Chen Baoxiang had never worked as a laborer. Others introduced Chuanwen and Chuanwu to work on the goods counter. He only regarded it as a stopgap measure to let the two children work hard and see the world. He would never continue to work for a long time.
.
Cutting off the head is an old rule in the past.
At that time, Chief Han, it was common practice to draw one, and it was rare to draw two, let alone to blatantly draw three.
"Brother, go ahead and say it. You can say it for all of us!"
"Brother, you said that the foreman would take less money from us and treat you to a drink."
"Go ahead, go ahead, as long as you can hold your head high and your hands high, we'll treat you to a drink..."
Chen Baoxiang also shouted a few words, but his eyes were fixed on the Japanese to the west.
The translator pointed fingers and ordered his head to lift the canvas.
The boxes are written in Japanese, and on the corners of each box is a symbol of a skull and three bones.
"Speed up, stack the boxes here, leave a passage, trucks can come and take them away at any time. Other goods are stacked separately, don't get close to these, stay away. Remember? Watch your people carefully, move with care,
You’re not allowed to break even a little bit, do you understand?”
The translator spoke into the leader's ear, and Chen Baoxiang basically understood what he was talking about by looking at his mouth shape.
Other laborers only care about wages. As for what the Japanese come to do, they have no business.
The Japanese walked around the pile of boxes a few times with a smile on his face.
One of them pointed to the southwest and said a few words, and several people laughed together.
"Yes, Mr. Nakamura is right. The location is the most suitable. Construction is underway and everything will go smoothly."
The words of the translator can prove the content of the Japanese conversation.
Chen Baoxiang speculated that they were talking about box transportation, equipment placement, and future development.
The skull and bones are a common symbol of poisonous danger.
With this symbol on the box, it obviously means that the contents inside are poisonous and should not be approached at will.
Chen Baoxiang observed very carefully, because he had long thought that the boxes bombed last time and this time were Japanese boxes, and it was impossible to blow up the station.
The better you understand the terrain here, the easier it will be to kill accurately.
After the Japanese left, the carriage drove over.
After the leader gave the order, each group of workers entered the carriage to work according to their numbers.
Chen Baoxiang was in the third group and entered the No. 3 carriage.
What should be loaded here is an ammunition box. Although it is only three feet long, two feet wide and one foot high, it is filled with iron objects. It is still very difficult for two laborers to lift a box.
During the round trip, Chen Baoxiang noticed that the boxes on wagons No. 1 and 2 were all marked with skulls, so he moved them directly over and put them together with those boxes.
This type of box was the focus of Lian Chengbi's "care". What Gu Lanchun asked Chen Baoxiang to practice was to place explosive packs and incendiary bombs on this pile of boxes in order.
The previous demonstration on the map didn't feel complicated. As long as you were fast enough, you could successfully complete the task and escape.
When we arrived at the scene, we saw that the problem was too big.
There is a wooden bucket at each corner of the cargo platform, which is almost two feet high.
There is one person standing guard inside, and two people below are responding.
The four Diao Dou controlled the situation. The Japanese soldiers standing guard held the 38-meter Gai in their hands and could shoot with their guns in an instant.
Any disturbance on the goods platform will not escape their eyes.
If you want to assassinate the sentry at close range, you must first kill the two guards below. Moreover, the four Diao Dou are watching each other. Only by killing the four sentries at the same time can all the Japs not be alerted.
Therefore, Chen Baoxiang is facing an impossible task.
He couldn't complete the task assigned by Liancheng Bi in full public view.
"There must be something wrong with the map. It didn't list the problem of fighting. It's too troublesome. As long as I make a move, they will shoot. Even if everything goes well, I can jump into the drainage channel and they will chase me, but I can't run away!
"
In the process of moving the boxes, Chen Baoxiang calculated the route again and again and rejected it again and again.
Finally, he saw clearly that this was a dead end.
The plan to blow up the cargo platform with explosives and incendiary bombs was not established from the beginning.
Unless the perimeter snipers use precise force to clear out the four cunning sentries before the operation begins, leaving none behind.
There are not many commanding heights around the cargo platform.
Even the possible hiding places of the responders that Chengbi had mentioned were five hundred steps away, so the assistance in the cargo bay was better than nothing.
After the first round of wagons was unloaded, Chen Baoxiang followed three more groups and entered the seventh carriage.
The Japanese have a strong ammunition production capacity. There are more than 600 boxes in one carriage and they are transported to the battlefield. How many Chinese will be killed?
Chen Baoxiang thought a lot, but remained calm on the surface, just observing silently.
When it was lunch time, the cook at the counter pushed the cart in and handed out four cornmeal buns and a pickle to each person. In the big pot next to him was boiling hot polenta.
The laborers ate in silence. After working all morning, they were all tired.
After eating, they sat on the floor leaning against the box.
Chen Baoxiang was in despair. Lian Chengbi's plan could not be carried out, and he could not even get close to the utility room.
When working, all laborers are in the carriages and the goods piles are walking in one line, and they will not go to other places. Anyone who leaves will be seen by the sentry on the Diao Dou.
All Chen Baoxiang can do is to find an opportunity when the shift changes at night.
He has measured that even at night, when the searchlight next to him is on, it is quite difficult to fish in troubled waters.
After a short rest, he turned his head and started working again.
After working until dusk, a train of trains was finally moved, and the empty trains left westward along the railroad tracks.
"Everyone, take action, there is another train coming tonight, but the cargo is very small, there are only eight carriages. Don't worry, everyone, when it's time to change shifts, it won't delay everyone going back to sleep, hehehehe..."
"Damn it, smoke two and three, I'm here to make money, it's okay if you sleep or not, you can't smoke too much, I'll feel unhappy..."
In the labor force group, someone muttered.
"Who? Who is talking? Stand up!"
Annoyed, he pulled out the cowhide whip from his belt with his backhand, flicked his right arm, and made a loud and crisp whip with a snap.
"Whoever is not convinced, stand up and speak to me carefully——"
When the laborers saw the whip, they all became silent.
"Don't be dissatisfied. The Japanese give you the opportunity to make money, but they still take care of two meals a day. How can there be such a good place in Jinan? What's the matter with the two? If something happens to you, I have to negotiate with the Japanese. You all have to pay for your wages.
, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandma and the Japanese to come..."
Chen Baoxiang was tired and didn't want to listen to his nagging. He took a few steps back and stood at the back of the team, closing his eyes and taking a nap.
"Whoever is dissatisfied, just tell me alone and don't talk nonsense. Don't think I don't know. Those of you who live in Diwozi, do you think they have worked in Qingdao or Tianjin Wei, traveled all over the country, and are well-informed? Let me tell you.
Well, Jinan is the big dock. When you get here, you have to abide by the rules of Jinan. Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning your back on others!"
Chen Baoxiang sneered in his heart: "Jinan rules? In any business in Jinan in the past, one slap on the head was enough to reach the sky, and no more. This two and three strokes are the skin-picking rules, not Jinan rules. What are Jinan rules? Give up first.
Only when laborers have enough food and good health can they work and make money. Hello to you, hello to me, hello to everyone - this is the rule of Jinan."
People in Jinan all know the rules and abide by them, but when the Japanese came, the city was broken, and so were the rules.
