As night fell, Tang Cheng, who had already gone home to explain everything, rushed to the backyard of the military camp. Ten minutes later, a truck arranged by the military command headquarters also appeared in the military camp. Tangcheng and the others would take this truck to the dock and then leave Chongqing by water. Mr. Cao and others were dressed in casual clothes, but Tang Cheng and the others were dressed in standard national army uniforms, and Tang Cheng's military uniforms also wore his captain's rank badge on the collar. The only difference between them and the national army is that they are all equipped with American equipment. Tang Cheng and another shooter also carried sniper rifles.
At four o'clock in the morning, Tangcheng and the others finally landed at an abandoned small dock after traveling down the river. From here, they would take a carriage and head north into the confrontation area between the national army and the Japanese and puppet troops. For two consecutive days, Tangcheng and the others kept changing carriages, until the morning of the third day, they finally met up with the local garrison and boarded a military truck. The poor condition of the dirt road greatly reduced the speed of Tangcheng and the others. Mr. Cao originally thought that this would delay a lot of time, but he did not expect that Tangcheng and the others could drive.
This was Tangcheng's way of dealing with it. They kept driving all the way and finally arrived at the edge of the area actually controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops before the appointed time. Tangcheng got off the car and called the driver and two veterans arranged by the local garrison, "Here are two cigarettes, a few cans, and thirty yuan! The grove we passed by before, for three days, I just need you to stay there Wait for us in that grove for three days. If we don’t come back in three days, you should leave immediately!"
When Tang Cheng said these words, he was holding those oceans in one hand and three bullets in the other. When a smart person faces this situation, it is not difficult to make the right choice. The driver plus two veterans of the national army, the highest ranking among the three was just a corporal. Not only did Tang Cheng hold the ID of the military commander, but he also had the badge of a captain on his collar. For both public and private reasons, none of these three people dared to disobey Tang Cheng, especially when Tang Cheng took the initiative to offer thirty yuan in benefits.
The three of them nodded and agreed without thinking. Tang Cheng, who received their response, was very satisfied and distributed the ocean to the three of them. "Mr. Cao, from now on, we are going to start marching on foot! During the march, everyone must remain silent without my consent. That is, no sound is allowed during the march. We will soon enter the actual control of the Japanese and puppet troops No one can predict whether Japanese and puppet troops will appear in front of us. Therefore, for everyone’s safety and the success of the mission, I hope you can cooperate with me."
Tang Cheng's request at this moment was actually not too harsh, especially among the arresting team members under Tang Cheng, who had no objections. A quarter of an hour later, after a brief rest, Tang Cheng and others crossed the dry river ahead and officially entered the area actually controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops. In order to rush for time, Tang Cheng did not go along the road, but plunged into the forest that seemed to be deviating from the direction. Mr. Cao, who was confused, wanted to remind Tang Cheng, but when the words came to his lips, he held back.
When Mr. Cao left the bureau's office, the bureau specifically told him that after leaving Chongqing, he must unconditionally obey Tang Cheng's command, because only Tang Cheng had the ability to help him take back his nephew who was detained by the Japanese army. Only two hours into the forest, Mr. Cao and the others were already unable to keep up with their physical strength. Tang Cheng had no choice but to order a stop to rest. Tangcheng and the others just walked and stopped like this, and finally arrived at a mountain col 50 kilometers away from the exchange point before dark.
"Mr. Cao, this 50-kilometer distance is a straight-line distance, and the actual distance to be traveled will be far more than 50 kilometers. But you don't have to worry, we have already grabbed a lot of time, and now there are still three days before the agreed time. From tomorrow on, we just need to keep the speed of 3 kilometers per hour." When camping in the wild at night, Tang Cheng's words made Mr. Cao puzzled. Since he had arrived at the location 50 kilometers away three days in advance, why did he start from Starting tomorrow, we still have to keep traveling at a speed of three kilometers per hour? According to Tang Cheng, wouldn't they be able to arrive at the agreed location by noon the day after tomorrow?
The change in Mr. Cao's expression did not escape Tang Cheng's eyes. Although Tang Cheng did not want to reveal his overall plan, he still explained it to Mr. Cao. "The agreed location is within the area controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops. If we want to ensure that we can leave safely after the exchange is successful, we must arrive at the agreed location in advance and conduct preliminary investigation of the surrounding situation. Even if the other party does not Arrange in advance, we must also plan a retreat route first to avoid falling into their trap."
Seeing that Mr. Cao still had a puzzled look on his face, Tang Cheng chuckled and said, "I never believe the Japanese, especially the guarantees they make! When the Japanese take the initiative to make guarantees, they are often at a disadvantage. Once they gain the upper hand, the guarantees they have made may not be as strong as a piece of toilet paper. In other words, the Japanese's guarantees can be reneged on and modified at any time and at any time."
