Following the path, Lu Feng and the two long-legged bay-red horses quickly crossed the hillsides and ravines covered with fresh snow.
Leaving a trail of clearly visible footprints.
Lu Feng glanced back. He knew that the little devil would soon find this series of obvious footprints and follow them all the way.
This is the bad thing about fresh snow, it leaves traces wherever it passes.
The next actions of Lu Feng and his team will definitely be affected by this.
After thinking about it, Lu Feng threw the book written by Yu Manli to Long Legs and asked him to report the information to Shao Jianbo and the others first.
And he himself got off the horse, stepped on a horse's hoofprint and started to flip.
Under Yu Manli's gaze, Lu Feng spent more than ten minutes digging holes with his bare hands that were as big as the mouth of a bowl and about a foot deep in the frozen black soil of the Northeast.
They were so densely packed that they almost covered this slightly smooth road.
In addition to horse pits, Lu Feng also planted several simple trip mines made with grenades next to several potholes.
Then, Lu Feng spread dead branches and leaves on top and covered it with a layer of snowflakes.
After sweeping it evenly, the ground will not look much different from the surrounding area.
After doing all this, Lu Feng shook his hands that were red from the cold, mounted his horse and set off again.
On the top of the smoking hill, the Japanese troops of the search team had found the source of the smoke. After extinguishing the fireworks, they began to look for useful clues around them.
It didn't take long for someone to discover the footprints left by Yu Manli when she left. After a simple call to communicate, several groups of Japanese soldiers began to move closer in this direction to outflank her.
Following the footprints on the ground, the Japanese captain quickly found the place where Yu Manli and Lu Feng met.
After simply looking at the messy footprints on the ground, the Japanese captain immediately judged that the opponent only had two riders.
Looking at the horse hoof prints that continued to extend deep into the mountains, the Japanese captain knew that they would definitely not be able to catch up with each other with just two legs.
So he immediately asked the communications troops to use semaphores and report the situation one by one to Colonel Yebayashi and others in the rear.
At Sandaoguan Pass, Japanese military vehicles formed a simple ring fortification, and Colonel Nobayashi and Lieutenant Colonel Iwata set up their temporary headquarters inside this fortification.
As intelligence came from the front, a team of cavalry quickly assembled at the Japanese temporary headquarters.
Dozens of fast horses carrying heavily armed Japs left the camp in a mighty manner and galloped towards the place where Lu Feng and the others' footprints were found.
At the secret camp, when Lu Feng and Yu Manli arrived, Shao Jianbo and the others had already packed their bags. Everyone had their guns in hand, loaded the ammunition, and were ready to go into battle at any time.
"We have just contacted the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and they have just received intelligence from the enemy's engineering department, saying that a large group of Japanese soldiers just arrived in Mudanjiang from Bingcheng yesterday.
But no one expected that these Japs would come directly towards us as soon as they arrived.
According to the intelligence of the Anti-League, in addition to the three passes in front of us, the Japanese and puppet troops on the Erdao River behind us have also taken action. It seems that their posture is blocking our retreat. "
As soon as he dismounted, Lu Feng heard bad news from Shao Jianbo.
By mobilizing their troops like this, the Japanese definitely had control of their camp location.
At this moment, Gao Bo ran over from the radio station and said:
"Captain Tian and others said that the incident happened suddenly and they had no time to mobilize manpower, so we should find a way to hide it first.
It would be best to wait until night, after their people have gathered together, and then work together internally and externally to try to find a breakthrough. "
Lu Feng did not express his position when he heard this. He just took the page of specific information about the Japanese army written by Yu Manli from Shao Jianbo.
"A large group of Japanese troops, more than a thousand people. Equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons.
Well, the cannon was parked on the other side of the mountain pass and was not pulled in.
In other words, at most, the firepower is as strong as the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and it is difficult for them to fully deploy it in such mountainous and forested areas. "
A bunch of thoughts were tumbling in Lu Feng's mind.
