In order to prevent the national army from crossing the river on the east bank, the Japanese army set up several defensive artillery positions on the west bank of Nujiang River, all at the ferry. There are cliffs on both sides of the river, suitable for large-scale troops to cross the river. There are not many places. One of the larger ferry is near the bombed Huitong Bridge and when there were no bridges on both sides of the river, the passing merchants basically traveled from this ferry to the river. The river water at this ferry is not very turbulent. The Japanese artillery position located at the ferry is located in the woods behind a ridge on the bank of the river. It seems to be relatively concealed and cannot be seen on the other side of the river. Piaotian Silk Network ()

Dong Limao didn't know where to drive the truck, and he regretted not asking Masao Too Kubo clearly.

"Company Commander, I'm about to reach the riverside, but why didn't I see the cannon?" Zeng Zifan said, looking at the dark night outside the car window.

Because they were worried about the other party's artillery fire, the Japanese and puppet troops' defensive positions on the riverside did not have any lights, and the artillery positions naturally would not light up.

Dong Limao stopped the car, but did not turn off the engine or the lights.

Suddenly, a team of Japanese troops appeared in front of the headlights.

"Doctor Zeng, look at you. You have to ask where to send the empty bullets in the car?" Dong Limao finished speaking in a low voice and put on the mask.

Zeng Zifan jumped out of the car and waved to the group of Japanese soldiers walking opposite him.

"Baga! The lights are controlled here! The headlights are almost gone!" A Japanese soldier rushed to the mountain and shouted at Zeng Zifan.

Zeng Zifan then gestured to Dong Limao and shouted in Japanese: "Down the headlights!"

Dong Limao guessed from Zeng Zifan's gesture that the meaning of extinguishing the headlights, and turned off the headlights. Qin Haoran also turned off the headlights afterwards. This was agreed in advance. As long as Dong Limao does whatever he wants, he will do it as well.

At this time, there were about two hours before dawn, which was the darkest time.

Zeng Zifan explained the weapons loaded on the car to the other party and asked where the patrol soldiers should send them.

The soldier didn't know which artillery position the truck should drive to. He waved back and asked a soldier with a radio on his back to come forward and called Jiang'an Guard Command with the radio. Soon, the soldier asked the specific location and then told Zeng Zifan that there was a newly built road on the front, and the truck drove in, about one kilometer and could reach it.

This Japanese army patrolling team did not check the vehicles or personnel. It seemed that they were only responsible for the surrounding patrol tasks and the matter of checking the vehicles had nothing to do with them, or they believed that the military vehicles from Longling had undergone strict inspections on the road and there would be no problems.

This time, Dong Limao did not turn on the lights and drove blindly. The car slowly slid forward. After driving for about ten minutes, Dong Limao really saw a dirt road on the left that could pass a truck. He turned the car onto this road. The sound of the engine of the car seemed to alarm the officers and soldiers in the barracks of the Japanese artillery positions. The light of the flashlight was shaking not far from the front of the car.

"It should be here." Dong Limao whispered.

"Stop the car!" A resident officer shouted loudly on the opposite side.

"He said to stop the car." Zeng Zifan said to Dong Limao.

Dong Limao stopped the car steadily. Zeng Zifan jumped out of the car and trotted over. Dong Limao sat in the car and watched Zeng Zifan talk to the officer as the flashlight shook in front of him. He quietly held the gun. For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his eyelids kept twitching.

After a while, Zeng Zifan trotted back to the side of the car, climbed into the passenger seat, put his head in, and whispered to Dong Limao, "Our people cannot go in, they can carry the shells in."

"Where are those twenty shells?" Dong Limao asked.

"The officer didn't say anything." Zeng Zifan replied.

"No, you go and tell the officer that our people must carry the shells in. This is a high-risk material. Others cannot move around casually. Only when Ah safely sends the shells to the commander and gets the signed order, we can leave." Dong Limao said to Zeng Zifan.

While I was whispering, more than a dozen soldiers in chemical defense suits walked out of the woods, as if they were going to carry shells.

Dong Limao walked over to the road, got out of the car, walked to the back of the car, opened the car door, and waved to Qin Haoran and the others to get out of the car as well.

After getting off the car, Qin Haoran quickly walked to Dong Limao and whispered: "We'd better go in and see the artillery arrangements here."

"You bring your people to stop those who come over to carry the shells, and don't let them get close." Dong Limao whispered.

Qin Haoran waved his hand back, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance team who jumped out of the car immediately ran forward, stood apart on both sides, and stopped the dozen soldiers in chemical defense suits who were about to carry the shells.

Zeng Zifan said loudly to the officer: "Please hand over the weapons to your commander, no one is allowed to touch these spy weapons!" He looked like he was doing his job.

The officer had no choice but to move the weapons in with my people and yours."

Zeng Zifan then turned around and waved his hand: "Prepare the box from the car."

Dong Limao whispered to Qin Haoran: "Now go up and move the box out of the car."

