The spy company spent a cold winter in a beautiful valley in Gaoligong Mountain, near the old hunter's house, relying on the supplies brought by the Baoshikeng Military Station and the airdrop materials intercepted.
During this period, Zheng Chengkui was praised by the Expeditionary Force Headquarters and was promoted to major general.
Why was Zheng Chengkui promoted to major general so quickly?
This has to start with Dong Limao getting rid of Kong Xiangfei and others.
The news of the death of Kong Xiangfei, the largest traitor in the enemy-occupied area in western Yunnan, and his subordinate Yu Qiuyu, who was killed, was reported to the Expeditionary Force headquarters in the rear. Zheng Chengkui didn't know. When the Expeditionary Force headquarters sent a telegram to congratulate Zheng Chengkui, he was still confused and could not understand that the anti-traitor team was wiped out. Someone killed Kong Xiangfei, and also killed several young traitors and the highest Japanese leader of the Japanese army stationed in Mangshima.
Zheng Chengkui thought about it and realized in his heart that it must be the ones of Dong Limao's spy company. Since it was the spy company, it was also the anti-Japanese guerrillas he led. He had lost contact with Dong Limao for a long time. If the headquarters had not sent a telegram to praise him, he might have thought that he would have such a sharp force that could conquer and fight.
Li Dequan was a little dissatisfied when he learned that the headquarters praised Zheng Chengkui because he believed that the award should belong to Dong Limao and his spy company, so he found Zheng Chengkui.
"Commander Zheng, there will be no one except Dong Jiacheng and his spy company who have eliminated Kong Xiangfei and others. Shouldn't anyone report it to the headquarters and posthumously award the spy company and Dong Jiacheng the credit?"
Zheng Chengkui's new general uniform has not been worn for a few days. Suddenly, he heard Li Dequan say this in front of him. He was very annoyed, but it was not easy to get angry. His eyes rolled around twice, and he said with a smile: "Li Dequan, you and I have thought of going together! Let's do this, take a platoon of brothers to find Dong Jiacheng. This winter, I don't know where he took the company cat to have fun. I haven't heard of his spy killing the Japanese for a long time. I really miss him a good brother. Go and find him for me. I want to praise him and the spy company well."
Li Dequan cursed in his heart: '***! It's not easy to ask me to bring only one platoon. It's not easy to find Dong Jiacheng and the others in Gaoligong Mountain. Maybe he will meet the Japanese devils' patrol, but if I don't obey, he will definitely drive me away from him on the grounds of disobedience! I have seen through it. It's better to take this opportunity to find a way out with my people!"
Thinking that Zheng Chengkui was no longer the loyal Shan Dawang who was a bandit in the past, Li Dequan was deeply disappointed. He saved his life. He followed him through life and death. Until now, he has only become a major guard battalion commander.
"Okay, I'll take someone to find Dong Jiacheng and the others." Li Dequan agreed to Zheng Chengkui in disappointment.
Although Gaoligong Mountain is located in the subtropical region, it is particularly cold in winter because of its high altitude and humid altitude.
The anti-Japanese guerrilla column in western Yunnan lacks food and clothing, and most of them hide in caves and woods. They think bears are like hibernating. Some people have been abandoned, but they are all caught and killed. Many people are afraid that they will not be able to escape and behead their heads. No matter how cold or hungry they are, they can only endure it.
When Li Dequan selected personnel, he was eager to follow him, but Li Dequan could not bring too many people. He selected fifty strong men and set out when it was dark. He avoided the investigation of the military police and successfully left the guerrilla column headquarters.
Li Dequan had no intention of finding Dong Limao and the spy company. He took these fifty people and did not wander around Gaoligong Mountain, but went to a mountain village in Gaoligong Mountain in Tengchong.
The village is called Mangzhuo. Although there are only a dozen families, it still provides sufficient food for more than 50 people to spend the winter. With a comfortable nest of food, drink and warmth, Li Dequan and the others don’t want to wander around the mountains. In this way, they stayed happily in this village.
After the Spring Festival, the weather gradually warmed up, and the Japanese devils in Tengchong City began to quietly implement an inhumane plan that had affected decades of death after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
This plan is a part of the Southeast Asian biological warfare of the 731st Force branch.
Hiroji Ikeda was appointed as the supreme commander of the Tengchong Bacterial Force by the Yunnan-Burma Japanese Army Command.
As early as autumn, the Japanese army began to ask villagers near Tengchong City to catch live mice in the fields. They raised these live mice in a concentrated manner and infected the mice with the plague. In order to verify the power of the plague, Koji Ikeda decided to find a relatively remote village and release the infected mice.
