Chapter 387 I'm not too timid!
In the era of chaos, walking is also an extremely dangerous thing for many people who go to foreign lands. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people will not easily walk out of areas they are not familiar with and understand at all.
Only some vendors who travel around the world often hire people to sell goods at a higher price. If the hired personnel are not strong, these vendors may also lose both their money and goods.
It is indeed a relatively dangerous thing to walk in other places these days. We have to worry about bandits who are local tyrants, and we have to worry about the possible chaos at any time. Under normal circumstances, no one will run to places where war is fought.
Chuzhou, where the task force arrived this time, was just occupied by the Japanese. The roads that were crowded and crowded earlier have rarely passed by recently. It is normal for Xu Sandao and his party to attract attention.
For Xu Sandao, he has walked countless times in marching like this. He has encountered bandits who want to rob, and also encountered Japanese patrols whom he suddenly encountered unexpectedly. In general, reconnaissance and exploration are also a very dangerous task.
After controlling the two stalkers, Xu Sandao dragged the person directly to a hill next to the road. Looking at Xu Sandao with a cold expression, the expressions of the two stalkers were somewhat worried, fearing that the group of people would execute them.
"Speak your true identities, maybe I will give you a chance to survive. If you think you must keep your identity confidential, rather than telling it. Then for the sake of safety, I can only execute you on the spot and choose one!"
"Who are you? Judging from your appearance, you shouldn't be a businessman? Are you a spy?"
Listening to one of the young men's inquiry, Xu Sandao said calmly: "It seems that you don't understand what your situation is right now. At this time, you are still inquiring about my identity. Are you really not afraid of death?"
While talking, Xu Sandao pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet. Looking at the dark muzzle, another young man with a little courage hurriedly said, "We are intelligence officers of the Chuzhou Anti-Japanese Guerrillas. Are you also fighting against Japanese devils?"
"Who said we were the anti-Japanese and Japanese devils? You were right, we were spies! Unexpectedly, we caught two small fish as soon as we came to Chuzhou. Now tell me, where is your base? Tell me, let you live!"
As Xu Sandao smiled and said this, another young man immediately said with a fierce look: "Lacking dog! I want me to betray the army, don't think so! If you have the guts, kill me! Anyway, eighteen years later, my grandfather is another hero! Ah!"
Just as the young man was scolding, the team member who controlled him punched him: "Just with this three-legged cat, he dares to follow us. I will be the grandpa in front of us. Are you a kid who is the onion?"
When you go out, be careful in everything. For those who are reconnaissance team members such as Xu Sandao, they must ensure the true identity of the stalker in order to make appropriate decisions. Imitating a spy is also to further verify the identity of the other party.
If these two people were really guerrilla intelligence officers, then Xu Sandao would spare their lives in the end. On the contrary, if their identities were impersonations and were plainclothes spies who monitored the local Japanese for the Japanese, then Xu Sandao would kill them.
After giving the two some lessons, they would rather die than reveal the guerrillas. Thinking of their mission, Xu Sandao also said directly: "Leave the person to the captain of the detachment and report the situation!"
"Yes, captain!"
After covering the two stalkers, Xu Sandao left behind several team members and continued to lead the rest of the team members to explore the way forward. Such emergencies can often be encountered on the marching road, and Xu Sandao must also deal with them decisively.
Fortunately, Xu Sandao was glad that the Japanese army did not set up any checkpoints for this highway leading to Chuzhou City. However, the target that the task force was to reach was Hefei City, not far from Chuzhou City.
As the capital of Anhui Province, Hefei City was captured by the Japanese army shortly after the end of the Battle of Xuzhou. When the city was captured, the Japanese army also hoped to use it as a supply base and accumulate transportation materials for the main forces on the Wuhan front line to fight.
According to the information Hu Biao learned earlier, there were also armed forces behind the enemy in Chuzhou. But he did not expect that not long after entering Chuzhou, the intelligence officers of the New Fourth Army actually targeted Xu Sandao and his party and dared to follow him.
Looking at the two spies sent over, Hu Biao smiled and said, "It seems that the New Fourth Army's surveillance of the highway outside the city is more tighter than we imagined. When marching tonight, we warn the team members to cheer up and beware of attacks!"
"Captain, are you saying that the New Fourth Army may ambush us?"
"This possibility is not ruled out! Now that their spies are arrested, they should alarm their commander. If they don't understand the identities of Sandao people, their commander will probably be unwilling to give up. If they ambush, it is possible!"
"clear!"
The two New Fourth Army intelligence officers who were blindfolded and sent to Xu Sandao's side did not understand why these so-called "spy agents" did not shoot them. Instead, they blinded their eyes and kept them in the valley next to the highway.
