Fu Zhiyong and You Zhiqing had already discussed it before the team set off, and the two sides sent a total of three squads of troops to serve as the advance reconnaissance and vigilance tasks for the large army, and the soldiers of the two squads on the left and right sides were You Zhiqing's two squads in charge of the vigilance, and the front of the large army was responsible for the reconnaissance task led by Zhao Hu led by Li Qiusheng and half of the squad under him, although the number was relatively small, but the firepower was not bad at all. And each of them is a jungle master with accurate marksmanship and good at running, even if he suddenly encounters a Japanese army, he still has that ability to get out if he can't beat it.

The three infantry squads, which were responsible for vigilance and reconnaissance tasks, were all very scattered, and they always kept a distance of about 200 meters from the main troops, so that once they found that the devils had exchanged fire, they could give the large troops sufficient time to prepare and expand their ranks, so as not to be disrupted by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

In order to grasp the surrounding situation in a timely manner, the three squads that were responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance tasks would send a soldier back every five minutes to deliver the latest situation, and soon after they rushed back to their respective guard posts, another soldier would return to the large unit to continue to report the situation. It can also effectively ensure the smooth flow of information, and this method is very effective in the march of troops lacking communication tools.

However, this method also has serious drawbacks, that is, it is not suitable for large units with a large number of troops, and it is sufficient to send an outpost at the battalion and company level to 200 meters, because the number of personnel is small, and the process of changing the state of the troops from marching formation to deploying into a combat position can be completed in a few minutes.

If a large unit at or above the regimental level is obviously unable to do this, the reconnaissance and vigilance of the unit will have to constantly advance and advance according to the increase in the size of the unit; once it exceeds 500 meters, it will not be effective at all, and the length of time for round-trip reporting is secondary, and the main thing is whether the small number of troops in charge of reconnaissance in front can block the enemy and gain time for the large force to open up the formation.

The transition of a regiment from marching formation to battle formation means that it takes at least fifteen to twenty-five minutes for the most elite troops to be fully seated in difficult terrain, and this fifteen to twenty-five minutes alone is enough time for the enemy to charge back and forth in front of them three or four times.

A small group of enemies did not dare to attack rashly, and a large group of enemy reconnaissance troops would certainly not be able to stop them.

"Well, continue to be vigilant, we have entered the territory of Langxi, inform everyone to be careful." You Zhiqing explained to the soldier who reported the news.

"Yes, company commander." The soldier said yes and ran out again with his rifle in his hand.

"All of them, convey orders one by one, keep the alert line forward, and tie everything that makes a noise to me, and don't make the slightest sound." Fu Zhiyong shouted an order to the two columns of troops marching in front of him.

"Pass down, keep the alert formation and don't make a sound." "Pass down, keep the alert formation and don't make a sound." The soldiers in the "Down...... Team immediately passed Fu Zhiyong's orders one by one, and the whole team immediately took action for a while, and each soldier began to check the equipment on his body while marching, strictly implementing Fu Zhiyong's orders.

In a short time, the formation of the troops slowly spread, except for a platoon of soldiers who took care of the disabled soldiers in the middle, the other soldiers were all slowly dispersed in squads, and the soldiers all raised their guns to guard the surrounding situation and slowly moved forward, and the speed of the whole team immediately slowed down for a while.

Although the New Fourth Army did not receive direct orders from the company commander, they subconsciously opened up the distance one after another, and the speed slowed down a lot.

Although Fu Zhiyong was not their direct commander, You Zhiqing had already issued an order before departure, that is, all actions must be under Fu Zhiyong's command, and no special circumstances should be disobeyed.

You Zhiqing got along with Fu Zhiyong after this period of time, the more he learned about Fu Zhiyong, the more he admired it in his heart, not only in terms of commanding the troops to fight, but even his personal ability and courage to lead the team to fight are not half a star, even Liao Peng He can't surpass it, let alone Fu Zhiyong, so he temporarily handed over the command of his troops to Fu Zhiyong, he raised his hands in favor, after all, the troops in the hands of Fu Zhiyong can exert more combat effectiveness than commanding by himself, It can also better ensure that the losses of the troops are reduced.

Fu Zhiyong led the troops scattered in formation and marched forward for less than a hundred meters when he suddenly heard a dull explosion, and the direction of the sound was exactly the front of the team.

"All personnel stop moving forward, hide!" Fu Zhiyong was startled and immediately raised his left hand and shouted, signaling all the personnel to stop and hide nearby, because the situation in front is unknown, and the uncertainty of rushing forward is too great, and it is absolutely impossible to risk blindly advancing.

