Yuesong quickly found a hidden position and hid in a field of purple reed flowers. He picked up his sniper rifle and saw that Brother Chao had changed positions and that the Japanese were temporarily out of sight. So he and Brother Chao cooperated tacitly and alternately covered.
Evacuate quickly.
In fact, at this time, Yuesong didn't know that Murong had died, let alone that Murong was shot and killed by a Japanese sniper who hit Brother Chao's helmet. Otherwise, given Yuesong's temper, he would not have retreated under any circumstances.
.Perhaps everything was God's will. Precisely because Yuesong didn't know this, he didn't fight with Takizawa right now, and he didn't delay the subsequent reconnaissance and contact with the main force.
Under alternate cover, Chaoge and Yuesong also quickly evacuated to the Salween River.
"Crane, Xizi."
"arrive."
"You two accompany Brother Chao to cover."
"yes."
Brother Chao, Minghe, and Xizi immediately spread out and established a covering front in three directions.
"Ren Xian, take your third brother, Guido, and Laifu, and quickly go north along the river for 200 meters, deliberately leaving human and horse footprints on the water's edge. After 200 meters, turn back immediately. Both humans and horses are gone.
We must walk in the water without leaving any traces. When we reach the water's edge, we continue to walk 500 meters south in the water and then go ashore. Renxian and Sange are responsible for cleaning up the traces when they go ashore. Guido leads Laifu.
alright."
"Yes." Sun Ren agreed first, and followed the captain's order with his third brother.
"Mengzi, Yingzi, let's cover here. When Renxian and the others come here from the water, we will retreat south along the edge of the forest. Mengzi and Yingzi will go first, and I will cover Chaoge and the others' retreat."
"Yes." Yingzi and Mengzi each found their positions and prepared for cover.
Five minutes later, Ren Xian and the others walked over from the water with Laifu.
Yuesong waved for them to move forward, and at the same time said to Yingzi and Mengzi: "You guys follow the cover on the shore, Mengzi protected Yingzi for me."
"Yes." Mengzi replied.
"I don't need protection." Yingzi said with a pout.
"Don't make trouble. Your opponent is no longer someone like Yoshida Shoichi. You must be careful."
"Yes." Yingzi and Mengzi agreed and retreated south along the forest.
A few minutes later, Yuesong saw Guido leading Laifu ashore. Renxian and Third Brother had cleaned up the traces, so he ran to Brother Chao with a sniper rifle, said a few words, and talked to Minghe and Xizi.
Retreat south together.
Brother Chao looked back and saw that the group of people had disappeared into the woods to the south. He aimed at the place where the Japs might appear. After waiting for two minutes, he still didn't see the Japs showing up, so he followed Yuesong's instructions and fired a shot.
, immediately changed the bullets, picked up the rifle and ran towards Yuesong and the others.
The experienced Takizawa found that Jiangbian was a formidable opponent, and he guessed that it was Luo Yuesong who he wanted to track. Naturally, he did not dare to be careless or move forward rashly.
After hearing the gunfire, Nandu found that none of his soldiers had been attacked. Looking at Takize again, slowly approaching the river in the forest, he understood something in his heart. It seemed that Luo Yuesong and the others should have withdrawn.
, so he led the soldiers to speed up their advance and came to the riverside.
"Spread out and cover." Nandu gave the order, and the soldiers spread out with guns in hand, covering all sides.
Holding the sniper rifle with one hand, Takizawa slowly walked out of the woods and came to the river. The keen Takizawa quickly discovered the traces of people and horses on the riverside. Takizawa walked to the riverside and looked at the river.
Say nothing.
"Takizawa-kun, could it be that Luo Yuesong led the team across the river?" Nan Dou walked over and carefully checked the traces.
"This river is so fast that even if a person can cross it, a loaded horse cannot." Takizawa looked at the river thoughtfully.
"Takizawa-kun can see that the horse is carrying a heavy load," Nandu said, looking at the horse's hoof prints again.
"This is a good horse for the empire. Captain Sakagaki said that the person who stole the captain's mount must be Luo Yuesong. It is shameful to use the captain's mount to carry supplies."
"Shameful, hateful." Nandu echoed, "Takizawa-kun, since it is impossible to cross the river, then these traces are confusing to us. Let's follow the river northward."
"Going north?" Takizawa finally turned his head and glanced at Nandu.
"Didn't Mr. Takizawa say that they are going to Lashio? To go to Lashio, don't they have to go north?" Nandu asked.
"Maybe, the opponent has more than one sniper. The one whose helmet was hit by me is probably not Luo Yuesong. For an opponent like this, you can never guess which direction he will lead the team in."
"The Chinese say that 'the south and the south are going in opposite directions', does this Luo Yuesong ignore ancient teachings?"
"Ignore him, let's go north." Takizawa had a deep thought.
