Looking at the green mountains in the distance, Zhao Shixun solemnly saluted.

"The soldiers who quit their families have no heels, and the generals who serve the country have broken heads."

Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Zhao Shixun turned to look at the remnants of the national army who were crying bitterly behind him.

"Don't fucking cry! All stand upright! ”

When the remnants heard Zhao Shixun's roar, they all froze, and then subconsciously stood up.

"Brethren! General Tang was loyal to the country and died well! Tears can't kill devils!

The heavens have eyes that have allowed us to live until now. Not to mourn the brothers who died in battle! Instead, let's avenge them! Do you understand!? ”

Zhao Shixun's words, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, struck the hearts of every soldier present. Everyone wiped away their tears. looked at the officer who had saved them in awe.

"Good! What rank are you! Are there non-commissioned officers here? ”

"My name is Yuan Tiefeng, and the commander is called my old Yuan, I used to be a platoon commander."

The middle-aged thick black man with high cheekbones stood up and was the first to salute and said.

"My name is Mi Sandou, and I used to be a platoon commander."

"My name is Big Pillar, and I used to be a machine gun squad leader."

After the three of them finished their introductions, seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Shixun walked over and looked at the three non-commissioned officers and said.

"Old Yuan, Mi Sandou, big pillar. Now the three of you will take a few people and go to the mountains to search, there are thirteen corpses of puppet soldiers, each of you will find a usable weapon and take it, and take all the ammunition and food! Ten minutes for you, and we'll be here in ten minutes! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Seeing that more than a dozen soldiers had gone up the mountain, Zhao Shixun walked towards the stretcher on the ground.

On the tattered earthen stretcher, a captain officer of the national army was lying quietly, and after just one glance, Zhao Shixun concluded that the officer in the photo was the one lying on the ground.

Lean down and return the diary to its original owner.

"Battalion commander, this thing is probably the one on the ground."

The voice of the old immortal sounded behind him, and a pocket watch with a silver shell was handed over.

In the open lid of the watch, a woman's head is inlaid inside.

After taking the pocket watch, Zhao Shixun found that a broken pocket watch chain was leaking from the chest of the body on the ground.

Stuffing the pocket watch into the other party's pocket, Zhao Shixun slowly stood up and looked at the old immortal.

"How did you find this pocket watch? Have you gone through the pockets of the dead? ”

"Hey...... Sir, these two dogs' things were all stolen from the Chinese people, and I am just taking them back on behalf of the Chinese. ”

took a deep look at the old immortal, and Zhao Shixun didn't ask. After all, this kind of thing is very common in the national army, not to mention that the other party is still a second dog.

Not long after, thirteen remnants of the Nationalist army who had gone up the hill ran down, each carrying a rifle on their backs. Lao Yuan was holding a box cannon with an excited face.

"Is there something wrong with everyone?"

Seeing everyone descending the mountain, Zhao Shixun stepped forward and asked.

"There's a sir!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun glanced at the weapons in everyone's hands, and suddenly walked in front of Lao Yuan in a few steps.

"I'll take a look at your box cannon."

Old Yuan was stunned for a moment, and handed it over with a puzzled expression.

Taking the box cannon, Zhao Shixun flipped back and forth. He threw it into the grass on the side of the road.

"This gun is damaged, the barrel is a little deformed, and it is easy to explode as soon as it is fired!"

Seeing that the other party raised his hand and threw away his weapon, Lao Yuan sighed and was about to run out to pick it up. Suddenly hearing Zhao Shixun's words, he immediately shrank back in fright.

"What can I do? I knew I might as well take the big bolt...... this time I'm empty-handed!"

Looking at the old Yuan with a bitter face, Zhao Shixun turned to look at the old immortal and said.

"Old immortal, give me my 38 big cover rifle."

After taking the 38 big cover handed over by the old immortal, Zhao Shixun opened the bolt and checked it, and then handed the two boxes of bullets and synchronous guns to Lao Yuan.

"Thank you, sir."

Seeing that everyone had weapons, Zhao Shixun took out his compass and glanced at it, and determined the direction of the next breakthrough.

Knowing that the commander of the Tang army and the commander of the Cun division were martyred one after another, Zhao Shixun judged that the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain of the national army should have collapsed on all fronts. According to the pre-war plan, after the defensive line was lost, the Nationalist army would withdraw to the south bank of the Yellow River to rest. Now that the Third Army, which is one of the most powerful in combat, has been almost completely wiped out, Zhao Shixun thinks that it will be even more difficult for other friendly forces to gain a foothold in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Now, if you look back and look for allies to get closer, it will definitely be looking for death. As for going north and east into the mountains to break through, it is even more unreliable, and now that they lack food and drink, they are likely to starve to death in the mountains. The seized rations were only available for a maximum of five days.

Moreover, Zhao Shixun judged that the Japanese army's search and killing of the remnants of the national army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area would never end in the short term, and in order to survive, he had to take people out of the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Therefore, the only way for these dozen or so people on their side to survive is to try to break through the Zhongtiao Mountains as soon as possible, enter the rear of the relatively weak Japanese army, and then wait for an opportunity to return to the area occupied by the Nationalist army.

