Everyone knows that this is too dangerous. Xu Dalong only led a small force deep into the area heavily defended by the enemy. It was very difficult to find a small target like the epidemic prevention and water supply unit among tens of thousands of Japanese troops and destroy it.
One can imagine.
In particular, the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops are the key protection units of the Japanese army. Not only do they hide and are difficult to detect, but even if they are discovered, there will be countless troops around to protect them. It is really difficult to imagine how difficult it is to destroy them.
However, it was Xu Dalong who proposed this idea and carried out this task after all. In everyone's minds, there was no task that Xu Dalong could not complete. Since everyone had no other way, they agreed with Xu Dalong's opinion.
Li Yunlong's guess was correct. After Oshima Chuxin and others escorted the epidemic prevention and water supply troops into the Japanese defense zone, they reported to the First Army Headquarters. Yoshio Shinozuka and the Chief of Staff issued orders for them to implement biological and chemical weapons as soon as possible.
attack.
Oshima CITIC had already considered the attack method on the road. It was really what Li Yunlong thought of, ground attack and tunnel digging.
He also believed that the Eighth Route Army had a strong combat capability and should choose the frontal breakthrough in the defense area of the Shanxi-Sui Army. Therefore, he suggested to the division commander of the Japanese 113th Division, who served as the commander-in-chief of the front line, to secretly mobilize troops to the front of the defense area and concentrate the main force.
Launch an attack in order to break through the enemy's defenses.
At the same time, he believed that since both the enemy and ourselves knew that the other side was digging tunnels, they believed that this road was no longer feasible. Just as the Japanese army had abandoned the tunnels, the Eighth Route Army must have abandoned the tunnels, which was an opportunity that could be exploited.
He suggested that the engineering troops be sent to continue digging tunnels, and when they were approaching the enemy's defensive positions, they should dig downwards, dig under the enemy's trenches, and send the epidemic prevention and water supply troops through the tunnels to the rear of the enemy's defensive positions to carry out the attack.
, spread bacteria and viruses, and let the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army bring the bacteria and viruses to their base areas.
The division commander of the 113th Division believed that Oshima's suggestions were reasonable, so he adopted them all and took the time to start preparations.
Just when Xu Dalong and Li Qiulin were preparing to set off, the commander of the Taiyue Military Region sent a telegram. The telegram clearly stated that Xu Dalong was not allowed to go deep behind enemy lines in person to carry out this mission.
It turned out that Li Changshui reported to the commander on the situation on the Licheng front line, especially on the situation of the epidemic prevention and water supply troops. The commander heard that Xu Dalong was going to take risks deep behind enemy lines in person, and was very worried about his safety.
Xu Dalong is a rare talent. If he is sacrificed, it will be a huge loss that the Taiyue Military Region cannot bear. Although Xu Dalong often carried out missions deep behind enemy lines in the past, this time the situation was too dangerous.
Xu Dalong wanted to enter an area heavily defended by the Japanese army through a tunnel. He had no control over the situation there. The Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops were the top priority in protecting the Japanese army. Xu Dalong only relied on a small team of more than a dozen people to destroy the Japanese army.
The difficulty of the epidemic prevention and water supply troops can be imagined. Once their whereabouts are exposed, they will be surrounded by tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and there is almost no possibility of escaping.
The commander was concerned about Xu Dalong and explicitly prohibited Xu Dalong from carrying out this mission personally. He also asked Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others to dissuade Xu Dalong. If Xu Dalong really went to carry out this mission, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others would not be spared.
After receiving the telegram, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurried to Xu Dalong's office.
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Dalong, don't go on this mission yourself. There are many capable special forces members you trained, so can't you leave this mission to them?"
Zhao Gang also said: "Yes, captain, you are the backbone of our Mawushan base, we cannot have to do everything by yourself.
You should think carefully and see if there are other candidates who can complete this mission in your place."
The care of the commander and the concern of his comrades made Xu Dalong's heart very warm.
He said: "Thank you, commander, and also thank you to the regiment leader and Commissioner Zheng. If there are similar tasks in the future, I will send other people to complete them. But this time it is different. The harm caused by the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops is really too great. Once they
If we launch an attack, the tens of thousands of coalition troops on the front line will be in great danger. Behind us, there are millions of anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the base areas. I dare not take this risk."
