Chapter 14 Chapter 13 Comrades who went to study in the Soviet Union
Lin Sen smiled miserably, held Liu Chuang's hand tightly, and said with great pain, "Brother, death must be worthwhile. Just now we fought here for the comrades who went to the Soviet Union. Now our wounded stay behind." Here, it is also for comrades... Remember, sacrifice for comrades is worthy of death! When one day, you are also faced with such a choice...you will definitely do the same!"
"Don't wait for the members of the Wuchang guerrillas? Didn't you say that we will meet here and act together?"
"They have other arrangements. The task of escorting the comrades to the Soviet Union will be completed by you independently."
"What about you?" Liu Chuang asked puzzled.
"I have something else to do, so I have to borrow your sniper rifle first." Lin Sen smiled and quickly changed the subject.
Liu Chuang's big eyeballs shook a few times, and his head followed suit. "Old Lin, something is wrong. You must be hiding something from me! Tell me quickly what happened? Otherwise, Xu Congliang wouldn't have told me before leaving."
"What did he say?" Lin Sen looked at his watch again.
"He asked me to be by your side at all times to protect your safety."
Lin Sen sighed, pulled Liu Chuang aside, and said in a low voice, "The devils have already got some information, and they have set up a net near Mao'er Mountain, waiting for us to drill, so our plan has also changed. The east side of Maoer Mountain carried out a surprise attack on the devil's garrison to attract the devil's troops, and the comrades who went to the Soviet Union passed through from the west side of Maoer Mountain. As long as you know about this, don't do it to the brothers of the wooden gang. Said, less than an hour away from the battle over there, I have to rush there immediately!"
Liu Chuang didn't open his mouth, as if he suddenly changed into a different person, he looked at Lin Sen calmly for a few times, and then slowly shook his head: "I have always admired Boss Lin for your kindness, boldness, and righteousness, but you don't know what to do with this matter. You are not authentic. You handed over the blood and sweat to the guerrillas and let our wooden gang sneak away. Are you looking down on our wooden gang? I understand that you are doing it for the sake of our brothers, and you are afraid that we will sacrifice, but this It’s not about anything else, it’s about beating devils! Don’t say I won’t agree to your arrangement, none of the hundred or so brothers I brought can agree!”
Just as Lin Sen was about to explain, Liu Chuang had already called Big Sun and Big Cigarette Pot over with a wave of his hand. "Cigarette pot, you take fifty comrades who are familiar with the way here and wait for their comrades, and then take them away according to the agreed route. Big man, you take the rest of the brothers, remember, you must have good marksmanship, Set off with me and Lao Lin!"
After the confession, Liu Chuang threw the sniper rifle in Lin Sen's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't you want this gun? Well, just take it, but you have to take my brothers with you. In Jinsheng Garden You are the boss, but here, the brothers all listen to me!"
Lin Sen had no choice. He saw that there was not much time left, and further arguing would only waste time, so he nodded in agreement.In a short while, Big Sun had already selected the people. At this time, the sky was already dark, and only half of the body was left in the setting sun. There was not even a ray of sunlight in the dense forest, and it was almost completely shrouded in darkness.Lin Sen put the sniper rifle on his shoulder and ordered in a low voice: "We are rushing to reinforce, and we can't delay anything on the way. If anyone sprains his feet or bumps and bumps, he will return right away, everyone will understand. No?"
In the darkness, dozens of black shadows nodded their heads heavily, and then followed Lin Sen and Liu Chuang as they sprinted along the rugged mountain road.
After nearly an hour, Lin Sen stopped in front of a stream near the mountainside.One side of the stream is covered with black thorns and shrubs as high as half a person, and the other side of the stream slides slowly down the mountain, facing a watchtower several hundred meters away.There seemed to be an open field outside the watchtower, but it couldn't be seen clearly in the dark.
"Where is this?" Liu Chuang asked in a low voice, wiping off his sweat.
"The place where we meet with the Wuchang guerrillas."
"No, I'm asking there." Liu Chuang pointed to the watchtower in the distance.
"Nearby is a train transfer station passing through Mao'er Mountain. Although it is not big, its location is very important, so the devil set up a watchtower here, and there is a small team nearby."
"We want to make an ambush here? Attract all the troops that the devils set up on the other side of the mountain." Liu Chuang asked excitedly.
"Yes, but the time is urgent and we have no time to build the fortifications. Fortunately, here is condescending and the terrain is hidden. You tell everyone to find a hiding place. When the comrades of the guerrillas arrive, we will start attacking. Remember that your task is to cover , the raids are in the charge of the guerrilla comrades.”
Liu Chuang got the order and hurriedly divided up the arrangement.Lin Sen lay on the ground and listened quietly. After a while, he heard some faint noises. He hurriedly gestured to the crowd, urging everyone to be careful, and then ran to the other side of the creek with a low waist.
Liu Chuang's eyes widened, and his gaze was fixed on Lin Sen's back until he disappeared into the darkness before he turned back to a brother with a dirty face and said, "Lin Sen took my gun and used it, you Give me that sniper rifle!"
In the darkness came two strange laughs of "hey hey": "You kid is dreaming, I won't give this gun even if the king of heaven comes, so you can obediently use that 38 big cover!"
Liu Chuang was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he lowered his voice and said fiercely, "If I had known you were so stingy, I wouldn't have brought you here!"
"Why am I being stingy? Tell me again, I will give this box of bombs to Big Sun!"
As soon as he heard that there were bullets, Liu Chuang turned his anger into joy: "Give it to me quickly! I'm worried about running out of bullets! When did Brother Xu ever be stingy? He's always been a living Bodhisattva!"
As soon as the words fell, a box of bombs came over, Liu Chuang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.The person in the dark is none other than Xu Congliang!
Before leaving, he went to Jinshengyuan Restaurant and chatted with Lin Dan happily for a while, then Caixia came to accompany Lin Dan according to his instructions.After a few more minutes, he was "called" away by the sour monkey who rushed over. The reason was very simple, Director Jin asked him to play mahjong.
As soon as he came out of Jinshengyuan, Xu Congliang quickly changed into the clothes of the brothers of the Mu Gang, and made his face dirty again, mixed with the team of the Mu Gang until he came to Mao'er Mountain.
Lin Dan didn't take part in the action, so most of his heart was relieved, and the rest was worried about Lin Sen, Liu Chuang and other brothers.Rather than waiting for the news at home, it is better to go to battle in person, not to mention that he also wants to kill a few devils with real swords and guns.
The two of them had just finished arguing about the sniper rifle when there was the sound of branches and leaves shaking in the bushes in the distance, and then the outlines of several figures appeared.Liu Chuang couldn't be more familiar with Lin Sen's figure. He recognized Lin Sen walking in front, so he hurriedly got up to meet him.
