cpa300_4; Xu Rui led Leng Tiefeng and followed the traces left by Oluhara Junsi, Ito Tamanosuke and others until they reached the place where Nan Batian chased him yesterday.
"Old Xu, there are no traces left," Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui nodded and said solemnly: "It seems that Pumpkin and the others were lost here."
"This Japs is not simple." Leng Tiefeng leaned down and carefully checked the ground again, but still found nothing. He immediately continued, "At least he has received special anti-tracking training. Look at the ground, it is so clean.
It was as if it had been swept away, not even a trace was left behind."
"That's not necessarily the case." Xu Rui smiled and then closed his eyes.
A few seconds later, Xu Rui's eyes suddenly opened again, then he turned to look to the west and said in a deep voice: "This way! The Japanese are going in this direction, and they are not one, but two of them!"
"Two people?" Leng Tiefeng said, "You mean there are still Japs to help?"
"That's right." Xu Rui nodded and said, "I smelled the breath of three people. One of them is Huang Shouyi. Besides Huang Shouyi, there are two other people."
"It seems like the Japanese are here well prepared," Leng Tiefeng said.
The two of them were talking as they chased down to the west.
After chasing for only four or five miles, the two of them found new traces on the edge of a piece of dry land. They saw only a few obvious light tire marks left on the ground.
Leng Tiefeng squatted down, compared the width of the tire tracks with his hand, and said, "It should be a three-wheeled motorcycle."
Xu Rui also squatted down and observed the tire marks and said: "There are two tire tracks. Some of them are blurry, indicating that the Japanese were here yesterday, but the other few are very fresh. Looking at them over time, they haven't left here yet."
By half an hour, that means they were still here half an hour ago."
"Were you here half an hour ago?" Leng Tiefeng immediately became alert and loaded the bullet with a click.
"Don't be nervous, the Japs have definitely left." Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "However, Pumpkin and the others have been following the Japs for two hours, but the Japs just left here half an hour ago, leaving an hour and a half left.
, have they always been hiding here? They shouldn’t be.”
Leng Tiefeng walked in the opposite direction of the tire tracks, and after a moment he shouted: "Old Xu, there are footprints here!"
When Xu Rui came over, Leng Tiefeng was already climbing up the mountain following the footprints and said, "The devils went up the mountain from here, but they don't know why they went up the mountain."
Xu Rui looked down and saw clear footprints on the ground. Obviously, the two Japs didn't think that the pursuers of the Independent Brigade would find this place, so they didn't spend any more energy cleaning up the traces.
Now the two of them followed the footprints left by the Japanese and climbed up the remainder of Qingniuling.
Finally, the two stopped at the previous hiding place of Shunsi Ogawara and Tamanosuke Ito.
"This is right here." Leng Tiefeng found two traces behind a rock, then pointed at the two patches of grass that had obviously been run over by someone, and said, "The two Japs should be hiding here, spying on us."
An evil smile immediately appeared at the corner of Xu Rui's mouth. No wonder he felt like someone was spying on them when he got out of the car. Unexpectedly, there were two Japs hiding here to monitor them. However, these two Japs had already kidnapped Huang Shouyi.
And most of the time you've already gotten the information you want, so why haven't you left yet? Why do you still want to stay here and continue to spy on them?
When Xu Rui was guessing, Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, it's obvious. This is a spy carried out by the little devils against our Dameishan base. Judging from the results, the little devils have obviously obtained the information they want, and even
Yu also conveniently kidnapped Huang Shouyi, who was imprisoned in a labor camp."
Xu Rui said: "Do you think the Japanese kidnapped Huang Shouyi just conveniently?"
"That's for sure." Leng Tiefeng said, "Huang Shouyi is not an important figure, and it is not worthy for the Japanese to send out such elite special forces to rescue him. You should also see, Old Xu, that he came to our Dameishan base to spy this time.
These are not ordinary Japs, but the elite among the Japs, special forces just like you and me."
"This is indeed the case." Xu Rui nodded, "These two devils are indeed extraordinary."
Leng Tiefeng continued: "Old Xu, it seems that your show of strength tactics have worked. After two consecutive losses in Meizhen and Pucheng, the top Japanese leaders finally began to face the threat of our Dameishan Independent Brigade, and even
A special force was specially sent to spy on the news. Otherwise, according to the little devil's urine, if he suffered such a big loss this time, he would have sent an army back to take revenge regardless of the situation, but..."
Xu Rui said nothing and waited quietly for Leng Tiefeng to say more.
Leng Tiefeng continued: "However, your show of strength tactics only played half of the role. The senior leaders of the Japanese army in East China have indeed begun to face the threat of our Dameishan Independent Brigade, but they have not sent out a large army to encircle and suppress them as you wanted.
,So, your intention to support the Huaihe battlefield from the flanks and reduce the pressure on the 59th Army has not been achieved."
Xu Rui said: "How can you be sure that the little devils will not come to surround us?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Leng Tiefeng pointed to the top of his head and said, "If the little devil really wanted to send out a large army to encircle and suppress our Dameishan base area, how could he send only a few special forces to spy on the news?
