The secret war is silent

The energy of the "Fuxing Society" Secret Service was huge. Early the next morning, news was received that a truckload of relief supplies from Jiangcheng had arrived at Yiyang Station.

Shen Yu drove the empty carriage with Luo Yao and others who had rested all night.

Clothes to keep out the cold, quilts, tents, and the most important medicines...

Three large cars were fully loaded.

Except for the seriously injured who stayed in the county hospital, the rest of the people were on the road without stopping to escort the supplies. They had to rush back as soon as possible.

The team ran out of food last night. Even if they took money to buy food, it would be difficult to buy food. The nearby villages that were affected by the disaster could not even take care of themselves.

When we came, we walked for a whole day, and when we went back, it was probably about the same, and we wasted time unloading supplies at the train station.

Even if we return the same way, we probably won’t be able to return to the temple until evening.

It's okay during the day.

It was dark. Not only could they not recognize the road and direction, but the further they walked into the mountains, the less peaceful the road became. Bandits had been infested in western Hunan for many years. Although the area they were walking in was on the edge of the countryside, there were often wandering people. Bandits cause nuisance, especially after a disaster, and those who cannot survive will directly go to the mountains and become bandits.

Therefore, banditry in western Hunan is endless.

The common people suffered a disaster, and the bandits in the mountains also had a hard time. If they brought three carts of supplies out of the city in such a swagger, they would have become fat sheep in the eyes of others.

This is why Shen Yu had to bring a platoon of guards over. When they came, they had nothing. Even if the bandits saw them, they would not take the initiative to provoke them.

A well-equipped regular army platoon is far more powerful than ordinary bandits. In addition, they don't bring much supplies. It takes a fool to fight head-on.

But when they went back, they carried a lot of supplies, which was different in the eyes of these desperadoes. These supplies were a huge wealth. People died for money, and birds died for food.

There are many people who take desperate risks for the sake of wealth.

Luo Yao could think of all these, how could Shen Yu, the team leader, not think of it. Therefore, when he went back, he did not take the original road, but took another road.

The first half of this road has been explored clearly by the Yiyang group and is safe, but the second half is hard to tell as it goes deep into the mountainous area.

Moreover, the road in the past cannot be walked now, so we can only arrange for people to go out for reconnaissance. Only after it is safe, the team and supplies will continue to move forward.

This is very safe, but it will inevitably delay the speed of travel.

Shen Yu was also anxious, but being anxious didn't solve the problem. Once he got too impatient, he might even bring the rescue supplies with him.

By that time, Wang Yueqing and others, who were waiting for help in the deserted temple, would be in trouble.

There was no food, no clothing to keep out the cold, and there were so many lightly wounded people. It would be freezing to death on such a cold night.

"Luo Yao, if there is danger ahead, can you hear it in advance?" Shen Yu called Luo Yao over and asked immediately.

Luo Yao was stunned. Immediately, he understood why Shen Yu came out with the group that chose him. He valued his ability to predict the outbreak of "flash floods".

Of course, he may have misunderstood. He did not have this kind of precognitive ability, but his hearing was beyond normal people and he could hear far away. He calculated the arrival time based on the speed of the flash flood and gave advance warning.

This is not a sixth sense, or a superpower.

Shen Yu had some illness and urgently sought medical treatment.

"Instructor Shen, the fact that I can detect flash floods and mudslides is not because I have any precognitive superpowers. It's because my ears can hear sounds from far away, so..." Luo Yao felt the need to make it clear to Shen Yu. To avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell the other party all about his extraordinary hearing ability, otherwise he might become a sliced ​​mouse.

He himself couldn't quite explain this ability.

"How far can you hear?" Shen 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, it would make sense.

"Two or three miles should be no problem." Luo Yao thought for a while, but still had reservations.

"Let's go, let's go, Platoon Leader Xu!" Hearing this, Shen Yu directly pulled Luo Yao and walked to the front of the team.

"arrive!"

"Take a class and go out a hundred meters to conduct reconnaissance. Your task is to protect the safety of Luo Yao's students. Just go as he says. Do you hear me?" Shen Yu ordered.

"Yes, Commander Shen." As the saying goes, a senior official is the most powerful person. Platoon Commander Xu is only a second lieutenant. Shen Yu is a lieutenant colonel, several ranks behind him. Do you dare not listen to his words?

What's more, he also knew that without Luo Yao's advance warning the night before yesterday, how many people would have died in the flash floods and mudslides.

The pace of progress began to increase.

Luo Yao knew that now was not the time to hide his clumsiness. He and this team were now grasshoppers on a rope. The bandits in Xiangxi had always been extremely cruel. Even if they didn't die, if they fell into their hands, they would probably end badly.

