At this time, several of the thugs ran toward the noisy place,
I saw two strong men not far behind, surrounded by gangsters. They seemed to be undercover agents or spies from the police department. For some reason, they were exposed and their identities were revealed.
The thugs surrounded the two people without saying a word. The leader showed a fierce look in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and made a strong determination, and said fiercely: "I'll kill them!"
I saw the thugs forming a circle, and two muffled groans came from the crowd, followed by "Plop, plop..." The muffled sounds continued to come, and blood gurgled out from the ground...
Ma Xiaoguang felt palpitations in his heart for no reason, not because of fear, but because he felt that they were all his own compatriots, and that these people were so indifferent to human life. It was really inhumane! It seems that if there is a chance in the future, these gangsters and spies cannot be kept. They are the scum of the world and should all be swept into the landfill.
Not long after, the undercover matter was dealt with, and a document came over asking everyone to show their identity certificates for verification. Many new members of the gang started shouting, "What the heck, why is joining a gang the same as being a soldier? There is also registration verification." ?
The clerk said impatiently: "No one insists on your coming. If you don't want to verify, just get out!"
However, in many places, there are many people who want to earn two coppers a day. Although they cursed, they stayed and waited for verification.
Ma Xiaoguang and the other three remained silent, waiting for verification - the police station had already prepared a complete set of identity information for them, so they were not afraid of verification.
It took almost an hour for the three of them to check it out. As soon as they got out of it, they saw Qi Jiu walking over and announced: "You guys, even if you pass, you will be helping me. From now on, follow me, as long as there are orders from above." , I will tell you... Let’s leave today.”
After coming out of Shuixi Gate and walking to a deserted place, Lao Li couldn't help but said: "Boss, there is something weird about this Qinglong Gang!"
"It's not just weird, they spent money to find people, most likely with evil intentions..." Ma Xiaoguang did not show off, he directly told the big case. The death of the two secret agents made him feel very bad. He was not in the mood to show off, let alone joke. .
"In these days, the most worthless thing is human life. These bastards must be holding back their misfortunes. We came to the right place this time." The fat man was also a little depressed and had no intention of arguing with the boss.
"Okay, go back to Chicken Goose Lane and inform Lao Chen and Lao Tu to come over and discuss it." Ma Xiaoguang ordered.
Chicken Goose Lane, Action Department Conference Room.
"Team leader, my subordinates have just reported that someone has delivered news to the dead mailbox. According to your instructions, we did not alert the snake and let him come and go as he pleased." Lao Tu Hui of the second team reported.
"Someone has just been to the Japanese spy safe house. This time it was an old man, but his body movements were very agile... He still didn't alert him. This is a surveillance record..." Old Chen from the first team was very calm while reporting. Surveillance records are out.
"Well, everything is fine. Everyone just performs their duties. By the way, Lao Chen and Lao Tu, you have recently asked your brothers who have time to pay more attention to the movements of gangs in Jinling and surrounding areas." Ma Xiaoguang arranged.
"By the way, team leader, I was just about to report to you. My informant told me the day before yesterday that several gangs led by the Qinglong Gang have been recruiting people everywhere recently. I originally thought they were going to quarrel with each other. However, I haven't seen anything in the past two days. Like..." Lao Tu couldn't let Lao Chen specialize in beauty, so naturally he had to provide first-hand information.
"Very good, everyone is good. Lao Chen, please pay more attention to the news of the army and the police station, especially departments like the urban defense force and the mobile brigade of the police department." Ma Xiaoguang knew that Lao Chen was meticulous in his work, and this kind of internal investigation It's a delicate matter, it's better for him to handle it.
"My third team has also made arrangements. Everyone should go all out. Don't be affected by the news from outside. We must catch the spy's tail." Ma Xiaoguang ordered.
At noon the next day, in the house on Chengxian Street, the cups and plates on the table were messy, and the food and wine were almost finished. Qi Jiu repeatedly declined: "Brother, Brother Jiu, I really can't drink anymore. If I drink anymore, I will get really drunk..." "
"Brother Ninth, you are called Brother Ninth. Naturally, your drinking capacity cannot be compared with that of ordinary people. How can you do this..." Ma Xiaoguang couldn't help but persuade him.
