Chapter 92

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

In the afternoon, Yongfa's clerk came to deliver the goods on time, and then went to the toilet. After paying the bill with the restaurant, he drove the carriage and left. Zuo Zhong didn't choose to move him, but waited until the evening before letting the spies look again. Look dead mailbox.

The secret agent came back after a long absence, and when he came in, he said excitedly, "Section Chief, the chalk-drawn vertical line on the beam is gone. This should be the security measure they discussed."

Zuo nodded to let the spy go down, and said to Gu Qi: "Send a few more people to take turns to monitor near the target. As long as someone has gone to the toilet once, they will check the dead mailbox for me."

Gucci saluted: "Yes."

In the days that followed, Yongfa’s staff delivered goods every once in a while, and at the same time, the intelligence department gradually discovered the offline people who connected with them. These people had different occupations, but they were basically distributed in the freight and commercial industries. .

These occupations all have a common feature, they can deal with more people, and can obtain economic and transportation intelligence, which 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 boss of the water gang in Shuiximen, and she seemed to have an unclear relationship with the boss of the gang. This situation aroused Zuo Zhong's concern.

The Cao Gang also has a more well-known name—Qing Gang. In the early days of its establishment, the Cao Gang often gathered people to fight in order to monopolize the transportation industry on the canal.

Later, the Qing Dynasty stopped water transport and changed it to sea transport. The Cao Gang was forced to go ashore, and was not properly resettled. They could only develop 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 support of the Cao Gang for the revolution, the government of the Republic of China adopted a tolerant attitude towards it. Even Dai Chunfeng would call a certain boss of the Cao Gang the third brother, and even the bald head once worshiped another big boss.

If the Japanese colluded with the Cao Gang, Jinling's water transportation line would be cut off at any time. During the war, the Cao Gang could still help the Japanese army transport food, grass and ammunition. The more Zuo Zhong thought about it, the more serious he felt.

He immediately reported the matter to Dai Chunfeng, Dai Chunfeng thought about it, he asked Zuo Zhong not to take care of the affairs of the Cao Gang, he will communicate with the big boss of the Shanghai Cao Gang, and when the secret service is done, he will hand over to the Cao Gang Solve it yourself.

In his original words: "Back when I was wandering in Shanghai, my third brother took in and helped me, and even obtained a recommendation letter for me, so that I could enter Whampoa to follow the leader. This should all be done to the third brother."

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

Lu Qidao is very cunning. There is only one guy who delivers goods every time, and the other four people are on standby in the store. The distribution of personnel during business hours is also as close as possible. It is unrealistic to ensnare and defeat one by one, and can only attack by force .

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 elite military personnel, especially spies who had participated in the Peking operation.

Considering the particularity of Yongfa's internal environment, the operation team is mainly equipped with Thompson submachine guns, and self-made pistols as secondary weapons. They are also equipped with grenades, flash bombs and dangerous goods to prevent the opponent from relying on buildings to resist stubbornly.

In order to be safe, Zuo Zhong also found a warehouse and used wooden boards to build a simulation house inside Yongfa. He ordered Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang to resolve the battle in 3 minutes, and not give the other party a chance to destroy or damage equipment and intelligence.

In the end, a team of 15 people was formed, and Zuo Zhong was added to make 16 people. Gu Qi was very opposed to Zuo Zhong’s decision. A gentleman can’t stand under a wall, but Zuo Zhong’s determination was made. He didn’t want to sit in the office and wait for his subordinates. Desperately.

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 minimize the damage. The intelligence department needs living spies instead of 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 stand by. Zuo Zhong decided to act when the other party closed, because this is the time for every store to take inventory.

Although Wing Fat does not rely on operating income to make a living, Lu Qidao is very dedicated to his performances, and his work and rest hours are the same as other shops. At this time, he and his staff will be in the lobby of the shop.

At the same time, that time coincided with the end of work at the wharf, and many porters passed by the area, making it easy to covertly approach the target due to the noise.

The key to this kind of action lies in suddenness and speed, so the action teams all put on the clothes of the porters. The small weapons and equipment are stored close to the body, and the rest are placed in large baskets, which the porters usually use to store labor tools.

