Zhao Jinyu, who was riding a horse, saw that Wei Ran and Tian Xiaohu were both silent and guessed the reason.
"Let's get out!" Tian Xiaohu said, but pulled the reins and stopped.
Seeing this, Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu also stopped quickly.
Shaking the reins and catching up, Tian Xiaohu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Jinyu, "Take this letter and give me your grenade."
"What are you going to do?" Wei Ran immediately realized something was wrong, and Zhao Jinyu retracted his hand just before taking the envelope.
"Don't waste time"
Tian Xiaohu directly stuffed the feather-covered letter into Zhao Jinyu's horse's saddlebags, "Give me the grenade quickly! I will cover you when you go out. Those locks are not resistant to explosions. Wait for me to tear them open."
When you are surrounded, you should run down the mountain immediately.
As long as you leave the encirclement, you can use grenades to blow them up, and I will take the opportunity to run out."
"Okay, throw me half of the grenade!" Wei Ran responded happily at this time.
Seeing this, Tian Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took off the Japanese backpack containing all the grenades.
However, before he could open it, Wei Ran leaned forward and grabbed the backpack!
"Hey! You..."
"You run out, I'll cover you!"
Wei Ran said, already shouting at the black horse under his buttocks to run forward, and at the same time said loudly, "I have a way out, just hide after you escape!"
"This is not..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Wei Ran didn't give them a chance to continue talking, "Run! Run! We don't have many chances! Run with the special code!"
Gritting his teeth, Tian Xiaohu shook the reins vigorously and shouted at the dazed Zhao Jinyu, "Run! Run!"
Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu glanced at Wei Ran in panic, gritted his teeth and spanked the horse's butt hard, urging it to start running like crazy in the forest full of snow.
The three of them once again distanced themselves from the enemy who had just climbed up the ridge behind them. Wei Ran, who was riding at the front, was always paying attention to the situation ahead, and at the same time, he adjusted the range of the grenade in his hand to the closest.
Soon, before they saw anyone, the three of them heard shouts and curses coming from directly in front of them.
Obviously, the bandits who were responsible for blocking them were doing their job without putting in any effort, and made it clear that they did not want the anti-alliance fighters to break out from the direction they were responsible for.
Or to put it more bluntly, these guys just want to get this year's dividends and go home quickly. Who has the heart to kill the Japanese in this ice and snow?
While pulling the reins, Wei Ran also said loudly, "Squad Leader Xiaohu! Exchange horses with me! Hurry! Jinyu, give me the box cannon you just captured! Hurry!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already dismounted, opened the Japanese backpack, took out a grenade and stuffed it into the grenade barrel.
"Must survive!"
Tian Xiaohu said and jumped directly from the back of the mule to the back of the black horse. At the same time, Zhao Jinyu also handed Wei Ran the seven-nail box cannon he borrowed from the bandit who reported the news not long ago.
"Quick! Run! As the young master of the Cao family, use black words to tell them not to shoot!"
While Wei Ran reminded them, he had already pressed the trigger of the grenade!
"Boom! Boom!"
After the extremely close explosion, the shouts of the gangsters on the other side suddenly turned into panicked exclamations.
Weiran didn't care about that. After stuffing the second anti-personnel grenade, he immediately deflected it slightly and pressed the trigger.
"Tum! Tum! Tum!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three more anti-personnel grenades were fired in a row. Wei Ran, who had only the last anti-personnel grenade and the last three lights on hand, immediately put on the hand-held flower mechanism and galloped towards Zhao Jinyu and Tian Xiaohu.
Triggers were pulled on both sides of the back!
Under his life-threatening suppression and the sporadic, or even symbolic, counterattacks from the bandits, Tian Xiaohu and the two of them, who had been shouting something in slang, at least seemed to have managed to escape smoothly.
Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately picked up the grenade thrown at his feet and fired the last anti-personnel grenade behind him. Then he put the remaining three lights into his arms and put the grenade on his back.
Then he turned over and mounted the panting mule, and began to move laterally along the mountainside.
