The deafening sound of the waterfall is the continuous display of the power of nature.
The mist filled the air, but there were still a few female soldiers drying their wet military uniforms.
To the north, 200 meters away from the waterfall, there is a small piece of flat land that has been cleared. It is not actually flat ground. At best, there are no dense shrubs on the ground.
A panting soldier from the special service regiment ran over from the north: "Report! Company Commander Hu, Squad Leader Wang, we heard gunfire from the north."
The atmosphere at the scene immediately changed. The surrounding generals immediately stood up, pulled their guns and bolts, and cleaned up the guys on the ground. Without waiting for Hu Yi's order, they started to move consciously.
"How far away is the gunshot?" Hu Yi was a little confused. Could it be that there were Eighth Route friendly troops ahead? Should it be considered a good thing for completing the task?
"In the mountains, we can't see what's coming from the valley to the east, but I estimate it won't be more than three miles away!" After the soldier finished speaking, he pulled out the kettle and took a big sip, stretched out his sleeves and wiped it: "Pan The platoon leader and the others encountered a dense bush over there, and they were cutting that way. They were still about four to five hundred meters away from the fork in the road! They stopped because of the sound of gunfire."
"Sanli? Why didn't we hear it here?" Luo Fugui, who came over at some point, asked.
"The rushing sound of the waterfall here is too loud. It's normal if you can't hear it." The soldier looked at Luo Fugui like an idiot.
"Squad leader Wang, take a few people with us and set off immediately." Hu Yi thought for a while and finally gave the order: "Mule, take Tian Sanqi and Li Xiang to join a class, and bring your flashlight. Set off immediately, while the others wait and be arranged by the injured Chen Chong to stay hidden."
...
Dark clouds covered the sky, and night fell. A group of Japs carrying torches headed west from the valley to the end of the road. A small river appeared in front of them. The sound of water flowing clearly told visitors that the river was fast.
After a while, the Japs squad leader appeared, and at least one squad of Japs lined up in a long line. As usual, no puppet soldiers appeared.
Since the start of the sweep, we have been marching in the mountains, day and night, taking some time to sleep for a while every day. The mountains and mountains are full of teams searching for the Eighth Route Army.
There were too few people on the Eighth Route Army. I heard from friendly troops that the results of the battle were brilliant, so I just waited for them all by myself. I didn’t catch anything. I led a small team. I finally met the team in front of me. They had wolves and dogs. There was no need to worry about them in the dark night. Can run.
This confidence does not come from his own tracking ability, but from the fact that this mountain has been surrounded by imperial warriors.
The smaller the team, the easier it is to dodge because they have fewer bonds.
The terrain in the mountainous area is complicated. It would be impossible to annihilate all the people in front of them if we only have our own team. Since they are turtles in a jar, they should have the awareness to be turtles.
Balu was trying his best to escape in front, but the dog he was taking had an extremely sensitive nose. Balu hid several times but was found every time. Is it possible to survive his pursuit?
The Japs were actually very tired. It was not their fault. Ping Jin was training on the plains. In an environment they were not familiar with, he was able to keep chasing the target. At the same time, it was also treated as a mountain combat training. Therefore, the Japs Didn't try his best.
This is not a chance given by the Japanese to Captain Chen. At least in the mountainous area, the Japanese have short legs and short legs, so they will definitely not be able to run eight routes. However, Captain Chen has been moving and blocking all day long for several days in a row. He has barely slept a wink. His physical strength has reached its limit early. Relying on faith, the bullets were basically used up and the Japs were still not caught up, which showed that the Eighth Route Army's physical strength was not necessarily worse than that of the Japs.
What is really bad is the equipment, the training, and the culture!
The team stopped silently by the river, standing tiredly. The second lieutenant looked westward with the help of a torch. He couldn't see anything on the dark mountain wall.
The constant sound of the river gave him some hallucinations. Did the Eighth Route Army disappear?
"Report, Eighth Road has lost its trace. Eighth Road's footprints were found by the river, and they disappeared here. The reconnaissance on the other side of the river was completed, and nothing was found... Because the other side of the river is full of dense forests, and it is impossible for people to get in."
The second lieutenant didn't think there was anything strange. The Eighth Route Army also disappeared several times last night: "Hmm, interesting Eighth Route Army! Did they go along the river?"
"Report, there is no road to walk here. If the Eighth Route Army wants to travel from here, it can only go through the river... This is unlikely, and it is no different from committing suicide!"
"Immediately send people to the friendly defense area nearby to find out which friendly forces are searching in the south."
The second lieutenant did not trust anyone. According to the plan for this raid, all troops were not allowed to change their marching routes at will. Troops above the squadron level were required to report their positions to the brigade headquarters at any time. After reporting to the headquarters in Lu'an, the headquarters had been conducting comprehensive Command and deploy.
In the river in the valley, several figures floated in the water, colliding with stones in the water from time to time.
The soldier from the secret service group was not stupid. Before entering the water, he strung together the soldiers' ration bags and tied them to everyone's arms. He hoped that maybe during the process of floating down, he would have a chance to catch the old man hanging in the water. Such things as vines or dead trees are not uncommon in the mountains.
He was the only one in the team who met with Company Commander Chen. Company Commander Chen was not a native of the Dabie Mountains. He came from a province in the south, and his water quality was actually not that good.
It was precisely because the two of them knew how to swim that they narrowly escaped disaster.
The two of them, one at the head and one at the tail, floated in the water for more than a mile. Finally, they appeared in a place where the water flow slowed down a little. The two passed through a large rock in the water on both sides and stopped in the middle of the river.
The river was not wide at all. The two of them slowly woke up the group of grasshoppers who were tied up. However, there was still a soldier who was not breathing. Company Commander Chen looked carefully. When the soldier passed a stone in the river, his head fell. He was hit hard against the stone.
The stone that had been washed away by water for many years had lost its edges and corners, but it still took the life of the soldier.
Such an accident still brings tears to the eyes of the soldiers who are used to seeing life and death.
The soldier of the Secret Service Company, the leader, was waving his bayonet along the edge of the bushes that were all stone walls.
There is not much soil in the mountains at all, and I don't know how these shrubs grow tenaciously here.
Company Commander Chen held the fallen soldier who had no body temperature. There was no sadness or other expression on his face.
I have experienced too much in the past few days, and there are thousands of comrades who have suffered the same fate as myself. I once again escaped from danger and was lucky enough to save my life, but my heart was not as excited as the soldiers.
I don’t know what will greet me tomorrow and what difficulties I will face.
This is just an episode on the way to transfer, but few people have such luck.
In the headquarters' breakout, civilian personnel, plus some ordinary people, numbering at least tens of thousands of people, have been fighting with the Japs since he came in for reinforcements. They have been wandering in the mountains for so many days without breaking out of the Japs' encirclement. All circumstances indicate that the Japs are The sweep back was unprecedented, and the amount of troops invested was far beyond my imagination!
A few days ago, I saw with my own eyes a comrade who was forced to die. In order not to be captured by the enemy, he actually jumped off a cliff hundreds of feet high! Hundreds and thousands...
In order to stop the Japs, the soldiers held grenades and died together with the enemy...
Holding the rifle without bullets, he resolutely launched a countercharge against the enemy...
Use the red tassel gun, use the machete, use stones, use...
The difficulties before him could not shake his determination at all.
