The floor that Tang Cheng put into his portable equipment bag was just a small piece of floor. His new skill could only be activated under the control of his portable equipment bag. Therefore, after Tang Cheng successfully collected the first floor, he had to take it out from the portable equipment bag before he could collect the next round of skills. After doing this several times, Tang Cheng successfully made a hole on the floor of the room big enough for him to pass through.
A big hole was opened on the floor of the room on the second floor. Below the big hole was the corresponding room on the second floor. Just like the room Tang Cheng was in, the room under the big hole was also empty. Tang Cheng jumped down from the big hole and moved into the room on the first floor. He did not act immediately. Instead, he moved to the door first, calmed down, leaned against the door and listened carefully for a while. The room Tang Cheng chose was not too close to the lobby on the first floor, so he heard nothing as he was close to the door.
After confirming that there was no danger, Tang Cheng began to recall the topographic map he had seen, and then from the position of the door in this room, he began to measure the distance step by step, and finally stopped at a position 2 meters in front of the desk. The topographic map provided by the Shanghai underground party organization marked that the underground warehouse of the Military Police Headquarters is underground on the left side of the first floor of the building. The position where Tang Cheng was standing at the moment was exactly on the upper right side of the underground warehouse. This meant that Tang Cheng could enter the underground warehouse as long as he penetrated the floor beneath his feet.
After a slight pause, Tang Cheng leaned down again, emptied his equipment bag again, and started a new round of digging holes. The basement of the Military Police Headquarters was later renovated. After Tang Cheng painstakingly dug out the floor, he discovered that there was a layer of concrete underneath. Fortunately, Tang Cheng's new skills were powerful. Even if the Japanese army in Shanghai added steel bars to the concrete, it would still be a piece of cake for Tang Cheng.
About half an hour later, Tang Cheng finally dug a hole in the concrete layer. The faint light coming from the hole made Tang Cheng secretly slow down his movements. Tang Cheng, who realized that he had penetrated the concrete layer, used a very awkward posture, lying on the floor with his head and feet, listening carefully to see if there was any sound from the hole. Tang Cheng knew that the most critical point had now been reached, so he did not dare to have the slightest impulse, for fear that an accident would cause the operation to fail.
As time passed, Tang Cheng lay on the floor in this awkward posture and waited for more than half an hour. For half an hour, Tang Cheng, who was lying above the hole, did not hear the slightest sound. This meant that there was no one on duty in the underground warehouse below the hole. After coming to this conclusion, Tang Cheng couldn't help but secretly feel happy. After getting up and moving his hands and feet, Tang Cheng used his new skills to expand the size of the hole.
A few minutes later, Tang Cheng successfully expanded the hole that was originally only the size of a pencil to a size large enough for him to enter and exit. Putting the weapons and equipment placed on the floor beside him into his carry-on equipment bag, Tang Cheng jumped into the cave. Although there was no one in the underground warehouse, there were lights on inside. There were six or seven chandeliers hanging on the top of the underground warehouse. The underground warehouse the size of a basketball court is reflected very clearly.
How big is a pile of 2 tons of gold? The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm, and one cubic meter of gold is 19.32 tons, so the volume of 2 tons of gold is approximately 0.1 cubic meters. There were a lot of piles of materials covered with military canvas in the underground warehouse. I heard that I could only lift the canvases one by one to check and confirm. Finally, in the corner of the underground warehouse, I finally found a row of wooden boxes also covered by canvas. With excitement, Tang Cheng pried open one of the wooden boxes with a short knife and pushed aside the straw used as a filler in the wooden box. A touch of gold finally caught Tang Cheng's eyes.
The greedy Japanese army smelted these 2 tons of gold into gold bricks weighing 10 kilograms each. Each wooden box contained four such crudely smelted gold bricks. There were exactly 50 wooden boxes here. After confirming the location and quantity of the gold, Tang Cheng immediately walked to the northwest corner of the underground warehouse. According to the information collected by the Shanghai Underground Party, there was an abandoned warehouse about ten meters outside the northwest corner of the underground warehouse of the Military Police Headquarters. sewer.
Tang Cheng didn't know if the Japanese army in Shanghai knew that there was such an abandoned sewer outside the military police headquarters building, but this was his only chance to get away with the gold. After determining the direction, Tang Cheng began to use his new skills to drill holes in the wall one meter above the floor of the underground warehouse. There are still at least several hours before dawn, and Tang Cheng needs to dig through the passage to the sewer from the northwest corner of the underground warehouse during this time.
Time passed slowly as Tang Cheng was busy. Three hours later, Tang Cheng finally used new skills to successfully open up the long-abandoned sewer. Tang Cheng didn't know where this abandoned sewer led to. Lying in the passage, he simply glanced at the dirty sewer with a flashlight, and then retreated into the underground warehouse on his hands and knees. The channel has been opened. In the next time, Tangcheng needs to start transferring the gold according to the original plan.
