Chapter 757 Action

In the pre-Qin period, long before Jing Ke, people from the six countries secretly bribed palace maids to assassinate Qin Wangzheng. The palace maid took advantage of the midnight to walk to the front of Ying Zheng's dragon bed, and when she was about to stab him with a knife, she was knocked to the ground by Ying Zheng who woke up and killed him.

The reason why she failed was that she did not close the door in time after entering the door, causing the cool wind to blow in and wake up Ying Zheng.

If she closed the door, perhaps the ending of the emperor of all ages, and even the history of the entire Chinese country, would be rewritten.

Wang Yaqiao assassinated Jiang in Lushan two years ago. The plan alone took more than half a year and consumed a lot of energy. In the end, he successfully broke through the heavy guards and reached the hinterland of Lushan, only one step away from Chiang Kai-shek.

As a result, before they were about to act, Chiang Kai-shek's guards noticed their whereabouts and strengthened their protection of Chiang Kai-shek, resulting in the failure of a carefully planned assassination, and the righteous man who went to assassinate was also shot to death on the spot.

Why did this happen?

The reason was that Hua Kezhi and others who were in action at that time hid their guns in ham and brought them into Lushan. After taking out the guns, they threw the ham casually on the roadside, and were discovered by the patrolling guards.

The guards were wondering why there was a ham discarded on the roadside, and found that the ham was hollow, so they immediately became alert and sent an emergency signal.

In this way, because of littering, a shocking assassination failed.

There are many such examples. For example, just over a month ago, a righteous man pretended to be an officer of Zhepeng to assassinate the traitor Zhang Jinghui, who was the "Commander-in-Chief of the Manchukuo Anti-Resistant Army" this time. The righteous man finally got to Zhang Jinghui's side and was about to take action, but because his shoes and clothes did not match, he was discovered and arrested on the spot.

There are too many precedents in history that have led to failures due to small flaws, so the problem of too strong odor must not be underestimated and must be solved.

Su Yi thought that he could just change his clothes before, but now it seems that even if he changed his clothes, the odor on his body, hands, face and even hair could not be eliminated.

"We must think of a quick way to deodorize." Su Yi's mind was working fast, thinking hard.

Finally, his eyes fell on the bare trees on the side, and gradually he had an idea.

"Burn charcoal! Twist the charcoal into fine powder." Su Yi said, "Charcoal powder can absorb odors and play a role in deodorization."

"There is such a thing?" Everyone looked at each other, obviously they had never heard of this "little common sense in life".

"Of course, this is not enough." Su Yi said, "When we go in later, we have to use a cloth bag to pack a bag of snow. Before we get out of the well, we have to take off all our clothes, rub our bodies from head to toe with snow, wash them clean, and then rub them with carbon powder. Rub them with snow and carbon powder several times, and the odor on our bodies should no longer exist."

"Then after getting out of the well, change into clean clothes and shoes, so that it will be foolproof."

Everyone was a little moved. Hua Kezhi said: "It's icy and snowy. Take off your clothes and rub your bodies with snow? Master Geng, you will freeze to death!"

"People who practice martial arts have hot blood, it's okay." Su Yi smiled.

"Luo Yu, Feng Ming, you two carry some firewood and go farther away, try to go to a mountain ravine where you can't see the firelight, light a fire, burn more charcoal, and twist it into carbon powder. Time is urgent, go now!"

"Yes!"

The two did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly took the order and left.

"The rest of you take all your things and follow me!" Su Yi called them.

Soon, Su Yi went around to the other side of the adjacent wall, where the terrain was higher and he was in a commanding position.

Su Yi gestured with his hands at the wall in the distance for a while, and occasionally walked in and out, and even picked up explosive packs to pad the weight.

Yixiantian and Chen Chutai looked at them in confusion.

"What is Mr. Geng doing?" Chen Chutai asked in surprise.

"Range finding for artillery!" Hua Kezhi looked doubtful. "I've been in the artillery battalion before, and I've seen experienced artillerymen use this method to test the distance, angle, and accuracy of artillery fire before firing. This is a unique skill. You can't learn it without working in the artillery battalion for a few years. I remember that Master Geng... has never fought in a war? How can he do this?"

