Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 890: Operation Hidden Jade

When Monk Wei heard the gunshots, he quickly cocked his pistol, then carefully stuck to the rock wall and slowly approached the direction of the gunshots.

"How is it? Is anyone injured?"

"No, there are three devils inside. Kill two of them, and there is still one left!"

"Flash bomb!"

After saying that, a flash bomb was thrown in, and then a bright light burst out, illuminating the cave like daylight.

Along with the light, the Japanese devils' shrill screams spread throughout the cave.

Monk Wei stepped forward, took five or six quick steps, snatched the Type 14 Nambu pistol from the Japanese soldier's hand, and then kicked him.

"The damned little devils, have you learned to launch a sneak attack?"

After clearing out the three Japanese soldiers, we discovered that they were guarding a tunnel that was bottomless.

When Monk Wei was about to go in to investigate, he saw a wire underground, which looked like the fuse of an electric shock device.

"Shit, there are explosives, retreat!"

Monk Wei rushed out dragging the Japanese soldier who was like a dead dog.

When they were about a hundred meters outside the cave, Monk Wei picked up the Japanese soldier and looked him over and over again.

"Hey, why doesn't this bastard look like a soldier? He looks more like an intellectual! Someone come and ask him!"

After a lot of chatter, Monk Wei finally realized that this Japanese soldier was indeed not a soldier, but a staff member of the Japanese Ministry of Finance. He came to Hainan Island to carry out an operation code-named "Hiding the Jade".

The so-called "Operation Hiding Jade" was that the Japanese invaders transported all the gold and other materials looted from China and Southeast Asia to Hainan Island and hid them in the Wuzhi Mountain.

"Are the damn Japanese devils so insidious? They have learned to hide the truth under the lamp! Ask them why they are preparing to blow up."

There was another round of chattering.

"Commander, the Japanese said that in order to keep it secret, all these holes must be blown up. When we make a comeback, we can find a chance to dig them all out!"

"Damn it, he's still thinking about making a comeback. Ask him how many secret caves there are on this island. If he can find them all, I'll spare his life! If he misses one, I'll chop off one of his fingers!"

This time the chattering lasted a little longer, but from the expressions on the soldiers' faces it was clear that although the Japs were somewhat unhappy, they still compromised.

"Commander, by some coincidence, all the information is in the cave we just hid in."

"Are you sure? Don't fall into his trap!"

"It shouldn't be a problem. The three of them were the unlucky ones who were about to blow up the hole at the end. They didn't have the heart to do it because they were worried about their family members and children, so they were caught by us in the end."

Monk Wei nodded and put on his rebounding clothes.

"You guys wait outside. If anything goes wrong with me in there, cut off two of the damn Japanese's fingers first, then report to the chief of staff and let him make the decision!"

"Brigade Commander, this is nonsense. You are the highest commander of the 201st Airborne Brigade. You let me in? If I let you in, the Chief of Staff will definitely promote me to do it!"

"Hey, you've grown up, kid? Follow the order! Stand at attention, turn around, and retreat a hundred meters!"

"Yes!"

After Monk Wei finished speaking, he asked for another pistol, loaded all the guns, and cautiously moved towards the cave entrance.

With the help of a dim flashlight, Monk Wei walked through a pile of wooden boxes, then stepped on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers again to the entrance of the tunnel. He followed the wire and walked inside along the rock wall.

After walking about fifty meters, the narrow space suddenly expanded and became so dark that I couldn't see the end.

Monk Wei turned on the flashlight, threw it to the right, and dodged to the left. With the light of the rotating flashlight, he saw about ten percent of the situation in the cave. It seemed that there were only wooden boxes, and there was no sign of human beings.

Monk Wei twisted two fluorescent sticks and inserted them into the cave entrance, then retreated into the tunnel again, found the fuse, and followed it.

"My goodness, with such precise use of the drug, I'm afraid it will just collapse the tunnel and the cave outside?"

Monk Wei removed the fuse, confirmed it again and again, then walked out and gestured towards the distance.

"Find a few nimble soldiers to move the explosives from the rock wall on the side of the tunnel. Check carefully and beware of booby traps."

Under the intensive arrangements, the explosives in the rock wall of the tunnel were moved out. After a careful search, it was discovered that the huge space at the end of the tunnel was as large as a football field and as high as two or three floors.

Monk Wei randomly opened a wooden box and shone the flashlight into it. A golden light poured into his eyes, almost blinding him.

"Shit, it's all fucking gold?"

Just as Monk Wei was shocked, a soldier came running over.

"Brigade Commander, I found a stack of information!"

Monk Wei shone the flashlight and found that there was not only a map, but also a specific catalog of supplies within the caves.

他粗略的看了一眼，黄金400吨、白金120吨、钻石15万粒，另外还有各类工艺品400箱，锡3000吨、橡胶2000吨。

Monk Wei almost fainted. Did the Japanese squeeze Southeast Asia dry? No, there are still a lot of Chinese supplies here!

"Report the situation to the Supreme Command and the Guangzhou Frontier Command. Remember to keep it confidential!"

After receiving the telegram, Wang Meng at the Guangzhou frontline command was stunned. Could these be the supplies on the Awa Maru that were supposed to have sunk into the sea?

No, the carrying capacity of the Awa Maru is not that large, or maybe the Awa Maru is just one of the ships used by the Japanese to secretly transport supplies?

Yes, it seems that the Japanese were originally planning to transport these supplies to the main island of Japan, but now the Allies and the Chinese Navy have blockaded the main island of Japan, so they can only bury all the supplies looted from Southeast Asia and those that have not yet been transported back from China on Hainan Island.

If the war fails, Japan can one day in the future use the excuse of development or other reasons to dig out these materials and secretly transport them back to Japan to support their economic recovery.

"Damn little Japanese, do you think the most dangerous place to play with me is the safest place? Copy these coordinates to all troops, and do not allow artillery coverage.

The 201st and 202nd Airborne Brigade, find these coordinates and keep a close watch on the supplies. Don't let even a grain of rice get out!"

After giving the order, Wang Meng sat at the table and pondered. If this jade hiding operation was just to hide the supplies, then where would the supplies looted by the "Golden Lily Project" be?

According to the nature of the Japanese, Hainan Island is definitely not the only hiding place, and the number is not large either.

After the Japanese occupied Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, they began to plunder Nanjing's wealth. From officers to ordinary soldiers, many Japanese gangs also participated in the robbery, but not much wealth flowed into the hands of the Japanese royal family.

Therefore, the Japanese Supreme Command started the "Golden Lily Plan", which was an organized and planned plunder by the Japanese government.
