No. 14 Baoshanli is a small building with a single courtyard, because of the Hankou Russian Concession, although there are a lot of people in and out every day, but there is nothing to do Indian patrol officers will not care, after all, there are many Chinese doing business in the concession, and there are more busy than this ().

As soon as Liu Tong arrived at the door, he saw Tang Zihong, a member of the party, and saw that he was wrapped in a thick roll of things under his ribs and hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Brother Tang, what are you?" ”

Tang Zihong is an old man in the society, and he has been in charge of peripheral work since he decided to raise the incident, and he also admires Liu Gong for donating so much money, not to mention that Liu Gong is still the prime minister of the internal designation, so he didn't hide it when he saw that it was his younger brother, and said: "This is the Eighteen-Star Flag, which we just made in time." ”

"Eighteen Star Banner? Show me okay? ”

Liu Tong had never seen the Eighteen-Star Flag, so he was very curious, because there were no outsiders in Tang Zihong, he simply unfolded the flag, the flag was more than one person high, and it was wider than his arms after being unfolded.

Tang Zihong saw that Liu Tong didn't understand, and explained: "The black nine horns represent the Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yong Jiuzhou recorded in the "Yu Gong", and the 18 small yellow stars represent the 18 provinces, and the 18 provinces work together to unify and overthrow the Manchu Tartars. ”

"Really!" Liu Tong's eyes flashed with excitement: "Then on the day of the uprising, this flag will be planted in the Governor's Palace?" ”

"Of course, not only to the governor's palace, but also to the city gates, barracks, yamen, and even street entrances, when you walk on the street, you are the younger brother of the prime minister of the military government, but you are majestic!"

The more Tang Zihong spoke, the more excited he became, but Liu Tong suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked, "No, why are there only eighteen provinces?" Northeast China, Mongolia, Tibet and Xinjiang are not in it. ”

Tang Zihong's expression froze, and he said: "Those are all alien lands, and the Northeast is the hometown of the Tartars, how can it be marked in the banner of my Han people!" After speaking, he ignored Liu Tong and left angrily.

Liu Tong stuck out his tongue, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, but thinking of Tang Zihong saying just now that he was about to become the prime minister's younger brother and a senior official of the military government, his heart suddenly itched, so he couldn't help but run to Sun Wu's room, wanting to ask when he was going to do something.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Sun Wu holding a basin, and there was a lot of yellow and black powder in the basin, which was carefully wrapped in thick gauze and stuffed into an iron shell. Liu Tong saw that there were drops of sweat on his head, and he thought he was very tired, so he kindly took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Brother Sun, come and relieve your fatigue." ”

Sun Wu didn't pay attention when he saw that it was Liu Tong, because he couldn't be distracted, so he didn't look at it and said no. Liu Tong didn't get angry when he saw this, and after lighting a cigarette on his own, he asked, "Brother Sun, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed for several days, when will you do something?" ”

"Soon, soon, wait for this." Sun Wu was too attentive, and as he spoke, he stuffed gunpowder into the cloth roll, but as soon as he stuffed it, he suddenly smelled a smell of smoke, and when he raised the corner of his eye, he found that Liu Tong was actually smoking next to him, so frightened that his whole back was sweating, and he suddenly shouted: "What are you doing!" How can you smoke here! ”

Liu Tong was only sixteen years old, his heart was unstable, he was frightened by Sun Wu like this, and the cigarette he was holding fell down into the basin unconsciously, and before the two of them could react, they only heard a muffled sound of "boom", and the flames rushed up from the basin. ”

Liu Tong was stupid, knowing that this time he had made a big disaster, so he hurriedly ran out.

Tang Zihong and others were checking the flags and other things next door, and hurriedly rushed over when they heard the call, but at this time, they saw that the fire was already running all over the house, and they hurriedly used clothes and bedding to put out the fire ().

But the fire was too big, and because there were still a lot of unloaded explosives here, Sun Wu didn't care about the pain in his face, so he asked everyone to move things quickly. At this moment, several hurried sirens sounded, and everyone suddenly screamed badly, so they had to drag Sun Wu out of the back door.