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

"Yes."

The team members have already put on porters' costumes at this time and are making final preparations.

Gu Qi and Song Minghao wanted to persuade Zuo Zhong again. If something happened to Zuo Zhong, Dai Chunfeng would be able to skin them. If it wasn't for their poor mobility, the two of them would be ready to act together.

Ignoring their hesitant eyes, Zuo Zhong ordered in a low voice, "Let's go."

The action team bypassed Yongfa in twos and threes and gathered near the pier. Some porters were a little curious when they saw so many strangers, but when they saw Wu Chunyang in the crowd, they let go of their doubts and regarded them as a group of newbies.

The action team was led by Wu Chunyang, Zuo Zhong was in the middle, and Gui Youguang was delayed. It was not because Zuo Zhong was timid, but because he had to take command from the center. The action team slowly approached Yongfa among the crowd.

At this time, a man who looked like a foreman suddenly jumped over. Gui Youguang put his hand in his arms, but was held down by Zuo Zhong. Zuo Zhong shook his head at him, the other party was not looking for trouble.

The foreman looked at the spies and patted Wu Chunyang on the shoulder: "Xiao Wu, where have you been these few days, these brothers are all newcomers?"

Wu Chunyang nodded honestly: "They are all from my hometown. I went back to my hometown a few days ago. I don't want to take them out for a meal. If you have a big job in the future, you can find us."

The foreman looked at the strong spies and nodded: "No problem, but you have too many people. Let the Cao Gang know that you must be in trouble. You should go to the Cao Gang as soon as possible."

At this time, the action team had already reached the gate of Yongfa. There was no one there, but the door panel was placed outside the house. It seemed that the door was about to be closed. Lu Qidao and others should be inside the house.

Opportunity is rare, Zuo Zhong shouted in a low voice: "Action!"

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

Wu Chunyang in the front held a flash bomb in each of his left and right hands. When he was one step away from the gate, he lowered his head and bit the safety bolt, pulled hard with both hands, and threw the flash bomb into the lobby of Yongfa without any hesitation. The whole person was stuck against the wall, he didn't have time to see if there was anyone inside, and the screams later would remind him.

Sure enough, the flash bomb with a short fuze exploded quickly. After a loud noise, there were four screams. There were at least four people in the room. Wu Chunyang rushed in before the loud noise completely dissipated. action team.

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

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

Putting the bipod on the counter, Lu Qidao's face twisted. From the first day he came to Jinling, he was preparing. As long as the first wave of Chinese attacks was repelled, they would have time to destroy the radio station and intelligence.

Wu Chunyang and his team members threw themselves on the four blind spies. These four people may be very powerful in fighting, but the members of the action team are not ordinary people. They are all experts in the secret service and the army, and they are firmly under control. .

Zuo Zhong led the second wave of team members to rush into the store, but before he could communicate with Wu Chunyang, he found a black gun barrel and iconic magazine on the counter, which was Czech style!
This light machine gun from the Czech Republic is considered the best light machine gun of this era. It has strong firepower, great power, and is also very light. At the beginning, he thought it was very suitable to set up a machine gun position here, and it seemed that the Japanese thought so too.

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

Lu Qidao knew that it was too late to stop him, he resisted the urge to turn around and pulled the bolt to the bottom, put his finger on the trigger, just a second before he was about to shoot, Zuo Zhong finally leaped onto the counter, he pulled He grabbed the Czech-style gun barrel, and then rushed into the counter along with the inertia, the gun barrel was raised high to the sky.

"Da da da da da." The Czech-style 20 bullets flew the roof tiles everywhere.

Gui Youguang was about to enter the Yongfa store when he heard the sound of machine guns inside the house. Instead of retreating, he dived into it with a diving leap. At this level of action, personal life and death are no longer important.

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. Inside the counter.

At the counter, Zuo Zhong's left hand was already blistered by the barrel of the gun, but he still gritted his teeth and held on to the gun barrel. Lu Qidao's right hand also tightly squeezed the trigger. The two of them were punching you and punching me. Punch hard at the opponent's head.
