Cicada Moving

Chapter 707 How to outwit

 “Hu~hu~”

In a small mountain col to the north of Xiaoniujiaogou Village, Zhou Mingshan jumped off a rock quickly. After landing, he slowly adjusted his breathing and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

After a few minutes, after making sure there was no ambush, he put his fingers in his mouth and whistled. More than a hundred heavily armed men emerged from the snow nests on the mountain and behind the big trees.

They are the operatives of the Anti-Alliance. After receiving the captain's signal, these people quickly occupied the favorable terrain and lay down in the cold snow quietly waiting for the arrival of their collaborators.

It was 2:30 in the afternoon, and there was still half an hour before the agreed rendezvous time. Obviously, the underground party members did not trust the Secret Service and arrived at the gathering place in advance to conduct control.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

twenty minutes

It was almost three o'clock, but the people from the Secret Service still hadn't arrived. The lookout from the commanding heights looked for a long time, and made a gesture to the bottom of the mountain to indicate that he didn't see anyone approaching.

Zhou Mingshan was shocked. Was it because the other party was frightened after seeing the Japanese's actions last night, or was there an accident? The former was fine, but the latter would be the most dangerous one for them.

He thought about it and decided to wait for the last five minutes. After five minutes, he retreated anyway. He could not joke with the precious lives of more than a hundred comrades.

As time passed, a little sparrow landed on the snow and jumped around, looking for grass seeds or any food that could help it survive the cold winter.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

It seems that he found something good. The sparrow stopped in an open space and started pecking its head up and down. This scene attracted the attention of Zhou Mingshan, who was looking anxious.

He has been staying in the mountains for the past few years due to the large-scale campaign of the Japanese and puppets. He is very familiar with the habits of these small animals. When the mountains are closed by heavy snow, they will often forage around the roots of trees.

Since there is only food there, such as the fruits that fall from the trees in autumn, the insects that are attracted by the leaves and then freeze to death, etc., there is nothing good to stay in an open space.

He stared closely at the empty space, a guess flashed in his mind, and he suddenly stood up and shouted to the empty snow: "I have seen you, there is no need to hide, come out."

Who is hiding?

 Where are you hiding?

The anti-union action personnel behind Zhou Mingshan were confused, especially a bald man with a similar temperament to Gui Youguang, who touched his bald forehead in confusion.

This place is so big and there is not much shelter. You can see clearly at a glance. They are not blind. It is impossible not to see someone hiding, unless the other person is hiding in the snow.

kindness?

Some smart Anti-League fighters have thought of this possibility. In fact, in daily battles, the Anti-League fighters also used similar methods to avoid searches or ambushes by the Japanese and puppet troops.

After shouting, Zhou Mingshan saw that there was no movement in the snow. He winked at the bald head and pointed at the rocks at his feet, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

The bald man understood and bent down to pick up a stone and weighed it. Maybe he thought it was too light. He picked up another stone and pinched it in his hand. Then he swung his thick arm and threw it at the sparrow's feet.

"Snapped."

　　A cloud of snow was smashed away, and the sparrows were so frightened that they quickly flapped their wings and flew into the sky. There was no movement in the snow, and it didn't look like anyone was there, otherwise they would definitely come out if they were hit by stones.

Zhou Mingshan frowned. Could it be that his inference was wrong? Is there any place around where he could hide people? Forget it, he couldn't wait any longer. He turned around and said to his subordinates in a deep voice.

 “Prepare to withdraw”

 “沙沙.沙.”

Just as he was giving the order, a hand and then a head came out of a small snow bag only a few meters away from them. Someone had actually been hiding beside them.

The man stood up and shook off the snow on his white cloak behind him. He raised his head and revealed a black mask. He chuckled and joked: "You underground party members are too impatient.

 Having waited for dozens of minutes, are you so impatient to leave? Could it be that you are afraid of the Japanese? If so, our Secret Service will do the task ourselves and we will not send you far away. "

 “Bah, you’re the one who’s scared.”

The big bald man who threw the stone spat when he heard this, and wanted to refute with a look of disdain. Speaking of cowardice, who can compare with this group of fruit party agents who ran away when the situation was not going well.

 After the Northeast was occupied by the Japanese, many government lurkers chose to flee into the customs or surrender to the enemy due to the massacre and capture by the Japanese. How could the other side be embarrassed to say anything about them?

 “Okay, be disciplined.”

Zhou Mingshan raised his hand to stop him and stared at the masked man: "You are from the Secret Service? Why can't you show your true face? This is not the attitude you should have for cooperation.

 Okay, let’s not talk nonsense. How many of you are there? You and I will exchange the latest information, determine the specific plans and division of labor, and start taking action as soon as it gets dark. "

 “It’s my duty, please forgive me.”

The person behind the mask smiled and did not directly answer the questions raised by Zhou Mingshan. Instead, he clapped his hands, and four more figures slowly emerged from various places.

"There are six of us in total, and only five can participate in the operation, one doctor and three operatives, one of whom is a woman, and the last one is of little use."

The person who spoke was naturally Zuo Zhong. The Anti-League people knew how to deploy control in advance. Of course he also knew that after jumping out of the car with He Yijun, they and the other two groups arrived here at two o'clock.

He did this not to embarrass the underground party. The two parties had many old grudges before. If you didn't show your hand, you would be easily looked down upon by the other party. Personal honor and disgrace are small things, but it will affect the completion of the task.

 “What, five people?”

