Chapter 680: The Lost Sheep Cave on the Lost Sheep Ridge
The Lost Sheep Cave on the Lost Sheep Ridge is definitely a famous place in the local mountainous area, because it is famous but rarely visited.
At this time, because as its name suggests, if you dare to enter the sheep cave, you will not return, because it is not only sheep but also people who get lost.
But these days, there are more people outside the Lost Sheep Cave, which is naturally caused by the Japanese army.
Some old and young women and children in the vicinity of the Lost Sheep Cave who had no time to evacuate saw the Japanese army moving closer to the Lost Sheep Cave, in case they were discovered by the Japanese army, they would rather retreat into the labyrinthine Lost Sheep Cave than let the Japanese army waste and kill.
However, just two days ago, more than a few dozen people who were hiding outside the maze saw a team of the New Fourth Army enter the maze cave, followed by Japanese troops several times the size of the New Fourth Army.
Seeing that the army dared to enter the Lost Sheep Cave, the people felt that it was not safe here, so they scattered farther away.
And there was an old man among the people who had no children and no daughters, and his legs and feet were not good, but he refused to go again no matter what.
He said you go, if I don't wait for my life to escape, I will die on the road first, I will watch this sheep cave and resign myself to fate.
In the autumn of troubled times, this old man had no children and no daughters, and the people who fled for his life in the same village were all old and young women and children, and he couldn't walk by himself, so how could others carry him on his back, so he left him as much food as possible and let him go.
So the old man hid in a forest opposite the sheep cave, leaned against a big rock, and looked at the sheep cave less than 100 meters away.
The Lost Sheep Cave did not become quiet because of the departure of the villagers, and the old man soon heard the fierce gunfire coming from inside.
The sound of the gunfire became more and more dull and shocking as the cave magnified, but no matter how fierce the battle was, few people came out of it, and I don't know whether they got lost in it or were killed in it.
So the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, why bother, even if you win the battle in it, you will definitely be able to come out? What to do if you're hungry and eat people inside?
But today, the old man saw another officer of the national army carrying a box cannon and carrying a strange-shaped pocket carefully through a hole in the Lost Sheep Cave.
From the outside, it can be seen that the pocket contains something round and coodong, and the old man is surprised, is this world chaotic? It seems that the people who went in were also Chinese, so why did they still carry steamed buns on their backs, and did they plan to live in it permanently if they couldn't get out?
At this time, the officer of the national army named Huo Xiaoshan was carrying the "steamed buns" that the old man said about carefully in the cave of the Lost Sheep Cave.
Before Huo Xiaoshan could rush to the Lost Sheep Cave, he had already handed over Niuniu and Dan Dan to the two women who were saved by him.
Then as soon as he inquired, he heard that a New Fourth Army was chased by devils and went to the Lost Sheep Cave, Huo Xiaoshan did not hesitate to inquire about the direction of the Lost Sheep Cave and chased down.
He naturally didn't know that Murong Pei and the others had been chased into the Lost Sheep Cave by the Japanese army, but he felt that this was a good opportunity to give full play to his strengths to fight devils.
Because the two local women said that the caves in the sheep cave are intricate, and even the locals will not return when they enter.
The cave is intricate, so isn't the battle in it more about the reaction speed of both sides? You can play a one-person guerrilla war in it and break the Japanese army individually.
It's just that Huo Xiaoshan's own box cannon is running out of bullets, and the Japanese army's Wang Ba box can be obtained but it can't be used, so Huo Xiaoshan started the idea of the Japanese army's melon grenade.
He not only picked up the four Japanese grenades that were killed by himself, but also attacked some scattered Japanese soldiers again, collected more than 50 Japanese melon grenades and some food, and rushed to the sheep cave on his back.
As for the pocket for the grenade, he took the pants of a Japanese soldier and tied the two trouser legs with the shoelaces of the Japanese army, so from the appearance, the pocket is not strangely shaped.
