Just when Xu Dalong and others had just passed the checkpoint, the Japanese squad leader called again through the walkie-talkie, but what they called was no longer the name of the Japanese squad leader who set up the checkpoint, but the puppet army's checkpoint, asking them to stop those who had just passed by.
These two Japanese military vehicles.
The wireless telegraph phones of the Japanese and puppet troops used the same communication frequency band, and the special operations team members could hear the voice of the Japanese squad leader clearly. While reporting to Xu Dalong, they monitored the movements of the puppet army checkpoint.
Sure enough, they immediately saw the puppet soldiers at the checkpoint panicking, and someone turned the muzzle of the machine gun. The puppet soldiers also fired at the two military vehicles.
However, at this time, the two military vehicles had passed the checkpoint and were more than 400 meters away. As the vehicles were traveling at high speed, they were getting further and further away from the checkpoint. The random gunfire of the puppet soldiers no longer posed a threat. Even so, the special
The team members were also very angry that the puppet soldiers shot at them.
A sniper raised his gun and fired two shots, killing the puppet platoon leader and machine gunner. The puppet soldiers were so frightened that they all fell to the ground, and no one dared to raise their head again.
Xu Dalong knew very well that their whereabouts had been discovered. The Japanese army had wireless telegraph phones, and they would soon be able to mobilize troops again to pursue and intercept them.
He told Li Qiulin through the intercom to speed up, get away from the area quickly, abandon the car, and enter the mountain forest area.
After receiving the report, Colonel Takakura was surprised and happy. What was surprising was that Xu Dalong and others had jumped out of the ambush circle they had carefully set up, and what was happy was that their traces were discovered after all.
He immediately reported the situation to the commander of the Kawamoto Division, and asked him to mobilize his troops, reset the blockade, and pursue and intercept Xu Dalong and others. He himself also led his troops in pursuit in the direction where Xu Dalong and others appeared.
Xu Dalong and others continued to drive on the highway. After 20 minutes, they got out of the car, pushed the two trucks into the mountain stream beside the road, and then entered the mountain forest.
After the Japanese army received accurate information from Xu Dalong and others, they immediately mobilized troops to search everywhere. However, the area was vast and it was not easy to find the two missing trucks. It took an hour and a half before anyone discovered the two trucks that had fallen into the mountain stream.
truck.
Gao Cang led people to the scene of the accident. He believed that Xu Dalong and others could not walk too far in the forest on two legs, so he drew a circle on the map and commanded the troops to reset the blockade.
Gao Cang led the team and quickly found the route Xu Dalong and others took into the forest, and then followed it. However, as they walked, they also had to look for traces of Xu Dalong, so the speed was naturally much slower.
Not only that, there was a small river and a small stream in this area. Xu Dalong and others used the water of the river and the stream to quickly get rid of the tracking of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Gao Cang and others chased to the small river and completely lost all traces of Xu Dalong and others. He knew very well that Xu Dalong and others were in the river, traveling upstream or downstream for a certain distance before re-entering the shore. He was very helpless.
, they had to divide their troops into two groups, searching all the way upstream and downstream. When they found the traces of Xu Dalong and others again, they spent a lot of time.
The same situation was the same when passing the creek. Gao Cang knew very well that it was almost impossible to catch up with Xu Dalong and the others. However, Gao Cang didn't care about this. After all, he had already mobilized his troops to build a stronghold in this area.
After establishing a new blockade, he only needs to continue to lead people to track and keep pressure on Xu Dalong and others. He believes that this time Xu Dalong and others will not be able to escape from his grasp.
Xu Dalong and others passed through a hilly area, and a small river appeared in front of them. After reaching the river, Li Qiulin rolled up his trouser legs and asked: "Captain, should we go upstream or downstream?"
Xu Dalong said: "Go upstream."
The team members had long been accustomed to obeying Xu Dalong's orders, and they did not ask why. Although this direction was contrary to where they wanted to go, everyone had no doubts and went down to the river one after another, heading upstream.
.
The first two times they crossed the river, they only walked less than a mile in the river before landing. However, this time they walked nearly two kilometers in the river, and Xu Dalong still did not give the order to go ashore.
Mr. Chen had been following Xu Dalong. He asked with some confusion: "Mr. Xu, how long do you plan to walk north?"
