Chapter 26: There are bandits
The energy of the "Fuxing Society" secret service was enormous, and early the next morning, it received news that a truckload of relief materials sent from Jiangcheng had arrived at Yiyang Station.
Shen Yu took Luo Yao and the others, who had rested all night, to drive the empty carriage over.
Warm clothing, quilts, tents, and most importantly, medicines......
Loaded with three major cars.
Except for the seriously injured who stayed in the county hospital, the rest of the people did not stay for a moment, and the escort supplies were on the road, and they had to rush back as soon as possible.
The team's food ran out last night, and even if they used the money to go out to buy food, it would be difficult to buy food, and they couldn't take care of the nearby disaster-stricken villages.
When I came, I walked for a whole day, and when I went back, it was estimated that it was about the same, and it was delayed to unload supplies at the train station.
Even if you go back the way you came, you won't be able to return to the temple until the evening.
Ok during the day.
As soon as it gets dark, not only can I not make out the road and direction, but also, the more I go to the mountains, the more unpeaceful the road is, the Xiangxi area has been plagued by bandits for many years, although the area they walk in is located on the edge of the details, but there are often bandits nuisances, especially after the disaster, people who can't survive, go directly to the mountains and fall into the grass.
Therefore, bandits in Xiangxi are endless.
The common people suffered a disaster, and the bandits in the mountains did not have a good time, they swaggered out of the city with three carts of supplies, but I am afraid that in the eyes of others, they have already become a big fat sheep.
This is also the reason why Shen Yu had to bring a guard platoon over, when he came, they didn't have anything, and even if the bandits saw them, they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them.
A well-equipped platoon of the regular army, the strength is far beyond that of ordinary bandits, plus they don't bring any supplies, they are hard-hitting, and they are stupid.
But when they went back, they were full of supplies, which were different in the eyes of these outlaws, who were a huge fortune, and people died for money, and birds died for food.
For the sake of wealth, there are not a few people who take risks.
These Luo Yao could think of it, how could Shen Yu, as the team leader, not think of it, so when he went back, he didn't take the original road, but took another road.
The people of the Yiyang Group in the first half of this road have already explored clearly and are safe, but the second half of the road has gone deep into the mountains, so it is difficult to say.
Moreover, the road of the past cannot be walked now, and people can only be arranged to go out to reconnoitre, and only after the safety is determined will the team and materials continue to advance.
This is very safe, but it will inevitably delay the speed of travel.
Shen Yu is also very anxious, but being anxious does not solve the problem, once he is impatient, he is likely to put even the rescue materials he brought in.
At that time, Wang Yueqing and the others, who were waiting for help in the deserted temple, would be in trouble.
There was no food, no warm clothing, and so many lightly wounded, and on such a cold night, it would be freezing to death.
"Luo Yao, if there is danger ahead, can you hear it in advance?" Shen Yu called Luo Yao over and asked.
Luo Yao was stunned, and immediately, he understood why Shen Yu came out with the group that chose him, he valued his ability to predict the outbreak of the "flash flood".
Of course, he may have misunderstood, he did not have this kind of prediction ability, but his hearing surpassed that of normal people, he heard far, and calculated the arrival time according to the speed of the flash flood and warned in advance.
It's not a sixth sense, or a superpower.
Shen Yu was a little sick and rushed to the doctor.
"Instructor Shen, I can find out that the flash floods and mudslides are not actually my foreseen superpowers, but because my ears can hear movements in distant places, so I ......" Luo Yao felt that it was necessary to make it clear to Shen Yu, so as not to have all kinds of unnecessary troubles in the future.
Of course, it is impossible for him to tell the other party all the unusual abilities of ordinary people in his hearing, so that he may become a slice mouse.
He can't explain this ability clearly.
"How far can you listen?" Shen Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't believe that Luo Yao had any supernatural abilities, but if it was extraordinary hearing, then it would make sense.
"Two or three miles should be fine." Luo Yao thought about it for a while, but still had reservations.
"Go, go, Platoon Leader Xu!" When Shen Yu heard this, he directly pulled Luo Yao and walked to the front of the team.
"Here!"
"You take a squad out of 100 meters to reconnoiter forward, your task is to protect the safety of Luo Yao's students, he said how to go, how to go, did you hear!" Shen Yu ordered.
"Yes, Chief Shen." As the saying goes, the first level of the official university crushes people to death, Platoon Commander Xu is a small second lieutenant, Shen Yu is a lieutenant colonel, several levels worse, do you dare not listen to his words?
What's more, he also knew that the night before yesterday, if there was no advance warning from Luo Yao, how many people would have died in the flash flood and mudslide.
The pace of progress began to pick up.
Luo Yao knows that now is not the time to hide, he and this team are now grasshoppers on a rope, the bandits in Xiangxi have always been extremely ferocious, even if they don't die, if they fall into their hands, it is estimated that they will not end well.
