More than two hours ago.

Zuo Chongju found a backlight position on a ridge and lay down, raised his telescope, and followed the convoy several miles away.

Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang lay on both sides in the same position, closely monitoring the movements of the highway and nearby mountains and forests.

Behind the three, the Nanyang Condolences Group and Xu Enzeng also remained silently on the ground, covering the simple disguise net made of leaves and branches of the military command spies.

"Team leader, you asked the Hancheng Party Committee to drive our car to the border area. Do you want to lure the enemy out? Why don't we go directly to the garrison, let the other party escort or return to Chang'an directly?"

Perhaps because he was bored when he waited, Gui Youguang lowered his voice and asked a question, and when he spoke, he scratched the top of his head, which was itchy with a camouflage hat.

Without this hat, I was afraid that the enemy would see reflections hundreds of meters away. I don’t know if someone was exposed because of this during the Huangpu Eastern Expedition.

However, compared to the itchy head, Gui Youguang was more concerned about his actions. Yesterday, he noticed that the whereabouts of the convoy were leaked, so Zuo Chong asked him to drive to the residence of the director of the Hancheng Party Committee.

After meeting the Party Director, Zuo Chong used the excuse of going to Gaowan Town to pick up people and ordered the other party to take people to drive the vehicle to Gaowan Town early this morning.

What's the point of doing this?

Instead of fishing, it is better to ask the local garrison and ask the military to escort them to the border area. It is better to bring a few more cannons. He doesn't believe that anyone dares to attack the fully armed regular army.

Zuo Chong ignored this guy and continued to observe the cars on the road. With Da Guang's wisdom, it was difficult to understand his plan. Instead, Wu Chunyang answered Gui Youguang's question.

"How do you know if the local garrison has been infiltrated, the enemy hidden in the dark is the most terrifying, here we cannot trust anyone.

It is also unsafe to return secretly. What should you do if there are assassins along the way? The enemy will not be unable to consider this. For the sake of the present, the only way is to move forward."

"So that's it, then..."

"Stop talking, there is a situation."

Gui Youguang was about to speak when Zuo Chong whispered. He quickly lowered his head and raised his telescope to look at the road.

The convoy driving at high speed in the distance was blocked by a sudden fall of tree. The drivers stepped on the brakes one after another, and the distance between the vehicles, which was originally maintained at about 50 meters, was instantly pulled closer.

The next second, the unique Czech gunshots sounded halfway up the mountain on both sides of the road. The cross firepower formed by two flames swept across the convoy, and the Hancheng Party members on the car were killed and injured.

After firing a shuttle of machine gun bullets, more than a dozen attackers in Northwest military uniforms crawled out of the woods and covered each other with combat formations to surround the convoy, and the automatic firearms in their hands opened fire from time to time.

It can be seen that the tactical movements of these people are very standard and their marksmanship is also very accurate. It took less than two minutes to completely control the situation.

This scene made Mr. Chen stunned, and then turned his head and stared at Xu Enzeng. After blocking the road and complaining, he naturally felt that this was another frame-up trick of the Fruit Party.

Seeing this, Xu Enzeng shook his head quickly. He didn't dare to attack the Nanyang Condolences Group without saying that he would not dare to attack the Nanyang Condolences Group. Even if he dared, the personnel of the Central Commission for Operations did not have such professional qualities.

On the other hand, after the attackers controlled the scene, someone took out photos and compared them with the prisoners one by one.

After a few minutes, the other party took out a pistol and thumped it a few times, and executed the party director and his men who bullied men and women in Pingshiyuzu Village.

Speaking of which, this director is also an old reactionary expert. His hands are covered with the blood of the people and he acts very domineeringly.

But when he saw the "Team Leader Xu" in the attendant's room, the other party seemed to see his owner's dog, and he was so active that he took people to drive on the road before dawn.

His eyes turned back to the scene, after dealing with the prisoners, an attacker walked to his companion, picked up some equipment behind the person and said something, and then led the team to retreat to the west.

"Steptember!"

Zuo Chong gently spit out three words. He didn't expect to see this thing in the northwest. Most people probably haven't heard it before, let alone use it.

