If he kept watching, he might find Xiao Ancheng and others boarding the ship to Wuhan. Actually not!
27-23
When discussing the details of the operation, Gong Binsheng asked, "What if someone is targeting you?"
Xiao Ancheng and Chen Zifeng looked at each other and had already calculated in their minds that if Yoshino's men didn't catch the boat back to Changsha, they would have to wait until nine o'clock in the evening!
Xiao Ancheng looked at Chen Zifeng with a smile, "Do you think he is willing to wait?"
Chen Zifeng curled his lips and said: "I don't even want to wait! Why should he wait! I have calculated this time. You have to go faster to Jiuhuashan Pier! If you miss the ship, damn it, our mission
Totally blind!”
Xiao Ancheng looked at Qiao Yanfang with a smile.
Qiao Yanfang immediately said: "You think we are stupid, we can't catch up even if we go so far! It's true!"
27-24
Now, Xiao Ancheng and others are on the passenger ship to Wuhan.
According to the action plan, they have to make a big circle and take a boat from Wuhan to Jiujiang and then to Nanchang!
Their estimated time is to arrive in Nanchang on the afternoon of June 13th! Therefore, they must not only pay attention to safety on the road, but also ensure that they arrive in Nanchang in time! Otherwise, they will have no time to prepare!
27-25
The last one to leave Changsha was actually the large army led by Gong Binsheng!
Nanchang station chief Xiao Manliu, Chen Zifeng, Leng Yue, and more than a dozen brothers from Li Xuehai's team are all in this team.
Their task is to carry necessary supplies. Therefore, everyone carries a large backpack, which contains their weapons, ammunition and radios. The most important of them is a large number of explosives!
To blow up the Japanese factory that prints counterfeit money, you can't do it without using explosives!
There is also a special person in this team, Yan Boling.
27-26
Two days ago, Gong Binsheng personally visited Yan Boling to ask Yan Boling to help them complete their mission, and talked about many important principles of the war of resistance.
But Yan Boling looked at him and remained unmoved. Later, Xiao Ancheng also went to persuade him and repeatedly said that he would ensure his safety. This Yan Boling remained unmoved!
Chen Zifeng simply didn't say anything. He felt that he couldn't talk to him!
Finally, Xiao Ancheng went to Xiaoyan specifically to ask why Yan Boling refused to help!
Xiaoyan smiled at him, walked directly to Yan Boling, and said a few words in his ear.
At this time, Yan Boling glared at Gong Binsheng, Xiao Ancheng and others, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I'll help you!"
Xiao Ancheng quietly asked Xiaoyan how she persuaded Yan Boling.
But Xiaoyan said with a smile: "Brother, don't ask, Uncle Yan can just go."
27-27
At ten o'clock on the night of June 12, two trucks drove the team led by Gong Binsheng directly to Zhuzhou.
At Zhuzhou Railway Station, they boarded an eastbound military train and drove quickly, finally getting off in Yichun.
The train can only go so far, as the tracks in front have been demolished by the national army!
In the corner outside Yichun Station, two trucks arranged by Gong Binsheng were waiting here. They all got on the trucks and drove eastward towards Xinyu.
After dawn, they got off the truck on the mountainside south of Xinyu, then picked up their big backpacks and headed into the mountains.
They want to bypass the Japanese blockade in Xinyu on the morning of June 13th. This distance is more than 20 kilometers. They want to arrive at a small dock called Shuixi Town, and then take a boat to Nanchang.
Arrive at Hanjiacun before dawn on the 4th!
This time is calculated and cannot be delayed! Otherwise, the entire task will be completely blind!
The mountain road is difficult to walk. The sun in June is already very hot. Everyone is sweating, carrying heavy backpacks, and walking with difficulty. Even Gong Binsheng is no exception!
Leng Yue is the only one in this team who does not carry a big backpack. She only carries her own small bag, but her task is not easy either!
Wearing a peasant woman's old clothes and a broken straw hat, she walked alone at the front, serving as the vanguard of the entire team.
This area of Xinyu County is still a Kuomintang-controlled area, but if you go a little further, you may encounter Japanese patrols.
Leng Yue's mission is to carefully avoid these patrols and buy time for the entire team to move forward!
27-28
On the afternoon of June 13, Xiao Ancheng's team first arrived in Nanchang.
The passenger ship terminal is at the mouth of the Fuhe River and at the foot of the Tengwang Pavilion, which is considered a prosperous place in Nanchang.
They followed many passengers who had just disembarked from the pier and observed the surrounding situation as they walked.
The scene in Nanchang is completely different from that in Changsha. At least it does not have the tragic appearance of being burned by fire. The streets are relatively neat and even prosperous and lively. There are many pedestrians on the street, and rickshaws are speeding past on the street with their bells ringing.
Xiao Ancheng checked the map and took them south along the road along the Fuhe River. Twenty minutes later, they found Zhongshan Road. Walking eastward along Zhongshan Road, only ten minutes later, they found
Went to Tiejie and saw the Zhengjin branch next to Tiejie!
