Chapter 394: The Enemy Has Arrived

As a traverser, Li Siwei had seen the record of the expeditionary force crossing the Savage Mountain, although he did not remember the details very clearly, but he could not forget the tragic meaning that permeated the text.

Therefore, he did not want to go to Savage Mountain from the beginning.

He had also tried to make suggestions to Chief Luo and Chief Du, but he was only a small regiment leader, who could listen to him?

Now, the tragedy has begun, but Li Siwei has to walk step by step towards Savage Mountain and the legendary terrifying place.

Because, there are more than 300 injured brothers who followed Chief Du and his party in front, and they are about to plunge headlong into that terrifying place.

Many times, we know how bleak the end of the road ahead will be, but we can't stop because we have a reason to go.

It's reality, and it's like fate!

The sun finally broke free from the shackles of the dark clouds and chose high in the middle of the sky, still so proud, still so bright, shining on the rolling endless mountains.

In the undulating mountains, the officers and men of the 66th Regiment were marching rapidly in the northwest direction, the special service company opened the way, the third battalion followed, the Chinese army with baggage and wounded in the center, and the four and five companies guarded the two wings, and the direct company was broken off.

Only two mortars remained in the artillery company, since there were only four mortar shells left in the entire company...... Without shells, no matter how powerful the cannon is, it can only be used as an ornament.

The cooking platoon also threw away all the loads and bowls, because it could be used to hold porridge and drink it with a helmet.

The supply company threw away all the carts, because the ammunition had long since run out, and the few remaining food could be transported by more than a dozen mules and horses, and all the remaining mules and horses were ridden by the wounded.

Of course, seriously wounded people cannot ride horses, and lightly injured people who have not injured their legs do not need to ride horses.

Thirty-eight seriously wounded were carried by the brothers of the Chinese army in turn, and the one hundred and fifty or sixty lightly wounded were either on mules and horses or on foot, but not one of them was left behind.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

Heavy wheezing voices came and went in the ranks, but no one shouted tired, no one stopped, and the brothers gritted their teeth and persevered...... Everyone understands that speed is life, and only when you distance yourself from the pursuers can you live!

Let's hope it's still too late!

Everything that could be thrown had been thrown away, and the marching speed of the troops had not slowed down until now, and a glimmer of hope rose in Li Siwei's heart: at this speed, he should be able to catch up with Chief Du and his party before they entered the Savage Mountain...... Then you can persuade them to turn around and go west, but if it doesn't work, Lao Tzu will pick up the wounded and go by himself!

However, all departments are stepping up their transfers, and communication is not smooth, so how easy is it to catch up with Chief Du and his party in this endless mountain and dense forest?

Traveling all the way, until the beginning of night, the soldiers were exhausted, so they had to find a hidden valley to rest for a while.

The moonlight shines through the cracks in the dense forest, and the light of the fire in the valley complements each other, which is also very elegant.

In the iron pot on the campfire, the porridge of wild vegetables is bubbling and exuding a rich aroma, wafting in the valley with the night wind.

In the temporary headquarters of the Chinese army, Li Siwei sat by the campfire, holding a cigarette in his mouth, playing with a small compass, and his face was covered with colorful ointment, but he could not hide his tiredness.

"Whew...... Laugh at...... Call...... Sneer......"

Several clerks and signal corpsmen at the regimental headquarters were already curled up by the campfire and asleep, snoring heavily.

Zheng Sanyang was also sitting cross-legged by the campfire, holding a rare cigarette in his mouth, and was looking at the map spread on his lap, and there was also a compass next to the map...... There are quite a few such trophies in the 66th Regiment.

"Commander,"

Suddenly, Zheng Sanyang threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth and looked up at Li Siwei with a solemn expression, "According to calculations, our department has just entered the northeast region of Menggong, and there are still more than 140 miles away from the Hukang River Valley......

The Hukang River Valley is located in the northernmost part of Myanmar, in the upper reaches of the Chindun River, consisting of the Daro Basin and the New Pingyang Basin, with a radius of hundreds of miles, during which the mountains are high and densely forested, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the rainy season is flooding.

In Burmese, Hukang Valley means "the place where the devil lives."

It is said that the uninhabited area in the hinterland of the river valley was once infested with wild people, so the locals collectively called this uninhabited area "Savage Mountain".

According to Li Siwei's memories of his previous life, Chief Du and his party would eventually break into the Hukang River Valley and cross the Savage Mountain, and he had to catch up with Chief Du and his party before they entered the Savage Mountain.

But......

Listening to the heavy snoring sound wafting in the night breeze, Li Siwei had to sigh softly, "Let the brothers rest first!" ”

With that, Li Siwei threw away the cigarette butts, got up slowly, dragged heavy steps, and slowly walked towards the camp of the wounded.

Liu Tianfu hurriedly wanted to get up, but was pulled by Chen Huaili on the side.

