After some tossing, a large pit was finally dug in the muddy water and these dead expeditionary forces were buried for ten years. Zhao Zhi gathered everyone together and collectively bowed three times to the corpses of the soldiers of the expeditionary force who had been buried in the ground.

Zhao Zhi looked at his watch and waved his hand at the goat, "Everyone's physical strength is almost gone, and if you continue like this, someone will be left behind." Find a few dry trees first, all the people go up to the trees to rest for a while, and when the rain stops, let's go again" There are a lot of unknown insects and poisons in the dense forest, sleeping on the trees is the experience that Zhao Zhi summed up after they fled into the dense forest, which is very effective.

The goat nodded at the machete, and the latter climbed a large tree in a few moments. The machete lay between the branches, and a rattan hung down from the tree. "These trees have grown into a single piece, and there are a lot of branches. People don't fall from above, you climb up along the rattans."

Everyone's bodies were already wet with rain, and the cold air seeped into their bodies along the tattered military uniforms, and they shivered with cold. Everyone climbed up the big tree tremblingly along the rattan, and the space above the canopy was indeed very large, and more than 50 people were resting on the branches.

The goat leaning on Zhao Zhi quietly handed over a small wine jug, signaling Zhao Zhi to take a sip and go to the cold. The jug was passed around in everyone's hands, and when it returned to the goats, there was still most of the jug left. Everyone is reluctant to drink more, this is the only thing that can drive away the cold and refresh everyone, so they should be saved.

Although everyone still lacked clothes and clothing, no one picked up the military uniforms on those corpses, because they didn't want to be the next corpse to be stripped naked. When the corpses of the expeditionary force were buried just now, the goats led the people and got a lot of weapons and ammunition from the dead corpses. Everyone's magazine had more than a dozen bullets in their pockets, and several rifles that had been damaged had been replaced with good guns, which gave everyone a little more confidence to go home.

The rain gradually stopped, and Zhao Zhi on the branch looked at the rainbow after the rain over the dense forest through the canopy. I miss my little friend in Kunming even more, and I'm afraid I won't see him again this time. But compared to the brothers who died in Myitkyina and Mongs, I am lucky, at least I am much closer to home now.

Just when Zhao Zhi was thinking nonsense, the goat quietly patted him and pointed to the tree. A few dozen meters away from their tree, a group of figures faintly appeared. Like ghosts, they slowly and strangely touched in the direction of Zhao Zhi and them.

"It's the Japanese army" Zhao Zhimeng's eyes widened, and he saw the military uniform of the Japanese army. It was a group of Japanese scouts, a dozen of them. The figures were getting closer and closer, and they could already see their faces clearly, and Zhao Zhi even felt that he could smell the sour smell of sweat on the Japanese scouts.

The Japanese scouts were getting closer and closer, and a soldier-like guy suddenly raised his head at the tree where Zhao Zhi and they were hiding. Zhao Zhi suddenly stirred up, and reflexively raised the gun in his hand. There was a "stuck", the gun didn't go off, damn it, I actually forgot that the pistol was not loaded. Zhao Zhi hurriedly pulled the sleeve and loaded the pistol. His movements were so great that the leaves rattled and the soldier pointed to the tree and shouted loudly. Before they could wait, the scouts raised their guns, and the goats next to them fired before them. The bullet got into the head of the Japanese soldier Cao like lightning, and the bullet stirred up the inside of the head of the soldier, and then opened a big hole in the back of the head and drilled into the thigh of a Japanese soldier behind.

The brothers in the trees reacted surprisingly quickly and fired their guns one after another. Suddenly, the branches of the trees were full of tongues of fire that shot downward, and the gunshots rang out, and the few grenades that were left were thrown down the trees and exploded. The Japanese scouts were blinded by the sudden rain of bullets, and they braved the rain of shrapnel and flying bullets, desperately hiding, hoping that they would not be hit. They didn't even expect that there would be someone hiding on such a slippery tree, and that the soldier just looked up to sneeze. But he didn't expect that when he happened to look up, he happened to face Zhao Zhi's tree and made a fool.

Zhao Zhi and the others occupied a favorable shooting range, coupled with the preemptive strike, so they caught the Japanese army by surprise, causing heavy losses to the Japanese scout team. But apparently, the Japanese scouts were also battle-hardened, and after a few minutes of confusion, they began to return fire under the cover of trees and bushes everywhere in the dense forest.

The two sides scuffled together, you came and went, and the fight was very lively. The sound of broken branches, the whistling of bullets, the pulling of bolts, and the shouts were intertwined, and the bustle in the dense forest was unusually bustling for a moment. Zhao Zhi gritted his teeth and hit the entire magazine below, "Bang, Bang,," but it seemed that a Japanese soldier didn't hit it.