"Chen San! Take two people to the front to see the situation, and don't shoot unless you have to. Fu Zhiyong half-squatted in a bush and shouted to Chen San, who was searching for targets with a sniper rifle not far away.

At this time, Fu Zhiyong no longer needs to keep the troops moving forward in concealment, the sound of explosions in front is enough to spread two or three kilometers away in this gentle terrain, the intentions of the troops have been completely exposed, now the important thing is to understand what the situation in front of is going on, why only one explosion was heard, there was no follow-up, it stands to reason that Li Qiusheng and they have seven people in front of them to be responsible for reconnaissance, how can an explosion kill them all, if there are devils in the ambush, No matter what, there would have been an exchange of fire, but so far not a single gunshot has been heard, which is completely unreasonable.

"Well, you two come with me, pay attention to lower your body and move forward......" Chen San didn't hesitate, waved his hand, and the two soldiers took the lead and ran out......

"Battalion Commander Fu, this situation is wrong, why didn't you hear the gunshot?" You Zhiqing, who was squatting behind the big tree on the side, also found that something was wrong with the situation, and hurriedly raised his gun to guard the front, and asked Zhi Yong suspiciously.

"Well, it doesn't seem to have been attacked by devils." Fu Zhiyong nodded without looking back, but his eyes kept staring at the front, as if he could really see something through the dense woods......

"Medic! Medic! Hurry up and ...... Hurry up with me to the front to save someone, a brother has stepped on a landmine. Less than two minutes after Chen San and the two soldiers left, they ran back in a rage and shouted at the few medical guards in the team who were hiding behind the big trees.

"Ahh Liu Mei, come with me to the front to save people......" As soon as Bai Yuling heard Chen San say that someone had stepped on a mine and was injured, she immediately beckoned Liu Mei beside her and ran forward.

"Sister Bai, wait for me......" Liu Mei also immediately stood up and chased after a large medicine box with a large medicine box on her back......

"Come with me...... one soldier immediately greeted and ran in front to lead the way for Bai Yuling and the two of them to save people, while another soldier grabbed an improvised stretcher in the team of the medical team and ran out reflexively again, it seems that the soldier who stepped on the mine was not lightly injured.

"Landmines? How can there be mines? You Zhiqing looked surprised with a look of disbelief.

"Chen San, what's going on in front of you?" Fu Zhiyong also stood up at this time, put down the rifle in his hand and asked Chen Sanning with a frown.

"Li Qiusheng, they cut the barbed wire fence of the blockade line and walked forward less than thirty meters before stepping on a mine, one soldier's legs were directly blown up, and two other soldiers who were closer were affected, hey, what is the specific situation, or the battalion commander, you and I went directly to the front and asked Li Qiusheng, I just hurriedly asked two words and ran back to call someone." Chen San said quickly, because he didn't know much about the situation, so he couldn't say more in detail.

"Let's go, let's take a look, Company Commander You, you organize the troops to follow later, remember to let everyone be careful under their feet, don't step on the mines again." After Fu Zhiyong explained to You Zhiqing, he followed Chen San to the accident site.

Just as Fu Zhiyong and the others left on the front foot, Namie Oda and Yuhimeko Sakai also broke away from the medical team and quickly chased in the direction of Fu Zhiyong.

"What's going on? How did the two of them get past too? Yu Hua! You immediately take your people to chase after me, keep an eye on them for me, and don't let them make any small moves. Liao Peng saw that the two Japanese medical soldiers had actually broken away from the team and ran up, and hurriedly shouted an order to Yu Hua in the distance.

"Follow me in the second platoon, ......" After Yu Hua heard Liao Peng's order, he immediately led his soldiers to chase after the two Japanese medical soldiers.

Although Yu Hua was not an officer in the gendarmerie unit, he was also a corporal squad leader with a blue bar and a bean, so this time his position in the unit was one level higher than that of Zhao Hu and Li Qiusheng......

"Li Qiusheng, what the hell is going on?" Before Fu Zhiyong and Chen San arrived at the barbed wire fence in the blockade area, they had to crawl in to check on the bombing of the soldiers.

"Battalion commander, don't come in, there are mines!" Li Qiusheng was lying on the ground and was carefully checking something in the grass with his saber, and when he heard Fu Zhiyong's shout and turned around, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly shouted to Zhiyong to remind.
