Chapter 54
"What are you doing there?"
One sentence scared Yang Qing Shan half to death.
He turned around and was shocked! Who knew scaring people could kill them? What a lack of public morality.
The newcomer was his roommate and partner, one of the six Chinese staff members. Probably because Matsumoto saw that he was injured and felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, he still had to rely on him to work for himself in the future.
It was already noon before he knew it, and lunchtime had arrived. There was no food to eat in the dormitory, so Song Ben had someone send some over. Lunch was as bad as ever, far worse than the dishes at home, but he had to eat anyway, or else he would go hungry.
Yang Qing Shan's injury was not serious, just some superficial wounds that looked scary but actually didn't cause much of a problem, so it didn't affect his actions.
After dinner, his roommate took away the rice bowl. Yang Qing Shan lay on the bed, thinking of ways to send out the intelligence.
He silently thought about the intelligence transmission method that Lian Chang had taught him. Then he got up, found a small piece of paper and half a pencil from the bed board seam, wrote a few words on the paper, drew a few strokes on the back, and finally rolled the paper into a small paper stick. He picked up a broken small water jug. This small water jug was brought by Yang Qing Shan from outside, it was already broken and could not hold water, only the bottom of the jug was left. His companions had tried to throw it away several times, but were stopped by Yang Qing Shan, who said it was his family heirloom and he needed to carry it with him at all times. Yang Qing Shan poked the bottom of the small water jug lightly with a pencil, a small piece of debris popped up, and under the debris, a small hole appeared on the bottom of the jug. He inserted the rolled-up paper stick into this small hole, then covered the small piece of debris again, spat on it, and wiped it with his hand, making the bottom of the jug look like it had not been touched, still dirty and broken.
Introducing one of Lian's secret agent's secret weapons - the broken water jar. This is not an ordinary broken water jar, but actually a message transmitter. A small hole has been drilled at the bottom of the jar beforehand, just deep enough to hold a small piece of paper. After the intelligence officer puts the information inside, they only need to cover it with fragments and seal the mouth by spitting on it. Finally, throwing away the broken water jar is all that's needed. Of course, since it's really broken, even beggars won't pick it up - only another intelligence officer who knows its value will pick it up after seeing the water jar, take out the information, and transmit it back to headquarters. It's suitable for those secret agents who are constantly being monitored by the enemy and don't have freedom of action. Currently, its success rate is 100%, with a detection rate of zero by the enemy. Disguise level: nine five-star stars.
Of course, this kind of weapon was used for the first time and was not discovered by the devils, and successfully transmitted the intelligence to Li Tie's desk.
The next day, Yang Qing Shan went to work. As soon as Matsumoto saw him, he patted his shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, saying "very good" several times. That day, Yang Qing Shan worked hard as usual, just like he hadn't been injured at all, and even rushed to take out the trash, losing his family heirloom jar in the process. Although his roommates didn't ask him why, they were clearly suspicious.
The special agent who had been pulling a rickshaw outside the foreign firm all day saw that the Yang family heirloom vase from inside the firm had been thrown into the trash heap, immediately picked it up and sent it to the mountain cave base of the headquarters.
Li Tie opened the small hole and took out the intelligence.
Intelligence report: There are devils' military uniforms and supplies in the foreign firm, with a layout diagram of the foreign firm's houses on the back of the intelligence.
Li Tie was overjoyed, now he finally had a goal.
The Yangtze River is surrounded by the enemy's encirclement, and it seems very difficult to go to Mingqiang. It may be a serious sacrifice. Li Tie didn't plan to take this risk at all. Fighting hard with the devils isn't Lian's style.
From the house layout map, it can be seen that there are many houses in this area and they are very dense, making it more convenient to do things secretly.
After discussion with Li Tie and his accomplices, they finally decided to conduct a field survey first and then act according to the situation.
Yaohang is far away from the ground, but it takes only a few hours by car.
Wearing the devils' military uniform, Li Tie led his troops, driving four cars, swaggering towards Yixian Dahaiyang. Even when they encountered puppet army strongholds along the way, they didn't give them a chance to fawn over them. In such situations, they uniformly ignored them and didn't even slow down much, just passing by directly, leaving behind a trail of dust that dyed these puppet soldiers who wanted to flatter the devils yellow with dirt.
They arrived at a place not far from Yimeng City, found a relatively hidden place to hide the car, and let the soldiers set up sentry posts. Li Tie led a few people to change into civilian clothes and sneak into Yimeng City quietly.
According to the markings on the intelligence map, it was mainly because Taiyohayashi was very famous in Yicheng, so they quickly found the place.
