It's already late at night.

The Ninth Company had been walking for three or four hours, and went eastward for nearly twenty or thirty miles.

Hu Yi leaned on the upper beam with a look into the distance, staring at the black ravine. Luo Fugui leaned against Hu Yi not far away with a machine gun, staring quietly at the fire in the distant ravine.

Chen Chong and Tang Dagou rested nervously in the valley behind the high ground, not far from Hu Yi. Squad Leader Wang and Company Commander Chen looked at each other and continued to appreciate the scenery under the moon.

After a while, Hu Yi put down his telescope, subconsciously pulled off his hat and fan, turned his head and asked, "Are you sure that's a Japanese?"

Wang Liujin couldn't help but stretched his neck: "It must be that two comrades have observed them close to them!"

“How many people are there?”

"Well, there are only a dozen people, and they even put a whistle. They dared not get too close. If they hadn't made a fire, they wouldn't have noticed them!"

"A dozen? The Japanese cannot divide into small troops to sweep the enemy. There should be at least one team ahead!"

"Boss Hu, now it's time. There are Japanese surrounds in front and pursuers behind!" Luo Fugui cursed in the face of this situation.

"Then, what should I do now?" Company Commander Chen couldn't help asking.

"Retreat immediately, turn south from the intersection you just passed, bypass the group of Japanese and then go east!" Hu Yi ordered without hesitation.

The Japanese were still hanging from behind, following the Eighth Route Army behind, occasionally firing fire. It was a few miles away from the fork in the road at the ridge behind. The gunshots in the north did not change the direction of the pursuit, but another squad of Japanese soldiers were sent to reconnaissance.

The Ninth Company retreated, and thus the distance between the pursuing Japanese was closer. Hu Yi was not relieved that Li Xiang had broken the rear and sent Tang Dagou to lead his squad back to reinforce. Wang Liujin took people to monitor the east hillside in case the Japanese leaned over when they heard the gunshots.

There was a Japanese man on the east side. Whether the Japanese who received the news was unclear and could not judge whether they were rushing over.

The Ninth Company has a killer weapon, and it is feasible everywhere in the mountains. There is nothing to worry about. It also has enough firepower. If it is just a dozen Japanese, you can even open your fangs to eliminate those Japanese. The enemy's situation is unknown and you can't afford to mess with them.

"Boss Hu, there are also Japanese devils in the east. We are attacked from the front and back. Do you think you should find a cliff and slip down and hide for a while?"

"Hide? What do dozens of people eat?" Chen Chong took the lead in answering the conversation.

"At worst, I can eat wild vegetables for two days, and I still have a few canned food!" The shameless person doesn't care about the opinions of people who have long been short of food.

"Company Commander Hu, you really have you, the Japanese are really here!" Company Commander Chen was happy and worried, but he was in a good mood. It turned out that fighting was not a head-on battle with the enemy.

"Squad Leader Wang, take people south, bypass the group of Japanese devils in the east, and continue to move east!"

"Yes!" Liujin squad leader asked a soldier to notify the observer's squad soldiers to retreat, and he led two soldiers to turn south first.

Dozens of people followed the soldiers of the spy squad and walked southward. A stretcher squeezed over from behind: "Isn't there just a dozen Japanese, why are you running? Auntie pinch them to death!"

"A dozen? When did you see a team of more than ten people in the mountains? When did you have a fewer than one team?" Luo Fugui replied listlessly when talking about the Japanese.

"Uh? That's right, this Japanese devil is just a little braver. Every time he swept, he is in groups! When will we run?" He fell on the stretcher yawning.

"Will a small team of Japanese soldiers be afraid of being ambushed?" Hao Yun next to him asked an inappropriate question. In his impression, a squad of Japanese soldiers could chase a platoon of the Kuomintang army.

"Your grandma, do you really think the Japanese have three heads and six arms?" Poluo looked at the stuffed goods with disdain.

On the small high ground in the distance, Tang Dagou lay on the top of the high ground, leisurely watching Li Xiang below, and with the Japanese who were about a hundred meters away from behind, they were setting cold guns and several figures, while fighting, retreating to Tang Dagou's high ground.

When the Japanese saw the Eighth Route Army in front bathing under the moonlight, they ran up a mountain ridge along the gentle slope. The first squad immediately approached the waist carefully. About 100 meters ahead, the Eighth Route Army had the upper beam disappeared.

This situation has been seen many times. After the Japanese reached the gentle slope, they immediately dispersed. The Japanese on the edge soon dispersed to the edge of the cliffs on both sides and pressed towards the ridge in a fan shape.

The soldiers Li Xiang and his team arrived at the east side of the mountain ridge, stopped, gasped quickly, turned their heads, saw Tang Dagou lying there, and asked directly: "Why are you here?"

"Damn it, Chief Hu asked me to come and support you personally. Why, do you have any objections?"

"Then I'll thank you first?" Li Xiang turned his head: "Let's go!"

Leaving without any delay!

"Hey, haha, what's your attitude?" He shouted at Li Xiang's back in the distance.

"Big dog, why don't we withdraw too?"

"Damn it, call the squad leader"

"Oh, Squad Leader Tang, why don't we run away?"

"Damn it, you know when we will not take advantage of it? The Japanese are below, and I will kill him by throwing two stones! Be prepared to follow my orders and beat a Japanese to death?"

"Well, give me a piece of ocean?"

"I'll give you a fucking reward!"

"ah?"

"Listen, what's that sound?"

"What sound?" Tang Dagou raised his ears and finally realized the faint buzzing sound in the mountain wind, and then a low whistle came from the sky.

"Everyone is lying down with his head in his arms, it's the Japanese grenade launcher!"

All the subordinates heard it, and then the ridges trembled slightly several times, grenades exploded on the hillside, shrapnel and fine stone chips splashed westward, and the larger stones that were not driven by the shock wave jumped down the slope, gradually forming a magnificent shock.

"Damn it? Retreat? Retreat?"

Tang Dagou didn't expect that the first time he acted alone, he was beaten by the Japanese in the face. He was stunned for a moment and quickly ordered his retreat.

As soon as he got up, he ran back, turned his head and shouted at the soldiers who were still lying on the ground with their heads in their arms, "Damn it, run quickly! Run!"

The soldiers who were shrinking their heads and tails quickly got up, spread their feet and ran eastward with Li Xiang and the others.

Because the Japanese team was far away from the high point, they bumped and bumped into the moonlight for the middle of the night, and were nervous and tired. Based on previous experience, the Eighth Route Army would mostly ambush on the high ground and fire cold guns. The second lieutenant who followed him couldn't help but be angry. As soon as he arrived at the high ground, he ordered the grenade launcher to open upwards first.

The Ninth Company left a soldier waiting at the fork in the road.

"Company Commander Hu, there is a big river further east, and there is no bridge in the area south. All the people have run away, and most of them have no ferries, and they may not be able to get through!" The guerrilla warrior who led the way turned to Hu Yi, with panic on his face.

"There is a river? Haha, it's good to have a river!" Luo Fugui, behind Hu Yi, became energetic again, with a happy look on his face, which made the soldier confused.

"How far is it from the mountain pass after crossing the river?" Hu Yi asked expressionlessly.
