When the sun sets, it is dark and it is still dark.
Jiang Mule looked at the sky, took out a pocket watch from her arms and looked at the time.
"Master Li, is that OK?" Jiang Muzi asked.
After checking the barge again, Master Li nodded, "No problem."
The other three barges also reported signals from the ship: Everything is normal.
"Action." Jiang Mule said in a deep voice.
With his order, the dock in Nanshi immediately started to move.
Jiang Muzi personally led his brother Jiang Laosi and more than ten subordinates, forty soldiers from the National Guards of the South City, and hundreds of coolies from the dock. He rode four barges borrowed from the China Merchants Agency and started the operation.
The reason why I chose to start the action is because there are Japanese warships patrolling the Huangpu River. They will shine around with searchlights at night. Once abnormal movement is found, they will fire.
When choosing the time node when the night is dark, people's vision will be affected and the vision will be affected, but they can barely see it.
The National Army soldiers and the coolies who were holding spears were hiding in the cabin.
Each barge was assigned two to three Belarusians, and Belarus would walk around the small deck from time to time.
The barge was flying the British Empire flag.
From a distance, this is a British barge that is in exchange for a false bag.
...
"Barrels were found on the river." A Japanese ship soldier soon noticed the barge on the river and immediately reported to the officer.
A naval lord immediately came to the deck, picked up the telescope and looked over.
It was getting late and I couldn't see clearly.
"Aim at the muzzle and test their reaction."
"yes!"
If these barges see the muzzle aiming and immediately try to escape, then it must be the Chinese ship, just fire the gun.
Although the night is coming, the British rice flag on the barge can still be seen clearly.
The Navy's Major was a little hesitant. Today, the Empire "misunderstood" the department store in the public concession. It is said that it killed many people, which caused protests from the British and Americans. On the peak, it issued an emergency order to various warships, strictly prohibiting firing on ships such as the British and Americans to avoid further angering the British and Americans.
The Major was a little hesitant and had a strong desire in his heart, which drove him to fire at the barge.
Experience tells him that this is most likely just a Chinese barge with the British rice flag.
"Alyosha, come out quickly." Master Li of the China Merchants Group changed his face and shouted hurriedly. They have often been hiding with Japanese warships recently and are more familiar with the behavior of Japanese warships.
When I saw the Japanese ship's muzzle turn around, I knew that the other party was suspicious.
Alyosha pulled his sister out of the cabin, and the two had already changed into decent clothes.
When they arrived on the deck, they shouted at the Japanese warship in the distance.
"Be angry, not fear, but frightened with anger." An agent from the Shanghai Special Information Group lay on the ground and whispered to remind him.
"British?" The Japanese Navy Grandpa saw the movement of the barge deck and ordered the soldiers to turn on the searchlight. He saw the fearful jumping foot, and still barely maintaining the pride and angry young man and woman of the so-called people of the British Empire.
The searchlight hit the three barges that followed, and indeed saw the angry protesting British people.
"Take the flag language and the Imperial Japanese Navy will patrol on a routine basis. Don't panic. I wish them a smooth sailing." The Grandpa ordered.
"yes!"
"They are saying that this is the Japanese Navy patroling, there is no intention to attack, and the passage is allowed, and I wish you a smooth journey." Master Li whispered beside Jiang Muzi, translating the flag utterances that the other party called.
Hearing this, Jiang Muzi immediately took out a few pieces of paper from her body, flipped through it, quickly found a page of paper, and said, "Reply to them."
"What do you mean?" Master Li asked.
"Just say thank you, long live the British-Japanese alliance."
"good."
Seeing the flags of four British barges successively, the Japanese Navy Major sneered, "Let them go."
British-Japanese alliance?
Sooner or later, the Navy of the Great Japanese Empire will defeat the British fleet and land on the British Peninsula!
The four barges continued to sail, and after finally leaving the Japanese warship, everyone, including Jiang Mule, breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a Belarusian ‘actor’ on a barge who was even scared to death. When they got on the boat, they realized that the 60-fiat currency was not so easy to earn in one night.
...
Almost at the same time, the operational personnel led by Qiao Chuntao also launched the action.
About dozens of steps away from the 903 warehouse of the French Baffin Foreign Company, Qiao Chuntao put down his telescope and his eyes were cold.
"Sleep?"
The guards of foreign companies are all Chinese. The French do not trust the Chinese and do not allow the guards to enter the warehouse to rest. Therefore, the guards set up a simple shack at the door of the warehouse. At this time, there was no movement of people walking in the shack, and there was a faint snoring sound.
