At nine o'clock in the morning of October 13, according to the arrangement of Yamaki Ryuzo, Liu Zezhi routinely inspected the production workshop. In addition to the more than a dozen skilled workers recruited from Shanghai, the remaining dozens of workers were filled by Japanese military police officers who had received short-term training. The machine roared in the workshop, the workers were busy, Liu Zezhi turned around twice, walked out of the workshop, and came to the warehouse.

Several tall brick and wood warehouses were piled up with all kinds of medicines, and every day at one o'clock in the afternoon, the freighter that brought him and Ni Xin here transported the medicines here, and Yamaki Ryuzo personally escorted them with the ship.

Liu Ze was so anxious that Zhou Chengbin had said that the bureau headquarters had ordered that Western medicines, including penicillin, be obtained and shipped out of Shanghai by 15 November. According to Ryuzo Yamaki, the medicine on this isolated island will be loaded and shipped away by November 10, which means that the operation of the Shanghai station must be advanced to the 10th. Time is running out for myself.

This island not only has all kinds of Western medicines urgently needed by the soldiers who are about to defend against the Japanese invaders in Changsha, but also the penicillin production line that the military commander dreams of, but how can the news be spread?

On the first day on the island, Liu Zezhi paid close attention to the observation that except for a radio station that Ni Xin personally controlled, there was no communication equipment on the entire island. And this radio station can only contact Kagesa Zhenzhao twice a day on a regular basis. At other times, Ni Xin will unplug the vacuum tube and cut off the power supply.

The freighter, which transports the drugs raised and the raw materials needed for the production line, unloads the goods as soon as they arrive, and leaves after unloading, and Ryuzo Yamaki personally supervises the entire process. According to the rules of Yamaki Ryusanding, after the freighter lifts anchor and leaves, he can unload the cargo with the internal guard team. Strict segregation of any channels that could leak secrets.

Time passed day by day, and Liu Ze was at a loss.

On 18 October, Zhou Chengbin received a secret telegram from the third column: Send someone to escort Mianguanyi back to Chongqing, Dai Ru arrived safely in northern Jiangsu, and Chen Jinsong rushed back to Shanghai as planned. Zhou Chengbin, who was also anxious, decided to make an appointment with Chen Jinsong to discuss countermeasures.

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the secret room of the Baiwei Zhai Vegetarian Restaurant, Zhou Chengbin introduced the situation and said: "There is no news from the 86th until now, and Meng Xiaojie said that there is only a small warehouse in the Japanese military hospital, and the goods in it are basically transported away in a day or two. Ge Jiapeng, Yu Haochen and others reported that the price of Western medicine in the black market in Shanghai has been rising again, and the strange thing is that the price of penicillin, which leads the rise, has not changed much every time, and thirty percent of the new products of various pharmaceutical factories have been purchased by Ying Zuo Zhenzhao. Jin Song, bystander Qing, tell me your opinion. ”

"There can be no doubt about Eighty-Six's loyalty and dedication, and he must have a hard time getting in touch with us. Penicillin? This is the hottest medicine in the war, stationmaster, the last time No. 86 sent information that he had successfully set up a bureau for Yamaki Ryuzo and had already participated in the operation. Could it be that he is being isolated on some small island? I remember you said that the Japanese counterfeit banknotes were based on a small island. ”

Zhou Chengbin closed his eyes and thought about it, and replied: "There is such a possibility. What should we do to get in touch with him? ”

"He can't come out, we can go find him."

A sentence that woke up the dreamer, Zhou Chengbin opened his eyes in the twilight and said: "Follow Yamaki Ryuzo and find No. 86!" ”

Yu Haochen was ordered to follow Yamaki Ryuzo, four days later, at seven o'clock in the evening of October 22, he made an appointment with Zhou Jinsong in a teahouse on the Bund: "Deputy stationmaster, I led my action team to track Yamaki Ryuzo, the Japanese devil, he took people to drive a truck to the military hospital at eight o'clock in the morning every day, loaded the goods from there, and then went to the Peace Wharf, loaded the goods on the car onto a freighter, at about eleven o'clock he himself went to sea, and returned at four o'clock in the afternoon, the goods on the ship were gone. This is a candid photo taken by a subordinate who ordered to disguise himself as a dock stevedore. By the way, two days after he came back from going to sea, he went to Zhengjin Bank. ”

Chen Jinsong knew that Yamaki Ryuzo went to Zhengjin Bank to investigate Yoshiichi Mianguan and try to find out the truth about his wife's killing. He looked at the picture carefully and said: "Go to sea at eleven o'clock, return at four o'clock, five hours, throw away the time for unloading, the place he went to should be between fifteen nautical and twenty nautical miles from Shanghai." What islands are there at this distance? ”

Yu Haochen replied: "I also thought of this, I couldn't find a large-scale military map, I checked the civilian map, and I didn't find any islands in this area." ”

"The military map is easy to do, I'll check it." There is an action group at the Shanghai station, which is composed of fishermen who are familiar with the water transferred by the third column, and returned to northern Jiangsu after transferring the gold bricks with Dai Ru, Chen Jinsong decided to telegraph Dai Ru to urgently transfer this action group to Shanghai.

