Thomas said: "Hu jumped with a parachute before us. Let's look over there. If we can't find it, there's nothing we can do. It's best if we can find him. He's Chinese. At least it's much more convenient than us. Get acquainted with this place."
Jack affirmed: "Okay, let's leave quickly." As they spoke, the two of them started on the road, heading towards Shanghai. In fact, they were in a hurry when they skydived, because on the plane, although they were a formation of three planes, when they were hit, how could they say that I was looking at other people? They were all busy doing their own thing. Yes, control the plane and see if it can be pulled up. In other words, take a rough look at the damage to your plane and the current flying altitude.
It's impossible to say that he keeps staring at his teammates, and he doesn't have the time. Therefore, when Hu Nan was skydiving, these two people did not see clearly. But after they parachuted, while Tiao was in the air, he looked around and roughly saw Hu Nan to the southwest of them, with a lot of umbrella flowers floating in the air.
However, the two foreigners were affected by the wind and parachuting one after another, so they almost got entangled in the end. So when they headed southwest at this time, they could only look for it in the dark, and they really weren't 100% sure. You know, although the speed of airplanes in this era is not as high as that of later generations, they are still hundreds of kilometers per hour. If you are slower for one second, you may miss it by a few thousand miles. It may be extreme, but the difference will be several miles after landing. , but there is no exaggeration at all.
After crossing a small ditch, Thomas suddenly squatted on the ground and waved his hand to stop Jack from moving forward. Seeing him like this, the latter quickly looked forward and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
"There's someone in front." Thomas pointed forward and said, "I just saw a shadow shaking."
Jack said: "We can't stay where we are for too long, there will be Japanese ground troops searching for us. Or what you just saw is the Japanese ground troops. We have to leave here."
Thomas crouched down and looked at the surrounding terrain, and said: "I will go back and squat on the edge of the small river where it is not easy to be found. The front is still too empty, and we can't go forward. Back to Observe after the river to see who the shadow is, in case it is Hu. If not, we will go west along the river first. Have you seen that small forest before? We can go to that small forest. The woods, use the woods as cover, and then go to Shanghai."
Jack agreed with his method, and the two of them crouched down, observing the situation ahead and retreating. Fortunately, the small river they crossed before was not counted, and soon the two of them had reached the edge. Thomas and Jack entered the water without any hesitation. Speaking of which, this creek is really not too deep. When they first came here, they had already discovered that even in the middle of the creek, the depth was only 1.4 to 1.5 meters at most. The edge is even shallower, only about 1.2 meters, or about 1.1 meters.
In order to hide their bodies, the two people could only assume a half-crouching posture, with their heads exposed, and walked a while to the west. Then Thomson stopped, used his hands to pick up the mud and grass stems on the edge of the river, stuck his head out, and looked ahead.
Jack knew what he was observing. If there was a shadow just now, then unless the shadow was not moving at this time, it should be coming.
They were right, and after observing for less than a minute, they saw a person emerging from the withered grass in the area where they had retreated. This man was wearing a shit-yellow military uniform, holding a rifle and a steel helmet. There was no doubt that it was the imp, and what frightened Jack and Thomas was that shortly after this man came out, the second, third, and fourth, a total of twelve imps, also came out one after another.
The two people were breathing a little quickly, but they both controlled their voices deliberately. In addition, the weather was now in season, and the water was still quite cold. This made the two of them even more breathless. When the other party came out, Jack just hunched over and carefully searched forward, not walking too fast. He lowered his voice and said, "What should I do?"
Thomas said: "This is just a small group of enemies. There must be more behind them. We have to avoid them first. Follow me and go west along the river, move sideways, and avoid them. But don't send out water. Voice."
Jack nodded immediately. Then he started following Thomas, in the water, and started to move forward. It is inconvenient to move in the water, but fortunately, when your legs and feet step in the water, there is no sound even if you step hard. Therefore, although the movement speed of the two people was still not very fast, they still avoided the skirmishing search formation of these little devils when they arrived next to the small river ditch.
When these little devils arrived at the river, they also squatted down. Several of them were watching the situation on the other side of the ditch. There were also a few squatting on the edge of the river ditch, and then observing the situation of the river ditch from left to right. At this moment, Thomas and Jack, who were less than fifty meters away from them, were clinging tightly to the mud at the edge of the river, with only their eyes exposed.
Then hold your breath and watch everything happen. When you can't hold it any longer, get up a little, breathe through your nose, and then slowly lower it down a little, still only showing two eyes. In addition, the most important thing was that Jack had an idea. When the two of them were close to the edge of the river, he grabbed a handful of mud from the edge of the river and wiped it on his face. When Thomson saw him again, he followed suit and made the same mud disguise for himself.
Therefore, after observing for a while, the little devil didn't find anything wrong. So the leading sergeant looked left and right, then waved his hand forward. These little devils also entered the river. If they immediately searched both sides, Thomson and Jack might not be able to escape this disaster with their mud camouflage. However, they had previously determined that the plane was heading away from Shanghai. Therefore, the parachuting pilot might have run further away in order to escape. Unexpectedly, they both came in this direction instead. Therefore, this error in judgment caused these little devils to go into the water one by one. Not long after, they went up again on the other side and continued to search in the direction where the two people parachuted. So I just missed them.
