Although Tangcheng has been exposed, the cargo yard is really too chaotic. The Japanese troops chasing Tangcheng quickly lost traces of Tangcheng. The fire in the cargo yard will be impossible to extinguish for a while.
The Japanese army could only concentrate their manpower and evacuate the materials close to the fire in advance. Tangcheng took advantage of this moment to quietly leave the goods yard and went straight to other warehouses guarded by the Japanese troops at the dock. Because of the fire, many of the Japanese troops stationed at the dock were
Some of them went to the goods yard to help, but the guards guarding the important warehouses were still left in place.
This place had long been expropriated by the Japanese army in Shanghai as a military dock, so Tang Cheng judged that there should be more than one place to store oil. Tang Cheng, who had been careful to avoid the Japanese army, began to wander around in the dock. After about a quarter of an hour, Tang Cheng
Cheng appeared at the back of a warehouse. When he discovered that there was a patrol here, Tang Cheng was moved and immediately walked around the warehouse. Seeing two guards standing outside the main entrance of the warehouse, Tang Cheng felt that he might have found a key part.
, otherwise there would be no guards or patrols here.
The two Japanese guards guarding the main entrance of the warehouse did not find Tang Cheng hiding in the dark. After Tang Cheng confirmed his previous suspicion, he quickly detoured to the back of the warehouse. Tang Cheng planned to use the previous method.
He used his spare equipment bag to cut a hole in the wall at the back of the warehouse. But before he could find a place to start, he suddenly heard footsteps not far away. Tang Cheng hurriedly lowered his figure and followed the steps.
Move quickly eastward along the back wall of the warehouse.
Just after leaving the back wall of the warehouse in Tangcheng, a group of Japanese patrols appeared here. The leader of the Japanese army commander was obviously very responsible. Not only did he shine a flashlight on the back wall of the warehouse, he also took a look at it.
The eaves of the warehouse. After making sure that there was no abnormality here, he led his patrol soldiers and walked south along the back wall of the warehouse. Hidden in the dark, Tang Cheng wanted to return to the back wall of the warehouse, but he couldn't
Footsteps were heard.
Because of the fire in the cargo yard, the Japanese troops stationed at the docks intensified their patrols, especially in these important warehouses that were closely guarded by the Japanese troops. They doubled the patrol force. Fortunately, Tangcheng could endure it and waited for the second appearance.
After the patrol left, he quickly returned to the back wall of the warehouse and used his equipment bag to cut a large hole in the wall. Like the previous arms warehouse, there was no one on duty in this warehouse and he got into the warehouse through the hole in the wall.
Tangcheng, immediately turned around and blocked the hole in the wall.
This warehouse was obviously much smaller than the previous arms warehouse, but there were quite a few boxes stacked. Tang
Cheng carefully pried open a box next to the wall, only to find that the box was filled with bullets. Unwilling to give up, Tang Cheng pried open several boxes in succession, but the result was similar to what Tang Cheng expected. These boxes were filled with bullets.
Ammunition. Since they are something that you cannot use, destroy them to make the Japanese suffer even more. Tang Cheng, who did not dare to waste time, immediately began to arrange explosives and triggering devices in this warehouse.
The dock was noisy and full of Japanese soldiers and dock workers helping to transport the wounded. Tangcheng took this opportunity to place explosives and triggering devices in many warehouses. The Japanese troops on the dock had no time to pay attention to other people.
Before the fire in the goods yard was extinguished, they had no idea that something had happened to the tightly guarded warehouses. The explosives and grenades that Tang Cheng had collected earlier had been used by him, and there was not much left. Looking at the time,
It was almost done, Tang Cheng took advantage of the chaos and left the dock.
The Xinya Hotel was naturally safe. He ran all the way to get back to Tangcheng in the Xinya Hotel before it got light. He managed not to sleep because he was waiting for a more lively situation to appear. After washing, Tang was only wearing pajamas.
City, with nothing to do, he simply sat cross-legged on the bed and began to wipe and maintain his weapons. Time passed by, until it was dark outside, and it was almost past breakfast time, and there was a violent explosion outside the window.
Voice.
There was a loud bang, and Tang Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, felt that the hotel room was shaking. He immediately jumped off the bed with secret joy in his heart, walked directly to the window, and looked in the direction of the dock.
Sure enough, a huge plume of smoke had risen in the direction of the pier. Tang Cheng looked carefully at the moment. According to the shape and size of the plume of smoke, the explosion must have been huge. Tang Cheng, who chuckled softly, immediately put away the weapons on the bed.
parts, changed my clothes and went downstairs to eat.
Tang Cheng went downstairs to have breakfast. It seemed normal, but in fact he was inquiring about news. There was a big explosion in the direction of the pier, and the huge plume of smoke that rose after the explosion was heard and seen by many guests in the New Asia Hotel. Tang Cheng came downstairs.
