Chapter 1477 The Disappearing Scout
The regiment commander led the team to continue heading towards Shilipo, with the Chief of Staff and the First Battalion Commander following closely behind, and followed with the follow-up team.
But the Chief of Staff could not calm down. Along the way, they went from Xuanwu City to Qinglong Town and then to Qilizhuang without any resistance from the commando team, and they were unobstructed.
This was a very happy thing to take down the position without a single shot, but the more this happened, the more it made the Chief of Staff feel confused.
Although he had not personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the commando, it was somewhat verified from the failure of the Japanese fighting, which shows that the strength of this team cannot be coveted.
But when they faced such a powerful force, they did not encounter any obstacles on the attack. This was simply unreasonable and unreasonable.
Therefore, he was worried that there was a conspiracy hidden in it, and whether the opponent deliberately set up a plan for them so that they could fall into the other party's trap without any preparation.
He originally wanted to talk to the leader of the group to say these doubts and uneasiness, but at this moment the leader was stunned by the victory in front of him and could not listen to anything he said. Therefore, he could only keep these words in his heart for the time being and say nothing.
But he couldn't do anything, so he found the battalion commander on the side and said to the battalion commander: "Let your team pay more attention to the situation around you later!"
"Yes!" The first battalion commander didn't know what the Chief of Staff was worried about, but that was not what he should consider. At this moment, what he should do was to carry out the Chief of Staff's orders and strengthen the vigilance tasks around the team.
The team followed the commander riding horses and arrived all the way to the vicinity of Shilipo.
Shilipo is a valley, and the road passes directly through the valley, with towering cliffs on both sides. Before, Wang Si set up an ambush here to annihilate an infantry platoon of the Japanese, taking advantage of the terrain advantages here.
It's now here again, but this time the protagonist was replaced by the main force of the National Army, not the Japanese.
Seeing the valley that appeared in front of him, the Chief of Staff immediately sat on the horse and raised his right hand to stop the team from continuing to move forward. He immediately said to the first battalion commander on the side: "First Battalion Commander!"
"Come!" The first battalion commander did not dare to be negligent and trotted towards the front line on the spot. When he stood in front of the chief of staff, his feet were closed together, his shoulders were flat, his waist was raised and his abdomen was closed, and he saluted in front of the chief of staff.
"Brother Yang, what do you mean? Why don't you let the team continue to move forward?" The regiment commander immediately asked the Chief of Staff and said, asking directly as if he didn't understand the Chief of Staff's current actions.
"Room, look, this road is penetrated in the middle of the canyon. If the commando takes the guy and arranges a team to ambush us on the hanging walls on both sides, we will suffer heavy losses!" When the Chief of Staff saw the leader asking, he immediately reported his concerns and the road situation in front of him, and explained everything clearly as soon as possible.
This kind of terrain is very unfavorable to their marching. Once they are ambushed, their entire team will be in desperate situations. Not to mention the heavy casualties, they may have to be left here.
"Old Yang, I think you're over-concerned. There are only a few dozen people in this commando. Not to mention that they do not have the ability to surround a team like ours, even if there is such a possibility, with our number, they will directly crush them!" The commander seemed to think that the Chief of Staff was making a big deal.
In his eyes, the team of dozens of brothers could not catch his eye. He felt that the superiors were using their talents to eliminate the rebels. How could they listen to these words from the Chief of Staff now?
"What the commander said does make sense, but it's not a mistake to be careful. After all, the capsized ship in the gutter has not happened, right?" The Chief of Staff knew the commander's temper very well, and knew that it would be impossible to get things done if he spoke hard. And he also made the commander argue with him, which made the entire team unable to concentrate their efforts to fight.
Therefore, on the one hand, he followed the commander's wishes and on the other hand, he expressed his thoughts to the commander. No matter what, he could not do anything without preparation, and let the team venture into a crisis.
"Since you don't care about the trouble, then you can arrange it, but the premise is that it will not affect the time when our large army arrives in Puliu Town!" said the regiment commander at this time, "We must arrive in Puliu Town before sunset and surround the rebels!"
The regiment commander's plan was smooth sailing, and there was no estimate of the possible changes in this. This was because he had basically not been blocked throughout the journey, which gave rise to his contempt for the commando, and he did not take this rebellion seriously.
"Yes!" He could not refuse the decision of the regiment commander, so the chief of staff could only do what he should do as much as possible to ensure that the team's losses were minimized.
After saying this, the Chief of Staff immediately said to the First Battalion Commander: "First Battalion Commander, you send a squad in to check the situation. Be sure to find out the situation inside before coming back to report it!"
"Yes!" The battalion commander responded immediately when he heard the order, and then called a brother from a squad beside him to execute the order. The one he sent out happened to be the first to enter Qilizhuang.
Maybe he felt that he would not bother the second master. This squad had already had previous reconnaissance tasks, so it was natural to go in and investigate and there would be no trouble. Therefore, the first battalion commander arranged for the squad to enter the canyon for reconnaissance.
The squad received the order and then led his brothers to run towards the other side of the canyon road with their middle formal rifles. They were always alert to the surroundings, and then walked step by step inside until they disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Time passed by minute by minute, but no one was seen coming out on the canyon, just as the dozen people entering suddenly disappeared, leaving no return.
"Old Yang, they have been there for so long, why haven't they come out yet? Nothing will happen?" The regiment commander raised his left hand, looked at the watch on his wrist, and then asked the Chief of Staff and said.
It has been almost half an hour, and the team that went in to investigate did not come back alone, which really made the leader anxious.
If there was any situation inside, they should have heard gunshots inside outside, but it was quiet inside, and no sound appeared, and no one of the people entering came out, which really made the leader a little anxious. He was always worried about something inside, otherwise how could he not see any shadow after his team entered.
