Seeing that the captain who had just proposed to raid the convoy wanted to continue talking, he encouraged the commander to agree to his proposal.
The captain of the action team finally couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Sir, I object due to my humble position."
"In the past, when the pharmaceutical factory had only a hundred people escorting the convoy, our operations had never been successful. Now that the action team has not recovered from the heavy losses, the total strength of the pharmaceutical factory escorting the convoy has increased to more than 300 people.
The other will wax and wane, and rash actions will definitely not succeed."
"Baozong believes that not only can we not attack the convoy, but we must also ensure that the convoy reaches Xi'an safely so that the transaction between the pharmaceutical factory and Chongqing can be successfully completed."
"The pharmaceutical factories are so heavily guarded that it is almost impossible to get the penicillin production formula from them."
"In this case, we can completely change the target of action."
"After Chongqing completes the transaction with the pharmaceutical factory, Chongqing will have a complete production formula in its hands."
"The empire has deployed a large number of intelligence personnel within Chongqing, and our Chongqing branch also has spies in many departments. Compared to directly obtaining the penicillin production formula from pharmaceutical companies, it is definitely easier here in Chongqing."
The head of the branch's brows, which were frowning just now, immediately relaxed.
He has been dealing with Chongqing for more than a year or two.
Compared with pharmaceutical factories, Chongqing, which has a mixed population, is obviously easier to deal with.
Make an immediate decision: “Let’s do it!”
"Order the action teams and intelligence personnel along the route. No one can act rashly without my order."
"As long as Chongqing gets the penicillin production formula, we are not far away from getting the formula."
At the connection point less than 30 kilometers away from Xi'an, Hong Linfeng led the mobile battalion and baggage company, and has been lurking here for almost a week.
When it was time to see that the dry food carried by the troops was about to be eaten up, the radio station that had been quiet for several days finally started to make some noise.
"Chief of Staff, the leader of the regiment sent an urgent message. The convoy passed in front of us at two o'clock in the morning today. In order to avoid attracting the attention of outsiders, the convoy can only stop here for twenty minutes. The leader of the regiment asked us to prepare in advance and complete it within twenty minutes.
Unloading and loading of all trucks.”
"It's a bit stressful!" Hong Linfeng frowned.
Turning to the mobile battalion commander Liu Yutian, he asked: "Are the boxes and stones ready for loading into the truck ready?"
"Chief of Staff, don't worry, everything is ready. Each truck has thirty boxes, all filled with stones, and sealed. Unless they are opened on the spot, outsiders will never believe that the stones are inside."
Hong Linfeng's frown eased a lot, and he continued: "The mobile battalion and its heavy company have less than 400 people, and each truck can be divided into an average of 13 people. The soldiers escorting the vehicles are almost 20 people per truck.
It takes ten minutes to unload the truck and ten minutes to load it, that’s about it.”
"Liu Battalion Commander, we will split up now and organize the thirteen cadres and soldiers into a group. The groups are separated by twenty meters and scattered on this stretch of road. Each action group is responsible for one truck."
"When the convoy arrives, one car stops and we get in as a group to complete the unloading and loading tasks in the shortest possible time."
The Japanese gave up the action and Chongqing decided to wait a little longer. The convoy holding the pass traveled smoothly without any problems.
"The convoy is coming!" Two beams of car lights appeared at the end of the road. Although they were nearly two kilometers apart, the observation post could still see them clearly.
"Get ready to take action..." Hong Linfeng ordered decisively.
The relaxed nerves became tense again.
From now on, there must be no accidents in the next twenty minutes, otherwise the entire transportation will be in vain.
"In a small group, the things unloaded from the truck are piled to the side first, and then they are transported to the mountains after loading." As soon as the first truck stopped in front of Hong Linfeng, a serious command came from his mouth.
come out.
A dozen warriors sprang out from the bushes on the roadside like ghosts.
Several soldiers escorting the car in the carriage also moved, lifted the raincloth, and worked in pairs to move boxes outside the carriage. Someone was following next...
Things are packed into boxes, so the loading and unloading speed is faster than expected.
Exactly fifteen minutes later, the first truck was covered with raincloth again, started slowly with a roar, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Don't be stunned. Immediately send the things unloaded from the car into the mountains and hide them. It's too dangerous on the side of the road..." the company platoon leader scattered among the various action groups reminded.
There were a total of fifty large trucks in the convoy. One after another, they stalled and stopped, and then left one after another, as if they had been rehearsed in advance without attracting anyone's attention.
Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory, it's already four o'clock in the morning, and there is still no news about Li Hao.
Standing behind Zhou Liang, staring at the radio station in front of Zhou Liang, his face was serious.
"Didi...didi...didi..." The signal light came on, and the familiar beeping sound reached Li Hao's ears.
Zhou Liang quickly cheered up, controlled the radio station with his left hand, and held the pen in his right hand, and quickly started to receive signals.
Soon, a smile appeared on Zhou Liang's lips.
He put down his earphones and reported: "Captain, this is good news from Captain Xiao."
"The convoy has successfully arrived at the Xi'an Pharmaceutical Factory and is unloading!"
Just as he finished speaking, the radio signal light came on again.
The radio station, which had been silent for less than a minute, started beeping again.
Zhou Liang quickly returned to his seat, quickly put on his earphones, controlled the radio, and wrote the contents of the telegram.
"It's the chief of staff's telegram. All supplies are hidden, and the whole stealing and replacing operations went very smoothly." A few minutes later, Zhou Liang put down his earphones and reported with excitement.
"A total of twelve technical experts, including Deputy Director Lin, are all safe and have been moved deep into the mountains to rest. They will return to the base tonight."
"Also sent back are 300 rounds of heavy artillery shells, 500 rounds of heavy mortar shells, 1,000 rounds of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, some important equipment and penicillin stock solution."
Li Hao's serious face finally showed a smile: "As long as the action goes well."
"Call back to the Chief of Staff. I would rather bring less stuff to ensure the safety of Deputy Director Lin and all technical staff."
"Call Xiao Yuan back. After the unloading is completed, the team will rest for a day in Xi'an and return to Chongqing after dark for the second transportation."
In an office of the Military and Political Department, the lieutenant colonel who proposed immediate action last time came over again.
"Sir, the second shipment from the pharmaceutical factory has started."
"There are still fifty trucks. According to the four thousand kilograms load-bearing plan for each truck, the total of the two trips is 400,000 kilograms of supplies."
"If this contains half the ammunition we're looking for, that's millions of rounds of ammunition."
"Once it falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, their strength will definitely increase greatly."
The major general replied confidently: "Don't worry, even if you really have ammunition, you won't be able to escape."
"I have contacted the Xi'an garrison and dispatched a main force to keep an eye on the pharmaceutical factory to ensure that not a single box will fly out of the pharmaceutical factory under our noses."
"As long as we start taking action here, they will also take action together to ensure that everyone gets the stolen goods."
"Sir, you are wise..." The lieutenant colonel did not expect that his boss had such skills, so he quickly complimented him.
Then he continued to ask: "Then when will we take action?"
"We will take action when the convoy comes back!" the major general replied with certainty.
