Chapter 37 Section 2 Crouching Dragon Lures the Enemy

The guerrillas evacuated from the road to the Golden Snake Valley.Shandao's motorcycle team came back to bite the guerrillas. He kept in touch with Sakai through the radio: "General, the guerrillas retreat to the direction of the Golden Snake Valley." Sakai ordered: "Follow them." Meng De and Yang Shaochuan were sitting in the No. 11 truck, he was overjoyed and said, "Yang Shaochuan, you have done a great job this time." Yang Shaochuan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Meng De, are we taking it too easy? "Meng De said: "How easy is this? Look at how many of our people have dispatched?" Yang Shaochuan said nothing, pointing to the four tin boxes, "Open it and have a look!" Meng De immediately came to his senses and said: "Look quickly." He took out his pistol, shot off the car lock, and opened the iron box to see that it was ore.Open four boxes in a row, all of which are ores.

Meng De smashed his fist on the iron box, which was a hole, and shouted: "I was fooled." The car was still driving in the direction of Golden Snake Valley. Yang Shaochuan quickly replayed what happened last night in his mind. He saw Sateng Shanmu return the key to Shandao, and he suddenly realized that Sateng Shanmu had transferred 10,000 taels of gold in advance. Yang Shaochuan stood up awkwardly, slapped the window of the cockpit, and shouted to stop.Meng De hurriedly asked: "Yang Shaochuan, what are you going to do?" Yang Shaochuan said: "I'm going to Kinugawa Company to find out where the gold is going."

Meng De said: "You have to be careful, Zuo Teng Shanmu may kill you." Yang Shaochuan said: "No, I will exchange the secret of Wolongju with him when necessary, and he will definitely go to Wolongju in desperation. When he arrives at Wolong Residence, he will find a solution." Meng De thought it was the only way to stop the truck, and Yang Shaochuan jumped off and ran towards Kinugawa Company. Yang Shaochuan ran all the way, came to Kinugawa Company, quickly searched in the house, but did not find Sato Yamaki, he pushed Zhang Tieqiao's room away, and found no one, he came to Junko's room anxiously, Junko was playing the piano, she Looking up at Yang Shaochuan, Yang Shaochuan said, "Mother, Zhang Tieqiao is missing." Junzi stood up in surprise, and said, "That might be a big deal." Yang Shaochuan then asked, "Where is Sateng Shanmu?" Junzi said : "He should be in the military camp next to him. He is going to Qingdao. His luggage has been packed."

Yang Shaochuan came to the garage at the back. A black car had already been filled with gas, and several Japanese samurai stood beside it.Yang Shaochuan asked the driver, "Are you going to Qingdao?" He took out a cigarette to the driver, and the driver took the cigarette, and Yang Shaochuan said, "Help me go shopping in Qingdao." The driver shook his head and said, "Maybe not, President Sato Go to the airport, not into the city." Yang Shaochuan asked: "When are you going to leave?" The driver said: "Wait for President Sato's order, go to the barracks to grab something, and set off immediately." Yang Shaochuan said: "What are you pulling, so nervous?" The driver said : "It must be gold. It was pulled from the gold mine last night. I dare not put it in the company and store it in the barracks."

While they were talking, a Japanese samurai came out and said: "President Sato has an order to drive the car to the barracks, where he is going through the formalities." The Japanese driver greeted Yang Shaochuan and drove off. Several Japanese samurai run after. The black car left the Kinugawa Company and came to the barracks. They approached the gate of the headquarters. Sato Yamaki led a squad of soldiers standing at the entrance of the headquarters. Sato Yamaki waved his hand, and the soldiers carried four The box came to the side of the car, and the Japanese samurai opened the door and put the box on the car.

Sato Yamaki opened the car door and checked it carefully, then turned around and came to a Japanese officer, took the handover slip, signed it, and said, "Thank you." An open car drove over, and ten soldiers and several samurai climbed up. The Japanese soldiers mounted light machine guns on the roof of the cockpit. Sato Yamaki came over to take a look, returned to the car, and ordered: "Let's go." The black The car drove out of the barracks with the military card army.According to Sato Yamaki's plan, his route is to pass through the county seat and head southwest to Qingdao Airport. As long as he arrives at the airport before dark, the gold can be transported back to Japan before midnight. This is also his careful planning over the past few years. Make a perfect explanation.