Xiao Ancheng and Jiang Yufeng entered a small teahouse and sat down to drink tea.
Qiao Yanfang went out to look for a surveillance point. She quickly found a small hotel diagonally opposite the Zhengjin branch and rented several rooms.
27-29
As soon as Xiao Ancheng entered the guest room, he and Qiao Yanfang sat in front of the window and observed the Zhengjin branch diagonally opposite.
This is a three-story building, quite spacious, even grand. It is no wonder that Jiangxi Yumin Bank, which is equivalent to a provincial bank, must choose such a large building to be suitable!
The door is tall and spacious, decorated with Roman columns on the side and cirrus carvings on the top of the door, which looks somewhat European in style.
This bank is built on a hill. According to the previous name, this hill is called Zongzhen Slope. Therefore, there are eight stone steps in front of the bank. On both sides of the steps, there are two stone lions, which look very majestic.
!
The most important thing is that door! What is open outside is an iron door, or simply, a double-open iron door with small windows but no carvings. Once such an iron door is closed, it is
It can't be opened easily!
Inside the iron door is a wooden framed glass door. There are springs on the door. When someone comes in or out, the door will bounce in and out a few times before it stops. Obviously, there are many customers in the bank at this time, and people come in and out from time to time.
, that door bounced all the way around, almost never stopping!
After all, it is a bank, and safety comes first. Thick iron bars are installed outside all the windows on the third floor! It is difficult for outsiders to get in! Once the operation starts, even if the Japanese army wants to attack by force, it will probably take a while!
Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang looked at each other. They were both very satisfied with the door and windows!
Although they had a lot of people coming, once the operation started, it was impossible to arrange people to monitor every window!
27-30
As the first step of the entire operation, Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang held their arms, leisurely walked up the eight stone steps, and walked into the bank door.
When they entered, they once again observed the large iron door outside and the glass door inside.
The lobby inside the bank is quite spacious and brightly lit.
A tall, long counter with a marble top divides the business hall into two parts, the inside and the outside.
There are seven or eight staff working at the counter. Outside the counter, there are more than a dozen customers waiting to handle business.
There are several rooms on both sides of the hall, and bank employees come in and out from time to time. There is a wide staircase in the hall that leads to the upper floor. There are several tables in front of the south window in the hall, and people are sitting at the tables drinking tea.
There are also people writing documents and the like on the table.
The layout of the entire business hall is similar to what Xiao Manliu introduced.
It's a pity that they can't go upstairs. I don't know what's going on up there. Stationmaster Xiao doesn't know either!
Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang each took a receipt for business transactions. They pointed at the document and discussed it while walking around and observing the surrounding situation.
Qiao Yanfang smiled and whispered: "Brother, there are a little few guests."
Xiao Ancheng also laughed, this is really a problem! According to the plan they made, there will be fewer customers in the business hall, and there may be some trouble when the operation is over.
He whispered: "Occupy the bank tomorrow afternoon, no problem!"
Qiao Yanfang immediately said: "This must be no problem!"
Xiao Ancheng said with a smile: "We can only let in some guests the day after tomorrow. I hope we can get thirty or forty people!"
Qiao Yanfang said: "I judge that there are at least 30 bank employees!"
Xiao Ancheng nodded, "This amount is not bad!"
Qiao Yanfang leaned into his ear and said, "The key is, I wonder if Mrs. Matsuura and her daughter will come!"
Xiao Ancheng nodded, "This is the key! We can only look at it then! If they don't come, we can't take action!"

In the blacksmith shop in Hanjia Village, southern suburb of Nanchang.
On the morning of June 14th, at dawn, the blacksmith Uncle Han, who heard the knock on the door, opened the door of the blacksmith shop, rubbing his dizzy eyes. As soon as he saw his niece outside, he immediately grinned.
stand up.
But his laughter stopped abruptly. He soon saw Gong Binsheng and Chen Zifeng behind Han Dan.
Their faces are a bit gloomy and a bit fierce, and they are not kind-hearted people at first glance!
Han Dan pushed him and said with a smile: "Uncle, let's go in and talk."
Uncle Han led them into the kitchen, where it was quieter.
Gong Binsheng's first sentence was: "Master Han, we are the national army and we are performing tasks here! Are you willing to help us?"
Uncle Han looked to be in his forties, his face turned purple from the fire, and his wrinkles revealed vicissitudes of life and hardship. His thick arms were exposed, with some scars from forging burns.
He stared at Gong Binsheng with wide eyes, then looked back at his niece Han Dan, and was speechless for a while.
Han Dan patted his arm and said with a smile: "Uncle, they just stay here for a day and leave as soon as it gets dark."
Uncle Han said worriedly: "Dandan, uncle has a family!"
Han Dan said: "There are two nephews at my old aunt's place. I'll go tell them. As long as they keep silent and don't say anything, it will be fine. Old uncle, they just want to deal with the Japanese. What do you think?"
