Not daring to think deeply, Song Jiang hurriedly touched the light in front of him and went ashore. After walking half a mile in the muddy quagmire, he ran away with a shoe, and finally arrived at the stone carving archway with the South Wharf written at the entrance of the fishing village, which evoked the previous memory, it was indeed near the sea gate, and this Lin Jiu should not have lied to himself. As for why he was so merciful as to let himself come back, Song Jiang really couldn't figure it out, but he repeatedly mentioned the tax police corps, maybe it was because of human affection?

He hurriedly sneaked into the village, stole a pair of shoes that others were hanging outside, and after putting them on, he squeezed his feet a little, and continued to run north. Thinking about what to do in the future along the way, he lost the camera and the film inside, it seems that the old errand can't be done, if Wan Lilang knows that the film is seen, maybe he will eat the gun, he naturally knows what he is shooting, and how big the risk is behind it.

In any case, it was the fault of Zhang Guangcai, a bastard, that he fell to this point, and he deserved it, phew.

Lin Xiuxuan turned the bow of the ship and sped towards Lingang. The low-speed Japanese ships were still cruising near Hengsha, and the searchlight column could be seen from a distance, and the boatswain deftly bypassed from a kilometer away, still from the waterway west of Hengsha that Shuping had walked yesterday, but the degree of dexterity was not the same.

It seems that before sunrise, lurking to the beach will not be a problem. If everything goes well, 419 may have already started to restart work by the time he receives someone tomorrow, but this matter can't be done overnight, and I don't know if 419 will be able to chase down Izumo in time.

Lin Xiuxuan stood on the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, still recalling all kinds of past events, and letting Song Jiang go, he was a little scared, after all, this bastard had insight into many details of 419. He spent a day on Tanhu Island, and although he tied his hands and feet and blindfolded, he could still hear a lot of famous names, if he was careful enough. In addition, the strip of cloth that blindfolded Song Jiang, although it was very thick, could still transmit light, maybe this guy could detect that the ship was not moving with the lights on.

Lin originally wanted to return the Laika camera to Song Jiang, but he thought that this thing was good, and staying by his side in the future might be used as a cover for his identity (He Ming had already made a lot of documents of this era, including various press cards), of course, there was also the intention of forcing Song Jiang not to return to the enemy, without the film inside, Song Jiang could not go back, unless he didn't want to live.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the anti-smuggling boat got into the reeds, where Xu Chong and Lu Qingshan were still dozens of kilometers away, and everything made Shu Ping right.

The two of them had slowed down, but they were ready to continue to move during the day, and after passing Sandun Town, there were few villages nearby, and it was not much of a problem to walk during the day. However, there was a barracks of a battalion-level unit of the puppet army near the academy, and the sentries could be seen, but the specific number was not found, and the unit was not seen moving with the Japanese. According to records, the Pudong area was perennially active with guerrillas from both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, such as the Guozi Loyal Salvation Army and the 58th Regiment, which belonged to the anti-Japanese detachment of the New Fourth Army.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, 419 intercepted a telegram from the Japanese Third Fleet and ordered the Izumo formation to pull anchor and set sail, to be on alert at Wusongkou while waiting and completing the formation. The telegram did not mention the destination, and if it had not been for the mission to track down the Meteor, it was likely that it would have been in the Yangtze River waiting to complete the formation and then return to Yokosuka as originally planned.

The drone took off in the early hours of the morning and flew straight out of the cloud anchorage, and sure enough, it was no longer there. On the contrary, it can be seen that the Japanese search of the Mahler shipyard continued, and the berths of the Mahler shipyard were completely blocked by four gunboats, and the tripods in the dry dock had been removed. It seems that the Japanese are also in a hurry and have begun to dig three feet into the ground to find clues. If they were careful enough, they might be able to guess some of the details from the total power of electricity and the metal chips in the workshop, but they would all be misleading.

The drone then searched north along the Huangpu River, and sure enough, it found the huge Izumo parked at the mouth of Wusong, as if waiting for another ship in formation, which looked like it would not be able to go for a while.

The Izumo raised the commodore flag, indicating that the highest position on the ship was Osa, of course, this is not enough to show that Kagesa is not on the ship, the Navy will not raise a flag for the rear admiral, and that will not be what Kagesa, who likes to hide his head and tail, wants. The only way to know for sure is to patiently listen to the ship's communications.

Lin Xiuxuan, who was hiding in the reeds after the low tide, was bored waiting for the monitoring news, once 419 began to restart work, the secondary post would need to withdraw from the submarine, and the monitoring work would be forced to suspend for 48 hours, at present, Shu Ping is installing and sealing the pipeline, and he promised that this work will be completed within 10 hours, that is, it will be completed before dark.

At sunrise, Akira Kagesa, dressed in civilian clothes, stood on the bow of the Izumo and watched the murky river flow eastward under the bow.

He originally wanted to stay a few more days and wait for the results of further searches at the shipyard, but in the early hours of the morning, Takijiro Onishi suddenly called from the Naval Attaché's Palace, telling him that in view of the situation in Shanghai, the Izumo formation had prepared to anchor in advance to today, and immediately returned to the mainland, so that he and his three special guests could board the ship immediately.

