Chapter 152: Clues
At the moment when the box was lifted, the center of gravity of the huge box was unstable, and nearly half of the weight of hundreds of catties of cabbage was squeezed towards him. For a while, Chen Tian felt that the pressure on his body was extremely heavy!
Fortunately, Chen Tian's physical fitness is close to the peak of a normal person, so he can barely hold on and not get injured. And a few coolies who were carrying the work complained: "This box is dead!" These cabbages have mutated! ”
The foreman next to him smiled: "You have moved canned food for a trip, and you don't have the strength!" Japanese Taijun can say, those who help carry the work, there are rewards, in addition to the good salary, everyone can also get a can! ”
The man who carried the work complained while carrying it: "It's not fake to give canned food." But the canned food I received last time didn't taste very good. When my son, who knew how to count, saw that it was all five or six years ago. It is estimated that the Japanese princes really don't want to eat it, so they gave it to us! ”
"That is, these Japanese people in Shanghai don't worry about eating and drinking at all on weekdays. There are people who pay homage all day long. The rations issued by the army were not willing to be eaten. It's really a great way to burn buns. ”
The foreman said angrily: "Hurry up and get to work!" Annoyed the Japanese Taijun, we have to go around without eating! ”
In the midst of the coolies' complaints, Chen Tian felt that he was being staggered to the Daimyo Pill. Although I was miserable by the weight of hundreds of catties of cabbage, fortunately, there was no danger. After a moment, Chen Tian felt the box fall to the ground. Through the box, you can hear the shouts of the Japanese soldiers and the voices of the people on the dock. Come to think of it, I have already arrived in the warehouse where Daimyomaru stores his supplies.
Chen Tian's eyes were dark, and dozens of catties of cabbage were pressed on his head, which was not comfortable. But there are always gaps between the vegetables, and the air is quite fresh and not stuffy. Chen Tian lurked in the darkness, waiting for night to fall and the Japanese on the daimyo maru to sleep. If all goes well. Then there is no need to follow the original plan and inquire about detailed information, you can directly start and use the arms on the Daimyo Pill to blow up and sink the Daimyo Maru!
After entering the realm of sincerity, Chen Tian's senses became extremely acute. The feeling of the unity of heaven and man allows him to perceive the changes in the outside world even in the dark. He could vaguely know when night was falling, and the approximate time.
So, at midnight. When Chen Tian noticed that most of the Japanese on the Daimyo Maru had fallen into a deep sleep, and most of the Japanese on duty were also drowsy, he got out of the box. Shaking his muscles, he crept quietly out of the warehouse.
In fact, except for cruise ships, which are known for their comfort and user-friendly design, taking a boat is not a comfortable thing. For those who are accustomed to living on land, the stairs and aisles on the boat are too narrow. However, for the military. The benefits of this narrow design are obvious. It only takes a few people to completely guard all the aisles of a boat.
Of course, for Chen Tian, there are still many loopholes to exploit in this kind of guard. A Japanese sentry on the Daimyo Maru. Because I was in a port guarded by Japanese soldiers, I felt extremely safe, so I felt that it was unoccupied in the middle of the night. I also began to yawn sleepily.
Just a yawn was enough for Chen Tian to dodge past and avoid the eyes of the Japanese. And the cabin on the Daimyo Maru where the munitions were stored and the cabin where the supplies were stored were extremely far apart. Chen Tian only flashed past two sentry posts and found the place where the munitions were stored.
What made Chen Tian speechless was that there was no special sentry in the cabin where the arms were stored. The Japanese seem to be very confident in their security system. Therefore, the only thing Chen Tian can do is to keep the sound as low as possible when opening the door so as not to alarm the other Japanese.
The cabin is full of Japanese equipment. Chen Tian roughly counted the ammunition and light weapons that consumed relatively quickly in this batch of munitions. A large number of bullets and standard shells were secured and stored in the hold of the ship in accordance with strict regulations, in case of accidents due to impact when the hull swayed.
