Under the order of this military officer, the canvas behind the carriage was lifted by the two Japanese soldiers guarding the carriage, and the two soldiers carried a wooden box and got out of the carriage.

At this time, the Japanese soldier Cao didn't say much, and directly ordered the two soldiers to open the wooden box, and then bowed to Tanaka Taro and said, "Your Excellency Nakasa, please check." ”

Taro Tanaka approached the box and looked at the open box under the light of the flashlight in the hands of the second lieutenant of the Japanese military police in charge of the Seongsai checkpoint, and saw that several rifles smeared with butter were neatly placed in the box, and the light of the flashlight shone with metal.

Tanaka Taro looked up at the carriage and found that the wooden boxes were neatly stacked, so he returned the passage documents in his hand to the Japanese soldier Cao, and ordered: "Okay, no problem, you can pass the customs." After leaving the city, you should pay special attention to your safety, and do not let the anti-Japanese elements and bandits take away these guns and ammunition. ”

"Hey!" The Japanese soldier Cao took the document and bowed with both feet in agreement.

Taro Tanaka strode to the checkpoint and ordered the gendarmes at the checkpoint: "Lift the railing and let you go!" ”

Following Taro Tanaka's order, the trucks of the 16th Division, which had already packed their things, began to start their engines again, slowly passed through this gendarmerie checkpoint, and drove into the darkness.

And Hu Yongqiang and others, who were hiding in the dark behind the pile of boxes in the carriage, only fell to the ground after the car started to move again.

Because the car stopped at the checkpoint just now, Hu Yongqiang was actually not very nervous, after all, he had followed the Japanese military vehicle through the Japanese military police checkpoint many times in the middle of the night. Generally speaking, this Japanese military vehicle will stop when it arrives at this checkpoint, and the Japanese soldier Cao Cao who is sitting in the passenger seat in front of him will say a few words to the Japanese military police at the checkpoint, and the car will be released. At most, the Japanese military police at the checkpoint took a flashlight at the car to see what was going on in the car.

But it was obvious that there was an accident today, and the conversation outside the car lasted for a long time, although these devils all spoke Japanese, and Hu Yongqiang couldn't understand a word.

But someone came to the back of the carriage, and the two Japanese soldiers in the carriage also moved a wooden box out of the car for unpacking and inspection, which surprised Hu Yongqiang.

This made Hu Yongqiang's heart rise all of a sudden, and he didn't know what to do, could it be said that this kind of secret smuggling business leaked out? Otherwise, why would the Japanese military police uncharacteristically demand that the wooden boxes be removed and opened for inspection at this checkpoint?

But Hu Yongqiang knew that at this time, he actually had no way to think about it, and the only thing he could do was to let the two people around him hide and not move like himself, so as not to be discovered by the Japanese military police who were inspecting.

However, after opening the box and inspecting it, it seems that the Japanese military police at this checkpoint did not find anything, and the light of the flashlight shone on the car at random, and the inspectors did not find them, so they let their truck go. It wasn't until the car started again that the big stone in Hu Yongqiang's heart finally fell to the ground.

The truck soon drove to Hakumaro, and after it stopped, the Japanese soldier Cao who was sitting in the passenger seat knocked on the glass behind the cab to give a signal of arrival.

Hu Yongqiang immediately got out of the car with the two people who followed the car, and under the reflection of the moonlight, he began to quickly move the wooden boxes belonging to the smuggling business from the carriage. The speed at which the three of them moved the boxes was not that fast, and it took more than a dozen boxes to finish moving.

And the Japanese soldier Cao did not get out of the car, but silently used the reflector to observe the situation behind the car. It wasn't until he finished moving the wooden box that he stuck out his head and shouted to the two Japanese soldiers behind him: "You can get into the car when they finish moving, we still have a task to complete." ”

Hu Yongqiang turned around and watched the tail lights of the Japanese truck disappear into the darkness, and then said to the two hitchhikers: "Let's move, this is Baimadu, our company has rented a warehouse here to store products, if you two want to wait for that Mr. Pan, then you can be wronged tonight and rest in this warehouse." ”

Minister Pan had already told the leader about such an arrangement, so these two people didn't mind, and moved these wooden boxes with Hu Yongqiang.

This leading comrade once asked Hu Yongqiang how these guns and ammunition were unloaded here by Japanese military vehicles, and to tell the truth, he was still a little moved by these weapons and ammunition. Because the anti-Japanese armed equipment of the party organization in Huangshan Province is still very poor, if these weapons and ammunition can be obtained, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the party organization, whether it is to replace the old sleeves whose rifling has been smoothed out or to recruit troops.

But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again, because although he judged that this Manager Hu was very likely to be his comrade, he was not completely sure. If not, his inquiry will lead to his own exposure.

And even if Manager Hu who took them out of the city was his comrade, he estimated that even if he asked, the other party would not honestly admit it, because the line of underground work was managed by the Social Department of the Southern Bureau, and according to the principle, if other leaders were not in charge of this work, they would also not be able to know the inside story. It seems that it would be more appropriate to wait until tomorrow morning when Minister Pan comes out of the city to meet them here.

Li Yixin took Minister Pan to the tea shop in Shamao Street and then took the car home, he didn't want to wander around the city in the middle of the night, in case someone saw it, it was not good.

After Lao Pan knocked on the door and entered the tea shop, Lao Hou reinstalled the door panel and forked the door, invited Minister Pan to sit down in the back room, and asked with concern: "Lao Pan, how is it?" Is everything going well? ”

Minister Pan looked at the room, nodded and praised like Lao Hou: "Comrade Li Yixin's work is indeed very efficient as you said, to be honest, he considers his work very carefully. In fact, we all know that the leading comrade and the guard did not have a certificate of good citizenship, and it was still dangerous to walk around the occupied area, and I once wondered if I would find an opportunity to get this kind of identity certificate for them after they passed through Stone Town. However, Comrade Li Yixin had already taken into account the front and used this half-day to quickly complete the certificate of good citizenship, and this efficiency can be said to be outstanding among other underground party organizations in the occupied areas. At the beginning, we agreed that he was the right move to enter Wang's puppet government, and of course, it was also a good move to transfer him from Chongqing to work in Stone Town. ”
