The Japanese officers and soldiers at the checkpoint saw the two trucks in front of them suddenly stopped, which immediately aroused their suspicion. They all raised their guns and were ready for battle. The machine gunner even opened the bolt of his gun and was ready at any time.
shooting.
In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Japanese army, Li Qiulin walked to the Japanese checkpoint alone.
Li Qiulin's actions reassured the Japanese troops at the checkpoint. They first felt that there must be nothing wrong with the two military vehicles. Otherwise, the other side would not dare to come to the checkpoint alone. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers relaxed, but they still kept a close eye on them.
Li Qiulin walked over, wanting to see what he was going to do.
When the Japanese commander Cao saw a major arriving, he stepped forward to salute him, asked him what was going on there, and very politely asked to check Li Qiulin's ID.
Xu Dalong and others had already made preparations when they came to Malaysia this time. They knew that the fifth division of the Japanese army was stationed here, so the documents they prepared also belonged to this division.
Li Qiulin took out his certificate and handed it to the Japanese commander Cao. After he read it, he said to him: "The car I was riding in broke down due to lack of water. Do you have any water here? Provide us with some."
After reading Li Qiulin's ID, the Japanese commander Cao felt that there was no problem. He also felt that there was no problem with Li Qiulin's request. He told Li Qiulin that they had water here, but it was in water bags, and Li Qiulin needed to send someone
Come and carry the water back yourself.
Although there is water everywhere in the mountains and fields of Malaysia, most of it is not drinkable because it contains a lot of germs. The Japanese army set up checkpoints here, and people were specially sent to bring water to them. The water used to store water was made of rubber.
Water bag.
Li Qiulin was hoping to do this in order to buy time. He wanted to go back and tell the driver, but he was worried that walking back now would arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army. So he shouted to the car and asked the driver to come and fetch water.
The special operations team member who was driving heard Li Qiulin's words and understood what he meant. He deliberately took his time to find a bucket, and then walked slowly towards this side.
After all their troubles, two Japanese military vehicles from the opposite side drove over. They also stopped at the checkpoint, accepted the inspection, and then continued to drive forward.
At this time, Li Qiulin and the others also faced a problem, which was that there were many guerrillas in plainclothes on the truck. Two Japanese military vehicles drove over and were about to pass them by. It was impossible not to see these plainclothes guerrillas on the truck.
The guerrillas, even if all the special forces members stood up and made the guerrillas squat down, it would not be possible to block the Japanese army's sight at such a close distance.
Of course, this is not difficult for the special operations team members in the truck. They have already asked the guerrillas to put down their weapons in advance, take off their bullet bags and dry food bags, then put their heads in their hands and squat in the compartment of the truck, as if they were
Migrant workers or prisoners captured by Japanese officers and soldiers. This looked much more natural. As a result, two military vehicles full of Japanese officers and soldiers passed by them, ignored them, walked away, and disappeared soon after.
.
Li Qiulin waited for the two trucks full of Japanese soldiers to go away. In order to delay, he took out a box of cigarettes, took one out and handed it to the Japanese leader Cao.
When the Japanese commander Cao saw a major officer being so polite to him, he quickly took out a match, lit it, protected the flame with his hand, lit it for Li Qiulin first, and then took a nice sip himself, and then the two chatted.
stand up.
The driver of the special forces team took water from the Japanese army's water bag and filled the engine's water tank with water. Then the two trucks drove over. The trucks drove to the checkpoint and stopped again.
Li Qiulin expressed his gratitude to the Japanese commander Cao and turned around to enter the cab. The Japanese commander Cao followed him very diligently to see him off.
As Li Qiulin walked, he quietly reached for his gun. At this time, the Japanese at the checkpoint had already relaxed their vigilance and were busy with their own business. No one paid attention to this area anymore.
Li Qiulin walked to the cab and turned around. The Japanese leader Cao thought Li Qiulin wanted to say goodbye to him. Just as he was about to speak with a smile, he saw the black muzzle of the gun in Li Qiulin's hand. Before he could react, Li Qiulin picked it.
The trigger was pulled and the bullet hit him directly in the heart.
The special forces and guerrillas on the truck were already ready for battle. When they saw Li Qiulin taking action, they shot at the Japanese and puppet troops at the checkpoint. At this time, the guerrillas had already picked up their weapons.
He got his weapons and followed the special forces team members to shoot at the Japanese.
The special forces team members had already prepared their division of labor. At this time, the distance was so close, and the Japanese were unprepared and were caught off guard. In just ten seconds, all the Japanese at the checkpoint were killed.
The guerrilla captains and guerrillas were very short of bullets when they fought in the past, but this time they were addicted to guns. Seeing that the Japanese were wiped out, even though they now had a lot of weapons and ammunition, they still rushed over with cheers.
, seized all the weapons and ammunition from the Japs and loaded them on the truck.
Li Qiulin and others deliberately wanted to expose their target, so they did not deal with the corpses of the Japanese and just let them lie there.
After everyone got in the car, they continued to drive forward. After more than 40 minutes, they saw a fork in the road ahead, one of which led west to the mountainous area.
Li Qiulin did not want to engage in a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the plains, so he chose to go west, preparing to enter the mountains again at the front.
Colonel Takakura commanded the Japanese and puppet troops to surround the dense forest ahead from all sides. He concluded that the guerrillas should be in the dense forest ahead. He ordered the troops to spread out and search carefully before moving forward.
This dense forest is very large, and movement on the mountain is inconvenient, so the search speed is relatively slow, but the encirclement is still shrinking little by little. They first found the original location of the guerrillas, but at this time there was no one there.
