Cicada Moving

Chapter 92 A critical moment

Zuo Zhong and Gu Qi returned to the observation point and sent a spy to check the situation. The other party reported that the dead mailbox was indeed marked with chalk, thus confirming that the woman was Lu Qidao's downline.

In the afternoon, Yongfa's man came to deliver the goods on time, then went to the toilet, settled the bill with the hotel, and left in the carriage. Zuo Zhong did not choose to touch him, but waited until the evening before letting the agents see him again. Check your mailbox.

The agent returned after being away for a long time. As soon as he came in, he said excitedly: "Section Chief, the vertical chalk line on the beam is gone. This should be the safety measure they discussed."

Leo Dian nodded and let the agent go down, and said to Gu Qi: "Send a few more people to take turns monitoring the target. As long as someone goes to the toilet once, check the mailbox for me."

Gucci saluted: "Yes."

In the following days, several of Yongfa's guys went to deliver goods every once in a while. At the same time, the Intelligence Department also gradually discovered the offline people they contacted. These people had different occupations, but they were basically distributed in the freight and commercial industries. .

These professions all have a common feature: they can deal with more people and obtain information on economy, transportation and other aspects. This information can infer Jinling's potential war strength.

As for the female teacher, it was more like a separate line. Among her students was the son of the Shuiximen Cao Gang boss. She seemed to have an unclear relationship with the Cao Gang boss. This situation aroused Zuo Zhong's concern.

The Cao Gang is also better known as the Qing Gang. In the early days of its establishment, the Cao Gang often gathered to fight in order to monopolize the transportation industry on the canal. Later, they often fought on the canal and asked for money to pay for passage. It was a standard and energetic group.

Later, the former Qing Dynasty stopped water transportation and replaced it with sea transportation. The Caobang gangs were forced ashore and were not properly resettled. They could only develop their own lives along the canal. With their strict organization and loyalty, they became the most powerful in the area along the canal. group.

After arriving in the Republic of China, in order to repay the Caobang's support for the revolution, the Republic of China government adopted a tolerant attitude towards him. Even Dai Chunfeng would call a certain Caobang boss "third brother", and even a bald man once worshiped another boss.

If the Japanese colluded with the Caobang, Jinling's water transportation lines would be cut off at any time. During the war, the Caobang could also help the Japanese army transport grain, grass and ammunition. The more Zuo Chong thought about it, the more serious it became.

He immediately reported the matter to Dai Chunfeng. Dai Chunfeng thought about it and asked Zuo Zhong not to interfere with the Cao Gang's affairs. He would communicate with the Cao Gang boss in Shanghai and hand over the person to the Cao Gang after the Secret Service finished the work. Solve it yourself.

In his original words: "When I was homeless in Shanghai, my third brother took me in and helped me, and he even got me a letter of recommendation so that I could enter Huangpu and follow the leader. I should give my third brother face in this matter."

Zuo Zhong didn't care about the Cao Gang boss, as long as he could cut off the Japanese claws that penetrated the Cao Gang. After this period of reconnaissance, he felt that the time was ripe to arrest Lu Qidao and his subordinates.

Lu Qidao is very cunning. There is only one person who goes out to deliver goods every time, and the other four are on standby in the store. The distribution of people during business hours is also as close as possible. It is unrealistic to trap and defeat them one by one, so they can only carry out forceful attacks. .

Yongfa was heavily guarded. Zuo Zhong recalled Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang and asked them to select manpower to prepare for the operation. They mainly selected special training classes and military elites, especially spies who had participated in the Peking Operation.

Considering the particularity of Yongfa’s internal environment, the action team was mainly equipped with Thompson submachine guns, with Zild pistols as secondary weapons. They were also equipped with grenades, flash bombs and dangerous goods to prevent the opponent from relying on buildings to resist.

To be sure, Zuo Zhong also found a warehouse and used wooden boards to build a simulation house inside Yongfa. His order to Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang was to resolve the battle in three minutes, without giving the other side a chance to destroy or damage equipment and intelligence.

In the end, a team of fifteen people was formed, and with Zuo Zhong, there were sixteen people. Gu Qi was very opposed to Zuo Zhong's decision. A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, but Zuo Zhong was determined. He didn't want to sit in the office and wait. Work hard.

 The action team began to practice every detail and every action repeatedly, striving to complete the task with the least manpower, material resources, and time, and to minimize the damage. The Intelligence Section needed living spies rather than a few corpses.

After five days of high-intensity training, the action team arrived at the observation point near Yongfa Salty Goods Store to assemble and standby. Zuo Zhong decided to take action when the other party was closed, because this was the time for each store to take inventory.

Although Yongfa does not rely on business income to live, Lu Qidao's performance is very dedicated, and his work and rest hours are the same as those of other stores. At this time, he and his staff will be in the store lobby.

 At the same time, the dock was about to finish work at that time, and many porters passed by this area. The noise of the people made it easier to approach the target in a concealed manner.

The key to this kind of action lies in suddenness and speed, so the action team all wore porter clothes. Small weapons and equipment were stored close to the body, and the rest were placed in large baskets, which porters generally use to place labor tools.

"Order, after the operation begins, the order of command will be me, Wu Chunyang, and Gui Youguang." Zuo Zhong explained, just in case.

