Chapter 91 How to Ambush Your Large Force
“Being targeted?
who?
Devils or puppet troops?
how many people?"
When Zhao Gang heard what was happening, he immediately felt a shock all over his body. His waist and legs no longer felt sore, and he had more energy to walk.
“They are cavalry, about a platoon of puppet cavalry, they should be the vanguard.
At present, we have only seen the enemy’s outposts, but no large forces.
The other party stopped from time to time and checked the ground. They must have followed our marching route.
We didn't see this group of cavalry when we passed by, so they must have caught up with us because of their fast speed."
There's nothing you can do about it. The roads in the mountains that are often walked on are different from the roads that no one walks on.
No one has walked on the road on the mountain for two months, so you might not even realize it is a road.
But if no one has walked on the road in the mountains for two or three months, and suddenly hundreds of people walk on it, the traces will be very obvious.
No matter how you cover it up, you can still see it clearly.
I believe that even anyone who has only learned a little bit of trait learning can see this.
Forget it, let me just say it straight. Even people who haven’t studied traceology can see it.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that no one walked around for a month or two, but there weren’t so many people walking in a line in the mountains. That would be a march, so there would definitely be traces.
"Ma Laosi, did you see it? How many people have walked here?"
One of the cavalrymen in the platoon dismounted to check the traces on the ground, and he did this no less than three times.
The person who spoke was the platoon leader of their cavalry platoon, Ma Laosi, who dismounted to check the footprints.
Ma Laosi was a hunter in his past and was very knowledgeable about the traces of prey. Later, he became a soldier and had a lot of experience in reconnaissance.
Later, the commander joined the Japanese army and became a member of the National Protection Army. His skills in this area were very useful.
Usually, he would chase a guerrilla unit or a grain transport team of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army. He would make many contributions, receive many rewards, and live a comfortable life.
His ability to identify traces allows him to infer who was there, how many people there were, and how long it had been, based on the traces on the ground.
“Platoon leader, this group of people definitely has more than 100 people, but no more than 200, because their marching route is only one line, and it is very narrow.
It couldn't have been more than an hour since they had been there, and the mud that had been turned up still had a strong earthy smell.
But platoon leader, they don’t have a car, they are not fat sheep! "
The platoon leader rode up on his horse, raised his whip and pretended to hit him: "We are on a business trip for the imperial army now, not robbing fat sheep in Wanjia Town. Check carefully, who are these people?"
Ma Laosi stood up and clapped his hands: "The Eighth Route Army, the regular army.
They are not guerrillas. Guerrillas usually have no more than a hundred people.
It's not the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army either. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would not march so briskly, and there are no signs of any Shanxi-Suiyuan Army activity nearby.
It is even less likely to be the Central Army. The one or two hundred people of the Central Army would not dare to hang around here.
Therefore, this can only be the Eighth Route Army and the main force.
I am sure that I was wrong just now. This line of walking traces did not belong to less than 200 people. They might have marched in a very orderly manner and would not leave any traces outside the marching line.
Therefore, based on the inferences we made from the guerrillas and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army’s previous movements, this is absolutely wrong.
Moreover, I walked around the area and found traces of search teams on both sides of the road, all lined up about 500m away.
Apart from the Eighth Route Army and the Imperial Army, no other troops would do this.
Platoon leader, run!
Maybe they are watching us in the dark. We have horses and can run fast!"
He leaned in closer and spoke the last two sentences in a low voice.
His platoon leader said in a very empty voice: "No need to run now..."
Then he dismounted, knelt, and raised his gun with both hands.
Dozens of cavalrymen dismounted, knelt on the ground and raised their guns with extremely skillful movements.
At this point, Ma Laosi had no idea what was going on, so he simply knelt on the ground and raised his carbine high.
People really came out from all directions, and the weapons in their hands were scary enough to make people scared.
There were at least seventy or eighty light machine guns and almost a hundred Czech light machine guns.
Two heavy machine guns, one in front and one behind, are you kidding?
And what are you fiddling with the gun barrel for?
We only have a platoon of more than 30 people. Is it necessary to spend so much effort to use artillery to bombard them?
They are not the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army did not have collar badges on their collars, but these people do. Although they are wearing the same style of military uniform, it is obvious that they are not the Eighth Route Army.
A man who looked like an officer with two obvious stripes on his collar stood in the middle of the field. He ignored those who were kneeling on the ground with guns in hand and just stood there cursing.
"Class 51, your stealth combat training failed. How do you train normally?
Why do you go wrong when it comes to real combat? Aren't you the top students in your original unit?
It was just a stealth move with a heavy machine gun! He couldn't even do it quietly, and was actually discovered by a puppet soldier. What a shame!
Go back to school and train 100 times more! "
The cavalry platoon leader didn't see anyone pointing a gun at him, but he didn't dare to move. Even with a gun in his hand, he didn't dare to make the slightest unnecessary movement.
He is afraid of misunderstanding!
He could feel many murderous gazes passing over him.
As a man who has spent most of his life in the military, he has an extraordinary intuition about danger.
If it happened to someone else, they would definitely think it was their own illusion.
But he has survived to this day thanks to this talent for sensing danger.
He actually didn't see anyone just now. He just felt a deadly danger in that direction, and then he knelt down from the bottom of his heart.
The soldiers in his team all knew that their boss had such a talent, including his superiors, so they sent him to lead this reconnaissance platoon.
So when he knelt down like this, all his soldiers knelt down too. Those who were in ambush thought they had been discovered, so they stood up.
The officer was still cursing: "Now we've been discovered. How can we ambush their large army?"
The cavalry platoon leader heard footsteps slowly approaching him, and looked up in horror. It was the officer.
The official's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at him, as if two knives were cutting at him.
The officer stared at him for a while before asking, "Can you tell me which unit you are from? How many people are there in the main force?"
Most importantly, how can we ambush your large force?"
The cavalry platoon leader hadn't made a move yet, and Ma Laosi was anxious to speak: "Sir..."
Who knew that the official would give him a cold look and ask, "Did I ask you to speak?"
Ma Laosi was instantly speechless.
Then he asked the cavalry platoon leader : "Tell me, your answer!"
The thirty-odd people kneeling on the ground heard a cold and cruel voice (imagining it, this is definitely the imagination of extreme fear, Liu Qiang crying out for injustice).
The cavalry platoon leader collapsed instantly: "I'll tell you..."