Mr. Cao had never dealt with the Japanese in Shanghai and had seen their despicableness, but he had never seen the cruel side of the battlefield. Early the next morning, Tang Cheng urged everyone to continue on their way. After climbing several mountains in a row, Tang Cheng finally ordered them to rest where they were. "Our current location is about 20 kilometers away from the exchange point! Fifteen kilometers south from the river 5 kilometers away, there is a Japanese stronghold. The Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold are almost a company. .”
"Before dark, we must rush to the river in front to camp. The remaining day and two nights are the time we can use." When Tang Cheng spoke, he did not avoid Mr. Cao and the others. Mr. Cao, who was squatting next to him, was confused. He didn't know Tang Cheng's overall plan, and he didn't even know that starting tonight, Tang Cheng would take the initiative to cause trouble for the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops. Tang Cheng came out this time with enough ammunition, and he planned to torment the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops.
Four hours later, the three people from Tangcheng had appeared outside a Japanese and puppet army stronghold. Perhaps because of the calm situation these days, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed here had relaxed a lot. The three people in Tangcheng had already observed the Japanese and puppet army strongholds in front of them from different directions, but they found that the Japanese and puppet army strongholds here could not even see the sentries. Based on the principle of caution, Tangcheng originally thought that the Japanese and puppet troops here only set up hidden sentries. But as time went by, he finally discovered that, let alone hidden whistles, there was not even an open whistle here.
Are the Japanese and puppet troops in the Japanese-controlled areas actually so lax? With doubts in his heart, Tang Cheng made a gesture to his left side. Two of Tang Cheng's team members could be vaguely seen more than ten meters away, and then they began to move forward. However, at a distance of more than 300 meters, it took the three people from Tangcheng more than half an hour to move to the edge of the blockade ditch bit by bit. The blockade ditch is four to five meters wide. As long as you cross this five to six meter deep blockade ditch, you can truly enter the Japanese and puppet stronghold in front.
The depth of the blockade ditch is more than five meters. For ordinary people, it is obviously impossible to cross the blockade ditch quietly. However, for Tangcheng, it is not difficult at all. Tang Cheng didn't even use a rope, but relied on the two daggers in his hands to silently descend to the bottom of the blockade ditch. After the two team members with him slowly came down, Tang Cheng used the short knife in his hand to stab into the soil layer by layer, and climbed up to the other side of the blockade ditch little by little like climbing a glacier.
This kind of training of climbing up without the help of external force, using only the bayonet or dagger in the hand, and relying solely on strength, is something that the entire capture team members will experience almost every week. Therefore, it didn’t take long for them to climb up the blockade ditch in Tangcheng. The two team members at the bottom of the ditch also climbed up the blockade ditch respectively. It's not that the Japanese and puppet troops stationed here didn't arrange sentries at night, but the sentries arranged to station at night were all puppet troops. These puppet army sentries were sleeping soundly holding their rifles at the moment.
Tang Cheng, who had climbed over the blockade ditch, did not move rashly. Instead, he crawled in a low posture and moved forward slowly against the ground with the help of his hands and feet. Less than ten meters away from the blockade ditch, there was a row of wooden horses wrapped with barbed wire. If Tangcheng and the others wanted to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, they had to cross this row of wooden horses. Tang Cheng, who was the first to move in front of the horse, slowly straightened up from the ground and spread his hands on his waist and abdomen.
When the two team members following him saw this, one of them took two steps back. After adjusting his breathing slightly, he quickly ran towards Tangcheng. Facing the opponent, Tang Cheng waited for the player to approach him and raise his right foot, then placed his stacked hands directly on the opponent's right foot. With the help of Tang Cheng's hands, the team member jumped directly over the wooden horse. Twice in a row, the two team members following Tang Cheng crossed Juma backwards, while Tang Cheng himself did a forward somersault and easily joined the two of them.
Three o'clock in the morning is the time when people enter deep sleep. For those who stay up late, this is also the time when their consciousness is most relaxed. The three people from Tangcheng were dressed in black, and using the cover of night, they approached the stronghold one by one. The Japanese and puppet stronghold selected by Tangcheng did not build tall gun towers, but low bunkers. The bunkers on the left and right sides can form cross fire. Coupled with the terrain here, it is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack stronghold. Behind the bunker, there are two rows of houses. Looking at the clothes and shoes hanging in the open space in front of the houses, you can tell that the Japanese and puppet troops stationed here do not have very good military discipline.
