Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cat Bites Its Tail
Guo Xiaoshan's question, even if Li Ziyuan's skin has been extremely thick over the years, he can't help but blush. Li Ziyuan rubbed Guo Xiaoshan's head with some embarrassment and said, "You kid, it's okay to ask about these things that don't matter, and you have that kung fu to think about it, what else do you need to improve about those things." ”
"Didn't your Uncle Shi say just now, when you grow up and marry a daughter-in-law, you will know what's going on. Now you're still a little kid with no hair, and it's still too early to get married, so don't ask about these things that shouldn't be asked. The instructor is a lesbian, so we have to respect her. Remember that respecting the instructor means respecting the woman. ”
Li Ziyuan, who knew that the topic could not always be on the physiological issues of other women, immediately changed the topic after Guo Xiaoshan taught him a lesson: "Old Shi, after we hurry up and rest, we have to transfer as soon as possible." After the little devil finishes searching the mountains over there, he will definitely turn around. There are too many people and horses dispatched by the little devils this time, and the area of this mountainous area is still a little small, so we still don't have much room for maneuver. ”
Li Ziyuan's voice fell, and Shi Jin also nodded. But Shi Jin was puzzled and said: "Captain, there are devils in these four times, which direction shall we transfer?" There are only a dozen of us now, and we don't have much ammunition. Grenades, in particular, are almost gone. If we encounter devils, I'm afraid we'll suffer a big loss. ”
Regarding Shi Jin's words, Li Ziyuan nodded thoughtfully and said: "I also have a headache now, let's avoid encountering the Japanese puppet army as much as possible." Don't worry about Lao Guan, his current location is close to our old base. ”
"Little devils, don't look at the number of troops that have to deal with us, but if you want to say that they don't have the courage to go deep into the old base area. If the Japanese puppet army insists on biting to the death, it will be safe for them to withdraw to the old base area. Lao Guan is an old fritter, and there shouldn't be any big problem with him leading the team. ”
"But the problem is that the devils mobilized so many troops this time, but they didn't destroy us. That Rakuai Kanshiro will definitely not be willing to retreat. Even if he withdraws, there is no way to explain to his superiors. I think he will still take a dragnet sweep in the eastern mountains of Hubei. After all, although our main force rushed out, we are still in the encirclement. ”
Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at Chang Juan, who was hiding behind a bush and didn't know what he was doing, and whispered to Shi Jin: "Old Shi, I'll take Xiaoshan to the front to reconnoitre." You take care of the instructors here, but don't be left behind. We don't have much ammunition left, and there's really no way to save her once. ”
After explaining the history and Jin, Li Ziyuan carried the telescope and Guo Xiaoshan, and rubbed little by little to the place where he could see the movements of the Japanese puppet army in Wangjiagou, and raised the telescope to look at the Japanese puppet army who were having breakfast at the foot of the mountain. Last night, it was obvious that Luo Hekanshiro used the Japanese puppet army here as an outpost to blockade the Hubei Mountains, so he did not mobilize the Japanese puppet army here.
However, after breakfast, the Japanese puppet army here began to gather on the threshing floor at the bottom of the mountain. Looking at the small group of Japanese soldiers gathered on the threshing floor at the bottom of the mountain, two more than two small teams of puppet soldiers, and some puppet military and political personnel in civilian clothes. Li Ziyuan wondered in his heart, these Japanese puppet soldiers would not go into the mountains to search.
If these Japanese puppet troops go into the mountains to search the mountains, they have a way. This mountainous area is indeed a little small for the Japanese puppet army, but it is impossible for them to fill all the gaps. It must be a cross-search method to search the mountains as intensively as possible, so that the opportunity to break through by yourself will come.
Looking at the Japanese puppet army who was training at the foot of the mountain, Li Ziyuan suddenly had an idea. After quickly withdrawing the hidden point, he said to Liu Lianming: "The Japanese puppet army under the mountain, look at the posture and want to enter the mountain to search the mountain." I feel like this is an opportunity for us to follow them and play a game of cat biting tails with them. ”
"This mountain forest is not big, but if the devils want to play with some iron wall, their troops are still a little less. I think they should still adopt the old tactic of dividing and sweeping the whole mountain and forest, and gradually search the mountain. In this way, our chance to break through came. ”
"We won't break through in other directions, just follow behind this Japanese puppet army at the bottom of the mountain, and let them help us fight the front station. Lao Liu, you take three people to form a tactical group and walk in front of everyone. You are following behind the Japanese puppet army, not only to ensure that you will not be discovered, but also to ensure that you will not be lost. ”
"During the operation, we must be more careful not to be discovered by the Japanese puppet army. If you encounter stragglers left behind by the Japanese puppet army, you can solve it with a knife if you can solve it with a knife. There is one thing, as long as the Japanese puppet army brigade does not find you, you must not shoot. Lao Shi took three people and covered behind him. ”
After quickly arranging the task, Li Ziyuan set off with the troops without the slightest hesitation. followed behind the Japanese puppet army that entered the mountains in Wangjiagou and marched all the way to the east. Sure enough, along the way, although they passed by several other Japanese puppet troops, with the "friendly army" in front, the other party has not been able to find them.
This Japanese puppet army walked after entering the mountain, and Li Ziyuan followed behind him with his troops. The Japanese puppet army stopped to search the mountains, and they were looking for a hidden place to hide. The Japanese puppet army stopped to rest, and they also stopped to rest. Although he only walked more than 30 miles a day, he basically ensured the safety of the Japanese puppet army.
