After Jin Yixuan got the information, he immediately sent a report, got in touch with the New Fourth Army, and truthfully reported the information of the carrier pigeon word for word, after the New Fourth Army Headquarters learned of the situation, it was unbelievable, and after confirming that it was correct, the headquarters was full of joy, this is simply pie in the sky, and at once you can get four large boxes, more than 60 tons of guns and ammunition, which is simply from a poor peasant to a rich peasant all of a sudden, so a meeting of the military department was held overnight, and the information transmitted by Jin Yixuan was carefully and seriously discussed. In addition, those soldiers with good water skills were selected from the troops, and actual combat training was carried out in diving, underwater cutting, and underwater hauling of heavy objects, and how to transport these four large boxes of munitions to the garrison was discussed.

After receiving the information, the New Fourth Army sent a reconnaissance company to guard the shore at all times, carefully observing the ships coming and going on the Yangtze River, and only waiting for the Xingning and Youning to come into view.

And Ling Yunpeng's side has never dared to slack off, he has participated in this matter from beginning to end, and he must bow down to ensure that this matter is foolproof.

After the two freighters of Xingning and Youning docked, Zhao Jinwen dispatched all the six trucks of Shanghai Station, arrived at Wusongkou No. 3 Pier in the middle of the night, and then transported the twelve sealed boxes to Longchang Hardware Factory in two successions, Ling Yunpeng took Qin Shouyi, Qi Heng led some members of his action team and the guards who were originally stationed in Longchang Hardware Factory to load those guns and ammunition overnight.

Ling Yunpeng ordered everyone to mix these guns and ammunition, and divide all the munitions evenly into these twelve sealed boxes, which made Qi Heng and some team members feel a little puzzled. It stands to reason that it is more convenient to load a single item in each sealed box, so why did this Captain Ling let them divide different firearms and ammunition evenly and mix them into the box?

"Yun Peng, this is so troublesome, it's better to put bullets into bullets, guns to guns, grenades to grenades and put them in various sealed boxes." Qi Heng suggested.

Ling Yunpeng shook his head: "Old Qi, although it is convenient and fast for you to load goods like this, it is easy to cause an imbalance in the hull, and the hull of the ship will tilt to one side, and it will capsize." ”

After listening to Ling Yunpeng's explanation, Qi Heng realized that Ling Yunpeng had good intentions, and hurriedly rejected his suggestion and instructed the team members to load the goods according to Ling Yunpeng's requirements.

In fact, the purpose of Ling Yunpeng's mixed loading is not only for the balance of the hull, but more importantly, the mixed loading can avoid the situation that the arms intercepted by the New Fourth Army have guns and no bullets, or bullets and no guns, and after the mixing, the New Fourth Army can obtain all kinds of pistols, all kinds of rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, all kinds of bullets, shells, grenades, TNT explosives and other weapons and equipment at one time, so that the gift package with a complete variety is more combative.

After the first six trucks were loaded, the trucks left the Longchang Hardware Factory and drove to the Wusongkou wharf, Ling Yunpeng and Qin Shouyi drove the Ford to the Wusongkou wharf together, and Qi Heng stayed in Longchang to continue to mix the remaining six sealed boxes.

The reason why Ling Yunpeng called Qin Shouyi was because he knew that Qin Shouyi had good water properties, could dive, and was a strong man, so he could fix these sealed boxes to the bottom of the boat underwater.

Zhao Jinwen also came to the dock in person, and the matter of transporting arms was not trivial, and it was done, he was a meritorious hero of the party and the state, and if he was defeated, he might not be able to gain a foothold in Shanghai in the future, and he had to leave the Shanghai station, which he had operated for many years, so he had to personally supervise this matter.

Because Qi Heng wanted to stay in Shanghai to keep in touch with He Xiaoguang, this escort mission was handed over to Dong Wenhao and his members of the action team to carry out.

