Chapter 406 The Huangpu River under the Night (Please subscribe for tickets)

  The sun is setting and the sky is getting dark.

  Jiang Mule looked at the sky, took out a pocket watch from his pocket, and checked the time.

   "Master Li, is it all right?" Jiang Mule asked.

   Checked the condition of the barge again, Master Li nodded, "No problem."

  The other three barges also sent a boat signal: everything is normal.

   "Action." Jiang Mule said in a deep voice.

   Following his order, the pier on the Nanshi side immediately started to move.

  Jiang Mule personally led his brother Jiang Laosi and more than a dozen of his subordinates, forty soldiers from the National Army of the Nanshi garrison, and hundreds of coolies at the dock, and started to act on four barges borrowed from China Merchants.

  The reason why they chose to start the operation at this time was because there were Japanese warships patrolling the Huangpu River. At night, they would illuminate the surroundings with searchlights. Once they found any abnormalities, they would open fire.

  Choose the time node when the night is getting dark, the sight of people will be affected, and the vision will be affected, but they can barely see.

  The soldiers of the national army with long guns and the coolies were hiding in the cabin.

  Each barge is assigned two to three Belarus, and Belarus will walk around the small deck from time to time.

  The flag of the British Empire was hoisted on the barge.

   Observed from a distance, this is a genuine British barge.

  …

   "A barge was found on the river." A soldier on a Japanese ship quickly noticed the barge on the river and immediately reported it to the officer.

  A major navy officer immediately came to the deck, picked up the binoculars and looked over.

  It's getting late and I can't see clearly.

   "Aim the muzzle and test their reaction."

"yes!"

  If these barges see the muzzle aiming and try to escape immediately, then it must be a Chinese ship, just fire.

  Although the night is coming up, the Union Jack on the barge can still be seen clearly.

The Admiral of the Navy was a little hesitant. The Empire 'mistakenly bombed' a department store in the International Settlement today. It is said that many people were killed, which aroused protests from the British and Americans. Wait for the ships of Western powers to fire to avoid further angering the British and Americans.

  The major hesitated, but there was a strong desire in his heart, driving him to fire at the barge.

  Experience told him that this is most likely just a Chinese barge flying the British Union Jack flag.

   "Alyosha, come out quickly." Master Li of the China Merchants Bureau changed his face and shouted hastily. They have often played hide-and-seek with Japanese warships recently, and they are already familiar with the behavior of Japanese warships.

  Seeing the Japanese ship's muzzle turned around, I knew that the other party had become suspicious.

   Alyosha brought his younger sister out of the cabin, and the two had already changed into decent clothes.

  Come to the deck, the two brothers and sisters yelled at the Japanese warship in the distance.

   "Be angry, not afraid. It's anger in panic." An agent of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Unit lay on the ground and reminded in a low voice.

  "British?" The Major of the Japanese Navy saw the movement on the barge deck and ordered the soldiers to turn on the searchlights. Then he saw a pair of young men and women jumping in fear and still barely maintaining the pride and anger of the so-called British Empire people.

   Searchlights were fired at the three barges that followed, and sure enough, they saw the British protesting angrily.

   "Sign out the semaphore, the Imperial Japanese Navy is on routine patrol, don't panic, I wish them a smooth sailing." Major Commander said.

"yes!"

   "They are saying that this is the Japanese navy on patrol. They have no intention of attacking. Passage is allowed. I wish the voyage a smooth ride." Master Li spoke in a low voice beside Jiang Mule, translating the semaphore displayed by the other party.

  Jiang Mule heard the words, immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his body, flipped through them, quickly found a page, and said, "Reply to them."

   "How to say?" Master Li asked.

   "Just say thank you, long live the Anglo-Japanese alliance."

"good."

   Seeing the semaphores played by the four British barges one after another, the Major of the Japanese Navy sneered, "Let them go."

  British-Japanese alliance?

   Sooner or later, the navy of the Empire of Japan will defeat the British fleet and land on the main island of England!

  The four barges continued to sail, and everyone, including Jiang Mule, breathed a sigh of relief after finally breaking away from the Japanese warship.

  There was a Belarusian ‘actor’ on a barge who even **** in fright. Only after they got on the boat did they realize that sixty French currency a night really wasn’t that easy to earn.

  …

  Almost at the same time, the operatives led by Qiao Chuntao also launched operations.

  About dozens of steps away from the 903 warehouse of Baffin Matheson, Qiao Chuntao put down the binoculars, her eyes were cold.

"Fell asleep?"

