Chapter 34: Distress on the way
In the dark night, Wang Liang led the commandos to grope their way forward. Because their goal was to make a detour back to the rear of the camp where the Kwantung Army was stationed, they had to go all the way to the east.
The mountain road was uneven, and Wang Liang and the others went over the mountains and mountains along the way.
"Keep up with your back, don't be left behind." Wang Liang told the commandos behind him that if he got lost in this deep mountain and old forest, it was unlikely that he would go out alone.
Just as Wang Liang was talking to the commandos behind him, Gou Yu walked at the forefront of the team. Because he was in a hurry to go, the pathfinder stick landed before it hit the ground, and he suddenly found that he couldn't lift one foot.
"Battalion commander, my feet seem to be stuck in the mud." After discovering this situation, Gou Yu immediately wanted to report to Wang Liang, and he couldn't let the commandos behind him encounter this situation.
"Stop!" Hearing what Gou Yu said, Wang Liang hurriedly asked the team to stop.
"What's going on?"
Wang Liang took a flashlight and was taken aback. Isn't this stuck in a swamp? The dog's rest of the body was sinking quickly, and within a few minutes the mud was already up to the calf.
"Battalion commander, leave me alone, let's go." The dog knows that the situation is not good, and it will be difficult to get out of this quagmire. So he gritted his teeth and decided to let Wang Liang and them go first.
Wang Liang will never give up on every fighter, and he said to Gou Yu without hesitation: "Take off your gun and bullet bag and give it to me, and grab this stick." I won't give up on every one of my commandos unless I'm dead. ”
Wang Liang's words undoubtedly gave Gou Yu a shot in the arm, just dying like this, he was unwilling, he wanted to die on the battlefield of killing devils.
"Come on, hold on, I'm going to pull up."
The other commandos were not idle, untied their belts and threw them to the dogs.
"Dog leftovers, tie it around your waist." Liu Rui said.
"Come, I'll shout one or two, let's work together." Wang Liang said to the commandos.
"One-two, pull!"
"One-two, pull!"
The strength of the two dozen people was still quite large, and the dog's body stopped sinking, and obviously began to move upward. It was a physical attrition war, and it was a huge test for the commandos, and none of them dared to let go.
"Come a few more times, work harder, we must not leave our brother behind!" Wang Liang cheered up the commandos.
"Pull!"
Thanks to the joint efforts of the commandos, Goyu finally got out of the swamp quagmire safely and escaped from the clutches of death.
At this time, the sky also began to brighten.
"Hmm" tossed for such a long time, and the team members were also tired and exhausted.
"Let's all get some rest." Looking at the current state of the players, Wang Liang knew that they had not rested all night, and the physical consumption for them was too great.
"Battalion commander, I'm sorry, I'm dragging down our team." Goyu felt very guilty because he had delayed the entire commando team by himself.
Wang Liang didn't blame him, and comforted: "Dog leftover, don't say that, if you hadn't walked in the front to explore the way for the brothers, would our team have gone so far?" It's okay, let's go there and rest, and we'll have to hurry later. ”
"That's it, we're all brothers, why are you so polite."
"yes, who's with whom. Drink some water and rest, dogs. ”
Hearing the words of the commandos, Gou Yu's heart was so warm that he felt that it was good to know these brothers.
Seeing this scene, Wang Liang was also very pleased. A team can only win a battle if it is condensed into an iron fist, and these players in front of them, they have obviously begun to understand these truths.
Wang Liang took a closer look at this swamp, and the area was really not small. Those who know will definitely not dare to pass, but the Kwantung Army must also think so, so with such a natural barrier, the Japanese must be relatively lax in their defense here. Wang Liang felt that this should be an opportunity, and the fact was that the Kwantung Army had already detected that there was a swamp in this place, so it did not send too many troops here.
"I estimate that through this swamp, it will not be far from the artillery positions of the Kwantung Army." Wang Liang said to Liu Rui.
"This is too risky, not to mention whether we can go over, if there are Japanese soldiers on the other side, we can't dodge in the swamp at all, won't we become a living target for the Japanese?" Following Wang Liang into the no-man's land is already a great test, and he has to pass through the swamp, and these two days are the severe challenges he has really faced since he became a soldier.
