Deep in the jungle on the east bank of the Dalong River, the headquarters of the 114th Wing.

The hands of the watch had already pointed to eleven o'clock, and Xiao Jiujiu still had no intention of resting.

In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, there are sporadic gunshots from time to time, and every time you hear a gunshot, Xiao Jiujiu feels that the boredom in his heart deepens a layer.

Did those Germans fall from the sky behind them? Why did he suddenly appear behind his back, and the troops were so powerful, not a small infiltration force as he imagined.

During the day, Xiao Jiujiu conscientiously commanded his subordinates to build fortifications in the jungle facing the Dalong River, preparing for the upcoming battle, but in the afternoon, gunshots and explosions suddenly sounded from the position of the artillery wing behind him.

Kokuhisa soon received a call from the artillery wing, which was attacked by the Germans and asked for reinforcements from the 114th Wing.

At first, Kokujiu thought that it was a small force of German infiltration troops, and only sent a squadron to reinforce it, but a group of planes appeared in the sky, and white smoke rose from the jungle, followed by a burst of head-to-face bombardment.

To make matters worse, the Luftwaffe used incendiary bombs, and after the bombing, the raging forest fires plunged the troops into irrepressible chaos.

The Germans forcibly crossed the Dalong River from Yubang Ferry, which caused the 114th Wing to be flanked by the front and rear, which pushed the chaos into a climax.

With the complex forest terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the troops' rich experience in jungle warfare, Xiao Jiujiu successfully delayed the battle until night, but it only dragged on until night, and when it was dawn, the troops could be surrounded and annihilated at any time.

Xiao Jiujiu covered his head and thought hard about countermeasures.

This place cannot be defended, and it is necessary to find a way to break through, who knows if after dawn, the deranged Germans will also come up with a wave of gas warfare on their own positions.

"Report," the adjutant's voice rang out outside Kokuku's tent.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Jiujiu asked impatiently.

The adjutant walked into the tent, bowed and said, "Dazuo, the soldiers of the 56th Wing who have retreated, the situation is now stable, and they can follow the large army." ”

"Great, arrange for them to go to the river and act according to the plan." Xiao Jiujiu said.

After nightfall, the retreating soldiers of the 56th Wing swam across the Dalong River, arrived on the east bank, and took advantage of the cover of night to break into the position of the 114th Wing, and were then accepted by the 114th Wing.

Almost all of the soldiers of the 56th Wing were not gassed or lightly poisoned.

The headquarters of the 18th Division then sent a telegram, asking him to lead his troops to break through the encirclement, and if any soldiers were poisoned, it was necessary to ensure that a group of poisoned soldiers broke through with them, and they were not allowed to abandon them.

After reading the telegram, Xiao Jiujiu immediately hit the poisoned soldiers of the 56th Wing.

He first treated the poisoned soldiers while the sappers built rafts.

After being busy in the middle of the night, the condition of the poisoned soldiers has stabilized, and the work of the sappers has also borne fruit, so Kokuhisa decisively called Fujino, the captain of the second brigade.

"Fujino-kun, the division headquarters has allowed us to break through, I will escort the wounded to retreat, and the troops are now under your command. Don't fight hard with the enemy, try to find a way to get the troops out of the encirclement. ”

Captain Fujino's blood surged, and his face stained with gunpowder smoke instantly turned purple.

"Where are you going to retreat with the wounded?"

"Take the river, I have asked the sappers to make a raft, you can also retreat in this way."

Captain Fujino's face looked a little better.

Kokujiu told Fujino a few more words, and promised that someone downstream would answer, and then led the troops to set off.

Xiao Jiujiu personally led the retreating troops, mainly the wounded of the 56th Wing, marched overnight, arrived at a section of the river bank that was still controlled by the 114th Wing, threw down the assault boat and the rudimentary raft they carried, and then boarded the boat, drifting all the way to the lower reaches of the Dalong River with the rushing water.

Xiao Jiujiu held the saber and sat in an assault boat, looking at the dark forest on both sides of the river, muttering to himself.

"Poison gas, poison gas ······"

The Germans used poison gas, should they be said to be insane, or should they blame themselves for forgetting something.

In 1915, on the Western Front in Europe, the warring sides each carried out a series of studies in order to deal with the thorny trench warfare.

The British developed a weapon codenamed "Water Tank" and announced the birth of the epoch-making land weapon of the tank, while the Germans threw the idea on poison gas.

More than 20 years have passed, and the Germans, as the originators of the large-scale use of poison gas, have gradually forgotten that black history.

It is really vicious, too excessive, and it must be retaliated against, and the Great Japanese Empire is also poisonous, and this revenge must be avenged.

Xiao Jiujiu's heart burned with the flame of revenge, but he didn't realize that time passed rapidly with the river, and it was dawn.

"Airplanes, planes of the Germans."

The screams brought Kokuhisa back to reality, and Kohisa looked up and soon saw two planes flying in the sky on his right.

Again, this kind of plane with propellers overhead, looking like tadpoles, they, huh? They're coming.

Xiao Jiujiu was observing the two planes, and suddenly saw the two planes turn around one after another and fly in the direction where he was.

In less than two minutes, two planes flew over the forest on the right side of the riverbank.

Xiao Jiujiu and his subordinates followed the two helicopters in a circle in the air, and saw the two planes in a circle in the distance, flying back from the left bank of the river.

Xiao Jiujiu picked up the binoculars and looked at the two planes, and saw a metal pole on the open hatch behind the left side of the helicopter, on which was a machine gun, and behind the machine gun stood a machine gunner.

With the help of a telescope, Kokuhisa clearly saw the action of the machine gunner pulling the bolt.

"Fire, fire, they're coming for us." Xiao Jiujiu shouted frantically.

