At 6 p.m. on March 23, a train of trucks bound for Changchun left Shanghai Station on time, and Zhao Jingdong, disguised as a co-pilot, wore a white-washed railway uniform and came to the mail car at the rear.

Zhao Jingdong soothed: "Team Leader He, don't be nervous, I carefully studied the route of this truck before getting on the train, after the train left Changzhou Station, half an hour later, passed by a small station, slowed down and did not stop, there was not far from the guerrilla area where the third column was active, within a few kilometers, there were no big village stores, there were few people, less than a mile away is the Hexia area, I estimate that they will do it there." There are still four hours, calm down. ”

He Qixin replied, "Are you right, four hours? It was almost eleven o'clock. There were only four of us in the car, since you had already ...... beforehand There should be some arrangement...... Captain, I mean with your wisdom, you will make up your mind before you act. ”

Zhao Jingdong smiled and said: "Asano-kun took more than 30 gendarmes in a car and ambushed two kilometers away, for fear of startling the grass and snakes, he didn't dare to get closer. As long as there is any movement here, Asano-kun can come over in a few minutes when he hears the gunshots. ”

He Qixin breathed a sigh of relief.

At half past six, Yang Wenju finished dinner in the cafeteria, changed his clothes, and said hello to several people who had just met at the seminar: "I made an appointment with a friend, and he said that he would take me to the big world to open my eyes, and he might not come back tonight." ”

Walking out of the gate of the guest house of the Songhu Occupation Army Headquarters, more than 200 meters ahead, there is a small empty field, where four or five coachmen are peddling business, Yang Wenju said to one of the coachmen who took the initiative to greet and talk: "How much does it cost to go to the Great World Playground?" ”

The coachman was disguised as an agent of No. 76, and he repeated: "Great World Casino? At least two dollars. ”

Yang Wenju did not bargain, and said after three rounds: "Okay, hurry up." ”

Seeing the three-wheeled car disappear into the curve ahead, another driver disguised as agent No. 76 took out his ID and ran to the communication room at the gate of the headquarters to report to Ni Xin, who commanded the operation.

At a quarter past seven, Yang Wenju arrived at the Great World Casino, paid the bill, got out of the car, walked into the gate, and walked straight towards the burlesque theater. Zheng Min, disguised as a doorman, nodded at the disguised coachman almost unnoticed, signaling that everything was normal.

Half an hour later, after a burlesque performance, Yang Wenju put down two small bills on the table, got up and said to the waiter: "I'll go to the toilet and show me the seat." ”

The waiter put away the tip, nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I'll change the pot of hot tea for you." ”

In the bathroom, Yang Wenju saw Sun Dongsheng, the two did not say hello, pretending not to know each other, Sun Dongsheng walked out of the back door first, and after a while, Yang Wenju also followed, and saw Sun Dongsheng actually driving a car slowly over, Yang Wenju did not speak, got into the car, Sun Dongsheng accelerated and drove away.

On the way, Sun Dongsheng asked uneasily: "Is everything going well?" ”

Yang Wenju replied with a somewhat irrepressible look of pride: "It's very smooth, all the goods will be sent out this morning." This plan is really happy, it is equivalent to No. 76 taking money to buy materials for us, and when they learned the truth, Li Shiqun vomited blood and died in anger? Hey, should we go to Zhang Chi now and let him escort me to Chongqing? ”

Sun Dongsheng replied: "Yes, you and Zhang Chi have known each other before?" By the way, he just transferred from Shenyang Station. ”

"Of course I'm very familiar, it's me who rebelled against him, he's a very capable person, in the Northeast, the devil has a reward of fifty gold bars for his want, and in the future, when he is in Shanghai, your work will be much easier."

Sun Dongsheng smiled and didn't answer.

The car driven by Quan Kanhu had quietly followed, and at the first corner, another car followed Quan Kanhu's car, and in this car, Ni Xin took three subordinates to go out in person.

Lao Qian, who was riding in the same car with Quan Kanhu, said: "I didn't expect that there would be a car again at the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, but fortunately, Director Ni anticipated the enemy's opportunity and arranged two cars to follow him. ”

At ten o'clock, a canopy boat stopped on the bank of a small river on the outskirts of Changzhou, and the new leader of the third column, Zhang Chi, took the detachment elder Xie and two other soldiers off the boat, and told Yu Haochen, who stayed on the boat: "There are 500 gold bars on the ship that were brought to Chongqing by the way and handed over to the bureau headquarters, and in half an hour, the person I will escort to Chongqing will also arrive here to meet him, no matter what happens, you should not leave the ship, if we fail to return at twelve o'clock, you can drive the boat by yourself, and I heard Director Zhou say that this ship has been modified and is in good condition." The speed is fast, and it is not a problem for you to escape safely. ”

After Zhang Chi escorted Yang Wenju to Chongqing, Zhou Chengbin temporarily served as the captain of the third column, and he took Yu Haochen and Tang Jitian to the station of the third column the day before.

Yu Haochen replied: "Captain Zhang may not know, this ship is what I am responsible for refitting, you should be more careful." ”

After Zhang Chi walked hundreds of meters with three of his subordinates, Tang Jitian drove a carriage up and said, "Get in the car." ”

When the group came to a place more than 200 meters away from the railway, Tang Jitian said in a low voice: "If you go further, you may be discovered by the Japanese railway patrol car." ”

Zhang Chi and the other five people got off the carriage, and touched the railway in the night, more than 20 meters away from the railway, everyone stopped, Zhang Chi waved his hand, Lao Xie and Tang Jitian leaned over and walked quickly to the other side of the railway, ran forward for a while, and Zhang Chi and others opened a distance of seventy or eighty meters, and the five people quietly ambushed.

