Akita Shaozo looked at the endless wilderness in front of him, his face full of depression. 【】

I've been searching for six hours, but I still haven't found anything.

After the remnants of the provisional 79th Division fled to Hejiajiao, they suddenly lost their trace

The navy also reported back half an hour ago, claiming that neither Taihu Lake nor the canal had found anything, not even a small force of more than a dozen people.

Akita Shaozo became more and more depressed after hearing the news, could it be that the Chinese put on their wings and flew away

Or is it that the Chinese have turned into loaches, burrowed into the canal or Taihu Lake, and hid

"Sir, the front army headquarters urgently telegraphed" The communications staff officer hurriedly came over and handed over a telegram.

Akita Shaoza didn't even bother to look at it, and when he took the telegram, he crumpled it up and threw it into the distance.

Akita Shaozo didn't even need to read it to know the content of the telegram, it was nothing more than to reprimand him for his incompetence, and he couldn't find the remnants of the provisional 79th Division.

The communications staff officer ran to the distance to pick up the telegram and handed it to Akita again.

Akita Shaoza sighed, and was about to reach out to receive the telegram, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a faint column of smoke rising into the sky in the northeast.

At that moment, Akita Shaozo didn't care about answering the telegram, and hurriedly raised the telescope.

Through the vision of the telescope, Akita Shaosa finally saw clearly, as if something was burning in the distance.

Akita Shaozo is not sure whether this fire was caused by the remnants of the provisional 79th Division, but in any case, this is an abnormal phenomenon and should be taken seriously, not to mention that he is now at a loss, so what can be done now, go over and see what the matter is Akita Shaosa gathered his troops and pounced in the direction of the fire.

Dividing line

Turning back to Xu Rui and the veterans.

The fire spread quickly, and it was too late to run back anyway, and before they could run out of the reeds, the fire would quickly catch up and swallow the two of them, and at that time, they would not be able to find a place to hide, only to move forward, and perhaps to find a puddle, as long as they found a puddle, there would still be a glimmer of life.

Xu Rui and the veteran collided with the reeds and rushed forward.

Running forward less than twenty meters, the scorching heat wave invaded, and a large amount of soot produced by the burning reeds swept towards Xu Rui and the veteran under the blowing belt of the northwest wind, and the two of them covered their mouths and noses with towels, but they still couldn't avoid a large amount of smoke and dust inhaling into their throats, and their lungs immediately burned like pain.

However, compared to the pain of the skin, the burning of the lungs is nothing.

Immediately after the scorching heat wave, what swept was the fire, the fire had not yet burned in front of the two, the exposed faces, arm hairs and even hair of the two were burned and curled, Xu Rui even smelled the scorching smell of the hair after it was burned, and the vision was even red, and he could no longer see the road.

Fire and water are ruthless, you are the king of special warfare, and you will be burned to death

However, even at this time, Xu Rui still did not give up

Before the crossing, his comrades-in-arms said that Xu Rui's nerves were made of steel and would never give in.

Xu Rui's tenacity and the accurate judgment he made as soon as he discovered the fire finally saved the two.

Just as the fire was about to completely engulf the two of them, a small puddle finally appeared in front of them.

Without a trace of hesitation, Xu Rui, who was running in front, plunged into the small puddle, but the veteran fell behind by half a step and smashed on Xu Rui's back.

The two tried to immerse their entire bodies below the waterline, leaving only their mouths and noses outside.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Rui and the veteran dared to poke their entire heads out of the water.

When I looked around again, I saw that the dense reeds had just turned to ashes, and only the ash charcoal was still smoking, and in addition, there were small water depressions scattered all over the place, and in the distance, there was a large area of water, and there were large reeds on the other side of the lake, which were also on fire, and were crackling and burning.

The veteran found the 38 big cover from the mud, but it was soaked in water.

Xu Rui wiped the mud sticking to his face, and said hatefully: "Damn, this time I was careless." ”

The veteran unloaded the bayonet, threw away the water-soaked 38 big cover, and said hatefully: "This little devil must be hiding in one of the puddles, and we searched them one by one, but we didn't believe that he couldn't come out." ”

As he spoke, the veteran walked to the nearest puddle with his bayonet in his hand.

When he got to the puddle, the veteran took a bayonet and stabbed him into the water.

Sure that there was no one hiding in the puddle, the veteran moved on to the next puddle.

"Forget it, there's no time." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "There are no less than a hundred small puddles here, and the ghost knows which one the little devils are hiding in, we will search them one by one, and when will we find them?"

