Afterwards, the group walked on the way back to Qinggang Village.
Bon Voyage!
Because there were 300 prisoners of war, which was a large number, for the sake of safety, Shen Quan deliberately led the team in a circle when returning.
At this moment, when we were still seven or eight kilometers away from Qinggang Village, a reconnaissance soldier who was riding ahead rushed back to report the situation.
Shen Quan asked: "How is the situation?"
The reconnaissance soldier replied: "Report to the leader, there is no danger ahead!"
"Okay, pass on the order, everyone speed up the pace. Try to get back to Qinggang Village in an hour."
While walking, Shen Quan suddenly stopped and looked at the car tracks on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Dabiao immediately informed the soldiers to scatter on both sides and hide, and asked: "Captain, what's going on?"
Shen Quan did not answer Zhang Dabiao immediately, but continued to look forward along the path of the car. After a long time, he slowly murmured to himself: "It seems that God is really good to me. He knows that the new group of weapons and ammunition are insufficient. A transportation team was sent to deliver equipment to me.”
Hearing what Shen Quan said, Xue Min and others also squatted down and carefully checked the car tracks in the mud.
Xue Min wondered: "Captain Shen, why do you think this car's trajectory is a Japanese transport vehicle?"
Shen Quan smiled confidently and explained: "If it were an ordinary passenger car, the tire tracks would not be so deep, so we can be sure that the Japanese car must be pulling something very heavy."
"Of course, besides this reason, there is another reason.
If you look carefully at the footprints near the car's trajectory, it shows that a large number of Japanese soldiers were following behind the car.
If the Japanese are moving forward quickly, their steps will generally be very neat.
But if you look at these footprints, they are very messy, which can only mean one thing, that is, when the heavy guy pulled by the Japanese car reached this section of mud, it was difficult, so the Japanese needed help from behind. "
After saying that, Shen Quan stood up and looked around along the car's trajectory, and then said: "Based on the trajectory left by the car, I judge that these transporting devils have not gone far."
Zhang Dabiao and Monk Wei listened in confusion, but Xue Min, who was confused at first, understood what Shen Quan meant.
So much useful information can be obtained through a small detail, and Monk Wei's admiration for Shen Quan became even more profound.
Xue Min couldn't help but ask: "So Commander Shen wants to take these prisoners of war to eat the Japanese transport team?"
Chen Quan said confidently: "Although the prisoners of war have no weapons, come on, I brought a carefully selected company with me this time.
A company equipped with German MP submachine guns can eat up a Japanese transport team. This deal is a sure profit! "
After that, Shen Quan waved his hand and called Zhang Dabiao to him and said: "Dabiao, take a few brothers and ride on horseback and follow them on the left side of the road to see how far away the Japanese transport team is from us. Once it exceeds two kilometers, , we have no choice but to give up.”
Shen Quan did not dare to move forward rashly. After all, no one knew whether he would encounter Japanese soldiers ahead.
"Yes, commander!" After receiving the order, Zhang Dabiao immediately picked a few soldiers and secretly followed them on fast horses.
The large troops were resting on the left and right sides of the road, waiting for information.
About twenty minutes later.
Zhang Dabiao came back with his men and gasped: "Captain, you were right. There is a Japanese transport team about 1.5 kilometers in front of us.
Their truck was stuck in the mud, and now the Japs were trying to figure it out. "
Shen Quan was overjoyed that there was indeed a transport team ahead, and quickly asked: "What is the configuration of this transport team, and can we fight?"
Zhang Dabiaohui reported: “This Japanese transport team has a total of five large trucks, and it was too dark to see clearly what was on the truck.
The Japanese troops responsible for transportation were probably a full squad and a company of puppet troops. They had no heavy firepower and only two light machine guns! "
A full Japanese team has about 50 people, while a puppet company usually has 120 people.
In other words, there are 170 Japanese troops responsible for transportation.
Such a force was not simple, and Shen Quan could see from this that the truck was definitely pulling good things.
