Chapter 340

People are not afraid of poverty, but they are afraid of comparison. The Japanese army here can only eat snow and drink from the northwest wind, but across the river, the Peiping army eats hot and spicy food all day long. This makes anyone who sees it feel unbalanced. But dogs can be anxious. Jump over the wall, people are hungry and can do anything for a bite to eat.

No, with the cooperation of Taai Kikujiro, Noshiro and others, a team of more than twenty desperadoes crossing the river was quickly pulled out. Even though there were only a few dozen people, it was enough to lay an ambush. Tian Jing and others sneaked across the Yalu River in the dark, lurking in the mountains and forests near the border guard station, waiting for the arrival of the supply team.

In fact, there is only one company of troops in this border guard station. It stands to reason that one supply is enough to feed these dozens of people for ten days and a half. There is no need to send food, meat and wine here every two days. If there are some scheming people , you can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with this, but the twenty or so Japanese soldiers are like hungry wolves, and they no longer think about this in their minds.

In the first month of the year in Liaodong, it was much colder than that in North Korea. There was snow everywhere in the mountains and forests, and the wild animals had long disappeared. Tian Jing and others walked hard through the mountains and forests. After spending a day, they finally recovered what was left on the snow. The route of the Peking Army's supply team was found in the traces.

In this ice and snow, carriages cannot move on the road, and the only way to travel and transport supplies is by sleigh. It has been cold and cold for several days, and there has been no snow, so the traces of the sled passing by are still very clear. Tian Jing and others have analyzed After looking at the traces on the ground, we came to the conclusion that the sled was carrying at least a thousand kilograms of stuff, and judging from the traces, there was more than one sleigh going and going, maybe as many as five.

When they thought that five sleds loaded with grain, meat and wine would pass by, Tian Jing and others' eyes gleamed like hungry wolves, and they immediately set up arrangements on the roadside, preparing to ambush and grab food. But what they didn't know was that since the attack From the moment they crossed the river, they were already exposed. Several pairs of eyes were staring at them closely from the distant hills.

In fact, the reason why Tian Jing and others were exposed was because the Peking Army had already laid out early warning lines along the Yalu River. Three early warning lines were set up along the dozens of kilometers long riverside. As long as someone encountered these lines that were not placed in the grass, they would be exposed. The eye-catching gray line will trigger the mechanism and issue an early warning to the scouts stationed nearby. No matter how careful the enemy is, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Although these twenty-odd Japanese soldiers were exposed under the eyes of the Peking Army, the Peking Army did not launch an encirclement and suppression campaign because what the Peking Army wanted was not these twenty-odd small miscellaneous fish, but to catch bigger fish. Therefore, only the scouts were watching from a distance along the route, and the border guards did not take any action.

No, on the top of a mountain a few hundred meters away from Tianjing and others' hiding place, there were two men in snow-white clothes lying motionless on the snow, holding binoculars in their hands, observing all the time. And just At this time, several more people crawled up the mountain and came to them.

"How? What's the news?" One person whispered in another person's ear.

"There is no movement, the mantis is waiting for the cicada to appear."

"The superiors said that the cicada will pass by this place at noon today, so let's keep a close eye on it."

"There are dozens of people lying in wait around here, so nothing can go wrong."

It is said that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows. The mantis naturally refers to the Japanese army, while the cicada represents the military transport team, and the oriole naturally refers to the Peking Army.

"The general staff has instructed not to close the net this time, but to let the mantis go."

"Let them go? Why let them go?" a scout asked in confusion.

"If you want to catch big fish, you have to put a long line." The visitor whispered, "You only need to be responsible for protecting the safety of the food transporters. Don't worry about the rest, and try not to be exposed."

"Understood, I promise to complete the combat mission."

It was well arranged here, and at noon, a transport team passed by. The five sleds pulled by horses were filled with large and small bags of military supplies. There were only five people on horseback escorting the military supplies. The people who were ambushing beside the road When Tian Jing and others saw it, they were immediately overjoyed: God is really helping me.

"Come on!" Tian Jing gave the order, and the Japanese soldiers who were ambushing all around rushed out and directly surrounded the transport team.

"No, there is an ambush! Protect the rations." As soon as the personnel escorting the munitions saw the sudden appearance of the Japanese soldiers, they immediately formed a battle circle and showed off their weapons.

The Japanese soldiers were experienced in battles for a long time. They did not swarm forward directly, but kept firing cold arrows. Facing the cold arrows flying everywhere, the five food guards became a little panicked. The leader of the team swept away the oncoming arrows with a sword. He shot a cold arrow and shouted: "No, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. Let's break through!"

The captain gave the order, and the other four men also pulled the reins of their horses, formed a cavalry squad with the captain, and rushed in a direction where the defense was weak. There were only five Japanese soldiers in that direction. When they saw the cavalry squad charging towards them, He was busy shooting arrows, trying to hurt the opponent's horses to block them.

However, the cavalry squad came too fast, and the bows and arrows used by the Japanese soldiers were really poor. The arrows they shot were soft and could not penetrate the chain armor on the horses. As soon as the cavalry squad rushed to their side, He slashed with his troops and cut down the two Japanese soldiers blocking the road. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Japanese soldiers around him immediately ran over to support them. However, the cavalry team was not eager to fight. As soon as they broke out of the encirclement, they left through the snow.

"Stop chasing, we can't catch up." Tian Jing shouted, calling out to his accomplices who were about to run after him, "Those people must have gone back to bring reinforcements. Now let's see what good things are on the sled. All Take it with you and walk quickly."

As soon as they heard that they were about to harvest the spoils of war, the twenty or so Japanese soldiers rushed to the five sleighs like hungry wolves. They opened the packages of things on them and saw dry food and dried meat. , just stuffed it into his mouth, as well as the bottled wine, and drank it directly from the bottle, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

But Tian Jing was calm. He knew that the Peking Army would arrive soon, so he walked to the two wounded soldiers in a few steps, stabbed them one at a time, and then ordered to his friends: "Don't worry. Keep eating and carry everything you can eat on your back, we will move immediately."

The so-called transfer did not actually mean crossing the river back to the military camp on the opposite side, but going into the mountains and forests. These Japanese soldiers knew that since they had become deserters, they would definitely be executed when they returned. Therefore, they could only continue to be thieves in Liaodong. Robbery.