Zhao Jinwen saw Ling Yunpeng's Ford driving over, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "How is it?" ”

"It's going well, the first batch of six sealed boxes has been shipped, and the second batch is being shipped, and Qi Heng is in charge there. Now it's time to secure these sealed boxes to the bottom of the boat. Ling Yunpeng reported to Zhao Jinwen with a relaxed expression.

"Okay, I've already picked a few team members with good water skills, let them go into the water with you and Shouyi!" After Zhao Jinwen finished speaking, he beckoned to several team members behind him: "Come, you and Captain Ling will go into the water to fix the sealed box together." ”

"Yes." Several team members saluted Zhao Jinwen.

Ling Yunpeng saw that the action team members had already fixed the six sealed boxes with the cables, and were pushing these sealed boxes into the water, and the other end of the cable was fixed on two iron hooks, as long as the iron hooks were hooked to the iron rings at the bottom of the boat.

"Alright, let's get ready to get into the water."

After Ling Yunpeng finished speaking, the four of them took off their coats, shoes and socks, and held iron hooks tied to cables in their hands, and jumped into the water one after another.

Underwater, Ling Yunpeng saw six rings welded on each side of the bottom of the boat to secure the sealed box. So in pairs, two iron hooks were fastened to the ring at the same time, and after about half an hour, the six sealed boxes were finally fixed to the bottom of the Xingning.

After the event, everyone jumped out of the water like a dragon out of the water, and then swam ashore.

"Alright, we've hung the box on the bottom of the Xingning." After Ling Yunpeng went ashore, he walked up to Zhao Jinwen and nodded to him.

"Okay, good, I've already asked them to ship the second batch." Zhao Jinwen handed Ling Yunpeng a towel.

At this time, Dong Wenhao walked over and patted Ling Yunpeng's arm with a smile: "Yunpeng, we finally met again." I didn't expect you to be comfortable on land and in the water, you are really amphibious! ”

Dong Wenhao has been very grateful and admired to Ling Yunpeng since he was rescued from under the nose of Ling Yunpeng from the extra-high class, and the mole action has allowed Dong Wenhao and Ling Yunpeng to cooperate, although the division of labor is different, but they cooperate with each other tacitly, and Dong Wenhao has a further understanding of Ling Yunpeng's resourcefulness.

"Lao Dong, you're not bad, after walking by land and water, the road is open." Ling Yunpeng and Qi Heng and Dong Wenhao cherish each other, although they don't meet Dong Wenhao many times, but the two are very close: "But this time by water, it will take more than 20 days to go upstream, and you and your team members can only eat and live on the boat, which is very hard." ”

"Hey, what is this hardship, as long as these treasures can be transported to the headquarters smoothly, no matter how hard it is, it will be worth it."

At this time, the second batch of six sealed boxes also arrived, and Dong Wenhao hurriedly went to direct the team members to tie these sealed boxes with cables, and then pushed these sealed boxes into the water.

After Ling Yunpeng waited for Dong Wenhao to push the sealed box into the water, with a wave of his hand, Qin Shouyi and the others entered the water again, hooking the iron hook tied to the cable to the ring at the bottom of the Youning.

Ling Yunpeng carefully checked whether all the iron rings and iron hooks were properly hooked underwater, and only after feeling that everything was safe did he swim back to shore.

"Alright, teacher, you're all set." Ling Yunpeng reported to Zhao Jinwen.

Zhao Jinwen raised his hand to look at the time, and then said to Dong Wenhao: "Wenhao, the time is almost up, let's go!" ”

"Yes." Dong Wenhao saluted Zhao Jinwen.

"I wish you all the best!" Ling Yunpeng and Dong Wenhao hugged each other.

Dong Wenhao nodded at Ling Yunpeng, then waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the freighter.

Dong Wenhao walked into the captain's room of the Xingning and said to the captain: "Start the ship." ”

The captain nodded, then ordered the sailors to untie the cables and start the freighter, and the Xingning and Youning slowly sailed away from the dock.

Ling Yunpeng, Zhao Jinwen, Qin Shouyi and others stood on the dock, watching the Xingning and Youning drift away until they disappeared into the night......
