under fire

Chapter 950
The moonlit night is not peaceful.

the village.

A broken courtyard with half the wall collapsed.

A broken house without a roof.

At the broken table with missing legs, Hu Yi was frowning and looking at the map in front of him, marking it from time to time.

Captain Geng sat on the left side of Hu Yi, looked at the map under the oil lamp, and continued to explain: "...the southern end of Taihang extends eastward to a mountain range. Beyond the mountain is a plain. The railway station is less than ten miles away from the foot of the mountain."

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "You mean to go directly west from the train station, within ten miles is the mountainous area?"

"Yeah, don't you know?"

Hu Yi shook his head, thinking, I'm not a god, how would I know?
Captain Geng saw that Hu Yi didn't speak, and continued: "The mountain that Taihang breaks into the plain is divided into two parts. The south side is what we often call Yunmeng Mountain. Guiguzi. Have you heard of it?"

Hu Yi didn't raise his head, his face was calm: "I haven't heard of it."

"Don't such a famous person know?" Captain Geng muttered in a low voice, and then said again: "If we worked hard at the station, we might have already entered the mountains."

Ma Liang, who was sitting on Hu Yi's right, shook his head: "Maybe it's all glorious."

"Your Ninth Battalion can fight even the advance team, are you afraid of the enemy's ambush?"

This is not easy to answer, Ma Liang did not answer.

Hu Yi took over the conversation: "Before you joined the work team, you should have been in the combat army, right? Don't you really see that the situation at the train station is abnormal?"

What he said seemed to mean that he couldn't see the situation clearly?Captain Geng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I used to be the instructor of the divisional team. You also know that the situation in the plain is complicated. The Japanese, puppet, bandits, and stubborn are almost our enemies. Our comrades working underground have sacrificed all their lives." It is not easy to develop the base area after crop after crop.”

Hu Yi was speechless, I said the enemy's situation, you complained to me?
Seeing that Hu Yi and Ma Liang were not talking, Captain Geng continued, "..Our working method is different from that of the combat troops. We usually attack and ambush devils on a small scale, and we usually focus on persuading and recruiting small groups of bandits. Large-scale battles are not as good as you, and your independent regiment has to guard against little devils from entering the mountains and often has battles to fight."

Ma Liang smiled: "What do you mean by that? Do you really want to beat devils?"

"Hey, who doesn't want to beat devils, pretending to be a development base for ordinary people every day, how can it be fun to fight devils?"

Hu Yi raised his head: "I heard from the soldiers that you can speak birds?"

"After learning a little bit, by the way, tell me quickly, how did you judge the situation at the train station?"

Seeing Captain Geng's attitude of humbly asking for advice, Hu Yi didn't hide it: "We drove for dozens of miles overnight, and we didn't even see a single enemy along the way. Right?"

Captain Geng nodded: "This makes sense, devils will not disappear for no reason!"

"In addition, there was originally a small group of devils and nearly a company of puppet soldiers at the station. Why did the devils and puppet troops disappear when we came?"

"Maybe you are famous in Jiuying, scaring away the devils"

"Hehe." Hu Yi's laughter stopped abruptly. It is absolutely impossible to scare the devil away!
The time when the intelligence agents were responding, it was obvious that the devil deliberately released the water. Could it be that there were spies in the team?

No, the devils from that squadron didn't follow up at all last night, it's unreasonable
footprint!

The devil has been looking for footprints, and some people in the devil's team wear ordinary people's clothes!

After entering the plains, he entered enemy-occupied areas many times, and somehow knew that some devil intelligence organizations had been infiltrating into the Eighth Route Army base areas. Those few people were probably intelligence personnel!
Thinking of this, Hu Yi's heart tightened, and he immediately ordered to Ma Liang next to him: "The rest is over, assemble immediately, and all advance to the train station!"

Ma Liang didn't respond: "Huh?"

Captain Geng was also stunned: "Didn't we just come back from the train station? You said just now that there was an ambush by the devils. What are you doing?"

Hu Yi thought for a while, and then explained: "If I'm not mistaken, the devils who chased us last night deliberately let us go."

Captain Geng was stunned: "What does this have to do with you deliberately sneaking into the devil's pocket? I still don't quite understand."