"Captain Chen,"

Liu Tianfu looked at Chen Huaili suspiciously, his voice was tired, "What are you doing?" ”

"Turtle's,"

Chen Huaili glanced at Liu Tianfu, and scolded weakly, "The head of the regiment went to find Dr. Wu, what are you going to do?" ”

"Uh......"

Liu Tianfu was stunned for a moment, and sat back in a daze, "It's okay not to go...... After a day and a night, my legs are about to break! ”

Since the retreat of Jessa to this, the 66th Regiment has traveled nearly 200 miles in one day and one night, of course, as the only medical soldier in the whole regiment, Wu Ruolan has run forward and backward in the team escorting the wounded along the way, and the journey may have far exceeded this number.

When Li Siwei passed, Wu Ruolan had already fallen asleep with a pillbox next to a bonfire, wrapped in a thin quilt, curled up slightly.

Liu Heishui and a few brothers were guarding on the side, and when they saw Li Siwei coming, they hurriedly got up, "Tuan ......"

Li Siwei hurriedly waved his hand and walked straight to the sleeping Wu Ruolan, step by step...... Every step was cautious, for fear of waking her up.

"Alas!"

Liu Heishui sighed softly, "Doctor Wu...... It's so hard. ”

"Hmmm......"

Li Siwei's voice was thick nasal, he stopped in front of Wu Ruolan, slowly squatted down, and looked at the haggard face so quietly.

That face had been covered with ointment, but it was still deeply tired, which made Li Siwei's heart sour...... Silly girl, what if you didn't come back?

But she returned, as stupid as ever for him.

"Boom ......"

A loud bang sounded faintly in the west, like a muffled thunder explosion, and Li Siwei's eyelids jumped when he heard it.

Wu Ruolan, who was asleep, also trembled, and suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes fell on Li Siwei's face.

"Boom ......"

The loud bang came again, not thunder or cannonball.

Wu Ruolan's gaze was still on Li Siwei's face, but she was full of panic, hurriedly sat up straight, reached out and touched Li Siwei's cheek, and her voice was anxious, "You...... Why are you crying? ”

"Boom ......"

The sound of the cannon rang out again, and it became clearer and clearer.

"Silly girl,"

Li Siwei had already caught Wu Ruolan's little hand, and his face was full of seriousness, "As long as you are good, I will be fine!" ”

After that, Li Siwei let go of Wu Ruolan's little hand, gently brushed the messy hair on her sideburns, stood up suddenly, turned around, and strode away, "Heishui, protect Doctor Wu's ......"

"Yes!"

Liu Heishui hurriedly promised, but Li Siwei's figure had disappeared into the chaotic crowd...... On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire is an order!

"Bang ......"

The footsteps were chaotic, and all the soldiers quickly assembled, and there was a hint of excitement on their tired faces, and their movements were vigorous and murderous.

Li Siwei hurriedly returned to the headquarters and swept the generals, "Peace, take the second battalion and go with Lao Tzu; Huaili, quickly assembled the front and rear teams to protect the Chinese army; Sanyang, sitting in the Chinese army, should move at the opportune time, and must hide his whereabouts! ”

"Yes!"

The generals hurriedly promised and acted quickly.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

After a pause, the gunfire rang out, and it became clearer and clearer.

It can be heard that the battle in the west has been decided, and the battle is rapidly approaching!

From the valley where the 66th Regiment was stationed to the west over two mountains is a vast valley, the Qinke River winds through the valley, and on the southwest bank is the county seat of Menggong, and for thousands of years, the city has been as peaceful and peaceful as the river.

But at this moment, the peace and tranquility have been shattered by the sound of gunfire.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

"Ahhh......h

At night, bullets flew sideways, bringing a rain of blood, red to the earth, and a bloody night wind.

"Da Da Da ......"

The four tanks had already rushed across the bridge over the river, and continued to advance northeast with tongues of fire, exuding an aura of self-inflicted force.

"Bang ......"

The little devil who followed quickly moved quickly and looked hideous...... I chased all the way, and finally caught up!

"Squeak......"

On the bridge behind, six tanks were coming, and in the center of the tank, a large officer stood proudly on the turret, looking at the battle ahead, his eyes flashing with excitement...... Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them all!

This Dazuo is Miyamoto Shouo, the Miyamoto Shouo who returned at the foot of Niutou Mountain outside Nanjing.

More than four years have passed, and Miyamoto Toshio has been transferred to the 18th Division and has become the wing leader of the search wing directly under the division, but he is still only Osa...... Everything was because of the defeat of Niutou Mountain.

Every time I think of that shame, the killing intent in Miyamoto's heart will rage wildly.

"Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

The battle had turned into a one-sided slaughter, and in the flat valley, the little devil's tanks were invincible, breaking through the hastily built up lines of the defenders one by one.

