The special operations team members only replenished part of the consumed grenades and bullets, but still gave all the captured weapons and equipment to Nguyen Van Hung's guerrillas, and also gave them all the living supplies in the artillery tower.
Ruan Wenxiong and the guerrillas felt extremely happy and became even more enthusiastic about Xu Dalong and the special forces members. Now that they had seized a batch of daily necessities, they were finally generous and entertained the special forces members well.
A few days later, the traffic officer at the foot of the mountain sent word that the person in charge of Yuenan North District had arrived.
For safety reasons, Ruan Wenxiong took the guerrillas down the mountain to pick him up.
On the way here, Ruan Wenxiong excitedly reported to the leaders of the underground party what they had seen and heard in the past few days.
The leader of Yue Nan's underground party gained an intuitive understanding of Xu Dalong and his special forces members, and also developed a favorable impression of them.
After Xu Dalong met with the person in charge, he explained his purpose of coming.
The person in charge was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Dalong could actually provide them with the equipment of an infantry division. Not only that, but the ammunition used in this batch of equipment could also be purchased from the Fifth War Zone in the future.
They are so short of weapons and ammunition that even if they want to buy them, they can't find any place. Now this is pie in the sky.
He immediately expressed his willingness to reach this deal with Xu Dalong. He was only the person in charge of a second-level organization of the underground party in Yuenan North District, and he had to report to the higher-level person in charge of Yuenan North District.
The person in charge was carrying a code book for the radio station to communicate with his superiors. With the help of the radio station brought by Xu Dalong and others, they quickly got in touch with their superiors.
The underground party in Yuenan North District took this matter very seriously and quickly responded to the telegram, saying that they agreed to make this deal with Xu Dalong. However, the funds in their hands were currently difficult, and they hoped that Xu Dalong could give them some time.
Soon after, a main person in charge of Yuenan North District also rushed over.
After meeting Xu Dalong, he first expressed his gratitude, and then began to complain about poverty, saying that their conditions were really difficult and they could not afford so much money.
Xu Dalong had no intention of selling it to them at the original price. After all, they were also anti-Japanese armed forces, so he agreed to give them a discount.
After bargaining, it was finally decided that the transaction price of this batch of equipment was 3.3 million oceans. Even so, they could not afford so much at once. The person in charge brought 1 million oceans and said that this would be used as a deposit until Xu Dalong and the others had all the equipment.
Ship it here, and then pay the balance in one lump sum when handing it over at the border.
After negotiating the terms, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Deputy Chief of Staff Wang. The Fifth War Zone sent a convoy to transport the division's equipment and the Japanese weapons and equipment to the Yue-Nan border.
When the official handover came, the main person in charge of the underground party in Yuenan North District paid Xu Dalong another 1 million yuan, saying that they really couldn't come up with so much cash for the rest at the moment and hoped to use rubber and other materials to pay for it. Xu Dalong was considerate.
Due to their difficulties, they agreed to their request.
Xu Dalong and others were waiting at the border. Yue Nan's underground party was honest and sent a large amount of rubber.
Deputy Chief of Staff Feng has already found a buyer for them, and this batch of rubber was sold for a total of 1.85 million yuan.
Xu Dalong took out 300,000 yuan and gave it to Deputy Chief of Staff Feng, asking him to distribute it to those who provided help in the fifth theater as a thank you to Xu Dalong and others.
After finishing the matter, Xu Dalong and others were ready to return to the Mawushan base area.
At this time, the anti-Japanese armed forces in Yuenan North District sent a telegram, saying that they had discovered an important economic target of the Japanese army and hoped that Xu Dalong would fight with them and the benefits gained would be divided equally between the two sides.
The goal of the person in charge of the Yue Nan Anti-Japanese Armed Forces this time is one of the largest tin mines in Southeast Asia in Yue Nan. By digging this tin mine, not only can a large number of tin ingots be seized, but also a lot of weapons and ammunition can be obtained.
and other supplies.
Xu Dalong and others came here just to make money. When they heard about such a good thing, they agreed without hesitation.
Yue Nan cooperated with Xu Dalong and others in carrying out the mission, which was the guerrilla group led by Ruan Wenxiong. He selected 50 capable team members from among them to cooperate with Xu Dalong and others in this operation.
That night, Xu Dalong and others, with the cooperation of Ruan Wenxiong and his guerrillas, launched an attack on the Japanese tin mine, annihilated more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops inside, and seized a large amount of gold, oceans, and cash. Seized
All weapons and equipment were given to Nguyen Van Hung and his guerrillas.
