Indiana Jones

Chapter 316 Crossing the Highway (05)

The sudden change really frightened several people, and the old horse froze there for a long time, unable to react, but subconsciously blocked the glare of the flashlight with his hand and said something in Japanese.

Zhao Chenggong's first reaction was to fire, but almost as soon as he raised the gun, Li Siming grabbed it tightly. His hand was so strong that he stuffed his fingers into the back of the trigger while grabbing his gun. , making him unable to fire at all.

The little devil was very grunting again and didn't know what to say. The old horse waved his hand impatiently and said another sentence, which seemed to include a curse word.

No one expected that the devil actually put away his gun and left. This was beyond everyone's expectations. Except for the old horse, no one seemed to know what happened.

After the devil walked away, the old horse immediately got up and waved to everyone to go away. Everyone panicked and fled in the opposite direction like the devil. The tossing just now made several people really scared. Although they got away now, it still felt like a dream. The same, followed the old horse forward in a daze.

In this way, the people walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, twisting and turning for more than ten minutes and finally approached the edge of the camp. There was no tent in front of them, it was a jungle. The old horse told everyone to wait a moment, and he went to the front to see See if there is an ambush sentry, the more you get to this time, the more you can't be in a hurry, if you are not careful, you will fall short.

The old horse squatted there and stared at the front without moving. The others were already impatient. What else could they wait for now?If it is really too late to be discovered at this time, it is better to take a little risk and rush over directly. After a while, the old horse pointed to a tree for them to see. There was a hidden Japanese sentry on it, wearing a The raincoat was squatting in the canopy of the tree. If it hadn't been for this guy's movement just now, it would have been almost impossible to find out. This discovery scared several people into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the old horse was cautious, otherwise they would definitely be directly exposed to the enemy's firepower. Unbelievable.

The old horse led them around for a while, carefully avoiding the secret sentry, and then left the devil's camp and went deep into the woods.

Everyone ran for a few miles in one breath before stopping, and finally escaped from that ghostly place. This journey was really thrilling, and I still feel scared for a while in retrospect.

"What did you just say?" Zhao Chenggong was still thinking about how the old horse dealt with the devil just now.

"I said I was shitting, tell them to get out of here." The old horse gasped.

Only then did a few people understand what was going on. This old horse was really calm in the face of danger and saved everyone's life, but the experience just now was too thrilling. If it wasn't for the old horse's quick reaction and unsure of what it would be like to go straight Consequences, I was a little scared after thinking about it.

"Don't you understand Japanese?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"A little bit." The old horse shook his head, showing a look of lingering fear, "Fortunately, it works, otherwise it's really finished."

"Thank you for being calm." Si Xuanyi patted the old horse on the shoulder to show his approval.

"Come on." The old horse smiled wryly, "I almost peed my pants in fear, and it's also a good thing that the devil has an official position, and he's not too old or too young to be a sergeant, otherwise he wouldn't have fooled it so quickly."

"It finally came out anyway." Li Siming also heaved a sigh of relief, "Thanks to you, good job!"

"Come on, I'll wait until the task is completed to be polite. This time I was really hurt by you." The old horse waved his hand with a helpless expression on his face.

"If it doesn't rain, I'll set him on fire so that no one can escape." Zhao Chenggong said bitterly.

"Okay." Si Xuanyi punched him, "There's a bird's feather to say? Even if it's not raining, we can't let the devil reveal his intentions and position because of this, that's the biggest thing." trouble."

"Let's go, we are still under the devil's control, let's leave here first." The old horse stood up, "If they react, it will be troublesome."

"Where do we go next, can we cross the highway?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"There are still more than ten miles of mountain roads to go." The old horse said, "Further ahead is the key defense area of ​​the devils. There are secret sentries and patrols everywhere. If you can pass this level, you can approach the road. You think it is so easy ?"

"His grandma, didn't we get into the devil's lair?" Zhao Chenggong cursed in a low voice.

A group of people continued to march forward in the rain. In fact, there was no road in the woods. They could only grope forward. They didn't dare to turn on the flashlights because they were afraid of ghost letters. Devil's uniform and raincoat are a good cover in this kind of place where devils appear at any time. If they collide with the devil's team, they can win the opportunity and open fire first before the devil has figured out the situation.

This journey was very difficult, walking in this kind of old forest was particularly tiring, coupled with the muddy underfoot, it was almost shaking at three steps, shaking at five steps, rolling and crawling forward, but this was a head-on confrontation with devils It's much better in comparison, now is not the time to fight devils desperately, they have their own tasks and goals, just like that, they trekked in the woods all night and only stopped to rest at dawn, the rain still didn't stop, the next Endless.

"Take an hour rest." Si Xuanyi wiped the water off his face, "The damn weather reminds me of Savage Mountain."

"This is much more comfortable than him." Li Siming looked at the gloomy sky and said, "At least here, we don't have to worry about being eaten. At least here, we still have weapons to defend ourselves."

"It's not so easy to have wolves and tigers." The old horse said while sitting on a tree root, "There are also poisonous snakes."

"Compared to Savage Mountain, this place is like an ordinary campsite, and this threat is really nothing." Si Xuanyi sat on the side with a relaxed face, "So far, everything is going well for us, at least nothing Loss, except for Lin Feng's disappearance."

"You should worry about your injury. It's easy to get infected in such wet weather." Li Siming climbed up a tree far away.

"What's this little injury?" Si Xuanyi said indifferently. In fact, the wound on its back hurts like a fire. I don't know if it's cracked again, but he doesn't have time to pay attention to it now. Li Siming still bears it Yu re-treated the wound with a flashlight. Fortunately, the wound did not burst, but a lot of blood came out again.