"Yes." The team members have already changed into porter clothes and are making final preparations.

 Gu Qi and Song Minghao wanted to persuade Zuo Zhong again. If something happened to Zuo Zhong, Dai Chunfeng could skin them. If their mobility hadn't been so poor, the two of them would have been ready to act together.

Zuo Zhong ignored their hesitant looks and ordered in a low voice: "Let's go."

The action team bypassed Yongfa in twos and threes and met near the dock. Some porters were a little curious to see so many strangers, but when they saw Wu Chunyang in the crowd, they put aside their doubts and just regarded them as a group of novices who had just entered the industry.

 The action team was headed by Wu Chunyang, with Zuo Zhong in the middle and Gui Youguang behind him. It was not that Zuo Zhong was timid, but that he had to take command from the center. The action team blended in with the crowd and slowly approached Yongfa.

At this time, a man who looked like a foreman suddenly jumped over. Gui Youguang put his hand into his arms, but was held down by Zuo Zhong. Zuo Zhong shook his head at him. He was not here to cause trouble.

The foreman looked at the agents and patted Wu Chunyang on the shoulder: "Xiao Wu, where have you been these days? These brothers are all new here?"

Wu Chunyang nodded honestly: "They are all my fellow villagers. I went back to my hometown a few days ago. If I don't take them out to make a living, if there is a big job in the future, they can come to us."

The foreman looked at the sturdy agents and nodded: "No problem, but you have too many people. Let the Caobang know that they will definitely cause trouble for you. It is best to go to the Caobang as soon as possible and tell them."

At this time, the action team had arrived not far from Yongfa Gate. There was no one at the door, but the door panel was placed outside the house. It seemed that it was about to be closed. Lu Qidao and others should be inside the house.

 This opportunity is rare, Zuo Zhong shouted in a low voice: "Act!"

The action team members threw away the poles and hemp ropes in their hands, put their hands into the big basket, and fished out submachine guns one by one. Before passers-by could react, they rushed to the door of Yongfa.

Wu Chunyang at the front held a flash grenade in each hand. When he was still one step away from the door, he lowered his head and bit the safety bolt, pulled hard with both hands, and threw the flash grenade into Yongfa's lobby without a trace of hesitation. With his whole body pressed against the wall, he didn't have time to see if there was anyone inside. The screams would give him a hint later.

Sure enough, the flash bomb with a short fuse exploded quickly, and four screams were heard after a loud bang. There were at least four people in the room. Wu Chunyang rushed in before the loud noise completely dissipated, followed by the same quick ones behind him. Action team member.

Lu Qidao was discussing with his clerk about the purchase of goods in the next few days. Suddenly, he saw two things being thrown in from the corner of his eye. He had never seen a flash bomb, but he guessed that it was not a good thing, so he subconsciously squatted behind the heavy counter.

So he was not blinded instantly like the other guys, but just a little dizzy. He endured the dizziness and fumbled to open the hidden compartment on the counter, and pulled out a Czech light machine gun with 20 rounds of magazines already loaded on it.

Placing the bipod on the counter, Lu Qidao's face twisted. He had been preparing since the first day he arrived in Jinling. As long as the first wave of Chinese attacks were repelled, they would have time to destroy the radio station and intelligence.

Wu Chunyang and his team members pounced on the four blind spies. These four people may have been very powerful in fighting, but the members of the action team were not ordinary people. They were all experts from the Secret Service and the military, and they were firmly under control. .

Zuo Zhong led the second wave of team members into the store, but before he had time to communicate with Wu Chunyang, he found a black barrel and iconic magazine on the counter, Czech style!

This kind of light machine gun from the Czech Republic is considered the best light machine gun of this era. It has strong firepower, high power, and is very light at the same time. At the beginning, he felt that it was very suitable to set up a machine gun position here. It seems that the Japanese thought so too.

Before he had time to remind him, Zuo Zhong jumped towards the counter. At this time, Lu Qidao had already half-pulled the bolt of the gun and was about to load the bullet. Suddenly, he felt that it was getting dark. When he looked up, he saw a familiar person pointing at him. Pounced over.

Lu Qidao knew it was too late to stop him. He resisted the urge to turn around and pulled the gun bolt all the way. His finger was on the trigger. Just a second before he was about to shoot, Zuo Zhong finally leaped onto the counter. He pulled Holding the barrel of the Czech gun, he followed the inertia and jumped into the counter, holding the barrel high into the sky.

“Click, click, click.” Twenty Czech bullets sent the roof tiles flying everywhere.

Just as Gui Youguang was about to enter Yongfa's store, he heard the sound of machine gunfire inside the house. Instead of retreating, he rushed inside with a diving leap. At this point, his personal life and death no longer mattered.

After rolling on the ground, Gui Youguang found that the two groups of people who came in first were unharmed, but they all looked at the counter next to him in horror. He did not get up, but rolled directly close to the counter, and put the Thomson in his hand towards the counter. Check inside the counter.

At the counter, Zuo Zhong's left hand had been blistered by the barrel of the gun, but he still gritted his teeth and held on to the barrel. Lu Qidao's right hand also tightened the trigger. The two of them were punching each other. Punch the opponent **** the head.