"I will search until it is dark, and I will search until tomorrow, and Lao Tzu will have to find him out" The old soldier did not persevere, and stabbed him in the puddle with a bayonet, while saying hatefully, "Dare to set fire to Lao Tzu, I am tired of life"

"Okay, let's go" Xu Rui patted his ass and stood up, and said, "Don't wait to find the little devil, the devil's brigade will arrive first, the fire just now, I'm afraid you can see it dozens of miles away, the little devil's brigade will definitely be rushing over here, we have to leave quickly." ”

"Then forget it," asked the veteran, a little reluctantly.

"Forget it, of course not." Xu Rui smiled fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, when the devil's brigade arrives, this little devil will catch up, we have the time and opportunity, slowly clean him up and go."

After finishing speaking, Xu Rui glanced at the veteran and walked away with the 38 big cover.

"Damn, it's cheap little devil of the dog day" The veteran understood, scolded loudly, and followed.

However, after walking not far, Xu Rui and the veteran quietly turned back and hid behind a cluster of still smoking ashes, and in order to hide their traces as much as possible, the two of them also smeared a lot of soot on their faces and bodies.

Xu Rui and the veteran are really cunning enough, this is obviously to lure the snake out of the hole, trying to trick the little devil into showing himself.

However, this wait was only ten minutes, and the hundreds of small puddles dotted in front of him were still silent, and the damn little devil was not fooled.

After waiting for another five minutes, Xu Rui didn't dare to wait any longer.

After all, Hejiajiao is only less than thirty miles away from Baoxing Town, and it is impossible not to alarm the big team of devils in the Hejiajiao area when such a big fire ignited here just now.

Once the big army of devils arrived, things were a little troublesome.

With Xu Rui and the skills of a veteran, of course it is not a problem to get out, but the problem is that it is less than five miles away from Baoxing Town, and if the devil increases the search range, the ** battalion hiding in the town will have nothing to hide, so instead of being chased by the little devil when the time comes, it is better to transfer in advance while there is still some time.

"Let's go" Xu Rui got up at the moment and left with the veteran, but this time he really left.

Nearly ten minutes after Xu Rui and the veteran left, a small puddle of water about twenty meters away from the reed ash where they had been hiding before opened with a clatter, and then a figure covered in mud sat up.

This person is none other than Toshisi Kokahara.

At this time, Xiaoluhara Junsi was already on the verge of shock because of excessive blood loss and long-term immersion in ice water close to zero degrees, but this little devil was indeed tenacious, and with a spiritual will, he climbed to a pile of ashes that had not yet been extinguished, and then rolled into the ashes heap.

Wrapped in hot ashes, Toshimi Okahara finally felt better.

After a few moments, the limbs, which had been completely unconscious due to freezing, gradually regained consciousness.

After resting for a while, Okahara Toshisi struggled to sit up from the ash heap again, found a bandage from his backpack, and laboriously bandaged the wound on his right arm, and after bandaging the wound, he ate two more chocolate chip cookies.

Two hot chocolate chip cookies fell into his stomach, and Toshisi Kokahara regained some strength slightly.

I have to say that the vitality of special forces is really like that of cockroaches

It's all like this, Xiaoluyuan Junsi is still vigilant enough, a chaotic footsteps suddenly came, Xiaoluyuan Junsi's face changed slightly, and immediately turned over and plunged into a cigarette ash heap, and grabbed the cigarette ash as quickly as possible and wiped it on his body and face, only for a moment, the whole person merged with the entire ash heap.

A moment later, about a squad of devils rushed to the vicinity of Reeddang.

More than a dozen devils spread out in battle formation, carefully searching for them.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers coming, Okahara Toshisi let out a long sigh of relief and turned over from the ash pile and sat up.

The dozen or so devils who were searching and advancing were startled by the small deer hara Junsi who suddenly sat up in the ash heap, and the two devil soldiers who walked in front instinctively raised the 38 big cover and were about to shoot.

"Don't shoot, your own people." Seeing this, Xiaoluyuan Junsi hurriedly stopped it.

The two devils immediately froze there, and the second lieutenant of the devil led by him pulled out his saber and strode in front of Kokahara Toshisi, holding the saber against Kokahara Toshisi's throat and asking, "Who are you?"

Kokahara Toshisi replied weakly: "Intern staff officer of the War Department, Kokahara Toshisi"

While speaking, Ojihara Toshisi took out his military ID card from his jacket pocket with difficulty, and the devil second lieutenant took the military ID card and only glanced at it, then immediately straightened his feet and saluted Kokahara Toshisi.

Xiaoluyuan Junsi returned a military salute and said weakly: "Take me to meet your chief." ”

"Hello." The devil lieutenant paused again, then turned around and waved, and the two devil soldiers strode forward to support Xiaoluyuan Junsi, but let Xiaoluyuan Junsi push him away, saying, "No need, I can go by myself." ”
