"Bage Yalu, apologize quickly, or you will die." The person Xiao Lanjun hit was Matsui Mugen, the deputy captain of the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply unit. He was very angry and started to curse.
Xiao Lanjun came to his senses and quickly apologized to Matsui Mugen.
When Matsui Mugen saw Xiao Lanjun's beautiful appearance and attractive figure, he immediately became obsessed with her.
This is a Japanese-owned factory, Xiao Lanjun is an employee of the factory, and Matsui Mugen cannot arrest people at will.
However, he quickly thought of a way. He found the Japanese-owned factory director and said that Xiao Lanjun was acting suspiciously and was suspected of spying on Japanese military intelligence. He wanted to take Xiao Lanjun back for review.
The factory director couldn't afford to offend Matsui Mugen, so he agreed to Matsui Mugen's request. Soon, Songsongmugen sent two soldiers and took Xiao Lanjun to his residence.
Xiao Lanjun suffered inhuman treatment, and then left the yard in despair. She became so confused that she didn't even know how she got home.
That night, Xiao Lanjun dreamed of Matsui Mugen's ferocious face, which scared her so much that she woke up with a scream.
She sat on the bed blankly, tears streaming down her face. Gradually she stopped crying and her eyes were full of hatred.
She now deeply regrets not being able to help Xu Dalong and the others. Her biggest wish now is to find Xu Dalong and the others and help them fight these hateful devils.
But she didn't know where to find Xu Dalong.
Zhou Mingde's people are doing business in Taiyuan, and they can deal with people from all walks of life, so they have a wide range of information. Soon they found an employee who worked in Taiyuan Chemical Plant. Unfortunately, this employee had not been to the raw material warehouse and the situation inside was not clear.
They found two more people from chemical plants through this person, and the situation was the same. Neither of them had been to the raw material warehouse. This is normal. A chemical plant is so big, and some departments have no direct relationship with each other, so they don’t know much about what’s going on inside.
Zhou Mingde reported this situation to Xu Dalong and Li Changshui. Both of them believed that they could not continue the search because people were talking too much and might arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army.
At this time, Zhou Mingde provided another piece of information. When people at the intelligence station were chatting with people in the chemical factory, they heard that several incidents of female workers being molested by Japanese soldiers occurred in the factory.
After analysis, Xu Dalong and Li Changshui speculated that maybe this incident could touch Xiao Lanjun, and he might sympathize with and help the anti-Japanese war. Xu Dalong plans to talk to Xiao Lanjun again.
That night, Xu Dalong and Lin Xueying came to Xiao Lanjun's home again.
After seeing Xiao Lanjun, Lin Xueying said: "I'm really sorry to bother you again..."
Before Lin Xueying could finish speaking, Xiao Lanjun gritted his teeth and said, "You guys came just in time, I was just going to find you."
The two followed Xiao Lanjun into the house, and Xiao Lanjun said eagerly: "I am willing to help you, I just hope you get rid of those damn devils."
Xu Dalong and Lin Xueying immediately understood that Xiao Lanjun must have been stimulated by the incident of a female worker in a chemical plant being rude to Japanese invaders, and then she completely changed her attitude.
In order to answer Xu Dalong's detailed inquiries, Xiao Lanjun took out a pen and paper, drew a topographic map of the raw material warehouse for them, and provided some information about what she saw in the yard when she was captured, saying that there were many Japanese officers and soldiers inside. , many of them were wearing white coats, there were several military trucks parked inside, and there were many soldiers with guns standing guard in the yard.
Xu Dalong was very happy after mastering these situations. He also asked about the types and quantities of chemical raw materials stored in the raw material warehouse. After hearing this, Xu Dalong was very depressed.
After Xiao Lanjun provided the information, Lin Xueying said with concern: "Ms. Xiao, the chemical plant is no longer safe. I have a suggestion. If you and your family are willing to go to our base area, we can help you with life and work matters." arrange."
Xiao Lanjun is now very disgusted with the chemical factory. She has thought about leaving there, but because of her family's livelihood problems, she has to bite the bullet and go to work in the chemical factory.
