Chapter 22 The Road Meets the National Army
Zheng Guotai set off with his action team. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble on the road, the group all changed into civilian clothes. More than 30 people drove a carriage out of Tongbai County and rushed to Heilong Town, the seat of the 69th Army.
The carriage was in the middle, and Zheng Guotai followed the carriage with a whip like a real coachman. Wang Hua and his soldiers surrounded the carriage on all sides, and from a distance, it looked a bit like a large family escorting their family members out of the house.
The carriage was loaded with nearly 200 pistols, which was about the same as two people sitting in it, but I heard that experienced robbers could tell at a glance from the rut marks whether it was a person or a cargo on the carriage. This experienced robber is needless to say Jin Feilong. According to Grand Master Jin, when he first went down the mountain to block the road and rob the car, he could tell whether the car was loaded with gold, silver or jewelry just by looking at the wheel prints, so that he had never missed a job in the work of barricade and robbery for decades. Although he knew that this guy was bragging, Zheng Guotai still felt awkward, so much so that he didn't know the bottom of his heart halfway through.
The road surface is dry and taut, and on both sides are dry branches and yellow weeds. From the beginning of the descent, Zheng Guotai reminded Wang Hua to strengthen his vigilance. Platoon Commander Wang and his soldiers each have a box cannon hidden in their arms, since they are dressed as ordinary people, they must have the appearance of ordinary people, what does a person carry a rifle like? Before leaving, Zheng Guotai equipped Wang Hua's platoon with box guns. The chief of general affairs has the goods in his hands, and all the weapons and baggage of the 500 army belong to him, so what is it to take out dozens of box guns from them?
In the shed on the carriage, in addition to the boxes of scrapped pistols, there were also two Czech light machine guns and a box of grenades! If Gao Quan hadn't said that it was unnecessary, Zheng Guotai really wanted to bring two more grenadiers.
After walking through one mountain after another, the height of the mountain is getting lower and lower, the plain is getting closer and closer, and it is getting farther and farther away from the sphere of influence of the 500th Army. There were few pedestrians on the mountain road, and when I looked ahead, I couldn't see a single figure until I reached the bend in the mountain road. It was half an hour before I met a group of pedestrians. The rush was very boring, but Zheng Guotai didn't dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest, this was a task given to him by Junzuo himself, and Director Zheng didn't want to mess it up.
After walking for more than three hours in a row, Zheng Guotai's head was already a little sweaty. To narrow down the target, he took only one carriage with him. The horse-drawn cart is already a little difficult, and although Zheng Guotai's calves are stiff, he is reluctant to sit in the carriage. He took off the towel on his shoulder, wiped his sweat, and turned his face to look at the warriors around him. In the end, the young man has good physical fitness, and he is also walking underground with the carriage, Zheng Guotai has obviously had a fast heartbeat, but Wang Hua and his soldiers are still light and vigorous, and they don't look tired at all.
After barely holding on for another half an hour, Zheng Guotai really couldn't walk, "Brother Wang, let's rest for a while before leaving?" ”
"All right, the brethren stop and rest around the carriage!" Wang Hua is responsible for safety protection, even when he is resting, he does not forget about safety.
"Don't be so solemn Brother Wang, the more normal we behave, the safer we are. If you're too nervous, it's easy to get attention. Zheng Guotai is very old, and at first glance he is the master who often goes out, "Let the brothers come over, let's sit together and drink some water and eat some dry food, and then rest before leaving." ”
The soldiers gathered together, silently drinking water and eating dry food, Zheng Guotai saw that the atmosphere was too heavy, so he told two jokes that were not very high-spirited, and immediately made these young soldiers laugh. The atmosphere was lively, and young people were talking and laughing together and joking with each other. In this relaxed environment, Zheng Guotai felt that the soreness and numbness on his two legs had also been reduced a lot. Wang Hua also talked and laughed with the soldiers, and only occasionally showed a glimmer of essence when his two eyes glanced into the distance.
"What's that?" Wang Hua stood up suddenly, his eyes looking ahead.
A figure appeared on the road ahead, followed by two, three, and a dozen soldiers in uniform with large guns lazily walked along the road.
"All stand up and protect the carriage!" Wang Hua let out a low snort, and more than thirty soldiers quickly got up and stood around the carriage, vigilantly looking at the dozen or so soldiers who were getting closer and closer.
"Relax, relax. We pass slowly. Wang Hua, don't let your brothers look like they want to fight like they see devils. In front is the national army, not devils. Let's walk, walk slowly. "I don't want to do much when I go out to do things, Zheng Guotai made up his mind to endure it if he can, and resolutely not quarrel with others. Isn't it just a few soldiers of the national army, leave them alone, go your own way, and let others see it!
Getting closer, those national soldiers also saw Zheng Guotai and their group clearly. They all looked at Zheng Guotai and Wang Hua with strange eyes, as if they had appeared in a place where they shouldn't have been.
Zheng Guotai grinned and nodded and smirked at those who were soldiers, Wang Hua lowered his head and just walked his own way, and the soldiers next to the carriage were all vigilant, and their bodies escorted the carriage forward from all directions.
The road was not wide, and the oncoming group of soldiers went to the side of the road, and this carriage occupied almost half of the road, and the soldiers stuck to the right and walked in a column. Our warriors were divided into two parts, one in front and one in the back, and people on both sides passed by. Seeing that the carriage had passed, a squad leader of a sergeant in the national army suddenly turned around and shouted: "Stop!" ”
Zheng Guotai chuckled in his heart, pulled the reins to stop the horse, and slowly turned around to look back, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with the boss? ”
"What's on the wagon? Ters, check it! The squad leader of the national army stretched out his hand to take off the rifle from his shoulder, and immediately came to this side with his eyebrows, and the group of soldiers who were with him also took the gun in their hands, looking at Wang Hua and his soldiers vigilantly. Although these people were wearing civilian clothes, they were more than 30 strong young men, which was enough to attract the attention of this group of national troops.
"Boss, boss, on the carriage is the old lady of our family who is seriously ill, and he is pulled to the bottom of the mountain to treat the disease. You're high, you're high. This is cigarette money to buy a pack of cigarettes for the brothers to smoke. Zheng Guotai said as he took out two bills from his pocket and came this way, looking like he was ready to spend money to buy peace.
"Is it your old lady pulling up the carriage? I don't think it looks like it? The sergeant looked at Zheng Guotai, and then at the carriage with the curtains drawn, and frowned, "What kind of disease does your old lady have?" ”
"Nest disease." Zheng Guotai said as he leaned over and shoved the money into the sergeant's hand. As long as this guy is dismissed, their team can move on.
"Nest disease?" The sergeant repeated, looking at Zheng Guotai's eyes a little timid, often taking a step back, not daring to take the money in Zheng Guotai's hand.
