In the silent night sky, there was suddenly a strange whistling sound, as if some object was flying rapidly through the sky!
Bao Changyi was sent to the Independent Regiment from the regular army. He had experienced countless battles, large and small, and was very familiar with this sound. It was the sound of the 70mm 92 infantry gun coming out!
The 92 Infantry Artillery was originally produced in Japan. Its advantages are high shooting accuracy and very light weight. Its requirements on road conditions are almost minimized.
Under normal circumstances, three or five soldiers can drag the artillery cart back and forth freely, making it the most suitable light artillery for mountain warfare.
The Japanese manufactured a large number of such weapons, and after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, most of them were equipped with Japanese troops. The 151st Brigade Mountain Artillery Battalion also had more than twenty such guns.
While others were still stunned, Bao Changyi was the first to react and shouted: "It's a shelling! Everyone get down!"
Luotuo's reaction was not slow, and he immediately knocked down Cao Yunfei and Luo Yongqing. The few of them were lying on the cold snow, and heard an earth-shattering loud noise not far behind them, "Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, dense artillery shells hit like raindrops!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Bao Changyi got up and shouted: "Run!"
Cao Yunfei turned around and took a look. The fire was rising in the direction of the guerrilla barracks. More than a dozen artillery shells hit the barracks accurately. The place was now a sea of fire!
Thinking about it now makes me feel scared. If it had been ten minutes later, this round of shelling would have caused at least more than half of the guerrilla casualties!
"Camel, protect the political commissar!" Cao Yunfei shouted.
Without saying a word, the camel carried Bao Changyi on his back and ran up the back hill with rapid strides.
Luo Yongqing walked a few steps and saw Cao Yunfei standing still, and said anxiously: "Captain Cao, let's go!"
Cao Yunfei's face was livid, he clenched his fists and stared at the blazing barracks, saying in a harsh voice: "There are still brothers who haven't come out!"
Luo Yongqing: "I can't worry about that anymore. The enemy's infantry will come up soon. Let's go!"
Cao Yunfei knew that it would be useless to stay here. The team members who did not come out would either die from the bombing, and those who survived would naturally follow the main force.
An hour later.
The back mountain of Yushuling.
The guerrilla members were scattered on the ground. After an hour of rapid march, everyone was very tired and had to take a breath before walking.
Sporadic gunfire rang out from the direction of Longquangou, but after more than ten minutes, there was no sound again.
Bao Changyi endured the pain in his leg and came to Cao Yunfei with the help of a camel. He said: "Captain Cao, the enemy will follow the footprints and catch up soon. We must leave here immediately!"
Cao Yunfei nodded and was about to give the order to continue retreating down the mountain when a figure stumbled across from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Captain, Captain!"
The camel said: "It's a monkey!"
A few minutes later, the monkey ran closer and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
Cao Yunfei: "Monkey, why are you alone and Lao Eggplant and the others?"
The monkey spoke with a cry in his voice and said: "The boss, they are dead, they were all killed by cannonballs!"
When they were retreating, artillery shells exploded one after another. Old Eggplant and several team members were killed on the spot. The monkey had quick legs and feet and finally escaped!
The enemy opened up such a large formation, and the guerrillas only lost a few members. It was a blessing among misfortunes!
"Let's go, let's let the little turtles eat their shit in the back!" Cao Yunfei felt sad, but pretended to be relaxed on the surface.
Several team members took turns carrying Bao Changyi, and the injury on his leg became more and more serious. Judging from past experience, it may be infected and suppurating.
Along the way, there was silence for a long time. Luo Yongqing suddenly wanted to do something important. He turned around and said to the monkey: "Is Sixi dead too?"
Hou Hou and Si Xi are of the same age and come from the same village. The two have a very good relationship. When Cao Yunfei sends out tasks, he will try his best to group them together.
Hearing Luo Yongqing's question, the monkey couldn't help but feel sad, and said in tears: "Sixi didn't have to die. He said that the fellow hadn't come out yet, so he went back and called him, and he didn't run a few steps..."
Luo Yongqing said anxiously: "Where is my gun?"
The monkey choked and said: "What gun?"
Cao Yunfei said coldly from the side: "Comrade Luo, at this time, you still care about a gun? People are important, but guns are important!"
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Yongqing was delivering the letter, Cao Yunfei would have even cursed him.
Luo Yongqing: "That gun is not mine..."
Cao Yunfei: "Isn't it just a luzi? When we get down the mountain, I will give you one as compensation. I guarantee it will be newer than yours!"
Luo Yongqing hesitated to speak. Although Cao Yunfei was his comrade, special agents had iron-clad discipline and he had no right to reveal Fan Bin's true identity.
Bao Changyi heard the hidden secret here and said: "Comrade Luo, isn't that gun very important?"
Luo Yongqing nodded and said: "It's very important, but I'm sorry, I can't say anything!"
Bao Changyi thought for a while and said, "Don't be too anxious. The shells are very powerful. The gun may have exploded beyond recognition."
Luo Yongqing thought about it and had no other choice, and sighed: "I hope so!"
…………
Early the next morning.
Office of the deputy station chief of Juntong Yanjin Station.
"Ring, ring, ring!" The phone on the table rang.
"Hello, this is Wu Jingrong." Wu Jingrong couldn't wait to pick up the phone, fully expecting to hear an exciting result.
Zhang Ze on the other end of the phone said: "Deputy Station Commander Wu, the encirclement and suppression of the Yushuling guerrillas has ended."
"How is it going?"
"Unfortunately, this operation did not achieve the expected results..."
After listening to Zhang Ze's account of what happened, Wu Jingrong pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Deputy Director Zhang, I think someone must have leaked the news!"
"Yes, I think so too. The enemy fled in a hurry and even left a box of ammunition behind."
"Didn't anyone get caught alive?"
"I was about to tell you about this when I caught a man named Liu Ergui. He said he was an informant for the military commander."
"Liu Ergui is still alive? Where are the others?"
"Here I am."
"Deputy Director Zhang, this person is very important to us. Please send someone to bring him here."
"Okay. Oh, by the way, there is something very strange. A Browning pistol was found on the corpse of an enemy bandit!"
Wu Jingrong was refreshed and said: "This man should be the leader of the guerrillas, otherwise he wouldn't be wearing this type of pistol!"
Zhang Ze: "We asked Zhang Ergui to identify him, and he said that man was just a gangster. Well, I'll send someone to send Zhang Ergui and the gun there. Your military commander is an expert in investigating cases, and maybe we can get the gun from him."
