The mountains are high and dense, and there is no path, even if the pine torch is lit to illuminate it, it is still inevitable that one will not see clearly and fall to the ground. After barely walking three or five miles in the mountains and forests, the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who opened the road in front had already fallen and injured several times, and they were thrown to the side of the road and ignored them with a mournful scream, and they saw that they were waiting for death.

Despite this, under the threat of the bayonets of the Japanese soldiers behind him, he was extremely thirsty after the water was cut off, but the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army walking towards Quanzigou still did not slow down the speed of the march. When the woodland in front suddenly became sparse, a white leper who was walking in the front snorted violently, and suddenly turned his head happily and shouted in his voice: "Big brother, I smell watery!" Not more than a mile ahead, you can definitely find water! ”

Relying on the support of the adjutant beside him, the white leper who was about to stick out his tongue in the mountains and forests listened to the shouting from ahead, and suddenly opened his hoarse voice and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for?" Quickly call a few brothers with fast legs to find water, and the others ...... Rest in place! ”

Listening to the hoarse shouts of the white leper, the adjutant who supported the white leper staggering forward along the way suddenly frowned suspiciously, and whispered to the white leper who fell crookedly and sat down on the ground: "Big brother, there is still a mile to find water here, why should we stop at this time?" ”

Straightening his sore legs with difficulty, the white leper groaned and whispered, "Why don't you say you don't have brains?" Lao Tzu is a geographical ghost in Qingle and Gongnan counties, and naturally knows that water can be found in this spring. But there are also local characters in the Eighth Route Army, maybe they will pinch the joints that we have to go into Quanzigou to find water, and wait to beat us in Quanzigou! Don't care about the side first, let's call a few people into Quanzigou first, and come back with some water, without delay! ”

Before he had time to pat the white leper a few words, He Luoya, who was also sweating profusely in the mountains and forests, suddenly rushed up from the rear of the team, and shouted at the white leper who had just rested: "Captain Bai, why didn't you leave all of a sudden?" The former Taijun of Houtou Island is angry......"

He squinted his eyes and glanced at He Luoya, and the white leper snorted ignorantly: "Translator He, I don't care about you about this parroting affair with the Japanese." I can't afford to take a mouse when I'm marching and fighting, right? To tell you clearly, less than a mile ahead is Quanzigou, and the mountains on both sides of Quanzigou are steep, in case there is an ambush on the mountain, we will lead the imperial army to plunge into it and fall into the ambush......."

Halfway through the words, He Luoya was already busy smiling at the white leper: "Captain Bai, you are still thoughtful!" I'm going to go and tell the island prince in front of him......"

Looking at He Luoya, who was going to report the situation to the half-guards in front of the island with disdain, the white leper snorted coldly disdainfully: "This He Luoya is really a natural dog!" Relying on being able to speak a few words of Japanese, back and forth to make trouble! This means that Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of this bastard thing, otherwise...... Just when the granary was burned, the reason why the old thing in his house showed his face in the granary, I could toss his house restlessly, and I couldn't save a small life! ”

Nodding approvingly, the adjutant who was squatting beside the white leper responded: "It's really what you said, big brother!" I heard that the old thing of the He family has not shown its face in the He family's Daji until now, and eighty percent is still holding it in the hands of the Eighth Route Army! It's really strange in front of this island, knowing that the burning of the grain depot was done by the Eighth Route Army, and it has nothing to do with the old thing of the He family, but he still put He Luoya by his side to summon it....... Big brother, why did you say that the island was doing this? ”

"Why? At the moment, it's hard to find a Chinese who knows Japanese, and the-stirring stick is called as a burning stick, which is just a makeshift ...... Hurry up and help me up, the island is coming! ”

With the strong support of the adjutant, he struggled to stand up, and the careless appearance that was still hanging on the white leprosy's face just now was gone, but it was replaced by a flattering smile, and the half-soldiers in front of the island who were striding towards him shouted very attentively: "Taijun in front of the island, there is Quanzigou one mile ahead, I have already sent scouts to investigate the situation, it is estimated that I can return after a while, and I can bring back some water...... What translator, hurry up and translate it?! ”

Listening to He Luoya's insect-like translation words, the half-guards in front of the island, who were also dry-mouthed, frowned impatiently, but after a while, they nodded slowly......

The night march was already a last resort, especially in this unfamiliar terrain, unknown environment, and strong enemies, which added to the danger. Before getting enough water to replenish it, once a battle breaks out in the dark, even if those Japanese soldiers under their command can barely resist, I am afraid that these Imperial Alliance soldiers will scatter and flee for their lives in the first place!

Once all these Imperial Alliance soldiers who still know the path and direction in the mountains and forests are scattered, even if the Japanese soldiers led by themselves can survive the night, I am afraid it will be difficult to get lost in the mountains and forests where there are no roads marked on the map! There is no need for the Eighth Route Army, which is hidden in the mountains and forests, to attack hard, I am afraid that after a few days of freezing and starvation, the Japanese soldiers under his command will also meet the end of heaven and earth......