In the dark, he couldn't see the appearance of the people behind Lin Sen clearly. He only heard Lin Sen introduce: "Second in charge, this is the tall captain of the Wuchang guerrillas."
Although Liu Chuang was overjoyed, he didn't bother to exchange pleasantries right now. He just stretched out his big hand to shake each other's hands, and then hurriedly asked, "When will we start to act?"
Team Gao also said almost at the same time: "Old Lin, my comrades over there are already in their positions, just waiting for your order!"
Lin Sen was not in a hurry, but pulled the hands of the two of them together, and said in a deep and serious voice: "Captain Gao and the second leader, both of you know about this mission, the purpose is not as simple as taking down the enemy's watchtower, the most important thing It is to attract the enemy's troops. I estimate that the total strength of the Devils in Mao'er Mountain is at least one squadron. The comrades on the other side have enough time to shake off the enemy."
Liu Chuang and Captain Gao exchanged glances, and both pairs of eyes shone brightly in the darkness, then shook their clenched arms vigorously, and said in unison: "Just wait for your old Lin to give an order!"
Lin Sen grabbed the two men's arms and shook them vigorously. The corners of his mouth moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He took out a flare gun from his arms and said to the two: "Now you two Immediately lead their brothers to crawl forward to a place 40 to 50 meters away from the watchtower, and immediately launch an attack when they see my signal flares! Remember, as soon as the enemy's reinforcements arrive, immediately retreat here, relying on favorable terrain to block the attack!"
In the dark night sky, there were only a few stars glowing lazily. In the howling wind, the men of the guerrillas and wooden gangs held their own guns and crawled towards the watchtower with fire-breathing eyes.The dense thorns and bushes covered their figures properly, but they also pierced everyone's face and hands fiercely, but in the strong wind, there were at most a few suppressed teeth gnashing sounds.
Xu Congliang followed Liu Chuang closely and crawled forward along the hillside with difficulty. This can be said to be the greatest suffering he has suffered in his life, but he has never experienced a surge of heat from the bottom of his heart, which makes his blood rush. , as if there is inexhaustible strength in his body.
A few minutes later, more than 50 men from the wooden gang had climbed to a mound more than 50 meters away from the watchtower. With a pale cold light.Liu Chuang lowered his body even lower, and slowly waved his arms left and right, signaling for everyone to disperse and lurk.Xu Congliang had already laid down behind a bush and carefully set up his sniper rifle.There were no devils in the scope, only the searchlight on the watchtower.The others also adjusted their firearms, aiming at their targets, waiting for the flare to rise into the sky before firing violently together.
While waiting anxiously, the sound of mosquitoes buzzing and flying in the mountains and fields could be heard all around. In just a few minutes, Xu Congliang felt his face was swollen with a thick layer of bites. It was tight, but there was still a grass crawler that got in from nowhere and bit his back desperately.
"Damn it, I'm disfigured before the devil kills a single one!" He scratched his back hard a few times, cursing in his heart, but turned his head to look at Liu Chuang and he was happy, Liu Chuang's The encounter was not much better than his. The two cheeks were already swollen and high from the mosquito bites, but the two hands did not scratch the itch, but tightly clutched a grenade. Seeing the posture, it would be wrong to throw the grenade first. No more scratching.
At this moment, the sharp sound of signal flares pierced the night sky, and before the signal flares completely dispersed in the air, Liu Chuang's grenade had already swished out.
"Hit!" With a roar, the grenade exploded in front of the watchtower, and then dozens of grenades were thrown out one after another. The deafening explosion, flames and smoke instantly surrounded the watchtower.In another bush more than 200 meters away from them, dozens of black shadows swished up and rushed towards the watchtower under the cover of thick smoke and bullets.
Xu Congliang didn't throw the grenade, he was still lying in the bushes, and the muzzle of the sniper rifle was still motionless, because the searchlight had just turned around and shone to the other side.But he knew that with the sound of the explosion, the searchlights would spin around in no time.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the huge beam of the searchlight came over, but Xu Congliang pulled the trigger as soon as it caught sight of a few guerrillas in the attack. This latest semi-automatic sniper rifle finally exerted its power and fired six shots After the bullet was fired, the searchlight suddenly went out, and the fragments scattered in the thick smoke.
But after the brief screams of panic, a series of bullets were sprayed out of the watchtower, and the sound of rapid and powerful spraying suddenly overwhelmed the sky. Judging from the sound of the bullets, at least two heavy machine guns were roaring.
"Grandma, keep the grenade away from me! Where the hell is the energy for cutting down trees?" Looking at the fallen guerrillas in front of him, Liu Chuang roared and threw another grenade.
Xu Congliang was also in a hurry, put down his gun and reached for the grenade, but a hurried voice stopped him. "Aim at the machine gun on the second floor! The devil's heavy machine gun is on the second floor!"
Xu Congliang suddenly realized that although his marksmanship was good, it was only practiced in normal times, and he had never experienced a real battle.At this time, after hearing this sentence, he immediately picked up the sniper rifle again, and the scope quickly swept across the second floor, and locked on to a muzzle with a red light after a few seconds.
"Haha, I've caught you!" Xu Congliang yelled in his heart, but he held his breath in his mouth. After stabilizing the muzzle of the gun again, he squeezed the trigger continuously.
If this is the bullet fired by Sanba Dagai, 99% of the time it will miss the target. After all, the muzzle of the machine gun is only the size of a matchbox at a distance of 50 meters. One hundred meters.The devil's machine gunner also understands this truth, so he sprayed flames unscrupulously, not worried that the bullets from outside could fly in, but he didn't know that it was not Sanba Dagai or "Zhongzheng" who was aiming at him this time, but The latest sniper rifle.
As a box of bullets was fired, one of the two fire dragons spraying on the watchtower suddenly became dumb. Xu Congliang hurriedly moved the muzzle of the gun, preparing to kill another heavy machine gun. A crisp sound came from beside him, and Xu Congliang raised his eyes to see that another heavy machine gun was also on the ground.After the two heavy machine guns were temporarily turned off, the devil's firepower was weakened by more than half. Although seven or eight of the guerrilla stormtroopers were knocked down, the rest of them took advantage of this opportunity and rushed to the front of the watchtower.Although the devil's heavy machine gun spewed bullets again, it was already too late. The explosive package was quickly thrown into the watchtower. With several bangs like mountains shaking and the ground shaking, the watchtower suddenly fell into a huge sea of flames.
"Good marksmanship!" Xu Congliang let out a sigh of relief, turned his head and shouted.
"You're not bad either, you two are tutors?" The people around him also replied, his face was flushed red by the thick firelight, it was Lin Sen.
The two sentences were uttered almost at the same time, and the two also looked at each other almost at the same time, because they both felt that the other's voice was very familiar.
