Anti war ranger

Chapter 1 Attack on the Mountain Road
In the peaceful mountains and forests, a team of mules and horses is zigzagging through the mountain roads. The team of mules is not very large, and there are only thirty or so mules and horses pulling goods. A cart with people sitting on it.A dozen guards on horseback followed closely behind the mule team. The guards had short knives on their waists and long guns on their shoulders, and each of them looked very imposing.

Yao Huilan was on a big cart in the middle of the mule team, with fluffy hair and a bun behind her head. Her attire reminded others all the time that she was a married woman.Like Yao Huilan, several of her female classmates also dressed as married women. After leaving Beiping, these young students all made up disguises.

Under the leadership of experienced guides, the mule team marched at an unhurried pace, using the most energy-saving way to cross the mountains under their feet.After noon, the mule team finally climbed over the last big mountain in sight. The men and the pack horses seemed to be relieved. The most difficult road has passed, but the dangerous road is coming.

A well-dressed middle-aged man wearing a felt hat came to the guards and bowed his hands, then lowered his voice and asked for instructions: "Captain Ma, do you want to rest at the pheasant ridge ahead?".The person who spoke was Sun Wencai, the manager of the mule team. He had walked this road dozens of times.

Ma Tie, who was sitting on the horseback, withdrew his thoughts, waved his hands casually and said, "You are in charge of this mule team now, we have already agreed, and we will listen to you along the way!" Ma Tie knew that Sun Wencai chose this route. Although the road is not far away, the mountain road along the way is rugged and difficult. Fortunately, the most difficult road has passed for pack horses, but for Sun Wencai, the dangerous road has just begun, as if the road ahead is coming soon. Pheasant Ridge.Since ancient times, the Luoma Mountain Road has never been peaceful, and there has never been a lack of bandits and horse thieves who want to make business trips along the way, and Yeji Ridge is one of them.

Yeji Ridge is a hurdle on this road, but if you want to bypass Yeji Ridge, you have to walk more on the Baili Mountain Road. For the horses who are in a hurry to reach their destination, it is absolutely unacceptable to spend more time on the road.Ma Tie said that he wanted Sun Wencai to make up his own mind, but actually he wanted Sun Wencai to follow the pre-determined route, so knowing that Yeji Ridge was dangerous, Sun Wencai had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue on his way.

The mule team turned a three-way intersection, the road under their feet changed from potholes to flat and wide. Seeing that there were no pedestrians on the road, the horse iron who had been cautiously waved his hand, and his guards urged the horse to gallop forward. rush to.There was a sound of hoofbeats, and the two young guards quickly rode their horses and disappeared in front of the turn. Sun Wencai looked at the back of the guard cavalry, frowned slightly, and whispered in his mouth, "This year's business is getting worse and worse. !"

Li Fu, who followed closely behind Sun Wencai, asked, "Shopkeeper, why is this?"

Sun Wencai tapped Li Fu's head with a horsewhip in his hand, and explained with a smile, "Look, I haven't met a caravan on this road. This time of the year, this mountain road is the busiest time of the year."

At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, it is the season when a large number of mule teams cross this mountain forest, especially on the road of Yeji Ridge, there are continuous cargo teams.But Sun Wencai had been paying attention to the traces on the road for a long time, but he didn't find any traces left by other mule teams passing by here.The mule team walked quickly on the flat road, and the horse iron led the guards to trot for a while, and then slowed down, walking carefully in the middle of the pack horse cargo team.There will be no danger here, but Ma Tie has always been cautious, and this wilderness is not a place where you can relax your vigilance casually.

The mule wagon that students like Yao Huilan and the others were riding in had been secretly guarded by the mule team guards in the middle and back of the mule team. If they didn't know the basics, they might think that the goods on the mule horses were the focus of Ma Tie's guards.In fact, Yao Huilan and the others were the focus of Ma Tie's protection, and the cargo on the mules and horses was just a way to divert their attention.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Yeji Ridge, Sun Wencai was thinking about whether to stop and rest when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the road behind him. "Tsk tsk, which company can order so many goods, this business has finally seen a turnaround!" Li Fu smacked his lips and praised there. The lives of these people are closely related to this business road. There are more business travelers coming and going. They have business to do.

