Xu Dalong introduced the situation to Masha Wen and asked for his opinion. Masha Wen said: "I have a way. I can prepare a herbal medicine. After a person eats it, his body will become weak in a few minutes and he will be unable to do anything. If you use some strength, the person will pass out in a short while.”

Hearing this, Xu Dalong's eyes lit up, and he thought this was the best way. As long as this drug can be put into the meals of the Japanese army, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

Xu Dalong made up his mind and just did it.

He gave another 50 yuan to Masha Wen and the herb collector, asking them to prepare the herbal medicine, and sent several special forces members to assist them in searching for relevant medicinal materials.

After a day of preparation, Masavan prepared the herbs, which were dried and processed into powder.

Xu Dalong looked at the powders. These powders had no special smell and were not easy to detect from the smell. It's just that these powders are dark yellow in color, so it will definitely not work if mixed into rice. The only way was to put them into the soup that the Japanese soldiers drank.

Xu Dalong and others carefully studied the method of poisoning. They have already observed that when eating, the Japanese soldiers must eat separately from the workers. The workers will not be accidentally injured when poisoning, and the Japanese soldiers gather together to eat, which is an advantageous condition for poisoning. .

However, these powders cannot be used in advance. Even if they are colorless, if they are placed in rice, they will be washed away with water.

The only way was to put it in the Japanese army's soup. The soup was darker in color and could completely cover up the traces of the powder. Moreover, the powder dissolved in the water and was more effective.

Now the question arises, how to put these powders into the soup when the meal is served. That's right under the noses of the Japanese, and it's impossible to do without an insider.

Xu Dalong thought twice and decided to take a risk. He planned to sneak into the Japanese army's kitchen quietly, wait until the meal was served, take advantage of them unprepared, and add medicine to the soup.

Xu Dalong decided to take the risk himself, but was unanimously opposed by the special forces team members. If it is other actions, everyone knows that Xu Dalong is very skilled, and everyone can rest assured that he will complete the task.

But this time it was different. When the meal was served, almost all the Japanese soldiers were in the kitchen. If something went wrong, there would be absolutely no chance of escape. After all, Xu Dalong is the captain of the Mawushan Guerrilla Brigade, and the team members will never let him take risks.

A young soldier named Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, let me complete this mission. I am the smallest and thinnest in our special forces team, and it is easier to hide."

Tang Wenxuan is just 1.6 meters tall and has a thin build. He was selected to join the special forces team because he was smart, good at climbing, and able to perform some special tasks.

Xu Dalong is tall and tall, and he is really not as good as Tang Wenxuan when it comes to hiding his figure.

Xu Dalong is familiar with every soldier in the special operations brigade and also understands his family situation.

He said with concern: "Tang Wenxuan, this mission is too dangerous. You are the only son in your family. If something happens to you, I can't explain it to your parents."

Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, I am not the only only son in our special operations team. Besides, you are the only one left in your family. You take the lead every time, why can't I do it?"

Xu Dalong was very moved and said: "Well, the task will be left to you. You must be careful and don't force it. You go to reconnaissance first. If there is no way to hide, come out quickly and we will think of other ways. "

Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to complete the mission."

Now that we have entered the rainy season, there are not many sunny days, and it is cloudy at night, with extremely low visibility.

Xu Dalong and Monk Wei personally accompanied Tang Wenxuan down the mountain and came to the outside of the barbed wire fence. They helped him cut the barbed wire and gave him a few words before letting him climb in.

During the day, Tang Wenxuan had already seen clearly the location of the Japanese kitchen. At night, except for the sentries, all the Japanese soldiers were asleep.

He made it to the kitchen easily. The kitchen door was ajar, so he felt his way in.

He looked carefully at the position of the stove and felt very worried. There was no hiding place around the stove, so he couldn't secretly put the medicine into the soup pot.

He saw two large water tanks placed in the corner of the house, and wanted to pour the medicinal powder into the water tanks, but he could not guarantee whether the Japanese soldiers would use the water in the tanks when making soup. It is very likely that the water in the tank will be used up when washing vegetables, and when cooking, someone will come in with water and refill the water tank. If that is the case, the medicinal powder will be in vain.

