Takeuchi stood on the hillside where their 55th Division attacked for five days and five nights, paid the price of at least 5,000 soldiers, and finally occupied, looking at the corpse and their emperor [***] team who continued to fight fiercely until the last drop of blood in his body was shed, and then died with a smile.

There were craters of shells and bombshells everywhere, and the trenches that had been dug in advance had already been blown into ruins, and the lips of each corpse were chapped to white skin because of the excessive heat and lack of water, and there were hardly any heavy weapons to be found in their positions.

It was such an army with various numbers on its uniforms, without heavy weapons, on a position without strong fortifications, under the bombardment of aircraft, platoon artillery bombardment, thirst and heat, and more than 20,000 soldiers of their 55th Division fought for five days and five nights! With the end of almost total annihilation, the 55th Division paid the same heavy price!

Looking at Sun Shangxiang and the doctor who fell in the trench, obviously committing suicide with a gun, but with a calm and happy smile, Takeuchi was silent again.

"He's not dead, is he? The commander who is better at attacking than me Takeuchi and defending better than Dai Anlan is not dead, is he? It is because he is still alive that your death has value, and your hope has sustenance, that you can laugh so happily and die so peacefully, right? ”

In muttering to himself, Takeuchi Kuan, a professional soldier with eyes above the top, took off the white gloves in his hand, and then slowly, slowly, in front of these two middle [***] people who had given him too much shock, he gave the most serious and respectful military salute of an enemy.

"You've succeeded, me, Takeuchi Kan...... Lost! ”

Takeuchi really didn't know, it turned out that he would admit defeat, and he didn't know that he actually conceded defeat in front of the corpses of two enemies who had already died in battle. Takeuchi really thought that he would never bow his head to the enemy in his life, but at this time, he bowed his always proud head to two enemies who didn't even know their names, but would always remain in the deepest part of his memory.

"Bury them all, on this hillside, on the position they are desperately defending!"

Listening to the order of the commander of the Takeuchi wide division, several subordinates looked at each other, usually at this time, it is always Takahashi Shinoha to speak, although the official position is not high, but the vision is more profound Takahashi Shinosa, has been killed, his body at this time, has been carefully carried to the stand composed of a large pile of branches, just waiting for Takeuchi Kuan to personally sing for this subordinate and friends their soldiers' funeral songs, in the flames rising, the heroic soul of the best soldier of the empire, sent back to their motherland.

In the end, a wing commander said cautiously: "But Your Excellency, Division Commander, the task we have received is to pursue the main force of the Fifth Army of the Zhina, especially to eliminate Dai Anlan's 200th Division!" ”

"Task? Pursuit? Exterminate? ”

Takeuchi repeated the two words in a strange voice. He glanced back at the wing commander, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse of the [***] person who was being carefully sorted together, and said, "Look at these [***] people, do you think that our 55th Division can continue to pursue at this time?" More than 4,000 such soldiers, we can break through their defensive positions, we can destroy them, but if we are facing tens of thousands of such soldiers, facing tens of thousands of brave warriors who are not afraid of death, can you guarantee to destroy them? ”

"Can you, can you, or can you?"

Listening to what the commander of the Takeuchi Wide Division said, every wing commander and every officer bowed their heads. In the face of such a battlefield that has been blown up by shells and bombshells I don't know how many times, facing the corpses of the [***] people in front of them, looking at their lips bursting because of thirst, these emperors [***] people really have nothing to say.

Takeuchi pulled out his command knife, and under the cautious gaze of all his subordinates, he strode to a rock more than a man high. On this battlefield, which has been covered by artillery fire several times, this huge rock that is more than a man high, although it is full of bullet marks and stained with traces of gunsmoke, but it has not been directly hit by artillery shells, and it still stands tenaciously between the ruins, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.

It was with his own command knife that Takeuchi carved three big Chinese characters on this huge rock, leaving his eternal respect and naming for this hillside that only has an elevation on the map and no name: Heroic Soul Ridge!