Helping Shen Yu is helping himself.
Although he wasn't sure if he could help, after all, this was his first time taking on this job, and it was also the first time he had done it, and if something went wrong, the whole team might be doomed.
Platoon Commander Xu is a veteran of the Battle of Songhu and has rich combat experience, so Luo Yao will certainly not let go of this rare learning opportunity.
Even if you learn a little fur, it is also useful, and you can use it in the future.
……
The team was advancing on the winding mountain road, and suddenly, Luo Yaoyi, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand and made a gesture to Platoon Commander Xu and the others behind.
"Stop."
"What's the matter, Brother Luo Yao." Platoon Commander Xu ran up and asked Luo Yao very politely, he knew very well that these students would have a higher starting point than him in the future, and they might even become his commanders.
"There are people in the woods in front, this is a flash flood and a mudslide, ordinary people will not appear here at this time, it should be a spies of bandits!" Luo Yaodao.
"What to do, this road is a must, if you go around, at least two more hours of walking, it's too late." Platoon Leader Xu said with a hint of anxiety.
"Their spies are all here, which means that it is not far from the ambush of the bandits, and we can't let them pass the news back." Luo Yao lowered his voice and said, "Platoon Commander Xu, you send someone back to report to Instructor Shen first, we might as well ...... like this."
"Okay, just do as you say, these bandits kill people without blinking, and if they meet, then either you die or I live." After listening to Luo Yao's suggestion, Platoon Commander Xu nodded frequently.
……
Four hundred meters away, in the woods on the hillside, two people had been curled up and squatting in the dense grass for four hours, and the place they had chosen could not only see the road below, but also not be easy to find.
If it weren't for the strong wind on the mountain, the cold wind would have drilled through the roll of their trousers, and the crotch would be cold, which was really unbearable.
They could both lie down and fall asleep.
"Brother, look, someone is coming......" The little bandit, who stared at the mountain road and didn't dare to blink, slammed his companion with his elbow.
"Brother, what's the matter with you, talking?"
The little bandit was in a hurry, and when he turned around, he was dumbfounded, and the two black muzzles were aimed at the back of his head, and the finger was pulled on the trigger.
As long as he has any abnormal movements, he is ready to go to the underworld to be reincarnated.
And his companions, who had been screwed aside, tied into rice dumplings, knelt there with "woo", looking at these people who came out of nowhere with frightened eyes.
was discovered.
……
The bandits have no faith at all, and they can do anything in order to survive, so these two bandit spies naturally dare not hide what they ask or say.
Of course, Luo Yao will not easily believe that there are many treacherous and cunning people among the bandits, and they will not tell their subordinates about their arrangements.
You also need to see it for yourself.
"You said that there are nearly 100 bandits in this gang, and they are in ambush on the hill in front?" Shen Yu was a little surprised when he heard Luo Yao's report.
Luo Yao nodded: "They are in ambush on the road we must pass, and if they take a detour, they will be delayed for at least two hours." ”
"It's less than two hours before it gets dark, and if you don't take this road, if you go around it, the road will not only be difficult to walk, but if you get lost, it will be even more troublesome." Shen Yu's face was embarrassed.
"Chief Shen, although there are more than a hundred bandits in this group, these people are all rabble, and the weapons and equipment are not as good as ours, if we can go around behind them and give a surprise attack to defeat this bandit, then we can pass safely, so that we can save at least an hour." Xu Pai said, "And there is no need to take a detour." ”
"Platoon Commander Xu's suggestion is worth trying, the bandits don't know that we already know where they are, if we suddenly appear behind them and launch a fierce attack, as long as we crush them in one fell swoop, we will pass this road." Luo Yao echoed.
"Are you sure?" Shen Yu is engaged in operations behind enemy lines, and he doesn't have much experience in this kind of battle, so he is naturally a little uncertain.
"Yes!" Xu Pai said loudly.
"Okay, then let's go and prepare, and we'll leave in five minutes." Shen Yu is not an indecisive person, since Platoon Commander Xu, who has rich combat experience, has said it, let's take a risk.
"Instructor Shen, I want to participate in the battle!" Luo Yao begged, this was a chance to catch a real battle, how could he miss it.
"You, no, you don't have any combat experience, you can only go to Platoon Commander Xu and they will be distracted to protect you." Shen Yu refused.
"Instructor Shen, I can let Platoon Leader Xu and them approach these bandits silently, and then launch a surprise attack at the most advantageous distance, and I don't need to attack, just hide far behind." Luo Yaodao.
"Are you sure?"
"It's really not good, let Mancang and Liu Jinbao follow me, they both have some combat experience, they don't participate in the battle, it's always okay to protect me, right?" Luo Yao said again.
This plan is feasible, Shen Yu called Liu Jinbao and Man Cang over, and after some advice, let them protect Luo Yao all the way and act with Platoon Commander Xu.