The profit that Xu Dalong and others gained this time was worth 200,000 yuan, which was said to be a lot. However, when Xu Dalong saw the warehouse full of large tin ingots, he was reluctant to give up so many treasures.
These things are really heavy, and people like them alone can't transport much.
Xu Dalong mobilized the miners in the mine and the people around the tin mine through Ruan Wenxiong and others, and asked them to help transport these tin ingots. Of course, he also paid these miners and people a reward, and finally extracted them from the tin mine.
More than 160 tons of tin ingots were transported.
Xu Dalong and others transported these tin ingots to the border, and Deputy Chief of Staff Feng found a buyer for them in advance.
This transaction, excluding the cost, netted another 500,000 yuan.
The news reached the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters. The commander was very happy to hear that Xu Dalong and others had caught 4 million yuan in this trip, and reported the situation to his superiors.
Zhang Wanhe was very excited when he heard about this incident. He went to the Taiyue Military Region and asked the commander to notify him immediately as soon as Xu Dalong returned to the base area, saying that he would go to the Mawushan base area to personally clean up Xu Dalong's life.
The commander knew that he was thinking about the oceans that Xu Dalong had brought back, so he smiled and said: "Minister Zhang, are you thinking about Xu Dalong, or are you thinking about the money in his hand?"
Zhang Wanhe was very thick-skinned. He smiled and said: "It depends on what you said. I am not a money-grubbing person. Of course I am thinking about Brother Dalong."
At this moment, the superior called. After listening to the call, the commander informed Zhang Wanhe of the superior's instructions.
After hearing this, Zhang Wanhe was overjoyed and said, "That's great. Is Guofu sending money to our brother Dalong again without knowing it?"
The commander couldn't help but said: "Minister Zhang, I think you are about to fall into the eyes of money, and you don't understand Xu Dalong and the others. This mission is definitely not easy. I don't know how much risk they are going to take."
Zhang Wanhe didn't care at all and said: "Brother Dalong is very capable. No difficulty can trouble him. I believe that Brother Dalong will be able to successfully complete the tasks assigned by his superiors, and he will also be able to get more for us."
Big benefits.”
Xu Dalong was preparing to return to the base area when he received a telegram from the commander. After reading the telegram, Xu Dalong conveyed the instructions from his superiors to Monk Wei and the special forces members.
Soon after, they crossed the border again and entered Yuenan territory.
Through the battle in Yuenan and the deal with the Yuenan underground party, Xu Dalong had established a certain network of contacts. The person in charge of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Yuenan North District specially sent Ruan Wenxiong to lead a capable team.
, and Xu Dalong’s special forces team headed to Myanmar.
On this day, Xu Dalong, Ruan Wenxiong and others came to the Mekong River. Looking at the wide Mekong River, everyone was a little worried.
The special operations team members are all from the north. Although they have had swimming training, the level of training is not enough to swim across the Mekong River. What's more, they also carry a Type 92 infantry gun, weapons and ammunition, and they are obviously incompetent.
Armed swimmer.
The Yue Nan guerrillas are much better at water, and about half of them can swim across. This is obviously not possible either.
To cross the Mekong River, it seems that the only way to find a ferry is to find a ferry. The map in the hands of Ruan Wenxiong and others is very rudimentary, with only large towns marked on it, and they don't know if they can find villages nearby.
After discussion, everyone walked upstream along the Mekong River to see if they could find a village and borrow their fishing boat to cross the river.
Everyone was walking along the river bank when they suddenly saw a small black spot appearing in the upstream direction. It must be a boat.
Everyone hid and looked in the direction of the ship.
Soon after, the sound of the "chunk, chugging, chugging" engine came over, and the outline of the ship became clearer and clearer.
Xu Dalong's eyes were sharp and he hurriedly said: "It's a Japanese gunboat. Everyone, please take cover."
At this time, the outline of the ship was only the size of a watermelon. Ruan Wenxiong couldn't see clearly even with a telescope. He didn't understand how Xu Dalong could know that it was a Japanese gunboat.
As the boat in the river got closer and closer, Ruan Wenxiong saw clearly that it was indeed a Japanese gunboat with the Japanese plaster flag flying on it.
He sincerely praised: "Captain Xu, your eyesight is really amazing. You can see clearly from such a distance."
