Chapter 33 Lighting the Sky Lantern
The group finally set off. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When you get on the road, the benefits of having a car are immediately apparent. Everyone was lightly armed, and the speed was no different from a normal march. According to Chen Liu's speculation, if there is no obstacle along the way, he can reach Dashu Fort in three days at most. A little faster than Dai Lan's estimate.
In fact, it is impossible to do without blockades.
According to the previous captives, the ten miles and eight villages and the key passes of the roads in this vicinity have been completely controlled by the Sichuan army. After walking out for more than an hour, Cheng Nuo and the others had already encountered a group of Sichuan army squads who came out to carry out patrol tasks.
At this point in time, except for those who had determined the objectives of the march and had already found traces of the lone Red Army and dispersed, the size of the troops carrying out patrol tasks was basically based on squads and below.
For this kind of patrol team encountered on the road, the principle given by Cheng Nuo is to strike first, that is, to check their identities first.
There was Cheng Nuo, a regimental staff officer on a tall horse, and none of the Sichuan troops he encountered dared to refuse.
This is often the case, the more powerful you are, the more arrogant you behave, the less likely it is to arouse the suspicion of the other party, the flaws that Chen Liu was worried about before, like a mule cart and a wounded man, those Sichuan troops no one paid attention to it at all, on the contrary, many people saw the wounded sitting in the car but showed envious eyes, obviously thinking that he had met a good commander.
In fact, it's really not to blame these Sichuan troops for their low vigilance. In this area, the Red Army was basically scattered, and when the Red Army broke through, it was impossible for a group of three at most, and there could be no more platoon-sized troops.
The eyes of these Sichuan troops are actually very shrewd, and at a glance, they have long seen the collar badges and badges of Cheng Nuo's team, which are definitely from the same company, and although the military uniforms are not clean, they are very complete from top to bottom, unless this unit is captured in a structured way, this will never be done.
… Except for a few who were beaten by Chen Liu and others last night, the others were shot in the head by Cheng Nuo, and there is really no possibility that the clothes will be damaged.
After walking for hours without danger, the tension in the team dissipated a lot.
Seeing that it was noon, Cheng Nuo turned his head to see that Dai Lan had already shown a tired look, so he arranged to rest and eat. Several female warriors suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to get out of the way, and found a big tree next to them and sat down.
Chen Liu's face was a little helpless. This is actually the third break since the departure in the morning. In his opinion, at this intensity of the march, resting once an hour or so is too frequent. Not to mention having to make time for lunch, since the Long March, it has long been a habit to eat twice a day and eat while walking.
Of course, Cheng Nuo would not say that he felt sorry for Dai Lan, and he explained that he could maintain his physical strength to the greatest extent by doing so. In fact, it was true in the knowledge of recruits he received.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Cheng Nuo doesn't explain, Chen Liu understands very well in his heart that this speed is many times stronger than day and night.
After resting for a while, the female warriors, under the leadership of Dai Lan, stood up, took a part of the dry food they carried in the car and distributed it to everyone, and each of them cut a small piece of bacon. Cheng Nuo's meal was delivered by a female warrior, Cheng Nuo turned his head to look at Dai Lan, who was in charge of distributing the meal, and people didn't look at him at all.
The bacon is very thin, and the thin ones are about to melt in the mouth, and even so, the soldiers are still swallowing and swallowing, and they are reluctant to swallow it for a long time.
I said before that I brought all the meat I could find, that is, a strip of bacon about 50 cm long... The food of ordinary Sichuan soldiers is not very good.
Cheng Nuo gave a break of half an hour, so that everyone could take a little rest after eating.
Boom, boom, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out ahead. It's very close.
Everyone immediately stood up vigilantly and quickly found cover.
Cheng Nuo first looked at Dai Lan, and saw that she and several female warriors had also hid behind a tree before relieving their hearts, and made a gesture to her to lower their bodies and not to move.
Two Red Army soldiers in gray uniforms soon came into view. Only one of the two people was holding a shell gun, and he turned around to shoot while running, and the other was holding a rifle but did not return fire, and it was estimated that there were no bullets. And seeing that their steps are already a little chaotic, it is obvious that their physical strength is already a little exhausted.
Behind him, a group of Sichuan soldiers shouted and chased after them.
"It's your own people!" Chen Liu, who was on the side, called out in a low voice and turned his head to look at Cheng Nuo.
"It's our company commander!" The other soldier shouted and rushed directly onto the road, and several soldiers beside him subconsciously followed.
A group of Sichuan troops suddenly appeared in front of him, and the Red Army company commander holding a shell gun didn't think about it, and shot at the soldiers who rushed down, click, fortunately, there were no bullets in the gun.
The Red Army company commander pulled the plate machine twice.
The warrior was stunned.
… Lo and behold, this is the consequence of impulsiveness.
The Red Army company commander didn't recognize who the person in front of him was, first, the physical and mental consumption was too great, which affected his judgment, and secondly, all the soldiers smeared their faces black and white before leaving, which somewhat covered up the original appearance, plus a large number of people in Sichuan army uniforms together... If you can deceive the soldiers of the Sichuan Army, you can also deceive the Red Army.
After such a stunned effort, the Sichuan army had already caught up, and when they saw that the two Red Army soldiers had been stopped, they all stood up and pulled up the bolts. Of course, no one fired a shot, after all, there were their own people standing opposite.
The fighters who rushed down also subconsciously raised their guns.
The Red Army company commander exhaled and stood back to back in the middle with the soldier with a rifle in hand, looking at the approaching enemy.
Syllable! Cheng Nuo raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky and walked out of the side of the road.
Chen Liu, who was behind, made two gestures covertly, and several fighters immediately split into two and ran towards the front and rear respectively.
Only then did the soldiers who rushed down react and looked at Cheng Nuo one after another.
"Report to the chief, we are from the Sichuan side," a small leader of the Sichuan army looked at Cheng Nuo's badge and reported: "The Red I bandits are being pursued." ”
Cheng Nuo nodded.
"These two Red Bandits have killed several of our brothers," the little leader pointed to the two Red Army soldiers who were surrounded, and his tone was obviously fierce: "Please give them to us, sir, and let us avenge the dead brothers..."
Cheng Nuo didn't speak, stretched out his hand and pressed down on the two people holding guns.
The Red Army soldiers who rushed out first lowered their guns, and although the seven or eight Sichuan soldiers on the opposite side felt a little strange, they also subconsciously lowered their guns.
"These two red bandits can really run, we chased him for almost a morning," the little leader said hatefully: "Bring it back in a while, and directly light the sky lantern for the two of them!" ”