"Follow me!" Qiao Chuntao whispered, personally leading his subordinates to surround them from all sides to the shack.
Without any suspense, the six warehouse guards were almost powerless to fight back and were all tied up.
"Who are you? This is the warehouse of French adults!" A guard struggled hard and roared in a low voice.
Qiao Chuntao sneered. The man waited until all the guards, including himself, were blindfolded before he spoke, and deliberately lowered his voice, obviously afraid that loudly shouting would cause misunderstandings and die in vain.
This is a plan to perform well and sell it well with French adults, but he is a smart person.
However, it's just a clever one.
Qiao Chuntao winked directly, and immediately his subordinates came up and knocked the man out with one hand.
These are just ordinary guards and have no interrogation value.
Moreover, this person is quite clever. Such people should pay special attention to avoid details in the person.
Qiao Chuntao glanced at him, selected a guard in his thirties, took him aside, and interrogated him for a few words.
The reason why this person was chosen was because there was a sesame cake hidden in the guard's arms. Qiao Chuntao judged that this person saved food and left it to his children. Such people were worried and dared not lie.
There is indeed no valuable information.
However, as Qiao Chuntao judged, this person had another pair of children in his family. His wife died of illness without a doctor for a long time. He only relied on him to take care of his children and saved his own food for his children every day. Only a pair of three or four-year-old children could barely survive.
Qiao Chuntao glanced at the man, and the blindfolded guard was frightened and uneasy.
Qiao Chuntao's cold eyes almost flashed by, and then she knocked the person out with a knife without hesitation.
Several agents searched the six guards, but they did not find the key.
This was expected.
Looking at the thick iron lock, Qiao Chuntao ordered his men to twist it with a strong force clamp and try to snatch it. However, the thick iron lock was obviously not something that could be snatched by a twist.
"Come on." Qiao Chuntao pointed to a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat.
"Hey." The middle-aged man came up quickly.
This is the "knowledgeable" person that the team leader ordered Jiang Muzi to find in advance.
I saw this man and several of his apprentices began to work hard.
First wrap the iron lock with a wet towel.
Then start using a hacksaw.
Qiao Chuntao nodded secretly and wrapped the iron lock with a wet towel to avoid making noises.
Several people took turns to get started. After about half an hour of sawing, they finally sawed the iron lock open.
With the dull sound, the heavy warehouse door was opened.
Qiao Chuntao ordered half of the men to hide outside and guard, and led the other half into the warehouse.
Everyone shone with a flashlight and looked at the full of goods, they couldn't help swallowing.
...
On the other hand, the Shanghai Station has also begun.
Sheng Shuyu and the commander of the Shanghai Station Operation Brigade Commander Zheng Lijun killed the guards of Sanyou Business Bank, but were stunned by the heavy iron locks.
One more lock.
It was originally an iron lock, but I don’t know when the Japanese actually welded another lock hole and added a lock.
There were only two people who had a hacksaw and started to see it.
The problem is, they didn't expect that there were two locks and they didn't bring enough wet towels.
Sheng Shuyu's face turned pale, and Zheng Lijun's face was also embarrassed.
The entire Shanghai station was focusing on this action, and it was full of preparations. The final "mistake" turned out to be:
Bring a few less towels!
"Take off your clothes!" Lu Xingge also had a cold face on the side and said in a deep voice. He took the lead in taking off his coat.
"Hurry, take off your clothes!"
Several agents also quickly took off their coats, wet them with water, and use them as wet towels for the time being.
About two miles away from the 403 warehouse of Sanyou Business Company, Cheng Qianfan set up a telescope with both hands. Seeing this scene vaguely, he cursed in his heart, "Idiot".
Although the distance was far, the sound of the hacksaw saw and iron lock could not be heard, Cheng Qianfan knew that the effect of wet clothes silenced was worse than that of towels.
There will inevitably be a harsh sound.
At this moment, something came from the dock.
Yu Dachuan, the captain of the fourth squad of the escort team of the British Investment and Merchants Bureau, led more than a dozen soldiers of the Kuomintang and hundreds of dock workers on three barges. He finally arrived at the risk of being bombarded by Japanese artillery fire.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the warehouse door to be opened.
For a moment, the scene was a little messy.
No one noticed that at the pier, there was a small steamer quietly in the night.
Chapter completed!
