59. Capture the ship
The sun had not shown its face for a whole day, the lead-gray sky, the rain and snow, and the howling cold wind, and the people by the river were gone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Holding a telescope in his head, he carefully observed the few wooden boats moving slowly in the river. This is a kind of wide-mouth ship with a shallow draft and a large cargo capacity, which is extremely common in southern Hunan and western Jiangxi.
"Fool, do you see a few people clearly?"
One ear lowered his voice and asked.
With continuous treatment, his ears have improved a lot, so he doesn't speak as loudly as he used to be.
"There are thirty-four people with guns, and there are eight captains, looking at the head of the line, it is not the soldiers of the Hunan army, it should be the strong men and horses all the way."
The head whispered.
Hearing this, one ear took the telescope and looked at it for a while, and then returned it to the back of his head.
"Among the eight people who carried short guns, there were five practitioners, and they had a little kung fu in their hands, and they didn't know how to shoot. The man carrying the spear is also very vigilant, it is indeed a member of the militia group, otherwise he would not work so hard. ”
Brainhead put things away, took out the pocket watch hanging in his pocket and looked at it, and then said in a deep voice:
"At this time, the tea forest should be on fire, Qin Heizi is under a lot of pressure with those people."
"You're still worried about him? Qin Heizi can pinch and calculate, and the director has never suffered a loss, but this time it is really a bit of a big support. After all, Chalin has a battalion of men and horses, and it is guarded by the city wall, if I really don't dare to do this. ”
After one ear finished speaking, he touched his pocket, and said with emotion:
"Cripple Sun is not here, and he can't even find a cigarette."
From his jacket pocket, he took out a pack of harvest cigarettes and handed it over.
"Take advantage of the fog now, you can take a sip first, and I'll take a look at the movement in the river."
One ear slid down a few steps, lit the cigarette in his hand, and when he was a fairy, his brain said with some surprise:
"There is a fishing boat by the river, could it be someone from Lin Wei's faction?"
One ear quickly threw away the cigarette in his hand, climbed up a few steps with his hands and feet, and took the telescope and looked at it for a few minutes.
"Looking at the work in hand, it doesn't look like an outsider pretending to be. Those who still go out in this kind of weather can only be fishermen looking for food. Hey, hungry poor people, who dare to give God face! ”
It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he shouted angrily.
"This bunch of dog mongrels, brutes."
Brainhead quickly took the binoculars, and after a glance, he felt that his hair was about to stand on end.
It turned out that the wooden boat carrying the goods deliberately rammed into the fishing boat, and the two people who were fishing immediately fell into the water.
In this icy and snowy land, the river will be frozen, and people will be able to stand it if they fall into it. The people on the boat not only did not help, but also laughed at the two people who were struggling in the river. One of the captains on the boat couldn't stand it anymore and threw a board to the two people who fell into the water. They were only half-sinking and half-floating, floating towards them in the head.
For this reason, the captain was also slapped a few times by the militia people, and if it weren't for the transportation machine, I am afraid that he would have been kicked into the water.
There was a bend in the water, and soon the wooden boat floated over, and the hull of the boat was just covered by the mountains on the shore. Several fighters guarding the riverside immediately rushed over, and ran away with the two people who had fallen into the water on their backs.
"Quick, give them a bowl of ginger soup and put a quilt on them."
The head commanded loudly.
Among the two people rescued, one was an old lady with snow-white hair, and the other was a young man of eighteen or nineteen. The cold water in winter is the work of this moment, and the two of them are already blue and breathing weakly.
"These sons of bitches raise a group of brutes, a group of brutes of Zhente Niang."
One ear scolded loudly.
"We need to move quickly, if Lin Wei's information is accurate, the wooden ship should rest overnight in the fork harbor. We can't leave anyone to take care of them, throw away some of the furniture we don't want in the wagon, and take them on the road. Talk less on the road and don't leak secrets. ”
Brain commanded in a deep voice.
In order not to hit the riverbank, the boats had to slow down, and they had to send people to keep an eye on both sides, which was the best time to observe the number of opponents. Originally, Lin Wei suggested acting here, but was vetoed by Qin Lang.
During the day, the movement of seizing the boat was too great, and there were still some militia groups and miscellaneous soldiers of the Hunan army on both sides of the river, and if they were caught by them, the wooden boat that could not move was the best target.
Lin Wei thought for a while, and then said another ambush location.
"Fork Harbor!"
When she said these two words, her face immediately turned red, and although she didn't run away, her speech was obviously unnatural.
Fork Harbor is a river near Huanshui, and unlike other places, there are many secret ways to make a living. The deformed market has led to a deformed boom. There are five or six casinos and big smoke houses on the shore.
The men who run boats on the river like to spend the night here. It's cheap, it's fun, and it's safe. As long as it costs ten oceans, the local boss Bai Ye dares to guarantee that nothing will happen.
Joke, Bai Ye takes it all in black and white, and the blind thief in his territory dares to do it?
One ear has never been able to swim, and a shallow puddle a foot deep is estimated to drown in it, so it can only be blown off the shore.
