Chapter 44: Li Xiang is in distress
When Zhou Lin and the others arrived at the Mingsu Highway, they found that it was a mess.
Zhou Lin immediately asked people to touch the situation, what happened?
As soon as the person who touched the situation came back and said it, Kobayashi was so angry that he wanted to slash the section chief of the three sections with one sword.
The section chief of the three sections was the person brought by the current director of the Economic Investigation Division, who was originally idle in the department and had no real position.
However, Zhou Lin's secret service was established and the bald head of the third section was transferred, which gave him the opportunity to finally become the head of the third section.
He was originally a greedy man, and he had been vacant for so long, so he had to make up for his losses, and of course the tribute owed to the director.
Yesterday, a related household who paid him tribute several times revealed the news to him: on May 16, a batch of anti-inflammatory drugs was about to be shipped, and now the goods are in a village one mile away from Sanke. It is planned that the people in the village will be smuggled out of the customs in the form of ants moving, and then packed and transported outside the customs center.
This method of dispersing shipments has long been heard by the chief of the three sections, not only does he know it, but even the previous section chiefs know it.
It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake on the ground, and it relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to draft the water, so relying on the checkpoint is eating the checkpoint. The behavior of these people is not strange.
Some snakeheads specially organized people in the village to help bring goods out of customs, and they were all relatively valuable and easy to carry goods.
When these villagers left the customs, the people at the checkpoint knew that they had goods on them, but considering that they were stationed on the territory of other people's villages, they turned a blind eye and let them pass.
What's more, afterwards, the snakeheads in the village will also pay tribute to the checkpoint.
But this newly appointed section chief of the third section is crazy and crazy to think about money.
As soon as he heard that there were anti-inflammatory drugs worth 10,000 oceans in the village, he was red-eyed, and if this batch of goods was seized in the name of anti-smuggling, he could share it with the director.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are very easy to sell, don't worry about going home, as soon as it changes hands, he will at least enter thousands of oceans, thinking of this, he doesn't want to report to the director, so he directly transferred seventy or eighty people, surrounded the village, and wanted to forcibly search.
The people in the village are all people who have been in this way for a long time, and under the command and organization of the snakehead, they confronted the armed men of the three branches inside and outside the village.
One is in a hurry to enter the village, and the other is blocking it. As a result, it is unknown whose gun went off.
The crisp sound of gunfire was an order, and without waiting for the commander to give an order, the crowd began to fire automatically, and even the machine gun cannon was used.
And when the fight was in full swing here, there was another accident at the checkpoint of the three sections.
More than a dozen people armed with guns to escort a large truck suddenly rushed through the gates.
Unsuspecting the people at the checkpoint, they shot and wounded six armed men at the checkpoint, snatched their guns and ammunition, and then climbed into the van and left.
In normal times, there would be a reserve of dozens of people at the checkpoint, and they could rush to support and stop the enemy in a matter of minutes.
But now, all the armed men have been transferred to the village, surrounded the village and attacked it, and there are only six sleeping armed men on night duty at the checkpoint.
When they came to check the mouth with sleepy eyes, they found that they were already wounded soldiers, and there were screams of pain everywhere.
They didn't dare to chase it, it was like sending them to death.
So they shot into the distance and called the police.
At this time, Xiao Lin and Zhou Lin rushed over with people.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Xiao Lin's heart sighed: Something bad happened! Ye Jun ran away!
Because Zhou Lin used to manage three subjects, everyone is familiar with it. Soon, Zhou Lin understood the situation, and more than a dozen people rushed through the pass with arms, covering a truck to rush out of the pass.
"Chase! Catch up with them no matter what! Destroy them! Kobayashi shouted frantically.
Zhou Jielun immediately drove to the gate with the people from the Special 1st Section and the 2nd Special Section and the Intelligence Section.
Ten minutes later, on a small road, the van was spotted.
Blood gauze was found on the truck, which only the wounded would have.
Zhou Lin ordered everyone to get out of the car and search around in a fan shape.
And after Kobayashi reported to Yamada, he also rushed over with the Japanese military police.
As soon as he saw the gauze, Kobayashi was so angry that he kicked the big truck a few times.
"Report the situation here to the general. And asked to block the surrounding Fang Yuan for fifty kilometers, and found that the number of people exceeded seven or more, and those who were wounded, immediately suppressed! Kobayashi said angrily to the Japanese army's accompanying operator.
At the same time, Xiao Lin's heart is a little realized, in this place, but the strict control area of the imperial army, I believe that those people will not be able to escape from the palm of the imperial army.
After an hour of searching, no information was found, and at this time, Yamada also rushed over with a large group of Japanese troops and a regiment of security troops.
And the chief of the third section who took all the men and horses to attack the village was also arrested.
