Chapter 232: Exploration

The sky was already bright, but there was a faint mist shrouded in the mountains, and five figures walked silently through the mist, led by a local guide, while Huo Xiaoshan, Shen Chong, Li Mingxian, and a Sichuan soldier followed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They came out to survey the terrain.

Since Huo Xiaoshan decided to stay and Li Mingxian welcomed him, it was imperative to stop the Japanese army.

Teng County is only more than 100 kilometers away from Xuzhou in the south, and Li Dashiqiang Village is the peripheral position of Teng County's main position.

According to Li Mingxian's meaning, the terrain of Dashiqiang Village is unfavorable, so he will retreat to the next back mountain and then block the Japanese army.

Huo Xiaoshan disagreed, he didn't want to be passively defensive, although he saw that the equipment configuration of his company was on par with or even exceeded that of the Japanese army, but Huo Xiaoshan knew that his sabers and guns could also show off with the Chinese army, and the Japanese planes, tanks, and heavy artillery were enough to drink a pot of their own.

So he came out early in the morning to see if he could find a suitable place for an ambush on the path that the Japanese army had to pass.

"It's a lot of fog here!" Shen Chong said, he estimated that although the sky was bright now, the visual distance was less than 100 meters.

"We are here to the west of Weishan Lake, and the lake water is not frozen, so the fog here is big in winter, and today it is quite small." The local guide said.

At this time, they had already crossed a piece of high ground to the north of the village, Huo Xiaoshan looked around, and saw that the few of them were walking into the mountain col, surrounded by high ground, but the mountain col was still very flat.

"Is this the only way to enter the village?" Huo Xiaoshan asked the guide.

"Of course, it's not just this one, but it's easy to go, and the others have to climb the rocks, one is too slow and the other is not for us locals to understand." The guide replied.

"Oh." Huo Xiaoshan nodded and continued to walk forward.

Just when he was about to reach the center of this col, Huo Xiaoshan stopped, because the terrain on the right side of the road was obviously much lower, and there was actually a small col in the big col that seemed to be flat.

The area of the small col is not large, an irregular circle, less than 30 meters in length and more than 10 meters in short

Huo Xiaoshan walked to the side of the small col and jumped down with a rock in his hand, raised his toes and looked around, and then squatted down to look at the upper edge of the small col.

Shen Chong and Li Ming were puzzled and wanted to jump down, but Huo Xiaoshan waved his hand, straightened up, and jumped up like a monkey in less than two strokes.

"Is there a little col like this in this col anywhere else?" Huo Xiaoshan asked the guide again.

"No, that's it." The guide replied.

Huo Xiaoshan nodded, didn't say anything more, walked back to the road, and walked forward again.

"Sir, do you say that we Chinese can beat the Japanese devils?" The guide turned his head and asked Shen Chong, who was walking side by side with him.

As an ordinary ordinary person, I heard and saw the ferocity of the invaders, and now I saw my own team stationed in my own village, the sense of security came very obvious, so there was no one who did not feel close to his troops.

But he didn't dare to talk to Li Mingxian, although Li Mingxian led the team to enter this village at the earliest, but every day he had a gloomy face.

He didn't dare to tell Huo Xiaoshan, who was obviously a leader, because it was obvious that Huo Xiaoshan was surveying the terrain and didn't talk much.

"Why can't you beat it? We Chinese have a lot of territory and a large territory, although the weapons are not as good as the little devils, but as long as the soldiers are not afraid of death, they will definitely be able to fight! Shen Chong replied without hesitation.

He followed Huo Xiaoshan and kept paying attention to Huo Xiaoshan's actions, he felt that Huo Xiaoshan must have the idea of ambushing the Japanese army, but there were ordinary people in front of him, and it was better to wait until he went back.

As for the guide's question, he answered it quickly, because he had thought about it himself a long time ago.

"At first glance, you are really fighting devils, our people like you like a team, this time there is hope, not like the chairman of our Shandong, who usually collects so many taxes from the people to spend money to support him, but when he sees the Japanese coming, he takes the lead in running, faster than a rabbit!" The guide opened the conversation, but he couldn't hold it back.

What is that, chairman? Shen Chong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately remembered that this chairman was not Zheng Youjian's cousin.

While resting in Bengbu, he listened to Huo Xiaoshan read an outdated newspaper that said that Zheng Fatzi's cousin had been shot because he had escaped from battle.

Zheng Youjian also listened to Huo Xiaoshan when he read that newspaper, and Zheng Youjian, who was used to talking like the water of the Yellow River, said surprisingly little, and only said two words: "You deserve it!" ”

These two brothers are still very different, his cousin has no virtue Shen Chong naturally has no chance to meet, but he is already familiar with Zheng Youjian.

Although whenever he looked at Zheng Youjian's broken mouth like a big broken car, Shen Chong had the urge to go up and smoke him, but Shen Chong also admitted that Zheng Youjian's advantages were still obvious, and he was in charge of the whole company's food, drink, and supply of weapons and ammunition, and this work was not something anyone could do.

Zheng Youjian can make money, but it is really good to his brothers, as far as their daily food and clothing are sometimes even better than when they were in the Central Military Academy, this is not simple, Shen Chong intuitively felt that there was only one Quartermaster Department in the whole of China.

And what makes me look higher is that his cannon is really surprisingly accurate, especially the last time he jerked off, I really didn't expect that Zheng Fatzi, who has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, rushed up with a small red flag, although the little red flag was tucked in the waistband of his trousers, but it really didn't hinder his majesty at that time.

It seems that Xiao Shanzi is right to ask him to pay attention to saving more face for Zheng Youjian.