Xu Dalong said: "In order to completely escape the pursuit of the Japanese army, everyone has to work hard and walk at least another kilometer."
Mr. Chen said nothing and continued to walk forward in the river with everyone.
Finally Xu Dalong gave the order to stop advancing. This time he did not cross the river, but returned to the other side of the river.
Li Qiulin asked with some confusion: "Captain, where should we go next?"
Xu Dalong did not answer his words, but said to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, I have a request. Now that the Japanese army has figured out the direction of our march, there must be heavy troops in front to intercept. For your safety, should we hold off for a while?
Itinerary? My opinion is that we turn around first and jump out of the new blockade set up by the enemy by surprise, and then make a roundabout way to Kuala Lumpur."
Although Mr. Chen was very eager to go to Kuala Lumpur, he also saw dangers along the way.
He nodded and said: "I respect your opinion. You are the leader of this team, and it is up to you to make any decision."
When Xu Dalong saw that Mr. Chen no longer insisted on heading directly to Kuala Lumpur, he was relieved and led his team to escort Mr. Chen back in the direction he came from.
At this time, Li Qiulin said: "Captain, if we walk like this, it may still be difficult to escape from the enemy's encirclement. After all, we can only walk in the mountains and forests, and the speed is too slow. Once the enemy finds traces, the enemy can still mobilize troops quickly.
We are being chased and intercepted. I have an idea. Let me lead some people to continue heading towards Kuala Lumpur, and then deliberately expose our whereabouts to attract the enemy's attention. In this way, you can cover Mr. Chen and secretly escape from the enemy's sight and jump out of the enemy's encirclement.
, cover Mr. Chen to reach his destination."
Xu Dalong knew very well that Li Qiulin's suggestion was correct. Only in this way could he divert the enemy, avoid tracing Mr. Chen's whereabouts, and escort him to his destination safely.
Just like this, Li Qiulin and the others are too dangerous. Xu Dalong doesn't want him to do this, but this is the best way at the moment.
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "Well, no matter what, you must be more careful. After you are done, you must quickly escape from the enemy's pursuit."
Li Qiulin said: "Captain, don't worry."
Mr. Chen and Secretary Chen were very moved after hearing what Li Qiulin said. They knew very well how much risk Li Qiulin and others would take in order to protect themselves.
Mr. Chen said: "Mr. Xu, Captain Li, this is too dangerous. Let's go together. You can't take risks with the soldiers for my sake."
Li Qiulin said firmly: "Mr. Chen, why did you take the risk to come here?
It is our duty to help you reach your destination safely. This is what we must do. Please don't worry, we will be able to successfully complete the mission and evacuate safely."
Mr. Chen knew that Li Qiulin was trying to comfort himself. There were countless enemy troops coming to pursue and intercept them. Li Qiulin and the others only had so few people, and they had to take the initiative to expose their targets. Once targeted by the enemy, it would be difficult for them to escape safely.
He was thinking about persuading Li Qiulin again when Xu Dalong said: "Mr. Chen, this matter is settled."
Li Qiulin gathered a squad of special forces members and stood in a row. Xu Dalong walked in front of them and did not use words to mobilize. Instead, he walked to each soldier and arranged their clothes for them. He kindly said
Calling each of them by name, asking them to be brave and cautious, and they must come back alive.
The team members were very moved and firmly assured Xu Dalong that they would resolutely complete the task.
Mr. Chen was also very moved. He walked up to each soldier, shook hands with them cordially, expressed his gratitude to them, and also told them to pay attention to their safety.
After a brief farewell ceremony, Li Qiulin and the special forces team members turned around and continued toward Kuala Lumpur.
Gao Cang ordered some people to cross the river first, and then divided the troops into two groups. A small group of people searched upstream along the river bank, and he led the main force to search downstream, that is, in the southeast direction. As he expected, in
Five or six hundred meters downstream, new traces were discovered on the other side of the river: trampled grass and broken shrub branches. It was obvious that someone had passed by not long ago.
He immediately led his team in pursuit.
Heading downstream were Li Qiulin and a squad of special forces members. They deliberately exposed their tracks to lure the enemy into taking the bait. Not only that, they also deliberately slowed down in the hope that the Japanese and puppet troops would discover their tracks and expose themselves to cover them.
Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen.
