Chapter 55: The Resting Place (Part II)

Guan Xingjie is the head of the intelligence section of the Shanghai Security Forces, but everyone who brought Guan Xingjie brought him would respectfully call him when they saw him...... Instructor!

This group of subordinates are all proud disciples trained by Guan Xingjie when he was in the Military Command Bureau! Among them, there are many patriots with enthusiasm for saving the country and the people, these people threw themselves into the intelligence battlefield, and fought a fierce confrontation with the intelligence agency for several years, and could have been called national heroes, but in the end, because they believed in Wang Jingwei's theory that "resistance will destroy the country, it is better to save the country with a curve", followed Guan Xingjie to serve Wang Jingwei's political axe, and stood on the opposite side of the Yucheng Military Command Bureau.

This is a group of senior agents who first confronted the intelligence department of Yuben, and then turned their guns to confront the Yucheng Military Command Bureau, and slowly grew up in the non-stop and brutal battle.

On the frontal battlefield, in terms of the actual combat ability of these senior agents, of course, they are not as good as the professional soldiers created by the special service battalion of the Central Military Academy Teaching Brigade with money and time. They don't even have uniform uniforms and weapons, and they don't have the toughness and fortitude of professional soldiers, but each of them is an expert at infiltrating, poisoning, intelligence gathering, and assassination!

Professional soldiers use guns, grenades, and bayonets on the battlefield, and in the eyes of these people, ropes, stones, a sharpened twig, and even an apple that looks big and red are their weapons of killing.

Listening to the sound of explosions on the west side of the small mountain village, Guan Xingjie's face, which was full of the marks of time, slowly raised a faint smile. The reason why he has been following Lei Zhen for so long, and he has not been able to successfully catch up with this group of damn enemies is because by Lei Zhen's side, there is a demolition expert who can be called a master. Guan Xingjie is absolutely convinced that as long as this demolitionist is given enough time and materials, he will be able to turn any seemingly harmless area into a killing realm of death!

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a demolition expert is the most dangerous and powerful killer weapon in Lei Zhen's hands, and in order to snipe Zhang Huzi's horse team, in order to make up for the excessive combat effectiveness of the two sides, Lei Zhen has already used this weapon. Therefore, this jungle in front of you, even if it is defended, there are not enough mines, and there are no unstoppable directional blasting devices...... Don't be afraid!

But Guan Xingjie still said in a deep voice to several subordinates around him who were proficient in infiltration and intelligence gathering: "Step by step, be careful of mines!" ”

Under Guan Xingjie's gaze, three senior intelligence officers wearing black tunics and wrapping their feet in linen slowly sneaked into the jungle in front of them, which was too unfamiliar to them.

Because of the thick sackcloth wrapped around their feet, these people did not even leave footprints in the jungle with soft silt everywhere. In order to prevent stepping on a mine or trap, there is only an infiltration team of three people, each of whom is more than ten meters apart, in which case even if someone steps on a mine, the second team member cannot be affected in this jungle full of trees.

The person who walked in the front held a freshly cut piece of bamboo in his hand, and while he slowly crawled forward, he stabbed the sharpened piece of bamboo in his hand at an oblique angle of 45 degrees. Although there are now professional demining and mine installation, these experts who are truly proficient in laying mines and dismantling mines understand that the most effective tools for mine detection when crossing minefields are human hands and a homemade mine detection rod made of non-conductive insulators such as wood or bamboo chips.

Don't use a bayonet to replace the thunderbolt, Zhao Dawenshen and Lei Zhen have teamed up, and they have clearly told these people with a bloody lesson that as long as there is a dry battery and a row of electromagnetic circles, they can create a thunder that will detonate immediately once a metal object comes into contact.

As long as the bamboo piece in his hand encounters a suspicious and hard object when piercing the ground, the spearhead walking in the front of this team will sprinkle a circle of fluorescent powder next to this area, and after making sure that there are no mine tripping lines around, he will go around this dangerous area and continue to move forward.

When encountering mines, they will never dismantle them, hide their bodies in the darkest corners, and never carry any items that will reflect light or make sound on their bodies, these three infiltration members, every ten minutes, change the spearheads, and after half an hour, they use their own hands and bamboo chips to successfully intersperse this piece of jungle, opening a safe passage for the troops behind.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, he looked at the jungle in front of him, which was immersed in darkness and had opened a safe passage, but his eyebrows kept beating.

How many times have I experienced life and death, and the intuition that I have slowly cultivated is shouting loudly at Guan Xingjie...... It's definitely not that simple! This jungle is the most precious natural barrier on the east side of the small mountain village, and those villagers who have lived in this small mountain village for generations clearly know every grass and tree in this jungle, and remember every ravine, every undulating hillside, and even every huge and silent rock covered with moss.

