My client Li Yunlong

On the road leading from the Jinan base area to the Taihang base area.

"Drive~"

Liu Shun, a soldier of the Independence Regiment, rode an ordinary military riding horse and glanced sharply ahead.

He is the observer.

In many combat missions with Wang Xikui, he was mainly responsible for observing the battlefield, measuring the environment, measuring target distance and other data, and making judgments on the priority of targets, so as to formulate tactics and provide guidance for sniper attacks.

According to those mysterious instructors,
The observer's professionalism is no weaker than that of a sniper.

Even worse in some aspects,

Because the observer needs to quickly make a quick judgment on the enemy and decide the attack target in a complex and chaotic battlefield, he is the brains of the sniper team.

Therefore, observers generally have extremely strong detection capabilities.

Liu Shun ranked second in the independent reconnaissance competition.

The first is Wei Monk Wei Dayong, the regimental guard and the commander of the independent guard company.

Their mission this time is to find the Japanese troops who have infiltrated into this area.

On the horseback, in addition to a personal walkie-talkie, there is also a sniper model 98K - as an observer, you must also have good enough marksmanship and some observation equipment.

Snipers and spotters are interchangeable.

···
"Not found yet?"

Taihang base area.

Headquarters.

The deputy general staff looked at the staff officers in the staff department.

At this time, in the General Staff Headquarters, the radio station was ticking continuously.

Although the distance between the headquarters staff and the Jinan base area exceeds the maximum communication distance of 40 kilometers by walkie-talkies, even the distance between the two base areas is more than 40 kilometers.

However, with the popularity of hundreds of shortwave radios every month, and the communication shortwave radios carried by a hundred heavy trucks, there are also backup radios on the vehicles.

The number of shortwave radio stations capable of medium and long-distance communications flowed out of the independent group has exceeded 500.

It is unrealistic to meet the needs of the entire military.

Even with the current scale of the Eighth Route Army in North China, it still needs about a thousand radio stations to meet the needs, but there is no problem in building a communication network covering Taihang, Taiyue, southern Hebei, and the Shaanxi-Gansu border area.

Coupled with the relay relay of the walkie-talkie, the headquarters can grasp the situation on the front line in real time within almost ten minutes.

"No."

A staff officer put down his headphones and replied:
"The last sighting was in Luoling, Hu County, but the target was lost last night."

"Keep looking."

The deputy general staff's tone was calm, but he sighed in his heart.

With the expansion of the base area, a large number of Japanese-occupied areas were recovered. Taihang, Taiyue, and Jinan finally had a stable transportation channel under the complete control of the troops.

New problems also emerged.

Investigation.

There was a problem with the troops' reconnaissance of the base area.

Once a small force at the level of a Japanese brigade penetrates into the vicinity of a base area, it is difficult to detect it in time and to fully grasp the whereabouts of the small Japanese force.

Sometimes the target is discovered and lost.

Darkness is the best cover.

The complex terrain, rugged paths, and a large number of Japanese strongholds within tens of kilometers of both sides of the highway, where the enemy and our forces are intertwined, led hundreds of Japanese soldiers to burrow into the mountains and hide in the ravines and bushes, making it difficult to trace their traces.

In the past, the troops often relied on the darkness to avoid the pursuit of the Japanese, but now the Japanese took advantage of the darkness to avoid the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army.

Currently, the Fan base intelligence network under construction only targets

"hehe··"

Thinking of this, the deputy general staff couldn't help but smile.

In less than a year, the roles between the troops and the Japanese were reversed, and the Japanese began to attack the Eighth Route Army transport team.

and,

A large group, estimated to be between 500 and 800 Japanese, has gone from being a tough and tough enemy last year that could not be eaten even if its teeth were knocked out, to today's small force, which can be easily annihilated upon discovery.

The changes between them made the deputy general staff couldn't help but sigh.

After a brief sigh, the Deputy General Staff quickly regained his composure.

Even if the small group of Japanese troops infiltrated cannot be discovered in time, it will have no impact.

The mere Japs squad and the mobile troops in the Taihang base area can easily expel or even severely damage and annihilate them. As long as the Japs troops who are not at the brigade level enter the base area, it is not a problem.

Anyway, the main force of transportation now is the heavy-duty truck fleet.

Moreover, the large-scale offensive that is about to begin will also completely clear out the Japanese strongholds near the highway between Taihang and the southern Hebei base area, clean up the Japanese forces, and completely connect the Taihang and southern Hebei base areas.

"Yes."

The staff officer went to execute it immediately.

···
"Investigation."

Yangcun,

Li Yunlong also frowned because of this question.

Although he dispatched the most elite reconnaissance platoon of the independent regiment, including reconnaissance experts such as Wang Xikui and Liu Shun, it took him a day to find the Japanese brigade that had infiltrated near the highway.

"We need to strengthen our investigation methods."

He couldn't help but sigh.

With the expansion of the battlefield, the previous investigation methods can no longer meet the needs of the troops in finding hundreds of hidden Japs on a vast battlefield covering hundreds of kilometers.

"Ask Brother Lu next time."

"Or··"

While thinking about it in his mind, Li Yunlong opened the inventory information and looked at the Black Hawk helicopter inside.

