Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Fortunately, it is not too late to make up for it, and erase these traces before the enemy finds out, so there is no need to worry about future troubles.

Although the four trucks before were not pulling anything valuable, the fact that seven trucks were missing in a row would definitely attract the little devil's attention.

Tonight at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest, the little devil will send troops to search along the route of the truck.

Even if the battlefield has been cleaned up, it is inevitable that there will be some clues, such as blood or debris.

If the little devil found this place, he would definitely find these wheel marks.

In this era, asphalt roads were still a rarity, especially in Northwest Shanxi. Except for one or two asphalt roads in a few big cities such as Longcheng, most of the roads were built with rammed soil.

This kind of road, once a vehicle drives over it, will leave traces, let alone the wilderness that has not been trimmed.

If Qiao Lin drove the truck back to the cavalry company from here, it would be like drawing a road map for the little devil, and the enemy could find it just by following the wheel marks.

In this way, the cavalry company will be exposed to the little devil's sight, which in turn will threaten other units of the independent regiment, and even the entire [-]th brigade.

Moreover, it would directly threaten the safety of the local people. Once the little devils launched a siege, even if the cavalry company could break through, the people in the village would not be able to escape.

The reason why Qiao Lin asked the soldiers to change into casual clothes was also to hide their identities.

Therefore, both public and private, we must not let the little devils know that the cavalry company did what happened today, let alone let them find the village where the cavalry company is stationed.

Soon the warriors came back with bundles of branches they had cut from the nearby woods.

"First use branches to clean the road, and then pick some flexible branches and tie them on the horse's tail."

The battle was over, Qiao Lin temporarily took back the command from Sun Desheng, and gave orders to the soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Sun Desheng and the others knew what Qiao Lin was going to do.

To put it bluntly, these branches are used as brooms for sweeping the floor.

Before it was dark, Qiao Lin divided the soldiers into several teams and ran back along the tracks of the wheels.

Compared with a broom, the branches are harder. Although they can't be as clean as a broom, they can be used to smooth out the traces in these lands.

The branches tied to the horse's tail dragged loosely on the ground. Following Qiao Lin's order, several cavalry teams galloped wildly. The branches rubbed against the ground, and the sky was filled with dust for a while, like a storm in the desert.

After the trampling of the horseshoes and the cleaning of the branches, the clearly visible wheel marks in the wilderness disappeared immediately.

After running for a certain distance, Qiao Lin deliberately went back to check, but even he himself couldn't tell where the original traces were.

Those big pits where the little devil's corpse was buried were trampled back and forth several times by the soldiers on horseback, and a layer of loose soil was sprinkled on it. After a few hours, the water in the surface soil evaporated, and it looked There is no difference from the surroundings.

Qiao Lin was very satisfied with this effect. Unless the little devils had the ability to go back in time, they wouldn't be able to find out where the missing truck was driven away.

After riding back more than ten kilometers, we arrived at the place where Qiao Lin hid his car.

When he saw the seven trucks parked side by side, he felt dizzy for a while. He drove one back, and the round trip was more than 200 kilometers, half of which was by car and half by horseback.

Calculated, to drive all seven trucks back to the cavalry company, although there is no need to come back for the last trip, it will still take [-] kilometers, and it will take about [-] kilometers to ride horses.

He calculated that starting from now on and driving back, all seven cars would probably be returned before lunch tomorrow.

It's okay to stay up all night, but recalling the long-distance ride on the peninsula battlefield, Qiao Lin felt a dull pain in his buttocks.

When attacking the Yamazaki Brigade, his butt was injured. Although his recovery ability is amazing, it has not healed instantly. It is just a scab. It is estimated that his butt will bleed again tomorrow morning.

If I had known that there would be dry goods in the last wave, I should have let go of the four trucks in front.

Qiao Lin couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but he had to drive back the car he had snatched, clutching his ass.

"This time, you don't need to run as a team. Everyone just line up and follow me. By the way, just throw the seized weapons into the car. You don't need to hold them. It's so tiring. If you find that the branches on the horse's tail are worn out, remember to replace them. .”

Before getting into the car, Qiao Lin specially instructed the soldiers, and then got into the first car with a bitter face.

Turn on the ignition, start the car, put it in gear, step on the gas pedal, turn the steering wheel, and the truck full of cans is heading towards the way it came.

The country roads in the wilderness are not easy to walk, not even roads, but there are many people walking, and a road is slowly stepped on, which is not only narrow, but also rugged.

Qiao Lin held the steering wheel tightly and drove forward cautiously, for fear that the car would be overturned if he encountered bumps without paying attention.

A whole cavalry company followed behind the truck, and the sound of horseshoes even covered the roar of the truck's engine.

If you look from a distance, you can see a loess storm followed by a truck.

After bumping along the way for nearly two hours, the first truck finally managed to return to the village where the cavalry company was stationed.

However, because the width of the road in the village did not allow trucks to pass through, Qiao Lin could only park the car on the wheat field where the soldiers were training.

Pushing open the car door and jumping out of the car, Qiao Lin rubbed his already numb arms, and suddenly felt that an old saying was very reasonable.

In this world, there is no such thing as taking advantage of nothing.

At first, Qiao Lin thought that the company had robbed four carts of useless things, and finally snatched two carts of canned food as compensation for the cavalry company sitting there all day.

Unexpectedly, although the two truckloads of canned goods were not small, the robbery took tens of seconds, but he had to travel all night as the price.

"Company Commander Sun, give me a whole sip of water first."

Qiao Lin rubbed his arms and said to Sun Desheng.

Soon some soldiers came back with a bucket of water on horseback.

Ever since Qiao Lin mastered the skill of aiming without spilling water, the soldiers have regarded this as a standard for testing their stability when aiming.

