Wang Jin seized a Japanese walkie-talkie, a state-of-the-art P40. Although it was not the same model as the one used by the guerrillas, calls could still be made using the same frequency band.
Wang Jin and the special operations team members seized the weapons from the agents. When Wang Jin picked up the walkie-talkie, questions came from the walkie-talkie. It was obvious that the Japanese and puppet troops behind heard the gunshots here and asked what happened?
Wang Jin heard that the questions inside were in Japanese, so he answered in Japanese, saying that he had found traces of the guerrillas. Of course, the location he reported was in another direction. He didn't know whether the other party believed it. It would be better if he could deceive the Japanese and puppet troops, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jin's words had an effect. The other party obviously believed it. The other party was probably not familiar with these two agents. The other party said they knew and asked them to continue tracking the guerrillas and report at any time.
Wang Jin was happy, but he didn't expect that a deep voice came from the walkie-talkie, asking: "Why are the shots fired over there? Have you been discovered?"
This question is difficult to answer. Fortunately, Wang Jin's mind is very flexible. He said: "The gunshots were fired in front. We don't know what happened. It should be that the guerrillas encountered another special agent team. There was an incident between the two sides." They did not detect us. The guerrillas have changed their direction, and we will continue to track them and report back at any time."
The person who asked the question was Gao Cang. He believed that the guerrillas had changed their marching direction, and the other party's report was more reasonable.
Gao Cang chose to believe Wang Jin's answer and told him to keep a close eye on this guerrilla group, never let them discover it, and report to him at any time.
This was really an unexpected gain. Wang Jin was very happy, so he caught up with Li Qiulin and others with his walkie-talkie and reported to him.
Li Qiulin was also very happy about this and told Wang Jin to simply use his plan to lead the Japanese in another direction.
Wang Jin thought this was a good idea, so he agreed with Li Qiulin on a meeting place, and then led two special forces members to another direction. As they walked, they reported to the Japanese troops at regular intervals and left road signs for the Japanese troops to point out the direction of the guerrillas' advance.
Gao Cang was really fooled. Based on Wang Jin's report, he gave an order to the Japanese troops in another squadron to go in the direction of the guerrillas to intercept them. But what he didn't know was that the direction Li Qiulin and others were marching at this time was completely different from the direction he was following.
Li Qiulin discussed with Li Jiming that they should take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Japanese army focused their attention on this area and immediately return to the guerrillas' original base to join the remaining guerrillas.
Yao Fang and others have been trapped in the cave for twelve days. The trapped guerrillas, especially the workers, are almost mentally broken. Their situation was really difficult. They had finished the dry food they had prepared, and they could not light a fire in the cave. They could only eat raw rice and drink a little salt water. It's almost impossible for everyone to hold on if this continues.
Thanks to Yao Fang, he endured his physical discomfort to comfort the guerrillas and workers. The deputy squad leader and special forces members of the special operations team also played an active role, encouraging everyone to persevere. I believe that the captain and others will come to rescue everyone soon.
The optimism of Yao Fang and the special forces members infected everyone. Those underground party activists developed by Yao Fang also cooperated with their work and played a pacifying effect to a large extent.
However, the trapped time was too long. Everyone only ate uncooked rice and no vegetables. Many guerrillas were obviously unwell, and several of them started to have diarrhea, which made the cave smell very bad. The guerrillas, especially the laborers, were about to collapse and they insisted on leaving the cave.
Seeing everyone's excitement, Yao Fang discussed with the deputy squad leader that he would send someone out tonight anyway, at least to let everyone come out for some air. The people sent out had to find a way to find some fruits and other things in the mountains to supplement everyone's nutrition. As for whether they would be discovered by Japanese spies hiding in the mountains, they couldn't worry so much.
That night, it was originally agreed that everyone would go out for a walk in the middle of the night, but no one could wait any longer. One worker had completely collapsed. He was crying and clamoring to get out.
Yao Fang had no choice but to discuss with the deputy squad leader of the special team and agreed to everyone's request.
The deputy squad leader was very cautious, but he still asked for ten minutes to go out and see the situation first.
The deputy squad leader found his way out of the cave. Not long after leaving the cave entrance, he suddenly saw a few black shadows flashing not far away. He was startled and hid in a hurry.
