After Xu Dalong introduced the situation to Masha Wen and asked for his opinion, Masha Wen said: "I have a way. I can prepare a herbal medicine. After a person eats it, his body will become weak in a few minutes and he will be unable to do anything.
If you exert some strength, you will pass out in a short while."
Hearing this, Xu Dalong's eyes lit up. He felt that this was the best way. As long as this drug could be put into the Japanese army's meals, the next thing would be much easier to handle.
Xu Dalong made up his mind and just did it.
He gave another 50 yuan to Masha Wen and the herb collector, asking them to prepare the herbal medicine, and sent several special forces members to assist them in searching for related medicinal materials.
After a day of preparation, Masavan prepared the herbs, which were dried and processed into powder.
Xu Dalong looked at the powders. These powders had no special taste and were not easy to detect from the smell. However, these powders were dark yellow in color and would definitely not work if mixed into rice. The only way was to give them to the Japanese army to drink.
inside the soup.
Xu Dalong and others carefully studied the method of poisoning. They had already observed that when eating, the Japanese soldiers must eat separately from the workers. The workers would not be accidentally injured when poisoning, and the Japanese soldiers
They eat together, which is a favorable condition for poisoning.
However, these powders cannot be used in advance. Even if they are colorless, if they are placed in rice, they will be washed away with water.
The only way was to put it in the soup provided by the Japanese army. The soup was darker in color and could completely cover up traces of the powder. Moreover, the powder dissolved in the water and was more effective.
Now the question arises, how to put these powders into the soup when the meal is served. This is under the eyes of the Japanese, and it is impossible to do it without internal signals.
Xu Dalong thought twice and decided to take a risk. He planned to sneak into the Japanese army's kitchen quietly, wait until the meal was served, take advantage of them and add medicine to the soup.
Xu Dalong decided to take the risk himself, but was unanimously opposed by the special operations team members. If it were other actions, everyone knew that Xu Dalong was very skilled, and everyone was relieved when he completed the mission.
But this time it was different. When the meal was served, almost all the Japanese soldiers were in the kitchen. If something went wrong, there would be absolutely no chance of escape. After all, Xu Dalong was the captain of the Mawushan Guerrilla Brigade, and the team members would never let him
Go on an adventure.
A young soldier named Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, let me complete this task. I am the smallest and thinnest among our special forces, and it is easier to hide."
Tang Wenxuan is just 1.6 meters tall and has a thin build. He was selected to join the special operations team because he was smart, good at climbing, and able to perform some special tasks.
Xu Dalong is tall and tall, and he is really not as good as Tang Wenxuan when it comes to hiding his figure.
Xu Dalong is familiar with every soldier in the special operations brigade and also understands his family situation.
He said with concern: "Tang Wenxuan, this mission is too dangerous. You are the only son in your family. If something happens to you, I can't explain it to your parents."
Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, I am not the only only son in our special operations brigade. Besides, you are the only one left in your family. You take the lead every time, why can't I do it?"
Xu Dalong was very moved and said: "Well, I'll leave the task to you. You must be careful and don't force it. You go and conduct reconnaissance first. If there is no way to hide it, come out quickly and we will think of other ways.
"
Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to complete the mission."
Now that we have entered the rainy season, there are not many sunny days, and it is cloudy at night, with extremely low visibility.
Xu Dalong and Monk Wei personally accompanied Tang Wenxuan down the mountain and came to the outside of the barbed wire fence. They helped him cut the barbed wire and gave him a few words before letting him climb in.
During the day, Tang Wenxuan had already seen clearly the location of the Japanese kitchen. At night, except for the sentries, all the Japanese soldiers were asleep.
He arrived at the kitchen easily. The kitchen door was ajar, so he went in.
He looked carefully at the location of the stove and felt very worried. There was no hiding place around the stove, and it was impossible for him to secretly put the medicine into the soup pot.
He saw two large water tanks placed in the corner of the house. He wanted to pour the medicinal powder into the water tanks, but he could not guarantee whether the Japanese soldiers would use the water in the tanks when making soup. It was most likely that they were washing vegetables.
