Hu Yi looked decisive and waved his hand impatiently at Wu Shitou, who was carrying an engineering shovel: "Bury him!" A dumbfounded Luo Fugui was half-sitting in a long shallow pit, his Czech-style light machine gun being buried with him. The utensils were usually placed beside him in the pit, and a straw ball was stuffed into the muzzle of the gun: "Wait a minute! Boss Hu, I don't think I can do it!" "Then come out and bury me!" "Why isn't it you? Me? Why is it always like this? " "Didn't you say that there are only two good people with machine guns? What should I do?" Hu Yi nodded expressionlessly: "It's reasonable to worry." He turned to Ma Liang and said, "Let's bury Tang Dago again." Then he looked at Luo Fugui: "Is there still a problem?" "I stillmaybe. The Japs are so close to me that they can't even use the machine gun. I think" "There is a chance." Hu Yi waved to Ma Liang again: "Hey, Boss Hu, that's not the problem. If that big horse's hoof steps on me, I won't" As an audience member, Qin You couldn't stand listening any more, and darkened his face towards Luo Fugui in the pit: "Are you done yet? Do you want to bury the whole company with you? "Come on, come out, bury me first!" Luo Fugui finally had no choice but Wu Shitou began to use the shovel to bury Luo Fugui shallowly, leaving his nose and mouth open, and covering it with grass. Looking at this obviously uncoordinated piece of ground, Qin You asked Hu Yi: "Should we handle it more carefully? It's a bit conspicuous." "That's it! The cavalry scouts are very cautious. Even if they find out, they will think it is a trick we left behind. Thunder or trap, so the last worry of the mule is unnecessary. The scout will just avoid it and won't take the initiative to cause trouble. " "Is this the idea that Gao Yidao came up with?" "Yes" Hu Yi turned around and said, "The rest is over! Looking sideways at his back and Zhongzheng rifle walking in the desert, Qin You sighed in a low voice: "You." To the northwest, nearly two miles away, behind a gently undulating slope, a Japanese soldier stood on the ground holding the reins. , placing two war horses side by side; another Japanese soldier stepped on a saddle with each foot, standing high on the horse, holding a telescope toward the southeast; more than ten meters away, another Japanese soldier rode a war horse and carried four weapons with one hand. Four carbines, bored looking at the scenery. This should obviously be a four-person investigation team, but now, one of the riders has left. ¡ ¡ Before sunset, the increasingly thickening slanting clouds caused the western sky to turn blood red, and the sky turned into large patches of floating gray scales, rarely blue. More than a dozen fast horses were galloping in the faded wilderness in the sunset, as arrogant as the wind. The first horse in front of them was the Japanese cavalry captain. The horses ran toward the southeast. He kept looking at the afterglow in the west, wondering if there was night rain, and he didn't know if it was raining at night. Who is worse for rain? On the southeastern horizon, little black shadows gradually appeared. As the distance approached, it gradually became clear. They were more than a dozen resting horses, and there were a dozen Japanese cavalry resting tiredly in the grass nearby. Seeing the cavalry captain who had stopped his horse, he jumped off his saddle, and a cavalry second lieutenant immediately came up to him: "Group Thirteen discovered them. Looking at the tracks, they should have turned due south from here. I have just sent a new group to follow the tracks south." The captain was stunned: "Is there no further position report from the Thirteenth Group?" "Here you go over there and have a look." A minute later, the cavalry captain stopped next to a horse corpse. This unlucky horse at least He was shot seven or eight times, and there was another horse corpse nearby, as well as the corpses of two cavalry scouts. Going forward, forty or fifty meters away, there was a third horse corpse. A dozen meters in front of the horse corpse, the third horse corpse was turned upside down. The corpses of the three cavalry scouts, judging from the extremely uncoordinated head direction, showed that he had broken his neck before being shot. Seeing the captain staring at the horse corpse without saying anything, the second lieutenant reminded: "Based on the time, they are within ten kilometers to the south!" Then he stared at the captain and waited for the answer. Should he continue to wait here for the cavalry groups to merge, or should he immediately start chasing? Unexpectedly, this group of Eighth Route Army survived another day! The cavalry captain raised his eyes and looked south. The sky in the distance had dimmed. Maybe half an hour later, he wouldn't be able to see how far away. He unfolded the map again, compared and compared, and measured again and again: "They will definitely pass through the Meixian Highway tonight. This is the most beneficial choice for them! Immediately send people to Meixian County to report the latest position and movement of the Eighth Route, and readjust Deployment. The scope should bethe southeast fan area of ??Meixian County, with the road from Meixian County to the east as the north and the road from Meixian County to Xinglong Town as the west. By tomorrow morning, the Eighth Road must be within this range, and the radius will not be large! Contact our two auxiliary battalions and ask them to