After more than an hour of slow crawling, the truck finally finished climbing up the slope of Songshan Mountain and arrived at the Yaokou Checkpoint, which was also one of the main positions of the Songshan Battle and a must-pass point for the Burma Highway.
The Japanese troops guarding the checkpoint saw two vehicles coming from the direction of Longling from a distance, and they were already waiting there under tight security.
Under the illumination of the car lights, Dong Limao initially judged that the Japanese army deployed at this checkpoint was no less than a squadron. There were no puppet troops, and they were all Japanese troops.
"Military Doctor Zeng, don't panic. Whether you can handle it or not is up to you. Now listen to me and put on the mask. The car won't turn off until I get out of the car. After you get off the car, take off the mask. If the Japanese army needs to check the compartment. Give me a signal about what's inside." After Dong Limao finished speaking, he put on the mask.
Zeng Zifan¡¯s heart was pounding. He also saw that this level was not as easy to deal with as Longling City Gate. After putting on the mask, he whispered: "Don't worry, company commander, I know what to do."
In the truck driven by Qin Haoran behind, everyone put on their masks, and Khan always held the 38-meter cap in his arms. After putting on the mask, his vision was a little blurred, and he was very uncomfortable.
When Dong Limao¡¯s truck was still dozens of meters away from the checkpoint, he slowed down in order to prevent the Japanese troops guarding the checkpoint from seeing any flaws.
There was an officer with a saber on his waist, white gloves on his hands, and his feet spread apart. He stood in the middle of the road. When Dong Limao's truck was about to reach him, the officer stretched his hand forward to signal to stop.
Dong Limao stopped the car steadily and glanced out the windows on both sides. On both sides of the checkpoint, there were machine guns and several incandescent lamps, illuminating the checkpoint like daylight. Dong Limao thought to himself: "There is still electricity in such a high mountain. It seems that the fortifications built by the little devils in Songshan are permanent." ¡¯
Qin Haoran also saw this situation. He was very shocked. Under the illumination of incandescent lamps, the fortresses at the pass were scattered on both sides of the public road. They were all made of circular reinforced concrete. Each fortress The shooting holes in the fortress all shone brightly, indicating that the Japanese troops lived inside day and night. He even heard the Japanese soldiers talking and playing in the fortress, and there were a few voices of women singing Japanese songs. Qin Haoran thought to himself: ¡®Is there still a Japanese military comfort station here? ¡¯.
When the truck stopped, Zeng Zifan opened the door, jumped out, took off his mask, and walked towards the Japanese officer in front of the truck. As he walked, he said in Japanese: "This is a vehicle for transporting special weapons from the base. The headquarters ordered us to , the weapons must be sent to the forward positions by the river before dawn."
The Japanese officer said with a straight face: "I don't care whose order it is. If you want to pass through the pass, you must undergo inspection and let your people get out of the car. I am also following the order of the headquarters!" After that, he faced back. Dozens of Japanese soldiers armed with live ammunition waved their hands, and the soldiers behind him divided into left and right groups and surrounded the two trucks.
Zeng Zifan then turned sideways and waved to Dong Limao.
Dong Limao knew that Zeng Zifan wanted him to get out of the car, so he opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked toward the rear door. At the same time, he waved to the car driven by Qin Haoran behind him and asked them to get out of the car too.
Qin Haoran saw Dong Limao waving to get out of the car, so he jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the rear door, and opened the door. The soldiers of the reconnaissance team inside, all wearing masks and chemical protective suits, jumped out one by one in an orderly manner. Get off the car and stand neatly in two rows.
After Qin Haoran got off the car, Khan also got out of the car, but he did not go to gather. Instead, he held the 38 rifle in both hands and stood at the front of the car, staring at the 38 in the hands of the Japanese soldiers who surrounded the car. The big cover rifle shook the gun in his hand, as if he wanted to compete with others to see whose gun was easier to use.
So the officer who stopped the truck approached Zeng Zifan and said, "Can I borrow your mask?"
Zeng Zifan replied: "Of course." He took off the mask and handed it over.
After putting on the mask, the officer walked to the rear door and said to Dong Limao: "Open the door, I want to go up and check it myself."
Dong Limao didn't understand. He hesitated for a moment. The officer yelled impatiently: "Baga! Open the car door quickly!"
Zeng Zifan came over and yelled loudly in Japanese: "Did you hear what this officer said? Open the car door for inspection!" At the same time, he used hand signals to tell Dong Limao to open the car door.
Dong Limao then opened the rear door pretending to be extremely reluctant and stepped aside.
The masked officer took the flashlight from a soldier behind him, first shined it inside, then climbed into the car, turned back to Dong Limao and said: "Come up here and open the tin box!"
Dong Limao couldn't understand, and Zeng Zifan couldn't speak Chinese. He had an idea and kicked Dong Limao's butt, and cursed: "Deaf or blind! You are a loser! In addition to driving, you can also doWhat! Isn¡¯t it possible that without Major Taibo¡¯s orders, you wouldn¡¯t even eat or poop? "After saying this, he grabbed the key from Dong Limao, put it into Dong Limao's hand, and still shouted in Japanese: "Go up and open the box! "
Dong Limao understood now that Zeng Zifan wanted him to open the iron boxes containing empty plague bombs, so he quickly climbed into the car, his hands trembling, opened one of the boxes, and then quickly stepped aside, like It's like he's afraid of what's inside.
