mountain chase

Now that the location of Fourth Master Qiao has been determined, the tunnel excavation work has a goal.However, up to now, none of them had seen Fourth Master Qiao.Even if the tunnel is dug, how to open the mouth, how to go up to save people, how to provide support, what is the escape route... These are a lot of things that need to be calculated over and over again.

but……

None of these things can be done.

Because, the premise of all this is that they met Fourth Master Qiao—even though the possibility of Fourth Master Qiao being here is almost [-]%!

"What's going on..." From sitting to right, from right to left.All the old men in the room are full of bitter faces - there is no way, until now, they have not found a plan to sneak into the yard.

"Dachuan, what's the date?" Suddenly, Datou, who was sitting on the edge of the table, raised his head and asked.

"What date?" Wang Dachuan thought for a while, "Is it January [-]th or [-]th..."

"Isn't this..." Datou calculated, "Isn't this the beginning of spring!"

Seeing Datou being so excited, Wang Dachuan was even more puzzled, "It's almost the beginning of spring, but what does this have to do with what we're discussing now?"

"Of course it has something to do with it!" Datou said loudly: "The Japanese, like us Chinese, have the beginning of spring. And every year when they are in the beginning of spring, they have sacrificial activities, such as beating drums and dancing ghosts." (Note [-])

"You mean..." Narrowing his eyes, Wang Dachuan looked at the big head.

"Yes! It's just for this time!" Datou continued: "I think this kind of occasion is quite important in traditional Japanese festivals, so Noda must go back. And there will be bright Japanese soldiers who will also participate in the performance that day. Actors, must The guards, and the soldiers who maintain the order of the team... I think that day must be the time when the Noda house's defense personnel are the most lax and the least crowded!"

"Okay! If that's the case, then we plan to find someone on that day." Wang Dachuan agreed.Then he asked another man, "What about the tunnel? How many have been opened?"

"It's less than 50 meters to the bottom of the Noda house. Because I'm afraid the people above will find out, so now the brothers don't dare to use too much force, and the progress has slowed down a lot."

"That's enough, don't worry." Wang Dachuan thought about it, "There are still a few days before Lichun. At this speed, we must be able to dig under the Noda house on that day. As for the following route, I have to wait until that day." Let's determine the exact location after confirming the fourth master's position."

"Well, listen to you, brother."

"Okay, then let's study the escape route now. It's good that this person can be rescued, but he must be able to get out of Nanjing City alive!"

"That's a big problem, too."

Several men around nodded, and everyone gathered together again, looking at the map of Nanjing City spread on the table.

February [-]nd.

That night, in the underground tunnel of the small courtyard where Wang Dachuan lived, the lights were on all night.

February [-]rd.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Dachuan stooped as usual to deliver two baskets of coal.

At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone sat together and had a quiet dinner with braised chicken.

at night.

Three in the morning.

Wang Dachuan was fully armed, and was hidden in a tree 50 meters behind Noda's house like a corpse, motionless.

The day is getting brighter.

Today is not a good day.Maybe it's still too early, there is a thick layer of mist all around, the damp air, with the smell of stone dust in the ruins, a bit like the feeling of moldy quilt in the closet.

When the sky just dawned, there was already movement in the house.

The lights were turned on one by one, and the number of people gradually increased, and the voice gradually reached Wang Dachuan.

And at this time, Wang Dachuan's fingers were tightly clasped on the tree trunk - he couldn't help being excited!However, he could feel that he was extremely calm.

Yes, Wang Dachuan felt that his blood was about to boil, but his heart still seemed to be beating at around 70 beats per minute.This contradictory sense of disobedience made Wang Dachuan feel an indescribable joy!

Another three hours or so passed.

The door of the mansion opened.

Squinting—in order not to be noticed, Wang Dachuan didn’t bring binoculars. He could only vaguely see a group of people in khaki military uniforms coming out. The person in the middle—is definitely Ichiro Noda! ! !

Time passed by minute by minute.

Without blinking his eyes, Wang Dachuan watched the three Japanese military vehicles carrying Noda drive out of the gate.At the same time, an estimated 100 soldiers gathered in the big courtyard of the house. After the entire team was formed, they also set off at a trot.

