Dragon Boat Festival also heard the rocks rolling down under his feet. His jump must be successful, otherwise he would no longer have a point of strength.
But fortunately, Duanwu's leap reached his ideal height. His right hand had already rested on the protruding rock, and his left hand also grasped the edge of the cliff.
Duanwu let out a long breath at this time, because as long as these two hands can use force, then with arm strength alone, he can climb up the cliff, then hang down the rope and pull everyone up.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, with a click, the protruding rock that Duanwu held on to with his right hand suddenly broke, and half of Duanwu's body also fell down with the rock.
Fortunately, Duanwu's left hand was holding on to the edge of the cliff, preventing him from falling off the cliff immediately.
But his hand holding on to the cliff only had four fingers, and the place where he could use his strength was very slippery.
Duanwu felt quite bad, because the fingers of his left hand kept sliding outward due to the weight of his entire body.
He is about to fall.
Snapped!
At this critical moment, a slender hand grabbed Duanwu's wrist, and then the other party exerted force, and Duanwu was pulled up directly.
The other party stepped back and his hand was loosened.
Duanwu stood in front of the other party and said in surprise: "Shadow, are you still following me?"
The shadow said nothing, jumped upside down, and disappeared from Duanwu's sight in a few flashes.
Duanwu was a little confused, because why was the shadow following him? He remembered that the shadow had said before that she was tired of the days of fighting and killing.
"Isn't she attracted to me?"
Duanwu thought of a possibility, but then shook his head. Because Shadow is a person of the same era as his master, and his master is nearly seventy years old. So even if Shadow is younger than his master, he is still fifty or sixty years old.
Now that you are 10 years old, do you want the old cow to eat tender grass?
This is simply impossible. Dragon Boat Festival wouldn’t believe it anyway.
So since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it anymore. After all, Shadow had helped him several times and it didn't look like he was an enemy.
Duanwu tied the rope to the tree on the cliff, and then threw the rope down.
When Zhu Shengzhong saw the long rope hanging down, he immediately said happily: "The group has succeeded. Hurry, the brother carrying the rope goes up first."
"yes!"
Immediately, a group of more than a dozen people climbed up the cliff with ropes on their backs.
With the help of ropes, these people can climb up the cliff with twice the result with half the effort. At least as long as they hold the rope tightly with both hands, they don't have to worry about falling off the cliff.
So soon, more than a dozen people climbed to the top of the cliff and hung down the ropes one by one.
Zhu Shengzhong, Ma Pingan, Zhou Tianyi, Lao Abacus and others took the lead in climbing to the cliff.
Duanwu was looking at the map at this time. Because next, he not only had to break out of the little Japanese encirclement, but he also had to prepare for a counterattack.
Of course, the most important thing is to buy enough time for Li Yunlong's transport team. And while eliminating the Japs' vitality, they can also create conditions for themselves to escape from the Japs' encirclement.
Duanwu pointed at the Luoxia Valley on the map and said: "The little Japs are preparing to ambush us in the Luoxia Valley. That's because they have a good location. But when we climb up the cliff, the little Japs have no advantage.
It is now around 3:15 in the morning. If we are fast enough and cover seven or eight kilometers within an hour, we will definitely arrive at Luoxia Valley at 4:15.
At this time, the little devils have been waiting for us in Luoxia Valley all night. They will be obviously sleepy. Moreover, it will be dawn soon, and their vigilance will be greatly reduced. Therefore, if we surprise them at this time, we will definitely achieve great results.
Huge results.”
Zhu Shengzhong chuckled and said: "Tuanzong, I knew that our breakout this time would not be that simple, hahaha! This is your fighting style! Then I will go and generate electricity for Lao Sun and the others so that they can cooperate with us?"
Duanwu waved his hand and said: "No, Sun Shiyu and Shangguan Zhibiao have no advantage in defeating Luoxia Valley, and the artillery battalion moves slowly. I will let him wait for us at the third blockade of the Little Devils, and the artillery battalion will open it for us
gap, and then we exit through this gap.
And the reason why I want the Grand Luoxia Valley is precisely because of this. To create opportunities for the Second and Fourth Battalions to leave.
Let the soldiers speed up, we are very pressed for time."
"yes!"
Zhu Shengzhong accepted the order and immediately sent an order to the soldiers to speed up.
But there are more than 1,100 people, and even if we speed up, it will still take about half an hour for them all to climb the cliff.
However, Duanwu was very satisfied with this speed. After all, there were too many of them.
Then Duan Wu waved his hand, and all the troops immediately gathered and then headed west, and that position was exactly in the direction of Luoxia Valley.
At the same time, the Little Japanese's 15th Infantry Regiment was coming along the cliff from the east.
But their speed is not slow, because their combat mission is only to find and supervise the movements of the general team.
Doihara, the old Japanese, had lost his patience. He not only sent out the 18th Cavalry Regiment and the 15th Infantry Regiment to search, but also asked Lu Hang to send a reconnaissance plane to find the missing supervision team.
Lu Hang was helpless, because it was still dark, and if the reconnaissance plane did not fly at a very low altitude, it would not be able to see anything at all, unless the other party had lighting equipment, such as torches, flashlights, etc., to form a dragon of light for them to see.
But as officers of Lu Hang, they have never seen a breakout force break out with torches, so why not just wait and be discovered by the enemy?
Moreover, ultra-low-altitude reconnaissance by reconnaissance aircraft is very dangerous. As long as the enemy has a Type 38 rifle, there is a complete chance of shooting down the reconnaissance aircraft.
But Doihara had to give him face, so they could only send two reconnaissance planes to take off to find the whereabouts of the supervision team.
At the same time, the Japs in Luoxia Valley were extremely comfortable. They were guarding Luoxia Valley, but the enemy had disappeared. Without new orders, they could only stay where they were and continue to rest.
They speculated that there may be two reasons why Lord Doihara did not give them orders. The first reason is that the whereabouts of the supervision team are unknown. Maybe they went to other places, but maybe they are hiding near Luoxia Valley. They just wait.
They retreated and walked through Luoxia Valley in a swaggering manner.
The second possibility is that the Supervisory Corps has already broken through from elsewhere. And they stayed here to block the Supervisory Corps' retreat and form an encirclement with the Imperial Army on the third line of defense.
And they feel that the second possibility is very big. The enemy broke through from other places, and there is no trace of the enemy yet.
But daybreak will soon come, and when the Empire's reconnaissance planes are dispatched, their enemies will have no way to hide.
And at that time, when the enemy appears again, they will just cooperate with other troops to encircle them.
It's just that they didn't know that the Dragon Boat Festival supervision team had indeed bypassed Luoxia Valley, but they did not continue to break through to the third line of defense, but went straight to their Luoxia Valley!
