Who knows what will happen ahead and what we will encounter, and I don’t have accurate information at the moment.
If the special team has no intelligence, you are blind. This time it was a temporary decision. After this is completed, the army commander must ask the military commander to assist with intelligence.
Everything was explored in the dark. No one knew where the Japanese army was, where the supply points were, where the transport team was, or even where the vanguard was.
This can only be done by moving forward little by little to touch and search.
Hu Yong hung his submachine gun under his neck, and Li Qi carried a grenade on his back. As soon as the two of them got on the road, they had to dig into the thatched areas on the side.
When Zhou Weiguo saw Hu Yong going to those places, he grabbed his backpack and said, "Where are you going? If you can't go on a good road, you have to crawl into a grass cage. Are you a savage?"
Hu Yong pointed at the gray road; "Commander, aren't I worried about running into the Japanese reconnaissance knife?"
No matter how sharp the knife is, you didn’t encounter any fleeing people along the way. This means that the front is still safe. If you encounter refugees in the front, then you should pay attention to the fact that there may be Japanese troops coming behind you.
Tian Jing also understood this path and laughed and pointed at Hu Yong, who was embarrassed; "Hu Yong, I never thought that you are such a tall man. You are just a tall man but not a big head. Look around you. There is a person who is fleeing."
There are no common people, so how can there be Japanese troops behind us?"
Snapped……
Hu Yong slightly slapped his big mouth; "What the hell, he's confused."
Seeing Hu Yong's appearance, several people laughed and walked forward.
Chen Qi naturally had his reasons for allowing Commander Wang to temporarily enter here. He walked forward for a certain distance and said, "Commander, we have blown up the bridge, how can the people get across?"
The common people have many ways to pass by, and even if they can't, they will make a detour. But the Japanese army can't. If the Japanese army makes a detour, they have to delay time. As for the people who may cut down bamboo forests or something, it doesn't matter. They have already put up signs.
Someone can recognize it.
"Don't worry about them. They have a way. Our task is to make the Japanese troops coming from Yangzhou unhappy. To put it bluntly, if we can't kill them, I will make life worse than death."
If he could pick up a brigade headquarters or a higher headquarters by the way, then his trip would not be in vain.
The four of them added up to a lot of things. The three men took turns all the way and helped Tian Jing reduce the weight of the submachine gun by more than ten kilograms. Zhou Weiguo even carried Tian Jing's water bottle on his back.
This heavy thing will become heavier as you walk. Even if you lighten it a little bit, you can feel a lot lighter.
When we got to around two o'clock in the afternoon, we just turned a curved road and people appeared in front of us. These people were a little confused, with children and girls in tow, and old women with bundles tied around their waists. There were also some relatively unknown people.
Educated people and some guys pushing wheelbarrows with things on top came over.
"Take all the pots away?" Hu Yong saw a dark boy in his thirties driving a wheelbarrow from a distance. There were two women sitting on the left and right, one old and one young. The old one should be his mother, the younger one.
The one who was there must be his wife. Between the two of them, there was a wooden box with peeling paint, and a dark pot on top of the box.
A big pot.
"This is an escape. Maybe you won't go back after leaving. That's the guy they eat. If you don't take it away, why are you leaving it there?" Zhou Weiguo watched those people getting closer and closer. He waved to the three people and asked them to retreat.
A small mound squatted among the barren weeds.
"Commander, why don't we ask where the Japanese troops have arrived?" Hu Yong didn't understand why he was hiding.
Zhou Weiguo casually pulled out a piece of withered thatch, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, spit it out, and then looked sideways at Hu Yong, who looked confused, and said, "Are you so sure that there are no Japanese soldiers mixed in there?"
The Japanese army was good at taking advantage of the fleeing people, blending in, and then entering the rear to carry out sabotage. Didn't they often do this during the two battles of Songhu and Jinling?
Both sides have the same face, put on clothes, and don't speak, how can you know who he is.
We can't let everyone pull down their pants and inspect them one by one.
It's hard to count how many refugees the rear takes in every day. Once they come in, even setting a fire can distract you.
Hu Yong understood. Zhou Weiguo could also hear the noisy sounds and signaled to stop talking.
People began to leave from the road ahead, and the voices were very mixed. Some were crying, some were sighing in frustration, some were wailing and feeling sorry for their houses and land, and there were also innocent children who didn't know what it meant, but still laughed.
Hehehe fled around the adults.
I don't know which child was too naughty and made the adults angry. A hoarse man's voice said: "Why are you two bastards running around? There are so many people. If you two are lost, where can I find you?"
ah."
Another person, who should be his wife, felt a little distressed; "You two are only five or six years old, why are you scolding them?'
"Woman, what do you know? I heard that the little devils have already crossed Zhaojiagou." The man's voice became louder and then he began to scold her two daughters: "You damn little bastards are running around.
Let the little devil catch you and roast you and eat you."
The chirping sound faded away. When the last refugee passed by, Zhou Weiguo signaled Hu Yong to take out the map.
This is the topography and place name map of the area from Yangzhou where he was coming to the military headquarters.
I don’t know if it’s accurate or not, but the general direction should not be wrong. After all, this is also a military map.
"You also heard what the family said just now. The Japanese army has passed Zhaojiagou. This should be the news they got within a few hours or even earlier. Therefore, we must be careful next and not go to the big area.
Gone on the road."
The frontline troops of the Japanese army have motorcycles. Maybe they are not far away now. Be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
Zhou Weiguo struck Zhaojiagou and moved westward.
Tian Jing raised her eyes and glanced at the crowd that had already left, and then looked at the earthy gray ground. The weeds were getting drier and drier, and there were also many buds growing on the ground. After all, it was spring.
, the weather is no longer as cold as before.
"Then next, we have to leave the road and go to the woods or places with lots of weeds." Tian Jing straightened her hair exposed in the military cap and looked at Zhou Weiguo and asked.
Zhou Weiguo nodded slightly and signaled Hu Yong to put the map away and hummed, "That's almost the case, but it's not entirely correct."
Yes or no, not only Hu Yong, but also Tian Jing asked in confusion with such double standards: "We really don't understand what you said."