Zhou Mingshan laughed angrily and pointed at He Yijun and others who came over: "Are you kidding? We are going to attack the Japanese bacterial weapons base, not to go to the theater. Do you know how many guards there are in Beiyin River? This team is larger than an ordinary squadron. I must be responsible for the soldiers and this operation is cancelled."

 A Japanese field team generally consists of a 7-man team headquarters, three 13-man detachments, and an 8-man grenade detachment equipped with three grenade launchers, for a total of 54 people.

The four teams have more than 200 people, not counting the guards. No wonder Zhou Mingshan is so angry. The Guo Party has made it clear that they want the Anti-Japanese Alliance to be used as cannon fodder, which is absolutely unacceptable.

 “Wait, don’t rush.”

Zuo Zhong shook his head slightly and said calmly: "If it's a head-to-head confrontation, we definitely don't have enough people on both sides, but if it's a smart fight, more than a hundred people are enough to capture the Beiyin River.

Let me ask a question first. Your intelligence says that there are more than 30 scientific researchers and two Japanese military detachments in the target’s underground facilities, with specialized personnel in charge of logistics, right? "

  “Yes, that’s right.”

Zhou Mingshan confirmed the accuracy of the intelligence with a sullen face. This was the news from the informants lurking inside the base. It was very reliable. The question is what does this have to do with outsmarting.

 Could it be that the other party wants to use their influence to sneak in? But if he could sneak in, would he still have to cooperate with the Guo Party? Their Anti-League team had already blown the Beiyin River into ruins.

Sure enough, you shouldn’t have any illusions about the Fruit Party. Looking at the weapons prepared by the opponent, I thought he was an expert, but I didn’t expect that he was another fool who only knew how to talk on paper.

So he said in a serious tone: "Just knowing the number of people is useless. If you want to break into the underground laboratory, you must first break through the wall and clear out all the guards and guards."

 “There is a secret passage in Beiyin River.”

 Before Zhou Mingshan could finish speaking, Zuo Zhong uttered four words. Everyone present was stunned. This was the first time for people from the Secret Service and those from the Anti-Japanese Alliance to hear about this matter.

Looking at the confused expressions of everyone, he asked another question: "How many uniforms and lab coats do the technicians in the underground laboratory plus the Japanese army have to change every day?"

　　After saying that, he looked around to hear the answer, but most of the people were even more confused. It was all about nothing. Why did he just talk about the secret passage and it was on their clothes.

Only Zhou Mingshan fell into deep thought. The insider said that there was a dedicated person responsible for the logistics of the underground laboratory personnel, and no one else knew whether this special agent had discovered something.

 “Can’t you answer?”

Over there, Zuo Zhong looked at his men, then at the anti-union fighters, and when no one replied, he spread his hands: "Actually, I don't know, I only know that they have no place to dry their clothes.

Don’t forget, there is no sun underground. How do you dry washed clothes? Do you rely on heat to bake them? It’s possible in winter, but it’s not economical in summer.

It is even more impossible to send it outside. It is highly confidential among the Japanese. Personnel are rotated every six months. If there are laundry workers coming and going every day, is it still considered highly confidential? "

yes!

 Where are the washed clothes?

Zhou Mingshan felt like he was struck by lightning. He had come to Beiyinhe to investigate before, and even stayed there for a long time. He didn't see anyone taking out clothes or sending clothes in from the three-story building.

The Japanese can't just do experiments and perform duties. It is possible for the Kwantung Army, but the technicians will never do this because the intelligence said there are several women there.

 In this way, there is a high probability that there is a secret passage in Beiyin River. The logistics and material supplies of the underground laboratory are all carried out through the secret passage, but where is the entrance and exit of the secret passage?

His eyes fell on the masked agent. Since the other party told this matter, he must have discovered something. No wonder he dared to participate in today's operation with five people.

 “One more thing.”

Zuo Zhong and Zhou Mingshan looked at each other, and then pointed to the ground: "There are many types of underground facilities, and they have one thing in common, that is, a second exit will be built.

 The first is to prevent being blocked by the enemy, and the second is to escape in an emergency. These two functions require that the second exit must be concealed and not be located in a too remote place.

If dozens of people emerge from the wilderness, it is equivalent to telling the enemy that there is a problem here, then is there an inconspicuous and crowded place near Beiyin River? "

"have."

 “Xiaoniujiaogou Village.”

It is Zhou Mingshan who talks about it, and Wu Chunyang who talks about Xiaoniujiaogou Village. As the village closest to the Kwantung Army’s bacterial weapons base, it perfectly meets these two requirements.

Set the secret exit in a village with a few hundred people. There are so many houses that outsiders can't find out, and the evacuees are mixed in among the villagers, and they won't arouse any suspicion.

 The clothes of underground laboratory personnel should be washed and dried here in normal times. Not to mention the Secret Service and the Anti-League, I am afraid that even the Japanese in the base do not know these things.

Not only that, this place can also be used as a guard post. If you want to attack the Baoyin River, Xiaoniujiaogou Village is the best observation point. Who would doubt an ordinary village.

Three gains with one stone, no, maybe four. The local people may also be guards. Coupled with the complex terrain inside the village, it is enough to hold back the attackers and wait for reinforcements.

Gou Ri's little devil,

So cunning!

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival break, I told the group that I was going to eat medicated chicken to replenish my body, but I ended up getting food poisoning. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot. The boss didn’t want to throw away the chicken from the previous day. I used it in bed these two days. The call is a bit slow, I'm sorry.
