Chapter 127: Hiding Eyes and Ears
In the evening, the Wantong freighter terminal was brightly lit, and the sentries were loaded with guns and ammunition, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and they were heavily guarded.
Hong Tongchang took a few entourage, lightly dressed and dressed in night clothes, and hid in a ruined wall away from the Wantong Cargo Terminal.
He took out his binoculars and carefully observed the movement on the docks.
A tall team member on the right asked in amazement: "Boss, you see that the Japanese army is so prosperous, there must be an arms ship docked on the shore, the opportunity is fleeting, we have fallen for the old man surnamed Zhang!" ”
Hong Tongchang stretched out his hand to signal him not to squeak, and then carefully observed the enemy situation in front of him.
He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, the hour hand pointed to eleven o'clock in the evening, and the harbor was calm. After a while, with a long whistle of "woo-woo-", a large freighter slowly drove over and accurately approached the dock. It turned out that this was a large Japanese cargo ship, and the "projectile" on the hull was exceptionally clear.
The thin and short team member on Hong Tongchang's left asked puzzledly: "What kind of medicine is sold in the Japanese gourd, it's just a broken freighter, is it worth making such a big move?" Did they do this for us? ”
The tall team member whispered to the short man: "The little devil is very cunning and good at deception, maybe this cargo ship is carrying arms!"
Hong Tongchang stretched out his hand and made a forward gesture towards the two of them, motioning for them to go and find out.
The two of them quickly jumped out of their hiding place, crawled around the two heavily armed sentinels on the shore, and quietly came to the dock.
They relied on cargo cover on the dock and approached the ship with agility and agility. There were no Japanese guards next to the freighter, and a few lazy and tired crew members chatted and laughed rambling on the freighter.
Yamazaki, a Japanese sailor, pointed to the heavily armed Japanese troops on the pier and said to his companions: "It's so strange tonight, they have blocked the dock here with heavy troops, is it to protect us and the ship?" ”
Thin crew member Hojo pouted: "The ship is empty, and there is nothing of value." Do you think you're General Yoshiichi Miyata, protected by them, maybe they sent us to arrest us? ”
Yamazaki said with emotion, "I really want to be captured by them, if that's the case, we can go back to our hometown in Hokkaido!" ”
Hojo said with a heavy heart: Yamazaki-kun, that's just your beautiful yearning, I'm afraid we will never be able to return to our hometown!
"We are the subjects of the Emperor, and for the sake of the Great East Asian Holy War of the Imperial Army, we will die in another country, what a pity!" Matsuo, a crew member on the side, said disdainfully to the two.
Yamazaki answered, "We are subjects of the Emperor, but does the Emperor know how much we have suffered? We are also the sons of our parents, the husbands of our wives, and the fathers of our children, who are worried about us all day long, waiting for us to return. ”
"Yamaqi-kun, Hojo-kun, Matsuo-kun, don't argue, let's think about the situation in front of us first."
After Hojo finished speaking, he looked at the dock again, and asked with a puzzled face: Don't they know that this is an empty freighter? Don't they have any eyes, I really don't understand them?
Matsuo answered disdainfully: If you don't understand, don't do it, if you know too much, you will lose your head!
"My stomach hurts a little and I'm going to pee!" Hojo said as he clutched his stomach and ran to the side of the darkness.
Several crew members were still laughing.
Hojo descended from the side of the ship, then went to the dock and went to a dense grass nearby, unbuckled his belt and peed.
At this time, two black shadows, one tall and one short, quietly surrounded him.
Hojo looked up at the night sky in the distance, feeling extremely comfortable after urinating. Before he could tie his belt, the tall black shadow suddenly swept his legs and threw the Japanese crew into, and the short black shadow swooped down and hugged his head.
Hojo struggled to shout, and the tall black shadow took out a shiny dagger against Hojo's neck, and shouted in a low voice: Don't shout, if you shout again, I will kill you!
Hojo was so frightened that he didn't dare to move anymore and shouted again.
"Your life is now in my hands, I ask you a few questions, you have to answer honestly, if you lie, you will ......die," the tall black shadow said, pushing the tip of the knife forward, clutching his neck, the cold was overwhelming.
Hojo trembled with fright, and he trembled: "Don't kill me, I say, I'll say it all!" ”
"What's on your freighter?" The tall shadow asked in a low voice.
Hojo, a Japanese sailor, said: "Our freighter is empty, and we have come to Ha Island to load goods!" ”
"What to load and where to ship?"
Hojo whispered, "It's all grain, cloth, and medicinal herbs, and they're going to Kinmen Island!" ”
The tall black shadow heard it and said angrily: "Dog, the people of Xia Island are dying of hunger, and you still pull food and daily necessities to the Japanese army, see if I don't kill you with one sword!" ”
The short black shadow hurriedly stopped the other party and said to the Japanese crew in Japanese: I will spare you this time and give you a way to live, if you tell me today's events, you crew members will all be killed!
The tall black shadow interjected: "Even if we don't kill you, if you say it, the Japanese soldiers will kill you too, you know?" ”
Hojo nodded hurriedly.
The two men quickly tied up Hojo, stuffed rags in their mouths, and quietly left, returning to the ruins.
The tall black shadow truthfully told Hong Tongchang: "The cargo ship is empty, and there is no ...... at all for those who come here to load things." ”
As they were talking, the short dark man next to them exclaimed: Boss Hong, look over there?
Hong Tongchang followed the direction indicated by his subordinates with his hands, and hundreds of black shadows surged towards the dock with quick movements, instantly surrounding the dock. They all had Japanese-style CF guns in their hands.
Hong Tongchang couldn't help but scolded: "His grandmother's, if it weren't for Mr. Zhang's guidance, I would have fallen for Little Japan!" ”
He turned around and ordered a few humans: Withdraw for me!
Several dark figures quietly left the dock and disappeared into the night.
