Based on the above situation, the scouts could basically conclude that the Japanese biochemical unit was in this valley.

They were worried that there would be Japanese surveillance watches in this valley or on the hill, so they did not dare to take risks in, and they were worried that they would alert the enemy, so they came back to report the situation.

Everyone was very excited when they heard the news. They could basically confirm that the Japanese biochemical unit was in this valley.

Gao Jiu decided to go for reconnaissance in person.

Night has fallen.

Gao Jiu asked the scouts from the Military Sub-district to lead the way, and he himself only took Ning Wen and Ning Wu to the mountain to reconnaissance.

The leaders of the Third Military Sub-district were very worried because Gao Jiu’s current identity is not as simple as an ordinary guerrilla captain.

Seeing that he only took two people to reconnaissance, he couldn't help but worry about him. They expressed their willingness to send scouts from the Eighth Route Army to complete the reconnaissance mission, at least they would have to send troops to escort them.

The person in charge of the underground party knew Gao Jiu very well, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Gao can be called the king of night wars. If others go there, they can only cause trouble for Mr. Gao."

Gao Jiu and his fours came to the village. Gao Jiu asked the scouts from the military sub-district to point out the location of the valley to them, and the three of them could just go by themselves.

The scout insisted on going with them, saying that he was familiar with the terrain in this area and could help if he encountered any situation.

The reason why Gao Jiu refused to let him go was because he was worried that he would encounter danger. Seeing that he had such sincerity, he agreed to his request.

Soon after, the four of them came to the valley. When they arrived here, Gao Jiu left Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the scout asked them to lead the horse and wait here, and he entered the mountain alone.

After Gao Jiu left, the scout asked curiously: "Brothers, why don't you go with Master Jiu? Aren't you worried about Master Jiu's safety?"

Ning Wu smiled and said, "Let me tell you this, no one in the world can do anything to Master Jiu. We won't go, but we just don't want to cause trouble for Master Jiu and save time for Master Jiu to come and save us again."

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the scouts found a hidden place nearby, hid, and waited for Gao Jiu to come back.

Gao Jiu walked into the valley, observing while walking, but did not find anything. He thought it might be a problem with his vision, so he climbed up the top of the mountain along the hillside.

He climbed up a mountain and searched everywhere. Soon after, he saw two figures on the ridge in front.

It's so late, it's absolutely abnormal for these two people to appear here. It can basically be concluded that they are the Japanese sentinels.

Gao Jiu went down the mountain and touched the location of the Japanese outpost.

Gao Jiu did not intend to take action tonight, so he was unwilling to alarm the Japanese army's post. So when he walked to the Japanese army's post below the ridge, he changed direction and climbed up to the other side of the ridge.

After climbing the ridge, Gao Jiu observed from all over the place and saw a figure on the ridge in the distance, which should be other Japanese sentries.

According to the location of the Japanese post, Gao Jiu could basically determine that the Japanese camp was located in the middle of these three posts.

After careful observation, he saw that there were still figures shaking in the valley between the two ridges.

Gao Jiu quietly went down the mountain and walked towards the two figures.

Gao Jiu saw clearly that there were two people holding weapons in their hands, and their lower bodies could not be seen. It should be inside the cover. A black thing stretched out from the cover, which should be a machine gun.

Looking at behind them, there was a long and narrow light that seemed to be coming out of the crack in the door.

The situation was basically clear, so Gao Jiu returned to the valley entrance.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the scout saw Gao Jiu coming back and went up to meet him.

The scout asked, "Master Jiu, have you found the Japanese's nest?"

Gao Jiu said: "Just behind the ridge in front, it's too dark now, and some situations are not clear. In this way, you three go to the east, west and south to quietly touch them. When it's dawn, you can see the surrounding environment clearly. You must evacuate before dawn. Let's go to the brick kiln outside Xiaolizhuang Village to gather."

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the scout said, "I understand, Master Jiu."

So the three of them went to reconnaissance separately.

After Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others left, Gao Jiu entered the mountain again, climbed the ridge, and waited somewhere.

The sky gradually became brighter and the sky turned white.

Gao Jiu saw it clearly. There was indeed a cave there. There was a bunker built with sandbags at the entrance of the cave. There were two Japanese soldiers and a Type 92 heavy machine gun.

On the left side of the opening, there were four trucks parked, and there was a row of wooden houses on the right side of the opening, and nothing else was happening.

Gao Jiu went down the mountain and came to the brick kiln outside Xiaoli Village.

Not long after, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the scout also returned, and the four of them returned to the headquarters of the Third Military Sub-district.

The head of the underground party, Wang Zhankui and the leaders of the Third Military Sub-district, were very happy to see Gao Jiu and others returning safely and asked about their reconnaissance situation.

Gao Jiu said: "The place where the Japanese hide is found. Let's have a meal first and then study it carefully after the meal."

After breakfast, everyone came to the conference room. Gao Jiu first took out the sketch he drew, and then took the sketches drawn by Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the scout to compare and mark them on it.

Gao Jiu spread the sketch he drew on the table and said, "Please see, in this valley, here is the cave hidden by the Japanese biochemical troops. The wooden houses next to them are stationed with a Japanese infantry squadron. On the three hills around, there is a bunker made of sandbags, and there is also one at the entrance of the cave. At the entrance of the valley, there are two Japanese bunkers.

On the outskirts of this Japanese camp, there is a barbed wire mesh, and there are no other Japanese troops in the surrounding mountains.

This is the situation here. Please introduce the situation where the enemy may reinforce after the battle begins."

The Chief of Staff of the Third Military Sub-district introduced the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops garrisoning around.

After everyone discussed, they decided that Gao Jiu would lead the Taohuashan guerrillas to annihilate the Japanese biochemical unit, and the troops from the Third Military Sub-district were responsible for fighting aid.

For specific operation time, the troops set off after dinner today. All troops will arrive at the designated location before 12 o'clock and launch an attack on time at 2 o'clock in the morning.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the leaders of the Third Military Sub-district suddenly heard a noise outside, so they walked out of the headquarters yard and saw many soldiers from the Third Military Sub-district outside, pointing and talking.

The leaders of the military sub-district separated the crowd and saw the soldiers of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas checking their equipment there.

In addition to each of the guerrillas, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas also carried many horses carrying supplies, carrying light machine guns, mortars, 82mm recoil-free cannons, rocket launchers, etc., as well as boxes of ammunition.

Each of the members of the Taohuashan Guerrillas had a sniper rifle, a submachine gun, a mausoleum gun at his waist, a bullet bag and a shoulder bag hanging on his chest, and a first aid bag and other items in the shoulder bag. Everyone was carrying a huge canvas bag behind him, which was bulging inside, and an engineer shovel was inserted on the outside of the backpack.

Such equipment made the soldiers of the Third Military Sub-district very jealous, but with so many equipment, most of them were afraid that they could not handle it, but the special forces members were all carrying them on their backs, and they all seemed very relaxed.

What aroused people's curiosity was the things like elephant trunks taken out by the Taohuashan Special Forces. Many soldiers have never seen them before, and some people also recognize them saying that this is a gas mask.

The special forces members all wore gas masks and looked very strange. This would be really scary if it were nighttime.

Before the battle, the special forces members would check their equipment very carefully. They checked all the equipment, which took more than two hours.

Since Gao Jiu came to the Third Military Sub-district, the leaders of the Military Sub-district found that in addition to having strong analytical and judgment skills, Gao Jiu was very serious and careful in doing everything. The seriousness of the special forces members' seriousness in doing things has also left a deep impression on these leaders and soldiers.

All of these are essential qualities for an excellent commander and a strong force.

The leaders of the military sub-district believed that this should be learned from the Taohuashan guerrillas, so they also changed their past habit of checking equipment before departure and ordered the troops to prepare in advance now.

At supper that day, everyone ate and talked, and made a last discussion on the action tonight.

