Chapter 342: Kazan Gold (6)
While Shirka and Vasily were leading the men to seize the bank, Nils walked into the train station as usual. The heavily guarded train station is like his home, allowing him to come and go freely.
"Comrade Sidenov, now please cooperate with us in the examination."
This time, however, Nils walked into the station and was stopped by the guards. Seeing that the other station staff were treated like this, Nils also spread his hands generously.
"Then please check."
Then he continued to ask nonchalantly, "Peter, is there a big man at the station today?"
In the face of Nils's words, Peter, the guard who was scrupulously examining him, spoke: "I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, it's a mistake. ”
After the inspection, no suspicious items were found, only a small alarm clock in his hand, and the guards naturally let him in.
The other workers who had been inspected also greeted Nils when they saw him walk in.
"Kidnov, morning."
"Ivan, you're early, too."
"Sidenov, don't you feel troublesome to get an alarm clock every day?"
"I'm used to it, I can't forget it."
Nils greeted his co-workers all the way, passed through the patrolling soldiers, and finally came to his own post.
That's right, Nils is an indispensable wrench worker at every station, specializing in connecting the tracks in and out of the train board.
Nils walked slowly into the workshop next to the railway tracks of the station, changed into his uniform, and put the alarm clock into his work bag, which also included the tools he usually used, such as the inverted pole.
At this time, when he looked up and saw that there was no one, he took out a black iron box from his cabinet. When he lifted the lid, he saw a mess of parts, wires, and batteries, and a book underneath. Nils carefully opened the book, revealing several detonators and explosives at the bottom of the iron box.
He took out the detonator and explosives, tied them together, and attached wires to the detonator. Then he took out the battery and connected it to the wire at one end, and connected it to the ringing wheel with the back cover removed and his inseparable alarm clock at the other. It is then bundled with the explosives planted with a detonator, and a simple time bomb is ready.
Seeing the work made in a few minutes, Nils laughed at himself: "Fortunately, the craftsmanship is not rusty." ”
After putting it together, Nils closed his cabinet and walked out of the workshop.
Then came the moment to unleash the power of the little guy, Nils already had a target, he knew that there were still some ammunition stored in the warehouse, this was a great target to cause chaos and the movement was definitely big enough.
Nils walked slowly towards the station's warehouse. There were many soldiers patrolling back and forth along the way, but he was not nervous at all, and even greeted the soldiers he knew.
Just as he was about to reach the warehouse, a shrill whistle sounded from inside the station, and a group of soldiers ran out, and they stood guard by the nearest railroad tracks near the warehouse.
Nils took the opportunity to retreat to the edge of the warehouse, sharpening his ears to listen to the officers leading the team, trying to find the most useful information for him.
"Alert, the train is coming soon, no one else is allowed to approach."
The words of the leading officer gave Nils a lot of useful information. There is a train to stop at the station, and it is quite important, and there are no doctors and nurses who are not transporting wounded soldiers. Stopping at the warehouse without stopping, it looks like it's going to deliver important supplies. Through the look of a group of waiting soldiers standing next to the warehouse, Nils was sure that this was going to be moved to the warehouse for temporary storage.
Nils analyzed it and felt that this was his chance, so he retreated to an unoccupied corner, quietly took out the prepared time bomb from his kit, and inserted it into his waist, the slightly fluffy station uniform completely covering the bomb on his waist. When he was ready, Nils stepped aside and waited for his chance.
Within two minutes, a train still spewing steam docked on the railroad tracks, which were guarded by soldiers. Canvas-covered materials were abundantly placed on the flatbed wagons, and there were even uncovered artillery and ammunition boxes in the tail. At this time, the transport soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward to carry them, and Nils observed the good time to plant the time bomb.
After nearly ten minutes of observation, Nils saw a good opportunity. It turned out that many of the materials carried at this time were quilts to keep out the cold at night, and these were trapped into large packages. And when the two teams of transport soldiers blocked the view from a corner, Nils quickly stepped forward and took out the time bomb from his waist, set the time, and stuffed it into the large bag of quilt that fell on the back of the last transport soldier, and even at this time he still had time to cover up the traces of the insertion.
Then he pretended to pass by and left quietly, and the soldier with the quilt on his shoulders did not notice the goods and was unmoved. Carried directly to the side of the warehouse where the ammunition was placed, unloaded the cargo on the shoulder. Then, panting, he began to carry it again and again.
Nils, who had done all this, returned to the workshop and changed his clothes, and quietly left the train station on the grounds that he had an old problem with his waist under the concerned inquiry of his co-workers. And at this time, the small alarm clock that was placed on the time bomb in the quilt was five minutes away from ringing the alarm.
