Indiana Jones

Chapter 312 Crossing the Highway (01)

Groups of devils came out of the woods one after another. The military uniforms of that special color looked like a large group of weasels traveling in groups from a distance. These Japanese troops were loosely formed and kept a certain distance from each other. It's not because their discipline is not strict enough, but to prevent greater losses in the event of a sneak attack, the loose formation will minimize the damage caused by the sneak attack. These devils are veterans who have been fighting for many years. Common sense still understands.

"It's really costly, so much." Zhao Chenggong was a little nervous after watching the devils in groups all night, after all, there were only five of them now.

"What would you think if your search team of three or 40 people broke in and lost contact, and knew that it was lost after an exchange of fire with the enemy?" Li Siming asked in a low voice.

Zhao Chenggong is not an idiot. He is very clear that what they have done before has aroused the vigilance of the devils and made them feel threatened. In addition, the road close to the front line of supporting the devils can be said to be a lifeline. Of course, the devils will be more serious. Pay attention to.

"Fortunately, we didn't go in this direction before we killed the devil and searched for it, otherwise more devils would appear." Lao Ma said.

"What does that mean? Could it be that the devils think we are running away from them?" Zhao Chenggong didn't quite understand.

The old horse shook his head: "Of course not, if we approached this way from the beginning, then Guizi would think that we were here to destroy the road, so he would definitely send a large force to search for our tracks to ensure the safety of road transportation , but we didn't go in this direction before, so the vigilance of the devils has decreased. On the contrary, they can't figure out the purpose of our visit. They just think that we are a hidden danger, but they didn't ignore our existence. Relatively few teams search to eliminate hidden dangers."

"Is this still small? There must be hundreds of people, right?" Zhao Chenggong didn't think so. A few hundred to five of them was almost an incomparable strength gap.

"It's only a few hundred people. There are nearly 10 devils in the surrounding area. Compared with that, this is not a lot of people." After speaking, Si Xuanyi turned his head and asked the old horse, "What about us? Wait for these devils to pass by." Or go another way?"

"Let's wait for the opportunity. If they don't go in our direction, we will wait for them to pass. If they come this way, we have to make a detour." Obviously, the old horse is also watching the devil's movements.

Si Xuanyi nodded: "Understood, it seems that you have been here before, otherwise you would not be so familiar with the terrain here."

"Of course, my range of activities is within a hundred miles. We have to perform various tasks here. Someone must be familiar with the terrain in a large area, otherwise the task cannot be completed. Why do you think the devil wants Chinese soldiers to guard this place? A way? Our threat to them is no less than the frontal battlefield." Ma said proudly, "I have been working here for several years, how could I not be familiar with it?"

"The devil is coming this way, we have to move." Li Siming said in front.

"Come with me!" The old horse looked up and glanced in that direction. The devil's team was approaching. He immediately led the crowd to bend down and push westward under the cover of grass and bushes.

"Are you sure we can hide?" Zhao Chenggong asked nervously. Judging from the distance and speed of the devils, it was impossible for them to leave the devil's search range before they came into contact with the devils.

"I'm not sure, but if you don't shut up, you won't be able to hide." The old horse said in a low voice, "Shut the fuck up and follow closely."

The old horse led them forward for more than 30 meters, and the devils were already less than [-] meters away from us. If this continues, they will directly step on them. Several people are a little anxious. If this continues, it will not be a dead end one?
At this moment, the old horse stopped, pushed aside the grass on one side of the ridge, and revealed a small hole behind: "Go in."

No one thought that there was such a hole in this place, several people got into it immediately, the inside was very low and narrow, barely enough for one person to pass through, and it was completely dark.

The old horse was the last one to come in and blocked the entrance of the cave with weeds: "Try not to make any noise, keep going, and turn on the flashlight when the depth is enough."