That's right, although this place is completely covered by artillery fire, stained with the blood of martyrs and heroes, but sooner or later, the lush verdant will once again cover this world, in the green sea, when the sun is sprinkled again, raising the brilliance of green and light, these expeditions to foreign lands and horse leather shrouds, worthy of the name of soldiers, will occasionally open their eyes and look at the beautiful world around them again, right?

It was in front of this Heroic Soul Ridge, which finally had its own name and dignity, that Takeuchi Kankazu, who had once again suffered heavy losses, finally stopped attacking.

Just when the whole army was returning to the division, Takeuchi turned his head and looked at the stele that was not a stele again with complicated eyes. "Chinese, are they really the sick men of East Asia? Can we really conquer such a people, and can we really trample them under our feet? If one day, they suddenly wake up, how can we face a nation's sudden outbreak of counterattack after a long period of oppression? ”

These questions, Takeuchi Kuan didn't know, he really didn't know.

And at this time, Lei Zhen fell asleep. After waking up, he didn't say a word at first, and then suddenly cried so much that the tears that flowed from his eyes soaked half of Ma Lan's military uniform.

Ma Lan really didn't know that a man, especially a man like Lei Zhen, who was so strong that he seemed to be invulnerable, such a man who was as brave as a beast and was more accustomed to being injured, would cry like this, and there would be so many tears.

Looking at Lei Zhen, who was finally tired of crying, crying, lying in his arms like a child, falling into a deep sleep, looking at his eyebrows even if he was asleep, but still frowning tightly, when Lei Zhen subconsciously reached out and hugged her waist tightly, pillowed her head on her chest, in order to get more warmth and security, kept twisting, until he rubbed open the two buttons, put his face directly on the skin on her chest, and felt the heat of each other's bodies, Ma Lan found that their current actions were too intimate, The intimacy has exceeded the bottom line of master and apprentice and comrade-in-arms.

But when Ma Lan stretched out his hand and wanted to push Lei Zhen away, looking at Lei Zhen's tear-stained face, looking at his tightly knit brows, an intelligible sympathy or a woman's unique maternal surname, suddenly hit Ma Lan, making her hand that she had pushed out hard, and finally just gently put it on Lei Zhen's body.

Holding Lei Zhen, listening to him in his sleep, bursts of suppressed moaning, feeling the weakness and childlike helplessness that this man has never exposed, in Ma Lan's heart, there was suddenly a thought that even she didn't know why...... After getting used to seeing strong and brave, and even having developed respect, he suddenly discovered his most vulnerable side, if he insisted on not letting go, probably she would not be able to break free from this man's arm in her life.

Ma Lan really doesn't know that when these absolutely contradictory traits and emotions can really be fused together, it is an absolutely fatal attraction to women.

In order to avoid being injured, Ma Lan carried the thunder on his back alone, marched in the mountains and forests for eight hours in a row, and rushed out of more than 30 kilometers in one go, and now Ma Lan is also tired. Listening to Lei Zhen's sometimes rapid breathing, like treating a child, he subconsciously shook the man in his arms, and I don't know when, Ma Lan also closed his eyes.

I don't know how long I slept, but when Ma Lan Huoran woke up, she suddenly found that now the posture between her and Lei Zhen had evolved into herself pillowed on Lei Zhen's chest, but because she could feel comfortable, her arms, with an action that was absolutely not Sven, hugged Lei Zhen in a big way, so that no matter what, he couldn't escape from his arms.

And the thunderstorm ...... At this time, he was looking at her quietly with a pair of eyes open.

"Thank you, thank you for giving the right order when I lost my mind; Thank you for finding a way to make me cry, now I feel so much better. ”

Crying for too long, Lei Zhen's voice was already hoarse, but that's it, but it made his voice have a more vicissitudes of life, he looked at Ma Lan, who was lying in his arms, and suddenly felt a little helpless, and said softly: "Can I get up now?" ”

Quietly stood up, quietly sorted out his military uniform, quietly checked the weapons and ammunition on his body, and after doing all this, Lei Zhen suddenly said: "How many more people do we have?" ”

"One hundred and seventeen."

