Rise from the sword

Chapter 235 Why so fast!
"Captain."

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, a reconnaissance soldier came from the front. He was a soldier in plain clothes. He said to Li Yunlong, "Regimental Commander, we found devil cavalry ahead."

"About half of the team, about thirty devils."

"Ok?"

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, his tone full of vigilance.

According to the information, there are no ghost soldiers stationed in Fujianao, so how could cavalry suddenly appear?
Is it...
"Devil Cavalry!"

Zhao Gang was even more flustered: "Could it be that the devil's troops are already waiting in front of us?"

Political Commissar Zhao, who was highly nervous, was very anxious. Although the regiment also had a plan after being intercepted, the loss would be great. Not only would this trip be for nothing, but many soldiers would also be lost.

"Let's go take a look first."

Li Yunlong was very calm.

"Rest in place, pay attention to concealment."

"Company commander, assemble."

After ordering the troops to rest and hide, Li Yunlong called the first company in charge of security, and personally took the first company to the front to check the situation: "Go and see with me, logically, the devils shouldn't be here so soon."

From Wendian Village into the mountain road to Fujianao, the independent group took no more than three hours in total, and traveled more than [-] miles per hour on the mountain road. Logically, it is absolutely impossible for the devils to appear in front of them now.

Unless, Brother Chen gave wrong information.

However, judging from the business over the past year, this possibility is very low.

The anxious Zhao Gang also picked up a rifle and followed.Ding Wei, who had been silent all this time, also went with him.

After seeing the group of devil cavalry, everyone relaxed.

"There are no devil troops around. This should be the vanguard of a group of devils. The cavalry set off first, probably from Meng County. Only the devils from Meng County can arrive so quickly, and judging by the number, it is also the same as the information given by Brother Chen. "

"The little devil in Meng County has a cavalry squad."

Li Yunlong quickly deduced the origin of this group of devils.

Among the county towns where the devils are stationed, Meng County is the closest to Fujianao, so it is not difficult to guess.

"Then kill him."

Zhao Gang pulled the bolt of the gun, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Along the way, he was in a panic all the time. He was in a panic, afraid that something might go wrong, and now he wanted to kill a few devils to vent his anger.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong chuckled, and broke off the hammer of the shell gun in his hand: "Then kill these little devils."

"First company commander, you lead a platoon to go around from behind to block the retreat of this group of devils, and the other two platoons attack from the front, remember to move quickly, otherwise you may not even be able to drink soup with the marksmanship we gave to the political commissar. "

More than 30 devil cavalry, faced with a [-]-gun shelling gun and a company of nearly ten machine guns, in the mountainous area where the cavalry was inconvenient to move, they had no chance to resist.

"it is good."

The first company commander is an old man of the independent regiment. Having seen Zhao Gang's terrifying three shots, he naturally knows his political commissar's marksmanship very well, so he jokingly said, "Political commissar, leave some for us, don't take it all by yourself."

"Inform the second battalion commander behind of the situation here, and let the troops move on."

Li Yunlong said to a communication soldier in the guard platoon.

He wanted to notify the troops behind so as not to cause misunderstandings, and this little devil would not take much time. By the time the troops behind arrived, their battle would have ended long ago.

After the communications fighters left, Li Yunlong led Yilian to touch it quietly.

······
Taiyuan, the airport of the Flying Brigade of the First Army.

It was almost seven o'clock.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who had hardly slept all night, looked at the two reconnaissance planes that were starting their engines, frowning slightly.

Originally, the reconnaissance plane should have set off half an hour ago, and the reconnaissance had already started at this time.

But there were some accidents during the take-off. Two reconnaissance planes took off one after the other. However, one of the planes suddenly had an engine explosion, and the broken propeller fell off. After bouncing on the ground, it jumped more than 100 meters and hit the back Another reconnaissance aircraft.

An emergency investigation after the incident revealed that the cause of the accident was that the engine of the previous aircraft was damaged. It was repaired after the airport was shelled last time. After such a long period of use, the metal fatigued and the cylinder exploded.

Fortunately, the plane hadn't taken off at that time, it was just taxiing, the speed of the plane was very slow, the pilot was not injured, and the plane could be repaired. Of course, it would take several days to overhaul and replace the engine.

