It’s always a good idea to sail a ship that lasts forever. It’s always a good idea to be cautious.

It was getting dark. Chen Tianhua originally thought that the area of ​​this dense forest was not that big, but now it seems that his estimate was completely wrong.

Starting from the encounter in the early morning, he walked for most of the day, still traveling through the jungle, and the woods tended to become denser and denser.

It got dark very quickly, and it only took less than an hour from the sun setting to the time when the whole land was completely plunged into darkness. It was so fast that Chen Tianhua had no time to make any preparations.

He just replenished food and water to lighten the burden on him.

I glanced at the sky, guessing that tomorrow will be another dark one. The Moon Lady above my head was mostly covered by the dark clouds, and most of the residual light that leaked out was blocked by the dense branches and leaves, and passed through the gaps.

What shined into the forest was only a few faint moonlight.

Therefore, Chen Tianhua almost had to grope his way forward in the darkness, which was so difficult that you can imagine.

Although a flashlight was seized, it may have been used during this period. The battery was almost dead and the light was very weak, making it blurry to see things through it, so it was simply not used.

He used a branch to explore in front of him, just like a blind man walking. This was not only to explore the high and low potholes in front, but also mainly to alert the snake.

Groping forward in the dark requires special training. Ordinary people cannot feel the garbled messages transmitted by the branches at all, and will become difficult to move and extremely frightened.

Now, he was worried that once he walked into the ambush designed by the enemy, it would be difficult to go back to find or rescue Zuo Gang.

From the valley behind the hills to the dense forest, even Chen Tianhua himself couldn't remember how far he had walked. He didn't have any positioning equipment except his pocket watch. At this moment, everything had to rely on his own subjective judgment.

After careful consideration, he decided to find a relatively safe place to camp.

Take a night's rest to recuperate your energy first, and it won't be too late to find Zuo Gang after the next morning.

Although he was very anxious in his heart, he had no choice but to think that since the enemy had captured Zuo Gang, they would not kill him first. It would be a wise move to use him as bait and hostage.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua felt slightly relieved.

He now has sufficient ammunition and food, and is confident that he will defeat the enemy, rescue Zuo Gang, and at least be able to hold them back until Li Xinghong's large troops come to search for him.

He believed that he couldn't even walk in such a dark night, and the enemy's flashlight batteries were almost exhausted, so they would definitely not be able to evacuate.

Taking the tragic fate of the two Japanese soldiers during the day as a lesson, Chen Tianhua specially selected a relatively dry, tall and strong tree as a perch.

He quickly climbed up in two or three strokes.

He used a sharp goose feather knife to clean all the branches where he needed to lie down and rest, making sure that there were no blood-sucking leeches or snakes, and then he carefully lay down with his back against the big tree trunk.

As for the big wild mosquitoes that were all over the forest, he tied up his trousers tightly and wrapped his body tightly in clothes, including his face, with only his nose, mouth and eyes exposed.

His combat backpack contained a lot of gauze and bandages, and he collected all the gauze, bandages and anti-inflammatory powder from the corpse's backpack.

He understood that all necessary items for field operations must be complete, especially medical drugs.

Without these, just being bitten by a mosquito, or having the wound cleaned and re-bandaged would be a big problem.

But even so, in the middle of the night, there were still several mosquito bites on the back of his hands.

There was no other way, so he rubbed the back of his hands, took out the seized ham sausage and water from his combat backpack, and started eating again.

Ten minutes later, Chen Tianhua, who had eaten and drank enough, leaned his backpack pillow on the main tree trunk, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This is the fifth night in the forest. In total, I haven't slept well for a few hours. There will be a decisive battle tomorrow. No matter what happens tonight, I have to close my eyes and rest to restore my physical strength.

He usually sleeps very lightly in the wild, and will immediately become alert as long as there is the slightest movement around him.

But I was so sleepy tonight that I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

At dawn the next day, before dawn, the birds and various other creatures in the dense forest began their busy lives, going out to look for food and flying around chirpingly.

A little orange-yellow bird with an unnamed name landed on the branch where Chen Tianhua was.

The orange bird looked very cute. It jumped on the branch and moved to his face. It stuck out its butt and pooped a bunch of bird poop.

The bird poop just hit Chen Tianhua's cheek, and it was still warm, with a hint of the body temperature of a bird.

He hadn't woken up yet. This is the time when people are most sleepy. After suddenly feeling something strange on his cheek, he subconsciously reached out and touched it. His hands were full of bird droppings.

The moment I opened my eyes, I was immediately furious with the bird above my head.

"Little one, get out of here..."

He cursed lowly, immediately climbed down from the tree, stretched out his body, and then went to the creek to wash his face and hands.

After a night of rest, Chen Tianhua felt that his physical fitness had basically returned to normal, at least to more than 80% of normal levels.

He took out the food in his backpack and ate it, which not only reduced the weight but also replenished energy, and then filled the wine bag with stream water.

After everything was settled, he got ready and went on the road, starting the battle to find Zuo Gang's whereabouts.

…

It is said that the day of the accident four days ago was just before evening, about three kilometers away from Yamawangpo and heading north to Meishan Town. This area was filled with various construction sites for infrastructure construction, including the administrative center of the autonomous region.

At this time, everyone at the construction site finished their work and returned to the campsite.

Suddenly, there was a burst of fierce gunfire and explosions south of Yamawang Slope. The armed personnel on duty at these construction sites heard it and thought it was army training because it was close to the training base.

The base camp where the bidding regiment headquarters in Huaikan Town and the military camp in Meishan Town all thought that the other side was conducting field training near the training base because the entire army had entered the "spring training" stage since the first month of the year.

Spring training and autumn drills are large-scale military training conducted twice a year by the new army.

By some strange coincidence, no one paid attention to the brief sound of gunfire.

After dinner, Xu Yunyuan went to Chen Tianhua's small villa in the headquarters compound as usual and found that there was no one inside.

Didn't come back?

He promised to come back tonight to spend time with her?!

This heartless man must have been seduced by another woman?!

She thought about it and thought that the only woman in the autonomous region who could seduce this young master was the enchanting Ms. Hu Yaoxiang, the general manager of the Huaikan Town Building Materials Factory.
