Hu Yi looked resolute, and waved his hand impatiently at Wu Shishi, who was carrying a sapper shovel: "Bury him!"

In a long shallow pit, Luo Fugui was half-sitting dumbfounded, his Czech light machine gun was placed next to him in the pit like a burial utensil, and the grass ball stuffed the muzzle: "Wait, wait! Boss Hu, I don't think I can do it!"

"Then you come out, you bury me!"

"Why isn't it me if it's not you?

"Didn't you also say that there are only two good machine guns, and I don't worry about others. Bayi Middle School? (1) (8) ?.(8) 8 (1) 1 (1)"

"I am...... Can...... There is a one in Wanli, what should I do when the machine gun gets stuck?"

Hu Yi nodded expressionlessly: "It's reasonable to be worried." Turning back to Ma Liang: "Bury another Tang dog." Then look at Luo Fugui: "Is there any more questions?"

"I'm still ...... Maybe the devil is so close to me? I can't use the machine gun. I think ......"

"This is also a chance. Hu Yi waved his hand at Ma Liang again: "Bury Wang Xiaosan again." ”

"Boss Hu, the problem is not this, if the big horse's hooves step on me, I am not ......"

As an audience, Qin You couldn't listen to it anymore, and lowered his face towards Luo Fugui in the pit: "Is it over? Do you want to bury the whole company with you? Come on, come out, bury me first!"

Luo Fugui was finally helpless, and Wu Shishi began to move the shovel with all his might, burying Luo Fugui shallowly, leaving his nose and mouth, and covering it with broken grass.

Looking at this obviously incongruous piece of ground, Qin You asked Hu Yi: "Do you want to deal with it more carefully?" This is a bit conspicuous. ”

The cavalry scouts are very cautious, and even now they will think that this is a trick or trap we left behind, so the last worry of the mules is unnecessary, and the scouts will only bypass it, and will not take the initiative to find trouble. ”

"This idea was come up with by Gao Yidao?"

"Yes. Hu Yi turned around: "The rest is over!" ”

Looking at his back and Zhongzheng rifle walking in the barren green, Qin You sighed in a low voice: "You-"

In the northwest, nearly two miles away, behind a small slope with very gentle undulations, a devil stood on the ground holding the reins and put the two war horses side by side close together; the other devil stepped on a saddle with each foot, stood high on horseback, and held a telescope facing southeast; more than ten meters away, another devil rode a war horse and carried four or four carbines upside down with one hand, looking at the scenery boredly.

It was obviously supposed to be a four-man reconnaissance team, but now, one of the horsemen had left.

......

Before sunset, the thickening oblique clouds caused the western sky to be blood-red, and the sky had become a large patch of floating gray like scales, rarely blue.

A dozen fast horses were galloping in the faded wilderness in the sunset, the wind was as arrogant as the wind, and it was the captain of the devil's cavalry who rode forward, and the horses ran towards the southeast, and he kept looking at the afterglow of the west, not knowing if there was night rain, and I didn't know who this rain was more detrimental to.

On the southeast horizon, a little black shadow gradually appeared, and as the distance approached, it gradually became clear, it was a dozen war horses resting, and there were more than a dozen devil cavalry nearby resting in the grass tiredly.

Seeing the cavalry captain who stopped his horse jumping out of the saddle, a cavalry lieutenant immediately met him: "Thirteen groups have appeared on them." Looking at the trail, they should have turned due south from here, and I just sent a new group to follow the trail south. ”

The captain was stunned: "Isn't there a further position return from the thirteenth group?"

"This ...... You can go over there and have a look. ”

A minute later, the cavalry captain stopped beside a horse corpse, this unfortunate horse had been shot at least seven or eight times, and there was another horse corpse nearby, as well as the corpses of two cavalry scouts;

Seeing that the lieutenant stared at the horse corpse and did not speak, the lieutenant reminded: "Judging by the time, they are within ten kilometers to the south!" and then stared at the lieutenant and waited for the answer, and continued to wait for the cavalry groups to converge or immediately start chasing?

Unexpectedly, this group of eight roads survived another day! The cavalry captain raised his eyes to look south, and the distant sky had darkened, and perhaps after half an hour, he would not be able to see how far it was.

