Li Qiulin still didn't understand, he said: "There is only one gate, how did they get out?"
Li Changshui's heart skipped a beat after hearing Xu Dalong's words.
He said: "The back wall of the raw material warehouse yard is the street. As long as the wall is demolished, won't the vehicles be able to get out? Hurry and prepare your car and go to the back to have a look."
After saying that, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and Li Qiulin hurried out the door, got in the car and came to the back of the chemical plant. Sure enough, I saw that a big hole had been torn down in the wall there, and the vehicles inside could no longer be seen.
This is the plan discussed by CITIC Oshima and the Super High School Section Chief to leave the chemical plant. They used 18 civilian trucks, with every six trucks forming a convoy, and one of the convoys carried the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops. They planned to drive the three convoys to different city gates after leaving the chemical plant, making it impossible for the enemy to follow them.
Although such measures have been taken, they are still a little worried. If the enemy sends multiple tracking teams to track them separately, they may still be followed by the enemy.
In order to avoid this situation, Oshima CITIC simply sent people to tear down the wall in the backyard of the chemical plant and drove the three convoys out.
Looking at the demolished wall of the chemical plant, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and others looked at each other, feeling very depressed. They had no idea when the Japanese convoy left the chemical plant or where it went after coming out. Even if they wanted to track it, they wouldn't know where to find them.
The surveillance teams staying at the gates of various cities are also facing this situation. They have no idea which vehicles need to be tracked. There are so many vehicles going out in Taiyuan City. God knows which vehicles the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops are hidden in?
After discussion, Xu Dalong and Li Changshui concluded that the Japanese anti-epidemic water supply troops had left Taiyuan City, and it was no longer necessary for them to stay here. They must try to intercept the Japanese anti-epidemic water supply troops on the road.
Although we don’t know which city gate the Japanese troops left through, one thing is certain, they will eventually head towards Licheng. Now that they have their whereabouts, there is a possibility of intercepting them.
They returned to the contact station and told Zhou Mingde and others to protect themselves and not be exposed, and then took Lin Xueying and others in a car to the east gate of the city.
After arriving at the east gate of the city, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and others became even more depressed. They found that the situation here was the same as that of the chemical factory. They were only allowed in but not allowed out. Now they could not leave Taiyuan City at all.
This is obviously a precautionary measure taken by the Japanese army to prevent the convoy from being tracked, and to buy time for the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops to stay away from Taiyuan City.
Xu Dalong and others knew that they would not be able to leave the city for a while. They found a parking lot and sent telegrams to Monk Wei and Sun Desheng. Then they notified Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang of the situation here and asked them to strengthen preventive measures.
After receiving the telegram from Xu Dalong, Wei Monk and Sun Desheng quickly checked the map leading from Taiyuan to Licheng County, and ordered the cavalry brigade and special operations brigade to disperse in squadron units on all roads leading to Licheng County. On the road, they disguised themselves as Japanese troops and set up checkpoints to conduct interrogations of passing convoys.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang received Xu Dalong's telegram and immediately sent a telegram to Gao Zhiyong, asking them to strictly block all roads entering the base area. The security regiment, county brigade, and militiamen sent people to block all roads, including country roads. . At the most recent stage, only people who were allowed to leave the base area were not allowed to enter. Even if a fly came in, it would be caught and the male and female would be identified.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others learned the lesson from the last time the Japanese 220th Regiment entered the mountainous area, and dispatched the Licheng County Security Regiment and County Brigade to block all roads into the mountain, preventing the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops from arriving. Any opportunity behind the Allied defensive positions.
In order to protect the anti-epidemic water supply troops, the Japanese army made great efforts this time and even blocked Taiyuan City for a whole day. Normal traffic was not resumed until the next morning.
Xu Dalong and others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly drove out of Taiyuan City to join Sun Desheng, Wei Monk and others.
After Xu Dalong and others left the city, Zhou Mingde sent someone to Xiao Lanjun's home, picked up her whole family, and left Taiyuan City for the Mawu Mountain base area.
Oshima CITIC and Super High School Section Chief led 20 special high school operation team members to escort the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops in six trucks and left Taiyuan City.
They were very careful along the way and found no suspicious vehicles following them. After they were far away from Taiyuan City, they finally felt relieved.