The guards of the foreign company are all Chinese. The French do not trust the Chinese and do not allow the guards to enter the warehouse to rest. Therefore, the guards built a simple shack at the door of the warehouse. At this time, there was no movement of people in the shack. There was a snoring sound.

   "Follow me!" Qiao Chuntao said in a low voice, and personally led his subordinates to stealthily copy from all sides to the shack.

   Without any suspense, the six warehouse guards were almost helpless and were all tied up.

   "Who are you? This is Lord French's warehouse!" A guard struggled and shouted in a low voice.

  Qiao Chuntao sneered. This person waited until all the guards, including himself, were blindfolded before speaking out, and deliberately lowered his voice, obviously afraid of causing misunderstanding by shouting, and would die in vain.

   This is a plan to show off, to sell well to Mr. French, he is a smart man.

  However, it's just cleverness.

  Qiao Chuntao winked directly, and immediately someone came up, and knocked the person unconscious with one hand.

  These are just ordinary guards and have no interrogation value.

  Besides, this person is quite clever. This kind of person should pay special attention to avoid details in this kind of person.

  Qiao Chuntao glanced at him, selected a guard in his thirties, took him aside, and interrogated him.

  The reason why this person was chosen was because there was a sesame seed cake hidden in the guard's arms. Qiao Chuntao judged that this person saved food and left it for his children.

   There is really no valuable information.

However, just as Qiao Chuntao judged, this man has a pair of children in his family. His wife died of a long illness without medical treatment. .

  Qiao Chuntao glanced at this person, and the blindfolded guard seemed to feel his gaze, and was very frightened and disturbed.

  In Qiao Chuntao's cold eyes, a touch of tenderness almost flashed by, and then without hesitation, he directly knocked this person out with a knife.

  Several agents searched the six guards, but they did not find the key.

  This was expected.

  Looking at the thick iron lock, Qiao Chuntao ordered his subordinates to use a powerful winch to try to break it. However, the thick iron lock is obviously not something that the winch can break.

   "Come here." Qiao Chuntao pointed to a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat.

   "Hey." The middle-aged man hurried up.

   This is the 'knowledgeable' person that the team leader ordered Jiang Mule to find in advance.

  I saw that this person took several of his apprentices and started to get busy.

  First wrap the carabiner with a damp towel.

   Then start sawing with the hacksaw.

  Qiao Chuntao nodded secretly, and wrapped the iron lock with a wet towel to avoid making a sound.

   Several people took turns to start sawing, and after sawing for about half an hour, they finally sawed the iron lock open.

  With a dull sound, the heavy warehouse door was opened.

  Qiao Chuntao ordered half of the people to hide outside to guard, and led the other half into the warehouse.

  Everyone took a photo with their flashlights, and they couldn't help swallowing when they saw the goods full of goods.

  …

   On the other side, the action at the Shanghai station has also started.

  Sheng Shuyu and Zheng Lijun, captain of the Shanghai Station Action Brigade, commanded the staff and killed the guards of Sanyou Commercial Bank, but they were stunned by the heavy iron chains.

   There is an extra lock.

  It was originally an iron lock, but at some point the Japanese welded another keyhole and added a lock.

   Only two people can use a hacksaw and start sawing.

   The problem is, they didn't realize that there were two locks, and they didn't bring enough wet towels.

  Sheng Shuyu's face was ashen, and Zheng Lijun's face was also embarrassed.

  The entire Shanghai station went all out and prepared well for this operation, and the final ‘mistake’ turned out to be:

   Save a few towels!

   "Take off your clothes!" Lu Xingge said in a deep voice with a cold face, and he took off his coat first.

   "Hurry up, take off your clothes!"

  Several agents also quickly took off their coats, wet them with water, and used them as wet towels for the time being.

  It was about two miles away from the 403 warehouse of Sanyou Commercial Bank. Cheng Qianfan set up his binoculars with both hands, vaguely saw this scene, and cursed 'idiot' in his heart.

  Although the distance was far enough that the sound of the hacksaw sawing the iron lock could not be heard, Cheng Qianfan knew that wet clothes were less effective at damping noise than towels.

   There must be harsh voices coming out.

   At this moment, there was movement from the pier.

  Guoying Merchants Group **** team leader Yu Dachuan led more than a dozen national army soldiers and hundreds of dock workers on three barges, risking being bombarded by Japanese artillery, and finally arrived.

  Everyone is waiting, waiting for the warehouse door to be opened.

  Suddenly, the scene was a bit chaotic.

   No one noticed that there was a small steamer quietly in the night at the pier.
