Xiao Xiong smiled and said to Wang Panfan:

"Brother Wang, listen to Brother Ma, last time on the dock, you helped open the door of the devil's dispatch room and helped us get the devil's dispatch record. You helped us obtain important information about the devil, and you also made contributions to the resistance, aren't you also a hero of the resistance? ”

"Am I also a hero of resistance?" Wang Panfan was very surprised, "Just because I helped you get the devil's things?" ”

"Yes, as long as anyone who has contributed to the resistance is a hero."

Xiao Xiong said with a smile and gave him a thumbs up. Wang Panfan suddenly felt as if he had changed into a different person, the blood on his body suddenly surged up to his head, and he felt that his face was hot and hot. Originally, I just felt that such a major event was so far away from me, and I always thought that it was someone else's business, and I just needed to be a policeman in this troubled world and have a bowl of rice to eat. I never thought that I had inadvertently done a beneficial thing for the resistance.

Wang Panfan suddenly felt that his original thoughts were so naïve, and a sense of pride that he had never felt before arose, he looked at Xiao Xiong, who was smiling at him, and said earnestly:

"Commander Xiao, can I join your Einsatzgruppen?"

"Okay, haven't you done something for us a long time ago? We're sure we're warmly welcome. If you have already decided to participate, you will be placed under Ma Changyong's command and under his command. May I? ”

"Yes! Thank you, Commander Xiao. ”

With a "snap", Wang Panfan put his feet close together, stood up straight, and saluted Xiao Xiong.

"You're welcome to the team, brother." Ma Changyong went up and hugged Wang Panfan, patted him on the shoulder and laughed happily.

"Brother Ma, is it really to learn to pick locks when you come to me tonight?"

"Yes. We're going to have an action tomorrow, and we may be preparing to pick the lock, so I'm going to invite you here and teach us all to pick the lock. ”

"Okay, there's absolutely no problem in teaching everyone to pick locks. Commander, I have one more request. ”

"Just say it."

"Can I follow you tomorrow?"

"You've just joined the team, and tomorrow's operation is more dangerous, so you should not participate in this operation."

Xiao Xiong said with concern, "You just need to teach us how to pick locks." ”

Wang Panfan pondered for a while, shook his head and said:

"Commander, there's a knack for unlocking. If it's just a general lock, I can keep it and everyone can learn it quickly, but to open a more advanced lock, especially a combination lock, it can't be learned in a day or two. It took me two months to learn how to open a combination lock. What if tomorrow you are going to open a combination lock in action? Wouldn't that be difficult to accomplish? ”

Wang Panfan's words stunned Xiao Xiong and the others. Yes, if there is no professional level of lockpicking, they will be helpless when they encounter the locks that are difficult to open. Xiao Xiong and Gao Qixing exchanged glances, and everyone felt that there was no other way than to bring Wang Panfan.

Xiao Xiong said to Wang Panfan:

"Okay, Brother Wang, you can follow us tomorrow."

"Hey, okay. Tomorrow I will promise to complete the mission. However, just in case, let's learn how to pick locks first. ”

After speaking, Wang Panfan took out a lot of tools such as steel wires, hammers, and pliers from his baggage, and put a lot of various locks that he and Ma Changyong took from the hardware store, and told everyone.

He started from the type and structure of the lock, and explained the principle of the lock very clearly. Everyone could still understand it at the time, especially after the reading ability opened the general padlock, one by one they were even more excited, and they began to try to make some locks with a more complex structure. However, none of the Einsatzgruppen present could open it anymore.

At this time, everyone really knows the difficulty of unlocking. Then, Wang Panfan performed the opening process of the password lock on the spot.

He took out a relatively small combination lock dial, locked it firmly first, and then turned it slowly, he told everyone to listen carefully to the sound of turning, and if they heard a soft "pop" sound, remember the number until all the numbers were heard. Then turn the dial and turn the number you just heard into place, so that you can open the lock. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the combination lock to be opened by him.

The others were also eager to try, remembering what Wang Panfan had just said, and then tried to turn the lock plate over and over again, but in the end everyone still found nothing.

It's not too early to see the time, although everyone's interest in unlocking is very high, Xiao Xiong still asked everyone to stop.

He first briefly discussed with Gao Qixing, Li Minghua, Liu Junshan and others for a while, and left a few chiefs and Ma Changyong and Wang Panfan behind. Then let the others go and rest first.

Xiao Xiong made a specific arrangement for tomorrow's operation, and Gao Qixing and others led a special team of more than 400 people in Jiujiang to secretly hide around the Jiujiang Railway Station, waiting for an opportunity to launch a feint. Regardless of the success or failure of the operation, their task is to attract the devil for 30 minutes, and when the time comes, they will quickly retreat and not fall in love.

Wang Yantai led all the men and horses of the water guerrillas to hide on the shore of Baishui Lake to meet them, and after Xiao Xiong and them withdrew, they then sailed into the Yangtze River along the small river flowing into the river and drove to Jiangxinzhou.

