Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

"Waterweed, look at that tree over there, it looks like there's a pilot hanging there."

"Hurry, get them out of here quickly."

Upon seeing this, Mizusaku Yu was overjoyed and quickly ordered people to find a way to rescue the pilot.

According to military regulations, anyone who rescues their own pilot on the battlefield is considered to have performed a major feat.

If they can bring the pilot back safely, their intelligence personnel's responsibilities will be much lighter, and they can also obtain some relevant intelligence through the pilot.

Ideally, we should conclude that "it's not that their intelligence personnel weren't working hard enough, it's just that their opponents were too cunning."

The one hanging in the tree at this moment is Xiaoze. He was lucky enough to parachute out successfully when his vehicle was hit, but his luck ran out here.

Upon landing, his parachute got caught on a tree, leaving him suspended in mid-air. He even suffered a leg injury from a branch, making him look rather pitiful.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be long before Major Ozawa was captured by our militia who rushed to the scene.

A Japanese major, and an air force pilot, that's a tremendous achievement.

If you can successfully escort the prisoners back, you will definitely receive praise from the county and various material rewards, such as canned goods, cloth, farm tools, and various industrial products.

In order to motivate the people in the newly liberated areas, local officials came up with all sorts of methods.

As long as someone makes even the slightest contribution, they will be rewarded with some supplies. This is a way of "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones," setting up role models, and incidentally reducing some of the burden on the people of Zexian County.

If a militia member manages to capture an enemy air force major, they will not receive a substantial moral or material reward.

Even the county annals of Zexian would record this in great detail:

"On a certain day in a certain year of the Republic of China, a certain person from a certain village in Ze County captured an enemy soldier, a major in the enemy's air force, at a certain mountain where the village was protected. The wreckage of the aircraft and the pilot were handed over, demonstrating the enthusiasm of the entire military and civilian population of the county for resisting Japan. This is also an important part of the military history of the county during the War of Resistance against Japan."

You know, once such a great thing is recorded, it's easy for it to be passed down in the local area for hundreds of years, if not immortalized for generations.

As for the village, needless to say, the village chief and elders will probably discuss revising the genealogy that very evening, right after the county's commendation meeting.

Having a separate page for the family genealogy is the most basic practice, and it's only natural that family members receive various preferential treatments.

After all, it's a small mountain village. To put it bluntly, sometimes it might not happen for decades to see a single major event that the whole county will remember.

Unfortunately, by the time the nearest village arrived at the scene with the help of the militia captain, Major Ozawa had already run far away with the assistance of Sakai and others.

When Captain Wen, who was leading the team, saw the parachute with its rope cut on the tree branch and the messy footprints around it, he immediately became so angry that he started cursing loudly and using very vulgar language.

Based on the traces at the scene, the enemy pilot must have been taken away by the Japanese infiltrators. This huge achievement was suddenly reduced by more than half, which made him extremely angry.

Although discovering the wreckage of the enemy's plane was a great achievement, it was the merit of their own air force comrades and had little to do with their Wenjia Village.

Even if the county offers a reward, it probably won't be much, since the plane wreckage is right here and can't just run away.

However, if an enemy pilot were captured alive, that would be a credit to the Wen family village militia; the two are completely different concepts.

As for why this happened, it's because someone rescued her. A little analysis of the situation at the scene will make it clear.

If the militia from the surrounding villages arrive before them, they will definitely send people to protect the scene immediately and then wait for the army to send people to take over.

The fact that the scene is currently deserted is enough to prove that it was done by enemy infiltrators.

However, Captain Wen didn't want to let this credit slip away right under his nose, so he simply arranged for a few people to guard the plane wreckage to prove that their village was the first to find it.

He led about twenty militiamen in pursuit along the direction the enemy was retreating, hoping to reclaim the credit and not let the sure thing slip away.

The idea was good, but Sakai and his men were professionally trained; how could they possibly be captured by a mere militia squad?

Of course, this does not include our eyes following behind the enemy. The two team members who are specifically responsible for tracking in the field are equipped with more advanced equipment than the enemy's intelligence personnel, and their skills far surpass those of the enemy.

It can be said that the enemy's every move was under our surveillance, while the Japanese devils were completely unaware and thought they were so powerful.

In fact, when our tracking personnel discovered that the enemy was trying to rescue their pilots, they had already reported to their superiors and prepared to make an arrest.

An enemy pilot major—that's a big fish. Even if we kill him, the loss to the enemy would be no less than that of an entire squadron.

It's important to understand that training a qualified pilot is extremely expensive in any country, especially for someone who can serve as a squadron commander.

However, after careful consideration, Section Chief Sun abandoned this tempting plan and simply ordered his men to keep a close watch on the enemy.

After the enemy rescues their own pilot, they will definitely try to send him back. This is the best opportunity to catch all the enemy spies who have been hiding in the field.

The original plan was to slowly uncover the enemy's secret communication stations and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Now we have a better plan. The enemy's infiltrators will definitely try to get the pilots out as soon as possible, so we must use secret transport channels, which is exactly what we want to know.

These things will only cause trouble if left in the base area; this time they must be eradicated completely.

As for whether it will backfire and allow the enemy's Air Force Major to escape, everyone is underestimating the capabilities of our action team.

Sure enough, after Sakai rescued the person, he settled him in a secluded place outside the city.

This was a landlord's courtyard, which served as an enemy intelligence outpost when Zexian County was occupied by the Japanese.

The owner of this courtyard was an old landlord. His eldest son was the captain of the Zexian County Detective Team, his youngest son was a Japanese translator, and the old man was also the head of the puppet regime. It could be said that there was not a single good person in the whole family.

When the Japanese devils were around, these scoundrels relied on the power of the invaders to do evil and oppress the people.

After we recovered Ze County, these traitors and collaborators left, but this courtyard remained.

On the surface, it was sold to an unrelated person, but in reality, it became a mole planted by enemy intelligence agents.