continue southward until the Meixian Highway. Then they will be temporarily dispatched by the Meixian Patrol Team." The second lieutenant had no choice but to ask: "Should we give it a chase now?"We can catch up! " "What can I do if I catch up? A distant appearance before dark? Do you think they can't run fast enough? Give them a whip without pain and give them new motivation? Kogoro, calm down. The goal of the cavalry is time, not the enemy. Think about it, how long have they been marching? Do you think they can still operate at the same speed tomorrow? We'll definitely see them again tomorrow, maybe at noon tomorrow. Tomorrow will be much easier than today! " "What if they turn east tonight and escape further? " "That's a good question! That would make the hunt even longer. I am more inclined to believe that they will turn westward and appear on the north-south line from Meixian County to Xinglong Town tomorrow morning. Kogoro, not all people who are running away will panic and choose their own way. I can bet you this time! "At this moment, the cavalry captain's horse snorted not far away, and the straight-line distance from Hu Yi's Zhongzheng rifle bumping behind his shoulder was 7,651 meters. In the early morning, the sky was so dark that there was no moon. , not even a star was visible, it was all covered by clouds, and the time was unknown. A few miles east of Xinglong Town, the military camp that had been turned into a temporary concentration camp was still a military camp during the chaotic mutiny. Many people were killed unjustly. There have been countless replacements. Although the military camp has been restored, the people have changed. There are few old people, either transferred or captured. The training camp for new recruits has just concluded. The playground in the military camp is brightly lit with torches, and there are three hundred people standing in the dark. There are many soldiers, and the new battalion commander is loudly announcing the phone order he just received: the Eighth Route Army fled into the southeast of Meixian last night, and the troops stationed in Xinglong Town must cooperate with the blockade operation and set off to the north to establish a blockade along the road with the friendly troops heading south from Meixian. After the heroic words in front of them, the Juma was raised at the gate of the military camp, and the team roared out with torches, yawning and still sluggish. When the team came out, the two puppet soldiers guarding the gate blocked the Juma again, and again. Returning to the dim lantern at the base of the door, he sat leaning against the wall with his arms in his arms and said, "Are you crazy? How could there be so many Eighth Routes? It sounds like the Eighth Route Army is everywhere! I couldn't stop sleeping. Hey, do you think so? "The other one put his hat on and was too lazy to answer, and continued to sleep under the wall. I don't know how long it took, maybe before dawn, there seemed to be footsteps coming on the road outside the gate. The puppet soldier who spoke before yawned and pricked his ears. , stood up with a rifle, and poked his head out of the gate from the wooden fence: "Who is it? " "I'm looking for someone. "A figure was very close, approaching the weak light range next to the gate. He stopped cautiously and spread his arms to both sides to indicate that he was not a dangerous person. The puppet soldier still pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded the bullet, and pointed the muzzle of the gun towards him through the horse. People: ¡°Stop talking nonsense! Are you a ghost or a human? Stand closer, can you hear me? "The visitor had no choice but to take two steps closer and stood outside Juma. The lantern beside the door could already illuminate his whole body. He was covered in gray and dust, which made the puppet soldier frown: "I see you are wearing a suit like this. ? " "I don't even know what I'm wearing, but I picked it up anyway. I'm really here to find someone. It's an emergency! Please help me call Mancang out. " "I said, do you know where this place is? I" Before the puppet soldier could finish his words while holding his gun, the man next to him who was sleeping with his hat on suddenly jumped up, stepped out of the wooden fence to look at the person, and his eyes almost fell to the ground: "Brother Ma Liang? " The visitor smiled tiredly outside Juma: "Mancang, how are you? "The gun was finally put down by the puppet soldier, and the feelings were really real! Another person came and asked Mancang across Juma: "How many people are left in your military camp now? " "Nineteen. " "Full whistle? " "After the battalion commander goes out, it is estimated that the four-corner sentry will be the only one left. " "Is there a way to solve the problem without firing a gun? Mancang subconsciously looked back at the military camp: "This there is a way." How many people do you have? " "More than 200 people, I really can't walk anymore, I have nowhere to stop, I have to stay. " The puppet soldier next to him had already been stunned. At this time, he reluctantly picked up his chin: "Wait a minute! Youhethis is" Mancang then turned to look at his colleagues and said with shame: "He is from the Eighth Route Army. I am alsoan eighth grader. " The visitor who was not on the horse side also turned to look at the puppet soldier: "Keep your voice down! Don't make blind gestures with your gun again, lest someone behind me misfires! ¡±¡
