Li Yunlong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "This guy Zhang Wanhe is simply too much. Didn't Brother Dalong hold an economics class? Why doesn't he ask others for it?"
Zhao Gang said: "Who makes us the subordinates? It is our discipline to turn over the seized money. But the money has not yet been in our hands, so let's delay it for a while."
If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come. Cao Cao is indeed the fastest man in the world.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others were discussing Zhang Wanhe, who had already arrived at the Mawushan base. It turned out that he was a little worried because the members of the Mawushan flying brigade preferred Mijin to Dayang.
Zhang Wanhe was very worried that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang would directly give the rice gold to the pilots, so he set off first and then sent a telegram to Li Yunlong and others.
After arriving at the base area, Zhang Wanhe started asking about the 100,000 meters of gold without making any small talk.
Li Yunlong was furious and said: "Old Zhang, you are like a ghost, why are you always staring at us? Let me ask you, if Brother Dalong doesn't get back this 100,000 meters of gold, will you find it?
Who’s going?”
Zhang Wanhe smiled and said: "Don't talk to me about this. Didn't Brother Dalong get it back? Don't tell me why I always talk to you. Who makes you so capable?"
Zhao Gang said: "Minister Zhang, let's discuss with you whether we can pay a little less this time? Look at how much our base expenses are, you also know this."
Zhang Wanhe said: "Commissioner Zhao Zheng, I have already considered this. I only ask you for 40,000 meters of gold this time. Isn't it too much? I am not just extending my hand to you this time. I also have a good friend."
I have news to tell you."
Li Yunlong curled his lips and said: "Old Zhang, what good news can you have? Besides asking for money, what you want is bad news."
Zhang Wanhe said: "I tell you, Li Yunlong, don't look down on others. I really brought good news this time."
Zhao Gang said: "Minister Zhang, what's the good news?"
Zhang Wanhe said: "I heard that there was news from the underground party in Beiping, saying that there was a batch of cultural relics and a lot of gold in Beiping, and the little devils wanted to transport it back to their country.
There are many people who have the idea of this batch of treasures, but I have informed you in advance that these treasures are so valuable. Whoever takes advantage of them already belongs to them."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang became interested and inquired in detail.
Zhang Wanhe didn't know much about the situation. He just heard about it. He suggested that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang directly ask Li Changshui, the enemy's Minister of Industry, to try to seize this task.
While they were discussing this matter, a telegram came from their superiors, saying that Li Changshui was coming to the Mawushan Mountain Base Area and had important tasks to explain.
Li Changshui came over quickly, and what he said was the same as what Zhang Wanhe said. Xu Dalong and others cooperated with the Peiping underground party organization to complete the rescue mission brilliantly, which left a deep impression on them.
When they heard the news that the Japanese army was going to transport the looted cultural relics and gold back to the country, they organized their own manpower to intercept the treasure. However, they thought twice and felt unsure, so they thought of Xu Dalong again and reported the situation to them.
The superior made a report.
The superior's first consideration was Xu Dalong, so he assigned the task to the Taiyue Military Region, and the commander sent Li Changshui to explain the task.
Although Xu Dalong and Wei Monk are not here now, the special operations brigade under them is not just a freeloader. Those squadron leaders and even a squad leader are all capable guys in their own way. Even if Xu Dalong and Wei Monk are not here, they have accomplished the task.
task ability.
After everyone discussed it, it was decided that Li Changshui would lead a special operations squadron to Peiping to carry out the mission of intercepting the Japanese army's treasure shipment.
Seeing that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang accepted this mission, Zhang Wanhe said with some pride: "How about it? Lao Li, Lao Zhao, I think it's interesting. As long as you complete this mission, you can make a lot of money."
Li Yunlong said disdainfully: "Lao Zhang, don't do this. We worked hard for a long time, but in the end it was you who took advantage."
Zhang Wanhe said with a smile: "Why don't you know the good people? I kindly give you tips to make a fortune, but you still don't appreciate it."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the commander sent a telegram again. The telegram said that he heard that the Mawushan Military Division had obtained a batch of rice-type equipment. The military region was preparing to re-equip the guard battalion. He hoped that the Mawushan Military Division could hand over this batch of equipment to the commander of the military region.
department.
