When night fell, the area around the Erdaogou Iron Bridge was as quiet as usual.

The sentry box at the head of the bridge was lit up in a dim light. In the distance, in the middle of the compound, three searchlights swayed back and forth, and from time to time the sound of owls could be heard from the trees next to the courtyard.

The night wind was cold and there was light snow.

"Driving the --------" was accompanied by two crisp whips, and a group of wagons formed a column and went up to the large iron bridge, a total of six carriages, all pulled by pine of uneven thickness and several stevedores.

In the middle of the two duty posts on the south side of the iron bridge, a barricade made of pine poles blocked the way.

Two Japanese soldiers standing guard surrounded a junior officer and walked out of the sentry box, and one of the Japanese soldiers shouted: "やめろ (Stop)!" なれ (who's who)? ”

The handlebar that started with "------" got out of the car, and it was a very thin young man, and behind him came a burly middle-aged man in a leather jacket and wearing eyes.

The bespectacled man stepped forward, bowed deeply to the officer, and said in fluent Japanese: "Hello, I am from Media Asia Co., Ltd., and we are going to store the pine wood of these six wagons in the warehouse, which is the military material for the construction of fortifications in Jiagedaqi." As he spoke, he took out a document and a slip of paper from his purse and handed them to the officer, "This is a special pass and inventory notice issued by the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department. ”

The officer looked at the documents and inventory lists, and then he asked, "Why are these people still in the car?" ”

The bespectacled man said, "These people are stevedores except for the drivers." I paid a lot of money to hire them, and it's hard to find workers at such a late hour. ”

The officer said to the two soldiers beside him, "Check your belongings one by one, and don't bring any prohibited items." ”

The two soldiers carried flashlights, and from the first carriage they searched, the wood on the carriage was neatly loaded, and no forbidden things were found in it, and some of the workers' cigarette pockets, personal keys, and matches were searched, that is to say, there was nothing on these workers except the handlebar-type whip that could be brought in. When they had finished inspecting it, they showed the officer the cigarette pouch and the matches, and they said that if there were other things in the car, it would be easy to spot, and that the pine wood itself was uneven in length and thickness, and there were many gaps in the middle, which were all visible, and it was not easy to carry things.

The officer waved his hand, "Clear." Unload the timber and come out early, and don't move around. ”

The man with glasses had a smile on his face, and stepped forward to stuff a box of Sun brand cigarettes into the officer's hand, and the officer looked very unhappy, so he stepped forward and snatched the cigarette, and then turned over the pocket of the man with glasses, "What is this?" ”

The man with glasses smiled and said in Japanese, "This...... It's a check from the bank this afternoon, and this is a match for lighting a cigarette. As he spoke, he took out two checks from an envelope, pulled out half of them, and turned them to the officer, "Taijun, please check?" ”

After all, the officer was a junior officer, and his income was not high, so he finally had a smile on his face, he grabbed the two checks in his hand, and snatched the matches, "Don't you bring these in?" Can it not? ”

"Okay, okay, thank you, Taijun. I hear your accent like Hokkaido, my hometown is in Edo, and the night view of Hakodate, Hokkaido is the most beautiful. He beckoned to the officer and got into the carriage.

By this time, the soldiers had removed the barricades, and six wagons drove straight in.

After walking about 500 meters, you can see by the light that the entire Manchurian iron warehouse is surrounded by a tall fence, and there is a barbed wire fence on it, and the barbed wire is hung with bells; There are lookout towers at the four corners of the compound, and patrols pass by from time to time under the big wall, in short, they are heavily guarded.

The main entrance to the warehouse was a large black lacquered iron door with two opposite sides, and the sentry at the door checked the pass and the receipt notice, returned the pass and handed it to the man with glasses. The large iron door was opened, and a custodian with a small black beard led them inside. As far as the eye can see, there are more than 80 large and small warehouses in it, divided into four rows, in front of the warehouse door is the long platform and motorway, and the middle is the railway through it, which can go straight to the Shenchang railway freight yard.

