    "What? You discovered a secret, hidden and excellent railway branch line?" After hearing Dong Ping's report, Yang Zhen's brows furrowed deeply, but there was a hint of excitement in his expression.

    Yang Zhen knew in later generations that during the fourteen years that the Kwantung Army occupied the Northeast, in order to firmly control their so-called lifeline and prepare for the war against the Soviet Union, they built a large number of secret warehouses and fortifications throughout the Northeast.  Especially in Northern Manchuria, which was the main battlefield of the war against the Soviet Union, a large number of extremely hidden fortifications and warehouses were built.

    How many warehouses and fortifications are there, and where are their specific locations, because all the workers were killed after the project was completed, and the files were destroyed when the war was defeated.  Except for a few large-scale fortresses that even fought against the Soviet army, especially the secret warehouses, even decades later, there was no clear investigation.

    When the world-shaking fire occurred in the Daxinganling Mountains in later generations, many people speculated that the fire was caused by the explosion of the secret arsenal built by the Kwantung Army in the Daxinganling Mountains.

    Yang Zhen didn't know whether the fire in Daxinganling was caused by the explosion of the Kwantung Army warehouse, but he knew that even in the 21st century when he traveled back in time, there were still secret warehouses built by the Kwantung Army in the Northeast that had not been discovered.  He was sure of one thing.

    When he heard that Dong Ping had discovered a secret, well-hidden railway branch line that was not marked on the map, Yang Zhen's first thought was that it looked like the end of a small railway branch line specially used to transport wood.  It is probably a secret fortification of the Japanese army.  As for whether it is a Soviet combat fortification or a warehouse, you need to conduct follow-up reconnaissance yourself.

    Dong Ping nodded firmly and said: "I'm sure that is a secret railway line. Where exactly this railway line leads, no one in the local people knows. They only know that when the railway was being built, the laborers who were escorted into the mountains were  No one came out alive."

    "I once led a reconnaissance team to find out where this railway leads, but unfortunately, I didn't go far into the mountains when I encountered a Japanese patrol and a large amount of barbed wire. I also discovered a minefield. In addition,  After we entered the mountain, we also found a large number of bones in the mountains on both sides of the railway branch line."

    "Because we were afraid of exposing our target, we didn't dare to go deeper, so we rushed back to report. But one thing, I'm sure, is that there is no indication of this railway branch on the Japanese map we captured. It is also hidden, and there are no civilians along it.  .¡±

    Yang Zhen pondered for a moment, turned around and said to Xiao Huzi beside him: "Go and find Li Mingrui, as well as the political commissar, chief of staff and several regiment leaders. We have a meeting."

    Hearing Yang Zhen¡¯s order, Xiao Huzi did not dare to delay, and quickly found the few people Yang Zhen was looking for.

    Seeing Li Yanping and others coming over, Yang Zhen pointed to the map and recounted what Dong Ping had just reported, and then said: "According to Dong Ping's discovery, the end of this railway branch is likely to be a secret warehouse of the Japanese army."

    "In order to prepare for the so-called war against the Soviet Union, the little devils not only built a large number of fortifications and fortresses on the border, but also built a large number of secret warehouses near the rear lines of communication to store a large amount of weapons, ammunition and various supplies."

    "You see, this is the Qingheishan line where we are now. This is the Qunce Mountain area where Dong Ping discovered the secret railway branch line. The straight-line distance is not far. I want to take Li Mingrui's reconnaissance team and Guangyu's group to attack.  Let¡¯s see what kind of ghosts there are.¡±

    The commander-in-chief, who had never given Yang Zhen a good look because of the killing of prisoners at Jingpo Lake, was the first to object: "You want to feel what is going on there, I agree. But you have to lead the team yourself, I object."

    "You are now the senior commander of the unit, and you are responsible for the entire unit. I suggest that Guangyu should be in charge of this attack. You stay and continue to reorganize the unit."

    Regarding the commander-in-chief's objection, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "Commander-in-Chief's attack is not a regular operation. We can only act like a sneak attack on the Jingbo Lake hydropower construction site. There are railways there connected to the outside world. Once our combat intention is exposed, the Japanese army will  Quickly mobilize heavy reinforcements from Jiamusi."

    "In this battle, we must try not to shoot as much as possible. So I won't go, because others don't have this ability. Although Li Mingrui and the others performed well in Jingbo Lake, that battle also revealed a lot of problems. The main thing is experience.  It¡¯s still lacking.¡±

    "In the battle at Jingbo Lake Hydropower Station, even if our actions are exposed, we can use a force attack to solve the problem. But it is different there. We can only use a surprise attack to penetrate as much as possible. What we want is the materials inside, not for  Simply destroy the enemy.¡±

    "And how many Japanese troops are there, what their equipment is, what the terrain is like, and who of usdo not know either.  If you attack rashly, you will suffer huge losses.  "

    "If that is really a Japanese warehouse, and this battle is over, we can not only solve the problem of lack of equipment, but also maybe solve the problem of single military uniforms. To be cautious, I must go there in person."