The head of the Super High School happily praised: "Oshima-kun, it seems that our plan is successful. Even if the enemy knows the existence of the epidemic prevention and water supply unit, we will not be able to track it."
Oshima Zhongxin was not as optimistic as the Super High School Section Chief. He shook his head and said: "Sergeant Sir, you can't be careless now. The enemy may have set up checkpoints along the way and is preparing to intercept us. According to intelligence, the enemy has A large number of cavalry troops are active in this area.
If they really know of our existence, they will most likely use various means to intercept us. "
The Super High School Section Chief also remembered it, and he said: "What you said makes sense. It is said that Xu Dalong's troops are particularly good at makeup. It is very likely that they will pretend to be our army and set up checkpoints on the road. If so, we will definitely be exposed of."
Oshima Chushin said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, in order to avoid this situation, I suggest that we send another telegram to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff and ask him to order the Japanese troops along the way to cooperate."
After the two discussed the contents of the message, they sent it to the chief of staff.
The Chief of Staff of the First Army received a telegram from Chunobu Oshima and came to see Yoshio Shinozuka.
He said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the epidemic prevention and water supply unit has successfully left Taiyuan City. It has been confirmed that no one followed them along the way. It is now heading to the front line of Licheng."
Yoshio Shinozuka said with great satisfaction: "Very good, inform them to speed up their march and attack the enemy as soon as possible."
The chief of staff said: "There are a large number of Eighth Route Army cavalry on the road from Taiyuan City to the front line of Licheng. They are likely to intercept the epidemic prevention and water supply troops on the way. Some corresponding preventive measures must be taken."
Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Just arrange this."
The chief of staff returned to the office and ordered his adjutant to notify all Japanese troops along the way from Taiyuan City to Licheng that they would deploy troops to search along the highway, and told them not to set up checkpoints along the way. If you encounter a checkpoint set up by the Japanese army on the road, it must be the Eighth Route Army in disguise, and you can fire at them directly.
If it is indeed discovered that Eighth Route Army troops disguised as Japanese troops have set up checkpoints, the situation must be reported to the combat duty room of the First Army Headquarters in a timely manner. If this situation is really discovered, it means that the Eighth Route Army already knows the existence of the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops.
Of course, the notice issued by the First Army Headquarters did not mention the epidemic prevention and water supply troops. After receiving the order, the Japanese troops along the route also issued a notice that all Japanese and puppet troops were not allowed to intercept pedestrians and passing vehicles under any pretext. At the same time, they were to conduct careful searches to guard against those Eighth Route Army troops disguised as Japanese troops.
On a highway in Taigu County, guerrillas from a detachment of the Third Squadron of the Special Warfare Brigade set up a checkpoint at a three-way intersection to conduct strict inspections of passing vehicles.
The special operations team members have rich experience in fighting behind enemy lines. In order to prevent accidents, of the detachment left by the No. 3 Squadron on the road, only one squad member was exposed on the road. The others were hiding behind temporary bunkers, holding up The machine guns and rifles are all loaded with bullets, ready to deal with unexpected situations.
The remaining two special operations teams were ambushing in green gauze tents on both sides of the checkpoint road. Not only that, many cavalry scouts were also dispatched nearby, ready to fight the Japanese army at any time.
They had to be so careful. After all, this was an enemy-occupied area. If an accident occurred, they would be easily besieged by the Japanese and puppet troops.
At 10 o'clock that morning, a Japanese convoy consisting of five trucks drove over.
The special operations team members at the checkpoint saw the Japanese trucks. From a distance, the trucks were empty. Even if the cabs of the five trucks are full, there are only 15 people in total. Moreover, since they are in the truck, if they fight, they will not have much advantage in front of the special forces members.
Despite this, the special operations team members remain on high alert and are ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
The Japanese convoy arrived at the checkpoint. A special operations team member stood in the middle of the road waving a small flag, signaling them to stop for inspection.
The truck stopped, and the passenger window of the leading truck rolled down, and a Japanese officer stuck his head out.
The special operations team member stepped forward, saluted the Japanese officer, and then asked him to show his ID and undergo inspection.
The Japanese officer took out not his ID, but a tortoise box, and suddenly shot the special forces member in the chest.
The special operations team member was caught off guard and was shot and died on the spot.
