Chapter 131 Risk of death to rescue
Chapter 131: Rising death to rescue
The next morning, it was just bright, and it was around 7 a.m.
Wu Shaoting planned not to sleep last night, but when it was almost early morning, he closed his eyes in a short while, and it was seven o'clock in a row. The winter morning was relatively late, but this does not mean that the city's search for the revolutionary party would be delayed. The success rate of the assault operation before dawn was very high, because people slept the most at dawn.
He sat up straight and rushed out of the dormitory without even washing his face.
As the New Year approaches, the official duties in the military camps are gradually evacuated. Early in the morning, the entire large yard of the officer dormitory is quiet and there are almost no people.
The cold air suddenly stimulated Wu Shaoting's brain, allowing him to wake up completely from the confused mood.
He quickly walked out of the yard and tried to choose a remote path to avoid letting others discover him. He originally thought about getting a war horse to ride into the city, so that it would be faster, but when he first arrived at the stable, he found that a groom had already gotten up here to feed the horses, and finally gave up.
After some twists and turns, he successfully left the military camp and was basically not discovered by anyone.
When he arrived at the nearby town, Wu Shaoting took off his armband and epaulette and lowered his military cap to prevent others from seeing his rank and face clearly, so as not to leave any clues to take advantage of. He called a rickshaw with a carport and asked him to quickly send him into the city.
After a few dozen minutes, when they arrived at the city gate, they suddenly found that the guards at the city gate had been strengthened. Moreover, these guards did not check on the people entering the city, but instead specifically found out the people who had been out of the city!
Seeing this, Wu Shaoting immediately realized something was wrong.
The purpose of checking out people from the city is to prevent suspects from escaping from the city. It seems that the fire battalion and patrol battalion have begun to take action.
He did not urge the rickshaw driver to enter the city quickly. If he had to enter the city quickly in the current situation, it would be easy to be suspicious. Who knew that something happened in the city and he kept drilling inside. Isn’t this the place without silver?
After entering the city, Wu Shaoting kept paying attention to the situation on the street.
Because it was almost the New Year, it was morning again, and there were not many pedestrians on the streets, which looked very deserted. Women had to be busy preparing New Year's goods, men were busy liquidating the profits for the year, and even children were not at the time to play. However, after walking several streets, they did not see any military alert, no patrols, no guards, and no scoldings.
Wu Shaoting tried his best to keep himself calm. No matter what the situation in Guangzhou City is now, he could only take one step at a time.
The rickshaw came to Shamian Street, then turned to an alley as instructed and stopped.
Wu Shaoting paid the money and watched the rickshaw leave, then immediately turned around and ran.
When he passed through this alley and came to the next door of Thirteen Street, he found that it was even more deserted, and there was not even the popularity of the city. The whole street seemed to be dead. He felt a little nervous, and an unknown feeling was brewing, as if the storm was coming.
Even so, he did not stop for a long time and quickly passed through the street and entered the alley opposite.
Soon, he turned to the familiar yard gate and knocked on the door in a hurry.
After waiting for a few minutes, the gate of the courtyard did not open, but a window facing outward on the second floor of the small building in the courtyard opened a gap.
Wu Shaoting looked up and shouted quickly: "Open the door quickly, there is something important."
After waiting for a while, the gate of the courtyard finally opened. Standing behind the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pajamas. He knew Wu Shaoting and asked in confusion: "Mr. Wu, why did you come so early? Is there anything wrong?"
Wu Shaoting hurriedly threw out: "Let's talk about it later." Then he squeezed into the yard.
He could finally breathe a little relieved now. It seems that although the city gate has increased its defense, the fire battalion and patrol battalion have not started to take action. Perhaps it is still conducting research and arrangement of the encirclement strategy.
What a lucky one! I hope I will be even more lucky next! He prayed secretly in his heart.
The middle-aged man immediately closed the courtyard gate, his face still looked solemn. He had already felt from Wu Shaoting that something bad was about to happen.
"Mr. Zhan Tang, don't Mr. Zhongkai and the others live here, right?" Wu Shaoting asked immediately.
