Xu Rui took Leng Tiefeng and chased all the way along the traces left by Kokahara Junsi and Ito Yunosuke, until he reached the place where Nan Batian chased and lost yesterday. 【】

"Old Xu, there is no trace." Leng Tiefeng said.

Xu Rui nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the pumpkin they lost here." ”

"This devil is not simple." Leng Tiefeng bowed down and inspected the ground very carefully again, but he still didn't find anything, and immediately continued, "At least I have received special anti-tracking training, you see that the ground is as clean as if it has been swept, and there is not even a trace left." ”

"Not necessarily." Xu Rui smiled, then closed his eyes.

A few seconds later, Xu Rui's eyes opened again, then turned his head to look at the west, and said in a deep voice: "This way!" The devils went in this direction, and they were not one, there were two of them! ”

"Two of you?" Leng Tiefeng said, "You mean there are still devils who answer?" ”

"That's right." Xu Rui nodded, and said, "I smelled the breath of three people, one of them is Huang Shouyi, in addition to Huang Shouyi, there are also two people's breath." ”

"It seems that the devil is prepared." Leng Tie Feng said.

The two said as they chased down to the west.

Not far away, only four or five miles away, the two found new traces on a piece of dry land, only to see a few obvious light tire marks left on the ground.

Leng Tiefeng squatted down, compared the width of the tire print, and said, "It should be a side three-wheeled motorcycle." ”

Xu Rui also squatted down, observed the tire tracks and said: "There are two tire marks, some are more blurry, showing that the devil has been here yesterday, and the other few are very fresh, and more time, they have been away from here for less than half an hour, which means that they were still here half an hour ago." ”

"Still here half an hour ago?" Leng Tiefeng immediately became vigilant and pushed the bullet into his load with a click.

"Don't be nervous, the devil is sure he's gone." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "However, the pumpkin and the devil have been with them for two hours, but the devil just left here half an hour ago, and there is an hour and a half left in between, have they been hiding here all along?" It shouldn't be. ”

Leng Tiefeng walked in the opposite direction of the tire print, and shouted after a while: "Lao Xu, there are footprints here!" ”

When Xu Rui came over, Leng Tiefeng had already followed the footprints and climbed up the mountain, and said, "The devil has gone up the mountain from here, but he doesn't know what to do on the mountain." ”

Xu Rui looked down, and sure enough, he saw clear footprints on the ground, obviously, these two devils didn't think that the pursuers of the independent brigade would find here, so they didn't spend any more energy to sweep away the traces.

At that moment, the two followed the footprints left by the devil and climbed the remaining veins of Qingniuling.

Eventually, the two stopped at the previous hideout of Toshishi Okahara and Tamanosuke Ito.

"This is it." Leng Tiefeng found two traces behind a rock, then pointed to the two bushes that were obviously pressed by people, and said, "Those two devils should be hiding here, peeping at us." ”

The corners of Xu Rui's mouth immediately hooked up a wicked smile, no wonder he felt as if someone was secretly peeping when he got out of the car before, but he didn't expect that there were really two devils hiding here to spy on them, however, these two devils had already robbed Huang Shouyi, and most of them had already spied on the information they wanted, why didn't they leave, why did they stay here and continue to peep at them?

When Xu Rui was guessing, Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, the matter is obvious, this is a spy carried out by the little devil against our Dameishan base area, judging from the results, the little devil has obviously obtained the information they want, and even kidnapped Huang Shouyi, who was locked up in a labor camp. ”

Xu Rui said: "Do you think the devil just kidnapped Huang Shouyi?" ”

"That's for sure." Leng Tiefeng said, "Huang Shouyi is not an important person, it is not worth the devil to send such an elite special forces to save him, Lao Xu, you should also see that the people who came to our Dameishan base to spy this time are not ordinary devils, but the elite of the devils, and they are special forces like you and me." ”

"That's true." Xu Rui nodded and said, "These two devils are indeed not ordinary. ”

Leng Tiefeng continued: "Lao Xu, it seems that your tactics of showing strength have worked, through the two consecutive defeats of Meizhen and Pucheng, the high-level devils have finally begun to face up to the threat of our Dameishan Independent Brigade, and even specially sent special forces to spy on the news, otherwise, according to the N nature of the little devil, this time I would have suffered such a big loss and would have taken revenge regardless of the 3721 army, but ......"

Xu Rui didn't say anything, and waited for Leng Tiefeng to follow.