Among the accessories of the Black Hawk helicopter, there is an optoelectronic reconnaissance cabin, which has infrared, low-light night vision, amplification and other tracking and investigation capabilities. Combined with the flight performance of the Black Hawk helicopter, it is simply an excellent reconnaissance weapon.

"such a pity."

Li Yunlong shook his head.

He only has one Black Eagle fragment in his hand now, and he is still nine short of redeeming it.

···
The day.

Late at night. "Captain, one and a half kilometers ahead is the Tubal Road."

The elite brigade, led by the deputy captain of the Heze Alliance, quietly approached the highway from Taihang to Jinan.

"hidden."

The deputy commander immediately ordered the troops to take cover.

By now, they have penetrated deep into the so-called base area of ​​Tubal Road, and are close to the powerful Taihang base area. Once discovered, they will be surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops, and it will be difficult for the locust army to arrive in time.

"rest."

"Send a detachment close to the road for surveillance."

The deputy commander continued to take command.

According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army only had a small car transport team at night, about twenty or thirty trucks, and the scale of transportation was limited. A large-scale mule and horse transport team of four to five hundred horse-drawn carts only appears during the day.

And only during the day can army aviation support be effective.

So he chose to attack in daylight.

Rest in hiding at night.

"Hi."

There were more than 800 Japanese soldiers, all hiding in the grass in the mountains.

Then, under the cover of night, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers quietly approached the road.

Participating in the investigation was the detachment commanded by Yuei Shiratori.

····
"Pay attention to concealment."

Shiratori Yurong, who received the preliminary task, was extremely reluctant.

He has understood,

Troops that rashly approach enemy positions for reconnaissance suffer extremely high casualty rates.

Especially in the past six months, during the battle with the Eighth Route Army.

However, he is just a small squad leader, equivalent to the squad leader at the top of the Eighth Route Army. He cannot resist the orders of his superiors and can only execute them honestly.

Not to mention that there are some fanatical idiots in his team who only want to kill Tian Locust.

Fortunately, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

Shiratori Yurong was naturally unwilling to put himself in a dangerous environment, so he led his infantry detachment, taking a detour on the grounds of safety, and slowly approached the road.

Finally, by coincidence, Shiratori Yurong came closer to the road more than fifty meters away.

When Shiratori Yurong and a dozen Japanese soldiers approached the road in a hidden way, with the help of the faint moonlight, they saw a scene that shocked them.

On the straight and wide road,

Large cars, with their faint red lights on, drove into the distance under the moonlight.

Through the telescope, you can see that the carriages of these trucks are loaded with supplies. Even if they are wrapped in oilcloth, you can tell from the outline that there are bags of grain inside.

There is also a huge machine gun on the front of the car.

Near the convoy, there were also Eighth Route Army soldiers on horseback patrolling and guarding.

"This truck has to be bigger than a ship?"

"Isn't this faster than a military horse?"

"How many tons can it pull at one time?"

A dozen Japanese soldiers looked at the huge truck in front of them in shock.

Thinking of the 1.5-ton military truck of his own Locust Army, the Japanese deputy captain even stood up unconsciously when he saw the giant truck in front of him, which was comparable to the Navy's careful transport ship.

The difference is too big!
too big.

The wheels alone are as tall as the nose of an Imperial truck.

The enemy actually has such a huge truck.

How many tons of materials can this vehicle transport?

At this moment, it was the first time that the Japanese clearly saw the violent mechanical monsters from later Slavic times!

The moonlight was weak, and my eyes could only see a hundred meters away.

At this time, Shiratori Yurong's Japanese detachment was about eighty meters away from the road and was still hidden behind a ditch. Logically speaking, at this distance, the people on the truck could not see the Japanese.

but··
Boom boom boom!
Shiratori Yurong's familiar voice suddenly sounded.

I saw the machine guns on the heads of giant trucks suddenly turning their muzzles and aiming at the location of Shiratori Yuei's detachment. The dense bullets came like raindrops.

"retreat."

The first time he heard the sound, Yurong Shiratori was the first to run away decisively.

Thanks to his decisive escape, Shiratori was lucky enough to survive unscathed. He also remembered his duty as captain and issued a retreat order.

Let a few lying Japanese still survive.

But the few Japanese who stood up, including the squad leader, were not so lucky and were beaten to pieces on the spot.

···
"Nani, have you been discovered?"

When Shirong Yurong rushed to the brigade headquarters to report and asked questions one by one, the deputy captain of the Heze unit was suddenly shocked.

at night,

More than eighty meters apart,

How did you discover the reconnaissance team hidden in the grass?
"Captain, what should we do?"

The captain on the side asked.

The reconnaissance team was discovered. If they continue to ambush here, problems are likely to arise.

"Is it some kind of advanced technology?"

The deputy captain of the Heze Alliance murmured in his heart.

The Eighth Route Army has a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, which have been deeply engraved in the hearts of Japanese officers.

He thought for a while,

The Locust Army has recently been sending small teams closer to the highway, and has fought against Tubal Road many times. The Thirty Brigade also launched an attack on the road. A single reconnaissance team was discovered and should not be exposed.

So he decisively issued the order:
"Clear the traces and march to the right."

He decided to go ahead with the ambush. (End of chapter)
