Chapter 343: Fighting the Tiger

The veterans came up with a simple solution, because the mountains were next to each other, and there must have been rivers such as waterfalls rolling down in the middle. What they have to do is take advantage of the flow of water from the top to the bottom of the mountain. However, this method sounds easy, but it is difficult to do it, because the rivers and waterfalls in the valley are full of sharp rocks, and I don't know how deep the waterfall is. However, continuing to fight the regular Vietnamese army in the mountains is ironclad.

The veterans took off their coats and cut them into strips with knives, tying them together in knots to form a long rope. Although the toughness is not strong enough, it can somewhat ease the force of the impact of the current.

After the break, sporadic gunfire from the Vietnamese began to be heard again. Small flares also flew into the air, illuminating the mountains and forests in a green and indescribably eerie and terrifying way. The two little brothers of Dien Bien Phu are more familiar with the life of the mountains and forests, and continue to walk forward with everyone. Halfway through, listening to the noise with your ears on the ground, you can judge the geographical location by the situation of the canopy.

After walking for about an hour, I saw a rushing river. The river is not very wide, but the slope is very steep and the current is extremely fast. The leader of the veterans handed the ropes to everyone, tied each of them around their waists, and then went into the water first. Cheng Hongbin wanted to tell everyone a few words, but when he heard the gunshots getting closer and closer, he could only hurry up and go into the water.

Although the water temperature in the valley was very low, and everyone was shivering with cold after entering the water, everyone clung to the rocks on the river bank and tried to support their way down in order to escape. In addition, the excessive weight of the coat after being immersed in water affects their freedom of movement. Compared with the two, it is a bit helpful to make a rope.

After walking dozens of meters, the people who were shivering and shivering from the cold ushered in the first waterfall. The veteran leader smiled bitterly and whispered to Cheng Hongbin: "It's a bit high, unexpected, unexpected." ”

Cheng Hongbin pouted angrily, at this time, the impetus of the current was getting stronger and stronger, and there was nothing he could do if he wanted to go ashore, even if it was an accident, he could only hit it head-on. Falling into the waterfall with the current, everyone couldn't help but scream. Fortunately, the sound of the waterfall splashing stones was deafening, and the Vietnamese soldiers searching on the mountain did not expect that the target they were searching for would dare to take such a risk, and still cautiously tracked it up.

Below the waterfall is a pool of deep water, which is as dark as ink at night. Cheng Hongbin only felt that he had plunged into the ice cellar, and the feeling of being so cold that he was suffocating almost made him breathless. His lungs were also squeezed so hard that if he hadn't been alerted by a shred of reason, perhaps a large amount of river water would have been sucked into his lungs from his nose. Cheng Hongbin tried to hold his breath and climbed up on the water. Breathing through the lake and breathing in the fresh air, Cheng Hongbin suddenly felt that life had never been so beautiful.

This is the taste of being alive, and Cheng Hongbin suddenly burst into tears. He wants to continue to live well, and he wants to live well with his family again. "Whew", the veterans also came out of the water, one by one frantically wiping the water on their faces, as if they could breathe a little more fresh air.

Cheng Hongbin looked around, but Xiao Yuan and the two young men from Dien Bien Mansion were still nowhere to be seen, and shouted a few times in a low voice, but there was no response.

The leader of the veterans shook his head helplessly, pulled out a piece of clothing from the water, and said, "They may have been washed down, let's go, let's go down and look for it." ”

Cheng Hongbin didn't care about resting, and immediately swam downstream. Luckily, the lake is just a pond in the middle of the mountain, and it's not too big, otherwise it would have taken hours to find it. The veterans searched for a while, but did not find any trace of Xiao Yuan and the two brothers, so they followed Cheng Hongbin all the way down. After swimming for a few minutes, the slope began to turn down again, and Cheng Hongbin and the others didn't have to spend any more effort, they just needed to control their balance and go down with the impact of the current.

There was another waterfall ahead, but this time it was wider than the previous one. Although the flow speed is not as turbulent, the height is more terrifying. The leader of the veterans tried to crawl towards the shore and shouted, "Hongbin, go quickly, you can't go down." ”

Cheng Hongbin was startled and desperately crawled to the shore. After climbing a few steps, I saw someone standing there on the shore waving. In the night, Cheng Hongbin couldn't recognize whether the other party was friend or foe, but if it was an enemy, he must have already shot. The impact of the water is very strong, and after struggling in the water for so long, Cheng Hongbin's physical strength has been consumed by more than half. All fours struggled to rush to the river, but the body involuntarily slid downward.

The people on the shore hurriedly ran downstream, ran a few steps, and jumped into the water with a pop. As soon as he met Cheng Hongbin, Cheng Hongbin found out that this guy was actually Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuan rested here for a while, his strength had recovered somewhat, and he pulled Cheng Hongbin ashore, only to see that the veterans were surrounding the two young men lying on the ground, trying to give them artificial respiration.

Xiao Yuan sighed and said, "It's late, it's useless." ”

The veterans tossed and turned for a few minutes, but the two young men were still lifeless, and could only sit on the ground in a gloomy manner.

Cheng Hongbin tightened his lips and didn't say a word. Although these Vietnamese are not as close as the relationship between him and Xiao Yuan, they are also comrades-in-arms who have come through ups and downs. When they died, Cheng Hongbin was full of sadness, because he suddenly felt that he was a bad star, and every comrade-in-arms who followed him had no good end.