While running, he tied a cloth rope to the seven-nail box trigger he had just borrowed from Zhao Jinyu, and tied the other end to the saddle to get ready.
"Da da da!"
While moving, he also squeezed the trigger of the jacquard mechanism in his hand, fired randomly towards the side, and directly emptied the remaining bullets in the magazine.
After running for a long distance, he steered the mule past a lush pine tree and pulled the reins to stop.
He straightened up and leaned forward to grab the branches of the pine tree. While climbing up, he also let go of the seven-nail box cannon tied with a strip of cloth.
"Bang!"
Under the influence of gravity, the seven-nail box cannon fired a bullet. The mule was also frightened. After jumping on the spot, it spread its hooves and began to jump wildly.
But as he ran wildly, the box cannon, which was only tied with a cloth strip, fired bullets one after another with the bumps, and one of them even hit the mule's thigh——
This undoubtedly speeds up its running speed.
But at the same time, Wei Ran had nimbly stepped on the branches and climbed up to the crown of the pine tree, pressing his body tightly against the trunk, eliminating his own outline.
He was not sure whether this method could be used to evade it, and for this reason, to be on the safe side, he replaced the flower machine made by the Daku Factory with a new magazine.
In less than 15 minutes, he heard the shouts of the Japs and puppet soldiers. A moment later, he even saw with his own eyes a small group of Japs on sledges or skis chasing the horseshoe prints to the foot of the tree, and then
He followed the horse's hoof prints and chased them all the way down.
After waiting patiently for a moment, Wei Ran ventured down from the tree, stepped on his skis as fast as possible, and ran towards the top of the mountain ridge against the marks left by the Japanese.
They arrived at the top of the mountain ridge without any danger. He hid behind a pine tree and carefully observed it. Until he was sure that there were no enemies surrounding them on the other side of the mountain ridge, he climbed up as quickly as possible.
Reached the highest point of the mountain ridge.
However, he did not rush to escape. Instead, he took out the grenade again, punched it straight up and down on the ground, then took out a flare and stuffed it in, and decisively pressed the trigger!
"Boom!"
After firing the position-declaring flare above his head, Wei Ran took out a Japanese grenade from his pocket before putting the grenade on his back again, pulled out the safety pin, knocked it hard on the grenade, and then
Throw it out with force.
"boom!"
The slightly dull explosion was replaced by the shouts of the Japanese, puppet soldiers and bandits everywhere in the forest, but Wei Ran had already stepped on his skis, lowered his body on the slope and slid down quickly - with Zhao Jinyu and Tian
Xiaohu went in a completely opposite direction.
"Bang!"
Seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the mountain on this side of the mountain ridge, Wei Ran did not forget to take out the box cannon and fired another shot at the top of his head, as if he was afraid that the enemies behind him would not be able to catch up.
After running like this for more than half an hour, Wei Ran finally stopped firing to lure the enemy. After roughly determining the direction, he began to run in circles toward the vicinity of Langcaozi Valley.
It was the only place where he could see Hu Bazhi, Zhao Jinyu, Tian Xiaohu and others again. It was also his only familiar terrain and the only chance to survive.
Behind him, the Japanese, puppet soldiers, and bandits were still chasing him along the sled marks he left.
If there is a drone looking down from a high altitude at this time, it will be found that the bandits who are chasing are getting fewer and fewer.
A few of them were so evil that they even had the guts to chase after them. They would suddenly draw their knives and beat the puppet soldiers or Japanese soldiers who were passing by them to death. They skillfully stripped off their valuables and then put their bodies into a tree nest.
As soon as he stopped, he turned around and disappeared into the deep mountains and forests on his skis.
Wei Ran didn't know about this situation at this time. Even if he knew, he didn't bother to analyze whether the bandits were helping him or just for their own benefit.
If he had the energy, he would even want to wonder whether Zhao Jinyu and Tian Xiaohu survived.
