Chapter 13: The Death of a Hero

Hao Cunyi and Huo Xiaoshan's sixth day in the mountains and forests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past six days, the two of them went all the way north, and the devil still pursued him.

Once, it was very hanging, and a team of devils actually ran in front of the two of them unknowingly in a horse-drawn plow, and then turned back to search, fortunately, it was very windy at that time, and Huo Xiaoshan used a branch to remove the footprints left on the snow before the devils found them.

But those devils still found something suspicious in the snow, dozens of devils turned around there with guns, fortunately the devil team did not have wolf dogs, so they did not find the two people hidden in the waist-deep snow.

"Hey, stupid big man, I think we should go back and get out of the devil's encirclement." Huo Xiaoshan said as he walked.

In the past few days, through contact with Hao Cunyi, he has completely regarded Hao Cunyi as his own family, and there is no longer a trace of separation in his heart.

"Oh," Hao Cunyi agreed, but his head was thinking about something else.

He felt that the gunshot wound in his leg was more serious this day, and now he has a fever! I feel that the wind blows like a knife and it is cold on my body!

Turn back, those wolf dogs of the devils are not vegetarians, hiding in the snow can hide the devils but can't hide those four-legged beasts, and it is impossible to jump out of the encirclement of the devils when they go back.

Walking forward, his injury was already very serious, and even the burden he was carrying was taken by Huo Xiaoshan on his own initiative, although there was only the Yanling knife flying wing crossbow and some things that must be used in the mountains and forests, but such a weight was a burden for him now, he still couldn't keep up with Huo Xiaoshan's footsteps, it was a matter of time before he was caught up by the devil with such a drag, he believed that according to the speed of the devil's pursuit, he was now only one mountain away from the two of them at most.

It is impossible to surrender the devil to be a traitor, Hao Cunyi didn't think about it at all, if he came up with such a thought, he felt that it was an insult to himself to his dead brother.

It's time to make a break with these damn little devils, Hao Cunyi secretly decided, he is not afraid of death, as long as he can pull some devils on his back when he is dying, it will be worth it!

It's just that Hao Cunyi looked at Huo Xiaoshan, who was full of energy in the snow in front of him, and had a little headache, he saw that this little cub never gave up on him and then escaped by himself, when the two met at the beginning, Hao Cunyi felt that he saved the child, and now he knew that the facts behind this were really as the child said, he couldn't see his pitiful appearance before he came to save himself!

Hao Cunyi was like a mirror in his heart, if this child hadn't dragged himself down, he would have slipped away on the skis a lot ago, and the white mountains and fields were like the backyard of the child's own home, and he now had absolute confidence in this child who was only a teenager.

The cold and hunger in the mountains and forests of the Northeast are the biggest threat to the disadvantaged volunteers, but it is not a problem at all in front of this bold and careful child, and he has followed up on him to pick all the important things he knows how to fight devils, even if he dies, there is nothing to regret.

I have to think about letting this kid go first, and then I can make a break with the devil myself! Hao Cunyi thought.

"I'm talking to you, what are you humming and thinking?" Huo Xiaoshan said something to Hao Cunyi just now, and when he saw that Hao Cunyi didn't say anything, he turned around and said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm thinking about what you said, hehe, that makes sense." Hao Cunyi's mouth agreed, but his eyes turned to the mountains and fields around, and they were already panting at this time, "Do you like to eat pine seeds?" The big one, the kind that looks like DC oil when you bite into it. There was a temptation in Hao Cunyi's words that he deliberately designed, but Huo Xiaoshan was a child after all, and he didn't hear it.

"Of course I like it, I don't have it at home. My father said that the pine seeds are only produced on the red pine that has lived for many years. Of course, Huo Xiaoshan was also hungry, there was no such red pine in front of his house, and it was just that the merchant Li Youyou brought a big bag of pine towers to his family, and when he opened the pine seed shells outside, there was a unique pine fragrance just by smelling it.

"Look, there's a red pine on that hill!" Hao Cunyi pointed to a mountain in front of him with his hand and said.