The commander plausibly said that the troops in the Mawushan Military Division used Japanese weapons and equipment, and that this batch of rice weapons and equipment was of little use because there was no place to replenish the bullets, and the superiors could buy bullets from the American army through overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia.
It would be more useful to hand over this batch of rice weapons and equipment to superiors.
Li Yunlong was convinced by the commander. He remembered that when he first joined the Independent Regiment, he and Kong Jie robbed the equipment of a cavalry battalion of the puppet army in Wanjia Town. The commander immediately took away most of it and only gave it to the Independent Regiment.
The equipment of a cavalry company was left behind.
This time it was even more exciting, just take away all the rice equipment.
Li Yunlong shook his head and said with emotion: "The first level of officialdom kills people. Where can I reason with you?"
It must be said that escorting the US military observation group through enemy-occupied areas is a very difficult task.
Xu Dalong and others can disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers, but the blond guys like Smith from the American military observation team are really eye-catching.
Xu Dalong and others could no longer ride horses. They marched at night as much as possible, or found places with sparse people to walk. However, the marching speed was too slow, so they decided to rob the Japanese military vehicles.
Xu Dalong and others were hiding on the side of the road. Military vehicles passed by from time to time. It was very easy for them to rob military vehicles.
However, if the Japanese army loses a military vehicle, it will immediately notify all Japanese garrisons to conduct strict inspections on the highway. Xu Dalong and others cannot simply rob a Japanese military vehicle.
When they rob military vehicles, they must not alert other Japanese and puppet troops, and it is best not to alert even passers-by.
Xu Dalong told Monk Wei his thoughts, and Monk Wei took two special forces members disguised as Japanese soldiers to rest on the side of the road. He was waiting for an opportunity. He wanted to wait until there were few pedestrians on the road and there was only one Japanese military vehicle.
Do it when you pass by alone.
Military vehicles would drive by on the road from time to time, but unfortunately none of them met the conditions to take action.
Monk Wei finally saw a military truck approaching. This truck was covered with tarpaulin, which fit their needs.
Monk Wei and his special forces team stood in the middle of the road and stopped the truck. They signaled the people in the truck to get out of the truck and undergo inspection.
A second lieutenant of the Japanese army and an officer of the puppet army got off the truck. Monk Wei asked them to show their IDs, and a special operations team member went to the back of the truck to lift the tarpaulin and look inside.
After he saw what was going on in the carriage, he made a gesture towards Monk Wei.
Monk Wei understood that there were only two puppet soldiers in the truck. In other words, including the Japanese driver, there were only five Japanese puppet soldiers in the truck. It should be very easy to deal with them.
So Monk Wei planned to operate on them.
But now they still couldn't take action because another truck drove up not far away and there were several pedestrians nearby. Monk Wei had to wait until these vehicles and pedestrians were far away before taking action.
Seeing that Monk Wei still showed no intention of letting them go after checking their documents, the Japanese second lieutenant asked them if there was anything wrong with their documents.
Monk Wei said there was no problem, but he would have to aggrieve them for a few minutes because he had to wait for his team leader to arrive and prepare to take their car to the next checkpoint.
Monk Wei dressed up as a Japanese captain. The Japanese second lieutenant could not afford to offend him, so he could only wait patiently.
The pedestrians and vehicles on the road had all gone away. Monk Wei suddenly took out his pistol and pointed it at the Japanese second lieutenant and the puppet army officer.
When the second lieutenant was about to resist, Monk Wei raised his pistol and knocked him unconscious. Then he pointed his pistol at the puppet officer. The puppet officer obediently raised his hand.
A special operations team member pointed his gun at the Japanese driver, but the Japanese driver did not resist and got out of the car obediently.
The special operations team who had already been guarding the back of the truck used guns to force the two puppet soldiers in the truck to get out of the truck.
Seeing that the Japanese and puppet troops on the truck had been eliminated, Xu Dalong and others got out from behind the ditch and came to the truck. The team members and the people from the US military observation group all got on the truck, and the prisoners also got on the truck.
The Japanese officer who was knocked unconscious was also carried into the car.