If he was a thunderstorm, he would definitely not give up such a favorable terrain!

If he had a choice, Guan Xingjie really wouldn't have ordered his subordinates to enter this seemingly riskless jungle, and when he lived to this age, he clearly understood that the danger he didn't see was the most terrifying.

But...... Does he really have a choice?

Half an hour passed, and there were already fierce gunshots at the entrance of the village, mixed with the unique dull roar of the earthen cannons, and the horse team was wiped out on the west side of the small mountain village, and his two brothers were all dead, and Boss Zhang, who had no dead bodies, had already led his men to launch a frontal assault on the small mountain village.

The intelligence forces led by Fujiwara Kaede have probably begun to attack the small mountain village from the north. At this time, in order to cooperate with the overall situation, he had to follow Fujiwara Kaede's order and give the order to launch a strong attack on the east side of the small mountain village. Although he Guan Xingjie is subordinate to the Shanghai security forces, it seems that he has no subordinate relationship with Fujiwara Kaede, and in terms of official rank, he is even higher than Fujiwara Kaede, but even Chairman Wang Jingwei has to be respectful in the face of himself, and accepts Chairman Wang Jingwei's theory of "resisting will destroy the country, and we only have curves to save the country".

Looking back again, he glanced at the subordinates around him, and it was because they believed in their own vision and believed that he, an instructor, could lead everyone to break out of the blue sky in such a chaotic world, so they did not hesitate to bear the infamy of treason, joined Wang Jingwei's camp, and killed each other with their former colleagues. Guan Xingjie gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted: "Zhang Chuang! ”

A man who looked to be about thirty years old with a strong aura all over his body quickly ran to Guan Xingjie, he didn't speak, just stood there quietly, he was waiting for orders.

"You lead the first team, along the path that the infiltration team has carved out, through the jungle."

Guan Xingjie thought for a moment and continued: "Remember, after passing through the jungle, do not attack the target, and immediately find a suitable position to set up a machine gun fire support point to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. When this is done, two short and one long guns are fired into the sky, and when I hear the gunshots, I will lead everyone through the jungle. ”

Zhang Chuang nodded vigorously and led more than a dozen of his subordinates into the jungle, looking at his not tall, but generous back, Guan Xingjie finally found a trace of relief. Zhang Chuang is his most outstanding disciple and the most effective cadre around him.

In the field of paying attention to the calm character of the surname, must be good at camouflage or proficient in pretending, act like anything, when necessary, any courtesy, righteousness and shame can be used as a weapon, and can also be used as a tattered secret agent, this Zhang Chuang is definitely a super alternative.

The first thing the instructors have to do when the new students enter the school is to educate these recruits who may be among normal people and are also elites, so that they can know that there are people outside the sky, and only by deliberately suppressing and polishing their arrogance again and again can they return to the zero mentality, put away the self-righteous edges and corners on their bodies, and become a group of good babies who are kneaded and shaped by their instructors.

Therefore, every instructor will try his best to sneer at the new students when they teach them, and then find a few targets to teach them a hard lesson, which can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys.

As a result, on the first day, Zhang Chuang became the first chicken in Guan Xingjie's shock education class, and was easily knocked unconscious by Guan Xingjie on the spot in the heads-up between the instructor and the students. The next day, everyone thought that Zhang Chuang should be convinced and honest, who would have thought that in another instructor's class, this stunned young man would continue to challenge the instructor, and the result can be imagined, he was knocked down by another instructor in one fell swoop.

After two weeks, even characters like Guan Xingjie had to sigh that they, the instructors, did not give this fierce bastard boy a shock education lesson, but were shocked by him.

But because of this two-week long repeated defeat, even the ribs were broken twice, and he still insisted on not allowing others to trample on his dignity.

Zhang Chuang carried a Thomson submachine gun and strode forward along the path that the three infiltrators had already explored. Compared with the colleagues behind him who like to hide in dark corners, and even use each other's bodies as shields, Zhang Chuang looks more like a professional soldier than an intelligence officer who is good at infiltration, incitement, intelligence gathering and assassination.

Suddenly Zhang Chuang stopped, and just as he looked up, in the sound of the branches being pulled, a fist-sized stone fell from the tree of a big tree, and when Zhang Chuang's eyes instantly shrank into the most dangerous pinhole, a bamboo tube mine hidden in the middle of the tree and caused by the force of the stone falling was detonated.

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion was not very loud, and the shock wave and fragments of the bamboo tube were not even affected from three meters away, but a ball of light as hot and bright as the noon sun suddenly rose up with the big tree as the core, and the silvery-white light that could blind people's eyes for a short time covered a radius of hundreds of meters in an instant.

