Spy Wars: I have space, but I choose to work alone

The Japanese army's notorious strategy of "fighting to support the war" began in 39. Since then, the Japanese army has never launched a large-scale frontal offensive with more than 20 people.

Instead, they launched a large-scale "security war" against the occupied areas, attempting to integrate the resources of the occupied areas and feed back to the mainland, thus achieving the goal of supporting the war with war.

The frontal battlefield of the War of Resistance ended and the war began behind enemy lines. The main force of the war shifted from the National Army to the armed forces behind enemy lines led by the underground party.

Ma Liang’s work focus will also shift to the underground party.

Unlike her cautious approach when she came, after completing the task assigned by the top leaders, Li Yinhe did not return directly to the Northwest, but went directly to the North China Baye headquarters.

First, they used the radio to send the agreed code back to the northwest, and then immediately mobilized the most elite and reliable veteran Red Army regiment.

The 100rd Guard Regiment is a strategic reserve force directly under the headquarters. It is equipped with all Japanese weapons and each person is equipped with 6 rounds of ammunition. Machine guns are distributed to the squads, heavy machine guns are assigned to the platoons, and the regiment headquarters also has a mortar company with 82 mortars.

The cadres of the regiment, battalion and company, as well as the company and platoon leaders at the grassroots level, are all veterans who have walked through grasslands and climbed snow-capped mountains.

Among them, the proportion of party members is as high as 70%, and the rest are league members. There is not a single ordinary person.

It serves as the headquarters' royal guard and a strategic reserve force to deal with sudden battlefield situations, a killer weapon.

Don't use it easily, because once it is used, it will be a matter of life and death.

At the headquarters of the Third Guard Regiment, a loud and urgent bugle call sounded.

“Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick!”

"Emergency assembly number? Everyone, bring your full gear and assemble quickly!"

Upon hearing the emergency assembly call, the Third Guard Regiment, which was no longer required to perform headquarters guard duties and had always maintained a full staffing and combat readiness status, responded immediately.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Although the soldiers of the Third Guard Regiment were already running as hard as they could towards the designated assembly point, the company commanders of the various battalions still kept urging them with dark faces:

"Hurry up!"

I wish I could let the soldiers fly.

Just five minutes later, the Third Guard Regiment appeared at the designated assembly point with all their equipment and all members fully armed. They were waiting for the battle order with full morale, and there was a determination to move forward in everyone's eyes.

It must be a tough battle if the Third Guard Regiment is required!

Li Yinhe and a group of people wearing military uniforms but without any military temperament had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at his watch, he realized that it only took five minutes for the Third Guard Regiment to complete the assembly from the time he gave the order to blow the emergency assembly call to the time all members were fully equipped.

Li Yinhe nodded with satisfaction.

After the headquarters leaders announced that the Third Guard Regiment would temporarily accept Li Yinhe's command, Li Yinhe, who was also a soldier and had participated in combat, frowned and shouted:

"Those who are not party members or have been party members for less than three years do not participate in this mission and can return to the barracks!"

But the well-trained soldiers did not hesitate, and those who did not meet the requirements began to automatically step out of the line and walk towards the barracks in the distance.

Soon, under such harsh conditions, the Third Guard Regiment of more than a thousand people was reduced to only more than 600 people, all of whom were veteran Red Army soldiers.

After reorganizing the team, Li Yinhe announced the discipline of this trip:

"You are all veterans of the party. You know the confidentiality regulations. This mission is top secret. You are not allowed to mention it to anyone privately, and you are not allowed to discuss it in private! In a word, forget everything you heard and saw!"

After hearing what their leader said, the soldiers of the Third Guard Regiment, who were originally doubtful, immediately became serious.

After saying that, he led everyone in one direction. After two days of difficult journey, they finally arrived at the deep mountains more than 50 kilometers northwest of Licheng, Shanxi Province under the leadership of Li Yinhe.

"What are you doing in this godforsaken place?"

"Why is it so mysterious?"

As the Third Guard Regiment traveled through the uninhabited mountains, almost everyone was thinking about this question.

However, due to previous disciplinary requirements, no one dared to ask. They were all old party members and had a strong sense of confidentiality.

No one in the entire team spoke except for the necessary commands from the officers.

Liu Peng (Minister of Military Industry of the Baye Headquarters), Cheng Minglei (Director of the First Institute) and Chen Zijian (Chief Engineer of the First Institute) who came with them, they looked at the mountains and water, the hidden location, the terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but they all thought:

"Does the higher-ups want to put the headquarters military factory here?"

"It is hidden, and the conditions are suitable, but the transportation conditions are a bit poor! It is difficult to transport machine tools and other things in."

"It's a good place to build an arsenal. Even the Japanese planes can't find it. How did the headquarters know about such a place?"

Unfortunately, due to disciplinary issues, no one dared to speak or ask questions before Li Yinhe made her statement.

Everyone followed Li Yinhe to a cave. After checking a simple map and making sure that she had found the right location, she pointed to the ground and immediately ordered the battalion commander of the third guard regiment:

"Let someone dig down here!"

"Yes!"

The battalion commander was also a smart man. He specially called together a company composed entirely of veteran Red Army soldiers.

As a company of soldiers dug with their shovels, within five minutes a soldier reported:

"We found something! It's a box wrapped in military tarpaulin!"

“It’s available here too!”

“It’s available here too!”

········

Li Yinhe was immediately overjoyed and ordered:

"Unpack it carefully and bring one up!"

After the soldiers carefully unpacked it, a wooden box that looked about the same size as an ordinary ammunition box appeared in front of everyone. A soldier from the company picked it up with his hands without even thinking.

"Bang!"

I didn't expect the wooden box to be so heavy, so I just let it go.

"Two people carry it! Be careful!" the battalion commander immediately gave the order.

As the two men lifted the wooden box, Li Yinhe personally used her bayonet to knock open the wooden box that required two soldiers to lift.

Then the wooden box opened, and an attractive golden object that could stimulate human's primitive greed appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!"

Everyone was shocked. Some people suspected it was a cannonball, some suspected it was a bullet, but no one thought there was gold here.

Looking at the gold, Li Yinhe immediately turned around and looked around. He found that the soldiers of the Third Guard Regiment had only surprise in their eyes, and no greed.

"Bring up all the boxes and open them all! Don't leave any behind!"

The soldiers of the first company immediately started digging excitedly.

Then more than 150 opened wooden boxes appeared in front of everyone. Half of them contained the gold that everyone was familiar with, and the other half contained papers printed with foreign characters that many soldiers of the Third Guard Regiment could not recognize. They looked like money.

It can be seen that the more knowledgeable officers and Li Yinhe could tell at a glance that this was hard currency, US dollars.

After three counts, Li Yinhe, breathing heavily and with red eyes, came up with the total:

Five million U.S. dollars worth of banknotes, and 4500 kilograms of gold bars weighed out using a simple scale.

According to the exchange rate of US dollars to gold at that time, the total value of US dollars and gold is 1000 million US dollars.
