In the spring rains, in the mountain jungle, water streams mixed with blood flow down the mountain, and near the stream, scattered corpses in Argentine military uniforms.

On the bank of the stream, Ma Jizu and his party stopped and carefully observed the situation at the scene.

"The corpses have begun to stink, and according to time calculations, the fighting took place about five days ago." Ma Jizu covered his nose and looked around the nearby corpses and spoke.

"Company commander, a week ago, the fourth batch of transport troops reported encountering Argentine troops, which led to the failure of the transport operation, could it be that the operation exposed the location of the camp of Lord Sun's troops, so this battle broke out." The deputy company commander under Ma Jizu speculated.

"It's possible." Ma Jizu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and agreed: Master Sun's troops have been fighting with the Argentine encirclement and suppression army for more than half a year, and our operation to transport food and materials has been going on, and it is impossible for Argentina not to be aware of it. My guess is that the Argentines probably knew that the troops led by Sun were backed by the Wehrmacht, but because the main Argentine forces were fighting against the Paraguayan army and could not concentrate on the insurgents in the north, they did not declare war on the Wehrmacht.

"If the Argentines find out that the armed forces in the north are backed by our army, wouldn't Sun's troops be dangerous?"

The deputy company commander was worried.

"Not only will Sun's troops face a difficult situation, but transportation operations will also be more difficult." Ma Jizu frowned, "The situation in northern Argentina has undergone new changes, and after we return, we will immediately report the situation here to the above." Also, now everyone is on guard and carefully dealing with possible enemy situations! ”

"Yes."

When the order was given, the soldiers who were resting on the rocks by the stream quickly got up and scattered in battle formation, hiding on the high ground by the stream, behind trees, and so on.

Soon after the soldiers dispersed and hidden, the three soldiers who set off on a reconnaissance mission quickly climbed down the mountain and the jungle.

Removing his disguise, one soldier gasped, "A camp on the hill is full of corpses, and there are thousands of people in dense packs. ”

"What about Lord Sun? Did you see our troops? ”

Thousands of people died in the camp, Ma Jizu subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and asked eagerly.

"No, not a single living person in the camp."

"Quick, take me to camp at once." Ma Jizu was anxious in his heart, and decisively ordered, "Leave twenty people to guard the ship's supplies, and the others will follow me immediately." ”

"Whoa," the soldiers on combat alert immediately divided into two groups, and a team of more than fifty people quickly stepped on the rifles on their bodies and followed the three soldiers who led the way to the camp on the mountain.

In the camp, the fence of the wooden buildings built along the mountain pass fell to the ground, and the thatched huts and wooden sheds were burned by the fire, leaving only fragments of wooden planks to smoke in the rain.

"All the staff are on alert to search, I can't find a single person alive!"

The dense corpses in the camp were not only white Argentines, but also shirtless Indians, and among the corpses, Ma Jizu had seen five or six Chinese wearing Indian costumes.

The previous fears became a reality, because the last transport operation failed, and the Argentines discovered the camp of the Sanctuary of Sunqi and concentrated a large number of troops to launch an attack on the camp.

Killed on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather. Thousands of corpses were left at the scene of the battle, and neither the Argentine side, which had a slightly smaller number, nor the Sanctuary of Sun Qi collected the corpses, indicating that the battle scene at that time must have been fierce.

Ma Jizu's face was heavy, and at this time, the soldiers who had scattered the search reported the situation: there were about 600 Indians who died in the camp, more than 70 Chinese corpses, and about 500 Argentine soldiers.

"Did you find a live mouth?"

"No, the camp was searched and not a single living person was found."

"There are two hundred brothers in the Wehrmacht under Lord Sun, and only more than seventy brothers' bodies were found at the scene, the other brothers must still be alive, and if you search carefully, you must find Lord Sun!" Ma Jizu was emotional and ordered loudly.

The reporting soldier glanced at Ma Jizu in fear, and before the words of advice could be spoken, he was interrupted by the deputy company commander beside him: You go down first, I have something to say to the company commander.

