Zhai Meng walked through the dark jungle, rustling with thick fallen leaves under their feet. I had a poor sense of distance in the dark, and I could only judge the distance by time, so I glanced at my watch and judged that we must have walked most of the forest.

"Cuckoo." Suddenly, a bird chirped from the trees.

followed Zhai Meng to the front, disguised as a Qiu Ba of the Japanese army, and gently learned a sentence "Cuckoo" out of a playful mentality. ”

There was no movement on the tree, and this Qiu Ba felt strange, and learned two sentences in a row: "Cuckoo, cuckoo." ”

The branches of the trees shook suddenly, and a head wearing a Japanese-style steel helmet poked out from among the trees, and the owner of the head cursed in a low voice, saying, "Yaga." ”

Our knowledge of Japanese is limited to such simple pronunciation, and we ignore everything he mutters after he scolds. Because Zhai Meng had already climbed this not-so-tall tree as agittly as an ape for the first time.

Before the Japanese soldier could figure out what was going on, Zhai Meng had already knocked him off the tree and dropped him to the ground. Both of them fell down one after another, Zhai Meng jumped up again, and punched the Japanese soldier in the face, and the Japanese soldier stood up and was knocked to the ground again.

Before he could grab the gun, the two Qiu Ba who followed Zhai Meng had already pounced, and the two snowy spears stabbed straight down. Due to the excessive force, the spear stabbed the Japanese soldier almost through the ground, and the Japanese soldier's mouth was blocked by Zhai Meng, and he let out a whining scream.

This Japanese soldier's secret sentry used bird cries to communicate with "his own people", and he couldn't imagine that after "his own people" matched the code, they would continue to cuckoo endlessly, making fun of themselves. This annoyed the Japanese soldier, and he opened his mouth to scold, otherwise he would not have been exposed so soon.

I walked up to look at the corpse of the Japanese soldier and said, "Everyone be careful, there should be a few who haven't shown up, they have come here, don't go wrong at the last moment!" ”

Disguised as several vanguard soldiers of the Japanese army, they drew scoops according to gourds every time they walked, and used this bird call to lure the Japanese soldiers hiding in the shadows. As long as they exposed their positions, Zhai Meng, Cui Manzi and the others would rush over as fast as possible to solve them.

After all, there are many of us, and we are all carefully selected elite soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers are caught off guard, and there is no way to resist at all, and we who are prepared will always be cheaper in the dark.

In such a simple way, we killed two more Japanese soldiers along the way.

Wu Laojia caught up with me and said, "Walk a little longer, and you will be almost at the edge of the forest." In the past, when the Japanese didn't come, we used to go there to hunt and collect medicine, but now it has become a forbidden area. ”

Wu Laojia followed us for most of the night, and saw these 30 or so Chinese soldiers killing the Japanese secret posts in ambush one after another. This also made him feel more uplifted, and his trust in us increased a little more.

Zhang Da said: "Since they are almost at the edge of the forest, it seems that the Japanese army's secret post has almost been pulled out by us." ”

Zhang Da's analysis is very reasonable, the Japanese army's secret outpost has laid two lines of defense in this primeval forest that is almost impossible for enemy troops to patronize, which is already careful enough, and I can't think of any reason why they would arrange a third line of defense.

"Rest in place!" I looked at my watch, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and after waiting for more than an hour or so, there was a faint light in the sky, and that was the best time for us to dive into Moyunling. Now that it's pitch black, even if we get out of the woods, we won't do much.

I kicked Wang Sibao, who was sitting next to me, and said, "Take a few people and put a fifty-meter guard post around!" ”

Wang Sibao randomly selected a few people and put a guard post around the periphery of our rest. The rest of the people seize the time to rest, and for marching and fighting, physical strength is always the key factor that determines success or failure.

Zhang Da moderately expressed his admiration at this time, and said: "Company Commander An, I didn't expect that we could really touch such a far place, just rush to this point, this operation is also a great achievement!" ”

I didn't want to discuss with him what kind of hard work, I leaned against the big tree and half-lay down, and said: "Let's not talk about the merits, the hours after dawn are the most critical hours!" …… Battalion Commander Zhang, I heard that your Northeast Army, the air force back then was second to none in the country, and there must be hundreds of aircraft of all kinds, right? ”

Zhang Da sighed and said, "What's the use of mentioning those!" At that time, there were not only hundreds of planes, but at the peak, our Northeast Army Air Force received nearly 300 aircraft! ”

I was a little surprised and said, "There are so many? Even now, this is a powerful air force. How many planes are there for the Flying Tigers of the US allies to aid China! It's amazing! I heard my former commander say that Zhang Dashuai bought 40 Breguet reconnaissance bombers from France, is this a rumor? ”

Zhang Da shook his head, his face showed great regret, and said: "Alas, what's the use, the Japanese called, and the air force was ordered not to take off to meet the battle!" Three hundred planes is not a lot, and they are all left to the little devils! Zhang Dashuai's country was defeated overnight! ”

I chimed in and said, "Otherwise, one soldier will be a bear, and a nest of bears will be a nest, which is not bad at all." Now there may be many Japanese planes in the sky that have captured your Northeast Army, and I can't imagine that the planes that have been bought with so much money are finally used to bomb our own compatriots! ”

Zhang Da was silent, as a Northeasterner, he didn't know how to answer in the face of me who was so difficult to distinguish whether it was regret or ridicule.

Wang Sibao hurriedly ran back and said, "Company commander, there is a situation." ”

I immediately snapped up from my rambling and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Sibao said: "One of our brothers who was in charge of guarding was stabbed to death outside the forest! ”

Zhang Da also stood up and said, "Where is it?" Take us there! ”

Wang Sibao turned around and pointed and said, "It's right behind our team." ”

I shoved him and said, "What nonsense! Lead the way, go over and have a look! ”

We followed Wang Sibao to a place about fifty meters behind our team, and a Qiu Ba was slashed from behind. Judging from the carbine thrown on the ground, there would not be many Japanese soldiers who attacked him, at most one or two people, because he was so nervous that he didn't even have time to pick up the gun.

I'm almost certain now that this is just a straggler of the Japanese outpost, that he wasn't a deliberate third line of defense, that he might just be a fish that slipped through the net.

I immediately gathered my team and said, "There are still sentry posts in the forest that have not been cleared!" I don't think he will go far, because he wants to escape past us and return to his base camp to report that he must be nearby! Everybody lift up their spirits and find him! ”

Zhang Da was a little strange and said, "Why didn't this Japanese soldier shoot a warning?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "People have selfish intentions. Some people don't want to live, but no one is not afraid of death! He was worried that he had shot himself, and we would soon be able to find him by following the sound of the gunshot! He wants to live! ”

I'm almost certain now that this was just a straggler of Japanese outposts, that he wasn't a deliberate third line of defense, that he might just be a fish that slipped through the net.
