In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Bing came to Li Yunsheng with a telegram: "Section Chief, Sparrow just sent a telegram saying that a Japanese warship has arrived in the port. It is the same information as the Americans provided."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then said: "Call back to the sparrow and tell him that he doesn't have to keep watching." Since he has the information about the Americans and knows that this is a large number of poison gas bombs, there is no need for Zhou Wei to keep an eye on it.
Yes, after all, there are some dangers in doing this.
Xu Bing said immediately: "I'll go right away, but section chief, do you want to inform Sparrow and let Batluo check where the Japanese will put these things? This will make it easier to get accurate information."
Since getting the information from the Americans, Li Yunsheng informed several of his confidants about the news and sent Liu Gang to investigate the situation near the dock, so Xu Bing naturally knew the whole story.
Li Yunsheng shook his head and said confidently: "Now that we have the approximate location and know that the Japanese will use a squadron to guard it, we can find the location ourselves, so we should not use bats."
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Xu Bing immediately stopped talking and went to send a telegram.
At night, Liu Gang found Li Yunsheng: "Section Chief, I have checked the map near Wusongkou Pier and found that there are a total of six independent warehouses within five kilometers of the terminal. The rest of the places are not very big."
"It's appropriate." Since there are Japanese-occupied areas near the pier, we can't blatantly check the situation with tea. We can only use the map to understand it.
Li Yunsheng asked calmly: "Can we send someone to see the situation on the spot?"
Liu Gang said softly: "We have sent people there. There are Japanese guards in these places, but there are not many people and horses, and there is no large amount of goods transported in."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "The Japanese are so slow in their actions. The gas bombs arrived in the afternoon, but they haven't been put into storage yet."
Liu Gang was also a little confused about this, but the situation was like this and he couldn't understand it.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao on the side quickly said: "Section Chief, poison gas bombs are very dangerous. I think the Japanese will be very careful. Moreover, this thing is banned internationally. After all, it is inconvenient to transport it during the day. I think they may intend to
We transport it at night, so we can hide it from others."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said in agreement: "What you said makes sense," and then asked Liu Gang: "Are there people stationed near each warehouse to keep an eye on it?"
Liu Gang nodded and said affirmatively: "I have sent two people to keep an eye on each warehouse. If there is any movement from the Japanese, they will come back and report."
Li Yunsheng nodded again and waited patiently for the news.
At about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, one of his subordinates ran back and reported the situation excitedly: "Section Chief, the Japanese have made some movement. Just now, the Japanese suddenly sent more than 300 people to the warehouse we were watching. After passing
Soon, cars kept coming, and because we were afraid of being discovered, we stayed a little far away and couldn’t see clearly what was being transported.”
Li Yunsheng suddenly stood up, and then said confidently: "The transportation in the middle of the night must be poison gas bombs," and then asked: "Which warehouse are you looking at, and how many vehicles are transporting things to the warehouse."
The subordinate immediately said: "This is the Taining warehouse, and there are at least a dozen vehicles transporting it."
As soon as his subordinates finished speaking, Zhang Hao took out the map, pointed to the location of the Taining warehouse, and said to Li Yunsheng: "Section chief, the Taining warehouse is a medium-sized warehouse, five kilometers away from the dock and seven kilometers away from the French Concession.
Kilometers, there are some factories around it, but due to the outbreak of the war, it is very close to the fighting place, so it has been abandoned."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "While it's dark now, let's go over there to see the situation," and then took Zhang Hao and a few of his men out.
An hour later, Li Yunsheng and others arrived near the Taining warehouse. At this time, there was still a subordinate watching here. When he saw Li Yunsheng and others coming, he quickly came over to report the situation.
After his men finished speaking, Li Yunsheng was also surprised. He didn't expect that the Japs had brought so many poison gas bombs. In just one hour, the convoy drove back and forth three times without any intention of stopping. It was really surprising.
, and then began to watch the situation in the distant warehouse.
The place where Li Yunsheng's men chose to stare at the warehouse was also an abandoned factory. Since it was nearly two kilometers away from the warehouse, the Japanese could not easily find it. However, everything has two sides. Although the distance made it difficult for the Japanese to find it, if you want to think about it,
It's not easy to see clearly the situation in the warehouse.
A few people found the highest factory building and went up there. After checking the warehouse for a while, Zhang Hao said, "Section Chief, the distance is too far. You can't see clearly from here."
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "It's a bit far, but that's all it can do. If you move further forward, there will be no cover, and the Japanese have set up a patrol five hundred meters away from the warehouse. We can't get close at all."
Zhang Hao thought about it carefully, then he thought about it and said simply: "Section Chief, why don't I take advantage of the darkness and go over to check the situation."
