On the highway leading from the southern Hebei base area to the Taihang base area.

"Driving~"

Liu Shun, a soldier of the Independent Regiment, rode a horse of an ordinary military riding horse, and his eyes swept ahead with a sharp gaze.

He is an observer.

In many combat missions with Wang Xikui, he was mainly responsible for observing the battlefield, measuring the environment, measuring the distance of the target and other data, and making judgments on the priority of the target, so as to formulate tactics and provide guidance for the sniper's attack.

According to those mysterious instructors,

The professionalism of the observer, compared to the sniper, is not weak in any way.

And even in some ways,

Because the observer needs to quickly make a quick judgment on the enemy and decide the target of attack in the complex and chaotic battlefield, it is the mind of the sniper team.

As a result, observers are generally highly capable of detection.

In the all-regimental reconnaissance competition of the independent regiment, Liu Shun ranked second.

The first is Wei monk Wei Dayong, the regiment commander and guard, and also the commander of the independent guard company.

Their mission this time is to find the devil troops who have infiltrated this area.

On horseback, in addition to a walkie-talkie, there is also a sniper model of the 98K - as an observer, you must also have good enough marksmanship, as well as some observation equipment.

The Sniper and Observer are interchangeable.

···

"Haven't found it yet?"

Taihang base.

Headquarters.

The Deputy General Staff looked at the staff officers of the General Staff.

At this time, in the General Staff, the sound of the radio was constantly ringing.

Although the distance between the General Staff Headquarters and the base areas in southern Hebei exceeds the maximum communication distance of walkie-talkies by 40 kilometers, even the distance by road between the two base areas is more than 40 kilometers.

However, with the popularization of hundreds of short-wave radios every month, as well as the communication short-wave radios carried by 100 heavy trucks, there are also backup radios on board.

The number of short-wave radio stations that can communicate with each other in the medium and long distances has exceeded 500.

It is unrealistic to meet the needs of the whole army.

Even with the scale of the Eighth Route Army in North China today, it would take about 1,000 radio stations to meet the requirements, but there is no problem in building a communication network covering Taihang, Taiyue, southern Hebei, and Shaanxi-Gansu border areas.

Coupled with the relay relay of walkie-talkies, the headquarters can grasp the situation on the front line in real time almost within 10 minutes.

"Nope."

One of the staff officers put down his headphones and replied:

"The last time I found it was in Luoling, Huxian County, but I lost my target last night."

"Keep looking."

The deputy general staff spoke calmly, but sighed in his heart.

With the expansion of the base area, a large number of devil-occupied areas have been recovered, and the three areas of Taihang, Taiyue, and southern Hebei finally have a stable transportation channel under the complete control of the troops.

New problems have emerged.

Investigation.

Problems arose in the troops' reconnaissance of the base areas.

Once a small unit at the level of the devil's brigade infiltrates into the vicinity of the base area, it is difficult to discover it in time, and it is also difficult to completely grasp the whereabouts of the small force of the devil.

Sometimes if you find it, you lose your target.

The night is the best cover.

The complex terrain, rugged paths, and dozens of kilometers around the two wings of the highway are a large number of devil strongholds, and the enemy and our forces are intertwined, and hundreds of devils drill into the mountains, hiding in the ravines and grass, and it is difficult to trace them.

In the past, the troops often relied on the night to avoid the tracking of the devils, but now the devils take advantage of the night to avoid the tracking of the Eighth Route Army.

And at present, under construction, the Fan base area intelligence network, only targeted

"Hehe..."

Thinking of this, the Deputy General Staff couldn't help but smile in his heart.

In less than a year, the roles between the troops and the devils were reversed, and the devils began to attack the Eighth Route Army convoy.

And

A brigade, estimated at 500 to 800 devils, has gone from last year's thorny hard bones, which can't be eaten even if their teeth are knocked out, to today's small troops, which can be easily annihilated after discovery.

The changes between them made the Deputy General Staff unable to help but feel uncomfortable.

After a brief sigh, the Deputy General Staff quickly regained his mentality.

Even if the small force infiltrated by the devils could not be detected in time, it would have no effect.

The devil squad, the mobile troops in the Taihang base area are enough to easily expel them, or even suffer heavy losses and annihilate them, as long as the devil troops at the brigade level enter the base area, it is not a problem.

Anyway, now the main transport force is already a fleet of heavy-duty trucks.

Moreover, the large-scale offensive that is about to start will also completely empty the devil's stronghold near the highway between Taihang and the southern Hebei base area, clean up the devil's forces, and completely connect the Taihang and southern Hebei base areas.

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately went to carry it out.

···

"Scouting."

Yang Village,

Li Yunlong also frowned because of this question.

Although he sent the most elite reconnaissance platoon of the independent regiment, there were reconnaissance masters like Wang Xikui and Liu Shun, it took a day to find the devil brigade that infiltrated into the vicinity of the highway.

"We need to strengthen our investigative methods."

He couldn't help but sigh.

With the expansion of the battlefield, in a vast battlefield involving 100 kilometers, looking for hundreds of devils who have been hidden, the previous reconnaissance methods can no longer meet the needs of the troops.

"Next time, ask Brother Lu."

"Or..."

While pondering in his heart, Li Yunlong opened the list and looked at the Black Hawk helicopter inside.