Through the last conversation, she already knew that Su Xiaoyan and her lover Wang Xinmin lived very well in the base area. The people there lived and worked in peace and contentment and would not be bullied by the Japanese and puppet personnel. All this made her yearn for.
Hearing Lin Xueying say this, she was very happy and immediately said: "I do."
Lin Xueying said: "We will arrange this matter immediately, but I hope you will be patient for the next two days and continue to work in the chemical plant. We will come and inform you when to evacuate."
Returning to the trading company, Li Changshui asked: "Brother Dalong, what is Ms. Xiao's attitude this time? Have you obtained the required information?"
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "The situation is clear."
Li Qiulin said excitedly: "That's great, we can start to deal with those little devils."
Xu Dalong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work in a chemical plant."
Li Changshui asked in surprise: "What's going on? Has the Japanese army strengthened the guard force again?"
Xu Dalong said: "That's not the problem. There are a large number of chemical raw materials stored in the raw material warehouse. Many chemical raw materials are flammable and will release a large amount of toxic gases after burning.
There are thousands of employees in the chemical plant, and there are also a large number of residential buildings around the chemical plant. If a chemical plant releases a large amount of toxic gas, it will cause heavy casualties to innocent people. Obviously it is not appropriate to do it in a chemical plant. "
Hearing what Xu Dalong said, everyone felt very depressed. Now that we know the exact location of the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops, it is easier to get started. The Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops may leave Taiyuan City at any time, and it is inconvenient to follow them on the road. If they are lost and their traces are lost, it will be very difficult to find them again. Everyone started a discussion around this topic.
After discussion, Xu Dalong and others decided to strengthen monitoring of chemical plants. In order to prevent the Japanese army from playing tricks, surveillance teams were dispatched to all six gates of Taiyuan City, carrying radio stations and equipped with a car. Once traces of the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops were discovered, they would be tracked immediately.
Xu Dalong asked Lin Xueying to find Xiao Lanjun again and asked Xiao Lanjun to try to monitor secretly.
Oshima Zhongxin found more and more that the Eighth Route Army was too difficult to deal with. The ideas he came up with either fell behind the Eighth Route Army or were directly discovered by others. This time, even the tunnel digging trick didn't work.
He now feels as if his actions have been monitored. The Eighth Route Army may have been aware of the epidemic prevention and water supply unit, and even knew that the exact location was at the chemical plant.
Although he didn't have any evidence yet, he always had a premonition and felt a chill running down his spine, as if someone was always watching him.
Oshima Zhongxin clearly knows that there are now a large number of Eighth Route Army cavalry troops on the front lines of Taiyuan City and Licheng. There must also be Eighth Route Army intelligence agencies in Taiyuan City. If the whereabouts of the epidemic prevention and water supply troops cannot be kept strictly confidential, as soon as they leave Taiyuan The city may be in danger.
He thought of two plans, one of which was to ask the First Army Headquarters to send a large force, such as an infantry regiment or more, to escort the epidemic prevention and water supply troops. However, under the current circumstances, the Japanese army simply cannot mobilize so many troops, and if he makes such a request, he will definitely be considered incompetent by his superiors. If someone has the ability to send an infantry regiment to escort, what use does Oshima CITIC have?
The director of the Super High School is also struggling with how to transport the epidemic prevention and water supply troops to the front line. He also knows that it is unrealistic to propose sending a large force to escort. So the two of them discussed how to accomplish this task.
The two of them thought hard, racked their brains, came up with many plans, and then rejected them one by one. Finally, they figured out a way.
The two of them thought about this method again and again, and believed that the possibility of success was extremely high, so they came to the First Army Headquarters together and reported to the Chief of Staff.
After listening to their plan, the chief of staff thought it was feasible and asked them to hurry up and implement the plan.
On the front line of Licheng, Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng continued to dig in the preserved tunnel, and dug the tunnel downward not far from the trench dug by the enemy.
Based on the original foundation, this tunnel was dug six to seven meters downward and passed under the enemy's trench.
After careful calculation, Wang Sanqiang believed that the tunnel had been dug to the rear of the enemy's forward position, so he decided to start digging upward.
When they were close to the ground, they were very careful, listening to the movement on the ground while digging. In order to be able to detect small movements on the ground, such as someone walking around, Wang Sanqiang also used his brain a lot.
