Chapter 721 Strength decides everything

Captain Yang led the work team to set off westward after dark, passing through two blockades in a row without incident.

At this time, more than a dozen members of the work team were hiding on a small soil slope east of the railway line, and their task was to meet the friendly troops of the independent regiment who came over.

Not long after arriving, groups of ghostly figures began to appear beside the railway.

The team members who dispersed their vigilance returned to report the situation one after another.

A soldier went up the hillside and lowered his voice: "Captain Yang, the situation is not good. The devils seem to be gathering. Did our actions leak the wind?"

Captain Yang has rich combat experience and has successfully performed the tasks of receiving and escorting arranged by his superiors many times.

But the task force has only such a small number of people, and the strength is there, and it is really tough in front of the enemy. Before encountering such a large-scale mobilization of the enemy, they have already moved hundreds of thousands of miles away.

At this time, the reinforcements from the Independent Regiment, who were worried about coming, had to continue to wait. Team Yang ordered the scouts: "Continue to scout!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head anxiously and asked Er Goudan next to him: "Are you sure you agreed to meet with the independent group here?"

Er Goudan originally planned to return to the west of the railway line to respond immediately after joining the work team, but he told Team Yang about the situation on the side of the independent regiment, and when he wanted to return, he found that the enemy had densely deployed defenses and could not pass the railway line at all, so he felt nervous : "It's true, so many enemies suddenly appeared at this time, could it be that I was discovered by the enemy when I crossed the blockade?"

Captain Yang shook his head: "Crap, the enemy will mobilize so many people to defend you alone?"

"Then you mean that there is a problem with the independent group?"

Captain Yang was so anxious that he didn't have time to analyze what went wrong with Er Goudan. He turned around and asked Deputy Captain Geng next to him: "Why hasn't the scout who went to the west of the railway line come back yet?"

Deputy Captain Geng immediately replied: "The devils have strengthened the railway blockade, and enemies are everywhere along the line. Now we can't get through. They can't come back!"

"Can't get through? Don't you know how to make a detour? The railway line is so long, I still don't believe that the enemy can fill this railway line with people."

Captain Geng shook his head and smiled wryly: "People have already been sent to detour, and people have been sent to the south and north for more than ten miles. If we send people again now, the situation will still be the same. Now wait for him to detour and come back to report the situation. It might be almost daylight."

"The troops sent by the independent regiment have rich combat experience, and they should be able to find the problem."

"What if they recklessly sneaked into the enemy's ambush circle?" Captain Geng always felt that this was a bit strange.

The person in charge of reconnaissance quickly ran to Gao Yidao, the team that got off the road: "Report, people from the two armed task forces of the division are coming from the south."

"What about people?"

"Excuse me. Who is the staff member of the Independent Regiment?" The two were panting heavily.

Gao Yidao had a black thread on his head, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and growled under the moonlight: "Hu Za, Staff Officer Hu, someone is looking for you!"

Hu Yi walked up to the team member under the moonlight: "What's going on?"

When the captain took us to the east of the railway line, we found the intelligence agent of the connector, and then found that the enemy had gathered on a large scale. Captain Yang and the others were stopped on the east side of the blockade line and could not get through.
Hu Yi frowned deeply: "Did you come from the south or the north?"

In the south, there were not many enemies when we first came here
Hu Yi turned his head to look at Gao Yidao under the moonlight: "Hurry up and bury the motorcycle, let's move north immediately and find the enemy's weak point to cross the railway line.

Gao Yidao didn't refuse, turned around and gave orders to the soldiers of the second company next to him, and then walked up to the staff member: "Is there any news about the inside line you broke into the puppet army?"

"The ones who appeared along the railway line should be ghosts. The insider said that they don't know what happened."

Gao Yidao turned his head to look at Hu Yi: "I don't think we should go back the same way now?"

Hu Yi said coldly: "You think what I said is farting?"

Gao Yidao gritted his teeth with hatred: "Okay, I will gather the team and move north."

Hu Yi thought for a while: "Wait, hurry up and arrange for someone to destroy the wires next to the railway!"

The devil is not a fool, since he got the information that there are eight roads appearing, and he has set up a net in the county along the railway line.

It is enough to show that the devil knew the whereabouts of Balu in advance. Although Hu Yi didn't say anything, Gao Yidao also knew that there must be spies in the team!
Now the devil's troops are strong enough to deploy defenses across the board, at least not allowing him to communicate smoothly with each other.

After carrying the motorcycle for a mile to the north, more than [-] people worked together to quickly dig two large pits. The new soil dug out was evenly sprinkled on the slope. There are hardly any traces.

