It only took a few seconds for the smoke to dissipate, and after that, the opponent had disappeared.
Ma Xiaoguang felt his left arm go cold. It was a long bloody gash in the ribs of the Japanese spy killer. Fortunately, no bones were visible, but the blood was flowing. This was the last critical blow just now. of.
Ma Xiaoguang secretly rejoiced that his body was not weak in this life, otherwise, he would have become a disabled agent today.
The immediate danger was temporarily relieved. At this time, Lao Li quickly brought the stationmaster and the police over. Seeing that the commander was injured, Lao Li was a little anxious and hurriedly took out his medicine and bandages to disinfect Ma Xiaoguang and stop the bleeding.
Fortunately, the ribs were not poisoned, otherwise Ma Xiaoguang would have returned to the Central Hospital.
"I'm fine, Lao Li. Search this caboose carefully. In addition, the station master informed the train that he had to stop and give way, organize the manpower, recheck the train's brakes, and find a new caboose immediately. ..." Ma Xiaoguang said in one breath.
Not long after, Lao Li found the "operating commander" who had been knocked unconscious and tied into a rice dumpling in the glove compartment under the seat of the caboose. When he was loosened, he took off the cloth that was in his mouth and started operating. The captain burst into tears as if he were seeing a relative. He stood up, nodded and bowed, and thanked Lao Li constantly.
"Thank you, sir, for helping me..." the transport commander hurriedly thanked him.
The Jinpu Line is a major artery, equipped with sufficient technical support facilities and personnel. The new caboose will naturally have a new "operation commander". Before getting on the train, Lao Li carefully inquired about the new commander's situation at the station and made sure that there was no After the problem, station workers hooked the new caboose onto the train.
The station staff also comprehensively inspected all parts of the train from the front to the rear. After confirming that it was safe, the patrolman in the distance waved the green flag for clearance, and the train roared off again.
Returning to the first-class carriage, I asked the guards if everything was OK in the general's box. Feeling a little more at ease, I went to the conductor's room with Lao Li to rest.
"Boss, do you want to go to the hospital in Quancheng?" Lao Li was concerned about Ma Xiaoguang's injury.
"It's okay, no need, the scratch isn't deep..." Ma Xiaoguang said while smoking.
"The opponent's skills are not weak!" Lao Li couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the Japs are all well-trained. It is no exaggeration to say that their soldiers are first-class... The ambush by the river in the morning was just a calculation on our part, and the weapons were too powerful for them..." Ma Xiaoguang He also sighed.
The two chatted without a word. Three hours later, the train entered Wan Province and arrived at Zhucheng Station.
This is the first major station where the train stops. Just like in later generations, there are many vendors on the platform, selling cooked food, boiled water, dry food, cigarettes... and even cigars. As soon as the train pulls into the station, Then a commotion was heard.
Many hungry passengers in the third-class carriage got off the train and competed to bargain with the vendors. The platform was bustling with people. Some passengers getting off and getting on the train huddled together, and the stewards who maintained order shouted loudly...
However, those are the conditions in the third-class carriage. From the second-class carriage to the first-class carriage, everything is quiet and orderly. Many porters also help passengers carry their luggage and get on and off the train in an orderly manner, which is clearly different from the chaos in front. .
Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li both carefully examined the flow of people. Fortunately, everything was normal.
After stopping in Zhucheng for about twenty minutes, the train set off again.
The train drove for more than two hours, and it was almost time for dinner. Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li, who were wearing conductor uniforms, naturally found it inconvenient to go to the dining car to eat, so they didn't have three hundred taels of silver here.
The two of them who missed the lunch time went to the train conductor's office to enjoy the "cabbage beef stew" that Fatty had mentioned in the morning. Today's cabbage beef stew was cooked by Fatty himself. It was indeed much better than ordinary chefs. Although Chief Ma kept complaining about it, , but also had three bowls of rice.
It's not that he can't get used to Western food. The problem is that Chief Ma doesn't have the heart to eat steak and drink red wine with a big boss in this slightly messy train conductor's room.
"Excuse me, you two. In our line of work, we don't even have to be on time for meals..." The train conductor hurriedly laughed at the side. These people were greeted by the superiors. People who can't be offended should naturally be polite. .
"That's right. It's also good to eat in advance. The amount of food is enough." Old Li praised.
"Well, that's right. Fatty is good at his craftsmanship." Commander Ma still recognized Fatty's craftsmanship.
"Hehe, thank you, thank you, but the meal is almost here, I have to go to the kitchen to help..." The fat man was still very concerned about his duties, and after speaking, he turned around and prepared to return to the dining car.
The conductor's room was originally cramped. It was originally a place where the conductor could work and rest alone. Four big men were squeezed in at once, so it was naturally too crowded. The fat man was already fat. By accident, the conductor's lunch box, Water glasses, flashlights...everything hit the floor.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there are too many messy things here..." The conductor apologized quickly before the fat man could speak.
"The commander is too polite. The things here are originally here. It's us who have disturbed..." The fat man comforted the commander with a smile.
Hearing the conversation between the conductor and the fat man, Ma Xiaoguang had a thought in his mind and said to the fat man: "It seems that there is something extra..."
"What's extra? Isn't it just us? This place originally belonged to the captain." The fat man said while helping the captain clean up the scattered things.
After hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang was shocked and said, "I understand, there is an extra commander!"