"So it's you! Why are you here?" Lin Sen looked at Xu Congliang in astonishment.
"Don't worry, I'll let Caixia accompany Lin Dan!" Xu Congliang knew that Lin Sen was more worried about his sister, and after explaining, he touched the sniper rifle and sighed, "I wanted to kill a few more devils, but I didn't expect to kill them." One is not enough!"
Lin Sen didn't have time to think about this. Although the watchtower was blown up, a large number of devils would rush over like flies.He ran towards Liu Chuang quickly, and asked as he ran, "How many casualties are there for the brothers of the Mu Gang?"
"We have nothing to do, only two brothers have lost the lottery, and they are not serious. But the brothers from the guerrillas rushed to the front, and I think several were knocked down..."
Just as Liu Chuang was talking, Captain Gao also ran over covered in dust and reported to Lin Senhui: "I have sent a small team to perform tasks on the railway line, and the rest are retreating to prepare for the next fighting."
"How about casualties?" Lin Sen was concerned about this.
"Eight were sacrificed, and more than ten were killed." Team Gao's eyes turned red, but he slapped his chest immediately, "Don't worry, our Wuchang guerrilla team will not be defeated, we guarantee to complete the task!"
Just as they were talking, there were sporadic gunshots in the distance, and under the reflection of the fire, a group of dark shadows were squirming towards here like dense dark clouds.
"It's not too late. Everyone retreats to the middle of the mountain the same way. It is estimated that the devil will arrive in ten minutes!" Lin Sen waved his hand, signaling everyone to quickly withdraw from the battle.
Xu Congliang followed Lin Sen with his gun on his back, and when he finished deploying, he trotted and asked, "Old Lin, we already have fewer enemies and more enemies, why did you ask the guerrillas to send out a small team? Even if it's a two-prong attack , those dozen or so people can't do anything at all!"
Lin Sen paused, turned around and said with a smile, "Not bad, he is good at detecting crimes, and he is also good at fighting. The dozen or so people I sent out were not to stop the devils, but to be switchmen. "
"The switchman? It's better to blow up the rails." Xu Congliang didn't understand.
"The watchtower is taken away, the devils will definitely come for reinforcements, this is a transfer station, naturally it is the fastest way to come from the railway, the dozen or so people I sent only need to change the direction of the railroad tracks at the crossing, and the devil's train will go along the other way." The railroad track is moving forward, and it will take at least an hour for them to wake up, and it will take two hours to go back and forth. If the railroad track is blown up, although the devils will suffer casualties, they will be able to get off the train and move forward in less than half an hour. Surround us. Now we only need to deal with the small group of devils coming from the surrounding area!"
It was only then that Xu Congliang suddenly realized, but he only laughed a few times before he stopped and looked at the dark sky thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.
"What time are you still in a daze! Hurry up and go back!" Liu Chuang slapped him hard on the back, only to wake up Xu Congliang, he strode to keep up with the troops, and the gunshots behind him became more and more intense up.
When he rushed back halfway up the mountain and was preparing to meet the enemy's attack, Xu Congliang found that Lin Sen's judgment was somewhat discrepant.Although the number of devils who came to reinforce in the first wave was not many, there were only two teams, but their equipment was extremely sophisticated.
As soon as Xu Congliang put the sniper rifle in a suitable position, the deafening sound of the guns rumbled. Xu Congliang didn't think much about it, and immediately buried his body on the ground, wishing there was a hole to get in now.
Mortar shells hit the sky and covered the sky, causing huge sound waves and raging fires in the forest, and the fallen tree trunks smashed heavily to the ground with billowing dust. Xu Congliang just took a breath when his throat was blocked with mud and tears add.
"Damn, where did this devil come from? There are quite a few guys!" He just cursed, and the second round of mortar shells swarmed in again, and the huge sound wave rushed towards Xu Congliang's voice. Without a trace, a lifted stone also hit Xu Congliang's back violently, making his eyes stare, and his internal organs seemed to be gushing out.
He lay on the ground for more than a minute before he could catch his breath, but his ears were still buzzing. He wiped the thick dust from his face and looked around, only to see that the surroundings were already a mess. Liu Chuang One of his arms was bleeding, and Big Sun's calf had been blasted to pieces!
While he was in a daze, Lin Sen had rushed over, grabbed Xu Congliang and shouted: "Take a few brothers to lift the injured back, and then prepare to fight immediately!"
Just as he was talking, there were already dense gunshots and the screams of ghosts from the bottom of the mountain. The big man Sun was lying on the ground in a daze just now. He raised his gun and staggered to the front of the battle line, opened fire while staring at the blood red eyes and shouted: "Grandma, I have no legs, but I still have teeth! Even if I bite, I will kill the two devils. Even if I die, I will die." You have to pull two back pads!"
This roar aroused the blood of the other dozen or so wounded who were about to retreat, and they took up their guns and went into battle. I don't know if it was the blood gushing out or their faces flushed. All the men's faces were the same. It was red and strong, and although the gun in his hand was dilapidated, the bullets were ejected bravely, intertwining with the dense gunfire down the mountain.From time to time, with the sound of a certain gunshot, a shouting person suddenly fell backwards, or was raising his gun to shoot, and suddenly fell on the ground in a bloody mess.But then there was another burst of shouting, and the bullets in the barrel continued to spray flames of hatred!
Xu Congliang held the sniper rifle tightly. Although he was not injured, his hands were trembling.He was not afraid, but was suddenly shocked by the bloodiness of these men. In fact, this group of wood gang men had never participated in real battles, but for some reason, in Xu Congliang's eyes, they all became fearless gods of war. !At this moment, Xu Congliang felt that the blood in his body had never been so full, and he had never felt that he was a real man. He let out a loud roar, and then his hands stopped shaking. The devil "snap" pulled the trigger...
The tragic sound of gunfire lasted until midnight before subsiding slowly, but everyone knew that this was just a short period of calm before another wave came up.
In two hours, three onslaughts of the devils were repelled, and everyone was exhausted.The moment Xu Congliang put down the gun, Xu Congliang felt numb and swollen in his fingers, as if suddenly swollen several times, and there was no place on his body that did not hurt.He didn't know whether he was wounded by a gunshot or by the flying shrapnel, and he didn't have the strength to move his arms and legs, but he was panting heavily, even though his mouth was now full of dust.
Painful groans also slowly sounded one after another, mixed with the "cracking" sound from the burning tree trunk and countless strands of thick smoke, Xu Congliang felt in a trance that he was in hell.
"Report the names of the living brothers, and tell us about how many bullets and grenades you have in your hand." Lin Sen staggered to his feet, leaning on his gun, and looked around.
"Liu Chuang... and two grenades, more than twenty bullets..."
"Ma Yonghai, one grenade, eight bullets."