"Hmm!" Lei Zhen stretched out his hand and stroked a big tree beside him, he inhaled softly, and after a long, long time, until Ma Lan thought that he would remain silent like this, Lei Zhen suddenly said softly: "I have lost too many brothers here, Master, please help me, so that we can bring back these last one hundred and seventeen people, all intact, and bring them home, okay?" ”

Looking at Lei Zhen standing beside the towering tree, wanting to make a straight figure, listening to his request to himself in such a tone, Ma Lan let out a faint sigh in his heart. She could see that Lei Zhen had grown again, but the price of such growth was too great, right?

"Good!"

The endless mountains, the primeval jungle full of natural death traps, their group of people have no supplies, lack of medicine, and it is definitely a difficult challenge to let them return to their homeland one by one, but Malan nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"But I can't do it alone, I can only be the hand that guides everyone to avoid danger, and they need a soul more, a soul that can radiate a strong and confident light in any situation, so that everyone can follow and fight for it!"

Ma Lan stretched out his hand to Lei Zhen, "So, if you want to complete this task, you have to join forces with the two of us to do it!" ”

Lei Zhen and Ma Lan led the last 117 men and chased after the Fifth Army into the Burmese rainforest, known locally as the "Savage Mountain".

Here, they don't see the sun at all, there is not a day when it doesn't rain, there are puddles under their feet, everywhere they step on it, and without the help of their companions, they can no longer climb out of the swamp on their own, and everywhere there are leeches that bite their legs and will keep sucking blood. And Lei Zhen and they walked along the road of the Fifth Army, and they could see a lot of white bones everywhere, that was because in this tropical rainforest, there were swarms of huge black ants, I don't know how many [***] people, obviously still alive, just because they were too tired, when they slept at night, they were bitten to death by black ants, and they became piles of white bones the next day.

And the Chinese soldiers, who were also tired but were able to reopen their eyes, no longer had the strength to bury the bodies of their comrades.

There are also a considerable number of people, after eating the food they carry, can only pick wild vegetables and wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, because they do not know the plants in the rainforest, they accidentally eat poisonous food, and die on this land.

Along the way, there were corpses everywhere, and there were weapons and ammunition that the soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force could no longer afford to carry, and left on the side of the road. I really don't know how many soldiers of the expeditionary force did not die on the battlefield under heavy artillery fire, but died in this savage mountain that even the indigenous people of Myanmar dare not approach easily. Although it is said that the bones of the loyal cannot be buried, it is estimated from the perspective of time that even if Du Yuming can still lead the Fifth Army back to China through a piece of primeval jungle, more than half of the troops will be lost. At least 20,000 people, Chinese hot-blooded men who died in this primeval jungle, are inevitably ...... It's too much, right?!

Thanks to Arimaran, a veteran expert in field survival, thanks to his son who could run around looking for prey, and thanks to their concerted efforts, they walked in the jungle for more than a month, and no matter how tired they were, they didn't leave a companion behind. They even used the method of lifting their seriously ill partner to walk hundreds of kilometers in this primeval jungle, and walked out of the last life of this partner.

But when everyone reopened their eyes from the silence and stood together to count, Lei Zhen found that there was one less person in their ranks.

This tropical rainforest, known as Savage Mountain by the locals, is naturally due to the existence of primitive tribes in the jungle and mountains. Lei Zhen and the others had also seen a few wild men, lying on the trees and carefully looking at them. These human beings who are out of touch with civilization, in a considerable part of the body, and still have long hair, women are not shy to expose their ** outside, at most they only put a piece of animal skin around their waists.

