Chapter 179 Lucky
The deafening sound of waterfalls is the power that nature keeps showing.
The water was filled with mist, and there were still several female soldiers hanging on their wet military uniforms.
To the north, two hundred meters away from the waterfall, a small piece of plain ground that was cleared was not considered flat. At best, there were no dense shrubs on the ground.
A panting spy soldier ran over from the north: "Report! Company Commander Hu, Squad Leader Wang, we heard gunshots in the north."
The atmosphere at the scene immediately changed. The generals around immediately stood up, pulled the gun and pulled the bolt, and cleaned up the guys on the ground. Without waiting for Hu Yi's order, they began to move consciously.
"How far is the gunshot?" Hu Yi was a little puzzled. Could it be that there were Eighth Route friendly forces ahead? It should be considered a good thing for completing the mission?
"In the mountains, we can't see the valley in the east, but I guess it won't exceed three miles!" After the warrior said that, he pulled out the kettle and fed a big mouthful, stretched out his sleeves and wiped it: "Platform Commander Pan and his team encountered a dense shrub there again, and were chopping it up there. It was about four or five hundred meters away from that fork! Because of gunfire, he stopped."
"Sanli? Why didn't we hear it here?" Luo Fugui, who was waving over at some point, asked.
"The rustling sound of the waterfall here is too loud, and it's normal not to hear it." The soldier looked at Luo Fugui like an idiot.
"Squad Leader Wang, take a few people, come with us, and set off immediately." Hu Yi thought for a while, and finally gave an order: "Mule, you can take Tian Sanqi and Li Xiang and others to join in a squad, bring your flashlight, set off immediately, and others, arranged by the injured Chen Chong, be careful to hide."
......
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and night fell. A group of Japanese devils with torches headed west from the valley and reached the end of the road. A river that was not big appeared in front of them. The sound of the rushing water clearly told the people that the water river was turbulent.
After a while, the Japanese squad leader appeared, and at least one squad of Japanese squads lined up in a long line. As usual, no puppet troops appeared.
Since the start of the sweeping, I have been marching in the mountains, day and night, and I have taken some time to sleep for a while every day. The mountains and ridges are full of teams searching for the Eighth Route Army.
There were too few people in the Eighth Route Army. After hearing the friendly forces that the battle was brilliant, they just waited for nothing, but they led a small team. They finally met the team ahead with wolf dogs, so they didn't have to worry about them running away in the dark.
This confidence comes not from one's own tracking ability, but from the fact that this mountain has been surrounded by the Imperial Warriors.
The smaller the team, the fewer their bonds, the easier it is to avoid them.
The mountainous area was originally complicated. If the people in front were only their own team, it would be impossible to wipe them out. Since they were turtles in the jar, they should have the awareness of being turtles.
The Eighth Route Army ran away desperately in front, and the dog he was carrying had an extremely sensitive nose. The Eighth Route Army hid several times and was found. Is it possible to survive his tracking?
The Japanese were actually extremely tired. It’s not their fault. Pingjin was all training on the plains. In an environment they were not familiar with, they could never lose their targets. At the same time, it was equivalent to treating them as a mountain combat training. Therefore, the Japanese did not do their best.
This was not the chance given to Company Commander Chen. At least in the mountains, the Japanese were short and short legs, so they would definitely not be able to run through the Eighth Route Army. However, Company Commander Chen did not transfer or block the night for several days, and almost never closed his eyes. His physical strength was already at its limit. With his belief alone, the bullets were basically exhausted, but he was still not caught up by the Japanese, which means that the physical strength of the Eighth Route Army is not necessarily worse than that of the Japanese.
What is really bad is equipment, training, and culture!
The team stopped silently by the river, standing tiredly. The lieutenant looked west with the torch, and the dark mountain wall could not see anything.
The sound of the river was endless, which made him feel some hallucinations. Did the Eighth Route Army disappear?
"Reported that the Eighth Route Army lost its traces, and the footprints of the Eighth Route Army were found by the river, and they disappeared here. After the reconnaissance on the other side of the river, no discovery was found... Because the other side of the river was full of dense forests, it was impossible for people to get into it."
The second lieutenant didn't think there was anything strange. The Eighth Route Army disappeared several times last night: "Well, interesting Eighth Route Army! Did they walk along the river?"
"Report, there is no road to walk here. If the Eighth Route Army wants to walk here, they can only walk from the river... This is unlikely, it is no different from dying!"
"Send people immediately to the friendly defense zone next to you to find out which friendly troops are searching in the south."
The second lieutenant was not entrusted. According to the plan of this sweep and deployment, all troops shall not change their marching routes at will. Forces above the squadron must report their location to the brigade headquarters at any time. When reporting to the headquarters in Lu'an, the headquarters has been conducting full command and deployment.
In the river channel in the valley, several figures floated in the water, colliding with the stones in the water from time to time.
The secret service was not stupid. Before going into the water, he stringed the soldiers' dry food bags and tied them to everyone's arms. He hoped that perhaps during the process of floating down, he had the opportunity to catch the old vines or dead trees hanging into the water. In the mountains, such things were not uncommon.
He was the only one in the team who met with Company Commander Chen. Company Commander Chen is not a native of Dabie Mountain. He comes from a southern province and is actually not very good at water.
It was precisely because of the two of them that they could escape the disaster at this time.
One of them was on their heads and the other was on their tails, drifting for more than a mile in the water. Finally, a little water flow appeared. The two of them passed through both sides of a large rock in the water and stopped in the middle of the river.
The river channel was not wide at all. The two of them slowly woke up the group of grasshoppers tied up. However, there was still a soldier who had no breath. Company Commander Chen looked carefully. When the soldier passed by a stone in the river, his head was hit hard on the stone.
The stones washed by water for many years have long lost their edges and still took away the life of the warrior.
Such an accident is still full of tears for the soldiers who are used to seeing life and death.
The soldier in the secret service, led the leader, was waving bayonets along the edge of the shrub full of stone walls.
There is not much soil in the mountains, and I don’t know how these shrubs grew tenaciously here.
Company Commander Chen held the sacrificed warrior who had lost his body temperature. There was no sadness on his face, nor any other expression.
I have experienced too many comrades in the past few days and have encountered many of them. I have once again been in danger and saved my life, but I am not as excited as the soldiers.
I don’t know what to greet me tomorrow, but what difficulties I have to face.
This is just an episode on the road of transfer, but few people have such luck.
The headquarters' breakthrough, civilian personnel, and some ordinary people, at least tens of thousands, have been fighting with the Japanese after he reinforced him. After wandering in the mountains for so many days, he has not jumped out of the Japanese encirclement. All the situation shows that the Japanese's sweep this time have unprecedented troops, far exceeding their imagination!
A few days ago, I saw with my own eyes that the comrade who was forced to go to a dead end jumped off a cliff a hundred feet high in order not to be captured by the enemy! Hundreds and thousands...
In order to stop the Japanese, the soldiers hugged grenades and died with the enemy...
Holding a rifle without bullets, he resolutely launched a counterattack against the enemy...
Use a red tassel gun, a big knife, a stone, and...