He unfolded the map again, compared and compared, and measured and measured: "They will definitely pass through the Meixian Highway tonight, and this is the most beneficial choice for them! Immediately send people to the county seat of Meixian County to report the latest location and movement of the Eighth Road, and readjust the deployment." The range should be...... The southeast fan-shaped area of Meixian County is bounded by the highway to the east of Meixian County and the road from Meixian County to Xinglong Town to the west. By tomorrow morning, the Eighth Road must be within this range, and the radius will not be large! In addition, we will contact our two co-camps and ask them to continue south until the Meixian Highway, and then temporarily return to the Meixian Patrol for dispatch. ”

The second lieutenant had no choice but to ask, "...... Do you want to chase it again, we can catch up!"

"What can you do if you catch up? Do you think they can't run fast enough? Whip them without pain and give them new motivation? Kogoro, calm down, the goal of the cavalry is time, not the enemy. Think about it, how long have they been on the march? Do you think tomorrow they will be able to maneuver in the same way as they are today? Tomorrow, we will definitely see them again, maybe tomorrow at noon. Tomorrow will be much easier than today!"

"What if they turn east tonight and flee further?"

"That's a good question! That would make the hunt longer. I am more inclined to think that they will turn westward and appear tomorrow morning on the north-south line from the county seat of Meixian to Xinglong Town. Kogoro, not all people who are running away will panic, I can bet with you this time!"

At this moment, the cavalry captain's war horse was snorting not far away, and the straight-line distance between it and Hu Yi's Zhongzheng rifle that was bumped behind his shoulder was 7,651 meters.

......

In the early hours of the morning, the sky was so dark that there was not only no moon, but also not a single star, all covered by clouds, and I didn't know the time.

A few miles east of Xinglong, the barracks that had once been turned into a makeshift concentration camp are still barracks.

Although the barracks were restored, there were few old people, and they were either transferred or arrested, and the recruit training camp had just ended.

The new battalion commander was loudly announcing the telephone order he had just received: The Eighth Route had fled into the southeast of Meixian County last night, and the garrison of Xinglong Town should cooperate with the blockade operation and establish a blockade line along the road with friendly troops heading south from Meixian.

After some bold remarks, the horses at the gate of the barracks were lifted, and the team rumbled out with torches, yawning for a long time, still languishing.

When the team was exhausted, the two puppet soldiers guarding the gate blocked the horses again, and returned to the dim lantern at the root of the gate wall, holding their rifles and sitting against the wall.

One said: "Are you mentally ill? How can there be so many eight paths? It seems that the eight paths are everywhere! I can't stop sleeping." Hey, don't you say?"

The other buckled his hat and didn't bother to take care of it, and continued to sleep under the wall.

I don't know how long it was, maybe just before dawn, but there seemed to be footsteps on the road outside the gate. The puppet soldier who spoke earlier yawned and pricked up his ears, stood up with his rifle on his hand, and probed out of the gate from the wooden fence: "Who is it?"

"I'm looking for someone. A figure was already close, approaching the faint light of the gate, stopped cautiously, and spread his arms to the sides, signaling that he was not dangerous.

The puppet soldier still pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the person through the horse: "Don't talk nonsense! Are you a ghost or a human? Do you hear if you stand closer?"

The person who came had to take two more steps closer, and stood outside the horse, the horse lamp next to the door could already illuminate his whole body, and he was choked with dust, and the puppet army frowned: "I see you wearing this like a suit?"

"I don't even know what I'm wearing, I picked it up anyway. I'm really here to find someone, I'm in a hurry! Excuse me, help me call Mancang out. ”

"I said do you know what this place is......?

The puppet soldier didn't finish his words with the muzzle of the gun, and the sleeping man with his hat next to him suddenly jumped up, flashed out of the wooden fence and looked at people, and his eyes almost fell to the ground: "Brother Ma Liang?"

The person who came smiled tiredly outside the rejection: "Mancang, don't come unharmed?"

The muzzle of the gun was finally put down by the puppet army, and the feelings are really true!

Seeing the person who came from the horse, he asked Mancang: "How many people are left in your barracks now?"

"Nineteen. ”

"Full Sentinel?"

"After the battalion commander went out, it was estimated that there would be only four corner posts left. ”

"Is there a way to solve the problem without firing the gun?"

Man Cang subconsciously looked back at the barracks: "This...... There is a way. How many people do you have?"

"More than two hundred, I really can't walk, there is nowhere to stop, and I have to stay. ”

The puppet army next to him was already dumbfounded, and only then did he barely pick up his chin: "Wait a while......! He...... It's ......"

Man Cang turned his head to look at his colleague and said ashamedly: "He is the eighth way." I also...... It's eight ways. ”

The person who refused to come from the horse also turned his eyes to look at the puppet army: "Be quiet! Don't make a blind gesture with the muzzle of the gun, lest someone behind me go off!"

......
