When Zhu Ziming was about to leave, Wang Xuexin said to Li Yunlong at the right time: "Commander, I'm thinking...since the devils have set a trap in the northwest corner, their forces must be concentrated in the northwest, why don't we change the direction?"
Where’s the breakout?”
Li Yunlong replied: "You mean... let's just go to the northeast?"
"That's what it means!" Wang Xuexin replied: "Since it's dark now and the Japs can't figure out the situation, let's secretly change direction and walk a few miles east. The Japs definitely don't have many troops in that area, and they are unprepared. They might just rush over.
Got it!"
Although the Japanese have invested a division of troops, this division surrounds a large area and it is also a mountainous area. There is still a shortage of troops here and there.
Li Yunlong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, just do it like this. This method is much more reliable! I think..."
As he spoke, he took out the map from his pocket and quickly spread his poncho to block the light.
Li Yunlong looked at the map with a flashlight inside and said, "I think Mawei Slope is suitable, let's break out from there!"
Wang Xuexin looked at the location and thought it was suitable, not too far and not too close, seven miles away.
If it is too far, the Japanese will react and find that there is no one here, and they will take precautions in other directions, and it is best to break out before dawn, as it will not be so easy once dawn.
If we are close and the gunshots are fired to break out of the encirclement, the Japanese here will immediately rush to reinforce them, and then they will fall into a trap.
Thinking about it, Wang Xuexin nodded and said: "Sure, let's go to Maweipo!"
After that, Wang Xuexin looked in the direction Zhu Ziming left. Although it was dark and couldn't see clearly, Wang Xuexin still vaguely saw a dark shadow flashing.
Obviously, Zhu Ziming was eavesdropping secretly and heard the location. He really left now to avoid suspicion.
Then, Li Yunlong made a series of arrangements.
He designated a platoon to stay and continue to operate in this area, creating the illusion that the independent regiment had not yet left, and ordered them to retreat to the hinterland of the mountains in the other direction to mislead the Japanese.
A small platoon of troops can move more flexibly in the mountains without having to worry too much about being encircled and suppressed. Moreover, Li Yunlong left a few days of food and some bullets for them, asking them to retreat and fight guerrillas in the mountains, and wait for the opportunity to break out and return.
establish.
The other troops moved quietly in the darkness.
The Eighth Route Army is very experienced in this regard. They have often moved or made sneak attacks under the eyes of the enemy before... The equipment is too poor and there is no other way. The Eighth Route Army can only try to take advantage of the suddenness of the battle.
Wang Xuexin was greatly impressed by the soldiers' operations.
For example, iron products were wrapped in cloth to prevent them from hitting each other and making noise during marching.
Another example is filling up the kettle with water.
That is to say, two and a half pots are made into one pot. If the pot is not full, it will be emptied.
This is because a half-filled pot of water will make a "ding-dong" sound when walking, while a full or empty pot will have no problem.
Finally, check your backpack to make sure there are no metal or hard objects in it before setting off.
As expected, there was no sound at all as the team advanced in the darkness, and the soldiers walked slowly and slowly one after another, without pushing or pushing, in a very orderly manner.
If you hadn't walked right in front of you, you wouldn't have noticed that there was another team lining up in the jungle like ants moving.
On the other hand, the troops who stayed in place deliberately made some noise to cover the transfer of the main force.
After walking for more than half an hour, the speed gradually increased, and then the soldiers straightened up one by one.
Wang Xuexin realized that it was temporarily safe, so he hurried forward and found Li Yunlong.
Wang Xuexin looked before and after and made sure that Zhu Ziming was not nearby, so he lowered his voice and said: "Commander, we can't attack Maweipo!"
"What are you talking about?" Li Yunlong got a little angry: "Xiao Dongbei, why did you just change today? You can't joke about fighting. People are here now and then, why don't you tell me that you can't do it? Why did you do it earlier?
Gone!"
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin said, "Don't you think there is something wrong with Zhu Ziming?"
Li Yunlong was startled and asked solemnly: "What's wrong? Just because the prisoner provided false information? That's not his fault..."
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Li Yunlong and asked, "Does the Security Section capture prisoners? Or did you order the Security Section to do this?"
Li Yunlong couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.
He had never thought about this before, but now that Wang Xuexinyi said it... he felt that it was true.
Catching prisoners has always been the job of the detectives. The mission of the Security Section is to ensure that the troops are not infiltrated by the enemy. Zhu Ziming was just meddling in other people's business.
"I can't say for sure..." Li Yunlong said: "I happened to bump into it when the security department was patrolling!"
To prevent enemy infiltration, the Security Section needs to patrol the perimeter of the troops. It is not impossible to run into puppet troops.
"If it's a patrol, shouldn't it be divided into several parts and take turns?" Wang Xuexin replied: "But I asked around and found out that this prisoner was captured by seven people from the security department! And it is two miles away from our army's habitat!"
After hearing this, Li Yunlong fell silent. The patrol would not go that far. It was clearly to capture prisoners with a purpose.
Wang Xuexin added: "What's more, in this case, what's the point of capturing the information of the trap? Not only will we not get any valuable information, but we may also expose our position, right?"
Capturing prisoners for interrogation is usually done before attacking the enemy's position, because it is necessary to know the enemy's troop strength, number, firepower points and other information.
It is extremely rare for someone like Zhu Ziming to capture a prisoner when he is being chased and surrounded by Japanese soldiers. How many people are chasing him?
Li Yunlong nodded silently, what a coincidence.
On a whim, Zhu Ziming did something special and captured a prisoner who was originally of little value. However, the prisoner revealed a very valuable piece of information, which happened to be a trap...
Each of these things is fine if you look at them individually, but if they are put together... it becomes a big problem.
Thinking about it, Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel itching with hatred. He looked back with a murderous look and said, "I've capsized in the gutter. I let that kid fool me! He's a traitor, I'll give him a good look!"
"
After saying that, he held the box and the cannon and went to find someone.
Wang Xuexin hurriedly stopped Li Yunlong: "Commander, now is not the time. We can settle the score slowly. I am leading the Japanese to Maweipo!"
"What?" Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this: "You kid already knew this?"
"Commander!" Wang Xuexin said: "Don't we have no evidence? If the Japanese were really led to Maweipo, they can't be wrong!"
Li Yunlong secretly praised, Xiao Dongbei still had a way, the spy would have leaked the secret after just one try.
Then I thought...
Damn it, if Maweipo was a trap from the beginning, wouldn’t I have been kept in the dark too?