Leng Tiefeng continued: "However, your tactics of showing strength have only played half of the role, and the top brass of the Japanese army in East China have indeed begun to face up to the threat of our Dameishan Independent Brigade, but they have not sent a large army to encircle and suppress as you wished, so your intention to respond to the Huaihe battlefield from the flank and reduce the pressure on the 59th Army has not been achieved." ”

Xu Rui said: "How can you be sure that the little devil will not come to encircle and suppress us?" ”

"Isn't that obvious?" Leng Tiefeng pointed to the top of his head, and said, "If the little devil really intends to send a large army to encircle and suppress our Dameishan base area, how can he only send a few special forces to spy on the news?" If the devils really wanted to make a big move, the sky would have been full of their reconnaissance planes at this moment. ”

"Yes, I'm finally getting better." Xu Rui smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Leng Tiefeng snorted and said, "It seems like how clever you are." ”

Xu Rui laughed, but in the next second, the expression on his face immediately cooled, and Y said compassionately: "It seems that the little devil has also learned to be obedient, and he even knows that he is clumsy." ”

"Old Xu, you should be happy." Leng Tiefeng said, "Since the 918 incident to the present, our Dameishan Independent Brigade is probably still the first squadron that makes the little devils have scruples and dare not take the initiative to provoke, even if this is only temporary, the devils will definitely come to retaliate in the future, but it is enough to be proud." ”

"Proud? Proud P! Xu Rui said coldly, "What is our Dameishan Independent Brigade?" It's a pack of wolves! And the devil is our prey. Have you ever seen a wolf who is complacent because its prey does not dare to provoke? Didn't you? You guessed it, the little devils don't dare to provoke us, we have to take the initiative to provoke them! ”

"Old Xu, isn't it?" Leng Tiefeng lost his voice and said, "You still want to take the initiative?" ”

Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but be surprised, although the independent brigade won the positional battle at Shaqiaogang, but the losses were not small, the first squadron and the second squadron suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the third squadron was even more dead, almost disabled, and now, the entire independent brigade can participate in the battle of less than 400 people, just this, still have to take the initiative to attack?

Xu Rui asked rhetorically: "Why can't you take the initiative?" ”

Leng Tiefeng said: "I don't know what to do, we suffered too many casualties in the battle of Shaqiaogang, more than half of the casualties of the first squadron and the second squadron, the third squadron was almost disabled, and although the fourth and fifth squadrons had no casualties, you have also seen today's incident, this is still a group of bandits who have not changed their nature, and they can't fight a tough battle at all." ”

"The Fourth Squadron and the Fifth Squadron may not have changed their banditry, but it does not mean that they cannot fight tough battles, especially after the baptism of the Battle of Shaqiaogang! What's more, I'm going to make an article about Nan Batian next, and the style of these two squadrons will definitely change a lot after that, and more importantly, ......"

Speaking of this, there was a pause, and then Xu Rui said in an accentuated tone: "What's more, you didn't think that we would take the initiative to attack at this time, and the little devil must not have imagined that this will have the suddenness of surprise and unpreparedness in the art of war, and our chances of success will be greatly increased!" ”

"Well, you're always right." Leng Tiefeng shook his head, he found that he was becoming more and more bad at arguing with Xu Rui, because every time he debated, he would always lose in the end, not only could he not convince Xu Rui, but he was often persuaded by Xu Rui in turn, just like this time, like countless times before.

"And where are you going to attack?" Leng Tiefeng asked again, "Fight Pucheng?" Or is it a direct attack on Pukou? ”

"Directly attack Pukou?!" Xu Rui laughed and said, "Veteran, you really dare to think and speak." ”

Pukou is not only a military town in southern Anhui, but also the end point of the Jinpu Road, but also the northward advance base of the Central China Front, supplying all the military supplies of the 13th Division on the right road, as well as the front-line wounded to transfer to the rear, and the rear reservists to transfer to the front, all of which must be transferred to Pukou for transit.

Leng Tiefeng spread his hands and quipped: "Isn't this the red one who is close to Zhu and the black one who is close to ink?" ”

"Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "Then you praised me, I really didn't think about attacking Pukou directly, you are more daring than me......"

Speaking of which, Xu Rui suddenly stopped talking.

This feeling, it's like N halfway through, and suddenly stops.

Leng Tiefeng was so uncomfortable, frowned and said, "Old Xu, why don't you go on?" ”

Xu Rui waved his hand and groaned: "Veteran, you have reminded me, you have really reminded me, maybe we can really beat Pukou!" ”

"What?" Leng Tiefeng was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice, "Old Xu, I was joking with you just now. ”

"But I'm not joking with you." Xu Rui said, "But you don't need to be too nervous, when I say Pukou, I don't really want to hit Pukou, but to attack the devil's traffic line!" ”

"Hit the little devil's line of communication?" Leng Tiefeng was surprised when he heard this.

Xu Rui said: "Have you forgotten that the reason why we chose Dameishan as a foothold is that we took a fancy to its unique geographical conditions, from Dameishan to the east can cut off the Jinpu Railway, to the south can threaten the Yangtze River, and then expand some, to the north can also threaten the Longhai Line, to the west can threaten the Pinghan Railway." ”

Leng Tiefeng realized that Xu Rui was really not joking, and asked at the moment: "But we don't have any information?" ”

Without intelligence, you don't know when and where the train transporting munitions will arrive, and there is no way to rob it, and if it is just a simple sabotage of the railway, it doesn't make much sense, after all, the manpower of the independent brigade is limited, and it can cut several kilometers of railroad tracks in one night?

"Intelligence?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "There should be sometimes, but for now, let's deal with the bandits of the fourth and fifth squadrons first." ”
