488, The medicines in the warehouse are being loaded into the car!
They decided to immediately send a report to the headquarters to report the situation!
By the time they drafted the message and sent it to the headquarters, it was almost dawn.
28-39
This day is January 11, 1938, eight o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Gao Zongwu, who was staying in Room 903 of the International Hotel, was in a very good mood.
It is really the best thing to have a beauty like Qin Xin accompany you at night! Her gentleness, her intimacy, and her unrestrained temperament gave Gao Zongwu a sense of comfort that he had never enjoyed before! It was really good.
!
He glanced at his watch and called Liu Yingui. The call was connected quickly.
He said: "Master Liu Shan, I am going to leave today. After a while, I will go to the dock to load all the purchased goods on the ship. If everything goes well, I will set sail in the afternoon."
Liu Yingui laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "Okay, great! I hope you have the opportunity to come to Shanghai again in the future, and I will entertain you well. The last word, I wish you a happy voyage."
When Liu Yingui said this, he made a gesture to Cui Huai who was standing at the door of the living room.
Cui Huai understood, turned around and ran out.
Gao Zongwu hung up the phone. He said to Qin Xin who was sitting at the table: "Get dressed, let's go to the dock."
About half an hour later, Gao Zongwu and Yuan Qinxin took a taxi to Shiliupu Pier.
28-40
To Gao Zongwu's surprise, Naoki Takaji was standing next to the Hongyuan, waiting for him.
Yingji walked towards him with a smile and said gently: "Mr. Gao, are you ready to leave now?"
Gao Zongwu nodded, "If it goes well. If you agree."
He looked at Takashi with an implicit look. Don't you also have goods? Let me see what you are going to do!
Yingji understood what he meant and said: "We also hope to finish loading our goods as soon as possible. However, there is a lot of goods, so it may take a while. What I know is that the convoy to transport goods on Wangyun Road has already set off. However,
There are still some goods in warehouse No. 3 over there. In short, we will work as soon as possible, and we hope you can set sail as soon as possible."
Gao Zongwu pointed not far away and said, "The goods I purchased are there. Do you want Mr. Tingji to check them?"
Yingji smiled and said: "Look, I almost forgot that you have also purchased a lot of goods these days. Let me go and take a look."
He smiled and accompanied Gao Zongwu to his pile of goods. It was also a large pile of goods.
Gao Zongwu called the steward at the dock and said that the goods would be loaded onto the ship.
The steward called the stevedores, lifted the tarpaulins from the cargo, and untied the ropes.
Gao Zongwu pointed to the pile of goods and said: "That's it. I guess you want to check it."
Yingji said: "Mr. Gao's goods should be fine. How about I randomly check two boxes of goods?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed at two boxes casually.
Two soldiers came over and quickly opened the box.
Yingji looked at the boxes and was a little surprised himself. One of the boxes contained pieces of silk and satin cloth. This was easier to understand. The ladies in Wuhan needed this kind of goods the most. What surprised him was the other box, which was full of silk and satin cloth.
Box of matches! He guessed that these should be supplies in short supply in Wuhan!
He smiled happily and waved his hand to Gao Zongwu, "Forget it, forget it, I won't check. That's it. Mr. Gao can load the ship now."
The dock steward waved his hand, and the stevedores picked up the boxes and walked toward the Hongyuan.
On the ship, an assistant of Gao Zongwu supervised the stevedores to put the boxes in order.
28-41
As soon as Gao Zongwu's goods started to be loaded onto the ship, Cui Huai, who was hiding next to him, became extremely anxious!
According to Boss Liu's idea, the Japanese may inspect Mr. Gao's goods before they are loaded onto the ship.
But the loading may not be so strict. Therefore, they are planning to take advantage of the busy loading period to load Boss Liu's goods on the ship together! No one will be too busy to count how many boxes are on the ship!
But now, the dock is full of Japanese soldiers, and the focus is to stay near the Hongyuan! Mr. Gao’s cargo has been loaded on the ship under the supervision of the Japanese soldiers! In this way, Boss Liu’s cargo will not be touched at all.
No!
Cui Huai hurriedly ran outside the pier and called Boss Liu to explain the situation here.
He said eagerly: "Sir, the Japanese soldiers are watching! If you don't think of a way, our goods won't be able to get in!"
Liu Yingui suddenly became anxious! He paid a huge price! But the goods could not be loaded on the ship! This would delay his important event!
He walked around the living room a few times, thinking about it, and the only way to solve this problem was to find Boss Du!
He immediately called Boss Du and shouted into the phone: "Boss Du, do you know that my goods can't get on the ship! You promised me this! Why did the Japanese surround the dock? Did they get it?
What news!"
Mr. Du understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. Boss Liu had misunderstood the Japanese's intentions.
He said succinctly: "Boss Liu, please come here immediately and we will discuss it in person! I promise that I will help you get the goods on the ship! Please come as soon as possible!"