They drove in the direction of the county seat, less than two kilometers away, when they heard violent gunshots from the direction of the county seat. Sato Yamaki was greatly surprised. The Communist guerrillas had already arrived in the mountains, so who else would make trouble here? However, it cannot be ignored.He ordered the car to stop and hurriedly sent someone to investigate. Sato Yamaki waited anxiously in the car, when a Japanese samurai knocked on the car door and said, "President, Lark wants to see you." Sato Yamaki hummed in surprise and said, "Why is she here? "The samurai said: "She said that she has something important to report to you." Sato Yamaki nodded.After a while, a woman in black got into the car, panting heavily, and said anxiously to Sateng Shanmu: "President, I have a piece of information about Liu Muzhi and Ma Yunlong."

Sato Yamaki asked suspiciously: "What new information do they have?" Lark said: "This morning, Ma Yunlong came to Liu's compound to meet Liu Muzhi." Sateng Shanmu asked suspiciously: "Could they talk about the dragon vein map?" Lark said: "I occasionally heard Liu Mudong complained, saying that even if the members of the Liu family were dead, they could not reveal the secrets of the Dragon Vein Map to Ma Yunlong, and I guess the content of their meeting was about the Dragon Vein Map.” Sato Yamaki heard this, patted the car hard, and cursed: "Ba Geya Road. This Ma Yunlong does one thing in front of his face, but one behind his back." Sato Yamaki thought for a while and said, "I have something very important. , go to deal with it first, and then deal with Ma Yunlong's affairs in the future, let's stop here first."

The lark got out of the car and disappeared into the distance.At this time, several Japanese samurai and a group of Japanese soldiers sent out ran over. These Japanese soldiers were assisting Ma Yunlong's patrol battalion to guard the county.A Japanese samurai came over and lay down in front of Sato Yamaki's car window and said: "President, it's not good, the west gate of the county town is attacked by Chinese troops, about two companies of troops." Sato Yamaki asked in surprise: "Chinese troops? What kind of troops? There are no troops here except the Communist guerrillas. Besides, the Communist guerrillas dare not come here to attack the city even if they have the courage. "

The Japanese samurai said: "It's not the Communist Party, it's the Kuomintang." Sato Yamaki was taken aback and asked, "Isn't there a patrol battalion? Can't they resist for a while?" , ran home." Sato Yamaki scolded bitterly: "So, where is Ma Yunlong?" Only then did Sato Yamaki recall the Lark’s information, and he flew into a rage, “Ma Yunlong, you bandit, at the critical moment, you ruined my business.” The Japanese samurai persuaded Sato Yamaki: “President, we can’t do anything about the road ahead. gone." Sateng Shanmu beat his forehead with his hands. It seems that this matter is difficult to handle. If the Kuomintang troops appear on the route from Zhaoyuan to Qingdao, then the danger will be too great, and Qingdao can no longer go, but if they go In the case of Longkou Port, we must send someone to send the gold there. The ships there cannot be dispatched back to Japan at the right time. We need to wait. It is best to go to Qingdao. However, if the Kuomintang troops occupy Zhaoyuan City, the situation will be very critical. .

