Spy war in the Republic of China, peak undercover

"This way!" Lu Yang turned sharply and turned into a more hidden path. This path was discovered by him when he was hunting before. It was rugged and difficult to walk on. Most people would never walk here.

He ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow, silently praying in his heart that Qinglan and Ye Wanru could escape safely. He knew that this time the trouble was big. Once the Japanese "Thunder Plan" was implemented, the anti-Japanese forces in the entire Greater Khingan Range would face a catastrophe.

After running to a valley, Lu Yang stopped, holding his knees and breathing heavily. He had to contact the organization as soon as possible and pass on this news.

He pulled out a small compass from his pocket, confirmed the direction, and continued walking towards the "old place." The "old place" was a hidden cave deep in the Greater Khingan Range, where he and his comrades had once been a secret base.

After walking for about half an hour, he finally found the cave. The entrance of the cave was hidden by dense bushes and was very hidden.

Lu Yang entered the cave and lit a torch. The cave was dry, and the air was filled with a faint smell of earth. He found a place to sit down and began to check his equipment.

Fortunately, the pistol and bullets were still there, as well as a dagger, some dry food and water.

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave.

Lu Yang was startled and immediately gripped his pistol tightly, looking at the cave entrance vigilantly.

"Who?" he whispered.

"It's me, Qinglan." A familiar voice came.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, put down his gun, and stood up. "Are you okay?"

Qinglan walked out from behind the bushes, his face pale and covered in snowflakes. "I'm fine. Where's Ye Wanru?"

"I didn't see her," Lu Yang frowned. "We ran in different directions. She might have gotten lost."

A trace of worry crossed Qinglan's face, "I hope she's okay."

"Now is not the time to worry about this," Lu Yang interrupted her, "We must contact the organization as soon as possible."

He walked deeper into the cave, found a secluded corner, and began to assemble the radio.

Qinglan was on guard at the entrance of the cave to prevent the Japanese from suddenly appearing.

"Beep beep..." The radio station emitted a weak signal.

"Finally got in touch!" A hint of joy appeared on Lu Yang's face.

He quickly passed on the news of the "Thunder Plan" and asked the organization to send support as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, a burst of intensive gunfire suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Oh no! The Japanese have discovered us!" Qinglan exclaimed.

Lu Yang's face changed. He knew that they were surrounded.

"We must break out!" He made a prompt decision.

"But there are only two of us. How can we break out?" Qinglan was a little desperate.

A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yang's eyes, "Let's fight!"

He grabbed his pistol and rushed out of the cave.

Qinglan followed closely behind.

Outside the cave, a dozen Japanese soldiers had surrounded them.

"Surrender your weapons and you won't be killed!" a Japanese officer shouted in broken Chinese.

Lu Yang sneered, "Dream on!"

He raised his pistol and pulled the trigger at the devils.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of gunfire echoed through the valley.

The sound of gunfire echoed through the valley, startling a flock of birds. Snowflakes swirl, obscuring vision and masking the smell of blood. With their backs to the cave, Lu Yang and Qing Lan, leveraging the terrain to their advantage, engage the enemy.

Lu Yang's marksmanship was precise, with almost every shot hitting its mark. Several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. As he fired, he observed the surrounding terrain, looking for an opportunity to break through. He knew that a head-on attack was not the solution; he had to outsmart them.

Although Qinglan didn't have Lu Yang's excellent marksmanship, she was agile and quick to react, and was always able to dodge the enemy's bullets in time. From time to time, she would stick her head out and fire a cold shot, causing some disturbance to the enemy.

"Cover me!" Lu Yang shouted, then rushed forward, attracting most of the devils' firepower.

Qinglan immediately raised his gun and fired to cover Lu Yang's actions.

Lu Yang took advantage of the cover of snow and fog to move quickly, looking for the enemy's weak points. He found that the enemy's firepower was mainly concentrated in the front of the cave, while the flank defense was relatively weak.

He decided to break out from the flank.

Lu Yang crouched down, quickly passed through a bush, and came to the flank of the Japanese.