But the last clipping of the plane is very simple, just need to replace a little skin, and it will take less than half an hour.

It took half an hour to repair the plane, and then dragged out a spare plane from the hangar, so the two reconnaissance planes were half an hour later than scheduled.

However, after the two reconnaissance planes took off, before leaving Yoshio Shinozuka's sight, a staff officer ran over in a hurry. This staff officer was the second experienced staff officer at night.

Gritting his teeth, the staff officer said in a flustered tone:
"General, the cavalry unit of the Meng County Brigade sent a telegram that they encountered a large number of Eighth Route Army attacks. Moreover, the telegram also mentioned that they saw that the enemy arrived at Fujianao with a large number of mules and horses transporting machinery and equipment on the military column."

Because Li Yunlong sent the follow-up troops to set off before the attack, when the cavalry squad in Meng County sent the farewell telegram, they saw the mighty independent regiment and the new army.

Machinery and equipment transported by large mules were also seen.

"Nani?"

"impossible."

Before the reconnaissance plane disappeared from the field of vision, Shinozuka Yoshio turned his head abruptly and snatched the telegram from the staff officer's hand.

Subconsciously, he didn't believe what the staff officer said.

The mountain road that the Eighth Route Army took was extremely rugged. Even the well-bred big pack horses from Europe and the United States would not be able to transport the machinery and equipment so fast. This is absolutely impossible.

Even disassembled, some parts weigh more than 100 kilograms.

A short distance is fine, but a distance of tens of miles is impossible, absolutely impossible,
However, the contents of the telegram made him believe that the enemy arrived in Fujianao in less than three hours with the looted machines and medicines.

The marching speed is comparable to that of an unloaded and lightly armed force.

"idiot."

The irritable and angry Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly protruded his eyes and burst out, slapping the staff officer's face with a slap in his hand: "How could they be so fast? How could they be so fast?"

Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't accept it in his heart.

He had speculated the worst before.

The Eighth Route Army gave up and burned supplies, and then advanced lightly to avoid his encirclement. He could accept this. At least the enemy also returned empty-handed. Coupled with the consumption of weapons and ammunition along the way, it was not a loss.

But now, such a situation is completely unacceptable to him.

The imperial army lost blood, and the Eighth Route Army gained blood.

Although the two machine parts weighing nearly one ton certainly cannot be transported by mountain roads, the remaining lighter machinery and equipment for the production of weapons and equipment can greatly increase their strength.

And those medicines are also extremely precious to the Eighth Route Army, which is like sending charcoal in a timely manner.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio felt depressed and angry, and couldn't breathe freely.

After slapping the staff officer, Shinozuka Yoshio took a few deep breaths: "Let the reconnaissance plane come back. In addition, order Yangquan, Xiyang and other distant troops to station. There is no need to continue to Fujianao."

Although he didn't know how the other party maintained such a fast speed and was able to transport machinery and equipment, Shinozuka knew that there was no need to intercept them anymore. He was afraid that the encirclement would form and they would have already arrived home.

"Hi."

Enduring the severe pain on his face, the staff officer responded.

······
Headquarters, General Staff.

"what?"

"The devil is back?"

Officer Mo's eyes were wide open, his tone full of disbelief, as the group of devils who had gathered suddenly had their hair scratched off in a hurry.

"Correct."

Those who came to report were also at a loss: "The devils from Yangquan, Xiyang and other places have all returned to their respective camps. Only the devils from Meng County did not come back, but went to a place called Fujianao."

Although the intelligence of the headquarters is strong, it is still impossible to know the small-scale battle that took place in Fujianao.

"What are you doing, you little devil? They come and go like this, and they don't let people sleep at night, right?"

Hearing that the devil had withdrawn, Staff Officer Mo felt relieved, and immediately cursed.

He suspected that the devils were dispatched to make their staff stay up late so that they would die from overwork.

As for the brigade in Meng County, a mere brigade, if they dare to come in, they will learn from that old devil Yamazaki and eat them directly.

"Continue to investigate, it's best to find out what the devil is for?" After a few curses, Staff Officer Mo said.

　Thank you Zhiyuan Jianghu sighs the leader...
　　Thank you!

　　Try three more tomorrow.