Hu Yi hesitated for a moment: "Years ago, the Ninth Company participated in the attack on the devil's advance team and left footprints at the scene. Yesterday, the devil should have discovered our tracks."

Hearing Hu Yi himself say that he fought against the advance team, Captain Geng immediately stood in awe: "But, you arranged for the people from the Taoist sect to wear those shoes and go east, so the devils really went east?"

Hu Yi shook his head: "It's not that simple, the little devil is very good at tracking."

"It's impossible for him to catch up after changing shoes?"

"I suspect that the devils split into two groups to let us go on purpose, that is to say, we have tails behind us!"

Captain Geng nodded: "I understand, the enemy wants to follow our footprints to find the secret service."

"No, their target is not us, but the Secret Service!"

"Then what are your plans now?"

"Since these guys are eyeing us and want to let us go, try calling the train station again!"

"But, did you make a mistake in your judgment?"

"The devils are attacking the national army in the south. Even if he sets up an ambush to encircle and suppress us, there will never be many troops. Moreover, even if there are many devils and we have bicycles, he can't outrun us."

"But, devils have cars!"

"So what if he has a car, as long as we don't take the road?"

"Now let's go to the train station again, it's probably dawn."

"It's dawn, isn't that better?"

"Better?" Captain Geng fell into deep thought again.

Village entrance.

The team assembles.

The old gangster Qi struggled to hold on to the wall and walked to the door of the house. He shouted hoarsely at Hu Yi who had just come out of the house: "Run away when you see a devil, run away every time you see a devil, I've had enough."

Hu Yi looked expressionlessly at the old bandit Qi who fell at the door and said, "Wang Taigong voted for the devils and let you stay in the village. Maybe you still have a chance to survive."

"What do you say?"

"I told you to stay in the village."

"Do you really think I'm a coward? Quickly ask someone to carry me away."

"...If you are willing to stay, I can give you a sum of money to go back to your hometown."

"Family? Hehe, we lost the three eastern provinces, and almost all of our brothers are dead. What face do you want me to go back? Go back to Wang Taigong and continue to be a bandit?"

"You'd better shut up now."

"You killed so many brothers, what right do you have to shut me up?"

Hu Yi felt a pain in his heart, calmed down, stayed for a while, turned and left without speaking.

"Why, have no face to speak?"

Old gangster Qi grabbed Wang Xiaosan who was leaning on crutches beside him: "What does Hu want to do?"

"seek death."

"What?"

"We're going to hit the train station again." Wang Xiaosan stepped on his bicycle and sat back. The soldier kicked his feet on the ground, swayed a few times, and turned onto the main road at the entrance of the village.

Old gangster Qi was really dumbfounded this time: "This damn old birthday star really wants to die for eating arsenic?"

The assembled team started to march out of the village. The old bandit Qi muttered, "That's right. It's better for me to die on the battlefield than to go back and die as a worthless bandit."

After finishing speaking, she stared wide-eyed and stopped Xiao Hongying from passing by: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and carry me away!"

Xiao Hongying raised her small hand and yawned: "Didn't the fox let you stay?"

"How dare he! Didn't you see him slip away in despair?"

Xiao Hongying told Li Laosan who was behind: "Third brother, carry it up."

"Dele!" The master who dared to blow his beard with Commander Hu must have great ability, Li Laosan's eyes lit up.

As for being a bandit, does it matter?
Company Commander Luo was born as a bandit. It is said that the battalion commander was a reactionary before.
TRAIN STATION.

The second lieutenant was in a bad mood.

Looking at the stripped naked bodies of the three wounded soldiers, he raised his hand and gave the false company commander who was bending over beside him a big mouth.

The false company commander is very wronged, so many of my subordinates died, I...
"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and send someone to repair the telephone line. The Imperial Army trains are all in Tang County in the north!"

The false company commander quickly turned around and ran away
No need to think about it, everything in the warehouse at the train station has been removed by Eighth Road, so what can I use to repair the telephone line?

Fortunately, when I came out at night, I took my "mobile" phone with me.

After a while, I climbed up the telephone pole, connected the line, and called Tangxian Station, asking them to send an armored patrol car to bring someone to repair it.
