Chapter 41: The Fierce Battle of Erdaoling (1)

The superiors just asked Cheng Liang to find an opportunity to test Lu Yuan, after all, they hadn't seen the things Xie Shen said. Moreover, Lu Yuan will go out to escort these students, but it is only the relationship between the underground party organization in Tianjin, but Lu Yuan has nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army. But now it's okay, Lu Yuan has made a move, and he can be regarded as seeing other people's skills, but Cheng Liang suddenly didn't know how to face Lu Yuan.

Seeing that no one spoke, Lu Yuan just smiled slightly, and then left slowly with his box and rifle, while Xie Shen only glanced at Cheng Liang fiercely, and chased Lu Yuan away. "Mr. Lu, don't be angry, what happened just now was just Company Commander Cheng's personal behavior, and I didn't know about it in advance." Xie Shen, who caught up with Lu Yuan, whispered, trying to ease the relationship with Lu Yuan, and grudging with someone like Lu Yuan was definitely not something that the Tianjin underground party organization wanted to happen.

Lu Yuan didn't refuse Xie Shen's kindness, he just smiled and handed him the rifle in his hand, "I don't care, if it weren't for your brother who had to keep me for a few more days, maybe I would have already eaten donkey meat in Baoding." As for what happened just now, I know what's going on, and no one will blame you Mr. Xie, so you can relax. Lu Yuan's answer softened Xie Shen's heart slightly, and at the same time, he secretly scolded Cheng Liang in his heart that they were really a little too much just now, after all, Lu Yuan was a guest left by himself.

After experiencing the events of the morning, Lu Yuan did not close the door as Cheng Liang expected, and after a simple breakfast, Lu Yuan, together with Xie Shen and Xiao Zhenghua, drove a carriage out of the Eighth Route Army and went straight to the county seat of Tang County. "Look, I'll just say don't mess with his things, now it's okay, people are completely ignoring me." In the house where Lu Yuan stayed, Huang Dashan and Cheng Liang, who rushed to hear the news, did not find the long box, and Huang Dashan, who was forced to come, had to complain to Cheng Liang.

Cheng Liang was also secretly angry about this, but neither he nor Huang Dashan noticed that the ground in front of the threshold had already been lightly sprinkled with a layer of floating soil by Lu Yuan, and now Lu Yuan's house was full of footprints left by Cheng Liang and Huang Dashan. Lu Yuan's trip to the county seat was just a temptation, and Lu Yuan, who came back from the county seat before dinner, saw at first glance that the floating soil in front of the threshold had been trampled on. In addition, some of the small arrangements he made in the house before leaving had already been moved, and Lu Yuan was already sure that someone had entered his house, but Lu Yuan didn't say anything, because he didn't want to embarrass Xie Shen.

For two days in a row, Lu Yuan rode out early in the morning, Cheng Liang also continued to touch Lu Yuan's house, but he couldn't find the long box, and Cheng Liang, who was puzzled, could only force himself to come up with an answer, that is, Lu Yuan hid the box outside the station. Things are routed, although this is the garrison of the Eighth Route Army, but Cheng Liang can't force Lu Yuan to hand over the box, after all, Lu Yuan is not the enemy of the Eighth Route Army.

Early in the morning of the third day, Lu Yuan finally stopped going out, but went directly to Xie Shen. "Mr. Xie, I have also lived with you for several days, as the old saying goes, there is no banquet in this world, and I am ready to go back to Tianjin. However, before leaving, I have a gift for you Eighth Route Army, and you inform Company Commander Cheng that it is best to take his soldiers to Erdaoling before dinner, and I will surprise them. ”

After Lu Yuan said these words, he turned around and left, Xie Shen knew that he couldn't stop Lu Yuan, so he immediately relayed Lu Yuan's words just now to Cheng Liang. Cheng Liang is extremely familiar with the terrain here in Tang County, and when he heard Xie Shen say Erdaoling, Cheng Liang's face immediately became solemn, because Erdaoling was once the main point of many battles between the Eighth Route Army of Tang County and the Baoding Japanese Puppet Army. At present, in Erdaoling, the Japanese puppet army has built several strongholds, and a squadron of the Japanese army and a large number of imperial troops have been stationed for a long time.

When Cheng Liang learned about this, Lu Yuan had already ridden his horse and left alone, to go or not to go? Cheng Liang's heart immediately became entangled, and after thinking for a while, Cheng Liang decided to report the matter to the regiment headquarters, and everything was decided by the will of his superiors. Lu Yuan went to Erdaoling alone, and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, which heard about it, quickly gave instructions and asked Cheng Liang's company to rush to Erdaoling. It's just that in the order Cheng Liang received, the regiment headquarters did not want them to watch, but to send out an attack to bring Lu Yuan back to Tang County alive. Cheng Liang, who received the order, was very helpless, so he had to take his company and set off straight to Erdaoling, and Xie Shen also lent all the mules and horses on hand to Cheng Liang's company.

