Kagura Goro stopped.
Standing on the spot, he checked his position again, then exhaled, and then said calmly, "Then let's rest where we are for a while."
Kagura's temper is a bit irritable, which is a common problem among many Japanese officers.
But now Kagura did not get angry or beat his subordinates, which made the few surviving cavalry who had been following him breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they had only left Wild Wolf Slope for half an hour, the highly stressful march made their mental pressure extremely heavy. When they heard Kagura's order to rest where they were, their bodies instantly relaxed and they sat on the ground one after another. .
After Kagura also gave the order, she found a tree to lean against and planned to take a rest.
I habitually touched the sword at my waist, but it was empty, with nothing.
The knife he loved for more than ten years was gone.
A kettle was handed over, "Kagura-sama, have a drink of water."
Kagura took the kettle, "Your kettle was not confiscated!?"
"The Eighth Route Army gave us a few kettles and some noodles when they let us go."
Kagura took a sip of water, "It seems that the Eighth Route Army's policy is true."
The cavalryman didn't answer. At this time, he was afraid that if he accidentally said the wrong thing, he would be beaten!
The kettle was returned to the cavalryman, "Please arrange for someone to be on guard."
"Hi!" The cavalryman took the kettle and went down to arrange for men to stand guard.
Although he didn't know where the danger came from, the uneasiness surrounding Kagura never dissipated.
Leaning his back against the big tree, Kagura Goro narrowed his eyes and relaxed his body.
Starting from the camp, meeting the wolves, being captured, and then the strange duel, all this made him feel like a dream, very unreal.
Kagura narrowed her eyes as fatigue hit her.
Kubo Hiroshi was an ordinary cavalryman with the rank of sergeant. He was a civilian. It was precisely because he was a civilian that the task of guarding and sentry fell on him.
There is no complaint, the Japanese concept of hierarchy is engraved in his bones, and it is natural for him to do this kind of drudgery at this time.
I found a thick tree branch from the ground and shaped it into a stick, which could be used as a self-defense weapon.
Although primitive and crude, it is better than nothing.
With the weapon in his hand, Kubo Hiroshi felt confident. He carried the stick and carefully walked out of the camp where the cavalry rested, then found a tree and climbed up.
The light in the dark jungle was very poor, but Kubo Hiroki saw two green dots looming not far away, like fireflies erratic in midsummer.
Having just been attacked by a pack of wolves, he was particularly sensitive to this green light and shadow, so he immediately shouted, "Who!?"
"Woof woof~ woof~" a dog bark came from the direction of Green Dot.
When he heard that it was not a wolf howling, Kubo Hiroshi let out a long breath, and then said to himself, "It's a dog! I thought I met a wolf again."
The green light spot was getting closer and closer, which made Kubo Hiroki's heart that had just been relieved suddenly become nervous again.
He gripped the stick tightly, laid his body on the tree trunk, and then held his breath, waiting for the weird green light to approach.
The green light flashed a few more times and then disappeared.
After waiting for a while, when there was no reappearance, Kubo Hiroshi muttered in a low voice, "Are they really fireflies? Were they scared away by that dog just now? It's already autumn, and fireflies can still be seen. China is really strange. place."
Sitting up again, Kubo Hiroki changed his position in the tree. This was done to hide himself, and to make himself more comfortable.
But just as he adjusted his posture, he suddenly heard rustling under the tree. When he looked down, he found that he had been surrounded by several wild wolves.
Kubo Hiroshi was shocked when he saw the wild wolf. He was about to shout loudly, but suddenly he felt numbness in his waist, as if he had been hit by something, and then he fell under the tree.
It's not too high, just over two meters.
But he didn't jump down by himself, but was knocked down.
Therefore, this fall is not light!
After struggling to get up from the ground, Kubo Hiroki realized that the person who hit him just now was a black wild wolf.
The black wolf had one eye, and there was a ferocious scar where it lost its eye. At this moment, the wolf was staring at him closely with its one eye, and it made a low roar in its throat.
Not only one, but also other wild wolves, all staring at him eagerly.
"Wolf" Kubo Hiroshi didn't finish his words when he was jumped down by the gray wolf hiding in the dark and his neck was bitten off.
"Woof woof~ woof woof~" Big Big Wolf imitated the barking of dogs loudly, and then glanced at the wolves with a fierce look, as if to say, "It's really useless, I almost made this idiot scream."
The wolves lowered their heads, expressing their shame, and at the same time, they were amazed that their new king could understand foreign languages.
"Ouch~ow~" After Big Big Wolf roared a few times, the wolves immediately dispersed and disappeared into the darkness again.
Kagura Goro, who was dozing, suddenly stood up. He took a few quick steps and came to a napping cavalryman. He kicked him and asked, "Did you hear something calling just now?"
The cavalryman stood up, "I think I heard a dog barking, coming from the direction of Kubo Hiroshi!"
Kagura frowned, "Let's gather the troops! We'll leave immediately. This jungle makes me feel uneasy!"
"Hi!"
After receiving the order, the cavalryman put his fingers into his mouth and blew hard.
A loud whistle sounded, notifying the two Japanese soldiers who were out on guard duty to return to the team.
There were only a few people there, and they were all asleep, so Kagura quickly gathered the team. As the team gathered, he discovered that the two cavalrymen who had gone out for sentry had not returned to the team.
The feeling of danger was getting closer and closer, and at this moment Kagura even smelled the smell of death.
"Leave now!" Kagura gave the order!
"Hiroshi Kubo and the others haven't returned to the team yet! Aren't you waiting for them?"
"No wait! If my guess is correct, Kubo Hiroki and the others may have died for their country!" Kagura said and planned to lead the team away from this land of right and wrong.
pity!
late.
They can't leave anymore!
Under the moonlight, with the evening breeze, a stench hit his face, and the strong figure of the Big Gray Wolf appeared in front of him with the pack of wolves.
"Baga! Despicable Eight Road!" He roared immediately when he saw the wolves.
People are actually very weak.
Without weapons, they couldn't defeat a wild wolf, and now they were facing not one, but a group of them!
Kagura Goro and his cavalry turned around and wanted to leave from the other direction, but found that there were several wild wolves blocking their way in this direction.
One by one, wild wolves emerged from the darkness, roaring, staring at them with bloodthirsty greed.
At this point, these cavalrymen from Japan can confirm,
They are surrounded!