Sure enough, it was the same as what the big head said!

Wang Dachuan secretly let out a breath.In this case, the time for substitutions and stalking must be much less!

Ten fifteen.

The soldier on the right guarding the back door was already yawning for the third time.

"Hey, hey! Be careful to be seen by Second Lieutenant Sato!" A soldier next to him gave him a sidelong glance.

"Ah..." Blinking, the soldier sighed, "Anyway, General Noda is not here, so nothing will happen. Besides, the whole of Nanjing is now ours. Who would dare to come here? Do you want to die? Haha... "

"What you said makes sense!" The soldier next to him laughed after thinking about it.

"Hey, hey...Yamamoto, Tanaka, what are you two laughing at? It's changed, it's changed!"

Suddenly, the back door opened, and two soldiers came out.

"I didn't say anything. Yamashita-kun, you are finally here! Sigh, I suffered from insomnia last night, and now I am very sleepy, so I will go back first..."

"Okay! Go back first!" The two smiled and nodded.After Yamamoto and the others went in, they took out the notebook in their pockets and recorded the time of changing defenses on it.

This is the time!

Wang Dachuan lightly threw out the stone that he had held in his hand for several hours.

"pat-"

"Who is it!" The two men immediately raised their heads, bowed their waists, and poked their heads to the left.

"Crack!" At that moment, Wang Dachuan shot, and two dart-like objects were inserted straight into the necks of the two people.

"Brother, there are still 2 hours and 40 minutes before the next replacement. It is conservatively estimated that the effect of my anesthesia bomb can only last for about 2 hours." The two guards took off their clothes and put them on themselves, "So you have to hurry! Otherwise, we won't be able to leave when they come."

"I know!" Wang Dachuan nodded, opened the door, poked his head left and right, and quickly slipped in.

Skillfully bypassing the garden and veranda, Wang Dachuan walked in through the back door of the western-style building as usual, but he did not go directly to the third floor, but carefully observed the position between the stairway and the kitchen, There are also corners and decorative cabinets.After staying for about ten seconds, Wang Dachuan walked along the stairs to a large vase standing on the side next to the handrail, and put a burden in it.Then he quickly put the clothes in the burden on himself - it was a set of work clothes for the servants in the house.

After getting dressed, Wang Dachuan came out from the corner unhurriedly and walked upstairs.

Fourth floor.

Take the ninth and tenth windows from the left, and the No.13 and fourteenth windows from the right.

The different curtain that day—the one that hung on these two windows.

Wang Dachuan was thinking silently in his heart, but his head was kept half-lowered, so that people could not feel peacekeeping, and because of the angle problem, it was difficult to see his face.

After walking to the middle of the corridor on the third floor, Wang Dachuan sharply saw soldiers holding hands on the left and right sides of the fourth floor.

How to do!

Squinting his eyes, Wang Dachuan kept walking forward at the same speed while thinking.

"Okay, you can go down."

Suddenly there was a small sound from above.

I don't quite understand... But the soldier on the fourth floor put a card-like thing in the hand of a servant, and the servant came down from the fourth floor.

pass? !

He hooked the corner of his mouth in a small arc.Wang Dachuan really felt that even God was taking care of him.

——Continued to move forward with an expression on his face.

two three four……

The seventh step.

His shoulder lightly brushed against that of the manservant.

miss each other again.

With his left hand, he had secretly stuffed the little card into his sleeve.

"Pass!"

"Yes..." Lowering his head, the only thing Wang Dachuan hopes now is that this passport should not be his real name...

"It's time to pass."

awesome! ! !

Already kneeling on the ground in his heart and cheering infinitely, Wang Dachuan accepted the card handed over by the soldier with both hands obediently.Continue to step carefully into the fourth floor.

Here a room has four windows.In other words - the third door!

Lowering his eyes, Wang Dachuan felt that the goosebumps all over his body had stood up, trembling and cheering...

Hold the handle and pull down hard.

"..."

The door opened silently.

Pushing open the door, a strange smell came to me.I can't tell what it smells like, it's not perfume or incense sticks...

It was dark inside the room, only a big screen could be seen.

Wang Dachuan walked in gently, and then slowly closed the door.

Four Lords...

Are you ok?
