Disguised as a Military Inspector, Lin Feng knew that the initial disruption of the Kuomintang's encirclement at the crossroads and the town was just the beginning of a battle of wits against the stubborn faction of the Kuomintang. The enemy would not easily relent, and their subsequent encirclement would undoubtedly become more severe, with increasingly cunning tactics. However, his gaze remained resolute and unafraid. Armed with a thorough understanding of the surrounding terrain and years of experience in underground operations, he was determined to see this protective mission through to ensure the smooth operation of the Underground Party Transportation Line.
At that moment, the encircling troops were led into a mountainous forest area. The terrain here was complex, with rolling hills and dense trees blocking out the sun, while thorns grew thickly. Once someone entered this place, it was easy to get lost. Lin Feng had an idea; he decided to take advantage of the favorable conditions to set up a maze for the enemy.
He swiftly moved through the forest with his aide, skillfully placing misleading signposts based on his memory and precise judgment of the terrain. They carved seemingly directional markings into tree trunks with their daggers—some pointing towards deep valleys, others towards steep ridges—intentionally creating multiple false paths to mislead the Kuomintang Army into thinking they were traces left by the hurried escape of the Underground Party.
Additionally, Lin Feng used some simple tools he carried to fabricate chaotic footprints leading to these false signposts, creating an illusion that many had passed through. To make the deception even more convincing, they deliberately discarded some old clothes and damaged backpacks along the roadside, as if the Underground Party had hastily abandoned supplies during their retreat.
After setting up these false clues, Lin Feng did not leave immediately but instead hid in a nearby thicket, quietly observing the enemy's movements. Before long, the leading troops of the Kuomintang entered the forest, panting heavily as they followed the misleading signs. The commanding officer saw these obvious markers and immediately became excited: "Brothers, hurry up! The rebels must have run this way; this time they won't escape!"
The soldiers quickened their pace, delving deeper into the forest following the false signs. Little did they know that what awaited them were dead ends and endless circles. Some units descended along a valley only to find themselves confronted by steep cliffs with no way forward; others climbed ridges only to be ensnared by thick thorns, unable to advance and forced to retreat in disarray.
Watching the enemy flounder like headless flies in the forest, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Yet he knew he could not let his guard down at this moment. Taking advantage of their confusion, he began spreading false information to further disturb their morale.
Lin Feng instructed his aide to quietly infiltrate behind enemy lines and pretend to chat casually with other straggling soldiers. He inadvertently revealed: "Brother, I heard that most of their main forces are not in this mountain; they've already split into several groups and headed in different directions. What we're chasing might just be some small fry; all their valuable supplies and key personnel have long since moved south."
These words quickly spread among the Kuomintang soldiers, igniting panic and confusion. Upon hearing this news, officers began to hesitate, unsure whether to continue searching deeper into the forest or change direction and pursue southward. While they debated heatedly, Lin Feng arranged for someone on the other side of the forest to create some noise simulating an escape, causing another group of enemies to rush toward that direction.
Thus, the Kuomintang's encircling troops were tossed about in the forest for most of the day without achieving anything and finally realized they had been tricked. The officers were furious and decided to adjust their strategy by concentrating their forces for a strong assault on several key points along the Underground Party Transportation Line.
They first set their sights on a small village located at a critical junction. This village appeared calm but was actually a vital hub for storing supplies and transferring personnel for the Underground Party. The Kuomintang Army mobilized a large force from all directions to surround it in preparation for a raid.
However, they had no idea that Lin Feng had anticipated this move. After notifying those on the Transportation Line, he rushed back to the village without delay and prepared defenses with those who remained behind. They set up makeshift barricades at the village entrance, dug trenches, and utilized buildings and walls for cover. Although their weapons were rudimentary, everyone was filled with fighting spirit and determined to defend their home.
