Through this chaotic stone formation, we also bypassed the minefield, and our team of more than 30 people finally appeared at the foot of the mountain behind Moyunling in embarrassment with a body of scars.

Wu Laojia pointed to a forest halfway up the mountain in the distance and said, "Sir, I won't send you in front, you have to be careful when you climb halfway up the mountain and pass through that wood, because you can meet devil soldiers there." ”

I picked up my binoculars and looked at it, and the dense woods became a natural barrier, and I couldn't see anything but the black and oppressive trees.

I was a little confused, because whether it was our strategic analysis or the intelligence given by the US plane's reconnaissance, there should not be a garrison in the mountains behind Moyunling.

With doubts, I asked Wu Laojia and said, "Are you saying that if we pass through that wood, we will be able to meet the Japanese army?" That's the back mountain, do they have an army there? ”

Wu Laojia shook his head and said, "I don't understand whether there is an army or not." I had only been to the forest once before I was spotted by the devil soldiers, but fortunately I was able to run fast and know the terrain so I was not caught. ”

I asked, "How many Japanese soldiers were chasing you at that time?" ”

Wu Laojia said: "It was night, I don't know how many people chased me, I just heard them shouting, there were six or seven people." ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "Good! Wu Laojia, thank you for taking us here, you can go back now, wait a while when it gets dark, that Quanfu Road is very difficult to walk. ”

Wu Laojia hesitated and said, "Sir, what do you say...... It's a joke to be able to bring my son back, right? ”

I sighed and said, "Wu Laojia, I want to bring back all the compatriots who were captured by the devils, but I can only act when the opportunity arises. But don't worry, if you have the chance, we will help you bring Quanfu back. ”

Wu Laojia looked at our group, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Okay, sir, I, Wu Laojia, will risk my life and accompany you to go in again!" ”

I don't think there is any need for him as a guide, but Wu Laojia is very stubborn, he must follow us and continue to go down, he said sincerely: "Sir, there are still many ditches and ditches, I am the most familiar with them, you take me, maybe it can be of great use." ”

Since he wanted to go, I had no choice but to let him, and after a short rest, we began to climb halfway up the mountain as a team.

Mountains are like this, they seem to be close at hand from a distance, and when you actually climb them, you will find that they are as far as you can reach your destination.

I asked a few Qiu Ba to take turns to support Wu Laojia, but Wu Laojia refused, and he said with some spirit: "If I use someone else to take care of it, it won't become a burden, then what's the use of me coming here with you!" ”

Wu Laojia is the speaker is unintentional but the listener is intentional, Staff Officer Liang, who has been taken care of by Qiu Ba, was also inspired by Wu Laojia's words, and no longer needed special care, gritted his teeth and followed us to climb the mountain.

Ani and Zhai Meng are the two people who are the most comfortable in water, and they are also the vanguard of this march as a matter of course. But these two people never walked together, and basically they were divided into two ways, each going their own way. Tan Weimin wanted to keep up with Ani several times, but before he could keep up for more than ten minutes, he was thrown away by Ani without a trace.

I persuaded him, saying, "Don't think you'll be able to catch up with Ani in the mountains, she's the one who runs around with monkeys!" ”

Tan Weimin sighed and said, "I don't think the monkey is as fast as her." ”

Towards evening, we reached the edge of the woods halfway up the mountain, which was so dense that without a guide or someone like Ani Zhai Meng, we might have lost our way into the woods.

The expeditionary force suffered heavy losses in the Savage Mountains of Burma, in fact, a large part of the reason was because of the dizzying jungle in the mountains. After turning around for more than ten days, I finally found that I had been circling in circles within a radius of 100 meters, not counting those who were tired and starving, and there were not a few soldiers who died of psychological breakdowns.

"Stop moving! Rest in place! "I asked the Qiu Ba around me to pass on the orders one by one and pass on the orders.

After walking for most of the day, and marching in a highly stressful manner, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and had to replenish food and water. We trimmed the edge of the forest, took out the canned food kettle, and ate while resting.

When Wu Laojia ate canned beef, his hands were trembling, he was not hungry, he was excited. He never imagined that beef could be eaten like this, which was a complete waste for those mountain people who had not been able to eat meat for a long time.

"Wu Laojia, don't be reluctant to eat, we still have a lot. And if you open the can and don't eat it, in such weather, it will soon deteriorate and rot, and you can't eat it when it stinks! "I saw that Wu Laojia had eaten half of a box of canned food, and if he wanted to pick up the other half, I had to remind him.

Wu Laojia was stunned, and then began to eat the remaining half again, and he even had to lick the inside of the canned food box carefully before stopping.

Many Qiu Ba saw this scene, no one laughed at him, we all know too much about the value of food. If it weren't for the special nature of our mission, we wouldn't have been able to get such treatment.

Our two meals a day are at most one multigrain meal and one white rice, and when we see meat, it is also very rare.

Zhang Da suddenly said: "Don't throw away the canned food boxes that you have eaten, collect them uniformly, and find a place to bury them!" ”

After a little thought, I understood the necessity of this, our canned food boxes are printed with the USA logo, once the Japanese army found these empty boxes, as long as you are not stupid, you can guess that there were once Chinese troops here.

Wang Sibao and Ma Shun collected the empty lunch boxes, dug a soil pit with a military shovel, buried them all, and covered them with rotten grass, and when we turned back, it is estimated that even we ourselves will not be able to discover this place again.

After resting for half an hour, we had almost recovered our strength, and we began to continue walking deeper along the forest.

The forest at night is full of eerie atmosphere, and occasionally animals such as roe deer can startle people, and we can't turn on the flashlight, so we have to move forward in the forest in the dark.

The trees obscured the starry sky, so that the darkness in the forest could not see the five fingers, and I asked everyone not to pull too far away to avoid pulling people down.

Wu Laojia, who had been following me all the time, suddenly grabbed my clothes and said softly: "Sir, be careful in this place, last time I was not far from the front and was discovered by the devil soldiers. ”

I instructed Qiu Ba beside me and said, "Order everyone to stand by!" Call Ani and Zhai Meng back! ”

After a while, these two people jumped down from the tree, I looked up at the tree, and said to them: "Wu Laojia said that he had encountered Japanese troops in front, and it is impossible to station a large group of Japanese troops in such an environment here, I guess they are dark sentry scouts, you can see if you can find them!" ”
