterattacking, killing and wounding several brothers in the patrol room.
In the end, Gu Ji hung upside down from under the eaves and shot him seriously from the window.
Of course, Pu Su won't say anything to Lao Ren.
In fact, in his opinion, Alyosha was not only a good fighter, but also had the qualities of a commander. He now knew that part of the mansion was White Russian, and even the remnants of Tsarist Russia who had fled to him from Siberia.
Not all of these White Russians in the mansion gathered together after they were exiled to Shanghai.
Some of the team members were brothers-in-arms during the Tsarist period in Russia. After Alyosha decided to stay in Shanghai, some of his team members came to Shanghai from Siberia to join him.
In general, the mansion now houses a concentration of White Russians living in the French Concession, mostly with military backgrounds.
Other groups of White Russians living in the French Concession, some of whom were merchants, operated a variety of businesses in the vicinity of Xiafei Road. In addition, there is a considerable proportion of artists who have arrived in Shanghai to teach classical music and Western literature to their students, and even have world-class ballet teachers.
Much of the real estate that Lao Ren now holds is leased to these Belarusian merchants and artists, who use it to set up shops or classrooms.
And most of the remaining White Russians, who did not have any skills, were defeated by Tsarist Russia.
Some of them were ruffians under the boss of the White Russian gangsters before, and they did not do anything good in Shanghai. Especially at the instigation of the gang boss in front of him, he specializes in bullying and blackmailing their own compatriots.
Most of these people were almost wiped out by Japanese spies and our Shanghai underground party in the poison gas and gold cases of that year (see Isolated Island for details), and the number of remaining people is very small.
For example, Pu Su's neighbor and the scar are one of the lucky ones. Until now, Scar was still trembling and respectful when he saw Lao Ren, obviously Lao Ren made him suffer a lot at the beginning.
The other group of personnel was composed of mercenaries brought directly by the deceased Molotov from the International Merchant Group.
These people, like Molokov, had a strong belief in returning to their homeland. It's just that with the passage of time, in the face of the reality of being unable to resist, they finally chose to give up and came to the French Concession with Molokov.
This group is represented by Andre and Magee. Both of them used to be professional soldiers in the International Chamber of Commerce in the Public Concession, and they knew the internal situation of the Ministry of Industry very well.
The last group were Alyosha and Molokov's comrades-in-arms.
At that time, Alyosha still insisted on taking a group of team members around the guerrilla war in Russia, and finally came to Shanghai because of the transportation of gold. After all kinds of changes, he decided to settle in Shanghai, so he managed to contact the old brothers and gather them here.
In this special training, Pu Su gave Alyosha a total of ten places. In addition to Scar, there are Andre and Maggie, as well as three young men. The remaining four places were all selected from this group.
It is worth mentioning that these four people are all sharpshooters who have pierced through Yang in a hundred steps. Throw them a Mosin Nagant and never miss a shot within 400 meters, and if they are equipped with an optical sight, they can be guaranteed to miss a bullet from a distance of 100 meters.
In fact, there was no way to limit the number of people to 10 before. Considering the actual size of the courtyard next door, and the fact that it is located on a lot like La Field, the space there can only accept a maximum of ten places.
It's just that this problem doesn't exist anymore.
This group of graduates can act as instructors in the mansion when they have no tasks, and train the remaining team members in batches.
I don't know how much better the training conditions there are than the current courtyard.