He looked closely at the kitchen and realized that no matter where he hid, it was impossible to completely cover his body.

He looked for a long time and found a hiding place, which was the woodshed near the kitchen.

However, the woodshed is seven or eight meters away from the kitchen. If he wants to add medicine in the kitchen when dinner is served, someone will definitely see him. Not only that, after entering the kitchen, there were Japanese cooks in the kitchen, so he might not have a chance to drug him.

He thought about it for a long time and came up with a way, but he was a little unsure. He wanted to discuss it with the captain, so he returned the same way under the cover of night and came to the outside of the barbed wire fence.

He reported what he saw in the kitchen to Xu Dalong and Monk Wei. Both Xu Dalong and Monk Wei thought that the plan to drug them would be difficult to implement.

Xu Dalong said: "Let's go back and think of another way."

"Captain, I still want to give it a try." Tang Wenxuan requested.

Monk Wei said: "If you don't have a chance, don't take the risk."

Xu Dalong wanted to hear Tang Wenxuan's opinion, so he said, "What do you think? Tell me."

Tang Wenxuan said: "I want to hide in the woodshed. When the Japanese want to eat, I will come out of the woodshed. I am small, about the same size as most of the Japanese soldiers, and I can speak Japanese. They may not Pay attention to me. Even if someone sees me as a stranger, it will not necessarily arouse their suspicion. There are more than 200 soldiers there, and they will definitely not recognize each other."

Monk Wei said: "You are just fooling around. The little devils live together all day long. Can't they see that you are a stranger?"

Xu Dalong said: "What Tang Wenxuan said makes sense. The Japanese soldiers often fight, and many people will die in battles. It is common to recruit new soldiers, and they will become accustomed to seeing new faces."

What Xu Dalong said makes perfect sense. If it were a peaceful time, soldiers would live together and be familiar with each other. Even if they were not in the same squad, they would at least be familiar with each other.

It's different in the war years. There are casualties in the army and new recruits are added at any time. In this case, the soldiers will be relatively indifferent to each other and pay less attention to other people, so they won't pay too much attention to unfamiliar faces.

The reason why Monk Wei ignored this was because the special operations team had extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the losses in each battle were very small. The teammates were all old partners and were very familiar with each other, so he ignored this detail for a while.

He recalled that this was indeed the case when he was in the 72nd Division of the Fruit Army, and he agreed with Tang Wenxuan's opinion.

He said with some worry: "Then how could you sneak into the Japanese kitchen?"

Tang Wenxuan said: "There are two large water tanks in the kitchen. I can use it as an excuse to drink cold water and I will act accordingly."

Xu Dalong and Wei Monk thought carefully and thought that the soldiers in the cooking squad had little communication with other Japanese soldiers and would not necessarily doubt Tang Wenxuan's identity. As long as Tang Wenxuan could successfully enter the kitchen, there might be a chance to complete the mission.

Xu Dalong said: "You must be careful and never take risks. If there is no chance, just hide in the woodshed again and come out at night."

Tang Wenxuan said: "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely be able to complete the mission."

After saying that, he saluted Xu Dalong and Monk Wei, and got into the barbed wire fence again.

Xu Dalong and others took advantage of the night to hide outside the barbed wire fence and prepared for the attack.

It was still not bright yet, and Tang Wenxuan saw the lights coming on in the kitchen. It must be that the Japanese soldiers were getting up to make breakfast.

He was hiding in the firewood pile and heard someone moving outside. Then the door of the woodshed opened and a Japanese soldier walked in. He picked up a bundle of firewood and walked out without even closing the door of the woodshed.

Tang Wenxuan waited patiently. The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and then the sound of whistles was heard in the barracks. The Japanese soldiers got dressed and came out for morning exercises.

Soon after, the morning exercises ended. The Japanese soldiers washed their faces, brushed their teeth, tidied up their housework, and then lined up in the courtyard to prepare for dinner.

Kang Wenxuan walked out of the woodshed and walked towards the kitchen as if there was no one else around.