A few people walked around the Dahe Yanghang for a few laps, seeing the horse-drawn carriages coming and going at the entrance of the Yanghang, almost confirming the authenticity of the intelligence. At the entrance of the Yanghang, there were two fortifications made of sandbags, with several devils inside on duty, and next to them was a barrier, with devils carrying big guns patrolling back and forth from time to time. There were also some hidden bunkers that couldn't be seen, but it's estimated that they wouldn't be much different either. On the high wall of the Yanghang next door, electric wires were set up, with an electric light every now and then, and the high wall of the Yanghang was not adjacent to any residential buildings. Outside the outer wall of the Yanghang, there was a small road that the devils used for patrol. The gates of normal people's homes would not face this small road because it was too narrow, only two people could walk side by side, and one more person couldn't pass through.
Along this small road, I walked a round trip and didn't find any devils - the devils are not patrolling on this road during the day. Who would climb over the wall to play in broad daylight? Only at night do the devils come to patrol along the high wall.
It seems that how to get in from this high wall is the current problem to be solved. Of course, it's possible to mix in from the main gate, but what to do after getting in? The devils will definitely not easily believe themselves, and if things go wrong, they will be exposed immediately, and it is very likely that they will be surrounded by devils immediately, and then it is very likely that they will be invited by devils to visit the prison for free.
Back in the courtyard of the intelligence agent's house in the city, Li Tie still couldn't think of a way to sneak into the devil's foreign firm.
The courtyard of the intelligence agent was a small siheyuan, just east of the Ghost Building, with its large gate facing east. The gate of this small yard faced south, and behind the wing room was the patrol path of the devils, and going straight in was the innermost row of the devil's secret warehouse.
Sitting in the yard drinking tea, thinking of a way, at this time, a soldier who came with Li Tie holding an iron trowel used by a bricklayer came over and said to get some mud to help the landlord, that is, the intelligence officer, repair the stove.
Looking at the mud under his feet, Li Tie thought, if he couldn't pass from above ground, would passing underground be possible?
He invited everyone over, then shared his ideas with them and they all discussed it together. In the end, most of the warriors thought it was feasible. From then on, digging a tunnel under the wing room of the courtyard wasn't that difficult, nor did it require a large amount of engineering work. Also, this small courtyard had been purchased by the intelligence officer, with Li Tie paying the expenses, so the location was relatively good, at least not far from the main street, and only separated from two residential houses, making it relatively quiet.
Since it was settled, everyone immediately took action.
After lunch, everyone's tools were ready, and the iron hoes, baskets, and other equipment were all in place.
They started digging immediately, with about ten people divided into two groups. Some were responsible for digging the soil and others for transporting it, with clear division of labor and responsibilities assigned to each person. First, they dug down about two meters deep in the outhouse, then began digging towards the warehouse. Li Tie calculated that from the entrance of the tunnel to the small path behind the house was about two meters, the path itself was about one and a half to two meters, and then there was another two meters to the warehouse after crossing the high wall. This meant they would need to dig at least six to seven meters horizontally, or even eight meters, in order to possibly enter the warehouse.
Everyone piled up the excavated soil in another outhouse, the yard was too small and couldn't hold too much soil, so they had to use another outhouse as a garbage dump first.
Because Yicheng is located in a relatively flat area, the ground is all sandy soil and there are not many stones, so the construction progress is very fast. If it were in a mountainous area, it would be possible to dig up large rocks or boulders, making it impossible to continue digging forward. By the time the sky was about to darken, everyone had dug about 6-7 meters of horizontal tunnel. To be on the safe side, they dug another meter forward before starting to dig upwards. By the time it was completely dark, they had finally dug up to a height of about 1.5 meters. It would be a bit difficult to dig further up. The scout brought over a chair and stepped on it, as everyone was afraid that there might still be devils above, so they dug very carefully, little by little.
Finally, the iron shovel hit relatively hard three-mixed soil.
Three combined soil is a mixture of lime, mud and sand in a certain proportion, spread on the ground, then repeatedly pounded or rolled with heavy objects to make it solid. After drying, this three combined soil floor will be particularly hard and can prevent moisture. If this floor is well made, it may be harder than cement, but generally no one would put so much effort into it. Digging up three combined soil proves that the surface is not far away.
They soon carefully dug out a small hole, a tiny hole with a diameter of about one centimeter. They listened carefully above and found nothing, so the hole got bigger and bigger until it was possible for someone to climb up.
Li Tie climbed up first and looked around the warehouse.
This is a military uniform warehouse, with packages of cotton military uniforms, military coats and military cotton shoes everywhere. It's clearly for the devils' exclusive use, not the kind issued to puppet troops. It seems that if I were to move the entire warehouse myself, it would be enough for me to use for several years. But obviously this is impossible, just relying on my four cars wouldn't be able to carry everything away. Moreover, with just a few people like us, if we were to turn over the entire warehouse, I'm afraid that before the devils come to catch us, we would already be exhausted and unable to get up.
