"Throw!"
As he spoke, Li Qiufan pulled out the ring and threw the grenade down, followed by other soldiers.
The Japs below were confronting the First Battalion. Suddenly, it was like hail falling overhead, and grenades hit their heads directly one by one.
"Boom boom boom..."
There were bursts of explosions for a while, and the Japanese below were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
However, this also exposed Li Qiufan's position. The surviving Japanese immediately took out their grenades and fired at the cave.
"Captain, be careful!"
The monk suddenly shouted, pulled Li Qiufan and ran towards the cave.
As soon as the two ran into the cave, there was an explosion outside.
After several roars, Li Qiufan was directly blown away, and the rocks above the cave were also shaken down, directly blocking the entrance of the cave.
"Ahem..."
The monk was choked by the dust and kept coughing. He patted himself and got up.
"Leader? Head?"
The monk shouted around, but there was no response.
At this time, the entrance to the cave was sealed, and it was pitch dark inside the cave, and nothing could be seen clearly.
"Is there anyone alive!"
The monk shouted anxiously.
"Company Commander, I'm still alive."
"Company commander..."
"…………"
Voices sounded one after another, but there were only five voices.
"If anyone has any matches, take off your clothes and light a fire!"
The monk just wanted to find Li Qiufan at this time and hurriedly ordered everyone to light a fire.
Not long after, a fire slowly ignited and illuminated the entire cave.
Thanks to one of the surviving warriors who smoked and carried matches with him.
After getting the light, the monk looked around. There were many people lying around, but he couldn't tell who was Li Qiufan.
"Find the leader quickly, quickly!"
The monk said something to a few people, and took the lead in turning over the people around him to start searching.
"Company commander, we found it! The commander is here!"
Suddenly, a soldier shouted towards the monk, and the monk rushed over with a single stride.
"Leader? Head?"
The monk shook Li Qiufan's body, but there was no reaction. This frightened the monk. He quickly tested his breath and found that he was still alive, and then he felt relieved.
The monk turned over Li Qiufan's body to see if he was injured. After some inspection, he found that he had been injured in three places, and the shell fragments were still inside.
"Hurry up, grandma, are there any brothers who are still alive? The leader is injured, we have to leave quickly!"
The monk helped Li Qiufan up, then carried him on his back and said to the others.
After a search, only two soldiers were found who were still alive. They were not injured at all. They were just knocked unconscious by the explosion. The crowd hurriedly pinched the two soldiers to wake them up.
As a result, except for Li Qiufan and the monk, there were only seven soldiers left, and the entire guard company suffered heavy casualties.
"Company commander, the entrance to the cave is blocked. There are still rocks inside and we can't dig it open. What should we do?"
A soldier tried to dig out the blocked cave entrance and found that it was full of rocks and could not be dug at all.
"Even if you can dig out here, you can't get out. There are all Japanese outside. Take off your clothes and wrap them around your guns to make a few more torches. We'll go inside."
At this time, he could only go deeper into the cave to see if there was an exit. Li Qiufan was injured and unconscious again, so he could not delay here any longer.
After hearing what the monk said, everyone took off their clothes and wrapped themselves in torches, and then followed the monk and walked inside.
There is no unstoppable road, and the monk led everyone to find a bright light not far away. They followed the bright light and quickly found the exit.
After walking out of the cave, the monk frowned at the unfamiliar environment.
"Company commander, what should we do now, go find the troops?"
a soldier asked behind the monk.
"Don't look for it yet. The leader is injured. Find a place to treat the leader's injury!"
The monk turned his head and looked at Li Qiufan on his back, and decided not to look for the troops yet.
After making the decision, the monk asked three of them to go out to explore the road, while the remaining four stood guard beside him.
After walking not far, the soldiers who explored the road came back and reported that they had found a village.
The monk looked happy and hurriedly ran towards the village carrying Li Qiufan on his back.
"Who are you!"
As soon as the monk and others arrived at the outskirts of the village, they were stopped by villagers holding hoes and sticks.
It's not their fault. At this time, only the monk and Li Qiufan were wearing clothes, and they were still dirty. The other people's clothes had been used as torches, and they were all shirtless now.
"Fellow fellow, we are in the Eighth Route Army. We got separated from the army when we were fighting the Japanese. My brother was injured again. Can you help me?"
The monk looked at the villagers sincerely and showed his military uniform to the villagers, which made the villagers lower their guard.
"You guys come with me."
A villager said to the monk, and then led everyone to a room that should be his home.
"Fellow, do you have a doctor here?"
The monk asked the busy villagers that Li Qiufan's injury must be treated by a doctor because there were still bomb fragments inside.
"We are so horny, how can any doctor be willing to stay with us?"
The villager shook his head.
"Then do you know where it is?"
The monk was a little anxious. Li Qiufan didn't dare to delay his injury for too long. He was unconscious now, and it might not be okay if he waited longer.
"There is a county town not far from here, and there must be a doctor in the county town."
The villager pointed in one direction and said to the monk.
The monk looked in that direction and then fell into deep thought.
"Fellow, can you give me some clothes and help me build a coffin? I'll give you the money."
After a moment of silence, the monk suddenly noticed and took out the note and handed it to the villager.
The villagers took the money without hesitation, found some old clothes for the monk, and then asked someone to build a coffin.
It didn't take long for the coffin to be built. The monk and other soldiers changed their clothes and carried Li Qiufan in together.
After doing this, the monk took the money and borrowed a cart from the villagers, then carried the coffin onto the cart and set off towards the county seat.
Outside the county town, a few Japanese soldiers and a few Ergouzi were checking people entering the city. The monk and the others were queuing up behind them pulling a cart.
Soon it was the monk's turn. An Ergouzi came up and looked at the coffin, and then asked, "What's in it?"
"Boss, there is my brother's body inside. My brother died outside. I am going to take my brother home to mourn."
The monk spoke passionately and squeezed out a few tears.
When Er Gouzi heard that it was a corpse, he felt a little disgusted at the time. He was about to let the monk pass when a Japanese man suddenly came over.
"Work somewhere inside!" (Forget it in Japanese, just keep it simple, don't mind!)
The Japanese pointed the gun at the coffin, then looked at Er Gouzi.
"Taijun, there are dead people working inside, it stinks!"
Ergouzi made some gestures to the Japanese and slapped his nose.
"Open!"
The Japs ignored him and pointed their guns at the coffin, signaling the monk to open the coffin.
For a moment, the monk broke out in cold sweat. He never expected that the Japanese would be so entangled. His whole body was tense and his mind was running rapidly.