"Joe San, there are still about ten rounds of ammunition left."
Following the exhausted voices, Xu Congliang slowly turned his neck, looking at each of the wooden gang brothers whose bodies were all drilled out of a ditch, and finally, his gaze was fixed on a burning bush.
The bushes covered with thorns had been cut down to only a layer close to the ground, and a big black figure was lying motionless on it, maintaining the posture of shooting.
It was the big man Sun. When the devil's second attack wave came, he was pierced by a bullet through the neck and fell to the bushes.Xu Congliang saw it with his own eyes. He remembered that he yelled several times, and then pulled the trigger hard with tears in his eyes. But when the devil's attack came to an end, he was shocked to find that the big man's posture had changed. , and turned into the appearance of raising the gun to shoot again, and then kept it like this, even though the bullets hit the body, he did not fall down.
Xu Congliang's tears welled up again, dripping onto the three bullets he was clutching in his hand, he wiped his tears with his cuff, pressed the bullets into the magazine, and said fiercely: "Big Sun, three bullets! "
In the darkness, someone murmured back: "The big man is gone."
Xu Congliang choked with sobs and growled: "I will kill the devil for those three bullets!"
No one responded, and the battlefield suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Suddenly, Lin Sen stood up tenaciously, looked around, and said in a low voice but firmly: "Comrades!"
Everyone was stunned. Lin Sen always called everyone brothers, but at this moment he suddenly said the word "comrades", which made everyone feel strange and tragic.
Lin Sen shook his body a few times, and barely stopped, but his voice was still firm: "Comrades, I knew that all of you brothers are men, but today I know that all of you are men who can't be beaten to death. Before I came to Harbin, I had experienced many battles in the army. When I was out of ammunition and food, and I was still breathing, when I heard someone call 'comrade', I felt pain and nothing. Forget about the injury, do you know why?"
In the darkness, everyone's eyes focused on Lin Sen.
"Because as long as there are comrades around, I know that I will not die. No matter how bad I am, there will always be comrades who will save me. That feeling is the same for others. For the sake of comrades, anyone can sacrifice themselves. Just like us today, In order to cover the comrades who went to the Soviet Union, they fought bloody here."
At this time, there was a sudden burst of noise from another position held by the guerrillas, vaguely mixed with cries of grief and indignation.
"What happened over there?" Several people asked in amazement.
"The guerrilla comrades are evacuating."
"Evacuate? Don't you have to stick to it for three hours?" Liu Chuang asked suspiciously.
"Some comrades evacuated, and some comrades stayed..." Lin Sen paused, "Stay to the end!"
Everyone knows what these four words mean. In the dark, Liu Chuang gritted his teeth a few times and growled, "Joe San, take the injured brothers and leave, and the rest stay here with me!"
Qiao San hesitated for a moment, but was interrupted by Lin Sen just as he was about to respond. "No! All the injured comrades stay here, and those who are not injured and whose legs are fine, evacuate quickly!"
"Ah? What did you say?" Liu Chuang asked in surprise.
Xu Congliang understood first. He raised his face and said slowly: "The devil's army will arrive soon. With the ammunition we have left, it would be good to last for half an hour. There is still time to evacuate, but the wounded If the patient wants to leave, he will be overtaken by the devils in a short time, and the whole army will be wiped out in the end."
Lin Sen gave Xu Congliang a thumbs up: "Xu Congliang is right, our sacrifice is already great enough, if we can save one comrade, we must keep one, and you can make greater contributions to the revolution if you survive!"
Liu Chuang rushed in front of Lin Sen and shook his shoulders vigorously: "No, these brothers were born together with me, I can't leave them behind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Sen fell to the ground with a plop under his shaking, and a stream of blood sprayed directly onto Liu Chuang's body.
"Old Lin! Are you injured?" Liu Chuang asked in surprise.
Seeing this, Xu Congliang and a few people around him hurried over, only to see a shrapnel embedded in Lin Sen's abdomen, and blood gushing out from the wound!
Lin Sen smiled miserably, held Liu Chuang's hand tightly, and said with great pain, "Brother, death must be worthwhile. Just now we fought here for the comrades who went to the Soviet Union. Now our wounded stay behind." Here, it is also for comrades... Remember, sacrifice for comrades is worthy of death! When one day, you are also faced with such a choice...you will definitely do the same!"
Tears welled up in Liu Chuang's eyes, but his tall body swayed like a weak wind. Lin Sen gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Chuang, haven't you always wanted to join the party organization? Don't you obey the party's leadership now? Also... We spent so much effort to develop the wooden gang into an anti-Japanese force in Harbin. It is not easy. It will definitely play a greater role in the future, but if you are gone, the wooden gang will It will fall apart... Don't you understand this truth? Just for this, you must evacuate!"
As soon as the words fell, a mouthful of blood spewed out of Lin Sen's mouth, but he ignored it, scanned the people around him and ordered resolutely: "Leave all the grenades to us, and the rest of the comrades evacuate immediately!"
Liu Chuang burst into tears, beating the ground with his two big hands, but after a few heart-piercing yells, he wiped the blood from his face, and said in a crying voice: "Everyone who is not injured will follow!" I'm leaving!"
After he finished speaking, he staggered a few steps, fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed fiercely at the remaining brothers, crying, "Brothers, I, Liu Chuang, am sorry for everyone today! Don't worry, your parents and I, Liu Chuang, will serve you all the time. My wife and children will eat and wear whatever they want, and your wives and children will eat and wear whatever they want. When Little Japan is driven away, I, Liu Chuang, will go there with a cart of soju I will accompany you..."
Before he could finish speaking, those injured wooden gangsters rushed over, dozens of pairs of arms covered in dust and blood tightly embraced each other, mixed with the hot tears from these iron-clad men.
Xu Congliang's heart almost broke when he watched, he rushed to Lin Sen and cried loudly: "Old Lin, I will carry you down!"
Lin Sen spat out the blood clots in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I never dreamed that you, Xu Congliang, could cry so much. Let me tell you, if you cry today, you will cry. You can't cry in front of my sister. She doesn't like a man who sheds tears the most!"
Xu Congliang has always been eloquent, but at this moment all his words turned into tears, Lin Sen groaned twice, held Xu Congliang's hand tightly, and said affectionately: "Brother, I have nothing else to worry about, only my sister... I I handed her over to you, you can't treat her badly, you know?"
Xu Congliang wept a few times, and as soon as he nodded, Lin Sen pushed him out, laughing loudly: "Go! Remember what I just said, and don't forget to get me two bowls of the strongest liquor!"
Xu Congliang agreed, crying with grief and indignation.Then his eyes went dark, and he only felt that he was being held up by someone and staggered and ran in the mountains.After an unknown amount of time, there was a deafening explosion sound behind him, and the sound shook the ground, hundreds of times more violent than the devil's mortar.