Gao Jiu listened to everyone's conversation and thoughtful.

Everyone noticed this, and everyone stopped and looked at Gao Jiu.

The person in charge of the underground party asked, "Mr. Gao, you are about to start the action. Do you have any more?"

Gao Jiu raised his head and said decisively: "Tonight's action will be temporarily cancelled."

Everyone was ready to set off, and they were a little surprised by Gao Jiu's decision.

The chief of staff of the Third Military Sub-district asked: "Mr. Gao, what happened again and why did the operation be cancelled?"

Gao Jiu said: "The location of this cave happens to be at the bottom of the valley, and an iron gate is installed on it. It can be seen that the shape of the cave entrance is very standardized, and it should not be formed naturally, but a tunnel dug by artificially excavated.

I always feel that there should be more than one exit in this tunnel. If there is another exit in the tunnel, once the battle begins, the Japanese biochemical troops may escape from other entrances. These people are very dangerous. If they carry biological and chemical weapons, whether they release them intentionally after they escape, even if an accident occurs, it will cause huge harm to the people in this area. Therefore, they must be wiped out all in the cave.

To be on the safe side, I suggest expanding the search range and be sure to find other exits of that tunnel.”

Everyone thought Gao Jiu had made sense, so they agreed to suspend the action.

The leaders of the Third Military Sub-district said that they had many local warriors, people's sentiments, and terrain, and asked them to hand over the task of finding the cave entrance to complete.

Gao Jiu and the underground party leader agreed to their request.

Two days later, all the scouts sent by the Third Military Sub-district came back. They went into the mountain to reconnaise. The valley where the Japanese army was located was as the center, and several surrounding valleys were checked, but no other entrances were found. Not only that, they also visited the local people and did not find any other exits.

The head of the underground party said: "Mr. Gao, I think it is very likely that the Japanese army built a tunnel without any other exits."

The leaders of the Third Military Sub-district also felt that this possibility was extremely high. They believed that the entrance of the cave where the Japanese army was located was very large. It was a huge project to penetrate the mountain. After investigation, the local people did not receive the large-scale construction of the Japanese army.

Even Wang Zhankui and Du Shengxi felt that everyone made sense, and they suggested taking action tonight.

Gao Jiu was still a little worried, but he couldn't understand why the Japanese army built this tunnel with only one exit.

He said: "Everyone think about it again. No action will be taken tonight. We will hold a meeting tomorrow morning to continue studying this issue."

Although the leaders of the Third Military Sub-district thought that Gao Jiu was serious in doing things, they did not expect that Gao Jiu, who was famous all over the world, was so careful in doing things, which seemed to be as magical as the legendary one, and it was a little inconsistent with the legend.

However, the person in charge of the underground party had already said in advance that the final decision on this matter was Gao Jiu, so everyone went back to rest.

Gao Jiu has been thinking about this matter, even lying in bed at night, but he just can't figure it out.

The next morning, Jia Liu came over to invite Gao Jiu to the cafeteria for dinner. On the way, Jia Liu asked, "Master Jiu, have you figured it out?"

Gao Jiu shook his head and said, "I haven't thought it through yet."

Jia Liu said, "Master Jiu, I have an idea, I don't know if it makes sense."

Gao Jiu asked with interest: "Tell me what do you think?"

Jia Liu said: "Jiu Ye, that mountain is so big, it should not be easy for the Japanese to open it, but if the tunnel the Japanese attacked happened to be connected to another cave, wouldn't they have to spend so much effort?"

Hearing this, Gao Jiu suddenly realized and said excitedly: "Jia Liu, you have made great contributions this time. When you return to the Golden Triangle, I will reward you well."

Jia Liu was very happy to see that he could help Master Jiu and said, "Master Jiu, if you really reward me, just give me a month off, how about it?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I will give you 40 days off."

The two of them entered the cafeteria. The head of the underground party and the leaders of the military sub-district were excited when they saw Gao Jiu's smiling look.
Chapter completed!
