Thanks to the efforts of the soldiers of the special service group, they were temporarily freed from the Japanese pursuit. The river flowed under their feet, covering up the sound of chopping bushes.
The group of people, who had been tense for the past few days and suddenly relaxed, collapsed on a few rocks. The Japanese were still behind them, so they had to brace themselves up. Their stomachs were growling, and then they remembered that they had not eaten anything all day. Extremely hungry.
I feel dizzy and have acid reflux in my stomach. I can’t remember how many battles I have endured. I braved the sun and the wind, climbed mountains and ridges, and dried clothes that got wet from the rain directly with my body. If I hadn’t had A strong heart and a spirit that is not afraid of sacrifice have sustained me all the way, but it has collapsed long ago.
Along the way, they were constantly blocking. After completing the cover mission for the last time, they began to hide from the pursuers. There were too many Japs in the mountains. The front and rear teams kept changing. Every time they changed, there would be a few fewer people in the team. Until now, Found out there were only five left!
There was also the body of a soldier next to him. It was a pity that he died. He died when he was about to escape from the pursuers. Maybe he was too tired. There was a moon in the sky, but it was covered with clouds. In the dark night of the river, he gave up his young life. .
The soldiers of the special agent company stood up straight from the bushes. To the north, the Japs had lit a fire by the river. They could see the light but not the Japs. There were noisy sounds from the other side, mixed in with the rushing of the river. Faintly audible.
He stood there like that for a while, still not chopping the bushes in front of him.
Similarly, in the light of the fire, the unwilling Japanese second lieutenant stood by the river, gnashing his teeth as he watched. After days of pursuit, he was also exhausted. After resting for a while, he seemed to have regained some strength. The river was rushing, and he knew that the eight routes escaped along the river. , but had to issue an order to stop advancing.
No matter what, it was impossible to fight against these Tubal soldiers. The Japanese second lieutenant began to roar ferociously at the mountain wall in front of him, and the sound spread far into the valleys on both sides.
There are just a few Eighth Route Army soldiers, so there is no need to pursue them. Even if they go south along the river, they will not be able to escape the encirclement of the imperial army.
For the vast mountains and high mountains everywhere, the Japanese claim to be surrounded, but tens of thousands of Japanese are actually just blocking the main road. How can the Japanese block all the rugged paths, hunting trails, and animal trails that few people travel?
Since we can't catch up, there's no need to waste any more time. It's already dark anyway, and we haven't received any new orders. What else can we do if we don't camp?
There was no need for the second lieutenant's order at all. Several sergeants had already led their men to set up pots and stoves next to the rising fire. A stack of lunch boxes was placed on a few stones to boil water and make porridge.
The wind began to blow in the mountains, and the dark clouds in the sky were constantly changing and slowly being blown away.
A bright light began to appear in the sky. It is now the middle of the lunar month. The moon has risen long ago. At this time, it has slowly risen into the sky. It is blocked by the cliff and the hazy moon cannot be seen in the canyon. Maybe it will not come until midnight. Zhongtian.
It seems to be eleven or twelve. The mountain wind has blown away the dark clouds and taken away the fog in the valley. The cold light shines on the tops of the mountains. The coldness makes the barren mountains whimper quietly in the mountain wind.
The four figures were shirtless and sitting in the bushes where the moonlight could not reach them. All of them were hunched over and completely listless.
Not long after, a soldier's voice sounded from the front: "There is a situation."
The team was immediately in disarray, exhausted, grabbing their guns and throwing on their clothes, and hurried about in the darkness.
"what happened?"
The soldier crouched and came to the four people who were exchanging hands and digging into their clothes: "There is a road in the bushes in front. Those bushes must have been cut down recently. The fragrance of the plants after they were cut is still there. It has not been more than one day!"
"Wait, what do you mean, you mean there is a road ahead?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. In the deep mountains and old forests, a road suddenly appeared. They didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
The first thing the platoon leader thought of was whether he had encountered a monster?