Sato Yamaki finally made up his mind to return.So, the two cars turned around and ran towards Kinugawa Company.About ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Kinugawa Company. Sato Yamaki ran out of the car, went into the house, grabbed the phone and called the combat duty room of the Japanese military camp: "Please contact Sakai Sakai as soon as possible, Zhaoyuan City is under attack by the Kuomintang army. Ma Yunlong's patrol battalion fled." Sato Yamaki was so angry that he walked around the room in circles, walking very irritable, like a black bear shot by a hunter.At this time, Junzi and Yang Shaochuan came in.Sato Yamaki looked at Yang Shaochuan in astonishment, and asked, "Shaochuan, haven't you been hijacked by the Communist guerrillas?" Yang Shaochuan said calmly: "When the guerrillas attacked, I jumped out of the car and hid. They took the car and some of my mine samples." Sato Yamaki nodded, and did not analyze Yang Shaochuan's words too much. He was having a headache on how to deal with the gold on the car. At this time, the combat duty room of the barracks called: "Sateng Shanmu, Sakai Commander has an order. The Chinese army is attacking Zhaoyuan County. There may be a war near the barracks. Please send the gold to Linglong Gold Mine." Sato Yamaki thought for a while and said, "Okay." Sato Yamaki hung up the phone, it seems that the plan to go to Qingdao needs to be canceled temporarily.At this time, Junko said: "Mr. Sato, Zhang Tieqiao is missing." Sato Yamaki cursed furiously: "How did you guard?" I saw that the map was missing, and the theodolite was also missing. Sato Yamaki yelled: "Impossible, he can't take these things away by himself. Who took him away?" Sato Yamaki yelled wildly.Yang Shaochuan said in a calm tone: "Mr. Zuoteng, the only person who has the time and ability to snatch Zhang Tieqiao away is Ma Yunlong." Zuo Teng Shanmu gritted his teeth and said, "I finally understand that Liu Muzhi must have told Ma Yunlong the secret of the dragon vein map, and Ma Yunlong took Zhang Tieqiao and our geological map and theodolite while we were fighting with Liu Muzhi. They must be trying to find the starting point of the dragon vein." Sateng Shanmu asked Yang Shaochuan: "Can they find it?" Yang Shaochuan said: "They took the theodolite away, as long as they measure it, it is not difficult to find it." The so-called golden key stolen from the Liu family is actually the coordinates of the dragon's head. Do you think Ma Yunlong will know this secret?" Yang Shaochuan said: "Zhang Tieqiao may be able to guess." Zuo Teng Shanmu thought for a while and said: "We can't wait any longer, we must go now, let Sakai send troops to level Wolongju, and Ma Yunlong must be eradicated to avoid future troubles. " Yang Shaochuan said, "Didn't Mr. Sakai ask you to send the gold to the Linglong Gold Mine?" Sateng Shanmu said: "There is not much time left, we can't let Ma Yunlong get the dragon vein map, besides, go to Linglongbei and go to Jinsnake Valley by the way, there is our army there, don't worry at all, the most important thing is, we need to be there Satoshi exposed Ma Yunlong in front of him, so Sato can no longer trust this bandit, this bandit has no morals at all.” Sato Yamaki’s jealousy finally defeated his reason, he could not just watch Ma Yunlong snatch the victory from him Fruit, besides, everything was under his control originally, and it was this Ma Yunlong who secretly sabotaged his wishful thinking and poached his wall. "Everyone follow me and bring your weapons." Sato Yamaki yelled loudly, and other Japanese samurai took their guns and knives, ran to the door, climbed into the big truck, Sato Yamaki got into the car, and quickly headed for the mountains. Ma Yunlong's men and horses quickly withdrew from Wolongju and climbed to the small hill. The donkey ran over to ask, "Commander, did you find the gold?" Did you see where he went?" Donkey said: "I saw him waving his hands and running towards the Golden Summit, did someone catch him?" Ma Yunlong said helplessly: "Forget it. , I guess he will go crazy again this time, let’s see how far the Japanese have fought against the Communist Party.” Just as they were talking, a large Japanese truck drove over and stopped in front of Wolongju's gate. Some men jumped out of the truck and carried ore from the truck.Immediately afterwards, Wang Yingchun, Liu Muzhi, Wu Dongmei, and Liu Mudong ran out from the mountain with a group of people and ordered them to move the ore into the courtyard of Wolongju. Just after moving for a while, the car brought by Meng De also arrived. He jumped out of the car and shouted: "Commissioner Wang, the devil has already caught up, hurry up." Just as he was speaking, a shell fell beside him , with a bang.Wang Yingchun said: "Lao Meng, the two of us organized a team to intercept the enemy and let them go and hide as soon as possible." Liu Muzhi led the people into the courtyard quickly, saw that the martial arts platform had been demolished, went over to have a look, and found nothing abnormal, at this time a guard came out from the basement and told that Ma Yunlong did it.Wu Dongmei and Liu Mudong ran in and asked in surprise, "Is this the secret?" Liu Muzhi said, "Forget it, move the ore quickly." Liu Muzhi led everyone into the firewood house, opened the entrance of the tunnel, and people quickly got in, running back and forth to move the ore in. Wang Yingchun drew out his pistol and shouted to the guerrillas: "Brothers, follow me." Meng De led more than 50 guerrillas and followed him to the road ahead, and they took advantage of the terrain to quickly hide.The motorcycle quick response team led by Shandao has already chased them.All the guerrillas were ready, Meng De waved his hand and shouted, "Hit me!" There was a burst of gunshots, and the motorcycles of the Japanese