At noon, the food delivery truck arrived at the warehouse at the normal time.
But when they stopped the car, they were all dumbfounded: the warehouse was gone, and now it had been demolished into a flat piece of land, a small square about the size of a football field.
They were stunned: Did they look in the wrong place?
No, they come here every day to deliver food. Even if you close your eyes, you won't find the wrong place.
A corps commander got out of the car and walked around the neighborhood, then hurriedly got in the car. The car drove crazily towards the city. He couldn't wait until he got back to the barracks. He found a public phone on the way and called the Marine Corps headquarters.
past.
Five minutes later, a brigade of Japanese marines stationed in Shanghai rumbled out in trucks and rushed to the warehouse at lightning speed.
After they saw it, everyone was stunned and had no idea what was going on.
Yesterday at noon, everything was normal. The warehouse was still here, with mountains of arms and medicines inside. But now, not even a blade of grass can be found.
Is there really a god in China who used magic to steal the warehouse out of thin air?
They started searching nearby and found many criss-crossing ruts and countless footprints. They followed these traces to Wusongkou, and probably understood what had happened.
Their arms and medicines were hijacked, a massive hijacking.
After returning, the Japanese Marine Corps and the Japanese Military Police held an emergency meeting, and then quickly mobilized all their forces to start a search in Shanghai, and at the same time sent a signal for help to the military headquarters.
The Japanese fleet anchored at the Huangpu River estuary decided to send two warships into the Yangtze River to chase the two cargo ships that might be carrying their arms and medicines.
However, since the Japanese warships anchored at the Huangpu River Estuary this time are large surface ships, used for maritime navigation, they cannot sail deep into the Yangtze River. If they forcefully sail into the Yangtze River, they may be stranded on multiple sections.
The Japanese Marine Corps had no choice but to give up tracking.
At the same time, the Japanese Consulate issued a protest to the Republic of China government, believing that this was a military action taken by the Kuomintang Central Army. The matter must be investigated immediately, the hijacked arms and medicines must be recovered, and the perpetrators must be severely punished.
The Republic of China government firmly denied this incident. Indeed, they had never carried out such an action, but they were willing to cooperate with the Japanese side in tracing their whereabouts.
There has been a commotion in Nanjing all day long. People from all sides are like ants on a hot pot. They can't find the east, west, northwest, and no one knows who did it.
The next morning, Jin Jiu suddenly appeared in Shanghai and announced to the reporter of the British "Times" that he planned and led this operation as revenge for the Japanese arrest of Yin Bongji. If the Japanese did not release Yin Bongji from prison,
There will be many more actions like this in the future.
The Japanese were so angry that they started to arrest Jin Jiu. Unfortunately, Jin Jiu was like wearing an invisibility cloak and disappeared after just a flash.
Major newspapers rushed to report Kim Koo's declaration, and everyone realized that it was Kim Koo who had done this, and it was an act of revenge carried out by the Korean Patriot League against Japan.
In the following days, the spies planted by the Japanese among the Koreans also sent a lot of information, and the Japanese learned that the participants in this operation were all Koreans and not a single Chinese.
The Japanese were so angry that they did not dare to use too harsh tactics against the Koreans, otherwise the people of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea would do the same to the Japanese expatriates.
The Korean people have been enslaved by Japanese colonists for decades. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and they are not afraid of risking their lives.
Lu Ming got the list of goods stored in the arsenal and was shocked after reading it. He knew that there were a lot of arms, ammunition and medicines in the warehouse, but he didn't expect there to be so many. It was simply beyond his imagination.
No wonder the Japanese are all crazy.
He didn't know how much these arms, ammunition and medicines were worth, but even if the price was lowered, it was still tens of millions of yuan. Compared with these guns, ammunition and medicines, the value of the two shipments of grain, cloth, salt and other goods last time was too much.
Lower.
Of course, no matter the value, Yanba people cannot survive without food, so some things cannot be judged solely on their value.
It was a pity that Kang Ze had to give a third of it to Kang Ze, which made him feel a little sad, but he had no choice, otherwise he would not be able to escape.
The time was ripe, Lu Ming immediately called Kang Ze, exchanged a few words with him, and then whispered: "Brother Kang, I'm in big trouble."