The other party obviously saw him and hid immediately.
The deputy squad leader held the shell gun tightly in his hand, and his finger was already on the trigger, ready to fire at any time. Although at this time he was basically sure that the black figures in front of him were Japanese and puppet agents, he did not shoot rashly because at night neither party could see clearly where the other was actually hiding. Whoever fired first would be Expose the target.
The people coming from the opposite side were Wang Jin and Li Jiming. When they saw the black shadow in front of them, they couldn't judge the identity of the other party for a moment. However, since they knew that the cave was nearby, they suspected that the other party was more likely to be a guerrilla.
Li Jiming first asked: "Who are you, the person opposite?"
There was no answer. Li Jiming spoke a local language in Malaysia. The deputy squad leader heard the voice and although it sounded familiar, he didn't dare to answer because he didn't understand what he said.
Wang Jin also thought that the other party might be a special operations team member and he might not understand Li Jiming's words, so he asked in Chinese: "Who is the person opposite? Please answer."
At this time, Wang Jin and Li Jiming were also holding rifles with bullets loaded and ready for battle. If the other party is not one of your own, he will definitely not answer your questions. If this is the case, the identity of the other party can be determined and they will evacuate quickly.
The deputy squad leader heard Wang Jin's voice very clearly. They were comrades in the same class and got along day and night. Although Wang Jin lowered his voice, the deputy squad leader heard it very clearly.
He said happily: "So it's the monitor, I'm Zhou Qiang." After that, he stood up and walked towards Li Jiming and others.
Wang Jin and others also emerged from their hiding places. Although it was cloudy at this time, the moonlight could still penetrate the clouds. Under the weak moonlight, Wang Jin and Zhou Qiang faced each other, and they could recognize each other's faces, and then they hugged each other excitedly.
Soon Zhou Qiang was brought to Li Qiulin. Seeing Li Qiulin, Zhou Qiang was very excited and stood at attention and saluted him.
Li Qiulin held his hand and said kindly: "Zhou Qiang, thank you for your hard work. Is everyone okay?"
Zhou Qiang said happily: "Don't worry, captain, everyone is hiding in the cave and the target has not been exposed. Except for a few team members who are sick, everyone is fine."
Next, Zhou Qiang reported to Li Qiulin how they had been hiding in the cave these days.
Li Qiulin asked Wang Jin to set up security around the area, and then asked Zhou Qiang to call out all the guerrillas in the cave.
Zhou Qiang returned to the cave and announced the good news to everyone. The guerrillas who were originally very depressed suddenly became excited and couldn't help but let out low cheers. Zhou Qiang then asked everyone to keep quiet and walked out of the cave one by one.
We can no longer stay in the cave. The sanitary conditions inside are too poor. If we stay any longer, everyone may get sick. Li Qiulin decided to transfer immediately.
As a guide, Li Jiming led everyone into an inaccessible mountain forest and temporarily hid themselves.
After dawn, everyone woke up, and Yao Fang, Li Qiulin, Li Jiming, Wang Jin and Zhou Qiang discussed the next step. Yao Fang proposed to solve the food problem quickly. These days, the bodies of the guerrillas hiding in the caves are almost unable to bear it due to their abnormal diet.
He proposed to cook a meal quickly, even if it was just for everyone to have a sip of hot soup. However, under the current circumstances, this is still a luxury hope. There are still many Japanese and puppet spies in the mountains. Since it is the rainy season, everything is wet and it is difficult to find dry firewood. Even if wet firewood can be ignited, it will emit a lot of thick smoke, which can easily expose the guerrillas' targets.
After discussion, everyone decided to leave this area and find a village outside the mountains to solve the food problem. But before that, the guerrillas were physically overwhelmed and needed to supplement their nutrition, otherwise they would not be able to march long distances.
Therefore, Li Qiulin decided to send people down the mountain first to get some dry food and nutritional supplements so that everyone could have a full meal and regain some strength.
This is a very dangerous job. Nowadays, there are not only Japanese spies in the mountains, but also Japanese troops searching the mountains. It is very difficult to send people down the mountains to get food and then bring it back.
Yao Fang volunteered and asked to go down the mountain to get food. But these days, his physical strength has been failing to keep up. Li Jiming simply decided to go down the mountain himself.