The tired team finally struggled to stand up. Company Commander Chen stabilized his body and stood tall: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that we can't avoid! There are Japanese soldiers behind us. The only way to break out of the encirclement now is to go south. We have all died once. What are you afraid of? Even if there are Japs, maybe they don’t have dogs?"
The team set out on the road with difficulty, and the group continued to march arduously in the dark at the foot of Yuelong Mountain and through the bushes.
Worried about encountering enemies, the group did not dare to light torches and groped forward in the dark with their hands wrapped in cloth. The soldiers of the special service group were very aware of the situation in the mountains. If they were accidentally cut by a cut and poisonous branch, If the skin is damaged, the consequences will be serious. Of course, if it is just those thatch, you are naturally not afraid.
My clothes were soaked by the river water, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to my body. In such a situation, even if I had any matches, they would have been used up long ago. I couldn't light the torch. The small trees and rattans in the bushes were still alive, and they had only experienced heavy rain. It is impossible to ignite the dead wood. The most important thing is that there are pursuers behind, and the future is slim.
The moon slowly climbed up to the top of the mountain. The moonlight crossed the top of the mountain and shone on the mountain wall. It slowly went down and gradually illuminated the valley, indicating that the weather would definitely be good tomorrow.
The moon is like a steamed bun, it would be great if it could fall down, thought the hungry row leader.
A valley full of shrubs quietly emerged from the darkness, with an artificial path along the way. The chopped shrubs were basically still alive, and the branches and leaves had not had time to dry up, indicating that someone had been here before, maybe not long ago. forward.
The sound of the water in the river may have become louder, but it must be an illusion!
If they couldn't find anything to eat anymore and had to rely on drinking water, they might not be able to make it to dawn tomorrow. The team, which had been hungry for almost two nights, could no longer resist the temptation of hope and staggered forward.
It's not an illusion, the sound of water in front has become louder!
Company Commander Chen looked at the soldiers of the special service group in front of him in confusion: "Let me ask, is there the cliff you mentioned in front of you? Why do I feel that it is the sound of a waterfall?"
Without looking back, the soldier from the special service group who was groping in front replied: "It should be good. We'll rest when we get there!"
"Don't you think there are some evil ways along this road?"
"Yes, but no matter how evil the sect is, what does it mean to those of us who were killed from the gate of hell?"
"What I mean is that this road cannot appear for no reason. This road has not appeared for a long time. It needs to be figured out no matter what."
"Get it figured out? How to do it? The enemy is going behind, and the situation ahead is unknown. There is a glimmer of hope in this situation. The most important thing is that there is absolutely no way the enemy will open such a road!"
What you said seems to make sense, but if the Japanese discover this road, it will be all over. The platoon leader couldn't help but interject.
So what if it's over? Hide in the bushes and wait, starving to death? What if you meet one of your own?
Slowly follow the bottom of the cliff and turn around a boulder.
The soldier from the special agent company in front of him suddenly stopped, raised his hand as a sign of stopping, turned around and whispered: "There is fire ahead, there is a situation!"
Everyone slowly came forward and looked at the fire in the depression of the mountain wall under the cliff in the distance, in the bushes, and leaking some light in the mountain wind!
"There must be someone!"
"You need to tell me, the snoring is so loud, who can't hear it?" The platoon leader listened to the snoring mixed with the huge sound of the river!
The team stopped at the edge of the cliff, dumbfounded, and suddenly stopped. They found that their feet hurt, their legs hurt, and their whole body hurt when they stood. Although they were too sleepy to open their eyes, too hungry to talk, and too tired to stop walking, the sudden appearance of the fire gave them a sense of pain. Great hope for a tired team.
A soldier suddenly shouted: "There is a situation!"
The exhausted and sluggish team all fell down on the ground with a crash.
Under the moonlight, two figures walked out of the fire, still carrying things in their hands, and slowly walked towards them along the path they had cut out.
Company Commander Chen and the soldiers from the special service group were upset because the two people coming over were actually using flashlights!
My heart is crying, my heart is sinking!