The water in the tank will be used up when cooking. When cooking, someone will bring water in and refill the water tank. If that happens, the medicinal powder will be in vain.
He carefully observed the kitchen and found that no matter where he hid, it was impossible to completely cover his body.
After looking for a long time, he found a hiding place, which was the woodshed near the kitchen.
However, the firewood shed is seven or eight meters away from the kitchen. When it is time to eat, if he wants to go into the kitchen to drug him, he will be seen. Not only that, after entering the kitchen, there are Japanese cooking soldiers in the kitchen, and he may not have any.
Opportunity to take medicine.
He thought about it for a long time and came up with a solution, but he was a little unsure. He wanted to discuss it with the captain, so he took advantage of the darkness to return the same way and came to the outside of the barbed wire fence.
He reported what he saw in the kitchen to Xu Dalong and Monk Wei. Both Xu Dalong and Monk Wei thought that the plan to drug them would be difficult to implement.
Xu Dalong said: "Let's go back and think of another way."
"Captain, I still want to give it a try." Tang Wenxuan requested.
Monk Wei said: "If you don't have a chance, don't take risks."
Xu Dalong wanted to hear Tang Wenxuan's opinion, so he said, "What do you think? Tell me."
Tang Wenxuan said: "I think I will hide in the woodshed, and when the Japanese want to eat, I will come out of the woodshed. I am small, about the same size as most of the Japanese soldiers, and I can speak Japanese, so they may not
Pay attention to me. Even if someone sees me as a stranger, it will not necessarily arouse their suspicion. There are more than 200 soldiers there, and they will definitely not recognize each other."
Monk Wei said: "You are just fooling around. The little devils live together all day long. Can't they see that you are a stranger?"
Xu Dalong said: "What Tang Wenxuan said has a certain truth. The Japanese soldiers often fight, and many people will die in the battle. Recruitment is a common thing, and you will get used to seeing new faces."
What Xu Dalong said is very reasonable. If it were a peaceful era, soldiers would live together and be familiar with each other. Even if they were not in the same squad, they would at least be familiar with each other.
Things are different in war years. The troops suffer casualties and recruit new soldiers at any time. In this case, the soldiers will be relatively indifferent to each other and pay little attention to other people, so they will not pay too much attention to unfamiliar faces.
The reason why Monk Wei ignored this was because the special force's combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and the losses in each battle were very small. The teammates were all old partners and were very familiar with each other, so he ignored this detail for a while.
He recalled that this was indeed the case when he was in the 72nd Division of the Fruit Army, and he agreed with Tang Wenxuan's opinion.
He said with some worry: "Then how could you sneak into the Japanese kitchen?"
Tang Wenxuan said: "There are two large water tanks in the kitchen. I can use it as an excuse to drink cold water and I will act accordingly."
Xu Dalong and Monk Wei considered it carefully and believed that the soldiers in the cooking squad had little communication with other Japanese soldiers and would not necessarily doubt Tang Wenxuan's identity. As long as Tang Wenxuan could successfully enter the kitchen, there might be a chance to complete the mission.
Xu Dalong said: "You must be careful and never take risks. If there is no chance, just hide in the woodshed again and come out at night."
Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely be able to complete the mission."
After saying that, he saluted Xu Dalong and Monk Wei, and got into the barbed wire fence again.
Xu Dalong and others took advantage of the darkness to hide outside the barbed wire fence and prepared for the attack.
It was still not bright yet, and Tang Wenxuan saw the lights coming on in the kitchen. It must be that the Japanese soldiers were getting up to make breakfast.
He was hiding in the firewood pile and heard someone moving outside. Then the door of the firewood shed opened and a Japanese soldier walked in. He picked up a bundle of firewood and walked out without even closing the door of the firewood shed.
Tang Wenxuan waited patiently. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and then the sound of whistles was heard in the barracks. The Japanese soldiers got dressed and came out for morning exercises.
Soon after, the morning exercises ended. The Japanese soldiers washed their faces, brushed their teeth, tidied up their housework, and then lined up in the courtyard to prepare for dinner.
Kang Wenxuan walked out of the woodshed and walked towards the kitchen as if there was no one else around.
