This traveler only wants to choose the lowest difficulty

Chapter 86

The huge explosion quickly made everyone in the car nervous. Many people ran towards the front of the car. The driver braked suddenly, and the steam locomotive gradually stopped. Wang Dong got off the car with Douglas, and people in other cars crowded Come out and see what's going on.

I saw a plain at the foot of the mountain in front of me. In the light of the fire, Wang Dong noticed that there were many people running on the plain. A group of Imperial Association Army was surrounded at the core. The figure of the commander of the Imperial Association Army was very familiar. Looking carefully, it was actually Mo Huaide .

The steam locomotive was not very fast, and there was still time to start the boiler. Mo Huaide set off half a day earlier than them, so it was not surprising that he got here first, but he didn't expect that the two sides would meet again so soon.

Guns of various types around Mohuaide's Imperial Association Army rang out, and Wang Dong had some military experience. Although it was in the cold weapon era, he looked at the terrain and found that the plain below was the bell mouth of the road out of the mountain. , very suitable for an ambush, and soon realized that this should be an ambush launched by the guerrillas.But listening to those chaotic gunshots, Wang Dong realized that most of the troops from different sources were mobilized this time. It is likely that the main force of the Eighth Route Army contacted the nearby county brigade and district squad, and concentrated their forces to eat Mo Huaide, the imperial association army. .

But looking at the armored train that was blown out of the railway, Wang Dong frowned.

It was impossible for Mo Huaide to mobilize equipment such as armored trains. This kind of thing must be equipped only in the railway station of the Japanese army. This train is probably equipped by the devils in Qinhuangdao.

This shows that our army's ambush was not completely successful, and the Japs who had survived to Qinhuangdao, Mo Huaide, actually sent armored trains for reinforcements.A large number of Japanese and puppet troops will definitely arrive immediately. If so, our army's ambush is almost destined to fail.

Except for more than 20 members of the U.S. Marine Corps, the remaining 20 mechanics and coolies are all Chinese. They were stopped by Mohuaide in Fengtai before. Everyone did not see the actual exchange of fire between the Eight Route Army and the puppet army. It wasn't that strong yet, but at the moment everyone watched the fierce battle between the guerrillas and the puppet army at the foot of the mountain, and sometimes a few Eighth Route Army in uniforms charged, and everyone couldn't help but sweat for the Eighth Route Army.

Douglas didn't give any instructions, just picked up the binoculars and stared at the distant battlefield.

The Eighth Route Army also seemed to know that time was running out, and before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, they launched several charges against Mo Huaide's simple fortifications, and occasionally Wang Dong heard the sound of the charge number several times.

But in the face of the armored train, although the Eighth Route Army derailed the train, the Eighth Route Army's light weapons were unable to destroy the entire train. After the train overturned, the enemies ran out under gunfire and even used the machine guns on the train to cover Mo Huaide. Fortifications, the combined firepower of the two sides is much stronger than that of the Eighth Route and the guerrillas.

Ten minutes later, strong lights lit up on the distant railway line. Subsequent Japanese and puppet troops arrived, and the Eighth Route Army had to slowly begin to withdraw.

The gunshots were heard getting farther and farther away, knowing that the Chinese army had lost this time, everyone in the escort team felt a little heavy.

The Japanese and puppet troops who arrived later began to clean up the battlefield. Apparently, some Japanese troops also noticed the train on the mountainside, so a group of devils with flashlights came here.

The Japanese army arrived at the front of the car, and after shining their flashlights on everyone for a while, a Japanese interpreter ran over and said to Douglas: "The road ahead is impassable, so let's ask your team to go to a nearby fortress village to rest. It can be provided by the imperial army."

They obviously knew everything about Douglas's team.

Zhou Wenbo couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

He turned to Douglas and said: "Mr. Lieutenant, this is very close to Qinhuangdao. We can borrow a few mules and horses to pull the carts to deliver the specimens to Qinhuangdao. There is no need to go to the village and waste time. These specimens are already in Japan. It’s been under people’s radar for too long.”

He looked worried, but Wang Dong could understand it.

Later generations have known through genetic analysis that Peking Man and Homo sapiens are not the same species biologically, they are only close relatives of humans, and they probably became extinct before humans entered East Asia.

But the biology of these years has not yet entered the stage of genetic analysis, and many scientists believe that the Peking Man is the ancestor of all East Asians.

Like **, there are many anthropologists in Japan these days who advocate the Japanese version of the theory of racial superiority. For these people, it is obviously very helpful for them to find out the superiority of the Yamato nation if they can master Peking Man specimens for research. .It is for this reason that the Peking Man specimens have been coveted by the Japanese since they were unearthed, so Chinese scientific researchers have to do everything possible to preserve these few specimens.

Douglas shook his head when he heard the words: "It's too dangerous to clash with the Japanese in this situation. They will guarantee our safety. We'd better do what they say."

Hearing his words, all the Chinese in the team who could understand English were a little excited.

Wu Tingzhang couldn't help but said: "Lieutenant Douglas, you have been stationed in China and have seen with your own eyes what the Japanese did. Do you still believe them?"

Douglas shook his head indifferently: "I know they are treacherous, but they dare not do this to us. The Japanese fight China, and the Chinese also fight Japan. For us, the United States does not want to participate in the war between Japan and China, two East Asian countries." war."

Hearing Douglas' superior words, everyone couldn't help feeling disgusted with the old white man.

Sun Chetai said excitedly: "China is a country that has been invaded, and we have the right to defend ourselves. That's not attacking, it's defending our country!"

Douglas shrugged, "Well, I can understand. The United States is also sympathetic to China. You see, many Americans have participated in the China Aid Air Force, and like us now, they are also helping Chongqing to protect important items, right? ?”

Sun Chetai wanted to say something more, but Douglas said: "Enough is enough, I am the decision maker of the team. I said: Let's do what the Japanese say! Leave a few boys to look after your national treasure, and the others will go to the village first. Rest here, and when the road is repaired, we will be on the road as soon as possible.”

After he finished speaking, he began to allocate people. Zhou Wenbo wanted to say something else, but unfortunately he was just the director of the researcher and did not dare to confront Douglas. In the end, he could only obey silently.

After packing up their things, the Japanese army team also went to report the situation, and then a group of Japanese soldiers led Wang Dong and the others down the mountain road.

The fortress village of the Japanese army was built on the plain, next to the railway, and there was a Japanese watchtower stationed around it to ensure the safety of the railway.

Walking into the village, it is obviously richer than the small mountain village before, but still no villagers can be seen. When they heard that the Japanese army entered the village, the villagers would hide if they could.

Only a few gentry and landowners in the maintenance meeting heard that the Japanese were coming, and hurriedly changed into decent clothes and waited in the maintenance meeting.

Seeing Douglas and his party enter the house, all the landlords and Lao Cai were stunned for a moment, followed by even brighter smiles.Japanese and foreign devils, people who are not dare to offend on weekdays are all here.

A middle-aged fat man hurriedly nodded and walked out, took off his melon cap and put it on his chest, and said to the Japanese army officer who led the team: "Taijun, all members of the Xizhangzhuang Maintenance Committee will listen to the instructions of the Taijun. My Chen Wanwan, now He is the chairman of the main village maintenance association."

Seeing this fat man, Wang Dong froze for a moment.

Looking at that face that was almost exactly the same as Chen Chunsheng's, and remembering that Chen Chunsheng said that his grandfather was from Qinhuangdao, Wang Dong couldn't help complaining wildly in his heart.

Isn't it the anti-Japanese hero that you said?No face, no face, old Chen...
