Leng Tiefeng said: "There was something wrong on the road, so I arrived late."
There was indeed something wrong with this last batch of gold. Just when Langya fished out the last 60 boxes, or six tons of gold, from the bottom of Yangcheng Lake and was about to transport them to the gold hiding place, he happened to run into a team of anti-smuggling agents.
The Japanese and puppet troops drove two speedboats passing by Yangcheng Lake, and they collided twice.
It was still dark at that time, and it was the darkest hour before dawn. After the Japanese and puppet troops discovered Langya's awning boat, they immediately started shouting excitedly, thinking that they had caught a smuggling boat. Because Jiangsu is close to Shanghai, smuggling activities are very serious.
Rampant, because the fees set by the pseudo-reformation government are very onerous, and without smuggling, there is no profit at all.
After discovering the awning boat, the two speedboats of the Japanese and puppet troops immediately separated and outflanked it.
Langya's awning boat was moving very slowly because it was carrying six tons of gold, so he was quickly overtaken.
But the Japanese were very cunning, and the two clippers did not get too close. Instead, they only sent one clipper over, and the other clipper stayed in the distance to be on guard. Therefore, Leng Tiefeng and the others were using lightning speed to cover.
After taking care of one ship, it took a lot of effort and a lot of time to seize the ship and chase the other one.
The soldier then asked warily: "Veteran, are there any survivors?"
"No, not a single one was left." Leng Tiefeng shook his head indifferently. The more than twenty puppet soldiers might not be punished to death, but who allowed them to catch up? In order to keep the secret of the gold, he had no choice but to kill them.
After sinking into the lake, he added, "The boat has also been scuttled by us. It is impossible for the little devil to discover it in a short time."
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief. No one was left alive, so there would be no danger of being exposed here.
At least there is no risk of exposure in a short period of time. As for what happens a few days later, it doesn't matter at all.
Leng Tiefeng whispered again: "Soldier, please hold on here for another eight hours. These eight hours are particularly important. Don't make any mistakes. Lao Xu has just sent a letter. In another seven or eight hours at most, the speedboat will arrive.
It will arrive when the time comes, and you and your sniper team will escort the gold onto the ship."
The soldier nodded and asked again: "Veteran, what about you?"
"I will come when the time comes, and Lao Xu will come if he can, but we won't come with you." Leng Tiefeng said, "Lao Xu said, those Americans are not necessarily good people. If we behave too much,
If you are too solemn, it might arouse their suspicion, and then it will be over for us."
What Xu Rui said was true. If more than fifty heavily armed Wolf Fangs were sent to escort two hundred and forty small wooden boxes, what would the American crew on the Atlanta freighter think? They would definitely think that these two hundred or so small wooden boxes
The box was so heavy, and so many armed men were assigned to escort it, so it must be filled with valuables.
Combined with the size of the box, the golden answer is readily apparent.
No one can guarantee that the Atlanta crew will not have the idea of taking advantage of others.
Xu Rui knows very well that Americans are never good birds, they are the sons of criminals!
Of course, Langya is not afraid of Atlanta's crew members being gangsters. Those ten sailors are really not enough for the Langya team members to fill their teeth. The question is, what to do next? Kill all the crew members, and then hijack the freighter.
Yes? Then the international influence is huge. Xu Rui is even pointing to the aid from the US government.
Therefore, the best way is to live in peace.
The soldier nodded and said, "But if an American asks, what should I say?"
Leng Tiefeng said in a deep voice: "Just say it was a batch of ammunition snatched from the Japanese."
"Ammunition?" the soldier frowned and said, "But it doesn't look like it. Such a small box is so heavy. How can ammunition be so heavy? Even cannonballs are not that heavy."
Leng Tiezhu slapped his forehead and said, "What you said reminded me that this is indeed a problem."
After a pause, Leng Tiefeng said again: "I will bring you two more boats of wooden boards later. You use these wooden boards to nail two hundred and forty large wooden boxes, and fix these small wooden boxes inside, so that nothing can be seen.
Problem."
The soldier said: "This is a good idea, but don't forget to bring more nails and hammers."
While he was talking, all the sixty small boxes in the two awning boats had been moved to the island in the middle of the lake. Leng Tiefeng gave the soldiers one last instruction, then took the main force of Langya back to the awning boat and sailed away.

Shanghai, Dofeihara Agency.
Poor Kenji Doihara is still kept in the dark by Xu Rui.
After receiving a report from Shun Nakamura that Lang Ya had stopped assassination operations, Kenji Doihara was quite happy because just now, he received a telegram from Yoshiko Kawashima from Dameishan, saying that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had stopped military operations.
, and this news was confirmed by the aviation corps directly under the Condemnation Army dispatched from Central China.
Kenji Doihara didn't know that he had been tricked.
(Dividing line)
At noon, Xu Rui and seven others arrived in Wuxi.
