Chen Zifeng noticed that Wei Jiechen beside him moved, and immediately grabbed his arm, signaling him not to move.
The road here is narrow and the truck slows down.
They watched helplessly as the truck slowly passed in front of them, and also looked at the alert faces of the Japanese soldiers in the truck!
After a few minutes, the truck finally disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
Wei Jiechen turned back and stared at Chen Zifeng, "What are you doing? Cancel the action!"
Chen Zifeng was in great pain! He whispered: "They are too vigilant! There is no chance for us!"
Wei Jiechen still asked: "Then what are you doing? Do you want to cancel the operation?"
Chen Zifeng felt even more painful! The action cannot be canceled! If it is canceled, Peng Shaoyong will not spare him! But if he really needs to take action! His brothers will be in great danger! Even none of them can escape!
He closed his eyes and hesitated again and again, and finally whispered: "Wait for the next trip! Wait for the next trip!"
Wei Jiechen said nothing. The next trip was at three o'clock in the morning. He also hoped that by three o'clock in the morning, the Japanese soldiers would be at least a little tired! He hoped that those soldiers could close their eyes while sitting in the truck and have a good rest!
Oh, Japanese brothers, you have worked too hard! Just close your eyes! He could only pray like this in his heart!
25-15
At two o'clock in the morning, Xiao Ancheng and Lin Jiatai were lying in the depression between the railway tracks.
There was no movement at all on the dirt road east of the arsenal! Could it be that Chen Zifeng and Wei Jiechen had done it? They were changing clothes at this time?
But they all have bad feelings in their hearts, very bad feelings!
A few minutes later, the truck pulled off the dirt road.
They barely needed to open their eyes to know that the Japanese soldiers in the truck were still the same Japanese soldiers! They had not changed! Chen Zifeng did not do anything!
"What's going on?" Lin Jiatai asked softly.
"I don't know. Maybe I didn't find the opportunity?" Xiao Ancheng could only guess this way.
"Maybe, they have to wait for the next bus?"
"Maybe. The later it is, the more tired people will be! Maybe the next trip will be more suitable!"
"Shall we continue to wait?"
"Keep waiting! What can you do if you don't wait!"
They were all silent. The deeper the night got, the colder it became. They wrapped their clothes tightly and waited anxiously.
25-16
Time is very slow. Every second that passes takes a long time!
Anxiety is like a file, constantly sharpening the nerves of each of them! It makes a squeaking sound!
Finally, the watch on Chen Zifeng's wrist reached three o'clock! It was three o'clock in the morning!
Wei Jiechen whispered: "Zifeng, we can't wait any longer! If we wait any longer, what will be the result?"
Chen Zifeng said nothing. What worried him was his brothers! What the brothers did following him was indeed a life-threatening thing! But he really didn't want them to risk their lives!
Finally, the roar of a truck was heard again from the other side of the intersection, and the lights swayed at the intersection. The truck turned around again and drove onto the dirt road, heading this way.
The truck was getting closer and closer. Chen Zifeng stared at the Japanese soldiers in the truck with wide eyes! Bastards! Not only did they not look tired! They even stared at the surroundings with wide eyes!
He screamed in pain. The vigilance of the Japanese soldiers showed that they had been warned! The situation in front of them was actually a trap! Just waiting for them to jump on the truck!
The truck had arrived in front of him. He reached out to grab Wei Jiechen next to him, but he didn't catch it!
Immediately afterwards, he saw Wei Jiechen's huge body jumping onto the truck!
Chen Zifeng jumped into the truck without even a second of hesitation!
When Wei Jiechen swung his dagger and stabbed the first Japanese soldier to death, the first gunshot rang in his ears!
When Chen Zifeng also jumped into the truck, a second gunshot also rang out! The gunshot was sharp and ear-piercing!
At this point, even if this action is destined to fail, we can only continue!
The soldiers in the truck are just soldiers no matter how brave they are. The person who jumps on the truck is the real killer!
There were four of them in total! Armed with daggers, they tried their best to assassinate the Japanese soldiers on the truck.
On the truck, the rifle was useless, not even as useful as a wooden stick! The daggers in the hands of Chen Zifeng and others stabbed continuously! But the third gunshot sounded again!
A desperate struggle is also going on in the cab!
Faintly, Chen Zifeng heard shouting in the distance, and it continued. He guessed that it might be coming from the gate of the arsenal! The Japanese soldiers guarding the gate would rush over soon!
He shouted: "The operation is cancelled! Everyone retreat north!"
But before he finished speaking, there was a burst of machine gun shooting from the north! He was shocked! He didn't expect that there were Japanese troops in the north! There were Japanese troops on three sides now! The Japanese had planned it long ago! They were to block them in this way.
Dirt road!
Then, he heard another burst of gunfire from the east. The gunfire from the north seemed to be suppressed, but was still firing.
He guessed that the gunfire in the east might be a small force of the New Fourth Army blocking the attack!