But in fact, how can he have more energy at this time? Even if there are not that many people chasing him, don't forget that the main force chasing him is either riding a mule or riding a mule sledge, which is not like him.
He relies on his two legs to push forward.
With increasingly rapid breathing, Wei Ran climbed up a mountain ridge again on his skis and poles, and then immediately rushed down the slope on the other side of the mountain ridge without even caring about resting.
He was waiting, waiting for the snow to fall hard enough, or for the wind to become strong enough. If neither of these came, he would have to wait for it to get dark as soon as possible.
He looked back behind him and then at the top of his head where snowflakes were still falling. After his skis had used up the inertia of sliding down the mountain ridge, Wei Ran stopped beside a birch tree, holding on to the trunk of the tree and breathing heavily.
gas.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
As soon as the sound of gunshots behind him reached his ears, the trunk of the birch tree that Wei Ran was holding on exploded with a crater as big as the palm of his hand.
Subconsciously shrinking down, he had no choice but to start running again, trying to widen the distance between the two sides as much as possible before the enemy who had just climbed to the top of the ridge behind him rushed down.
In this almost endless pursuit of each other, time passes slower and slower.
Wei Ran had to change direction again just before he was about to return to Langcaozigou, and continued to drill desperately into the deep mountains and old forests.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the snowflakes falling in the sky became much larger. Soon after, even the strong wind carrying the snowflakes flying became much stronger, especially when the wind came from behind!
Not long after, his figure was completely covered by the wind and snow. He even used ski poles to open the hem of the dog-skin coat he was wearing, turning himself into a kite without a rope to gain extra power!
With this small advantage, after changing directions several times, he finally completely shook off the pursuers behind him.
It's just...just at this time, he has almost lost his way.
Even so, he did not stop, but tried his best to glide in the direction of Langcaozi Gorge, using the cover of the wind and snow as much as possible.
Unknowingly, the sky with snowflakes still flying above his head became darker and darker, and the heater in his cotton-padded clothes gradually stopped emitting extra heat. Correspondingly, Wei Ran felt colder and colder.
Taking off the snow-proof blind glasses that Hu Bazhi had given him and putting them into his arms, Wei Ran looked around, stepped on his skis to the edge of a thick pine tree, put away his skis and got in carefully.
He took out the anti-Japanese sword and chopped to expand the space. After spreading all the cut branches under his feet, he immediately took off his dog-skin coat and took off the Japanese backpack behind his back.
In this life-saving bag, in addition to a lunch box of frozen and hard braised pork rice bowl, there was also a jug of gasoline that was taken out of the Japs' truck at the mass grave, two Japs cans, and the Japs used to operate on the wounded.
A knife, even some Japs candy bars and a few packs of cigarettes, plus half a Japs marching blanket to fill the space so the contents wouldn't dangle around.
First throwing two candy cubes into his mouth, Wei Ran, who was trying to calm himself down, immediately poured a cup of gasoline, carefully poured it into the extinguished stove, relit it, and stuffed it into his pocket again.
This wasn't over yet, he then pulled off another Japanese army blanket and used it as a scarf to wrap most of his face and neck, and then put on his thick dog-skin hat again.
After waiting for a moment, he cut off some strips of cloth to use as wicks and lit them in the Japanese army's aluminum cup that still had half a bowl of gasoline left. Then he took off the lid of the lunch box and put some snow on top.
Taking advantage of this rare moment of rest, he was also thinking about the current situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no doubt that rushing back to Langcaozigou as quickly as possible is the best choice. I just don’t know if Zhao Jinyu and Tian Xiaohu survived.
Hu Ba asked if he had sent the message.
It is certain that although they were surrounded, it also showed that the Japanese were really attracted.
In other words, the camp of the first guerrilla team should be safe for the time being. This is probably the only good news that can be confirmed.
At least the supplies weren't damaged...
Wei Ran muttered to himself, leaned against the cold tree trunk, and patiently waited for the ice and snow in the lid of the lunch box next to him to melt and boil. He also took off his jingtan shoes, took off his foot wraps, and baked them patiently.