Five minutes later, a loud explosion sounded from the station's warehouse, and the ammunition stored in the warehouse was detonated by a time bomb placed by Niels. The blast of the explosion reduced the warehouse to powder, and at the same time triggered ammunition on a nearby train, and the successive explosions even threw a cannon high and the barrel of the cannon fell to the station building. The Russian soldiers who were carrying and guarding suffered heavy casualties.
The Soviet Russian commander, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, said to the frightened and motionless staff officer next to him in a trembling voice: "Call Comrade Mozhilov and inform him that there was an explosion at the station, and the possibility of enemy spies cannot be ruled out. ”
The staff officer, who was disturbed by the commander's order, immediately hurried to make a phone call like a rabbit chasing by a man.
And the fact did not need them to call, the explosion at the railway station had already spread throughout the city of Kazan, and Mozhilov, as the commander, immediately asked people to inspect where the explosion was made. When he learned that it was an explosion at the railway station, Mozhilov chuckled inwardly, and immediately ordered the army to stop collecting supplies, give priority to the protection of key points such as the station, the dock, and the city government, and at the same time order martial law.
But before his orders could reach the army, explosions rang out in other parts of the city. And these successive explosions made him make a wrong judgment.
"Immediately send troops to protect the railways, docks, bridges and tunnels, and there must be no lapse in the lines of communication."
Looking at the anxious Comrade Mozhilov, the staff officer hurried to give the order in three steps and two steps.
Inside the Kazan Reserve Bank, Shirka and Varisi also heard explosions. This allowed them to move the gold much faster, and Millett, who was in charge of transporting it, had already arrived at the bank with the convoy. After loading more than a dozen trucks with gold, Millett personally led the team to the shipyard, where Feldrisi and the others were already waiting for their arrival.
Looking at the departing convoy, Shilka and Vasily wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and the dozens of operatives who came with the two of them also sat in the hall for a while. Carrying more than 30 tons of gold in one breath is all manual work, and it takes manpower to pack and carry it on the car, especially at the entrance, which can only allow two people to pass, which is even more tiring, no wonder it will make them tired.
And Vasily, who had taken a break and breathed a sigh of relief, stood up at this time.
"Alright, let's move on. Time is running out, so we must finish moving this place today. ”
Looking at the people who were all standing up, Shilka raised his hand and poked Donovsky beside him, gasping and asking, "How many days did it take you to move in?"
"In three days, it took nearly three hundred Guards soldiers three days and nights to move out."
Hearing this, Shilka sighed and said, "This is the most tiring job I've ever moved, and I should have changed with someone else." ”
Vasily stepped forward and pulled him up, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you don't have a chance." ”
Facing Vasily's smile, Shilka said with a disgusted face: "Don't laugh, I feel panicked when I see it." ”
Then he pointed to his arm, and gestured to Varisi's arm, which was thicker than his thigh, and said, "My little body is not as strong as your animals. ”
Faced with Shilka's words, Vasily did not answer. Just slapped his shoulder with a thick hand, making Shilka, who was already sore in the shoulder, instantly grin.
And Shilka's actions filled the hall with laughter, and everyone felt that the fatigue on their bodies was also reduced a lot.
Christo's plan was perfectly carried out with the cooperation of the commander of the Kazan garrison, Mozhilov, who miscalculated.
On that day, the attention of the Soviet and Russian troops was focused on the main transportation routes and important strongholds. As for the Kazan Bank, which had no significant value, no one else was sent except for a telephone inquiry at that time. The work of Walisi and the others was much easier, after all, no one wanted accidents.
As for Millit's convoy, it also carried this Russian wealth back and forth on the empty streets. In the face of Millit and his party, who looked like the army escorting important supplies, few Kazan residents dared to come forward to observe, except for the patrols encountered in the last two transports, it can be said that the road was smooth. As for the patrol, they were frightened by Millett's assumption that this was an important task that you could not afford.
In the evening of the same day, more than 500 tons of gold, which were still at the Kazan Reserve Bank early in the morning, had been transported to the shipyard for two passenger and cargo transport ships ready to depart.
After all the evacuees had boarded the ship, Christo ordered, "Go." ”
Two ships laden with Eder's expectations and Russian wealth slowly left the shore and headed for the lower Volga. The first step of the plan was executed flawlessly.
That night in the Baroque royal palace in Romania, Miloc, who was in charge of the matter, reported to Eder: "I have just received the news that the first step of the plan has been successful, and the goods are already on the ship. ”
Faced with Milok's words, Edel glanced at the gray-haired intelligence leader and said, "Got it, you have to ensure the safety of the goods." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Miloc, who was nearly half a hundred years old, withdrew.
Edel saw the intelligence chief's departure, and his brow furrowed again.
