Even the lanterns prepared by Guozhang were lit. He delivered these lit lanterns to each officer, and then took the lead in getting into the hole. The other officers, led by Chief Luo, couldn't wait to get into the hole!
27-13
Most of the long stone steps have been blown to pieces by explosives, so you can only barely step down.
The officers could only hold on to the wall and walk down cautiously.
At the bottom of the steps, there is an iron door that was split open with an axe. Entering further, you will find the basement of the Funan Official Money Bureau!
Although there were many lanterns shining in the basement, it was still dark and gloomy.
But everyone saw the scene clearly! One side of the basement was filled with yellow and damp cardboard boxes. The cardboard boxes were rotten and collapsed, and damp and rotten small-denomination bills were scattered on the floor.
These are the missing two-cent banknotes! Legend has it that the total amount is two hundred thousand, but looking at it now, this amount is indeed there!
The other side of the basement is filled with thick and sturdy wooden shelves. Silver ingots, silver ingots and silver dollars are neatly placed on the shelves! There are so many of them, it’s unbelievable!
Chu Kuncheng, chairman of the Changsha Construction Committee, took a breath and said loudly: "Three hundred thousand! There must be three hundred thousand!"
The president of the Changsha Branch of the Hunan Provincial Bank said: "Two! It's two! Three hundred thousand taels!"
Everyone was walking around in the basement in shock, looking at the silver with reluctance! From time to time they raised the lantern in their hands, shining it in the east and west, as if they wanted to discover something else.
Gong Binsheng took a look at the basement, turned around and said to Chen Zifeng: "Okay, we've seen it, let's go back!"
Han Dan looked around and saw that there were no guards nearby. He reached out and picked up a palm-sized silver ingot, put it into his purse, and whispered: "Damn it, I can only get so much! It's so damned.
!”
After leaving the basement, Chen Zifeng walked next to Gong Binsheng and whispered: "Sir, is this money none of our business?"
Gong Binsheng sneered and stared at him, "Don't even think about it! No one can tell what will happen to this money in the end! But just wait and see, this is just a piece of rotten meat, and there will be countless green-headed flies surrounding it! Let's just wait and see.
Don’t get caught up in this bad smell! Let’s go and do our business!”
27-14
In the next day, Gong Binsheng organized his people who did come down yesterday to study the task at hand together!
This mission is divided into two parts. One part is to control the Zhengjin branch at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Tiejie Street in Nanchang in the name of robbery! The other part is to try our best to destroy the Japanese printing house, and destroy as many as possible!
The former task is a big move, but it is not the main purpose! The latter task must be completed, but it must be accurately coordinated with the previous task! If the cooperation is not good, both tasks will be difficult to complete!
People like Chen Zifeng are all veteran agents, and they are particularly meticulous in formulating action plans!
How to enter Nanchang, how to settle down, how to control the bank, how to destroy the printing factory, every step and every detail, they must consider and formulate a detailed action plan!
At this time, they gradually realized that Chief Gong had actually thought about this task clearly!
In the mission of destroying the printing factory, there is a small detail, which is to steal the key from the pocket of the printing factory director!
Only then did they understand why Chief Gong wanted Miss Xiaoyan to participate! She has the best little thieves under her command!
Miss Xiaoyan looked at them a little sarcastically, curled her lips and said, "Is that all?"
Gong Binsheng smiled and said: "It's a small matter, but it's very important! Miss Xiaoyan must have the right person."
Xiaoyan said casually: "I'll just take the firewood and stones with me. They won't have any problems!"
When studying the place to stay in Nanchang, the participants had a bit of a debate. The focus of the debate was which was safer! The hotel was denied, the home was also denied, and the raid on a rich man's home was also denied.
!
However, determining a safe foothold is the first step for them to take action.
Gong Binsheng looked at the people at the table one by one and said softly: "This problem must be solved first!"
At this time, his eyes fell on Han Dan's face and said, "Miss Han, what are you thinking about?"
Han Dan stared at him sharply, staring at him very angrily! After a moment of silence, he curled his lips and said: "Sir Gong, I'm afraid you have already thought about who you want to find! You might as well say it, I'll see if it works.
!you say!"
Chief Gong said: "Miss Han, do you have a distant cousin?"
Han Dan glared at him fiercely, "Sir Gong, I don't see that you have really worked hard! Even my seventh and eighth aunts have been found out!"
Chief Gong said: "I'm sorry, but to complete the mission, this is the first priority."
Han Dan rolled his eyes at him and finally said to the people at the table: "I am from Nanchang! When I was a child, I often went to this old uncle's house to watch him forging iron! He was a blacksmith and lived in Hanjia Village in the southern suburbs! Chief Gong,
Let me tell you, it’s okay, it’s okay! But if you hurt someone from our Han family, I won’t be polite to you!”
