Chapter 26: There are bandits
The energy of the "Fuxing Society" secret service was huge. The next morning, I received news that a truckload of rescue supplies sent from Jiangcheng arrived at Yiyang Station.
Chen Yu led Luo Yao and others who had been resting all night to drive over in an empty carriage.
Clothing, quilts, tents, and most important medicines for keeping warm...
Three large cars were loaded.
Except for the seriously injured staying in the county hospital, the rest of the people did not stop for a moment and escorted supplies were on the road. They had to rush back as soon as possible.
The team ran out of food last night. Even if they were going out to buy food with money, they would be difficult to buy food. They didn’t even care about the nearby disaster-stricken villages.
When I came, I walked for a whole day, and when I went back, it was probably the same, and it took time to unload supplies at the train station.
Even if I return on the same route, I will probably not be able to return to the temple until evening.
It's OK during the day.
When it was dark, not only could it be difficult to identify the road and direction, but the more you walked into the mountains, the less peaceful the road was. The bandits in western Hunan were full of many years. Although the area they were walking on was on the edge of detail, it was often disturbed by bandits, especially those who could not survive after the disaster went straight up the mountain and became bandits.
Therefore, there are endless bandits in western Hunan.
The common people suffered disaster, and the bandits in the mountains were not having a good life. They were so swaggering that they had already become a fat sheep in the eyes of others.
This is also the reason why Chen Yu had to bring a guard to lie over. When they came, they had nothing, and even if the bandits saw them, they would not provoke them.
A well-equipped regular military platoon is far stronger than that of ordinary bandits and bandits. In addition, they don’t bring any supplies and are head-on, so they can be fools.
But when they went back, they were carrying a lot of supplies, which was different in the eyes of these desperadoes. These supplies were a huge amount of wealth, and people died for money and birds died for food.
There are many people who take risks for wealth.
Luo Yao could have thought of these things, how could Chen Yu, as the leader, not imagined them? So when he went back, he did not take the original path, but took another path.
The Yiyang Group members have already found out clearly in the first half of this road, which is safe, but the second half of the road has penetrated into the mountains, so it is hard to say.
Moreover, the past path cannot be taken now, so we can only arrange people to conduct reconnaissance. Only after confirming safety will the team and materials continue to move forward.
This is very safe, but the speed of travel is inevitably delayed.
Chen Yu was also very anxious, but it would not solve the problem. Once he was impatient and aggressive, he would probably put all the rescue supplies he brought in.
By that time, Wang Yueqing and others who were waiting for help in the deserted temple would be in trouble.
There is no food, no clothes to keep warm, and there are so many minor wounded people. On such a cold night, people will be frozen to death.
"Luo Yao, if there is any danger ahead, can you hear it in advance?" Chen Yu called Luo Yao over and asked at the beginning.
Luo Yao was stunned, and immediately, he understood why Chen Yu followed the group to choose him. He valued his ability to predict the outbreak of "mountain torrents".
Of course, he may have misunderstood that he did not have this kind of predictive ability, but that his hearing is beyond normal people and listens far, and he calculates the arrival time based on the speed of the mountain torrent and warns in advance.
This is not the sixth sense, or superpower.
Chen Yu was a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment.
"Instructor Chen, I can discover mountain torrents and mudslides. In fact, it is not that I have any superpowers that I predict. It is because my ears can hear movements from far away, so..." Luo Yao felt it necessary to explain it clearly to Chen Yu, so as not to have all kinds of unnecessary troubles in the future.
Of course, he could not tell the other party about his hearing that was different from ordinary people without reservation, so that he could become a sliced mouse.
He himself can't explain this ability clearly.
"How far can you listen?" Chen Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't believe that Luo Yao had any supernatural abilities, but if he had extraordinary hearing, he would be able to explain it.
"It should be no problem for two or three miles." Luo Yao thought for a while, but still reserved.
"Let's go, let's go, Platoon Leader Xu!" Chen Yu heard this and pulled Luo Yao directly and walked in front of the team.
"arrive!"
"You lead a class to go out a hundred meters to investigate and advance. Your mission is to protect the safety of Luo Yao's student. He said he would go as he could, but he heard it!" Chen Yu ordered.
"Yes, Chief Chen." As the saying goes, the first level of the official position is to crush people to death. Platoon Commander Xu is only a small lieutenant. Chen Yu is a lieutenant colonel, and he is several levels away. Do you dare not listen to his words?
Besides, he knew that the night before yesterday, if Luo Yao had not given the warning in advance, many people would have to be buried in the mountain torrent and mudslides.
The speed of progress begins to accelerate.
