After dinner, Tang Cheng saw that there was still time before the sky became completely dark, so he called Lao Xie and Huang Guangyu and informed them of his plan. "If this is a trap, we can't jump into it stupidly! But before leaving Chongqing, I was already prepared to face the trap." Seeing that Huang Guangyu seemed to have different opinions, Tangcheng did not give any advice at all. The opportunity for the other party to speak is just to express his plan in one breath.
"The deserted village is surrounded by hundreds of meters of open land. If we conduct investigations during the day, it will inevitably increase the possibility of exposure! Since the formation of our action team, in order to deal with emergencies, we have been conducting night combat training. And their night combat training outline , are all formulated by me personally, so I can say bluntly that among us, my night fighting ability is definitely the best. This place is only 20 miles away from the deserted village. If everything is normal, I may be back in the middle of the night. "
"If the deserted village is a trap, then it is even more necessary for me to make some arrangements in the deserted village in advance. The exchange of hostages is an order from above. You are all soldiers and know the consequences of disobeying orders. So, no matter what, I have to deal with it in advance Conduct on-site investigation in the deserted village. There is another situation. If I find that the people we want to exchange are in the deserted village at the moment, I may take action in advance and directly bring our people back." What Tang Cheng said in front of Lao Xie also said Just listening, but what he said next made Lao Xie jump up immediately.
Tang Cheng saw that Lao Xie was trying to stop him, so he immediately explained, "Lao Xie, don't worry, just listen to me! The main mission of our trip is to exchange with the Japanese. , but in fact, as long as we bring back our own people who were captured by them, the purpose of our mission will be achieved. Don’t say you didn’t see the weapons and equipment we carried when we set off. You are from the military, Can't you see that the firepower output of these weapons and equipment is comparable to that of a national army company?"
"Let me tell you the truth! I have no intention of taking the bullets and artillery shells we brought back to Chongqing. Even if you two don't want to participate, the Japanese who come to exchange personnel with us must also I want to die here. If ten of them come, I will kill ten of them. If a small group comes, then I will kill all the Japanese in that small group." After hearing what Tang Cheng said, the two operational leaders of the military command said, They felt their hairs standing on end, and their expressions also changed.
Lao Xie and Huang Guangyu were not members of the military command, and they were both military personnel who had just been transferred back to Chongqing, so they were still unfamiliar with Tangcheng. However, when they discovered that the expressions of the two people sitting opposite them had changed, Lao Xie and Huang Guangyu realized the crux of the problem. According to Tang Cheng's age, Lao Xie and Huang Guangyu just thought that Tang Cheng was just talking big words. But now they were wondering if they had gone astray. Judging from the reactions of the two military commanders, Tang Cheng was probably not bragging just now.
Whether Tang Cheng was bragging or not, he had no obligation to prove it to Lao Xie and Huang Guangyu. After finally explaining to a few people, Tang Cheng, who had already rested, left alone again. After a journey of 20 miles, Tangcheng arrived at the grassy slope that they had taken last night before it got dark. Squatting in the pit dug out last night, Tang Cheng activated the triple eyepiece skill and began to observe the situation in the deserted villages and fields from a distance. From the current location of Tangcheng, one could faintly see people moving in the deserted village, but the wilderness was completely silent.
Under Tang Cheng's constant observation and patient waiting, night finally fell, and Tang Cheng, who was hiding on the grassy slope, finally found someone coming out of the deserted village. Not many people came out of the deserted village. Tang Cheng counted the number of people carefully and found that there were only nine people in total. After these people walked out of the deserted village, they first gathered together on the north side of the deserted village, and then dispersed after a while. After paying attention to these men in black in Tangcheng, and making sure that the nine people were scattered and hiding in the wilderness on three sides outside the deserted village, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tangcheng has now been able to confirm that the men in black who just came out of the deserted village and hid in the wilderness should be the killing moves specially arranged here by the Japanese. They hid in the wilderness outside the village for two consecutive nights. They must have been prepared to prevent themselves from arriving at the deserted village early. The time for personnel exchange is the morning after tomorrow. The Japanese have made arrangements in advance. It is very likely that they have the same idea as themselves. The other party has no intention of actually exchanging hostages.
Tang Cheng, who had been thinking wildly for a while, saw that it was still early, so he simply leaned sideways in the pit, closed his eyes and rested. Tang Cheng slept until 2:30 in the morning, then woke up faintly. Seeing that the time was just right, Tang Cheng took the time to eat something. Under the cover of night, Tang Cheng rushed down from the grassy slope, moving quickly in the wild like a civet cat. The situation in the deserted village was just as Tang Cheng had expected. Apart from the nine men in black hiding in the wilderness, there were at least ten Japanese spies hiding in the village.