He took a deep breath, then stood up suddenly and fired a volley of bullets at the Japanese.

Several Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and knocked to the ground.

Lu Yang took the opportunity to rush out and ran deep into the woods.

"Chase!" the Japanese officer roared angrily.

The Japs immediately chased after them.

Seeing this, Qinglan immediately rushed out of the cave and followed Lu Yang.

The two men ran desperately in the snow, and the gunshots behind them were getting closer and closer.

"This way!" Lu Yang suddenly turned and ran into a dense pine forest.

The snow was deep in the pine forest, making running very difficult, but it also provided them with cover.

After the Japanese chased into the pine forest, their speed slowed down significantly.

Lu Yang and Qing Lan took advantage of the cover of trees to deal with the Japanese.

They sometimes dodged, sometimes counterattacked, and used the terrain advantage to cause heavy casualties to the Japanese.

At this moment, a melodious whistle suddenly came from the distance.

Lu Yang's heart moved. This whistle was the secret code agreed upon by them and the local hunters!

He immediately responded with a whistle.

After a while, several hunters wearing hunting clothes and holding hunting rifles appeared in front of them.

"It's you!" Lu Yang shouted in surprise.

"Comrade Lu, we are here to help you!" said a hunter.

The hunters are all veteran hunters from the Greater Khingan Range. They are very familiar with the terrain here, and each of them is a sharpshooter.

With the addition of the hunters, the situation immediately reversed.

The Japanese were attacked from both sides and were caught off guard.

In the end, the remaining devils fled in a panic.

Lu Yang and Qing Lan were finally safe.

They followed the hunters to a secluded mountain village.

The stronghold is located deep in the Greater Khingan Range, surrounded by cliffs, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There lived in the mountain village some hunters and their families, who were all secret supporters of the anti-Japanese forces.

Lu Yang and Qing Lan received a warm welcome here.

They ate a hot Northeastern stew and drank a bowl of fragrant millet porridge, and all the fatigue and coldness in their bodies were swept away.

In the evening, Lu Yang and the hunters sat around the fire pit, discussing the next plan.

"The Japanese's 'Thunder Plan' is very insidious," Lu Yang said. "They plan to launch a large-scale raid on our base. We must be prepared in advance."

"We will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest," said an old hunter. "The Japanese are going too far. We have long wanted to deal with them!"

"Yes! Let's fight the Japs!" Other hunters also expressed their support.

Lu Yang was deeply moved by the simple and honest hunters. He knew that as long as they had the support of the people, the Anti-Japanese War would surely achieve ultimate victory.

In the next few days, with the help of the hunters, Lu Yang and Qing Lan conducted a detailed reconnaissance of the terrain of Daxinganling and formulated a thorough defense plan.

They also organized military training for the hunters to improve their combat skills.

At the same time, Ye Wanru also went through untold hardships and finally returned to the base safely.

She reported what she saw to the organization.

The organization attached great importance to the "Thunder Plan" and immediately took corresponding measures.

Winter in the Greater Khingan Range seems endless. A bitter cold wind howls through the mountains and forests, whipping up drifts of snow, blanketing the world in a blanket of silver. Inside the mountain village, a blazing fire in the hearth dispels the chill and warms the hearts. Lu Yang, Qing Lan, and the hunters gather around the hearth, the atmosphere heavy and tense.

"According to our reconnaissance over the past few days," Lu Yang pointed to a crude map spread on the kang and circled it with a blackened wooden stick. "The main enemy force is likely to attack from here. Their target is our arsenal." His brow furrowed, his expression serious. The arsenal was the lifeline of the anti-Japanese forces; if it were destroyed by the Japanese, the consequences would be disastrous.

"This place has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack," said a hunter named Zhao Lao Da, pointing to a pass on the map. His thick beard was covered with frost, and the white breath he exhaled condensed into mist in the air as he spoke. "We can set an ambush here and catch the Japanese off guard." Zhao Lao Da is the most experienced hunter in the Greater Khingan Range and knows the terrain of this mountain forest like the back of his hand.

