After resting for more than ten minutes, eating some dry food and drinking some water, we embarked on the march again. Although the soldiers were very tired, when they thought that they could reach Tongdeng in a few more hours and meet with our army, the soldiers cheered up and encouraged each other to walk northward.

The mountain road gradually became narrow and steep. After a while, there was no road left. We walked into the forest again. According to the guide, we had already left the golden road at this time, and from now on we had to rely on the direction of the daqing to explore the forest.

In some ways, I think this is still a good thing. At least in this forest, the Vietnamese army could not control our army's march route very smoothly and set up ambush on the way forward in advance. But on the other hand, the steep mountain road and the green and dense forests all over the mountains undoubtedly made the soldiers worse.

"Liu Yun! Ariel's Day..." I bent down and tied up my loose shoelaces. As soon as I raised my head, I saw two familiar figures in front of me. Who else would be if it were Liu Yun and Ariel's Day?

"Captain Cui!" Liu Yun saw me, and his originally tired face suddenly became energetic as if he had received a dose of stimulant. He turned around and asked after a few steps, "Captain Cui, I just wanted to find you! Your injury is fine!"

"It's okay!" I replied. In order to prove that the injuries were indeed nothing serious, I deliberately waved my arm.

My injuries did not hurt my muscles and bones at this time, and most of them had scars. Only the injuries on my left shoulder were still a little painful, but it was not a big problem.

"No! Let me check it!" But even so, Liu Yun still refused to give up.

"I said you should save money!" Yichen beside him sarcastically said: "If there is any problem with Captain Cui's injury, can he knock down the second battalion commander down yesterday? How are you like yourself, still caring about others?"

"Um!" I was stunned when I heard this and asked, "You can still bear it!"

"I'm fine!" Yichen glanced at Liu Yun and said, "It's Liu Yun, she fell on the road!"

"It's okay! It's okay!" Liu Yun glared at Ariel fiercely and said, "It's just a little bit of skin that I've bandaged!"

"It's fine!" I nodded. I believe Liu Yun is really fine. For me now, there is basically no need to worry if I can still move.

Then I said to Liu and Lin apologetically: "Actually, I really should have sent you away soon, but I didn't expect that now..."

"How can you blame you?" Liu Yun retorted: "You didn't expect things to develop like this, right? Besides, the soldiers of the 608th Regiment are all thanking us! They said... If it weren't for us and Battalion Commander Cui, they would have been surrounded by the Yue Japanese now and would never be able to go back!"

I couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said speechlessly. The second half of Liu Yun's sentence might be correct, but the first half... I knew that things would develop like this. In fact, I also thought about sending away the two female soldiers Liu and Lin first, but if I did this, I felt even more guilty towards the soldiers.

Although I know very well that if I do this, the soldiers will not have any objection. After all, Liu Yun and Ariel Chen are female soldiers. No matter how convenient I open the back door to the female soldiers, no one will object or be unwilling to do it on this battlefield, but I can't pass my own level.

"Captain Cui!" Liu Yun then looked around again and asked with some concern: "You said... can we get out of this forest?"

"Don't worry!" I smiled relaxedly: "It won't be a problem, the Japanese are behind us! They can't catch up with us!"

"Of course there will be nothing wrong!" I heard Ariel Yichen laughing in Liu Yun's ear and said, "Your sweetheart is so good at fighting, at worst, just let him take you out all the way!"

"You..." Liu Yun's cheeks turned red like an apple when Ariel's words were said, and he only saw Ariel's laughing aside.

I couldn't help but sigh in secret. If I really encountered this situation, how could I have such great ability alone!

"Captain Cui..." At this time, Al Ziri's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "I don't know how to walk the road ahead!"

"I'll be here soon!" As I said that, I nodded to Liu Yun and Ariel, and hurried to the front of the team.

A few minutes later, when I arrived at the team, I saw Deputy Commander Liang and Commander Wu also there. The two were holding telescopes and looking forward, and from time to time, frowning and talking to each other.

"Captain Cui!" Al Ziri, who was covered in camouflage and carrying a sniper rifle, discovered me first, so everyone turned their attention to me.

"What's the situation?" I asked in a hurry.

"Look..." Deputy Commander Liang didn't say anything, but just raised his head in the direction we were moving forward.