The Izumo prepared a closed compartment for the three prisoners to isolate them from the crew, and the navy specially sent six "Navy Special Police Team" troops from Nanjing to board the ship for "prisoner management", and these policemen are currently on another destroyer, waiting for the formation to board Izumo.

When he received the call, Kagezo was really in a dilemma, the Ministry of War had agreed to transfer a bomber to pick him up, of course, the main reason was that he was at the scene when the headquarters exploded, and he needed to return to China to explain the situation in detail to determine the responsibility of Major General Kusumoto, which is related to whether Kusumoto will be posthumously recognized as a lieutenant general after his death, in the eyes of the army, the dignity of the generals who donated their lives is the top priority, and they don't care very much about the situation of those nonsense neuroses. The arrival time of the aircraft has not been determined, and considering that the speed of the warship cannot be compared with that of the aircraft, it is difficult to say whether the warship must arrive at the mainland first; But on the phone, he couldn't push it, so he could only agree and thank him a thousand times. After all, Onishi spent a lot of favors to get through the joints, and arranged a special detention area on the ship, and arranged special police. For a navy without a gendarmerie, the naval police are a very rare existence, and the entire Third Fleet has only forty people, and if it weren't for Onishi's face, it would definitely not be able to do so thoroughly. If you suddenly say that you can't board the ship, you can't say anything about it. Especially Onishi is Yamamoto's fifty-six's red man, refute his face, and this line may be broken in the future.

Of course, in addition to considering Izumo's slow speed, Kagezo actually had another layer of consideration, he had never been able to figure out Lin Jiu's lair, why was it built only a hundred meters away from Izumo? And I really don't dare to think about it deeply.

The boat will not leave when it reaches the Yangtze River. It had to wait for the destroyer Yuzuki to complete the formation. The Xiyue is currently near Nanjing and is heading downstream.

Not far away, he saw the cruiser Yubari heading vigilantly in the direction of Pudong, the direction where the enemy had left its last signs.

The night before yesterday, the bullets fired from where they left 12.7 mm caliber holes in the searchlights and power station equipment, and the bullets were not found as expected, and after flat fire, they may have fallen into the river, but after a whole day of searching, even the enemy's firing positions were not found. During the previous search in Huxi, a huge tripod mark was found in the mud, like a Soviet-made anti-tank gun used by the national army to fight pillboxes and armored vehicles found during the war, but the caliber did not match. No warheads or shells were found in Huxi. Overall, the men were cautious and good at concealing, leaving only the ones they wanted you to see, and the most they left behind on the scene were 9mm and 11.4mm shells, plus a Czech machine gun and two Thompsons*.

According to Ying Zuo's judgment, the Meteor should no longer be on the Huangpu River, otherwise the search of thousands of people mobilized yesterday would not have found any signs.

The last sighting clues of the Meteor can be traced back to the evening of the day before yesterday, that is, 2 hours after the Meteor escaped from the berth. At that time, a group of fools from the Special City Marine Police Force saw the cargo ship hidden in the reeds of the Three Forks Harbor with a changed name, it was flying the French flag at that time, and the spelling of the ship's name was not remembered, and another piece of evidence was that the motorboat that had been taken from Kimura's hands was also nearby.

The marine police officers later compared the hand-drawn drawings under the wood and recognized Lin Jiu, who was pretending to be the captain of the ship at the time, and appeared very calm. Kinoshita's hand-painted portrait seems to be quite expressive, but it is not realistic enough, and most witnesses who see Hayashi himself cannot associate it with the portrait in the first place, but when questioned afterwards, they will wake up like a dream.

The motorboat that broke through was sunk by a reckless destroyer, and it has not been fished up so far, but the divers went down to take a look, but no body was found. Judging from the consistent actions of this group, they will not break through. Unlike the Sifang Daisa, who had just returned from Taihu Lake and was desperately tracking down the firing position from land, Shadow Zuo was more concerned about what the Meteor was doing hiding in the reeds before nightfall. Not surprisingly, it should be waiting for dark, in fact, the main actions of this group before were at night (except for the hijacking of gold), and every time they had an advantage at night, of course, Ying Zuo always refused to believe that the Chinese had found a wild medicine to increase night vision, but he was sure that there must be some technical reason behind their special preference.

At his strong request, the army mobilized all six reconnaissance planes to conduct a radiative search of the waters around Shanghai from yesterday, but there was still no result. Of course, if the Meteor flows into the sea, 6 reconnaissance aircraft will definitely not be enough.

So, what exactly are they hiding in the Mahler shipyard for?

This veiling question reappeared, and in fact, five minutes before he boarded the Izumo, he was still in the dry dock of the Mahler shipyard looking for the answer. Judging from the remaining signs, it seems that Lin Jiu and his gang are still preparing to produce a second ship of the same type as the Meteor. In addition, from the analysis of the huge electricity consumption and the metal powder left behind, it is likely that they are processing some kind of special thermite*, and it is impossible to buy ammonia synthesis equipment and various pyro*raw materials on the market, maybe this group of people has found a different way? Want to come up with a weapon that is enough to burn through the hull of a ship in the event of a *insufficient situation?
