Bai Fei didn't know what was in the secret room, so he was curious and decided to blow open the door with explosives.

Wang Weiguo said: "This place is full of munitions, and if you want to blow them up with explosives, you must move these munitions out." ”

Bai Fei also knew that this matter was urgent, so he asked all the soldiers of the Protector Army in the Gongda Yarn Factory to gather and move the arms in the basement to the open space outside.

After more than half an hour of busy work, the entire basement was emptied, and the person standing in it was empty and much more comfortable.

Li Hu arranged the explosives with his own hands, and then lit the fuse at the exit of the basement. After a while, there was a boom below, and the dust kicked up by the blast wave immediately poured out of the tunnel mouth.

As soon as the explosion passed, Li Hu was about to rush down, Bai Fei grabbed him and said, "I don't know what is in it, in case it is a harmful substance, aren't you going to die like this?" Wait a little longer, put on a chemical protective suit and a gas mask and go down, what kind of frizz and irritability. ”

Li Hu's face turned red, so he had to give up.

Everyone waited for more than ten minutes, Bai Fei and the others changed their equipment, and Li Hu said: "Tuanzao, I'll go down to explore the road first." You and Company Commander Wang and Company Commander Xu will wait on it for a while, in case there is any danger, they will not all be folded inside. ”

Bai Fei said: "It's okay, you be careful yourself, if there's anything wrong, come out first." ”

Li Hu nodded, put on a gas mask, took out a pistol from his waist and loaded it, and walked into the basement step by step.

At this moment, Li Shuyang suddenly walked in from outside the warehouse, Bai Fei put aside the curiosity in his heart for a while, and went up with Wang Weiguo and others to ask him about the battle and the casualties of the soldiers.

Li Shuyang said: "Don't worry, our casualties are not large, only 7 were injured and 2 were killed." Then he began to explain the events of the battle.

It turned out that their 2nd company cooperated with the tax police regiment on the front line of Longchang Road to block the attack of the Japanese marines, at the beginning of the Japanese army was violent, and after being repelled several times by Li Shuyang and the tax police regiment stationed here, the Japanese army no longer attacked, but went around to the south of Changyang Road, and marched east along Yangshupu Road, trying to bypass the Chinese defenders on the front line of Longchang Road and join the Shigeto detachment on the military road. At that time, Li Shuyang planned to return to the division to block it, but soon received news that the Shigetsu detachment on the front line of the military road had suffered a fiasco, and Li Shuyang expected that the Japanese marines would definitely return in vain, so he continued to command the troops to cooperate with the tax police regiment to push westward, but instead pushed the defense line to the line of Shuangyang Road in one go, forming a confrontation with the Japanese army on the west side of Huangxing Road. At this time, the Japanese Shigeto detachment had been annihilated, and the Japanese troops who went to the military road also returned to the division to hold on to no longer take the initiative to provoke. When I walked to Kongjiang Road, I heard that Bai Fei was attacking the Gongda Yarn Factory, so he brought people here again.

After Li Shuyang finished speaking, he saw that Bai Fei and the others were wearing chemical protective suits, so he curiously asked the reason.

Bai Fei briefly explained the situation, and as he was talking, he saw Li Hu walking up from the basement with an excited face and saying, "Tuanzao, there is no danger inside, everyone come in and see, there are good things!" ”

Bai Fei and the four of them immediately walked into the basement, and Li Hu trotted all the way to the door of the secret room, pointed inside, and said, "Look, the little devil has hidden so much gold here. ”

Bai Fei stood at the door and looked over, only to see dozens of boxes placed in the secret room, the lid of the box had been lifted by Li Hu, and the gold bricks were neatly stacked inside, and there was a piece of gold shining in the eye, which made people feel like a dream, and they were dizzy for a while. In addition to gold, there are also some boxes containing some pearls, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which seem to be all valuable things.

Wang Weiguo and Li Shuyang were also shocked by the scene in front of them, and their mouths were wide open, and they stood stunned on the spot. Xu Changsheng was even more unbearable, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets. The four of them stood at the door of the secret room in a daze, staring intently at the gold. After a long time, Bai Fei finally reacted, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, walked up and touched the gold in the box with vague steps, only to feel that the tentacles were cold, but his heart was as excited as electricity, and he was numb.

Li Hu said on the side: "When I came down just now, I was also stunned for a long time, Tuanzao, how much gold do you say there is here?" ”

Bai Fei's mind is blank now, how can he know how much, even if he asks him to count, he may not be able to calculate clearly.

However, Li Shuyang was more calm, he saw a notebook in one of the boxes, walked up and picked it up and opened it and read a few pages, Li Shuyang said: "There are a total of 40 tons of gold here, which were transported and stored here by several Japanese-funded banks in Shanghai before the war in Shanghai, as well as these antiques, pearls, jade, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which are also valuable things stored in the banks of Japanese expatriates in Shanghai." This booklet is a breakdown, you can take a look. ”

Bai Fei walked over and flipped through a few pages, then put the booklet away, and said: "Since it is a Japanese thing, then we are welcome, they don't know how many people have looted us in China over the years, and we will take over this gold as interest, and in the future, this batch of gold will be used as the military expenses of our national defense army, do you have any opinions on this?" ”

Several people shook their heads one after another, indicating that they had no opinion.

Wang Weiguo said: "These things are too valuable, and it is no longer safe here at the moment, so I think it is better for us to seal them up and transport them away as soon as possible." ”

Li Shuyang said: "What Brother Wei Guo said is true, but we don't have any means of transport at hand now, and the Huangpu River is full of Japanese ships, how can we transport so many things out of Shanghai?" ”

Xu Changsheng said: "It is definitely not possible to take the water route, you can only take the land route, 40 tons of gold and these jade calligraphy and paintings, plus camouflage, I am afraid it will take a lot of vehicles to transport, if there is no good excuse, how to borrow so many vehicles with others." If the matter is exposed, it will be difficult for us to eat alone. “

Bai Fei also had a headache about this, and after thinking about it, he had no clue, so he said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and now it's getting late, let's seal the things first, ask someone to carry the box out and hide it, and then give a gag order with the brothers, and wait for tomorrow morning I will find a way to find the car!" ”

That night, the entire Protector Army was given a gag order, and then everyone was stationed at the Gongda Yarn Mill.

Bai Fei had a headache all night, and he had been thinking about how to transport the gold away all night, but he didn't come up with a good way until it was almost dawn. He didn't sleep all night, but he couldn't sleep at this time, and when Zhengxiang was asleep in a daze, he was suddenly woken up.

Bai Fei opened his eyes and found that the sky had already dawned, and it was almost 10 o'clock when he looked at his watch. Li Hu said beside him: "Tuanzao, get up quickly, Chief Chen, they are here." ”

Bai Fei slept in a daze, not very awake, and asked, "Which Chief Chen?" ”

Li Hu said: "Commander Chen Cheng, commander of the Left Route Army, there is another commander who came with me, but I don't know him, it is said that they are here to give you a commendation order..."
