Regardless of the topography or landform, Tomita Ryohei and Zhu Yuankui agreed that the Tubal Road must have crossed the ridge and fled all the way south, because the terrain on both sides of the ridge was flat and there was no hiding place.
However, after a few minutes, there was still no sign of Tuba Road on the hilltop.
Tomita suddenly became suspicious and suspected that there was an ambush in the woods.
Thinking of this, Tomita Ryohei hurriedly raised his right hand and ordered the team to stop advancing.
At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops were less than 300 meters away from the woods.
According to Gold Leaf's prophecy, Tomita ordered grenade launchers to carry out carpet bombing of the woods from north to south.
The shelling continued for several minutes, sweeping large areas of trees to the ground, forming a wide passage.
However, just a hundred meters east of the passage, twenty light machine guns had their muzzles sticking out from the grass, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese and puppet troops.
When more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops entered the shooting range one by one, Shanzi shouted loudly and twenty light machine guns opened fire at the same time, sweeping through the dense enemy group.
Tomita Ryohei never expected that Tubal Road would unexpectedly set up an ambush from the side.
In anger, Tomita Ryohei angrily scolded Tubalu for being so cunning.
In panic, he saw his subordinates falling into a pool of blood one by one. Tomita Ryohei ordered his troops to take cover quickly while directing his troops to fire back.
As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops took cover behind trees or in the grass, Shanzi led the machine gunners and ran straight to the southeast. Although there was a hail of bullets behind them, most of the ones hit were tree trunks of different thicknesses.
Under Xiao Liu's tug, Jin Ye climbed up the hill in a huff, took a breath, turned around, and kicked Shan Zi's left leg viciously twice.
Ten minutes later, the chasing Japanese and puppet troops climbed up the hills one after another. Looking at the retreating figure of Tubal Road, Tomita Ryohei shook his fist and roared: "Tubal Road is dead, dead."
It didn't feel like the sky was already dark, and the empty wilderness began to turn gray.
Shan Zi then called Xiao Liu to bring him a map.
Judging from the map, this place belongs to Maolu District and is still more than a hundred miles away from Yukou Mountain. According to the current traveling speed, it will take at least ten hours to get there.
Gangzi District is the only route for this field march. About seven kilometers east of Gangzi Town, there is a huge barren slope covered with weeds, desolate and desolate.
Climbing to the top of the slope, Shanzi struck a match loudly. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already eleven o'clock in the night, and he was still more than sixty miles away from his destination.
At this time, not to mention Jinye, even the men were exhausted from hunger, thirst and fatigue.
Shanzi was not a man of steel either, he was also tortured to the point of exhaustion by hunger and thirst.
After arranging a warning, Shanzi told everyone to rest where they were.
Under Shanzi's instructions, a squad leader led ten soldiers to collect everyone's water bottles, went to a nearby village, and brought back some food and drink.
Because of excessive fatigue, the soldiers lay down on the ground and soon fell asleep.
Jinye lay on his side on Shanzi's right side, stretched out his right hand in the darkness, and gently touched Shanzi's face.
Shan Zi waved his hand to ward off Jin Ye, who then stretched out his hand.
After being blocked three times in a row, Jin Ye became angry. He held his breath and calmed down for a while, then suddenly launched an attack, pinching Shanzi's cheek so hard that Shanzi screamed in pain.
After Xiao Liu was awakened by Shanzi's moans, he asked confusedly: "Batalion Commander, what's wrong with you?"
Shanzi said: "It's okay, let the grass insect bite me."
Listening to Shanzi's answer, Jinye covered her mouth tightly and snickered until her whole body twitched and trembled.
After half an hour of being hungry and thirsty, I still didn't see the squad leader and the others come back.
Jin Ye suddenly sat up and complained: "Grandma, how long has it been? Even if you crawl, you should be back."
Shanzi took the opportunity to get angry: "Little hedgehog, I think you are a pig without eyes, you just know how to bark blindly. It's dark all around here, and you can't tell if there are people there. I can't wait to go by myself."
Jin Ye was speechless and kept licking his dry lips with the tip of his tongue.