Swallowing hard, the half-guards in front of the island barely squeezed out a smile, and nodded towards the white leper with a flattering face: "Captain Bai, you did a good job!" ”

Without waiting for He Luoya to translate the praise of the first half of the guards on the island, several soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who rushed back from the direction of Quanzigou had already rushed to the white leper with several kettles in a hurry: "Big brother, it is quite quiet in Quanzigou, it doesn't look like there is an ambush." A few of us found a look of living water and filled the kettle, big brother, hurry up and drink some water......"

Raising his eyes to look at the clothes of the Imperial Alliance soldiers who were wet by the spring water, and then looking at the obviously moisturized lips of the Imperial Alliance soldiers, the white leper hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking the kettle: "How many of you have drunk the spring water?" What does it taste like? ”

"Sweet! It's so sweet......"

Rolling his eyes, the white leper resisted the urge to drink water, but he handed the kettle to the front of the island with both hands: "Taijun in front of the island, the water is coming, you drink the water first......."

Subconsciously reached out and took the kettle, and the half-guards in front of the island just put the kettle to their mouths, but they paused suddenly, and handed the kettle to He Luoya: "He, you drink!" ”

Just thinking about it for a while, He Luoya suddenly understood what the idea of the white leper and the half-guards in front of the island was fighting, but looking at the smiling appearance of the white leper, and then looking at the vicious eyes of the half-guards in front of the island, He Luoya could only put the kettle to his mouth and drank a few sips of water helplessly......

With his eyes wide, the half-guards in front of the island stared at He Luoya for a quarter of an hour, and after making sure that He Luoya did not have any abnormal situation, he snatched the kettle from He Luoya's hand and drank the remaining water in the kettle in one go.

Taking a heavy breath, the half-guards in front of the island threw the empty kettle to the white leper: "Camp on the spot!" The Imperial Allied Army set up fortifications on the periphery and sent people to fetch water from the ravines, and it was necessary to ensure that the Imperial Army had drinking water! ”

Listening to He Luoya's translated order, the white leper suddenly opened his mouth wide in surprise, and shouted in a low voice: "Taijun in front of the island, let's camp here?" Don't go into Quanzigou? ”

"Now that you can replenish enough water, there is no need to continue the dangerous night march! The terrain around here is open, and after setting up a defensive position, it should be able to withstand the enemy's attack! Wait until tomorrow dawn and then cross the valley ahead! ”

Reluctantly agreeing to the order of the half-guards in front of the island, the white leper weakly shouted to the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army under his command to hastily set up fortifications, and then sent some soldiers of the Imperial Association Army to fetch water from the spring ditch, and then sat down on the ground again.

Watching from afar the Japanese soldiers gather all the lunch boxes and cook simple food on the bonfire that had just been lit, the white leper swallowed his spit fiercely and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, it's all our business after the road is broken, and finally it's time to camp at night, and ask us to be the door gods for them!" This Japanese....... I didn't treat Lao Tzu as a human being at all! ”

Nodding with concern, the adjutant who was squatting beside the white leper replied in a low voice: "That's what I said!" The Japanese can still eat a little, but we don't have anything to eat for a long time! On such a cold day, there is no food in the stomach and chills on the body, and after staying up this night, I am afraid that many brothers will not be able to bear it...... Big brother, we have a small capital, but we really can't stand such a toss......"

He waved his hand very irritably, and the white leper snorted in a low voice: "Can I not know that we have a small capital and can't stand the toss?" But what can Lao Tzu do? Go up and eat with the Japanese? I guess if I want to eat or not, the big mouth can manage enough! Tell the brothers, no matter who still has private goods on them, they will all be taken out by Lao Tzu at this time, and the big guy will make do with boiling some thin soup to deceive his stomach. If anyone hides and wants to sneak away and eat alone, and ask Lao Tzu to copy it out, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless - don't be busy walking first, I remember that you still have some good things on you, right? ”

Very reluctantly, he took out a fist-sized oil-paper bag from his arms, and the adjutant carefully held the oil-paper bag in front of the white leper: "The lamb meat that I brought from Baiweixian when I was about to leave the county seat, although it was put aside for several days and tasted a little wrong, it was still a meat and fishy food....... Big brother, you can leave me some......"

After eating the lamb meat wrapped in the small oiled paper bag in two bites, the white leper smacked his lips unsatisfied, turned the oiled paper in his hand into a ball, and threw it far away: "It's just such a small thing, you eat and I eat it with a gap between your teeth!" When you return to Qingle County, Lao Tzu invites you to eat a good meal! Now...... You just grit your teeth and carry it first! ”