Qiao Lin poured down half a bucket of water in one go, his belly was almost bursting, he ate his stomach with satisfaction and said: "This first car is back, so you don't have to go back with it, there are six more cars , Divide the soldiers into six teams, take turns to pick up the carts with me, people can rest, and horses can also rest."

If it wasn't for removing the traces of the wheels, Qiao Lin could actually do it himself.

But there is no way, he has to drive, he can't just get out of the car and get a broom to clean up the marks after driving for a while, he has to drive a car for a day.

This method is somewhat cumbersome, but it is a helpless move. Wang Dachui was very curious why he didn't clean up the traces when the last car was driven back, but had to sweep every car.

Chapter 540 Search for missing vehicles

As a result, before Qiao Lin could answer, Wang Dachui's question drew a burst of ridicule.

The reason is simple, because no one knows when the little devil will start looking for the missing vehicle, maybe it has already started at this moment.

The location where Qiao Lin hid the car was more than ten kilometers away from the place where the cavalry company carried out the robbery, and the traces along the way had also been cleaned.

But no one can guarantee that the little devil won't find it if he can't find the trace.

What if it is found?

It took more than an hour to drive the car back, and another hour to get back to pick up the car. This time it took three hours to go back and forth. If the little devil found the traces left behind, it would be enough to chase him.

Although this possibility is very low, only one in ten thousand, but this one in ten thousand proves that such a thing is possible.

Whenever possible, one should not be lazy in order to save trouble.

War is not a child's play, the slightest mistake may lead to a devastating disaster.

In the eyes of the little devils, they can wantonly massacre and do evil in the countries they invaded, because human life is nothing to them.

But for the Eighth Route Army defending the country, human life is even more important than winning a battle, and every human life is extremely precious.

Of course, the lives of the people in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army are the lives of the people, not their own. The moment they put on this uniform, they no longer take their lives seriously.

As long as you can protect the lives of the people, what's the trouble?

As long as the common people can avoid being harmed by the little devils, what's the point of running a few more times?

Not to mention riding a horse and dragging branches to clean up the traces on the ground, even if the soldiers lie on the ground and wipe the traces inch by inch with their palms, they will not have any complaints.

"Instructor Qiao, thank you for your hard work!"

Sun Desheng said very ashamedly.

As long as there is a second cavalry company who can drive, he can't let Qiaolin run back and forth alone.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. There is nothing hard about the responsibility. Company Commander Sun, please prepare some bandages and water."

Qiao Lin shook his head with a smile, and said something inexplicable.

Soon, Sun Desheng divided the entire company into six teams, one of which followed Qiao Lin back to the location where the car was stored, and the rest of the soldiers began to move the supplies on the car back to the company headquarters.

Due to time constraints, Qiao Lin and the soldiers rushed to the place where the cart was hidden in less than an hour and a half. After letting the horse rest for a while, they tied branches to the horse's tail and followed Qiao Lin's cart. Return to the cavalry company.

Another loess sky all the way.

From dark to dawn, Qiao Lin kept going back and forth on this road all night.

"There is only the last one left, come on!"

At noon, Qiao Lin rode a horse and led a team of cavalry to the car storage point, cheering himself up all the way.

What he felt at the moment was dizziness, nausea, and the joints all over his body were about to loosen, especially his buttocks and thighs. He was constantly exchanging between pain and numbness.

In the entire cavalry company, he was the most tired person. The other soldiers could rest in shifts as long as they came out with him, but he couldn't stop.

The honest but extremely loyal Wang Dachui couldn't bear Qiao Lin's hard work, and asked him to teach him how to drive, and he could rest after learning it.

Qiao Lin was very touched by Wang Dahammer's kindness, but he had no hope of the feasibility of this suggestion, after all, driving is not about opening the door.

"Let's slow down this time and try not to make any noise. If the little devils are nearby, it will be troublesome to disturb them."

After Qiao Lin jumped off the horse, he specially told the soldiers, and at the same time raised his hand to wipe away the blood stains on the saddle.

This time, Qiao Lin drove back at twice the speed than before, and the horse behind the car basically trotted all the way, instead of throwing its hooves and galloping like before.

Because of the slower speed, the sound of the truck's engine is not loud, and the dust raised by the branches dragging on the ground is not so exaggerated.

Facts proved that Qiao Lin's caution was the right choice. Just as they left, a squadron of little devils was searching two kilometers away.

The seven trucks that were robbed by the cavalry company all set off from Changshan to transport supplies to the Xing County Fujiwara Brigade.

Because the most urgent task of the Fujiwara brigade is to launch a large-scale mopping up operation, they must prepare sufficient supplies.

According to the scheduled time, the first truck carrying military uniforms should arrive in Xing County at noon, and the last two trucks carrying canned food should also arrive before midnight.

But until after midnight, the logistics department of the Fujiwara brigade responsible for receiving supplies did not even wait for a car.

If only one or two cars were missing, it could be understood that the truck broke down on the way and broke down, but seven cars didn't come, even a fool can guess that there must be an accident.

If there is an accident with a transport vehicle, it must be on the road.

So after the Fujiwara brigade got in touch with Changshan's material distribution department, the two parties dispatched troops overnight to search along the road from Changshan to Xing County.

Subsequently, the Little Devil's intelligence department got in touch with the newly established supply station, and after verification, it was determined that all seven trucks had refueled there.

From then on, the little devil began to change the search distance, narrowing the scope to the road from the supply station to Xingxian County, and the search work became the task of the Fujiwara brigade.

Although the range has been reduced to a few hundred kilometers, with the strength of the Fujiwara Brigade, it is undoubtedly a dream to conduct a carpet search.