As the main force of the Japanese army was searching for and encircling the remnants of the Nationalist army in the direction of the Yellow River, a large number of puppet troops in the Japanese-occupied areas were also recruited. Zhao Shixun judged that the rear of the Japanese army should not have many troops, as long as his side was careful, the chance of being surrounded and eaten was not great.

After determining the route of the breakout, Zhao Shixun led people to hastily bury the body of the battalion commander of the national army, and then let the prisoners rest and eat something. And he continued his march to the west.

Three hours later.

Thundered.......

As the last ray of light on the horizon was swallowed up by the mountains, the bean-sized raindrops finally broke free from the shackles of the clouds and smashed mercilessly to the ground.

Not long after walking, Zhao Shixun, under the leadership of Lao Yuan, found the cave where they had been hiding.

Seeing that the rainstorm was coming, Cho Se-hoon decided to stay here for the night.

When the group arrived at the cave, they found four bodies parked in the cave. Two of them are puppet armies, and two are national armies.

Everyone dug a pit for the corpse of the national army and buried it, and the corpse of the puppet army was thrown directly to the mouth of the cave.

These traitors and scum are only worthy of the violent corpse wilderness!

After nightfall, the temperature in the cave plummeted, and the national soldiers in single clothes shivered from the cold. But because of the lesson of being discovered by the puppet army who searched the mountain last time because of the fire. No one dared to propose a fire. Everyone could only huddle on the haystack in the corner, huddled with each other to keep warm.

Glancing at the soldiers beside him who were blue and trembling, Zhao Shixun got up irritably and walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out.

"Let's build a fire, it's raining very hard outside, and the devil puppet army is estimated to have been hiding a long time ago, so it should be fine." If you freeze overnight, everyone will get sick tomorrow! ”

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun began to collect the dead vines and dead branches in the corner of the cave and pile them in the middle of the cave.

The surrounding soldiers looked at each other when they heard this, and they all stood up to help collect firewood.

It didn't take long for a raging flame to rise, lighting up the cave while lighting up the cave and dispelling the chill from the crowd.

The warm environment made everyone leak a long-lost smile.

A shelf was erected with thick branches, and Zhao Shixun used his own kettle to boil most of the pot of rainwater for everyone to drink.

Drinking hot water, everyone gathered around the fire, and you and I began to talk word by word.

chatted about the happy place, Lao Yuan, who loves singing, also sang a piece of Yue Fei's anti-gold in a whisper. Beating the beat with a bayonet, the sonorous and powerful voice of the old immortal fascinated everyone who listened to it. At that moment, everyone seemed to forget the perilous environment ...... around them.

Late at night, after arranging the sentry officers, Zhao Shixun curled up on the haystack and fell asleep watching the beating flames.

……

"Sir......! Battalion commander! Wake up! ”

Suddenly being pushed awake from a dream, in the darkness, he suddenly saw a black shadow pounce on him, Zhao Shixun grabbed the box cannon under his head, and raised the gun to resist the person in front of him.

"Battalion commander! ……！ It's me, the old immortal! Be careful! ”

Gently brushing the muzzle of the gun away with his hand, the old immortal swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"What? How the fire was extinguished! ”

"Battalion commander! Lao Yuan and the others found that there was movement at the entrance of the cave, so they quickly extinguished the fire. Get up and take a look. ”

Hearing movement at the entrance of the cave, Zhao Shixun stood up and came to the entrance of the cave in a few dark steps.

"Old Yuan, what's going on?"

Gently patting Lao Yuan, who was squatting on the ground, Zhao Shixun looked at the darkness outside the cave and asked.

"I don't know, the sentry brother accidentally found that there was a missing corpse at the entrance of the cave, and immediately woke me up. When I came here, I heard a noise outside the cave, so I asked them to put out the fire, and by the way, let the old immortal wake you up. ”

"Look, sir! The bushes ahead! ”

Rustling...... Click, click, click.

Following Lao Yuan's guidance, Zhao Shixun also discovered the abnormality ahead!

There are constantly dark shadows scurrying around in the woods, making creepy sounds that make people listen to them.

"Is it a devil?"

Lao Yuan raised his gun and aimed at the bushes in front of him, and asked quietly.

"I don't know, you guys are ready for battle, I'll go to the front and feel the situation!"

The light was blind, and Zhao Shixun couldn't see what it was, but he was sure that there was something abnormal in the bushes in front of him. For the sake of safety, Zhao Shixun decided to check it out, and if it was an enemy, then he had to leave here quickly. Otherwise, we'll all be stuck in this hole!

Especially the fact that there was a puppet army corpse missing, Zhao Shixun's heart suddenly rose to his throat, could it be that this thing didn't die, and he ran back to report the news at night!?

"Okay sir, be careful!"

Say goodbye to Lao Yuan. Zhao Shixun sneaked out of the cave, and the cat slowly touched the bushes with a box cannon on his waist.

As we got closer to the bushes, the clattering sound became more and more pronounced. Zhao Shixun's eyes stared at the front, and his fingers slowly moved down the gunfire of the box cannon.

Holding the box cannon in his right hand, Zhao Shixun gently pushed away the bushes in front of him with his left hand.

The moment the bushes parted, a strong smell of blood came to his face, and by the faint moonlight, Zhao Shixun found a corpse lying not far away, and around the corpse, at least a dozen black shadows were gnawing around him!

Wolves!!
