Section VII Lightning VIII
White flowers bloom in the black night sky, and in a short time, the entire night sky is filled. /。 \\ Song Yunfei lowered his head and looked at the ground, the ground was lit with five fires, the four fires formed a square, and the largest one was in the middle. Seeing all this, Song Yunfei felt a little relieved.
The first parachute jump operation of the special forces was carried out under such circumstances, and what Song Yunfei was most worried about was how to bring the troops together after arriving on the ground, and whether the personnel and equipment would be damaged, these questions have been lingering in his mind.
According to the plan, the military commander would send a team of 12 men to meet the task force on the ground, and in addition to indicating the landing address, it would also be responsible for leading the way for the contingent.
Song Yunfei looked up left and right, there were white flowers everywhere around, and he couldn't see the faces of people clearly, the wind was blowing on his body, which couldn't help but make him a little worried, if he was blown away from the landing area, what would he do, now he can only resign himself to fate.
With his feet on the solid ground, Song Yunfei exhaled softly, he hurriedly took off his parachute, and then quickly dug a pit in the ground. At this moment, there was the sound of landing not far away, followed by a gentle scolding, Song Yunfei hurriedly filled in the soil, and then quickly ran over. As soon as he approached the man, the man quickly rolled over and hid in the grass next to him, and then asked in a wary whisper, "Password." ”
"Praise the Father and Destroy the Sun"
"Give me back the rivers and mountains." There was obvious relief in his voice, the man came out of the grass, and Song Yunfei ran over, but he knew Xiao Jianbiao, who had made great contributions in the Battle of Northern Burma.
Xiao Jianbiao also recognized Song Yunfei, and asked while burying the parachute: "Head, where should we go?" ”
Song Yunfei looked up at the sky, took out a compass from his pocket, but said in his mouth: "Isn't it claimed that I have been mixing in the mountains and forests for thirty years, why can't I find the target?" ”
As soon as the words were finished, there was a sound of landing not far away, and the two of them ran towards that side again, and one of them was getting up from the ground with a low scolding, rubbing his buttocks while crawling, Xiao Jianbiao laughed when he heard it.
"Monkey, scream a hammer blindly, and you can't stop alarming the devil." Xiao Jianbiao didn't have a password, so he called the other party's name directly; The monkey was startled at first, and then he was relieved when he heard Xiao Jianbiao's voice.
After Song Yunfei and Xiao Jianbiao helped the monkey release the parachute and bury the parachute, Song Yunfei determined their position under the flashlight and found that they were about three miles away from their destination, so the three of them walked towards the assembly place together. Halfway there, they had already met more than thirty people, including seven Americans.
The more Song Yunfei walked, the more he muttered in his heart, the army was in chaos like this, how long would it take to get everyone together, would it delay tomorrow's action?
When he was about to arrive at the assembly place, Song Yunfei met Fan Chunshen, he also brought more than 20 people, this time Song Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, even if he couldn't resist everyone to the ground, as long as 200 people arrived, this battle could be fought, at least the 731 army could be eliminated.
"Password!" A stern voice flew out of the darkness.
"Praise the father and destroy the sun," replied Xiao Jianbiao, who was a pioneer in front.
"Give me back the rivers and mountains." A figure flashed out of the darkness and walked towards Xiao Jianbiao: "Third brother, you have finally arrived." ”
Xiao Jianbiao heard that it was his sworn brother Wu Sihong, who was originally on a plane, but after jumping out of the plane, they were blown away by a gust of wind, and Wu Sihong fell nearby, and he was the first to reach his destination to meet the contact.
"How many people have arrived? Captain Shi, have they arrived? Song Yunfei asked.
Only then did Wu Sihong find out that Song Yunfei was also here, and hurriedly replied: "It's here, and the captain of Lian has also arrived." ”
"Have the Americans arrived?" Song Yunfei asked as he walked inside.
"Major Smith has arrived, but Colonel Merrill has not arrived." Wu Sihong replied again.
After Song Yunfei arrived at the assembly area, he found that there were already more than 300 people, Shi Shaoxian and Smith had already established a command center, and there was also Yan Kexuan, the captain of the Shenyang Station of the Military Command Bureau, who had been waiting here since last night with four guides.
The temporary headquarters is located in a hollow of a hill surrounded by dense grass. The forests in the northeast are dense and the winter is long, and the snow on the ground is still there, but the grass and trees have begun to grow wildly. Shi Shaoxian Lian Sen and Smith were looking at the map in the faint light, when they heard footsteps, turned their heads and saw Song Yunfei and Fan Chunshen coming in, and hurriedly greeted them.
"How many brothers have arrived?" Song Yunfei stepped into the headquarters and asked first without waiting for Shi Shaoxian to speak.
"There are more than a hundred, and the other commandos have reached more than a hundred." Shi Shaoxian replied.
"What about the radio?" Song Yunfei asked again.
"There is one, and there are three that have not been found."
Hearing that there was only one radio station, Song Yunfei was even more worried, just turned on the light, he looked at his watch, the time was already 2:16 in the morning, according to the plan, they must rush to Lagu, 80 kilometers away, at noon tomorrow, occupy this station, the train carrying the 731 army will arrive at Lagu station at five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Tell the brothers, pay attention to concealment, Xiao Jianbiao, Shi Yuan." Song Yunfei called the two of them over and asked them to each lead a detachment to set up a blocking position on a hill half a mile away, and pay attention to blocking the road into the mountain.