Going to Erdaoling to find trouble with the Japanese army was not a whim of Lu Yuan, in fact, from the first day he came to Tang County, Lu Yuan was secretly observing this Eighth Route Army team. If you just look at the morale of the soldiers, this Eighth Route Army team can be regarded as a third-rate army, but looking at their weapons and equipment, they are not even qualified to enter the stream. Lu Yuan went out early and returned late these days, and he was using his full-view map to search for targets worthy of his own shot around Tang County, and after some searching, Erdaoling became Lu Yuan's preferred target.

The skill of shooting the Japanese soldiers in the building, and being able to provide a large amount of weapons and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army, is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. After leaving the garrison of the Eighth Route Army, Lu Yuan rode his horse all the way, and soon arrived at a mountain col only three or four miles away from Erdaoling. After dismounting, Lu Yuan did not waste much time, and after changing his combat clothing and equipment, Lu Yuan left the flower horse he rode in the col, and then climbed quickly up the gentle slope on the side of the col.

The ridge behind the col is not very high, and in about ten minutes, Lu Yuan has already reached the top of the ridge. After carefully looking at the surrounding terrain, Lu Yuan immediately opened his full-view map, and within the search range of the full-view map, Lu Yuan could already see sparse red dots, but the closest red dot to him was also two miles away. In order not to affect the speed of travel, Lu Yuan, who rushed down the ridge from the back, was not equipped with weapons and ammunition, so he only wore a combat uniform and quickly moved towards another mountain.

After crossing three not very high mountains in a row, in the full-view map, the red dot closest to Lu Yuan was already within 500 meters, and Lu Yuan, who was already a little out of breath, finally stopped. After taking out the Mauser caliber sniper rifle from the storage space, Lu Yuan, who was wearing a camouflage net, immediately lay down and began to patiently use the scope of the sniper rifle to find the Japanese troops represented by the red dots in the full-view map.

With the help of the full-view map, Lu Yuan, who was lying on the ridge of the mountain, soon found a group of Japanese troops, and as shown on the full-view map, this group of only six Japanese patrols was moving from east to west at the foot of the mountain. Lu Yuan on the ridge secretly calculated the distance between himself and them, then slowly got up and moved down the mountain, and then took out the bipod holder and silencer and screwed them on the barrel.

The muffler was installed because Lu Yuan didn't want to expose his existence too early, and the bipod mount was installed, just to get a more stable shooting environment. Just in case, the place where Lu Yuan stayed at the moment was an angle between two huge rocks, Lu Yuan only needed to remove the camouflage net on his body at this moment and cover it in front of him, even if the other party had a sharp eye, there was no way to find out where Lu Yuan was. "Poof" When the Japanese patrol soldiers at the foot of the mountain appeared in sight, Lu Yuan immediately pulled the trigger, but there was a soft sound, and the first bullet had already come out of his chamber.

Hitting a big living person 300 meters away with a sniper rifle was nothing to Lu Yuan, and the Japanese soldier who was being aimed at by Lu Yuan with a scope fell in response. No gunfire was heard, and one of his companions suddenly collapsed, and the other Japanese soldiers immediately dispersed. But at the foot of the mountain, there was no suitable concealment at all, and the scattered Japanese soldiers could only lie down on the spot, and there were already people shooting indiscriminately without a target.

The indiscriminate shooting of the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain did not make Lu Yuan stop shooting, and the second bullet was discharged again, and this time it was a short and stout guy who looked like a veteran. With a crisp sound of "dang", the Japanese veteran whose steel helmet was chiseled by a bullet fell backwards on his back, and the two Japanese soldiers who were very close to him immediately rolled out when they saw this, thinking that they were afraid that they would become the next unlucky guy.

"Don't worry, it'll be your turn in a moment." Lu Yuan, who was behind the camouflage net, slowly moved the muzzle of his gun, looking for the next target. There were only four Japanese soldiers left alive at the foot of the mountain, and although the other side was superior in numbers, Lu Yuan was not worried about these. Without hearing the gunshots, two people were killed one after another on their side, and the four Japanese soldiers who were still alive had already been frightened, but ordinary soldiers didn't know that there was such a thing as a silencer in this world.

There was silence in all directions, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, but the four Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain were still lying motionless. There was another crisp sound, and a stream of bloody arrows splattered from the steel helmet of a Japanese soldier, and the condescending Lu Yuan once again chiseled through the steel helmet of a Japanese soldier with a bullet. What to do? Three people have been killed in battle, and the three Japanese soldiers who are still alive are cautiously twisting their heads to look at each other, and the three of them are already the last ones alive.

Kuroki, the eldest of the three, slowly pulled a grenade from his waist and gestured to the other two, killing three of his companions in quick succession, but they had not yet found the location of the attacker. Kuroki didn't think of any other way, so for the sake of now, only the three of them retreated separately to see who could make it back to the stronghold alive to report what happened here. Three, two, one, Kuroki silently thought in his heart, and when he counted to one, he threw the grenade directly in front of him with his raised arm.
