"If the situation is not right, protect yourself first! You can handle the specific matters by yourself. If you think it is feasible, you can use force to protect yourself. But the prerequisite is that none of the Japanese can leave alive. Exchange point." It had been two days since he left Chongqing, and the words the bureau chief explained before leaving were still echoing in Tang Cheng's mind. In one more day, Tang Cheng and the others would be able to arrive at the exchange point in advance. Tang Cheng was still hesitating whether to kill the Japanese who came to exchange hostages.
The exchange point selected by both parties was in a long-abandoned village. This long-abandoned village was almost the same distance from the national defense area and the Japanese defense area. Tangcheng is good at urban combat, and this kind of field combat is still unfamiliar to Tangcheng. Fortunately, among the participants in this exchange operation, there were two national army officers seconded from the military. With their assistance, Tangcheng, who had obtained the terrain map in advance, already had a preliminary plan in mind.
With only one day left to reach his destination, Tang Cheng ordered him to rest where he was. He planned to sleep during the day and move forward after nightfall. In exchange for the bargaining chip, the Hornbill not only had his hands handcuffed, but after leaving Chongqing, Tang Cheng also ordered four grenades to be fixed on the Hornbill's waist. Others did not express any objection to the precautionary measures taken by Tang Cheng, because they all knew that this female agent was the key figure in this operation. Once something goes wrong with this female spy, the fate of these people will never be better.
Night fell quickly, and Tang Cheng, who turned on the triple eyepiece skill, acted as the vanguard, and everyone else walked more than 20 meters behind Tang Cheng. After six hours of continuous advancement, Tang Cheng and the others were now less than 50 miles away from the exchange point. Tang Cheng once again ordered them to rest in place. "Lao Xie, according to our speed, we can reach the exchange point tomorrow night. We must be on guard against others. I plan to set off early after noon and rush over to check the situation."
The middle-aged man whom Tang Cheng calls Lao Xie is one of the two officers seconded from the bureau. Because this guy was injured on the front line before being withdrawn, Tang Cheng respects him. Lao Xie did not expect that Tang Cheng would choose to act alone, but before leaving Chongqing, the director also told Lao Xie to follow Tang Cheng's command. After some thought, Lao Xie did not stop Tang Cheng from acting alone, but he told Tang Cheng not to underestimate the enemy.
After noon, Tang Cheng left alone. The military commanders had been informed by Tang Cheng in advance, so they were not surprised. Only Huang Guangyu, who was temporarily transferred together with Lao Xie, looked at him with suspicion. This guy immediately came to Lao Xie and whispered, "Lao Xie, do you think these guys from the military commander don't believe us two? Why is that The man named Tang wants to leave first? And the other military commanders don’t seem to care! Do you think they have other plans that they have been holding back from telling us? "
Huang Guangyu is also a captain, but he is not in the same unit as Lao Xie. If he had not been temporarily transferred into this operation, Lao Xie would not have interacted with Huang Guangyu at all. Lao Xie, who was cautious in his work, just gave Huang Guangyu a sideways glance, but didn't say anything about bribery. Lao Xie didn't say anything, but the look he looked at Huang Guangyu was enough to explain the problem. When Huang Guangyu saw this, he didn't dare to explode in front of Lao Xie, so he could only curse secretly in his heart.
While Huang Guangyu was thinking carefully here, Tang Cheng, who had left early, had already activated his light body skills and quickly advanced towards his destination. The exchange point was a position jointly determined by the Wuhan Special High School and the Military Command, but the bureau could not trust the Japanese, so Tang Cheng participated. When night fell, it took only half a day for Tangcheng to complete the whole day's journey, and now it appeared less than 2 kilometers away from the exchange point. At this time, Tangcheng had slowed down its marching speed, and while marching, he did not forget to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
When he was the last mile away from the exchange point, Tang Cheng had deliberately deviated from the direction. He planned to check around the exchange point first. As he got closer, Tang Cheng could see the deserted village in front of him more clearly. After carefully observing the terrain of the deserted village, Tang Cheng's eyebrows had already furrowed, because this deserted village seemed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there was a big problem with the terrain here. It is true that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but if you are blocked in this deserted village, it will be even more difficult to leave.
The front of the deserted village is a dirt road and a dry river, and the other three sides are abandoned fields. In other words, there is no terrain outside the deserted village that can provide shelter. As long as the Japanese block the front of the deserted village, they can wait for work and block the people in the deserted village here. When Tangcheng was walking back and forth, he had carefully calculated that the nearest hillside to the deserted village was at least 400 meters away. This means that even if you want to break out of the deserted village, this open area of at least 400 meters will be a killing field.