When the chief of the third section told the truth of the matter, Xiao Lin rushed up and punched and kicked him: "If you hadn't transferred all the troops at the checkpoint, how could those more than ten people succeed in breaking through." You are colluding with the Communist Party and secretly letting important people commit crimes. ”
"Nope! I've always been a supporter of the Imperial Army! How can I be communicative? The chief of the third section hurriedly argued, and when he saw that the chief was there, he hurriedly said: "Director, help me!" I just want to seize the illicit drugs in the village! ”
The director of the investigation department looked at Yamada in fear and did not speak.
The head of the third section was cold, and he threw himself in front of Zhou Lin: "Director Zhou, please talk to Taijun and spare me!" The three branches used to be your subordinate units, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, save me once! ”
Zhou Lin sighed and asked, "Do you know the details of the person who reported to you that there were anti-inflammatory drugs in the village?" ”
The head of the third section hurriedly replied: "It is a boss who often takes goods from the third section said, I have his address, you can call him to come and ask." ”
Xiao Lin sneered: "Will he still sit still and wait for the catch?" How could a brain like you become the head of the third section? Gave away a lot of money, right? ”
The director of the economic investigation department next to him was so frightened that his face turned white, and he really regretted using this stupid person.
Zhou Lin explained: "This is a trap, and the trap is very clever. They take advantage of your greed for money and throw out heavy bait, saying that there are plenty of anti-inflammatory drugs in the village to lure you in. They also know the savagery of the villagers, so as long as you go, you will be trapped. ”
Xiao Lin continued: "There are hundreds of people in the village, and if you bring a dozen people in, you will definitely find nothing." So they know you're going to attack the village with all your men. And the people in the village will fight back in order to survive. This is a stalemate. ”
Zhou Lin lit a cigarette: "That's what they want, because you are trapped, and you can't smoke for an hour or two." They took advantage of this time to storm the pass by force. ”
Xiao Lin also asked Zhou Lin for a cigarette: "How can your soldiers who can only scare people be the opponents of those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time?" So they rushed out of the pass as they wished. And fearing that the target would be conspicuous, they simply abandoned the car and fled. ”
Yamada also took over at this time: "Judging from their footsteps, there are two people carrying stretchers. So it's absolutely certain that Ye Jun and his entourage. Because of your greed and mistakes, you let the high-ranking cadres of the Communist Party escape, what crime are you willing to bear? ”
The chief of the third section was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously. I can't say anything.
Zhou Lin looked at Yamada: "Chief, I want to intercede for him, seeing that he once sold his life for the imperial army, this time he just wants to arrest smuggling, please spare his life." ”
Yamada looked at the chief of the third section who kowtowed on the ground: "Remove from his post, confiscate all his property, and let him clean the toilet in the third section." ”
After another two hours, the teams reported that there were no groups of people in Fang Yuan's fifty miles, let alone a team carrying stretchers.
Yamada, who was guarding the checkpoint, felt very strange, could it be that those people had escaped?
In fact, these people did not escape, they just returned to the pass empty-handed and single.
This is a plan that Zhou Lin has come up with: to attack the east and the west.
The events on the dock gave the Japanese puppet feeling that with such fanfare of the imperial army arresting people and strictly controlling the dock, Ye Jun and his party would definitely not choose the dock to leave.
But Ye Jun and his party were waiting at the dock, waiting for a chance to get out.
This is the opportunity: our underground party staff reported to the head of the third section, aroused his greed, and took away the soldiers at the checkpoint.
and then used the armed personnel of the underground party organization to rush through the pass, so that the Japanese puppets knew that Ye Jun was going to escape from the Sanke Pass.
When the attention of the Japanese puppet was all focused on the three branches, the underground party members on the dock connected with Ye Jun and escorted them away from Mingzhu.
The whole plan, interlocking, step by step, moves the enemy's eyes off the dock.
Even Ye Jun, who was walking on the road, praised the person who designed this plan, who was a great military genius, and really wanted to meet him.
Since Ye Jun has left, the Japanese puppet search must have come to naught. Ten days later, when the Japanese puppet undercover agent of the New Fourth Army sent back the news that Ye Jun had returned from his injuries, Yamada was still sure that Ye Jun and his party had escaped from the Sanke Pass.
May 16, 10 a.m., Matou Mountain in Huaibei, Anhui Province.
Li Xiang was preparing to climb the mountain with a team of escorted New Fourth Army soldiers.
After passing Matou Mountain, you can enter the territory of Henan, and there will be troops of the Eighth Route Army to respond.
And Li wanted to know that a unit of the Eighth Route Army was waiting for him on the side of Matou Mountain.
"Chief! There are enemies! The commander of the escort's spy company ran over.
Li Xiang was surprised: "Is it the Japanese army or the puppet army?" How many people are there? ”
"One squadron of the Japanese army, one battalion of the puppet army. Looks like it's coming straight for us. The commander of the spy company judged.
