Chapter 294 There is no way for blessing or misfortune, only people call it upon themselves
Under the cover of night, the cultural relics train slowly left Peiping.
Xiang Chu inspected the cultural relics and returned to his box.
He turned on the radio and pulled out the list of sacrifices of the elite special forces.
After the Battle of Peiping, 20 operatives died.
Xiang Chu looked at the list, feeling sad, and couldn't help muttering to himself:
"In the end, we can get some money to provide relief to the families of these comrades."
The door of his box was not closed, and Liu Zhengxiong came in carrying a bottle of wine and a roast duck. Seeing that he was unhappy with the list, he comforted him, "Boy! These days, there are always casualties in the war. Don't think too much."
Xiang Chu put away the list and nodded, "Having said that, as their leader, I still want to get more compensation for their orphans."
Liu Zhengxiong put the roast duck and wine on the table, poured him a glass of wine, and said helplessly: "You are not a bank owner, where can you get the money?"
Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "Did you buy this wine and roast duck?"
"No! It was sent by a fellow from the Beijing Intelligence Station."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled, picked up the cup and was about to drink it all in one gulp.
Xiang Chu snatched the cup from his hand and spilled it on the ground.
Liu Zhengxiong was extremely shocked. He looked at the ground and found that there was no smoke coming out of the poisoned wine as described in the play. He could not help but scolded, "You kid! You are too suspicious."
"Lao Liu! Do you know the man at the Beijing Intelligence Station? How dare you eat the food he sent you?"
Xiang Chu said coldly, taking out a silver needle, a bottle of potion, Madam Xu's sword, etc.
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "I don't know him. He said that this is to repay you for saving his life, and he wanted me to enjoy it with you."
Xiang Chu examined it carefully and said with a wry smile, "That man is a Japanese spy. He put poison in the wine and roast duck respectively. If we eat or drink one, we will definitely die."
"what?!"
Liu Zhengxiong was stunned.
Xiang Chu opened the window and threw all the wine, roast duck, cups, etc. out.
Liu Zhengxiong said in fear: "Leader! I'm so sorry, I was too careless."
"We are agents. If we are not careful, we may die. Be careful."
Xiang Chu instructed and took out the Peking duck and Erguotou bought by Li Tong from his backpack.
He put the roast duck on the table, handed Liu Zhengxiong a bottle of Erguotou, and said with a smile:
"Lao Liu! Let's just eat what we bought ourselves."
Liu Zhengxiong took the Erguotou and nodded:
"Leader! I will definitely remember this lesson in the future."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "You are also benefiting from me. The devils want me dead all the time. Come on, do it!"
He opened the bottle cap and clinked glasses with him, drinking and chatting with him while eating roast duck, looking very comfortable.
Little did he know that a major robbery targeting the cultural relics train and a conspiracy to assassinate him were quietly unfolding at Baoniugu, at the junction of three provinces, in the conspiracy between Japanese spy Sano Nakayoshi and mountain bandit Sun Dalong.
Sano Nakayoshi was a close friend of Doihara Kan'ei and also a "China expert".
He changed his name to Zuo Zhongyi, a Chinese businessman, and arrived at the top of Baoniu Peak in advance, and revealed the information that the cultural relics train would pass by the foot of the mountain to Sun Dalong.
Moreover, he offered a high price to purchase these cultural relics and paid a sky-high deposit of thirty gold bars in one go.
Sun Dalong was blinded by money and patted his chest and said, "Mr. Zuo! Don't worry, I, Sun Dalong, will bring 300 brothers down the mountain right away, and will definitely hijack the train and hand over all the cultural relics to you."
Sanonakayoshi was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Thank you, Boss. I will go back to get the money, bring all the people and vehicles, and then we will exchange the money and the goods at the foot of the mountain."
"Refreshing! Haha!"
Sun Dalong laughed loudly, waved his hand and shouted,
"Brothers! Follow me down the mountain and do something big."
"it is good!"
All the minions obeyed the order in unison.
The cottage lawyer hurried forward and advised: "Boss! The cultural relics belong to the government. What if they are robbed and the government soldiers surround and suppress them?
Besides, the Shanzhai is not short of money now. They just kidnapped ten wealthy children from Feixian and Yixian and got a ransom of over a million. They don’t need it.”
Sun Dalong shouted, "What do you mean you don't need to? I haven't robbed a train for a long time. My hands have been itching for a long time. What if there are a group of foreign women and rich ladies on the train? Wouldn't it be great for you brothers?"
Sano Nakayoshi said hurriedly, "Yes! There are a large number of foreign beauties, rich ladies and young ladies on the cultural relics train."
When Sun Dalong heard this, he shouted, "Brothers! Let's go."
