Chapter 208: Action 2
Lao Zhou turned around and opened the door. The moment the soldier at the door turned around, a dagger pierced into the soldier's chin. The soldier's body softened and was caught by Lao Zhou and dragged into the room.
Lao Zhou pushed the man down against the wall, then took out a handkerchief, wet it with the sake on the table, removed the bulb of the desk lamp on the table, covered the bulb with the wet handkerchief, and hid himself.
Three minutes later, water drops fell into the interface of the light bulb, and then a spark burst out. The next second, the wires in the entire building were short-circuited, but the searchlight in the sentry box was still on.
Old Zhou pricked up his ears and heard the sound of a door opening in the corridor. Someone was asking why the power was out. He immediately opened the door, leaned out of the darkness, and gave a direct order:
"What's going on? Arrange someone to check it out and call the power supply bureau!"
"Yes, Chief Miyata!"
Someone in the distance responded.
Obviously they didn't realize that the person who was speaking was not Miyata, but because the other party appeared in Section Chief Miyata's office, they assumed it was Miyata.
After Lao Zhou closed and locked the door, he immediately stood in front of the window waiting to pick up Mudan. He did not dodge the searchlight, and the soldiers in the sentry box did not notice anything unusual.
At this time, the three senior generals living on the top floor had already rested, so the guards at the door did not disturb their superiors. Even when there was a power outage, they still stood firmly at the door and only arranged for one soldier to inquire about the situation.
Lianyi, dressed in black, had already arrived under the big tree. She pressed her whole body against the wall and imitated the cat's meow.
Aunt Mei, who had been waiting outside anxiously, immediately poked her head out from her hiding place and did some reconnaissance after hearing the signal. After making sure that no one was nearby, she immediately ran to the outer wall. She only had three minutes because the team patrolling the outer wall would soon return.
She put the black cloth bag in her hand on the ground and tied the pocket tightly with it several times. She tied the other half of the rope to the little squirrel Chaoyang and then put it on the ground.
Chaoyang sniffed around and pulled at the rope tied to him. Then, anxious Aunt Mei pushed him, and he used all four paws to climb up the wall, taking the rope with him to find his owner.
Lianyi felt a small thing fall on her shoulder and then sniff her cheek. She knew that Chaoyang was coming. She raised her hand to hold the little squirrel, untied the rope that tied it, held one end of the rope, stretched out her arm, drew an arc, and easily pulled the black bag outside the wall in.
Aunt Mei saw the bag fly in and heard footsteps, so she immediately retreated back to where she had been hiding.
Lianyi stuffed Chaoyang with a lot of roasted pine nuts, then pushed his little butt and pointed outside, meaning for him to leave quickly.
Chaoyang puffed out his cheeks, looking somewhat unhappy, but he still stuck close to Lianyi, and with all four claws flying, he climbed onto the wall and rushed out again.
The patrol captain had sharp ears. When he heard the sound of leaves rustling, he quickened his pace. When he passed by, he saw a small thing jumping down from the wall. He immediately pulled the bolt of his gun, but unfortunately, Chaoyang's four claws left an afterimage and scurried into the dark alley and disappeared.
"A rat that big?"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice.
"Can mice climb walls?"
"It's a big tail, it's not a mouse"
When the patrol leader saw that it was a false alarm, he put away his gun, reorganized his team, and continued patrolling.
Aunt Mei, who was hiding at this time, had sweat on her back. Fortunately, Chaoyang came out in time, otherwise it would have aroused the suspicion of the patrol soldiers. They would definitely search nearby. Her hiding place was not very secretive and she would definitely be discovered.
With a sigh of relief, Aunt Mei quietly retreated into the depths of the alley and headed towards the sniper point she had selected earlier.
Lianyi took the explosives, avoided the first searchlight, handed the thing to Lao Zhou, and then climbed in himself.
"Were you not discovered?"
The two asked each other in unison.
"No!"
Then they answered at the same time.
Then Lianyi swiftly put on Miyata's military uniform, and the two of them opened the door and walked out with the explosives.
Both of them were holding flashlights, Lao Zhou took the lead and pretended to check the situation.
Lao Zhou and Lianyi first went to the basement, where there were cells and interrogation rooms.
"Adjutant Moriyue!"
The cell guard immediately saluted.
"The power outage was so sudden. I was afraid something might have gone wrong here, so I came to take a look. You should all be alert!"
Old Zhou gave a lecture in a pretentious manner.
"Yes, sir!"
Lianyi followed behind and took a quick look. She felt that God was really helping them, because Japan had recently organized an evacuation and transferred many people. Almost all the prisoners in the dungeon had been killed or transferred away. Currently, there were only four soldiers, two guarding the door and two wandering around this floor.
Old Zhou patted the other man's shoulder with relief, and the next moment a small knife slashed across the other man's throat. The soldier subconsciously grabbed his neck and fell to the ground. The other man was also killed by Lianyi.
Then the two men began to install explosives at the designated location, and set the explosion time to half an hour later. On the way, they met the two Japanese soldiers who were patrolling the cells and were also killed.
"Hurry up! Twenty minutes left."
Lao Zhou reminded.
The two then went back to the first floor, each took three explosives, and then acted separately.
This time it went unusually smoothly because the first floor was not a key protected area and there was a guard at the door, so there were no patrolling soldiers.
After completing the task, the two returned to Miyata's office, opened the window, jumped out one after the other, felt their way to the wall, looked at the watches on their wrists in the moonlight, and counted the time.
"Boom!" After a loud bang, explosions sounded one after another. The four-story building suddenly burst into flames and then began to collapse.
Then a shrill alarm sounded, and the soldiers in the yard and the sentries at the door rushed towards the building.
"Walk!"
Lao Zhou immediately stood with his back against the wall, bent one foot forward, put his hands on his knees, and let Lianyi jump onto the wall first.
Lianyi didn't hesitate. She tied the rope that was used to tie the black bag around Lao Zhou's wrist. Without running up, she stepped on the other's knees and jumped onto the top of the wall.
After Lianyi stood firm, she gently pulled Lao Zhou up.
At this moment, a searchlight happened to shine over, illuminating the two figures on the wall, and bullets immediately flew over.
Lianyi and Lao Zhou turned around and jumped off the wall the moment the light came on. Although they avoided being shot, they could not rush into the alley opposite because of the searchlight and could only hide outside the wall.
With a "click", the searchlight went out. It was obvious that it was Aunt Mei's masterpiece.
The two men jumped up from the wall almost at the same time, rushed into the alley, and then separated again. They set up three sniper points.
At this time, the whole yard was in chaos, with the sounds of people putting out fires, calling for help, and gunshots mixed together.
The Kuomintang personnel who had been paying attention to the situation at the Japanese headquarters immediately notified the headquarters, and then took their men and slowly moved over to take advantage of the situation, and happened to meet the Japanese troops rushing back.
The Japanese believed that these people were the ones who blew up the headquarters, while the Kuomintang believed that these were the troops escorting supplies to evacuate early. The two sides immediately opened fire, and sparks flew and gunshots continued, breaking the tranquility of the night.
