Chapter Twenty-Five: Tailgating Shot

During the day, it looks still sunny, but at night it is dark, although it is not that you can't see your fingers, but it is also dark and you can't see anything clearly. Looking up, you can't see the moon, and there are only a few stars in the dark night sky. Due to the inadequate nutritional supplements, more than seventy or eighty percent of the wounded soldiers were night blind, and for them, this environment was tantamount to a pitch black trench, and they could not do anything but stumble in the dark like a blind man.

The checkpoints set up by the garrison regiment were delayed for a long time, and in addition, the bodies of those wounded soldiers were indeed unfit for emergency marching, and when the sun was dark, Tang Cheng and they could not reach Changsha City, so Tang Cheng had to order to camp in the field for the night. It's June now, and camping in the field is not too hard, and the wounded soldiers are still covered in military blankets, even if there is dew at night. The camp had fallen silent, the wounded soldiers who were taking care of the military blankets had fallen asleep, and even the people on duty at the campfire were leaning together and drowsy.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of a whisper at the edge of the camp, and then, from the opposite side of the campfire, a dark figure suddenly appeared. This is the farthest place from the person who is on duty, and to get here from the place where the value is more, you need to bypass half of the camp, and the person on duty cannot see the situation here. If it is daytime, the people on duty can naturally have an unobstructed view of this place, but now it is late at night, and the people on duty are vigilant, and they can't see the situation here clearly from a distance of more than ten meters.

The figure that suddenly appeared was very dexterous, and he slowly leaned down, moving forward little by little. There was a soft "click", and the black shadow quickly curled up into a ball, although it only stepped on a dead branch just now, but the sound was very obvious in the dark night. The campfire seemed to hear the movement here, and there was a slight commotion, and then a shout came: "Who is it? ”

The black shadow was still curled up and motionless, and the man on duty at the campfire shone a flashlight in this direction, and even stood up to take a closer look, but naturally found nothing. After a long while, the man on duty extinguished the flashlight, muttered twice, and shrank back, and after a while, there was an even snoring sound around the campfire.

After waiting for a long time, the curled black shadow crawled to the ground and continued to crawl out. He cautiously bypassed the perimeter of the camp with a sharp wooden gun, and climbed out for more than twenty meters before he stood up and ran out in a puff of smoke, and soon his figure disappeared in the night. The stars are wide and wide, and in the vast world, it seems that he is the only one, and the black shadow obviously has a number in his heart, and he walked straight to the northwest direction, and soon walked out of three or four miles.

The dark shadows that were scurrying in the night were obviously familiar with the terrain, and did not stop along the way, but only made a quick journey to the northwest, bypassing a small village, and then turning west for some distance. When he heard the sound of rushing water in front of him, his heart was relieved, and a small stream appeared in front of him, not big, but the current was very fast and clear. Nourished by the stream, the vegetation on both sides of the bank is quite lush and the grass is green.

The black shadow followed the creek upstream, and about a moment of tea, a forest appeared in front of it. Seven or eight fires were lit in the glade, and the flames were extinguished, illuminating the surrounding area. There was a strange smell in the flames, apparently a lot of mosquito repellent herbs had been added to the fire. Next to the fire, weeds have been burned in many places, and three tents have been set up on them. Several men dressed as ordinary people were sitting by the campfire at the moment talking and laughing loudly, and the black shadow coming along the stream couldn't help frowning, and really wanted to get out from behind the tree, but there was already a hard object on the back of the waist.

"Third child, don't you think we are all waste, and we don't know how to arrange a secret post when camping in the wild at night?" As soon as the black shadow raised his hands, a laughing voice came from behind him, and the black shadow turned back angrily, and the person standing behind him had already disappeared into the forest. The black shadow scolded silently, and then walked to the bonfire in the forest, and under the reflection of the firelight, he found the face of the black shadow, which looked not much bigger than Tang Cheng.

It's just that this person seems to be born with a grueling face, an already gloomy complexion, coupled with a mouth that has been tightly pursed, his face is tense, and a breath of resentment and anger is about to come out. The black shadow appeared in the forest, and the people sitting around the bonfire greeted him one after another, but the yin owl on the black shadow's face dissipated, waiting for a middle-aged man to come out of one of the tents, and the yin owl on the black shadow's face seemed to be a little less.

"Third child, how was the investigation in the past? I thought you wouldn't be back so soon. "What came out of the tent was Shen Huaiyu, the stationmaster of the Changsha Station of the Military Commander, and the person standing in front of him was surnamed Yu, this person had no big name, and everyone who knew him called him the third child, including Shen Huaiyu. It was Shen Huaiyu's idea to let Ma Dapeng's garrison block the road and set up a card, and many years of military command career had given Shen Huaiyu a suspicious temperament, although he failed to find a flaw in Tang Cheng, but Shen Huaiyu still wanted to test Tang Cheng and them.

