Chapter 63: Departure
In this warehouse that Lu Yuan infiltrated, there were not only weapons and ammunition, but also personal belongings secretly carried by the military or temporarily stored. Lu Yuan continued to pry open the wooden box, first loaded a box of Tomosaka rifle cartridges and two boxes* into the storage space, and then began to rummage*. Lu Yuan, who was alone in the warehouse, unscrupulously pried the wooden box, and after a lot of effort, the warehouse was made a mess by Lu Yuan, until he rummaged through a few boxes*.
If he wanted to destroy the munitions and materials stored by the Japanese army in the warehouse, the only means he could use were to set fire to them and bury mines, but Lu Yuan couldn't make them, so he could only choose the stupidest way. After Lu Yuan pried open a poke of gasoline and spilled the gasoline on the pile, Lu Yuan took out a few rummaged Japanese lunch boxes and poured gasoline into them. The lunch box filled with gasoline was placed on a fire filled with gasoline, and Lu Yuan finally fixed the lit incense stick on the lunch box, as long as the incense stick burned to the level of the gasoline in the lunch box, the fire head would immediately ignite the gasoline in the lunch box, and then cause a fire.
Lu Yuan did not consider the factor of gasoline volatilization, because he would leave this warehouse immediately, whether the gasoline in the lunch box would cause a fire, whether the fire would cause the explosion of arms in the warehouse, these were not things that Lu Yuan needed to consider. Lu Yuan sneaked into the freight yard area with the help of night, and also quietly left with the help of night, about an hour later, a fire suddenly broke out in the freight yard area of the wharf and then caused an explosion, and Lu Yuan had already returned to his residence safely.
A fire broke out in the dock area, which caused an explosion, and at least three warehouses where the munitions were stored were almost flattened by the explosion, and even the Japanese troops on duty at night suffered considerable casualties. In the end, the disgraced Japanese military police units who were tossed by Lu Yuan in the concession area found nothing, and a fire and explosion broke out in the dock area, and the Japanese army worked all night, but the Japanese army found nothing, and many people, including Sakata Goichi, were severely reprimanded by the military police headquarters.
"Li Sang, our enemy is very cunning, what happened on the dock must have something to do with him, I'm just curious how he did it." Coming out of the gendarmerie headquarters, the originally disgraced Sakata Tsuyoshi breathed a long sigh of relief, just a reprimand, it was nothing to him, as long as he didn't transfer him back to the mainland. Li Shiqun, who came out with him, was also secretly relieved, but there was Sakata Gangyi in front of him, and Li Shiqun didn't have to bear too much pressure.
Sakata suspected that the incident at the dock had something to do with the mysterious person they had captured, but Li Shiqun did not say anything, in fact, he didn't know what to say at the moment. The mysterious person who almost killed himself, Li Shiqun felt that he should use the word "elusive" to describe the existence of the other party, how could a mysterious person be easily caught. Li Shiqun even felt that he should persuade Sakata Goichi, who had already gone a little crazy, to give up continuing to pursue this mysterious person, and then focus on other places, such as encircling and suppressing the underground party or the military command.
It's just that when the words came to his lips, Li Shiqun paused, looking at Sakata Goichi who was chattering in front of him, Li Shiqun suddenly felt that if Goichi Sakata continued to be enchanted and continued to capture the mysterious person, it might be a good thing for himself and No. 76. Li Shiqun, who was cautious, did not say much, and listened to the chatter of Sakata Goichi all the way and left the military police headquarters, but after he returned to the No. 76 headquarters, he immediately called a meeting of his henchmen to demand that the round-up of the underground party and military commanders in the concession be strengthened.
When Li Shiqun tried to use Sakata Goichi to capture the mysterious man, he vigorously rounded up the underground party and military commanders in the concession as a bargaining chip to ask for merit and reward from the Japanese army. But he didn't know that Lu Yuan, who was hated by Sakata Gangyi, was already planning to leave Shanghai, and once Lu Yuan left Shanghai, the hopeless Sakata Gangichi would once again focus on the underground party and military commanders. When the sky was slightly bright, Lu Yuan made several phone calls one after another, one of which was to Thomas.
Lu Yuan took the Japanese army to stir up a pot of porridge in the French Concession last night, and even attacked the wharf and freight yard controlled by the Japanese army. Although he knew that the Japanese puppet spy agency did not know his appearance and specific situation, but in line with the principle of being cautious and not making a big mistake, Lu Yuan still decided to ask Thomas and them to escort him out of Shanghai, after all, the Japanese did not dare to turn their faces with the Americans openly at present.
From the fact that he had time to call Thomas, he naturally had time to call Xu Huanshan, on the phone, I heard Lu Yuan say what he had done last night, and Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone was already stunned. originally thought that Lu Yuan was already bold enough to fight with the Japanese army in the French Concession, but he didn't expect that in the meantime, Lu Yuan actually carried out an ambush on the enemy near Hongkou District, and finally caused a fire and explosion at the dock.