Seeing that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were still trying to dissuade him, Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain, Commissioner Zheng, just let me go this time. I won't do it next time."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang understand the current situation better than the commander in the Taiyue Military Region. This matter is really too big, and they really don't have much confidence in letting others complete this task.
Li Yunlong said: "Well, Brother Dalong, I believe that you are very skilled and will be able to complete this mission. I just hope that you will try your best not to take risks. If it doesn't work, just retreat and let's think of something else."
method."
Zhao Gang warned: "Captain, you must pay attention to safety. Our base area cannot be separated from you, and we old comrades cannot be separated from you."
Xu Dalong said: "Don't worry, Commander, Commissioner Zheng, there is something I want to discuss with you. We will send a telegram to the commander, saying that we have listened to his opinion and let someone else carry out this mission."
Xu Dalong's request was a bit excessive. This was a blatant deception of the superiors. Under normal circumstances, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang would never do this. However, both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang knew Xu Dalong's intentions. He did not want the commander to worry, and would rather be punished by the commander afterwards.
Members reprimanded.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were very moved and said: "Brother Dalong, captain, don't worry, we will leave this matter to us."
After Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang left, Lin Xueying came over.
Xu Dalong would take her with him most of the time when he went out on missions. This time the situation was too dangerous, so Xu Dalong would not let her go. This made her feel a great sense of loss and some fear, as if Xu Dalong this time
If he left, she might never see him again. This feeling made her very sad.
Lin Xueying originally wanted to see Xu Dalong off, but before she could speak, her eye circles became red.
Xu Dalong understood her purpose and said with a smile: "Xueying, don't worry, this is not the first time I have carried out such a mission. Don't worry, the little devils can't do anything to me."
Lin Xueying said: "Brother Dalong, I know you are very skilled, but this mission is too dangerous. Can you..."
She originally wanted to say: "Can someone else go?"
But when the words came to her lips, she also knew that she should not say such words. She knew that this mission was dangerous, and Xu Dalong could not let other comrades take the risk on his behalf.
So Lin Xueying said: "Brother Dalong, you'd better take me with you. I will definitely be able to help you."
Xu Dalong liked this strong and brave girl very much, and of course he would not let her take risks with him.
He said: "Don't worry, I will come back safely."
Lin Xueying said: "Brother Dalong, you must come back safely, otherwise, I..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Looking at Lin Xueying with pear blossoms and rain, Xu Dalong truly felt her affection for him. He couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the tears on Lin Xueying's face.
"Brother Dalong." Lin Xueying shouted, threw herself into Xu Dalong's arms, and hugged his waist tightly with her hands. She cried out, and her tears wet the front of Xu Dalong's chest.
Xu Dalong finally couldn't control his emotions and tightly supported this lovely girl.
In order to cooperate with the actions of Xu Dalong and others, Wei Monk and Sun Desheng were ordered to lead the cavalry brigade and the special operations brigade to launch an attack on the Japanese army in the direction of Licheng. They organized small groups and continuously harassed the Japanese army, making the Japanese soldiers panic.
I had to spare a lot of energy to deal with Monk Wei and the others.
Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief escorted the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the Japanese army. After this period of fighting with the Eighth Route Army, they no longer had the guts to find another place to hide the epidemic prevention and water supply troops, so they placed them in the 113th
Near the division headquarters. Not only is it heavily protected, but it is also within the sphere of influence of the 113th Division. If anything happens, the 113th Division must also bear half of the responsibility.
Oshima Chunobu and others placed the epidemic prevention and water supply troops near the 113th Division headquarters, and the officers and soldiers of the 113th Division were also very worried.
The division commander specially called Oshima CITIC and the super high section chief over and asked them to strictly restrain the epidemic prevention and water supply troops and strengthen management to prevent the harmful substances they carry from passing through the defense area of the 113th Division.
Since the Japanese army was preparing to launch an attack and was sending engineers to dig tunnels, which would take time, Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief had nothing to do but wait for news from the Japanese army.
The waiting was unbearable. The Chief of Staff of the First Army entrusted the two of them with important tasks, and they looked forward to completing the task of carrying out biological and chemical weapons attacks as soon as possible.
