When it was getting dark, two detective team members emerged from the village and rode their bicycles on the road for a stroll, blowing a whistle from time to time, and the sharp sound resounded through the wilderness.
After a long while, a lazy group of detectives wandered out of the village.
Immediately afterwards, two motorcycles appeared one after another, followed by a mopping up puppet army team, and a large group of people slowly poured out of the wilderness onto the road.
The villagers peeked out from the crack in the door. They finally breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to go out. They stood in the yard to inquire about each other's news: "These days, damn... they sleep during the day and go out at night. Most of them are night raiders!"
"What else are you complaining about? Didn't you see that the Imperial Army led the Imperial Association Army and the reconnaissance team? They didn't disturb the people this time, and they didn't steal anything?"
"Did...the Imperial Army change their gender?"
"No way, how can a dog change to eat shit?"
"Don't talk nonsense...be careful of trouble coming from your mouth..."
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that they didn't even rush us to gather at the entrance of the village."
"Hey, are you addicted because the imperial army rushed you to gather at the entrance of the village?"
"Shit, I saw them draining all the well water in the village!"
"That's not right. Didn't Ergoudan go to report something to the imperial army? Why didn't he come back?"
"That white-eyed wolf might have offended Taijun and was buried alive!"
"..."
On the road outside the village.
The first two detectives rode their bicycles straight towards the turret on the east road.
More than a mile behind them, two motorcycles were following, rumbling and smoking.
Behind the motorcycle, a large group of puppet soldiers trotted excitedly in the rising dust, not caring about the choking smell of engine oil in the gasoline exhaust.
On the slow motorcycle, two Imperial Army drivers, one in front and one behind, were arguing: "Hu, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. Why...are you scared?" Hu Yi responded calmly as he closed the accelerator of his motorcycle.
Marching in broad daylight, Gao Yidao, who is as brave as the sky, is also a little frightened: "If we are not careful, our whole army will be wiped out! Most of my second company's family fortune is here, you are here in the ninth company and the fifth company is here." , six or seven cloves of rotten garlic, don’t stand and talk without your back hurting.”
While Gao Yidao was speaking, the motorcycle failed to stop in a hurry and directly hit Hu Yi's motorcycle in front, making a clang.
Gao Yidao's motorcycle stalled.
The girl who was having fun in the car in front was almost knocked out of the car. She sat firmly and turned around to curse: "You bastard named Gao, do you know how to ride? It's so embarrassing..."
Gao Yidao ignored the girl, jumped off the motorcycle with heartache, and looked around, feeling...it shouldn't be serious.
Gao Yidao stepped on the motorcycle for the first time. Lao Li next to him saw this and jumped into the car: "Hey, Lao Li, where is the appointment for the pick-up person?"
"The Japanese raids were so severe that most of our people were temporarily dormant. Only the important comrades, the traffic officers, were still working at the risk of being exposed. Ergoudan from the village had already gone to the east to find our people and made an appointment. We will meet at the railway company, so you can rest assured."
The platoon leader behind Gao Yidao interjected: "Company commander, there are so many of us, there are scouts in front of us, and we are marching at night. As long as we don't encounter the Japanese brigade, what are we afraid of?"
"You know nothing, this is a traffic artery, what should we do if we encounter a Japanese car?"
"Hey, if there are only one or two Japs cars, wouldn't we just practice our skills again? If we encounter a large group of Japs, can't we just lift the motorcycles off the roadbed and run away?"
"It sounds like you can drive..."
"We can learn if we don't know how. I've heard that the new student in our company can drive!"
"What? Why didn't I hear about it?"
"Company Commander, you have been busy studying in the regiment during this time. Besides, our company does not have a car, so it is useless to tell you."
Gao Yidao shook his head: "Cars are of no use to us at the moment. We can't risk our lives for these unrealistic things. Do you understand?"
"Hey, I just think that the Ninth Company and the others can even deal with armored vehicles! I can't swallow this..."
Lao Li next to him was stunned: "Anyone in the Ninth Company knows how to drive?"
The platoon leader replied: "Except for Company Commander Hu and Ma Liang, no one else should be able to do it."
Gao Yidao saw Hu Yi running faster and faster in front of him, so he stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle almost tilted up: "Don't talk to me, I almost drove into the ditch again."
The platoon leader was worried from behind: "Don't squeeze so tightly, just be able to hold on a little."
"Go away, it's like you're better than me."
The platoon leader cautiously suggested: "How about you let me try and you can rest on the road?"
"Well, okay, let's wait until we get past the turret in front." Gao Yi agreed wholeheartedly. How can you rest assured if you don't hold the handle of this thing tightly? I kept shaking, and as time passed, my arms became more sore than if I had been practicing bayonet for a day.
