    After leaving Yuanling, we originally planned to reach Chenzhou County before evening, but after passing Sanjiaoping, at a place called Tianjiawan, Chen Daxing's car leading the team stopped first, and the cars behind him also stopped one after another.  Xia Yang had just jumped out of the car and wanted to ask, but Chen Daxing in front had already ran over and told him: "Company Commander, the bridge in front is broken!"

    Xia Yang was startled for a moment and quickly followed him to look ahead.

    Zhang Xian couldn't help but frown and said: "It's really weird!"

    Xiong Sanwa turned her head and asked with some confusion: "What's weird?"

    Zhang Xiandao: "It's winter now, and there are no flash floods. The bridges on this road are all stone bridges, which are very strong. How could they break?"

    "Yes!" Xiong Sanwa also felt a little strange.

    "I'll go to the front and take a look!" Zhang Xian said and jumped out of the car.

    Arriving at the front of the motorcade, Xia Yang, Sun Changcun and Chen Daxing, who were leading the team, were discussing something in front of a collapsed small bridge. Zhang Xian looked at the small stone bridge again. It was built on a small stream.  The stream is not wide. The area with water is only more than one meter wide. A person can cross it with a single jump. However, the slopes on both sides of the stream are about five or six meters long and are covered with large rocks washed down from the mountains.  This creek is sandwiched between two peaks. The road winds along the foot of the northern mountain. After crossing the creek, it goes south along the foot of the southern peak.  Zhang Xian walked onto this ten-meter-wide bridge. Both sides of the bridge were well preserved, except for a gap of more than one meter wide in the bridge deck in the middle, and there was still a vague smell of sulfur.  Seeing the hole, Zhang Xian had already determined that it was not a natural break, but someone deliberately sabotaged it and blew it up with explosives.

    Obviously, instructors Xia Yang and Sun also saw the man-made traces of the fracture. Zhang Xian had already heard Xia Yang saying to Sun Changcun: "We have really encountered an enemy. This is someone deliberately sabotaging our convoy.  pass!"

    Sun Changcun also nodded, looked at the sky again, and suggested: "Old Xia, it's getting late today. I don't think it's better for our convoy to turn around first and go to Sanjiaoping to rest for the night, and at the same time send people to get the information from Chenzhou County.  Get in touch and come over early tomorrow morning to repair the bridge!"

    There is still twenty kilometers away from here to Chenzhou City, so Sun Changcun¡¯s suggestion is also a good choice.

    Xia Yang nodded and sent someone to find the company commander of the company that was escorting the convoy, asking him to take a squad of people to Chenzhou and prepare to order the convoy to turn around.

    However, at this moment, a loud rumbling sound was heard from behind, as if an earthquake had occurred, shaking the whole earth.

    "What's going on?" Many people asked in panic and confusion.

    Zhang Xian also became inexplicably nervous.

    This tremor only lasted for a while, and then it calmed down. Everything in the mountain became calm again, except for a puff of smoke rising into the sky from behind.

    Captain Wang Qin, who was following behind, hurried over with a few people, but told Xia Yang that a huge boulder suddenly rolled down from the mountain behind the motorcade, blocking the middle of the road.

    Xia Yang and Instructor Sun could not help but be stunned, and quickly followed them to check.

    Chen Daxing was about to follow him, but was grabbed by Zhang Xian.

    Seeing that Xia Yang and Sun Changcun had walked away, Chen Daxing asked Zhang Xian: "Ah Shui, what's wrong?"

    Zhang Xian shook his head and looked serious: "Daxing, I'm afraid our entire convoy has entered the enemy's ambush circle and cannot escape!"

    Chen Daxing couldn't help but take a breath of air and asked quickly: "How do you know?"

    Zhang Xian raised his head, looked around, and told him leisurely: "Look at the environment we are in right now!"

    Chen Daxing was stunned for a moment and looked around.

    At this time, the entire convoy was in a valley between two mountains. It was only after crossing the bridge in front of it that it left the valley.  The mountains on both sides stand at a 45-degree angle. Although they are not too steep, the mountains in the south are different from the mountains in the north. Even in winter, the mountains are densely covered with green pines and cypresses and deserted trees.  Strangers who are not familiar with the terrain rush into the bushes and weeds and have no idea where they are.  If there is an army ambushing in the mountains on both sides and blocking both ends of the valley, it will not be so easy for the convoy entering the valley to get out again.

    Looking at this situation, Chen Daxing couldn't help but feel a headache. He nodded and said with conviction: "Ah Shui, you are right, we fell into the enemy's trap."At that time, there were still a few hundred meters away from the last car in the convoy. If it hit the middle of the convoy, there was no telling how many people would die.