But more gunfire rang out from the east. Machine gunfire continued continuously! There was a squadron of Japanese troops over there! He could imagine that the small New Fourth Army unit was actually being attacked from two sides!
At this time, gunshots were heard from behind Chen Zifeng and others! The Japanese troops rushing from the gate blocked the intersection and fired continuously inside!
He threw the rifle from the truck to the brothers under the truck. They had to split up to block the enemies in front and behind!
The mission to explode the arsenal has already failed! What they are doing now is to save themselves!
25-17
The people who saw this sudden battle most clearly were Xiao Ancheng and Lin Jiatai at the station!
When the first gunfire rang out, the Japanese soldiers rushed out from the gate and rushed to the east. After only ten seconds, the entire area was completely immersed in fierce gunfire!
Lin Jiatai had already raised his machine gun, and he was ready to rush to the roadside to block the Japanese troops rushing out of the gate. But as soon as the gunfire rang out from the east, he understood that the small unit of the New Fourth Army was also under attack! He immediately rushed to the east.
Xiao Ancheng followed him and rushed eastward.
But he had just run a few steps when he suddenly lost his footing and fell into a deep hole.
He let out a scream, and the hole almost broke his leg!
Lin Jiatai heard the sound and ran back and dragged him up hard!
They all looked down at the hole. They were all surprised. It was the entrance of a sewer. It turned out that the iron grate covering the wellhead was rusted and was broken by Xiao Ancheng's foot!
Lin Jiatai shouted: "You stepped into the sewer!"
Xiao Ancheng also shouted this: "I stepped into the sewer!"
The words they shouted almost at the same time were so straightforward, but they contained special and profound meanings!
They raised their heads at the same time and looked into the arsenal. There is no doubt that this sewer is the sewer that passes under the arsenal! The outlet of this sewer is by the small river to the north of the arsenal!
At this time, they looked eastward at the same time! The tank train was still parked at the station! Occasionally, white steam spurted out from under the front of the train, but the hissing was no longer heard! The gunfire nearby was deafening!
They stared at each other, their eyes deep and startled. They both understood each other's eyes.
Lin Jiatai jumped up suddenly, while Xiao Ancheng gritted his teeth and stood up.
Lin Jiatai waved to him and shouted: "You stand here and don't move! I'll go!"
He turned around and ran towards the locomotive.
At this time, the train driver was standing at the front door, listening in shock to the fierce gunshots in the distance!
Lin Jiatai pulled out his gun, pointed it at him and shouted: "Hey! Master! Move the train backwards! Do you hear me? Move backwards!"
The train driver saw the muzzle of the gun in front of him clearly, and his eyes and mouth opened as wide as possible!
Lin Jiatai climbed up the escalator, and the gun was directly pressed against his head!
Xiao Ancheng stood there, anxiously listening to the fierce gunshots nearby, and looking even more anxiously at the oil tanker not far away.
The situation in front of us is too clear! Chen Zifeng and his men are completely blocked by Japanese troops on three sides! Although there is a small group of New Fourth Army blocking the attack, it will definitely not last long! As time goes by, none of them may be able to escape!
He looked at the train to the east with great anxiety!
Finally, the tanker truck shook violently and began to move backwards. The distance was only a hundred meters! But from Xiao Ancheng's point of view, the train took a long time!
He shouted to the front like crazy: "Stop! Stop! This is it! This is it!"
The train finally stopped. He jumped on one foot, rushed to the rear of the car, and pulled off the oil pipe. The leather pipe was not long enough. But he didn't care about that anymore! He reached out and twisted the valve.
A strong smell of gasoline suddenly filled the air. Gasoline flowed out of the hose, flowed to the ground, and finally flowed down the sewer well.
Lin Jiatai also ran over and watched the torrent of gasoline flowing into the sewer!
They looked up to the east of the arsenal, where there was fierce gunfire! They hoped that Chen Zifeng and the others would hold on a little longer!
They also looked at each other with anxious eyes. There was only one meaning in their eyes: Is this gasoline enough? Is it enough?
Lin Jiatai couldn't wait any longer. He took out a match and waved Xiao Ancheng to retreat. He lit a match and threw it over.
At first there seemed to be no movement at all. But suddenly, there was a sudden "thump" sound at the mouth of the well and a fire broke out!
The fire was fierce and the scorching flames forced them to retreat.
Immediately afterwards, the flame spread along the leather pipe to the oil tanker. The entire oil tanker burned!
However, there was no movement at all in the sewers! There was even less movement in the arsenal!
The gunshots in the distance are still ringing fiercely! I don’t know how Chen Zifeng and the others, as well as the small New Fourth Army unit, are doing now!
Lin Jiatai put up Xiao Ancheng's arm and shouted to him: "Run! Run! The oil tanker is about to explode!"
They had just run more than a hundred meters when they heard a loud "boom" and the oil tanker was blown to pieces! Oil was sprayed into the air, and flames were also sprayed into the air! The entire station was engulfed in a sea of flames!
Right here, the earth shook violently, as if there was a muffled thunder coming from the underground!
