Chapter eight hundred and thirtieth theater at night
There were more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, and as soon as they reached the fork in the road, the cavalrymen who were scouting in front came back.
"Sir, there are indeed a lot of ruts on this road. It's just that the ruts more than 100 meters near the fork in the road were erased by the Eighth Route Army. They were too cunning and unknowingly allowed us to walk several kilometers longer, delaying us for nearly an hour.
Time!" the captain of the cavalry brigade ordered with a frown.
"Don't worry!" Lieutenant Colonel comforted him.
There was no anger on his face because he had been fooled, he was still as calm as ever.
"Don't forget, the Eighth Route Army brought dozens of carts full of weapons and ammunition. No matter how they marched, they could not match our speed. Their conspiracy indeed delayed us for nearly an hour, but as long as we seize the time
, you can get back the delayed journey in three hours at most and catch up with them!"
The captain of the cavalry brigade hesitated and reminded: "Sir, do you want me to lead the cavalry brigade and set off first?"
"The cavalry is fast and can catch up with them in two hours at most."
The lieutenant colonel was very moved, but he still refused after hesitating for a few seconds.
"No, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. You only have two squadrons of cavalry in your hands. If you go deep alone, the Eighth Route Army will easily seize the opportunity and kill you!"
"You know, when the Eighth Route Army attacked our outpost, they not only used heavy machine guns, but also mortars. And among the weapons and ammunition they transported, there were also a lot of light and heavy machine guns and mortars. As long as the Eighth Route Army is in an encounter with you,
If more than thirty light and heavy machine guns are concentrated against you, your two cavalry squadrons will be severely damaged or even completely annihilated!"
"There will definitely be no accidents in destroying these Eighth Route Army troops, so I won't let you take risks just for a little time!"
"The cavalry will conduct reconnaissance in front to ensure that we will not be fooled by the Eighth Route Army again..."
At five o'clock in the morning, Hong Ruijun decisively ordered the troops to abandon the cart.
Of course, these large vehicles were not placed directly on the road, but were pushed to a temporarily discovered cliff by Hong Ruijun.
When the time comes, the ruts suddenly disappear and the cart cannot be found, the little devil chasing behind will definitely be in trouble.
At the Japanese frontline headquarters, the arrival of a telegram made the lieutenant general commander's good mood disappear all of a sudden.
He rushed to the war room without even eating breakfast, stared at the staff officers and cursed: "Bageya Road, are you all stupid pigs? There are also frontline troops, so many people, even a group of people towing a cart.
Even the Eighth Route Army can be lost!"
The deputy chief of staff hesitated and replied: "Commander, the frontline commander reported that they have been pursuing the ruts left by the Eighth Route Army. However, when the troops marched here, the ruts suddenly disappeared..."
"This is the only road nearby that can carry large vehicles. The pursuit force sent a cavalry unit to scout forward for nearly five kilometers, but no ruts were found. There were not even traces of troops marching through the road. Hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers and dozens of
The big car seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!”
"It's impossible to disappear into thin air!" the commander replied with certainty.
Then he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Search the surrounding ten kilometers immediately. They must be hiding somewhere nearby that we don't know!"
"Also, haven't you noticed? There are mountains everywhere around here. The Eighth Route Army is so cunning that it can disappear without a trace just by looking for a ravine?"
The chief of staff frowned and reminded: "What about the large vehicles? There is only one road here for large vehicles. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army also hid the large vehicles in the mountains!"
"There are also weapons and ammunition transported on dozens of large trucks. Did they move all those weapons and ammunition into the mountains?"
The commander affirmed: "It's not impossible!"
"These Eighth Route Army are too cunning. They don't know that we will send aviation troops to search and bomb them after dawn. Hiding before dawn, and hiding in the mountains, is the best way to avoid our bombing!"
For six or seven hours a night, the guard company towed the large truck to a mountainous area more than 20 kilometers away from Wang Ping's real hiding place.
By the time Hong Ruijun and his guard company dispersed back to the detachment point, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Without taking a rest, Hong Ruijun went to Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, all the Japs' attention has been attracted by those large vehicles. There have been at least two thousand days of puppet troops searching in that area. In order to avoid them, we went around
We traveled many ways. Also, the enemy planes also killed them, circling around the area and almost turning the money-taking area upside down!"
After saying that, Wang Ping did not forget to report some of the tricks he had played on the little devil.
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, what should we do next?"
"It can indeed attract the attention of the little devils there for a while, but it certainly won't last too long. And this is a Japanese-occupied area after all, so staying here is definitely not a long-term solution. I suggest that for safety's sake, we leave separately!"
"Captain, you take two platoons from the guard, take the gold and medicine we got from the war zone, and take the small road back to the base. I will command the others, and commander, you will remotely control the base from other road ghost bases!"
As the commander of the guard company, Hong Ruijun's idea is very simple. No matter what, he must first ensure the safety of the commander.
Wang Ping saw through Hong Ruijun's thoughts at a glance and refused directly: "No!"
"It's hard to get these weapons and ammunition after taking such a big risk. You must bring them back safely!"
"I brought you all out of the base. No matter what, I will bring you back safely!"
"Also, we are the Eighth Route Army, not other troops. Have you ever seen the commander of the Eighth Route Army abandon his troops and run for his own life? The more danger there is, the more I, as the regimental commander, have to stay with everyone!"
Wang Ping answered firmly and confidently.
It was precisely because of this confidence that Hong Ruijun immediately realized that the group leader must have had a way to break the situation.
"Captain, do you already have a solution?"
"Not bad!" Wang Ping replied with certainty.
"Everything has been arranged. You are just waiting to watch the show tonight!"
Then the topic changed and he continued: "However, we can't be idle. All the equipment we brought back will be transformed into mules and horses!"
"The specific urgency of transportation is to transport medicine and gold first, then ammunition, and then heavy weapons. As for rifles, if they can't be transported, the boxes will be dismantled and everyone will carry one or two rifles. Next, we will not take the road.
, all along small roads, bypassing the blockades and checkpoints placed by the Japanese on the highway!"
The battalion commander of the new regiment and battalion, Xiong Changhe, was very excited.
Some time ago, the troops attacked the Tongpu Railway, and almost none of the battalion had anything to do. Although Xiong Changhe didn't say anything, he must be angry in his heart.
Just now, the regiment leader came for a mission, and it was a critical mission to attack the Japanese and puppet army strongholds.
Xiong Changhe, whose hands have been itchy for a long time, can't wait to rush to the battlefield now and show off the majesty of a battalion.
But he held back. The regimental commander made it very clear in his order that before the attack began, the little Japanese must not be aware of anything.