"Master Geng hasn't been to Zhepeng yet, but he speaks Japanese better than the people of Zhepeng?" Yixiantian snorted, as if you haven't seen the world. "Master Geng has been learning martial arts for less than a year, and now even I, who have learned for more than ten years, am no match for him. Some people are born with good brains, and they can learn anything at a glance. You can't help but admit it..."

As he was talking, Su Yi had already called them over at a position.

"Dig a pit at this position with a large angle." Su Yi said, holding a makeshift triangular wooden frame in his hand, pointing to one of the corners. "The diameter should be the same as that of a gasoline barrel, and the depth should be enough to fit two-thirds of the gasoline barrel."

"Mr. Geng, you are... thinking of using a gasoline barrel as a cannon?" Hua Kezhi was dumbfounded, "Isn't this a bit... fanciful?"

"Yes, if a cannon is so simple, why would the foreigners go to so much trouble to make a cannon?" Chen Chutai also found it incredible.

Even Yixiantian was a little skeptical, wondering if Mr. Geng was taking it for granted this time.

What Su Yi wanted to make was, of course, the famous conscienceless cannon in later generations.

Of course, the biggest advantage of this weapon is that it is cheap, and in some specific environments and battles, it can play a role in attacking and destroying defensive facilities. But it is basically ineffective against infantry in motion.

It would be too obvious to say that this thing can replace cannons. Moreover, it is very limited, highly dangerous, and has a lot of shortcomings. It is not as magical as described in some mythical dramas.

This is just a helpless method.

"Don't question it! Get to work!" Su Yi gave the order with a serious face.

He doesn't have to explain everything to his men.

Yixiantian and the other three began to dig a hole, while Su Yi modified the explosive packs and gunpowder, and made three "baffles" out of bark and branches that exactly matched the caliber of the gasoline barrel.

The three propellant packs and the three explosive packs were also changed by Su Yi into a round shape the same size as the caliber of a gasoline barrel.

When Su Yi was filling the gunpowder, he called Chen Chutai over to demonstrate and explain to him.

"First fill the launch gunpowder at the bottom, use an electric detonator, and connect the wires in advance... then put the baffle, and finally the explosive bag. I have modified the explosive bag. When you place the other two later, It must be noted that it must match the diameter of the gasoline barrel. If there are any gaps, fill them with cotton wool.”

"The explosive package is directly ignited with the fuse. Note that the delay must be accurate to twenty seconds, and the error should not exceed two seconds. Light the explosive package first, and then immediately ignite the propellant within five seconds and launch the explosive package. This will ensure The explosive package will fall in the courtyard of the headquarters..."

Chen Chutai nodded and took out a pen to write down quickly, studying very seriously.

After a while, Walker and the others dug the pit. The four of them worked together to put the filled gasoline barrels into the pit, and then filled and compacted the gap between the pit and the outer wall of the gasoline barrel. This heartless cannon was ready.

"Time is limited. Before Luo Yu and Feng Ming come back, I will explain the entire action plan first, and Kezhi will relay it to them later."

"Okay." Hua Kezhi agreed.

"We are divided into two groups, one group is responsible, and the other group goes in to assassinate. But the two groups must cooperate closely and there can't be any mistakes." Su Yi said.

"In the first step of the plan, Xiao Han and I sneaked in from the drainage pipe, reached the maintenance wellhead, used the well wall to support the suspension, quickly took off our clothes, and completed the cleaning and deodorization work. This process will be controlled from the time we start to the completion. Within fifteen minutes.”

"The second step of the plan is that in fifteen minutes, you will launch the first explosive package on time. No matter whether the explosive package falls in the courtyard of the headquarters or not, the huge explosion will attract the attention of the devils. My little brother and I Han Hui calculated the time and hit the manhole cover hard at the same time as the explosion, trying to knock the manhole cover open at once. "

"Because there is a bigger explosion to cover it up and everyone will look this way after the explosion, so unless we are very lucky, no one will notice the noise we make,"

"I'm worried that we won't be able to break open the iron frame of the welding wire on the manhole cover with just one move, so the second step will continue."

"After you fire the first explosive package, immediately cool the barrel with snow, and then immediately fill the second explosive package. I have just taught Chu Tai the filling method and sequence. The time for cooling the barrel and filling the ammunition I'll give you three minutes. If all goes well, the four of you can complete the refilling within two minutes, so three minutes is definitely more than enough."

"If something goes wrong with the explosive pack or propellant when filling, don't be nervous. We have prepared three copies of these things. The third copy is reserved for you to deal with various emergencies."

