Chapter 3860 Thunder God Mouth

After receiving Hua Zhang's telegram, the organization began to study this matter. After all, it was still very difficult for the organization as a whole. Chiang Kai-shek had obtained all the gold in the country. If there were no conditions to take such financial resources, it would be fine. But now the telegram sent by Hua Zhang has been carefully studied and the feasibility is very high. If we don't take it, it would be a shame to this excellent plan. Therefore, after a detailed study, the organization directly sent a reconnaissance team to investigate the situation in advance after it was found to be feasible.

Among them, Lei Biao was a very outstanding investigator who came from the armed work team. He dressed up as a peddler, carrying a pole on his shoulders, which was filled with needles, thread, pipes, small candies, rattles, dry tobacco and other things. Before joining the organization, Lei Biao was an orphan, and he survived because he was taken in by a kind-hearted person. The person who took him in was a peddler.

So Lei Biao played the role of a peddler, which was no different from the real thing. Peddler usually spent more time walking around the streets, but he also went to some fields to exchange goods for food or something, or went to the countryside and farmers to exchange some things. And sometimes, the things he exchanged in the countryside and farmers were quite affordable, and sometimes he could even earn a little more than in the city. This was because transportation was inconvenient in those days, and people in the countryside and farmers could only exchange some items for their families when they went to the market. Therefore, when the peddler went to these places, the things he brought were actually quite easy to sell.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that the peddler's figure, appearing anywhere, is reasonable. He passed through Yangzhong, followed Du's family, passed Wu's family, and came to Ning Village. It was already very tiring to walk here, after all, it was just walking. It happened that he had established his identity as a peddler in Ning Village and started to exchange things. Don't say it, small business is really good. When the business was almost done, Lei Biao also rested well and began to walk east along the Yangtze River.

There are farmlands and small woods along the river, but the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are called the two water dragons of China not only because they are long, but also because they are quite wide. You know, for ambush, the wider the water surface, the less conducive it is to ambush.

The boat is in the water, and the distance between the two coasts is several kilometers. How can you ambush it? Use artillery fire. You must be able to pull it out in this situation. Moreover, if you use artillery fire, if you really sink the boat, you will not be able to get the gold. There is no way to salvage it. Therefore, you must find a narrower water area.

Ning Village is more than two kilometers away from the other side of the water. If the ambush ship passes through the middle, then theoretically the coast on both sides will be one kilometer away. Unless it is a heavy machine gun, otherwise, what gun can shoot so far. Of course, according to the parabola method, if you raise the muzzle and shoot, the bullet will definitely reach it. But even a special shooter is not sure.

The further Lei Biao walked eastward, the wider the waterway seemed to be. He found a time when no one was around and estimated with his thumb that the waterway was even wider, more than three kilometers. This meant that the ambush was more difficult.

However, Lei Biao was not discouraged and continued to move forward. He walked about two kilometers east from Ning Village, and less than three kilometers later, Lei Biao came out from a small path in a grove of trees. When he came to the shore again, he felt his eyes brighten.

It turned out that although the waterway here was wider, there was an "isolated island" in the middle. From the south bank where he was, the distance to the isolated island was about 400 to 500 meters. He looked carefully and found that if he went straight along the waterway, because of the existence of the isolated island, the waterway in this place was basically this width and quite long.

Lei Biao thought to himself, "This seems to be a good place." But he didn't dare to be careless and continued to move forward. He walked for nearly four kilometers. Although the island still existed, the waters had become wider again. But soon, he found that there was another island between the island and the shore where he was. And the Yangtze River turned again.

The waterway between the new island and the shore where he was was narrower, only about 200 to 300 meters wide. However, the waterway between the new island and the old island seemed wider, almost one kilometer. Lei Biao made a note of this situation in his mind. Then he walked forward again, and when he met the boatman, he crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at the other end.

When crossing the river, because he was acting as a peddler, he was good at talking and selling his goods, and he also gave the boatman a discount. This opened up the boatman's chatterbox, and he simply boasted about his boat driving skills and his familiarity with the place. Lei Biao began to lead the topic imperceptibly and inquired about the situation nearby. It turned out that the large isolated island was called Leigongzui. In fact, the large and small isolated islands together looked like Leigong with his mouth open. It was a collective name.

In this way, after Lei Biao crossed the river, he still behaved like a peddler, but actually began to investigate on the north bank. In the end, he was basically sure that what the boatman told him was exactly what he had seen during the investigation.

Simply put, the Yangtze River turns south from west to east. Before the turn, there is a large island and then a small island. The large island is quite wide from the north bank, and at its narrowest point it is nearly one kilometer wide, while the width from the south bank is nearly five hundred meters, half the distance. Then at the tail of the large island, the width from the south bank is very large, but there is a small island in the middle, and the distance from the small island to the south bank is only more than two hundred meters, about two hundred and fifty meters.

But the distance between the small island and the big island is more than one kilometer, estimated to be 1.2 kilometers or even more. The small island is also long and narrow, so its tail extends beyond the big island. In addition, the Yangtze River turns here, so the tail of the small island is wider from the north bank, nearly 1.4 kilometers.

This is the basic situation here. When ships come here, they basically don't take the long way, that is, the waterway on the north side of the big island, but go to the south side. After all, the south side is nearly 500 meters wide, so it's too easy for a ship to pass. But after the ship passes here, it should not go to the north side when facing the small island, but to the south side, because the waterway here is also nearly 300 meters wide. After all, according to normal logic, no one wants to go the long way instead of the short way.