The carriage, led by the custodian, entered the south lane of the fourth row and stopped in front of Warehouse 72. The custodian opened the iron lock with the key, "crunched -------" pushed open the iron door of the warehouse with slides, and said to the bespectacled man: "You unload, unload, turn off the lights, close the iron door, lock the lock, and that's it." I'll take the key, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done. We are all Chinese, I have to tell you that there are wolf dogs here, be careful. Don't wander around, do you hear me? I was so sleepy on the big night that I had to squint for a while. With that, he turned away.

Looking at the back of the custodian, the man with glasses said politely: "You go slowly, thank you!" He turned around and greeted everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard, unload the goods." Arrange it neatly in the warehouse, and weigh a few more people. ”

When the custodian was gone, the men laughed heartily. It turned out that the person wearing a leather jacket and glasses was Luo Shuangchen, and these people who drove the car were all guys from the Nalan Songhan family firm, and the unloading were all brothers from No. 67 Courtyard in Wannianli. Luo Shuangchen waved his hand, everyone entered the warehouse, everyone gathered together, Luo Shuangchen said: "Brothers, in order not to make them suspicious, Sihai, Li Yuan, and Zhou Bu and I will not go to investigate the situation, one person and one row of warehouses, no matter whether you find anyone or not, do not act alone, you must return to this No. 72 warehouse after half an hour, and we will study countermeasures." The rest of the people listened to Meng Jiafa, unloading wood here together, not in a hurry, why come six carriages, our wood is not for nothing, but just to buy time, let's go separately. Don't shoot unless you have to. ”

There are two people from the third carriage unloaded a diameter of 80 centimeters of pine wood, put on the warehouse floor, Zhang Shuofei beckoned to Long Sihai, the two stood at both ends of the log, the two bent down together to support the log to push each other, and saw that the log was divided into two halves, it turned out that the log was hollow, inside were their handy short guns and weapons, just in case, they brought the weapon on their body, and then closed the log, leaning on the side. It turned out that this was designed by Zhang Shuofei, the "Divine Machine Military Division", and he actually successfully brought the weapon into the heavily guarded Manchurian Iron Warehouse.

Luo Shuangchen, Long Sihai, Li Yuan, and Zhou Bu walked along the fourth, third, second, and first rows of warehouses respectively, tiptoeing against the root of the wall, and checking one warehouse after another.

We can't afford to talk about it alone. He stood at the intersection and saw the lights on inside the seventh warehouse. He is very glad that his vision is very blessed, and he always gains something when the clues are confused.

Through the big iron gate, I heard a few people chattering.

"I said, Fifth Brother, we have to take a lot of risks after we do this list?"

"So what? What can the upper branch and the lower faction do? This job is done, you say that this is also the whole thing is surprising, then President Lu's daughter, who dares to move? Hey----- our boss is gall fat. ”

"When this is done, I will apply to go back to the patrol, and I would rather go shopping on the streets every day than do that. Do you know the Jichang Chamber of Commerce? The people in it are all business elites in the Jichang area, and this president is Lu Shikun, and I don't know if Gu Maolin ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually attacked Lao Lu's daughter. ”

"I analyze, there must be a Japanese to support him, otherwise he wouldn't dare to rely on him? I can't get into this iron-filled warehouse. ”

"Let's just talk about him Lao Gu, when did he really give us some benefits before? This time not only ordered us good food and wine, but also gave 600 Manchurian yuan per person, since wearing this skin, not to mention outsiders, we all feel a little sorry for our ancestors, what can we do? It's all mixed life. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there are good dishes and good food, and I got that wine.

Hearing this, Zhou Bu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately turned around and galloped towards Warehouse 72.

After a while, Luo Shuangchen, Long Sihai, and Li Yuan all returned to warehouse 72, and by this time the others had unloaded nearly half of the wood.

