842 Play with the Eyes of the Heart

At the same time, another team of machetes had already entered the room from the opposite side. By the light of day, the first bandit broke through the window and saw Wright lying on the ground. Thinking that it was a sleeping guerrilla, the bandits went up with a knife, cut off the head, and cheered in their hands, while the bandits swarmed in and searched every room of the abandoned church school, but found no one else. Soon someone felt that something was wrong, because every piece of the house emitted a stench.

Qin Xiaosu hid a kilometer away, holding a * in his hand. He installed * in the school, and in order to give an explanation to the people around him, he also carried a wire roller and laid a detonating wire for a distance, pretending that he didn't actually need any wire. He had a more reliable method of radio detonation.

He observed the enemy's movements, and one of them remained in the west, not approaching. It seems that we can't wait for all the enemies to take the bait any longer. He decisively pressed the detonation button.

Scattered all over the rudimentary school, about 20 kilograms* and 30 kilograms* exploded together in an iron drum. Limited to the limited number of troops carrying, the explosive yield can only reach this share, but yesterday afternoon, he led a squad to collect a lot of iron chips, gravel, and human and animal feces as fragments and collateral damage. The addition of feces is to increase the chances of infection in the wound of a person hit by fragments, and in the era of antibiotics, this infection means a tenfold increase in the chances of dying from sepsis in a week.

Haji watched about 150 meters as a soldier, carrying a human head, walked to the square in front of the house and began to dance, anticipating what might happen, he could remind his uncle and his hundreds of men, but he did not. He thought that maybe he could let this rabble test the depths of the water, maybe it was just his own suspicion. As for his uncle's life, he didn't pay much attention to it, he had more than a dozen uncles, and it didn't matter if one or two died.

The explosion suddenly sounded, and hundreds of bandit soldiers surrounding the school all collapsed in the flames, and the force of the explosion razed the wooden houses to the ground, and some of the larger stone fragments that were used as fragments even collapsed on the heads of the Haji troops 150 meters away due to the sufficient kinetic energy.

Immediately, * exploded around his ranks, and he chose to attack at dawn, for good visibility and not to be accidentally injured, but this also allowed the Chinese mortars on the hill to better observe the target.

The shells fell around Haji's team, but fortunately his formation was scattered, and for a time there were not many casualties, but the troops quickly became confused. Hadjimatyat quickly recovered from his panic, and judging by the sparse sound of explosions, the enemy had only one or two mortars. Seeing that the troops had lost their organization and had no time to gather everyone, he hurriedly abandoned the farther left side of the troops, and led the right flank troops around him to run the way they came.

Lin Xiuxuan observed the enemy on the mountain, and sure enough, he was chasing rabbits, and scattered in a hurry. His half-track came out of concealment and fired 12.7mm machine gun fire on the retreating enemy troops, driving them to Luo Yang's ambush position. But even in the wilderness, there are more than enough obstacles for the enemy. Some scattered enemies were still scattered in all directions, some died from bullets, and some were hidden in the artemisia grass, which could not be annihilated for a while.

About a hundred men were running towards Luo Yang's position, and soon they were caught in crossfire, and they could not raise their heads from the fire of the armored vehicles from the flanks and the machine guns in the front, and 60-mm shells exploded in their middle from time to time. It was a matter of time before the main forces of the enemy were annihilated.

Lin Xiuxuan looked at his watch, it was time to send a telegram to Suzuki to report his safety. He motioned to Qin Xiaosu and immediately sent a report as planned. The telegram read: "The upper echelons of the guerrillas have been devastated, and I have been given command, but the troops are scattered and will take several days to integrate."

This telegram has a hidden secret. In order to test whether Suzuki grasped Makino's position, the telegram hinted that the guerrillas were scattered (which is also true), and if Suzuki had any instructions on the movement of the guerrillas, it could be further analyzed.

At the same time, the siege and annihilation battle was still going on, and the gunfire had gradually thinned out. The final liquidation was still underway, and the counting of the dead bodies had begun, and the troops had captured a few alive prisoners and forced the captives to identify the dead bodies as haji or other chiefs. Of course, Lin Xiuxuan knew that it was not realistic to encircle and annihilate the enemy completely, and there would always be some slips through the net. If it was just an ordinary bandit, he would probably run home, but if Haji escaped like that, the situation was much more complicated, if he went back to report the news, of course, the plan to deceive Suzuki would be ruined, and in addition, the leaders of the MCP seemed to be quite afraid of this person, and it was best to solve it first for the stability of the local area in the future.

Suzuki was also shocked when he received Wright's telegram, he didn't expect it to go so well, he was originally worried that Wright might be recognized by his own people, or "mistakenly killed" by the unruly Haji. He is particularly concerned about the latter.