Liu Yingui carefully studied Boss Du's answer and found that he didn't seem to be up to anything behind it. He immediately called a car and went to Du's mansion.

This day is crucial! All parties are carefully observing the surrounding situation and responding in time.
In the morning, Peng Shaoyong had been sitting in the ship management office on the barge at Shiliupu Pier.
Mr. Mo sat next to him and looked at him calmly. Occasionally, he also glanced at Xiao Ancheng on the other side. This man's face had obviously been beaten severely and his face was severely swollen.
At first, one of Peng Shaoyong's men quietly came in and said in his ear: "The observation point reported that a dozen trucks have arrived at the Wangyun Road Clinic. The big iron gate has been opened, and the medicines in the warehouse are being loaded onto the trucks!"
Peng Shaoyong nodded, "Tell them to continue to observe and report any situation at any time."
About an hour later, a young man hurried in and said in Mr. Mo's ear: "A dozen trucks have driven next to the Hongyuan, and they are now loading their cargo onto the ship!"
Mr. Mo nodded and said nothing. He believed that Chief Peng had heard the situation.
Soon, another young man came in quietly and said to them: "Japanese soldiers escorted a team of stevedores to warehouse No. 3 and were moving the goods out of the warehouse and transporting them to the ship."
These situations were all within Peng Shaoyong’s expectations.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Mo, you must have noticed that we just want to get the Hongyuan's medicines!"
Mr. Mo stared at him, "Sir, what do you do?"
"Hijack the ship! Tonight, my brothers will board the ship quietly! As soon as it enters the Yangtze River, we will take action!"
"Sir, I can't help with this matter." Mr. Mo said with a smile.
"Mr. Mo, you will definitely be able to help! This brother of mine would like to know if people on the shore will inquire when the Hongyuan is sailing along? How can we deal with it?"
Mr. Mo glanced at Xiao Ancheng again, nodded and said, "I can give you some explanations, but you can only make a temporary decision on what to do."
He held out a finger and said, "First of all, you have to understand what the voyage is about. The Hongyuan sails from Shanghai Port to Wuhan Port, which is one voyage. I believe that the Hongyuan's voyage passed through the Japanese
Approved!"
Peng Shaoyong nodded vigorously, "That's for sure!"
"I also believe that this voyage also includes unloading on the way! It should be at Xiaguan Port in Nanjing!"
"Old sir, this is for sure!"
"The air traffic control station on the way will use the radio to ask the Hongyuan!"
"Yes! How should we answer!"
"Sir, my suggestion is to answer truthfully before arriving at Shimonoseki Port. But you will definitely not dock at Shimonoseki Port!"
"Of course not! We have to send the medicines back to Wuhan!"
"Then, after passing Xiaguan Port, you have to be more flexible, or change the unloading location, or ask them to check with the Japanese in Shanghai! However, even if you can deceive them for a while, you can't deceive them for a long time! From Shanghai
It’s a long way to Wuhan!”
At this time, Xiao Ancheng interjected: "As long as we pass Wuhu, we should be safe!"
"It's nearly 900 kilometers from Shanghai to Wuhu! I estimate that it will take two days and two nights! Sir, it depends on whether you are lucky or not! If their contact is not smooth, they may give you some time. But that is only temporary.
of!"
Peng Shaoyong said: "We can send warships to Wuhu to respond!"
Mr. Mo said: "The Hongyuan must be able to reach Wuhu before you can take it! That's right!"
Peng Shaoyong and Xiao Ancheng looked at each other and felt that this last level was quite difficult to pass!
29-2
Peng Shaoyong finally couldn't sit still. He said goodbye to Mr. Mo, took Xiao Ancheng and two brothers, quietly went to the dock, stood in the corner, and observed the loading and unloading situation in Warehouse No. 3.
The loaders, like an endless stream of ants, carried the boxes one after another until they walked to the side of the Hongyuan ship, then stepped onto the long gangplank and walked into the cabin.
He could tell that the quantity of these drugs was very large, estimated to be hundreds of tons!
He looked back at Xiao Ancheng, "Have you seen these situations clearly?"
Xiao Ancheng nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I see clearly."
Peng Shaoyong stared at him with cold eyes, "Tell Chen Zifeng that you must not give up halfway!"
Xiao Ancheng said seriously: "We must transport these medicines back to Wuhan no matter what! This is the most needed material for the Anti-Japanese War!"
Peng Shaoyong didn't speak anymore, still watching the loaders and unloaders carrying the medicines. What he was sure of was that the entire loading process might last until three or four o'clock in the afternoon!
He knows that this time is crucial!
This time point is when Gao Zongwu left the pier and returned to the International Hotel for lunch!
29-3
In fact, the goods that Gao Zongwu purchased these days seemed to be a lot, but in fact there were only about twenty boxes. The stevedores loaded them all on the ship in just a few minutes.
His assistant told him that the boxes were well stacked and were stacked separately from other goods.