Kang Ze was startled and asked, "What trouble can you have?"
"I took away the Japanese arms warehouse, and now the Japanese are going crazy to trace it," Lu Ming said.
"What? Did you do the looting of the arsenal? Wasn't it done by people from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea?"
Kang Taek was a little confused. This morning, His Excellency Kim Gu, the ruler of the provisional government of the Republic of Korea, had come forward and admitted on the radio that the Korean Patriotic League led by him had done this.
"It's true, it's because of the North Koreans, and I teamed up with them to do it." Lu Ming said without hiding anything.
"Brother Lu, you really have the courage of an immortal. I admire you, I admire you." Kang Ze didn't find it strange. Lu Ming has always been bold and bold.
Unless there is a clear instruction from the superior, he would never have the guts to do this kind of thing in private.
"Brother Kang, I grabbed too many arms and had no place to dispose of them, so I asked someone to deliver them to you. Your Rangers are also short of arms, right?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"What? Give it to me? That's great. Let me tell you, brother, our Rangers sound nice, but in fact they are similar to the Communist guerrillas. There are several people with one gun, and each gun is only issued with five rounds.
A bullet, if you send the arms, it will be a timely blessing." Kang Ze was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Brother Kang, in addition to giving you weapons and ammunition, I also did some personal business. I can only ask you to help me get through this matter." Lu Ming tested it.
"You said, as long as I can do it, it's all fine." Kang Ze said in a confident tone.
"It's like this. Someone ordered a batch of arms on the black market. His background was too big and I couldn't afford to offend him, so I had no choice but to agree to sell it to him. However, they gave me a lot of money. They paid me 20,000 silver dollars first, and the money was
I gave it to Brother Kang, but you have to cover up the number of guns and ammunition for me, even if you receive them all," Lu Ming said.
"I thought it was a big deal. There is no accurate figure for arms. You also gave me 20,000 silver dollars. You are too polite. I'm sorry."
Kang Ze thought that Lu Ming must have made a lot of money from it, but it didn't matter that he was tricking the Japanese.
"We are brothers. If we get rich, we will make a fortune. I will never forget you, brother." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Let me tell you, coming to this poor and remote place to fight against the Communist Party is a hard job. Even the salary is much worse than before. I am almost too poor to support my wife, and I am really short of money.
, I won’t say thank you more." Kang Ze complained.
"We brothers support each other, and the future is long. Anyway, after the goods arrive in Jiangxi, if there is anything wrong with it, please help me clear the customs." Lu Ming further took the precaution.
"Don't worry, just push it on me if you have any problems." Kang Ze didn't think there was much risk in this and agreed wholeheartedly.
He really didn't expect that a batch of arms and twenty thousand silver dollars would fall out of thin air. These were what he needed most. Lu Ming was simply his god of wealth and lucky star.
Kang Ze did not suspect that Lu Ming had any other intentions in hijacking the arsenal. He knew that Lu Ming was a patriotic liberal. As long as he got the opportunity to mess with the Japanese, Lu Ming would never let it go. This was also in line with Lu Ming.
A character who dares to speak and act.
But what makes Kanze wonder is why the Japanese military, which has always been as shrewd as a ghost, is so lax in guarding its secret arsenal.
It is said that Lu Ming's power is limited. How did he succeed?
But in any case, Lu Ming used the patriotic enthusiasm of the Koreans to attack the Japanese, which was very effective. He knew when he was in Shanghai that Lu Ming arranged for An Gonggen to join the Fuxing Society specifically to deal with the Japanese.
Nanjing had also conveyed similar news to him. The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea had no intention of intervening in China's internal disputes. They were willing to cooperate with various forces in China, including local armed forces, with only one purpose, to fight the Japanese to the death.
The last Hongkou bombing was a typical case. Naturally, North Koreans were involved this time, but what other secrets are hidden in it? I am afraid that only Lu Ming knows it.
Kang Ze didn't really believe the propaganda in the newspaper and felt that there must be some inside story.
After Lu Ming made this phone call, he felt a lot more relaxed. The retreat was finally laid out, it just depends on how far things will go.
Of course, it would be better if this escape route was not used, but he had a hunch that it would definitely be used, and it would depend on whether the road was wide enough.