"Mr. Zhongkai is currently living in the guest room next to the yard, and Mr. Zhan Tang has another residence in the city. Lord Wu, what happened?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously.
"This place has been exposed. The only one who betrays you is Chen Lianbai. The city gate has begun martial law. I promptly notify everyone here to transfer immediately. The official army may find this place at any time. In addition, you must destroy all the key documents and don't bring any other heavy things!" Wu Shaoting said quickly.
"What? Here... is it exposed? Lord Wu, you, won't you joke?" The other party looked disbelieving.
"Go quickly and don't be fucking lingering. I didn't sleep all night and rushed over to notify you. Do you think I'm overeating because I'm overeating?" Wu Shaoting yelled out of his temper. He hated that he had to ask so many irrelevant nonsense at critical moments, which was simply a waste of time.
The middle-aged man was startled and immediately believed it, so he ran into the house immediately. After entering the house, he shouted in Chaozhou dialect. Then, the whole yard woke up from his sleep. Five or six young people ran out while dressing. Not long after, the doubts of women, girls and children came.
Wu Shaoting didn't want to stand here, so he quickly ran to the second floor of the building and walked along the corridor to the room at the end.
He pushed open the door of the room and saw a young man dragging a box out from under the bed. After the box was opened, there were three rifles and two different models of pistols.
The young man looked back and looked Wu Shaoting, and asked anxiously: "Comrade, do you know how to use a gun?"
Wu Shaoting was so amazed and crying. Didn’t you see me wearing a military uniform? He quickly reminded him: “Don’t bring a rifle, just a pistol.”
The young man was stunned and asked, "This..."
Wu Shaoting said seriously: "When you can use a rifle, it means we have no way to escape. Now we want to move. You are taking a rifle in the city. Isn't that going to seek death? Hurry up, don't bring big items, just silver and banknotes, and even big gold and silver jewelry are thrown here."
The young man suddenly realized, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay."
Wu Shaoting crawled out of the window in the room and came to the next yard. At this time, the yard also heard the movement just now, and several people were running into the well to look around. He quickly ran down the stairs and asked, "Where is Mr. Zhongkai?"
A man pointed to the side room and said, "Mr. Zhongkai lives in the guest room. What happened?"
While walking there, Wu Shaoting repeated his words and asked the people in the yard to pack up their things immediately.
When everyone heard this, their faces became nervous, and they did not dare to stop for a moment, and began to act one after another.
Wu Shaoting just arrived in front of Liao Zhongkai's door. The door had been opened. Liao Zhongkai looked haggard and his mental state was not very good, but his movements were very quick to button the shirt.
"Zhenzhi, why is it exposed here?" he asked in a deep voice. He vaguely heard the conversation outside while wearing clothes, but he didn't hear it thoroughly.
"It's Chen Lianbai, he had already reported the news half a month ago. Mr. Zhongkai, don't clean up anything now, and move it immediately. Now that the city gates are blocked, it's better to hide in the concession first." Wu Shaoting said seriously.
"Chen Lianbo? How is this possible? We paid his first arms five days ago. If he wanted to betray us, he would be able to do it at that time. How could he have to wait until today?" Liao Zhongkai looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Mr. Zhongkai, time is tight now, I can explain to you on the way. Now we must leave immediately. In addition, we must also notify Mr. Zhantang," Wu Shaoting tried his best to make his tone look very calm, "As long as the people who were seen by Chen Lianbai that day must be transferred within today!"
Liao Zhongkai pondered for a while and finally nodded. He believed that Wu Shaoting would never harm him. Compared to Chen Lianbai, a businessman who works for foreigners, Wu Shaoting is of course more trustworthy.
Five minutes later, several revolutionary young men had already sorted out. They did not bring any luggage, but just carried a pistol and some money and were ready to go out. Others could not wait for the moment, and now they must get Liao Zhongkai out as soon as possible.