Yu Haochen asked, "What else do you need me to do?" ”

Chen Jinsong replied: "I will send someone to send you five gold bars at noon tomorrow, and within three days you will come forward to purchase three fishing boats, immediately refit them, and wait for my order." Chen Jinsong took out a black diary from his suit pocket, wrote down the contact code and location, and handed it to Yu Haochen: "Remember it in your heart, and then burn it." How long will it take to remodel a fishing boat, you are better than me, to sail twenty nautical miles from the coast and there is a possibility of a fight? ”

Yu Haochen, who was born as the chief engineer of an ocean-going freighter, thought for a while and said: "It takes at least a week to refit, and the purchase must be a relatively expensive new fishing boat, and five gold bars are not rich." I built three fishing boats to be converted in different ship repair yards, firstly to save time and secondly, to attract no attention. ”

"You look at it, so be it, money can make the devil grind, I'll give you ten gold bars, don't be afraid to spend money."

Yu Haochen struck a match, burned the note, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's easy to do things with money, you just give me twenty gold bars, and I will buy three motorized iron fishing boats for fishing in the open sea, the boats should be new and in good condition." In this case, it only takes three days to complete the modification. Anyway, the Golden Cicada Project, we got a lot of gold, and there is no shortage of this. ”

Chen Jinsong smiled bitterly: "If you let Stationmaster Zhou hear this, you will definitely be trained." The gold that Jin Cicada planned to get, do you think it is the private property of Shanghai Station? Even the military commanders could not take it for themselves, and all of them had already been transported back to Chongqing and handed over to the Nationalist Government. The funds are allocated by the headquarters of the bureau, and there are two lines, and there is no boundary. The golden cicada plan was successful, and Boss Dai was in a good mood, so he made an exception and gave 50 gold bars as a three-month activity fund, which was only 20 in the past, including the third column, and hundreds of people ate and drank supplies, and supplied guns and ammunition...... Alas, you're going to have to go halfway at once. Okay, I'll let it go, twenty will be twenty, and I'll send someone to you tomorrow. ”

After Yu Haochen left, Chen Jinsong ordered Ge Jiapeng to try to blend in with the freighter transporting medicines.

On the 24th, Zhou Chengbin once again came to the Baiwei Zhai Vegetarian Restaurant, and in the secret room, Chen Jinsong reported: "The action group composed of fishermen led by Lao Xie of the third column will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow. Yu Haochen has already purchased three new fishing boats and sent them to the ship repair yard for refitting. Unfortunately, Ge Jiapeng said that after investigation, all the sailors on the freighter were Japanese marines, and there was no way to get into the freighter. ”

Zhou Chengbin said: "It was expected. The last time the God of Wealth project was carried out, Eighty-Six managed to get a few large-scale military maps of the waters near Shanghai, and in the area you speculated, there were four unnamed islands. I have already ordered Dai Ru of the third column to send people disguised as fishermen to fish near the four islands, and I will soon be able to find out where the freighter escorted by Yamaki Ryuzo has gone. I heard Tang Jitian say that you applied for twenty gold bars? ”

Chen Jinsong said again: "Yes, I handed it over to Yu Haochen to buy a ship and repair the ship." In fact, I also feel distressed, such a large amount of money, fortunately, in the fourth quarter we have more funds, otherwise the Shanghai station and the third column will all have to drink the northwest wind. It's ridiculous to say, Yu Haochen said that Jin Chan plans to get such a large sum of money, and it's nothing to spend more. I trained him for a long time, and the materials we got from the Shanghai station can't just be for our own use. ”

Zhou Chengbin was in a trance for a moment: When did Zhai Yanmin see the four boxes of penicillin, and said something similar, alas, the Si people have gone...... How many comrades-in-arms sacrificed their lives for the country, but the sun flag, which symbolizes the shame of the countrymen, is still fluttering on the land left by their ancestors......

Chen Jinsong asked uneasily, "What's wrong with you?" Nothing happened, right? Is there any news on the eighty-sixth? ”

Zhou Chengbin came back to his senses and replied, "Oh, I want to start something else. Eighty-six is still not heard from. Jinsong, I have an idea, if we can be sure that the Japanese are storing medicine on that small island, we don't have to wait for the eighty-sixth, we can directly attack, armed raid, and forcibly rob the medicine! ”

Chen Jinsong thought for a moment and replied, "This idea is very bold, but it is feasible. But have you ever wondered: what to do after the robbery? It is impossible for the Japanese and No. 76 not to pursue us with all their might, and how can we be transported out of Shanghai? If we are not bad as expected, the Japanese have their own penicillin production line, such a large number of drugs, plus a production line, how easy is it to ship out of the big Shanghai controlled by the Japanese? Stationmaster Zhou, I have a plan: the Japanese also have to transport to Changsha, and the chance of success is much higher, and there is another advantage to this: No. 86 is not suspicious at all. ”

Zhou Chengbin said: "What you say makes sense, but this requires accurate information: Do the Japanese transport medicines by the Yangtze River or by railway? When does it delineate? Who is in charge of the escort? How many people are there? Even if we get in touch with Eighty-Six, he is unlikely to be able to grasp this qiē. So I decided to raid the island and rob the medicine. As for how to ship out of Shanghai, I have a plan...... However, approval from the office headquarters is required. "Once Zhou Chengbin's plan is implemented, it will come at the cost of Liu Zezhi's exposure. Liu Zezhi's undercover agent was ordered by Mao Renfeng, this is not something he can do, he must ask for instructions.

Chen Jinsong didn't ask any more questions, and said: "Then you can contact the bureau headquarters, the two ships that Yu Haochen bought can be refitted on the 26th and be on call at any time." ”

"Okay, we'll meet at the No. 2 liaison station the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow you will do a good job of the placement of the action group that Lao Xie brought."
