It's getting dark soon.
The desolate valleys are no longer as tranquil as Japan's.
Gunshots echoed everywhere.
Takahashi Yilang was like a frightened bird.
Stopped again and got into a bush.
The birds were frightened again in the place they just passed.
After emerging from another place, he was sure that someone was following him!
I want to understand one thing, Tubalu let him go on purpose!
They want to find the advance team through themselves.
Now, even he himself doesn’t know where the advancing team is!
You can't die!
The family spent so much money cultivating themselves!
We must leave the mountainous area as soon as possible, and then we will find a way to arrange a fake death situation.
Then reappearing with a new identity, there will be no flaws in doing this kind of thing in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
As long as he waits until dark and the moon rises to get rid of the people who are following him, he has absolute confidence to get rid of the Eighth Route Army following him.
There are Imperial troops everywhere in the mountains.
You must make sure not to meet any imperial soldiers before returning to the county!
So, after hearing gunshots and explosions ahead.
This thing was originally going east.
He changed direction again and climbed up the mountain ridge to the south.
Kuai Legs, who had been observing, was stunned: "Hey, why did that kid go south?"
"Perhaps he is a lone deserter." Twenty-one stood up: "We'd better leave here immediately..."
Kuaishan nodded: "We are going east, do you want to come with us? It's better to have more people to take care of us."
"Are there any Japs in the east?"
"There are Japs everywhere in the mountains these two days. If you are afraid, let's stay away from each other."
"I'm afraid of nothing, I'm just afraid that there are no Japanese in the east..."
"Hey, I think I have quite a lot of combat experience..."
"You guys are pretty good at running..."
"Brother Quick Legs, there are three rifles on the mountain ridge..."
"Aren't you satisfied with carrying a submachine gun? We will come back anyway..."
Twenty-one believes that it is safest to go eastward along this valley, because... there are ghosts in the west, and you may encounter ghost messengers or even heavy trains at any time.
Kuaishan thought that taking this route was the safest, but in fact, when Twenty-one said insurance, he meant that he would definitely run into the Japanese!
Juechen didn't go very far before he couldn't bear it. After all, he had too much to carry.
The three of them paused for a while and decided that each of them would have a submachine gun and a rifle.
The Japanese lunch boxes are simply discarded on the roadside and will be picked up again when the opportunity arises.
The cowhide medicine box plucked from the body of a Japanese medic on Kuai Leg's back...
...
The sky finally turned dark and the moon had already risen.
Returning the same way was equivalent to following the retreating Japanese soldiers, which was naturally inappropriate.
The vanguard squad, half of which were militiamen, split into two at the fork in the road.
The eight warriors pulled away and continued south.
The two soldiers followed the two militiamen who were familiar with the mountain roads and turned to the southwest path.
Qi Lao Qi led eight soldiers and followed the leading soldiers onto the southwest path.
Luo Fugui cursed all the way.
Xiao Hongying was angry: "I didn't ask you to follow me, who are you howling for?"
"If Boss Hu hadn't asked me to come, do you think I would do such a thankless job?"
"How much money did you get from this trip?"
"Shit, I gave it all to Li Huanzhang in exchange for gold... This is not well thought out..."
"What's the meaning?"
"Think about it, if you exchange so many gold bars, sooner or later the news will leak out..."
Xiao Hongying shook her head: "You only know now? Sooner or later, you will be searched by the vixen..."
The team went southwest around the mountain ridge and passed through the deep valley.
The gunshots that had been going off for several nights seemed to be showing signs of rest.
The team stopped at a stream with thick brush.
The old bandit Qi decided to light a fire here and cook some hot porridge before going on his way.
No one objected.
The soldiers of the Ninth Battalion, who had only slept for half a day, lay on their marching blankets and looked at the stars in the sky silently.
The moonlight illuminated the sky, but the light did not shine into the valley.
Several soldiers jumped directly into the cold stream to bathe.
Xiao Hongying was not taboo at all, but several female militiamen began to curse indiscriminately.
After the old bandit Qi threw a few stones into the pool and cursed him, the naked soldiers in the water quickly went ashore, picked up their military rifles, and hurried downstream.