After he entered the kitchen, a fat Japanese cook saw him and asked, "What can I do for you?"

Tang Wenxuan said with a smile: "I'm thirsty and want to drink some water."

The fat devil said: "Dinner will be served soon. Let's wait for the soup."

Tang Wenxuan said: "My mouth is too dry and I can't wait any longer." After saying that, he picked up the water ladle, opened the lid of the cylinder, and took a few sips.

The fat devil didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued busy.

While Tang Wenxuan drank water, he looked at the soup pot, which was steaming and churning constantly. A Japanese soldier had already begun to remove the fire from below, and the soup was obviously ready.

A thin-faced Japanese soldier saw that Tang Wenxuan had not left yet and asked, "Have you not had enough to drink? Leave quickly and go out to eat."

Tang Wenxuan said: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

In the army, it is common for soldiers to help cook, especially during war years, when supplies are expensive and scarce, and soldiers all want to eat good food.

When he was helping in the kitchen, not only could he eat a little secretly, but he also became familiar with the cooks. When he was cooking, he would be able to eat more good things if he dug more with his spoon. Therefore, many people are willing to help in the kitchen.

The Japanese cooking soldiers were obviously used to this. The fat Japanese soldier said, "Come here and help me carry the rice out."

Kang Wenxuan looked happy, walked over quickly, and carried a large pot of rice out with the fat man.

Tang Wenxuan is a new face, but each Japanese detachment has new recruits, and they don't know each other.

Seeing that Tang Wenxuan was unfamiliar, they all thought he was from another team, so no one paid attention to him at all.

Tang Wenxuan put down the rice and followed the fat devil back to the kitchen. He saw an elderly Japanese soldier ladling soup from a soup pot into a marching pot on the ground.

He hurried forward and said, "Let me do it."

Although the soup spoon is relatively large, it is still difficult to scoop a large pot of soup into the army pot one by one. When the little devil saw that someone was willing to do this hard work, he was naturally very happy. He smiled at him and handed the spoon to him.

Tang Wenxuan poured soup into the marching pot while paying attention to the Japanese soldiers. Seeing that the Japanese soldiers didn't notice him, he quietly took out the cloth bag from his pocket and poured the powder into the soup pot. He stirred vigorously with a spoon and continued to pour soup into the army pot.

After ladling the soup, he followed a Japanese soldier with a scar on his face to carry the soup pot out.

After putting down the soup pot, Tang Wenxuan was ready to leave. However, unexpectedly, the old devil stopped him and asked him to serve soup to the devils.

Tang Wenxuan originally wanted to hide, but when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but secretly complain. He had no other choice but to stay here.

Monk Wei hid in the grass outside the barbed wire fence and saw Tang Wenxuan serving soup for the Japanese. He was very happy, knowing that this guy must have succeeded. He immediately ordered his team members to prepare for battle.

The Japs left one after another when they had eaten and drank enough. Some of the big eaters or slow-moving ones were still eating there.

Soon after, the medicine began to take effect. As the devil walked, his body became weak and he fell to the ground. The Japanese soldier who was eating lay directly on the table.

The Japanese cooks and soldiers had not eaten yet. Seeing this situation, they were all shocked and didn't know what was going on.

Tang Wenxuan decisively pulled out a Browning pistol from his waist and opened fire on the Japanese cooks. The Japanese cooking soldiers also have strong combat effectiveness, and he will not give them a chance to get their guns.

Xu Dalong and others heard the gunfire and immediately rushed to the barbed wire fence. They had already cut the barbed wire fence, came to the barbed wire fence, pulled it open with their hands and got in.

At this time, there were Japanese sentries in the barracks who had not eaten. They saw guerrillas getting in through the barbed wire fence and shot at them.

Xu Dalong and the sharpshooters had been staring at the Japanese sentries for a long time and quickly killed them.

Most of the Japs who had eaten had lost consciousness. Only a few Japs who had drunk less soup were still somewhat conscious. They struggled to resist and were quickly eliminated by the special forces. The battle ended soon after. .

Xu Dalong and others rescued the imprisoned prisoners of war and the workers, and also captured a Japanese engineer.
