When he found that Chief Ma was missing, Xiao Lu didn't make any move. He just lightly tapped the fat man twice with the wine bottle.
"Hey! This thing of yours is stale... Look at the fat sausage and what's on it... It's so disgusting!"
The fat man picked up a piece of large intestine with chopsticks and yelled at the cooked food stall owner.
There was indeed a lump of indescribable stuff on top of the large intestine, which looked really disgusting.
When passers-by saw it, they all looked sideways, saying that the cooked food stall owner was wrong...
For a time, the cooked food stall became the focus of everyone's attention in this area.
The result of some arguments and bargaining was that the cooked food stall owner couldn't afford to offend him, so he packed up his things and left angrily.
"Fat Master, is there something wrong with us doing this? I don't think the cooked food stall owner looks like a spy..."
Xiao Lu whispered to the fat man with a ruffian smile.
"Come on, brother, I was helping him. I wanted other people to extort money from him. I just had a few quarrels with him and asked him to leave."
"I might be able to do it later, but it's better to have no money than to lose my life!"
The fat man turned his head, put away his smile, covered his mouth and said to Xiao Lu.
"Did you notice the small shop diagonally opposite the advertising column?"
Fatty asked Xiao Lu quietly.
"I saw it. The shop owner was absent-minded and didn't introduce things to the customers seriously. He was probably an observation post!"
Xiao Lu replied in a alert voice.
"Yes, the boss must have seen it, and I guess there must be more observation posts and warning posts here... Don't look up! We can only move forward now."
The fat man lowered his voice and said.
After the two reached an agreement, the fat man raised his voice, cursed and continued walking along the lane toward the Ninth Cotton Mill.
The lane becomes narrower and narrower as you walk, with more and more forked roads, like a maze.
The outer wall of the Ninth Cotton Mill is clearly in the distance, but it goes around and around in the residential area here, and never reaches the factory area...
"These devils will find a place! If they want to lay an ambush, this is a good place."
When they reached a deserted place, the fat man spat at Xiao Lu as he walked.
Before he finished speaking, he saw a figure flashing out of an extremely narrow fork in the road, with fierce eyes, and he rushed towards him.
The fat man had excellent eyesight and his reaction was not slow. He stood over in a flash, sandwiching this person in the middle with Xiao Lu.
When Xiao Lu saw the fat man moving, he struck out like lightning and suddenly whipped out a sharp knife from his sleeve.
Before the other party could speak, Xiao Lu moved, and with a flash of light, the knife pierced into the opponent's vital part with a "pop" sound.
The fat man cooperated very well. First, he covered the other person's mouth with his left hand, so that the other person could not make any sound...
At the same time, the fat man's right hand took out a dirty rag and covered it with the knife.
"This is just the beginning, we can't let blood splatter all over us!"
Fatty said to Xiao Lu half-jokingly.
As he spoke, red blood gurgled down the rag.
"The fat man is right, pour some wine to cover up the smell of blood, and then put this man on the side of the road and pretend to be a drunk..."
At this time, Ma Xiaoguang's words rang in Xiao Lu's ears.
I turned around and saw that it was indeed Commander Ma.
At some point, he had already circled behind the two of them and walked over from behind in a leisurely manner.
"Everyone, get ready for battle. Even if you are pretending, you can't pretend for long. There is another one in the alley over there, but I have already taken care of it."
"We try our best to hurry up and get under the outer wall of the cotton mill before the enemy's large group comes over."
As Ma Xiaoguang spoke, he took out the short knife he carried with him, held it in his hand, and found a newspaper to cover it up.
"Xiao Lu uses a gun, Fatty and I use knives, pay attention to the distance before and after, and everyone needs to cooperate."
Ma Xiaoguang then ordered.
The three of them dealt with the killed enemy agents and continued walking along the lane, heading towards the cotton mill.
After walking for another ten minutes, we reached under the outer wall of the cotton mill.
On the way, they almost encountered a mobile sentry patrolling by enemy agents, but the three of them were still alert and cleverly avoided it without taking action again.
But walking through it like this hide-and-seek is really confusing.
"Phew...the devil is a bit prickly this time!"
The fat man couldn't help but sigh as he leaned against the wall.
"Fortunately, it's night now, and the opponent's high-altitude observation post has limited vision. Otherwise, it's hard to say. Maybe the same situation will happen again during the day."
"If this is the case, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as I was during the day."
Ma Xiaoguang gritted his teeth and said, which was regarded as acknowledging and supplementing the fat man's statement.
"Then shall we continue?"
Xiao Lu couldn't help but ask.
"I've touched it all the way here. If I don't go in and take a look, I'd be sorry for the hard work along the way."
The fat man blinked his eyes this time and said bitterly.
"Yes! You must go in, but before going in, let's take a look at the sentries outside." Ma Xiaoguang said.
Having said that, the three of them did not continue to talk nonsense, but divided into two groups to investigate along the outer wall before determining from which location to sneak into the Ninth Cotton Mill.
Forty minutes later, it was getting darker, and the three of them returned to the same place.