The Japanese puppet army in front of them never found that they were following behind them. On the contrary, when they were in contact with other Japanese puppet armies, when they used flags to contact each other to report their progress, they invisibly provided a security guarantee for Li Ziyuan's department. However, the plainclothes teams that followed the actions of the Japanese puppet army were quite vigilant. Several times Liu Lianming was almost a little bit undiscovered by these plainclothes.
At the same time, the ability of these plainclothes to march in the mountains is far inferior to that of those Japanese puppet troops. In many cases, the scattered stragglers also caused a lot of trouble to Liu Lianming in front. If it weren't for Li Ziyuan's repeated advice, Liu Lianming, who was very angry by these plainclothes teams, almost didn't get rid of a few of them a few times.
The Japanese puppet army that set out from Wangjiagou to search the mountains operated for three whole days. Li Ziyuan also followed behind this Japanese puppet army and acted for three days. In the past three days, although the safety is higher, the speed of action is quite slow. On the second day, Li Ziyuan's department had already exhausted the dry food on hand.
It was only by Guo Xiaoshan that he found some edible wild fruits and wild vegetables to maintain some of his physical strength, and on the third night, he jumped out of the circle of the Japanese puppet army in the northeast of Xinghuagou. After jumping out of the encirclement, Li Ziyuan's heart was completely relaxed. He didn't rush to find the troops, but tried to get some food first, so that everyone could pad their stomachs first.
At dawn the next day, he marched in the direction of the main force led by Guan Li. However, looking at Chang Juan's sallow face, Li Ziyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to carry her on his back. It is still very close to the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, and if you fall behind again, there is still a possibility of being captured.
Although he jumped out of the circle, Li Ziyuan, who clearly knew that everything was fine at the moment, still did not dare to relax too much. When marching, Liu Lianming still took a group and stood in front of him. And he himself took the rest of the men with him, always marching in battle formation.
Facts have proved that Li Ziyuan's approach is still correct. Shortly after their departure, they were confronted by a group of armed men dressed in civilian clothes. Of course, it wasn't an encounter, but the armed men walked the mountain road. A small team led by Li Ziyuan walked on the ridge.
Liu Lianming, who was at the front station, first discovered the unidentified armed men in front, but the group had not yet discovered Li Ziyuan's department, which was already close at hand. Originally, Liu Lianming thought that this force was a reconnaissance sent by the division, but if it wasn't for Li Ziyuan's repeated instructions before departure, he would almost have to go to say hello.
But Li Ziyuan, who rushed over after receiving the report, discovered the anomaly of this unknown force. First of all, the armament was too sophisticated, although everyone was armed with all Czech-made rifles and a Czech light machine gun. All the armaments of this equipment subdivision are not capable of being reached by a single unit at all.
And all of them still have a shell gun faintly stuck in their waists. Judging from the magazines under the body of the gun, these shell guns are not the most common Dagu or Gong-made shell guns in the Shanxi battlefield, let alone the big-eyed boxes made in Shanxi, they should all be German-made fast and slow machines.
Looking at this unidentified and well-armed equipment, Li Ziyuan was very greedy. It's just that the identity of this armed force makes him a little unsure. Could it be that this force is the national army on the other side of Lingchuan, but no matter how you look at it, it is not too similar. The Central Army on the Lingchuan side had been transferred back to the south bank of the Yellow River, and the miscellaneous army of the group army left behind did not have such a good gun as a Czech-made rifle.
At the same time, from Lingchuan to Hubei, in addition to going through the enemy-occupied area, almost the entire base area must be traversed. Regardless of the friendly forces on that side, if they cross the military division, the division will not send escorts. Moreover, from the perspective of walking posture, this plainclothes armed force does not look like friendly troops, but looks like Japanese troops.
Looking at Li Ziyuan, who was a little hesitant, Liu Lianming, who was very greedy for the weapons on the unidentified armed forces, said: "Captain, it's not our own people here, there must be no other troops except the Japanese puppet army." Isn't it a guy who him. Just use the bullets on these guys to replenish our ammunition consumption. I'm guaranteed five minutes to solve the fight with these guys, and there's absolutely no problem. ”
Liu Lianming's suggestion, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it first, just calm down and observe and see what their identities are." If the Japanese puppet army messes with him, it is not a problem, but the problem is that they are not the Japanese puppet army. If this is wrong, we have no way to explain it to our superiors. ”
After suppressing Liu Lianming, who wanted to fight a guy, Li Ziyuan cautiously observed that the team was unidentified, with more than 20 people, but it was extremely well-equipped. From the posture of walking in this armed group, to the demeanor of its speech and movements, Li Ziyuan looked very carefully.
After this observation, Li Ziyuan can conclude from the demeanor of these people that these people are not any of his friendly troops, but the plainclothes team of the Japanese puppet army. It was only more than 20 miles away from the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, but this force was swaggering and did not make any preparations for battle.
What does a plainclothes squad do? It is to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. With such a large-scale mobilization of the Japanese puppet army in the mountainous area east of Hubei, it is impossible for a plainclothes team not to know about it. is so close to the Japanese puppet army, and he doesn't make any preparations for battle, and he is still walking so swaggering on the mountain road, isn't that equivalent to looking for his own death?
