Following the code left by Xu Zheyou, Fan Xiaosi, and Fang You on the road ahead, Yan Zhi walked quietly with the soldiers.

In order to save time and physical strength, the brothers chose to take a shortcut and pass by the village of the ethnic minority. By the time they met the first pack, the team was already on the road.

The road at your feet leads to the small village of the minority, which is marked on the military map in extreme detail.

When they came, the brothers chose to take a detour so as not to disturb the people in the village, and now they pass by late at night, and everyone is walking this road for the first time.

Xu Zheyou, Fan Xiaosi, Fang You, the three of them are not only in front of them to detect the traces of wolves, but also as a sudden forward, where the road is slippery, where it is more difficult to walk, you need to pay attention to safety to prevent the soles of your feet from slipping, they are all clearly marked with various secret marks, which greatly saves Yan Zhi's marching time and physical strength.

Since there are many people on this path during the day, there are both hunters and villagers who go up the mountain to pick herbs and wild fruits.

Therefore, although this road is a small road, there are branch roads from time to time, so that sometimes it is confusing which is a branch road and which is a trunk road.

When there is a branch road in front, Xu Zheyou will put a slender branch on the branch intersection to stop it, indicating that they should not go down the road.

When there were several trails leading to several directions on the road, Xu Zheyou and the others would make an arrow out of a tree branch and place it on the main road after determining the main road, so as to accurately point out the marching route for Yan Zhi and them, so as to prevent the brothers from wasting their physical strength and time by taking the wrong road.

Xu Zheyou has been a guerrilla fighter for many years, and he knows the safety precautions that need to be paid attention to when walking in the mountains and forests at night, he will break the small trees on the side of the road and point the branches of the broken trees to dangerous places, so as to warn the people behind them of the danger here, be cautious.

Wu Zhonghua is also a guerrilla master, and he knows the various marks left by Xu Zheyou, and he and Yan Zhi are at the forefront of the team.

The team moved forward quietly, no one spoke, no one smoked, everything was carried out quietly.

Just now, in order to march silently, Yan Yi had asked his brothers to change the devil's shoes, because the devil's shoes had spikes on the soles, and they made a clattering sound when they walked.

During World War II, although the individual equipment of Japanese soldiers was not as good as that of European and American countries, it was definitely better than Chinese soldiers who wore straw sandals, cloth shoes and even barefoot.

The cowhide shoes of the Japanese soldiers are very high, soft and breathable, which can protect the ankles well, and the soles of the shoes are tough and elastic, which can effectively protect the soles of the soldiers' feet from being pierced and broken by mountain stones when walking on mountain roads.

Those who say that Chinese soldiers like to wear light and trouble-free straw shoes and cloth shoes, and are not used to wearing Japanese cowhide military shoes are nonsense, and they are all bullshit that they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.

No matter how hard the soles of the feet are, can they be harder than the tough soles?

On the battlefield, once you hurt your foot during a rapid march, you will almost be given a suspended death sentence, and the sentence may be commuted to death at any time.

There is no turning back on the battlefield, only a small life that is accidentally lost.

In terms of the shoes of the soldiers on both sides, the Chinese soldiers are far behind.

The Winged Valley completely annihilated all the Japanese troops, and the soldiers of the Brothers of Brothers took the shoes of the Japanese soldiers and put them on, and these shoes were worn by the devils and no longer grinded their feet.

New shoes grind your feet.

The Japanese soldiers usually love to be clean, and the devil soldiers stationed in the Winged Valley have no war, so they pay more attention to hygiene.

There are still a lot of new shoes in the Devil's Quartermaster's Depot, but for soldiers who need a night army, new shoes are not suitable.

Therefore, Yan Zhi asked the soldiers to change into the shoes on the feet of the Japanese soldiers, and everyone chose the ones that fit them. As for new shoes, everyone can bring them as long as they want to, as long as they don't hinder the march, and they will be burned in the end anyway, leaving nothing for the little devils.

Soldiers have long been accustomed to wearing dead people's shoes, who has not taken off the shoes of dead people on the battlefield, and wearing them can still be called war?

Who hasn't kept warm with the clothes of a dead man?

Sometimes, when there is a shortage of food, not only do they take the food from the dead, but they even break the food that the dead man puts in his mouth and take it away.

Some soldiers still complained a little about Major Yan asking everyone to wear shoes worn by dead people, and not letting everyone wear new shoes, and after several veterans' explanations, the soldiers knew that the chief was for the good of his brothers.

It can be seen from this how pitiful the Chinese soldiers were during the anti-Japanese period. Most of the time, many soldiers wore straw sandals and cloth shoes, were hungry, armed with the most inferior weapons, and armed to the teeth.

Due to the huge consumption of the war, the Japanese later added iron nails to the soles of their shoes, which could reduce the rapid wear and tear of the shoes and save materials.

Therefore, the sound of clattering shoe spikes could be heard everywhere the Japanese soldiers went, which also became a symbol of the Japanese army in China later.

The team walked a few kilometers further, and the forward of Xu Zheyou's three people did not come with news about the wolves, but Wu Zhonghua found the words left by Xu Zheyou on a large tree pole.

The trunk of a big tree was cut off with a palm-sized bark with a formal bayonet, which was basically difficult to find in the dark and foggy night, but Xu Zheyou intentionally or unintentionally threw a branch on the side of the road, and there were a few fresh leaves on the branch, as long as you were careful, you could find that in the grass that the branch pointed to, a piece of bark was half exposed......

Xu Zheyou's handwriting is crooked, and it looks like the handwriting is from two people. No, it's very likely that three people wrote it together, anyway, these three words are put in the current Chinese teacher......

All wrong.

Yan Zhi didn't even recognize these three words even if he guessed Gamon.

The smell of blood!

Yan Zhi was shocked in his heart, their current location was not far from the cottage of that ethnic minority, and they smelled blood here, what did it mean?

Yan Zhi pinched his nose and sniffed in the southeast direction for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "Wu Zhonghua, can you smell blood?" ”

"I didn't smell it! But Xu Zheyou said that if there is a smell of blood, there must be, he is a guerrilla master of hunting dogs, and his ability to survive in the wild is even more ...... than that of wild wolves."

Yan Zhi stretched out his hand to stop Wu Zhonghua, signaling him not to talk nonsense and pick up important things.

Wu Zhonghua sneered: "The smell of dew is stronger than that of wind, and sometimes the smell of blood will be stained on grass and leaves, and old hunters smell like this. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed a handful of grass and sniffed it under his nose.

Looking at Wu Zhonghua, who was sniffing grass like a dog, Yan Zhi asked, "How is it?" ”

Wu Zhonghua: "I still haven't smelled it." ”

Yan Zhi slandered the word "roll", and then stepped forward.

Hundreds of meters forward, a faint fishy smell gushed out among the grassy mountains and trees, making Yan Zhi feel a little sick to his stomach. Although he used to kill people, this experience of smelling a faint smell of blood in the mountains and forests still made him feel a little weird.

The smell of blood of the devils in the Winged Valley is too strong, although it is so brutal that it is disgusting, but those corpses are really in front of you, and now this faint smell of blood wafts from an unknown distance, and it is especially disturbing in the middle of the night when there are hidden mysteries and murderous intentions.

Weird, murderous intent, and ferociousness, all come with a faint smell of blood.