"The perimeter of this cotton mill is pentagonal. One side is the side we came from. There are observation towers inside and outside. There are probably gunmen inside, so we can't go this way..."
"There are two sides. One side is a flour mill. It looks fine, but the roof on the other side of the flour mill is at a higher point. That flour mill also belongs to the Japanese."
"The other side is not as high, but it is close to the road..."
"There is another side that is close to the Suzhou River and cannot be accessed. There is only the remaining side. Next to it is a machine factory. It seems to be from Romantic China. It is four meters away from the cotton factory."
Xiao Lu took out a piece of paper, pointed to the simple-drawn terrain map on it, and described the surveyed terrain to Ma Xiaoguang.
Ma Xiaoguang pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that we have to take a detour, advance to the machine factory, and then find a way to sneak into the cotton factory. This is the best."
This method was unanimously approved by Fatty and Xiao Lu. If you climb the wall directly, the chance of exposure is too high and it is indeed too dangerous.
The three of them walked along the outer wall, and after more than ten minutes, they reached the machine factory.
The wall of the machine factory is shorter than here, with a narrow road of about four meters in between.
The machine factory is an ordinary machine factory. It is responsible for repairing and repairing machines in nearby factories. It is already off work, and only the night watchers are left in the factory area.
Entering this almost undefended factory was not difficult for the three agents. They carefully climbed over the wall next to the gate, avoiding the night watch inspections, and quickly reached the wall next to the cotton factory.
"Boss, how do we get there?"
Xiao Lu asked Ma Xiaoguang quietly.
"Climb over."
Ma Xiaoguang replied softly.
"Climb over?" Xiao Lu was a little confused.
"What the boss means is to put ladders on the walls on both sides and climb over."
The fat man added helpfully.
"Yes! This is the fastest way!"
Ma Xiaoguang nodded and said, raising his hand slightly and pointing to the utility room not far away.
Xiao Lu and Fatty went over and quickly carried a long bamboo ladder over.
"That's about it. I'll go up first, and then you can pass the bamboo ladder up."
As he spoke, Ma Xiaoguang took out the flying tiger claw and rope, and raised his hand to put on the wall of the machine factory.
Moving like a rabbit, Ma Xiaoguang climbed up the wall of the machine factory with three moves.
I leaned on the wall and observed. This place was just under the dark shadow of the opponent's high wall and in the blind spot of the opponent's observation post. It was a good place to sneak in.
The ladder was quickly brought up, and Ma Xiaoguang worked hard to set up the ladder on both sides of the wall.
The moment he put down the bamboo ladder, Ma Xiaoguang felt a little sore in his arm.
The ladder is not very heavy and can be carried by one person. The problem is that when building a bamboo ladder, you hold one end, which is equivalent to the short side of the lever. The torque on the long side is several times greater.
But finally, with luck, the ladder was finally set up.
Without this thing, it would be too difficult for three people to climb over the wall silently! Basically impossible!
Ma Xiaoguang asked himself if he didn't have the skills of the legendary hero Rich Man - he could jump seven or eight meters away from a standing position, and he could walk over walls and walls as if he were walking on flat ground.
If that's the case, why go to all this trouble? He jumped up to the top of the wall, and then killed the sentry silently with a burst of flying knives.
Or just break through the door, output firepower, and kill those melon skins...
Of course these can only be imagined.
After saying hello, Fatty and Xiao Lu also climbed up on the rope.
Seeing that his companions were already in place, Ma Xiaoguang found the opportunity and quickly climbed up the bamboo ladder to the wall of the cotton mill.
Leaning on the wall, he gave the two of them a safe gesture, and Fatty and Xiao Lu followed them cautiously.
The three of them leaned down on the wall and waited for about half a minute. When they found no danger, they prepared to jump.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoguang raised his hand to stop everyone.
He pointed at the bamboo ladders still erected on the walls on both sides.
It was impossible to continue pretending at this special moment. Ma Xiaoguang raised his hand vigorously, and one end of the bamboo ladder was lifted. The balance was broken, and the high end fell down.
When Xiao Lu saw it, he almost screamed out in fright. The ladder was about to fall to the ground, and the noise was huge. Didn't this alert the enemy?
But I saw that the ladder drew an arc and was slowly raised with the wall of the machine factory as the fulcrum - it turned out that Ma Xiaoguang had already tied this end with a rope!
Seeing this, Xiao Lu and Fatty also took the end of the rope. The three of them worked together to lift the long end of the ladder, and then slowly lifted it up...
Suddenly, Ma Xiaoguang shook his hand, and the ladder was raised a lot. With a strong hand, the ladder slowly slid down the opposite wall.
After a while, when he was sure that the bamboo ladder had touched the ground, Ma Xiaoguang shook his hand, the buckle on the ladder was loosened, and the rope returned to his hand.
The bamboo ladder landed safely, and the three of them felt a little at ease. After confirming their safety, they slowly climbed the rope to the foot of the high wall of the cotton mill.
After landing, Ma Xiaoguang took a closer look at the situation inside the high wall with the help of some dim light. It was okay not to look at it, but when he looked at it, he took a breath of cold air.