Climbing in such a low hole is very tiring, and they can't see anything. Several people can only climb forward by feeling, and they don't know how long they finally reached a relatively wide place. Then Li Siming turned on the flashlight, I found that this is a small hole, but it is much more spacious than the passage just now. There are two holes in it. I don’t know where it leads. , The cloth is covered with dust, and I can't see what it is.

"Let's take a rest here first." The old horse came in last, and moved a stone slab from your side to block the entrance of the cave, "We will leave after the devil has passed, I hope the devil only sends a search team; there are no stools here, whatever you want sit down."

"I didn't expect you to have such a good place?" Li Siming sat on the ground and looked at the hole and said, "Have you been in business for a long time?"

"I am used to running this road, so I will naturally find some things that are difficult for others to find. This was a beast cave before, but it was changed later. It is used as a temporary place to stay. It is also a good shelter from the wind and rain, and you can put some things. For example, if you don’t need it in a mission, or if you don’t want to give it up, there are a lot of things that come and go. The things here are still good, and they are all within half a year. See what there is to eat. You can eat as much as you want, anyway, leave soon. No, it will take some time for the devil to pass by." The old horse pointed to the things beside him and said, "I remember there are some canned food from the devil, eat it, treat it as my treat."

A few people rummaged in the corner and found some canned meat jerky, sake, and some rice noodles. In this state, there is no way to light a fire. Eating canned meat and jerky is already very good. It is very valuable. Yes, there is still sake, but in this state they can only bear it. After all, it is not the time to drink. Since last night, they have not eaten seriously. Now it is time to rest and feed their stomachs.

"You keep a lot of things." Si Xuanyi dug out some ammunition on the side.

"I've been running this place for a long time, why do I have a little stock?" Lao Ma smiled, "Don't eat the canned meat, it doesn't taste very good."

"I've already opened it." Zhao Chenggong raised the opened can in his hand and said, he thought the old horse was too petty and didn't want him to eat it.

"Okay then, you have to finish him, don't waste it." The old horse took out a pack of cigarettes from the corner, smoked one and lit it.

"Damn, what is this?" Zhao Chenggong took two bites and felt that the taste was not quite right, there was no meaty taste at all.

"There are some beef leftovers on one side, such as offal, cow blood and some rice. The taste is really not good, but it is quite hungry." The old horse said while smoking, "To be honest, I don't like the little devil's stuff. I’ve eaten a lot, and it’s really not that bad.”

"The little devil's strategy of using war to support war is not an awesome tactic. It's because their logistics is over, supplies are scarce, and local supplies can't be supplied, so they can only rob them locally. Just like this bird, they still have to come out to fight. No matter how fierce they are, it will be sooner or later. It's over." Si Xuanyi ate the dried meat and said, "This is obviously not the standard ration of the Japanese army."

"Oh, that's jerky wolf meat. I made it. There are no other wolves in this mountain. Once a wolf got into this hole and was caught in a trap. I killed it and made it into jerky. Not bad, I put a little too much salt to preserve it?"

"Why do I eat a bit like horse meat?" The dried meat was too hard, and Si Xuanyi's cheeks hurt when he chewed it, but the taste was okay.

"That's right, it's good to have meat. It's not comparable to the treatment of the military commander. Seeing that all of you are all red-faced, you haven't suffered much, right? If you look at our regular army, sometimes you can't eat a meal for a few days." Decent things, the battle in Wuhan was so miserable, and then the food couldn't be delivered, and many people were too hungry to hold their guns. The supplies of the Central Army were the best, but in the end they still couldn't beat the little devils, alas..."

"Don't underestimate us. We know how cruel the frontal battlefield is. We are not officials. We have fought on the battlefield." Si Xuanyi said as he sat on the side. Now that there is no one left, I can't help but feel a little sad.

"Where is it?" asked the old horse, obviously not convinced.

"Myanmar." Li Siming said on the side, "In the forest, there are not only devils, but also swarms of mosquitoes, leeches, wild animals, and infectious diseases that can kill people at any time."

"Where did you come back from?" The old horse was obviously very surprised, and he immediately said seriously, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I underestimated you before."

