Li Yong lost the vigor he had when he set off, and he stood on a high post to watch the sunset with a tired and sad face.

At first, he led a company of puppet troops to the west to pursue the eight roads that disturbed the team, but unfortunately in this vast mountain, the legs and feet of these wine bags and rice bags under his command could not be compared with the other party at all, and after turning over a few beams, they lost their target tracks.

Later, according to Li Youde's deployment, he led the team to change to the north to pursue the main force. After a while, those eight roads really followed again, and the plan to lead astray was successful, and the main force that changed to the northeast would no longer be harassed.

However, the eight-way men became more and more brazen, and began to blatantly keep their tailgating, and they followed the group a mile behind, and when the terrain was suitable, they would accelerate their pursuit, and shoot at a distance of three hundred or four hundred meters.

With the whole company to turn around and fight, they broke away like rabbits, tossed down several times, the road did not go far, and most of their strength was wasted.

Later, they fired back on the spot, they fired, and the puppet army turned around and shot, bullet to bullet, and many people and guns scared you to death. After a few times, Li Yong couldn't stand it, the opponent was covered with three or eight big covers, the range accuracy was all crushed, six or seven rounds in a dozen shots, the target was few and obscene, the cost of his own return fire was too great, more than a thousand rounds of bullets were gone, not to mention that he didn't fight in an eight-way, and he was injured several on his side, and he died!

Later, Li Yong had to use his brains to let the platoon walking in front find a place to quietly hide and set up an ambush, and he continued to walk north with two platoons in a fake appearance. It's a pity that for some reason, those eight-way roads didn't chase after them anymore and disappeared! After some time, they actually came out of the front, and at a distance of about 200 meters, seven rifles fired rapidly, and several of them lay down on the spot, and beat a platoon that was walking in front.

Li Yong didn't understand, did they have clairvoyance? Can they still count how many people are walking in the team from such a distance? Li Yong, who is not a professional soldier, has not prepared a telescope himself, so how can he think that six or seven earth and eight roads have telescopes in their hands.

So now, Li Yong simply didn't leave! The whole company found a high position with a wide field of vision, set up the only light machine gun in the team, and took a watch and rest! What kind of road is this? This is a pack of wolves! If we continue to herd sheep like this, the team will be dragged down sooner or later. This is caused by differences in weapons, differences in combat experience, differences in tactical literacy, and terrain and environment.

So now, Li Yong is watching the sunset, looking forward to the dark. As long as the sun sets and there is no light, the eight roads will no longer be able to toss, and the advantage of more people and more guns will be reflected. Do you dare to follow any closer?

......

Liu Jianqiang leaned his neck and poured a few mouthfuls of water, and his dirty and cracked lips finally returned to their moist and bloody color: "How long are they going to stay on that mountain?"

Ma Liang pressed the bullet bridge clip into the magazine magazine, and reset the bolt with a bang: "They are not stupid, they have made it clear that they have to stay up in the dark!"

This style of play made Chen Chong feel very excited, and he now felt that he was very tall: "The seven of us are running with a company of puppet soldiers, this feels good!"

"This is normal!" Hu Yi, who was standing in the wind with a telescope held high, said in a light tone: "The devil ran with us like this at the beginning, but the devil still carried a machine gun, and we ran faster and more panicked, and we didn't even have the courage to stop." ”

Ma Liang was stunned: "Then we are the same as devils now?"

Liu Jianqiang was immediately indignant: "Do you want to be a devil?"

"Why are you so tired of talking to you? I'm just a comparison, can I be a Chinese devil?"

"A devil is a devil! I'll stab one when I see one!"

The telescope was put down, Hu Yi put it in a leather box, took out the map and opened it, knelt down with a frown, looked down at the map and asked, "Chen Chong, if you lead the team to the north, will you take the current route?"

Ma Liang and Liu Jianqiang stopped arguing and hurried to the edge of the map to look.

Chen Chong's answer didn't even hesitate: "No." ”

"Why?"

"This mountain is too barren, I can't drink a sip of water for dozens of miles, if it's just for the sake of hurrying, I'd rather go around a little to the east, and I can rest comfortably in Kushui Creek. ”

Hu Yi's finger slid eastward on the map, stopping at one place, Kushui Creek, but it seemed that the map was not fully drawn, and the line marking the stream was only a short stretch.

Ma Liang said with a sigh of thought: "Why do I see that there is a problem with this map?

Chen Chong leaned over and took a look: "That's right." I mean, the map is right, the Bitter Water Creek is that short. ”

Even Hu Yi raised his head to look at Chen Chong, the people of Jiulian had never been to Kushui Creek, and they really wanted to hear what the reason was.

Chen Chong continued: "Upstream is the eye spring, which flows seven miles to the east and joins into a small pool. ”

"It's only seven miles long?"

"Well, it's seven miles long. That small waterhole has been like that for many years, no matter how big the water is, it will not rise, and no matter how dry the weather is, it will not fall. The old man said that it was a bitter eye, leading to the Nai He Bridge, and the water could wash away the souls of the living, and they could never be found back, so it was called the Bitter Water Stream. ”

Ma Liang was curious again: "Can you wash away the souls of the living?

"It's not big, it's not urgent, the water is shallow, it's not up to your knees. ”

Hu Yi's gaze fell on the map again: "Li Youde ran away!"

"Hmmm, brother, you mean he...... Went to Bitter Water Creek?"

"Yes, he went to Bitter Water Creek! and...... He's probably stationed there waiting, and he has no other way to find the advance team!"

"I said, why don't you see those three companies until now, these bastards in front of the relationship are hanging us around!"

Hu Yi immediately began to fold the map: "Now change to the east, go to Kushui Creek, and set off immediately." Maybe we'll see Li Youde again before dawn. ”

The seven dusty Eighth Route Army soldiers stood up again, gathered their equipment and guns on their shoulders.

Chen Chong became the leader of the team and ran out to the east first, Ma Liang second, then Liu Jianqiang, and then three fourth-class soldiers.

Hu Yi tugged at the strap on his shoulder, stood on this high slope and looked east, the sky had already transitioned into darkness on the distant horizon, and the mountain line was blurred, indicating the distant blackness and the night that was close at hand.

Looking to the north, all the mountains are half golden and half dark, and the gloomy and cold are distinctly and incongruously spliced, just like the combination of the word 'desolate'.

Turning to the west, half of the blinding light without temperature had fallen, and the cloudless western sky was no longer far blue.

The sunset illuminates the resolute lines of the bronzed and accentuates the black eyebrows under the curled brim.

Hu Yi suddenly felt that something was missing, he thought quietly, and then realized that the wind had stopped, and he didn't know when it stopped.

If there is no wind, it won't be too cold tonight!