I raised my telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Deputy Commander Liang, and soon I realized that what appeared in front of me was a narrow canyon, with very steep cliffs on both sides. Looking along the direction of the canyon, I found that it turned a few turns and turned toward the south very strangely... In other words, there was no road ahead of us. If we insisted on walking this canyon, we might be getting further and further away from our motherland.

"Are we going the wrong way?" I asked the guide beside me.

"No!" The guide shook his head and then explained: "Actually, there is no road in the old forest of Moshan Mountain, so how can you go wrong... Sometimes this happens in Vietnam. It is because these unclimbable cliffs are blocking in front of you, so you have to go around a big circle..."

Commander Wu said with some concern: "Not to mention whether the Vietnamese army was ambushing in this canyon. If you walk like this, you will definitely waste a lot of time on the road. We are likely to be caught up by the Vietnamese Japanese!"

"Is there any other way?" I asked the guide.

"No one can tell!" said the guide embarrassedly.

Actually, I also know that it will be the answer. People who have never seen the Vietnamese jungle may not understand it, but those who have seen it will know that there are many mountains here that have no way to go. Even if you forcefully climb it, it may take several days to climb a mountain. At that time, we are afraid that we will only be surrounded by the Vietnamese army and become savages.

"Then there is no other choice!" I said gritting my teeth: "Crossing the canyon, in order to ensure the troops pass smoothly, my fifth company and the members of the shooting team walked in front!"

"How can this be done?" Deputy Commander Liang hurriedly opposed: "This was originally a difficulty for our army. Now it has already implicated you. How can you still let you be ahead!"

"That's it!" Commander Wu also snatched up and said, "I'll arrange the troops immediately, and I won't let you go..."

"Captain Wu!" I stopped Wu Songhe and said, "This is the battlefield, I'm not polite to you! There may be Vietnamese troops guarding the canyon now, and they don't know where we are going to pass, so we can only use the most elite troops to rush over with lightning speed to ensure that other troops can pass smoothly, otherwise this is a dead end!"

Commander Wu and Deputy Commander Liang looked at each other, then nodded in agreement. Deputy Commander Liang only patted me on the shoulder and said, "We owe you too much!"

It should be said that Deputy Commander Liang is really polite. Let’s not talk about our comrades-in-arms, and we were already sitting on the same boat at this time, so there is actually no problem with whom owes anyone. However, this also shows that Deputy Commander Liang is more concerned about emotions.

Dozens of soldiers from the fifth company and five members of the shooting team set off quickly. In order to achieve a certain effect of confusing the Vietnamese army, we also made some disguises before going down the mountain. Of course, there was no place to find the Vietnamese army uniforms and helmets at this time. We could only take off the red collar seal on our military uniform and paint the red five-star on the military cap, and then deliberately put a big straw hat on the military cap. It was really hard to see whether it was the Vietnamese army or the People's Liberation Army from a distance.

I did not send out all the members of the shooting team, one because I wanted to preserve some strength for the main force. The other was that there was no need. Five snipers were enough to have a canyon that was only ten meters wide, and no matter how many there were, they would not play any role. Not to mention the other soldiers as valuable as snipers, even the SVD sniper rifles in their hands were rare objects, and once they were attacked, they would not be worth it.

So the group lined up in line with guns and walked towards the canyon in a swagger. Perhaps because most of the sun was blocked, the canyon was very dark and humid, and the layer of mist rising from the ground reduced visibility. However, the worse the visibility, the more likely we were to fish in the water. So I waved my hand to the soldiers behind me and plucked up my courage to continue walking towards the depths of the canyon.

The group walked in the canyon like entering a fairyland, with cliffs on both sides, and the sound of birds and insects came from time to time, which showed the strong breath of nature, which was extremely inconsistent with the various weapons in our hands.

Our group carefully advanced for hundreds of meters in the canyon, but no one showed up to stop him, nor did they find any footprints, cans or other evidence that could prove that someone had been there. So the soldiers and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - looking at this, the Vietnamese army should have not come to rush to defend this canyon, or they didn't know that we would take this road...

For these two, I might rather choose to go forward, because we marched overnight last night with flashlights. For the Vietnamese army who are familiar with the terrain, it should not be difficult for them to guess that we are going to pass through this canyon.

After walking a few dozen meters further, the light gradually became brighter, so I knew I was about to reach the entrance of the valley. At this time, a mess of footsteps and loud shouts in Vietnamese came from outside.
