Chapter 291 Dangerous situation
The devils mopping up troops came out of the mountain, took advantage of the coolness of the night, and hurried on the way back. There were too many troops, and there was not enough food for the gun tower at the foot of the mountain.

The target of the whole team, the supply point, the vanguard was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and the whole army was wiped out. After dark, the messenger of the vanguard did not report, the Major was very angry.

In his opinion, Ken is the idiots in the vanguard who met Tubalu and went to find some fun work privately, or went to the supply point to enjoy it first, forgetting that he was the boss, and he must give him a few good slaps later.

The team headed east.

For the Ninth Company, the devils in the brigade could not be provoked. They knew in the mountains that there were heavy devils in the north, and the terrain was also complicated. The deployment of the devils' forces was not clear at all.

There are two roads in front of us, the first is from the north to the west of the devils. If the devils have search troops on both wings, once they encounter it, it will be a disaster.

The other way is to go south and get into a safe zone before the devils' troops, and can't be discovered by the devils.

The devil's first squadron has suffered such a big loss, and the devils fleeing east will definitely call for reinforcements. At the same time, since the devils have a large army, they must have radios. With his dog temper, he will definitely retaliate with a large-scale sweep to the north.

A team of forty people, carrying a stretcher, trotted all the way. Chen Chong, who was riding a horse, took the big dog and his party to reconnaissance to the south first, and rode back and forth to report the devil's location to the brigade.

During the conversation, I learned that the platoon leader Wang knew Captain Liu of the district team, and then sent someone to Xiaowang Village to report the current situation.

After the team passed several hillsides, Chen Chong came back from the front with a torch, and jumped off his horse: "Report, the devil's vanguard has arrived at the devil's camp where we lured the enemy yesterday afternoon. Dong, no matter how fast we are, we can't pass in front of the devil's vanguard."

The two columns stopped suddenly, with thirty or forty pairs of stunned eyes, they marched for more than an hour, but now they got this result.

"If we also head east now, can we cross before the devils?"

Hu Yi pulled out the map, Luo Fu played the flashlight, and several heads gathered together.

Chen Chong pointed to the map: "Look, the leading troops of the devils have already arrived here. If you want to pass this road in front of them, there is no time at all. Even if you march faster than the devils, it is impossible to pass in front of the devils."

"Since it is unrealistic to maneuver to the southern plains in front of the devils, there are only two options now, one is to go north, the other is to go west, and go around behind the devils' troops before the devils receive the news." Platoon Leader Wang suggested.

"Your grandma, you don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense, maybe you will meet the puppet army when you go north, and the puppet army said that they have sent people to rescue the soldiers."

Hu Yi looked at the map and thought nervously.

Finally raised his head and asked Chen Chong: "How far is the distance between the devil's vanguard and the brigade?"

"Ah? I didn't pay attention to this. I guess it's four or five miles away."

"The devil walks four miles. The speed is not fast. It will take at least 10 minutes. Let's pass through the gap between the leading troops of the devils and the troops behind?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, watching Hu Yi take out his pocket watch and under the light of the flashlight, the shiny silver case gleamed coldly.

Two in the morning.

Forty or so people had to pass through the gap between the devil's troops, and it was very likely that they would encounter messengers from the devil's army, which was too risky.

"In my opinion, we can either go directly north, or we can go the way I came, bypass the devils' gathering place in the east, and then cross the blockade and go east into the plain."

"This method is not safe. Since the devils ran eastward, if we hadn't gone south at the beginning, we still have a chance. Now we may run into the devil reinforcements coming from the east at any time."

"The plain is so big, if we encounter devils, why don't we just hide?"

"We are marching on the plains, and we all know that we will set up sentries and sharp soldiers along the way. Do you think the devils are so stupid?"

"It's true." Xu Qiang rubbed his head and smiled.

In some respects, the Eighth Route Army is also well-trained, for example, the speed of escaping is faster than that of devils.

Now, Hu Yi is decisive in handling the situation on the battlefield.

The thing to do well is for the whole team to pass through the gaps of the devils silently. If they really want to be discovered by the devils, at worst they have to run north.

Everyone spread their legs and ran south. While running, they didn't forget to pull out a towel that smelled bad, and wrapped the mouth of the unconscious wounded man.

"Company commander, what should we do with this horse?" Chen Chong was reluctant, but he didn't take the risk with the horse.

Hu Yi was also in a dilemma. He was not familiar with war horses. This horse was given to the Independence Regiment by the military sub-division. Lu Tuan basically didn't need to leave it to the Ninth Company when he went into the mountains, which made Gao Yidao envious for a long time.

In fact, there are horses in the wine station itself, and there are quite a few of them. The leaders of the military division don't know it.

Really reluctant.

"Platoon Leader Wang, does anyone in your platoon know how to ride a horse?"

"I have never ridden a war horse, but I have ridden a lot of mules and donkeys!" A soldier hurried forward.

"You go west on horseback. If you're fast, find a way to get around behind the devil. If you're slow, go north. If it doesn't work, go to Xiaowang Village to find Captain Liu of the district team, understand?"

Hu Yi came quickly from Chen Chong, and finally realized that in the plains, two legs can't run with four legs.

A road runs from west to east across open fields.

The marching team with torches flowed slowly, and no one noticed that a team from Maoyao in the north was advancing towards them.

The sound of people's footsteps coming from the north was covered by the panting of horseshoes.

In a blink of an eye, the north team stopped, one mile away from the main road, more than 40 people were lying on their stomachs or on stretchers.

Except for those who were still in a coma, almost everyone was nervously watching the team heading east.

Seeing that the last person of the devil had passed by, farther behind, the torches lit by the devil brigade illuminated the night sky and came slowly.

A beam of light suddenly appeared in the middle, and the sound of the devil's motorcycle chug came from afar.

It should be the devil's messenger, coming quickly to the east.

Everyone felt their hearts beating in their throats. If this guy was running back and forth, he wouldn't even think about passing through the gap between the devils!

The motorcycle drove directly to the front of the devil's vanguard unit and stopped. Then, the devil's army stopped. After a short time, the devil began to divide.

With torches on, a dozen columns began to head north, and continued to spread out.

Hu Yi didn't speak, and looked at the devil who was coming across the open space, and the distance between the two sides was now the same.

On the plain, there was no shelter or hindrance, and the team from the west also started to move north.

Don't think about it, the devil has already got the news. Maybe the devil left someone in the village and became suspicious that there was no news from the attacking team, or he received a telegram from the devil from other places.

No matter what the situation is, Jiulian is now caught among the devils.

Hu Yi took a closer look at where he was in an open area. He was almost in the middle of the two groups of devils, about two miles away from the devils who followed from the west. The gap in the middle isn't that big at all, and it's turning north now too.

If you go directly south now, the situation is very bad, and the possibility of being discovered is too great.

Either run directly to the north, and you will definitely be discovered by the devils. Once you are bitten, the entire army is very likely to be wiped out.

No matter which direction you go, it seems to be in a dead end.