"You grow fast enough." Zhao Chenggong almost pinched his nose and ate the canned food, but after taking a few bites, he seemed to find that it was not so bad, because he couldn't smell it anymore, it was almost the same as chewing. Wax makes no difference.

"I respect heroes the most in my life. You are the ones who fought against the devils. You deserve respect." Ma said solemnly.

"How long are we going to hide here?" Li Siming asked, obviously he didn't feel much respect for the old horse.

"I don't know whether these ghosts are searching or passing by. Let's stay a little longer. I'll go and have a look later." The old horse shook his head, "The devils feel threatened since they sent troops to search, and they are worried about being attacked on the road." The old horse Throw the cigarettes to everyone, "Don't worry about smoking, smoking in this place will not float out."

"Are you sure it's safe here?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"Don't worry, this place is not so easy to find." The old horse said confidently, "Even if you find the other two holes and you can go out, there is little possibility of trapping us."

"It's still a bit crooked." Zhao Chenggong rummaged through things while eating.

"It's a pity that there are only about 20 rounds of bullets, which are of no use at all." The old horse said, "Look, you can take whatever you think is useful."

At this moment, the farmer hissed, and pointed to the hole covered by the old horse with stone slabs, "There is a devil's voice..."

Several people immediately pricked up their ears and listened to the movement outside, even the sound of chewing stopped. Sure enough, there was a faint voice of conversation outside, speaking in Japanese, as if they were staying near the entrance of the cave, and Not passing.

Was it discovered?They don't understand what they are talking about. One is that they don't understand Japanese. The only old horse who knows a little bit can't understand what is said outside. After all, the distance is far and the voice is too vague. The two devils stayed outside, seeming to be chatting. The nerves of several people tensed up, and they slowly held the guns in their hands, worried that the devils would find the entrance of the cave.

The old horse threw down his cigarette butt and stomped on you. He lay down at the entrance of the cave and listened out for a while, then turned around and said in a low voice, "It seems to be chatting, there seems to be the sound of water, they... are peeing."

"Damn!" Zhao Chenggong cursed in a low voice, "Scare me!"

"Hush..." The old horse told him not to speak and continued to stretch his neck to listen to the movement outside.

There was a voice laughing and talking about something, as if talking about something happy, the old horse frowned, and gently moved the stone slab away, and suddenly there was a flash in the dark hole, as if Someone bumped into the barrier at the entrance of the cave. They were startled, thinking they had been discovered. The old horse and Si Xuanyi in front immediately raised their guns and aimed at that side. They soon smelled a smell of urine It blew in from the outside, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart, it's not a good place to choose, but I chose this place to pee.

After a while, the outside became quiet, wondering if the two devils had left.

I don't know how long it took. The old horse patted Si Xuanyi and signaled him to go out and have a look. Si Xuanyi suggested that he wait a little longer, don't be in a hurry, so many people don't go there so quickly, in case the little devil finds that the hole is open Zhang Yang just kept his hands outside. If that was the case, wouldn't he have fallen into the trap of the little devil if he went out now?

The old horse waved his hand to indicate that he knew what he knew, and then slowly crawled out with the gun in hand.

Several people stared outside in fear. In the total darkness, they couldn't see anything except the faint light at the entrance of the cave. They could only hear the slight sound of the old horse's clothes rubbing against the cave wall.

I don't know how long it took, but the old horse came back. Because the cave was too narrow to turn around, he had to crawl back backwards.

"Still outside..." the old horse said in a very low voice.

"Still outside? Why don't you leave?" Zhao Chenggong also asked in a low voice.

"I'm resting, but I chose this place, his grandma's." The old horse cursed in a low voice, obviously he was also very helpless.

"Maybe there is enough light here, everyone keep quiet and don't make any noise." Si Xuanyi said to the others.

In fact, everyone knew what to do without him asking. This was a time of life and death, and no one was so stupid as not to know how important it was to keep quiet.