Among the accessories of the Black Hawk helicopter, there is a photoelectric reconnaissance compartment, which has infrared, low-light night vision, magnification and other tracking and reconnaissance capabilities, and cooperates with the flight performance of the Black Hawk helicopter, which is simply an excellent reconnaissance weapon.

"It's a pity."

Li Yunlong shook his head.

He now has only one Black Hawk Fragment in his hand, and he is nine short of redeeming.

···

That day.

Late at night.

"Captain, one and a half kilometers ahead, it's the road of Tuba Road."

The elite brigade, led by the deputy captain of the Heze Wing, quietly approached the highway from Taihang to southern Hebei.

"Hidden."

The deputy wing commander immediately ordered the troops to take cover.

At this point, they have penetrated deep into the so-called base area of Tuba Road, and they are close to the powerful Taihang base area, once they are discovered, they will be surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops, and it is difficult for the locust army to support it in time.

"Rest."

"Send a detachment and keep an eye on the road."

The deputy wing commander continued to command.

According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army had only a small car transport convoy at night, about twenty or thirty trucks, and the scale of transportation was limited. A massive convoy of four or five hundred horse-drawn carts of mules and horses will only appear during the day.

And it is only during the day that ground aviation support can be effectively played.

So he chose to attack during the day.

Rest in seclusion at night.

"Hey."

There are more than 800 devils, all of whom are hidden in the grass in the mountains.

Subsequently, more than a dozen devils, under the cover of night, quietly approached the highway.

Participating in the reconnaissance was a detachment commanded by Yuei Shiratori.

····

"Be hidden."

Shiratori Yuei, who received the pre-task, was extremely reluctant.

He understood,

The casualties of the troops who rushed close to the enemy's positions to reconnoiter were extremely high.

Especially in the past six months, in the battle with the Eighth Route Army.

However, he is just a small squad leader, equivalent to the squad leader of the Eighth Route Army, and the orders of his superiors cannot be resisted, so he can only honestly carry out the orders.

Not to mention that there are some fanatical fools in his team, who only think about breaking the locust jade.

Fortunately, there are policies and countermeasures.

Shiratori Yuei naturally didn't want to put himself in a dangerous situation, so he took his infantry detachment and took a detour to the side road and slowly approached the vicinity of the road for safety reasons.

In the end, coincidentally, Shiratori Yuei approached the highway for more than fifty meters.

When Shiratori Yuei took a dozen devils and approached the highway in a hidden way, with the help of the faint moonlight, they saw a scene that shocked them.

On a straight and wide road,

Big cars, with faint red lights, drove off in the moonlight.

Through the binoculars, you can see that the compartments of these trucks are full of supplies, even if they are wrapped in oilcloth, you can tell through the outline that there are bags of grain inside.

In the front of the car, there was also a huge machine gun.

Near the convoy, there was also a patrol of the Eighth Route Army on horseback.

"This truck has to be bigger than a ship?"

"That's faster than a military horse, isn't it?"

"How many tons can you pull at a time?"

A dozen or so devils looked at the huge truck in front of them in shock.

Thinking of the military one-five-ton truck of his own locust army, when he saw the giant truck in front of him, which was comparable to the navy's careful transport ship, the deputy captain of the devil even stood up unconsciously.

The gap is too big!

It's too big.

On a single wheel, it's as tall as the head of an empire truck.

The enemy actually has such a huge truck.

How many tons of supplies can this one transport?

At this moment, it is the first time that the devil has seen a violent mechanical monster from the Slavs of later generations!

The moonlight was faint, and the eye could only see a hundred meters away.

At this time, the devil detachment where Shiratori Yuei was located, about eighty meters away from the road, was still hidden behind the ditch, and it stands to reason that the people on the truck could not see the devils at this distance.

But...

Knock knock!

Yuei Shiratori's familiar voice suddenly sounded.

I saw the machine guns on the heads of the giant trucks, suddenly turning their muzzles and aiming at the location of the Shiratori Yuei detachment, and the dense bullets rained down like raindrops.

"Retreat."

The first time he heard the voice, Shiratori Yuei was the first to decisively run away.

Thanks to his resolute escape, Shiratori Yuei was lucky to survive and was unscathed, and he also remembered his duties as a detachment leader and gave an order to retreat.

Let a few of the devils who were lying on their stomachs also survive.

But the few devils who stood up, including the team leader, were not so lucky, and were beaten into stumps on the spot.

···

"Nani, discovered?"

When Shiratori rushed to the headquarters of the brigade from Rong to report and asked one by one, the deputy captain of the Heze United was shocked.

nighttime

More than 80 meters apart,

How did you discover the reconnaissance detachment hidden in the grass?

"Captain, what are we going to do?"

The captain on the side asked.

The reconnaissance detachment was discovered, and if the ambush continues here, there is a high probability that something will go wrong.

"Is it some kind of advanced technology?"

The deputy captain of the Kawasawa United muttered in his heart.

The Eighth Route Army has a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, which have been deeply engraved into the hearts of the devil officers.

He thought about it,

Recently, the locust army has been sending small detachments close to the road, and has fought with the Tuba Road many times, and the 30th Brigade has also launched an attack on the road, and a single reconnaissance detachment has been discovered, which should not be exposed.

So he gave a decisive order:

"Clean up the traces and march to the right."

He decided to continue the ambush. (End of chapter)