And the most important people who went to the Devil's City Defense Headquarters to perform tasks were really only Xiao Xiong himself, Ma Changyong, and Wang Panfan. Li Minghua and Liu Junshan led the hunter team to meet nearby, blocking the devils who might be pursuing, and covering the safe evacuation of Xiao Xiong and the others.

Everyone didn't say anything, just looked at their chief with worried eyes, they really didn't worry about letting Xiao Xiong take this risk. But apart from Xiao Xiong and the three of them, there is really no one who can replace them to complete this task. Because now Xiao Xiong is the only one who can speak fluently, Ma Changyong and Wang Panfan can basically understand the language, and can speak some simple language, and because of the task of unlocking, Wang Panfan can only rely on Wang Panfan to complete it alone.

After everyone rested, Xiao Xiong carefully considered tomorrow's plan of action. From the time of departure to the destination, the problems that may be encountered on the road, the time to arrive at the city defense headquarters, and the problems that may be encountered when entering, he carefully studied every detail. I'm afraid that something is missing, because the success or failure of this mission may be related to the victory or defeat of the entire battle situation in the Ninth War Zone.

Because this mission is a place heavily guarded by devils, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the current strength of the Einsatzgruppen to attack, so it can only be outwitted.

At noon the next day, Ma Changyong led Xiao Xiong, Wang Panfan, and several other brothers at the police station, who had already put on police uniforms, to set off from Baishui Lake and patrol along the river in the direction of the Devil's City Defense Headquarters.

Along the way, because Ma Changyong and others have been policemen in Jiujiang for several years, they are already very familiar with the streets and alleys of this small Jiangcheng. A group of people walked through the streets and alleys, observing and surveying repeatedly along the road. From noon to afternoon, they ran almost all the streets and alleys that could be walked from the Shuangfeng Primary School where the Devil's City Defense Headquarters was stationed to the hidden place on the edge of Baishui Lake, and determined the best route for retreating tonight.

Back at the station, Xiao Xiong told Li Minghua the route, drew a specific route map for him, and asked him to arrange people according to the route map and do a good job of receiving him.

Then, Xiao Xiong specially trained and strengthened the words of Ma Changyong and Wang Panfan. He kept talking to the two of them, demanding that they could basically pick them up, and also asked them to only talk in Chinese, not answer in Chinese, and only ask questions in Chinese.

Because the two of them have been police officers for a long time, through this kind of training, if it is just a simple conversation, they are basically fine. If you don't dig deeper, you really can't see that they are Chinese, and they really look like two ghosts.

Xiao Xiong told them that he paid great attention to the concept of hometown, and if anyone asked about it, they would say that their hometown was Osaka, and later moved to Tokyo, so they would not doubt your accent.

It was finally dark, and according to the original plan, Gao Qixing and Li Minghua should be in their places.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Xiong, who was wearing a devil's military uniform and a lieutenant rank embedded in the collar badge, led two "devils" to set off, Ma Changyong pretended to be a second lieutenant officer of the devil, and Wang Panfan pretended to be a senior soldier of the devil. They took the rickshaw pulled by the rangers to the Yanshui Pavilion not far from the city defense headquarters.

When they came to the Yanshui Pavilion, the three of them quickly took the military police armbands and began to patrol along the road by the lake.

Soon, I saw a three-wheeled motorcycle driving in front of me, the devil in the car may have been drunk, and while singing the song, he shouted loudly, and the motorcycle drove crookedly towards Xiao Xiong and them.

Xiao Xiong whispered to Ma Changyong and the others:

"Attention! Here's the opportunity, keep up with me. ”

The three of them walked quickly to the middle of the road and blocked the front of the motorcycle. The devil who was driving suddenly found that there was someone in front of him in the middle of the road, quickly braked, and scolded in his mouth:

"Yaga, look for death."

Three devils jumped out of the car with guns in hand.

Before they could stand firm, Xiao Xiong had already seen their ranks, and it turned out to be three devil soldiers. He stepped forward, picked up his arm, and aimed at the devil who was driving, and scolded:

"Baga, the face of the imperial army has been lost by you. Which troops? What for? ”

When the three devil soldiers came to their senses and saw that they were officers of the gendarmerie, they were so frightened that they quickly stood upright and hurriedly replied:

"Sir, we are the troops of the 20th Mixed Brigade left behind in Jiujiang, responsible for logistics and transportation."

"Yaga, our troops are about to attack the Shina army, and the soldiers in front are fighting bloody battles for the emperor's honor card, but you are drinking and merry here. Get out of here, and tell your boss to come to the gendarmerie tomorrow to get the motorcycle. ”

Xiao Xiong kicked the devil driver's buttocks, and the three devil soldiers fled with a crawl.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the devil, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and then hurriedly got on the motorcycle, driven by Ma Changyong, and they drove towards the city defense headquarters of the devil of Shuangfeng Primary School.
