"Team leader, didn't you agree to raid the supply convoy before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
As soon as the Wang translator left, Guo Qiyun couldn't help but ask.
However, Mingtai gave him a look, telling him to calm down, and then turned to Uncle Li and asked: "Uncle Li, what's going on? Didn't you say before that there are no people from you in the labor camp?"
Before he finished speaking, before Uncle Li could speak, Dong Yan on the side quickly explained: "That's it, Team Leader Ming, although strictly speaking, Xiao Wang is not one of ours, but his father, Lao Wang, is not only
The security chief of Lishui County is also the stationmaster of our underground transportation station here. He just returned from studying in Japan last month, so..."
"That's it..." Mingtai nodded after hearing this, and then said apologetically to Uncle Li, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I just spoke a little hastily, please don't take it to heart."
Uncle Li waved his hands repeatedly, "It doesn't matter, it's a rescue plan, no matter how careful you are. But to be honest, brother Xiao Guo and I also have the same question. Wasn't our previous plan always to raid the supply convoy?
?Why the sudden change of plans?”
"Uncle Li, you just said that when it comes to the rescue plan, you can't be too careful. It's not that I don't trust you and Brother Dong Yan, but I want to nip in the cradle all factors that may lead to the failure of the operation.
, I hope you can understand."
"Team Leader Ming, after all this, you still don't trust us! If you don't trust us so much, why did you come to us for cooperation in the first place?"
"Old Dong!" Seeing that Dong Yan's mood was a bit wrong, Uncle Li quickly said something to him.
Cheng Jinyun also took the opportunity to comfort him: "Brother Dong, you misunderstood. Team Leader Ming didn't mean that."
Before he finished speaking, Mingtai said as if adding fuel to the fire: "No, that's what I mean! I don't care if his father is one of our own, just because of his position as a translator, I must maintain enough respect for him.
Suspicion and vigilance. Doing this is not only responsible for this action, but also for everyone sitting here, so no matter how dissatisfied you are, Brother Dong, I must do this!"
"That's right!" As soon as these words came out, Yu Manli on the side immediately agreed.
"you!"
"Okay, Old Dong! I know you feel very uncomfortable now. Although I trust that translator Wang very much, Team Leader Ming's worries are not unreasonable. So just in case, we will retreat to the mountains soon. No
We live in the town. In this way, even if there is a problem with the Wang translator, it will not affect the overall situation. What does Team Leader Ming think?"
“So best!”
"I want you to go, but I won't go! I don't believe that Xiao Wang would do such a dirty thing!"
"you!"
Seeing that Dong Yan wouldn't stop talking no matter what, and even acted as if he was indifferent, Mingtai also became angry. Just as he was about to say something, he was pulled aside by Uncle Li.
"Team Leader Ming, you don't know that Dong Yan is a native of Lishui County. He and Xiao Wang are good brothers who grew up together. The relationship between the two is closer than that of real brothers, so..."
"Oh, that's it. No wonder..." After hearing this, Mingtai suddenly nodded, "But even so, we can't let him stay here alone. It's too dangerous. Otherwise... I
You might as well stay."
"No!" Before Mingtai could finish his words, Dong Yan rejected Mingtai's proposal without hesitation, "Since you don't trust Xiao Wang so much, don't stay and die! But if the Japanese don't come tonight
if."
"Brother Dong, don't worry, if that's really the case, I will solemnly pour you tea and admit my mistake!"
After hearing this, Dong Yan immediately turned his anger into a smile, "Okay! This is what you said, a gentleman's words!"
"Hurry up and whip your horse!"
…
However, Dong Yan's hearty laughter still lingered in his ears. In less than two hours, he had turned into a cold corpse and fell heavily under the Japanese butcher's knife.
Dong Yan's sacrifice made the situation of the already undermanned rescue team even worse, and morale dropped to the extreme.
Everyone just sat there silently without saying a word. Only Mingtai squatted alone in front of the weapons box and checked the guns and ammunition one by one.