?If the Japanese really wanted to start a big war, the sky would be filled with their reconnaissance planes at this moment."
"Not bad, I finally made some progress." Xu Rui smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Leng Tiefeng snorted and said, "It sounds like you are so smart."
Xu Rui laughed, but the next second, his expression immediately turned cold, and he said sadly: "It seems that the little devil has learned well and actually knows how to hide his clumsiness."
"Old Xu, you should be lucky." Leng Tiefeng said, "Since the September 18th Incident, our Dameishan Independent Brigade is probably the first squadron that has made the little devils wary and dare not take the initiative to provoke.
It's just temporary, the Japanese will definitely come to take revenge in the future, but it's enough to be proud of."
"Conceited? So arrogant!" Xu Rui said coldly, "What is our Dameishan Independent Brigade? We are a pack of wolves! And the Japanese are our prey. Have you ever seen a wolf that is complacent because its prey does not dare to provoke? No, right?
You guessed it right, the little devils don’t dare to provoke us, so we have to take the initiative to provoke them!"
"Old Xu, isn't it?" Leng Tiefeng lost his voice, "You still want to take the initiative?"
Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but be surprised. Although the Independence Brigade won the position battle at Shaqiao Gang, the losses were not small. Nearly half of the casualties in the 1st and 2nd Squadrons, and most of the 3rd Squadrons were killed and almost disabled.
Nowadays, the entire independent brigade has less than 400 troops to participate in the war. Just like this, we still want to take the initiative?
Xu Rui asked: "Why can't we take the initiative?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "Isn't this obvious? We suffered too many casualties in the battle at Shaqiaogang. The first and second squadrons suffered more than half of their casualties, and the third squadron was almost crippled. Although the fourth and fifth squadrons had no casualties, today
You have also seen what happened, these are still a group of bandits whose gangsterism has not changed, and they cannot fight a tough battle at all."
"The Fourth and Fifth Squadrons may not have changed their gangster character, but it does not mean that they cannot fight tough battles, especially after enduring the battle of Shaqiaogang! What's more, I will also take on Nan Batian next.
After writing an article, the styles of these two squadrons will definitely change a lot, and more importantly..."
There was a pause at this point, and then Xu Rui said in a more serious tone: "More importantly, you didn't think that we would take the initiative at this time, and the little devil must not have thought that this would be a surprise in the art of war.
By taking advantage of the suddenness of the attack, our chances of success will be greatly increased!"
"Well, you are always right." Leng Tiefeng shook his head. He found that he was becoming less and less good at arguing with Xu Rui, because every time he argued, he would always lose in the end. Not only could he not be able to convince Xu Rui,
Rui is often persuaded by Xu Rui in turn, just like this time and countless times before.
"Then where do you plan to attack?" Leng Tiefeng asked again, "At Pucheng? Or directly attack Pukou?"
"Attack Bukou directly?!" Xu Rui laughed loudly, "Veteran, you really dare to think and speak."
Pukou is not only an important military town in southern Anhui, but also the terminus of Jinpu Road. It is also the base for the Central China Front Army to advance northward, supplying all military supplies to the 13th Division on the right, as well as transporting wounded from the front to the rear, and reservists from the rear to the front.
Pukou is in transit. How can the Japanese not leave heavy troops to guard such an important town?
Leng Tiefeng spread his hands and joked: "Isn't it true that if I'm close to red, I'll be red, and if I'm close to ink, I'll be black?"
"Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black?" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "Then you are complimenting me. I really never thought of attacking Bukou directly. You are more courageous than me..."
Having said this, Xu Rui suddenly stopped talking.
This feeling is like peeing halfway and then suddenly stopping.
Leng Tiefeng was so suffocated that he frowned and said, "Old Xu, why don't you continue?"
Xu Rui waved his hand and said thoughtfully: "Veteran, you really reminded me, you really reminded me, maybe we can really fight Bukou!"
"What?" Leng Tiefeng was shocked when he heard this and said in a voiceless 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 talk about attacking Bukou, I don't really mean attacking Bukou, but attacking the Japanese traffic lines!"
"A way to fight the little devil?" Leng Tiefeng was surprised when he heard this.
Xu Rui said: "Have you forgotten that the reason why we chose Damei Mountain as our base was because of its unique geographical conditions. From Damei Mountain to the east, we can cut off the Jinpu Railway, and to the south, we can threaten the Yangtze River. If we expand further, we can go to
To the north it can also threaten the Longhai Line, and to the west it can threaten the Ping-Han Railway."
Only then did Leng Tiefeng realize that Xu Rui was really not joking, and immediately asked: "But we have no information?"
Without intelligence, you don’t know when and where the train transporting military supplies will arrive, and there is no way to rob it. If you just simply destroy the railway, it doesn’t make much sense. After all, the independent brigade has limited manpower, and it can dig out in just one night.
How many kilometers of track were broken?
"Intelligence?" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "It will be available when it should be available, but for now, we should first deal with these bandits from the 4th and 5th Squadrons."
