At ten o'clock in the evening, the pedestrians on Huangpu Road decreased, but there was a wonton stall at the south end of the No. 1 Steel Bridge, and the business was very hot, with more than a dozen small tables, and each small table sat four people, these tall, short, fat and thin, with different clothes, not only men, but also women.

At this time, a rickshaw stopped at the intersection, Xiao Zhenlei wore a certain round felt hat, wore a gray cloth short suit, and carried a large backpack from the car, and threw a few copper plates to the driver, who took the money and ran away.

Xiao Zhenlei quickly observed the surrounding situation, and did not see Wang Yaqiao and the others, but he was interested in the chaos stall on the street where so many people ate chaos.

took out the pocket watch and saw that it was already time, why hadn't Wang Yaqiao and the others arrived yet? Xiao Zhenlei was puzzled, he decided to go to the chaos stall opposite to ask for a bowl of chaos, and waited while eating.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of chaos!" Walking to the chaos stall, Xiao Zhenlei shouted to the middle-aged boss who was busy.

The boss looked up and smiled: "Okay, please wait a moment if you are objective!" ”

Looking at the appearance of the boss, Xiao Zhenlei was shocked, he didn't expect that the boss of this chaos stall turned out to be Wang Yaqiao, and then turned his head to look at the people who were sitting and eating chaos, all of them were members of the secret operation team, these people were obviously disguised, and they couldn't tell that they were people engaged in secret professions at all.

Wang Yaqiao is worthy of being the assassination king in the history of the Republic of China, and this disguise skill alone is of great help to the assassination. Xiao Zhenlei thought in his heart, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and laugh in a low voice: "Okay, Brother Jiuguang, this secret operation team is really extraordinary under your leadership, I didn't recognize you when I walked to you!"

"Brother Huanyu has won the prize!" Wang Yaqiao smiled modestly and asked, "It's right to leave now." Or eat and go? ”

Xiao Zhenlei said in a low voice: "Don't worry, let everyone eat before acting, and bring me a bowl too!" ”

"Okay!"

Half an hour later, apart from this chaotic stall, there were no other pedestrians on the street. Xiao Zhenlei put down the spoon and shook his head at Wang Yaqiao, Wang Yaqiao nodded in response, then coughed twice, and made a gesture to the people who were looking over, everyone got up when they saw this, and followed Xiao Zhenlei along Huangpu Road to the south.

Even though it's a concession. But there were no pedestrians on the Huangpu Road near the river, and the street was very deserted, Xiao Zhenlei and Wang Yaqiao led everyone to a corner and brought out more than 20 carriages, and three or four people took a carriage to the south.

Originally, Xiao Zhenlei wanted to build some cars, preferably trucks to carry goods. But in this era, the automobile industry has just emerged, not to mention large trucks, even small cars are still very primitive, and the horsepower of diesel engines is still too small to tow many things, so they can only give up and use horse-drawn carriages.

"Brother Huanyu, where are we going to get weapons?" Wang Yaqiao, who was sitting in the same carriage, asked Xiao Zhenlei.

Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of his cigarette. Pointing to the pier ahead: "Look, there it is!" ”

Wang Yaqiao looked in the direction pointed by Xiao Zhenlei's finger, "Sixteen miles of piers? Brother Huanyu. You said we were going to the Sixteen Mile Pu Pier to get weapons? How can there be weapons on the docks? ”

Xiao Zhenlei just crossed over to work as a coolie at the wharf, the situation of the wharf can be said to be very understanding, the period of Sixteen Lipu Wharf is divided into two parts, one is military, the other is civilian, and the military wharf is in the north. The civilian dock is on the south side, and the military dock is generally docked with some small warships from various countries. Bear the task of repairing these warships.

According to Xiao Zhenlei's observations, there are several large warehouses in the civilian docks that are used by foreigners to store weapons. For example, the weapons that Jardine Matheson, Lihe and Mitsui are going to sell in China are basically stored in the warehouse of this wharf, and the wharf is guarded by special personnel, and if someone buys weapons from the foreign company, they only need to take the bill of lading issued by the foreign company to pick up the goods here.

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said: "There are several warehouses in the dock where foreigners store weapons, but all the weapons transported from the West are basically stored in these warehouses for sale, I have worked in this dock before, and I know the situation here!" ”

Wang Yaqiao thought about it, and had some worries in his heart, he said, "How are the guards?" If you wait for your hands to move, will you make too much movement? After this incident, will the concession be turned upside down? ”

After hearing this, Xiao Zhenlei took off the big backpack and opened it and said: "There are nine sets of patrol uniforms here, and two rifles and a few pistols, I will wear one set later, and you will choose eight brothers who are good and smart, change their clothes and follow me, let's go to the dock to approach the warehouse with a large number of weapons in the name of checking security, so as to kill those guards, you leave the two brothers at the gate of the dock to watch the wind, and then take the other brothers to quickly control the other people in the dock, you must first control the office of the dock, Prevent someone from calling to report to the patrol room, and after I finish off the soldiers guarding the weapons warehouse, you can bring someone to drive the carriage over to move things, what do you think of this deployment? ”

Wang Yaqiao thought about it after listening to Xiao Zhenlei's plan, nodded and said, "I think it's feasible, so let's do it!" ”

"Good!"