However, soon two more figures took the initiative to join the inspection: Cheng Jinyun took out his handkerchief and poured gun oil on it, carefully wiping the dust on the gun, while Yu Manli carefully pressed the guns and ammunition against the heads.
In terms of distribution, the three of them seemed to form a small assembly line, with clear division of labor and seamless cooperation.
It was like this until dawn, when Guo Qiyun finally couldn't help but suggested: "Team leader, how about..."
"No!" Although Guo Qiyun did not finish his words, Mingtai flatly refused as if he already knew what he was going to say.
But even so, Guo Qiyun still tried his best to persuade: "Team leader, now is not the time to be petty. The Japanese are already on guard. They will definitely send more manpower. We should go back and ask for help!"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jinyun on the side said: "There is no time. Didn't you listen to your team leader? These people will be shipped out by the Japanese early tomorrow morning. This is our last chance!"
"What kind of opportunity is this? This is suicide! Team leader..."
However, Mingtai still chose to answer him with silence. Guo Qiyun suddenly became anxious and walked to Yu Manli's side and said urgently: "Yu Manli, don't just watch from the sidelines. Quickly help to persuade him!"
"
But Yu Manli glanced at him, "What are you trying to persuade? He is the team leader. I will do whatever he says!"
Guo Qiyun had no choice but to turn his head and look at Uncle Li, "What about you? What do you think?"
Uncle Li thought seriously for a moment, and then said: "It's not hopeless. The Japanese have just killed Lao Dong and the others, and they must be very proud of themselves. This is also the time when they are least prepared psychologically. If we
If we continue to implement the original plan, we may actually have an opportunity."
Only then did Mingtai finally say to Guo Qiyun: "If you don't want to do it, you can quit now!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Guo Qiyun, making him feel uncomfortable all over. "Why...are you all looking at me? Do you think I am too scared to go?"
Yu Manli mercilessly took the opportunity to choke out: "If you want to leave, just say so. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back alive to see your sweetheart. We understand!"
This greatly stimulated Guo Qiyun, and he simply ran away from his only point of reason, cursing "Crazy, crazy" while picking up a flower trap from the weapon box and using it.
Carry it on your back.
Although there were many episodes and major setbacks, fortunately, everyone finally reached a consensus before the action, which increased the chance of success for the action.
And when Uncle Li, who was the first to get ready for arms, saw that most of the weapons and equipment were left in the weapons box, he couldn't help but sigh: "When I used to fight guerrillas in the mountains, it was like being alone.
It was prosperous, and three or four people built it with a rusty Hanyang pole. But now? The brand-new Chinese formalities and flower arrangements are enough, but the people are gone!"
Speaking of this, Uncle Li couldn't help but sigh.
However, before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out, "Who said there is no one left?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the cave immediately stopped what they were doing and looked towards the entrance of the cave. They were shocked to see Li Qiang walking in from the outside, followed by two men and one woman, also wearing special combat uniforms.
helper.
"Brother A Qiang! Why are you here?" When he saw Li Qiang coming in, Cheng Jinyun was about to say hello, but Mingtai beat him to it, and then was stopped by Uncle Li's look.
"I know you are short of manpower, so I have brought you some helpers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Qiyun couldn't help but said: "Let me explain, sir, since we are here to recruit more people, why don't you bring more people here!"
However, before Li Qiang could speak, Haitang on the side chuckled and said: "Little brother, please watch out. Everyone in our God of Wealth team is the elite among the elites. Don't treat us like ordinary people."
Compared with agents, how many more people do you want to deal with a mere squad of Japanese?"
Guo Qiyun was not stupid. He knew that Haitang's "ordinary agent" was alluding to him, but he did not dare to get angry because he knew that Haitang was just telling the truth, so he had to lower his head silently.
Li Qiang then cleared his throat and introduced everyone one by one: "Let me introduce to you. This is the disguise expert of our God of Wealth team, codenamed 'Blast'; this is the blasting expert of our God of Wealth team, codenamed '
Shower'; as for this beautiful lady, she is the strategist of our God of Wealth team."