Li Yunsheng shook his head and said calmly: "Even if you go there, you won't be able to detect anything useful. After all, it's impossible to sneak into the warehouse, and the nearby situation won't be of much use."
Zhang Hao frowned and said, "Section Chief, what should we do?"
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "Leave a few people here to watch the Japanese movements, and we will go back and find a solution." After that, he picked out four of his subordinates, asked them to stay and watch the Japanese movements, and then took the rest back.
.
After returning to the station, Zhang Hao immediately asked: "Section Chief, have you thought of any solution?"
Li Yunsheng said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there was no good solution. After all, there is a squadron of Japanese guards. It's not like you don't know their combat effectiveness."
Zhang Hao thought for a while and then suggested: "How about we report the matter to the Corps Headquarters and ask Commander Chen to send an elite force to attack this place."
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "The troops guarding the warehouse are a reorganized squadron, with a total of three hundred people. If you want to quickly eliminate these three hundred people, you need at least a regiment of troops, and they must have heavy weapons, otherwise it will be impossible."
This point, if so many people are dispatched to enter the Japanese-occupied area, they will not be able to hide it from the Japanese. If there are fewer people, they will not be able to attack in a short time, and the Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon, so it is not feasible at all.
.”
Zhang Hao said in embarrassment: "Section Chief, what should we do? With our strength, even if we find this place, there is nothing we can do."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "People always come up with solutions. Don't worry now. The Japanese gas bombs are still there and they can't escape. As long as you calm down, you will always find a solution."
Zhang Hao immediately stopped talking, and then began to think hard.
At this time, Xu Bing on the side said: "Section Chief, why do we need to attack by force? Our purpose is to destroy those gas bombs, so we only need to blow up the warehouse."
Li Yunsheng immediately asked: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Xu Bing said with a smile: "Section Chief, I remember that you have several experts who dig tunnels. As long as you dig the tunnels under the warehouse and then bury a large amount of explosives, you can destroy the gas bombs effortlessly.
The little devils from that squadron will also go to the West together."
After listening to Xu Bing's words, Li Yunsheng began to think about whether this was feasible, and Zhang Hao on the side immediately said: "It's not that easy. This warehouse is not small and very strong. It is not an arms warehouse. There is only some poisonous gas in it."
A bomb cannot cause an explosion at all. To completely blow up the contents inside, we don’t know how much explosives are needed. It is difficult to achieve this based on our ability."
After hearing Zhang Hao's words, Xu Bing was immediately stunned, and then said apologetically: "It's just that I kept things simple."
Li Yunsheng immediately spoke to comfort him: "You have never done these things before, so it is inevitable that you have not thought carefully, but this method has no chance of success."
Zhang Hao immediately asked: "Section Chief, most of this warehouse is a cement structure, which is very solid. We don't know the specific location of the gas bomb. It is difficult to completely blow up the contents without causing a fatal explosion."
destroy."
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "We can use a large amount of explosives to blow up the entire warehouse. Even if we cannot destroy all the gas bombs, we can also destroy some of them. In addition, we can dig a deep pit under the warehouse so that after the warehouse collapses,
, they will bury the remaining gas bombs. No matter how dangerous the gas bombs are, the Japanese would not dare to clean them up."
Zhang Hao frowned and said: "But we don't know the situation of the warehouse. If we want to blow up the strong warehouse, we must find his key points."
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "If we don't understand, there will always be someone who understands. The Taining warehouse was not built in a day or two. Its original owner and the people who work in the warehouse will understand the situation inside. As long as these people are found, it will be fine."
Already."
Xu Bing also said immediately: "Section Chief, you can also try to find the drawings of this warehouse. Maybe the Shanghai Municipal Government has information about this warehouse. If you can't find it, you can also look for the designer of the warehouse."
Li Yunsheng immediately nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, as long as you find the same drawing or designer, things will be easier." Then he told Zhang Hao: "I'll leave this matter to you."
Zhang Hao said simply: "Section chief, don't worry, I will complete the task as soon as possible."
Li Yunsheng then ordered Liu Gang: "You should investigate and see if any of our people are good at digging tunnels. In addition, send a telegram to Nanjing and ask people in Nanjing to send the Qian family and his son to Shanghai."
They were all peripheral members. In addition, Li Yunsheng thought that they would not be used, so he did not take them with him when he came to Shanghai. However, he did not expect that such a situation would happen, so he had to send people back. After all, even if he had someone who was good at digging tunnels, he would not be able to use them.
Without their expertise, I'm afraid I can only do the preliminary work. Fortunately, Nanjing and Shanghai are not far apart, and it only takes a day or two to get there.
Liu Gang nodded immediately, and then they went their separate ways.
