under fire

Chapter 213 Changes
The mountain wind howled over the hills, except for the sentry personnel of the Ninth Company, most of them lay on the ground, wrapped in marching blankets and clothes, and slept.

Xiao Hongying poked her head out from the marching blanket, and tugged at the collar of Hu Yi next to her: "Fox, why don't you go and see the guerrilla leader?"

"What time is it, can you stop messing around? Get a good night's sleep, and you have to go on the road in the middle of the night!"

"Bah bah, when can it be! We have been fighting with devils for so long, haven't we come here for nine consecutive days? Hey, are you still thinking about vixen?"

""

"Report, Company Commander Hu, reinforcements are coming from the chasing devils! Light the torches, the long team!" Wang Liujin brought two soldiers and hurried over to report, diverting the attention of the two chatterers and the audience, embarrassed disappear.

Hu Yi sat up: "How many people are there? How far is the distance? What's the situation in other directions?"

"It is estimated that a squadron is far away. It is about to meet the devils behind. As for other directions, I haven't found it yet!"

"Uh, the mountain road is rough. We are in a good position. There are no forks along the way. It's useless for the devils to detour. Even if reinforcements come, it's useless. At night, they can't get close and can't outflank. Rest first!"

The devil is right behind, why are you not in a hurry?
"What are you afraid of? No matter how many devils there are, they won't be able to come up. Let Li Xiang and the others pay attention. Don't worry about it for the time being. There are no enemies in the east and north, but you must be careful, because even if the devils get the news, they won't be able to surround them. So fast, be careful!"

"That Company Commander Hu, if there are no devils in the east or north, can we change our direction?" Company Commander Chen was not far away, and upon hearing Zhi Zhi's words, he leaned over and offered his opinion.

"Let's talk about it at that time. It's useless to change the direction now. There are supplementary groups in the north. Even if they merge together, the target will be very eye-catching."

"I think it's better to send someone to contact the supplementary regiment in the north? It's really not possible. The devils behind are just a squadron. Partner with them and eat the devils behind!"

"Once the battle starts, even if we retreat, it is basically impossible to get rid of it. Most of the roads in the mountains are like a line. If you walk ten miles and eight miles without even a fork in the road, you will definitely fall into a tug-of-war with the devils. Sooner or later, the devils in the north will Hearing the news, it’s not cost-effective to steal chickens without losing money, so I don’t think it’s necessary.”

"Then your plan is in vain?"

"No way, the gang of devils from behind came up with reinforcements so quickly, which means that they have already attracted the attention of the devils."

Hu Yi was also a little uncertain about his own thoughts at the beginning. The devils chasing from the rear came for reinforcements. Although the plan could not mobilize most of the devils, they would always let the devils divide their troops. Not surprisingly, the small army of devils also did not have a radio station. , Luring the devils around in circles in the mountains, and then trying to find a way to rush eastward into the plains, the devils' reinforcements came too fast, and I always felt that something was wrong.

In other words, if there are devils besieging ahead, it may be difficult to rush east to the plain.

Fortunately, I am used to wandering around in the mountains, so I am not afraid of being surrounded by devils, because Jiulian has a rope, so I can find any cliff and slide down to the foot of the mountain to get rid of the devils.

The two company commanders surrounded the map again, Hao Yun turned on the flashlight, Hu Yi quickly marked on the map without speaking, while counting the distances and directions of the groups of devils he encountered by feeling, and from time to time asked squad leader Wang about the individual direction terrain
A few minutes later, Squad Leader Wang left the team with his soldiers and headed east.



Before each sweep, Lieutenant Inoue would be armed to the teeth. His team came with big bags and small bags on their backs. After each sweep, his subordinates had even more luggage before departure.

After entering the mountain this time, they were assigned to guard the mountain pass at the foot of the east side of the mountain. Except for the eight roads outside the mountain, they attacked several times and left some corpses. The other gains were not much, and there was no chance to carry some worthless mountain goods back. catch.

Finally, in the middle of the night yesterday, I waited for the opportunity to enter the mountain.

Happily leading a squadron of devils, they marched for nearly [-] hours. Exhausted physically and mentally, they headed towards the place where the eight roads finally disappeared on the map. After estimating the distance, it should be thirty or forty miles away!

The roads in the mountains are clearly marked on the map, but the location of the eight roads is not marked on the map!I had to approach that direction by feeling.

According to the information, the direction of the Eight Roads fleeing to the southeast is in their own direction. There are only a few roads in Dashanli. If the Eight Roads really escaped to my side, and now I headed up, it just happened to make the group of Eight Roads die. Maybe , Eight roads will come to your door, so you can save a lot of mountain roads.

The vanguard team is in front, occasionally flashing a flashlight behind.

The large troops lit torches, followed behind the vanguard, and finally turned up another mountain ridge. Looking at the continuous mountain ridge ahead, Inoue was panting and a little discouraged. Along the way, the passing villages were all dilapidated. There was no one there, and all they ate were the rice balls they brought with them. There was no chicken or food. Therefore, they were very disappointed. Kong had a lot of strength, but he had no opponent.

Since the eighth road escaped from the encirclement, most likely there is no oil and water, and there are dozens of miles of mountain roads to go, up the mountain and down the ditch. It's so far away that I haven't even found a guide. If the eighth road turns in the mountains, it may be a waste of time.

Marching in the middle of the night is definitely a thankless job, so people were sent west to inform the vanguard to be alert on the spot, and ordered most of them to stop and rest on the spot.

To the north, in the dim moonlight, there are also teams marching, direction, south.

A brigade of devil soldiers, divided into three groups, was heading south. The troops were separated, and they were moving at a fast speed. With the shaking of the torches, the flow of people continued to go south.

In each team, more than a dozen devils in a squad carried rifles and walked in front of the brigade without even lighting a torch, wandering forward on the mountain road.

In the easternmost team, the pioneers walking in front had just left a valley and climbed up the mountain depression in front of them exhaustedly. The devils walking in the front suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a ray of light flashing on the mountainside in the distance, it was so faint .

Sergeant Cao stepped forward, pulled out the binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by the devil, but found nothing.

After watching for a while, the light flashed a few more times, and slowly adjusted the focus. Finally, under the moonlight, I found something different. On the mountainside, there seemed to be a few houses scattered among the undergrowth. Flashes are simply impossible to spot.

In the empty mountain, the mountain wind blows, with endless depression, it should be a small village, as if it melted into the mountain.

The sergeant made a gesture, and the team immediately stopped in the mountain depression. The devils had already lowered their rifles and were ready to move forward.

Visually, the target should be about two miles away. In fact, the mountain road is half farther. Three devils were separated from the team. In a stream, it began to flow in the shadow of the valley under the moonlight.

I don't know who is unlucky, but in the middle of the night, there is still some light coming out.