When Ikeda Koji was the patrol team leader, he visited Mangzhuo Village and knew very well about the geographical environment of the village. He chose the place where the rats that were released for the first time were released. In order not to let the villagers in the village notice, he brought people wearing chemical protection suits to carry iron cages of rats. After dark, he went out of the city near Mangzhuo Village late at night, released all the more than 100 mice infected with the plague she brought, and then quietly returned to Tengchong City.
After being infected with the book, it usually takes several days before people get sick, so Ikeda Hiroji plans to take his troops to Mangzhuo Village in a week to check the results.
Of course, Koji Ikeda didn't know that there were about fifty people living in Mangzhuo Village.
Li Dequan and the others could not have imagined that the god of death had surrounded the village.
The mice infected with plague who were released were unable to find food and drink in the barren mountains and forests, and the weather was still relatively cold. In order to find a nest for food and keep warm, they all entered the households in Mangzhuo Village, and competed for food with the original mice in the village, biting each other, and also spread the plague bacteria carried on them to the mice in the village.
The spread of plague is mainly through the intermediate host fleas. Generally, in spring, mice come out and move more ordinary. The fleas on their bodies take the opportunity to find new animals to bite. Especially when infected mice die, fleas on their bodies often jump to humans and other animals to continue to survive in order to find new hosts. The fleas suck the blood of the mice with bacteria, and then bite people and other animals, which will spread the bacteria to humans and other animals.
Li Dequan and his friends stayed in Mangzhuo Village for about ten days. Some villagers found that the rats in their homes who were usually furious died for no reason. They were very happy. The rats died by themselves without medicine. This is indeed worth the happiness.
But within a few days, some people gradually developed high fever, first of all, the elderly and children, and then young and middle-aged people began to get sick. More than half of the more than 50 soldiers brought by Li Dequan fell ill.
There was a wizard in the village who said that this was because the soldiers who had killed people attracted ghosts to the village. They had to kill these people with ghosts to save the village. So the villagers began to prepare to attack Li Dequan and the others in private.
That evening, an old man in the village invited Li Dequan and others to prepare a lot of rice wine and bacon.
A few of the fifty soldiers had died and almost all of them had developed illness to varying degrees, but these people had good physical condition and could still hold on. They all went to the old man's house to eat and drink. After drinking a few jars of rice wine, everyone was drunk, including Li Dequan.
The men in the village, like slaughtering pigs, killed dozens of Li Dequan and others with the knife that killed pigs and cows. While killing people, the wizard was also exorcist while exorcizing the demons. However, the next day, the young and middle-aged people and several old people who were still alive in the village fell to illness, including the wizard.
Dong Limao and the spy company had a very comfortable winter. Although they were resting, they did not slackened. They insisted on training every day, and cross-country running almost became a subject that the spy company had to train every morning, so every soldier's physical fitness was strengthened.
One day in early April, Dong Limao convened a meeting of several platoon leaders.
"The unbearable winter has passed, and we should go down the mountain to fight the Japanese like tigers." Dong Limao calculated silently in his heart. It had been a year since he traveled through time, and less than a year later, the Expeditionary Force was about to start a counterattack, and the Battle of Songshan would also begin. But now, the photo of Elizabeth Terry taking at Huitong Bridge by the Nujiang River has not yet reached his own hands, but he no longer cared whether he could go back to the era in which he lived in the past. He just wanted to take this opportunity to kill a few more Japanese Japanese.
"Company Commander, do you have a goal?" Liu Yudong asked.
Dong Limao nodded and smiled and said, "It's better for Liu Yudong to understand me. Yes, I decided to destroy the Japanese patrols in the mountains one by one. In winter, the trees and trees fell, the shrubs and grass were all decayed, and it was difficult to hide. The trees in the forest were lush and lush, which was a good season for hunting. Those Japanese and puppet troops were too arrogant. It was time to teach them a lesson."
After hearing Dong Limao's words, everyone was ready to rest for a winter and seemed to be addicted to murder.
"Company Commander, you won't want to kill the Japanese like us, right?" Wang Jiagui said happily.
Dong Limao was indeed itchy. He hadn't killed the Japanese devils for several months. He felt a little uncomfortable: "Haha...yes, I want to kill the devils." Then he stopped laughing abruptly and said with a straight face: "The most important thing is that we need supplies. This winter, we consumed the reserved food, and the villages are entering a period of shortage of food. We should reach out to the devils for food."
After the New Year, Pan Guangzu told Dong Limao that the spy company didn't have much food reserves. From then on, Dong Limao was thinking about how the spy company should survive. He did not expect Zheng Chengkui to replenish supplies to the spy company.
"Company Commander, why do we look far away? There are also Japanese patrols nearby." Zhang Dali asked.
"Don't forget, Tengchong has our old friend Wang Fugui, who is our big logistics supporter." Dong Limao said with a laugh.
"When will we set out?" Gou Hao asked.
"Tomorrow." Dong Limao answered without hesitation.