After a short rest, Wei Ran drank sips of the boiling water that he had boiled and placed on the snow to cool down, put on his jingyang shoes again, immediately packed up all his things, stepped on his skis again and continued towards the wolf trough in his memory.
Moving forward in the direction of the ditch.
However, what he didn't expect was that this time he had been running on skis for less than an hour. The wind and snow that had helped him hide his whereabouts before had become stronger and stronger, so that shortly after he climbed over a mountain ridge, he
I completely lost my way.
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, gritted his teeth and walked for more than half an hour, finally finding a corner with leeward direction.
Once again he chose a pine tree that was strong enough. After getting into the tree nest, he took out his anti-Japanese sword again, chopped off the extra branches in the dark and poked them into the snow on the edge, and then cut off more thin branches.
It was spread under the feet.
Before he could take out the sailor bag from the metal book, he noticed that there seemed to be faint lights flashing in the woods in the distance.
grass!
You're not going to run into the encirclement again, are you?
Wei Ran was startled and quickly put away his weapons and equipment, then stepped on his skis again and observed carefully.
Soon, he noticed that the light did exist, but there was only one.
After thinking about it, he finally lowered his body and carefully closed the distance between the two parties on his skis. At the same time, he gradually saw clearly that it was a horse, a horse with a lantern hanging on the saddle, and a horse with a lantern hanging on the saddle.
A...dark horse!
broken!
Wei Ran felt a chill in his heart and hid in the shadow of a tree to observe carefully.
There were many things hanging on the horse's body. In the area that the oil lamp could illuminate, there was a figure with his back to him, who was busy slicing three large stars next to each other in a Z-shaped pattern.
Build a shelter among the pine trees.
After a moment of hesitation, Wei Ran continued to carefully close the distance between the two parties under the cover of the wind and snow.
Soon, when he had reached the other side of the black horse that he was extremely familiar with, he was already sure that this horse was the one he gave to Tian Xiaohu. Especially in the gun bag, there was even
With that devil's cavalry rifle stuck in it.
But looking at the person on the other side of the horse who is still busy, Wei Ran can be sure that the other person is definitely not Tian Xiaohu, let alone Zhao Jinyu. This person is much stronger than them!
After a moment's hesitation, he quietly put the skis on his feet and the ski poles in his hands back into the metal book, then walked over with the box cannon, and before the other party turned around alertly, he pressed it against the back of his head and flipped it off.
His dog-skin hat revealed a flower-mouthed pick hidden here.
"Put your hands up," Wei Ran reminded.
After a moment's hesitation, the man slowly raised his hands, and at Wei Ran's signal, turned his body.
Glancing at the frozen beard on the opponent's face, Wei Ran first took away the opponent's box cannon, and then took out the second flower-mouthed gun from the gap between his Kowloon belt and his body.
Finally, after touching his lower back, Wei Ran, who had already turned behind him, said, "Take out the dagger from your boots or cuffs."
After a moment's hesitation, the man flicked his sleeve, and a Japanese bayonet flew out and stuck into the trampled snow at his feet.
"There are no green balls in the boots," the bearded man said, raising his hands again.
"Where did the horse come from?" Wei Ran took a step back and hid his body behind a thick pine tree and asked.
"Picked up"
"Where did you pick it up?"
"Left behind by the fleeing Resistance Alliance"
“Where are the fleeing resistance fighters?”
"Dead, shot to death."
"Where did he die?"
"Died in the woods"
"Can you find it?"
"I can't find it. It's windy and snowy, and the lost line has slipped."
"Where did those things come from right now?"
“It was also thrown away by the Anti-League people.”
"You didn't tell the truth"
"Every word is true"
With his back to Wei Ran, the bearded man said, "The world is one family. If you don't mind playing the piano, why don't you sit down and talk in circles. If you don't live together, you are your relatives."
"Okay"
Although Wei Ran said this, he did not put away his gun, "Put up your shack, it's freezing cold, so I won't help.
