Chapter 18: The Bloody Battle in the Mountains and Forests (Part II)

The situation was urgent, Zhang Zhenguo didn't have time to ask more, and stretched out his hand to pull Liu Chengcheng to run.

The devil behind him was in hot pursuit, and the whistling bullets grazed his body from time to time.

They ran in a hail of bullets, stopping from time to time to fight back, just to buy time for the other comrades to evacuate.

After the break, this matter is said to be heroic, and it is even more heroic to do.

The devils hung behind them, in order to consume their physical strength and bullets, and the moment they ran out of bullets, it was the moment of death.

Perhaps, death is still a kind of luck, once captured alive, what awaits them will be unimaginable doom.

As time passed, a hint of fish belly white began to appear on the horizon.

It's dawn!

Several people clearly knew that once dawn, with the distance between them and the devil now, there would be no chance at all.

Li Erniu rushed to Zhang Zhenguo's side with the only machine gun and said in a deep voice:

"Captain, it's going to dawn, you guys go quickly, I'll stay and drag the devil! There's a river not far ahead, and you've blown it up after you cross it! ”

As he spoke, he untied an explosive bag from his body and stuffed it into Zhang Zhenguo's hand, and was about to reflexively meet the devil's team.

Zhang Zhenguo grabbed him:

"Give me the gun! You go, I'll stay! ”

Li Erniu's face was anxious:

"Captain......

"Less nonsense, let's go!"

Li Erniu knew that now was not the time to fight, and if it dragged on, none of them would be able to leave.

He handed Zhang Zhenguo the machine gun and the only two remaining magazines, took a deep look at him, picked up the explosives bag and ran quickly forward.

At this time, Liu Chengcheng was hiding behind a big rock not far away, and Li Erniu in a hurry didn't notice him.

The devil was getting closer and closer, Zhang Zhenguo walked and retreated with a machine gun, and soon retreated to the river.

The river was twelve or thirteen meters wide, and there was a simple wooden bridge over it, and the water under the bridge was so fast that it was almost impossible for a person to swim across it.

He glanced back, Li Erniu, Wang Gensheng and Ma Liancheng had already arrived on the other side, but they did not find Liu Cheng's figure.

Without waiting for him to find it, Liu Cheng's figure suddenly flashed out from behind a big tree and quickly approached him.

Zhang Zhenguo hurriedly pulled the trigger and swept a row of bullets at the approaching devil.

Liu Chenggang rushed to Zhang Zhenguo's side, and the devil's bullet also followed.

The two of them were lying on the ground with their heads in their arms, and they couldn't even lift their heads under the pressure of the whistling bullets.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion suddenly sounded on the other side of the river, and the broken wooden bridge, which had been a few years old, could not resist the impact of the earth explosives, and after a few seconds, the end near the opposite bank plunged into the river.

The turbulent river instantly broke the half of the wooden bridge that was still struggling, and after a few waves, the shadow of the wooden bridge was lost on the river surface.

At this time, the sun had already revealed half of its face, and Ono Taro saw this scene and almost vomited blood on the spot.

How could he not be angry that all this painstakingly arranged was wasted with this explosion?

"Yaga!"

Ono violently pulled out his command knife and shouted something with a hideous face, and those devil soldiers immediately hit the fire and shot at the location where Zhang Zhenguo and Liu Cheng were hiding.

Zhang Zhenguo replaced the last magazine and said to Liu Cheng with a wry smile:

"Boy, it seems that the two of us won't be able to go this time, I won't ask you anymore, just let you go on the road with your secrets, and you can tell me when you are free on the way."

Liu Cheng glanced at Zhang Zhenguo, then turned his head to look at the steep slope not far behind him, and said calmly:

"Captain, there is a river below the steep slope, should we take a gamble? It's better to fall to death than to be beaten into a sieve, right? ”

Zhang Zhenguo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:

"Good! That's it! ”

With that, he poked the muzzle of the gun out and pulled the trigger.

At this time, there is no need to aim, dozens of guns are aimed at you on the opposite side, as long as you probe, you don't even have a chance to shoot.

After the bullet was fired, the two looked at each other, and instantly bounced off the ground at the same time, jumping down the steep slope.

"Puff, puff"

The two of them were also lucky, and they both fell into the river.

At the beginning of May, the river water in the northeast was still cold and biting, and the two jumped down from the slope of a mountain four or five meters high, and were instantly shaken, and drank a few sips of cold river water.

When Ono Taro led people to rush over, he only saw the figures of the two of them flashing a few times on the turbulent river, and then disappeared.

He stared at the river for a moment with a gloomy face, then turned around and retreated the same way he came.

When Wang Gensheng and the three of them caught up with Li Min, Li Min was anxiously circling in place.

Seeing them, Li Min immediately greeted them and asked:

"What about Comrade Zhenguo?"

The three of them looked gloomy and bowed their heads silently.

Li Min understood at once, he took a deep breath, turned around and said loudly to everyone:

"It's not safe here, everyone get up and keep walking!"

Wang Gensheng's eyes swept over the crowd and found that there were seven or eight people missing.

He took a few steps to catch up with Li Min, tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice:

"Lao Li, it seems to be ......"

Li Min quietly wiped a handful on his face and said lightly:

"That's all for the withdrawal."

Wang Gensheng gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more.

Panshi County.

The Japanese truck stopped at the corner of the street in the center of the county, and a team of devils brought down nine corpses from the truck and laid them on the ground in a row.

The people who passed by were frightened when they saw the corpse, and they just wanted to leave, but they were stopped by those devil soldiers.

Ono Taro jumped out of the truck, pulled out his pistol and fired a shot into the air, and the crowd fell silent.

He walked over to the corpse and stood still, and said in a loud voice to the people:

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the Imperial Army was stationed in the Rock, military discipline has been strict and the people have not been offended, but now there are people who openly challenge the majesty of the Empire! The last time was a sneak attack on the gendarmerie, and then they incited the people to oppose Japan, these people are all heinous people, and they are people who will be killed! ”

As he spoke, his gaze kept scanning the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.

After a pause, Ono continued:

"These people on the earth, they still have allies! If any of you know them or know someone with whom they move around a lot, you can report to the gendarmerie, and if the information is accurate, you will be rewarded with three oceans each! ”

After saying this, the crowd immediately began to talk.

Ono ignored it and went straight back to the gendarmerie.

He had a row of five-meter-high wooden poles erected on the side of the street, and the corpses were hung on them, and people were assigned to guard them in turn.

After returning to his office, Ono closed the door, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it on the floor.

Seven detachments were dispatched, and only eight corpses were brought back, a result that Ono Taro had never expected before.
