Chapter 235 The Story of Correspondent Xu Shun Part Five

On a dirt road, Xu Shun and Niu Ding rode forward all the way.

The speed of the two riding horses is not fast, about ten kilometers per hour, which is the speed of ordinary people trotting.

This speed is very slow for a horse. The high-speed sprint speed of a war horse exceeds 1 kilometers per hour, but no matter how good a war horse is, it cannot maintain high-speed running all the time. After all, it is not a machine, and it has physical limitations. Hold for about [-] minute.

One of the advantages of war horses over humans lies in their good endurance. The most suitable running distance for a good horse is about [-] kilometers a day, and this distance will vary depending on the road conditions.

Sixty kilometers, this distance can be achieved in one day on foot, but horses can run sixty kilometers every day, people can't do it, even if they are strong soldiers, if they march sixty kilometers a day, they can still walk the next day. It was a miracle.

Compared with the far superhuman endurance, the real advantage of the war horse lies in its high-speed sprint ability.

For signal soldiers, this is especially important. After encountering devils, they can quickly rely on the high-speed sprint of horses to escape.

It was the morning of the day, and while holding the rein to control the speed of the horse, Xu Shun looked around vigilantly.

The highway is the territory of devils, and patrols of devils and puppet troops often appear here. Although these patrolling devils and puppet troops are not strong, they are not enough for two signal soldiers to deal with.

In the past, Xu Shun had to plan in detail every time he passed the road, either walking in the middle of the night, or taking advantage of devils or puppet army patrols to pass intermittently.

But this time it was Niu Ding's route. In order to train himself as the future deputy platoon leader, Xu Shun deliberately did not remind him of this mistake. One actual combat teaching is more effective than a hundred ear-to-ear instructions.

Of course, it wasn't because of him. Before he set off, he had inquired about it. The people stationed around this road were some third-line patrols, devils and puppet troops. They lacked actual combat experience and were extremely poor in combat effectiveness.

There is a horse under his crotch, and it is a good horse, no worse than the devil's horse. Even if he encounters a devil or a puppet patrol, he can run away in time. The strong horse gave Xu Shun the confidence to do so.

It's just that the situation seems to be a bit unexpected...
"what's the situation?"

Looking at the empty dirt road, Xu Shun was full of doubts.

Halfway through the road, why didn't a devil patrol come across it?He doesn't patrol in the morning in such a broad daylight?Are the third-line devil patrols and the puppet army so lazy?
With deep doubts, Xu Shun sped up a little.

The speed of the horse's hooves accelerated, he pulled the rein to the left, and the horse followed the trend to the left.

There is a small road on the left side of the road. In his memory, he can see a stronghold of devils there. He intends to see what happened to the devils. He has gone out to patrol in broad daylight.

"Platoon leader? You..."

Seeing his platoon leader suddenly detour, Niu Ding was a little puzzled.

"Go and see, there is a devil and puppet army stronghold over there"

Xu Shun beckoned, motioning for Niu Ding to come along.

"what?"

Niu Ding was taken aback by Xu Shun's words, went to check the devil's stronghold?This is what scouts do.

They are communication soldiers, and their primary task is to transmit information or orders to the destination troops. What they want is to avoid the devils as much as possible on the way, to ensure the safety of intelligence and themselves, and to check the devils' strongholds. Unless there is an order, otherwise this is absolutely prohibited of.

But his own platoon leader went up, and as a recruit, he could only follow silently.

Niu Ding, who had been concentrating on horseback riding when he saw the platoon leader going to check the devil's stronghold, realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the route he designed. There are several devil strongholds around this road. The route that can't be chosen, if there is no other way, I have to avoid the devil patrol team in the dark and then pass.

And I chose to pass by during the day.

"Be careful next time," he told himself silently in his heart.

Soon the two came to a small hillside. Xu Shun held his binoculars and looked over the hillside. The scattered houses were located in a small plain in the distance. Where was a village? There was a river next to the town. It is a mountain forest.

On the right side of the town near the river, there is a compound with a telescope extending, Xu Shun's sight clearly sees the gate of the compound.

Two devils squatted behind the sandbag bunker at the gate of the compound. This is where a devil squad and a puppet barracks are stationed.

"The devil is here, why don't you come out to patrol?"

Seeing that the devil was still in the town, Xu Shun became more suspicious.

The purpose of this devil station is to protect the safety of roads and rivers. This road is often passed by devil transport convoys, and rivers are also important transportation channels.He saw that there were no devil patrols on the road, so he thought the devils had retreated.

But the devils are still there, why don't they come out to patrol?
What's the use of stationing here if you don't come out to patrol?

If you don't deal with patrols, you will cut off the road and plant a bunch of mines without knowing it.

But doubts belonged to doubts, and he didn't dare to investigate further. After all, it would be troublesome if dozens of people surrounded a small group of devils in the distance.After observing for a while, when he was about to leave, the two vigilant devils at the gate suddenly caught Xu Shun's attention.

The [-]x binoculars from the overseas Chinese had a clear line of sight, and he could clearly see the expressions of the devil guards in the distance several kilometers away.

The expressions of the two devils hiding behind the sandbag bunker were highly vigilant and frightened.

Yes, fear, fear.

Xu Shun was extremely sure of his own judgment, and he often saw this kind of look when he pointed a gun at the enemy before.

Who is the devil afraid of?

Who dares to swagger and attack strongholds in broad daylight?You know, there are several devil brigades stationed in this area of ​​more than ten kilometers. If there is a road, it only takes half an hour for the devil to arrive here.

New doubts made Xu Shun stop.

Soon, the situation in front of him answered his doubts.

There was a forest behind the town in front of me. At this time, a group of guerrillas appeared on the edge of the forest. This guerrilla group was not big, only more than 20 people, but it was obvious from the clothing that it was a regular army of the Eighth Route Army, and it was fully equipped.

These more than 20 people carried three mortars, they drilled out of the woods neatly, and then quickly set up the mortars.Facing the devil's compound was a rapid shelling, and dozens of mortar shells flew into the devil's compound immediately.

Boom boom boom...Under the intensive explosions, rubble and tiles flew into the Devil's compound. It can be seen that the small-caliber mortars are not powerful, and they cannot destroy the buildings, nor can they kill the people hiding in the house.

After half a minute of shelling, the guerrillas raised their cannons and dodged, not at all interested in fighting, nor caring about the record.

And the devil's reaction was even more incredible. As soon as the gunfire rang out, the two guards at the door rolled along the trend and rolled into the blast hole behind the sandbag bunker.Xu Shun was dumbfounded by this action, the devils actually dug a bomb hole behind the resident bunker!
After the shelling stopped and the guerrillas left, the devil's reaction exceeded his expectations.

No brigade of devils ran out to chase, let alone counterattack. After about a few minutes, the two devil guards came out of the bunker, picked up their guns, and stood guard behind the sandbag bunker again, their expressions still highly vigilant and scared. .Through the gate, he saw that the door in the compound was opened, and a pile of tiles and rubble were swept out.

It was knocked down by a mortar shell.

And the ghosts in the house closed the door immediately after cleaning, and had no idea about chasing the guerrillas.

"Er... why is the devil so honest?"

Shaking his head, Xu Shun couldn't figure it out, but thinking that he was still using communication tasks, he could only ride a horse and walk along the road.