At this moment, news suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain. Someone discovered the burning military vehicle on the road, and immediately used the radio to notify Gao Cang, who went into the mountain to search.
After Gao Cang heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and almost suffered cardiac arrest. His vision went dark, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the Japanese soldier next to him saw his body shaking and hurriedly helped him.
That's why I didn't fall.
Gao Cang has now realized that Xu Dalong and others should have jumped out of the encirclement he set. He really doesn't understand when and where these people escaped. He now feels a deep sense of powerlessness.
Feeling that he was no match for Xu Dalong and others, he couldn't help but feel a little downcast.
But Gao Cang was a stubborn militarist after all, and he would never be willing to fail like this. He sat on the ground and drank some water, rested for a while, and finally recovered his energy.
According to reports from the puppet troops who discovered the burned convoy at Yamashita, in addition to the burned convoy, two trucks drove away. The trucks used by the Japanese army have a load capacity of one and a half tons, and a truck can carry no more than 30 people.
Gao Cang judged from this that there were only thirty or forty enemies who left in trucks. According to the information he had, the guerrillas now recruited dozens more workers, plus Xu Dalong and his original people and the guerrillas
The number of people in the team did not match. This shows that only some people jumped out of the encirclement and were active outside, while at least some people still stayed in the mountains.
So Gao Cang decided to leave some of his troops behind and continue the search, trying to find the remaining guerrillas. He took the rest of his troops down the mountain and continued to track Xu Dalong and others.
Tanaka sent a large number of informants, and soon they also discovered the bodies of Japanese soldiers at the attacked checkpoint. From this, he determined the general direction in which the guerrillas were leaving, and then reported it to Gao Cang.
At this time, Gao Cang had no shame to report to the division commander and asked to send troops to reorganize the pursuit and interception. He decided to lead his men to follow the enemy's tracks. He vowed to catch up with Xu Dalong and others and annihilate them.
, so as to relieve the bad breath in my heart.
Tanaka's work efficiency was still very high. He notified the Japanese and puppet troops around the location where the guerrillas appeared, asking them to provide information. Soon after, the news came over, and someone saw two military vehicles driving from the fork in the road.
Mountainous areas to the west.
They saw that in addition to Japanese officers and soldiers on the truck, there were also people in civilian clothes with guns in their hands. According to this intelligence analysis, these people were most likely the guerrillas who attacked the checkpoint.
Tanaka immediately reported the situation to Gao Cang again, and Gao Cang led people to track them along the highway. Later, they saw the two trucks abandoned by Li Qiulin and others again. From this, they judged the road they took into the mountain.
Gao Cang was very tired after a day of hard work, but there was a fire burning in his heart that supported him, regardless of fatigue, and led the Japanese and puppet troops into the mountains again for tracking.
After Gao Cang and others left, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops searched all over the mountains and fields for the remaining guerrillas. Most of Malaysia has a tropical rainforest climate, which is very conducive to the growth of plants. A small hill can hide thousands of guerrillas.
It is not easy for people and horses to detect them from a distance. It is not easy to find the guerrillas hiding in this huge forest. The exit of the cave where the left-behind guerrillas are hiding is very small and hidden in the bushes. If they had not known it in advance,
It is difficult to find even if it is only a few meters away.
Although the enemy searched carefully, they still found nothing. However, the guerrillas who stayed in the cave were very nervous. The people guarding the entrance of the cave had clearly heard the voices of the Japanese talking outside. The guerrillas were very worried, because once
If they are discovered by the Japanese, they will be sealed inside. This cave has only one exit. Once discovered by the Japanese, they will have no choice but to die.
Yao Fang was guarding the entrance of the cave at that time, and his palms holding the pistol were already sweating. Fortunately, the Japanese left shortly after, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After about an hour, Yao Fang listened carefully and could no longer hear anyone moving around. He decided to go out and take a look.
But he was stopped by someone, and the person who stopped him was the deputy squad leader of the guerrilla team left behind by Li Qiulin. He told Yao Fang that he must not be careless and must continue to wait patiently until dark before going out for observation.
Yao Fang was very convinced of the members of the special team and accepted his suggestion.
The deputy squad leader's caution was justified, because the Japanese who entered the mountain did not leave. According to Gao Cang's order, they determined that the remaining guerrillas were hiding in the mountain, but they could not find it for a while. Therefore, they participated in the search of the mountain.
Three infantry squadrons of the Japanese army decided to stay overnight in the mountains and forests that day. They sent some of their people and formed many surveillance groups with those sent by Tanaka, scattered everywhere, hoping to find traces of the guerrillas.
There is water and dry food prepared in advance in the cave, which is enough for the guerrillas left behind for a few days. However, there is one problem that is difficult to solve, and that is the convenience of the guerrillas.
There is not much space in the cave. If all conveniences are taken care of in the cave, there will be no way to stay in the cave. The guerrillas tried their best to endure it and planned to stay up until night to go out for convenience. However, the deputy squad leader of the special force who stayed behind firmly stopped them and would rather
Let them deal with it in the cave, and they are not allowed to go out.
It wasn't until late in the night that the deputy squad leader felt that the problem was no longer serious, so he agreed to the guerrillas' request. However, he was still very cautious and decided to go out and have a look first to make sure there was no problem before letting everyone out.
The deputy squad leader gently pushed aside the branches of the shrubs at the entrance of the cave and walked out carefully. He carefully observed his feet every step he took, for fear of accidentally stepping on a stone and making a noise. If you like the independent brigade of Bright Sword, please
