Chapter 397: A Survivor
In this way, several people drove the carriage all the way quickly, and soon walked out for three or four miles.
The safety of the road also made Zhao Shixun and the others gradually relax their guard.
……
"Huh...... What a big smell of blood?! ”
Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Lu Baichuan, who was sitting in the car, suddenly opened his squinted eyes.
In a low cheer, while quickly pulling out the box cannon on his waist, he leaned out and pulled the reins in Heiwa's hand, and directly stopped the carriage sharply.
The next moment, Zhao Shixun and Lu Baichuan, who also felt that something was wrong, jumped out of the carriage almost at the same time.
"Heiwa, you protect Doctor Shao and drive the carriage off the official road, quickly!"
After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun and Lu Baichuan glanced at each other, nodded and carefully touched the grass along the side of the road together.
The smell of blood, it's too strong!
Walking in the grass on the side of the road, Zhao Shixun's brows furrowed deeply.
And with the mountain wind coming slowly in front of him, the bloody gas in the air became more intense, and at the same time, Zhao Shixun's heart was also shocked.
As a veteran who has come all the way from the sea of corpses and blood, Zhao Shixun knows very well that it is the smell of human blood, and it is definitely not a little bit.
Soon, after the two searched the valley for a distance of several tens of meters, they finally found an anomaly in a hidden weed pile.
I saw that among the weeds and rubble, more than 20 corpses of the puppet army fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Shixun's face turned cold.
Could it be that there are really bandits operating in this area?
Thinking of this, he looked at the surrounding environment with a wary expression, and motioned to Lu Baichuan, who was not far away, to check it out nearby, and asked him to pay attention to safety and not fall into the trap of others.
……
Ten minutes later, Cho Se-hoon, who had walked around the neighborhood and found nothing, finally returned to the place where the body was found.
And seeing Zhao Shixun come back, Lu Baichuan, who had been squatting in the pile of corpses for a while, stood up with a puzzled face, and then walked quickly in front of Zhao Shixun with an object.
"Detachment leader, something is not quite right, you see what I found."
Hearing this, he took the bag in Lu Baichuan's hand, and Zhao Shixun immediately realized something after padding it.
"Silver Dollar...... Was it found from these corpses? ”
"Right...... And I just found out that many of these people were not shot to death! ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shixun, who was surprised, immediately followed Lu Baichuan to the pile of corpses of the puppet army and took a closer look.
……
After a moment, Zhao Shixun's fingers picked up from the neat knife edge on the corpse, and then looked at the same wounds on several corpses around him, and the next moment, his face began to become even more gloomy.
Through his and Lu Baichuan's inspection, Zhao Shixun found that except for the six corpses here that were killed by bullets, the remaining corpses all died from penetrating wounds caused by bayonets!
……
"Detachment leader, since it is unlikely to be a bandit, do you think it will be the militia of this generation?"
Seeing Zhao Shixun in a daze, Lu Baichuan squatted down and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, he glanced at the other party, Zhao Shixun picked up the dead branch on the ground and pointed to a knife on the corpse.
"You see, no matter how big or small the knife edge here, there are traces of rotation after piercing, this technique looks like the work of a veteran who is good at assassination, and it is absolutely impossible for the militia to do it."
Hearing this, looking at the knife edge on the corpse, Lu Baichuan was also a little blindsided.
"Could it be that it is really Heiwa Dapeng who did it?"
Looking at Zhao Shixun, Lu Baichuan said what he thought in his heart. He felt that if it weren't for the bandits, then the only armed force in this generation that could wipe out so many puppet armies at once would be the independent detachment operating in this area.
"I don't know...... It stands to reason that it can't be ....... ”
Snap .......
Snap .......
Suddenly, a crisp and faint tapping sound faintly reached the ears of the two of them.
And almost at the moment when they heard the abnormal noise, Zhao Shixun and Lu Baichuan had already pulled out their weapons and hid in the pile of corpses.
……
"...... ahead."
Pointing to a pile of weeds not far away, Lu Baichuan said in a low voice.
Hearing this, he nodded, and Zhao Shixun immediately motioned to the other party and his flanks to outflank him.
Understanding Zhao Shixun's intentions, Lu Baichuan immediately got up and walked around from the left side.
A few minutes later, after walking along the gentle slope for dozens of meters, the two finally discovered the source of the abnormal sound - a puppet soldier who fell by the mountain stream and was covered in blood.
As if hearing someone coming behind him, the puppet soldier lying by the stream hurriedly let out a burst of intermittent humming, trying to make a cry for help. At the same time, he raised the stone in his hand again with great force and knocked it on the pebbles by the stream.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Shixun raised his gun and Lu Baichuan cautiously walked behind the puppet army, and after hesitating for a moment, they flipped the other party over with one hand.
"Save ...... Help me...... Save...... Save me....... ”
The puppet army, who had an obvious scar on the corner of his mouth, saw Zhao Shixun and the others, and immediately let out a painful plea.