Zhou Buxian said: "Hard work pays off." It seems that the clues we have are correct, Miss Lu is in the No. 7 warehouse in the first row, and there are about six or seven people listening to the voice, and they are drinking and chatting. ”

When Luo Shuangchen heard this, he felt a little relieved in his heart, and said in a low voice: "In this way, let these six driving masters take care of the vehicle, Zhong Sanke and Hua Feihua will stay, help unload the remaining pine wood, put the important logs aside, don't get confused." The others went with me to Warehouse 7. Rescue people, let's go back here, when we get there, Chen Yun is responsible for guarding outside the warehouse first, and the others enter the warehouse with me, if you can, you won't shoot, saving people is the first thing. Do you understand? Let's go! ”

"Red cannon" Zhao Qianxun said: "Wait, I have to bring this." He opened another log and carried a small wooden box with a strap on his shoulder.

"Chasing the Taibao" Qin Wufu asked: "Brother, here are all time-delay explosives that you developed yourself that are a little bigger than soap?" A little less. ”

Zhao Qianxun said: "Brother, that's enough, you just wait to hear the twenty-one salutes tonight." ”

Everything went according to plan.

When Luo Shuangchen and the others touched the No. 7 warehouse again, several of them were obviously already drunk.

"Brother, if you say that this place is surrounded by iron walls, I say that this place is like hell on earth, you see how dark it is outside, if someone really comes in and takes us, you can't go back."

"Can you say something auspicious?"

"That is, our actions can be said to be very secretive, we gathered at the filial piety grave, they just found rut marks, and they didn't know that we came out of the garrison."

"But no, what the three tigers said is right, just the place of the filial piety's grave, the wilderness, we are moving very quickly in Xing'an Bridge, who can still find us?"

"Well, we people, don't seek to be rich and expensive, just eat with a mouth."

"I'm incapable, a little bit like Zhao Shangzhi and Ma Zhanshan, and little Japan, why do you bully our big country in that projectile land?"

"You don't want to die? What do you say? Drink bar, from the moment we put on this black skin, we are sorry for our ancestors, it is not right to say anything, it is difficult. Drink. ”

"Did you order something for that little girl?"

"I don't eat it if I give it to her, it's just stiff."

"Do you think we're doing this a little unethically?"

"Well, when I did it, I didn't think too much about it, and after drinking a little wine, I didn't think it tasted. If we find a good livelihood in the future, let's stop doing it, we will always be so good in conscience. ”

"Let's get by, it depends on whether you can have a good person to save her, let's say, we can't be too lacking in virtue, if someone comes to save these days, let's just turn a blind eye, no one will save her, let's not be embarrassed for her, then it depends on her creation."

"Alas, it's not safe to live in a rich family these days."

Luo Shuangchen, who was outside, listened to these words and could conclude two points, one was that Lu Songmian was fine, and the other was that these people were not heinous bad people. He made a gesture to the "Holy Hand Divine Ape" Chen Yunxian and Long Sihai, and saw Chen Yunxian take out a bamboo pipe from his pocket, Long Sihai and Zhao Qianxun stepped forward with both hands, Chen Yunxian took a few steps backwards and jumped up and stepped on Long Sihai and Zhao Qianxun's hands, his body went up like a flying swallow, and his right hand climbed the windowsill of the ventilation window at the height of the warehouse.

Chen Yunxian really practiced light skills, and jumped down cleanly without a sound. The other brothers watched vigilantly, and after about three minutes, they could hear the sound of "plop, plop, plop-----. Chen Yun stepped forward and stabbed the lock three times with two wires, and then opened the lock. Immediately after, two people came up and gently pushed open the iron door. After Chen Yun let everyone in, he closed the iron door again from the outside, and he was on guard outside.

