Chapter 946: Victory (Second Update!) )
After all, the bank is open to the public, and if it is guarded by the army at five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry, no one will dare to come in.
Therefore, although the bank is important, it only has a small team, and most of the strength of this team is guarded in the backyard of the bank, especially around the vault where the gold is hidden.
However, there are a lot of people in the secret service and plainclothes squad.
Although many people were transferred to the vicinity of the gendarmerie headquarters, there were still nearly 100 large and small spies scattered around the bank.
Ordinary people dressed up, with box cannons hanging from their waists, bulging, moved around the bank, staring at every Chinese who entered and exited the bank.
As the night slowly fell, the city of Nanjing, which had been lively for a day, slowly quieted down.
In addition to the patrol of the Japanese puppet army, there is not a single ordinary person in sight on the wide street.
Plainclothes and spies around the bank were also dispersed.
Only a dozen people remained at the bank on duty.
The Devil Infantry squad stationed at the bank did not let their guard down because it was dark.
At least twenty devils held their posts, rifles in hand, eyes wide open, staring around.
The city of Nanjing in August and September is as hot as ever, even if it is late at night.
Beads of sweat were all over the sentry's forehead, and it was raining down on his face.
The heat and exhaustion were crushing their willpower, their nerves, their vigilance, and their vigilance slowly relaxing as the night grew darker.
At one o'clock in the morning, a commando dressed in black appeared around the bank.
The cover of the night allowed them to blend in with their surroundings, crouching in the corner, and if they didn't look closer, they wouldn't be visible.
Dozens of people, covering each other, avoiding patrols, approached the bank like ghosts.
"A few of you stay outside on guard, keep an eye on the little devil sentry at the door of the bank, and kill them as soon as there is any abnormal movement." Li Hao ordered in a low voice.
After speaking, he directly led people around the bank gate and touched the backyard.
"That's it!"
Li Hao found the mark left on the wall by the intelligence officer and ordered.
"Alert, Xiao Yuan, you go up first, confirm that this is indeed the enemy's warning corner!" Li Hao ordered very seriously.
The two team members immediately stood in the corner hand in hand.
Xiao Yuan put the box cannon in his mouth and trotted towards the two team members.
The moment the left foot was placed in the hands of the two team members, the two team members pushed up hard, Xiao Yuan buckled the top of the wall with both hands, and then poked his head out of the courtyard wall little by little.
After observing carefully for half a minute, he suddenly exerted force with both hands, and then climbed to the top of the courtyard wall.
The last leap landed inside the courtyard wall.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
One of the most common cricket crickets came from inside the courtyard walls.
Li Hao's face was overjoyed, and he decisively ordered: "It's safe inside, go over the wall and go in." ”
In three minutes, more than two dozen team members entered the bank.
Except for a few team members with rifles and submachine guns in their hands, most of the team members held bows and crossbows in their hands, and arrows peeking out of the arrow slots, even though it was night, still could not hide the cold light it emitted.
Xiao Yuan took the two commandos to the front, alternately covering and rushing forward.
Soon, two sentry posts came into their field of vision.
The black clothes provided them with the best cover, and without alarming a single sentry, they touched all the way to a position more than ten meters away from them.
Pick up the crossbow, aim it at the target, and don't hesitate to trigger it.
The bowstring trembled very faintly, but it caught the attention of a sentry.
Subconsciously turned his head, trying to see what the voice was just now.
But the speed of the crossbow is too fast, and the firing distance is too short.
As soon as he turned his head, the crossbow bolt appeared in front of his eyes, and in a flash it pierced his neck.
This is a well-deserved sword to seal the throat.
The crossbow arrow easily penetrated the devil's neck, and then remained on the neck, and the arrow and the tail of the arrow were exposed, dripping blood.
Death was imminent, the little devil's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to speak, but the crossbow bolts had sealed his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
He wanted to pick up the rifle on his back and shoot to warn his comrades, but the rapidly fading physical strength made him unable to exert any strength with his hands.
His eyes were full of despair and horror, as if the bones in his body were shattered in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground.
Inside the bank, the bowstring trembled, and the crossbow arrows whizzed and flew, taking the lives of one devil after another.
An hour later, the near-massacre was finally over.
There was a noticeable hint of blood in the air.
"Commander, the operation is over, and there is not a single living person in the bank!" Xiao Yuan walked over with excitement.
"Clean up the battlefield and take everything you can with you, especially the gold and foreign currency in the vault!" Li Hao ordered very seriously.
The tense nerves did not relax because of this good news.
The elimination of the bank garrison is only the first step of the mission, how to transport the gold seized by the bank out of Nanjing City, and how to safely withdraw the team members involved in the operation.
Xiao Yuan hurriedly replied: "We have found the vault, each team member carries thirty catties, and should be able to take all the gold and foreign currency in the vault away." ”
Li Hao nodded, and continued to order: "I asked Director Zhou to bring in all the explosives prepared, let's arrange it now, make a few more explosion points, and put the detonator in the vault, so that the little devil who searches the vault can touch the mechanism." ”
"All the gold will be delivered to the meeting point we have agreed upon, and we will leave the city as soon as the gates are opened at dawn."
"The city gate opens at six o'clock, the bank opens at nine o'clock, as long as there is no accident, there are three hours in the middle for us to get out of the city smoothly, please the Japanese puppet army pursues."
With the cooperation of the underground party and the Chongqing intelligence forces, the assault team was like a fish in water, and all of them rushed to the meeting point before six o'clock.
Dozens of carts full of excrement were parked at the meeting point, and a thick stench could be smelled from a long distance.
The dung was just collected by the dung workers and had to be carried out as soon as the gates were opened.
This is a plan formulated by the underground party to get out of the city, and in the past, they used the same method to send things out of Nanjing many times, and they did not miss a single time.
"Wrap the things in a tarpaulin, wrap two more layers, and put them in the manure truck." Li Hao ordered in a deep voice.
"We also changed our clothes, dressed up as street vendors, and went out of town with the dung trucks."
The dung trucks have to go out of the city every day, and the feces produced in Nanjing City for the first time are transported out, and the Japanese puppet army guarding the city gate tower has long been surprised, covering their noses and urging dozens of dung trucks to leave quickly, so as not to affect their good mood.
Although the city of Nanjing was heavily guarded and full of plainclothes agents, they were all targeting strangers entering the city.
In the absence of a lockdown order, there was not much embarrassment for the people who left the city.
After all, after everyone goes out, they will not pose a threat to Nanjing City.
So the commandos left the city of Nanjing very easily.
Looking at the increasingly distant city wall behind him, Li Hao's tense nerves were not completely relieved until this time.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the bank had not yet opened, and the sentry guarding the door was nowhere to be seen.
Plainclothes and agents in the vicinity realized that something was wrong and immediately broke in.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Soon, the shrill sirens sounded in the city of Nanjing, and groups of troops rushed out of the garrison and went straight to the bank.
In less than ten minutes, the bank was tightly surrounded by the Japanese puppet army.
A large sa rushed in with a squad of imperial troops.
"Boom ......"
It didn't take long for an explosion to sound in the backyard of the bank, sending black smoke up at least ten meters high.
On the street, ordinary people hurried back to their homes, and everyone realized that something had happened in Nanjing.
After another ten minutes, the gates of Nanjing began to close, and the gendarmerie, garrison, and spies all went to the joints and searched from house to house......