Hearing this, looking at the seriously injured puppet soldiers on the ground, Zhao Shixun leaned down and briefly checked the other party's wounds, and soon found that it was also a bayonet wound.
"Who attacked you?"
Looking at each other, Zhao Shixun asked coldly and directly:
“…… Be...... It's the Eight Roads...... Eight-way ...... Devil....... ”
As he spoke, the puppet army on the ground suddenly rolled his eyes and passed out directly.
Seeing this, Zhao Shixun hurriedly shook the other party a few times, trying to wake the other party up. However, after only a few tens of seconds, he stood up helplessly.
There is no way, this puppet army has lost too much blood and has fallen into a state of shock.
Lu Baichuan...... You stay here, I'll go up there. ”
"Uh-huh......."
……
After a few more minutes, Zhao Shixun, who had returned, returned to the stream with two skins.
Leaning down, he quickly took off his coat and covered the bleeding wound of the puppet army, and then used the belt removed from the corpse to quietly strangle the wound on the puppet army's chest and coat, so that the other party would not die of blood loss in a short time.
After doing this, Zhao Shixun asked Lu Baichuan to help the unconscious puppet army up, and then returned to the location where Heiwa and them were hiding on his back.
……
After a while, the carriage that was originally hidden in the grass drove onto the official road again, and the only difference at this moment was that in addition to the original few people in the carriage, there was another half-dead puppet army.
"Mengru, you feed him some water, don't let him die on the road."
"Well...... don't worry. I checked his wound just now, it should not hurt his internal organs, and when I get back, I will stitch him up and close the incision, maybe he can still be saved. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shixun breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Zhao Shixun also began to recall the words he heard by the stream.
"Eight Roads...... Devil...... Grandma's, what the hell is this thing going on? ”
From time to time, these two words that don't match each other at all appear in his mind, and Zhao Shixun was a little confused after thinking for a while, not understanding what this puppet army was talking about.
Feeling some brain pain, Zhao Shixun shook his head helplessly, and glanced back at the puppet army who was still unconscious.
"It seems that we will only have to wait for this thing to wake up...... talk."
……
In this way, when the sun rose from the horizon again, Zhao Shixun and the others also drove back to the Shenquanzhai station.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Zhao Shixun immediately asked the communication soldiers to use walkie-talkies to call back all the leaders of the three companies outside.
At noon, Zhao Shixun called everyone for an impromptu meeting.
At the meeting, Zhao Shixun told everyone in detail about the information collected during his trip to Xia County and the surrounding situation, and then asked about the combat readiness of each company.
At the end of the meeting, Zhao Shixun asked each company one by one whether it had sent guerrillas to carry out activities in Chenjiayu in Xia County, and the result was that none of the companies had been dispatched abroad.
Although Zhao Shixun did not say anything more at the meeting after receiving personal confirmation from the company commanders, he did demand that starting today, all companies should double their guard posts and implement a two-check system of passwords for entering and leaving the base areas and walkie-talkies, so as to strictly guard against the infiltration of spies.
After the meeting, the restless Zhao Shixun sent off the leaders of each company, returned directly to the headquarters, pulled He Zhendong and the old immortal out of the conference room non-stop, and went straight to the health team not far away.
At the same time, on the way to the health team, Zhao Shixun did not hide anything, and directly told the two of them about the special situations encountered on the road.
……
"The ...... of the turtle son I heard your baby say this, how do you feel that something is wrong? ”
After listening to Zhao Shixun's narration, the wrinkles on the old immortal's face were piled together almost instantly. Subconsciously picked up the pipe and took a puff, he touched the stubble on his face and stopped.
Seeing that the old immortal didn't seem to be able to say anything, Zhao Shixun turned his inquiring gaze to He Zhendong, who was contemplative.
Noticing that Zhao Shixun was looking at himself, He Zhendong stopped in place and muttered for a moment, then squinted his eyes and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, this generation should be the only one of our Eighth Route Army units active. And according to your description, these puppet troops were obviously ambushed by regular troops.
Moreover, according to your analysis of the corpses on the battlefield, most of them were killed by bayonets ....... ”
Speaking of this, He Zhendong casually picked up a lump of soil on the ground, and then gently crushed it in the palm of his hand.
"From what I know about the puppet army, they will never fight any white-knuckle battle with the enemy.
Just like this lump of dirt, if the situation had developed to the point where it required a white-knuckle battle, the puppet army would have surrendered long before ....... ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shixun immediately realized something.
"Brother Zhendong means that most of these puppet soldiers were killed after surrendering."
Hearing this, He Zhendong patted the soil on his palm.
"Now we have three things that we can confirm.
First, the puppet army was killed after surrendering.
Second, the property on the puppet army is all there, which shows that it is not the bandits who did it.
Third, the survivor said the word "Eight Roads", and our troops had not been active in that area. ”