Wu Shaoting immediately asked everyone to cover Liao Zhongkai out of the yard. Before going out, he once again emphasized that he ordered the people who stayed to burn all the key documents, especially the contact information involving other members of the Tongmenghui, and must not fall into the hands of the government. The middle-aged man who opened the door for Wu Shaoting stayed, and he assured Wu Shaoting and Liao Zhongkai that he would handle it cleanly and let them leave quickly.
Liao Zhongkai looked embarrassed. He knew that the people who stayed were in danger, but there was no other way at the moment. He could only say take care of himself, and then walked out of the yard gate with a sigh.
As soon as he arrived at the alley outside, a person suddenly ran to the intersection of the alley. He was the one who had run out to keep watch. His face was nervous, and his forehead was sweating profusely, and he hurriedly said, "No, there are many officers and soldiers coming from the intersection of Shisanxing Street. They are blocking the road and cannot walk."
Everyone changed their expressions when they heard this. It seemed that Wu Shaoting had no false words. But now it is not the point that proves that these are no longer the focus. The officers and soldiers have begun to act. How should they get out?
Wu Shaoting looked calm. Although the situation was very urgent, the more he wanted to keep a clear mind to think. This was a habit he cultivated in practical training in the 21st century.
"Is there any other intersection? Let's talk about it if you leave Shamian Street for now." He asked quickly.
"You can walk in the opposite direction, but once you go out, you will be on the street, I'm afraid that there will be blocked there too." Someone said.
"Don't worry, go quickly. You two go ahead and explore the way, hurry!" Wu Shaoting ordered.
The two revolutionary troops immediately walked quickly in front of the road, and Wu Shaoting led Liao Zhongkai and others to follow.
After a few turns, I finally came out of the back of the alley. It was indeed a small street, but there were no people on the street at this moment, and it seemed that I was lucky.
Wu Shaoting said: "Go to the alley opposite the street, keep calm and don't be impulsive when encountering any situation."
Everyone nodded, then quickly walked through the street and entered an alley opposite.
At this moment, gunfire came from behind. At first, there were sporadic firepower, but it soon turned into fierce firefighting, and even a huge explosion occurred. Liao Zhongkai and others were shocked and turned around to look around. It was obvious that the place where they had previously hidden was being attacked by the government army.
"The fourth uncle and the others... something happened to them. My sister-in-law and grandma have not left yet!" a young man said sadly and angry.
"Stop looking, leave quickly. If you don't leave, everyone will be finished. Those comrades who are still in the yard will be sacrificed in vain. Remember, they are delaying time for us with their lives, and don't let their last efforts down!" Wu Shaoting scolded sternly.
"Zhenzhi said it is right, let's leave quickly. We will repay this hatred sooner or later!" Liao Zhongkai was also full of sadness. This sentence was almost said by him gritting his teeth.
Everyone had no choice but to continue walking quickly into this alley.
The people leading the way in front are very familiar with the terrain of this area and are traveling through the alley very quickly. Due to gunfire, people living here dare not go out, so they did not meet anyone along the way.
"Where is going out from here?" Wu Shaoting asked.
"It's the long dike when you go out. Walk a little further ahead to the West Pier." One person replied.
"We can get out by boat." Liao Zhongkai said hurriedly.
"No," Wu Shaoting decisively rejected, "When I entered the city this morning, the city gate had already begun to check out the people in the city. The government had already made preparations. There must be someone checking the wharf, station, and shopping malls. Your avatars must have been drawn overnight, and even if you want to get through it, there is a risk."
"What should we do?" Liao Zhongkai asked with a bad look on his face.
Wu Shaoting thought calmly for a while, mainly because he was not familiar with the terrain of Guangzhou, but he vaguely remembered in his mind that the south side of the Changdi of Guangzhou was the Xijiang River. The Xijiang River is the narrowest part of the river surface in the Pearl River Delta. With the industrial level of this era, a cross-river bridge should be built.
He immediately asked, "Is there a bridge to the south bank on the Changdi?"
The young man who had met before sighed and said, "There was a floating bridge connected by a small boat before. That time I thought of a way to transport sea salt. Now the floating bridge has been demolished long ago, but there are many small boats from fishermen who can cross the river by the river."