The officer wearing the mask was very dedicated. After opening the box, he carefully shined a flashlight on the empty plague bombs inside. He showed no fear at all. Because he was wearing a mask, his facial expression could not be seen. After confirming that they were plague bombs, he shook other boxes with his flashlight a few times and said, "Open all the boxes."
This time Dong Limao understood. He opened the tin boxes one by one obediently, and then closed the checked boxes again.
After reading the iron boxes one by one, the Japanese officer jumped out of the car and walked towards Qin Haoran and the others behind them.
Dong Limao nodded to Zeng Zifan. Zeng Zifan understood, followed closely behind the officer, and walked in front of Qin Haoran and the others.
¡°Take off all your masks!¡± The officer took off his mask first, handed it to Zeng Zifan, and then said.
Qin Haoran and the others didn¡¯t understand, so they didn¡¯t do anything. Zeng Zifan then used his sign belt and yelled in the Japanese language: ¡°Take off your mask! Look at each of you, do you still look like a soldier of the Japanese Empire?¡±
Qin Haoran and the others understood Zeng Zifan's gesture and slowly began to take off their masks.
Zeng Zifan explained to the officer with a smile: "These people are usually at the base. Major Taibao has repeatedly warned them that they must wear masks as long as they are within fifty meters of special weapons. What's more, they have just returned from the mainland. The new recruits mobilized.¡±
Dong Limao thought to himself: 'No, if this little Japanese officer wants to talk to one of them, he will not reveal his trap. ¡¯ His mind was spinning rapidly, and he actually thought of a way. He deliberately closed the last box tightly.
The officer stared at Qin Haoran for a while, and was about to ask something when suddenly there was a bang from the car in front. All the Japanese soldiers surrounding the truck fell to the ground in fright, and the officer also fell down immediately in shock.
Qin Haoran took the opportunity to wink at the others, put on the mask, and ran towards the truck in front.
Zeng Zifan knew that this was Dong Limao's intention to make the noise to scare the Japanese army. He quickly helped the officer lying on the ground and explained: "It will be okay. The explosion is not like this. It is just the sound of the iron box, which scared you." ¡±
Dong Limao smiled inwardly when he saw Qin Haoran and the others running over.
Another person also laughed, he was Khan. When he saw the Japanese Japs surrounding the truck being frightened by the noise from the truck, they all fell to the ground. Khan laughed happily. He laughed at how cowardly these little Japs were, like A mouse hears a cat meow.
When Zeng Zifan walked by Khan, he shouted in Japanese: "Why don't you go over and see what's going on! What are you laughing at here?" As he said that, he kicked Khan's leg. If it weren't for Khan, Wearing a mask, Zeng Zifan might have raised his hand to slap him.
Khan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zeng Zifan meant.
Zeng Zifan nuzzled at the car in front, and then said: "I'll let you go over and help!"
Only then did Khan understand what Zeng Zifan meant. He put his legs together and almost shouted "yes", but he was smart enough to glance at the Japanese officer next to Zeng Zifan and immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say. He turned around and ran towards the back door of the truck driven by Dong Limao.
Dong Limao jumped out of the car and stood aside with his head bowed, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be beaten and scolded by his parents.
Zeng Zifan walked forward quickly, yelled at Dong Limao in Japanese, and kicked him.
Dong Limao was very cooperative and never fought back when hit or scolded. He kept saying "Hey" and was willing to be punished.
After being beaten and scolded enough, Zeng Zifan put on a mask and pretended to get in the car to check if there was anything wrong. Then he got out of the car and said to the officer: "I'm sorry for scaring you and everyone else. If one explodes, the consequences will be disastrous." .¡±
The officer may have been frightened and waved the Piao Astronomy Network! "
Zeng Zifan stood at attention and said "Hi" and said loudly in Japanese: "Everyone get in the car!" At the same time, he gestured with his hands.
Although Dong Limao and the others could not understand what Zeng Zifan said, they judged from the officer's wave and Zeng Zifan's gesture that they could get in the car and leave.
The fence blocking the highway was removed by Japanese soldiers. Dong Limao started the truck. He did not accelerate immediately, but slowly drove forward.
Passed through Songshan Mountain without any dangerAt the entrance checkpoint, Dong Limao took off his mask, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Zeng Zifan with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, you are really ruthless, no worse than the Japanese devils. Those few kicks you just made hurt my legs." It hurts from the kick."
"I'm sorry, company commander, if I don't make the play more realistic, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass that test." Zeng Zifan said apologetically.
"Your play was perfect, but we can't be careless until we get the real plague bombs." Dong Limao was most worried about how to exchange for those real plague bombs when he got to the river.
¡°As long as the company commander is here, there¡¯s nothing we can¡¯t do.¡± Zeng Zifan said with a smile.
"What I'm worried about is that if the Japanese army in Tengchong City learns that the Heshun Township Experimental Base has been completely destroyed, they will call the Japanese army on the riverside. In that case, we will be in trouble." Dong Limao stared at the road ahead, from Starting from the pass, it went downhill all the way, but the speed was still not much faster because the curve was sharp.