Huo Xiaoshan looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a dark blue color that was obviously different from the white around him, it must be a red pine, and other trees had bare poles left in winter, and the leaves of larch fell clean in autumn.

"I don't know if there are pine seeds there." Hao Cunyi muttered thoughtfully.

"How can there be pine seeds in winter? Yes, all the snow was buried," Huo Xiaoshan said.

"Not necessarily, maybe there is something falling from the tree, you haven't seen it before I've seen it." Hao Cunyi pursed his lips.

Huo Xiaoshan didn't say anything, but his eyes didn't leave the woods.

"Why don't you go and see if there are any birds there and come back. Alas, I'm wounded now and can't shoot, it's up to you. Hao Cunyi had a bitter look on his face, he had already figured out the temper of this child these days, and he ate soft rather than hard.

"Gotta get it, I'll take a look," Huo Xiaoshan said, but he didn't know that he had fallen for the "stupid" big man's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

After a while, he had already put on his skis, took a ski skewer for crutches handed over by Hao Cunyi, and shot out like an arrow with both hands on the ground.

He silently looked at Huo Xiaoshan who was gliding in the distance, Huo Xiaoshan's skiing movements were very chic and natural, and he was still carrying the burden of the Yanling knife and the flying wing crossbow behind him, Hao Cunyi felt that his decision was correct, if it wasn't for his own drag, even if there was a brigade of devils, he might not be able to catch up with this child.

"Little guy, I'll give you these two treasures, remember to kill a few more devils for me." Hao Cunyi said in his heart, and then no longer hesitated, turned around and limped back with great determination

……

There were obviously two rows of footprints, one large and one small, in the snow, which were left by Hao Cunyi and Huo Xiaoshan.

A devil soldier was holding a big wolf dog that seemed to be about to break free from his hands, and was chasing along these two footprints, nearly 100 devil puppet soldiers were scattered and lined up, pulling the search formation, and were hunched over to search for the mountain, followed by a Japanese officer with a command knife and a two-devil translator wearing a black suit but wearing a Japanese military cap.

Hao Cunyi hid his body behind a big tree, carrying a box cannon in each hand.

He clearly remembered that this was the eleventh time he had ambushed the devils.

The original ten ambushes were all ambushed by themselves with many brothers, and when the devil puppet army, whose strength was significantly less than their own, entered the ambush circle, they suddenly launched an attack to strike more and outnumber, although the quality of the devil's individual soldiers was much higher than that of his brothers, but he couldn't add more Chinese. Two lives fight for one, if you can't fight for three lives, although the brothers also have a lot of sacrifices, but that is also called victory.

However, now he wants to fight these devils and two devils alone, the ending is already doomed, Hao Cunyi does not have much culture, and he is not the kind of person with a petty bourgeois mood, otherwise he must use two words to describe his current mood, that is, "tragic", to use six words to describe his current mood: too tragic! Commander Hao, who once had tens of thousands of people, was going to fight the vicious devil alone!

The Japanese soldier who led the wolf dog, he felt that as a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, he had come to Shinna to serve the emperor.

He looked down on the cowardly Shina troops, and he felt that it was an insult to the samurai for an imperial soldier like him to be sent into the mountains and forests to hunt down a gang of mountain bandits.

After the 918 Incident, his squad defeated a battalion of the Northeast Army, and this glory made him constantly urge the wolf dog forward, and the clearer and clearer footprints in front of him made him believe that the cunning Shina man was not far ahead, as if he felt victory beckoning to him, and he could sit back in the warm room and drink sake, with the geisha in his arms.

Just then, he heard a gunshot, and the wolfdog, which had been being dragged on a leash, fell headlong into the snow, and blood was flowing out of a hole in its celestial cover. He was dragged by the fallen dog, and he was about to shout that there was an ambush, but he felt as if he were flying towards the sky, where there was the call of Amaterasu, and his body fell heavily on the snow, because there was also a bloody hole in his heavenly spirit cover.

All the devils and puppet soldiers all lay down on the spot, or hid in a big tree to cover themselves, and began to look for the guns, and they had already judged the approximate location of the attackers according to the direction in which the spears fell, and in the process of this judgment, five or six more devils fell under the guns.

