After a short period of rest and recuperation, the Eighth Column of the Bump Mountain Field Army established and perfected various organizations and vigorously fought against the troops. Soon, he received an order to pull out the Bump Mountain and participate in the all-out attack on the Kuomintang army Jiang Wenzhao's troops in Luzhou and Yuancheng.

Just two days before the expedition, a small incident happened, and Chen Mohan's carefully raised hero Xue Wuxian died. Along with the snow without a trace, there is another bumpy mountain jackal dog, whose name is Yao Hulu.

The cause of the incident was very accidental, on this day Liang Bida led the cadres of other regiments of the Second Brigade to the new Second Regiment to observe the rapid maneuver procedure training, and when the guard platoon commander Huang Dehu went out, the yellow-skinned dog Yao Hulu also followed him affectionately. Huang Dehu pushed back a few times, but Yao Hulu refused to go back in vain. Huang Dehu stopped fighting, and let Yao Hulu shake his head and follow Xujiaji, the station of the new second regiment.

A group of regimental-level commanders led by Liang Bida included Zhu Zhudao, Song Shangda, Qu Xiangqian, Tao Sanhe, and others. Chen Mohan pulled out his own troops and gave demonstrations in such subjects as marching sequences, battle formations, flank support, and the setting of communication and liaison signals at the beginning and end.

All the regiment commanders were very convinced, believing that every detail of the operation of the large army was very important, and that the new second regiment was the foundation of the regular army, and that it was really orderly and leaky in this regard. Liang Bida also bought it, and asked the regiment commanders to go back to follow the example of the new second regiment, and also formulated a plan for the marching army, drew a road map, and studied the emergency measures to deal with emergencies in the process of traveling to the army.

After the observation, Liang Bida was interested, and asked the driver of the new second regiment to drive three gas cars dragged out of Liu Hanying's department, and shouted to the regiment leaders to climb onto the van board and have a beautiful time with foreign addiction. Regardless of everyone's hysterical exclamations of opposition, Liang Bida hugged the steering wheel and drove two laps on the Pingba, which was extremely comfortable.

However, just when everyone was about to leave Xujiaji, something unexpected happened - Yao Hulu, who was following Huang Dehu, found that there was no trace of snow.

Initially it was curiosity. Yao Hulu had never seen such an animal, like his own kind, but not as wild as his own kind—Xue Wuxian was now in his old age, extremely docile.

Then there was jealousy, Yao Hulu seemed to see a noble temperament from the old Xue Wuji's body, and the snowy white fur stinged Yao Hulu's eyes. There is also the attitude of those eyes, not impetuous, unearthly, unlike it Yao Hulu feels new about everything, and takes the trouble to sniff around, but quietly lies on his own territory, enjoying the early summer sunshine without arguing with the world.

Finally, Yao Hulu ran towards Xue Wuji, only a few steps away from Xue Wuji, stood still, and carried out tactical reconnaissance and temptation, provoking a few times, seeing that Xue Wuxian ignored it, with a look of disdain, he had the displeasure of being despised and neglected. Yao Hulu was dominated by an inexplicable hatred that gradually swelled and escalated as Xue Wuxian continued to ignore it.

The air of war was suddenly tense. Finally, Yao Hulu carried the qi of the dantian, screamed wildly, activated the four hooves, jumped up, quickly undulated a few coherent waves in the air, and rushed towards the snow without a trace.

It wasn't until after Yao Hulu's first round of attacks began that Xue Wuxian realized the inevitability of war. However, at the moment, it still can't figure out the details of the other party, and I don't know why this yellow-skinned guy who has never been wronged or even knows it at all is so aggressive.

Xue Wuxian didn't make a rash move, only when Yao Hulu's front paws were about to grab its face, he jumped into the air and quickly dodged this unreasonable attack.

Yao Hulu naturally wouldn't give up, it didn't expect this wilting kind of guy to have such dexterous tactics, and felt embarrassed, so he gathered his strength and pounced bravely again.

At this time, Liang Bida and others walked out of the headquarters of the new Second Regiment, and Chen Mohan saw that there was a yellow-skinned jackal dog frantically chasing and entwining Xue Wuxian, his face changed at that time, and he ordered the guards to go up and separate the two dogs. The guard was about to step forward, but he heard a laugh - laughter came from the throat of the brigade commander Liang Bida.

