The short road was very rugged and not suitable for horseback riding, so Zhao Gangbing divided into two roads, some of them rode horses and guns and continued to march along the road, and the other part was led by guides to copy the path.

Miss Ji turned over and dismounted, checked her equipment and followed Zhao Gang up, walked a few steps and glanced back at Dong Jinbao, "Dabao, hurry up, keep up!" ”

"Hmm!" Dong Jinbao answered, took off a large backpack from the horse, put it on his back, and then followed.

Regarding Miss Ji, Zhao Gang did not stop it, as an acquaintance, he naturally knew that this eldest lady had the ability to stalk, and she had also participated in training in the independent regiment, this kind of mountain road was nothing to her.

The guide at the front of the team, surnamed Sun, was a dry and thin old man, who was actually forty years old, and he only looked old because of his long-term field work.

The rain gathered, muddy, the path was mostly muddy, rugged, and even more muddy when it rained, but this difficult road seemed to have little effect on the old grandson, he wore the thin straw sandals, walked on the mountain road like flying, like a nimble rabbit, jumping up and down, not only for the descendants to step on the easy road, but also with the firewood knife in his hand to cut those annoying branches.

In this way, this team of more than a dozen people marched rapidly on the slippery mountain road.

Ji Wushuang is Xu San's apprentice, and she has also cultivated Qi Determination, although she has only cultivated the first level, but the improvement of the five senses is still there, much stronger than these people in the team, although the darkness in front of you at this moment is deep, but also hazy, and you can vaguely see a little red more than two hundred meters in front of you.

walked a few steps quickly, came to Zhao Gang's side, and whispered, "Political Commissar Zhao, there is a red dot in the direction of two o'clock, I suspect someone." ”

Zhao Gang stopped when he heard this, and looked in the direction Ji Wushuang said, all he saw was darkness, and there were no red dots at all, "Are you sure it's not dazzling, why didn't I see anything." ”

Ji Wushuang blinked his eyes twice, looked in the direction of the red dot again, and found that the red dot was no trace at the moment.

She scratched her head and said embarrassedly, "I did see a red dot dangling just now, about more than 200 meters, I guess someone is smoking." ”

"Spit ~~" Zhao Gang exhaled a breath, "Wushuang, it is very difficult to see someone smoking two hundred meters away during the day, let alone in this black-lit forest!" I think you're too nervous! When you get to the coal mine, take a good rest and stop fighting. ”

After speaking, Zhao Gang said hello to Old Man Sun, "Old Sun, let's go!" ”

The team started again, but Ji Wushuang pouted, looking very unhappy.

Dong Jinbao has been following Ji Wushuang for a long time, and he knew that this eldest lady was in a bad mood and was in a bad mood, so he immediately came over to comfort him, "Eldest Miss, what Political Commissar Zhao said is right, you are suspicious now, and you are all soldiers, and when I first became a soldier, I was like you, and I always felt that there were enemies around me." ”

"Humph!" Miss Ji snorted coldly and didn't answer, she knew that she was absolutely not wrong just now.

The team marched a distance again, and the old Sun Tou at the front said, "Turn a corner ahead, and then a big downhill, after going down, it will be Qinjiabao, and after Qinjiabao will be a coal mine." ”

"Thank you, old man!" Zhao Gang was polite.

The team turned a corner, and sure enough, there was a big downhill, and the slope was very steep.

"Everyone be careful, keep a little distance, and be sure to follow my footsteps, otherwise it's not a joke to step on the air and roll down." As he spoke, the old grandson leaned sideways and prepared to open the way.

The footsteps of the downhill old Sun Tou were obviously a little slower, but fortunately, the downhill road was not long, and the team soon reached the flat land at the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Gang looked at his watch, it has been more than half an hour since the division of troops, and the degree of difficulty on this path has exceeded expectations.

"How long will it take to get from here to the coal mine!" Zhao Gang asked.

"According to our footsteps, it will take about ten minutes to walk from Qinjiabao, but. The villagers of Qinjiabao are not friendly to our team. ”

It's normal to be unfriendly, after all, this is an enemy-occupied area, and there are many villagers who have never seen the Eighth Route Army at all, and don't know that they are the people's army.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Gang asked, "What about the detour?" ”

Old Sun Tou looked at Qin Jiabao and thought about it, and said, "If you take a detour, you will probably have to walk for more than twenty minutes." ”

Looking at the watch again,

10:40，

There were still twenty minutes before the agreed time, and Li Yunlong's life and death were uncertain, which made him very worried, so Zhao Gang decided to go to Qinjiabao.

However, at this time, a sudden gunshot broke the calm of the night.

"Woo~!"

Lao Sun Tou fell to the ground in response, the gunshots continued to sound, and the bullets crackled from the direction of Qinjiabao, and then two more soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

"Lie down! Find cover! Zhao Gang immediately gave an order.

was ambushed, although he didn't know which force was ambushed, but at this moment, Zhao Gang was extremely remorseful, regretting why he didn't follow the predetermined route, and was ambushed in order to take a shortcut in a hurry.

"Bah~" Another gunshot rang out, coming from the rear and hitting Zhao Gang's shoulder.

The injured Zhao Gang immediately rolled and rolled behind a large bluestone.

"Papa~Pap~" The bullets hit the big bluestone again and splashed a little spark.

"Old Sun, how is it, is the injury serious?" Hiding behind the bluestone, Zhao Gang asked eagerly.

"There's a hole in the stomach, you can't die!" The voice of the old grandson came from not far away.

"Cheng Jiang, Shen Hong!"

Zhao Gang shouted out the names of the other two soldiers who had been shot, wondering how their injuries were.

"Commissar, we're fine, we just got bitten by a mosquito." A warrior named Shin Hong shouted loudly.

"What about Cheng Jiang?" Zhao Gang continued to shout.

Cheng Jiang didn't reply, but he heard a muffled sound of a bullet entering the flesh, followed by a muffled snort.

Zhao Gang endured the pain, took a deep breath, and then quickly poked his head out and glanced at the direction where Cheng Jiang fell.

"Phew!"

A bullet hit the stone in front of Zhao Gang's eyes, and sparks flew again.

It's dangerous!

However, Zhao Gang also took advantage of this time to see Cheng Jiang's state at the moment.

Cheng Jiang hadn't sacrificed yet, but at this moment he couldn't move, and when he was shot again just now, he just let out a muffled snort and didn't scream, the purpose was just not to distract his comrades.

"Bah~" Another bullet shot out and hit Cheng Jiang's thigh. (End of chapter)