At 10:55, the sound of the train moving was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Chi and others were ready with guns in their hands. The wagons gradually came into view, this was a curve, and there was a small station ahead, and the train did not stop but had to slow down to pass.

Tang Jitian, who was born as a train driver, attacked first, climbed on the front of the car, hit the door switch with a shot, rushed in, and drank: "Don't move!" Keep slowing down! Or I'll shoot you with one shot! At the same time, Zhang Chi led people to climb the last mail car.

Tang Jitian pointed a gun at the driver who was driving the train, and although the driver had been prepared, his face turned pale with fright, his hands trembled, and he stammered: "Don't drive...... Guns, guns, ......"

In the driver's cab, there were two people, the co-pilot and the stoker, and Lao Xie pointed a gun at them. Suddenly, Zhao Jingdong, disguised as the co-pilot, pulled out a gun, turned around and shot Lao Xie who threatened with a gun! Lao Xie was hit in the right leg and fell to the ground! Another agent flew up, kicked the gun in his hand, and fired at the same time, and Lao Xie rolled on the spot, saving a life.

Zhao Jingdong didn't aim, and fired two more shots at Tang Jitian, the purpose of his two shots was mainly to report to Asano with one click.

Tang Jitian was caught off guard, subconsciously dodging and firing, in the narrow cab, the gunfire was loud, the bullets flew sideways, hitting the wall of the carriage, and sparks flew everywhere!

The driver collapsed to the ground with a limp, and the truck was unmanned and continued to move.

Tang Jitian fired several shots in a row, one of the bullets flew past Zhao Jingdong's left arm, Zhao Jingdong was injured, and he screamed out, and the other agent couldn't help but be distracted, Lao Xie who fell to the ground had already climbed to the side of the burning boiler, not caring that he would be burned, picked up the shovel, and threw a shovel of burning hot coal at Zhao Jingdong!

The red coal fire was scattered everywhere, and the four of them were injured to varying degrees, among which Zhao Jingdong was the most seriously injured, a piece of hot coal the size of a chicken egg was in the middle of the door, and several pieces of coal dust splashed on the limbs. Lao Xie shouted: "Old Tang, jump out of the car!" Report the news! ”

Tang Jitian shot another shot at Zhao Jingdong, who was in a hurry, and then jumped off the train, took advantage of the momentum, and rolled under the roadbed! Lao Xie is another shovel of hot coals splashed out! Annoyed and angry, Zhao Jingdong didn't care about his injuries, and fired three shots at Lao Xie who was half-kneeling on the ground! Lao Xie was hit in the chest and abdomen at the same time, and he died, still holding the shovel in his hand......

At the same time, there was fierce fighting in the mail truck, and one soldier of the third column was killed on the spot, and one person from each side was wounded and fell to the ground. He Qixin and Zhang Chi coincidentally used the mail as a cover and shot around.

Although He Qixin was grazed by a bullet in his left shoulder, he was not in a hurry, the sound of trucks moving was already heard in the distance, and the reinforcements of the brigade led by Asano were about to arrive.

Zhang Chi was so anxious, he never expected that the enemy had already prepared and set a trap! When I first arrived in Shanghai, I planted such a big heel! What he was worried about was the safety of Yu Haochen and the others, and whether the five hundred gold bars could be saved. He knew very well in his heart: there must be something wrong with Yang Wenju, and it is impossible for the Japanese pseudo-traitors to just wait on the train, and they will definitely follow Yang Wenju...... What to do? He wanted to get out, but he was stared at by He Qixin, and once he showed his head, he could die!

Zhang Chi raised a gun in one hand, tore open a mail bag beside him with the other, touched it with his hand, it was full of books, he pulled out two books, and suddenly threw them to the front right!

How I heard the sound, I didn't care to look closely, and I shot two shots at the target! Relax your cheeks for a moment, rush to the door, and jump off the train!

Although Zhang Chi's skills are in the middle of the game with Zhou Chengbin, his understanding of trains is too far behind Tang Jitian, he stumbled and fell heavily on the ground, he struggled to get up, his left foot was in severe pain, and he limped to the railway embankment.

At this time, Asano arrived with more than 30 gendarmes in two trucks, and the light of the headlights in the night was particularly dazzling, and He Qixin also jumped off the train, running towards the truck while shouting: "Asano-kun, I am He Qixin!" Someone jumped out of the car and fled, hurry up and search! ”

Asano ordered with one click: "Get out of the car and turn on the searchlights!" It is a fan search, and it is possible to catch it alive! If you can't catch the living, you have to die! ”

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, I heard He Qixin still shouting: "He jumped out of the car earlier than me!" Search for ...... behind "Zhang Chi is extremely hateful, rushing at He Qixin, raising his hand is two shots!"

After the gunshots rang out, He Qixin suddenly lost his voice and fell to the ground! Asano ordered with one click: "You two, go over to reinforce Team Leader He, and the rest of the people, surround the target!" Keep your mouth alive! ”

Zhang Chi raised his gun to kill himself, pulled the trigger, but the gun did not sound, and the bullet was finished! Dozens of armed gendarmes slowly gathered around......