After a quick examination of the footprints around him, and all possible traces, Malan finally came to the conclusion: "I think this missing brother was probably taken away by the savages at night, when our sentry was asleep due to exhaustion. As for the reasons for his captivity, there are about two. ”

Ma Lan was born in a famous family, and her knowledge and experience were far higher than those of anyone present, including the disciples of the Green Gang, so she could naturally say something. She stretched out a finger and said, "First, food, savages are not civilized, there is no moral constraint that we receive from society, and in their eyes, it is very likely that 'man' is also an edible prey." ”

Hearing this, not to mention Lei Zhen, the faces of everyone present became ugly. At this time, Ma Lan stretched out a second finger and said, "Second, of course, there is the reproduction of the race. We have seen a few wild people, most of them women, which in itself shows that their tribe lacks men who can carry them on to the next generation, and they must find a way to find men, whether forced or voluntary, so that they can give birth to the next generation. In this regard, you don't have to look at them as benevolent, you just need to look at this behavior as an animal's instinct to survive and evolve. ”

Listening to Ma Lan's words, everyone present looked at each other, they really couldn't tell which outcome was more acceptable than what they were forced to do with such a hairy woman**, and being eaten as food.

"Son, can you find a clue?"

In the face of Lei Zhen's inquiry, the son put his nose close to the ground and sniffed and sniffed there, but the rain kept falling and had washed away the smell, and finally the son could only let out a cautious low sound. Although it is a wolf, it is smart enough, of course, it knows that this daddy is in a bad mood now, and is even on the verge of exploding.

Even the king of wolves was so cautious, facing the gloomy face of the big brother, everyone closed their mouths sensibly.

Looking up at the leaves passing through the overhead, the raindrops that kept dripping down, so that the military uniforms on their bodies had not dried from beginning to end, and then looked at everyone's tired faces, Lei Zhen was silent for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Find, live to see people, dead to see corpses!" ”

"If ......" At this time, Luo Sanpao, who had already received the order, couldn't help but speak, "If we find it, that brother is already dead, or even ......"

"If that's really the case," Lei Zhen's gaze slowly swept over the faces of everyone present, and the cold killing intent bloomed on Lei Zhen's body little by little, and he said word by word: "No matter how many people there are on the other side, no one of them will be left!" ”

…… It was for one person, the army led by Lei Zhen stopped in this tropical rainforest, they scattered in a group of five to search, and then returned to the position designated by Lei Zhen regularly. Just for one person, Lei Zhen and them were in the jungle for a whole day, squandering their little remaining physical strength in the bumps and shouting.

It wasn't until the sun they had never touched since they entered the rainforest that it hung to the other end of the horizon, until a black canopy covered the whole land, and in this world full of trees, rain and humidity, suddenly there was a faint light.

In the huge cave that is almost covered by the mountain vines, but naturally forms a screen, several oil lamps made of antelope horns and fueled by animal fat are emitting a little light, barely illuminating the space near them, and as the breeze inevitably blows in through the mountain vines, the flames the size of beans dance with the wind, and they are constantly shaking, adding a sense of oppression to this cave.

More than 100 primitive people, whose ancestors have lived in this worst environment for generations, and who are completely out of touch with social civilization, sit around the fire pit in the center of the hole, and the prey hanging on the fire pit is exuding a tempting aroma of meat under the burning of the fire, and an old woman who looks like a tribal leader is counting the wild fruits and wild vegetables that the women have collected in the jungle during the day, dividing them into more than 100 equal parts, and then sending them to each of them one by one, when everyone has received their wild fruits, in front of this leader, There are also minimum and maximum two servings of food.

As the leader of the primitive tribe, this woman had left herself the least share, and after a slight nod, a woman sitting beside her, who looked to be no more than fourteen years old, held up at least twice as much food as anyone present, and even had a piece of corn in it, and walked to the corner of the cave.

In a corner away from the cave, a man who was sick and hungry, so weak that he had no strength to struggle, lay on a bed made of several animal skins mixed with branches. Looking at this woman who couldn't tell whether she was more like a human or a little more like a half-ape, this man who was still wearing an expeditionary force uniform and a weapon in her hand, but was found all of them, couldn't help but show a look of rejection on her face. Although the smell of meat in the cave, as well as the fruit and corn in the hands of the woman in front of him, made his throat rise involuntarily, but he turned his head sideways and reached out to make a gesture of "you go away for me".

"Brother, why bother."