Li Qiulin walked at the end of the team. Every time he walked, he climbed to a commanding height and looked behind. Sure enough, he saw a large group of Japanese troops following the traces they left.
Li Qiulin and the others quickened their pace again, always maintaining a distance of about two kilometers from the enemies following behind.
The mountain road is rugged and the vegetation coverage is also different. In some places, the vegetation is relatively sparse, and the figures of Li Qiulin and others will inevitably be exposed. In the end, the Japanese and puppet troops finally discovered the figures appearing in the distance, and Gao Cang hurriedly ordered the troops to speed up their pace.
, at the same time, he asked the communications troops to seize the time to get in touch with the Japanese and puppet troops operating nearby, and pursue and intercept the enemy troops in front.
Li Qiulin saw the enemy troops speeding up and knew that his whereabouts had been discovered. They had completely attracted the enemy's attention and achieved the purpose of mobilizing the enemy. So he led the special forces members to speed up the march and quickly get rid of the enemy.
.
The Japanese soldiers were well-fed and in good physical condition. However, compared with the special operations team members, their physical fitness was still much worse. They were so exhausted that they could not catch up with the special operations team members.
The physique of the puppet soldiers was much worse. It didn't take long for them to be so tired that they almost collapsed to the ground, and gradually distanced themselves from the Japanese troops in front.
Gao Cang led the Japanese to pursue them desperately, hoping to catch up with the enemies in front as soon as possible so that they could be eliminated. However, he did not expect that the guys in front were running too fast. At the beginning, they could still see them from a distance.
The figure of the other party, and eventually even the shadow of the other party could not be seen.
Fortunately, traces of their hurried passing could be seen on the ground, and Gao Cang and his men could only grit their teeth and continue chasing. They chased for more than two hours at a stretch, and Gao Cang was so tired that he couldn't breathe.
They didn't stop to rest. The Japanese were already staggering from exhaustion. When Gao Cang gave the order to rest, they immediately collapsed to the ground like dead dogs.
Gao Cang rested for two minutes, just to catch his breath, and quickly ordered the communications troops to get in touch with other Japanese and puppet troops.
This generation is a vast mountainous forest area, and the communication effect is very poor. The wireless telegraph phone cannot contact the nearby Japanese and puppet troops. Fortunately, the radio station can still be used. Takakura got in touch with Tanaka, who arranged for the Japanese and puppet troops to escape in the special operations team.
intercept in front of the direction.
The Japanese soldiers were really tenacious. They only rested for less than ten minutes before they followed Gao Cang desperately and chased forward. At this time, the puppet soldiers had already collapsed to the ground from exhaustion and were beaten very hard by the Japanese soldiers.
Far.
Gao Cang endured the discomfort caused by the anxious march, and it took about an hour before he stopped to rest. At this time, he discovered that soldiers kept falling behind on the road, and there were less than 30 people following him at the moment.
At this time, Gao Cang suddenly felt a little scared. Xu Dalong's special forces team was famous and had thirty or forty people, but now he only has less than thirty people under his command. With this small force, he may not be his opponent at all.
He was a smart man and knew that if he chased after him directly, not only would he not be able to eat the enemy, but he would also be very likely to be eaten by the enemy. So he simply let the Japs rest for a while. He did not want to get too close to the enemy in front. As long as he could follow them
He just wanted to follow them and keep track of their whereabouts. He hoped that the Japanese and puppet troops in front could quickly form a blockade to stop the escaping enemy troops.
Just when Li Qiulin and others attracted the attention of the enemy, Xu Dalong and others marched north. They were very careful when marching, setting up guard posts on the front, rear, left and right. They usually did not take roads, but specifically walked through dense forests to hide their targets as much as possible.
whereabouts.
Qiao Song, the leader of the special operations team, was clearing the way ahead. When they were about to walk out of a dense forest, the roar of an engine was heard in the distance. Qiao Song hurriedly stopped and then quietly came to the edge of the jungle, following the sound.
Look in the direction you came from.
At this time, they were on a hillside, and they saw a road winding past the foot of the mountain in the distance. There were trucks full of Japanese soldiers driving on the road. There were also Malaysian puppets wearing yellow and green military uniforms on the road in the distance.
The army's team is marching on foot on the road. If you like "The Independent Brigade of the Bright Sword", please save it: (www.sodu777.net) The "Independent Brigade of the Bright Sword" search and reading novel website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