The distance from Shanghai to Wuxi is only more than two hundred miles, but the train ride by Xu Rui and the others took more than three hours. This is a so-called express. If you take the regular express, it will take a full eight hours! Because in this era
The average train speed is only 60 kilometers per hour, and there are many stops.
There is even a station in Baoxing Town, and Xu Rui and the others got off the train directly at Baoxing Station.
After getting off the car and leaving the station, Xu Rui and the others went straight to Xu Liufu's house.
At this time, people were already coming and going in the town. People were surprised by the arrival of Xu Rui and the others, but no one thought too much about it. They thought they were here to visit relatives and friends.
Seeing Xu Rui and the others walking to the gate of Xu Liufu's house, everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that he is a relative of Xu Laoliu's family. It's no wonder that he belongs to a wealthy family.
"Uncle Liu." After entering, Xu Rui bowed to Xu Liufu and said, "Please accept my bow!"
This time it was really all thanks to Xu Liufu. If Xu Liufu hadn’t provided cover and helped get two ships, Langya would have sunk more than 30 tons worth about 100 tons in Yangcheng Lake without anyone noticing.
It is absolutely impossible to salvage ten thousand taels of gold, so Xu Liufu has really made great contributions to the cause of the motherland's Anti-Japanese War this time.
Xu Liufu quickly helped Xu Rui: "Niece, what are you doing?"
Xu Rui kept bowing down and bowed three times to Xu Liufu.
Xu Liufu couldn't hide anymore, so he could only lean on his side and accept Xu Rui's three bows, and then said: "Eldest nephew, did you go to Shanghai this time and things went smoothly?"
"Thanks to Uncle Liu, everything is going well." Xu Rui said, "Miss Xiaoya is also very nice."
"As long as it goes well, as long as it goes well." Xu Liufu chuckled and said with a wink, "Well, you guys chat first, I'll go to the kitchen and ask Mother Song to prepare lunch." Xu Liufu knew that Xu Rui must have something going on.
He told Leng Tiefeng, so he made an excuse to leave, leaving space for Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng.
Xu Rui winked at Zhuan Shan Bao, and Zhuan Shan Bao immediately went out.
With a mountain leopard serving as a sentinel, you can safely talk about things without having to listen to the noise at all times.
Xu Rui first asked Leng Tiefeng: "Veteran, have you recovered the one million taels of gold from Yangcheng Lake?"
"Everything has been salvaged and is now being stored at the mouth of the Fushan River, on the Jiangxin Island in a reed marsh next to the iron yellow sand. The three soldiers are guarding it." Leng Tiefeng said, "When will the cargo ship Atlanta be available?"
arrive?"
Xu Rui said: "The cargo ship Atlanta should have arrived near Fushan by now. Next, they will deliberately create a glitch and stay in the Fushan section until night. After dark, the Atlanta will send two kayaks to pick up the ship.
, Veteran, you go back to Tieyangsha and wait there, personally escorting the gold to the freighter."
After a pause, Xu Rui specifically warned: "Remember, never let Americans touch gold!"
"Understood, I will keep an eye on the Americans." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "What about you, old devil Kenji Doihara, don't you smell the strange smell?"
"No." Xu Rui said, "Until now, this old devil has been kept in the dark."
Leng Tiefeng continued: "I made a small mistake. At dawn today, I encountered two Japanese anti-smuggling ships on the way to transport gold. As a result, I had no choice but to kill them."
"It's okay." Xu Rui said, "As long as your hands and feet are clean enough, it's impossible for the little devil to figure it out for a while. By the time they figure it out, we will have already returned to Damei Mountain."
After dinner, Leng Tiefeng took Zhuanshanbao and Han Feng away in a small boat.
In the middle of the afternoon, Han Feng came back in a small boat alone, but Leng Tiefeng and Zuanshan Bao stayed in Tieyangsha with Da Bing and the others. In the evening, Xu Rui took more than fifty people from the Langya Team
The team members left the Xu family compound and headed for Zhenjiang under the cover of night. They would cross the river in Zhenjiang and then head to Pukou.
It has to be said that the action plan Xu Rui formulated this time is very meticulous. At least until now, there have been no mistakes. The Dofeiyuan agency and even the entire Songhu area have been kept secret, including Dofeiyuan.
All the Japanese, including Xian Er, believed that Xu Rui was just taking the opportunity to increase his own worth.
No one knew that Xu Rui was just making excuses with the Japanese from the beginning to the end.
In addition, Langya's execution ability is indeed strong. Whether it is the assassination operation against the No. 76 special agent on Jisi Feier Road in Shanghai, or the salvage of gold here in Yangcheng Lake, except for a small mistake at the last moment,
There were no more mistakes, and even this little mistake was quickly plugged up.
So until now, Kenji Doihara didn't know that Xu Rui had purchased a complete set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a chemical factory from Shanghai, and that these two sets of equipment had boarded the American freighter Atlanta and was now sailing
After arriving at the Fushan section of the Yangtze River, this batch of equipment will arrive in a few hours!
