Chapter 24: Between Life and Death
The sky is blue, the sun is shining, warm, shining on the body is warm, lazy, comfortable, and it is undoubtedly a very pleasant and happy thing to be able to bask in the sun in winter.
It's a pity that Liu Changfeng and his party are not in the mood to bask in the sun at all, they are fleeing for their lives, for them, it is the same whether there is sun or not now.
Liu Changfeng carried a military backpack and a 38 big cover on his back, and held a Type 88 sniper rifle in his arms, although he had slowed down the speed, it still made several girls complain, they almost had to trot to keep up with Liu Changfeng's pace, all of them were panting and pale, Li Rong was a little better, Chu Ning'er and the tall girl couldn't hold on, which could be seen from their terrifying wheezing and staggering steps.
"Big brother, let's take a break, I can't do it." The tall girl's gasps were thick and rapid, and her left hand was on her waist.
"Beauty, let's go to the grove in front of us and rest again, and drink some water by the way, the terrain here is flat and the view is wide, if the Japanese come, they can find us from a distance, it will be bad." Liu Changfeng said coaxing and deception.
"Big brother, don't call me a beauty, it's embarrassing, you call me by my name, my name is Su Wenwen." The tall girl said, her face flushing slightly.
Liu Changfeng then remembered that beauty was the general term for women in his previous life, whether they were beautiful or not, they were all called beauty, but this title was obviously not suitable for the Chinese of this era, smiled bitterly, kept walking, and said: "Okay, I call you Wenwen, you don't mind, right?"
"Whatever you want." Su Wenwen and Liu Changfeng were talking, and unconsciously, they didn't seem to be as uncomfortable as just now, and their steps were brisker.
"Your name is Chu Ning'er, are you tired? Why don't you give me the gun? I'll take it for you. Liu Changfeng began to cheer Chu Ning'er again.
"Thank you, big brother, I'm not tired, I can hold on." Chu Ning'er said gratefully, she knew what Liu Changfeng meant, and felt as if a force was surging up from the bottom of her heart.
Li Rong saw Liu Changfeng's gaze and knew what he meant, so without waiting for him to speak, she exerted force under her feet and ran in front of Liu Changfeng at once.
Liu Changfeng smiled slightly, Li Rong, this girl is very competitive and has good talent, and in time, she will definitely do something.
Suddenly, Liu Changfeng listened attentively, his face changed slightly, his expression was anxious and serious, and he shouted: "Everyone hurry up and run to the woods, hurry up."
The girls didn't know why Liu Changfeng was so serious, but presumably the matter was very serious, so they followed Liu Changfeng and ran lifelessly, fortunately, the woods were not far away from them, and they arrived soon, and as soon as everyone ran into the woods, there was the whistling sound of an airplane.
The plane flew very low, just over everyone, and the powerful whistling sound made everyone's ears extremely unconvinced, Liu Changfeng sneered: "The Japanese devils really look up to us, and even the plane has been dispatched."
Liu Changfeng's voice did not fall, and the whistling sound of the plane came from the left and right directions, Liu Changfeng secretly complained, the Japanese have a high density of aircraft reconnaissance in the sky, and there are a large number of Japanese soldiers on the ground searching, what a big stroke, this time the fun is great, if he is not mistaken, the Yangtze River should also be the focus of the Japanese prevention, and he really has nowhere to escape this time.
Liu Changfeng raised the sniper rifle, observed through the optical sight, his face became more and more solemn, in the direction of Nanjing City, a thousand meters away, the Japanese opened a large net, dense, countless Japanese soldiers were slowly searching forward, they used the most effective stupid method, there was a soldier at a distance of three or five meters, where they passed, there were no dead ends, there were Japanese soldiers all over the mountains, I am afraid that there would not be tens of thousands of people.
Although the Japanese search speed is not too fast, sooner or later they will search here, staying here is undoubtedly waiting for death, continue to run forward, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide the Japanese plane in the sky, let's fight, Liu Changfeng gritted his teeth, made a decision, so he said to everyone: "Everyone move, break some branches and weeds, we must do some camouflage and continue to move forward."
Although the girls didn't understand the use of asking for these things, they did it one by one, and they all did it one by one, and after a while, they picked a lot of them.
"We tie these things to our bodies and heads, and when the Japanese planes fly, everyone quickly lies on the ground and does not move, they will not notice us, do you understand?" Liu Changfeng said solemnly.
"Understood, big brother." The girls replied.
Liu Changfeng personally disguised everyone, and quickly did it, and then disguised himself as well, waving his hand: "Let's go."
As soon as they got out of the woods, they heard the whistling sound of the Japanese plane from a distance, and the girls' faces changed color, and without waiting for Liu Changfeng to speak, they all lay down and lay on the ground, although the posture was indecent, but they successfully deceived the Japanese pilot.
Liu Changfeng was the first to get up, gave the girls a thumbs up, and then continued to walk forward. Although Liu Changfeng was just an inadvertent action, it encouraged the girls, and their courage suddenly gave birth to a trace of self-confidence for no reason.
After evading the detection of the Japanese planes several times, the planes have not been seen for some time, what happened? Liu Changfeng secretly wondered.
"Look, what's that?" Li Rong's eyes were sharp, pointing to the sky in the distance, there were many objects in the sky in the distance slowly drifting closer, dotted with stars, and when they got closer, everyone could see clearly, a long round monster was floating in the sky, and there was a box hanging below.
"Hot air balloons." Liu Changfeng cried out in surprise, the girls didn't recognize it, how could Liu Changfeng not recognize it? This is a kind of reconnaissance balloon, this kind of hot air balloon itself does not carry any attacking weapons, but through high-altitude reconnaissance, find the target, and use radio walkie-talkies or radio stations to transmit information to the ground, so as to carry out precision strikes. During this period, the Japanese used hot air balloons to carry out precision strikes against the Chinese army, and the Kuomintang army suffered no less, and its own artillery groups or other important facilities were often inexplicably attacked by the Japanese army.
Liu Changfeng deeply understands the horror of hot air balloons, and the speed of hot air balloons floating is slow, and he can clearly see the situation on the ground, which is much more terrifying than airplanes.
Liu Changfeng's forehead was already oozing cold sweat, the terrain here was flat, and there was no way to avoid it, he gritted his teeth and said; "Follow my example and run to the grass in front of you."
The girls followed Liu Changfeng's example, bent their waists, and quickly ran into a barren grass. The barren grass is bleak, waist-length, and slowly swaying in the slight northeast wind.
Looking at the hot air balloon getting closer and closer, dotted with stars, you can already see the Japanese soldiers in the hanging basket, between life and death, everyone is lying on the ground, not daring to move, resigned to fate.
