Chapter 259: Plain Message
Chapter 259: Plain Message
"They were riding war horses, and I..."
Xiao Ma wanted to say something, but Yuan Shuai interrupted him and asked.
"Did they have a radio?"
"Bring the radio!"
"Signalman, send a clear message immediately, there is an ambush!"
"Yes!"
The signalman quickly sent the message using plain text.
Fang Yongqing's communications soldier received the telegram and quickly reported to Fang Yongqing.
"There's an ambush?! Everyone stop moving forward!"
Fang Yongqing frowned when he saw the telegram.
Then his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
"Someone is sending a message in plain text at this time. There must be an ambush ahead! Retreat!"
As a veteran of many battles, he immediately shouted loudly, turned around and ran away.
"Baga, why did they retreat?"
The Japanese captain on the hillside in the distance looked at Fang Yongqing and others retreating quickly, and his teeth were chattering with anger.
But he did not order the firing.
Because Yuan Shuai’s men haven’t arrived yet.
Even if these people retreated, Yuan Shuai should come over. Even if he let these people run away, there would still be a chance to surround Yuan Shuai.
"Report, someone sent a telegram in plain text, saying there is an ambush here!"
The Japanese signalman quickly ran over to report.
"Baga! It must be Yuan Shuai, Baga, fire, fire, kill them all!"
At this time, the Japanese captain had no time to wait for Yuan Shuai.
He also guessed that the person who invented the coded message must be someone from Yuan Shuai's side.
If we don't open fire now, let alone encircle and annihilate General Yuan, I'm afraid it will be too late to even encircle and annihilate Fang Yongqing and his men.
Because Fang Yongqing had just entered the entrance of their encirclement.
The order was given, and light and heavy machine gun bullets were fired crazily at Fang Yongqing's team.
After a quick adjustment, the infantry guns and mortars launched indiscriminate bombardment at Fang Yongqing's troops.
For a time, Fang Yongqing's team suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, they were all riding war horses.
Faced with such fierce bullets and artillery shells, they had no time to rescue the wounded and could only evacuate quickly on horseback.
"Bagayalu, keep firing the heavy machine guns, infantry artillery, and mortars, and the rest of you chase them!"
The Japanese captain was so angry that he waved his saber and roared loudly.
In the distance, Yuan Shuai heard the sound of gunfire and frowned immediately.
"Boss, there's a fight over there, should we go and rescue them?"
Wu Zhenhua immediately made a suggestion.
"How to support? Once they open fire over there, the Japanese will see that we are not coming over, and they will definitely come quickly to surround us. If we go over now, we will rush into the encirclement. Notify everyone to retreat quickly, retreat, retreat!"
"Old man, Monkey and Fatty haven't come back yet!"
Xiao Xiami reminded immediately.
"Don't worry about them!"
"what!"
"Ah what? The monkey is smarter than Sun Wukong. He knows what to do!"
After saying this, Yuan Shuai ignored him and quickly ordered the team to retreat.
Little Shrimp's face was filled with worry...
At this time, the monkey and the fat man had also heard the sound of gunfire.
The two couldn't help but look at each other.
"Monkey, what's going on over there? Our message must have been delivered. There's no way the boss is going to the Eagle Cave again!"
"Nonsense, it can't be the boss and his team? I think it must be another team. We also received a clear text message before. The boss is definitely not notifying us to retreat, but notifying this unknown team to evacuate!"
"Should we retreat then?"
"If you want to retreat, then retreat. I have to watch over the Japanese field artillery. These are all mine. We can't let them get lost. Twelve field artillery pieces and so many shells. They all belong to me!"
"Pfft!"
The fat man couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
However, after receiving the telegram, the field artillery battalion captain was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Damn it! We are moving again. Do you really think the 75mm field gun is an infantry gun?"
This is a 38-model 75mm field gun, weighing 947 kilograms.
Because of the heavy snow, cars were prone to problems, and the Japanese tanks did not come out because they were worried about a sneak attack by General Yuan, so they could only use mules and horses for towing.
Moreover, on snowy days, they would use two Roma horses to pull a 75-meter carriage.
Another carriage was responsible for carrying the shells.
The 75 gun is easy to tow, just hang the gun support frame on the horse's back.
However, the boxes of shells had to be manually moved onto horse-drawn carriages before they could be transported away.
It's icy and snowy here, and moving the boxes of shells around is uncomfortable for anyone.
Although he was unhappy, he had no choice but to obey the order and arranged for people to move the shell boxes to the carriage...
However, the wheels of the 75mm gun were rolling on the snow on the road, and because of the snow on the road, the marching speed was not very fast.
Sometimes the wheels fell into potholes and sank into the snow, and the Japanese had to push hard.
The angry devils pushed hard and shouted...
Far ahead, when Yuan Shuai was retreating, a ninja hiding in the snow discovered the situation and quickly called his companions to use the radio to notify the Japanese captain behind them.
"What? The Black Wolf Army has also withdrawn. Bakayalu, Bakayalu!"
The Japanese captain roared and quickly divided the troops into three groups.
They continued to pursue Fang Yongqing along the way, while the other two groups made detours to the left and right, advancing quickly in the direction of Yuan Shuai's retreat, hoping to outflank both sides and kill Yuan Shuai's Black Wolf Army.
Halfway through the retreat, Yuan Shuai personally led Hu Dacai's guard squad to cover the rear.
When they reached a hillside, Yuan Shuai immediately changed direction and set up his sniper rifle.
Hu Dacai and others have also set up their sniper rifles.
This is the Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle.
They seized seven last time, two of which were given to Monkey and Fatty, and the other five 7 sniper rifles are with them.
"Boss, are you waiting for the ninja?"
Hu Dacai asked in a low voice while searching through the scope.
"That's right, the ninjas will definitely not give up, they should be right behind us. We must repel these ninjas, otherwise our plan will be exposed and known to the devils!"
"But I didn't see it... it's coming!"
Before Hu Dacai finished speaking, he saw a snow-white figure appear in the sight.
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shuai had already pulled the trigger.
He had already spotted the figure in advance, and the bullet whizzed towards it.
"Bah!"
The bullet flew over 600 meters and hit the ninja. A cloud of blood mist emerged from the ninja's chest and he fell to the ground.
"Bagayalu, there are snipers, hide!"
The other two ninjas were so scared that they quickly hid behind a big tree and dared not move.
Looking at his companion lying on the ground not far away, motionless, with only blood flowing quickly on the snow. In the blink of an eye, the white snow turned red.
The two ninjas were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.
"Baka, over 600 meters, a shot hit the heart, the Black Wolf Army actually has such a powerful sniper!"
"It should be Yuan Shuai, his marksmanship is the best!"
"Don't move, wait for the reinforcements to arrive!"
Neither of the two devils dared to move.
However, Yuan Shuai had already fired in the direction where they were hiding.
Bullets hit the big tree behind them, and snowflakes from the tree kept falling down and landing on them. They didn't dare to move.
Because they already know that they have been targeted.
And they used a Type 97 sniper rifle with a scope.
Probably the seven sniper rifles they lost.
Seven sniper rifles.
There are only two of them here with two sniper rifles. No matter how powerful they are, they can't defeat the enemy.
They could only wait for reinforcements in cold sweat.
When Yuan Shuai saw that they were not moving, he immediately split the troops into two groups.
Continue to retreat all the way.
On another route, Jiang Dagui and his guards went in a roundabout direction to look for Monkey and Fatty.
Jiang Dagui cleaned up all traces of himself as he left.
Make sure not to be discovered by the Japanese.