However, the goat that shot first shot was very refreshing, and after a rifle magazine, at least 4 Japanese soldiers were killed. A bullet from the Japanese army hit a branch on the goat's head, and the broken branch pierced the goat's ear with blood. "Damn" the goat touched the stinging ear, which was still there. The relieved goat cried out in the tree, "No, this won't work." Damn, the little devil below always changes the shooting position, we are in the tree, the place is too small" Knock down this, the cover of the dense branches doesn't play much role, with the accurate shooting of the Japanese scouts, Zhao Zhi and their five brothers have been killed and fell under the tree. For every person who fell, the Japanese scouts below let out a cheer. Obviously, the remaining few Japanese scouts had decided to fight Zhao Zhi and them as rabbits, and this battle had become a hunt in their eyes.

The machete tightened his long knife on his back, ready to slide down the tree along the rattan, along with Longhair and Uncle Guo. Zhao Zhi was also about to go down, but was stopped by a goat, saying that he was the only officer and should stay in the tree. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" The last three grenades exploded under the tree, and the muddy water splashed under the tree was mixed with and filled with gunsmoke. Effectively blocked the sight of the Japanese scouts. The three of them slid down the tree with a quick machete. "Fire cover" the goat shouted, pulling the trigger under the tree. Under the cover of the fire of the brothers in the trees, the machetes sneaked behind the Japanese scouts. Under the heavy fire of the three submachine guns, the battle was undoubtedly over, and the last five remaining Japanese scouts were beaten into a sieve by machetes.

Zhao Zhi, who got off the tree, stumbled, almost sat in the muddy water, just now a bullet hit his steel helmet, the goat laughed at him Fortunately, he was wearing a German-style steel helmet, if it was American-style, it was estimated that he would be reimbursed.

"Little white face, come here, there's something good" Uncle Guo shouted Zhao Zhi's nickname loudly. There is no way, they veterans don't like to call people by name. Everyone must have a nickname, otherwise when there are good things, it will not be your turn. The little white face was given by Uncle Guo, he said that when he met Zhao Zhi when he just broke out in the dense forest, Zhao Zhi's little face was miserably white, so he called it Little White Face. Zhao Zhi kept explaining that the reason why his face was pale was because he had run a long way in one breath, and he couldn't breathe and was suffocating. But Uncle Guo didn't listen to them at all, so Zhao Zhi had no choice but to accept the obviously dejoratory nickname of Little White Face.

"This was found in the leather bag of the devil soldier Cao" Uncle Guo handed Zhao Zhi a compass, after two days of contact, Zhao Zhi, who knew Uncle Guo's temperament, stretched out his hand, "What else?" Take them all out," a piece of goat glared at Uncle Guo. Uncle Guo is not afraid of Zhao Zhi, but he is afraid of goats. The machete only listens to the goat, and without the goat and the machete, the two guys who have been dealing with the mountains and forests all the year round, none of them can get out of this vast forest sea.

Uncle Guo handed over a map, a telescope and some miscellaneous items in the leather bag, and Zhao Zhishun threw a pack of Japanese cigarettes in the bag to Uncle Guo. "Clean up the battlefield, take away useful things, and prepare to retreat" Zhao Zhi gave the order while looking at the map. Uncle Mei Zizi, who was holding a cigarette, went to clean up the battlefield, and you don't expect any big reason for these big bosses. Give them the most direct benefits, so that they can obey your orders, Zhao Zhi now deeply understands this truth.

"The first few devils were killed, and the bullet boxes were almost all over the ground, and the rice balls in the food boxes were still fresh. It looks like these devils have been in the woods for less than a day, and there must be their supply points nearby. The attentive Xiucai walked up to Zhao Zhi and reported in a low voice. Xiucai is also an outlier among these defeated soldiers, he is a student at Peking University, and entered the national army during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War. Unexpectedly, after losing battles along the way, a promising student became a ruffian. There was no way for him to join the expeditionary force, he slept with a quartermaster's wife in Tengchong, and the quartermaster was arresting him everywhere, so he had to join the expeditionary force and hide.

"Are you sure?" Zhao Zhi put away the map and looked at Xiucai eagerly. "Yes, the goat has also seen it, so I can be sure," Xiucai replied with a calm face. There are Japanese supply points nearby, which shows that the Japanese army will not have a small number of troops in this area. Originally, these more than 50 routs who lacked guns and ammunition were able to stand out from here was a question, but now there is a possibility that there are a large number of Japanese troops around, Zhao Zhi was stunned for a moment, how should this be good?