Haji does not like the Chinese, nor does he like the Communist Party, and is very stubborn. Even though Wright is neither real* nor really Chinese, Hagi still beats Wright in front of Suzuki from time to time, which makes Suzuki unable to get off the stage, so Suzuki has reason to worry that Wright will be killed by Hagey.

But soon there was another piece of good news that diluted Suzuki's suspicions. In the morning, a native found Suzuki's unit, claiming to have been looking for a Japanese in the vicinity, and brought an important message from another Japanese. The message says: Prepare the gold and head to the Temple of Zheng Ho on the banks of the Kelantan River.

He interrogated the visitor and confirmed that it was a message from Makino. Recently, the tribal elders have sent more than a dozen such messengers to find nearby Japanese, such a move is undoubtedly a bit risky, but Makino is now desperate and can only take some risks. He probably knew that the Japanese came by boat, so he put his next chance to get out by the river. It's a smart move.

However, the visitor also said that the natives and the guerrillas were currently at war, and Makino's idea of meeting up at the river seemed to be a bit taken for granted, and when he came, he was searched by the guerrillas several times, and was allowed to go because he had no weapons on him. But if a group of people go to the Zhenghe Temple by the Dan River, once they encounter the guerrillas, they may have to fight (this is the first reaction of the armed natives with weapons)

Keiji Suzuki hesitated what to do, he had to absolutely guarantee Makino's safety, and now Makino was in the midst of a storm. The Japanese army in the south will soon cross the Kelantan River, but Makino can't get such information, so he doesn't know that hiding is the best way, but he is in a hurry to run, and he can only cooperate according to his plan. So only Wright can play, but why did Wright go so well? After all, he was a professional spy, and it was impossible not to think about such a question.

It is not surprising that such a thing as the head of the guerrilla group has happened many times with the help of a traitor like Wright. Of course, the guerrillas are like hundred-legged insects, and they cannot be completely destroyed by simply eliminating the leader, so Wright offered a plan to let an unqualified, incapable, and unfamiliar boy become the commander of the northern district, so as to increase the internal friction of the guerrillas, which is more effective than carrying out assassinations all the time. Of course, behind this poisonous plan, there is an implicit message that Chen Ping is a waste, which does explain Suzuki's current doubts: why Wright was able to gain control smoothly.

Having figured this out, he immediately sent a telegram to Wright, asking him to make many deployment adjustments to the guerrillas, to gather some troops and to cede some areas. Of course, it's impossible not to fill the content with water. Most of the areas he asked to get out of the way were pointless, far from the Kelantan River, just in case the whole intention was seen through.

On Lin Xiuxuan's side, the battlefield had been cleaned up, and Haji's body was not found. He received the telegram, and apparently Suzuki took the bait. He summoned Chen Ping and Luo Yang, asked them about the areas where the Japanese wanted the guerrillas to leave, and analyzed them.

The two of them were well acquainted with the terrain, and it quickly became apparent that the intention of the messenger of the telegram was to gain access to the movement, as these areas were guarded by some of the main passages, and the abandonment of these areas meant that the enemy could move freely. However, the places given are scattered, all the places are connected, more than two thousand square kilometers, such a vast area, it does not seem to have any internal connection.

Of course, Lin Xiuxuan could see that this was Suzuki playing with his heart. So he sent a second telegram to Suzuki, claiming that some troops had communication difficulties, and that he might be able to carry out all of this intention in four to five days. At the same time, he screened about half of the areas and asked Chen Ping to report to the troops in the above areas and transfer them according to Suzuki's intentions.

Suzuki took several radio stations and used different crystals to detect the communications of the MCP guerrillas at any time, and these communication channels and passwords, of course, were provided by Wright.

His radio station did intercept some of the CPM guerrillas' telegrams, and Wright seemed to have begun to carry out his intentions, but he also missed about half of the area, which of course was reasonable, since some of the troops did not have a radio and needed a correspondent to send information. This is the reason why it takes four or five days, as mentioned in Wright's recall. However, the area he really cared about had already been mentioned on the radio, so it could be seen that the plan had succeeded. In the rest of the places, it doesn't matter how love is mobilized.

A further message was added to eliminate further dangers, requiring the guerrillas to halt their advance towards the Kelantan River Valley. This was a slightly rash decision he made after seeing the empirical evidence of Wright's success in seizing power—a telegram sent to guerrillas everywhere. Of course, it was also a helpless move to ensure the rescue of Makino.

Lin Xiuxuan immediately obtained enough information to screen it. First of all, he made sure that the area where the telegram was not sent was not in Suzuki's plan, and because he did not follow, he reduced the area by more than half. Secondly, of course, it was Suzuki who wanted the guerrillas not to move south near the Kelantan River.

The river flows widely, so Suzuki doesn't feel like it's leaking too much information, but if you overlap the two parts, it's easy to find the place where Suzuki really cares. It is at the bend of the Kelantan River.