    Yang Zhen insisted on his opinion. Several people could not persuade the commander-in-chief, so they did not open their mouths.  However, although Guo Bingxun did not object to Yang Zhen personally leading the attack, he insisted that Yang Zhen not be allowed to personally enter the base for reconnaissance, which the Japanese did not know what it was used for.

    Although he knew that with all the people in the army together, only Yang Zhen had the ability to get in without alerting the defending Japanese troops.

    In the Battle of Jingpo Lake, the troops only paid a slight, almost negligible cost of casualties and eliminated the Japanese guard squadron and a regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army on guard. It was Yang Zhen who led Li Mingrui's reconnaissance team to penetrate the Japanese and puppet troops first.  They confiscated all the weapons in the military barracks, and first controlled the Japanese troops with stronger combat effectiveness, and then they were able to take over the heavily guarded Jingbo Lake Hydropower Station construction site without any blood.  Not only were a large number of weapons and equipment seized, but a large amount of supplies were also obtained.  The urgent need of the troops was solved.

    But this time is different from the battle at Jingbo Lake. There is no information on how many troops and equipment the Japanese army has in this secret base.  Especially when I heard the commander-in-chief mention that Tangyuan was the main activity area of ??the main force of the Anti-Alliance Third Route Army, and that the North Manchuria Provincial Committee had been hiding in Tangyuan for a long time.

    The commander-in-chief had never heard anyone from the Third Route Army mention that there was a secret Japanese base here.  From this point, you can see that this place is unusual.  Therefore, although Guo Bingxun agreed with Yang Zhen to personally lead the attack, he firmly opposed Yang Zhen's personal involvement in reconnaissance like the battle at Jingbo Lake.  He repeatedly told Wang Guangyu and Li Mingrui, who led the team to participate in the battle, to keep an eye on him.

    Making up his mind, Yang Zhen led the team to set off that night without any delay.  Under the leadership of Dong Ping, after a night of rapid march, he arrived at the place where he discovered the secret railway early the next morning.

    After arriving at the location, Yang Zhen left Wang Guangyu to command the main force and prepare for response and battle.  He personally led Li Mingrui, Dong Ping and three reconnaissance teams to explore the mountains along the railway line.

    Regarding the fact that Yang Zhen personally led the team to conduct reconnaissance, Wang Guangyu, who had been repeatedly warned by the commander-in-chief and Guo Bingxun before leaving, initially disagreed.  But Yang Zhen, who didn't have much time to chat with him, still convinced him.

    Sure enough, Yang Zhen didn¡¯t have to go far into the mountains. About twenty miles away, he encountered the barbed wire fence and minefields described by Dong Ping.  There are minefields here, which shows that the Japanese army, which advocates offensive, attaches great importance to this place.  As for where this place is, Yang Zhen is not sure yet.

    After confirming that this place would be an extremely important place, Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to get in. Instead, he found a secret place outside the barbed wire fence and raised his telescope to observe carefully.  He tried to find clues that could reveal the true situation here.

    Because the mountainous terrain blocked his view, Yang Zhen stayed in the bushes less than 20 meters away from the barbed wire fence, observing quietly for a whole day. In addition to determining the patrol interval of the Japanese patrol team and the number of people stationed outside, there was no other information.  Find out what valuable clues are.

    After a day of fruitless observation, Yang Zhen decided to take advantage of the darkness to get in.  Look closely.  Yang Zhen, who had made up his mind, did not bring more people with him. He only took Li Mingrui and quickly opened a passage in the minefield and entered it.

    Seeing Yang Zhen easily and effortlessly opening a passage in the minefield with a piece of iron wire, Li Mingrui, who had seen his minelaying methods, secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart: "As the commander-in-chief, I not only have many minelaying methods, but also many minelaying methods.  The demining methods are also terrifying. In just half an hour, a passage was opened in a twenty-meter-wide minefield."

    Yang Zhen didn't know what Li Mingrui was thinking. After estimating the arrival time of the Japanese patrol, Yang Zhen took out a pair of small pliers and gently cut off the barbed wire in an area that was not too noticeable.  A gap was made large enough for a man to crawl through.

    After the two of them passed through the barbed wire fence, Yang Zhen carefully restored the barbed wire fence to its original state, and then he and Li Mingrui quickly passed through the path patrolled by the Japanese army and entered the heavily guarded Japanese base.

    After entering the Japanese base, Yang Zhen did not rush into action. Instead, after confirming his position, he quietly found a secret place to hide.  The night was too dark, and Yang Zhen was afraid that his observation would be affected and he might miss something, so he decided to wait here all day.  Wait until daybreak and take a closer look.

