From the North Dock of China Merchants to the west to the middle wharf of China Merchants, this distance is indeed not close, if Xiao Linghu and Lin Jinghan, the four people who have changed into devil military uniforms, walk along the dock, it should not attract the attention of the devil's secret sentinel, but for the other three people who do not have devil uniforms, it is a little difficult.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Linghu said to Meng Fanwei: "Xiao Meng, you and Dahan and Shunzi go back to the boat again!" ”

Before Meng Fanwei could speak, Shunzi said unhappily: "Do you still want to drive us away?" ”

Xiao Linghu was a little short of breath, smiled bitterly, and said, "That's not the case!" The three of you are still rowing from the middle of the Huangpu River to the middle wharf. ”

"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Meng Fanwei hasn't understood yet.

Xiao Linghu explained: "We disguise ourselves as devils, we can go to the middle dock, and we don't have to alarm the devils on other docks in the middle, and it also saves time." The three of you have no disguise, so you have to go back the way you came. Rock the boat to the center of the Huangpu River opposite the China Merchants Central Wharf, don't rush to the shore first, and watch our signal! ”

"Signal?" Meng Fanwei asked.

Xiao Linghu nodded and said, "Why don't the four of us go over and touch the secret sentry on the devil's side, and when it is cleaned up, I will use a flashlight to shoot a long and two short signal lights to the center of the river, and you can lean over after you see the signal!" ”

"What if I don't see your signal for half a day?" Meng Fanwei couldn't help asking.

Xiao Linghu said: "It should be half past nine o'clock over there, if we can't solve the battle before eleven o'clock, it means that we have failed, you don't have to wait, go back directly!" ”

Hearing Xiao Linghu say this, Meng Fanwei couldn't help but become worried, and said to Xiao Yang: "Why don't the two of us change clothes, I followed our company commander, and you go rowing?" ”

Xiao Yang hesitated, but looked at Xiao Linghu.

Xiao Linghu shook his head and said resolutely: "Xiao Meng, don't be nonsense, listen to my orders!" ”

Meng Fanwei had no choice but to agree.

************************

Watching Meng Fanwei, Da Han and Shunzi climb down the awning boat along the anchor chain again, and watched the awning boat slowly swing towards the center of the river, Xiao Linghu and Lin Jinghan, Liu Jingang, and Xiao Yang got off the gangway of the Xingye and walked up to the North Stack Wharf.

It was pitch black on the North Pier, and only two dim street lamps on both sides of the pier were faintly shining, and they could only shine not far away. Looking to the east, the adjacent Jardine Wharf is also similar to the North Pier, without a trace of anger; It's a little farther away from Huishan Wharf, looking at the bright lights.

Huishan Wharf has passed through an explosion last night, and the devil has learned to be smart, and he has lit up everywhere, leaving no dead ends, for fear that there will be vandals sneaking in. Especially the devil warship docked on the wharf, the high-power searchlight on it has been rotating slowly, shining at 360 degrees, all the way from the Huangpu River, to the Jardine Wharf, and even the afterglow is projected on the North Pier.

At this time, the most lively place should still be along the Honghe River in the west, and the battle in the northwest direction has started again, in the case of artillery fire that is not as good as the devils, especially in the face of the devils' strong fortifications, perhaps the night attack is the best way to reduce casualties.

Xiao Linghu knows that with the development of the war, if the devils here cannot be eliminated as quickly as possible, then once the devil's reinforcements arrive, the expansion of the war will naturally be inevitable, and more importantly, the initiative of the battle will be lost, and he can only be passively pushed by the actions of the devils.

And the battle on this side, according to the battle plan, should have ended long ago the day before yesterday. Based on the relevant information obtained in advance, the devil soldiers in the Japanese concession plus the retired personnel they recruited, including the sailors on the warship, should not exceed 5,000 people, but it is such a little devil, under the attack of two divisions and a brigade, it can be supported for nearly a week, in addition to showing that the devil's combat power is strong, it can only show that the combat ability of the ** troops is low.

And the mission they are carrying out now is to be able to recover the lost time.

The light in the west is not as abundant as in the east, but there is still some faint light leaking out of nowhere, and you can see the road under your feet.

Walking west from the North Stack Wharf is Gonghexiang Wharf, only on this wharf there is a light on the canopy of the loading and unloading place blowing with the river breeze, swaying back and forth, pulling the figure of the person to the left from time to time, and then to the right.

The four of them walked carefully in a neat row, Lin Jinghan walked in front, Xiao Yang walked in the second position, Liu Jingang ranked third, and Xiao Linghu walked last. This is not determined by the height of the head, because Lin Jinghan is expected to speak Japanese, so naturally he has to be at the forefront.

Although nothing happened when they walked through the Gonghexiang Pier, Xiao Linghu could clearly feel that there were enemy eyes in the darkness staring at them from a certain location. He was still a little worried now, because Xiao Yang and Liu Jingang were carrying a formal rifle, and he and Lin Jinghan were each carrying a flower machine gun.

However, because there is cover of night, and the enemy's outposts are hiding far away and do not know where, it is believed that they will not be able to see these details.

In fact, the Japanese soldiers also liked the use of the flower machine gun, especially in close combat, after suffering many losses, they would keep it and be reluctant to throw it away after taking this gun in the future.

The Japanese did not produce this kind of equipment, they were an island nation with very few resources, because what they had learned from the Germans at the beginning, after analysis, they decided that the amount of ammunition consumed by this flower machine gun was too much for them to bear, and if it was used as a rifle, it would be difficult to fire only one round, unless it hit the vital position of the personnel. Another reason is that they think that instead of developing such melee weapons, it is better to produce more medium and long-range weapons such as light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

Of course, most of the machine guns captured by Japanese soldiers in battles were produced by various Chinese arsenals, and the most helpless thing was that their bullets were not suitable for this kind of firearms.

Lin Jinghan's flower machine gun was snatched from the hands of the devil spies, and it had already changed hands three times, and the firearm was also worn out badly, far less useful than Xiao Linghu's gun.

"I can feel it, the devil is in the yard on our right!" Liu Jingang whispered to Xiao Linghu behind him.

Xiao Linghu could also feel that he couldn't help but look at the yard on the right, where it was so dark that there was no light at all, only two high piles of things that seemed to be coals were piled there, and there was not even a point of reflection.

"Leave him alone!" Xiao Linghu made a decision: "Let's not waste time here!" ”

Liu Jingang nodded, didn't say anything more, followed Lin Jinghan and Xiao Yang in front, and walked through the dock at a normal pace.