Chief Gong's eyes also darkened, but what he said was: "Not only me, but everyone will be cautious! I can't say anything more. I can only ask everyone to be careful and try their best not to make mistakes! Miss Han, I am like this
Say yes!"
Shen Yimei pulled her to sit down. Han Dan bulged his red mouth again and again, and finally said no more!
Later, when they were studying the retreat plan, they encountered a problem. They had done such a big job in Nanchang, and when they got to a certain place on the outskirts of the city, they had to have someone armed to respond! But they had to secretly place a group of National Army soldiers.
It is absolutely impossible to get to that area!
At this time, Gong Binsheng turned back, looked at Shen Yimei with a smile, and said gently: "Ms. Shen, I know that you have your guerrillas over there in southern Jiangxi. I also heard that there is a man named Zhang Changwu who leads a guerrilla force.
The team of No. 100 is so elusive that it gives the Japanese a headache! Ms. Shen, can you contact Captain Zhang?"
Shen Yimei stared at him motionless for a moment, then said: "Sir Gong, I come from Wuhan, and I don't know much about the situation in Hunan and Jiangxi."
Gong Binsheng still said gently: "Can I ask? Without this team to support us, we may fall short!"
Shen Yimei stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going to ask now."
Gong Binsheng warned her again, "I hope you can give me a result tomorrow night at the latest."
Shen Yimei stared at him, said nothing, got up and left.
27-15
In the next two days, Gong Binsheng organized Chen Zifeng, Xiao Manliu and others to refine the entire action plan step by step, down to every detail! Who is where, what is being done, what situations are encountered, and what measures are taken.
What kind of measures and what things need to be prepared! Wait, wait, etc., they have been carefully studied and arranged.
Among them, what needs to be prepared is their equipment!
Don’t mention it, you must bring long and short weapons, as well as enough grenades and explosives! No one knows when you will need it!
All items to be used in the operation must be prepared, designated someone to carry, handed over to someone for use, etc.
Because the operation is divided into two parts, two radio stations are required. Xiao Ancheng uses one and Li Xuehai uses one. As soon as they enter Nanchang, the radio station must be turned on to keep in touch at all times.
When preparations reached this point, Chief Gong raised a question that no one had thought of!
He said: "Chen Zifeng, you and Xiao Ancheng are operating separately. You are in charge of the printing factory and Xiao Ancheng is in charge of the bank. But when it comes to the final step, when it is time to evacuate, if you two are not together, it may not be enough! The Japanese may not let it go.
Everyone else, leave! This is what I’m thinking of, please think about it.”
The issue mentioned by Chief Gong is the last step to negotiate with the Japanese to let Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng stay so that others can leave safely! When the old beggar was caught in Zhupeng, Chen Zifeng proposed to Kawakami that he
and Yang Sanqiang stayed, but Kawakami disagreed and insisted that Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng stay at the same time!
Therefore, Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng must stay together and stay at the same time, so that the Japanese can let others leave safely!
But the top priority of this operation is to blow up the printing factory behind the gendarmerie! The two most cunning people went to Zhengjin Bank, which is a bit indifferent, and may even affect the most important task!
The general order of these two tasks is to first capture the Zhengjin branch and attract the Japanese military police! At the same time, secretly make arrangements in the printing factory. After Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng stay and the others have left safely, then explode the printing factory!
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng's safe departure should take at least two days!
This detail was discussed over and over again, and finally it was Chief Gong who made the decision.
He said: "Okay, I'll go too! I, stationmaster Xiao, and captain Han will be in charge of the printing factory! Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng, Qiao Yanfang, and Leng Yue will be in charge of Zhengjin Bank! We will keep in touch at all times!"
At this point, the entire action plan is completely ready, just waiting for action!
27-16
In these two days, as Gong Binsheng said, the silver hidden in the basement of the former Funan Official Money Bureau was really like a piece of rotten meat, attracting flies from all walks of life who wanted a piece of the pie!
People from all walks of life flocked to Changsha. They colluded with each other, conspired in whispers, joined forces vertically and horizontally, and intrigued each other, all trying to get the largest share of this batch of money!
All the money was ordered by Chief Luo to be transported by truck to the warehouse of the Security Headquarters, and heavily guarded. In Chief Luo's view, being able to do this was tantamount to gaining an advantage!
The first person to walk into his office was both expected and unexpected.
The fat secretary-general of the provincial government and the secretary-general of the Ninth War Zone Secretariat came hand in hand. Following them were Gui Longhai and Qin Yali.
The immediate boss of these two secretaries-general is Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone and the chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government!