Everyone hid, and the gunboat gradually approached them and passed in front of them.
Everyone could clearly see that on this Japanese gunboat, there were two machine guns at the bow and one at the stern. There was also a crooked machine gun on the top of the ship. There were three Japanese soldiers standing on the deck, and there was another machine gun at the stern.
Two Japanese soldiers.
After the Japanese artillery fired far away, everyone continued to march upstream along the river bank.
This area was sparsely populated. They walked for more than three hours before they discovered some buildings in front of them. When they got closer, they discovered that this was actually a water checkpoint for the Japanese army.
Xu Dalong asked the team to stop first, and he, Ruan Wenxiong and Monk Wei went to the front to conduct reconnaissance.
There are two rows of bungalows in the Japanese checkpoint, with a wooden watchtower in the middle with two trucks parked inside. There is a pier by the river. Parked at the pier are a gunboat, three small patrol boats, and several
Sampan.
It can be judged that there are about a hundred Japanese troops in the checkpoint. There are also some women going in and out. Some of them are washing clothes by the river, and there are Japanese soldiers guarding them. These women were obviously captured by the Japanese troops.
When Xu Dalong saw the checkpoint, his first feeling was that he wanted to launch a surprise attack, eliminate the Japanese at the checkpoint, and seize the ships next to the dock.
If he were to deal with the Japs inside alone, Xu Dalong was absolutely sure that he could easily eliminate them. However, there were many women inside, and it would be much more difficult to fight them without accidentally injuring them.
Two special forces members were left to continue to monitor the situation at the checkpoint. Xu Dalong, Ruan Wenxiong and Wei Monk returned to the unit's location and began to discuss the next move.
The guerrillas Ruan Wenxiong brought this time are all the backbone of his guerrillas, with rich combat experience. Now they are well-equipped and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, not to mention Xu Dalong's powerful special forces.
He also wanted to get rid of the Japanese inside, but he was also worried about the women at the checkpoint. His task was to escort the special forces to Burma. His superiors had already told him to try to avoid fighting with the Japanese troops on the way and reduce the number of enemies.
Losses of partisans.
Ruan Wenxiong said: "Captain Xu, the Japanese troops at the checkpoint are difficult to fight. Let's continue walking upriver. There must be villages."
Monk Wei said: "Master Long, I don't know how long it will take to go upstream. Even if we find the village, we have so many people and it's not enough to find two small fishing boats. Besides, there are ghosts in the river.
Gunboat patrols and fishing boats cross the river. If you encounter a Japanese gunboat, it will be troublesome.
My opinion is to destroy the Japanese checkpoints and take their speedboats to quickly cross the river."
Xu Dalong also thought this was the best way. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said, "Let's beat the Japanese checkpoints. Monk, you personally observe where the women are detained."
Monk Wei responded and went to the checkpoint again.
In the evening, Monk Wei came back. He had thoroughly observed the situation inside the checkpoint and drew a sketch, marking the locations of the Japanese sentries, the Japanese dormitories, and the rooms where the women were detained.
At two o'clock in the morning, Xu Dalong and others began to take action.
The first thing they had to do was to rescue the women inside. Xu Dalong himself and Ruan Wenxiong quietly came to the outside of the Japanese checkpoint, cut the barbed wire outside, and then got in.
Xu Dalong walked and stopped, and Ruan Wenxiong followed behind him, following his movements.
Xu Dalong was observing the situation of the Japanese sentries. With the help of the weak moonlight, he could see the movements of the Japanese sentries.
When the Japanese sentry's head turned elsewhere, they quickly walked inside. When they saw the Japanese sentry's face turning around, they hurriedly hid in the shadows.
In this way, they soon arrived at the bottom of the watchtower.
Xu Dalong signaled Ruan Wenxiong to stay below as a guard, and he climbed up quietly along the ladder.
After reaching the top, Xu Dalong quietly showed his head and saw that the sentry was looking away from him with his back turned. He climbed up quietly, pulled out his dagger and came to the back of the Japanese sentry.
The Japanese sentry seemed to hear some slight movement, so he turned his head and saw Xu Dalong.
He was startled, and just as he was about to shout, Xu Dalong stepped forward, covered his mouth, and killed him with a knife.
After dealing with the Japanese sentries, Xu Dalong and Ruan Wenxiong came to the room where the women were detained. The door of the room was closed and wrapped with an iron chain on the outside. It was not locked, but it could not be opened from the inside.
