Chapter 18: The Flame (5)
Xiao Linghu and Meng Fanwei quickly got down from the dangerous building, and it was certain that the devils on the entire dock had been emptied, and now they could swagger to deal with the devil bunkers on both sides of the Hongqiao.
From this dangerous building to the door of the warehouse, it is much closer than when they came, after all, it was a detour just now, but now it is a straight line, in fact, there are only more than 100 meters between the two buildings.
Lin Jinghan, Liu Jingang and Shunzi were anxiously waiting for them to come back, and when they saw two figures coming, Liu Jingang was still a little nervous, for fear that there were two more devils, but Lin Jinghan identified the two people at a glance and did not let Shunzi shoot.
It wasn't until it was close that Liu Jingang also saw the person coming, and he asked Lin Jinghan a little strangely: "Brother Han, have you only been here for a few days?" How did you recognize them at a moment's notice? ”
Lin Jinghan glanced at him and said, "Although I have only been a soldier for a few days, I have known Xiao Linghu for more than a day or two!" ”
Xiao Linghu had already run over, and when he heard someone chanting his name, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" And mention me? ”
"It's okay! Just ask! Liu Jingang hurriedly said.
Lin shuddered and asked, "How is it?" Did the devil kill him? ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Linghu nodded and looked at Zhang Shun.
"Was it Junko who killed him?" Liu Jingang couldn't help asking. Just now, they didn't hear any more gunshots.
"Yes!" Xiao Linghu nodded.
Zhang Shun said: "I just said that the devil is dead, you still don't believe me!" ”
Meng Fanwei glanced at him and teased: "Look at what you can!" Although he said so, from the bottom of his heart, he was already convinced.
Zhang Shun glanced at him, stopped answering, and turned his head away. He didn't have a good impression of Meng Fanwei, but he was still a little afraid of him, after all, Huang Mao died under his gun, and when he mentioned this matter, Meng Fanwei couldn't wait to come over and incite him two mouths.
"Hurry up and take out the devil's bunker!" Xiao Linghu didn't have the leisure to argue with them, he took out his pocket watch and pressed it, and when the watch cover bounced, there was a beautiful light sound, and by the light of the slight bullet, he saw that the hour and minute hands with luminescence pointed to half past eleven, and they were entangled with the enemy on this dock for nearly two hours, and they also sacrificed two comrades.
Lin couldn't help but ask, "Ling Hu, do you have any way?" ”
"Yes!" Liu Jingang also said: "The devil's bunker is not easy to approach, they even dig holes in the back, and it is a twin fort, you can rely on each other, there is no dead angle for shooting at all." ”
Meng Fanwei said: "I don't believe that those devils don't sleep, let's crawl over quietly, and then throw a grenade at them and blow them up!" ”
"It's useless!" Liu Jingang said: "I heard from the people in the first battalion, they also wanted to do this at the time, not to mention that they couldn't climb over at all, those devils took turns on duty, and there were people at any time!" Even if you climb in front of it, it's useless, the devil's bunker is like a grave, even if you throw a grenade into it, you may not be able to blow the bunker open. ”
Meng Fanwei turned his head to Xiao Linghu and asked, "Brother Hu, didn't you just say that you have a way to deal with the two bunkers of the devils?" And you don't have to take any risks! Now it's all about time, speak up and let everyone hear it! ”
Xiao Linghu smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple, we can use the drainage ditches on both sides of the street?" ”
"Gutter?" Meng Fanwei was stunned for a moment, touching his head and thinking hard.
Even Lin Jinghan and Liu Jingang are inexplicable.
The bustling streets of the British and French concessions in Shanghai are like Western architecture, before the construction, the sewer is excavated, and then the cement slab or bluestone slab is paved on it, and an iron grate is placed every other place, when it rains, the rainwater can enter the sewer through the iron grate, flow into the main pipeline and then into the Huangpu River.
But most of the streets are open ditches on both sides, after all, such roads are relatively simple and convenient. However, there is a downside, that is, residents on both sides of the road may pour dirty water into the gutter, forming a strong smell, which looks dirty, bad, smelly and messy.
It's just that for people who are accustomed to Chinese streets, they don't think there's anything wrong with the drainage ditches that Xiao Linghu said.
"What's wrong with the gutter?" Lin asked in a hurry.
Xiao Linghu said: "Hehe, the devil's bunker is built right on top of the drainage ditch!" ”
"So what?"
Xiao Linghu said: "What do you say the devil will lay on the drainage ditch?" Is it a plank? Or is it a cement plate or an iron plate? ”
"Of course you don't lay iron plates, how expensive is that?" Meng Fanwei said.
"Cement slabs can't either!" Liu Jingang said: "That thing is not cheap, and only the British would lay cement slabs so luxuriously." I guess if it's not a bluestone slab, it's a wooden plank! ”
"It must be a plank!" Lin said in shock: "The bluestone slabs have to be transported from the mountains, as long as the planks are ready-made, and they are close to the dock, they can be easily obtained!" ”
Indeed, as Lin Jinghan said, the waterways and water networks in the south of the Yangtze River are vertical and horizontal, and the bamboo and wood coming down from Anhui and Zhejiang are directly tied into rafts and floated down the river, so it is much more convenient to transport timber in the river.
"Even if it's a plank, does it have anything to do with us?" Liu Jingang still doesn't understand.
Lin Jinghan seemed to understand something and was using his brain.
Meng Fanwei also said: "What do we care about him?" ”
Only Zhang Shun, like a nobody, leaned against the wall of the warehouse, carrying his own gun, and watched them discuss motionlessly.
"Wood burns easily!" Xiao Linghu said.
"Who doesn't know that wood burns easily? You want you to say? Meng Fanwei grabbed the white road.
Lin Jinghan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately thought of something, turned around and walked towards the warehouse.
"Brother Han, what are you going to do?" Meng Fanwei asked hurriedly.
Lin replied without looking back: "I'll see how many barrels of gasoline there are in it!" ”
"Gasoline?" Meng Fanwei and Liu Jingang shouted in unison.
Xiao Linghu nodded affirmatively and said, "There is some gasoline stored in this warehouse, but I don't know how many barrels are full, we only need to be able to hit two barrels!" ”
"Yes!" Meng Fanwei also shouted: "Pour the gasoline down the drain, the gasoline will definitely flow down the ditch to the bottom of the devil's bunker, and then let's have another fire!" Ha ha! What a brilliant idea, the devil won't stop until he burns it to jerky! ”
Liu Jingang was also excited, and suddenly remembered a sentence, and shouted: "This is the nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" ”
Xiao Linghu also smiled slightly, this was the only time he smiled tonight, and he felt a kind of expectation from his heart, but he also knew that before the flame was lit, everything was still variable.
"Don't rejoice too soon, let's talk about it when we succeed! It's better to be cautious first, who knows if the devil will come out? ”
Hearing Xiao Linghu say this, Meng Fanwei and Liu Jingang also nodded together and walked into the warehouse one after the other.
Xiao Linghu looked around, listened again, everything was quiet, and he still said to Zhang Shun: "Shunzi, you are on guard outside, beware of the enemy coming!" ”
"Yes!" Junko replied in a low voice, as if she wasn't interested in the gasoline in the warehouse.