In later film and television dramas, especially in anti-Japanese war dramas, walkie-talkies seemed very common. The Guo army, the Japanese army and even the grassroots troops of the underground party were all equipped, which is completely nonsense.

At the beginning of the year, the Military Intelligence Bureau's technical department imported two newly-formed SCR-536 step-phones from the United States for research, which cost a full $5,000!

In order to raise this funding, the replica yen printing press was almost transferred out of Mars, and it was difficult to collect enough yen for exchange for US dollars.

But I have to say that this thing is really useful and can keep the two teams in real-time calls, but the communication distance is relatively short, with a maximum of 5 kilometers in the original area and about 3 kilometers in the mountains.

This shows that the attacker must have accomplices nearby. With such a powerful weapon, all routes from Hancheng to the border area may be blocked by the other party.

Even further away, they are under the surveillance of the enemy, and they are waiting for them to fall into the trap. It's a problem!

Looking at the attacker who disappeared into the dense forest, Zuo Chong thought for a moment and turned to look east. Walking along this direction for dozens of miles was Shichuan Du, and the other side was the territory of the Japanese.

Maybe they are going to take a risk.

…………………………

Shibashikawadu.

Located west of the Yellow River, to the north is a canyon with mountains and roads, and to the south is a vast Pingyuan. It has been a transportation hub from the northwest to North China since ancient times.

Even during the war, the road leading to the ferry was full of traffic. Mule carts transported rice and fat grain, Guanzhong's coarse cloth, and salt from Jinghai to Jin Province and even the entire North China.

In order to take time out the supplies in the National Government and reduce the supply of the Fruit Army, the Japanese on the east coast were happy to see it and open the door to convenience.

As long as the caravan pays the tax and gives enough benefits, the Japanese troops on the dock are too lazy to search and let them go.

This is not because the Japanese underestimate the enemy, but because the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Guo Army are "reassuring". In comparison, the dock at the border between the Japanese-occupied area and the border area is much more vigilant.

After the attackers retreated, Zuo Zhong and his group of condolences changed into cloth shoes, walked east along the mountain road for more than half a day, and arrived in a valley several kilometers away from the Shichuan Ferry.

Mr. Chen and others were a little surprised at the endless stream of chariots and horses on the road below. They did not expect that the front-line business exchanges were so developed.

"Captain Xu, has the government reached an agreement with the Japanese? Is there any mutual communication between the two sides?"

Seeing more than a dozen mule carriages walking away, Mr. Chen couldn't help it and asked Zuo Chong in a low voice, with a calm expression on his face.

As a businessman, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. If he could exchange some unimportant commodities for the materials urgently needed in the War of Resistance, it would be a good deal.

"this......"

Zuo Chong didn't know how to answer. Could it be that the leaders of the Second War Zone also joined these businesses and reselled military rations and even weapons and equipment to the Japanese-occupied area?

In fact, not only Shaanxi Province, but also wherever there is a border with the Japanese-occupied area, similar behaviors have always been happening, and it is becoming increasingly fierce.

After all, going private is the talented skill of the officers of the Guojun Army. There are not many people in the army who don’t do it. They arrest those who don’t do it. Nine out of ten are underground parties.

After hesitating for a long time, Zuo Chong said vaguely that this was done by local officials, so he found a reason to walk away and called Wu Chunyang aside.

"Where is there a suitable caravan? We have to borrow a piece of skin to go to the other side and walk north to Yanchang County, where we cross the river and then to the bandit's nest, otherwise we may not be able to get out of it.

You have also seen the situation just now. Those people are definitely elite. They are wearing military uniforms from the northwest and have walkie-talkies, so they can accurately grasp the itinerary of the condolence group.

There must be an opponent's spy in the mountain city, the second war zone or bandit nest. The route agreed upon before cannot be used anymore and must break out of the enemy's encirclement."

This is what Zuo Chong thought of after seeing the attacker - from the Japanese-occupied area to the border area.

Regardless of whether the people in the ambush convoy were Japanese or not, the other party would never have expected that they would do this.

