Chen Baoxiang didn't know what to do. He had never seen such a situation before. Gu Lanchun was like this. He was clearly looking forward to a good life, but he was bent on killing the Japanese, even risking his own life. He could be called a hero among women.
"Boss Chen, if we say goodbye today, we will say goodbye forever. If you treat me as a friend, then live a good life, kill the Japanese, and kill all the Japanese who step into Jinan and Shandong, leaving no one behind."
Chen Baoxiang felt a pain in his chest: "You don't have to be in a hurry. There are so many men outside. Resisting Japan is a man's business."
Gu Lanchun shook his head: "When the Japanese killed people, they never thought of killing only Chinese men, not Chinese women. In the battle of Nanjing's destruction of the city, how many people died at the hands of the Japanese, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses littered the fields. Killing Japanese never occurred to them.
It’s not a matter for men, but a matter for all Chinese people.”
There were two sounds of "papa", and Lian Chengbi clapped and walked out from the corridor.
"It is well said that killing the Japanese is the business of all Chinese. When I was training in the Southern Army, some officers in suits said boldly that the Japanese should be driven out of China. All the military uniform experts retorted on the spot, saying that they were not driving the Japanese out of China, but that they were driving the Japanese out of China.
Kill all these beasts without leaving a single one alive. These two sentences both talk about victory, but they have completely different meanings."
Chen Baoxiang nodded repeatedly, and when the whole family was destroyed in Luokou, he also swore that he would kill all the Japanese and not leave a single fish slipping through the net.
"You have expressed your feelings and have no regrets anymore, right?"
"Yes, Great Sect Master, it's rare to have a confidant in life. There are too few true men with love and righteousness like Boss Chen."
"Go ahead, we are soldiers. We are born in troubled times and have no choice. We must continue our relationship and wait for the next life!"
Gu Lanchun picked up the cotton robe on the wooden bench, slowly put it on, took a deep look at Chen Baoxiang, and disappeared into the corridor.
"Hey, hey..."
Chen Baoxiang raised his hand to catch Gu Lanchun, but in vain he stayed in the air.
He was not qualified to do this kind of thing. He needed money but no money, and he needed soldiers but no soldiers. He could not complete those things for Gu Lanchun. He could only watch her die alone.
"Boss Chen, you are always just a civilian. We, the southern soldiers, are the main force in killing the Japanese. Go back and live a good life. When the southern army comes back, finding opportunities to lead them will be your greatest contribution."
Chen Baoxiang stood up, suddenly the world started spinning, and he almost fell.
"What are you going to do?"
"What?"
"What are you going to do? What is Gu Lanchun going to do? As long as I can, I am willing to... die for her!"
In the excitement, Chen Baoxiang suddenly forgot everything, and the only sound in his ears was Gu Lanchun's singing.
"You can't do it, you're not a soldier, you don't know how to-"
Chen Baoxiang shouted: "I can do it, isn't it just a fried goods stand? Whatever Gu Lanchun does, I will do it for her."
He did not expect such a change. Gu Lanchun's song "The Drunken Concubine" disrupted his mind and completely lost his sense of direction.
"I never imagined that Gu Lanchun could have a friend like you, and that Jinan could have such a passionate man? Oh, you'd better go back, your family is waiting for you, go back!"
Chen Baoxiang suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery had all turned blood red.
He rubbed his eyes, and the redness became more intense.
That's why it's so bloody.
His eyes were already burning red with hot blood, and his internal organs were all burning and boiling.
"Okay, if you are really willing to stand up for Gu Lanchun, then I will tell you the next plan-"
At Wanhua Tower, after Hu Lingxiao died in the battle, another person arrived as Gu Lanchun's deputy, named Wen Dujuan.
They would sneak in through the drainage channel of the cargo platform and send six explosive packets and ten incendiary bombs into the utility room of the cargo platform to hide them.
"Wen Dujuan is good at sneaking. She will transport the weapons to the right place. The remaining tasks were originally assigned to Gu Lanchun. Now, if you are willing to take action, that would be great."
Lian Chengbi took out a detailed map of the cargo bay from his pocket. The attack route was clearly marked. The location of the utility room was very secluded and no one would be suspicious if he came in or out.
This attack seems simple, but in fact it is dangerous.
There are too many key links, and once you get stuck somewhere, your efforts will be in vain.
"After lighting the fuse of the explosive package, evacuate from the drainage channel. The peripheral reinforcements will snipe the Japanese who put out the fire from a distance and ensure that all the boxes are burned."
Chen Baoxiang carefully observed the map and found that the total length of the drainage channel was more than a hundred steps, running from south to north, all the way to the middle section of the northern drainage ditch of the railway, ensuring that even in heavy rain, the cargo platform would not be flooded.
On the infiltration route, there are three iron fences clearly marked, which must be cut to pass.
The drainage channel is seven feet below the ground. It is five feet high and four feet wide, and can only accommodate an adult bending down to pass through.
If the Japanese set up blockades at both ends of the drainage channel, anyone who gets in will die.
When workers enter the cargo platform, they also have to pass through three checkpoints.
In addition to body searches, wolves and dogs are also following them. If any unknown items are found on them, they will be taken away on the spot.
This map is very detailed and standardizes all possible situations.
Chen Baoxiang also saw that shooting groups were marked on the sixteen commanding heights on the periphery. No matter which way the Japanese pursued them, they would be blocked to ensure the safe retreat of the infiltration group.
"Boss Chen, these are all the secrets of Wanhualou's operation. After reading this, you can't quit."
