Outside the secret camp, there was a clear sky.
In the blue sky, the winter sun is like a light bulb, with only brightness but no temperature.
Last night, there had just been a heavy snowfall here in Mudanjiang, so the entire mountain forest was completely white at first glance.
And in this pure white scene, a thick black smoke rose from the mountain in the distance.
On a windless day, the black smoke rose straight and high, like a black sky pole.
Very eye-catching.
So when Shao Jianbo and the others walked out of the barracks, they saw it at a glance.
Although other people in the team did not realize that Lu Feng had set up his sentry position outside, they also realized that something was wrong when they saw such a large smoke column.
Immediately, everyone began to organize their equipment and prepare for what might happen next.
Lu Feng looked at the smoke column and frowned.
According to his agreement with Yu Manli, only when the situation is very serious, he will use a smoke pillar to notify him.
Because this signal not only reminds oneself, but also informs the enemy.
Lu Feng knew that Yu Manli was not the kind of little girl who had never seen the world. Dozens or hundreds of Japanese and puppet soldiers would not let her use such methods.
It can only mean that there are many enemies coming this time.
Upon learning of this situation, Gao Bo, a communications soldier, immediately turned on the radio and tried to contact the Anti-Japanese Alliance to ask if the other party knew the current situation.
Shao Jianbo roughly estimated that the smoking hilltop was two or three miles away from them.
Bai Ye actually arranged the sentry post so far away?
Doesn't that mean that for a while, they couldn't even see the enemy's shadow?
In this case, whether it is engaging in battle or transferring, there will be enough time to respond.
Immediately, Shao Jianbo recorded such an operation in his mind, and he decided to place several long-distance lookout posts around the station in the future.
While Shao Jianbo was thinking, Gao Bo also came out and told Lu Feng that because it was not the agreed communication time, his several calls did not receive a response from the Anti-League side.
"Longlegs, come with me and go to the front to investigate the situation."
"yes."
Lu Feng gave the order, and Long Legs led the horse over. He and Lu Feng, one by one, galloped towards the direction of the smoke column.
The snow is flying all the way.
Three passes into the mountain pass.
Because the mountain road is difficult to navigate, Colonel Ye Lin and his car can only park here. The team will search into the mountain on foot or by bicycle.
"Your Majesty Colonel, there is a situation!"
Ye Lin, who had just gotten off the car and was about to mount his horse, suddenly heard the shouts of his communications soldiers.
He followed the signal soldier's direction and soon spotted the smoke column on the hilltop in the distance.
It is so eye-catching under the clear blue sky.
He raised the telescope on his neck and looked over there. Except for the smoke column, Colonel Ye Lin saw nothing. The top of the mountain was all white and covered with dead trees covered with snow.
"It seems that the enemy already knows that we are coming."
Iwata Fumio looked a little serious.
But Colonel Ye Lin was very excited.
"This is a good thing, it means the enemy is indeed here!"
Years of experience in fighting with the Anti-Japanese Alliance made Colonel Ye Lin clearly realize that the Anti-Japanese Alliance personnel, weapons and equipment are very scarce.
They can only rely on extremely stealthy methods such as surprise attacks and sneak attacks to cause harm to the imperial army.
Once the other party is exposed, there won't be much of a threat.
In terms of frontal combat, no one in East Asia is currently an opponent of the imperial army.
"Everyone, form an attack formation and search forward!"
Following Colonel Ye Lin's order, thousands of Japanese troops poured into the mountains and forests like a tide.
Afterwards, they dispersed into small teams, began to cover alternately, and searched towards the mountains.
On the vast snow-covered ground, a striking black line was like a big net, covering the secret camp where Lu Feng and the others were.
On the nameless hilltop, Yu Manli used a telescope to look at the Japanese troops at the pass, and recorded the size and number of these Japanese troops bit by bit.
Originally, according to Lu Feng's order, she only needed to sound the alarm and leave in time to the receiving place.
But when she saw the mighty Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain, Yu Manli stopped leaving.
She felt that she should be able to play more roles.
"boom"
Gunshots were heard not far away.
This is a Japanese search team, attacking towards the top of the mountain where Yu Manli is.
Looking at the almost full pages in her hand, Yu Manli was ready to retreat.
She kept in mind what Lu Feng said: Only by preserving yourself can you better destroy the enemy.
If the information cannot be given to Lu Feng, it will be useless no matter how detailed it is.
But just when Yu Manli was about to leave, she noticed something unusual about the Japanese soldiers on a truck at the foot of the mountain.
It seemed that even the Japanese army was afraid of the people in that car.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Manli stayed for a while longer.
After seeing Takashima Masao and the Japanese soldiers in strange attire carrying a large box out of the car, she hurriedly left the mountain and rushed towards the agreed upon meeting point.
Before Manli could even reach her destination, she saw two galloping horses heading towards her.
She subconsciously hid behind a big tree. After seeing clearly who was about to arrive, Yu Manli stood up and waved to Lu Feng.
"wait for me here."
Lu Feng stopped his long legs and rode his horse to Yu Manli's side.
He first put a face scarf on Yu Manli, and then asked angrily:
"Didn't I tell you to retreat immediately after sending the signal? What are you still doing here?"
"This, information."
Yu Manli lowered her head and handed over her small notebook.
Lu Feng suppressed all his anger.
Looking at the clearly remembered Japanese military intelligence on the page, Lu Feng helplessly grabbed Yu Manli behind him.
"Don't take such a risk next time, safety first."
"knew."
Later, Lu Feng rode his horse and came to Long Legs.
"Let's go back first."
Now that Yu Manli has detected specific information about the Japanese army, they don't need to investigate anything more.
Time is urgent, so it’s better to go back and discuss the response strategy with everyone.
Long Legs looked at Yu Manli behind Lu Feng with some curiosity. He could naturally tell that Yu Manli was a girl.
The guard post arranged by Comrade Bai Ye is a woman?
Long Legs wanted to ask a few questions, but he also knew that now was not the time for gossip.
"yes."
With a nod, the two of them pinched the horse's belly and headed back the way they came.