"Then, Xiao Han will calculate the time of the second explosion and hit the manhole cover hard again!"

Chen Chutai raised his hand.

"Say." Su Yi said.

"Master Geng, do the manhole covers have to be opened? Is there any other way to do it?" Chen Chutai asked, "Didn't we buy a hacksaw blade?"

"The sawing is too slow, there is no time!" Su Yi shook his head, "And it will continue to make a sound. It is so quiet at night, the sound will be obvious, and the risk of exposure is very high."

"I carefully inspected the iron frame and lock welded on the manhole cover. It seems that no one has touched it for a long time." Su Yi further explained, "It is unrealistic to use a hacksaw. If you want to open the lock, you can't reach that far." Far; so the only way is to force it away."

"The steel frame is fixed to the ground with steel nails and wooden wedges, and it has become somewhat loose due to its age, so it is not a big problem to knock it open. Because I was injured, I did not dare to use too much force, so I just looked at the small Han can knock it open in one or two blows."

Chen Chutai nodded to express his understanding.

Su Yi continued: "The next step is the third step of the plan. After you launch two explosives, retreat immediately! We have prepared several plans for the retreat route. You will adapt accordingly when the time comes."

"Remember, your mission is to give Xiao Han and I a chance to sneak in. As soon as the second explosive is launched, the mission of the four of you is completed. Retreat immediately. You can't wait for more than a second!" Su Yi said When he came to this sentence, he deliberately emphasized his tone and his expression was very serious, "Zhe Peng soldiers responded very quickly. Although they can't fly planes at night, they have cars and motorcycle teams!"

"So, as soon as the second explosion occurs, you must leave immediately. Before the Japanese catch up with you, rush to Xiaoxigou and get into the forest. Once there, you will be temporarily safe with the help of the complex terrain. From here It's more than five miles to Xiaoxigou, and it will take you at least ten minutes to get there at your fastest speed. These ten minutes are just a race against death, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Hua Kezhi and Chen Chutai said in unison, nodding in unison with serious expressions.

Su Yi continued: "The next thing is up to Xiao Han and me. After you are out of danger, rush to Ye Baishou. We will rush directly to Ye Baishou to meet you."

Chen Chutai raised his hand again.

"Go on." Su Yi said.

"Mr. Geng, what should we do with this cannon? Should we destroy it and carry it away?" He pointed at the conscienceless cannon, "If the Japanese find out about this thing and learn how to use it, won't they have more cannons?"

Su Yi laughed and shook his head: "No need, the Japanese will never learn this. This weapon has high limitations and is very dangerous. Didn't I just tell you a lot of precautions? If you don't operate it well, you will die. Do you think the Japanese will use such a dangerous thing?"

He walked forward, squatted down and patted the gasoline barrel, and said with emotion: "This thing is the poor worker and peasant cannon."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Chutai's eyes shrank suddenly, and then quickly returned to normal, smiling and saying: "This name is not good."

Su Yi turned around and smiled at him: "Then you can think of a name for it."

"Kezhi, after Xiao Han and I leave, you will be the person in charge of the four of you." Su Yi said to Hua Kezhi.

Hua Kezhi was startled and said hurriedly: "Why don't we let Xiao Luo come?"

"Luo Yu can't do it." Su Yi shook his head, "It's settled."

"Okay, I will definitely not let you down, Master Geng!" Hua Kezhi said seriously.

Next, Su Yi and Yi Xiantian prepared the things they would carry with them after sneaking in, and packed the clean clothes and shoes to change.

After being busy for a while, Luo Yu and Sun Fengming also came back.

After checking the carbon powder they had made and making sure it was okay, Su Yi and Hua Kezhi checked their watches and turned to leave.

The two still followed the original route, went around the other side of the river from the downstream of the glacier, and then used the cotton wool from the untied quilt to quietly lurk at the entrance of the sewer pipe.

Then Su Yi was inside and Yi Xiantian was outside. After passing the things they carried through the gap in the dismantled fence, Yi Xiantian filled a bag of snow with a cloth bag on the spot.

The two had completed all the preparations, and then each carried part of the things and crawled inside.

Su Yi had already cleaned the pipes last time, so the whole journey was smooth and there were no obstacles.

But Yixiantian couldn't stand the stench and vomited almost every few meters he walked.
