Before the little devils at the foot of the mountain had time to carry out the second bombardment, Yu Chenglong led his brothers to retreat to the back mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they were about to enter the Great Smoke Pao ditch.
The tightly wrapped brothers quickly retreated towards the Dayanpaogou in the back mountain direction under the leadership of Jackie Chan, but the speed was not very fast, and everyone seemed a bit clumsy when running.
The closer we get to the bottom of the ditch, the more biting the wind becomes. No matter how thick we wear, the cold air penetrates us, and our whole body feels cold and tight. The name "Big Smoky Cannon ditch" is indeed well-deserved.
Before the team had all retreated to the bottom of the ditch, the sound of cannons rang out from the top of the hill. But after firing a few shots, they stopped again. The little devil may have discovered that Yu Chenglong and the others had retreated.
"Comrades, this sound of gunfire is the salute given by the little Japanese to us. Now we are going to lead the Japanese into the smoke ditch and freeze them to death!"
Political Commissar Jin shouted loudly to the soldiers who were still gathering together. She was already standing in the middle of the team, arranging for the soldiers to form groups of three and mobilize them before entering the Yanpaogou.
"The real moment to test us has arrived! This smoke ditch is even crazier than the little devil. Since ancient times, no one has dared to cross the smoke ditch on such a cold day.
We are going to cross it today and create an unprecedented feat. All the men in the Anti-Japanese War are heroes and brave enough to meet all challenges.
Now everyone checks their attire again, organizes their equipment, and according to the pre-arrangement, they form a group of three and look after each other and immediately enter the smoke cannon ditch! "
Under the setting sun, Dayanpaogou is bright white, and you can see as far as the eye can see. What comes to your ears is the scream of the cold wind mixed with the flying snow, and the cry of "Aoao" is going back and forth in Dayanpaogou.
There are almost no trees in Dayanpao Valley. Even the few sparse trees beside the ditch have been blown by the wind and changed their shapes, calling like horned dragons into the wind.
The soldiers were divided into groups of three, with their faces and hands covered, and guns slung across their backs. Under the leadership of Captain Fang, they bent down and entered the "Smoke Cannon Ditch" with difficulty, and followed the horizontal direction of the ditch to the wind outlet. Go.
The Japanese team arrived at the top of the mountain. In the afterglow of the setting sun, they saw dozens of anti-union fighters marching hard in the smoke cannon ditch. They were in groups of twos and threes, not forming a formation at all, and some rags were thrown everywhere.
"The Dragon Crossing the River is at the bottom of the ditch. They have no bullets and are too hungry to run away. Hurry up and catch the ones alive. There will be a big reward!"
The little devils and Jing'anjun both shouted and rushed down the mountain crazily. But as soon as they reached the bottom of the ditch, they felt the biting cold. Some people hesitated, especially the soldiers of the Jing'an Brigade.
"Hurry up and catch the dragon crossing the river, and you will be rewarded with five thousand oceans. The soldier will be the company commander, and the company commander will be the regiment leader. Take a half-year vacation, visit the brothel every day, and send two beautiful girls to accompany you." The officer supervising the battle shouted at the top of his lungs .
"Go after them all! If you don't go, you will die..."
The little devil fired in the air to supervise the battle, forcing the soldiers of the Jing'an Brigade to rush into the smoke cannon ditch. It was precisely in the face of huge temptation and persecution that many people tentatively entered the Dyanpaogou.
But once they entered the Yanpaogou, it didn't feel like that anymore. The weather was cold, the wind was strong, and it seemed like they couldn't use their strength. They saw that Yu Chenglong and the others were in front, but they couldn't catch them.
I originally wanted to pick up the gun and shoot, but my hands were already too cold to control. Most of the people were spinning awkwardly in place, unwilling to pursue any further, because the cold was biting and they were exhausted but not strong enough.
The little devil who was still on the mountain thought that the people below were not trying hard enough, so he was forced to rush down to catch up. In this way, groups of people came down, and almost half of them entered the "Smoke Cannon Ditch".
The sky was completely dark, and the howling of the wind and snow became more and more fierce. My hands, feet, limbs, and mouth were all inoperable, and my joints were numb. If I wanted to speak, others could neither understand nor hear me.
The soldiers of Yu Chenglong's brigade supported each other and marched in the deep snow and cold wind. Most of the time they had to crawl. Some fell down and could never get up again.
Yu Chenglong struggled to catch up with Squadron Leader Fang, signaling him to stop leading the team into the wind, and crossed the smoke cannon ditch. But even so, it was still windy and cold, making it unbearable.
Some lost feeling in their limbs and relied on will and instinct to move forward. Even if it is a small ridge, it is difficult to climb up.
Yu Chenglong, political commissar Jin Yunji, and the guards stayed behind and helped pull and push them up the ridge one by one. Of course, they were also extremely tired, and they relied on the support of their will.
Deputy Captain Zhang Daoxian, who was walking at the end of the team, was too cold to stand up. His guards and another soldier put a rope around his shoulders and pulled him forward.
Yu Chenglong took advantage of the weak moonlight to lie on the face of brother Zhang Daoxian and look at him, while deputy captain Zhang Daoxian motioned to Yu Chenglong to leave him alone.
Yu Chenglong waved his hand, and together with the other two people, he pulled Deputy Captain Zhang forward, and his guards followed behind, supporting Political Commissar Jin. You can still see fallen soldiers on the road, unable to get up again.
It was not a long journey, but it took Yu Chenglong and the others almost a whole night to get out of the smoke ditch. The Japanese team chasing behind them had already disappeared and had probably retreated.
Arriving at a ground shack built by Captain Fang when he was scouting the route. Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to light a fire, put the charcoal underneath into the underground bunk, and carry in those who were severely frostbitten like Deputy Captain Zhang.
The main method is to rub it with snow and use snow water to soften it. Boil more water for everyone to drink. I continued to work like this until almost evening. When I finished my work, I counted the number of people and found that sixteen brothers froze to death in Dayanpaogou. It was sad!
The team really didn't have the energy to leave anymore, so they stayed here for one night. A fire was lit outside and charcoal was lit in the shack. Everyone took turns to squeeze in and stay in the shack overnight.
The next day, Yu Chenglong personally went to the direction of Dayanpaogou to check the movements of the Japanese. He could no longer see any trace of the Japanese team, only two black figures were seen moving towards this direction in Dayanpaogou.
Yu Chenglong knew that they were soldiers who stayed to investigate the enemy's situation, so he took people to respond. At night, Yu Chenglong and the others returned to the shack.
"The Japs really withdrew this time, not even a single reconnaissance team was left behind. The Japs didn't even think that they were not as prepared as we were. They froze to death and suffered frostbite on their old noses in Dayanpaogou. What a relief!"
This bunch of idiots rushed in lightly, and they went in and killed the idiots one by one. By the time the little devil realized it, it was already too late, and everyone who went in was frozen and couldn't get out.
The little devil sent people in again to drag people out, but they couldn't be dragged out, and many people didn't come out. There was no other way, the little devil had no choice but to run away in embarrassment! "
After slowly regaining their composure, they left the reconnaissance soldiers to report the situation. The two of them were also freezing. Although it was daytime and they chose the leeward route, they were still almost frozen.