Oshima CITIC and the director of the special high school class were very bored, so they started playing Go.
Oshima asked: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, you said that the enemy already knows that the epidemic prevention and water supply troops have been sent to the front line of Licheng, and they must be sabotaging it. If you were the commander of the enemy, what would you do?
What about the measures?”
The super high school section chief was about to make a move. When he heard Oshima Nakanobu's words, he took it back and put the chess piece into the chess box.
He said with some worry: "You are saying that they may send people to infiltrate our army to find the location of the biological and chemical weapons troops and carry out sabotage?"
Nakanobu Oshima nodded and said: "I think so. During this period of time, the enemy has launched many attacks against biological and chemical weapons troops, which also shows that they are very afraid of the existence of biological and chemical weapons troops.
Since they already know that the biological and chemical weapons troops have now arrived at the front line of Licheng, they will never allow our army to launch an attack. They will definitely try their best to infiltrate and destroy it."
The section chief of Kegao said: "I agree with your opinion. You should remind the division commander to pay attention to this matter, implement strict protection for the epidemic prevention and water supply troops, and require all troops to strengthen their precautions to prevent enemy troops from infiltrating."
Oshima Zhongxin said: "After all, we are outsiders, and we speak softly. I am afraid that the division commander may not pay attention to our suggestions. I suggest that we send a telegram to the chief of staff to explain our intentions clearly, and ask the chief of staff to
Your Majesty the Division Commander gives the order."
The director of the Special High School Section said: "What you said makes sense. Just draft a telegram, and then we will jointly send it to the Chief of Staff."
The Chief of Staff of the First Army received the telegram from Nakanobu Oshima and others and issued an order to the division commander of the 113th Division.
After the division commander received the telegram, he called Oshima CITIC and the super high school section chief over.
He said: "I have received a telegram from the Chief of Staff. I will cooperate with your actions. What do you need from me?"
Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief informed the division commander of the 113th Division of the measures they had discussed in advance.
The main measure is to strictly block all passages into the Japanese defense zone from the direction of Taiyuan to prevent the Eighth Route Army from infiltrating. The interrogation system is strengthened in the defense zone, and different passwords are used during the day and night. Any troops encountering unfamiliar Japanese troops have the right to conduct interrogations. Designate special personnel.
Troops to protect the epidemic prevention and water supply troops.
In addition to these measures, Oshima CITIC also hopes that the Japanese army will speed up the digging of tunnels, prepare for an attack, and carry out biological and chemical weapons attacks as soon as possible.
The division commander of the 113th Division saw that the front line was in a stalemate and the Japanese army was having a very difficult time supplying ammunition and supplies. He also hoped to end this difficult war as soon as possible. Therefore, he also placed a lot of hope on the epidemic prevention and water supply troops.
Big expectations.
He promised to fully cooperate with the actions of Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief. He called a deputy chief of staff of the 113th Division on the spot, who was responsible for coordinating the troops of the 113th Division with Oshima CITIC and the Super High School Section Chief.
keep in touch with each other
In the early morning of this day, a regiment of Japanese troops, although they were harassed by the Eighth Route Army cavalry along the way, still escorted a large amount of ammunition over. The Japanese troops on the front line received the supply of this batch of ammunition and prepared to launch an attack.
At 12 o'clock at midnight that day, Xu Dalong, Li Qiulin, Wang Jinke and 11 special operations team members disguised themselves as Japanese military communications troops and entered the tunnel.
After arriving at the exit of the tunnel, Xu Dalong held up the wooden board at the exit and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
It was very quiet around the entrance of the cave, with only some unknown insects singing there.
He quietly pushed aside the wooden board and stuck his head out.
Tonight is a cloudy day, which was specially chosen by Xu Dalong. It is dark outside, the visibility is extremely low, and it is almost impossible to see.
Xu Dalong was not in a hurry to go out. He stayed there and continued to observe and listen carefully to what was going on around him.
"Who is it, stop! Password." A faint voice came from the distance: "Tokyo Rice Ball, reply to the order."
Someone said: "Osaka rice cake."
This is what Xu Dalong was waiting for. He told Li Qiulin who was following him the password he heard, and asked him to pass it on so that every special operations team member would know it.