The two got into the car one after another, and soldiers were receiving them under the car, and they carried the iron boxes one by one. More than a dozen people brought by the Japanese officer also mixed into the ranks of the reconnaissance team, which made Dong Limao complain. If the fight was fought, it would be troublesome.

Qin Haoran also felt that it was not good, but there was no other way, so he had to carry the last box with Dong Limao, follow the person in front, and walk in Wang Shulin.

It was too dark, and except for a few flashlights as lighting, it was almost difficult to see what the place ten meters away looked like.

After walking for a few minutes, I arrived at a military tent outside where there were guard soldiers who stopped all the people carrying the boxes and did not allow anyone to enter.

Dong Limao estimated that this place was mostly ammunition depot. If the artillery position was nearby, then the tent would probably be filled with shells.

Qin Haoran looked around and did not see a cannon, but he saw several military tents. With the shaking of the flashlight, there were signs that were strictly prohibited from smoking and fireworks outside the tent.

"This is their ammunition depot." Qin Haoran whispered to Dong Limao.

"It seems that we are in some trouble. As a last resort, we have to do it here." Dong Limao said in a low voice. He saw Zeng Zifan arguing with the two soldiers guarding the tent outside the tent in front.

Dong Limao looked anxiously at Zeng Zifan who was arguing with the guards. He saw an officer with a higher rank. Accompanied by two guards, he walked quickly from the right side. After talking to Zeng Zifan for a few words, he slapped the two soldiers guarding outside the tent, one of them slapped them in the face, as if very angry. Then, the two guards stood at both ends, Zeng Zifan waved to the back and asked the people in front to carry the box in.

Dong Limao and Qin Haoran walked into the tent last two, but there were a lot of shell boxes piled up inside. Twenty boxes that were exactly the same as the iron boxes that had just been transported in were placed on the left hand side of the tent. Dong Limao and Qin Haoran put the boxes that were carried in on the right side. Just as they were about to go to the left to carry the twenty boxes containing real plague bombs, a whistle suddenly sounded outside.

Dong Limao and Qin Haoran looked at each other, and then saw the two soldiers standing outside the tent rushing in with guns, screaming strangely, and stabbing the bayonet in their hands at Zeng Zifan and a person in chemical protection suit beside him.

It was too late for Dong Limao to rush forward to rescue him. Fortunately, Khan was next to Zeng Zifan, and the person who stabbed him in his hand was Sweat.

"Brothers! Take action!" Dong Limao shouted and pulled out his pistol from his body.

Almost as Dong Limao shouted, Khan flashed the bayonet that stabbed him sideways, kicked the guard who stabbed Zeng Zifan out of the door of the tent, and then smashed the guard who was stabbing with his right elbow on the face of the guard who was stabbed. He knocked the two guards down in seconds.

The soldiers in the reconnaissance platoon heard Dong Limao's roar and all the submachine guns in the chemical defense suit were fired outside the tent.

But the dozen Japanese who were mixed in the reconnaissance squad, although they had no guns on their bodies, they fought with the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad that fired.

The outside of the tent was almost surrounded by the Japanese who rushed over, but strangely, no one shot in it.

Dong Limao did not hear the Japanese outside shooting at the people in the tent. He knew that the Japanese were afraid of the ammunition inside, especially the plague bomb. He immediately said to Qin Haoran: "Captain Qin, we must assault in one direction, rush out and detonate here!"

"But in that direction should we assault?" Qin Haoran knew that he was surrounded, so he swept out and asked.

Dong Limao pulled out his dagger: "Follow me!" He turned around and ran to the back.

Why did the Japanese suddenly attack Dong Limao and the others?

It turned out that after the Japanese soldiers in Tengchong City were first sent out by a special mission company led by Liu Yudong, at first, the Japanese army in the city thought that the vague gunfire and explosions were the Japanese chasing the fleeing guerrillas, and they didn't care much. However, when the gunfire stopped, the Japanese army in Tengchong City called Heshun Township and the Japanese army sent reinforcements many times, but no response was received. So, another team was sent out of the city to Heshun Township. When they arrived at the base in Heshun Township, they found that all the Japanese and puppet troops there had been killed.

However, the Japanese army in Tengchong City did not know that Dong Limao wanted to exchange air bullets for real bullets, nor did he know that someone pretended to be a test base called the headquarters because they only received a call from Too Kubo to report that a small group of harassed guerrillas had been eliminated.

This delay gave Dong Limao and the others time, allowing the reconnaissance team to arrive at the destination smoothly.

When the Japanese army in Tengchong City reported the devastating attack on the Heshun Township base to the Japanese Army Command in western Yunnan, the officer on duty at the Japanese Army Command at that time was awakened by the orderly soldiers from his sleep. He did not expect that a unit was going to the riverside at the foot of Matsuyama to exchange for the plague bomb. It was not until Sakaguchi personally arrived at the command center and checked the phone number and report records around the night that he realized that he immediately called the riverside garrison commander Colonel Nakata Takeo.