After personally surveying the terrain, Tang Cheng's brows furrowed even more tightly, but after he inspected the dry river, his expression relaxed slightly. Throughout the first half of the night, Tang Cheng was circling the deserted village. Although he found nothing unusual here, Tang Cheng was careful not to enter the deserted village directly. With less than 2 hours left before dawn, Tang Cheng finally discovered that someone seemed to be moving in the deserted village. At this moment, a thought suddenly came to Tang Cheng's mind. If he rescued those intelligence officers from the Shanghai Station in advance, would he be able to end this operation in advance?
Just as this idea came to Tang Cheng's mind, he saw several groups of weeds sprouting up in the field on the left side of the deserted village. Several men in black with guns crawled out of the pits under the weeds. Coming out, Tang Cheng was startled, and then lowered his figure on the grassy slope. There were five figures in total who appeared from the field. Tang Cheng, who had already turned on the triple eyepiece skill, could see them clearly. These guys with rifles quickly got into the deserted village.
At this moment, Tang Cheng just secretly said that he was lucky. Fortunately, when he was circling the deserted village before, he never entered the wilderness near the deserted village, and he didn't make much noise. It's just that my location is too far away from the deserted village, so I can't use system skills to scan the identities of those in the deserted village. Tangcheng, hidden on the grassy slope, waited patiently and silently. Soon an hour passed, and there was only silence in the deserted village and the wild fields outside.
After looking down at his watch, Tang Cheng slowly and quietly left from the other side of the grassy slope. According to his previous agreement with Lao Xie, their meeting place was 20 miles north of the deserted village. However, before Tang Cheng, Lao Xie and the others meet up, Tang Cheng still needs to make some arrangements around the deserted village in advance, so that if a situation arises, he will not be able to respond in time. Relying on the storage function of the empty equipment bag, Tang Cheng quickly dug a tunnel leading to the deserted village from under the ditch in front of the deserted village.
Fortunately, this dry river is only a few meters away from the village. Otherwise, Tang Cheng alone would not be able to complete the excavation of the tunnel before dawn. Tangcheng did not drill through the tunnel, but set the tunnel's exit in a courtyard at the entrance of the village. In an emergency, it only needed to dig 2 meters of soil down from the yard to open the tunnel. Before dawn, the exhausted Tang Cheng finally left quietly, but the people hiding in the deserted village did not realize that Tang Cheng had been here.
When they met with Lao Xie and the others, it was already three hours later. According to the agreement, the hostage exchange time was two days later. Tang Cheng and the others had already arrived at the location 20 miles away from the deserted village in advance. After simply filling his stomach, Tang Cheng took out the short knife from his waist and drew the deserted village and its surrounding terrain on the ground. "The river ditch in front of the village is the most dangerous. If the Japanese try to block it, we can only retreat into the village. There is no terrain around the village that can provide cover. The nearest slope is 400 meters away."
"I hid on the grassy slope last night and observed for a while, and found that there seemed to be people hiding in the fields around the village, and they were all armed. This area has been abandoned, and I haven't heard of bandits here, so I judged , Those people I saw last night were probably arranged here by the Japanese in advance." The situation introduced by Tang Cheng shocked Lao Xie and Huang Guangyu. Both of them had withdrawn from the front line and had experienced frontal battlefields. Therefore, the situation that Tang Cheng had just introduced made them both feel heavy.
The terrain of the deserted village is easy to defend and difficult to attack at first glance, but if there is a huge disparity in strength between the attacking and defending sides, they can only be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth. But on the other hand, they cannot terminate this operation now because the situation they are worried about has not yet happened. After a brief discussion, the three of them failed to reach an agreement. In the end, they could only decide to check the situation on the ground tomorrow before making a decision.
Tang Cheng didn't feel annoyed and did not immediately consult with the military commander. Instead, he first found a place to sleep and rest. Tang Cheng slept until it was time for dinner. He immediately called the leaders of the two military command operations teams and discussed countermeasures with them while eating. Like Lao Xie, the leaders of these two action teams were also specially told by the bureau chief when they left Chongqing that they must obey Tang Cheng's command.
"After tonight, there is only one day left for us, because the morning of tomorrow will be the time to exchange hostages. I am not sure yet whether the person we want is already detained in that deserted village. So I decided to exchange hostages tonight Let’s go to the deserted village and take a look. If possible, I plan to attack the deserted village tonight and rescue our people.” Tang Cheng’s words really shocked the two action team leaders, because this was different from what they expected. The steps are different.