After sending away the soldiers who reported away, the deputy company commander said: Only more than 70 bodies of Wehrmacht brothers were found in the camp, indicating that Master Sun and the remaining 100 brothers are still alive, but today is the agreed time for the transfer of supplies.

"Lord Sun's men are all carefully selected elite soldiers, and if they can force him to abandon the camp and leave, they must have encountered great difficulties." After listening to the analysis of his deputy company commander, Ma Jizu's mood gradually stabilized.

"Argentina has killed more than 500 people, and it has cost a huge amount, and we will definitely not easily set fire to the surviving troops of Lord Sun's department, so we should immediately return to Rio Gran do Sul to clarify the situation above, and let His Royal Highness the Prince decide to discuss countermeasures to solve the crisis of Lord Sun's department."

"Soon after the fighting, the Argentines may leave troops nearby for blockade missions, and it would be dangerous for us to delay here for too long. So I have decided to send you to lead the main force back to Rio Gran do Sul, and I will stay behind and lead the thirty to be responsible for finding and contacting Lord Sun. ”

"Company commander, just leave the task of contacting Lord Sun to me, you don't have to take the risk yourself."

"No, you've just carried out two transport missions, and you don't know the situation in northern Argentina, so your stay won't be of much use."

"But the company commander ......"

"Nothing, I know that Lord Sun has set up another secret camp, they are likely to be hiding there, and it is more suitable for me to stay." Ma Jizu took out the majesty of a commander and ordered, "Unload the food and supplies, leave two more small boats, you lead the rest of the brothers to leave and leave, Deputy Company Commander Wu, execute the order immediately!" ”

"Yes." The deputy company commander replied and reluctantly led more than 40 soldiers to leave.

After his deputy company commander left, Ma Jizu led his 30 soldiers to temporarily place the unloaded grain and 200 Dreiser rifles in a hidden jungle, and then drove two small boats to another secret base with sufficient ammunition.

In a valley four hundred miles away from Ma Jizu's location, a Chinese soldier in disguise nimbly walked through the dense jungle, pulled through the bushes blocking the front of the mountain bottom, and entered a hidden cave.

"How's it going out there?" A lean man spoke.

"The exit of the valley is defended by seven hundred Argentine troops, who show no signs of retreating."

"It looks like the Argentines want to trap us in the valley."

The lean man looked back at the dozens of wounded people lying in the cave. With a solemn expression, he said, "After breaking through the encirclement of the Argentine troops, our weapons and ammunition were lost, and the only three 75mm guns were also left in the camp and not brought out, with the current seventy or eighty rifles and five or six hundred rounds of ammunition, it is difficult to break through the blockade of the Argentine troops deployed in the valley." The situation is very unfavorable to us, and there is only one way to die in the valley, and the brothers all share their opinions to see if they can find a solution to the dilemma. ”

For the first time, the capable man had a feeling of powerlessness, and after thinking to no avail, he could only put the problem in front of all the surviving soldiers, hoping to rely on their ideas to find a way out of the predicament for the remaining troops.

"Deputy Commander, if it weren't for the presence of Indian spies in the camp and the cooperation of the Argentine troops to attack the camp in response to the foreign attack, we would not have lost so badly. At present, there are only more than 80 brothers who can maintain their combat effectiveness, and more than 40 brothers are wounded, and in this case, even if all the brothers who can fight are concentrated to attack the Argentine blockade troops, the wounded brothers will not be able to withdraw. According to the duties, it is better to fight with the Argentines while the brothers still have a little strength, than to stay in the valley and starve to death! ”

"Brothers all crawled out of the pile of dead, I believe that no brother is afraid of death, but you are the elite selected from tens of thousands of troops of the Wehrmacht, I brought you to northern Argentina to complete the important task assigned by the prince, before the task is completed, any nonsense about killing is an act of disobeying the order of the prince!