Luo Shuangchen and the others searched softly in the library, and Long Sihai whispered, "What about these seven?" ”

Luo Shuangchen said: "Yun Xian's medicine is a lot, and he can't wake up for a while, tie them up, gag them, and throw them outside in a quiet place, the sin will not lead to death." ”

"Song Mian----- Song Mian-------" Luo Shuangchen called softly.

I could hear the sound of "rustling ......" from behind the cement pile inside. Luo Shuangchen took the dagger in his hand and looked in with the light to find a place to make a sound.

The rest of the brothers looked through the rest of the warehouse and found no additional people.

Luo Shuangchen saw that Lu Songmian's hands and feet were tied with ropes, her mouth was stuffed with strips of white cloth, and her eyes were full of tears and she was asleep there.

Luo Shuangchen rushed forward, used a dagger to break the ropes on her hands and feet, and removed the strip of cloth from her mouth.

Long Sihai couldn't care much when he saw this scene, "Brother, let's go home with our arms and retreat quickly!" ”

Luo Shuangchen hesitated a little to help Lu Songmian up, she may have been numb with her legs and feet, and she fell into Shuangchen's arms again as soon as she stood up.

"Brother, let's go."

Luo Shuangchen knew that he was urgent, and he couldn't take much care of it, so he picked up Lu Songmian and walked out, and the other brothers took the pistols of the seven people, tied them with ropes, and threw them on the side of the railway under the platform at the door like throwing corpses. Then he hugged Luo Shuangchen and headed towards Warehouse 72.

"Red-clothed cannon" Zhao Qianxun was not idle, he opened the small wooden box on his body, grabbed Chen Yunxian and Qin Wufu with his hands, and the three of them acted together, walking along the warehouse, every time they walked through four or five warehouses, they stuffed the soap-sized one through the crack in the door, it seems that they don't want to let go of any warehouse.

It is said that Luo Shuangchen and a few of them dodged the sweep of the searchlight, crossed two railways, and finally came to the No. 72 warehouse.

I saw that Zhong Sanke, Hua Feihua and a few guys had already unloaded the other logs and put them in the warehouse, leaving only a log about 90 centimeters in diameter in the second carriage, and three or four logs on the third carriage.

Zhong Sanke stepped forward and opened the log in the second car, obviously it was not tightly closed, Luo Shuangchen put Lu Songmian there, and Sanke closed the log again.

Chen Yunxian and the others also came back at this time, and turned off the lights and iron doors of the warehouse.

Luo Shuangchen beckoned everyone to put their weapons in the logs in the third car, and put them away according to which car each person was sitting in, just in case.

Long Sihai sat in the first carriage and led everyone outside.

Everything was so smooth, so seamless.

Along the main passage in the courtyard, the six carriages went straight to the gate, and when they reached the gate, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and they were safe and sound through this gate.

At this moment, a dog bark of "---- ---- was heard, and two wolf dogs pounced from the darkness and rushed straight towards the convoy.

The horses were amazed and lifted off the carriage.

This was a big surprise to everyone, but fortunately, this young man was not bad, and he easily hugged the log with weapons on the car.

Luo Shuangchen didn't expect this to happen, he was very frightened when he sat in the second carriage, the horse-drawn carriage turned around and ran towards the warehouse compound, Luo Shuangchen's equestrian skills were still okay, he knew that this chariot guy couldn't be counted on, he jumped forward and pushed this guy out of the car, "Hurry up and find them, let's go together." ”

Luo Shuangchen knew that the more he tightened the reins at this time, the faster the horse would run, and he had to run down with its strength, so he had to take the reins and run towards the courtyard.

Then there was chaos in the courtyard, and the sentries at the four corners of the courtyard heard a bunch of wagons at the door stop, and the wolfdogs barked, and then the convoy was in disarray, and they fired at the convoy indiscriminately, and so it became even more chaotic.