Wang Liang gritted his teeth and firmly chose this dangerous path. "We have no choice, I will take the lead, you will follow me."
Wang Liang trusts his own judgment, and he can speak Japanese, if he really wants to run into a patrol of the Kwantung Army, he can barely cope with it. Wang Liang found a longer wooden stick and walked at the front of the line. With each step, he carefully tested the depth of the swamp with a wooden stick, and only after making sure it was safe to do so.
The swamp was long, and the pace of the march was very slow. July was summer, the fiery sun was shining, the commandos' clothes were already soaked with sweat, the water in the kettle had long been drunk, and their bodies had begun to dehydrate.
The team's lips were chapped, and although they were uncomfortable, they gritted their teeth and persevered. After walking for a few miles, Wang Liang noticed that the mud under his feet was becoming less and less, and they might have walked out of this terrible swamp. Just as he was breathing a sigh of relief, a shout suddenly came from not far away.
"Who are you?" (Japanese)
Following the direction from which the voice came, Wang Liang looked over, and there were more than a dozen Kwantung Army soldiers standing opposite, led by a warrant officer.
The commandos were startled and hurriedly raised their guns and aimed them at the Japanese soldiers. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army also pointed their guns at the commandos, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides was full.
"Put your guns down, don't shoot without my orders." Wang Liang lowered his voice and said to the commandos.
Hearing Wang Liang's order, the commandos put down their guns, but they didn't dare to relax for a moment, and the Japanese devils on the opposite side were murderous and unblinking.
"We are from the Fifth Wing, and we lost our way during the exercise, so we came this way." Wang Liang replied in Japanese.
"It's your own people, put the gun down." When the warrant officer on the opposite side heard this, he did not have the slightest suspicion and ordered the soldier to put his gun down. Recently, there have been quite a few exercises in the Kwantung Army, and it is a common thing to get separated, and the person opposite is still wearing the same military uniform as himself, so he is not suspicious.
"The chief is from Kyoto, right?" The two sides stood together, and after the warrant officer saw Wang Liang's rank of lieutenant, he took the initiative to approach.
"Well~, can you hear me?" Wang Liang asked in imitation of the Japanese tone.
"Yes, I am also from Kyoto, and listening to the chief, I have a very hometown flavor." The Japanese officers were clearly ranked, and the warrant officer said respectfully.
Wang Liang felt that he could put the position of the artillery from the mouth of this officer, so that he could save a lot of trouble. Pretending to be casual, he said, "Where is Chrysanthemum-kun's troops now?" I haven't seen him in a while. ”
The chrysanthemum in Wang Liang's mouth was the squadron leader of the Kwantung Army artillery squadron he met when he first crossed over, but he didn't know that the chrysanthemum had left.
"Commander, you mean Captain Chrysanthemum, he was transferred not long ago. Now the mountain artillery jun is the squadron leader of the artillery wing. ”
"Oh, I've been transferred. Where is the Mountain Artillery King's troops now? Chrysanthemum-kun is my senior, and he called me and told me that he had something to give me and let me have time to pick it up. Hey, I didn't expect him to be gone. Wang Liang pretended to be very lost.
"Sir, the mountain artillery captain's troops are less than 3 kilometers over there, you can take a look." The warrant officer pointed to the northwest and suggested to Wang Liang.
Wang Liang was very happy in his heart, he really didn't guess wrong, the Kwantung Army did put the artillery in the north, and all the effort was wasted.
"Warrant officer, you haven't said the name yet?"
"Sir, my name is Junji Ito, please take care of me." Hearing Wang Liang ask his name, Ito was very excited.
"Well, Ito-kun, work hard, and you'll succeed. I still have official business, so I'll go first. Wang Liang thought to himself, Ito? Hmph, why don't you call Hirobumi Ito? Big silly fork, stupid to death.
"Sir, go slowly."
In this way, Wang Liang's commando team swaggered towards the northwest under the eyes of Ito's team.