Lieutenant! You have to understand your mission and don't live up to the responsibilities you have on your shoulders! ”

Sun Qisheng, a capable man who escaped from the camp, when resisting the attack of the Argentine encirclement and suppression troops, due to the neglect of the supervision of the Indian armed forces under his command, caused a Indian armed force that had just defected to the enemy to rebel, and the rebellious Indian armed forces used the main force of the camp to deploy on the front line, and the reason for the weak defense inside the camp deceived the Chinese soldiers guarding the ammunition depot on the grounds of receiving ammunition, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards to annihilate more than 30 Chinese soldiers, blowing up the ammunition depot in one fell swoop, and finally led to the failure of Sun Qi's defense department, had to abandon the camp, led the remaining Chinese to fight and flee.

Indians and white Argentines have loved and killed each other for hundreds of years, during which there were not only forces that resisted the rule of white Argentines and gathered arms to fight against whites, but also Indians who were disappointed in the future and were willing to turn to whites in exchange for survival.

Sun Qisheng successfully completed many missions under Li Mingyuan, and after entering the northern part of Argentina, with the support of a sufficient number of guns and ammunition in the rear, he quickly opened up the situation, and the Indian armed forces under his command reached 1,700 at the maximum.

After the camp was lost, the bitter lesson made Sun Qisheng realize his negligence and inadequacy. However, the consequences of the Indian armed rebellion have already been done, and Sun Qisheng's first concern is how to lead the remaining 100-odd soldiers out of the encirclement of the Argentine troops.

After scolding a low-ranking officer with radical ideas, Sun Qisheng glanced at the soldiers in the cave, but no one spoke.

After a long silence, Sun Qisheng sighed, "The brothers don't have any ideas, so let's use the last method." The surviving brothers stayed in the cave and sent a few brothers through the Argentine blockade, then contacted the transport troops from the rear, tried to get weapons supplies from the transport troops, and then looked for an opportunity to break the blockade of the Argentine troops. ”

Today is the time for Sun Qi's Sanctuary Department to agree with the rear transport troops to hand over the supplies, but Sun Qisheng and the others are trapped in the valley and cannot get out, and their hiding place is more than 300 miles away from the destroyed camp, so it is very difficult to break through the blockade of the Argentine troops and get in touch with the transport troops.

Sun Qisheng understood the danger of passing through the Argentine blockade line and the risk of crossing hundreds of miles to contact the transport troops, but with more than 100 surviving soldiers in a desperate situation, he had to resort to this method to have a chance of survival.

Licking his dry lips, Sun Qisheng said seriously, "Although it is relatively difficult for a small dispersion to pass through the blockade line of the Argentine troops, the brothers involved in the operation still have to face the danger of dying and living, this mission is a voluntary action, which brother is willing to carry out the task can stand up, and I will not be reluctant to ...... if I am not willing to carry out the task."

As soon as Sun Qisheng was halfway through his words, more than a dozen people stood up in the cave.

"Don't make a decision so quickly, give everyone a quarter of an hour to think about it, and it's not too late to make a decision after thinking about it." Sun Qisheng beckoned the soldiers who stood up to sit down.

"Deputy commander, it's better to stay in the cave and wait for death, it's better to fight and rush out, I've already made a decision, don't think about it anymore!"

"Going out to contact the troops may save the lives of the brothers in the valley, Commander, we are ready, you give the order!"

Several voices of voluntary execution of orders fell, and more and more soldiers took the initiative to stand up.

"Good." Sun Qisheng stood up and said with relief, "You are all good brothers in the kingdom of heaven, I believe in your courage and blood, but the number of people who carry out the breakout mission is best not more than five people, too many people will not only weaken the defense of the valley, but also increase the risk of being discovered by the Argentine troops, so I decided to let the five brothers who stood up first carry out the breakout mission", the other brothers who can still stand up are responsible for launching a feint attack on the Argentine troops tonight to cover the five brothers to break through, do you have any opinions!

"Follow the orders of the deputy commander!" Answering Sun Qisheng's matter, there was a neat voice.

"Check the remaining weapons and ammunition, and launch the operation at noon tonight."

"Yes"......