After speaking, Li Qiang glanced at Uncle Li, and then asked Mingtai: "Who is this?"
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Li, the head of the Shanghai Red Party's underground party."
However, Li Qiang just nodded slightly to Uncle Li, said "Hello", and stopped communicating too much like a stranger. He just said a few words and was about to turn around and leave.
When Mingtai saw this, he quickly asked: "Brother Aqiang, are you leaving?"
"Of course. If we don't rush back, it will most likely arouse Wang Manchun's suspicion."
"Then let her be suspicious. We just won't stop doing it." Mingtai said while making a gesture of raising a knife and lowering it. "Let her end up with the labor camp!"
However, as soon as these words came out, Li Qiang flatly refused: "No!"
"Why?" Mingtai looked puzzled.
"No, if I say no, I won't. You will know the specific reasons when the time comes. I'll leave first!"
After saying that, Li Qiang left without looking back.
As soon as Li Qiang left, Haitang clapped his hands and said to everyone: "Okay, then... who of you will tell me the specific plan?"
Mingtai and Uncle Li first looked at each other, and then told the entire action plan very simply, even the temporary plan they had made with Wang Translator.
After hearing this, Haitang fell into deep thought and thought silently, and the cave fell into silence again.
After about an hour passed like this, Haitang suddenly said, "Map!"
Before he finished speaking, Mingtai immediately laid the map on the ground.
With the help of the faint light from the torch, Haitang accurately found a place that the supply convoy must pass through. While marking it, he said: "This is the only path that the supply convoy must pass through, Guo Qiyun! You lead two guerrillas."
The team members will follow me and Hayate to attack the convoy, is there any problem?"
"no problem!"
"Uncle Li, you and Cheng Jinyun went to town pretending to be Japanese expatriates to sell sake. This stuff is in hot demand here and will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese. When the time comes, Mingtai will be in charge of sniping their commander from the commanding heights. As long as the first
If you kill their commander at once, the operation is basically half successful."
After hearing this, Uncle Li nodded at first, but then frowned and said, "It's a good idea, but we don't have that much sake to sell, right?"
"Don't worry, our team leader has already secretly sent someone to deliver it, and it's hidden in a warehouse in the town."
"What about me?" Seeing that everyone else had tasks, Yu Manli couldn't help but asked anxiously.
Haitang waved his hand, "Don't worry, isn't it your turn? Yu Manli, you and Xue Yu lead the rest of the people to ambush in the woods. After the Japanese army escorts the laborers, you want to
Set up roadblocks to cut off their escape route!"
"good!"
"Is everyone clear about their respective tasks? If so, check the equipment and set off separately after dawn to start taking action!"
"yes!"
If there was still a lot of worry on everyone's faces before, now it has been wiped away and replaced by a look of determination.
After finishing packing, a ray of light gradually appeared in the distant horizon. Mingtai sat on the top of the mountain, silently staring at the horizon, quietly waiting for the arrival of dawn.
At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him, followed by a gust of fragrant wind. Cheng Jinyun came to Mingtai and sat down. He also looked at the horizon and said to himself:
"What, are you nervous?"
"Of course, I am an agent. I have never been on the battlefield or fought in such a battle, let alone commanding. I can't even...even command as calmly and calmly as Sister Haitang! It seems like what Brother Aqiang said.
That's right, now I am only suitable to be the leader of an action team..."
"No, it's not." Cheng Jinyun quickly denied after hearing this, "In my opinion, you have already commanded very well. Didn't that sister just make some minor adjustments to your plan? So... Qian
Don't belittle yourself and underestimate yourself."
"Thank you. But even if you say so, you can't change anything. I just have many shortcomings."
"It is precisely because of shortcomings that we can make progress, isn't it?"
"That's right." Mingtai smiled in relief, "It seems that after this operation, I have to study hard."
"I'll help you!"
"Really? Then we have an agreement! A gentleman's words?"
