After a difficult night, it was an early morning, and there was only a little light in the sky. Biaozi and his brothers hurried back to the hilltop where Shaoqiu set out for reconnaissance, waiting for Shaoqiu's safe return.
Brother Chao kept a distance of more than 100 meters from Biaozi and the others. At the edge of the forest in the northwest, he dug a shallow personal pit with a bayonet, set up a sniper rifle, and prepared a cover for Shaoqiu, Biaozi and the others.
Preparation for retreat.
A few early-rising sparrows tilted their heads, rolled their black eyes, and chirped "笳笳". Shaoqiu raised his head and saw that the eastern sky had revealed a trace of bright color, and hurriedly climbed forward for more than ten meters.
, arrived at a slope with a relatively wide view, and carefully observed the place where banging sounds and occasional explosions had been heard yesterday afternoon.
Many laborers were beaten with Japanese whips before dawn, yawning, carrying tools, and getting ready to start working.
Shaoqiu really wanted to have a telescope like Captain Hu's at this time, because he saw that after the ragged workers were driven into a bush halfway up the mountain, many of them disappeared. It seemed that the Japanese were really cunning.
, when they were building the fortifications, they did not destroy many trees, so the fortifications were very hidden and could not be seen clearly with their own eyes from this distance, not to mention that it was not bright yet.
Shaoqiu took out the small notebook and a piece of pencil given to him by Captain Hu, and clumsily drew zigzag lines on the notebook. Unfortunately, Shaoqiu didn't study and didn't know anything about contour lines, so he could only draw according to the gourd.
Like a gourd, he drew some so-called maps that he could barely understand. While Shaoqiu was concentrating on drawing the extremely ugly map, he suddenly heard a dull explosion. Yes, Shaoqiu was very sure it was an explosion. It was so dull,
There must have been an explosion in the cave. Shaoqiu opened his eyes wide, but he couldn't find the entrance to the cave.
Just when he was in trouble, he suddenly noticed some dust coming out of the woods halfway up the mountain. Shaoqiu quickly clicked a spot on his ugly ground. Yes, the dust caused by the explosion naturally came out of the hole. This location should be
The entrance of the cave.
Oops, Shaoqiu suddenly felt that he had climbed all day and all night in vain. Although his eyes were blurry with hunger, he was still in a happy mood.
The sound of footsteps, the footsteps of the Japanese's big leather shoes, came. Damn it, the patrol started patrolling so early? Shaoqiu quickly put away his notebook and pencil, and lay down in the grass, motionless.
A few minutes later, Shaoqiu heard the footsteps of the patrol walking away. He slowly raised his head and looked around, thinking to himself that he had to retreat quickly early in the morning when the Japanese were not so energetic, and lie down for another day.
It was really unbearable. Even my hands and feet were no longer numb, I couldn't even feel alive, and my stomach couldn't bear it either.
Shaoqiu simply turned his back to the sky and moved his hands and feet. He had decided not to crawl in this forest anymore, but to walk, stop and look. It should take twenty minutes to pass through this forest.
That's it, no need to crawl for a few more hours. Oops, my bad idea made me suffer, like a snail.
After Shaoqiu felt that his hands and feet were full of life, he stood up, held the assault gun in one hand, and followed the predetermined method and route. He started walking a few steps, jogging a few steps, and then stopped to observe.
Especially those larger trees that might hide hidden Japanese whistles, Shaoqiu would look at them carefully for a long time before approaching them.
"Biaozi, can you wait like this?" Minghe said.
"What can happen if it doesn't work? Go over and carry Shaoqiu back?" Biaozi gave Minghe a blank look.
"Hey." Minghe sighed and waited helplessly.
Brother Chao was very calm. As long as Thompson's gunfire didn't sound, the possibility of Shaoqiu still alive was very high. As long as Shaoqiu could get out of the forest, even to the open hillside, he would fight for this.
My destiny is to save Shaoqiu.
Brother Chao dipped his fingertips into a drop of dew from a nearby wormwood leaf, put it on his tongue and licked it. It was cool, green, and don't worry, Shaoqiu will come back.
