"Captain, captain, there's a tank convoy coming.”Qiang Zi's voice sounded in the headset.
Instantly, Lin Bei's attention was focused. He aimed the binoculars at a turn in the distance.
The eight of them did not stay together. In order to avoid being too big of a target, the eight of them were divided into four groups and spread out within two kilometers. Qiang Zi's group was at the northernmost position. Usually, if a convoy came from the north, they would be the first to discover it.
Rumble!
Not long after, a loud roar came from afar. The pebbles on the mountain road shook slightly, and a tank with a steel cannon appeared in Lin Bei's field of vision.
The tank seemed to be a command vehicle with a long antenna. A captain with the rank of major was standing inside the tank, his upper body exposed. He kept looking around and giving orders from time to time.
Tanks slowly drove out from the corner one after another, slowly forming a long line. The loud roar resounded throughout the forest, deafening.
"Captain, are we going to make a move?" Old Pao, who was in the same group as Lin Bei, asked.
"Again and again," Lin Bei pressed his earpiece and replied. At present, there were only about 20 tanks in his field of vision. There were still more tanks coming out. At present, he was not sure how large the scale of this tank fleet was, but Lin Bei had a vague feeling that he would be disappointed.
Because the captain of the leading vehicle was only a major, it meant that this was probably a battalion-level armored unit. The possibility of regimental level was not high. Brigadier level... Just think about it.
Now, he was just waiting for the full picture of this tank convoy. If it was a regiment-level unit, there was still some hope. If it was only a battalion-level unit, he could only let it go.
Rumble!
The leading tank was getting closer and closer to Lin Bei and the others 'hiding place. The trees near the mountain road were all shaken to the point that the leaves were shaking slightly. The following tanks had all left. Lin Bei waited for more than ten seconds, but no new cars appeared.
There were only 30 tanks in total, and it was a battalion-level armored force. Although Lin Bei had already guessed it, when the answer was really placed in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It seems that today's effort will be in vain.”Lin Bei thought to himself. They had been lying in ambush at the edge of the forest for more than ten hours, but there was no harvest at all. The big fish was not so easy to catch...
At this moment, a series of ear-piercing sounds of steel rubbing against the ground rang out. More than 30 tanks slowly came to a stop. The commander of the leading tank put a communicator to his ear.
"Understood. Please rest assured, brigade commander. Our troops will definitely arrive at the assembly point within two hours and guarantee the completion of the mission!”
"Attention, all vehicles. The brigade headquarters has ordered us to arrive at the rendezvous point within two hours.”
Lin Bei looked at the shape of the conductor's mouth and imitated what he said.
Rumble!
The roar of the tanks sounded again, louder than before. The tanks sped up, and the steel tracks rubbed against the ground from time to time, creating sparks.
As he watched the tank convoy leave, the corners of Lin Bei's mouth curled up slightly. What did he hear just now? Brigade headquarters, assembly. It was not difficult to deduce something when these two keywords were combined.
He seemed to have caught a big fish!
Lin Bei immediately looked at his watch. It was around 10 am, and two hours later, it would be around 12 pm. The mountain road was steep and steep, and the width was not particularly wide. It was impossible for the tank to reach the speed on the plain. Even if it moved at full speed, the fastest speed would be about 25 to 30 kilometers per hour.
In two hours, the assembly point was about 50 - 60 km away from here. It was almost lunchtime when they arrived. They had to have a meal and rest for a while. They had to replenish some supplies for the tanks. In this way, it would take them more than an hour to finish it.
Since they were in such a hurry, they must have some sudden mission to carry out. It was very likely that they had to pack up and go to the front line. Then, a simple mobilization meeting would definitely be held. Let's say it was twenty minutes.
Not counting the other unexpected factors, the time alone added up to about three to four hours.
Three to four hours, more than 50 kilometers. The weight on their bodies was not heavy at the moment, so they could be considered light.
A light travel of more than 50 kilometers in three to four hours sounded quite promising!
If his guess was correct, this was a tank brigade. Even if his guess was wrong, he would at most be tired and waste some time. He would take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
Immediately, Lin Bei did not waste any more words. He quickly pressed his earpiece and said,"Everyone, pay attention. This tank convoy is rushing over to gather with the main force. They should be heading to the front line. The gathering point is at least 50 kilometers away from here. We only have a little more than three hours.”
"Understood!" Everyone pressed their earphones and replied.
"Alright, then let's set off. Follow their tails and sneak over!”After saying that, Lin Bei quickly jumped down from the tree and chased after the tank convoy along the forest with Old Pao. The other members of Lone Wolf Team B did the same.
…
Ta, ta, ta.
After more than three hours of long-distance pursuit, Lin Bei and the others finally stopped. It was not because they had already arrived at the rendezvous point, but because there was no way to go...
They had followed the car tracks all the way here, but at this moment, a few small hills appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
If it was just an ordinary hill, it would be fine. They could just pass through it. The problem was that this was not an ordinary hill. Looking around, the guards on the bright side were no less than a platoon, strictly guarding the mountain road that passed through the hill. There were countless hidden sentries in the surroundings. In less than two minutes, Lin Bei and the others had discovered no less than ten hidden sentries. Some were hidden near the mountain road, and some were hidden on the hill.
"Captain, what should we do now? The tracks showed that the tank convoy had passed through this mountain road, but we couldn't pass through it now.”Xiao Zhuang asked Lin Bei.
There were so many sentries around them. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens if they wanted to sneak past this small hill. Because it was daytime, the field of vision was extremely wide. If it was nighttime, there would be some chances. However, there were still a few hours before nighttime. Too many accidents could happen.
For example, the most direct point was that this unit was heading straight to the front line. As long as they did not pass by them and could not determine the specific location, everything would be in vain.