This turned out to be a homemade flare with magnesium powder or titanium sponge powder added to it!

At the same time as the flare exploded, Zhang Chuang had already closed his eyes, and the whole person threw himself forward, ignoring the fact that there were probably mines planted on the ground, and turned over several times until his body rolled into a safe corner. Turning his head to look at the subordinates who were originally following him, in the face of this flare that suddenly bloomed, they all closed their eyes, put their bodies as close to the ground as possible, and reduced the exposed volume to the lowest point, Zhang Chuang's heart fell to the bottom in an instant, and he roared loudly: "Find cover!" ”

Veteran agents who had taken the same course at school knew that when crossing dangerous areas at night, the first thing to watch out for was landmines, followed by trip-flare flares. Although a flare that emits a silvery-white light and illuminates a radius of several hundred meters will not directly inflict fatal damage on them, it will completely expose them to the enemy's sight.

According to the tutorial, according to the instructor's teaching, at this critical time, all they have to do is to immediately close their eyes, and then quickly crouch down and stay still. The reason is simple: the human eye is easy to ignore motionless objects, but it is particularly sensitive to objects in motion.

According to theory, according to common sense, according to the tutorial, it is better to move than not to move, and the reactions of these senior agents cannot be said to be unpleasant, and the actions cannot be said to be incorrect. Most of them were even ready to quickly organize a counterattack after the flare was extinguished. Because when the flare exploded, the silver light bloomed, although they were caught off guard, they still closed their eyes for the first time.

And if the enemy wants to find them and snipe them, they must keep their eyes open and stare at their position to find a target, in this case, it only takes more than ten seconds, the silver-white light will affect the enemy's vision, when all the chemicals in the flare are burned off, the silver-white flame is extinguished, and everything returns to darkness, those enemies' eyes will instantly sink into absolute darkness.

But except for Zhang Chuang, none of them noticed that the flare was not caused by one of them accidentally kicking the tripping hairline at all, but was detonated by something moving a fist-sized stone and using the force of the stone to fall! No matter how cleverly placed the stone was, how could a dozen of them, walking as light as cats, let a stone stand on a big tree more than ten meters away roll down?

Hearing Zhang Chuang's roar, some of the nimble intelligence officers had already thought of the strange place of this flare, although they closed their eyes tightly, but their highly trained brains still clearly engraved the grass and trees around them when they closed their eyes, just as their bodies moved, ready to move, they heard a loud shout: "Fire!" ”

The man who shouted wildly was Uncle Jiu, who, in the unlikely event of an impossible, led a dozen peasants armed with formal rifles, double-barreled shotguns, old-fashioned muskets, and even bows and arrows to appear on Zhang Chuang's right flank.

If in normal times, no one would be hit by such a backward weapon, but now everyone is squatting on the ground with their eyes closed, they are the purest fixed target, with the sound of gunshots, Zhang Chuang's ears suddenly came out of a suppressed groan, for a while I don't know how many people were hit by bullets, how many people were seriously injured.

After a row of guns was released, more than a dozen peasants who had never received military training, let alone actual combat experience, quickly retreated under the leadership of Uncle Jiu after pushing away the trick of covering their eyes, which can be called glasses.

Of course, they didn't have glasses, and it was impossible for them to have glasses that could effectively resist the glare of the flares, but Lei Zhen had a way to teach them to use the materials they could use at hand to temporarily make a batch of things that could really allow them to look directly at the target in a miserable situation.

To put it bluntly, it's as simple as finding some broken glass, lighting a candle, and placing the broken glass pieces about two inches above the wick. Then slowly move the glass piece in your hand, so that the black smoke generated when the candle burns is evenly coated on the glass, so that the most primitive glass mirror can effectively filter the strong light.

Although such a thing is rudimentary, it can definitely provide the necessary protection for the eyes in the face of bright light. If you are lucky enough to encounter astronomical phenomena such as eclipses, and you do not have professional observation equipment in your hands, you can also use such glass pieces to directly face the blazing sun to enjoy this astronomical landscape that has been rare for decades.

Although with this kind of play, when the flare is burning, everything looks like a layer of pale red outline, but these improvised armed peasants, the first time they go to the battlefield and try to kill for the first time, it is good to be able to hold the guns in their hands flat, and they still expect them to point where to fight? It's better to see if the blind cat can meet the dead mouse!

As for the method to use to make a shelf and embed such a specially processed glass piece in the middle, and then wear it in front of your eyes, that is, the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers, and let those peasant brothers who had just turned into the militia figure out their own way.