Although after the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces, they began to build arsenals in China and began to produce some munitions. However, China in this era was a country with an imperfect industrial system, and the operating costs of maintaining the arsenal were extremely high. Moreover, some of the workers in the arsenal were Chinese, which really made the Japanese extremely uneasy. Therefore, the yield has not been high. It was still necessary to rely on domestic production to maintain the consumption of arms caused by the Japanese invasion.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for the Japanese to ship arms to China one by one. However, this kind of information about the transportation of arms is generally within the scope of secrecy of the Japanese army, and the number of leaks is very rare. Ye Wuguang and Chen Tian were lucky enough to inquire about it once. The Japanese never imagined that someone would sneak into the interior of a transport ship in this way. If you were a different person, you would have been squeezed to death by the cabbages in the box.
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger. Since he came, Chen Tian would not be polite. The Japanese did not have explosive packs in their munitions, but there were quite a few grenades and grenades. Chen Tian tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, then removed the silk thread from the cloth and connected it into a slender and strong thread. And with this thread are strung on the pull tabs of as many grenades and grenades as possible. Subsequently, Chen Tian dismantled the various specifications and formats of pills that were fixed and packaged in the warehouse. Scatter them on the ground. In order to make the ammunition cause as many collisions as possible with each other when exploding! Cause an explosion on the largest possible scale.
Disassembling ammunition is not an easy task. With Chen Tian's physical strength, he was also busy all night. When it was almost dawn, all the ammunition that had been packed and fixed was dismantled by Chen Tian. Chen Tian decided to leave.
Before leaving, two strings of silk threads connected by two pieces of clothing, hundreds of grenades and grenades were hung on the door. As soon as someone pulls open the door, these two wires are pulled, and thus the pull rings of hundreds of grenades and grenades are pulled. Although the force may not be uniform, as long as a hundred grenades or grenades explode at the same time, the arsenal will be exploded!
After everything was done, Chen Tian closed the door and left the cabin where the munitions were stored. Silently bypassed the sentry that was already asleep on the table. Walk over to the empty deck. When he felt that no one was paying attention, he jumped from the ship into the river.
After all, the sound of Chen Tian falling into the water alarmed a Japanese sentry. However, when the night was dark, when this Japanese sentry looked at the place where Chen Tian fell into the water, the ripples of the river had calmed down, and Chen Tian had disappeared into the river, and there was no trace.
Only a few moments after Chen Tian left, it was time for the Japanese to have morning exercises. The bell rang and the sleeping Japanese dodged up. Start your morning exercises. After the morning exercise. It's breakfast time. After breakfast, the Japanese on the daimyo maru had their own duties, some had to clean up, and some had to overhaul the machinery and equipment. Of course, the daily inventory and inspection of materials are also indispensable.
So the Japanese were very surprised to find that in the supplies sent yesterday, there were inexplicably missing more than a dozen cabbages. The inspector was furious: "Baga! Who dares to steal it! After counting the supplies, the inspector angrily went to the cabin where the munitions were stored. As he opened the door, the Japanese man heard a soft knock behind the door. Then, he saw something that he would never forget for the rest of his life. A scene where hundreds of grenades and grenades explode at the same time in front of him!
Of course, including this Japanese, but all the Japanese who are closer to the Daimyo Maru have nothing in their lives! Some can only be in the next life! Hundreds of grenades and grenades exploding at the same time in a split second are immensely powerful! And the resulting impact caused the other ammunition in the arsenal that had been dismantled by Chen Tian in advance to explode one after another!
The chain of reactions was extremely strong. Shanghai Tang port in the early morning, but I heard a hoarse and twisted muffled sound. Then I saw the flames rise into the sky. The deck of the Daimyo Maru seems to have been split open by a huge blade. Tear in an instant! The deck was tossed up by a huge explosion! Immediately, the hull of the Daimyo Maru broke almost from the middle and twisted into two!
At the same time, the huge explosion also affected other ships moored in the harbor. A huge shock wave tore some wooden boats apart directly. Even the modern ships were hit like a huge impact, and the fragile buildings on the deck were shattered in an instant.
Ten minutes later. The daimyo pill, which had almost broken in half and was blazing, sank into the river. Although the water in this port is relatively deep, after the sinking of the transport ship Daimyo Maru, the water depth must be insufficient. For some of the larger vessels. It's a reef everywhere!