"You're going to turn the sky upside down!" The matter has already come out, Xu Huanshan is naturally not good to say anything more, after being stunned, Xu Huanshan can only sigh secretly, it seems that Lu Yuan will not leave this time. "Is there a specific place to go? Would you like me to introduce you to a place? Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone cautiously tried to land far away. Lu Yuan naturally knew what place Xu Huanshan wanted to recommend to him, but he was deeply aware of his character flaws, and the disciplined Eighth Route Army was actually not suitable for him.
Lu Yuan only groaned slightly when he heard this, and even rejected Xu Huanshan's kindness on the phone, "Old Xu, thank you for your kindness, you also know that I am a person who doesn't like to be controlled." I know what you're talking about, and maybe it's not for me. Lu Yuan's answer sounded a little tactful, but the meaning was already clear, and Xu Huanshan had no choice but to give up when he heard this.
Lu Yuan called Xu Huanshan, just to tell the other party that he had left some weapons and ammunition for the underground party in his new residence, but as for the specific time when he left Shanghai, Lu Yuan did not tell Xu Huanshan. Hanging up the phone, Xu Huanshan's face was faintly lonely, although Lu Yuan was young, he was a good comrade-in-arms and partner. From the beginning of knowing Lu Yuan to the present, the underground party organization in Shanghai has grown stronger and stronger, and Lu Yuan accounts for the vast majority of the credit.
was finally leaving, and Lu Yuan, who hung up the phone, was also secretly sighing, recalling that when he first came to Shanghai, he just wanted to find a place to live in this troubled world. But along the way, his mentality has been subtly changing, from the initial small fight, to now he is often fighting with more than 100 Japanese soldiers, and his combat effectiveness is also growing little by little. In Lu Yuan's contemplation and recollection, time passed little by little, and it was not until Thomas knocked on the door that Lu Yuan finally came to his senses.
"Thomas, if you can, you'd better return to the U.S. early with your family. The Japanese are crazy now, after all, the United States is too far away from China, and if the Japanese army does something crazy, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to regret it then. Finally, he turned around and glanced at the room on the second floor, Lu Yuan, who got into the car, suddenly whispered to Thomas, who was driving in front of him, and Thomas just smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
"Boss, I know you have good intentions, but the Japanese will definitely not dare to provoke the United States, because they need American steel." Thomas's answer sounded very confident, and in fact, the fact that the United States supplied Japan with so-called scrap steel was not a confidential matter. Lu Yuan didn't judge Thomas's answer, out of morality, he had already reminded Thomas that whether they could listen to them or not was not his business.
Thomas drove himself, and as expected, he encountered checkpoints set up by the Japanese army along the way, and there were more than one of them. Fortunately, there were four people in Thomas's car, including Lu Yuan, and seeing that there were three Americans and a so-called Chinese-American translator in the car, the Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint did not stop the car from leaving. After passing through several Japanese military checkpoints in a row, the speed of the car gradually increased, and it went out of Shanghai, and under the guidance of Lu Yuan, the car drove all the way to Suzhou.
There are also checkpoints set up by the Japanese army here in Suzhou, relying on Thomas's blonde hair and American passport, the car has crossed Suzhou without danger. "Okay, just send it here, here's the rest of the money." The car left Suzhou not far away, and Lu Yuan asked Thomas to park the car on the side of the road, and then took out a roll of banknotes and handed it to Thomas. Thomas took the banknote, counted it carefully in front of Lu Yuan and his two companions, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan got out of the car, watched the car turn around and return, and when Thomas and their car had gone away, Lu Yuan walked down the roadbed, directly crossed the stream not far from the roadbed, and went all the way north along the winding path in the field, and soon disappeared into the field. When Xu Huanshan arrived at Lu Yuan's new residence, Lu Yuan had already been sent out of Shanghai by Thomas, and after reading the letter left by Lu Yuan in the residence, Xu Huanshan opened several hidden compartments in the room according to Lu Yuan's instructions.
Lu Yuan's new residence is an apartment, and it is impossible to dig tunnels and arrange basements like the previous single-family bungalows. Lu Yuan just found someone to design a lot of secret compartments in the apartment, and the weapons, ammunition and equipment left for the Shanghai underground party scattered and hid these secret compartments of self-love. Xu Huanshan carefully looked at these cleverly designed secret grids, and finally did not decide that Amashi would transfer these weapons, ammunition and equipment, because he felt that the apartment left by Lu Yuan could be used as a secret base for himself.
Just when Xu Huanshan was inexplicably sighing in the apartment, Lu Yuan had already walked far along the field, and Lu Yuan, who seemed to be empty-handed, actually only needed to identify the correct direction of travel, because all his supplies and packing had been stored in the storage space. The last time he turned around and looked in the direction of Shanghai, Lu Yuan's face was full of lightness, maybe this time he would never have the opportunity to return to Shanghai, but Lu Yuan did not feel lost and helpless, because he was about to face new challenges and opportunities.
