"And that batch of supplies? We never gave up searching, and luckily, we finally found it. It contained a large number of guns and explosives. The military has sent people to assist them, and they've captured quite a few enemy personnel. We need to hurry and interrogate them to see if we can find our comrade. We need to take a helicopter there tonight. What else do you need to prepare?"
Liu Feng and Liu Pei said, "Old leader, we don't have anything to prepare. We can set off at any time."
Zeng Qiang looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner. Let's ask them to get some dry food for us to take with us."
…
A cave in the primeval forest.
He Han was sitting in front of the slightly old radio. He stared intently at the machine in front of him with the light flashing continuously, his ears pressed tightly against the earphones, as if he was afraid of missing any subtle sound.
At that moment, he was concentrating on sending and receiving telegrams. His right hand tightly gripped a pencil, and as the radio beeped, he quickly and accurately wrote down the mysterious codes and numbers on the paper. His left hand constantly adjusted the dial of the radio to ensure a clear and stable reception.
Every time new information came from the radio, his fingers danced flexibly, and the words under his pen were like jumping notes, neatly arranged in lines on the paper.
At this moment, the sky was filled with the deafening roar of airplanes. On the ground, Zhao Lihan and his comrades were busy on the side of the cave.
With deft, swift movements, they ignited three blazing fires. The brilliant light shot up into the sky, piercing the darkness. These fires, meticulously arranged in specific shapes and positions, became crucial landmarks guiding the airdropped soldiers to a safe landing.
At this moment, the roar of the plane above my head was deafening, as if it was about to break through the sky.
Zhao Lihan and his comrades were tense, their hearts twitching at the tremendous noise. Their eyes were fixed on the vast sky, not daring to slack off for even a moment.
Not long after, tiny black dots suddenly appeared in the sky, like twinkling stars in the night sky. As time passed, these tiny black dots gradually became larger and clearer. They turned out to be parachutes slowly floating down to the ground.
Groups of fully armed warriors, backpacks on their backs, weapons in hand, filed down from the high sky. Their postures were nimble and their movements were agile, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, quickly and orderly descending towards their targets below.
In the blink of an eye, these brave and fearless warriors landed on the ground and sprang into action with lightning speed. With tacit coordination, they quickly surrounded the entire cave, forming an impenetrable defense line.
Then another helicopter landed in an open area not far from the cave, and several people got off it.
These people were Zeng Cheng, Liu Pei, Liu Feng and others sent by the Ministry of State Security.
Zhao Lihan was standing in front of the campfire, explaining to the soldiers the route inside the cave and precautions.
The bright light from the fire shone right on his face, and Zeng Qiang and the others saw Zhao Lihan at a glance. Zhao Lihan was unaware of their arrival. Zeng Cheng and his group did not bother him, but followed Tian Fugui, who had come to meet them, to their temporary command post.
When Zeng Qiang saw Zhao Lihan, he was excited. He didn't expect that his son-in-law was also a member of this special operation. Especially when he heard the squad leader's report that this cave was discovered by Zhao Lihan and that one person could subdue these twenty or so Japanese devils, he admired his son-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Lihan had just finished receiving the soldiers and returned to the temporary command post when he saw several familiar faces.
He hugged Liu Feng and Liu Pei, came to Zeng Qiang, saluted, but didn't have time to speak.
Zeng Qiang returned the greeting without even having time to exchange pleasantries. He said, "Take us to see that Yamada!"
Zhao Lihan said, "Yes." Then he led them to the entrance of the cave and saw Jiang Daya boiling water in front of a makeshift stove.
Zeng Qiang asked, "Why is there a villager here, and a girl? What's going on?"
Zhao Lihan explained all this to everyone in a relaxed tone. He described Daya's origins in detail.
Without Daya's help, I'm afraid this operation wouldn't have been so smooth. So, Daya's contribution is really indispensable!
Zeng Qiang, after listening to Zhao Lihan's story, sighed and said, "This girl has suffered a lot. After this mission is completed, notify the local government and properly place her."
Zhao Lihan said, "I've already contacted the comrades in their county's armed forces department, and they've agreed."
Zeng Qiang listened to Zhao Lihan's report and nodded with satisfaction. After a while, they came to the cave where the prisoners were held and brought Yamada out for interrogation.
…
It is said that a few people who smuggled themselves from abroad accidentally entered that mysterious area in search of treasure and never came out again.
As soon as they entered this area, all they saw was a thick white fog that seemed to envelop the entire world. And within this suffocating fog, animals of unknown origin would often appear.
These animals moved cryptically, sometimes making eerie calls and sometimes suddenly jumping out to attack them. The stowaways were frightened and fled in all directions, but they could not escape the entanglement and harassment of these unknown animals.
Even more terrifying is the presence of mysterious ghosts that can be seen but not touched. These ghosts are erratic, appearing and disappearing, and whenever they appear, they are accompanied by bursts of shrill cries and strange laughter.
The minds of the stowaways had long been filled with fear. They were all scared out of their wits. Some fainted on the spot, while others ran around and screamed like crazy.
In the end, in this thrilling treasure hunt, some people unfortunately died and became victims of this mysterious area; others became mentally ill due to excessive fright and completely lost their minds.
Only one person who was still mentally sound accidentally fell to the ground while desperately running, resulting in a serious leg injury and unable to move forward. At this time, the dry food they carried had been completely consumed, and hunger and despair tormented this survivor.
Faced with such a desperate situation, the survivor felt he had no way out. In extreme pain and helplessness, he raised his gun with trembling hands, pointed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger... With a crisp gunshot, he ended his life.