The port was abandoned in a short period of time.
At this time, Chen Tian had already dived out of the river and climbed ashore. Seeing the flames rising from the harbor, I knew that it had been done. It is estimated that the lives of hundreds of devils in Daimyo Maru will also be lost! The heart is very happy. Knowing that he hadn't worked in vain this night, he looked up to the sky and laughed. Leave immediately!
And when Chen Tianyang left, there was already chaos on the port wharf. The Japanese thought it was an enemy attack. They were very confident in the quality and system of the Imperial Japanese Army, and they would never believe that an explosion of this magnitude could be caused by the mistakes of their own people. Therefore, the Japanese Navy, the Japanese Gendarmerie, and the Shanghai Dispatch Army stationed in Shanghai all sent a large number of men.
Fortunately, Chen Tian ran fast. Otherwise, the encirclement and vigilance of the three outer layers here would block Chen Tian's way back. The spiritual consciousness of the realm of sincerity is not omnipotent. Once there are more people, there are no blind spots in the field of vision, and there is no room to hide even in the realm of sincerity, and sooner or later it will be discovered!
There were very few survivors on the Daimyo Maru, more than a hundred crew members, and only seven or eight survived. The explosion was so violent that almost everyone on the ship was shattered apart by the shock wave of the explosion. When he was scooped up, he was already hopeless. Only a few lucky people who cleaned up on the deck saw the opportunity when the boat exploded, and at the moment of the explosion, they actively or passively fell into the river and swam away.
However, these survivors are little more than minions. The captain, the first mate, and more than a dozen middle managers have survived! Even the bones could not be recovered. Therefore, the Japanese have also stagnated in their investigation of some details. I only know that the day after the Daimyo Maru docked, he had already completed most of the supply loading tasks according to the plan, and during this time, he strictly followed the procedures, and the monitoring was very strict, and there were no mistakes. The investigation stalled.
However, according to other Japanese forces, the search of the surrounding ports and Shanghai Beach was not an enemy attack. On the contrary, it was the crew's mistake that caused the explosion of the arsenal. And this can only be concluded after the hull has been salvaged.
And such a violent explosion affected far more than the Japanese crew in this port and on board. After the explosion was basically judged to be not an enemy attack, Matsui Ishine of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army received a severe reprimand from the emperor, and the command of the Japanese Combined Fleet also received relevant punishments. After all, this was the largest non-combat attrition since the Japanese invasion of China, and it took place in the cosmopolitan port of Shanghai Tang, which simply threw the face of the Great Japanese Empire into the Pacific Ocean!
But when the Japanese were busy picketing themselves and fighting with each other, No. 76 under Nanzao Yunzi found dozens of cabbages thrown into the river by Chen Tian!
In Shanghai, there is a profession that does not have a name, but it does exist. People in this profession live from floating objects in the Huangpu River, each own a wrecked boat, and are familiar with the nature of the water. Every day, he walks up and down the Huangpu River, salvaging objects that are floating or have sunk into the river and exchanging them for money.
The nature of this profession is similar to picking up rags, but the profits are far more lucrative than picking up rags! There are basically no endless boats coming and going to Shanghai Tang, and they always carry all kinds of goods. Some of these goods can see the light, while others can't. In addition, it often falls into the river for various unknown reasons. Sometimes, there are even one or two corpses with jewels and gold watches.
Therefore, these people who survive by salvaging these items on the Huangpu River sometimes find tobacco, sometimes munitions, and sometimes chests full of jewels, gold and silver. Then he became rich overnight, got rid of this profession, and flew away.
Of course, in an industry, there are always people who mix well and people who mix poorly. Some people are lucky enough to catch gold, silver and jewelry, while others are unlucky enough to catch only a few fish or a bunch of rotten vegetable leaves. Being able to catch dozens of intact cabbages is enough for a family to have a fat year. And this person who caught cabbage didn't have a door on his mouth, and he said it when he met people, and he was beaming. Soon, the poor people in the shantytown of Shanghai Tang knew about it, and No. 76, who cast his net all over the ground to inquire for information, naturally also knew about it. (To be continued.) )
