under fire

Chapter 769 Bad intentions
Near the blockhouse in the blockade ditch on the east side of the railway line, a clear gunshot suddenly pierced the silent night.

Immediately afterwards, the firing holes of the turret began to flicker, and the sound of returning rifles rang out. The searchlight on the top of the turret began to sway towards the firing gun, and the machine guns also rattled, firing randomly into the wilderness, with tracers flying.

A mile away in Tangli, Long Chenzhang looked at the gun tower in the distance with his binoculars, and asked to the side: "Didn't you say that the devils in the gun tower have all gone? Why are the firepower of these puppet troops so strong?"

The rangers next to them explained: "The puppet soldiers in the gun tower are afraid of death, and whenever there is trouble in the plain, they will fight outside."

Long Chenzhang put down the binoculars: "The bandits of the Black Tiger Army only number more than 200 people, why should they fight Wang Taigong?"

"His team is in collusion with the Eighth Route Armed Work Team to fight guerrillas secretly, and they can only attack the mob under Wang Taigong's command!" Seeing the raging tracer light from the gun tower in the distance, the action team subconsciously clenched their small pistols: "Bandits Fighting bandits, let's just watch the excitement, as long as we can gnaw down the hard bones of the gun tower, we are not afraid that he will not come to vote!"

Long Fanzhang felt a little regretful: "It's not easy to shoot a gun tower with a black lamp. It would be great if there was a direct-fire gun, and the problem can be solved with one shot!"

The Rangers thought for a while: "I heard that the Eighth Route Army can shoot directly with mortars!"

Long Chenzhang shook his head: "Nonsense, how could the mortar shoot directly? You need some common sense to brag."

"Hey, that's not necessarily true. According to people in the coalition government, they really will!"

"Well, then we have to learn from them."

"Learn a fart, that's the secret of Balu!"

"What nonsense... By the way, how do you contact Eighth Road?"

"The coalition government is stationed in the west of An County. Some time ago, after the devils drove the security forces to sweep up, the county government moved. You can get in touch with them through the radio."

Long Fanzhang nodded: "It looks like we have to find some time to meet them."

"Hey, Chief Long, I have to remind you about something. Try not to contact Balu."

"The United Anti-Japanese War was screwed up by you."

"What does this have to do with us? There is a saying in the ancients, we are also following orders from above."

"It's all said and unanimous to the outside world, but you are always making small moves."

"Hey, hey, it's over if you say that. We old acquaintances, it's okay to talk about it. If others hear it, it will be a big deal."

"What are our guerrillas doing all day long in this area? I heard that they can't beat devils?"

"You can't say that. Balu also makes some small moves. How dare he confront the devils? If we hadn't stood up to the devils in the south, he would have been wiped out by the devils long ago."

Long Fanzhang shook his head: "Look at your virtue! If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. What excuses are you looking for?"

"Brother Long, there are some things that everyone knows, don't talk about it, it's not good for everyone."

"What do you want to say?"

"You have to find out who the chairman's confidant is! Now that the Pacific War is breaking out, the devil can't grow up. So, this time the guerrilla advance team you brought here, you must first understand the situation."

"After talking for a long time, you mean that we want us to attack the eight roads?"

The ranger smiled: "You said that, but I didn't say that."

Long Fanzhang sneered with a black face: "In the face of national crisis, you are still playing tricks, it is really despicable and shameless."

The ranger didn't care at all: "Brother, listen to my advice, there are some things that everyone can do, and some things that have to be seen by others. You must figure it out, and don't lose your black hat because of these trivial things."

"Thank you so much, brother awakened like a dream!" Long Chenzhang changed his attitude, quickly pulled out his small Browning pistol, and handed it to this man with the handle turned upside down: "We met for the first time, brother, if you don't have anything else, this gun will be given away to you!" Here you go."

The ranger was also polite, stretched out his hand, pulled the trigger to eject the clip, and said skillfully, "Give me some more bullets!"

"I warn you first, this gun can also be used for self-defense. On the battlefield, this pistol is useless. If you have time, you should learn how to use a rifle from us!"

"I think a pistol is more convenient. A rifle plus ammunition weighs more than a dozen catties. When fighting a guerrilla, you can't run fast with a rifle on your back!"

Long Fanzhang shook his head, a little speechless to the action team: This is a battlefield behind enemy lines, does this guy really think it's a street fight in the city?
Unless a small pistol hits the head and the heart at close range, it can't kill anyone at all, you idiot!

"That's fine, let's scout here first, let's retreat first!"