Liang Bida said: "Head Chen, don't stop it. Today, your brother has taught us a lot of common sense, and he will show us a trick. It is in their nature for monkeys to fight with tree dogs. Let them hit. ”

Chen Mohan's heart tightened, and he rushed out: "Brigade commander, you can't fight, this dog is not an ordinary dog, it is a ......"

Before he finished speaking, Liang Bida's face darkened: "What's the matter?" What is not an average dog? A dog is a dog, not necessarily a divine dog? ”

Chen Mohan explained: "This dog is left behind by General Wu Peimei, the old commander of the 79th Army, and it has military merits and cannot be confused with wild dogs. ”

Unexpectedly, it was okay not to say this, but Liang Bida got angry when he said it, and said with a smile: "Brother, your dog is President Jiang's brother, and it is also a dog, nothing unusual." This yellow-skinned dog is not a wild dog, it is a war dog personally cultivated by me Liang Bida, and it usually doesn't have a chance to show a hand, today, let them have a good time. ”

Zhu Zhudao, who was next to him, gave Chen Mohan a look, and said in a low voice: "Commander Chen, it's rare for the brigade commander to have such a good mood these days, what's the big deal about watching a dog fight?" Don't stand in the way anymore. ”

As he spoke, Yao Hulu had already launched a fourth round of attacks on Xue Wuxi, barking non-stop, jumping vertically and horizontally, and using both mouth and foot. Xue Wuxian still didn't fight back, dodging and dodging, and looked at the group of people who had just appeared, looking for the owner Chen Mohan that it could trust, hoping that he could come forward to stop this sudden and meaningless fight. It was old and weak, and besides, by its quality, it was indeed reluctant to fight the almost scoundrel yellow dog.

However, its old owner was already in a difficult situation at this time. Chen Mohan heard the overtones in Zhu Zhudao's kind persuasion. Dongfang Wenyin's sacrifice will once again appear as the price he has to pay. Yes, Brigadier Liang Bida was indeed moody during this time, and the great pain of losing his lover was still tormenting him and would last for a long time. He doesn't insult you anymore, he doesn't embarrass you anymore, he just wants to see dogs fight, why should you obstruct it?

Chen Mohan gritted his teeth, his face was pale and gray, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing that his master was indifferent, Xue Wuxian was even more confused—could he have betrayed it too, how could he watch it being bullied by that yellow-skinned wild dog and remain indifferent?

However, snow without a trace is a snow without a trace after all. Soon, it could see the old master's closed eyes and gray face. The old master is not betraying it, the old master has the difficulties of the old master - the old master is in pain, it must be so. In this way, it can only protect itself, whether it can defeat its opponent, whether it can escape this calamity, it all depends on its own creation.

Snow Without a Trace began to defend itself. It straightened up, then pressed its front body down slightly, almost close to the ground, and its two paws stretched forward, and its hind hips were raised, pulling away from the leaping stance.

Yao Hulu saw that Xue Wuxian had a combat reaction, and suddenly his passion was high, and with a roar, his hind legs suddenly propped up, and he left the ground, pounced on the top of Mount Tai, and scratched a fierce claw on Xue Wuji's face mercilessly.

Snow did not move at all, silently accepting the blow. Suddenly, several blood marks appeared on his face.

Liang Bida saw it happily and shouted: "Okay, there is a kind." Again. ”

Chen Mohan's heart was crying and dripping blood. He opened his eyes and saw the scene clearly. His heart is also calling: "Stand up, stand up, stand up, my snow without a trace, my good brother, my good companion." You unyielding warrior who can't be beaten by guns, can't be tamed, don't bear it anymore, don't care about me. Show your superior fighting spirit, rush up, destroy it, and destroy that wild dog. Destroy it like a Japanese devil, destroy ......"

But the snow was still unmoving.

Yao Hulu saw that Xue Wuxian still did not fight back after suffering a major blow, and he was even more satisfied - haha, this beautiful guy, it has a good face and a good body in white, it is a bad seed, so vulnerable, so what ambiguity do I have? Rush up, scratch it, shred it. Haha, my master is looking at me, and I can see that he is happy. As long as I step this white toy into a mess of mud, he will definitely reward me greatly, and the food standard will be raised, maybe I can eat a few eggs a month like Huang Dehu.

Yao Hulu's attack is as fierce as a round, this young and ambitious guy, how did it know that its opponent turned out to be its father or grandfather, a great warrior who had made achievements in the rain of bullets? It sees it as a weak and pitiful worm.