Luo Yao knew that it was not the time to hide his weaknesses. He and this team were now grasshoppers on the same rope. The bandits in Xiangxi have always been extremely cruel. Even if they don’t die, they will probably not end up well.
To help Chen Yu, that is to help him.
Although he wasn't sure if he could help, it was his first time to take on this job and it was his first time to do it. If something went wrong, the entire team might be over.
Platoon Commander Xu is a veteran who has fought the Battle of Songhu and has rich combat experience. Of course, Luo Yao would not miss this rare learning opportunity.
Even if you learn a little bit of fur, it is useful and can be used after protection is accurate.
...
The team was moving forward on the winding mountain road. Suddenly, Luo Yao, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand and made a gesture to Platoon Leader Xu and others behind him.
"stop."
"What's wrong, brother Luo Yao." Xu Pao ran up and asked Luo Yao politely. He knew very well that these students would start higher than him in the future and might even become his commanders. If you have a good relationship now, you may change your destiny in the future.
"There are people in the woods ahead. This is a mountain torrent and mudslide. Ordinary people will not appear here at this time. They should be spies of bandits!" Luo Yao said.
"What should I do? This road is a must. If I go around, I will walk at least two hours more, and it will be too late." Platoon leader Xu said anxiously.
"Their spies have all arrived here, which means they are not far from the ambush place where the bandits are lying. We cannot let them pass the message back." Luo Yao lowered his voice and said, "Planer Xu, you can send someone back to report to Instructor Chen first. We might as well..."
"Okay, just do what you said. These bandits will kill people without blinking. If they meet, they will either die or I will live." After hearing Luo Yao's advice, Platoon Commander Xu nodded frequently.
...
Four hundred meters away, in the woods on the hillside, two people curled up and squatted in the dense grass. It has been four hours since the place they chose. The place they chose can see the road at the foot of the mountain, but it is not easy to be discovered.
If it weren't for the strong wind on the mountain and the cold wind was drilling into their trousers, the crotch would be chilly, which would be really unbearable.
Both of them could fall asleep here.
"Brother, look, someone is here..." The little bandit who stared at the mountain road and didn't dare to blink, suddenly stabbed his companion beside him with his elbow.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Talk?"
The little bandit was anxious. When he turned around, he was stunned. Two black muzzles were pointed at the back of his head, and his fingers were pulled on the trigger.
As long as he has any abnormal movements, he will be ready to go to the underworld to be reincarnated.
And his companions were twisted aside and tied up into rice dumplings, kneeling there "woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-wo
Has been discovered.
...
The bandits had no faith and righteousness at all. They could do anything to survive. Naturally, these two bandit spies did not dare to hide anything they asked or said.
Of course, Luo Yao would not easily believe that there are many treacherous and cunning people among the bandits, and they will not tell their arrangements to their subordinates.
You need to go and see it yourself.
"You said there were nearly a hundred bandits in this group, and they set up an ambush on the hills in front?" Shen Yu was a little surprised when he heard Luo Yao's report.
Luo Yao nodded: "They are lying on the road we must pass. If we detour, it will take at least two hours."
"It's less than two hours since it's dark. If you don't take this road and go around it, it will not only be difficult to walk, but also become even more troublesome once you get lost." Shen Yu looked puzzled.
"Chief Shen, although there are more than 100 bandits, these people are all mobs, and their weapons and equipment are not as good as us. If we can go around behind them and give a sudden attack, we will be able to pass safely, which will save at least an hour." Pai Zhang Chief Xu, "and there is no need to take a detour."
"Platform Commander Xu's suggestion is worth a try. The bandits don't know that we already know where they are. If we suddenly appear behind them and launch a fierce attack, as long as we defeat them in one fell swoop, we will pass this road." Luo Yao echoed.
"Are you sure?" Shen Yu was engaged in an enemy-behind operation. He did not have much experience in this kind of battle, so he was naturally a little unsure.
"Yes!" Pai Zhangmaster Xu said loudly.
"Okay, then go and prepare and set out in five minutes." Shen Yu is not an indecisive person. Since Platoon Leader Xu, who has rich combat experience, has said it, let's take a risk.
"Instructor Shen, I want to participate in the battle!" Luo Yao asked. He finally seized a chance to fight, so how could he miss it?
"You, no, you don't have any combat experience. If you go, you can only platoon leader Xu and others will be distracted to protect you." Shen Yu refused.
"Instructor Shen, I can let Platoon Commander Xu and others approach these bandits silently, and then launch a sudden attack at the most favorable distance. I don't need to attack, just hide behind from a distance." Luo Yao said.
"Are you sure?"
"It really doesn't work. Let Mancang and Liu Jinbao follow me. They both have certain combat experience. If they don't participate in the battle, can they protect me?" Luo Yao said again.
Chapter completed!