The veterans were also exhausted, but after considering the situation, they still felt that it was in their best interest to evacuate at this time. After dawn, there may be a number of troops surrounding it, and it will be difficult to escape at that time. Cheng Hongbin was full of grief and indignation, naturally he didn't have any opinions, Xiao Yuan took out the maritime phone and tossed for a few minutes, and found that the electric board had been completely scrapped, so he died of the mind of asking for help.

The waterfall above had already lost two people, the waterfall below was even bigger, and everyone was not energetic, and this time it was washed down, and the whole army was wiped out. The leader of the veterans cautiously touched the mountains and forests, carefully observed for a moment, and said in a low tone: "Take the risk of going down the mountain, just do it when you see someone, there is no way." ”

Both the gun and the bullets were soaked in water and were already unusable. Several men took their knives in their hands and threw the pile of iron lumps into the river. The leader of the veterans led the way, and the rest of the people scattered and followed, walking for half an hour, and the road was uneventful. Cheng Hongbin stopped and looked sideways for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "The river above has washed us up to other mountains." ”

Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong, and looked back for a while, and laughed at the same time. It's a shame that they are still the ones who often dance on the tip of the knife, and they even ignore this important situation. Now that you've changed hills, it's time to stop and take a break. Cheng Hongbin and Xiao Yuan picked some wild fruits and pulled some wild vegetables, and the veterans brought some river water over, and a few people ate and drank casually for a while, and lay on the ground and fell asleep.

slept until dawn, and Cheng Hongbin woke up first. got up and sat on the ground, only to see a pair of gloomy yellow eyes in the forest next to him looking at everyone fiercely. Cheng Hongbin's scalp suddenly went numb and stabbed Xiao Yuan's body. Xiao Yuan was also covered in cold sweat, waking up the veterans, and his courage was a little stronger. The animal was a tiger, but I couldn't recognize what kind of it was, but looking at its size, I'm afraid three people couldn't get it.

Several people stood up and retreated down the hill in unison. The tiger seemed to have eaten everyone, and slowly followed behind a few people. Xiao Yuan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the yellow hair was also faintly exposed in the other bushes, he realized that this tiger was not alone, but came with his companions.

However, it is strange to say that several tigers just followed closely and did not attack. Cheng Hongbin and the others thought that they were people who had died a few times, panic to panic, but they were not too worried. The veteran's hungry chest was pressed against his back, and he actually muttered viciously: "Why don't you get one to fight the tooth sacrifice." ”

Of course, this is just that he is not happy to cut, if he really wants to make a move, a group of tigers will pounce on him, I am afraid that they will be the first to be torn apart. There are no roads in this mountain, there are dense woods and weeds everywhere, there are many mosquitoes that make people's scalp tingle, and all kinds of poisonous snakes are lurking in dark corners waiting for an opportunity. Several people walked for half an hour, and their heads were already bitten with bags, which hurt and itched.

Luckily, there is a small river ahead, and it flows very slowly and has a gentle slope. The veteran leader jumped down first, and the cold water soaked his skin, which made the itching of mosquito bites disappear a lot. The others were about to draw a scoop on the gourd, but they saw the leading tiger let out a low roar and rushed towards the leader of the veterans. The leader of the veterans was shocked, and hurriedly swam two meters in a doggy crawl, and the tiger missed the blow, then turned around and pounced on the leader of the veterans.

Cheng Hongbin jumped and jumped into the river. At the same time, the tiger had pounced on the back of the veterans' leader. The big furry claws pressed hard, and the veteran leader felt as if the weight of a small hill had fallen down, and his eyes went black, and a mouthful of blood spat out. The tiger habitually opened its mouth to bite the back of the neck of the veteran leader, but Cheng Liping also pounced on the tiger, his left arm tightly pulled the mane around the tiger's neck, and the knife in his right hand stabbed the tiger in the ribs frantically.

The tiger suffered from pain, gave up the veteran leader, and struggled in the water, trying to get rid of Cheng Hongbin's control. Cheng Hongbin knew that as soon as he let go, the painful tiger would bite him frantically, so he grabbed the tiger's fur and didn't let go. The tiger kept turning its head to bite Cheng Hongbin, but Cheng Hongbin was annoyed by it, and actually opened his mouth to bite the tiger's back.

After biting down, Cheng Hongbin was almost smoked and vomited, and the tiger with shiny hair was actually fishy and ugly, and he didn't know how many layers of dirt were attached to his skin. The tiger roared sharply and rushed to the shore, Cheng Hongbin was caught off guard and was immediately thrown to the ground by it. The tiger jumped to the shore and looked at the crowd with a fierce look. The other tigers also rushed over, and a medium-sized tiger saw that Xiao Yuan was the smallest, jumped over, easily crossed a distance of three meters, and landed on the stone beside Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan stepped back quickly, but he didn't know what he tripped and sat on the ground. When the tiger saw this opportunity, he immediately jumped down, and everyone only heard a muffled sound of "poof", followed by a sharp roar of the tiger, and actually gave up Xiao Yuan and turned around and ran. ran more than ten meters and fell to the ground, the road was full of blood.
