Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 620

Lieutenant Komatsu now discovered the benefits of catching up—it was much easier to catch up than to lead the way.

He followed Qian Xiaobao, passing one gray figure after another staggering under the slightly white headlight.After running the mountain road for ten kilometers with a heavy load, almost everyone was exhausted.

None of these people forgot the military water bottles when they came out to gather like Second Lieutenant Komatsu, but many of them didn't remember to fill the water bottles when they came out.When I ran to the bottom of Luohan Peak, there was no water in the military water bottle.

When he started to climb the mountain, Second Lieutenant Komatsu suddenly felt the wind pick up.The big trees and the low shrubs that climbed the hillside kept shaking and humming in the mountain wind.

There was an officer sitting there leaning against the big tree panting for breath.

"Get up quickly! It's okay to walk slowly, if you sit down, you won't be able to stand up!" Qian Xiaobao said.

While talking, the two of them climbed up a certain distance, and the steepness of the mountain was almost using both hands and feet.

"It's impossible to climb like this. It's too steep to climb up. It's better to go around there." Qian Xiaobao pointed to a gentle slope on the side road.

"Going up from here is the shortest distance, if you go from there, it will take a long detour." Second Lieutenant Xiaosong said.

He is a competitive person, and today he finally had the opportunity to be at the top of this heavy-loaded march. He didn't want to fall behind because of a detour.

"Stop talking nonsense and listen to me!" Qian Xiaobao said in an unquestionable tone.

Field training for Japanese non-commissioned officer school graduates, including Second Lieutenant Komatsu, is commonplace, and mountain climbing is also a common occurrence.But no one like Qian Xiaobao lived in the mountains all the year round, lived in the mountains, went around in circles and fought against the Japanese crusades for several years.

In those few years, he almost visited all the mountains, large and small, around Mudanjiang.

Duhuizhengmei Shaozuo looked down from the top of the mountain with a binoculars, and saw several officers struggling to climb up under the cover of rocks.

Because the slope is too steep, in the eyes of Duhui Zhengmei, it is not crawling but wriggling like a bug.

If you look into the distance, you can see the rolling hills, the almost dry Ant River and a railway bridge.

If it is the only way for the army of the northern powers to attack Yisipo from east to west, guerrilla warfare based on the terrain here can effectively block the enemy.

Duhui Zhengmei put down the binoculars and raised her wrist to check the time. If you look at the current situation, these idiots will not be able to climb up in another hour.

Qian Xiaobao led Second Lieutenant Xiaosong to deviate from the prescribed route and go around to find a gentle route to climb to the top of the mountain.Although climbing up is not so strenuous, but the distance is not a little bit far.

Second Lieutenant Xiaosong was beating his heart, fearing that others who climbed to the top would have already reached the goal.

Just when he wanted to use all his breastfeeding strength to speed up, Qian Xiaobao's speed slowed down.

"There are only the last 400 meters left, Second Lieutenant Xiaosong, you can climb up first. I accidentally twisted my foot just now and need some treatment." Qian Xiaobao said to Second Lieutenant Xiaosong.

Seeing that Second Lieutenant Xiaosong was still hesitating, Qian Xiaobao said, "Hurry up and go, I'll be fine after rubbing it myself."

Second Lieutenant Komatsu turned around and climbed to the top of the mountain not far away.

Qian Xiaobao looked at the back of Second Lieutenant Komatsu leaning against a granite rock, took out the cigarette case and lighter, lit a cigarette and smoked it beautifully.He planned to finish smoking this cigarette before climbing up. The first one to climb to the top of the mountain would only be tempting to someone like Second Lieutenant Komatsu, but Qian Xiaobao felt that it was best to hide in the middle without showing the dew.

When Duhui Masami was looking down through the binoculars, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and he hurriedly turned his head to see Second Lieutenant Komatsu climbing up out of breath.

"Komatsu Ruoyun of the Harbin Headquarters of the Ministry of Intelligence reports to the Chief of the Council!" Second Lieutenant Komatsu said with a salute.

"Why didn't you follow the prescribed route and climb up from behind?" Duhui Zhengmei asked.

"Report sir, the road ahead is too difficult to climb. Although it's a bit farther up from the back, it's much easier to climb." Second Lieutenant Komatsu replied.

"You climbed up from behind alone?" Duhui Zhengmei asked.

"There is also Second Lieutenant Qian Xiaobao, but his ankle is sprained, and he will be able to come up after a while." Second Lieutenant Xiaosong replied.

"Rest in place, and return to the training center together after the others go up the mountain." Duhui Zhengmei ordered.

At this time, Qian Xiaobao was sitting cross-legged on the weeds, sipping water from a military kettle and looking down at the scenery down the mountain.

Although they were in a mess due to inexperience, more than a dozen officers still endured hunger, thirst and fatigue and climbed up little by little. After half an hour, seven or eight people reached the top of the mountain again.

Second Lieutenant Xiaosong was the first to climb up. After he calmed down his joyful mood, he looked at the back mountain and still couldn't see Qian Xiaobao.

The sun finally rose, and the shivering ten or so people suddenly felt warm because of the mountain wind.They all turned their heads to the east and looked at the gushing sun.

"It's too slow. Those who climb up from now on will be registered! They will be punished after returning to the training center!" Duhui Zhengmei said.

Second Lieutenant Xiaosong hurriedly turned his head to look at the gentle slope of the back hill, but he still didn't see Qian Xiaobao's shadow.But when he turned around again, he found that Qian Xiaobao was sitting among those seven or eight people!
"When did you come up?" Second Lieutenant Komatsu asked in surprise.

"In less than 5 minutes, it will be registered by the chief of the Duhui later." Qian Xiaobao replied.

A group of 21 people did not return to the training center until lunch time.

Duhui Zhengmei immediately ordered the last twelve people not to eat and carry howitzers on the playground for intensive training.

When Qian Xiaobao walked into the classroom in the afternoon, he couldn't help his nose twitching. He smelled a mixture of alcohol and gasoline.

Turning his head to look at the large wooden table in front, it was full of bottles and cans.The strange thing is that there are many kinds of common daily necessities on the table.

"Guerrilla warfare is a complex and superb form of warfare that requires the bravest, wittiest and most tenacious people! You are all selected by the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army from more than 4000 people in the intelligence department. Difficult task. Like seeds and souls, you must lead a large group of people to fight the enemy most resolutely!" Colonel Takanobu Makino gave a speech before class for the first time.

"Next, Major Masami Tokai from Nakano School will teach you!" Makino Takanobu said finally.

Duhui Zhengmei walked to the front and said: "The premise of guerrilla warfare is that when the empire is short of manpower and equipment, you need to use the most resourceful means to fight the enemy. You have seen and used these things on the table. I even ate it. They are your weapons, and they can exert unexpected power to strike the enemy in the most difficult time!"