After he entered the kitchen, a fat Japanese cook saw him and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Tang Wenxuan said with a smile: "I'm thirsty and want to drink some water."
The fat devil said: "Dinner will be served soon. Let's wait for the soup."
Tang Wenxuan said: "My mouth is too dry and I can't wait any longer." After saying that, he picked up the water ladle, opened the lid of the cylinder, and took a few sips.
The fat devil didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued busy.
While Tang Wenxuan drank water, he looked at the soup pot, which was steaming and churning constantly. A Japanese soldier had already begun to remove the fire from below, so the soup was obviously ready.
A thin-faced Japanese soldier saw that Tang Wenxuan had not left yet and asked, "Have you not had enough to drink? Hurry up and go out to eat."
Tang Wenxuan said: "Is there anything you need my help with?"
In the army, it is common for soldiers to help cook, especially during war years when supplies are scarce and soldiers all want to eat good food.
When you help in the kitchen, you can not only steal some food, but also get to know the cooks well. When cooking, if someone digs more with his spoon, he will be able to eat more good food. Therefore, many people are willing to help in the kitchen.
The Japanese cooking soldiers were obviously used to this. The fat Japanese soldier said, "Come here and help me carry the rice out."
Kang Wenxuan looked happy, walked over quickly, and carried a large pot of rice out with the fat man.
Tang Wenxuan was a new face, but each Japanese detachment had new recruits, and they didn't know each other.
Seeing that Tang Wenxuan looked unfamiliar, they all thought he was from another team, so no one paid attention to him at all.
Tang Wenxuan put down the rice and followed the fat Japanese soldier back to the kitchen. He saw an elderly Japanese soldier ladling soup from a soup pot into a military pot on the ground.
He hurried forward and said, "Let me do it."
Although the ladle for ladling soup is relatively large, it is still difficult to ladle a large pot of soup into the military pot. When the little devil saw someone willing to do this hard work, he was naturally very happy and smiled at him
He laughed and handed the spoon to him.
Tang Wenxuan poured soup into the army pot while paying attention to the Japanese soldiers. When he saw that the Japanese soldiers did not notice him, he quietly took out the cloth bag from his pocket and poured the medicinal powder into the soup pot. He used a spoon to force it.
After stirring for a while, he continued to pour soup into the army pot.
After ladling the soup, he followed a Japanese soldier with a scar on his face to carry the soup pot out.
After putting down the soup pot, Tang Wenxuan was about to leave. However, unexpectedly, the old devil stopped him and asked him to serve the soup for the devils.
Tang Wenxuan wanted to run away, but when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but secretly complain. He had no other choice but to stay here.
Monk Wei hid in the grass outside the barbed wire fence and saw Tang Wenxuan serving soup for the Japanese. He was very happy and knew that this guy must have succeeded. He immediately ordered his team members to prepare for battle.
The Japs left one after another after they had eaten and drank enough. Some of the big eaters or slow-moving ones were still eating there.
Soon after, the effects of the medicine began to take effect. As the Japs walked, their bodies became weak and fell to the ground. The Japs soldiers who were eating fell directly on the table.
The Japanese cooking soldiers had not eaten yet. Seeing this situation, they were all shocked and didn't know what was going on.
Tang Wenxuan decisively pulled out a Browning pistol from his waist and opened fire at the Japanese cooks. The Japanese cooks also had strong combat capabilities, and he would not give them a chance to get their guns.
Xu Dalong and others heard the gunfire and immediately rushed to the barbed wire fence. They had already cut the barbed wire fence, came to the barbed wire fence, pulled it open with their hands and got in.
At this time, there were Japanese sentries in the barracks who had not eaten. They saw guerrillas getting in through the barbed wire fence and shot at them.
Xu Dalong and the sharpshooters had been staring at the Japanese sentries for a long time and quickly killed them.
Most of the Japs who had eaten had lost consciousness. Only a few of the Japs who drank less soup were still somewhat conscious. They struggled to resist and were quickly eliminated by the special forces. The battle ended soon after.
.
Xu Dalong and others rescued the imprisoned prisoners of war and the laborers, and also captured a Japanese engineer.