"Brothers, you go on the road. Brother Jiu, I don't know how to hiccup... I'm sorry to you. Don't worry, you will have oil and water soon." Qi Jiu said after being given a drink.
"What oil and water?" This time it was Fatty and Lao Li who asked.
"It's not explicitly stated above that we will be given guys...then you can make them as hard as you can." Qi Jiu's words were a little blurry, and he looked like he was really drunk.
"Then, I still need Ninth Brother to take care of me. If there are benefits, I will definitely not forget Ninth Brother." Ma Xiaoguang persuaded him again.
"Brother, I really can't drink anymore. This girl's beauty is so strong that I'm a little confused. I have something to do in the afternoon..." Qi Jiu was not completely drunk yet, so he interrupted the conversation.
After Qi Jiu left, Fatty and Lao Li glanced at Ma Xiaoguang, but Ma Xiaoguang smiled and said, "Don't look at me, everyone just goes and follows Qi Jiu."
Soon, Qi Jiu was followed by Lao Li, and Fatty called to transfer support. Although Qi Jiu was only a small role, everyone still didn't care. They still followed the segmented tracking method and took care of themselves. Easy to expose.
The first section was followed by Lao Li, the second section was followed by Fatty, who had a special figure and could not walk, and took a rickshaw. The third section was followed by a young man named Liang Shuang from the first team, and the last section was followed by Ma Xiaoguang himself, but he saw Qi Jiu walked and took a car, but arrived at a manor in Jiangjun Mountain in the southern suburbs.
The manor's security was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There seemed to be nothing outside. When entering the archway of the manor, there were groups of thugs with weapons. Some had short guns on their waists, some had short knives, and some carried long guns on their backs. , some teams even had dogs on leashes, and it seemed like they couldn't get into the manor without special equipment.
Ma Xiaoguang had no intention of going in at the moment. After waiting for a short time, both Fatty and Lao Li arrived. The three of them discussed for a while and prepared to divide the work and cooperate to explore the periphery of the manor.
Ma Xiaoguang checked the northern and eastern sections that he arrived first. Fatty checked the western section, and the last southern section was handed over to Lao Li. He saw that the manor was built against Jiangjun Mountain, with an archway and a circle of similar drainage around it. The ditch serves as the separation between the periphery and the manor. Unlike traditional Chinese manor houses that use fortress walls to naturally separate the manor from the outside, this manor naturally utilizes mounds, ditches, caves, bushes, towers...these are scattered around. There are natural or artificial landscapes, and peripheral defenses similar to fortifications and trenches are set up in a criss-cross pattern.
Intuitively speaking, a set of defensive positions were set up using various natural landscape arrangements. However, due to the lush vegetation of Jiangjun Mountain and it being early summer, most of the fortifications were well hidden and not easy to be seen.
The patrol team patrols everywhere regularly and irregularly. It is almost impossible to sneak in unprepared with bare hands. If it is to attack here, if it does not use heavy weapons such as mountain artillery or field artillery, the opponent only needs to place them at several key commanding heights. With good machine guns, even a regiment of national troops may not be able to attack from the front. Even if they break in, it can easily turn into a Republic of China version of a meat grinder battle, with inevitable casualties.
After carefully looking at the defense settings here, Ma Xiaoguang secretly took a breath. As expected, he must be careful to sail the ten thousand year ship. Don't underestimate every opponent. This is a gangster's dark den. The water is so deep. This time the opponent will see It's more difficult to deal with than last time.
Thinking of this, he took it easy as he came, took out his pen and paper, and drew down all the hidden sentries and defensive points of the opponent that he observed along the way. Before he knew it, more than half an hour had passed.
However, he saw that Fatty and Lao Li had both come back together. Neither of them looked very good, so they asked with concern: "Is something going on?"
"It's not that bad. It's just that it's difficult to sneak into this manor. We may have underestimated these gangsters." Lao Li said with some frustration.
"It seems that everyone is in the same situation. Let's draw down what we observed, and then we will make a long-term plan. Finding this place today is a big gain. Don't be greedy." Ma Xiaoguang comforted Lao Li.
Fatty and Lao Li drew down the peripheral warning settings they saw. Once the situation was summarized, it turned out to be a tightly defended peripheral position. Anyone with a little military knowledge would place heavy firepower at various key points, supplemented by terrain and fortifications. It was completely It can become an effective position to kill the enemy.