In the truck, Xu Dalong interrogated the puppet army officers and learned that this group of Japanese and puppet soldiers were going to a stronghold in front. Under normal circumstances, it would take about an hour. That is to say, within this time of more than an hour
, will not arouse the suspicion of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Xu Dalong and others drove along the road and reached the fork in front of the road. Originally, the truck was going to turn right from here, so Xu Dalong and others continued to drive forward.
After arriving at the county town ahead, Xu Dalong and others escorted the puppet army officers to make a phone call to their unit, telling them that the Japanese second lieutenant was going to do some personal business, and they would be delayed for about five hours before returning to their original location.
force.
This bought Xu Dalong and others more than three hours of time.
Xu Dalong and others drove the truck through the county and continued driving north.
They drove on the road for a full three hours without encountering any trouble.
Xu Dalong and others saw a sidewalk on the side of the road and a small forest nearby, so they drove the truck over.
In order to avoid exposing the target, it was obviously inappropriate for the Japanese and puppet troops to take the prisoners in the car, and they could not be let go. Due to the underground party's policy, this matter could only be handled by the accompanying military commanders.
The truck turned onto the road again and continued moving forward.
In the evening, a Japanese checkpoint appeared ahead.
Xu Dalong and others were already prepared and drove straight over.
The truck was stopped, and the Japanese army checked the documents of Xu Dalong and others.
The certificate Xu Dalong held was from the Central China Front Army's Special High School Course, but a Japanese lieutenant in charge of the checkpoint insisted on getting on the vehicle for inspection, and Xu Dalong agreed.
The Japanese second lieutenant got on the truck and saw three blond Americans inside. Seeing that their hands and feet were tied with ropes, he asked Xu Dalong what was going on.
Xu Dalong said that they were captured by the Japanese army and they were very important. He was ordered to escort these people to Hefei.
He asked the Japanese lieutenant to keep this secret, otherwise he would not be able to bear the responsibility if something went wrong.
The Japanese lieutenant couldn't afford to offend the people in the special high school class, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he agreed to Xu Dalong, saying that he would strictly keep the secret.
They passed the checkpoint smoothly and continued moving forward.
Major Smith and the two members of the US military observation team were very nervous along the way. When they saw the calm and unhurried appearance of Xu Dalong and others, they were very impressed.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xu Dalong was worried that the Japanese army had begun to search for the missing vehicle, so he asked everyone to get out of the truck, and then the team members pushed the truck into a ravine.
After marching all night, they finally saw soldiers from the Fruit Army standing guard in the distance.
The agents went forward to contact the soldiers of the Guo Army. Soon after, the local garrison of the National Army drove two trucks and took them to the local garrison barracks.
Xu Dalong and others rested all morning, and in the afternoon the local garrison escorted them to the headquarters of the fifth theater commander.
Guilin's landscapes are among the best in the world. Xu Dalong and others looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the road and admired the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
That night, Xu Dalong and others escorted the American military observation group into Guilin City.
Early the next morning, Xu Dalong and others handed over to the Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters. They completed the escort mission and were ready to return to Chongqing.
Xu Dalong and others left Guilin in a military truck. Shortly after they left the city, they saw a black car chasing after them. The car overtook the truck and blocked the front.
A lieutenant colonel got out of the car and signaled the truck to stop.
The lieutenant colonel officer came to Xu Dalong and asked, "Are you Xu Dalong, Chief Xu?"
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "I am Xu Dalong. What can I do for you, sir?"
A surprise smile appeared on the lieutenant colonel's face. He stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "Sir Xu, I have heard about his reputation for a long time. When I saw him today, he is indeed a talented person."
Xu Dalong was a little confused and didn't understand what he meant.
The lieutenant colonel introduced himself: "My name is Chen Xiuwen. Following the order of the Chief of Staff of the Fifth War Zone, I specially asked Commander Xu to return to Guilin City to discuss important matters."
Xu Dalong and others had no choice but to follow Chen Xiuwen back to the headquarters of the fifth theater commander.
It turned out that the Fifth War Zone only knew that the military commander had sent someone to escort the American military observation group to Guilin. Major Smith and others said that the person escorting them was Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong's reputation is so resounding that even the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department is no stranger to him.
They felt that it was unreasonable that such a person came to Guilin City, but the commander of the Fifth War Zone did not give him warm hospitality, so they sent people to chase him.