A man who was also lying in the corner of the wall, bowing his head and munching on wild fruits, spoke, "What's the matter, in other people's territory, the situation is stronger than people, do you think I want to be with those women with mixed hair and hair, and I can't even move a finger by them every night by taking turns squeezing them?" The arms can't twist the thighs, when you get used to it, your eyes are black at night, don't look at their faces, don't touch the hair on their bodies, it's not the same as who is it? ”

This man, who claims to be a passer-by, is a Chinese soldier who passed by here more than ten days ago, and was also taken captive into a cave, saying **, he can finally fucking mix a mouthful of food, and he doesn't have to be starved to death, and he won't be gnawed into a pile of bones by ants.

Looking sideways at the compatriot who was eating wild fruits and at the same time at the woman who was definitely not beautiful beside him, the man who had just been taken captive into the cave for not long showed a deep disdain on his face. As the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, he has followed Lei Zhen for so long, and even an ordinary soldier like him has gradually possessed a temperament like a steel nail that would rather not bend.

But the eyes of the girl standing in front of him with the fruit lit up, although they were out of touch with social civilization, but their biological instincts could make them more clearly distinguish which man or male animal had better qualities, well, or genes, was more suitable for that ...... Copulation!

"You better eat something, you think that if you are like this, they will let you go at night? Do you think that if you refuse, you can wait for someone else to save you? ”

The man who was gnawing on the weeds, with a "phew", spit out a kernel in his mouth, and said, "Don't dream!" ”

"Of course I have to refuse, I am a human, not an animal! Also, they'll come to my rescue! The soldier who had just been taken captive into the cave held his head high and said, "Because my division commander, big brother, is Lei Zhen!" ”

Big brother of the division commander?!

Thunder Quake?!

Listening to such a strange name, looking at this compatriot who was in the same distress as himself, but had never given up hope, the man who was gnawing on the wild fruit in his mouth, and his eyes had already drifted to the barbecue, pouted his lips. Who is Lei Zhen, he doesn't know, he only knows, in this situation, it is a tree falling and scattered, everyone takes care of everyone, how can anyone find this place for a small soldier?

At this time, a mountain wind mixed with damp water vapor suddenly poured into the cave, and when the man shivered involuntarily and shrunk his neck, a tall figure had already cut through the layers of mountain vines outside the cave, and walked into this cave that finally gained some popularity due to the lights.

Almost at the same time, these primitive people, who lived in the primeval rainforest every day, possessed more agility than monkeys, and could use tools, had already picked up their own weapons. I don't know how many bows and arrows, how many javelins, and multi-second sticks, all pointed at this man who should never have appeared.

"Alas, how can there be such a stupid guy, where is it not easy to go, and he actually ran here and threw himself into the net......"

Of course, it was the man who had already known his destiny and obtained food by mating with a group of hairy women every night, but his voice, which was a bit pretentious, suddenly stopped. Because he suddenly found that there were many people, obviously in his own territory, those wild men with long hair all over their bodies, and even the most ferocious beasts dared to fight, whether they were men or women, their hands were trembling slightly.

But the eyes of the soldier who had just been taken captive into the cave lit up, and he struggled to support his body, and shouted loudly: "Brother Commander, I knew that you would definitely come to me!" ”

The hands of the group of wild men did not tremble, because they keenly noticed that the man in front of them, who had just entered the cave, and whose whole body was filled with an aura that was a hundred times stronger and more dangerous than that of a beast, the gloomy coldness on his body, the thing that made their hearts beat wildly, and even their legs weak, suddenly disappeared.

"Xiao Qi, how is it?"

In the face of Lei Zhen's inquiry, the man known as Xiao Qi nodded desperately, "I have no problem, except for being brought over by them and taking all the guys on me, I didn't even drink a sip of their water." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi raised his right hand, and under his wrist, there was a sharp stalagmite hidden, at this time, Xiao Qi was laughing: "If they really want to force me, I will slaughter one, and then directly stab myself to death, this is called early death and early reincarnation!" ”

"Yes, it is worthy of the soldiers led by my thunder shock!"

