It took a full three hours for Tangcheng and the others to finally walk out of this narrow valley and then go up a steeper mountain. Now Tangcheng and the others had completely gone in the direction they had left Magao, but Wu Shan
But they were very sure that they were moving northward now. Everyone was really tired. It was estimated that there should not be any danger in the wild mountains and ridges here. After crossing a grassy slope, everyone huddled in a depression to catch their breath.
We just ran all the way up the mountain and down the ditch. Although we achieved Tangcheng's goal of avoiding the Japanese army, everyone's physical strength was very high. Therefore, we must find time to rest and restore everyone's physical strength.
and vitality, otherwise the rest of the journey will be troublesome. A gust of mountain wind blew by, and the fog was blown away. The white silk-like fog wrapped in layers was pulled away by the mountain wind for a moment. Always pay attention to Tangcheng ahead.
I saw that the hillside separated by a ditch in front of me was covered with woods.
Tang Cheng searched with binoculars for a while, but couldn't find anything in the woods. He was not disappointed. It would be better if the monkeys didn't have Japanese troops. Tang Cheng looked to the left again, and the visibility was still not good. They had just dispersed for a while.
The fog has become denser again, and I can't see very far. However, there is a path on the slope of the hillside on the left. Although it is very blurry, it is enough to prove that there are people moving around here. But the Japanese army has troops stationed here. If they collide on this mountain,
The Japanese garrison was unlucky enough to get home.
Thinking of this situation, Tang Cheng felt a little worried or scared. Everything has proved that the 18th Division dispatched a large number of troops into Savage Mountain in pieces. Let's not talk about how these small Japanese troops were transported.
ammunition and supplies, but he knew in his heart that the more than 200 people under his command could not withstand the Japanese army's several interceptions. Tang Cheng's worries had already been seen by Hou San and the others, and before Tang Cheng could say anything, Dice would
The scouts, who had regained their composure, hurriedly left the depression and searched forward.
The scouts continued to search down the hillside, hoping to see clearly what was happening on the opposite hill. Now, the opposite hill was the key, because the Japanese army generally liked to hide on the riding line of the mountain to carry out ambushes. Also Liu Zi
Ah, Tang Cheng, who was on the same spot, had been looking at the scouts who came forward with binoculars. When he saw the few scouts who were leading forward, he first stopped and looked up at the foot of the mountain, and then suddenly squatted down, and no one could be seen in the grass.
.
Tangcheng didn't know what was going on, so he had to order the soldiers who stayed in place to rest to prepare for battle. Once the scouts who came out were in trouble, they would immediately provide fire cover to help the scouts retreat. Simply hide the few
The scouts in the grass immediately appeared and started running quickly in the grass. The scouts ran in the grass with a loud splash, and finally stopped when they reached the foot of the opposite mountain peak. They could no longer go down.
There are woods ahead, and the scouts have discovered traces of trees being cut down, and the marks on the tree stumps are still very clear.
It seems that there are really people moving around here. If there is a new Japanese garrison on the hill, they must have cut down the tree and moved it to strengthen the fortifications. The dice who accompanied the scouts were also a little panicked. If this is the case, they
But there was no way to avoid the Japanese troops. Now, no matter whether you were flying to the left or right or straight ahead, you might encounter the Japanese troops. Holding the sniper rifle in hand, Dice tried to walk out of the grass and into the forest, and then groped in for a while.
, I vaguely heard someone speaking to my upper left, and the voice sounded very similar to the Japanese bird song.
The frightened Dice quickly squatted down and stopped and quickly looked around. Fortunately, nothing happened. He couldn't stay here longer. If he was discovered by the Japanese soldiers, he would be in danger of being exposed. The Dice who calmed his mind then moved around.
He quickly turned back and walked back step by step to where he was. The scouts who stayed in the grass had been waiting. They saw that the sieve had been in the forest for a while and there was no movement.
This is when I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the forest, Dice didn't say anything but continued to gesture to retreat. The scouts who didn't know what was going on quickly followed him back. Before they reached the place, they happened to meet Tang Cheng who was leading people down. Dice couldn't wait any longer, so he
What he discovered after entering the forest just now told Tang Cheng. When he learned that Dice heard someone talking in the forest in front of him, Tang Cheng was also surprised. This place is still at least 2 days away from the India-Myanmar border. How could this happen?
Is there any sign of anyone?
After thinking for a while, Tang Cheng thought it was safe and decided to go around again. Everyone hunched over and walked all the way to the right, moving quickly and reaching the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye. Although everyone could not see anything in the thick fog, it felt that the terrain should become relatively clear.
It is wider, and it is no longer as narrow as before, with mountains and mountains, and every joint is so narrow. When we reach a place with lower terrain, it is still grassland and bushes. Everyone has to be very cautious when walking among them.
