On the southeast horizon, a little black shadow gradually appeared, and as the distance approached, it gradually became clear, it was a dozen war horses resting, and there were more than a dozen devil cavalry nearby resting in the grass tiredly.

Seeing the cavalry captain who stopped his horse jumping out of the saddle, a cavalry lieutenant immediately met him: "Thirteen groups have appeared on them." Looking at the trail, they should have turned due south from here, and I just sent a new group to follow the trail south. ”

The captain was stunned: "Isn't there a further position return from the thirteen groups?" ”

"This ...... You can go over there and have a look. ”

A minute later, the cavalry captain stopped beside a horse corpse, the unlucky horse had been shot at least seven or eight times, and there was another horse corpse nearby, as well as the corpses of two cavalry scouts; Walking further, forty or fifty meters away, there was a third horse corpse, and more than ten meters in front of the horse corpse was the corpse of the third cavalry scout, and through the extremely incongruous direction of the head, it seemed that he had broken his neck before he was shot.

Seeing that the lieutenant was staring at the horse corpse and did not speak, the second lieutenant reminded: "Judging by the time, they are within ten kilometers to the south!" Then stare at the captain and wait for the answer, continue to wait here for the cavalry groups to meet or immediately start chasing?

Unexpectedly, this group of eight roads survived another day! The cavalry captain looked up to the south, and the sky in the distance had darkened, and perhaps after half an hour, he would not be able to see how far it was.

Unfolded the map again, compared and compared, and measured and measured: "They will definitely cross the Jinxian Highway tonight, this is the most beneficial choice for them!" Immediately send people to the county seat of Jinxian County to report the latest location and trends of the Eighth Road, and readjust the deployment. The range should be...... The southeast fan-shaped area of Jin County is north of the road to the east of Jin County and west of the road from Jin County to Songxi Town. By tomorrow morning, the Eighth Road must be in this range, and the radius will not be large! In addition, go and contact our two assistant battalions, and let them continue south until the Jin County Highway, and then temporarily return to the Jin County Patrol Team. ”

The second lieutenant had no choice but to ask, "...... Do you want to chase it again now? We can catch up! ”

"What if you catch up? Shine far away before dark? You don't think they're running fast enough? Whip them up again without pain and give them new motivation? Kogoro, calm down, the goal of the cavalry is time, not the enemy. Think about it, how long have they been on the march? Do you think tomorrow they will be able to maneuver the same way they are today? Tomorrow, we will definitely see them again, maybe tomorrow at noon. Tomorrow will be much easier than today! ”

"What if they turn east tonight and flee further?"

"That's a good question! That would make the hunt much longer. I am more inclined to think that they will turn westward and appear tomorrow morning on the north-south line from the county seat of Jinxian to the town of Songxi. Kogoro, not everyone who is running away will panic, I can bet with you this time! ”

At this moment, the cavalry captain's war horse was snorting not far away, and the straight-line distance between it and Lu Hang's Zhongzheng rifle that was bumping behind his shoulder was 7,651 meters.

……

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was so dark that there was not only no moon, but also not a single star, all covered by clouds, and I didn't know the time.

A few miles east of Pine Creek, the barracks that had once been turned into a makeshift concentration camp is still a barracks.

Although the barracks were restored, there were few old people, and they were either transferred or arrested, and the recruit training camp had just ended.

The new battalion commander was loudly announcing the telephone order he had just received: The Eighth Road fled into the southeast of Jin County last night, and the garrison of Songxi Town should cooperate with the blockade operation and establish a blockade line along the road with the friendly forces going south from Jin County.

After some bold remarks, the horses at the gate of the barracks were lifted, and the team rumbled out with torches, yawning for a long time, still languishing.

When the team was exhausted, the two puppet soldiers guarding the gate blocked the horses again, and returned to the dim lantern at the root of the gate wall, holding their rifles and sitting against the wall.

One said: "Neurotic! How can there be so many eight-way? It seems that the eight roads are everywhere! I can't stop sleeping. Hey, don't you say? ”

The other buckled his hat and didn't bother to take care of it, and continued to sleep under the wall.

I don't know how long it was, maybe just before dawn, but there seemed to be footsteps on the road outside the gate. The puppet soldier who spoke earlier yawned and pricked up his ears, stood up with his rifle, and probed out of the gate from the wooden fence: "Who is it?" ”

"I'm looking for someone." A figure was already close, approaching the faint light of the gate, and cautiously stopped, spreading his arms to his sides to signal that he was not a dangerous person.

The puppet soldier still pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the person through the horse: "Don't talk nonsense!" Are you a ghost or a human? Stand closer, do you hear? ”

The person who came had to take two more steps closer, and stood outside the horse, the horse lamp next to the door could already illuminate his whole body, and he was choked with dust, and he saw the puppet army frowning: "I see you wearing this like a suit?" ”

"I don't even know what I'm wearing, I picked it up anyway. I'm really here to find someone, urgent! Excuse me, help me call Mancang out. ”

"I said, do you know what this place is? I ......"

The puppet soldier didn't finish his words with the muzzle of the gun, and the sleeping man next to him with his hat buttoned suddenly jumped up, flashed out of the wooden fence to look at people, and his eyes almost fell to the ground: "Brother Wang Qiang? ”

The person who came smiled tiredly outside the rejection: "Mancang, don't come unharmed?" ”

The muzzle of the gun was finally put down by the puppet army, and the feelings are really true!

Seeing the person who came from the horse, he asked Mancang: "How many people are left in your barracks now?" ”

"Nineteen."

"Full Sentinel?"

"After the battalion commander goes out, it is estimated that there will be only four corner posts left."

"Is there a way to solve the problem without firing the gun?"

Man Cang subconsciously looked back at the barracks: "This...... There is a way. How many people do you have? ”

"More than two hundred, I really can't walk, I have nowhere to stop, I want to stay."

The puppet army next to him was already stupid, and only then did he barely pick up his chin: "Wait a minute!" You...... He...... It's ......"

Man Cang turned his head to look at his colleague and said ashamedly: "He is the eighth way." I also...... It's eight ways. ”

The person who refused to come from the horse also turned his eyes to look at the puppet army: "Be quiet!" Don't make any more blind gestures to the muzzle of the gun, lest someone behind me go off the rails! ”

As the cavalry captain thought, Lu Hang did not choose to flee east, although that seemed to be the safest option, and it was the claim made by Captain Meng, but the deeper he went, the slimmer the chance of returning home, which was equivalent to slow death.

Lu Hang did not choose to take risks to the west, although Ma Da thought that this was the only direction once and for all, but Lu Hang did not fully adopt it, but chose the direction to the southwest, going straight to Songxi Town.

Lu Hang judged that Songxi Town was the far end of the enemy's dense blockade, and the First Company of the Special Operations Company and the Qiufeng Guerrillas had not closed their eyes for almost two days and two nights, and their physical strength and energy had reached their limits. Bet that the enemy will think so, the army aviation will repeat the old tricks, and do not hesitate to exhaust all the remaining strength to run out of the light again, Songxi Town is not only the far end, but also the defenders of Songxi Town will definitely participate in the mobilization, what place can be safer than the 'temporary concentration camp' where both Lu Airlines and the Iron Tower once lived?