At that moment, all the people fell to their knees at the same time, kowtowed three times to the sea of flames in the distance, and then disappeared into the darkness full of grief and indignation.
Harbin is in a mess.
Sirens rang throughout the city from dawn.Whether it is the pleasing Songhua River, the towering and majestic Sophia Cathedral, or the magnificent Central Street, you can see groups of ferocious Japanese soldiers everywhere.
As soon as the martial law was issued, the common people were so frightened that they hid at home and did not dare to stick their heads out. The streets and alleys immediately became a world of bayonets and military boots. And the shouts of Japanese devils filled the whole Harbin city, and then the house-to-house search began. The cold Harbin city seemed to turn into a sea of chaos and crying in an instant. Shocking horror.
Before dawn, Xu Congliang ran home.He didn't have time to go to Jinshengyuan Restaurant to meet Lin Dan. On the one hand, he had already lost his body when he came back from Mao'er Mountain, and he didn't have the slightest strength. More importantly, he didn't know how to tell Lin Dan the bad news.
When he got home, he went straight to the bathroom and took a hot bath, but when he finished the bath, his eyes couldn't stand it any longer. Fall asleep by the bathtub.By the time the sour monkey pushed him awake in the morning, the skin all over his body had been soaked and wrinkled.
"Oh, brother, why are you sleeping in the bathtub?" The sour monkey hurriedly pulled Xu Congliang up, pulled a towel and wiped his body while pushing him in the living room. "Hurry up, your Master Jin is calling to find you!"
"what time is it?"
"It's past five o'clock."
Xu Congliang was refreshed when he heard it. Jin Ronggui called so early, the police department must have an urgent task.He rushed to the phone and picked it up: "Director, I'm Xu Congliang."
"Come to my office immediately! The entire city will be under martial law and a raid will be made in a short while, we must deploy the plan immediately!"
"Martial law? What happened?" Xu Congliang immediately thought of the bloody battle at Mao'er Mountain, but it was under the banner of the Wuchang guerrillas, and the whole city should be under martial law in Wuchang Town. How could it be that the whole city of Harbin was under martial law?
"The Wuchang guerrillas fought a battle with the Japanese in Mao'er Mountain last night. The Japanese captured a prisoner. According to the prisoner's account, some of the remnants fled to Harbin." Jin Ronggui hurriedly finished speaking, and immediately hung up the phone.
Xu Congliang's head immediately grew bigger. If the news about Mu Gang's participation in the battle leaked out, not only Liu Chuang would be ruined, but he might also lose his life!However, he is more worried about Lin Dan.Putting down the phone, he put on his clothes indiscriminately and rushed out the door. After getting into the car, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed to Jinshengyuan Restaurant quickly.