    After getting a clear view of the real situation here after dawn, even Yang Zhen, who had always been calm, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

    This should be a large military base for the Japanese armyMo's secret warehouse, just from some clues on the surface, it can be judged that the mountain under him has probably been hollowed out.  And a well-camouflaged ventilation hole was less than thirty meters away from Yang Zhen.

    When Yang Zhen carefully climbed to the front of the vent, pushed aside the weeds used to hide it, and looked down, he discovered that underneath the vent was a tunnel paved with rails that was large enough for two trucks to pass in parallel.  As for where this tunnel leads, Yang Zhen has no way of knowing due to the limited sight distance.

    As for why it is inferred that this is a warehouse and not a fortification like a fortress, it is very simple.  Although Tangyuan is not far from the Sino-Soviet border, it is still some distance away.  And from the perspective of transportation, even if a war breaks out between Japan and the Soviet Union, this will not be the main battlefield.  It would be better to build fortifications here than in Fujin in the north, which would be more threatening to the Soviet Union.

    The strength of the Japanese troops here is not like that of a fortress or military fortification. There are two rows of bungalows at the foot of the mountain. According to Yang Zhen's estimation, at most five or six hundred people can be stationed here, which cannot be accommodated at all.  Unless all these Japanese troops are stationed in caves.  And after careful observation, except for a large number of vents, Yang Zhen did not find any hidden shooting holes that could be used for combat.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and the strength of only two squadrons of Japanese troops that went out in the early morning also proves that this place should not be a fortress.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to conduct large-scale operations by only stationing such a few troops, which can at best be called garrison forces.

    Yang Zhen looked very carefully. He was not only carefully observing the true appearance of the Japanese army here, but also carefully observing the fortifications of the Japanese garrison.  Although the Japanese defense fortifications were built to be extremely concealed and the settings were extremely tricky, under the observation of Yang Zhen, who had seen many such hidden fortifications in later generations, they were still exposed.

    Whenever he found a place, Yang Zhen marked it on the topographic map he drew.  Only after observing it three or five times and confirming that it was correct did Yang Zhen stop and rest.  Of course, this kind of rest is just to close your eyes for a while. Let alone walking or eating, you would never even dare to sit up.

    Although there are not many Japs at the foot of the mountain, there are enough troops for two squadrons.  His current position is on top of the head of the Japanese warehouse, at the core of the entire camp.

    Once exposed, relying on the two Browning pistols he carried with only a dozen bullets in total, and the two speed machines Li Mingrui carried, and not even a rifle, in the face of the superior Japanese army, he had no choice but to fight to the death.  There is almost no possibility of a breakout outside of a single fight.  In other words, if two people are exposed, it will not be a narrow escape, but ten deaths and no life.

    Yang Zhen was extremely cautious in every move he made, for fear of attracting the attention of the Japanese patrol carrying military dogs who passed by in more than ten minutes.  Next to him, Li Mingrui's hand holding the gun was sweating nervously, and his heart was almost in his throat.

    The reason why Li Mingrui, who has been a snitch for many years and has seen strong winds and waves, is always on tenterhooks and nervous is not the Japanese soldiers patrolling right under his nose, but Yang Zhen who is lying next to him.

    Li Mingrui is not afraid of the Japanese army, let alone nervous.  What he was more worried about was that once exposed, it would threaten Yang Zhen's safety.  Li Mingrui knew that once exposed, it would be difficult for the two of them to escape.

    It¡¯s okay for me, but if something happens to Yang Zhen, the newly formed army may be destroyed.  Let alone the commander-in-chief and political commissar, they cannot spare themselves, nor can they spare themselves.  Out of concern for Yang Zhen's safety, Li Mingrui had never looked forward to getting dark when the sun had just risen like today.

    Fortunately, both of them were masters of action. After enduring the danger until dark, they safely evacuated the secret warehouse of the Japanese army. With the support of Dong Ping from the periphery, they returned to Wang Guangyu's place.

    Seeing Yang Zhen return safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.  Just waiting for Yang Zhen to eat something and regain his strength, these people's hearts were lifted again.

    Regarding Yang Zhen's idea of ??returning to the Japanese base with the reconnaissance team to open an attack channel for the main force, Wang Guangyu firmly opposed: "Commander, you have figured out the Japanese army's defense deployment and general fortifications. I think the remaining  Mingrui and Dong Ping can completely handle the next thing, you should be responsible for commanding the overall situation."

    "You don't know, during the two days and one night you left, the commander-in-chief, the political commissar and the chief of staff called me again and again, asking me to stop you. My heart was always in my throat, especially after receiving  After you personally entered the Japanese base to conduct reconnaissance, I was almost worried to death. If you don't come back, I will lead an attack."