At the same time as the gunshots were fired, a large number of Japanese troops suddenly stood up on five trucks. They set up machine guns and rifles and fired violently at the special operations team members.
It turned out that the car was full of Japanese soldiers. They had been squatting on the car and could not be seen outside.
The Japanese military had already received a notification from their superiors, saying that all Japanese troops setting up checkpoints must be the Eighth Route Army. When they received intelligence that there was a checkpoint set up by the Eighth Route Army, they launched a surprise attack.
Due to the sudden incident, several Eighth Route Army soldiers standing near the checkpoint had no time to dodge and were shot and fell one after another.
The special operations team members reacted extremely quickly. The Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers hiding in the bunker opened fire violently at the Japanese troops on the truck.
The Japanese troops on the truck used firepower to suppress the Eighth Route Army while jumping out of the truck one after another.
At this moment, the special forces ambushing on both sides of the road opened fire on the Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers who jumped out of the truck were knocked down one after another. Some Japanese soldiers who were jumping out of the car were hit by bullets and fell directly to the ground.
The special operations team members were already prepared, and rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless rifles were fired at the Japanese trucks.
The truck burst into flames, and the Japanese soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties.
The Japanese troops on the truck were two infantry squads. They only saw dozens of special forces members on the road and thought that their strength was enough. Therefore, they boldly drove directly to the checkpoint, hoping to catch the Eighth Route Army off guard. .
Little did they think that there were large troops ambushed on both sides of the road. As a result, they lost a lot of rice instead of stealing the chicken. The Japanese soldiers of the two squads had no time to get out of the car to fight, and they were all wiped out by the special forces members of the third squadron.
The squadron leader of the Third Squadron telegraphed what happened here and reported to Monk Wei.
This was already the second report that Monk Wei received. Almost at the same time, both checkpoints were attacked by the Japanese army. Monk Wei judged that their action of setting up checkpoints disguised as Japanese troops had been noticed by the Japanese army.
In order to avoid heavy casualties, he immediately informed Sun Desheng of the situation. The two men issued orders at the same time, telling the members of the special operations brigade and cavalry brigade to stop setting up checkpoints and evacuate quickly.
Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and others who were driving on the highway received telegrams from Sun Desheng and Wei Monk, and they became even more depressed.
After this period of fighting with the Japanese army, they are now certain that there is a master hidden among the Japanese army. This person is quick-thinking and cunning, and has disrupted the plans of Xu Dalong, Li Changshui and others more than once.
After all this trouble, the precise location of the Japanese anti-epidemic and water supply troops has now been lost, and inspections on the highway are no longer possible. The Japanese army may enter the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army at any time in unexpected ways and launch biological and chemical weapons attacks. .
Faced with such a complicated situation, even though Li Changshui had been engaged in enemy work for a long time and had rich experience, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
Li Qiulin didn't feel nervous. In his mind, Xu Dalong was omnipotent. Even if the little devil was full of tricks, he would never be Xu Dalong's opponent.
He asked: "Captain, what do you think we should do?"
After Xu Dalong thought about it carefully, he said: "It's nothing special. There are a large number of troops, county brigades and militia in our base area, and even the common people are not easy to mess with. As long as the measures are taken properly, if the little devil wants to enter our base area, There is no way."
Lin Xueying knew Xu Dalong and knew that he was going to send a telegram to issue an order, so she quickly took out a pen and paper to record it.
Xu Dalong said: "Commander Li, Zhao Zhengwei, and Chief of Staff Zhang of the Mawushan Military Division also informed Gao Zhiyong that the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply unit has now escaped our army's sight and may enter the area controlled by our Eighth Route Army at any time.
All Eighth Route Army, county brigades and militiamen are required to send a large number of personnel to the base areas and behind our army's defensive positions to block all roads through which the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops may penetrate.
No personnel are allowed to enter or exit the base area until the end of the Licheng Campaign. If outsiders try to get close to the base, they are asked to leave immediately. If they do not heed the dissuasion, they can open fire directly.
Please convey the above decision to the 358th Brigade and 202nd Division of the Shanxi-Sui Army and ask them to take more precautions. Minister Li and I will rush back to the coalition headquarters soon. "
Lin Xueying handed the recorded content to Xu Dalong for review. After confirming that it was correct, she sent it to Li Yunlong and others.
