Wang Rui entered the cave entrance first, followed closely by Xiaohu.
At this moment, two beautiful women came over. The taller woman was the girl playing mahjong in the abbot's room.
Approaching Wang Rui, the two women performed a military salute.
Wang Rui returned the gift and looked around -
Judging from the layout of the cave, it is more appropriate to call it a basement than a cave. The indoor space was dug to a certain depth during construction and capped with steel bars and concrete.
Looking at the interior layout, there is a corridor in the middle with three doors on each side of the corridor.
We also learned from the girl's self-introduction that the slightly taller man, named Ye Lan, was twenty-six years old. He joined the army six years ago with the rank of lieutenant and is currently the confidential secretary of the Rangers.
The other person's surname is Yun, and his first name is Yunhan. He is 23 years old at the time. He joined the army four years ago and is currently a confidential member of the special forces.
After listening to the introduction, Wang Rui made something out of nothing and asked Secretary Ye to call out the others.
Sure enough, under Secretary Ye's call, the three girls walked out of the room with gloomy faces.
I heard from Secretary Ye that among the three girls, Xiaoyan and Xiaosu were exactly eighteen years old, and Xiaohuang had just turned seventeen, and they were all recruited from different villages and towns.
Secretary Ye went on to say that the girls should have been sent to the special training team a month ago, but Captain Lin kept delaying and refused to release them.
Wang Rui became increasingly upset and asked Secretary Ye why he refused to let him go.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Ye replied that it was a man's business and only Captain Lin was qualified to answer.
Wang Rui immediately understood what Secretary Ye meant and saw the hidden meaning in the girl's gloomy expression, so he invited the three girls to talk alone.
Through the conversation, Wang Rui not only learned about the background and origins of the girls, but also learned about the abuse and torture they suffered from their cries.
What made Wang Rui even more heartbroken was that Miss Xiaoyan once cut her wrists and committed suicide because she was unwilling to endure the torture.
Accompanied by Secretary Ye and Xiaoyun, Wang Rui first visited the newspaper office.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the radio room, Wang Rui was surprised again. He saw two female radio operators in neat military uniforms. They stood up and stood side by side to greet Wang Rui with military salutes.
Compared with the entire basement, the press room is unique and is divided into six rooms. In addition to the press and confidential rooms, the remaining four rooms are dormitories.
Looking at the radio stations on the desktop, Wang Rui had ulterior motives and asked Secretary Ye if he had any spare ones.
Secretary Ye bluntly said that there must be a backup radio station.
Thirty meters south along the passage in front of the newspaper room, there is a door on the east and west sides, but the materials of the doors are completely different, the east side is made of iron plate, and the west side is an ordinary wooden door.
Secretary Ye knocked on the wooden door twice, and a male monk quickly walked out.
The male monk opened the iron door, and Secretary Ye walked in first.
Not to mention the piles of guns and ammunition indoors, the six Czech ZB-26 light machine guns alone were enough to make Wang Rui jealous.
After all, he was an expert, so Wang Rui asked Secretary Ye about the personnel and equipment of the Rangers.
Secretary Ye said that there are currently more than 200 people in the special team, divided into three detachments, respectively deployed at the three triangular points of Liuquan, Lianhuawang, and Gangzi, to operate stone mines, lime kilns, and brick and tile yards as cover.
Secretary Ye went on to say that in addition to long and short guns, each unit is also equipped with six light machine guns. Even Guangde Temple, a small place, is equipped with four light machine guns.
Secretary Ye said as he opened the gun cabinet.
Sure enough, the gun cabinet was filled with rifles and shell guns, the most eye-catching ones being four light machine guns.
Wang Rui cursed secretly in his heart, this national army is so damn fat.
At noon, Lin Feng hosted a banquet for the task force. The guest of honor was set up in the living room. Secretary Ye and Xiao Yun were also invited by Lin Feng to come and sit with them.
After three drinks, Wang Rui made three conditions, each with an explanation attached -
First, Captain Lin's Browning and six light machine guns were taken away unconditionally. The other guns and ammunition in stock were divided into 40 and 60 parts, and the task force received six.
Explanation: The national army is so fat.
Second, the backup radio station was presented to the task force. Yunhan accompanied the radio station and served as the operator of the task force.
Explanation: reflects the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
Third, the three abducted girls voluntarily joined the Eighth Route Army and were taken away together.
Interpretation: unconditional.
Wang Rui finally said that if any of the above three items is rejected, the task force will not hesitate to use public opinion to publicize the crimes of the Rangers robbing civilian women and shooting civilians.
Lin Feng was dumb and had no choice but to acquiesce to the conditions proposed by Wang Rui.
However, Lin Feng was a cunning old man and was worried that he would be accused of embezzling weapons in the future, so he asked Wang Rui to type a receipt in front of everyone and hand it to Secretary Ye personally.