He borrowed a stethoscope from the medical team accompanying him. He first attached the pickaxe handle to the wall, and then attached the stethoscope to it. This enhanced the sensitivity and enabled him to detect movements on the ground in time.
Because the distance was too far, it was impossible to clearly see the situation behind the Japanese forward positions from the Eighth Route Army's positions. Wang Sanqiang and others were worried that the Japanese army would discover the entrance to the cave. If that happened, all their previous efforts would be in vain. So they decided to dig out the hole at night.
At midnight that day, Wang Sanqiang dug upward himself. As he dug, he used his stethoscope to listen carefully to the movement above. He listened every few inches he dug.
Perhaps it was because the Japanese troops outside were already asleep, or perhaps the tunnel exit they chose happened to be far away from the Japanese troops. In short, Wang Sanqiang did not hear any movement.
He dug upwards carefully, and finally dug a hole, from where he could see the stars twinkling in the sky.
Wang Sanqiang was very nervous, fearing that the cave entrance would be too close to the Japanese army and be discovered by the Japanese army. He pricked up his ears and listened to what was going on around him.
Fortunately, no sound was heard.
He dug the hole a little further and quietly stuck his head out.
He looked around and felt that he was lucky. The nearest tent of the Japanese army was more than 30 meters away, and there were overgrown weeds and even a layer of shrubs near the entrance of the cave. If the Japanese army didn't happen to come here, it would still not be easy to be discovered.
After Wang Sanqiang carefully observed it, he took out a prepared wooden board, placed a pile of weeds on the wooden board, and blocked the hole.
The next morning, Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng came to the coalition headquarters and reported the situation in the tunnel to Li Yunlong.
Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng continued to dig tunnels without reporting to Li Yunlong in advance. This was really an unexpected surprise for Li Yunlong.
He originally came up with a way to dig tunnels and spent a lot of thought and manpower and material resources on it. However, the Japanese army discovered it and he gave up.
Unexpectedly, Wang Sanqiang and Lin Husheng actually saved a hand and gave him a big surprise.
Li Yunlong was very happy and said: "You two boys are really good, you did a great job. When this battle is over, Laozi will reward you well."
Wang Sanqiang was very happy to be praised by the commander and said: "Thank you, commander. This is what we should do."
Lin Husheng said: "Commander, how do you plan to reward us?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Lin Husheng, what kind of reward do you want? I will record your merits for you. At the worst, I will reward you with a pound of sweet potatoes. That's okay, right? I don't have any bonuses."
Lin Husheng said with a smile: "Commander, I didn't mean that. Do you think this is okay? I don't want any meritorious service or awards. If you really want to reward us, let our security regiment organize a commando team and pass Go underground and attack the Japanese."
Li Yunlong liked Lin Husheng's proactive spirit of actively seeking battles. He smiled and said: "If you really have a boy, this can be considered, but you cannot be allowed to organize a commando team alone. The main force of the commando team should still be people from the New 1st Brigade.
You can organize a platoon, be sure to select those who are smart and capable, and don't let anything slip at the critical moment.
Equip them with the best equipment and follow the new brigade when the time comes. "
Lin Husheng knew that this was because Li Yunlong looked down upon the combat effectiveness of the security regiment. It's no wonder that the guard regiment has just been established, and in terms of combat quality, it is still much worse than the veterans of the new brigade.
The commander can give himself a place in the platoon, which has already given him enough face.
He said happily: "Thank you so much, Commander. I will personally lead the team this time and I promise not to embarrass you."
Having said this, he asked with some anticipation: "Commander, when will we start taking action?"
Of course Li Yunlong wanted to use the tunnels to teach the little devils a lesson right away, but as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he must consider the overall situation of the campaign. This hard-won tunnel must of course be reserved for the most critical moment to play its role.
He said: "This has to wait a while. I need to give you some time to train the commando team well and wait for orders from the headquarters at any time."
Wang Sanqiang envied Lin Husheng very much. He also wanted to join the commando team, but now he was the deputy chief of the enemy's engineering department. He had no soldiers under his command, so he could only covet.
