At any given time, the speed of the rumor will always be faster than the speed of running on the legs!

This sounds like a fallacy.

After all, nowadays, in these places deep in the mountains, there are no mobile phones, no telephones, traffic depends on walking, communication depends on roaring, if you can't reach the place with your feet, it is said that no matter what happens in the rest of the place, people in some places will not be able to hear it.

But this is an ironclad fact!

Just like now.

In the morning, the panic caused by the rumors that the devils in the area of Meadow Ditch would kill people when they saw them made a large number of villagers flee from the wind, but by noon, the villagers around Meadow Ditch, who were the first to flee, were actually still circling within a range of ten or twenty miles around.

But the rumor that the devil will kill people when he sees them and destroy the village when he sees them has long gone far beyond the radius around the meadow ditch, and even the villagers in Wulian, Chihua and other places have heard about it!

And this rumor is getting more and more exaggerated!

Anyway, the rumors that the villagers in the Chihua area heard were not just as simple as the devils killing people when they saw them, and destroying the villages, in their rumors, the devils became a group of beasts, not only killing people, committing adultery, but even liking to pick on the hearts and livers of children and women......

Chihua area.

"Hurry, hurry!"

In a certain mountain forest, after a part of the Gaolin guerrillas who had just fought fiercely with the devils led by Kobayashi Kiyoshi had left behind a dozen corpses, twenty or thirty guerrillas were running in the mountains and forests under the leadership of Yang Quanlin, looking at the rear in horror from time to time to see if the ghosts such as Kobayashi Qing had caught up......

"Instructor, the little devil didn't chase after him, he has already withdrawn!"

Soon, several guerrillas who were ready to break off at any time quickly chased after them and shouted loudly.

As soon as they heard that the little devil had not caught up, the guerrillas, who had long been exhausted, collapsed to the ground one after another, gasping for breath...... In the past two days, they have been bitten on the ass by the little devils, but they are tired!

At this moment, everyone wants to walk on the ground until they die, and they don't want to move again even if the sky falls.

The guerrillas could rest, but Yang Quanlin obviously couldn't.

Because he is now the head of these thirty people, he must not disregard the safety of these twenty or thirty people just because he wants to take a break!

"Go to a few people to be on guard, lest the little devil play tricks, pretend to retreat but take advantage of our inattention to touch again...... Luo Zi, come here! ”

Yang Quanlin arranged, and at the same time called Luo Youhai to his side and said: "You take a few people, follow the team of the little devils to investigate, and see why the little devils don't chase after them - we are almost meat on the chopping board now, Xiao Lin Qing will hate us but the roots of our teeth are itching, withdraw at this time, there is definitely a problem......

"Understood!"

Luo Youhai let out a low roar, called the two fighters and ran.

Yang Quanlin had time to drink saliva and care about the injuries of the wounded in the team.

Almost everyone in the team was wounded, but none of them were seriously injured, all of them were minor.

Of course, Yang Quanlin knew why-because those seriously injured were either given up, or they knew that following the team would slow down the team's marching speed, so they took the initiative to stay behind and buy time for everyone......

"Instructor, we fought this battle so badly......

Some of the wounded who were lying down suddenly began to cry - when they were separated from the awakening, there were more than a hundred of them on their side, and now there are less than thirty left!

The thought of this makes almost everyone grief-stricken!

The most terrifying thing is that so many people have died, and they don't even know where the zero leader who is going to answer the order is, let alone receive it!

That feeling is like a group of them scurrying around aimlessly like headless flies in the dark, and those dozens of comrades-in-arms don't even know why they died......

"Believe me, Captain Zhang, he will never deliberately let everyone die in vain - he does everything for a good reason!"

Yang Quanlin yelled to cheer everyone up, he firmly believed in this and never doubted it - because he was a cadre from the detachment, he knew Zhang Ran better than anyone here!

On the other side, Kobayashi Kiyomasa led more than a hundred devil puppet troops to move quickly in the direction of Hanyang.

Thinking that for more than a year, his team didn't know how many dumb losses they had suffered in the confrontation with the Gaolin guerrillas, and this time they finally had the opportunity to completely wipe out some of them, and even captured the instructor named Yang Quanlin alive, and let out a vicious breath......

However, because of the order of the headquarters, he had to fall short, and when the person surnamed Yang was about to have no way to escape, he was forced to turn around and go to Hanyang to participate in the round-up of the ordinary people who fled from the direction of Hanyang......

Although if he really found the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army from these fleeing people, he would definitely be a great achievement, and maybe he would be promoted to a knighthood - but compared to seizing the opportunity to increase the rank of official and knight like looking for a needle in a haystack among the countless fleeing people, Kobayashi Qing is obviously more willing to capture Yang Quanlin and his gang alive, and then vent his anger with a thousand knives......

The meat is all on the chopping board!

Whenever he thought of this, Xiao Lin Qing couldn't help but jump to his feet, and he had the urge to rush back desperately and continue to fight with Yang Quanlin and the others!

Ahead, there was a group of ordinary people from the direction of Hanyang dragging their children and daughters!

"Plug them!"

Kiyoshi Kobayashi quickly ordered.

However, without waiting for the more than 100 devil puppet troops under his command to make any moves, the first moment they saw them, the group of ordinary people were like hornets that exploded their nests, ghosts cried wolves, and fled in all directions!