As long as they move quickly and conceal enough, they will have arrived at the border area station long ago when the other party reacts.

Wu Chunyang thought for a few seconds, and countless information flashed through his mind at high speed, and finally stopped on a document, and he immediately gave a positive answer.

"Yes, the intelligence collected by the bureau shows that a caravan of a division commander in the Second War Zone will transport a batch of equipment to be raised and sold to the Japanese every month.

If nothing unexpected happens, the caravan will pass by here in another 5 hours, cross the river and head north to Daning. The other side of Daning is Yanchang County.

The time and route are right. If everything goes well, we will be able to have breakfast at the bandit’s nest tomorrow morning, and the attackers have no time to stop them.

What is even more beneficial is that the Chief of Military Control Commissioner, who is in charge of the convoy, and his spouse's family are in the mountain city, can use this to threaten the other party and let him cooperate with the action.

Mr. Chen and the others can pretend to be the accountant and the manager, as long as they don’t speak and show their Nanyang accent, and we can pretend to be the chauffeurs and guards.”

The caravan that transports equipment and supplies is good.

After considering it, Zuo Chong agreed to Wu Chunyang's opinion that the weapons he was carrying could be hidden in the goods, and even if the Japanese suddenly checked, they could fool them.

After looking at the time, he ordered everyone to find a place to rest and wait for the arrival of the caravan.

It took less than 5 minutes from selecting a goal to determining the action plan. The whole process seemed simple, but it was based on a large amount of intelligence.

Without sufficient and accurate information and Wu Chunyang's familiarity with the local situation, it would be impossible to be so easy.

While everyone was resting, Zuo Chong, Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang further improved the steps of the action to minimize the possibility of exposure.

The sun sets westward, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road.

Caravans doing serious business will not choose to travel at night. The local bandits in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces are not vegetarians, and no one wants to spend the night in the wild, so the risk is too high.

But the night is the best cover for those who walk. Shortly after the night falls, a huge convoy of mules and horses slowly arrives on torches, and the noise of people and horses is endless.

"Here you come."

Wu Chunyang stood at the edge of the valley, and with the light of the torch, he quickly found a target in the convoy, turned to Zuo Chong beside him and said.

Zuo Chong looked at the team below like a long dragon, nodded slightly, and then gave another reminder.

"Well, take a few brothers here, be careful and make the Chief of the Military Control Commission be honest, otherwise his family's 25-year-old will be in danger."

Those who dare to sell weapons and equipment to Japanese people can be anything good, and threaten such a bastard, have no psychological barriers.

Wu Chunyang led his men out of the valley. Gui Youguang and other spies took out their weapons to occupy the favorable terrain and were ready to exchange fire with the caravan's guards at any time.

If the target doesn't care about the lives of the whole family and wants to go all the way, they will have to talk to each other with bullets.

However, the Military Chief of the Leader of the Team was obviously not the kind of person who wanted money but was not alive. After chatting with Wu Chunyang who was blocking the road, especially after seeing the Military Control Commission's ID, he knelt on the spot.

"Sir, I will cooperate, I will definitely cooperate. Please let the whole family of Beizhi go."

For these private prisoners with military backgrounds, the Military Commission has more deterrence than the Military Law Department.

The Military Law Department needs to find evidence to investigate the case, and everything needs to be discussed, but the Military Law Commission only needs a list of people to arrest and shoot them. It is really a murder.

As for killing people to silence the silence, the Military Chief didn't even think about it. There were so many people in the caravan and it was impossible to keep it secret. Once the matter was leaked, it would be called a place where death would be without a burial.

The other party's reaction was completely in Wu Chunyang's expectations. He immediately released a trace of kindness, saying that as long as he cooperated with the action, he would not blame the past.

Going private, in other words, can also destroy the financial order of the enemy-occupied areas. Not only does it have no mistakes, it has made contributions.

With both soft and hard work, the Military Chief hurriedly drove away all the entourage. Seeing this, Zuo Chong went down the mountain to take over the caravan. The convoy started again and continued to move towards Shichuan Du.
Chapter completed!
