Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 809
The guy in the teahouse, the secret agent of the Bureau of Secrecy, really did what he said. When Qian Xiaobao went there the next day, he told Qian Xiaobao that the matter had been settled.

A transport ship requisitioned by the Second Fleet of the Republic of China Navy departs from Shanghai tomorrow night to transport materials for the construction of the fortification upstream, and it can just take people along.

This situation is now the norm, and the accident on the Taiping ship is also related to the overweight caused by hundreds of passengers and a large amount of supplies on board.

"Tomorrow night, I will personally send you and your family on board!" the man said with a smile.

"Thank you, I left in such a hurry today that I forgot to take it with me. I'll give you the two gold bars I promised tomorrow!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Of course the gold bars were not forgotten. Qian Xiaobao had to get on the boat before handing over the two small yellow croakers to the man.

The next afternoon, when he was about to leave Shanghai, Brother Zhao was carrying a basket with the teddy dog ​​in it.

With the child on her back, Xiaohong was holding a big bag wrapped in a sheet with both hands, and Xiao Linxun was the same, also holding a big bag.

Both of them are in the same mood and don't want to leave anything behind.

"Everyone brings two sets of clothes, and the rest can only bring food and water! It will take three or four days on the road, and no one will take care of your meals!" Qian Xiaobao said.

After he finished speaking, he took the bundles from Xiaolin Xun and Xiaohong's hands and threw them on the ground.

"They're all good things, so just throw them away! Prodigal!" Xiaohong said distressedly.

"If you don't want you to stay here! This house is also given to you! If you want to leave, you can listen to me!" Qian Xiaobao said.

Hearing what Qian Xiaobao said, Xiaohong stopped complaining.

The two reluctantly brought a small bag.

Qian Xiaobao thought for a while and said: "Bring a mattress, and use it when resting in the cabin. This is a cargo ship, not a passenger ship, and there are no berths."

On the way to the riverside wharf, Qian Xiaobao bought a lot of food to take with him, and traveled more than 900 kilometers upstream from Shanghai to Wuhan, and it may take several days for the cargo ship to stop and go.There is no place to buy food if you want to buy it on the boat.

Qian Xiaobao took them across the river by ferry to Gaoqiao Town, where they were going to board a boat for Wuhan.

The man had been waiting on the pier for a long time. He saw Qian Xiaobao and the others coming, and looked at the things they brought and was very satisfied.

He pulled Qian Xiaobao to the side and said: "Give me the five small yellow croakers first, and I will take you to meet the person escorting the cargo ship."

Qian Xiaobao took out a handkerchief bag and handed it to the man. The man opened it and rewrapped it satisfactorily, then brought Qian Xiaobao to a cargo ship that was loading cement on board.

"Mr. Liu, this is Director Lin's good friend I told you about! Help, let their family board your ship tonight!" The man said to a person who was supervising the rank of loading captain on the shore.

"This is not acceptable. We are performing a military mission. If something goes wrong..." The captain surnamed Liu was still speaking in an official tone.

The buddy didn't even wait for him to finish speaking, and directly stuffed five small yellow croakers into his hands.

The captain touched the gold bars inside through the handkerchief and smiled.

It seems that he often encounters this kind of thing, so he knows that the five small yellow croakers are real just by the feel of his hand.

"The war is in chaos, people's hearts are full of meat! Besides, I'm still a good friend of Brother Lin, how can I not take care of it? There are four more people, right? Hurry up and get on the boat! I'll ask the people below to arrange a good seat for you !” The captain surnamed Liu said reasonably.

Qian Xiaobao hurriedly nodded his thanks and waved to the back for Kobayashi Xun and the others to come over.

"The three of you get on the boat first, I still have a few words to say to this brother." Qian Xiaobao said.

Qian Xiaobao shook the clerk's hand and said, "If you see Lin Zhengjiang again, tell him. If you go to HK one day, you can find me at Leon Trading Company on Queen Street."

Qian Xiaobao also told Zhang Lixing this sentence the day before yesterday when he said goodbye to Zhang Lixing.

"Sure, sure!" replied the man, clenching his hands into fists.Now he holds two small yellow croakers in his hand.

As soon as Qian Xiaobao boarded the boat, he realized something was wrong.

Dockworkers piled bags of cement on the deck.Cement is most afraid of moisture, and what is even more terrible is that if the surge hits the deck, the cement bag will definitely be soaked.Such cement cannot be used.

Although he saw through but couldn't tell, Qian Xiaobao followed Captain Liu without saying a word.

Captain Liu led them down the ladder and into the cabin.

Under the dim light, the cabin that should have been loaded was full of people.

"Squeeze in!" Captain Liu shouted.

He turned his head and said to Qian Xiaobao with a smile: "You guys should just sit at the door of the cabin. It is convenient to breathe here. There is no need to close the door of the cabin."

Qian Xiaobao escorted supplies to Shanghai many times, knowing what he said was right.If the cabin door was closed, the more than 100 people sitting inside would immediately be short of breath and hypoxic.

The people on board would rather let the transported cement suffer losses, but also make extra money by freeing up the cabin for loading people.

The more than 100 people in the cabin did not know how many small yellow croakers they took.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when several hundred tons of cement were loaded.The cargo ship slowly left Gaoqiao Wharf and headed upstream.

Xiaohong spread the mat she brought on the ground, and all four of them sat on it.

The cries of children and the coughing of old people can be heard from time to time in the cabin.

In the middle of the night, the train arrived at Jiangyin Fortress.

Where Jiangyin is located, the width of the Yangtze River is only 500 meters. Crossing the river from here can divide the defense line connecting Nanjing and Shanghai into two from the middle.Therefore, the geographical location of Jiangyin Fortress is very important.

The cargo ship slanted dozens of tons of cement here and continued sailing, arriving in Nanjing after dawn.However, the cargo ship did not stay in Nanjing for long and continued to go upstream.

It took more than three days to stop and go like this before the cargo ship arrived in Hankou.

At this time, the cement on the deck of the cargo ship has long since disappeared. Here, the cargo ship will turn around and go down the river loaded with weapons manufactured by Hanyang Arsenal.

Qian Xiaobao took Xiaolin Xun and the others ashore, and they were a little depressed after a few days of hard work on the boat.

"Find a place to live first, and I'll go to the train station to have a look." Qian Xiaobao said.

Usually, Xiao Linxun and Xiao Hong didn't have a good face when they saw Qian Xiaobao, but now they realized that Qian Xiaobao was still very useful, and they had to rely on him for everything when they were away from home.

Lin Zhengjiang walked into the teahouse wearily.

Now he has sent his wife and children to Xiamen, and he doesn't even have a home when he returns to Shanghai.

The Red Party army has already reached the Yangtze River, and the radio signals of the Shanghai underground party are very frequent.What Lin Zhengjiang shipped to Shanghai this time was a batch of radio monitoring equipment.These devices should be able to catch a lot of underground parties after use.

Several secret agents from the Security Bureau saw Director Lin, who hadn't seen him for a long time, coming, and they all came to say hello.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone else left, only one clerk said to Lin Zhengjiang in a low voice: "Director Lin, Mr. Qian came here a few days ago. I sent him and a few women on the boat to Wuhan through my relationship. Mr. Qian Said they were going south to Guangzhou from there."

"He is a kind and righteous person, and no one is willing to abandon him at critical moments!" Lin Zhengjiang said with emotion.

"Yeah, before he left, he left his contact address in HK, saying that if you go there in the future, you can find him." The guy said.