Tang Cheng sneaked into the village quietly and carefully checked almost all the houses and cellars in the deserted village, but he could not find the arrested members of the Shanghai Station. After searching to no avail, Tang Cheng left the village immediately instead of staying here to waste time. After confirming that the person he was looking for was not here, Tang Cheng gave up the idea of staying here and walked in a big circle around the deserted village. When Tang Cheng stopped, he had already appeared under the road in front of the deserted village.
There are only a dozen Japanese and puppet spies who have ambushed here in advance in the deserted village, but Tang Cheng knows that in order to prevent the operation from failing, the Japanese will definitely send the personnel who need to be exchanged here before the morning of the day after tomorrow. The deserted village was still about a day's journey from the nearest Japanese-controlled area. What Tangcheng had to do now was to confirm whether the people to be exchanged were placed around the deserted village by the Japanese or stayed in the Japanese-controlled area.
Detouring to Tangcheng in front of the deserted village, I first observed the traces on the road for a while, and then started to follow the traces on the road all the way north. After walking along the highway for about 20 miles, Tang Cheng suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a fleeting spark in the field on the left side of the highway. Tang Cheng, who was suspicious in his heart, immediately lowered his body, walked down the road into the field, and quietly moved towards the location where the spark had just flashed. There was no one around in the wilderness. In this environment, the slightest sound would travel far, so Tangcheng moved very carefully.
Tang Cheng carefully pushed forward for more than 30 meters when he heard a faint noise and immediately smelled a smell of smoke in his nose. Suddenly realizing it, he immediately thought that the spark just now was probably caused by someone smoking in the wild. The further he walked, the more obvious the smell of smoke became. Tang Cheng simply lowered his figure again and slowly moved forward using his hands and feet. There was indeed someone smoking a dozen meters in front of Tang Cheng, but the other person was squatting in a pit, and Tang Cheng couldn't see him at all.
Tang Cheng's heart moved, and he immediately turned on the system scanning skill, and found that there were only two people hiding directly in front of him in this open field, and their identities showed that they were both Japanese. Tang Cheng, who originally wanted to make a sneak attack, immediately changed his decision and slowly retreated to the other side of the road along the way he came. If we attack these two Japanese hiding in the wild now, Tang Cheng is 100% sure. But even if we control them, it is impossible for Tang Cheng to find out the whereabouts of the Shanghai station team members from their mouths. One man goes to rescue them.
Rather than stirring up trouble and affecting future exchanges, Tang Cheng felt that it was better to let these two guys go first and find out the surrounding terrain, which was the most important thing. Tang Cheng, who secretly memorized this location, walked around this area twice before dawn until he clearly remembered the terrain here. Moreover, Tangcheng was still ten miles away from the deserted village. He used his own equipment bag to dig out two pits connected by tunnels in a relatively hidden location.
"The situation is not good!" Tang Cheng's first words after meeting Lao Xie and the others made Lao Xie and Huang Guangyu's moods instantly sink to the bottom. "I went into the deserted village last night to check it out. The Japanese arranged for more than a dozen people to ambush inside! Not only did they use the abandoned houses to set up traps and fire points inside the deserted village, but they also set up traps and fire points in the wilderness outside the deserted village. They have fixed sentry posts and firepower points. Not only are they equipped with light machine guns and grenade launchers, but when I look at their riflemen, they don’t look like ordinary gunners.”
The situation reported by Tangcheng made Lao Xie frown. A dozen people were only the strength of an infantry squad in the army. But the weapons and equipment Tang Cheng mentioned just now are definitely not those of an ordinary infantry squad. In many units of the national army, only one platoon can be equipped with a light machine gun. Lao Xie's bad mood did not last long, because Tang Cheng also said another piece of good news, "Fortunately, I found a tunnel leading directly to the village in the abandoned river at the entrance of the village, with a length of nearly forty meters. , the height and width can exceed a person."
When Tang Cheng talked about tunnels, he did not forget to use his dagger to draw a simple topographic map of the deserted village on the ground in front of him with the tip of the dagger. "This is the location of a deserted village, with abandoned fields on three sides. The river is in front of the deserted village, between the road and the village. This is an authentic location, only about thirty meters away from the houses at the entrance of the village."
"Although there is no support in the tunnel, I look at the condition of the tunnel and there should be no problems in a short time. If the exchange the day after tomorrow does not go smoothly, we will retreat directly into the village and find a way to divert the opponent's attention. In the wilderness in other directions of the village, then we enter the river from the tunnel and leave."
