Years of the Republic of China 1913

New Year's Day in 1921 passed quietly. When the whole world was celebrating the festival, Serov was still lifeless, as if no one remembered what day January 1 was.

After all, with such a big event happening at Christmas before, and the Serov incident more than a month ago, no one, whether it is the local garrison or ordinary people, has the heart to go to such a festival.

The Russian imperial government army tensed their nerves, not only sent more patrolling personnel, but also strengthened the defense of various places, fearing that there would be another Christmas event at this time.As for those starving people, they can't even eat enough. In addition, due to the recent incidents of continuous attacks on garrisons and camps, the Russian Imperial Government Army has imposed a curfew and rationing on the city. In this case, ordinary people Who would go outside to hang out in the cold winter?If he was arrested as a saboteur, there would be no place to cry for this injustice.

On January 1921, 1, four days had passed since New Year's Day, an important holiday in the West.For nearly a week, both the soldiers and the common people were all worried that something might happen.Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Nothing happened this week. It seemed that the two major events before would not be repeated. As New Year's Day gradually passed, everyone's spirit gradually relaxed.

"Vassily! Is this it?"

"That's right, Comrade Levteet!" The young man named Vasily nodded. On the surface, he was a clerk in charge of distributing supplies from Serov's provisional government, but he was actually an intelligence officer of Serov's underground party led by Levteet. Today , He took Levjet and sneaked into the train station in the name of moving supplies.

Glancing at the freight warehouse not far from the train station, Levjet squatted down, and with the help of Vasily, he carried a sack on his shoulders. When he stood up, he took the opportunity of the other party to help him and asked softly: " Is the information accurate? Are you sure it's tomorrow?"

"One hundred percent sure!" Vasily replied without hesitation: "If everything remains the same, the train will arrive at the station at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and all supplies will enter the warehouse at around nine o'clock. The warehouse has guards and patrols, and there are fixed guards There are eight people in total, and the patrol team is divided into two teams, with 12 people in each team, and the patrol time is 45 minutes. Adding 15 minutes for the changing of the guard, it is an hour... "

Levjet has a good memory and can remember everything after listening to it once.In order to avoid anyone's suspicion, he didn't dare to have too much contact with Vasily. He held the sack with his hands one behind the other, and walked out of the station quickly with his waist half bowed.

Arriving outside the station and unloading the goods at the designated place, Levjet wiped his sweat with a towel while observing the surrounding environment.

that night.It was still the old old building, where Levjet and his underground party members gathered to discuss important matters.

"Look, everyone, here, here, and here!" On a rough topographic map, Levjet tapped a few places on it: "According to reliable information, the supplies transported by the White Bandit Army this time include 500 tons of food and 150 tons of ammunition, plus medicines and cotton coats, etc., a total of nearly 800 tons. Due to the early arrival of the Siberian blizzard, the Siberian railway will be impassable for a long time, so these materials are of great importance to The significance of the White Bandit Army is self-evident."

"I understand!" A young man with freckles said excitedly: "As long as we destroy these supplies, these white bandit troops will be completely deprived of supplies, and they will be unable to do anything for a long time, even You can’t even get enough to eat, is that true, Comrade Levjet?”

"Yes!" Picking up a piece of charcoal with tongs, Levtei lit a cigarette and took a long drag. A smile appeared on his bearded face: "Just destroy them. The White Bandit Army will become a toothless tiger. No food, no drink, and no ammunition, and then the heroic Serov will be their grave!"

"Good! Great! Comrade Levjet, what are you doing? Tell me!"

"Yes! Comrade Levjet!" Almost everyone was ecstatic, with fiery expressions on their faces.

However, some people think that it seems inappropriate to do so. An elderly underground party member put forward a different view: "If all these materials are destroyed, what will the people of Serov do? Is this action aimed at arms and ammunition? As for food, we At once……."

"Impossible!" Levjet vetoed it outright, and was just about to reprimand the other party for his unsteady revolutionary stance, but when he saw someone looking thoughtful, his words changed: "Comrades! Do you think it’s enough to focus on arms and ammunition instead of food? Let’s not talk about whether we have the time to destroy these materials separately. Even if we have the time and possibility, the current situation does not allow us to do so! If you want to destroy the will of the White Bandits and make them panic and unable to survive in Serov, all these supplies must be destroyed. Of course, it is a pity to destroy the food, but think about it, once the food falls on the White Bandits In the hands of the army, they can still use them. At Serov's insistence, when the Siberian Railway opens, all our efforts will be in vain."