Almost simultaneously, a dense burst of gunfire rang out simultaneously from the sky and from the river.

The MG-382 machine guns on the two FI-42 Black Hawk helicopters and the Japanese "crooked" machine guns mercilessly rained bullets at each other.

Rows of tiny splashes of water instantly appeared on the surface of the river, and as the bullets came in rows, the splashes got closer and closer to the drifting raft.

Soon, Xiao Jiujiu saw that on the improvised raft behind the assault boat he was in, two soldiers screamed one after another and fell on the raft.

Bullets came in rows and rows, screams continued to sound on the surface of the river, and the corpses fell into the river, and as the river rose and fell, the originally turquoise water was quickly dyed red.

The Japanese returned fire, as a helicopter was hit by a machine-gun bullet, and a row of bullet holes appeared in the left rear cabin, and the fuselage shook slightly in the air when flying, no longer as it had been before.

The two planes turned around and left, and Xiao Jiujiu looked at the distant figure of the plane and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It wasn't long before the familiar roar of the engine returned.

Four, turned out to be four, damn the Germans.

Xiao Jiujiu angrily pulled out the pistol in his waist, intending to make a last stand.

However, he soon noticed that two of the four new Black Hawk helicopters were different from what he had seen before, and that the left and right fuselages of the two helicopters each had a short wing protruding from each side, and two weapons were suspended under each wing.

At a glance, Kokujiu only recognized one of them as if it was a machine gun, but the muzzle seemed to be a little more.

The two helicopters didn't leave more time for Xiao Jiujiu, flying all the way from the upper reaches of the Dalong River, the six-barreled Gatling 7.92mm machine guns suspended under the left and right wings rotated at high speed, and the bullets splashed towards the Xiao Jiujiu drifting team on the river.

Where the bullets swept through, the Japanese soldiers who could not dodge were instantly torn to pieces, and the fragile improvised raft was littered with wood chips.

Throwing up and plopping, the Japanese soldiers fell into the water like dumplings, or took the initiative to jump into the river to avoid machine gun fire.

Two armed Black Hawk helicopters flew over the drifting party, then turned around and returned, hovering in the air in front of the drifting team under Xiao Jiujiu's frightened gaze.

With a strange whistling sound, a cloud of gray-white smoke erupted from the left and right wings of the plane, and rockets flew into the river one after another.

Tall white columns of water rose into the air, and violent explosions tore apart fragile rafts and assault boats.

Xiao Jiujiu was dizzy by the violent explosion, and as the assault boat rolled on its side, his body involuntarily fell backwards into the river.

Before he could react, he had already poured two or three mouthfuls of water one after another.

With the excellent water ability he cultivated when he was young, Xiao Jiujiu quickly rushed out of the water, then took a sharp breath, dived into the water again, used his hands and feet together, and swam towards the shore.

The four helicopters circled the air several times, and the Kokujiu drifting team was completely wiped out, and the broken rafts and assault boats were mixed in with the corpses and continued to drift downstream.

After confirming that there were no Japanese troops in sight, the four helicopters left satisfied.

On the left side of the riverbank, seeing that the crisis was over, Kokuhisa rushed out of the water and gulped for fresh air.

Not only him, but on both sides of the riverbank, from time to time, Japanese soldiers followed him out of the water and crawled towards the jungle on the shore.

After going ashore, Xiao Jiujiu sat weakly under a big tree.

The first thing that came to mind was the type of weapons under the wings of German aircraft.

Another weapon, which should be a rocket.

Soon, the Japanese troops who escaped and ascended to heaven gathered around Kokuhisa, and after a short rest, Kohisa led the remnants of his subordinates to continue the escape journey on foot.

More than half an hour later, Xiao Jiujiu saw several Japanese soldiers suddenly coming out of the bushes, and his tense nerves relaxed.

After some exchanges, these Japanese soldiers hidden in the jungle by the river were arranged by the division headquarters to meet them by the river.

When the rafting team set out, there were originally hundreds of people, but at this time there were only about 20 people left.

Kohisa led the surviving rafting team members, followed behind the Japanese soldiers who met them, and after a long journey, they walked out of the jungle to a small town.

Mengguan, the location of the headquarters of the 18th Division.

As soon as the Kokujiu drifting team appeared, they were taken to the division headquarters.

After some screening, the five 56th Wings of the drifting team fled, and the slightly poisoned soldiers were immediately sent to the infirmary, next to the infirmary, the doctors and a group of war correspondents who were on standby quickly surrounded the five people.

In the division headquarters, Lieutenant General Tanaka Shinichi, commander of the 18th Division, looked at Xiao Jiujiu, who was wet, covered with weeds and mud, and was embarrassed.

"Xiao Jiujun, you have worked hard. The five soldiers you have brought back will be one of the strongest pieces of evidence against the Germans for their crimes, and the Germans will pay for their crimes. ”

It turned out to be to provide propaganda materials for the propaganda department, no wonder the commander of the Tanaka Division emphasized that the poisoned wounded must be brought out, and Xiao Jiujiu quickly figured out the joints.

"I have one more piece of information to offer you, Your Excellency the Division Commander."

"What information?" Shinichi Tanaka asked.

More than twenty minutes later, Shinichi Tanaka held two blank pieces of paper and stared at the scrawled helicopter pattern on the white paper.

"An airplane that can hover in the air and use machine guns and rockets as weapons, Koku-kun, the information you provide is very valuable, you are really an excellent soldier, and I can also rest assured that I will entrust you with the heavy responsibility."

Xiao Jiujiu asked in astonishment, "What task?" ”

"The division command has decided to retreat to Myitkyina, and the defense of the Mong Pass area will be handed over to you. I believe that with your talents, you will be able to accomplish the task of stopping the German army with great success. ”

Xiao Jiujiu: "······"