Li Qiulin asked Wang Jin to go with him. The two took three special operations team members and walked out of the mountain.
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, they did not even dare to take the path and walked directly through the dense forest. It is easy to get lost in the dense forest. Fortunately, the special forces team members have the ability to identify directions in unfamiliar places. Coupled with Li Jiming, a local expert, they will not lose their way.
Li Jiming and others were very careful along the way and discovered an intelligence team of the Japanese and puppet troops on the way. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he did not deal with them, but took another detour to avoid them. After several hours of hard march, Li Jiming and others finally arrived near a small mountain village.
Li Jiming, Wang Jin and others did not dare to enter the village rashly. They observed for a full hour and made sure that there were no Japanese and puppet activities in the village before entering the village.
This is a small mountain village with only a dozen households. There is a family in the village that Li Jiming is familiar with. Li Jiming explained his purpose and gave some money to the family, who agreed to make a batch of dry food for the guerrillas. Since this takes time, Li Jiming et al. Just wait in the village.
For safety reasons, Wang Jin did not enter the village. He took a special operations team member to observe the situation around the village on the top of a nearby mountain.
Just after Li Jiming and others entered the village, about half an hour later, a group of enemy troops suddenly appeared from the west. The Japanese army had one squad, and the puppet army had about one platoon, with a total of more than 40 people. They were marching in the right direction. It's that small mountain village.
Wang Jin hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to call Li Jiming. For some unknown reason, Li Jiming and others did not reply. I want to see the Japanese and puppet troops getting closer and closer to the small mountain village. If they go down the mountain now and run to notify Li, it will be too late. In order to prevent Li Jiming and others from being surrounded in the village, Wang Jin made a prompt decision and decided to alert the enemy and mobilize the enemy.
Wang Jin picked up his sniper rifle, aimed at the Japanese leader Cao who was walking in front of the team, and shot him. The bullet hit the Japanese soldier Cao Chang in the chest, and he fell to the ground.
At the same time, the special operations team also fired at the Japanese and puppet troops and also killed a Japanese soldier.
The Japanese and puppet troops encountered a surprise attack. They were very panicked and immediately looked for cover to hide.
In order to mobilize the enemy, Wang Jin and the special operations team members still shot at the Japanese and puppet troops. Soon, the Japanese and puppet troops discovered that there were very few people on the other side, so they rushed towards Wang Jin and others.
After Li Jiming and two special forces members in the village heard the gunshots, they immediately prepared for battle. They judged the enemy's situation by listening to the gunshots outside.
The special forces team members were very experienced. They heard the gunshots coming from where Wang Jin and others were hiding. After thinking for a while, they understood that this must be the sudden arrival of the Japanese and puppet troops. Wang Jin and others were attracting the enemy's attention. force to protect them.
The special operations team member explained the situation to Li Jiming in a few words, and the three of them immediately left the village and evacuated in the direction opposite to the gunfire. Before leaving, they did not forget to bring some dry food and some bacon stored by this family.
After Li Jiming and two special forces members left the village, they climbed up a nearby hillside and looked in the direction of the gunfire. They saw many Japanese and puppet troops facing away from them, shooting at a hillside, and launched an attack forward.
Of course, Li Jiming couldn't let Wang Jin and others be in danger by covering him. He proposed that he and two special forces members would attack the Japanese and puppet troops from behind.
The special operations team members declined his kindness and told Li Jiming that they did not know the enemy situation around them, and perhaps there were a large number of Japanese and puppet troops nearby heading here. The priority is to get rid of the enemy quickly rather than entangle with the enemy.
They first tried to use the walkie-talkie to contact Wang Jin, but the walkie-talkie broke down and they still couldn't contact him.
The special operations team members made a prompt decision, fired several shots into the sky, and then quickly evacuated with Li Jiming and others at the pre-arranged location.
Wang Jin, who was attracting the enemy, heard gunshots in the distance and knew that this was a signal from Li Jiming and others, proving that they had left the village and begun to move. So he and the special forces team member fought and retreated, and soon got rid of the enemy's pursuit. An hour and a half later, they met up with Li Jiming and the others at the pre-arranged location. (End of chapter)