Standing in front of the team, Gao Yidao said in a cold voice, "I heard everything clearly, everyone is not allowed to load bullets, a group of three, cross-check, who the hell dares to be narrow-minded at this time, hehe, I swear, absolutely Cut him to pieces!
In addition, Gao Yidao also sent the veterans of the second company to hold back the formation to prevent people from losing things in the team.
It is very common to have spies in the ranks. The Eighth Route can send people to infiltrate the puppet army, and the enemy will also send people to infiltrate the Eighth Route Army. But all spies have a fatal weakness. They cannot rise to the position of commander in a short time, so be on guard It is relatively not difficult.

Both Gao Yidao and Lao Li knew that Hu Yi asked the team not to take a detour to the south. Another reason was that the intelligence officer Er Goudan had not returned, so it was impossible to determine whether there was any problem with the identity of the responding team members.

In enemy-occupied territory, it is very important to be cautious.

The breeze, the moon is brighter, and the silent plain under the night is broken by the sound of marching footsteps.

There are blockades on both sides of the railway. To cross the railway line, you must first pass through the blockade, then pass through the iron center patrolled by the enemy, and then pass through another blockade. It is very difficult.

The further north we went, the more vigilant the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance at the front and on both sides became.

The team began to approach the railway, and for about a mile on both sides, stragglers were arranged to go north simultaneously. The sharp soldiers near the east side of the railway were the first to be discovered by the spies placed by the enemy.

The two sides immediately exchanged fire.

The sudden sound of gunfire tore through the night.

Hu Yi stopped and took out his pocket watch under the moonlight. Luo Fugui who was next to him immediately turned on the flashlight and felt the never-ending rhythm of the pocket watch. He lowered his head and borrowed the light of the flashlight to look at the watch.

After walking for more than an hour, the team traveled northward for more than [-] miles.

Gao Yidao ordered without hesitation: "Everyone is there, immediately go east and cross the blockade ditch!"

The whereabouts have been exposed, there is no need to turn back, it is better to hit the railway line directly.

Hu Yi did not object, and the patrols on the railway line could be ignored, and they had to rush across the railway before the enemy's armored train arrived.

For such a long railway line, it is absolutely impossible for the devils to have so many troops to defend it intensively. To put it simply, it is to concentrate their forces and attack a point on the line. As long as they are not held back by the enemy, it is not difficult to cross the blockade.

Strength is everything.

The soldiers carried out the order resolutely, and all turned to the east on the same spot. In the dark, they saw that there were only a few eight-way skirmishers on the right side of the team. Together, is this a fart?
Quickly slipped eastward into the blockade ditch, and ran north along the bottom of the ditch.

Eight roads come from the south, so of course they have to go north.

The wall of the ditch is straight up and down, under the moonlight, the bottom of the ditch cannot be seen at a glance, and the bottom of the ditch is not flat, and there are many sharpened wooden stakes inserted upside down in the middle.

In order to cross the blockade ditch, the wooden pole Gao Yidao had arranged for the soldiers to prepare finally came into use.

After arranging guard posts in squads, the soldiers slid down the wooden pole like dumplings. Before their feet touched the ground, the soldiers above slid down.

It took less than 2 minutes for a squad of ten soldiers to go down the ditch, and the long wooden pole leaned against the east wall of the blockade ditch.

The speed of going up the blockade ditch was much slower, and the soldiers who went up first, once again spread their legs in groups of three and ran up the railway.

The puppet army patrol not far away discovered the situation when the gunshots fired, and immediately fired without asking indiscriminately. They also found more and more people coming out of the ditch.

The devil instructor who was patrolling with the puppet army was overjoyed: the most important thing at present is not to fight the Eighth Route Army.

The puppet soldier with a coil of wires on his back climbed up the telephone pole beside the railway, ready to connect the telephone line, another devil skillfully tore off the box from the back of the puppet soldier next to him, opened it, connected the telephone line to the telephone, and waited for the wire to be connected. After the call, report the situation to the headquarters.

Now that the specific location of the eighth road has been determined, the armored train on standby is only more than 10 miles away from here, and it will take no more than [-] minutes to come from the railway!
There are a lot of people in this gang, at least a few hundred, and the Eight Routes are really cunning, so many people have thought about the blockade?
The ghost instructor was anxious. From the time the gun was shot to the present, almost 10 minutes had passed. The Eight Routes had already passed the blockade ditch. Now they had to find a way to hold them back. When the army arrived, none of the Eight Routes would run away.
As for the hundreds of Tubalu, if I can't beat it, I will delay you for a while