Yu Laosan took the kettle handed by Shen Huaiyu and drank it in a big gulp, and drank a whole pot of water before Yu Laosan spoke. "I have entered their camp, and there is not even a decent sentry, and I have already reached them, but the night watchman is still sleeping by the fire. Dian Army, hehe, that's the level. Yu Laosan's words were filled with disdain for the Yunnan Army, Shen Huaiyu didn't feel anything wrong when he heard it, Yu Laosan was the most capable action team member under him, and it was normal to look down on the Yunnan Army.

In the evening today, Shen Huaiyu had already sent someone to catch up with Tang Cheng and them in advance to investigate, and found out the whereabouts of Tang Cheng and the others, so Shen Huaiyu sent Yu Laosan to test Tang Cheng's defense at night. Unlike other members of Shen Huaiyu's operational team, the proud Yu Laosan was originally from the rivers and lakes, and no matter what era he was, scouts would always be the most elite branch of the army. Yu Laosan's usual job is to track and reconnoiter the enemy's movements, and reconnaissance is simply familiar to him.

Yu Laosan didn't know why his stationmaster was not interested in a group of wounded soldiers of the Dian army, he just followed Shen Huaiyu's instructions to go into their camp in Tangcheng to investigate. I thought I needed to be more cautious, but I didn't expect that this trip would be like going out to play, and the other party had no defense at all. Shen Huaiyu is his own station master, and Yu Laosan can't say that it is overkill to send him to do this, so he has to express his disdain for the Dian army in his words.

"Alright, you go and rest first, and we'll leave in two hours." Shen Huaiyu looked down at his watch, and then asked Yu Laosan to rest for a while. The garrison group failed to find the flaw during the day, but this does not mean that he can't find the flaw, Shen Huaiyu has already planned the next move, whether the other party has anything on him to catch up with the afternoon, he only needs to try it at that time.

Yu Laosan's temperament is a little withdrawn, and he is basically out of tune with the people in the military command team, so everyone else sits around and chats nonsense, and only Yu Laosan is alone with his head bowed and wiping his gun. Fortunately, these members of the military command action team under Shen Huaiyu were already familiar with Yu Laosan's temperament, not only did no one bother Yu Laosan to wipe the gun, but some people brought Yu Laosan clean rags and gun polish for wiping the gun.

Shen Huaiyu's choice of sortie time was three o'clock in the morning, at this time the people were the most sleepy, and it was not long before dawn at this time, and those sentry posts who were still awake were also the most drowsy and distracted. Regarding Shen Huaiyu's caution, Yu Laosan still has always disagreed, he has already touched the other party's camp and seen it, not to mention that they have more than a dozen good players in one go, even if they are alone, they can take down those wounded soldiers of the Dian army.

As long as Shen Huaiyu is present, Yu Laosan has never liked to say much, seeing Shen Huaiyu's gesture, Yu Laosan got up and walked out of the woodland, and the other military commanders' action team members and Shen Huaiyu followed closely behind Yu Laosan. According to the route he had just taken, Yu Laosan took Shen Huaiyu and his party to cross the stream all the way, and it took a little more time than when they came back, and the camp of the Dian army in the roadside field appeared in Shen Huaiyu's sight.

Perhaps due to the negligence of the night watchman or the fact that he had fallen asleep, the campfires in the camp had been extinguished, and only a faint smoke remained wafting through the camp. Shen Huaiyu, who was half-squatting, looked carefully for a while, and then raised his arm and made a gesture, and the action team members around him immediately took out lighters or matches and prepared to light the torches they brought. "Let's start" As Shen Huaiyu's deep voice sounded, the torches on his side were lit one after another, and Yu Laosan found that these action team members were still wearing masks on their faces.

"I opened this mountain, I paved this road, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road money. As long as we are good men in Erma Mountain, we don't want money, take out all the valuable things on your body, and if you resist, be careful that grandpa wants your life. A stout fellow of the squad first shouted an incision in the rivers and lakes, and then rushed into their camp in Tangcheng with his companions carrying a torch in one hand and a short gun in the other.

The originally silent camp was filled with exclamations and shouts, and the wounded soldiers wrapped in military blankets were punched and kicked together by the action team members who pretended to be bandits, but fortunately they only moved their fists and feet, and the wounded soldiers were not too harmed. "We are the wounded soldiers of the Dian army, who are you?" Of course, there are no people who have not resisted, and there are already wounded soldiers with rifles and confronting the operatives who are pretending to be bandits, and they are about to open fire.
