Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Strongest Bandit in the History of the Concession
When I opened the manhole cover, a damp chill hit my face, and I hesitated to jump into the dark underground tunnel. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Look what I've found!"
Jiang Yitao walked over with a box, which he found on the "patrol".
The box couldn't find a place to open, much like the one I used to buy.
"Take it, go back and find the horn to untie it," I said as I returned the box to Jiang Yitao.
Accepting the box, Jiang Yitao saw the entrance of the cave and asked, "Are we going down?" ”
I nodded, ripped off a strip of cloth and lit it and threw it into the hole, the sewer was not as deep as I thought, and the strip of cloth fell on the dusty ground and burned quietly.
"You go first, I'll disguise it"
Jiang Yitao nodded and went down the escalator to the bottom of the cave, I moved the trash can to the side, and then dragged the manhole cover down to the ground.
"Take your clothes off"
"Huh!?"
Jiang Yitao was slightly stunned, turned to look at me, and his eyes were strange.
"Not what you think!"
I plucked his clothes, tore them to shreds, and wrapped them around the sticks I found to make torches.
"Why not your own?" Jiang Yitao shrunk his shoulders and asked.
"I finally have a handsome windbreaker, I can't bear it"
"You!"
The underground passage is connected to many sewers, extending in all directions, but fortunately, my sense of direction is okay, so I didn't get lost in it.
"This is really a good place to hide dirt and dirt," Jiang Yitao said, looking at the third corpse that appeared.
"Human life is like grass, and the era of cannibalism is normal" I don't think it's normal, it's not normal if you don't have it.
Estimating the distance traveled, it should have been out of the concession, so I found a sewer mouth casually and carefully opened the sewer lid.
It was very secluded outside, and there were few people on the street at four o'clock in the morning, so Jiang Yitao and I took the opportunity to get out of the sewer.
Well, although my sense of direction was not bad, it was still a little off, and by the time we arrived at the restaurant we had promised, it was already dawn.
"What are you two?"
The shopkeeper covered his nose and blocked our way and didn't let us in. Business in this store was already poor, and we probably lost it all when we went in again.
"Don't look for it, the rest should be eaten by everyone in the store!"
I grabbed a handful of silver dollars and shoved them into his hand, pushed him away, and walked in. The shopkeeper suddenly had no opinions, this is the money they can only earn in a few months.
"What are you two doing? What does it taste like? ”
Zhao Xue covered her nose with a look of disgust, they would have just ordered a table for breakfast, and they would be full before they ate.
"I'll talk about it later, wait until we eat something first," Jiang Yitao said vaguely while stuffing a small bun into his mouth.
While eating, he told them about us and asked them about their progress.
"I bought the house, people didn't rent it, I bought it when it looked cheap, it was only 200 silver dollars," Wang Li felt very cost-effective, and said proudly.
"How's the location?" I don't have any sense of how much money I spent, and it's no different from scrap metal when I leave.
"It's just two streets away from the warehouse, and it's a quiet place, with few people coming and going."
"Well, take me to see it later"
When I came to the rented house, I felt that something was wrong at first sight. The pedestrians who walked there didn't seem to want to stay there for long, and the old man and lady with inconvenient legs walked there like a fly.
"Auntie, are you local?" I stopped a passing lady and asked with a smile.
"Something?" The eldest lady looked at me very vigilantly, and she couldn't help but have a few more eyes in the chaos of the war these years.
"Oh, I just want to ask if that is Li Qiang's family? We're looking for friends," I said, pointing to the old house I bought.
The old lady shuddered and whispered, "I can tell you, it's not a good place!" ”
The old lady looked around carefully, and this cautious appearance made me suspicious.
"Don't tell anyone, that house is haunted!"
As soon as the old woman's words fell, the temperature around me seemed to be much lower, which made my back numb.
Standing in front of the gate of the house, everyone was a little hesitant to enter.
"We... Want to change places? Wang Li held my hand and trembled.
I'm strange, I don't know how many corpses she handles, why are I afraid of this.
"Let's go! Look what the ghost looks like! ”
I had the courage to go up and push open the wooden door.
"Squeak!"
The sound of the door opening was startling again, this house seems to be quite old, and no one has taken care of it for a long time.
The house is not big, there are only three rooms, a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room. The bedroom was reserved for the girls, the men lived in the outer living room, and the kitchen was reserved for the munitions.
Yes, I'm not going to keep my arms in that warehouse all the time!
For the rest of the day, we rested during the day and moved at night to sneak the arms from the warehouse into our house.
In the past few days, even if we haven't gone out, we have felt the panic outside, the air defense sirens have sounded intermittently, and there are gunshots and explosions in the distance from time to time, and the day of the Japanese siege is approaching!
In the early hours of 12 August, when the planned date of the operation arrived, I drove the converted truck from the garage outside the house we had bought, and the team carried boxes of weapons and ammunition, and then they all got into the car and closed the thick iron door.
Except for a small gap in the cab for easy driving, the rest of the truck was welded with iron plates, at the cost of a maximum speed of only 50 yards.
I drove the car to a secluded place not far from the entrance of the concession, got out of the car and covered the car with the prepared cloth so that people outside could not see what was inside.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, there were more people at the concession entrance today, and the common people were sensitive, and they sensed that danger was coming.
The trucks welded to the iron plates had a strange shape, and the British soldiers had set up machine guns when they saw us from afar.
"Action!"
With Jiang Yitao's order, Mao Qiang opened the lid on the roof of the car and mounted a machine gun.
"Da Da Da"
The bullets fired from the air blew up the crowd at the entrance of the concession, and they all screamed and fled from this right and wrong area.
Jiang Yitao, the co-pilot, pushed the iron plate in front of him, revealing a firing port, set up a machine gun and opened fire on the stunned British soldiers and Ah San!
"Da Da Da"
The British and Indians never imagined that they would actually be attacked one day, and only after a large number of casualties did they come to their senses, throw down their weapons and open the door.
Without slowing down at all, the truck smashed through the iron gate and rushed into the concession.
As soon as there was an exchange of fire, there was not a single pedestrian in the street behind it, only a careful peek out of the window to see that our strange car swaggered to the door of the patrol house.
The car stopped in front of the gate, and the iron plate on the side of the body fell, revealing the Type 92 heavy machine gun behind it, and Liu Yang who was smiling cruelly!
"Da Da Da"
Bullets shattered glass, smashed gates!
At first, there were people inside who fought back, and the car made a clanging sound, and slowly it was silent.
"Snort"
After hitting a small ammunition box, Liu Yang stopped, and a pot of water was splashed on the barrel of the gun, and a large cloud of smoke rose from the carriage.
"Up!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Jiang Yitao and I jumped out of the car with our faces covered, rushed into the patrol room in the smoke, and went straight to the target office!
