Chapter 540 Return (2)

"Lee, I think we need to rob a Japanese bunker and ask them to borrow a tuk-tuk."

On the bank of a river, three people wore straw hats and ordinary clothes, walking forward step by step.

After walking more than ten kilometers, James felt tired on his feet, so he proposed jokingly.

Li Chong picked a water plant and twirled it in his hand, "Maybe He Maoping and I can't do it, but James, with your western face, maybe you can stand in front of the bunker and wave, and see if they are willing to give you points as an American soldier." face."

"Oh! Do you want me to make sweethearts for the Japanese?"

James, who was walking in the countryside, was in a good mood, looking around with great interest, and telling black and humorous jokes from time to time.

Just as the three of them continued to walk forward, a "beep beep" sound suddenly came from far away from the river.

Li Chong, He Maoping, and James drilled into the reeds, and after pushing aside a few grasses, they saw a devil boat approaching on the river in the distance. The boat was full of sacks. It looked like they were transporting food, with a relaxed posture, obviously they didn't notice Li Chong and the other three.

He Maoping quickly assembled the Thomson submachine gun, while Li Chong was holding a self-made grenade borrowed when he set off from the New Fourth Army garrison.

Although the small boat coming from a distance does not require manpower, it is not a gunboat, but a wooden boat with iron sheets inlaid around it, and a propeller installed at the stern. The attack force is that the devils on the gunboat responded with guns.

Li Chong opened his eyes and carefully counted the number of people on the boat. There were only six devils on the boat. He patted James on the shoulder and said, "James, our means of transportation is here. You can kill the ones at the stern. Two Japanese soldiers!"

"Xiao He, you deal with the enemies on the bow, and I will deal with the ones on the grain bags."

After two orders, He Maoping pulled the submachine gun to grab the commander, and James pulled out his Browning M1911 semi-automatic gun.

When the devil gunboat gradually approached from a distance, the three of them erupted in an instant.

The earthen long-handled grenade in Li Chong's hand relied on his great arm strength, and accurately landed on the grain bag carried by the boat. When sparks lit up, Chen Tinghe's submachine gun and James' Browning fired together.

The devils on the gunboat didn't have time to react, nor did they respond by shooting, so they fell into the water.

Li Chong plunged down with a slam, half his body came out of the water in a blink of an eye, grabbed the sack on the boat and flew up, and then held the propeller in his hand to control the moving boat.
"Oh, God! Li, the scene where you jumped out of the water just now was amazing. Is that Chinese Kung Fu?"

On the boat, Li Chong controlled the direction of the propeller, while He Maoping checked five long guns and a crooked machine gun.The crooked machine gun fell into the water just now, and now it was salvaged. He Maoping was taking it down and cleaning it.James leaned on the bag, admiring Li Chong's sudden hand just now.

The boat was indeed food transported by the devils to various bases, but it was robbed by Li Chong and other three people along the way.

The speed of the boat is not very fast, but it is much better than walking on two feet.

"Help me throw some of the grain on the boat along the river bank, it's too slow."

The closer he was to his hometown, the more Li Chong couldn't wait. These cumbersome troubles seriously restricted the speed of the boat.

After losing some of the restraints on the boat, the speed of the boat was greatly improved.

The river water was split by the propeller and the aftermath spread far away. Under Li Chong's control, the boat did not follow the main vein of the river.

The more you get to the boundary of Zhaduo, the more abundant the water system is. Only those who are born and bred in this water area can skillfully shuttle across this boundary with a sense of heart.

When the boat dexterously turned a corner with the sound of "beep beep beep" and entered a long and narrow river, Li Chong knew that his hometown was right in front of him!
Just like in memory, at the end of this narrow and long waterway, there is a stretch of green gauze and reeds that look like boundless at a glance.

This is the reed field at the back of Lizhuang Village, which is "difficult to get out of if it is not for the people of the village". The reed roots that have been entangled for many years make this place a place that strangers should not get close to.

Li Chong reckoned that devils would not want to mess around here at ordinary times, so when they walked the waterway, they made countless turns, bypassed Zhaduo directly, and chose to enter the village from the reed behind the village.And he has another consideration, that is, he doesn't know what's going on in the village now, and he needs to stay here for a while, and then enter the village to investigate the situation when it gets dark.

The small boat stopped in the reeds, and the mighty reeds naturally covered up the traces.

Stepping into the reed marsh where he played hide-and-seek with the village children, Li Chong felt cordial from his heart.

Before entering the reed marshes, Li Chong seriously told James and He Maoping beside him, "We must go to the other end of the reed marshes before dark, and you two should follow closely. , I can’t get out.”

At this moment when the sun was setting, Li Chong stretched out his hand among the tangled reed roots, and broke off a piece of reed root that was as crisp and tender as a white onion, and chewed it in his mouth. It was a familiar sweet taste.

James followed suit, and when he first tried to stuff it into his mouth, his brows were furrowed.But the full juice did not bring the expected earthy smell, but a sweet and refreshing feeling.

Knowing the taste of the marrow, James pulled out a few more pieces one after another, chewing all the way behind Li Chong.

More than 40 minutes later, in the twilight, Li Chong pushed aside a few reeds in front of him, and he could already see the fertile land.

"It's unbelievable! Li, how do you find your way in this labyrinth of reeds? Is it divination?"

James was very surprised that Li Chong was able to walk through this area quickly in the end, just pushing aside the reeds in front of him and moving forward.Because he didn't feel much when he first entered, but after he actually entered the reeds, he couldn't find his way at all.

Each of these reeds is taller than a person, and James couldn't understand how Li Chong could find his way among the lush reeds.He knew that he had crossed this area in just over 40 minutes, but if he didn't follow Li Chong's step by step, he would definitely not be able to get out of this area no matter what.

Hearing James' question, Li Chong pointed to his chest with a smile and said, "This is my hometown, here I can feel the direction of home with my heart, and I don't need to use my eyes to find the way home. "

Outside the reeds, a dilapidated thatched cottage was half-toppled. Li Chong knew that it was the residence of the shopkeeper Xiaotang. It seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time. .