When arriving at the hotel restaurant, many guests who had breakfast here were talking about the explosion just now. Tang Cheng found a table and sat down, and then quietly listened to the food while having breakfast.
Guests’ comments.
Someone with knowledge has already guessed at this time that the place where the explosion occurred should be the military dock controlled by the Japanese army in Shanghai. And judging from the sound of the explosion and the size of the smoke column, the explosion may have been the weapons and ammunition that the Japanese army in Shanghai had hoarded at the dock.
.At this time, someone with better information immediately spoke. The speaker directly lowered his voice and told the news that a fire broke out at the pier last night. First there was a fire, and then there was a sudden explosion. These smart people who were talking in low voices said
The people looked at each other and immediately ended the topic.
The smart people were very obedient and stopped talking about the topic just now, because they all knew that fires and explosions would never happen for no reason at the pier in Shanghai, which was strictly controlled by the Japanese army. Since it was not for no reason, there was only one explanation, no matter what
Whether it was the fire last night or the big explosion just now, it was all caused by someone attacking the dock. Attacking the military dock was the enemy of the Japanese army in Shanghai. If their discussion just now was overheard by plainclothes agents, they might be arrested by the secret service.
Charged with a ridiculous charge.
Although no useful information was found in the restaurant, Tang Cheng, who had finished breakfast hastily, followed the crowd and went directly back to the room to rest. "Boom!" Tang Cheng, who had eaten and drank enough, got on the boat.
, there was another explosion on the other side of the pier, and looking at the smoke column rising this time, the scale of the explosion was also not small. There were people standing behind all the windows of the New Asia Hotel that could see the direction of the pier, and everyone was separated from them.
He looked out the window and silently watched the huge plume of smoke rising in the direction of the pier.
Taro Murakami, an officer of the Young Forces, had long forgotten that he was a major officer at this moment. With his face covered in black and gray, he was assisting two military policemen to rescue the corps commander whose lower body was pinned down from under a pile of rubble and masonry.
When the explosion occurred just now, Taro Murakami was not here. Taro Murakami, who had been busy in the goods yard all night, was only in the duty room to hand over to his shift companions in the duty room according to the duty schedule. The explosion occurred so suddenly that even Murakami, including Taro Murakami,
Many people included were unprepared.
When the explosion sounded, all the window glass in the duty room was shattered immediately. Taro Murakami, who was about to light a cigarette, was knocked over by the air wave pushed along by the heat wave.
After the heat wave dissipated, Taro Murakami, who was dizzy after being thrown, carefully got up from the ground. Looking through the deformed duty room
Through the window, Taro Murakami, who had not yet fully recovered, could clearly see the huge plume of smoke rising not far away.
Taro Murakami, who was transferred to Shanghai to guard the dock because he was injured on the front line, is now secretly glad that the duty room is some distance away from the place where the explosion occurred, otherwise he might have died in the impact of the air wave after the explosion. He was helped from the ground
The companions who got up, Taro Murakami and others came out of the duty room and staggered all the way to the outside of the warehouse where the explosion occurred. Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Taro Murakami's scalp went numb. The roof of the warehouse had been completely lifted, and there were everywhere
Not only was it full of rubble and masonry, but there were also quite a few corpses lying around.
Taro Murakami and others were now aware of the importance of the problem. After discussing in low voices, they decided to send one person to look for a phone outside the pier and report the situation to the military police headquarters. The remaining people immediately organized manpower to search at the explosion site.
Rescue the survivors. "Boom, boom..." Before the officer who was sent to make the call had gone far, another huge explosion sounded from the northeast corner of the pier. Taro Murakami and others who could not stand firmly fell to the ground.
I saw a column of smoke rising.
Seeing the smoke column rising again, Taro Murakami, who fell to the ground, did not immediately turn over and get up, but looked panicked and at a loss. There was a fire in the dock cargo yard last night, and some people said that there were attackers attacking the fire.
Imperial soldiers. The Military Police Command sent people to the fire scene to investigate the cause of the fire, but no traces of the attackers were ever found. The reason why Murakami Taro was in a hurry to hand over his shift was to avoid getting involved in this trouble.
But he had calculated everything, but he never expected that a big explosion occurred in the dock just after his shift started, and the place where the explosion occurred was the arms warehouse. As the officer on duty last night, Taro Murakami wanted to get rid of yesterday
To solve the trouble at night, before the explosion in the arms warehouse, we could still think of a solution. But it is different now. When the arms warehouse exploded, the responsibility would be greater. Taro Murakami was not sure whether he would take action due to his connections.
Help yourself.
The second explosion that just occurred really destroyed Taro Murakami's luck, because he knew that a batch of oil had been temporarily stored at the northeast corner of the pier. Arms and oil were the top priority, and they both needed to be paid close attention to by officers on duty.
content, but now, explosions occurred one after another in the arms warehouse and oil area. At this moment, Taro Murakami, who looked pale, felt that his unlucky time had finally arrived.