He didn't care to knock on the door, jumped over the wall into the yard, and rushed straight to Lin Dan's house.
There was faint candlelight in Lin Dan's room, and through the window lattice she could see the outline of her sitting quietly with her chin resting.After Xu Congliang knocked on the door a few times, Lin Dan opened the door.
Both of them were taken aback.Lin Dan didn't expect that it was Xu Congliang who appeared in front of her in the morning light, and Xu Congliang didn't expect that Lin Dan's face was full of grief and tears.
"You know everything?" Xu Congliang asked.
"Well, the superior just got the news." Lin Dan nodded silently, but such a few light movements seemed to exhaust all the strength in her whole body, and she slumped backwards after a few shakes.
Xu Congliang hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug her, pinched her hard a few times, and Lin Dan woke up faintly.She glanced at Xu Congliang in front of her, moved her lips a few times, but said nothing, just fell into his arms and began to cry.
Xu Congliang was both distressed and anxious, so he said a few words of comfort, and when Lin Dan's mood stabilized, he hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to be uncomfortable, I just heard the news - the devils will soon start a city-wide search, you are too dangerous here, or Hurry up and avoid the limelight!"
Lin Dan wiped his eyes, shook his head calmly and said, "There should be no danger here, but Liu Chuang's situation is not good."
"Why are you so sure?" Xu Congliang was so anxious that he didn't even bother to wipe off the sweat.
"You are confused." Lin Dan looked at Xu Congliang with pity. The loss of her brother made her suddenly feel that Xu Congliang was the only person he could rely on.地派个小队来就足够了。他们兴师动众全城戒严，反而说明他们没有明确的目标。你不用担心我这里，赶紧去警察厅探听消息，我这就派人去木帮提醒刘闯小心。”
许从良也恢复了冷静，细细一品也确实在理。但他仍不放心，爱怜地抚摸了一下林丹的秀发，叮嘱道：“万一有什么事情，你千万不要硬拼！我在北郊的那个住处别人都不知道，你觉得风声不对就赶紧去那里，听到了吗？”
林丹点了点头，掏出帕子匆匆给许从良擦了擦汗，眼泪禁不住又流了出来，抽泣道：“别慌里慌张的，你要再出什么事，我真的就没依靠了。”
许从良心里一热，想说什么轻松的话却不知怎么开口，于是抱住林丹狠狠地亲了一口，然后快步出门。
一路上他提心吊胆地琢磨来琢磨去，浑身又出了一层臭汗。不过，赶到警察厅，在听到金荣桂说了第一句话以后许从良松了一大口气。
“日本人抓了一个五常游击队的俘虏，严刑拷打下那人招供说有一部分残匪连夜逃到了哈尔滨城里。关东军司令部刚下了命令，即刻展开全城大搜捕，我们警察厅配合特务机关本部和宪兵队进行抓捕工作。”
许从良觉得浑身立刻松快起来，林森在分派任务的过程中特意将五常游击队和木帮分开，而他自己也始终和木帮在一起，除了游击队的高大队长以外，五常游击队再没人知道他的身份以及木帮参与了行动。眼下虽然游击队的人招了供，鬼子知道了有抗日武装力量在城中，但是却并不知道这伙人的来龙去脉，只要木帮自己人能守口如瓶，想必鬼子一时半会儿也找不到什么线索。
许从良思量的时候，叶勇已经兴奋地攥起了拳头：“厅长，您就瞧好吧！我最近新招了不少人，个个都是在哈尔滨混的老油条，哪个犄角旮旯有耗子都能闻出味来，还有那些在监狱里蹲着的流氓地痞，他们对哈尔滨地界熟悉得很，关着也是浪费粮食，不如把他们撒出去，肯定能找到线索！”
叶勇别的话许从良不信，但这句话他信七八成。几个月以来，叶勇一直在慢慢培植自己的力量，招了不少哈尔滨的地痞无赖。这帮人干坏事一个顶俩，消息也灵通得很，哈尔滨的大街小巷哪里有什么新鲜事他们准保先知道。许从良也明白叶勇急着打头阵的目的，自从蔡圣孟垮了以后，他做梦都想弄出点成绩再往上爬爬。许从良前些日子一直忙着其他事情，并没把叶勇挂在心上，此刻叶勇急着打头炮，倒把他给提醒了——叶勇这家伙现在是削尖了脑袋要往上爬，急不可耐之下什么事情都能做出来，白受天一直深藏不露难以摆平，倒不如找个机会先把叶勇搞下去，再腾出手来最后对付白受天。
许从良心里盘算着，挑起大拇指冲叶勇比划了一下，然后转向白受天：“白科长，我觉得叶科长的主意不错，你觉得呢？”
白受天依然一副不阴不阳的样子，干咳一声后冲金荣桂笑道：“日本人打仗固然厉害，但是对哈尔滨的熟悉程度远远比不上咱们，用叶科长这办法，我估计能见到成效！”见三人意见一致，金荣桂便开始部署起来。许从良一边听一边琢磨，莫非白受天想的和我一样？
看着白受天那副不阴不阳的样子，许从良就像瞅见了苍蝇一样难受，他不由想到昨天晚上在帽儿山的血战，每一条汉子的脸上都充满着率真和血性，那才是男人的脸！But now?不用说金荣桂、白受天和叶勇，就是自己的脸也戴着一层层虚情假意的面具，他以前并不觉得自己这副德行有什么不好，因为他一直过的是“见人说人话、见鬼说鬼话”的日子，但和林森、林丹兄妹交往的时间越长，他就越觉得自己这副样子恶心。