Several people on the back of the head were covered with lard, and then put on their coats, this was the idea that Qin Lang came up with. Pilots of World War I, in order to protect themselves from the cold, put a thick layer of whale oil on their faces. How could there be such high-end goods around Jinggang Mountain, so I had to buy some plate oil for refining.
"Qin Heizi is bad or bad, this brain just has nothing to say, it's really not that cold."
"Battalion commander, the young man I saved during the day woke up, but his old mother is not in a good condition."
At this time, a warrior walked up to him and said.
"Check it out."
There was still a period of time before the action, and the brain didn't want to be frozen by the river, so he pulled one ear to the shack where he rested.
"Grass people thank the stone, thank you for saving your life."
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, seeing that the two people who came in were different, quickly learned to kneel on the ground as in the play. It was just quickly pulled up.
"Comrade Xie Shishi, we are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the team that liberates the suffering people, and it is right to help you. The condition of the old man is not good, and he must find a doctor after dawn. I still have a few oceans, you take them first, if it's not enough, you can go to the tea forest to find the Red Army, and you can go to Jinggang Mountain. ”
After smiling, he took out a few silver dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into Xie Shishi's hand.
"It's almost time, and in a while you retreat with our comrades and take care of the old mother on the way."
"......, fellow ......, comrade, are you going to fight and sink our wooden ship?"
Xie Shishi asked eagerly.
"Yes, Comrade Xie Shishi, the boat is pulling what we need."
Xie Shishi is not a fool, he can guess the purpose of the people today.
"I'll go with you, I'll row, and there's no sound."
Hearing this, my head was overjoyed, most of the people in the reconnaissance battalion were landlubbers, and those who could swim only had a few dog planings, and rowing was really a big trouble.
"Comrade Xie Shishi, there is a little lard here, rub it on your body to protect against the cold, give him a set of cotton clothes, don't freeze anymore."
"No, no, the fisherman can't afford to use this thing, as long as he doesn't fall into the water, he will freeze to death for a while."
Xie Shishi hurriedly said.
"No, the poor people in the world are one family, and there is no reason for us to be fed and clothed, so that you are hungry and frozen. If you want to refuse, it's not with us with one heart, we will row this boat by ourselves. ”
Looking at the serious look of his head, Xie Shishi had to accept things.
At night, the sky became more and more gloomy, and large snowflakes fell, making everything around them blurry.
According to Xie Shishi's suggestion, Brain Spoon and the others came to the upper reaches of the fork harbor.
The river was crossed in a small black-painted boat, which was not visible at all in such an environment. In addition, it is drifting along the river, so naturally it is not heard. Soon they came to the wooden boat, and Xie Shishi gently stuck the penny in the river, and the wooden boat stopped.
"Up!"
The head made a gesture.
The structure of the wide-mouthed large wooden ship has been seen in a port in the river before coming. The cargo is placed in the center of the ship, surrounded by thin wooden planks into cabins, and usually a dozen or so people live. This time, because things are important, there are more people sent, and the cabins are packed.
The two warriors lightly boarded the boat, looked left and right, and made a gesture of safety. The men on the boat stretched out their left hands, put them on the shoulders of the soldiers in front of them, and then moved along the sides of the boat, in small steps.
At this moment, a militia soldier who had drunk too much wine walked out of the hatch, and only then did he open his pants and prepare to relax, and he fell on the deck with a "poof", causing the gambling guys in the cabin to laugh.
"No! Two or two cats urinate, poured in the wind, and blew three catties of ......"
Before he finished speaking, his tongue was like a knot, and he couldn't spit out half a word. Because a "person" appeared at the door of the cabin, dressed in black clothes, and even his face was jet black, which looked particularly hideous.
I just wanted to ask, "Is it a human or a ghost?"
"Puff puff."
Suddenly there was a soft sound behind him, and several people immediately threw themselves forward, only to be held back by the people who rushed in at the hatch.
"Safe, five."
A warrior gestured a few times. Taking advantage of the commotion, he cut open a plank with his knife and attacked from behind.
"Second team, go left, search forward."
The head made a few gestures.
On board were two tactical squads of seven people each. It is divided into one team leader and two three-person combat teams. This is Qin Lang's suggestion, the brain has been tested several times, because the command is simple and it is not easy to make mistakes, and it is determined.
The group of fighters under his command had already divided into two battle groups and searched and advanced along the right.
Soon arrived at the second cabin, a member of the team took out a bamboo tube, gently pushed it against the pivot of the door, and a few drops of yellow soybean oil slowly flowed in.
"Whew!"
The hatch opened silently, and six warriors ghostly pounced on it. Snoring thundered in the cabin and the air was foul, they frowned and chose their targets.
"Huh!"
The dagger, which had been blackened by the oil lamp, was pulled out, and with the wave of the arm, it was inserted into the heart of a person.
"Woohoo."
A low wail, covered by a large hand. The hot body writhed a few times, and then slowly stiffened. A thick smell of blood permeated the room, quickly overpowering the stench in the room.
Witnessing everything that happened during the day, the order of the head of the head was to leave no one except the captain.