If you were facing a large group of Japanese troops in an open plain or in a terrain like a city, Lu Feng would definitely avoid their sharp edges.
He knew very well that his current upper limit was, at best, a head-on confrontation with a platoon-level army.
Up to the company and battalion level, as long as the density of machine gun firepower increases and the power of artillery is sufficient, you can hit so hard that you can't even lift your head.
Therefore, it would be very difficult to lead Shao Jianbo and the others directly to break out of the encirclement, and they would easily fall into the encirclement.
But if it is the current combat environment, where the enemy troops are scattered in this vast mountain forest.
Thinking of the clear horse hoof prints along the way just now, Lu Feng felt that maybe he should fight like that.
"Captain, what do you mean?"
Shao Jianbo looked at Lu Feng without saying a word for a while, and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Comrade Bai Ye, don't you have any other ideas?
Lu Feng did not hesitate anymore, raised his head and looked at everyone in the team, and said:
"There are still four or five hours before dark. It only takes an hour or two at most for the Japs to reach us from the mountain pass. It has just stopped snowing. We can't hide by hiding alone. We have to fight."
"beat?"
Tank and the others were a little confused. Just a dozen or so of them were going to fight a Japanese army?
Captain, are you taking the wrong medicine?
"It's not a blind frontal attack."
Lu Feng pointed to the vast mountains and forests around him and said:
“Just follow what I have told you in the past two days, use a flexible method, use the characteristics we are familiar with in this area, conduct mobile operations, and make full use of various natural conditions as much as possible.
Otherwise, if we hide without fighting, once we are discovered by the enemy, we will be in a dangerous situation of being besieged. "
Shao Jianbo and others looked at the footprints on the ground and felt somewhat clear.
There were more than ten of them, but the traces were very obvious when they took action.
As for hiding, as far as they knew, there really wasn't any suitable place around here for a while.
"Then what do you want to do, Captain?"
Everyone was decisive. After agreeing with Lu Feng's opinion, they immediately asked about the specific arrangements for the next step.
"Well, first of all, we can't wait for the Japanese to come, we have to take the initiative now.
While the Japanese army has just entered the mountain, Ma Baojun, you and Tiezhu are in a team, and I am in a team. Let's go to the forefront to stop them first.
Remember, shoot once and move to another place, never stay in one place, and remember to set a trap after leaving. "
"clear!"
"Jianbo, take the tanks and the others and find a few more suitable places nearby to build some simple firepower fortifications.
The same principle applies. After a round of fighting, move immediately. Don't stay. Don't take advantage of the enemy's heavy firepower. Fight every step.
I, Ma Baojun and others will cooperate with you from the side and try to delay it until dark. "
"receive."
"Everyone, start moving."
"yes."
After arranging the task, Lu Feng replenished some weapons and ammunition in the secret camp, and also gave Yu Manli a Sanba Gai.
These days, Lu Feng and his team have won several battles. Although most of the loot they captured went to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they also left a lot of good things behind.
Not to mention anything else, there were three Type 96 light machine guns in the team, and even Gao Bo had a submachine gun.
As for the explosives, grenades and so on that Lu Feng asked for, there were even more.
Precisely because they had so many guys in their hands, Shao Jianbo and the others had no objections to Lu Feng's blocking plan.
Anti-Union fighters have never been afraid of fighting for their lives, they just lack enough weapons and equipment.
With so many guys at hand, even if you fight with your life, you can kill a lot of little devils.
What else is there to be afraid of?
Killing one is enough to earn money, killing two is enough to make money!
Lu Feng and Yu Manli set off with a large bag of explosives and grenades.
Ma Baojun and Tiezhu, like Lu Feng, brought enough weapons and ammunition. They and Lu Feng wanted to harass the Japanese from two different directions and interfere with their sight.
After getting on their horses, the two of them rushed from another route towards the direction where the Japanese entered the mountain.
It’s been a blast all the way.