好容易等金荣桂部署完毕，许从良装作焦急的样子拔腿就往外走，忽然在走廊里被白受天的一句话叫住了。
“许科长怎么瞅着昨晚没睡好觉呵？脸色这么不好。”
许从良心里一激灵，饶是他反应快，稍愣一下随即诡秘地笑道：“老白啊，你就取笑我吧，你有家有业的，哪里知道我的苦处啊！”他亲密地拉着白受天，挤着眼睛坏笑道：“贵春楼新来不少姑娘呢！昨晚上一直折腾到后半夜，给我累的呵，洗澡的时候都睡着了，你看给我泡的褶子！”
白受天看着许从良伸过来的手，眨巴眨巴眼睛，笑道：“到底还是许科长体力好啊，我可是有心无力了。”
哼哈了几句，算是把这个话题岔了过去，回到自己的办公室，将手下召集起来迅速布置了任务以后，许从良把自己关在屋子里待了一阵，他越琢磨越觉得白受天似乎藏着什么坏水。可现在暂时也没心情理会这些，响彻全城的警报声已经拉了起来，他的心思全跑到了木帮、刘闯身上。
他抄起电话，拨通了家里，“猴子，今天全城戒严搜捕抗日分子，你别四处乱跑，在家待着吧。对了，家里的酒好像没了，让秋萍回娘家弄点烧酒，晚上咱哥俩喝几口。”
放下电话，酸猴子就明白了。立刻把秋萍叫来，叮嘱道：“你赶快回木帮一趟，告诉二当家的，这几天一定小心点儿！”
交代完毕，酸猴子也急匆匆出了门，直奔警察厅而来。他知道，许从良在电话里说得那么含蓄，肯定有更要紧的话没法说。几个月以来，酸猴子和警察厅的人也混得极熟，谁都知道他是许科长的兄弟，到了警察厅自然没人盘问，三步两步便扑进了许从良办公室。
见酸猴子进来，许从良并没觉得意外，他知道以他们兄弟间的感觉，酸猴子肯定会拍马赶到。他示意酸猴子把门关严，然后急匆匆地说：“猴子，你赶紧把你那帮朋友召集起来，紧跟着这些人，看这帮狗腿子的眼珠子有没有盯向木帮！”
说着，他把一张纸递给了酸猴子。酸猴子一看，上面有三十多个名字，其中十八九个人他认识，都是一些挂了名的地痞无赖。他把纸叠好，问道：“那二爷那边用不用派几个弟兄瞄着？”
“不用，我已经让王强派人盯着那边了，你就专心干好这件事就行。”
酸猴子得令而去，许从良却并没有轻松下来。他本想出去转转，亲自察看一番，但却脱不开身，不时有嫌疑人被押送过来，作为警察厅侦破第一高手，他责无旁贷要“严格审查”一番。此外，许从良也想在警察厅里暗中留意叶勇和白受天的一举一动，更何况如果有了什么重大的消息，他也能第一时间探听到。
好容易挨到了下班时间，许从良也见到了王强，不过传回来的不是什么好消息，叶勇的几个手下确实贼溜溜地盯上了木帮，四下拐弯抹角地打探着木帮这几天发生的事情。许从良听完，一言不发地离开了警察厅，回到家的第一件事就是把秋萍叫过来。
“刘二爷那边怎么样？”
“暂时还算好吧。”秋萍犹豫着说，“只是木帮有二十多个弟兄忽然不见了，还有不少人都受了伤，弄得大家怪害怕的，不知道出了什么事？”
正说着，酸猴子满头大汗地回来了，一看他的脸色，许从良就知道事情也不大妙，忙让秋萍退下，催问道：“有什么情况？”
酸猴子摇摇头：“不妙，大大地不妙。”
许从良气得眼睛一瞪：“你小子会不会说中国话了？怎么弄出鬼子的腔调了！”
“唉，满大街都是鬼子，说出的鸟语除了'八嘎'就是'大大地'、'死啦死啦地'，我听了一天，还能有好？”
酸猴子端起茶壶，咕嘟咕嘟喝了好几口水，才接着说：“叶勇手底下的那几个败类把木帮盯上了，他们偷偷摸摸地四处打听木帮怎么少了不少人？照这么下去，很快就得怀疑上木帮，弄不好就得把刘闯他们带进局子里审问，万一有骨头软的，那就全完蛋了！”
许从良的心揪了起来，嘴里骂骂咧咧地嘟囔个不停，不过发了半天神经以后打了个大大的哈欠，冲酸猴子一挥手：“知道了，老子太困了，睡觉要紧！”
酸猴子知道这两晚上把许从良累坏了，也没再像往常一样絮叨，转身回了自己的房间。不过一直到半夜时分他也没听到许从良的呼噜声，他越琢磨越觉得不放心，爬起来溜进了许从良的屋子。
他蹑手蹑脚地走到许从良床前，借着月光向许从良脸上看去，许从良的嘴突然动了几下：“你小子不睡觉折腾什么？”
酸猴子“妈呀”一声跌坐到地上，喘了两口粗气说道：“吓死我了，你不是说困了吗，怎么还不睡觉？”
“想人呢。”许从良翻弄两下眼皮，月光下，他的一双小眼睛贼溜溜地闪着精光。
“想谁啊？”
“前半夜想想自己，后半夜想想别人。”
“别人？呼延小姐还是林丹啊？”
“都什么时候了，我还有心思想女人？”许从良啐了酸猴子一口，摇头晃脑地说，“我在想一个能救我命的大恩人。”
酸猴子莫名其妙地看着许从良，等他继续说下去，没料到许从良甩甩胳膊，身子也转了过去：“你快去睡吧，我得静静地琢磨我这个大恩人。”
第二天一大早，酸猴子就被许从良从被窝里拽了起来，然后他就知道了许从良所说的大恩人是何许人。
“大恩人”叫那善，外号那七爷，是前清的一个贝勒。现在大清朝虽然变成了满洲国，但前清遗老们跟着溥仪又摆出以前的派头，那七爷也不例外，摇身一变从一个破落的贝勒混上了王爷的头衔。虽说名字响亮，但满洲国的王爷照大清朝的王爷身价贬了许多，那七爷也深知这点，于是利用王爷的“封号”开始上下钻营，和新京的达官贵戚打得火热，更是和只位于溥仪之下的嘉亲王走得很近乎。这还不算，那七爷还利用这些便利条件大肆倒卖紧俏商品，不出两年便成了哈尔滨交际圈里的名人。
对于那七这样的满清遗老的所作所为，日本人心知肚明，不过只要不损害他们太大的利益，日本人也就睁一只眼闭一只眼，毕竟“日满共荣”这个冠冕堂皇的口号要做出来才更像回事。在日本人眼里，有些奴才是要管的，还有些奴才是要养的，就比如那七爷这种人。给他们点儿甜头，才会让溥仪和这些前清遗老心甘情愿地当儿臣。
对于那七爷的事情，酸猴子也就知道这些，他脑子转了好几遍也没想起许从良和这位王爷有什么交情。不过看着许从良鬼祟的眼神，酸猴子猜出了一二。
“你不会把坏心思又用到他身上了吧？”
“为什么不能用他身上？那七爷什么德行你又不是不知道，坑蒙拐骗偷、吃喝嫖赌抽哪样他落下了？他那个王爷前面加上败类两个字正合适。”
“这个我知道，问题是咱们眼前这个麻烦怎么和他扯上关系了？”
许从良嘿嘿坏笑道：“我前几天听彩霞说起过，那七爷倒卖很多紧俏商品，还逼着木帮帮他运货，这不就有关系了吗？”
说完，他收敛笑容，仔仔细细地跟酸猴子讲了半天，然后吩咐道：“告诉刘闯现在就开始行动，越醒目越好，再晚的话，叶勇等不及就得把他们抓进局子里审讯了。然后再去王强家一趟，让他把打更的老五也派上用场。”
“打更的老五？”
“对，王强知道是谁。”许从良淡淡地回道。“打更的老五”是他安插在叶勇手下的一个人，只有他和王强知道，许从良决定今天这出戏让“老五”出场。
酸猴子得令，拔腿就往外走，不过走到门口回头损了许从良一句：“大哥啊，你咋越来越坏了呢？”
叶勇大清早就得到了一条令他兴奋不已的探报：木帮有异动！
他一边胡乱穿着外衣，一边问赶来报告的手下：“你确定他们是木帮的人？”
“错不了，我们弟兄一直盯着木帮，那十多个人就是从木帮大寨出来的，其中还有那个叫大烟袋锅子的，个个手里都有家伙。这还不算，还挺神秘的，绕来绕去转悠了半个多钟头才钻进一个大仓库里。”
“仓库里有什么？打探到了吗？”
手下的眼睛顿时亮了，得意忘形地说：“那帮家伙起初很隐秘，我们拿望远镜盯了半天，就看见四辆马车，不过后来终于被我们看到了——那车里看起来像装着不少货物，但那都是外表，里面是空的，我看到木帮的人把七八个受伤的人抬进了马车里！那七八个人，不是腿上胳膊上缠着绷带就是脑袋上都是血迹，啥伤能伤成那样？肯定是枪伤！”
“伤员？”叶勇瞪大了眼珠子，激动得满脸的横肉也跟着在颤动。 "Where are they now?"
