Then, after putting away their guns, the five men carried Thomson on their backs and put the pistols in a pocket. Turn around and run deeper into the woods.
Another fifteen people, each in groups of three, pushed a cart to a high embankment along the river not far away. Soon, the cars were pushed directly into the river.
In fact, no matter whether it is a river, lake or sea, there are certain things to pay attention to when pushing a car down.
If it is a normal kind of beach where you can go on vacation and play, it would be difficult to push the car into water that can submerge the roof of the car in this kind of terrain.
Because this kind of terrain is a slope, it is very difficult for people to push the car slowly along the slope into the water, and the water also foams over little by little.
But the place where Fan Keqin and the others found to push the cart was a river embankment, just like a small cliff. Below is a straight drop. So by pushing in like this, you only need to push the car down the small river embankment.
After watching the car sink into the water, Fan Keqin immediately gave instructions again, saying: "Everyone should disperse. No more than three people are allowed to travel together. Each of us will find a way to return to the headquarters."
The crowd immediately dispersed again. You can't make any plans at this time, because no one can guarantee that there won't be any accidents on the way back. Now they have changed their clothes and activated new certificates and so on.
But can you guarantee that nothing will happen to the people here on the way back? No one can guarantee this. Changing the attire and using a new ID can only improve the safety factor. But it's not 100% safe.
If someone here is really arrested, and has been tortured by the Japanese and puppets, he has become a traitor. Then no one knows how their companions returned. I don’t know the route I chose or the mode of transportation I used. Therefore, even if a traitor appears, the others will most likely be safe.
Fan Keqin didn't say that he must have left with Hua Zhang. Regardless of the others, they crossed the river directly and then looked for a secret place to walk.
What is a secret place? That is, you can take a normal road, but you must be able to hide on both sides of the road at any time. For example, there are ditches or long grass on both sides of the road, so that if you find any disturbance, you can quickly hide in it.
And such a road cannot be a single one, but most roads are like this. Otherwise, if there is a separate road, if the enemy is interested in searching, the chance of being discovered is very high. But most roads are like this, so it is impossible for the enemy to search every road.
Neither of them drives, they just walk on their legs. About evening, the two men had crossed a river and headed southwest again for several miles.
Fan Keqin estimated that he and Hua Zhang should have entered the Foshan area at this time. Of course, this does not refer to the urban area, but to the Foshan area.
In fact, the straight-line distance between Foshan and Guangzhou is only a dozen kilometers. If you meet someone with good physical strength, it may take most of the day to get there just by walking.
The average walking speed of humans is about 5.5 kilometers per hour. The straight-line distance between Foshan and Guangzhou is only more than ten kilometers in total.
Of course, if you walk in jungles, deserts, or other such terrain, your speed will be greatly reduced. Although it's not that exaggerated now, the traffic is really bad these days.
Guangzhou is very close to Foshan, so there are roads between the two places. But this road does not refer to the super-flat highways of later generations, or the all-white asphalt roads.
Furthermore, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang still need to keep a vigilant eye on their surroundings. Therefore, this further reduces their speed.
Look, it's going to be dark soon. Fan Keqin handed Hua Zhang an earthen pot he had stolen from a small fishing village and said, "Replenish some water. It will get dark soon. Let's try to walk a little longer."
"Well, I'm fine." Hua Zhang took the jar, took a sip of water, and returned it to Fan Keqin. The latter took it and took a sip, saying, "Just tell me when you're tired."
"No problem." Hua Zhang replied, and walked forward with Fan Keqin again.
Traveling is not a spring outing. You can talk and laugh along the way. Before I knew it, more than half of the journey had passed. It's completely different now. To save energy, it's impossible to talk all the time.
Of all animals, humans may have the lowest explosive power. It is incomparable to some ferocious beasts. But humans also have a huge physical advantage, and that is endurance, which surpasses almost all animals. If it's a short distance, humans really can't do it. But compared to long distances, even lions, tigers, leopards, antelopes and the like, animals that we know are very capable of running, are definitely not as good as humans.
So Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang walked for most of the night. Finally arrived in Foshan. Of course, they did not go inside, because although Foshan is not a small area, the urban area is not large these days.
If you really go in on a dark day, although it may seem hidden, walking at night itself is a hidden danger. If you really encounter a Japanese and puppet patrol while walking at night, the chance of an accident will be greatly increased.
Furthermore, they are not going to enter the city, but are going to Qingyuan by water here. So Fan Keqin took Hua Zhang and hid behind a ruined wall outside the city, not too far from the waterway, and endured it for half a night.
When it was early morning, the two of them came to the water first and washed their faces. After checking each other, there was nothing wrong with the appearance. So we came to a ferry by the water.
The waterways here are still very developed, so there are many small vendors and other things that depend on the water. Fan Keqin spent money to buy a small stack of pancakes and some pickles. The two of them had a bite to rest their stomachs by the ferry.
Everything is easy to do if you have money. I chose a passenger ship that had more than half of the passengers on it. I paid for the tickets and the two of us got on the ship as a young couple. At this time, it is actually basically safe.
However, the two of them were not careless. They pretended to be disguised and looked the same as the passengers on the ship. Just don't stand out.
The waterway is much faster, although Qingyuan is not far from Foshan. So by the afternoon, the two people had arrived in Qingyuan. The two of them kept going. After arriving in Qingyuan, they bought tickets and boarded the boat again. This time it was towards Yingde. I’m not talking about the UK and Germany here. The name of a place is Yingde.
In this way, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang spent several days walking along the waterway...
