wind in the dark night

Chapter 161
In front of No. 14 Huaihua Lane.

Qi Yue was about to turn off the engine and stop the car.

Zhao Zhenhai got out of a car, and quickly stepped forward: "Vice Captain Qi, you are back!"

Qi Yue asked: "What happened?"

Zhao Zhenhai said: "The chief asked you to go to the department immediately."

Qi Yue glanced at his watch, it was [-]:[-] in the evening, Gao Kejian was so anxious to find him, there must be something important, so he said, "Get in the car."

Zhao Zhenhai opened the door and sat in.

The two cars drove towards the police station.

On the way, Qi Yue asked: "The chief of the high section came to me, didn't he say anything?"

Zhao Zhenhai said: "The section chief only said that the situation was urgent, and told me to find you within half an hour. Oh, I called your home before, but no one answered."

"Oh……"

Qi Yue asked again: "Does Jiangbei have any clues?"

Zhao Zhenhai said: "Yes. Many new ruts were found near the pier. I suspect that the Yamada unloaded a batch of cargo under the pretext of docking for repairs. Of course, it may also be loading and unloading. Whether it is loading or unloading, loading and unloading takes 10 minutes. One or two tons of goods, enough time."

Qi Yue said: "Trut marks? Is it a car?"

Zhao Zhenhai said, "It's a carriage or something."

Qi Yue said, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Zhenhai said: "I'm sure. The nearby grass has been eaten by animals. In addition, the ruts are very narrow, obviously not car tires."

Qi Yue nodded: "Any other clues?"

Zhao Zhenhai said, "I haven't found it yet."

Qi Yue said, "What did the section chief say?"

Zhao Zhenhai said: "The section chief said that as long as it is fast enough, everything will be in time. Vice-captain Qi, I reckon, it should be related to that batch of ammunition!"

Qi Yue said: "It is very likely..."

ten minutes later.

The car drove into the courtyard of the police station.

The head of the secret service department was brightly lit. Gao Kejian was holding a red and blue pencil, staring at the topographic map of Binjiang hanging on the wall, marking a certain point from time to time.

Qi Yue and Zhao Zhenhai came in, Gao Kejian didn't turn around, and continued to scribble on the map: "Xiao Zhao told you about the situation at Jiangbei Wharf, right?"

Qi Yue came closer: "Say it."

Gao Kejian said: "Time is running out. Let's make a long story short. If the Yamada unloaded the ammunition, it would definitely be transported to the anti-bandit lair - Kaoshantun immediately. The mountain road is rough and difficult to walk, and cars are impassable. This is the main reason why they switched to horse-drawn carriages." The reason. However, the horse-drawn carriage also has disadvantages, such as slow speed. From Jiangbei to Mao’er Mountain, no matter which way you take, it will take at least five or six hours.”

Qi Yue said: "You mean, send someone to chase after him?"

Gao Kejian said, "That's right."

Qi Yue frowned: "But, there's not enough time."

Gao Kejian pointed to the map and said: "A number of checkpoints have been added in the direction of Mao'er Mountain. There are still patrols during the day. It will take time to bypass the checkpoints and avoid the patrols. I guess they dare not go during the day." , Hide first, and wait until it gets dark before rushing on.”

Qi Yue said: "I will notify the security team..."

Gao Kejian waved his hand: "The security team is not needed, and the car can't go on the mountain road. If the Communist Party finds out, there are so many wild forests along the way, and it's dark. They can just find a place to hide, and they can't find it. What's more. Said, I was just guessing, and I made a lot of people, if I guess wrong, it would be a joke."

Qi Yue said, "Then what do you mean?"

Gao Kejian said: "This matter, we will do it ourselves. You are responsible for leading the team, pick more good marksmanship, first take a car to the outside of the city, if the car can't go, change a bicycle, and when you find the target, immediately fire a warning shot to ensure yourself Under the premise of safety, hold them back. The Hosokawa Regiment is stationed outside the city, and will definitely send reinforcements when the time comes!"

Zhao Zhenhai on the side couldn't help but said: "Motorcycles can also go on mountain roads..."

Qi Yue said: "Motorcycles are noisy, and before they can catch up, they will be discovered by the Communist Party."

Gao Kejian said approvingly: "That's right. What we need in this operation is to be invisible!"

Soon, the team assembled.

Counting Qi Yue, there are 21 people in total. These people are all excellent marksmanship in each group of the action team. There are two trucks, one carrying people and the other carrying bicycles.

Gao Kejian's idea is very simple. The most important thing is to have a good soldier, not a large number.

In the Secret Service Section, Ma Zhuang's marksmanship is second only to Qi Yue.

This type of action suits him best.

Gao Kejian stood under the car and asked Zhao Zhenhai, "Why didn't you see Ma Zhuang?"

Zhao Zhenhai said: "I sent someone to look for him at his house, but he is not at home, so I don't know where he went."

Gao Kejian was very depressed, and murmured: "This Ma Zhuang, what's going on recently, when it's time to use him, no one can be found!"

Qi Yue said: "Chief, do you have anything else to ask?"

Gao Kejian thought for a while: "Crouching Tiger Valley is Mao'er Mountain, which is the territory of the anti-bandits. Let's not be careless, and deliver them to people as snacks. Catching up to the target is a windfall, and not being able to catch up is also a reward." Normal, as you said, it's been so long after all."

Qi Yue said, "Understood."

Gao Kejian said, "Go."

Qi Yue got into the car and told the driver: "Let's go!"

The truck left the police station and sped out of the city.

Gao Kejian stood in the yard for a long time.

Letting Qi Yue lead the team is actually a test.

Among the people who went there were Gao Kejian's eyes and ears, who kept an eye on Qi Yue's every move, and would report to Gao Kejian in detail after returning.

……

Out of the city, the roads became more and more difficult to walk, from smooth gravel roads to potholes and dirt roads, from parallel lanes to only horse-drawn carts and mule carts.

At a T-junction, I couldn't walk at all.

Qi Yue ordered that the driver stay to guard the vehicle, and the others switched to bicycles to continue forward. Zhao Zhenhai, a local, was responsible for opening the way ahead.

In the dark night, a group of people are riding bicycles, driving silently in the wilderness. Such a scene looks somewhat strange.

after an hour.

The convoy traveled to the vicinity of Crouching Tiger Ditch.

Zhao Zhenhai suddenly raised his hand.

Everyone stop.

Qi Yue rode to the front.

"Vice Captain Qi, look."

Zhao Zhenhai shined the flashlight on the ground.

There was an empty magazine in the middle of the road.

Qi Yue got out of the car and reached out to pick it up.

This is a German-made Mauser c96 magazine with a capacity of ten rounds. This gun has many names in China, such as box gun, box gun, speed machine and so on.

Qi Yue noticed that there was almost no dust on the upward side of the magazine, which meant that it would not be a long time to be thrown here. Combined with the situation provided by Du Juan, he quickly figured out the cause and effect of the whole incident.

Most likely, the magazine came from the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. It is estimated that someone accidentally dropped it on the ground while changing the magazine. It was dark all around, and he didn't look for it carefully.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there are only two possibilities.

One is that the Loyalty and Nation Salvation Army disguised as bandits is ambushing in the mountains on both sides at this moment, and the vehicles transporting ammunition from the Anti-Japanese Federation have not yet arrived.The second is that the two sides have already encountered each other and reached a consensus that the Anti-Union will distribute some ammunition to the "bandits" and then leave separately.

Qi Yue said: "Hide the bicycle and go up the mountain!"

Crouching Tiger Valley is the only way to Maoer Mountain.

There is nothing wrong with staying here.
