145 Hideout

Lin Xiuxuan was waiting anxiously here, and suddenly, several nearby searchlights dimmed.

I only heard that the puppet army on the other side of the river began to curse.

"Damn, why is there a power outage again? I see you kid will be checkmate by me. ”

"This is God's will, this plate is not counted, don't blame Lao Tzu for not admitting it?"

"best-of-five games, you've already lost two sets, I'll kill you later."

"What is a best-of-five game, start from scratch later, and the front doesn't count."

"If you say it doesn't count, it doesn't count?"

"I don't count, what's the matter? Still want to do it? ”

Dozens of meters away, the enemy began to make noise, and then pushed and shoved, and did not even send anyone to check why the power was out.

Lin put on the night vision device again, and at this time, several puppet soldiers on the opposite side had already scuffled, one of them was a squad leader with a note on his face, he hadn't won a game in 40 minutes, but the fight was okay, and he rode the opponent under him in three or two. The rest of the puppet army began to cheer, and it was clear that the power outage was not an unusual event for them.

Xu Chong's hand was simply seamless, leaving no obvious traces, and when the time came, the enemy would find the charred dead snake, and it would be easy to confirm the source of the accident.

Through the night vision device, I saw that Xu Chong and Lu Qingshan had already arrived in the middle of the river and beckoned to this side. Lin and the other two immediately packed up their things and went down to the river, and when they reached the center of the river, they stepped on the remains of the pillbox at the bottom of the river, and there is no doubt that Song Jiang's statement is reliable, this was once part of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou defense fortifications suggested by German consultants, and it was the place where more than 813 Japanese troops fought fiercely. They touched the entrance to the bunker, then took a breath and dived down, burrowed into a gap, swam a few meters, and found an air pocket. Coming out of the water, there are brick and stone passages all around, and after a few more steps, you will come out of the water, this kind of underground passage, which is used to connect this kind of bunker group to each other, is not easy to be completely destroyed by cannon fodder. Lu Qingshan, who was walking at the head, turned on the flashlight and could see that water was dripping all around.

"Be careful, there's a corpse ahead."

He reminded those behind him not to disturb the soldiers who died here.

After walking a few steps, sure enough, there were the bones of the national army lying on the ground, and the remains of tattered steel helmets and rifles were scattered everywhere. Judging from the twisted bones, the deceased died in unusual pain, and not in battle.

According to Song Jiang, this was once the most elite tax police corps in the national army, when the Japanese attacked, not only used 150 mm heavy artillery, but also used suffocating poison gas against the underground pillbox group, many defenders who went underground under artillery fire and held on to the ground were killed by the Japanese poison gas in the unventilated tunnels.

Throughout World War II, there were almost no examples of the use of poison gas bombs in the European theater, and this was a tacit understanding between industrialized countries that experienced the horrors of World War I on this weapon of destruction, which would inevitably lead to defeat for both sides, a bit similar to the balance of terror reached by nuclear weapons later, only Japan used these inhumane weapons unscrupulously against China, which was poor and weak, or Italy against Ethiopia.

They carefully bypassed the bodies of the dead, and from this situation, Wang Puppet and the Japanese did not grasp the situation of this tunnel. There is no relevant record of what happened here after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and I don't know if these corpses have been collected.

They continued on for about 150 metres, with a slightly tortuous route, and had left behind the various checkpoints, trenches, barbed wire, and the final fence above, and should have entered the core.

At the front was a pile of broken bricks, apparently a corner of a pillbox that had been blown up after being bombarded with heavy weapons. Lu Qingshan climbed up carefully, then pushed open a lid and climbed out. Lin followed and climbed up.

When he went up, he saw all kinds of shovels, pickaxes, brooms, and carts piled up around him. The house was covered with cobwebs, and it looked like a gardener's tool shed, but it had been abandoned for a long time. Looking back at the lid at the entrance, the bottom is made of wooden planks, and the top is covered with soil, once it is closed, there is no difference between it and the rammed earth, and it is not easy to find that there is a hole below, I think it was made by Song Jiang.

According to Song Jiang's confession, it was he who first discovered this passage, and he didn't talk about the original motive, but most of it was to steal, until one day he drank too much and said that he missed it, so he picked up the task of Wanlilang and hundreds of oceans in vain. Lin has always suspected that Song Jiang's job is not part of Wang's internal political infighting, and the details of the photos he took show that he is only on the mission of a private detective, and someone behind the pseudo-scenes (most likely Chen Gongbo's original partner Li Lizhuang) collects some evidence of cheating.

"Look, team leader, this place is quite close to the city hall building."

Lu greeted Lin to the window and looked out, and he could see the black outline of the town hall, which was dozens of meters away. There are also a large number of construction tools and materials piled up outside, which have apparently been out of work for some time.

Drone reconnaissance these days has shown that only the main building is in and out of the building, and the roof of the annex building is not covered, and almost no one enters or leaves.