When the commander heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and stood there at a loss.
Ma Xiaoguang glanced at the captain and said apologetically: "Sorry, captain, I'm not talking about you. Seriously, how many captains do you think a car has?"
The conductor said in confusion: "One train conductor, one operating conductor..."
"Yes, how many commanders do we have on the car now?" Ma Xiaoguang asked.
"I understand..." The fat man's expression changed when he heard this, and he opened the door and ran toward the kitchen.
"Boss, this..." Lao Li was still a little stunned, standing at the moment, a little confused.
"Everyone has forgotten that there is another one - the operation commander! Lao Li, search again quickly, you go to the front of the car..." Ma Xiaoguang said.
At this time, Lao Li also understood. It turned out that Ma Xiaoguang was talking about the "operating train commander" who was rescued three hours ago. At that time, everyone was busy checking the condition of the train, and looking at the "operation commander" who was bundled up in railway uniforms. Operations Captain", he neglected to verify his identity again. As the person who originally owned this car, even though there was a new caboose, it was natural for the Operations Captain to follow the car.
Now that the train was moving fast, Ma Xiaoguang did not dare to easily pull down the emergency gate to make the train stop. Otherwise, the entire Jinpu Line would be in chaos. Even if measures were to be taken, he would have to wait until he contacted the station dispatch.
The veteran operating commander who is still on the bus can do a lot of things and take action in many places. Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoguang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Ma Xiaoguang quickly arrived at the newly hung caboose at the rear of the car, and saw that the person here was the new "operation commander" who had boarded the car from the small station.
"Where is the original commander?" Ma Xiaoguang asked.
"I haven't seen it since I passed Zhucheng." Seeing Ma Xiaoguang's anger, the commander of the transport vehicle quickly replied.
"Is there any problem with the brakes?" Ma Xiaoguang asked the operating commander hurriedly.
"No problem, I checked it in Zhucheng..." The operation commander didn't say much. He stood up again and checked the brakes - no problem.
"Keep here, close the door, and don't let anyone in except me..." Ma Xiaoguang ordered.
After saying that, he closed the caboose door and moved forward to search.
From the caboose, baggage car, first-class carriage to the dining car, Ma Xiaoguang searched carefully and found nothing unusual, nor did he find the "operation captain" just now.
At this time, he was standing in the corner of the dining car, carefully looking at everyone in the dining car.
When meal time arrived, more and more people were in the dining car. As expected, most of the food on this train was Western food. The taste may not be good, but the price must be expensive, but there were still many people dining.
Ma Xiaoguang entered the kitchen and saw a sweaty fat man inside who had just finished an inspection. The fat man shook his head at him - indicating that the food was not suspicious yet.
Lao Li was in charge of the third-class and second-class carriages. Ma Xiaoguang thought for a moment and decided to guard the connection between the dining car and the first-class carriage. He gestured to the fat man - the dining car was handed over to him.
The locomotive blew its whistle and roared down the road.
After dinner, the sky gradually darkened, like a small city, the train gradually returned to calm...
Ma Xiaoguang has already asked the guard that everything is normal in the general's box.
Night has fallen, and the train has passed through Wan Province and entered Qilu Province. It is now a hilly area. From the harsh sound of metal friction coming from time to time, you can know that it is now ups and downs, and the frequency of braking has begun to increase. Got it
After entering Qilu Province, the operation commander looked at the brake airbrake more seriously, and his eyes were almost blinded by the airbrake. When getting on the train, the stationmaster specifically explained that the responsibility of this operation was different from the past, and that the responsibility was particularly heavy. If If something goes wrong, it's a trivial matter, and you might lose your head!
It was already a long downhill slope, and he needed to brake at the same time. The moment his hand just touched the air brake, there was a "bang" sound, and he was hit hard on the back of the head, and then he didn't know anything. .
It turned out that the old "operation commander" on the car appeared in the caboose like a ghost at some time or by some method. The dim light in the caboose reflected half of his face, which was eerie and terrifying.
He took out the tools from the tool box and began to prepare to remove the airlock...
At this time, his vision suddenly went dark, and the originally dim lights in the caboose were completely extinguished. He remembered a voice in his ears: "It's so troublesome to tear it down, why not just smash it?"
When the old "operation commander" saw his appearance exposed, he did not panic or raise his head. He just waved his hand and threw the wrench in his hand towards the source of the sound.
This throw missed, but the old "operation commander" quickly took out a handful of ribs from his waist. He danced the ribs in circles, and the water couldn't splash in. He could only hear the ribs passing by in his ears. A wooden hiss.
However, after a few dances, his arm went numb, and he was hit hard on the ribs, almost losing his grip. However, he was not in the mood to get entangled with the other party. Then, in the glimmer of gold and iron, he saw the airlock, and instinctively moved from his waist. He pulled out his pistol and pointed in the direction of the airlock, "bang bang bang..." and fired the bullets in the gun in one breath.
The voice just now shouted in my ear again: "Hurry, he will die together!"
Finally succeeding with one blow, he smiled proudly, ignoring the other party's shouts, the suddenly accelerating train, and the fact that they would die together.
The image of the entire train rushing off the track had emerged in his mind. The train derailed and rolled over the fields in the Qilu hilly area. A raging fire broke out on the train. Countless innocent lives were ended in this way. The most important target person, The companion took a sharp ax, broke open the door of the first-class carriage, and rushed in...
