The early autumn evening was still sultry, and apart from the bleak villages and dry weeds in the wild, there was almost no human smoke on the plain.
Village entrance.
The Second and Ninth Companies began to assemble and hitch their carriages.
Sentinels disguised as reconnaissance teams were placed in a large circle five miles away around the village. The sentinels had already set out to find cover near the railway to observe the enemy's situation.
There were not many people on the plain. In order to keep it secret, the few households left in the village were temporarily under the custody of the militia. A large group of people made preparations. The departure time was set at ten o'clock after dark, and it was planned to take about two hours. , arrived near the railway line near midnight, and took advantage of the late night moonlight to cross the railway line in batches.
It has to be said that Lao Zhou is not only good at mass work, but also an expert at ideological work. He gave two female students a chance to talk. After only an hour, the two excited lesbians had already entered the second company.
The Second Company, which had been waiting, almost imitated the Ninth Company and used a stretcher to carry the two newly joined comrades away.
There are three motorcycles in the Erlian station, and now the surname has been changed to Jiu. As for what agreement Gao Yidao and Hu Yi reached, apart from the two parties involved, probably only the little girl knows.
There are many new recruits in Erlianjiu's team, and no one knows whether there are any Japanese spies among them.
Hu Yi's idea is very simple. The Ninth Company is very far away from the security group station. As long as his soldiers are still in the team, even if there are spies, there is no way to pass the news out!
However, he still made arrangements for the entire company, with the old guarding the new. All recruits were not allowed to have bullets in their guns. Naturally, it was impossible to encounter the enemy on the plains. It made no difference whether there were bullets in the guns or not.
The team looked everywhere along the way, and so far, no one had escaped.
Most of the Ninth Company wore the uniforms of the security forces, and the recruits knew that they were joining the Eighth Route Army, which could reach heaven and earth! I was excited, disappointed, and worried, but I had to admit the fact that I participated in the Eighth Route Army.
As for now, don't even think about paying two yuan for travel expenses to send you back to your hometown.
The world is so chaotic. If you go into an enemy-occupied area alone, you will either be captured by the Japanese and used as coolies, or captured by the traitors and used as Eight Route Army soldiers to take credit. How can these recruits be willing to leave!
The special agent platoon wore the detective team clothes borrowed from the Ninth Company and set off first with Ma Liang in the afternoon.
The mission of the division's special agent platoon was to attack enemy officials as retaliation for the Japanese raids on the headquarters. However, it ended up that the Ninth Company, which acted out of common sense, supported the division by mistake, and finally killed a security army brigade commander. Even if it's just cooperation, the mission has been completed! It is inevitable to receive awards for meritorious service.
But for some unknown reason, Wang Liujin stayed in Jiulian and refused to leave, saying that he would have to kill a few Japanese who were advancing into the team to relieve his anger.
As a vanguard, this trip has an important task. The secret agent platoon must keep an eye on the Ninth and Second Company and clear out all possible dangers on the road. If they really encounter something that they are not careful about, Hu Yi's suggestion is to dig a hole and bury it. .
A large-scale troop transfer is highly likely to be discovered by the enemy's informants placed in various villages. Therefore, the three villages along the way were directly surrounded by the special agent platoon and the vanguard troops led by Ma Liang. Even if there were traitors who wanted to report to the Japanese No chance either.
The only thing we have to guard against is a traitor shooting in the village. However, with the traitor's clothes there, the traitor will most likely fall into a trap if he wants to report the news.
It finally got dark.
Sitting at the broken table, Hu Yi took out his pocket watch and felt the warm rhythm: eight o'clock.
The Ninth Company took the lead.
A team of several hundred people, organized in platoons, left the village and approached the railway line. The journey was more than ten miles, and even if they were driving large vehicles, the rush march would only take about an hour at most.
⋯
It is about 500 meters away from the railway.
Two black figures kept observing the railway ahead.
"Have you remembered? In about half an hour, an armored vehicle will drive by the railway."
"You've been nagging all day, can I remember it?" Another dark figure replied: "Every fifteen minutes, a group of Japanese patrols wander along the railway, walking from one blockhouse to the next along the railway.
"Hehe, I just think this thing is really accurate!" Another black shadow said with a smile.