War is like this, either you die or I die, then, what are you waiting for? Rush up and rush up, and a few more bites, and it will fall completely. Yao Hulu's roar was mixed with a cruel smile, preaching cruel pleasure, unscrupulous, unruly, cloaked, rushing left and right, passing from the sky for a while, and slamming into the ground for a while. Every time I succeeded, I heard a cheer. Liang Bida's exuberant praise was transmitted to its eardrums through this applause, which further encouraged its fighting spirit to move forward.

Snow Traceless's face, body, and legs were already blurred with flesh and blood in the blink of an eye.

How Chen Mohan hopes that it can stand up and take a boost. But the elf, who had suffered so much, remained motionless, dragging its bruised body, stubbornly holding its standing posture, and holding its noble head high. It seems that it is really old, it may no longer be able to shake up the majesty of the past, it is exhausted, it is very likely to die under the claws of this wild dog, which is not an opponent at all, it can only express its disdain and contempt with its own decent fighting style, and can only show its indomitability with this noble posture - it would rather die than give in.

Two huge teardrops involuntarily oozed from the corners of Chen Mohan's eyes.

However, just as those two tears were about to fall, Chen Mohan's heart suddenly rose, and he was pleasantly surprised to see something familiar to him from the tenacious and motionless body of Xue Wuxian - he couldn't believe it was true, he quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and once again cast his gaze, this time it was ecstasy—yes, he was familiar with the scene, it was trembling, its muscles were contracting, its bones were colliding, its hair was already standing up, its strength was condensing, its blood was burning- Just when Yao Hulu's new attack fell, it-the hero's snow stood up without a trace, like a sharp lightning flashing from the sun, a white arrow was born out of the sky, and there was an exclamation from the side, Chen Mohan only had time to see the strong consternation on Liang Bida's face, and the battle situation over there changed dramatically-Yao Hulu didn't expect that the seemingly weak opponent would have such agile skills, and would burst out with such a fierce attack force, it was completely stunned, It was stunned by the lightning that flew through the sky, and it was crushed by the blood-red white kind, and then the blow of fire followed. Yao Hulu's eyes were useless, and Xue Wuxian first destroyed its organs for judging the target with accurate means, and it could only aimlessly spread its teeth and claws in the pitch-black abyss, but it could no longer see the fatality of the other party. Then, it felt a burning sensation in its abdomen, and it tried to protect it. In the moment of desperation, it begins to remorse and hate his master, what is it all for? It's a good day, but why do you want to provoke this kind of people? It was supposed to be so gentle, so forbearing, but ...... But...... It was for their likes and dislikes, and for the sake of pleasing them, that it fell to this point.

However, it is too late to regret. When the burning heat in its abdomen was gone, it felt a cool breath fill its abdomen. It knew it was finished, that it had been ruined by the lowly character of vanity and flattery. It used its last breath, and the four hoofed claws twitched on the ground a few times with the inertia of muscles and blood flow, and then remained motionless, under the premise that the central command had been interrupted.

Xue Wuxi, who had won the final victory, moved without a trace, slowly turned around, and looked at these people watching the battle with deep speechless eyes, standing motionless for a long time.

Liang Bida's right hand couldn't help but press on the handle of the pistol at his waist.

Chen Mohan's right hand was also subconsciously pressed on the handle of the pistol at his waist.

The air froze, and the air in the valley seemed to be full of explosives, which were about to explode.

Suddenly, Liang Bida laughed, let go of his right hand pressed on the handle of the gun, patted Chen Mohan on the shoulder, and said heartily: "Okay, Commander Chen, I believe it, your dog is a general's protégé." What is my dog? Haha, it's Yao Hulu, a traitor and bandit bastard, who deserves to die. ”

After speaking, he waved his big hand and beckoned several regiment leaders: "Go!" ”

Several regiment leaders looked at each other, but no one said anything, nodded to Chen Mohan, and left.

Chen Mohan's hand was released from the handle of the gun, and he was already sweating. He walked towards Snow Without a Trace, slowly approaching his hero. It wasn't until he got closer that he realized something was wrong—the snow was still standing like a rock, and his eyes were still staring at him, but they were already dark. Chen Mohan's heart tightened, he stepped forward and hugged Xue Wuji's head, and Xue Wuxian fell to the ground suddenly, and he was suddenly angry.
