Miyamoto opened the door and walked in, bowed and said: "Major, what should we do with those prisoners of the Communist guerrillas?"
Hattori Hikoo took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "Have you passed the review?"
"After interrogation, five of them expressed their willingness to surrender."
"Their captain's name is..."
"Cao Yunfei, nicknamed Cao Shangfei, was a bandit from Baxiantai. He was incorporated by the Communist Party two years ago."
"How did Cao Yunfei know about the situation of the plainclothes team?"
"Not sure."
This result was expected. Those captured were all ordinary guerrillas, and it was impossible for them to have access to information related to decision-making.
It was precisely because Cao Yunfei blocked the plainclothes team that Tao Jianmin successfully evacuated to the Huanggang area with the remaining defeated soldiers. The plainclothes team suffered heavy losses, with six people dead and more than a dozen injured to varying degrees. If it were not for the gas bombs they carried,
It’s hard to say who will win in the end.
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment and said: "Except for the five who are willing to surrender, everyone else will be executed! It is up to you to carry out this matter."
"yes!"
"In addition, please be careful in the city recently to beware of retaliatory actions by the rebels!"
"yes!"
Three days later.
Two military vehicles, one behind the other, drove toward the Tomb of Heroes in the western suburbs. In the compartment of the front vehicle were fifteen or six guerrillas tied up with colorful flowers, and in the rear vehicle were a group of armed military police escorting them.
A team member whispered: "Brothers, cheer up, the boss will definitely come to save us!"
Another team member who kept coughing said: "How to save? Ahem... you didn't see the machine gun on the roof of the car... Ahem, if you ask me, it's better not to come, captain, because if you do come, you will die... Ahem, cough, cough!"
"
Luo Tuo was silent for a while and said: "The boss's temper is definitely here!"
"Luotuo is right, the boss can't watch us die..."
"Then what should we do?"
"We are all tied up. We can't help even if we want to."
"well……"
Luo Tuo quietly took off one of his shoes, lay down and slowly pulled out a handful of small iron pieces from the sole with his mouth, and then said: "Help me block the devils, don't let them see!"
The team member next to him said in surprise: "Luotuo, when did you hide a blade?"
Camel: "This is not a blade, it is a screwdriver."
Everyone knows that Luotuo is very handy. He likes to tinker with various broken objects and feels a sense of accomplishment after repairing them.
Luo Tuo carries this homemade screwdriver with him every day. Before being tied up by the plainclothes team, he secretly stuffed it into the sole of his shoe unprepared.
The carriage had a baffle, and the camel was half-lying and half-lying in the carriage. The Japanese soldiers in the rear carriage did not notice. They were responsible for escorting the prisoners, as long as no one jumped out of the carriage and escaped.
The camel held the screwdriver in his mouth and cut the ropes one by one for the team members. Not all of them were cut, but a small part was left. As long as he struggled hard, the rope would break.
"Camel, well done!" someone praised from the side.
The camel turned around and asked others to follow suit, cutting half of the rope on his body, and then whispered: "If the boss comes to rescue us, everyone listen to me and shout, jump out of the car and run away together!"
One team member said: "Is it possible? The Japanese will definitely shoot!"
Another team member said: "You have to give it a try whether it works or not. Just count as many as you can. Brothers, don't get together when you run. Don't be a target for the Japanese!"
An hour later, the car became more and more bumpy. The camel leaned out and looked out. There were thorns on both sides of the road, and the bushes and weeds were more than one meter high.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo..."
The call of the cuckoo came from the forest. The camel listened for a while and said happily: "The boss is here!"
If Cao Yunfei wanted to hijack the prison car, this place did have a unique geographical advantage. Not only was it convenient for ambush and hiding, but the bushes could effectively hinder the Japanese army's shooting during the retreat.
At this time, there were at least thirty people lying in the bushes. Cao Yunfei stared closely at the approaching military vehicle, pointing his gun at the driver.
The guerrillas suffered heavy losses this time. There were more than 40 casualties and prisoners, and almost half of them were damaged. This was really difficult for Cao Yunfei to accept. His character determined that this rescue was imperative, like a moth rushing to a flame.
!
——Even if I die, I will die with my brothers!
This is what Cao Yunfei said fiercely.
The captain had such determination, so his men naturally obeyed his orders. Except for the seriously wounded who did not come, the rest of the guerrillas were all here.
"boom!"
Cao Yunfei pulled the trigger, and the bullet passed through the windshield and hit the driver's chest. The military vehicle lost control and crashed into a tree on the side of the road, then stopped diagonally on a narrow dirt road.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!……"
Suddenly, gunshots rang out.
The Japanese soldiers in the car behind immediately jumped out of the car and each looked for bunkers to fight back. The crooked machine guns on the roof of the car also opened fire, shooting wildly into the bushes.
"Chug, tug, tug, tug!"
"Chug, tug, tug, tug!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The Japanese troops escorted by the vehicle were only a small detachment, about twenty people. Although they were on par with the guerrillas in terms of numbers, the gap in firepower between the two sides made the battle almost one-sided.
The Japanese army all use long-range guns, which can shoot with high accuracy at short and medium distances. With the addition of the machine gun, the weapon advantage is obvious.
The guerrillas could not bring rifles into the city. They all used pistols. It would be better if it was a close-range firefight. The two sides were thirty or forty meters apart, so they suffered too much in terms of range.
Miyamoto hid in the back of the car, observed with a telescope for a while, and then ordered: "There is no need to risk an attack, just bite them, the major will send troops for reinforcements soon!"
Cao Yunfei was also very anxious. With the firepower of the guerrillas and the cover of the bushes, he could barely hold on. If the enemy had another new force to join, he would be so anxious!
If the stalemate continues like this, not only will the captured brothers be unable to be saved, but it is also unknown whether the people they brought will be able to escape!
"Chug, tug, tug, tug, tug!"
The crooked machine gun fired a barrage of bullets, and two more team members fell in a pool of blood. In just ten minutes, five or six people had been killed.
"Damn it, who can kill that machine gunner for me!" Cao Yunfei cursed.
A team member braved the hail of bullets, crawled forward and reached the edge of the bush. He raised his pistol and was about to take aim. He was immediately overwhelmed by the dense bullets and couldn't raise his head.
The machine gunner was in a commanding position, and his shooting range was wide and without blind spots. His firepower was the biggest threat, and he fired almost completely. This was why the captured team members in the carriage never dared to jump out of the carriage.
"boom!"
There was a sudden gunshot, a bullet fired, the continuous sound of machine gunfire stopped abruptly, the machine gunner was shot in the head, and his body fell into the carriage.