When the Kuomintang Army launched their assault, those in the village fought back fiercely. Gunfire mixed with explosions echoed through the air as smoke filled their surroundings. Lin Feng moved between trenches directing combat while boosting morale: "Hold your ground! The Kuomintang's encirclement plan is about to fall apart! We must defend our position and buy time for the smooth operation of the Transportation Line!"
In the midst of a fierce battle, Lin Feng discovered that the enemy's firepower was primarily concentrated at the village entrance, while the defenses along a small river at the back of the village were relatively weak. An idea struck him; he organized a small team, equipped with minimal weapons and essential supplies, and quietly crossed the river from the rear to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's flank.
The sudden appearance of the small team caught the Kuomintang Army off guard. They mistakenly believed that reinforcements were arriving from behind, causing chaos as they turned to respond. Seizing the opportunity, the villagers launched a counterattack, encircling and overwhelming the Kuomintang Army, forcing them to retreat in disarray.
This battle not only secured the village but also significantly weakened the morale of the Kuomintang forces attempting to besiege it. They realized that the Underground Party was not easily intimidated, and that this Transportation Line was well-defended and capable of swift responses.
After several days of arduous maneuvering, the Kuomintang's encirclement plan ultimately fell apart. The Underground Party Transportation Line remained intact, allowing supplies to be transported smoothly and crucial items to reach their destination on time. Lin Feng, with his wisdom and courage, turned the tide in this thrilling contest, making significant contributions to the American Side's efforts in the Anti-Japanese War. He understood that the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, but as long as everyone united in purpose, nothing could obstruct the dawn of victory from breaking through the gloom and illuminating all of China.
Following their failure in blocking the Transportation Line, the Kuomintang did not relent; instead, they became even more furious and launched a more frenzied retaliation against Lin Feng and the Underground Party Transportation Line. They dispatched additional troops, expanded their search range, and even resorted to using Wang Wei Intelligence Agency in an attempt to infiltrate and sabotage from all angles, vowing to uproot the Underground Party Transportation Line entirely.
Upon learning this news, Lin Feng recognized that the situation had become increasingly dire. However, he did not waver; instead, he calmly analyzed the current circumstances. He believed that although the enemy appeared formidable, they were not united internally. There were numerous conflicts and interests among various units within both Wang Wei Intelligence Agency and the military. If exploited wisely, there might be another opportunity to find a way to defeat them.
On one hand, he continued to closely monitor Kuomintang Army movements by collecting intelligence through informants embedded within enemy ranks; on the other hand, he began working on sowing discord within their ranks. Utilizing his connections with American Side and his understanding of internal dynamics within the Kuomintang, Lin Feng deliberately spread rumors among some officers that their recent failure in encirclement was due to someone leaking operational intelligence to the Underground Party.
This rumor acted like a bombshell within the Kuomintang Army. Officers began to distrust one another and blame each other for their lack of unity. Some officers eager for self-preservation started to slack off in their duties and even intentionally delayed progress on their encirclement operations.
Additionally, Lin Feng discovered that there were significant discrepancies between command authority among Kuomintang Agents and local Garrison officers. The Agents believed they were professionals entitled to control the entire encirclement operation's tempo while Garrison officers insisted it was a military action that should be dictated by them. This led to constant arguments between both sides, deepening their conflicts.
Lin Feng decided to exploit this discord further by stoking tensions. He forged documents designed for Garrison officers to find; these documents appeared to be reports from Wang Wei Intelligence Agency criticizing Garrison's ineffective performance during the encirclement operation and attempting to shift all blame onto them. Upon seeing these documents, Garrison officers were infuriated and immediately confronted the Agents.
"What do you Wang Wei Intelligence Agency think you are? Always scheming behind our backs while we fight for our lives on the front lines! And now you want to shirk responsibility!" shouted one Garrison officer in anger.
The Agents retorted defiantly: "Hmph! If it weren't for your incompetence, the Transportation Line would have been cut off long ago! And now you blame us!"
