Chapter 199: Old Wang Pulling Out the Railroad Spikes
As soon as he entered the restaurant, Yin Xinjun felt a little regretful.
Most of the tables inside were packed with people.
The restaurant, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly became completely silent.
The key point is that dozens of extremely unfriendly eyes swept over.
This made Yin Xinjun's scalp tingle. He was so focused on getting closer to scout out the station's environment that he forgot he was still wearing a kimono.
He is not afraid of others using knives. He probably has no rivals in knife fighting.
He was afraid of being shot in the back! After all, no matter what, he was just a mortal and could not stop a bullet.
Under the attentive greeting of the waiter,
Yin Xinjun gritted his teeth and sat down at a small table closest to the door. He ordered a dish of pork stewed with vermicelli, a dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes, and a pot of liquor.
The room slowly became noisy again.
He heard a slight sound.
"What are you afraid of? They're not spies. Don't be nervous!"
"How do you know he's not a spy?"
"Have you ever seen a spy wearing a kimono?"
As the food and drinks were served,
Yin Xinjun began to drink by himself.
Drink slowly while listening to the noise in the station!
In broad daylight, the effect of eavesdropping is the best, and it is also the easiest to identify the enemy and the enemy, and to distinguish between soldiers and civilians.
Unlike at night, many people are no longer in working state, the valuable information in conversations has dropped significantly, and many people have gone to bed early to rest and make villains.
There were about 60 Japanese devils and about 20 policemen stationed in the train station. This was the result of Yin Xinjun's eavesdropping.
Just now when he was walking outside, he had already observed the buildings in the train station clearly.
Two bunkers and a row of wooden houses!
At this time, Yin Xinjun heard a faint conversation again.
"Since they are not spies, we have not been exposed yet. Let's continue the operation tonight!"
"Shh, there are a lot of people outside, don't talk about this! Let's talk about it when we get home!"
"Well, this year is the happiest year I've had in recent years!"
"Let me tell you, it's not just Hailin. From what I've learned, thousands of Japanese soldiers have died in Ning'an County and Dongjing Town recently!"
"That's awesome! Come on, drink!"
Yin Xinjun smiled, it turned out to be an underground party conspiracy, he couldn't help but look towards the source of the voice,
At the innermost corner, at a table, three men were drinking and their faces were red.
One of them was a burly man wearing a dog-skin hat and a gray coat. His sharp eyes swept over and met Yin Xinjun's.
Yin Xinjun quickly looked away and poured himself another glass of wine.
After finishing his meal in the tavern, Yin Xinjun walked out and started walking towards the Japanese garrison.
Several men in the restaurant also left together after their meal. These three men were all railway maintenance workers at Hailin County Railway Station!
The leader is Wang Wenyong, an underground member of the Chinese Communist Party. Since the Hailin County Party organization suffered a devastating blow two years ago, Wang Wenyong began to hide silently in accordance with the instructions of his superiors.
During his undercover period, he continued to spread revolutionary ideas among his fellow workers and secretly developed two other workers.
In the past few days, as the anti-Japanese activities in Mudanjiang reached a climax, Wang Wenyong, who heard the news, was overjoyed and determined to do something to respond to the anti-Japanese wave.
The three people who were on night shift last night thought hard all night and finally came up with a solution, which was to pull out the railroad spikes!
Railroad spikes are used to fix rails and require special tools to tighten and pry them off. Once all the spikes on a rail are pulled out, it is easy for a train to derail and overturn when passing by.
They turned a few corners and soon arrived at the west of the city and walked into a wooden house. This was Wang Wenyong's home.
Although the three of them were on night shift, they were still very excited when thinking about tonight's action and were not sleepy at all.
Wang Wenyong went to boil a pot of water and returned to the table.
A young man in his 20s said,
"Brother Yong, we are still on duty tonight, but we don't know when the train will pass!"
Wang Wenyong laughed.
"Xiao Mu, you are quite smart. I have already handled this matter this morning. When I got off work, I went to see Chief Inspector Wu of the Railway Police. He told me that a freight train would pass through the station at 8 o'clock in the evening!"
The puppet Manchukuo was a police state with policemen in every corner. For example, Hailin County had a public security police station, a forest police force, and a railway police force, which were spread across every town and group tribe in the county!
There is a saying that the most typical manifestation of human evil is that one can get a lot of pleasure from torturing others!
This was the mentality behind many people acting as fake police officers at that time!
"That's great, Brother Yong, I have hidden a set of crowbars and wrenches! I'll take them with me when I patrol the road tonight!" A short-haired guy next to him said happily!
The water boiled. Wang Wenyong stood up and poured a bowl of water for each person. He took out his pipe, found the tobacco, lit it, and took a few puffs.
"Brother Yong, tell us, is there any new development in the Anti-Japanese United Army recently?"
"I heard from my friend in the Tokyo Town Passenger Transport Section that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces attacked the barracks there again in the past two days and killed hundreds of devils!"
"Why are there so many good news recently? I couldn't even imagine it before!"
Wang Wenyong said with a smile,
"It's not just Mudanjiang. There's also constant activity in Weihe. The Anti-Japanese United Army recently attacked the railway line again, blowing up a bunker and reportedly destroying more than 200 meters of railway!"
"Brother Yong, I heard that a devil appeared recently and issued a skinning order, which means that those who work for the Japanese must skinnify within a certain period of time, otherwise they will be killed without mercy. Many people have been killed, and we have to skinnify quickly too!"
"Don't worry, that's for the police and puppet soldiers, it has nothing to do with us coolies!"
"No wonder. I recently heard that two people in the police force ran away quietly. They were so scared that they quit their jobs!"
"I know. That Chief Inspector Wu said something to me this morning. He said that he had parents to take care of and children to take care of, and he didn't want to be a policeman anymore. He really had no choice because of life. I guess he guessed my identity and thought that I could say a few good words for him in the future!"
The more they talked, the more excited they became.
Wang Wenyong finally said,
"Everyone go to the kang and sleep for three hours, otherwise you won't have the energy to work at night!"
The three people were lying on the kang and finally closed their eyes. They didn’t know how long they slept when they were suddenly kicked awake by the sound of the door!
Wang Wenyong got up and looked.
There were several policemen standing at the door, escorting a man who was tied up. It was Sheriff Wu who had passed the information to him in the morning!
A police officer said,
"Wow, all three of you are here. Haha, Wang Wenyong, come with us!"
Wang Wenyong pretended to be calm and asked,
"Captain Liu, what's going on? We haven't even started the night shift yet."
"Why are you pretending to be confused? That guy surnamed Wu actually went through my drawers today. Luckily I found out and reported it to the captain. Now he's confessing everything!"
This police captain surnamed Liu is responsible for the security of the train. He will be notified in advance every time a train arrives at the station!
A look of despair appeared on Wang Wenyong's face!