According to historical records, the building was officially completed, which had to be delayed until after the liberation, and later became the main building of the Shanghai Sports Institute.

1941 year. Wang's puppet government has not completed the main construction because of lack of money, and later the Japanese occupied the concession, which also made the government buildings here completely lose the meaning of continuing to build.

There were a few dog barks in the distance, Lin looked at his watch, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, Ma Qiang and they should have escaped. He leaned down to the window, where there was no glass, and observed the enemy patrol group with the dogs, and when he saw them walking around the outside of the building, he came here, and he motioned for everyone to hide and keep quiet. After a while, I heard someone lead the wheezing dog outside, and a flashlight shone in, and the pillar of light shook into the shed for a few seconds, and then the person and the dog gradually moved away. Lin looked up again, only to see that the pedestrian continued to walk around the building, then turned to the south and did not enter the building, obviously, the patrol route was fixed, but did not include the city hall building.

"Team leader, let's hide in the shed for a day or two?"

"I'll go to the city hall first to scout, and if possible, we'll hide there. It's too small to be safe. We have made a big fuss in Hongkou, and it is estimated that in recent days, the enemy here will also increase mobile posts, hiding here is easy to be sniffed by wolf dogs, but the government building will be safer. In addition, it is best to find a phone, and it would be best if I could call Zhang Guangcai during the day tomorrow so that he could settle down. ”

Lin Xiuxuan and Lu Qingshan left the wooden shed and took advantage of the night to get under the building. Then they found the side door, where a frame was installed, and a few planks were nailed to it, which were used to temporarily block the idlers, and they crept into the annex through the gap.

The hallway was filled with various building materials and construction tools, and it looked like it had been suspended for a while. Forest. They walked down the hallway with their waists bent. All departments have put up signs.

Lin Yiyi identified various names one by one, including the Qingxiang Planning Group, the Propaganda Department, the Youth Training Department, the Taihu East Phase II Personnel Training Group, and so on, all of which were grass-roots departments that handled specific matters, and some bookshelves, tables and chairs were randomly placed in them, and there was obviously no formal office.

They went up to the second floor, and it was the same thing. There are piles of debris everywhere. On the third floor, the corridor was relatively clean, and the stairs to the fourth floor were blocked.

There is also a guardhouse at the top of the staircase, and there are only 4 rooms on the first floor, which is also locked, and it seems to be a place for big people.

The signs on the door are: Office of the Secretary-General of the Qingxiang Committee; Qingxiang Laws and Regulations Editorial Committee, Office of the Chairman; Office of the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Justice and Administration; The meeting room of the (temporary) secret service committee of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang.

Obviously, they were all the offices of officials with heads and faces, and Lin spent more than ten seconds stabbing the first secretary-general's office with a lock tool and getting in.

The office is unusually spacious, it is still a suite, there is a sofa on one side of the outer room, and a bookcase on the other, which should be where the secretary stays, and there is also a desk in the room, and there is a thick layer of dust on the desktop, and no one has come for a long time.

There are two telephones on the table, and as a rule of thumb, one should be able to dial directly to the outside line. There is also a row of picture frames. Lin held a small flashlight and looked at it carefully, most of them were group photos of high-ranking officials, several of which included Wang Jingwei and Chen Gongbo, of course, almost every photo has the owner of the office - Wang Manyun, he is a core member of Wang's puppet government, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and liberation, he was sentenced twice for traitor. There was a stack of documents on the table, and Lin Hasao looked at it, it was the proposal to suspend the construction of the office building due to insufficient funds, and the time was last month. It seems that Wang Manyun once presided over the work here, at least for last month, and stayed here for a few days.

"Looks like he's the biggest boss here."

Lin walked to the side and turned on a floor-standing radio, and the sound of squeaking came from inside. Apparently the building is already electrified.

“…… The Central News Agency on the morning of the 25th, the latest battle report. Our heroic national army, fierce battle for more than a month, a few days ago, in one fell swoop, the restoration of Jiangxi Anyi, the annihilation of the Japanese army of more than 1,000 people, the fourth administrative region inspector and security commander, Chiang Ching-kuo said, this battle is since the 27th year of the Republic of China, Wanjialing victory, the southern Jiangxi War of Resistance, another significant victory......"

On the radio, a female voice like a warm swallow of water is introducing the latest battle situation, about the national army has recovered a county town in Jiangxi, and the number of enemy annihilation has been exaggerated a lot, Lin of course noticed that the radio frequency points to the broadcast in Chongqing, it can be seen that Wang Pseudo These high-ranking officials still attach great importance to all kinds of news "over there", and it can be seen from the side that they are also worried about their future fate.

He tuned in a few times, and could hear some foreign language radio stations, as well as the sound of telegraphs of unknown significance. There are no updates on the attacks on the Seki and Hongkou commands, and it may have to wait until daylight. Personally, he was quite satisfied with his operation, and he really wanted to hear the comments of all parties, especially the enemy, and his mentality was somewhat similar to Wang Manyun's.