"Stop! There is a case! Huo Xiaoshan suddenly stood in front, and then dragged the box cannon out.

Shen Chong suddenly woke up, and hurriedly dragged the gun to prepare, Li Mingxian and the Sichuan soldier also raised their guns.

"Retreat!" Huo Xiaoshan then ordered.

The four men leaned over and raised their guns to point forward, but they cautiously stepped back, while the guide hurriedly turned around and walked in front, although he was also very scared, he did not forget to whisper to remind the four men that there were pitfalls and bumps behind their feet, and not to fall into themselves.

The fog has faded a little, and they can already see a hundred meters away, Li Mingxian and the Sichuan soldier found that the end of their eyes was still only a white fog after the initial nervousness, and there was no shadow of the enemy, they looked at each other suspiciously, could it be that Huo Xiaoshan was wrong? It slowed down a bit.

"Don't stop, keep going!" Huo Xiaoshan in front seemed to feel their hesitation and whispered.

All veterans naturally understood the truth that it was better to believe in the enemy's situation than to believe it, so they no longer hesitated and hurried backwards.

It's just that Li Mingxian was a little confused, he kept facing the back of Huo Xiaoshan's head, Huo Xiaoshan didn't turn his head back, how did he find that his pace slowed down? Could it be that Huo Xiaoshan's perception is so keen? Could it be that there is really a devil in front of him but he didn't find out?

He blinked vigorously and looked forward, the ethereal and invisible mist of the winter gave him a cold feeling, while the tangible mist in the distance was still just mist, without the fluctuations caused by human figures.

It wasn't until they retreated to the edge of the col that Huo Xiaoshan stopped, and then the five of them hid their bodies behind the rocks and looked at the center of the col.

After a while, Shen Chong said in a low voice: "Here, seven devils." ”

"No, eight." Huo Xiaoshan corrected.

At the same time, Li Mingxian and the Sichuan soldiers also noticed the figures of the Japanese soldiers who had become clear from nothing in the mist, and those Japanese soldiers were also walking cautiously with their guns and cats just like they had just done, just moving forward.

Obviously, these Japanese soldiers were also here to investigate the situation, just like them.

The enemy situation was in front of him, as a veteran, Li Mingxian would not explore Huo Xiaoshan's amazing insight now, but took off the box cannon on his waist, and put the wooden box and the gun together to prepare to shoot, and then he realized that Huo Xiaoshan and Shen Chong had already completed the action of holding the gun against his shoulder one step ahead of him.

"How? One person fights two? Shen Chong asked, seeing that the Japanese soldiers were getting closer and closer, and they had reached the small col in the middle, only a hundred meters away, and they could already see the yellow color of their uniforms.

"No, one person fights one, I'm going to let a few live mouths go back, don't shoot this brother, they won't be able to drag back if they kill too much." Huo Xiaoshan is talking about the Sichuan soldier who holds the Sichuan singles.

The Sichuan soldier was unconvinced and said You are not my commander, why should I listen to you, but when he looked at Li Mingxian, Li Mingxian had already nodded at him and signaled to execute, and the Sichuan soldier was helpless, so he had to leave his index finger off the trigger.

"Company Commander Li is the first to fight, Shen Chong is the one on the right side by side with him, and I am the one behind me, are you ready?" Huo Xiaoshan asked.

"Alright." Li Mingxian and Shen Chong replied at the same time.

"Ready, fight!" Huo Xiaoshan let out a low snort, and almost at the same time, the gun rang out, because the password was the same, and the shooting time was the same, the three gunshots converged into one, which was extraordinarily crisp in the silent mountain col.

The first three Japanese soldiers 100 meters away fell in response, and there was an extra bullet hole in front of the steel helmet!

Suddenly attacked, the Japanese soldiers behind hurriedly lay down on the ground and fired a few random shots in their direction, but they obviously did not find the real location of Huo Xiaoshan's hiding, and the bullets fired were almost a thousand miles apart.

"Don't fight, I'll come!" Huo Xiaoshan said, then lowered the muzzle of the gun, and fired a burst at the front of several Japanese soldiers, and the sudden bullets shot a few meters in front of the Japanese soldiers who were lying on their stomachs, shooting out a cloud of smoke and dust.

They could only faintly hear the Japanese soldiers shouting something, and one of the Japanese soldiers was shooting indiscriminately in this direction, and the rest dragged the three dead bodies backwards.

"Shen Chong give him another shuttle, don't hit anyone." Huo Xiaoshan said again.

And so, in another cloud of smoke, the Japanese army dragged the bodies of their dead accomplices into the mist of mist.

"I'm blind with three guns, and I could have stayed." Shen Chong said with annoyance.

Huo Xiaoshan had already begun to collect the gun, and said while collecting the gun: "It doesn't matter, tomorrow, why don't you also change the batch of 38 covers for the brothers of the Sichuan Army." ”

"By the way, Company Commander Li, do we have artillery battles and foreign iron barrels in this village?" Huo Xiaoshan turned his head and asked Li Mingxian.

"Ahh The short battle was over, and Li Mingxian, who was relieved, was a little slow to react, because he was already shocked by Huo Xiaoshan's actions after he discovered the Japanese army.

He only had one thought at this time, this Huo Xiaoshan was a veteran among veterans, a king of soldiers!

Huo Xiaoshan said that it was ridiculous to change a batch of 38 covers for them tomorrow, but Li Mingxian found that there was another voice in his head telling him: This can be done!

He was so shocked that he didn't hear Huo Xiaoshan explain to him later, "The artillery battle in the Northeast is firecrackers." (To be continued.) )