If a 2-ton weight is transferred at normal speed, almost any adult can do it. But the gold in the underground warehouse consists of 200 gold bricks weighing 10 kilograms. It is not easy for Tangcheng to move this gold alone. Fortunately, Tang Cheng had a carry-on equipment bag. He chose to put a piece of it into his carry-on equipment bag, holding a piece in his hand, and worked back and forth for almost 2 hours before transferring all the gold into the sewer. .
After transferring all the gold, Tang Cheng placed the wooden box originally used to contain the gold in its previous location, then filled the passage on the wall with soil, and finally took out the cement that had been prepared long ago and sealed the wall. The traces on it are also carefully wiped clean. Among the supplies that Tangcheng had inspected before, there were also a large number of weapons and ammunition, including zhayao and many mortar shells. Before leaving the underground warehouse, Tang Cheng took out the zhayao that he had prepared long ago and placed timing devices on the weapons and ammunition.
When Tang Cheng left the underground warehouse, it was already bright outside the Military Police Headquarters building. In one hour, it would be time for the Military Police Headquarters to go to work. After returning to the first floor, Tang Cheng did not think of a way to leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed to rest. He had been busy all night, and Tang Cheng's physical strength was very exhausted. It was only when he heard voices outside the door that Tang Cheng finally opened his eyes. Returning to the underground warehouse, he activated the timer device, and then returned to the first floor to count the time silently.
Tangcheng has timed the baozha device in the underground warehouse to one hour, which means that when the explosion occurred in the underground warehouse, it happened to be the normal working time of the Military Police Headquarters. After making the final deduction in his mind, Tang Cheng, who was already standing behind the door, stretched out his hand to open the door and walked out of the room with a calm expression. There were already people coming in and out of the corridor on the first floor, but no one paid any attention to Tang Cheng, who was also wearing a Japanese military uniform. Tang Cheng swaggered along the corridor and walked to the lobby on the first floor.
It's almost time to go to work now. Most of the military police on duty who originally guarded the lobby on the first floor have withdrawn, leaving only two armed military police guarding the entrance of the building. When Tang Cheng came out of the corridor, he happened to catch up with several civilian personnel from the military police headquarters coming in from the outside, so the military police on duty did not have time to carefully look at Tang Cheng who was walking out. Those who come in from outside must be inspected by the military police on duty, but no one pays attention to those who go outside, which makes it easier to leave Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng, who successfully passed the two checkpoints of the building's main entrance and the courtyard gate, suppressed his excitement and turned around the street outside the Gendarmerie Headquarters at a normal pace, then immediately accelerated his movement. After rushing to the small courtyard where he stayed last night, he recovered the weapons and equipment hidden in the courtyard. After changing into plain clothes, Tang Cheng rode a bicycle and rushed non-stop to the gateway to the concession in Hongkou District.
Due to the continuous attacks, inspections at the checkpoint leading to the concession in Hongkou District were extremely strict. When it was Tangcheng's turn to be interrogated, the military police headquarters was already in chaos. The clerical staff who came to work in the morning immediately discovered that in the two opposite rooms on the first and second floors, a hole large enough for an adult to pass had been drilled into the floor. The person who discovered the situation immediately reported the situation to the military police on duty, and the military police major on duty immediately ordered the military police headquarters building to be cordoned off.
After confirmation, the Gendarmerie Major on duty discovered that underneath the hole on the first floor was actually the underground warehouse of the Gendarmerie Headquarters. Without a warrant from his superiors, he did not dare to ask people to enter the underground warehouse through the hole, so he could only seal off the entire building while reporting the situation to his superiors. This trip naturally delayed time and gave Tang Cheng the opportunity to leave Hongkou District safely. By the time the Military Police Command ordered the blockade of Hongkou District's external checkpoint, Tang Cheng had already pushed his bicycle through the checkpoint safely and entered the concession. .
Looking at Tangcheng in Hongkou District from a distance, he secretly counted down the time in his heart. The moment the countdown reached zero, Tangcheng immediately felt the vibration under his feet. Following several consecutive loud noises, Hongkou District was in chaos, especially the civilian personnel who were controlled by the military police in the courtyard of the Military Police Headquarters. The y arranged in the underground warehouse in Tangcheng
The bomb device detonated the munitions on the hour. One side of the military police headquarters building expanded violently, and then spewed out a large amount of masonry dust.
I don’t know if it’s because there aren’t enough arms stored in the underground warehouse of the Military Police Headquarters building, or for some other reason. The Gendarmerie Headquarters building where the big explosion occurred did not completely collapse. Looking at the dangerous and shocking big explosion, only half of the Gendarmerie Headquarters building collapsed. The other half of the building that was not above the underground warehouse only stood tenaciously on its original site. position.