Li Xiang agreed: "You are very right! In this barren mountain range, and there are no military targets, the largest number of Japanese puppet soldiers have dug a big pit waiting for us to jump, which shows that they know our march route and know our strength in advance. ”
"Out of the traitor?" The company commander was in a hurry, he was responsible for escorting Li Xiang across Matou Mountain, and he didn't expect that something was wrong here.
"It's either a traitor, it's a spy! We changed our route a few times along the way, so we inadvertently evaded their pursuit. But we can't get around this Matou Mountain, we have to go. That's why they're waiting for us here. ”
"So what are we supposed to do?" The commander of the spy company asked.
"Order everyone, quickly retreat to that mountain beam. Set up a blocking line on the mountain beam to block the enemy. Li Xiang ordered.
"The chief is right, we have only this way out! However, if we go to that mountain beam, then we will also be surrounded by enemies. ”
Li Xiang looked at the side of Matou Mountain, and silently said in his heart: "Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, we are waiting for you. ”
The commander of the spy company received an order to completely obey Li Xiang's command. So he quickly gave orders to the soldiers.
As a result, a group of soldiers of the New Fourth Army, who were slowly moving forward and were about to enter the ambush circle, suddenly exerted all their strength, turned around and ran backwards.
The Japanese captain, who was holding a telescope at the top of the ambush site, froze for a moment.
How did you walk so well that you suddenly ran backwards? Is there anything delicious in the back?
A few minutes later, when the Japanese captain came to his senses, the soldiers of the special service company had already run to the ridge of the hill and immediately set up a temporary trench and formed a blocking line.
The Japanese captain was so angry that he scolded several times, and the cooked duck in his mouth turned into a live duck, so he ordered the Japanese puppet army to surround the mountain beam.
"Woohoo!" Three gunshots rang out on the mountain beam.
At this time, on the other side of the mountain, a regiment of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army was climbing the mountain.
When they were only ten meters from the summit of Matou Mountain, they heard three gunshots.
"Captain! The person we picked up is in danger, and this is the alarm signal that we have made an appointment. The commissar hurried over.
The regimental commander quickly climbed to the top of the hill and observed with a telescope a squadron of Japanese troops and a battalion of puppet troops encircling a mountain beam.
"Comrades, quick!" The regiment commander waved his hand, and immediately several cadres surrounded him.
"Now Comrade Li and his escort company have all been surrounded by the enemy on the mountain beam. It is estimated that the enemy will not be able to attack for a moment and a half. Then let's sum it up, how to eat this group of enemies," the regiment commander's telescope was watched by several cadres in turn.
"Commander, give the order!" The cadres said in unison.
"I command! The first battalion climbed down the hill from the top of the hill, first concealed halfway up the mountain, and then charged down the hill at the sound of my gunfire. The regiment commander pointed to the halfway up the mountain and said.
"Yes! A battalion takes orders! "The commander of the first battalion is on the right path.
"The second battalion immediately descended the mountain from the left and quickly inserted into the two sides of the valley where the enemy came, and when the enemy on this side was defeated by us and wanted to retreat, you blocked their retreat and waited for us to join the encirclement." The regimental commander ordered.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" The commander of the second battalion replied.
"The third battalion and I will go down the mountain from the right and kill those puppet troops first." The regiment commander took out his watch: "It is necessary to reach various combat positions within thirty minutes." Let's do it! ”
"Yes!" All the cadres were separated, each to his own team, and the commissar was with the same battalion.
At this time, the battle on the mountain beam began. A company of the puppet army launched a charge towards the mountain beam, in a vain attempt to rush up the mountain beam.
However, the spy company of the New Fourth Army, this time accompanied Li to the mission, and the treatment was excellent. 100 bullets per person and 5 grenades per person, which was their best advantage ever.
The soldiers crawled in the makeshift trenches, their guns pointed at the puppet army who was climbing upwards.
When the puppet army rushed to a place a hundred meters away from the soldiers of the New Fourth Army, Li Xiang signaled to the company commander that he could shoot.
"Aim for me, hit!" The commander of the spy company fired a waiting shot.
Immediately, the fighters opened fire one after another, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a company of puppet troops fled back with only ten people. Among them, the company commanders of the puppet army all hung flowers.
"Fire! Blow them up! The Japanese captain was furious.
And the fighters on the hill did not have a bunker and directly faced the bombardment of the Japanese army.
Fortunately, due to the angle of the shell, the shell either flew over the mountain beam, or exploded in front of the mountain beam, and only a few shells landed directly on the mountain beam.
However, these shells killed and wounded 10 soldiers of the New Fourth Army.
After a burst of artillery bombardment, the Japanese puppet army began to charge again.