After Lian Sen and Xiao Jianbiao took people away, Song Yunfei called Yan Kexuan over: "I am Major General Song Yunfei, the supreme commander of this operation. ”
Yan Kexuan saluted Song Yunfei snappedly: "Say, Yan Kexuan, the captain of the Shenyang Station of the Military Command Bureau, was ordered to speak. ”
Song Yunfei returned a military salute and led him to the map: "Come and see, which way do we go to Lagu?" ”
Yan Kexuan looked at the contour line above and was a little stupid, he had no formal training, he was recruited to the military commander during his school years, and received simple military training in the mountains, this kind of training only taught him how to shoot guns, and he couldn't read military maps at all.
The structure of the Military Command Bureau in the northeast only began after the Lugou Bridge Incident, and this structure was from point to area, with only two or three people assigned to each area, and these few people were responsible for recruiting personnel locally, gradually growing intelligence, and after seven years of operation, it was only now on the scale.
However, Yan Kexuan was also prepared, he turned around and called someone he brought in: "Lord, this is Jiang Jiuxun, he is familiar with this path within a radius of a hundred miles, and he can walk over with his eyes closed." ”
"Oh," Song Yunfei seemed to be unexpected, the guide is not familiar with the road, what kind of guide should he be? Jiang Jiuxun stepped forward, this is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a dogskin hat on his head and a leather robe on his body, Fan Chunshen is very familiar with this costume, this is the clothing of a businessman who enters the mountains to collect leather goods.
Jiang Jiuxun knew what Song Yunfei was going to ask, and immediately said: "From here to Lagu, take one hundred and three miles on the mountain road, eighty-two miles on the road, and twenty miles away on the mountain road, it is safe but not easy to walk, the road is full of forests, there are only a few police inspection posts, the road is easy to walk, but it is not safe, there are six checkpoints on the road, and there is also a national soldier training camp, about more than 700 national soldiers. ”
When Song Yunfei heard this, he immediately revoked the plan to take the mountain road, and after listening to Lian Sen's translation, Smith immediately grabbed the map with dissatisfaction: "How can there be more than 100 miles, not 80 miles, what kind of tool is this, a piece of waste paper!" The officers who drew this map should be shot! Shot! ”
Song Yunfei and Fan Chunshen had long expected that the map might be banned, and this kind of thing had happened more than once, even the map of the Songhu area was banned, not to mention the map of the Northeast that had been in the fall for more than ten years? Lian Sen pulled Smith aside to explain and soothe, and before he could say a word, there were footsteps outside, and Merrill walked in through the darkness. Merrill was now draped, with a few grenades on his chest and dead grass on his steel helmet.
"Song, is there any loss of equipment?" Merrill was very worried about the equipment, he was blown five miles away, almost landed on the road, and on the way back, he contained more than eighty soldiers, both Chinese and American, which made him very worried about the equipment that had landed in pieces.
The special forces carried bazookas and 60 mortars, as well as some Japanese uniforms, all of which were packed in boxes and launched the planes first during the parachute jump.
Before Song Yunfei could check these tools, Shi Shaoxian replied first: "Six mortars and eight bazookas have been found. ”
"OK, we found three bazookas, two mortars." Merrill: "Did you find the uniform?" ”
Song Yunfei and Shi Shaoxian didn't answer, Song Yunfei thought for a while: "Wait a little longer, maybe someone will come over." General Merrill, let's discuss the route of the march. ”
Time passed slowly, Song Yunfei and Merrill were very worried, such a large-scale airborne operation today may alarm the surrounding Japanese army, if the morning dawns, the devil or the national soldiers go into the mountains to search, as long as they find a parachute, it may arouse the vigilance of the Japanese army.
One after another, a lot of people returned, but luckily they brought back the uniforms, eight bazookas, six mortars, and most importantly, the radios, and the remaining three.
Merrill counted the number of people frequently, and the commando team dispatched five hundred and sixty-two, and by the time the assembly time came, only five hundred and thirty-eight had arrived, and twenty-four had not arrived. Song Yunfei was even more worried, the Chinese are okay, hiding in the mountains, or hiding in the old people, how can they hide for a few days, this American is white-skinned and yellow-haired, how can not hide, as long as one of them falls into the hands of the devil, the whole operation may be violent.
"Wait one more time." Song Yunfei looked at the sky, the morning star was already shining, Shi Shaoxian suggested sending someone to find it, but Merrill resolutely vetoed it.
"They are all paratroopers and know how to go, and American paratroopers have a saying that paratroopers fight in a flanking circle, and they know where to meet."
Merrill has confidence in his team, all of whom are veterans of several years of combat experience, some of them even mercenaries, and have undergone rigorous training, so they can find this place on their own.
Song Yunfei regretted a little in his heart, he shouldn't have agreed to parachute in, he should have come in from the northern grassland, there were fifteen days, which should have been in time for him.
Time passed slowly, Merrill's confidence proved to be justified, and twenty-four commandos arrived one after another, while three of the special forces did not arrive.
"Don't wait, untie the cable immediately."
Look at the time has come, Song Yunfei did not wait any longer, there are still more than 100 miles of mountain roads to catch today, and he must rush to Lagu at noon tomorrow, and the time to occupy Lagu is neither early nor late, and Lagu must be occupied when the train arrives the previous one