Seeing that it was getting late, the three of them went directly to No. 65 Hubei Road instead of returning to Chengxian Street.
This place has been converted into a safe house for the Special Operations Group.
It turned out that a utility room on the second floor was transformed into an equipment room. Ma Xiaoguang took out three sets of clothes from the cabinet and saw that the clothes were composed of four color blocks: brown, yellow, green and tan. A piece of graffiti that looks like a child's.
"What the hell is this?" Lao Li asked in confusion.
"This is camouflage uniform, the latest invention of the Italian Army. The camouflage effect in the field is much better than our military uniforms. Our brothers may be the first batch of national army to wear these clothes. We spent a lot of money." Ma Xiaoguang was a little proud. said.
This is the latest invention of this era. The camouflage effect is much better than the ordinary military uniforms and the night clothes of people in the world. It is also because Commander Ma has the knowledge of future generations and the blessing of the big yellow croaker, otherwise he would not be able to obtain these equipment.
Fortunately, these clothes are made according to European figures. Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li were a little fat after wearing them, and the fat man's clothes were just right except that they were a bit too long.
In addition, each person carries a special crossbow, which may not be effective at long distances, but may be miraculous at critical moments at night.
The pistols are two Browning M1900s per person, and there are also four grenades per person.
As Lao Li carried the equipment on his back, he praised: "Boss, you are really willing to spend money. These equipment are not cheap."
"Nonsense, the lives of our brothers are valuable. No amount of money can buy them." Boss Ma rolled his eyes and said. In his opinion, the most valuable things are these brothers. They are just the things outside the body of the big yellow croaker. Of course, the more things outside the body, the better. good.
Opening a wooden box, Lao Li stopped praising him this time and directly covered his mouth: "This is Thomson!"
"Yes, a Thompson M1928 portable machine gun." Boss Ma still recognized Lao Li's military qualities.
"This thing is great, better than the flower machine!" The fat man picked up an M1928 and played with it.
"Tonight, just in case, we all have one hand, but don't use guns unless absolutely necessary." Ma Xiaoguang ordered.
"Don't worry, boss, we won't have to." Lao Li agreed without hesitation, while helping the fat man hang equipment on his body.
"Bring less weapons. We are going for reconnaissance. Safety first. If the situation goes wrong, just come back." Ma Xiaoguang was afraid that the two elites would not be able to hold back and they would become the Garrison Death Squadron of the Republic of China. It would not be fun.
After spending a while, they dressed up neatly and called Xiao Lu to ask him to drive the three of them to the direction of Jiangjun Mountain.
When he saw the attire of the three people, Xiao Lu couldn't help being startled. Although the attire was a bit special, it was still within the scope of his knowledge. The key was that the camouflage painted on the faces of the three people made people look strange in the dark night. I was startled. When the light of the flashlight hit me, it looked like a bull's head and a horse's face, which was a bit scary.
Of course, as an agent, he also knew that the three bosses must have a special mission. He immediately asked the three of them to sit in the back seat and pulled up the tarpaulin. For fear of scaring the others, he used special passes to leave the city and rushed to the foot of General Mountain.
Under the cover of night, Ma Xiaoguang and the others slowly touched the periphery of the manor.
Different from the last time they visited the warehouse at night, this time the opponent's precautions were obviously different. The three decided to form a group and not go alone unless absolutely necessary - no one could guarantee that there were no hidden sentries at those commanding heights or no ambushes in the trenches. The first priority is to save lives. If there is a firefight, it is better to cooperate with more people.
According to the investigation, they did not infiltrate from the north, which was the most heavily defended. That would be a court of death. Instead, they chose the south. Because it was close to the cliff, the defense was less than that of the other three directions. As for the terrain, which was more dangerous, due to the equipment blessing, Ma Xiaoguang was For the three of them - it doesn't exist.
The three of them formed a triangular formation and searched forward in a roundabout way. Lao Li was in front, and Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty were separated behind Lao Li, taking turns to cover.
Due to the dangerous terrain here, the gang's manpower is not very sufficient. They just put a few open sentries at high places. It's not that there are no hidden sentries, but because of the special terrain here, it has been uninhabited for a long time, and the night is deep. Hidden sentries The guards were also sleepy and chatting all day long. They were used to being unfazed by disturbances, so the three of them passed through cautiously without any danger.