Almost instantly, the mountains are full of rolling and climbing figures, where is it still blocked?

"Ba Ge Yalu, what the hell is going on?"

Xiao Linqing's eyes are about to fall to the ground!

"Don't worry, team leader, they can't run!"

Several military Cao monsters laughed, and they were about to lead the team to outflank!

"Outflank the flank!"

Xiao Lin Qing stared at the group of ordinary people who were rolling and crawling, and scolded: "Lao Tzu just wants to ask you what the situation is in Hanyang, why are you running?" ”

He knew the distance from Meadowditch to this side very well, so he would never believe that the eight-way generals who appeared in Meadowditch a few hours ago could reach this side in such a short time!

Therefore, he blocked these ordinary people, in fact, he really just wanted to ask about the situation, and he didn't mean anything else at all!

Now that the other party is scattered, he will naturally not do useless work, and spend a lot of time and energy to round up the other party!

"Don't care about these dead people, keep moving forward and go to the Liugou area!"

Kobayashi Qing ordered loudly, and at the same time ordered several Imperial Allies to immediately take off their military uniforms and disguise themselves as ordinary people to advance first, and go to see these dead people running away as soon as they saw the imperial army, which means a few things!

Soon, several Imperial Cooperative Army came back with intelligence, and what they brought back was naturally those who killed women when they saw people, raped them, dug their hearts and livers when they saw children, and especially liked to use the hearts and livers of little girls to drink......

"Eight Ge Yalu, this is slander!"

Hearing the information that the Imperial Association Army inquired about, Xiao Lin Qing immediately understood why the common people he had encountered before ran away as soon as they saw him......

Then his angry lungs exploded, and his heart said that these dead people, don't they all know how to grow brains?

The nature of the imperial army, he knew in his heart that in order to catch the generals of the Eight Routes, he believed that there must be a situation of killing a few people and dozens of people to kill chickens and monkeys!

But when he sees someone, he kills him, rapes a woman when he sees him, and digs out the hearts and livers of children and drinks - then he won't believe it if he is killed!

This mission is in the body, do you have so much time to kill people when you see them? Rape when you see a woman - Flower girl, the imperial soldiers do have their eyes shining when they see it, anything can happen, but the problem is that there must be a time for rape......

With this special task in mind, where can I have the time to do such a thing?

"Slander, this is a slander against my Imperial Japanese soldier Chi Guoguo......"

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin Qing jumped to his feet and scolded, sad and indignant, and said in his heart what we did, we admit it, but you Tubalu deliberately poured dirty water on our army, and spread rumors casually - you are not afraid of five thunders and thunders in the sky!

In the grove.

However, in just over half an hour, except for Yang Quanlin, who was staring at the map with a map, and the few soldiers who were in charge of vigilance, the entire grove was already snoring like thunder!

The wounds that were still in pain, the buzzing mosquitoes and flies, the ants crawling all over the body that smelled blood, did not affect the fighters of these guerrillas in the slightest.

They were all too tired......

"Instructor, someone's coming!"

At this moment, the vigilant soldiers suddenly sounded the sound of vigilance!

The sleeping guerrillas, as if at the same time, got some kind of magical signal, instantly woke up from their sleep, grabbed their guns, rolled, bullets jumped, and all in one go!

At the moment of entering the hidden place, almost all of the guns were aimed at the direction where the enemy might come......

Seeing this scene, Yang Quanlin's heart was full of pride - this, but they are all soldiers brought by himself!

Although in terms of equipment, it may not be as good as the soldiers in the detachment, but in terms of tactical literacy, he feels that it is completely comparable!

It was not the devil who came, but Luo Youhai and a few other soldiers who were sent out before, and they came back with them, as well as a few ordinary people with frightened expressions!

"Eight-way chief, please save your lives......"

As soon as they saw Yang Quanlin, several ordinary people knelt down with a puff and cried all the time: "The little devil is really not a human, a beast......

Then, it's the image of the devil in those rumors, anyway, in the eyes of these villagers, the little devil has been completely classified as livestock, except for what people do, the little devil can't do it, and the other little devils can do anything......

The cries of the panicked villagers obviously have no point to speak of.

The guerrillas actually didn't quite believe that all the acts of the little devils that the villagers said were true, but even if one percent of them were true, it was enough to make them angry and want to cut the little devils with a thousand knives......

Yang Quanlin was not angry, but found the point of all this from the seemingly chaotic cries of the villagers!

"It seems that there is news about the person we want to answer with Captain Zhang!"

Yang Quanlin comforted the villagers for a while and asked them to hide quickly, then pointed to the direction of the meadow ditch on the map, and then drew a big circle on the periphery of the meadow ditch: "From morning to now, five hours, the villagers drag their families and mouths, and they have to avoid the little devils, their speed is not fast!"

If the Zero leader we are going to pick up is hiding in the middle of a group of people fleeing in the meadow ditch, then the farthest area they can reach before tonight is around the big circle I have drawn—the fastest place to reach from our side is in the area of Liugou......"

Saying this, Yang Quanlin looked at all the soldiers and said: "Three hours, more than twenty miles, we must arrive before dark - I know everyone is tired, but we must arrive, otherwise, the comrades who sacrificed for this mission before will all die in vain......"