Helping Shen Yu means helping himself.

Although he is not sure whether he can help, after all, it is his first time to take on this job, and it is also his first time to do it. If something goes wrong, the whole team may be destroyed.

Platoon Leader Xu is a veteran who fought in the Battle of Songhu and has rich combat experience. Of course Luo Yao will not let go of this rare learning opportunity.

Even if you learn a little bit about it, it will still be useful and you will need it in the future for protection.

…

The team was advancing 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.

"stop."

"What's wrong, brother Luo Yao?" Platoon leader Xu ran up and asked Luo Yao politely. He knew very well that these students would have a higher starting point than him in the future, and might even become his commanders. Now they can establish a good relationship. In the future, maybe someone can change your destiny with just one word.

"There are people in the woods ahead. This is both a flash flood and a mudslide. Ordinary people will not appear here at this time. They should be spies of the bandits!" Luo Yao said.

"What should I do? This road must be passed. If we go around it, we will have to walk for at least two more hours and it will be too late." Platoon Leader Xu said with a hint of anxiety.

"Their spies are all here, which means they are not far from where the bandits are ambushing. We can't let them pass the news back." Luo Yao lowered his voice and said, "Platoon Commander Xu, send someone back to Shen first. The instructor reported, let’s do this..."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. These bandits kill without blinking an eye. If we encounter them, it's either you die or I live." Platoon Leader Xu nodded frequently after listening to Luo Yao's suggestion.

…

Four hundred meters away, in the woods on the hillside, two people huddled up and crouched in the thick grass for four hours. They chose a place where they could see the road conditions down the mountain without being easily discovered.

If it weren't for the strong wind on the mountain, the cold wind penetrated through the rolls of their trousers, and the chill inside their crotches would have been unbearable.

They could both lie down here and fall asleep.

"Brother, look, someone is coming..." The little bandit stared at the mountain road without blinking and gave his companion an elbow.

"Brother, what's going on with you? Are you talking?"

The little bandit was anxious. When he turned around, he was dumbfounded. The muzzles of two black guns were pointed at the back of his head, and his finger was on the trigger.

As long as there is any abnormal movement in him, he is ready to go to the underworld and be reincarnated.

And his companion, who had been twisted aside and tied into a rice dumpling, was kneeling there with a "whimper", looking at these people who appeared from nowhere with fearful eyes.

was discovered.

…

Bandits have no faith to speak of, and will do anything to survive. Naturally, these two bandits and spies asked and said anything, not daring to hide anything.

Of course, Luo Yao would not easily believe that there were many cunning and cunning bandits among them, and they would not tell his subordinates all about his arrangements.

You still need to see it for yourself.

"You said there are nearly a hundred bandits in this group, and they are setting up an ambush on the hill in front?" Shen Yu was a little surprised when he heard Luo Yao's report.

Luo Yao nodded: "They are ambushing us on the road we must pass. If we take a detour, we will be delayed for at least two hours."

"It's less than two hours before dark. If we don't take this road and go around it, not only will the road be difficult to walk, but it will be even more troublesome if we get lost." Shen Yu looked embarrassed.

"Sir Shen, although there are more than a hundred bandits in this group, they are all a mob, and their weapons and equipment are not as good as ours. If we can get behind them, launch a surprise attack, and defeat this bandit, then We can pass safely, which can save at least an hour." Platoon Leader Xu said, "And there is no need to make a detour."

"Platoon Leader 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 violent attack, as long as we defeat them in one fell swoop, we will pass this road." Luo Yao agreed. .

"Are you sure?" Shen Yu was engaged in operations behind enemy lines. He didn't have much experience in this kind of battle, so naturally he was a little unsure.

"Yes!" Platoon Commander Xu shouted loudly.

"Okay, let's get ready. We'll set off in five minutes." Shen Yu is not an indecisive person. Since Platoon Leader Xu, who is experienced in combat, has said so, he will take the risk.

"Instructor Shen, I want to participate in the battle!" Luo Yao requested. How could he miss this opportunity for actual combat?

"You, no, you don't have any combat experience. If you go, Platoon Commander Xu and the others will have to distract themselves from protecting you." Shen Yu refused.

"Instructor Shen, I can make Platoon Commander Xu and others approach these bandits silently, and then launch a surprise attack from the most advantageous distance. I don't need to attack, I can just hide far behind." Luo Yao said.

"you sure?"

"If that doesn't work, let Mancang and Liu Jinbao follow me. They both have some combat experience. If they don't participate in the battle, they can protect me, right?" Luo Yao said again.

This plan was feasible. Shen Yu called Liu Jinbao and Mancang over, and after some instructions, asked them to protect Luo Yao all the way and act with Platoon Leader Xu.
