Chapter 73 Pull it out!
Although there is no wind in the dark truck compartment, the temperature is extremely low. The most important thing is that there is no light at all. Staying for a little longer will make people feel extremely panicked.
The environment is depressing, and no one has the heart to speak.
After finally getting through the night, after the train passed Shanhaiguan, there was a trace of light that penetrated through the gaps in the cargo box. The few people in the carriage felt better.
Zheng Min and Xiao San'er were a little sick, so she opened a cargo box and vomited for a while. She was so listless that one leaned against Sister Feng, and the other shrank to Erlinzi, closing her eyes and holding her hard.
The space was too depressing, and the taste was not good, so Liu Chen felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, but he could still hold it back and tightened his cotton jacket on his body and leaned against the cargo box to rest.
The train stopped a few times in the middle, replenished water and coal, and set off again soon.
After the day, night came again. However, at this time, no one dared to close their eyes anymore, for fear that they would pass the unloading site by accident, which would delay major issues.
Every time the train slows down and enters the station, everyone lie down in the gap in the car door and looks out, and through the name of the station that flashes by to determine where the train has reached.
Huludao, Jinzhou, Linghai, Gou Bangzi, and familiar place names were left behind by the train, and finally the train passed Dahushan Station.
Everyone in the car suddenly became nervous. As soon as they left Dahushan Station, they each found a gap and looked out, fearing that they would miss the signals that might appear outside at any time.
Finally, three piles of fires lined up in rows appeared not far from the right side of the railway.
"It's here, Baibu! Hurry!" From the moment Sister Feng saw the fire, the tired look on her face completely disappeared.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Min quickly took out a large piece of white cloth from the package she was carrying.
Everyone started to do it together, stuffed the white cloth out through the gap in the car door as fast as possible, and then grabbed a corner tightly.
Outside the carriage, a pure white cotton cloth more than two meters long stretches with the wind, which is particularly conspicuous in the night.
"Look, look! There is a signal!"
Not far away on the hillside, a young soldier carrying an old sleeve suddenly shouted.
"Look, don't make a noise!" A middle-aged man wearing an old cotton jacket stopped the young man's screams.
At the same time, both eyes stared at the train passing by, and calmed down and began to count.
"One, two, three...six, seven, seven!" The middle-aged man understood the number, and the signal was the seventh carriage.
He quickly shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiao Ma! Send a signal, the seventh carriage!"
"Section 7! Understand!"
After repeating loudly, the young soldier raised the torch in his hand and waved it hard.
After the torches on the distant mountain also lit up, I started to draw circles with the torches. After drawing seven circles in one breath, I calmed down and waited for the response on the opposite mountain.
The train had passed, and the middle-aged man walked to the young soldier in a few steps. The two of them were nervously waiting for the feedback signal from the next observation point.
After waiting for a few seconds, the torches lit up in the distance began to circle. The two of them counted carefully without blinking.
He followed the words silently: "One circle, two circles, three circles...six circles, seven circles!"
"Xiao Ma, is it seven circles?" The middle-aged man blinked his eyes twice and asked without any confidence.
"Yes, it's seven laps, and one laps is not bad!"
The young soldier replied immediately.
"When you are right, don't you reply to the signal!" The middle-aged man raised his leg and kicked the young man.
"Send it now, send it now!" The young soldier came to his senses and quickly held up the torch and drew the shape of "?" in the air twice.
On the distant mountain, another observer who had been waiting for a response confirmed the information, turned to his assistant and shouted: "Second Section 7! Send a signal to point No. 3!"
"Yes, the seventh carriage..."
After Dahu Mountain, it all goes to Donggaoli, and there are high and low hills and gullies along the way.
However, the accurate information about the carriage loaded with Western medicine was passed by thirteen observation points and in a very short time, it was transmitted to the planned unloading location.
At the foot of the originally dark mountain, with an order, more than 20 or 30 figures quickly emerged from their respective shelter points.
Without saying a word, he picked up the prepared firewood bundles and quickly built them next to the roadbed.
Twenty meters long and three-layer firewood stacks were arranged in less than ten minutes to form. Then a layer of soft mat was pressed on it.
"Report, the unloading point is built!" A soldier stood at attention and reported.
"The train is ten miles away, and the teams are ready to pick it up!" A loud voice sounded in the darkness.
———
Liu Chen was a little excited at this time and kept hearing about the Communist guerrillas outside the pass. But no one could tell what kind of team the "guerrillas" were.
I just heard that the discipline of that army seems to be very strict.
If anyone in the team wants to do something bad, the officials know that no matter whether they are close to them or not, they will be pulled out and shot without saying a word.
Like Liu Chen, Baoshun is actually looking forward to it, wanting to see the true appearance of the guerrillas. He has always occupied the largest gap in the car door and looked out hard.
"Someone, somebody!"
Baoshun suddenly discovered that two figures suddenly appeared in the darkness and ran along the carriage, and suddenly screamed excitedly.
"Silently, embarrassing!" Liu Chen pulled the treasure back from the car door.
"Sister Feng, Sister Feng! Are you inside?" Dong Cheng gasped and entered the car through the crack of the door.
"Here, this is the festival!" Sister Feng looked excited, put her mouth against the gap, and shouted with all her strength.
"Stay away from the door and let's open the door immediately!" Dong Cheng's voice soon came into the carriage again.
Without hello, the few people leaning against the car door quickly retreated. Soon, they heard the sound of people climbing onto the car body outside.
"Damn it, you're climbing up without a rope?!" Baoshun couldn't help but shout when he heard the movement was not coming from the top of his head.
Liu Chen couldn't help it, frowned and said, "The car hasn't slowed down yet, it's too dangerous!"
Sister Feng is also worried.
Although she didn't know the place outside, she could feel that the current train was in and out of the pre-disclosed unloading location.
In Dong Cheng's description, the expected location is very similar to the place where the medicine is loaded and boarded, and they are sections of roads where the train cannot travel quickly.
But now, although it is in a hilly area, the railway is very straight and the train does not slow down at all.
Just as everyone was wondering, a crisp sound of impact sounded outside the car door.
It sounds like someone is using something like a hammer to smash the carriage lock.
Soon, the sound of knocking and smashing sounded one after another, until the fifth sound, and the lock of the car opened in response.
The train speed is very fast at this time, and the inertia generated instantly causes the sliding door of the car to slide backwards.
But the car door was only opened for a small gap and stopped retreating.
Liu Chen took advantage of the moonlight outside and found that the lock nose was stuck on the keyholes on both sides of the car door.
Half of a young face was exposed in the crack of the door, looking anxiously at the stuck locked nose.
I used my hand to pick it up, but I found that I couldn't move at all. I wanted to put the hammer head into the gap and knock it upwards, but the hammer head was too big and I couldn't stretch it in at all.
"Close the door and pull it out!"
