Chapter 309: Deserter

Zhou Zhen, who snatched a plane, went all the way east at full speed, and parachuted to escape in advance when passing through a valley, allowing the plane to continue gliding forward without piloting, and fell to a farther position.

In the sky, Zhou Zhen curled up his legs to meet the impact of the dense forest canopy.

Sharp branches cut through his shirt and trousers, leaving scars on his skin.

Although he was wearing a custom-made bomber jacket, by the time he hit the ground, he was still hanging from the branches in several places.

"Whew~~~ It's dangerous, it's so exciting!"

Zhou Zhen used a knife to cut the parachute ropes, buried the umbrella surface on the spot, and collected the ropes and carried them with him, which can come in handy when surviving in the wild.

Everything was ready, and Zhou Zhen briefly treated a few larger wounds to ensure that there would be no further bleeding or wound infection, so he pulled out his gun and walked cautiously to the higher place.

He had to determine his position first, and then join his comrades according to a pre-agreed plan.

The valley appears to be untouched, with little human activity in the forest, and only trails trodden by wild animals.

Zhou Zhen has a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, but he is not afraid of any beasts, what he is worried about now is that the little devil is biting tightly.

As he walked, Zhou Zhen heard gunfire in the distance, which was supposed to be the besieged task force exchanging fire with the Japanese army, and the fight was fierce.

However, at this moment, Zhou Zhen heard the sound of someone whispering not far away.

Those people speak Japanese, and they are people who are little devils! Could it be that the other party so quickly determined the location of his forced landing and surrounded him?

Zhou Zhen lay on his stomach in the dense grass, bit the knife in his mouth, and took out another gun from his lower back, ready to fight the other party at any time.

But when he crawled in the grass and moved towards the crowd of people talking little by little, he finally found that there was no large Japanese army in front of him, and it was not specially sent to look for him, there were only three little devils there, who were hiding in the dense forest valley and seemed to be sharing the spoils.

"These are Matsui's, these are Yamada's, these are mine, put them away, don't be discovered. We have been attacking Nanjing for a long time, and the military department wants to cure the crime of the chief, this is our best chance to escape from here! ”

"Can we really escape? If the commander finds out, he will order us to seppuku. ”

"Our commander is too busy to take care of himself, and he is fighting the enemy's army hotly, and he can't take care of the three of us, and have you found out? This group of enemy armies is different from the others, their equipment and individual combat capabilities are above us, if it weren't for the numerical superiority, we would have been defeated long ago~!

I think that the longer this battle drags on, the smaller our chances of victory will be, and we should stay in Manchukuo and develop there, why do we have to fight all the way to the west? Don't those fools in the military department know how vast the Huaxia Continent is? How many people do they have? Once this nation is completely enraged, our empire will be destroyed by an irresistible catastrophe! ”

"Shiro, shut up and be quiet! If we were heard, we would have been court-martialed and shot! Don't say this kind of thing in the future, our current military deployment is clearly winning battles all the way, here is just a few cases, you look at their other troops, they are always at the touch of a button, this kind of equipment is good and can fight after all, there are very few, I guess this may be their most elite force, as long as they eat them, we will not be able to meet the opponent in the future. ”

The soldier who was previously known as Shiro spat disdainfully and said, "I heard the commander and the military department report this matter that day, and I am sure that this group of enemies should be coming from the New World, do you know?" All they used were the best rifles in the world, with the stiffest steel helmets and the best medicines!

And what about us? Look at my rifle that has to be loaded once with one shot, I want to smash it in two! I also heard that the 8th and 14th Flying Companies, led by General Shunroku on the other side of the island, were assembling and preparing to rush to Nanjing to provide support.

Any idea what this means? This means that they have panicked, on behalf of our commander kicked to the iron plate, and on behalf of the military department has given him an ultimatum! On the other hand, it seems that the more the other party fights, the higher the morale, the more the number of enemy troops killed, if the city cannot be defeated this time, the military department's plan to move west will definitely be changed because of this. ”

"Shiro, don't say these frustrating words, no matter what, we have won a lot of battles, those big men in the military department only look at the results, now the situation is very good, it is impossible for you to let them stop the attack, it is useless to say that, let's think about how to escape."

The soldier known as Shiro seemed to be the smartest of the three, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Let's take this money and go to a secret passage privately developed by the locals, from where we can take a black boat and pass through several small islands to transfer, and finally return to our hometown!" ”

"Really? How did you know about the secret passages used by the enemy? Could it be that our military headquarters will not know? ”

"Don't worry, there are policies above, there are countermeasures below, the coastline is so long, the ocean is so big, even if those guys in the navy send out all the fleets, it is impossible to block the entire sea, but this route will take a long detour, and will not return to our hometown in the straightest way, so we have to dock on some small islands in the middle, and transfer to other ships, there is no way to reach it directly."

"Okay Shiro, then please, just do as you say!"

After the three deserters finished dividing the spoils, they wrapped them in cloth and carried them on their backs, raised their heads and looked around sneakily to make sure that there was no one around, and then quietly touched them in the southeast direction.

As for Zhou Zhen, he had already eavesdropped on their conversation throughout the whole process, and a question popped up in his head.

"The Japanese army is really in a hurry, they sent a large number of troops and planes to attack Nanjing, and they are also under tremendous pressure, if they can't attack this place for a long time, they will most likely choose to give up, but they actually gathered two flying companies on the island? It looks like the plan is going to change a little bit this time......"

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen had a plan, took off his jacket and leather shoes, messed up his hair, and smeared some dirt on his face, ran towards the side of the three people, and fell down in a relatively empty low-lying area, making a faint cry for help.

"Ouch...... Help ~ Help me...... Is there anyone here to save me...... ”

The three deserters who were sneaking through the dense forest were frightened by the sound.

"Hell! What is the sound? Shiro, did you hear that? It can't be a mandrill or a faceling, right? ”

The soldier named Shiro slapped his companion on the head and said angrily, "Shut up! Where did mandrills and facelings come from? It's obviously someone calling for help, it's our ally, but how can he be here? Let's go, take a look, get the gun. ”

The three of them picked up their rifles and walked nervously in the direction of Zhou Zhen's call for help, they used their bayonets to push through the dense bushes, and finally saw Zhou Zhen covered in blood and dying.

"Huh? Who are you? How did it end up here? Which troops? ”

Zhou Zhen's Japanese is good, and he had just captured a Zero fighter, and he took the time to glance at the name of the person he killed in the back seat, and used it directly.

"My name is Yoshikawa Tomokuma, I am a pilot of the 16th Flying Company under Major General Ando of the Kanto Flying Group...... My plane crashed on the other side of the valley. ”

Shiro and the two companions glanced at each other, they had just seen a plane with black smoke crashing in the distance, and they were frightened by the huge explosion, but they didn't expect that the pilot of the crash was still alive and right in front of them.

"Yoshikawa Tomoo, my name is Shiro, his name is Matsui, his name is Yamada, we are soldiers under the jurisdiction of the first brigade, don't worry, we will save you, come to Matsui and take a hand."

Shiro gestured at his companion, and the other hurriedly stepped forward, and the two of them helped Zhou Zhen up from the ground one by one.

They glanced at the wounds on Zhou Zhen's body and made sure that he was not lying, they were all scratches, they must have been cut by a tree branch when they fell from the sky, and they couldn't fake it.

It's just that the three of them are discussing how to escape as deserters, and it is impossible to return to the brigade squad with a wounded at this time, in which case they will definitely be sent to the front line to die.

As he walked, Shiro winked at his friend Yamada behind him, and asked him to kill the poor pilot with a bayonet behind his back.
