There is more than one road from Tieling County to Fengtian. Among them, the nearest and smoothest is the one that passes through Qingmacan, but it is also the one that people take the least. The reason is that there is a big bandit in Qingmacan, Du Jintang, who occupies
With a radius of more than a hundred miles, all businessmen who passed by his mountain had to call him Lugong, otherwise they might not be able to keep their names.
The government troops had encircled and suppressed them several times in the past, but the bandits in Qingmacan were familiar with the terrain. Coupled with the high mountains and dense forests, and the complex terrain, the several encirclement and suppression attempts failed without success, and instead they lost a lot of manpower.
After going back and forth, the officers and soldiers learned the lesson and no longer easily touched the power of Qingmakan. The bandits in Qingmakan were also very sensible, and they followed the officers and soldiers on their own paths.
bridge.
However, this is the path Phoenix is taking.
As soon as Feng Huang's plan to come to Fengtian City to wait for Luo Xiao came out, he was strongly opposed by the commanders of the Yanhuang Army, saying that it was too dangerous.
However, Fenghuang didn't listen at all. She was determined to go to Fengtian. In the end, there was no other way and everyone had to agree.
However, when it comes to the choice of road, Fenghuang prefers to take the Qingmakan road. She feels that Huxiaoling is now famous, and even Qingmakan has to give some respect, so it should be safe to go this way.
It has been half a year since she and Luo Xiao separated. She has not seen Luo Xiao again in such a long time. Now that she knows that Luo Xiao will return to Fengtian to command the counterattack against Fengtian, she can no longer sit still and is determined to go to Fengtian.
People tried to persuade her again, but Fenghuang still insisted on her opinion. In the end, everyone had to give in again, but put forward a condition that she would bring a team of special forces members with her to protect her safety on the road.
Of course Fenghuang would not object to this condition, so Sun Jian transferred ten special operations team members from the Huya Special Operations Brigade, and then a detachment from the Hidden Dragon Mountain Team led by Fenghuang, totaling thirty people, to accompany her to Fengtian.
After setting off, Fenghuang and the others were very safe along the way. After all, the names of Huxiaoling and Luo Xiao were not something that ordinary forces would dare to despise, so every time they passed a mountain top, they were greeted from afar and treated like honored guests.
Phoenix and the others even jokingly called this an "imperial inspection."
After leaving the boundary of Tieling County and walking southwest, we entered the boundary of Qingmacan. There are many mountains here and the mountain roads are circuitous and pass through each mountain. However, the road is very flat.
Fenghuang and the others had one man and one horse, all of which were obtained when Luo Xiao burned the Japanese cavalry regiment. Except for the cavalry regiment, which had enough horses, the rest were distributed to each team for use.
Recently, the Japs have set up a blockade around Huxiaoling, and there are Japs armored vehicles patrolling back and forth on various roads. As they walk on the roads, Fenghuang and the others may encounter Japs at any time.
Therefore, in order to maintain mobility, Phoenix and the others were all equipped with war horses to form a cavalry detachment.
Riding on a war horse, Phoenix is still dressed in black with red trim, covered with a red cloak, and has a pair of shell guns stuck in his waist. From a distance, it looks like a burning flame, and he looks heroic.
But the disadvantage is that in this ice and snow, it is really eye-catching.
In front of her were more than a dozen soldiers from the Hidden Dragon Mountain Team, and there were also a dozen more behind her. These people were watching the movements around them vigilantly, ready to go into battle at any time.
The four members of the Huya Special Operations Brigade did not wear special operations uniforms, but put on the military uniforms of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Team. They carried submachine guns on their backs and followed Phoenix inseparably.
The team's march was not too slow, and by noon they arrived at a hill less than five miles away from Qingmakan.
Standing on the hill, Phoenix looked far into the distance and saw the mountain road winding down from the hill, spreading forward among the undulating mountains, and among the green mountains in the distance, the towering peak
It should be Qingmakan, the home base of Du Jintang's forces.
The twenty members of the Hidden Dragon Mountain team who came this time are also Phoenix's old team. There are six men and four women in total, all with good skills. The leader is Qingshuang, a woman, but her skills are the best among this group of people.
The best.
As for the four special forces members, they were not within the scope. Qingshuang knew that he was far behind compared with them. Rather than calling these four people, it would be more appropriate to call them killing machines.
"Miss, let's take a rest and eat some dry food." Qingshuang rode up to Fenghuang and handed her the water bag, "Qingmakan is ahead of us, let's rest, and then rush over as fast as we can."
"What, Qingshuang, did you notice anything?" Fenghuang stopped raising the water bag when he heard it, turned around and asked.
Qingshuang shook her head, but the expression on her face was still so serious, "No, miss, but I always feel a little uneasy, so we will work together in a while, and the sooner we pass the Qingma Kandi boundary, the better."
Fenghuang smiled, and glared at Qingshuang angrily, "You girl, you have been thinking all day long. Two days ago, you said someone peeked at you taking a bath, and it turned out to be a squirrel, haha."
Qingshuang couldn't help but blush when she heard what she said, and whispered, "Maybe, maybe I'm thinking too much."
"Dismount and rest. We will set off in half an hour."
Following Fenghuang's order, all the soldiers dismounted and found a place to drink water and eat dry food, while two soldiers stood on high ground and were on guard.
Phoenix found a piece of bluestone, took out the compressed biscuits he had brought with him, then took out one piece, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and swallowed it with water.
Although the compressed biscuits taste a little dry, they are one of the best dry foods for marching and fighting. For Phoenix, who has even eaten wild vegetables and bark, these are naturally no problem.
After eating a few mouthfuls of dry food, Phoenix leaned his body on the bluestone, closed his eyes and began to rest. Although the ground was covered with snow, it was not damp or cold at all after being covered with military felt.
"Where is Brother Luo now? What are you doing?" Closing his eyes, Phoenix's mind was filled with the shadow of Luo Xiao, and he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
Suddenly, the four special forces members sitting next to her opened their eyes together, holding the submachine gun in their arms, as if they had discovered the enemy's cheetah, and their whole bodies tensed up.
At the same time, Qingshuang also opened his eyes, quickly pulled out a pair of shell guns, and shouted to the other team members who were closing their eyes to rest, "Get up, there's something going on."
With a roar, all the soldiers sat up, grabbed their weapons, and looked around.
Phoenix also pulled out the cannon. She stepped over to Qingshuang and asked in a deep voice, "Qingshuang, what did you find?"
"There seems to be the sound of horse hooves and wheels." Qingshuang closed her eyes slightly, listened, and then said, "The direction should be over there." She pointed to the direction she came from just now.
At this time, the four special forces members had already connected with the special forces members responsible for police reconnaissance and pathfinding. They asked them about the situation ahead. After asking them, they reported to Phoenix Hui, "Captain, everything is normal up front."
"It's a Japanese patrol!" A soldier climbed onto a high rock and looked towards the road behind him. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "There are so many Japanese."
"How many people are there?" Phoenix shouted at him and asked.
The soldier looked at it carefully and then shouted, "There are too many, at least several hundred."
People's hearts sank. If there were dozens of Japs, everyone could still win, but now there are hundreds of Japs. No matter how powerful they are, they are no match for the opponent.
Looking around, Fenghuang discovered that they were located between two mountains. Except for the hills here, there were towering cliffs on both sides, making it difficult to hide people.
What to do? Everyone is desperately trying to think of a solution.