手下搓了搓湿津津的手心，说：“我看他们不停地看表，还不时派出个人在街口张望，似乎在等什么人，估计是共产党的大人物，于是赶紧回来向您报告了。”
叶勇激动地一甩胳膊：“赶紧召集人手，都赶到那里去！”
“咱们用不用向日本人汇报一下？”手下提醒道。
“汇报个屁，汇报了这个功劳还能是咱们的吗？”叶勇说完便冲了出去。
叶勇的手下看得确实不差，不过，他们虽然看到了缠着绷带的伤员，却看不见绷带里面的情形。大烟袋锅子坐在仓库里的一只大木桶上，吧嗒吧嗒抽完了最后一口烟，冲身旁的弟兄使了个眼色，几个人心领神会把仓库的大门推开，随即四辆马车驶了进来。仓库大门再度关严之后，八个“伤员”矫健地从马车里跃了下来，飞快地解开缠在身上的绷带，然后点起一把火把绷带烧得干干净净。
大烟袋锅子把烟袋磕打了两下，冲众人说：“大家再仔细检查一遍，千万别留下'小辫子'，要是让鬼子看出破绽可就全完了。还有，都把子弹检查一下。”
“放心吧，一发步枪子弹都没带，用的都是咱们的土炮子。”说归说，十几个人于是又仔细检查了一遍。刚忙乎完没多久，仓库后门就响起了三长两短的敲门声。大烟袋锅子急忙奔到后门，小心翼翼地把门打开。
两个木帮弟兄陪着三个人走了进来。为首的一个人头戴宽沿礼帽，风衣的领子立起来束到了腮帮子上，弄得整个脸只露出了鼻子和眼睛。进了门之后，这人就把礼帽甩给了身旁的保镖，插着腰冲大烟袋锅子吼道：“你们木帮怎么搞的？口口声声说是哈尔滨第一帮，怎么连运个货的事儿都摆弄不明白？”
这人正是许从良所说的“大救星”那七爷。一大早，他就被木帮传来的消息弄得头疼，即将要发的一批货物出了差错，需要他亲自前来打点。
大烟袋锅子忙赔着笑脸：“七爷，您老先消消火，容我慢慢说。”
那七爷哼了一声，冲保镖扬了扬手，保镖立刻掏出一只大雪茄递了过来。那七爷一边对着火，一边嘟囔着：“快说吧，是怎么回事？”
“七爷，您没听见这警报声吗？”
“怎么？那是日本人在抓反满抗日分子，和我的货有什么关系？”
大烟袋锅子慢条斯理地继续说：“七爷，您是不知道啊，现在各个路口都被盯得严严的，盘查得厉害，您这批货我们刚装上车就被警察厅的人盯上了，我怕被他们查出来，就把车藏在这里，但要想出城，我们一点招儿也没有啊。”
他慢悠悠地说着，心里却在着急，心道：叶勇也该听到消息了，怎么放着这大功劳不来抢？
他正琢磨着，忽听外面传来一阵阵骚动，那七爷还没说话，在门口负责把风的一个木帮弟兄已经咋咋呼呼地喊起来：“不好了，警察把仓库包围了！”
话音刚落，外面的大喇叭已传出喊话声：“里面的人听清楚了，你们已经被包围，立刻放下武器出来接受检查，否则后果自负！”
大烟袋锅子趴在门缝瞧了几眼，外面果然布满了黑压压的一队人马，数十杆枪都对着仓库，为首的一人正是趾高气扬的叶勇。
大烟袋锅子立刻装出一副惊慌失措的样子，拽着那七爷的袖子嚷道：“七爷，外面是警察厅的叶勇，您看这可怎么办啊？”
那七爷先是一惊，但马上镇定下来，他在哈尔滨也算是有头有脸的人物，即便是金荣桂见了他也要礼让三分，更何况是叶勇。
“慌什么！有七爷我在，你还怕那帮人吃了你？”那七爷甩开大烟袋锅子的手，掸了掸被抓皱了的大衣皮毛，阔步向门口走去。
瞅着那七的背影，大烟袋锅子冲左右轻轻咳嗽两声，木帮的十多个汉子均微微点了点头，暗暗把枪械持在手里，只等大烟袋锅子的口令。那边，那七爷的两个保镖已急忙抢先冲到门口，一边开门一边冲外面大喊道：“叶科长，那七爷在里面，有劳你借步说句话！”
叶勇远远地虽听不大真切，却恍惚间听到“那七爷”这三个字，他一愣，忙问左右：“你们能听清说什么吗？”
“好像是那七爷在里面，要和你说话？”刚说完，叶勇已看到那七爷挺着肚子走了出来。
他怎么会在这儿？叶勇心里纳闷，可面对这个“皇亲国戚”，他只有先迎上去聊几句。
他理了理头发，也迈步向前，走到距离那七爷十几米的地方停下了脚步，毕恭毕敬地赔笑道：“七爷，您怎么在这儿？”
那七爷脸一沉：“这是我的仓库，我在这里打点货物，叶科长不是负责抓捕反满抗日分子吗？怎么有空到这里来了？”
“哈哈，我哪敢打扰那七爷的买卖啊，只是这反满抗日分子四处乱窜，我的手下好像看见有人逃进了仓库，容我再问一下。”叶勇脸上继续赔着笑，一边把事情推到手下身上，一边把手伸到背后示意心腹过来。
“你们看清楚没有，里面到底有没有伤员？”他低声喝问。
心腹急道：“科长，我们几个弟兄拿脑袋担保，我们看得清清楚楚，那几个伤员就藏在车里，即便现在见我们包围，从车里跑下来，也绝对没跑出这个仓库！”
听了这话，叶勇底气足了一些，再一想到这功劳一旦到手，带来的将是飞黄腾达，腰杆子更硬了许多。他往前踏上几步，哈哈笑道：“那七爷，在下是奉命行事，不得不搜查这里，还请七爷体谅一下。”
那七爷本以为叶勇会买他的面子，没料到对方竟然一点台阶也不给自己下，顿时火冒三丈，他刚要发作，却忽然从空中传出“砰”的一声枪响！
他一愣的瞬间，叶勇早已下意识地拔枪在手，也就这一刹那，许从良安插在他手底下的“老五”早已按照许从良的计划扣动了扳机。这两声枪响一下子点燃了导火索，“乒乒乓乓”的子弹顿时在仓库外面横飞起来！
大烟袋锅子拉着枪栓，胡乱地往外面放着，嘴里不停地吆喝：“不用瞄准，打得越快越响越好！”
而叶勇早已惊恐地趴在地上，他已顾不得琢磨事情如何变得这样突然，忙不迭地冲仓库扣动着扳机。在这番惊慌失措中，他也根本没注意有几发从他的阵营里射出的子弹准确地击中了那七爷和那两个保镖。
叶勇这边的火力甚猛，数十杆步枪不停地喷射着子弹，足足七八分钟之后，已经连滚带爬奔回来的叶勇才发觉仓库里已经没有子弹射出来，于是气急败坏地吼道：“停止射击！”
随着硝烟渐渐散去，那七爷杀猪般的哀嚎声灌进每个人的耳朵，至于他的两个手下则一动不动地躺在血泊里，显然已经中弹身亡了。叶勇忙派两个手下把那七爷拖回来，细细打量过去，只见他肚子上中了两枪，不过都没伤在要害部位，盘问几句话也不耽误抢救，于是叶勇忙吼道：“里面有多少人，拿的都是什么家伙？”
那七爷捂着肚子，狠狠瞪着叶勇，咬牙切齿地说：“你他妈的敢对我开枪，活腻歪了？”
叶勇气得来不及多想，“啪”一个耳光便扇了过去，揪住那七爷的脖领子正准备再问，忽然一阵阵疯狂的摩托车声在四周响了起来。
“宪兵队的吉村队长来了！”一个手下忙提醒道。叶勇狠狠地把那七爷扔在地上，快步向吉村秀藏迎了过去。
“什么情况？”吉村秀藏下车就问。
“报告吉村队长，我们发现仓库里有一伙匪徒，其中还有七八个伤员正准备运走，我率部包围了这里，喊话以后那七爷就出来了，我正盘问的时候里面的人突然开火……”
“那七爷怎么样了？”吉村忙挥手打断了叶勇的汇报。他虽然和那七爷没什么交往，但却知道对方好歹也是个“皇亲国戚”，万一出了人命，那可是捅到了马蜂窝。
叶勇忙一溜小跑地领着吉村来到那七爷身旁，那七爷本已是血流如注，此时见了日本人来了忽然有了力气，摇摇晃晃地撑起半个身子哭骂道：“吉村，我在那仓库里运货，就被他们包围了，二话不说就开枪，你看我让他们打的！”
叶勇见状，忙趴在吉村耳边说：“吉村队长，我的手下分明看见他的货车里装着伤员！”
吉村忙问：“你运的是什么货？”
那七爷虽受了枪伤，脑子却还灵活，他知道此刻隐瞒也没有用，一会儿全副武装的宪兵冲进去，他那些违禁的货物也会露馅，于是捂着肚子嚷道：“里面是给新京的嘉亲王爷送的货……我告诉你们，弄坏了一样，我找松泽和金荣桂讲理去！”
吉村眉头一皱，转向叶勇：“里面到底是那七爷运货的人还是伤员？”
叶勇正要开
