It was night, and the people who had been noisy all day gradually fell asleep after completing the custom of "keeping the New Year" at the end. However, in a devil's stronghold called "Sanli Gangzi" in Suixian, the Japanese special operations detachment led by Masao Sato was ready to go.

Masao Sato was making his final pre-war instruction: "Tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Shina people, and the Shina people who have been reveling for a day should have entered a sweet sleep at this time. They would never have imagined that after a while, our Imperial Japanese Army would use a special way to pay homage to them in their early years, and the headquarters of the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army and the Dahongshan Guerrilla Independent Brigade hidden in the Luohan Cave in Tuanyuping would be wiped out, catch turtles in the urn, and set off! ”

On a halfway up the hill opposite the Luohan Cave in Tuanyuping, Jiang Hongzheng, the head of the Dahongshan Guerrilla Independent Brigade, was standing in front of the map of the temporary headquarters and analyzing the march route of Masao Sato. Since Masao Sato stationed in the "Sanli Gangzi" devil stronghold three days ago, the intelligence team sent by Jiang Hong has been like a leech to keep an eye on every move of Masao Sato's special operations detachment, and the information has been continuously transmitted back to the base camp through the radio, including Masao Sato sending people to the vicinity of Tuanyuping to step on the spot and connect with Wang Sanxi and the vice president of the field hospital, all of which are under Jiang Hong's control.

The precautions around the Zhaoquan River were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, starting from the 23rd day of the lunar month, and the surrounding areas were full of heavy troops. In and around Tuanyuping, Jiang Hong adopted the method of combining hunting formations with ambush warfare, setting up many traps and mines in key places, laying nets and waiting for the devil's special operations detachment to drill in.

Starting from the Sanli Gangzi stronghold in Suixian, Masao Sato led his special operations detachment over three mountains and reached the Zhaoquan River in just over two hours. They bypassed the place where the common people lived in Zhaoquanhe and went straight to Tuanyuping, where the headquarters of the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army was located. After crossing the Zhaigongling Ridge, the place where Tuanyuping must pass, they did not follow the wall-hanging trail designated by Wang Sanxi to enter Tuanyuping, but left two groups of people, one group of 10 people to guard the entrance of the trail, and the other group of 10 people set up 3 mortars on the mountain ridge. The rest of the group came directly to the top of the cliff where the entrance of the Luohan Cave was located, they set up more than 10 climbing ropes, and all of them wore gas masks, which surprised Wang Sanxi, who went to the top of the mountain to meet them, thinking that the vicious Japanese devils, they were going to use poison gas bombs to attack, and they must not let their plot succeed. Wang Sanxi took advantage of the night to flash to the side, secretly unscrewed the back cover of the four grenades he carried with him, pulled the fuse of the grenades together with his left hand, pulled out the shell gun with his right hand, rubbed the gun head on his thigh, and then moved in the direction where the gas bombs were stacked.

Masao Sato discovered Wang Sanxi's abnormality and scolded in a low voice, "Yaga! What do you want? ”

"What? Lao Tzu wants your life. Wang Sanxi scolded while pulling the trigger on the devil. He shouted loudly to Pingnai: "Beware of gas bombs! ”

The submachine gun in Masao Sato's hand rang out, Wang Sanxi stumbled, the moment he was shot, the beautiful face of Cuihua flashed in front of him, he desperately pulled out the fuse in his hand, and then rushed towards the devil's ammunition box. Rumble! Boom! With a few loud bangs, a huge fireball ignited in the night sky on the top of the Luohan Cave in Tuanyuping, and a pungent smell spread, and all the birds in the surrounding woods fell to the ground.

At this moment, on Yangchun Street in Zhongxiang County, two people who looked like little two helped Zhang Cuihua, the proprietress of Yangchun Hotel, and Chen Qing, the chef, into the carriage and drove towards the secluded Wharf Street. Inside the Yangchun Hotel, the lights are still bright. Cuihua, who was wrapped in a scarf on her head and dressed as a village woman, sat in the carriage and looked nostalgically at the Yangchun Restaurant that was getting farther and farther away and shed tears of reluctance. Suddenly, a cannon shot exploded in front of the carriage, and the horses, frightened, galloped through the narrow streets. Cuihua nervously grasped the handrail on the carriage with both hands, and felt faintly uneasy: "What is the situation?" Isn't it going to roll over? Brother Sanxi, where are you? Come and save me! At this moment, another cannon exploded in front of the running carriage, and the front hooves of the red horse pulling the cart were raised high, and after a long neigh, it actually stopped. In a trance, Cuihua's image of Brother Sanxi flashed in front of her eyes, only to see his face covered with blood, his eyes looking at her guiltily, his figure rising into the air, she shouted: "Brother Sanxi, wait for me!" Then he fainted in the carriage.

On the top of the hill where the Luohan Cave in Tuanyuping is located, with several earth-shattering loud noises, more than a dozen members of the Japanese devil's special combat team were blown up into the sky along with Wang Sanxi. Several other special operators who had not had time to put on their gas masks fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

The frightened Masao Sato came to his senses, and immediately gave the order to attack, and the remaining uninjured special combat team members immediately slid down the rope, and in a short time, they reached the entrance of the Luohan Cave. The entrance to the cave had been built with a half-man-high stone wall, and the two Maxim heavy machine guns on the stone wall fired snake-like flames, and several Japanese special combat personnel who slipped down from the top of the cave entrance were immediately beaten into a sieve. However, the rest of the devils were worthy of special forces, and their reactions were extremely agile, and they used their submachine guns to shoot long shots in the movement of the slide, and threw several grenades and gas canisters into the hole, and for a while the two heavy machine guns at the entrance of the cave immediately became mute, and violent coughing and painful moans came from the cave. Masao Sato personally led more than 50 special combat personnel to rush into the cave and found that in the front hall of more than 10,000 square meters, there were all kinds of tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, and in several tents erected in a row, there were sand tables for combat, long conference tables, antennas for the release of confidential rooms, and boiling water was boiling on a charcoal-burning stove. However, in the huge cave, except for the dozen or so guards who had been killed by them at the entrance of the cave, there was no one else. He looked up at the sky, and it was so dark that he couldn't see how high the roof of the cave was; Looking at the surroundings of the cave, the hole in the hole, the eerie bottomless, the sound of rushing water came from the depths of the cave, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, thinking that the enemy had all hid in the depths of the cave? If this is the case, with such a large space, even a few more poison gas bombs will not help, and maybe there is another exit from this hole. If the personnel of the command were really hiding in the cave, the entrance of the cave should not only be guarded by more than a dozen people. If there is no one in the cave, it means that the opponents have all evacuated, and the hole left behind is just a trap. Thinking of this, he became frightened, so he ordered to evacuate this dangerous place quickly, and before leaving the cave, they blew up some of the facilities in the cave, and put a few poison gas canisters into the cave in an inhumane way, thinking that whether you are hiding in the cave or not, I want you to taste the power of the Japanese Imperial Army.