Xiao Zhenlei immediately took out all the contents of the backpack and assembled those gun parts into two rifles, in addition to the two rifles, there was also a revolver and four box guns, Xiao Zhenlei took the revolver, two rifles were to be given to the brother in the patrol uniform, and the other four box guns were left for Wang Yaqiao.

Soon, more than 20 carriages arrived near the gate of the dock, Xiao Zhenlei jumped out of the carriage to stop all the carriages behind, Wang Yaqiao jumped down and made a gesture to the back, more than 40 members of the action team all gathered, Xiao Zhenlei's action steps were explained in detail, and after speaking, he asked: "Is there anyone else who is not clear?" ”

No one spoke, Xiao Zhenlei nodded and said, "Okay, since it's all clear, Brother Jiuguang, you pick eight people to come out and put on patrol clothes, two of them are carrying rifles, and the others are holding batons!" ”

Wang Yaqiao nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed at the eight brothers in a row, after these eight people were pointed out, each of them took a set of uniforms and put them on, two of them carried rifles, and after all of them were cleaned up, Xiao Zhenlei observed left and right, and found no pedestrians, and immediately waved his hand to signal them to follow him, and these eight people immediately lined up in two columns to follow Xiao Zhenlei.

"Open the door, open the door, open the door!" At Xiao Zhenlei's signal, a brother walked to the big iron gate of the dock with a baton and shouted and knocked.

A sleepy-eyed man came out of the door next to him, yawning and muttering, "What are you doing?" Who's yelling outside so late? ”

The brother who knocked on the door put on a cold face and didn't speak, but just looked coldly at the porter man who came over, the man walked in and saw that there were two teams of patrols standing at the door, and he suddenly lost his sleepiness, and immediately put on a smile and said: "Oh, it turned out to be your poor masters, please forgive me for my clumsy eyes, I didn't see clearly for a while, I don't know what you are doing here late at night?" ”

The brother knocked on the iron door with a baton and scolded: "Nonsense, the street has not been very peaceful recently, and we have been ordered by the head to take us to the dock to check the safety, why don't you open the door quickly?" Let's go back to bed early after we're done checking! ”

"Ah, yes, yes, it turned out to be a routine inspection, brother, why didn't you say it earlier, the small one will open the door!" The man put on a smile and took out the key to open the door lock, after the iron door was opened, the two teams of brothers walked in in a neat line, Xiao Zhenlei pointed to the man and said: "You, follow us with a horse lantern and show us the way!" ”

"Yes, yes, Inspector, I'm going to get the lantern!" The porter man said yes and ran into the porter, and after a while he walked out with a bright horse lantern, in fact, there are electric lights everywhere in the dock, which can be described as brightly lit, but some corners are still very dark and need to be illuminated by horse lanterns.

After Xiao Zhenlei took the porter away, Wang Yaqiao walked into the dock with the remaining thirty or so brothers, leaving the two brothers at the door to watch the wind, and said to Ma Xiaoshuang: "Xiaoshuang, give you two guns, you take six people to the office, control all the people inside, tie them up with ropes, gag their mouths so that they don't scream, don't shoot until you have to, you know?" ”

"Yes, Brother Wang!" Ma Xiaoshuang agreed, and ordered six brothers to go with him.

After Ma Xiaoshuang took the people away, Wang Yaqiao said to the others: "Go, follow me to the dormitory, block everyone in the dormitory, and don't let anyone go!" ”

The wharf is also guarded and managed, there are many warehouses in the wharf, and there are a lot of goods stored in the warehouse, and when there are many goods, even the open field of the wharf is stacked with countless goods, these goods are very valuable things, and there are many people involved in the guarding and management, so there are dormitories, especially the Western soldiers who guard the arms warehouse, these people have guns.

The dock office was brightly lit, and several strong men were drinking wine around a table of money, and there were peanuts and other snacks on the table.

In another office, a few people were pushing pai gow, and the dominoes were rattling on the table. Ma Xiaoshuang and his six brothers sneaked under the window and stuck out their heads to observe the situation in the two offices.

"You four go over there, tie up the four people who push pai gow, and the others follow me!"

The four brothers nodded, one of them walking in front with a box cannon, and three men followed behind with machetes.

Ma Xiaoshuang kicked open the door of the office on the left with a heavy kick with a box cannon, and with a "clang" sound, the door was kicked open, Ma Xiaoshuang was the first to rush in and point a gun at the people inside, and several men inside were immediately frightened to wake up when they saw this.

"Raise your hands, don't move, but don't blame my brother for not reminding you, whoever moves will kill whom!" Ma Xiaoshuang said and shook his head to the two brothers who followed him: "Untie their trouser belts and tie them up!" ”

At the end of Ma Xiaoshuang's side, another office also ended, and the four guys who pushed pai gow were all charged. (To be continued) R655