He put two revolvers on his waist and ran out of the gathering hall like the wind.
When the minions heard this, they also became excited and rushed down the mountain in a noisy manner.
The village master looked at the empty Juyi Hall and sighed:
"Baoniugu Village is about to be destroyed."
Sanonakayoshi smiled and said, "Master! The sky is about to change, and your cottage will never be finished."
The cottage lawyer was more knowledgeable than Sun Dalong and asked in confusion: "Mr. Zuo! What do you mean by this?"
"It's meaningless! I'm leaving now."
Sano Nakayoshi smiled mysteriously and ran out of the gathering hall.
His goal has been achieved and there is no need to stay here any longer.
On the Jinpu Line, the cultural relics train is running southward.
Xiang Chu lay on the bed, listening to the "clang! clang!" sound of the train.
Needless to say, the sound is extremely regular and remains the same at the same speed and road conditions.
Suddenly, he heard that the interval between the sounds was not right.
He got up hurriedly, rushed out of the compartment and went straight to the driver's cab of the train's traction locomotive.
He shouted, "Driver! Stop the car! Stop the car!"
When the train driver saw that it was him, he immediately braked and said anxiously:
"Sir! What happened?"
"The tracks ahead have been torn apart. Quick! Open the door."
Xiang Chu said anxiously, leaning close to the copper microphone and shouting,
"Elite special forces, take up your weapons, get out of the car immediately and prepare for battle."
After saying this, he ran to his box and picked up the sniper rifle.
He pocketed all the bullets, opened the window and rushed out.
According to the train timetable, this is a mountainous area where three provinces meet, with hills on both sides of the train tracks.
At the turn of spring and summer, the rainfall increased. It was a night of continuous drizzle and it was pitch black all around.
Xiang Chu ran to a high place, followed the railroad tracks, and looked ahead at the train.
But I saw a tiny flame flickering about two hundred meters away.
Needless to say, there were quite a few people smoking and waiting quietly on both sides of the railway tracks.
Xiang Chu thought to himself: "I don't care who you are, I will kill you if you fall into my hands."
At this time, the carriage door opened and the elite special forces rushed off the train.
Xiang Chu shouted loudly: "Brothers! The target is 200 meters ahead. Kill!"
"kill!"
The elite special forces shouted in unison.
Xiang Chu suddenly pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle towards the area where the tiny flames were most densely concentrated.
"Bang!"
The whistling sound of bullets broke the quiet night.
"what--!"
A scream and a panicked voice came from the front.
Xiang Chu had absolutely no idea that his shot had killed the leader of Baoniugou.
However, he heard the voices and realized that they were a gang of bandits, so he shouted:
"Brothers! Kill these bandits."
"Yes!"
The elite commandos leapt up the hill and followed him toward the bandits.
Xiang Chu took out a signal gun and shot the bandit in the head.
In an instant, the light from the signal gun illuminated the bandits ahead.
The bandits are good at robbing ordinary people, and they are also okay at fighting against local troops.
When encountering weapons such as submachine guns, sniper rifles, rifles, grenades, and hand grenades, the super-powerful elite special forces will be completely defeated.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of bandits were knocked down by the powerful firepower.
With the boss dead, everyone immediately fled.
Xiang Chu led the elite special attack team to the side of the torn railroad track. Liu Zhengxiong grabbed a wounded bandit and yelled:
"Tell me! Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
The bandits begged for mercy: "Please spare our lives, sir! We are from the nearby Baoniugu Mountain. We came down the mountain to rob the cultural relics train, but we didn't expect to run into you."
Xiang Chu asked, "Where is your boss?"
The bandit cried and said, "Sir! Just now, when the gun was fired, our leader was shot dead."
Liu Zhengxiong laughed and said, "Section Chief! Your marksmanship is amazing. You were able to kill the bandit leader with one shot in the pitch darkness."
"Stop it!"
Xiang Chu waved his hand, thought for a moment, and ordered, "Old Liu! You take the 3rd squad to guard the train and help the conductor repair the tracks. I will lead people up the mountain to kill these bandits. We can't let them do evil here anymore."
"Okay! Be careful."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded.
Xiang Chu ordered loudly: "Team 1, 2! Bring the injured bandits and follow me up the mountain!"
"Yes!"
The members of Teams 1 and 2 responded in unison.
Good fortune and misfortune have no doors, they are brought upon oneself!
The bandits never expected that their attempt to rob the mountain would lead to them being robbed by the other side instead.
Xiang Chu led the elite special forces team into the mountain stronghold and found that they were full of extremely evil criminals.
Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy.
Finally, he swept away all the money of the village and set it on fire.