All cautious.
Maybe it was a psychological effect, but everyone felt that the air seemed to be getting thicker, and no one was even interested in talking. Since the terrain was unfamiliar, no one knew the situation here, so Tang Cheng had to order everyone to form a skirmish line and pull together.
Move forward in a team, so as not to suffer heavy casualties when suddenly attacked by intensive firepower. The scouts held guns in their hands and spread out in a search and alert formation to explore the road, while Hou San and the others spread out to both sides.
Open and cover the wounded in the middle section. This time, Tang Cheng personally leads the troops to cut off the rear.
There was a wind blowing over the open ground, and a strange smell began to come from the air. It smelled very bad. Wu Shan, who was walking in the front, was the first to smell it. He opened his nostrils, sniffed hard, and then turned his head.
He looked at Yanlong behind him to see if he smelled anything. Of course Yanlong also smelled this smell. This smell was very familiar. He was not the only one who was familiar with it. Anyone who had fought in a war was familiar with it. The smell of corpses
The smell of dead bodies mixed in the air made the scouts feel that something was going on. This was an intuition that belonged to veterans.
Being downwind, they smelled the smell of dead bodies. In other words, there were abandoned corpses nearby. Everyone sniffed hard with their noses and kept scanning the surroundings with their eyes. Everyone raised their weapons in the grass and swung them around.
, searching for the target. The guns in each of their hands are already in a ready state, and they will fire as soon as there is any movement. Yanlong stopped Wu Shan, but he walked at the front. The soil in front of him was soft and the grass was growing more and more lush.
, people walking among them do not dare to walk fast, so they have to search slowly.
The further forward, the smell of rotting corpses in the air became stronger and stronger, and it made people sick. After walking out of a thick bush, there were weeds on a small slope less than 30 meters to the right of Yanlong.
The lodging was very serious, and there was fresh recently dug soil scattered around. The rock dragon raised his arms and stopped. The smell of carrion should come from there. In this weather, unless someone has just moved the corpse, the smell will be there.
It emanated so strongly. The scouts following Yanlong glanced at each other, and then stretched their chins towards the small soil slope, their eyes even more wary.
Seeing that the scouts behind him were ready to open fire and cover at any time, Yanlong was about to reach out to find out. Suddenly, he saw a figure swaying on the slope. He couldn't care about the many rock dragons.
So he ran over quickly. As soon as he ran, the scouts who were covering him naturally ran to follow him. Not far from the slope, Yanlong heard footsteps on the other side of the slope.
It was very messy and the weeds and bushes were very noisy.
Yanlong, who stopped again, quickly made a covering gesture to the people following him, then turned around and walked around the side of the slope. He only heard the constant splashing in the grass, and everyone was running quickly on the open ground.
Running. The small soil slope is the center. The rock dragon who walked around the slope from the left wing has not stabilized his body yet. He has already seen a figure shaking at the foot of the mountain slightly higher on the left, and the branches and leaves are shaking loudly.
Come towards them. Their location is relatively low, which is not good. He quickly took a shot towards the swaying leaves.
The sound of the Thompson submachine gun firing instantly broke the silence of the earth. Yanlong couldn't see the specific location of the enemy, so he had to fire repeatedly at the still shaking branches and leaves of the shrubs. A bunch of bullets were fired, but they had no effect. The enemy might be hiding behind the trees.
Maybe there was some cover, the gunfire of the 38 rifles was still ringing. After the enemy's gunshots, several scouts following Yanlong rushed up the small slope to seize the commanding heights. Several scouts on the small slope fired continuously.
, further suppressing the enemy's shooting firepower at the foot of the mountain in front.
Tang Cheng, who had cut off the rear in person, naturally heard the gunshots. He left Liu Shitou to take care of George and the others who were following the rear. Tang Cheng ran forward quickly with his carbine in hand. He was thinking of avoiding the Japanese army. Who could
Cheng thought that he still couldn't avoid it. Since he couldn't avoid it, he had to fight hard. Although he didn't know how many Japanese troops were in front of him, judging from the number of 38 rifles in the gunfire, it seemed that the number of Japanese troops in front was not that large.
There weren't many, and there were no machine guns or grenade launchers.
"Pop!" When Tang Cheng felt the front, he caught up with Dice pulling the bolt of the gun and pushing the bullet to load. The stubborn Dice kept using his Japanese sniper rifle. The Japanese soldier who was hit by the sieve shot seemed to have been violently
He hit hard, and the man took two steps back. The gun was still in his hand, but he was already swaying and falling. Seemingly inspired by the dice, the snipers who had not performed very well before fired one after another.
By the time Tang Cheng looked forward with his telescope, the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were shooting at Yanlong and others had all been killed at the foot of the mountain.