I climbed over the first outer ditch smoothly, but I saw a low wall in front of the castle wall of the villa not far away. It was only as high as my chest, but I didn't dare to climb over it rashly. If I climbed over, it would be a trap. Either the mechanism or the alarm device has been triggered, so tonight can only end here.
But for Lao Li, these were all minor problems. He relaxed his arms and leaped a few times, jumped to a tree, looked at the other side of the low wall through the dim light of the moon, observed carefully, and made sure After there was no problem, he gestured to Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty, and the two of them also dodged and climbed over the low wall.
Behind the low wall is an open space overgrown with weeds, and a few dozen meters later is the manor's fortress wall. Looking from a distance, there are faint shadows of people flashing on the fortress wall, which appear to be patrolling guards.
The three of them discussed briefly with hand gestures, and after carefully observing a few meters in front of them again, they still followed the triangle formation and used the most primitive and reliable way to advance under the moonlight when it was blocked by clouds - crawling close to the ground. , this can minimize the possibility of being discovered by guards, and also maximize the possibility of seeing whether there are traps, trip wires, etc. on the ground.
Just like this, slowly and carefully, the three of them arrived under the fort wall.
The fort wall is two people high, so it is not difficult to go up. It is easy to use a hook or a ladder. The key is that you will definitely be discovered by the guards after going up, which will be a bit troublesome.
Fortunately, everyone had done a preliminary investigation beforehand, and the three of them quietly walked along the foot of the fort wall to the northwest corner. There was a ditch with a water gate above it.
The water gate is usually used for drainage, with an iron fence blocking the inside and outside.
Seeing this finger-thick iron fence, Lao Li and Fatty were a little embarrassed. They could open it with a saw, but the movement was a little loud.
"Fat man, can you get some flavor?" Commander Ma suddenly asked.
"What does it smell like?" The fat man was a little confused.
"Fragrance, stink...anything is fine, as long as the smell is strong enough." Ma Xiaoguang explained.
"On this mountain, fragrance is not good, only stink is not easily exposed." Fatty is an expert at this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Ma took out three strange masks and ordered the two of them to put them on. This was a hood with a head and a face, only two eyes were exposed, and both eyes were covered by goggles. , the true face cannot be seen after wearing it, and the key is to cover the mouth and nose to avoid the irritating smell.
"Don't taste too much, just a little bit will be fine." Ma Xiaoguang said softly to the fat man.
Although he was puzzled, this was a task, so the fat man naturally obeyed. Soon a piece of something was thrown into the water, and a strange smell wafted out from the ditch.
At this time, Ma Xiaoguang saw that everyone was covered up. Ma Xiaoguang put on rubber gloves and took out a glass bottle tightly packed in a wooden box from his backpack.
Then there was a faint light, and Lao Li vaguely saw that there was a dark red liquid in the bottle. When Ma Xiaoguang opened the cork, a puff of white smoke floated around the mouth of the bottle. It looked a little mysterious and a little scary. Ma Xiaoguang was seen carefully. Pour the liquid from the bottle onto three iron fences, one horizontal, two vertical and three vertical. I saw white smoke coming out of the iron fence, and a smell wafted away. Of course, the fat man had done it in advance, and this smell It was well masked by the smell in the ditch.
In just a few minutes, the iron fence that had been doused with liquid was corroded and broken quickly!
"Water that transforms into gold?" The fat man knows his stuff, and he immediately called out the name of this thing - the scientific name of this thing is naturally the famous "Water Regia".
"Shh!" Ma Xiaoguang made a silencing gesture, then carefully put away the bottle, corked it and put it in a wooden box. However, he did not put it back into the bag. Instead, he dug a hole and buried the wooden box.
"Such a good thing was buried?" Lao Li was a little puzzled.
"This thing is easy to fail, and it is too dangerous to carry it with you. Don't try it easily in the future if you are not prepared! I specially used it to deal with Minato." Ma Xiaoguang explained quietly.
After a while, when the white smoke on the fence had evaporated, they got some water to wash the break. After making sure that everything was safe, the three of them quietly sneaked into the fort wall through the water gate.