"Boss Zhao is right," another young hunter echoed. "We're familiar with the terrain. We can use it to our advantage and strike the Japanese head-on." His young face brimmed with fighting spirit, his eyes gleaming with hatred. His family had been murdered by the Japanese, and he harbored a deep-seated hatred for them.

"Okay!" Lu Yang slapped his thigh and said in a firm tone, "Let's follow Boss Zhao's suggestion and set up an ambush here. Remember, we must deal the greatest blow to the Japs at the lowest cost!" There was a confident light in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Over the next few days, Lu Yang and Qing Lan led the hunters to set up various traps and obstacles at the pass. They cut down trees, set up roadblocks, dug traps, and turned the entire pass into a death trap.

At the same time, the base also received the intelligence transmitted by Lu Yang and responded quickly. They mobilized elite troops and rushed to Daxing'anling for support.

A war is about to break out.

A few days later, the vanguard of the Japanese invaders entered the Greater Khingan Range and marched along the mountain road, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities along the way.

"The devils are coming!" A hunter in charge of guarding ran into the stronghold and shouted breathlessly.

"Prepare for battle!" Lu Yang gave an order, and the hunters immediately picked up their weapons and rushed to their respective battle positions.

The Japanese vanguard consisted of about a small group. They walked arrogantly on the mountain road, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

When they entered the pass, Lu Yang gave the order, "Attack!"

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the pre-buried mines exploded, blowing away several Japanese soldiers walking in the front.

"Da da da..." The hunters fired their hunting rifles and homemade guns at the same time, and dense bullets were shot at the Japanese.

The Japanese were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.

"Kill!" The hunters shouted and rushed down the hillside, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.

Lu Yang and Qing Lan also charged forward. Their shooting skills were accurate and every bullet found its target.

Although the Japs were well-equipped, they were unfamiliar with the terrain, outnumbered, and were quickly defeated.

The remaining Japanese soldiers abandoned their weapons and fled in a panic.

The first battle ended with the victory of the anti-Japanese forces.

However, Lu Yang did not relax at all, he knew that this was just the beginning. The main force of the devils would arrive soon, and a more brutal battle was waiting for them.

He immediately organized hunters to clean up the battlefield, collect the spoils, and strengthen the fortifications.

He knew that they had to be fully prepared to face the next, even more difficult challenge.

As night falls, the night sky of Daxinganling is dotted with stars and is particularly beautiful.

The smoke of war cleared, and the Greater Khingan Range returned to its former tranquility. Snow blanketed the mountains, and the winds were still biting, but the mountain stronghold was filled with joy at having survived. The Japanese "Thunderbolt Plan" had been completely thwarted, the arsenal had been preserved, and the anti-Japanese forces had achieved a significant victory.

Lu Yang's left arm was injured, and the hunters bandaged it briefly with herbs. He leaned against the wooden wall beside the fire pit, his face pale but in good spirits. Qinglan was busy bandaging the wounds of other wounded soldiers. Her meticulous movements and gentle eyes filled this simple mountain village with warmth.

"Lu Yang, how are your injuries?" Ye Wanru walked over to Lu Yang, carrying a bowl of steaming wild vegetable porridge, and asked with concern. This was their first meeting since their last separation, and Ye Wanru's face was filled with a hint of fear and a hint of joy.

"It's okay, just a minor injury," Lu Yang took the bowl and smiled. "I won't die." He took a sip of the porridge, and a warm current flowed through his body, making him feel comfortable. The battles during this period had exhausted him both physically and mentally, and now he could finally rest well.

"It's already this late, and you're still trying to be stubborn," Ye Wanru gave him a reproachful look, "Take good care of your injuries, there are still many battles to come." Although her tone was reproachful, her eyes were full of concern.

Lu Yang knew that Ye Wanru cared about him, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He smiled, said nothing, and lowered his head to continue drinking porridge.

Although life in the village was hard, it was full of human touch and the hunters were warm and hospitable.
