"Team leader, I think there seems to be a problem with the other party, and why did you just say that we have one division?"
When reporter Fang turned the car around and drove back, he asked in confusion because he also felt that the road collapse on a sunny day was abnormal.
And when Dragon Boat Festival said there was a division behind, it was even more abnormal.
However, at this time, Duanwu took out the battle map and said, "What can you see from this map?"
Reporter Fang came closer, took a look at the map, and said thoughtfully: "We are walking from south to north. Although we are driving, we may not be as fast as the Japanese army, is that right?"
Duanwu said: "Not only that, we were still blocking the Japanese army at Sanchakou last night, and also went to the headquarters of the 48th Army. So the Japanese army has probably penetrated into Jiangyin."
"Wouldn't that mean we can't go to Jiangyin?"
Reporter Fang was surprised, but at this moment Duanwu smiled and said: "I don't think the Japs have that many troops to block the road to Jiangyin, otherwise there would be more than a few Japanese soldiers pretending to be the Northwest Army."
Reporter Fang asked back: "Then why don't we just kill him?"
Duanwu sneered and said: "Knowing ourselves and our enemies will lead to a hundred battles. Taking action rashly without knowing the strength of the opponent's troops can only be detrimental to our side. In addition, we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."
After turning around the foot of the mountain, stop the car and let Lao Shou lead the special agent company to have a look up and find out the opponent's identity and number of people, and then we can decide whether to fight this battle or not."
"yes!"
Reporter Fang responded and stopped after turning around the foot of the mountain. As soon as the first car stopped, all the vehicles also stopped. Officers from each battalion and company ran over one after another. Because it was obvious that something important must have happened if the regiment suddenly stopped.
.
After getting off the train at the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhu Shengzhong hurriedly helped him and said with concern: "Tuanzi, are you okay? Do you want Kobanjiro to come over and take a look at you? (Kobanjiro is the Japanese military doctor captured at Sanchakou)"
"Need not!"
Duanwu waved his hand, and then ordered: "Lao Snoring, lead the spy company to conduct an investigation on the checkpoint just now and the surrounding area, which can be expanded to a maximum of two kilometers. The purpose of the investigation is twofold, one is the true identity of the other party, and the other is the other party's identity.
The specific number of people will be reported to me immediately after the investigation is completed."
"yes!"
Lao Snoring took the order and left with the agent company.
At this time, Duanwu ordered again: "The second battalion is responsible for guarding, and the first battalion finds a place to camouflage the convoy."
"Tuanzuo, is this going to be a big battle?"
Zhu Shengzhong asked, and Duanwu raised his walking stick.
But when Zhu Shengzhong saw something was wrong, he quickly said: "Yes, I promise to complete the task."
Zhu Shengzhong ran away, and Sun Shiyu didn't dare to ask any more questions. Because this is the rule of the independent regiment. There is no need to explain so much when the regiment leader orders, just execute it.
Zhu Shengzhong led people to set up defenses, Sun Shiyu disguised himself, and Lao Shou led more than fifty people from the special agent company to investigate.
A recruit asked in confusion: "Since it is a reconnaissance, why did the regiment send so many people out?"
Lao Snoring said with a smile: "The command of the regiment lies in understanding. If it was just reconnaissance, just send a reconnaissance squad. But the regiment sent out the entire spy company.
The first reason for this is that the regiment is afraid that if there are too many enemies, we will suffer a loss once discovered. The second reason is that we are afraid that the area to be investigated is too large and we will not have enough manpower. The regiment's order is a two-kilometer range centered on the outpost.
Within. How can we conduct such a large area of investigation without anyone?
Thirdly, it is not a waste of time for the group to send so many of us to conduct reconnaissance. Once we discover that the opponent is an enemy and there are not many of them, we will annihilate them on the spot.
Fourth, the regiment did not ask the 1st and 2nd Battalions to do this, but asked our special agent company to do this, in order to avoid using guns as much as possible. Because the enemy's situation is unknown now, the sound of gunshots is very likely to expose us
position, or alert the enemy."
The recruit said in admiration: "Company Commander, you are so awesome. You can analyze so many things from just one order from the regimental commander."
Lao Shou said proudly: "That's natural, otherwise how could I be the company commander?"
"I admire you!"
The new recruits gave a thumbs up, but Lao Snoring ignored them because for the next kilometer, most of them used hand gestures to communicate with the most common bird calls in the forest.
Gestures are not the specialty of special forces. All trained soldiers know several common gestures. This is because it is impossible to shout and convey information to each other when approaching the enemy.
It's just that ordinary soldiers rarely use this kind of gesture. After all, they are not special forces. They are only responsible for rushing and killing on the battlefield. That is to fight the little devil head-on with real swords and guns, so what's the use of gestures?
.
So hand gestures are not the specialty of special forces, they just use them a lot.
Veterans such as Lao Shou and Youzi have another way of conveying information, using hand gestures and the sounds of various birds.
You can make gestures at close range, and you can use the calls of these birds to communicate at a distance.
They used this contact method to quickly search the vicinity of the outpost.
However, no enemy troops were found near the outpost, but several sets of Japanese military uniforms were found in the grass. The uniforms were folded and hidden in the grass. Apparently someone changed clothes here and hid the clothes again.
Lao Shou seemed to understand something when he saw the clothes, and ordered: "You guys will take care of this place, and I will take people to the front to take a look."
"yes!"
The ones who survived the battle at Sanchakou in the secret service company were all the elites among the elites. They were the best in terms of shooting skills, fighting skills, grenades, use of artillery, reconnaissance, etc. So just a few of them were the best.
A Japanese who disguises himself as the Northwest Army is just a piece of cake in their eyes.
However, there were no remaining Japanese troops nearby, which was abnormal. Lao Shou thought that they must have missed something, so he led his people to continue searching northwest.
Sure enough, when they climbed to the mountain two kilometers away from the post, they saw the Japanese army's camp. There was a large group of Japanese soldiers camping quietly in the jungle. They should be the Japs' forward troops.
"Go back and report to the group. I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Jiangyin."
Lao Snoring ordered, and then the group of people all retreated. If there is a fight, Lao Snoring will send people here to continue to monitor.
But Lao Shou didn't, because the Japanese had a large group hiding here. They only had more than a hundred people, and they couldn't rush through. So Lao Snor thought that the group would definitely change their way, so he didn't stay, otherwise they would have to go through it.
When retreating, you have to order someone to call the scouts back, which is a waste of time.
And judging from the enemy's advancing speed and their intentions hidden in the woods, they are either preparing to sneak attack Jiangyin Fortress, or they are waiting for reinforcements! ...