When the sky was getting brighter, they set off again. The sun could not be seen in the rainy weather, so the dawn was much later than usual. It's almost uncomfortable. To be honest, as a northerner, Si Xuanyi doesn't like the continuous rain here, especially in the rainy season every year. The feeling of being wet to the bone is really unbearable for a person who is used to being dry.

They walked very carefully along the way. It didn't take long before they found traces left by the activities of the Japanese patrols, as well as some towers and tree houses built on high places. There were at least three or five devils guarding them. much slower.

"Damn ghost place, there are ghosts everywhere." Zhao Chenggong cursed in a low voice as he walked.

"It proves that we are approaching that road." Li Siming wiped the water that flowed into his eyes, "It seems that this road may not be easy to pass."

"This is the devil's defense point. We must find a suitable breakthrough to approach the road. This is different from last time, and it is very troublesome." The old horse was a little worried, and he knew how bad the current situation was.

"This kind of ghost place is not for people to stay in. Why isn't the kid getting moldy?" Zhao Chenggong complained as he walked.

"Shut up, keep nagging, don't you bother?" The farmer finally spoke. The biggest difference between this old man and the woodcutter is that he is more silent, unless he can't stand it, or he will speak when he is participating in a decisive opinion.

"How long until the highway?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"It's up to three kilometers, but there are secret sentries all over here. It may not be so easy to go there. We must be extremely careful. If we are found, we will fall into the enemy's lair. It will not be easy to get out." Lao Ma said.

"Okay, you are familiar with this, you have the final say on everything." Si Xuanyi said.

In this way, they stopped and walked carefully for nearly two and a half hours and did not know how many secret sentries and patrols they avoided before they saw the road. Barbed wire fences were erected over the trenches, and there was a gun tower about a hundred meters apart.

"Those open fields are buried with landmines. There are bamboo sticks and wooden pegs in the ditches. There are patrols on both sides of the road every half an hour. It is very difficult to go there." Lao Ma and Si Xuanyi squatted on a tree and observed. The situation on the other side of the road.

"You must have a way to deal with this." Si Xuanyi said while observing the work situation.

The old horse sighed helplessly: "I hope it hasn't been discovered yet."

"What?" Si Xuanyi didn't understand.

The old horse pondered for a moment: "We have a ditch across the road here, and we can climb through it without the sight of the enemy. It is under the road, but the forests in that area seem to have been cleared. I don't know if the devils have discovered that ditch. Passage, if we have already found it, then we may have thrown ourselves into the trap."

"What do you mean?" Si Xuanyi saw his hesitation.

The old horse looked in that direction again: "Our actions were discovered last time. Although we all escaped, we are not sure whether the devil has discovered that place. If we find out, it will be troublesome."

"En." Si Xuanyi didn't say anything, but followed his guidance to observe the location with a telescope, and indeed found a large area of ​​freshly cleared open space.

After learning more about the specific situation, Li Siming asked: "How do we get to that ditch through that open land? Without cover, we will be directly exposed to the gun."

"The only way is to send someone to keep an eye on the little devil. As long as the sentry is not facing that direction, we will pass, but we can't pass all at once, we need one to come." The old horse said, "This is very dangerous. If it is at night It's easy."

"We can't wait until night." Si Xuanyi said firmly, "We must cross the highway to the next meeting point as soon as possible. Up to now, we have been 18 hours behind schedule."

"Okay." The old horse had a gloomy expression and didn't know what he was thinking.

"I'll stay and watch the devil, you go first, and if necessary, you can directly kill the devil's sentry." Li Siming said.

"It's best not to shoot unless it's absolutely necessary. Once the gun fires, none of us can leave." The old horse began to pack his things, "Leave everything you don't need, and pack lightly."

"Then what to do with these extra bills?" Zhao Chenggong has a lot of extra [-]-cap bullets.

"Let's leave it to the devils." The old horse glanced at it. "Leave them a smallpox with a grenade. Anyway, they can't take these bullets back and use them again."

"Well, good idea!" Zhao Chenggong immediately became excited when he heard it, and he was most willing to do things like harming little devils.

"Let's see if we can put it on the side of the road for a while. It will be more powerful." Si Xuanyi said, "At least it should be close to the road, preferably where devils can walk."

"Don't expect too much. Our primary goal is to cross this road. We must not startle the enemy, otherwise it will be very troublesome." Lao Ma reminded them.

"Don't worry, we know what's going on." Si Xuanyi took off the extra ammunition and threw it to Zhao Chenggong, "I'll put it in the woods behind, and I'll give you 15 minutes."

Zhao Chenggong didn't hesitate to mention the remaining things and ran into the woods. Others immediately started to prepare. The color of the devil's military uniform was too conspicuous. In order to prevent the devil from discovering, they had to turn over the raincoat and the right picture was full of mud. After all, the open land over there is not so easy to pass through, and this method can only be used to reduce the possibility of being discovered.

"Remember not to move around when the devil turns his head. The weather is favorable for us now. If we are careful enough, we can still pass." The old horse said while preparing, "It takes about 30 minutes for the devil to turn around in the gun tower. Seconds, but not all sentries can stare outside, making good use of this time difference and opportunity we can pass smoothly."

"Anyway, it's not that easy." Si Xuanyi simply took off the devil's military uniform inside and stuffed it into his bag. It was the same color as a weasel, which really made him feel insecure.

"Check each other's backs and make sure they're covered in mud," said the farmer, who knew there was a spot behind the old horse that wasn't muddy.

When Zhao Chenggong came back, they had already finished their preparations. After a serious inspection, they started to move towards the space over there. With the help of vegetation, they quickly reached the edge of the open space. Li Siming pointed his gun at the direction of the blockhouse , watching the devil's sentinel through the scope...