When the night fell, the two could vaguely hear footsteps coming from around them. They were nervous and soon heard someone say, "Is it they followed us? Can you confirm that they are really secret spies of the New Fourth Army?"
"It's certain! It's just that the two of them were a little hard and they couldn't find too much useful information!"
"Forget it! We are just passing here, there is no need to cause trouble. These two guys will be locked up for one night and released tomorrow!"
"yes!"
Listening to the sound coming from his ears, the two blindfolded intelligence officers were confused at this moment, not understanding what this group of people was doing. Logically speaking, shouldn’t the spies who worked hard for the Japanese be sent to receive a reward when they caught them?
"San brother, what are these people doing?"
"Don't talk! The spies are all insidious and cunning, so we must not be fooled. This may be their bait!"
Because the two were tied up and were always blinded, they didn't know what was going on around them. The only thing they could perceive was to listen to the sound with their ears. Before they escaped, they had to keep the secret.
Although they have not joined the New Fourth Army for a long time, most soldiers qualified to become intelligence officers are trusted by the organization. Many soldiers who are in charge of intelligence reconnaissance work actually know the consequences after being arrested.
For Hu Biao, Chuzhou is just a stop for this trip. The real place for the task force to go is located in the area bordering the three provinces. According to the information Hu Biao has, the situation in the areas bordering the three provinces is even more complicated.
The more complicated the place is, the more beneficial it is to Hu Biao and the task force. As long as there are Japanese troops, Hu Biao will not worry about not finding opportunities to fight. If possible, he will destroy the transportation supply line from Anhui Province to Wuhan as much as possible.
The Huainan Railway has been destroyed in advance, and the Japanese army occupied and advanced along the railway are also stepping up the repair of the damaged railway. The Japanese division, which relies heavily on material supply, also needs more convenient and faster supply methods.
As for the spoils seized from the occupied areas, in addition to a small amount of food that can be supplied to the troops, many of the seized weapons and ammunition were handed over to the defending troops, and these weapons and ammunition were distributed to the newly formed Imperial Army.
Most of the ammunition consumption required for the Japanese division to fight requires supply and transportation from the rear. At the moment, fierce fighting on the front line is in full swing, and the Japanese also know the importance of logistics supply. All the defending troops are working hard to ensure the safety of the material convoy.
Most of the anti-Japanese armed forces in the occupied areas of Chuzhou are not very strong. Many times, when the Japanese army dispatched heavy troops to escort supplies, these anti-Japanese armed forces could only stare at me and could not find a good way to carry out destruction.
What surprised Hu Biao was that when he led the task force to pass through the area where Xu Sandao reconnaissed in advance, the reconnaissance team members who were staying on guard quickly heard news. On the section of the road ahead, an armed force of more than 100 people suddenly appeared.
Listening to the report of the scout team members, Hu Biao also said unexpectedly: "It seems that this time, it's impossible not to deal with them! Can you confirm that they are guerrillas of the New Fourth Army?"
"The distance is a bit far, and it's not clear! However, judging from their weapons, equipment and clothing, it should be the New Fourth Army. It's just a bit strange that why did this guerrilla ambush on the road ahead?"
"It's coming specifically for us? It should be unlikely! Tianyou, order the troops to prepare for battle, lurk nearby and see the situation first. Send a reconnaissance team, and I need to know what is going on around me."
"Yes, captain!"
From the marching state to the war state, Hu Biao and his sniper team arrived at the section of the road ambushed by the New Fourth Army guerrillas. Seeing that there was a not-so-wide road next to it, Hu Biao also asked about the situation directly.
When Hu Biao learned that the not-so-wide highway was also a road to a county town, he felt that the New Fourth Army guerrillas set up an ambush here overnight. Could it be to ambush the puppet or Japanese troops that might have passed by here?
He sent a reconnaissance personnel to search and reconnaissance near the highway. Hu Biao also brought two New Fourth Army scouts who had caught. The first sentence he met scared the two scouts.
"The mission of you two should be sent to the highway to reconnaissance in advance, right? If I guess correctly, there should be a supply convoy at this fork in the road tonight. With this little manpower, I dare to pay attention to the supply convoy, and I am very brave!"
"I don't understand what you are talking about!"
Even though the two scouts refused to say anything, their expressions had already shown some problems. Thinking that this possibility existed, Hu Biao immediately asked the two combat companies to separate and control the lurking guerrillas' left and right wings.
Since he encountered it, he could not even see Hu Biao. A team of more than 100 people dared to set up an ambush on the road, and he was really brave. Hu Biao also wanted to see what kind of convoy it was, and he was going to rush around overnight?
