Chapter 269: Ambush in a different place
After looking at each other in shock for a while, Zhao Shixun casually picked up a dry and yellowed leaf on the ground and slowly crushed it.
"You want to save people halfway?"
Staring at the leaf fragments in his hand, Zhao Shixun asked lightly.
"Well...... we have to find a way to get people out, and it's so important to us. If something happens to him, then the situation of struggle in our entire base area will become extremely passive! In particular, the underground intelligence organization that we have painstakingly built up is likely to face huge losses. ”
Looking at Zhao Shixun, although Lao Wu didn't say anything, Zhao Shixun understood the meaning of his words.
Although Zhao Shixun didn't spend much time with Lao Wu, he had never seen Lao Wu so nervous. From the other party's unquestionable eyes, Zhao Shixun could see that Lao Wu was completely determined to achieve this matter.
Seeing that Zhao Shixun was suddenly silent, Lao Wu's brows furrowed slightly, and then his voice sank.
"Brother Shixun, I also know that your column has been in a difficult situation recently, I heard Zhou Yu say that your troops were driven around by the devil puppet army, not to mention, and the losses were also very large."
"Well...... the original veterans have not even survived to the present one-third, and the rest are all recruits who have just been replenished."
Looking at Lao Wu, Zhao Shixun didn't hide anything, and directly told the truth about the current state of the troops.
After hearing the brief silence, Lao Wu also sighed softly.
"This sweep came very suddenly, and the anti-Japanese forces in the entire Jinnan region suffered great losses. I received information that many of the troops left on the north bank of the Yellow River in the World War II zone had lost contact, and it is estimated that most of them were also unlucky. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shixun's expression was gloomy for a while before he suddenly raised his head and asked:
"Brother Wu......, do you have any information about the recent situation of our column?"
Hearing Zhao Shixun's inquiry, Lao Wu shook his head gently.
"I've been trying to contact your column's radio station for the past few days, but I've never received a response. I guess I'm afraid their situation is not optimistic. ”
Nodding silently, Zhao Shixun glanced around, and then lowered his voice and whispered:
"Yang Chenghu is recuperating in the village below, I listen to him, some time ago when they were broken through, the losses were very large, and there were no less than three or four hundred soldiers who died. If it weren't for Riesling leading people to risk their lives to rescue, it is estimated that the entire special service battalion would have to be reimbursed in full. ”
"What?! The loss is so big! Why didn't I hear Zhou Yu tell me? ”
Looking at Lao Wu with a surprised face, Zhao Shixun signaled him not to make a noise.
"Now that most of the team is full of new recruits, if this kind of news spreads, everyone's morale will be over. Yang Chenghu told me the news, I haven't told anyone except you, including Zhou Yu. ”
Hearing this, he nodded in agreement, and after thinking about it again, Lao Wu looked at Zhao Shixun and said solemnly:
"Comrade Zhao Shixun, I know that your Seventh Company is currently weak in combat effectiveness, and the team is in urgent need of repair. But the rescue is too old to be delayed. ”
Speaking of this, Lao Wu's tone softened.
"I still have more than a dozen underground party comrades in the county town who can be transferred, and if you really have difficulties, then we will think of some other way ourselves. However, we don't have a lot of weapons and ammo, so we need some ammo from you. ”
Staring at the leaf residue in his hand, Zhao Shixun was dull for a moment, and then blew off the leaf residue in one breath.
"The county seat is both a detective team and a garrison, and you guys alone will never be able to save people. You said that the devils plan to transfer the old to them, is there a specific time? ”
"The inside told me that it was only in the next day or two."
"Have you decided on the route? Is it a waterway or a dry road? ”
"The inside line said that the devil is overhauling the vehicle in the past two days, and I guess he is going to take the dry road to Yuncheng."
Hearing this, Zhao Shixun hurriedly took out the map and unfolded it, and then looked at it near the county seat.
Pointing to the winding lines on the map, Zhao Shixun said in a deep voice:
"From Hengqu to Yuncheng, there are only two routes to take if you take the dry road.
One is to go south first, and then follow the Yellow River to the west. The other is to go out of the county seat and pass the Shangguan Village stronghold, and then drive directly along the sand road to the boundary of Wenxian County, and then go south to transfer to the train or continue to take the official road. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun touched his beard and pondered for a moment.
"It's the closest way to the Yellow River, but it's next to the Fifth War Zone, so the road must be badly damaged and unsafe.
If I were a devil, I would definitely choose to take the road from Hengqu to Wenxian. ”
Following Zhao Shixun's guidance, he looked at the map in detail, and Lao Wu nodded in agreement.
"Brother Sexun, you really don't lose someone who has stayed in the East, and you will analyze the possible route of the devil in a few clicks."
Speaking of this, Lao Wu pointed to a dot on the map and lightly clicked a few times.
"I estimate that the route for the little devils to escort them is this road, this valley is not far from your location here, I think it is best for you to ambush the devil convoy here."
Staring at the position of Lao Wuzhi, Zhao Shixun slowly stood up, moved his sore neck a few times, and pondered for a moment.