The Chinese custodian came out and gestured vigorously to the corner tower, "My own people, the horse is shocked------ don't shoot!" ”

But as soon as the gunshot rang out, the man's words did not work, and he could not be heard.

The brothers took up their weapons and leaned against the wall to shoot at the corner tower.

This wolf dog is also strange, when the gunfire is everywhere, they stop barking.

Gunshots were heard, and the alarm sounded on the guard tower in the courtyard!

"Woo woo----- woo woo -----"

Long Sihai was still experienced in combat, and he extinguished the bright searchlight on the tower with one shot. said loudly to Chen Yunxian: "Yunxian and Zhou Hao, let that custodian open the door, you all rush out, Zhao Qianxun and I will go to find Brother Lu!"

The custodian seemed to be very sensible, he opened the door halfway, and then closed it again, Chen Yunxian said angrily: "Boy, they are all Chinese, let's not compete, good, open the door." ”

"Brother, I...... I wanted to let you go, too, but the guards at the door sealed the door. ”

Chen Yun first looked out through the crack in the door, and saw more than a dozen Japanese soldiers with guns facing the iron gate, waiting for someone to come out.

Zhou Bu said: "Brother, this is the only way out of the breakout, how many soldiers do you have to have in the courtyard?" ”

Jin Mingcheng said: "We are all out, what should Brother Lu do?" I have to go and save Brother Lu. ”

Chen Yunxian said: "With so many people, the closer they get to Brother Lu, the bigger the goal." In this way, the warehouse will explode in a while, take advantage of the chaos to let these guys who drive the car exit first, and our brothers will scatter in the dark to find Brother Lu, remember that whoever finds Brother Lu will fire arrows. ”

Jin Mingcheng said: "The four seas rushed in first, we had better work together with two people, and we also have a care." ”

Chen Yunxian said to the guy who was driving the car: "Brother, I'll give you a few grenades in a while, you can deal with those people at the door, rush out, there's no problem." Take care. You watch. ”

As he spoke, he knocked a grenade in his hand to the ground and threw it directly out of the iron gate, when he heard a loud bang. "Rush out---- ------ quickly"

The custodian opened the iron door and shouted, "Give me a gun, I've had enough----- I'll lead the way and rush out-"

Jin Mingcheng laughed and said, "You kid, count yourself as backbone!" As he spoke, he handed a box cannon to the custodian.

Chen Yunxian shot at the corner tower and said, "Brothers, hurry up and disperse, remember to stay away from the warehouse, it's about to explode!" ”

Long Sihai and Zhao Qianxun took the lead and sneaked into the courtyard, and the footsteps of the patrol team were heard not far away.

Chen Yunxian and Jin Mingcheng, Li Yuan and Ma Chaozhen, Zhou Fu and Zhong Sanke, Meng Jiafa and Zhang Shuofei, Qin Wuyu and Hua Feihua, they were two by two, and they scattered in the courtyard in the dark and under the frantic strafing of the Japanese soldiers.

As soon as the searchlights went out, the patrol team in the yard pulled the wolfdogs with flashlights and searched for them. With such a large yard and many buildings, it is very difficult to find people.

At this moment, I heard several loud bangs of "boom----boom -----boom" in the first row of warehouses, and exploded, and when the patrol team members did not react, they heard the second row of warehouses also explode, and the more than 30 Japanese soldiers were panicked, and with the explosion of the third and fourth rows of warehouses, a raging fire was triggered, reflecting the sky red. At this time, the Japanese soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks rushed out and looked for water to put out the fire.

But how did these Japanese know that the fire was ignited from inside the warehouse, and the cotton yarn, pine and other materials inside, especially the gasoline depot, were not saved once they caught fire.

Flames reach the sky. The Japanese in the compound are all in chaos, they don't know whether to find the murderer or go to fight the fire, they are all in chaos.

At this time, there was another series of explosions! "Boom------ pop -----"

The explosion of the Manchurian Iron Warehouse stirred the nerves of the invaders.