As rumored by the outside world, the cave in the Lost Sheep Cave is indeed complex and abnormal, the height of the cave is four or five meters high, and two or three people stacked Arhats may not be able to reach the top, and some of the low parts of the cave are only more than one meter high, and they need to be waisted or crawled to pass.
And there are a lot of forks in the hole, and this kind of fork in the road is not only the left and right forks, not only into the ground, but also in the sky.
At this time, there was a light dozens of meters in front of Huo Xiaoshan, and the cave was the kind of heaven, and the entrance of the cave must be like a skylight in a residence before light would come in.
Huo Xiaoshan never thought that there would be heavenly light in this cave, which was completely different from the five fingers he expected.
He looked at the almost elliptical light and shadow cast by the outside sky in front of him in the dark and dim place, and after thinking about it, he did not step forward, but walked back a few meters into another fork in the road.
Huo Xiaoshan will not walk into that piece of light, God knows if there are Japanese soldiers pointing guns at that piece of light in the dark, once they enter, they will be live targets.
It is a great irony to think that the power of nature is truly magical, and I don't know how this cave complex was formed, but the human beings, who claim to be the spirits of all things, are fighting in them.
Huo Xiaoshan sighed and walked carefully deeper with the gun and his pocket on his back, this hole was not connected to the hole with the skylight, with the faint light that still existed at the entrance of the cave, Huo Xiaoshan was already getting luckier.
The cave is sometimes wide and narrow, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and there is even flowing water, and there are different sounds faintly heard from the depths, which is a clear proof that there are many people inside, but after the refraction of the cave, he can't figure out how far that person is.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't try to memorize the path he took, since it was rumored that it was complicated and abnormal, like a labyrinth, why did he bother with his brain?
Thinking of this sheep cave can stump ordinary people but can't help themselves, then others can't get out of the skylight, but they can get out.
Since the foot of the cave is naturally full of stones, Huo Xiaoshan wears cloth shoes with double mille-feuille soles, which makes him feel lucky, because this kind of shoes will not make a sound when stepping on the stone slab.
Huo Xiaoshan bet that the casualties of the Japanese army here were higher than those of the New Fourth Army, because the Japanese soldiers wore the kind of anti-wool big-toed shoes, and when they ran in the cave, they were naturally "coo-dong", and it was easy to expose the target.
Soon, the front became bright again, and Huo Xiaoshan knew that there must be another vertical hole similar to an open skylight in front of him.
By this time he had gone far in the hole, and when he looked back, there was no light in sight, only a dark hole.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't remember the path he had walked, but he remembered that there was no fork in the cave at present, and he had gone too deep, and he didn't want to go back.
So this time he stopped, carefully put the pocket he was carrying on the ground to prevent it from making a sound, and then pulled out a grenade and walked forward with a gun in one hand.
More than twenty meters away from the light and shadow in front of him, Huo Xiaoshan stopped and squatted down, he carefully pulled out the pin on the grenade, held the grenade in his hand, and then listened attentively.
There was still a sound from the depths of the cave, like someone banging on the stone wall and like Japanese soldiers running over the stone face, but there was no sound in the distance.
Huo Xiaoshan waited for a while and saw that there was still no movement but still did not step forward, he suddenly said something in Japanese, he said "Long live His Majesty the Emperor".
He didn't say it loudly, but the cave really had the effect of a natural amplifier, and his voice seemed to be a little louder and produced an echo that would only be produced when shouting in the valley, which surprised Huo Xiaoshan.
Huo Xiaoshan waited for a while to see that there was no movement on the other side, but just as he was about to walk from the darkness to the bright place, he heard a Japanese sentence from the other side, which also said, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor"
In the dark, Huo Xiaoshan sneered silently, but he deliberately coughed loudly, and in the sound of his coughing, he had already knocked the small copper cap of the grenade on the stone wall for two seconds before throwing it to the opposite side with a "whoosh".
This hole is about one person high, in order to prevent the grenade from flying parabolically and hitting the top of the hole, Huo Xiaoshan threw the grenade very straight like a bullet flying straight out!