After a pause, Levjet said again: "As for the common people, it's not that I haven't thought about it. But only when the white bandits are repulsed and driven away, Serov's masses will return to the embrace of the big revolutionary family. Wait until Our troops have arrived, and now there will be no more problems with the shortage of supplies, I think the masses will understand and support it! Even if there will be sacrifices of one kind or another during the period, the sacrifices are worth it!"

Levjet made a final decision, and his words completely dispelled everyone's concerns, and then they began to discuss the details of the action plan to be foolproof.

The next afternoon, the train transporting supplies from the Far East arrived on time.Since this batch of materials will be the last batch of transported materials during the blizzard, and the quantity is huge, the garrison specially found a large warehouse next to the station to store them with the help of the local interim government.Moreover, in order to ensure safety, the link of material transfer and storage is directly responsible for the transfer and storage of materials by the garrison, instead of being arranged by the provisional government as before.

Busy until ten o'clock at night, all these materials were transported into the warehouse.Almost an hour later than the previous reservation.After leaving the sentries and patrols behind, the brigade retreated back to the barracks one after another. As the lights went out one by one, the station and warehouse fell into silence.

At around 12:30 in the middle of the night, a patrol team gradually approached from a distance, and the leather boots creaked on the snow.After the patrol gradually went away, at the corner of the station near the warehouse, several figures hid in the darkness and stared at the front.

"Are you ready?" Levjet asked softly, raising his hand and looking at his watch.

"Everything is ready!" replied the person next to him.

"Okay! We have 10 minutes to sneak into the back of the warehouse. We must solve the hidden whistle on the left within this time and enter the warehouse! Now check your watches, it is 34:[-]!"

After checking the watch, Levjet raised his right hand and swung forward heavily. Several figures rushed out from everywhere one after another, and disappeared silently into the distance under the cover of the wind, snow and buildings.

1 minute, 3 minutes, 7 minutes... .Time passed by, Levjet lying on the snow, his eyes fixed on the front, his palms were full of nervous sweat.Until just after [-] minutes, the signal that had been waiting for finally came.

In the distance, in the shadow of the huge building of the warehouse, the faint light of a lit match suddenly lit up.

"Comrades! Let's go!"

Levjet gave the order excitedly, and as the commander of the operation, he even took the lead in jumping up, leading everyone across the road with vigorous steps, and rushed to the destination.

The dark sentry has been solved, and now the person who replaced the dark sentry is already his own, and he has also put on the uniform of the Russian Imperial Government Army.Leaving two people to assist, Levjet took out the tools he had prepared long ago to destroy the abandoned side doors, and led his men to sneak in through them.

Entering the warehouse, you can see the materials piled high and densely piled up.Everyone looked at the scene and couldn't help opening their mouths with emotion.It was Levjet who was the first to react. He immediately reminded everyone that time was running out, first find the location of the ammunition and ammunition, and then use them to destroy the materials in the entire warehouse.

After spending some time, he finally found something. Levjet asked people to move several boxes of shells and explosives, and then placed them everywhere.What is even more exciting is that a comrade actually found a pile of diesel oil. Levjet happily opened a few barrels and splashed them everywhere. With them, it would be much easier to destroy these materials.

Half an hour later, all the arrangements were completed, and the interior of the warehouse had become a powder keg that could be ignited.Moreover, the supplementary ammunition of the Russian Imperial Government Army also made them fully armed. Everyone had several short guns in their waists and long guns in their hands, not to mention grenades and the like. Weapons such as machine guns were too heavy to carry, and Levjet even wanted to take some of them home.

After the arrangement is complete, let the comrades evacuate first, and Levjet will cut off the rear in person.After confirming that they had evacuated safely, Levjet raised his hand and looked at his watch. According to the patrol time of the patrol team, he still had 3 minutes to evacuate.

Taking out the alarm clock timing device that had been prepared earlier, strapping on the detonator and explosives, and setting the detonation time, Levjet left quietly.

Ten minutes later, under the cover of darkness, Levjet's men evacuated to a safe area and dispersed.When Levjet quickly arrived outside his originally planned hiding place, he heard an extremely dull sound suddenly sounded from behind, then the ground began to tremble violently, and then one after another explosion broke the tranquility At night, the flames soaring into the sky illuminated half of the city at once.
