under fire

Chapter 1019 Know the enemy
In the middle of the night, guns rang out in the mountain stream.

At dawn, including the battalion commander surnamed Hu, several Tubalus were poking their heads around the cliff to observe, muttering from time to time.

The platoon leader Gao was a little nervous, the sergeant didn't come back to meet up at the agreed time, because there was one less person in his team!

Fortunately, Tuba seems to have no intention of counting the number of people at all.

Seeing that the leading Tuba Road had already been pulled out, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

The Eighth Road named Big Dog was yelling on the side of the road: "You prisoners, you can't eat our food for free! These ten bicycles are yours to carry!"

Platoon Leader Gao saw that there were still ten bicycles left on the ground, and immediately understood that they were definitely for himself.

Without waiting for the big dog to arrange, he took the initiative to step forward: "Then let's carry ten cars too."

Big Dog had a thankful smile on his face: "The platoon leader Gao is really considerate."

"Where are you, you will have to rely on Platoon Leader Tang in the future"

Suddenly, there was a faint rumbling sound in the sky.

Don't think about it, the devils are attacking the friendly forces in the south.

The big dog turned its head and pricked up its ears, and looked up to the south like everyone on the mountain ridge.

Nothing can be seen except the rolling hills.

Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound became denser.

After listening for a while, the big dog ignored the tall platoon leader who was carrying the bicycle on his shoulders, and turned to look at Wang Xiaosan who had just finished eating next to him: "Hey, why don't you put away the pot. Can you move faster?"

Wang Xiaosan ignored the continuous explosions in the sky, and glanced at the tall platoon leader next to the big dog, with a strange expression on his face: "Mind your own business."

The team finally hit the road.

The long team was walking on the mountain ridge, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten the gunfire in the mountain stream last night.

Go down the mountain ridge, and then go up the mountain ridge.

The shining white sun rose to a higher height.

A village appeared on the mountainside.

Hu Yi took Luo Fugui and a squad of soldiers around the village and followed the trail to the mountain behind the village to observe.

Under the big tree in the small grain drying field outside the village, I followed behind the pioneers to Xiao Zhui'er, who was pouring water into his mouth with a kettle.

Sitting next to Xiao Zhui'er, Wang Yinzhi frowned, staring at the familiar village in a daze.

Xu Xiaomei, who stayed with her, was enthusiastically leading the big dog who followed behind and a squad of soldiers into the village.

The group wandered around the village, the big dog relaxed his tense nerves, and asked Xu Xiaomei, who was leading the way, "Hey, what's the matter?"

Xu Xiaomei looked proud: "We got the news that the people in the base area have been transferred in advance!"

"Didn't you say that there are people left in every village?"

Xu Xiaomei's smile froze: "They are staying. Maybe they went to work on the mountain."

It didn't take much time for the conference, and the brigade arrived behind.

The team stopped for a temporary rest.

Look at the village without any anger.

The battalion commander and Luo Fugui were not seen, and Li Xiang didn't seem to give the order to enter the village.

Ordinary soldiers who didn't know the situation finally realized that something was wrong.

A veteran sitting on the ground muttered to the squad leader next to him: "I said, there are devils raiding outside the mountain. This area belongs to the joint area between friendly forces and base areas. Why can't anyone see it?"

The squad leader didn't hesitate: "Maybe I know that the devils are going to mop up again, so I've moved ahead of time."

The veteran shook his head: "It stands to reason that even though there is a severe drought in the plains and water shortage in the mountains, the situation is much better than in the plains. The devils did not go into the mountains during the spring raids, so the common people would not all run away."

The squad leader gave this one a blank look: "What do you want to say?"

The veteran lowered his voice: "When we set off, you told everyone not to talk about the gunshots last night. Is there something wrong?"

The squad leader immediately became serious: "Don't you know discipline? Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

The veteran was also unambiguous: "Oh, if I hadn't recovered from my injuries during the reorganization, it would not be your turn to be the squad leader."

The squad leader hesitated for a moment and muttered: "Don't talk nonsense, just follow the battalion commander's arrangement."

The old soldier's eyes lit up: "This is more or less the same."

Ridgetop.

Luo Fugui stared intently at the footprints on the ground and muttered: "Boss Hu, I said, are you suffering from a demonic disease... Staring at these footprints all day long?"

Hu Yi looked away from the footprints on the edge of the cliff: "There is no trace of hands in the village, and now there is only this possibility..."

"What is possible?"

"The enemy forced the eyeliners arranged by the guerrillas in the village here, killed them in the end, and threw their bodies off the cliff, so there were no traces left."

Luo Fugui's expression changed: "You have to know that the result is still easy, so why not arrange two people to go down and have a look?"

Hu Yi shook his head: "The purpose of the devil is to cut off the connection between us and the base area."

"I don't think this is possible. The more we go to the base, the more people there will be. It's impossible for the little devil to kill all the people in the mountain, right?"

"The enemy is in the mountain stream, and the enemy is always walking in front of us!" Hu Yi turned his head and looked around the terrain: "Go back immediately, find a place to hide the bicycle and other unimportant things, and march northward after dark! "

"What if there is an enemy blocking it?"

"If we wanted to stop them, we would have stopped them a long time ago. The devils deliberately asked us to go back to the base area. Most likely they wanted to find a place to surround us, and then surround us to fight for help!"

"Didn't you say that the devil's target is the secret service?"

"If most of our troops in the mountains are attracted to this area by the devils, then our internal defense will be empty, and the little devils' advance team will probably take advantage of this loophole to launch another surprise attack on the headquarters or even the division headquarters."

"The little devil is so powerful, does he need to twist his intestines?"

"What do you think, if the devils attack the headquarters or the division headquarters, will the secret service group definitely have to defend them?"

"No, isn't the devil aggressively attacking friendly troops? How can he have so many troops?"

Hu Yi shook his head: "You should know the situation in the division. If we have hidden enemy eyeliners inside us, the devil's plan is likely to succeed."

"Boss Hu, I think you are thinking too much?"

What Hu Yi said to Luo Fu was not to ask Luo Fugui to make any suggestions, but to think alone, and it is easy to get into a dead end.

The Ninth Battalion was just a bait. They deliberately surrounded the Ninth Battalion and asked the superiors to arrange reinforcements for the rescue. In fact, it was to adjust the strength of the base to the south.

If at this time, the advance team is used to make a surprise attack, it will completely catch the division headquarters by surprise.

It seems that the little devil succeeded in raiding the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, but he was unwilling to miss the attack on the division headquarters one after another.

On the surface, it was to seek revenge from the secret service regiment, but in fact it still aimed at the division headquarters.

In this way, as long as the friendly forces in the south are wiped out, there will be no large-scale anti-Japanese troops in the entire North China Plain east of the Taihang Mountains and north of the Yellow River.

North China will fall completely.

It is almost impossible for the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas to make another big wave.

The Ninth Battalion was actually irrelevant to the whole battle situation. The Ninth Battalion entered the mountain from the plain, but it just happened to hit the devil's muzzle.

After trying to understand this level, he finally deduced the general plan of the enemy, and immediately ordered Luo Fugui: "Go!"

Luo Fugui saw that Hu Yi's aura seemed to be different from before: "Boss Hu, do you have a solution?"

Hu Yi didn't look back: "Go back to the village and ask the two guerrillas!"

A group of people on the mountain ridge immediately slipped to the village below.

The ridge is far away.

In an inconspicuous stone crevice, the three short figures huddled together finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This group of eight roads is a bit interesting."