There are pools of water everywhere in the valley. Isn’t it easy to find a bathing place?
Xiao Hongying followed the female militiaman and hurriedly washed her face in the pool, her wet hair sticking to her face.
The stream was cold, and Xiao Hongying couldn't help but shiver.
Platoon leader Hongying, wipe your face quickly...
A female militiaman handed over a towel...
"It's cold at night in the mountains. Dry yourself and move around quickly..."
Rumble...
There is a faint sound of explosion from the south...
Except for the militiamen who looked up at the sky, no one in the valley paid any attention to the other nine battalion soldiers.
The sound of the explosion was too far away, judging by my feeling... it must be at least thirty miles away!
Old Bandit Qi unfolded the map Xiao Hongying gave him by the fire and marked the source of the sound.
He hurriedly poured a few mouthfuls of hot porridge into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls of dry food, and immediately ordered Li Xiang and Luo Fugui to get ready to go!
Maybe they all think that Qi Laoqi and Hu Yi are the same kind of people.
Therefore, there was no psychological pressure at all from squad leader Qi to give orders to the two commanders of the ninth battalion.
And Li Xiang and Luo Fugui also obeyed the instructions of the squad leader who was two levels younger!
There was no inconsistency in the team at all.
Xiao Hongying tied a high ponytail on the back of her head. Seeing that Old Bandit Qi had finished the arrangements, she took a square step alone and approached Old Bandit Qi and stood three meters away: "Let's go this way. If we miss the people who are coming back, what to do?"
"It's totally unnecessary for you to worry. The class going south will encounter them..."
"What if they catch up with that team of little devils?"
"The Japs won't enter the mountains until they are in a large group. Those dozens of Japs will definitely run faster than a rabbit..."
"It will take at least two hours to take a detour from here!"
"What does that have to do with it? Anyway, we should be there by the time the rooster crows."
"What if the Japanese who surrounded us leave?"
"Leaving? It's just a trip in vain."
"Tell me, did the Japanese attack Tiger Lie La?"
"I dare not say anything else. Anyway, those who have been fed water by us will definitely be poisoned..."
"That's not poison, it's bacteria."
"It's almost the same anyway, as long as the meaning is the same."
The team started again.
In the middle of the night, after crossing several more mountain ridges, the team finally circled back to the wounded people of the Ninth Battalion, preparing to fight the Japanese to the opposite side of the village.
The physical strength of the militiamen was no worse than that of the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion. They followed them up the ridge, sitting or squatting and looking at the mountainside opposite.
A raging fire was burning in the village on the mountainside opposite.
Everyone was talking: "The damned Japanese set fire to the house again..."
"The devils are so abominable..."
"Fortunately, the villagers were transferred in advance."
"That's right, otherwise God knows how many people would die..."
"Do you think the Japs are still in the village?"
"The village was all emptied out when we left. There was no one left. The Japanese must have left long ago..."
"I heard that the Japanese sometimes pretend to leave after setting fires, then hide in the dark and wait for us to go back to put out the fires, and then take the opportunity to kill people..."
"Then we must be careful..."
"We are not scouts, we just need to follow the command of comrades from the Ninth Battalion..."
"Why do you think Captain Li's face is so burned?"
"I didn't know. If you have the ability, ask yourself..."
The three soldiers each led two militiamen and slowly slipped down the valley.
A set of alerts.
Another group went to the opposite village to scout.
Another group of tasks is to climb the ridge on the opposite side to see if the Japanese are still in the valley.
It was not difficult to find a Japanese camp with a fire.
There must also be hidden sentries placed near the Japanese camp. It is very difficult to approach the Japanese camp silently.
not long time.
The soldiers who went to the village to conduct reconnaissance took Lao Zhang, who stayed near the village, panting and climbed up the western ridge.
Lao Zhang didn't wait for anyone to ask, and immediately walked towards Luo Fugui: "Captain Luo, the Japanese have been staying in the valley to the west without moving, and... when it got dark, a battalion of puppet troops came... those damned The puppet troops set fire to the village."