The sound of the whistle sounded throughout the Russian Concession, and the smoke billowed from the entire Baoshan, and the Indian patrol of the brigade began to surround it, and after a while, many Russian soldiers also came, which made Sun Wu, who was hiding in the corner of the street and preparing to take the opportunity to grab things and eliminate the traces, could only stomp his feet, gritted his teeth and said: "Go to the French Concession and find Deng Yulin." ”

The sudden disaster from the sky made almost everyone stunned, especially when they saw more and more patrols and soldiers coming, everyone could only hug Sun Wu and run along the alley to the Japanese concession.

The words were divided into two ends, when Liu Tong walked into Baoshanli with a cigarette in his mouth, Yang Qiu was also taking Yue Peng and several entourages, dressed in casual clothes, to wander around and inspect the terrain on Xinsheng Road, where the Hua District and the concession meet.

Yue Peng introduced: "Xinsheng Road is the intersection of the Chinese boundary and the concession, there are a total of four roads can enter the concession, the roads are relatively wide, and there are also railways on the side of Dazhimen to enter the concession, these days I took people to see a few days, most of the time the road into the concession is guarded by the Indian patrol, but the Japanese soldiers often come, and they are very strict, last time also hit a few passers-by who are ready to borrow the road from here." ”

"Tamad, who is also Japanese, really don't know why the rebels still like the Japanese so much, and the sign they put up "proletarians are not allowed to live inside", grandma! It's the same as "Chinese and dogs are not allowed"?! "The name of the speaker is Ke Shao, he is a big man, not only one of the first machine gunners to learn to use a machine gun, but also because he is straightforward and more neutral, he was promoted when Yue Peng was acting as a pipe band.

Yue Peng glared at him, signaled to whisper, and continued: "A team (company) can basically block Xinsheng Road, close to the riverside is the China Merchants Bureau and the Customs Building, and the patrol room is also there.

Only Dazhimen is more chaotic, the road over there is narrow, and there are many forks, and it is a railway station, there will be a lot of fleeing crowds, at least two teams can block ()! The rest is simple, there is a railway and waterway wharf in and out of Hankou, and the foreigner wharf is not allowed to be used by the Chinese, so as long as the southeast two gates are blocked, and the wharf in the Chinese area is blocked, it can be completely blocked. ”

"You also need to make up your mind at the telephone bureau, cut off the phone to Wuchang immediately after the start, and the telegraph office must be blocked as soon as possible, in a word, the Chinese area must be completely blocked."

"The telegraph office is fine, but the phone foreigner contacts Wuchang is also taking this line, will it be cut off?" Before Yue Peng's worries were finished, Yang Qiu smiled and said: "It's not ten days and a half months, and the foreigners won't be good in two days at most, it's a big deal that after they look for you, you will say that it was blown up, and it is being repaired, and it must be restored as soon as possible." ”

Yue Peng thought about it, it may not be really good to cut off the foreigners in a short time, and said with a smile: "It's no big problem to blockade Hankou, as long as I act quickly, I can guarantee that Wuchang won't get news overnight, but what do you think of those bandits and merchants?" ”

"You can do it yourself." Yang Qiu thought for a while and said, "I don't care about the rest, but Han Yeping has a branch in Hankou, so you can find a way to move and pay attention to controlling the heat." ”

Han Yeping! Yue Peng was taken aback, and just as he was about to speak, a piercing alarm whistle sounded in the Russian concession in the distance, followed by a large puff of smoke rising into the sky.

Seeing the smoke, Yang Qiu's body shook suddenly, and he hurriedly rushed towards the British Concession, and when he arrived at the Russian Concession area, he vaguely saw more than a dozen panicked people carrying a young man who seemed to be burned into a Japanese medical center.

When he wanted to go over and have a look, a large number of concession soldiers and police blocked the streets to prevent them from moving forward, Yue Peng hurriedly squeezed to the front, and saw a German soldier hurriedly asked in German: "Please tell me, what happened?" ”

Probably didn't expect to hear the language of his hometown in a foreign country, but the German soldier didn't hide it, and said: "Damn the Russians, they took in some southern guys, and now something has happened, this place will be blocked, you should leave quickly." ”

Yue Peng had often gone to the German Concession before, and his face suddenly changed when he heard this sentence, because German soldiers liked to use southerners instead of party members, so he immediately guessed the general thing ().