Ma Liang of the Jiulian Company returned to the base with a soldier from the first squad, leaving Hu Yi, Yatou, Luo Fugui, Li Xiang, Tang Dagou and his two followers.
Except for the girl, everyone on the motorcycle was dressed in Japanese style.
It's just that Luo Fugui's body looks awkward in a Japanese military uniform.
The black-clothed reconnaissance team were elite soldiers selected from the second company.
The two artillery towers that were captured were left with two second company soldiers respectively. As for their identities, Gao Yidao arranged for someone to negotiate with the pseudo-company commander, so there shouldn't be any problems.
There were only six Tomosaka rifles seized, more than 700 bullets, and 18 grenades. Basically, only two of the other grenades could be lost.
Nearly 600 bullets were collected from the two gun towers. The number of bullets was a bit low. The soldiers of the first company had less than ten bullets on average. The second company was slightly better, with only more than 20 people. There were more than 30 shell guns in total, and the average number of bullets per person was less than 20. , If there is a big battle, I will never be able to fight it!
The pseudo-military uniforms were actually warmer than cotton-padded clothes, and they were dressed in khaki, which did not affect the soldiers' excitement at all.
The vanguard looked at the railway ahead with wide eyes.
Not far from the intersection, a gun tower stands on a slope.
Luo Fugui pulled out the flashlight and wrapped the lamp head with a cloth. After a flash, Hu Yi put the pocket watch into his pocket: two thirty in the morning.
Kuai Legs, who was in charge of liaison, ran back on his bicycle: "Report, the forward soldiers have approached the blockade ditch near the railway and the gun towers. Should we pretend to be puppet troops and take down the gun towers?"
Perhaps it was because two gun towers were carried out in succession under the command of Hu Yi, Kuaiji felt that it shouldn't be difficult to take down the gun towers... it seemed...
Lao Li, who was in Gao Yidao's carriage, jumped off his motorcycle and was a little nervous: "I'm going to go around to find the comrades who are responding. Why don't you guys get off the road and find a place to wait?"
Just as Gao Yidao was about to agree, Hu Yi frowned and interrupted in the darkness: "The situation is not quite right..."
Lao Li, who was about to take a detour, was stunned for a moment: "Company Commander Hu...what do you mean?"
Hu Yi looked at the enemy patrol with torches on the railway line in the distance: "We came all the way and didn't encounter a single person in front of us. Don't you think it's strange..."
Lao Li hesitated for a moment: "The enemy is conducting a large-scale raid. We didn't meet anyone in the middle of the night. This...isn't surprising, right?"
Gao Yidao will be able to support Hu Yi in other matters. Now that all his belongings are here, what the person named Hu seems to make sense. It is better to be careful about this matter: "Hu Yi, what do you mean?"
Hu Yi had no choice but to analyze it carefully: "Think about it, it's understandable that during the puppet army's sweep, no ordinary people showed up on such a big road, but if we didn't even encounter a single traitor from the detective team, is this still normal?"
If something happens to so many people, you can imagine how serious the consequences will be!
Lao Li broke out in a cold sweat, his hands and feet were a little weak, and he was a little confused. He trembled and asked Hu Yi: "You mean...we have been betrayed?"
Gao Yidao, who was next to him, also immediately came to his senses: "According to you, if nothing else happens, the enemy has an ambush?"
Hu Yi carefully recalled the details: "Let's analyze it first. If there is really an ambush, then it is nothing more than a rebellion by the intelligence personnel. Furthermore, it may be that someone in our team deliberately leaked the whereabouts..."
Gao Yidao was a little unhappy when he said that there were spies in his team: "I think... it is also possible that when we came over, our whereabouts were discovered by the enemy..."
Hu Yi shook his head and did not directly refute Gao Yidao's judgment. He continued to analyze: "We disguised ourselves as Japanese soldiers, puppet troops, and reconnaissance teams, a standard raiding team. We have been traveling day and night for the past two days. The enemy has only set up a team now." To ambush us, it means... the enemy didn't get the news very long!"
Gao Yidao wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason, so he had to follow Hu Yi's thinking: "According to what you said, the enemy may have set up an ambush!"
Hu Yi nodded, thought for a while, and made a judgment: "Our military uniforms are similar to those of the enemy. It is impossible to identify ourselves and the enemy during a firefight in the dark. The enemy should also have a headache, so they have to dig a hole in a better place to wait for us. If If nothing else, the Japs should be ambushing near the railway line!"
"It's true. Why do you say that?"
"It's very simple. The railway line is so long. It's impossible for the Japanese to send people to block the entire railway. But no matter where we cross the railway line, they can use the armored vehicles on the railway to maneuver quickly."
Gao Yidao felt that there was no need to think so much. No matter how much he said, he had to face this matter: "It's not the first time we have crossed the railway line. If the enemy has an ambush, won't we know if we test it?"