Sun Wencai also looked around for a while, and then with a happy face, he went to Ma Tie and whispered, "Captain Ma, the mule team that is chasing after us is bigger than us, we can follow them in a while, This can save a lot of trouble." Sun Wencai's proposal was approved by Ma Tie, if there is a pathfinder in front of him, it would be great.

The mule team stopped by the side of the road for a brief lunch, and when the caravan that came up from behind disappeared in the distance, the mule team that was full of water and food continued on their way. After walking for four or five miles, the land under their feet gradually changed. Soft, yellow and green turf gradually appeared on both sides of the road.Sun Wencai saw a rut left on the soft ground in the middle of the road not far ahead, and walked over to examine it carefully. When the horse iron came to him, he turned around and said, "This should be the trace left by the mule team just now. Several carriages, and more than 20 pack horses."

Sun Wencai and the others followed the mule team in front of them far away, but they didn't know that the mule team that had passed them at Yeji Ridge had stopped at the bank of the river a few miles in front of them.A long trench can be vaguely seen among the weeds along the clear river tens of meters away from the left side of the road. Looking at the soil covered under the grass branches beside the trench, it is known that the soil was recently excavated.

"Liu Liu, when will those people show up? We've been laying here for more than half an hour." With a sound of complaint, the mess of grass in the ditch suddenly moved, and the face under the grass had thick With eyebrows and a high nose, there are some messy stubble on the chin and cheeks.With the short gun in his hand and the long-handled machete stuck in his side, this can already show his identity-he is a bandit.

What he asked about was a young man who was obviously only in his 20s. At the moment, the young man was silently staring directly in front of him, still chewing jerky in his mouth.Compared with the other nervous people around him, this young man appeared calmer, his thick body appeared powerful and strong, and the confidence in his bright eyes made others feel at ease. "What's the hurry? There's only one road here, so they can turn around and go back?"

There were more than 50 bandits ambushing here. The stubbled man who spoke first was obviously the leader of the bandits, but after the young bandit spoke, the bandits who had already been in a commotion immediately fell silent. down.The young bandit seemed to have realized that what he said just now was inappropriate, so he moved his body carefully, approached the stubble man and whispered, "Brother, don't worry, the information this time was provided by the Japanese." Yes, and the Japanese even sent us helpers this time, no matter whether things are done or not, we are all paid for it."

"That's right, before we set off, the guy named Hatoyama told me personally that those gold bars belong to us no matter whether the matter can be done or not." The knife's left hand also sneaked into his arms, and the feeling of the hard gold bars in his arms filled his heart with joy. The sale of 10 large yellow croakers is not a small deal, not to mention getting another team of mules for nothing in a while.

While the two were talking in low voices, in the ditch beside them, a few sturdy guys were setting up two Japanese light machine guns, not far from them, and two other men were preparing a Japanese light machine gun. grenades. "Lao Liu, you are someone who has seen the world. Tell me, why did the Japanese ask us to help them this time?" Rubbing the gold bar in his arms, the bandit leader asked in a low voice to the young bandit beside him road.The sixth bandit just squinted at the other party, and did not answer the other party's question, because a large convoy had already appeared on the road tens of meters away from them.

The mountain roads are never too comfortable, and some sections are even more rough, but against the backdrop of the surrounding scenery, this seemingly endless mountain road does not feel heavy on the heart.The three consecutive days of rushing on the road had already made the young students following the cart lose their vigor at the beginning. Even the strong male students had already been silent by this time.

"There is an ambush, take cover." Ma Tie's heart-piercing ending has not yet dissipated, and Yao Huilan, who was sitting in the cart barefoot because of blisters on her feet, saw a sudden appearance among the grass and trees in the river on the left side of the road ahead. Dozens of flashing gun flames. "Da da da da da da" Accompanied by the loud and rapid sound of machine gun firing, two chains of fire shot from the direction Yao Huilan was looking at. Against the background of the surrounding greenery, the fire chains ejected from the barrel of the machine gun appeared Unusually bright.

Ma Tie, who issued the warning, obviously has more experience in dealing with emergencies than Yao Huilan and the other Peking students. Unfortunately, his reaction was far less fast than that of a bullet. Before Yao Huilan jumped out of the cart, he turned The horse iron that had dismounted and was about to leap off the embankment was covered in blood from the chain of fire. There was a loud "boom", and a cloud of smoke rose from the road. Although the power of the land mine explosion was not as powerful as that of a shell, it also caused a column of smoke several meters high to rise on the road. open.
