There was no rest for nearly three hours of rapid marching, and in addition to the anti-union fighters who could support the transferred team, those old and young masters were exhausted, not to mention that they were still moving in the dark night, which was also to avoid the Japanese reconnaissance planes from discovering that the transferred people were carrying heavy belongings, pots and pans, and driving livestock to march slowly.

It's no wonder that these people can't support their physical strength. After all, these are untrained ordinary people, how can they compare to the soldiers who have undergone strict training, the commander of the fifth company, Nie Deshui, looked at the tired people lying on the ground, and after taking care of the weak among the people, he personally took the soldiers of the fifth company who still had energy to set up a guard post. And with the mines that they carried with them, small minefields were laid out around them.

The guard was arranged, and Nie Deshui did not rest. Instead, he came to a slightly higher place than the surroundings, held a telescope and followed the morning light to carefully observe the surrounding situation. Although he was also tired.

In fact, Nie Deshui, who has been rushing to the front line, can be said to be the most tired of these people, whether it is mental or physical, Nie Deshui has reached the peak at this time. If there is a little possibility, Nie Deshui doesn't want to do anything now, he just wants to lie on the ground and sleep.

At present, this kind of long-distance march after midnight is nothing for the anti-United Nations fighters who have been specially trained for long-distance travel, and can even be called commonplace. However, for the soldiers who moved the masses for three consecutive days, they could not stand even the iron beating, but in order to clear the field before the Japanese army swept away, and at the same time prevent the Japanese army, which had not found the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, from aiming their angry eyes at the common people. For the safety of the people, even if they were physically and mentally exhausted, the soldiers completed the tasks assigned by their superiors without regrets, but fortunately, this time it was the last batch.

But the grim truth is clear to Nie Deshui. No matter how tired you are, you can only persevere. It's far from safe now. Not the time to rest. Needless to say, if he was negligent, he would be killed or injured by the people, and his sin would be great.

Nie Deshui, who was immersed in thought, was interrupted by a kettle handed over. After taking over the instructor Li Desheng of the Fifth Company who handed over the kettle, Nie Deshui shook his head and refused, only to find that his throat was already smoking.

Looking at Nie Deshui, who took the kettle and drank it in a big gulp, Li Desheng said, "Old Nie, you should also rest for a while." No matter how good your physique is. But I can't stand such a toss. You haven't rested at all since yesterday. ”

Regarding the instructor's concern, Nie Deshui shook his head and said, "Lao Li, I also want to rest." But you know, our march is too slow now, we have only walked less than twenty kilometers in one night, and it will take a long way to reach safety, and the little devils on the other side of the river have already attacked. Just now, the soldiers of the sixth platoon came over to report that there was a devil sweeping force behind us, and now under the leadership of Zhou Xing, they are fighting with them, I estimate that they are more than lucky, and now we are not only familiar with the terrain. The rest is simply a black eye, not very clear about whether there are still devils around, and whether the pursuers of the devils behind them set off. How far away we are, it's not clear. How do you let me rest in peace? If only these hundreds of people had been captured by the devils because of my negligence. Then I can't afford to die ten times. ”

Speaking of this, Nie Deshui nodded to the map and said, "Lao Li." You see that our current position is particularly unfavorable for us, we are about to climb over this mountain now, and the other side of the mountain is all plains, and there is no danger to defend at all, and once the devils send out cavalry, then we will be in danger. ”

"Secondly, the current team is very tired and needs to rest, but after a night of marching, their physical fitness cannot be compared with our soldiers, and the physical strength of the fellow villagers has dropped to the extreme. If you don't have a good rest, it will be impossible to march, let alone walk, even if you are tired, the people will be tired to death, once the Japanese pursuit troops arrive, it will be a lamb to the slaughter for us now. ”

"Lao Nie, don't worry, although the sudden attack of the little devils has made us a little unprepared, but I think they should be looking for the main force and attacking Tangyuan County now, and they have no experience in taking care of us at all, besides, haven't you already sent someone to contact the regiment commander to ask for the troops?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Nie Deshui sighed, slowly leaned against a tree, and slowly closed his eyes to rest.

"Why did Uncle Yang's uncles arrange to transfer at night instead of leaving during the day? At night, it was pitch black and I couldn't see the road under my feet, and I didn't let me light the torches, and I fell down several times along the way, and my feet and necks were swollen. A teenager of twelve or thirteen years old said as he sat in the woods and rubbed his feet.

"The three babies march safely at night, you don't know, these recent times, the little devil's plane is crazy to scout above our heads every day, once we move during the day, we will definitely be seen by the little devil's plane, and then the little devil's troops will not know where we are, and will send bombers to bomb us."

"The little devil's plane is really hateful, when I grow up, I will also participate in the Anti-Japanese Federation, fight the little devil, and specialize in the little devil's plane."

"Okay, Sanwazi, if you want to participate in the Anti-Japanese Federation, you have to have a strong physique, now your task is to have a good rest, don't wait for the noise and tiredness when you set off!"

"Why, my foot and neck are crooked." The boy blushed and said

Iwata Fumizo, with the rank of Junior Zo, was the runner-up in equestrian during the military academy, and is currently the leader of the search team directly under the 25th Division. He was looking ahead with a telescope, the war horse under his crotch was leaning his neck and barking rhythmically, and his front hooves were gently digging the earth, looking a little impatient. Iwata stroked the mane of the war horse and smiled, "Hey! Don't be in a hurry, man! ”

As he spoke, one of the scout cavalrymen came running briskly, dismounted and reported, "Your Excellency, pass through a clearing in this woods. There was a group of Shina men who were resting, as if they didn't know we were coming. ”

Iwata bowed his head and said, "Yo Xi! Let's go and surprise the people of China! ”

The search party rushed forward along the official road, and when they were about to rush out of the forest, they even saw that many of them were still asleep, and some of them were looking at them with frightened expressions with their confused eyes open.

Iwata was excited, pulled out his sword and howled, "Kill it!" ”

The soldiers also cheered, then raised their sabers and shouted in unison: "Load! ”

Fifty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters...... Finally rushed to the edge of the woods. But the cavalry rushing in front were all stupid, only listening to the sound of "boom", the cavalry running in front of the people and horses were blown up in a blur, and the cavalry behind them hurriedly tightened the reins, so that the speed of the war horses involuntarily dropped. The cavalry behind didn't know the situation and were still charging at high speed, but they couldn't hold back and collided with the war horses in front of them. Many cavalry and war horses were knocked down, and there was chaos for a while.

The people who were still sleeping suddenly rushed to hear that the earth was shaking, and some of them who were sleeping lightly opened their eyes and saw the Japanese cavalry less than fifty meters away from them, and they were suddenly frightened, and Nie Deshui, who was tense even when he was sleeping, stood up at once and said to the Japanese cavalry, "Bang!" "Three shots were fired, and suddenly three gunshots were heard, and the sleeping anti-United Nations fighters knew that it was the enemy who had come up. The anti-United Nations march stipulates that one gunshot is a platoon (misfire), two gunshots are a strat, and three gunshots are a battle. The comrades immediately got up from the ground, pointed their guns at the Japanese cavalry, and pulled the trigger, while Nie Deshui turned to Li Desheng and shouted: "Lao Li, I will lead people to drag them here, you quickly take the villagers to transfer."