"Isn't it just a pocket watch? It's not yours. You're so proud of it."
"Why hasn't the platoon leader come yet?"
"It's probably going to be soon. It's been dark for a while."
Half an hour later.
Wang Liujin touched the two black figures and asked, "How is the situation?"
"There is a hidden whistle on the dirt bag over the railway!" A dark figure pointed at the dirt bag in the distance.
"Did you read that correctly?"
"It's definitely true. Two Japanese soldiers came down from the mountain before dark, and then two more from the patrol team went to the mountain. It's absolutely true!"
"How far apart are these sentinels?"
"It's about a mile or so away."
"This is troublesome." Wang Liujin scratched his head.
After crossing the railway, you will enter a hilly area with a gentle slope. The soil bag is on the opposite side of the railway. If you go directly, you will definitely be discovered by the enemy's hidden sentry.
Wang Liujin frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with an idea, so he had to ask: "You have been here for a day, have you thought of any way to cross the railway and kill those hidden sentries?"
The lying soldier shook his head: "If the sentry hadn't dozed off, we would have been basically exposed as soon as we got on the railway!"
"What if...we disguise ourselves as a patrol?" Wang Liujin refused to give up.
"Patrols pass by almost every fifteen minutes. They only walk along the railway. Why are we pretending to be there?"
Wang Liujin was stunned for a moment: "How do you know it's fifteen minutes?"
"Platoon leader Ma Liang lent me a watch. He said he wanted us to remember the time every time the armored vehicles and patrols on the railway passed by!"
While he was talking, the lights of an armored car on the railway appeared from the north, and the clanging sound came from far away.
"When did you learn to read a watch?"
"Hehe, the girl taught me."
"You guys observe first." Wang Liujin was preoccupied and didn't ask any more questions.
Hu Yiqi was sitting on the ground and saw Wang Liujin running to him: "Captain Hu, the situation is not good. The enemy has set up a hidden sentry on the dirt bag opposite the railway! The Japanese also dug a blockade ditch along the railway, and every other A turret was also built about a mile away.”
"Is there a hidden sentry across the railway?"
"Yes, we will be discovered as soon as we get on the railway!"
Hu Yi raised his head and looked to the west. There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky. Under the dim night, the lights of armored vehicles on the distant railway kept swaying to both sides of the railway, making the earth look particularly peaceful.
"It's no problem to cross the blocked ditch, but it's a little troublesome to cross the railway," Wang Liujin added.
Hu Yi turned to look at the monkey in front of him: "Monkey, come with me to have a look."
The girl lying on the cart became interested and jumped down: "Fox, take me to see it too!"
Then, another bear followed, and behind the bear was a big dog wearing a military hat tilted to one side.
The blockhouses next to the railway are different from the general blockade trenches. The blockhouses next to the blockade trenches are surrounded by a barbed wire fence.
The suspension bridge that had been lowered during the day on the ditch had long been retracted, and the fire from the gun towers also revealed the light. There was a burst of noise from the gun towers, mixed with the laughter of the security forces and the Japanese, and the searchlights on the roof of the gun towers kept shaking along the railway line. .
Although the Japanese have developed a large number of security forces, it is still impossible to take care of all the railways.
Therefore, armored patrol vehicles were arranged as a deterrent, and security forces and Japanese soldiers were sent to patrol together to discourage those who thought about the railway.
As for those who want to cause damage, you should first weigh how many kilograms of flesh your small body has.
In fact, the secret sentry hiding on the soil bag really became the road rover on Jiulian's march to the west.
Hu Yi watched for a long time, and another patrol car drove past, and everyone quickly shrank their heads.
Using the armored vehicle's spotlight, Master Hu frowned and asked, "Monkey, are you sure you can touch it...without being discovered by the secret sentry on the other side?"
"The distance between the two turrets is too close, and there are wide areas on both sides of the railway. It's difficult." Monkey looked at the dark distance opposite under the hazy moonlight. He had no choice but to shake his head.
"Did I say you were stupid?" The girl next to her spoke up.
"Uh, do you have any idea?" Wang Liujin's eyes lit up.
"Auntie, of course there is a way." The girl shook her head proudly: "Which one do you want to listen to?"