"You can't be ambushed there."
"Oh? Why is that? Is it the location here? ”
Looking at the puzzled Lao Wu, Zhao Shixun slowly leaned down and drew a circle near the ambush site.
"Although the terrain of this generation is good, it is too close to the county seat or from Shenquan Village.
If we ambush in this place, the nearest stronghold in Shangguan Village will definitely be aware of it, and when the time comes, we will inevitably divide our troops to the front to fight and block it. ”
"The most important thing is that we still have nearly ten wounded people recuperating in the village at the foot of the mountain, if we do something nearby, it will inevitably attract a crazy sweep by the Japanese puppet army, and then our wounded and the villagers here will be in danger."
After listening to Zhao Shixun's analysis, Lao Wu nodded with a deep frown.
"I understand what you mean, but if we don't stop here halfway, do we want to go to the county seat to save people? Wouldn't that be more costly and difficult? ”
Looking at Lao Wu, who was slightly anxious, Zhao Shixun did not rush to speak, but drew a line along the winding official road on the map with his fingers, and finally stopped at a location deep into the territory of Wen County.
"It's called Lao Ye Temple, and it's a sparsely populated valley with dense vegetation. From here, more than 20 miles to the west, is the densely populated river town. After the devils drove all the way to here without incident, they would inevitably relax, and when the time came, we would catch them off guard here. ”
Looking at the dots on the map, Lao Wu nodded first, but then asked suspiciously:
"It's not close to us, I see dozens of miles, are you sure?"
Afraid that Zhao Shixun didn't understand what he meant, Lao Wu hurriedly added:
"I mean, if the devils pass by tomorrow, will you still have time to act?"
Understanding Lao Wu's concerns, Zhao Shixun pondered for a moment, then immediately got up and shouted:
"Black baby!"
"Here!"
"Blow the rallying horn immediately!"
……
With a rapid sound of horns, the soldiers of the Seventh Company who were hiding on the mountain for training and repairing immediately gathered quickly.
Zhou Yu, who hurried over when he heard the sound, looked at the soldiers who were quickly lined up, and walked in front of Zhao Shixun with a puzzled expression.
"Lao Zhao, is there any urgent task?"
Without concealing it, Zhao Shixun told Zhou Yu of Lao Wu's request in a few words.
Knowing that Lao Yu and Li Chunfeng were arrested unexpectedly, Zhou Yu was also shocked.
"It's so serious, then Lao Zhao, are you planning to rob the prisoner car halfway?"
"Well...... I have already chosen the location, which is near the Lao Ye Temple in Wen County."
"Wen County Old Man Temple? …… It's not close to us, is it too late? ”
Knowing that the ambush site was in Wen County, Zhou Yu also realized the problem of distance for the first time.
"I also know that the time is a bit rushed, so I plan to take some people to drive to the front station first.
After I leave, Lao Zhou, you will also set off immediately after arranging the wounded with the rest of the people, and strive to rush to the ambush point as soon as possible to join me. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yu was stunned, and then thought of something.
"You mean using that military vehicle we captured? But that thing can't hold many people, huh? What do you do if the enemy has too many troops? ”
Knowing that Zhao Shixun was going to take someone first, Zhou Yu immediately expressed his worries.
The devil truck can hold twenty-five or six people if it is killed, in case the enemy arrives at the ambush point before he arrives, then Zhao Shixun can only use the troops in his hands There is only one platoon!
"Brother Shixun, you also think that you should think about it carefully, it's a big deal that we can transfer the wounded and villagers in advance, and we can't take such a big risk."
Looking at the two of them who were worried, Zhao Shixun finally insisted on his idea.
"Lao Zhou, I will take the heavy machine gun and most of the veterans, you and Xizi must pay attention to arranging the wounded, and let the old immortals leave some silver dollars for the villagers, so as to reduce the pressure on them to take care of the wounded.
After I take people away, if you come across a convoy of devils on the road, don't try to stop it. The recruits' combat effectiveness is too weak to make them die in vain. ”
Seeing Zhao Shixun's resolute attitude, Zhou Yu didn't say anything, anyway, he didn't have any better way.
Besides, Shenquanzhai is his hometown after all, and Zhou Yu doesn't want his fellow villagers to be affected by this incident. And Zhao Shixun can consider the whole thing from the perspective of the villagers in Shenquanzhai, which also makes Zhou Yu deeply gratified, after all, the root of the Seventh Company is the former Shenquanzhai Anti-Japanese Brigade, and the people here have paid too much ...... for the anti-Japanese resistance.
Seeing Zhao Shixun's resolute preparation to set off, Lao Wu was moved, but also stepped forward and shook the hands of the two tightly.
"Brother Shixun, Brother Zhou Yu, on behalf of the Jinnan underground party organization, I sincerely thank you for your dedication and help. I will truthfully report this matter to the organization, and I will ask for credit for you regardless of success or failure. ”
…… To be continued, thank you for the support of book friends, ask for recommendations, ask for collections!!