The night wind hit the face, and it hurt.

The sound of gunfire and screams echoed behind him, and the feelings of grief and indignation churned in the bottom of his heart, but the soldiers could only run wildly.

There are no heavy weapons left in the team, and the only way to stop the little devil's tank is to rush into the mountains.

In the hazy night, the mountains to the north have revealed a majestic outline in the eyes of the soldiers.

Near, closer...... If you rush into the mountains, you will survive!

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

"Ah......hh Uh-a-ah......"

However, the gunfire and howls were getting closer.

"If you are not afraid of death, go with Lao Tzu!"

Suddenly, a major officer stopped, turned around and rushed to a low hill not far to the east.

"Jianzhi ......"

When Captain Fang heard the roar, his steps suddenly stiffened, but he was dragged away by the two brothers by the arm, leaving only a poignant "Come back to Lao Tzu...... fluttering in the night wind.

More brothers had already picked up their spears and followed "Jianzhi" to the dwarf......

"Bang bang bang...... Shhh......h Bang bang bang...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The cannon rang out again, and the fireworks were churning on the low hills, and in the haze, the stumps and broken arms were churning in the smoke......

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

But the gunfire had paused on the front line of the drum.

"Call back!"

Captain Fang, who was dragged forward, suddenly struggled to break free, and with a wave of his gun, he turned around and rushed back with red eyes, "Fight back with Lao Tzu......

"Commander......"

Two more brothers hurriedly grabbed Head Fang, their eyes were red, "You can't let the brothers sacrifice in vain!" ”

This is an eternal law on the battlefield.

Captain Fang was shocked, the gun in his hand hung down softly, but two lines of hot tears were already rolling down.

The brothers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and dragged the head of Fang to continue to rush towards the hazy mountains.

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

The gunfire in the direction of the drums had become scattered, but they were still ringing tenaciously.

"Squeak......"

The main force of Miyamoto's wing quickly rounded the low hill and pursued north.

The gunfire on the battlefield gradually became scattered, and the retreat was strewn with corpses, blood spreading among the weeds.

"Squeak......"

Miyamoto's tank drove up proudly and drove straight to the northern edge of the valley before slowly coming to a stop.

"Report to Osa,"

The captain of the infantry brigade, Kiyokawa Shaoza, hurriedly came, "The main force of the enemy has been annihilated by our troops, and only the remnants of less than 100 people have fled into the mountains......"

When Li Siwei was still trekking in the mountains with his troops, the battle had already come to an end.

The so-called "Wangshan Running Dead Horse", Li Siwei heard the sound of guns and cannons in the valley for only three or five miles, but he came all the way and ran straight for more than ten miles, and the front was still a reckless mountain forest, and the sound of guns and cannons had dissipated in the night wind.

The situation is like this, and the soldiers can only call in vain!

"Commander,"

Just when Li Siwei was full of frustration, Acton hurried back, "a defeated friendly army was found in the northwest direction......"

"Lead the way,"

Li Siwei suddenly perked up.

"Yes!"

Acton agreed, and hurriedly led the way, sighing, "A group!" Only 100 people were removed......"

Traveling more than two miles to the northwest, Li Siwei encountered the oncoming Huanghua and his party, and the rout army that he received with his subordinates.

"Commander,"

Huang Hua hurriedly stepped forward to report, "It's the brother of the 22nd Division...... When Meng Gong was resting, he was attacked by the little devil chariot troops. ”

"Holy shit,"

Li Siwei scolded angrily, but he was a little afraid in his heart, "No wonder it came so quickly...... Return to camp now, take a break and set off as soon as dawn breaks! ”

As a veteran main division, the 18th Japanese Division is a highly mechanized unit, and the search wing is the most mobile unit in the division, and the speed of the breakthrough has far exceeded Li Siwei's expectations.

On the way back, Li Siwei asked Regiment Commander Fang about the news of the wounded men of the 66th Regiment.

Commander Fang pondered for a while and speculated, "I should have followed the brothers of the 96th Division and entered the mountain early in the morning...... Our department was ordered to break off, so I stayed in Meng Gong for a while......"

As he spoke, Commander Fang's voice trembled, "Since entering Burma, the brothers have been fighting and fighting...... I wanted my brothers to have a good rest before the mountain, but ...... But the dog days came too quickly......"

Hearing this, Li Siwei sighed softly and patted Captain Fang's shoulder, but was speechless.

Compared with Commander Fang's department, the 66th Regiment was much luckier, at least, they had a good rest for a while.

That night, the officers and men of the 66th Regiment slept soundly for the last time.

The sky was light, and the soldiers re-embarked on the road of retreat.

However, the follow-up troops of the 18th Japanese Division had already driven over in a steady stream, and the endless dense forest could not stop their pursuit.

What the 18th Division is good at is "jungle warfare"!