"What time is it today?" Thinking of this, Yue Peng pulled Ke Shao over, who thought something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "August 18, just three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, have you forgotten?" ”

Yue Peng's eyes turned to look at Yang Qiu, he had always felt that Yang Qiu's "assertion" should be analyzed by clues, after all, he was already a standard, and he could get in touch with many high-level secrets, but now he felt that he was really a god!

There is no doubt that the Russian ambassador will hand over the situation to the other side of the strait later, and Ruicheng, who has been worried about it lately, will definitely take this as an opportunity. And from a military point of view, launching an offensive while the enemy has not yet fully gained a foothold is the best option for the weaker side, and those party members will definitely launch it if they want to protect themselves!

Yang Qiu doesn't know how to describe it, this is a very complicated mentality, what is it like to watch famous historical events happen around him, within reach, and even have the ability to redeem them? Itching, soreness, numbness, pain, etc., are all mixed together and uncomfortable! But selfishly told him that if he wants to rise in this troubled era and get enough support, he not only needs guns, but also fame and victory! So he needs this momentum!

He is not an immortal, he can't stop Beiyang with this bit of people, not to mention that he is still "infamous", so he needs to borrow Wuchang's rights even more, and he needs to use a war to justify himself and establish the status of a hero! Establish a new coordinate for this country! I can't force myself to rush in to take a look, but the most important thing is to endure it, there are some things he can't take care of, and he doesn't want to care!

"Let's go, it's time for martial law in a moment." Yang Qiu sighed dejectedly, and when he turned his head and resolutely went back with Yue Peng and others with a frightened face, there was already chaos in a hospital in the Japanese concession, watching the Japanese doctor Kono carefully treat Sun Wu's burns, and Deng Yulin and the others next to him were already so nervous that they couldn't speak.

A piece of scorched skin made Sun Wu gasp, Kono and Sun Wu knew each other, and hurriedly said: "Sun Sang, you can be distracted by me, in case something happens, I can bring a letter to my consulate and ask them to take you to Shanghai by warship." ”

Sun Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kono, for your friendship, can I talk to them first?" ”

"Of course ()." Kono bandaged the wound and led the Japanese assistant out of the ward, but immediately pressed his ear to it after closing the door.

The people in the ward didn't know that Kono was eavesdropping, and Sun Wu was anxious, because there was a roster in Baoshan, which recorded all the party members in the three towns, so he couldn't care about the pain and asked, "What's going on outside?" Baoshanli. ”

"Baoshanli was raided by the Russian patrol, and I saw that they loaded everything into a wagon and handed it over to the old dog Ruicheng, and." Seeing Deng Yulin hesitating, Sun Wu hurriedly patted the bed: "Say it quickly, what's wrong!" ”

"When Liu Gong heard about this, he was so anxious that he sent Liu Tong and Li Shuqing back to get the roster, but I didn't expect to be arrested, and I don't know what the situation is now, but I have already notified everyone to evacuate as soon as possible." Deng Yulin didn't dare to flicker anymore, gritted his teeth and said: "Now the situation is urgent, many comrades don't know what to do, Bo Kui has rushed back, and now we need it." ”

Everyone knew what Deng Yulin meant, and they all looked at Sun Wu on the hospital bed.

Sun Wu was very unwilling, originally there was a conflict between the Communist Association and the Society, but now he finally raised the Communist Association to the level with the Society, and he saw that he could use their strength in the army to let the whole country know his name, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen at a critical moment.

But he also understands that the roster must have been sent to Rui Cheng and Zhang Biao, and there are only two ways at the moment! The ward immediately fell silent, and the sound of Dongdong's heartbeat became more and more urgent, and it was already a critical moment, should it fight to the death, or?

After half a ring, Sun Wu suddenly beckoned to Deng Yulin, who shook his hand as soon as he walked to the side of the hospital bed: "I am disabled, and now my wisdom depends on you, Third Brother Bing!" You immediately cross the river to inform the comrades of Xiaochao Street, and the Hanyang side will also send someone to contact you, just say my opinion, and immediately launch it tonight! Only by launching it immediately can we strike first, put it to death and then live!

"Tell everyone, victory or defeat is here, cherish!"