army stopped, and two motorcycles swayed and crashed into the trees on the side of the road.Then another row of grenades was thrown down, bang bang bang, blowing up the vanguard of the Japanese devils.The Japanese soldiers who were attacked immediately jumped off their motorcycles and used the terrain to organize a counterattack.After all, these Japanese soldiers are all well-trained regular troops. They observed the terrain in the shortest time, and dozens of rifles fired at the mountains at the same time.An officer hugged the radio, hid behind a rock and reported to Shandao: "We have caught up with the guerrillas and exchanged fire." Four hundred meters away, Shandao ordered: "Hold them and report their position." Shandao put down the radio, sat on the motorcycle and ordered: "Mortar ready." Ten Japanese soldiers jumped off the motorcycle. , Set up five mortars, and an officer shouted: "Get ready, let go!" There was only a whizzing sound, and the smoke from the bombing on the mountain was billowing, and gravel was flying around.However, the vanguard of the Japanese detachment has fully recovered its combat effectiveness. Three or four soldiers found the grenades, set them up at the same time, hid in the ditch and fired at the positions of the guerrillas. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen A small artillery shell hit the guerrilla position. Although it was not accurate, it was also blown up in dust. In the round of bombardment just now, many guerrillas got down on the ground. What is surprising is that the Japanese soldiers did not take advantage of the suppressed firepower of the mortars to launch an attack, but still took advantage of the concealment of the terrain to shoot at the guerrillas sporadically.Meng De poked his head out of the dust and carefully observed the enemy's position. It was obvious that the enemy was not in a hurry to destroy the opponent, but was prepared for a long-term fight. Shandao received another battle report from the forward team, asking for reinforcements.Yamashima ordered the light machine gun team to approach each other.Then, he led the team slowly approaching. The light machine gun team of the Japanese squad quickly selected the terrain, and the five light machine guns were loaded with bullets, waiting for the order to shoot.The Japanese soldier in charge looked at it with binoculars for a while, and shouted: "Fight!" In an instant, dense bullets splashed on the guerrilla position, and the surrounding branches and shrubs fell down as if blown by a strong wind. Bounced, retracted and struggled.Meng De bent down and climbed up to Wang Yingchun, saying, "Commander Wang, the enemy's firepower is much stronger than ours, so we can't fight so hard." Wang Yingchun said: "Hurry up to count the number of people and see what's going on with Liu Muzhi. Let's hurry up and evacuate." Meng De immediately sent a person to see the situation in Wolongju, and ordered everyone to shoot at the Japanese army again to suppress the enemy's advance.The vanguard squad of Japanese soldiers knew that the guerrillas were brave in close-range combat, so they did not dare to charge rashly. They only let grenadiers drop bombs from a distance. It can be thrown into the guerrilla's position, but it can't cause lethality. On the contrary, the light machine gun team of the Japanese soldiers is very troublesome. Shooting over, the Japanese have too many bullets to run out. The correspondent came to report that Liu Muzhi and others had already transferred. Wang Yingchun nodded to Meng De and said, "Old Meng, I will withdraw first, and you will finish later." They both nodded and shouted at the same time: "Call me!" Meng De I snatched a rifle from a comrade-in-arms and aimed at the commander of the Japanese light machine gun position. It was more than two hundred meters away. It was difficult to aim at the commander with an ordinary rifle, so I could only guess and shoot.The commander occasionally leaned out his upper body for a while, but he quickly retracted.Meng De's sight pinched the guy's upper body. He was looking at this side with a telescope. There was a bang, and he was shot. The guy lay on the ground, not daring to get up. Meng De couldn't judge whether he had hit, and wanted to probe to see, but the rain of bullets came back in retaliation, proving that the guy was not dead.Meng De hid in the trench and complained to his comrades: "Your gun can't be calibrated properly, and you can't hit the devils at all." The comrades replied: "Captain, you can change me to a 38 cap, so that you can hit every shot." Meng De rushed to the side and shouted: "You shoot at the enemy's machine guns at the same time, suppressing the firepower, I can't lift my head up." So several comrades around me fired at the enemy's light machine gun positions at the same time, the enemy temporarily lay down to hide the bullets, Meng De shouted loudly "Comrades, fight another round, and cover the political commissar and retreat." There was a series of gunshots, Wang Yingchun waved his hand, and first ran towards the Golden Snake Valley with the wounded and some soldiers.Mengde fired a few more shots. Seeing the Japanese soldiers lying there, he laughed loudly and said, "I'm not in the mood to play hide and seek with you. You can play on your own. Brothers, retreat quickly." He saw A comrade-in-arms had a three-eighth cap in his hand and said, "I'll use your gun." Holding the big 38-cap, Meng De calmed down and aimed at an enemy's upper body, only to hear a bang, and hit, the devil turned over and struggled, and then the enemy's bullet hit him.Meng De lay on the ground and climbed a few meters, and then several grenades from grenadiers flew over.Meng De dodged from left to right and ran out, catching up with his comrades in front, and retreated to Golden Snake Valley together.