At this time, Lei Zhen's gaze had already fallen on the few savages standing at the front who seemed to be facing a great enemy, and directly fell on the face of the tribal leader who looked the oldest, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Qi, and said proudly: "I am his division commander, his eldest brother, I don't care if you can understand what I'm talking about, and I don't care what you're thinking, I'm going to take him away!" ”

The clan leader was silent, she watched Lei Zhen pass through everyone as if no one was around, and they all arrived in front of Xiao Qi, she watched Lei Zhen reach out and carry Xiao Qi on her shoulder.

The woman, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, bit her lip and stared at Xiao Qi who was carried by Lei Zhen with an aggrieved look, and finally she mustered up the courage to stop in front of Lei Zhen.

Staring at this woman who was like someone had snatched her beloved toy, Lei Zhen's face was really gloomy, "What else do you want, do you have to kill you all?" ”

The woman who was still holding the wild fruit in her hand, facing Lei Zhen's eyes that were in the dark, more and more dangerous, she was really frightened, although she couldn't understand what the man was saying at all, but the instinct of the creature in the face of danger made her shake her head desperately like a splashing drum, more like an electric shock, and retreated seven or eight steps away.

In this man, she smelled death.

Glancing at everyone present again, Lei Zhen carried Xiao Qi on his back, walked to the other end of the cave again, and then grabbed the weapon belonging to Xiao Qi, when he passed by the fire pit, a woman who was obviously frightened raised the barbecue meat that had just been cut in her hand tremblingly, and carefully sent the barbecue to Lei Zhen in a kneeling position.

"I'm not a robber and won't ask for your things! And you really should be rejoicing, my brother is all right! Lei Zhen slapped Xiao Qi with his backhand, took out a few pieces of wild vegetables from his pocket, and after sending them into Xiao Qi's mouth, he smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, let's go." ”

"Hmm!"

Xiao Qi nodded again and again, and at this time, the man who was still holding half a wild fruit in his hand woke up like a dream, he rushed over and shouted: "Commander Lei Zhen, Brother Lei Zhen, please, take me with you, as long as you take me with me, I will make you a cow and a horse, and I am willing!" ”

Lei Zhen looked at the man who was kneeling in front of him, with tears and snot flowing all over his face, everyone was a compatriot and a soldier, but Lei Zhen was shaking his head, "I see that you are doing well here, the road ahead is too difficult, so let's stay." ”

After saying these words, Lei Zhen no longer paid attention to this poor worm whose face turned pale in an instant, and no longer had any hope, that is, under the careful gaze of all the wild people in the cave, Lei Zhen strode out of this cave. Facing the rain curtain that kept pouring down outside the cave, looking at Ma Lan, who was holding a submachine gun in his hand, even if there was a slight mistake in the cave, he would lead everyone to rush in and kill, Lei Zhen suddenly smiled and said to Xiao Qi: "You were caught in the cave, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

Xiao Qi raised his neck and shouted, "My eldest brother, it's thunder shock!" Damn it up, I'm a fucking bird?! ”

Lei Zhen couldn't help laughing, "Okay, this answer is delicious enough, your senior brother likes it very much!" ”

Listening to Lei Zhen's laughter, looking at Xiao Qi, who was lying on Lei Zhen's shoulder and still chattering about a few pieces of wild vegetables in his mouth, everyone present laughed. In the midst of laughter and boiling, Lei Zhen waved his hand fiercely and shouted: "It's still the same old saying, connecting me and Ma Lan, there are a total of one hundred and nineteen people, and no one is missing, even if it is climbing, I have to crawl home alive!" Otherwise, I am not qualified to be your senior brother, who of you has to give your life here, and I am not qualified to be my brother of Lei Zhen! Do you understand?! ”

Everyone was laughing, everyone straightened their necks and shouted, "Yes, understood, big brother teacher!" ”

Although they are still tired, although they are still hungry and weak, and their eyes are green, at this time, no one is more confident than them that they can use their legs to conquer this tropical rainforest and return to their homeland. Because their eldest brother is thunder shock!

(To be continued)