Hao Cunyi put the devil only 50 meters away from him and shot him.

The reason why he had to put the enemy very close was because the effective range of his box gun was far inferior to that of the Japanese Type 38 rifle, and only within the range could he kill as many devils as possible.

Knock down the wolfhound first because he hated the beast so much, and it would be troublesome for that guy to get entangled at such a short distance.

Hao Cunyi's location had already been discovered by the enemy, and at the same moment there would always be many bullets hitting the trunk of the tree where he was hiding.

He knew that the devil was suppressing himself with firepower, and he must be outflanking him in a roundabout way. But he was not afraid, he kept firing a few shots, then changing a tree as a cover, and using the box cannon in his hand to ignite the enemy as much as possible.

When Hao Cunyi knocked down the eighteenth enemy, he felt a bullet coming from behind, and a bullet hit his originally injured leg again. He dragged the wounded leg, still facing the devil who had just come up from the bottom of the hillside, and he was leaning against the trunk of a tree, still firing his bow from side to side.

The devils and puppet soldiers in front were already frightened by his guns, and they didn't dare to shoot at him anymore, and they were quietly retreating outside the effective range of the box cannon under the cover of the trees. Gradually, the devils in front of them all withdrew to a distance of more than a hundred meters, leaving behind nearly twenty corpses. The two wings and the devils behind did not dare to approach Hao Cunyi too much, so there was a brief silence on the battlefield.

"General Hao Cunyi, I am Yamazaki Wood Shaoza of the Great Japanese Kwantung Army." Behind a big tree in front of me, there was the intermittent shouting of a devil interpreter, "General Hao Cunyi, as a samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, I appreciate your military style very much, if you are willing to put down the weapons in your hand, I can guarantee your life and become the largest officer of the Imperial Cooperative Army under me." ”

"General Hao Cunyi, your soldiers are gone, you have no way out, I hope you can consider my suggestion."

The shouting sounded very clear in the silent winter mountain forest, and the guns of all the devil puppet army were aimed at Hao Cunyi. Hao Cunyi was stunned, and supported himself against the trunk of the tree with that good leg, and the box cannon in his hand hung down to the ground, as if even the bleeding wounded leg was not his own.

Suddenly! Hao Cunyi jumped to the side on one leg, turned around, lay on his side on the snow, supported his body with one elbow, the box cannon in his hand went off, more than fifty steps behind him, one after another the devils who wanted to sneak attack were knocked down on the snow, and the rest of the devils hurriedly retreated to hide behind the thick trees.

The interpreter's shout sounded again, but the answer to them was not only the sound of the wind blowing in the mountains and forests, but also the sound of gunfire like the Grim Reaper, where the gunshots rang out, there must have been devils or puppet soldiers who had entered the range of the box cannon and fell on the snow, and the red blood slowly turned black stained the white snow, like a blooming flower of death.

And Hao Cunyi had no effective cover due to being attacked by the devils in the front and back, and in the end, he could only sit on the edge of the tree trunk, facing the devils under the mountain.

The reason why he chose to face the devil under the mountain, not the devil behind him, was because he set up an ambush on the hillside, and the devil below had to look up to see him, and he stubbornly thought: Why should he be lower than these Japanese shorts in front of him, as an upright Chinese? Even if I sit, I'm taller than you brutes!

He had already been pierced by several bullets, and he felt his life slipping, but he still stubbornly refused to let go of his guns.

Yamazaki stood behind a pine tree, he could clearly see that more than two hundred meters away, there was a tall Chinese still leaning against the same tree with a gun, Yamazaki Mu's face did not change, but there was a trace of respect and helplessness in his eyes.

He raised his snow-white gloved right hand and spoke a word in Japanese, and the Japanese soldiers who had put their guns over their shoulders and aimed at the Chinese pulled the trigger. The smoke from the muzzle of the gun cleared, and the Chinese remained untouched, like an eternal statue, but it never pulled the wrench at the enemy who was getting closer and closer......