"Okay, the resident has been arranged. We have already prepared a secret resident on the Dagu Mountain."

In order to be on the safe side, and also for the sake of the elite guerrilla plan of the national army, the plan to attack the gun tower and take the flag of the security army can only be canceled first, and everything is considered in the long run.

In the darkness where the searchlights couldn't reach, the team assembled.

The well-equipped guerrillas of the national army are all American-style equipment. Nearly half of the soldiers have Thompson submachine guns on their chests, some of them have the latest Garand rifles aided by the United States, and two soldiers have camouflaged sniper rifles wrapped around their backs. There are more than ten light machine guns, and the machine guns are directly equipped to the squad, plus two Browning heavy machine guns, a mortar group with four mortars, and an engineer group with countless explosives.
The action team members looked at the equipment of the guerrilla soldiers and were envious!

Worse than the chairman's guards I've seen!

It is said that these new weapons are only equipped by the chairman's direct line of the Central Army, and only one division is equipped, so I didn't expect to see them here!

East.

The girl led people to stare at the blockhouse.

The searchlight on the top of the turret shone in one direction for a long time without any movement.

After the three shadows crossed the blockade ditch, they lay on the ground and slowly crawled towards the gun tower.

There was no sound from the gun tower.

There was a faint smell of blood wafting from the direction of the gun tower.

A soldier was a little excited: "Squad leader, listen, are the security forces all asleep? There is no movement at all!"

The squad leader next to him hesitated: "It's strange, there seems to be no one in the trenches outside the gun towers of the security forces!"

"How about I go and have a look first?"

"Be careful, I'll cover you!"

"Don't worry, I've done a lot of this!"

After the soldier finished speaking, he immediately crawled forward until he reached the darkness below the gun tower, but there was still no movement.

I slowly got up and touched the entrance of the north blockhouse. My heart became nervous, my palms were sweating, and I slowly pulled the bolt, the bullet was loaded, and after thinking about it, I hung the bayonet on the muzzle of the gun.

After listening at the entrance for a while, there was no other sound except for the slight strange cry of the cold wind blowing through the blockhouse.

There is no snoring or breathing, only a strong smell of blood, I never thought it would be like this!

The ground was slippery, and the soldier almost slipped and fell, so he quickly stabilized, his heart jumped out of his throat!

He crept into the gun tower slowly, and with the light from the roof of the gun tower, he could barely see that there was no one on the first floor of the Datong bunk.

The squad leader covering behind saw that the soldier had gone for a long time and did not move, so he could only continue to stare helplessly at the gun tower with his gun up.

Not long after, a figure hurried out of the blockhouse, calling in a low voice while running: "Squad leader, there is no one in the blockhouse! No one is there."

Not long after, the retracted suspension bridge was lowered.

A figure ran across the drawbridge into the darkness to the south.

After a while, the sound of running footsteps sounded in the darkness to the south, and dozens of people quickly crossed the suspension bridge and entered the gun tower.

Luo Fugui walked around the blockhouse with a flashlight for a long time, sighed deeply, and muttered: "The security forces in this blockhouse have all been killed!"

Outside the entrance of the blockhouse, a big figure and a small figure returned to normal from the state of thieves.

"Hey, girl, someone has robbed our business!" After careful inspection, Ma Liang felt relieved.

Luo Fugui didn't catch anything, and was a little discouraged: "There is blood everywhere in the gun tower, who killed someone... and took away all the corpses, what's going on?"

"Ghost knows!" the big dog muttered.

A bonfire was lit again.

More than fifty or eight roads are scattered around.

"Report to Company Commander Ma, no corpse was found in the blockade ditch!"

Smelling the smell of blood, the girl frowned: "It's really strange! Where are the security forces guarding the gun tower? I haven't seen any bandits."

Luo Fugui looked at the searchlight on the top of the turret in a daze for a long time, and when he heard the girl's words, he came back to his senses: "Maybe they were spotted by the Taishang Laojun to help practice alchemy..."

Ma Liang interrupted Luo Fugui: "Don't talk nonsense! There are traces of struggling and dragging here, and blood on the ground."

Luo Fugui's eyes lit up: "The blood is pointing to the village to the north. Could it be that the mountain monster dragged him all to the village?"

"There are really mountain monsters?" The girl shuddered, and quickly clenched her fists to cheer herself up: "The fox said that there are no monsters and ghosts in this world, it's impossible!"

After carefully watching the northern village for a while, Ma Liang drew out his sniper and ordered to the soldiers next to him: "Follow me to the village over there!"