    Xia Yang led a group of people to push away the boulder, but after pushing for a long time, the boulder still couldn't move. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he heard another burst of gunshots suddenly rang out from the south. All the people  They immediately became alert and took out their weapons, preparing to fight the enemy to the death.  However, after the gunshots were fired for a long time, no one rushed down from the mountains and forests on both sides. Xia Yang was a little confused. At this time, Wu Xiaoyang ran over with a soldier covered in blood. When Xia Yang looked intently, this soldier was exactly  One of the people from the team he sent out to contact Chenzhou just now. Before he could ask, the soldier started crying, but told him that the soldiers from their squad, including his company commander, were halfway there.  After being ambushed by the enemy, all nine people in his squad had died except him. He only ran back under the desperate cover of the company commander.

    This was like a bolt from the blue, which suddenly made Xia Yang and Sun Changcun a little confused. They suddenly realized that their convoy had become the enemy's prey.

    "Have you seen those enemies clearly?" Chen Daxing asked the soldier hurriedly.

    The soldier shook his head and told him that they were ambushed in a woods and did not see the enemy's face clearly at all!

    Chen Daxing couldn't help but look at Zhang Xian behind him. Zhang Xian looked calm at this time. This was already what he expected.

    "Bandits! It must have been done by bandits!" A person in the cadre group accompanying the team said through gritted teeth.

    Xia Yang and Chen Daxing looked at the man. He was a man of medium build, wearing the same yellow People's Liberation Army uniform as them, but without a collar badge. He looked about forty years old, with a bare head and no hat, and thick hair.  His hair was black and shiny, covering his head with some natural curls. The beard on his face was not cleanly shaved, so his face looked very dark.

    "Mr. Lu, how can you be so sure?" Captain Wang Qin couldn't help but ask.

    It turned out that this man was Lu Jiusong, who had been appointed as the magistrate of Mayang County. Xia Yang also knew that this was a man from Shandong. He was originally a deputy commander of the Fourth Field Army and was injured in the battle against Xiangxi.  , was sent to Changde for treatment, and later had to be demobilized and became the county magistrate.

    County Magistrate Lu said: "When I was injured in Mayang, I was beaten by bandits. At that time, their reactionaries surrounded the county. I took people to ask for help from nearby troops, and that's how I was shot!"

    Xia Yang, Wang Qin, Sun Changcun and others were all startled for a moment. Sun Changcun was the first to say: "If they are really bandits, they will be easy to deal with!"

    "Yeah!" Xia Yang also nodded.

    Chen Daxing couldn't help but said: "Company Commander, we still need to ask for reinforcements; besides, these bandits are probably not that simple!"

    "Oh?" Xia Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to him and asked: "What do you think?"

    Chen Daxing said: "If they are bandits, there are not five or six hundred people who would not dare to covet our convoy. When I came here, I didn't hear that there was such a large organization of bandit armed forces here in Yuanling; besides, even if  If the bandits did it, they must have someone instigating it or having an accomplice!"

    Xia Yang nodded, but Sun Changcun was a bit disapproving: "Maybe some bandits are bold and want to rob the goods!"

    Chen Daxing shook his head and reminded them: "Don't forget, when we came here, County Magistrate Liu said that a grain transport team also disappeared on this road before I came, and they checked for three days and found nothing."  Find out the results. If they are bandits, can they have such a tight organization?"

    Sun Changcun thought about it again and guessed: "Maybe this is a group of bandits who are wandering around and leave after robbing!"

    "What if they are bandits? How could it be such a coincidence that they are here to rob us again?"

    Instructor Sun couldn't help but became speechless.

    Xia Yang nodded, but asked Chen Daxing: "Daxing, what do you mean?"

    Chen Daxing had a serious look on his face and said solemnly: "I think this matter is very serious. We must take it seriously. Moreover, we are already in a very dangerous situation. If not, the whole army may be annihilated!"

    "Is it so serious?" Wu Xiaoyang beside him was a little unconvinced.

    Chen Daxing nodded affirmatively and said to Xia Yang: "Company Commander, I have also spent some time in Xiangxi, and I am somewhat familiar with the folk customs here. I think we must make preparations immediately. It is very early."  It¡¯s almost dark, and the enemy¡¯s attack may come at any time!¡±

    "Well!" After listening to Chen Daxing's words, Xia Yang became decisive and made a decision immediately: "In our team, I, instructor Sun, and deputy company commander Chen formed a temporary combat headquarters. All personnel and vehicles in the team are  You must obey the command¡¯s orders unconditionally!¡±

    "Okay!" Wang Qin took the lead in agreeing, and the others also nodded.

    At this time, Xia Yang turned around and said to Chen Daxing and Sun Changcun: "The three of us go to the side to discuss and see what the next arrangement will be!"

    "Yes!" Sun Changcun answered, as did Chen Daxing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??, Instructor Sun and Deputy Company Commander Chen formed a temporary combat headquarters. All personnel and vehicles in the team must unconditionally obey the orders of the headquarters!  "

    "Okay!" Wang Qin took the lead in agreeing, and the others also nodded.