Chen Baoxiang didn't want to quit at all. As long as he could keep Gu Lanchun alive, he was willing to die in pieces.
"Okay, I understand."
"Originally, Gu Lanchun disguised himself and sneaked into the cargo bay, obtained the explosive package from the utility room, and brought the explosive package out during the handover at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night and arranged it along the way. Now, this task is left to you——"
Lian Chengbi pointed at the map and pointed out the locations of the explosive packs one by one.
"After lighting the fuse, you only have a short time to jump into the ditch. Of course, as long as you enter it, you are safe. The rest will be much easier."
Chen Baoxiang looked at the map again, then closed his eyes and imprinted the map deeply in his mind.
"I remember everything!"
"Boss Chen, from this moment on, you are a member of Wanhualou. In the past ten years, there have been countless people who are willing to spend a lot of money on Gu Lanchun's behalf, but you are the first one who is willing to die for her."
Chen Baoxiang's mouth was full of bitterness and he clenched the branches of the wisteria tightly.
"With you alone, Gu Lanchun's life will not have been in vain."
Lian Chengbi sighed, slowly folded the map and put it in his pocket.
When Chen Baoxiang came out of the back door of Yuqian Cheongsam Shop, there was a gurgling stream in the small ditch next to it, which was all the good water overflowing from Furong Spring.
He slowly squatted down, picked up the spring water, and took a big sip.
The spring water is so cold that it feels like ice when it enters the throat.
He trembled all over and calmed down.
"I will die for Gu Lanchun without any hesitation!"
This is the oath he swore in front of Liancheng Bi. It is resounding and cannot be changed.
"Live well and kill the Japanese -"
He took a deep breath and thought about the drawing again.
If we follow the drawings exactly, we will be able to blow up the wooden boxes on the cargo platform, put an end to the Japanese gas bomb plan, completely save Jinan, and save the people in the south.
He held the spring water, washed his face, and returned to the rice shop.
Along the way, the drum beats of "The Drunken Concubine" were played under his feet. Even if Da Qingyi didn't put on makeup or change her outfit, she could still portray Yang Guifei's charm and charm vividly and vividly, which made Chen Baoxiang fall in love.
Returning to the rice shop, Liu Yue'e took out the bedding from the box in the north room and dried it on the rope in the courtyard.
"Master, we don't want these old quilts anymore. We can buy them again when we get to the Grand View Garden. Do you think it's okay?"
Chen Baoxiang nodded numbly and ducked into the north room.
After igniting the explosive package, jump into the drainage ditch. The time interval is too small. If you hesitate for a moment, you will be caught in the sea of fire and shattered to pieces.
He recalled that when he was young, he would tie sandbags to his calves and run along the old city wall to exercise his physical strength and endurance.
Only extreme reaction speed can escape death.
Liu Yue'e came in and tidied up the kang mat quickly.
"Chuan Wen and Chuan Wu said that they have told their bosses in the past few days that they are ready to resign. They also hope that we can open a restaurant, live an upright life, and become a person of status in Jinan, like those rich people in the commercial area..."
"No, I can't resign for the time being. Let them wait, and wait!"
Chen Baoxiang woke up as if from a dream, and his consciousness gradually returned.
What he wanted to do would probably make him unable to come back once he left. The Grand View Garden Hotel also turned into a dream.
"What?"
"Let them work hard and don't go around saying that our family is going to open a restaurant. Work hard and don't talk too much."
Chen Baoxiang could not tell Liu Yue'e the inside story. If he died for Gu Lanchun, he would be putting the lives of his whole family at risk.
He is now lucky. If he can come back from the cargo bay alive, he will never take risks for others again.
Now that he has promised to build the Wanhua Tower, it is too late to back down.
"Okay, okay."
Liu Yue'e didn't understand, but she still nodded in agreement.
All day long, Chen Baoxiang seemed to be sleepwalking.
He was lying on the bed, with the map of Lianchengbi floating in his mind over and over again.
He didn't get up until Chuanwen and Chuanwu finished work, called Chuanwen into the store, and asked carefully about the situation on the goods counter.
"When I go to work in the morning, the police are very strict. Everyone has to take off their shoes for fear of hiding something inside. When working, no one can walk around casually. Which wagon is assigned to be unloaded, and must follow the command of the leader.
Enter the carriage, move things, and put them in the designated place. After moving a carriage, return to the resting place, sit down on the spot, and cannot move around..."
"Where are the wolfdogs? Are they only at the door or also on the shelves?"
"Not necessarily. In the morning and afternoon, someone would lead a wolf dog around to watch out for anyone sneaking in. The wolf dog would circle around the goods platform, then go to the place where the boxes are stacked, go up and down, and smell it carefully. Last time someone took advantage of it
The box was damaged, and a pistol was stolen, wrapped in a towel, and hidden in the corner of the box. It was discovered by the wolfdog."
“Are we still recruiting new workers for the goods counter?”
"Of course, Dad, I listen to you. No matter how you ask the boss, I say there is no one to recruit."
Chen Baoxiang asked about the drainage ditch again, and passed on the article and sighed: "The Japanese are so smart. They dug a new drainage ditch at the train station. I heard from the boss that the Germans used to have very short drainage ditches, only under the waiting room, for goods.
There is no platform at all. After the Japanese came, they built drainage ditches first. No matter how heavy the rain was, there was no water on the cargo platform. In the past three years, there has never been an accident in which goods were flooded."
Chen Baoxiang asked while planning how to enter and how to exit.
He had to be very fast, jump into the drainage ditch, and leave the cargo platform without stopping, so that he could escape intact.
