Lin Haixue and Wei Ran took advantage of the night battle to scare away the Japanese in a way that was close to deception.
However, he did not stop there. Instead, he stepped on his skis, almost like driving a pig, and from time to time he would shoot at him from all directions, or let out a series of strange screams that would scare wolves, urging him to
The Japs retreated faster.
After helping them march in a hurry for almost 15 minutes, Wei Ran decisively let go and began to walk back in a circle. At the same time, he also untied his collar to release the accumulated heat in his body.
As for the sweaty Japanese running for their lives behind them...
Now the enemy they faced was no longer Wei Ran, a veteran of K-series night battles, but the low temperature of this vast forest and snowfield.
Hurrying back to the Japs camp as quickly as possible, Wei Ran could see at a glance that they had indeed retreated in a hurry. Not only had the campfire not been extinguished, but there were even several wounded Japs who had not yet died. As for the mules that had been killed
Things on the sledge and the sledge were also thrown everywhere.
After a quick search, Wei Ran gained a lot. There were five or six Japanese backpacks alone. He even saw the 8-round ammunition pouches for the grenade on the two wounded.
"Poof! Poof!"
Wei Ran took out his anti-Japanese sword and used it to kill the Japs who had less air in and more air out. Then he took off the ammunition bags he was interested in.
Although only 12 grenades were recovered from these two Japanese soldiers, he was already very satisfied.
However, before he could continue to look for anything useful, there was a faint sound of crossfire from the direction where the Japanese were retreating!
Could it be that Cui Big Beard brought someone here?
Wei Ran was stunned at first, then he was delighted. He picked up the grenade he had just seen, returned to his ambush position, picked up the grenade, and immediately stepped on his skis and ran towards the direction where the Japanese were retreating.
Go and help.
The Japanese were busy escaping, so why didn't he need to join Cui Dabeard as soon as possible?
That not only means that she can get out of this forest sea, but also means that Zhao Jinyu's probability of survival has increased a lot. She may even have a chance to meet the legendary Commander Zhao!
Under the urging of these factors, Wei Ran ran faster and faster on his skis, and the intermittent sounds of firefights became clearer.
"laugh!"
Wei Ran stopped on his skis next to a lying pine tree. After some observation, he walked around behind the Japanese and set up the grenade again.
"Boom!"
As soon as the first grenade was fired, Wei Ran picked up the second one and stuffed it into the barrel.
"boom!"
When the first shot went off, he had already pulled the trigger and fired the second shot.
With such a dense rate of fire, five rounds of high-explosive bombs were fired in succession. The Japanese were immediately blown away and gave up the firefight. They randomly chose a direction and began to flee in a hurry while shouting in panic.
"Is it Brother Cui?"
After chasing the fleeing Japanese and firing two more grenades, Wei Ran hid behind a tree and shouted.
"Is it Brother Wei?" A moment later, a greeting came from the other side.
"Brother Hu?!" Wei Ran immediately recognized the other party's identity!
"It's really Brother Wei!"
Before he finished speaking, candlelight lit up from behind a big tree not far away. Not long after, Hu Bazhi ran out holding an oil lamp in one hand and a flower organ in the other.
"Why did you come here?"
Wei Ran asked in surprise, he thought it was Cui Bearded who was blocked by the Japanese just now.
"I heard the noise here"
Hu Bazhi ran over and explained, "I also saw the cannonball that the Japanese fired at Zhaozhuang'er, so I ran all the way here. Brother Wei, why are you alone? I heard Sister Hongxia say..."
“We’ll talk about the rest later.”
Wei Ran pointed to the corpse abandoned by the Japanese not far away, and said as he ran over there, "Brother Jinyu is injured. Let's go over there and see if there is any use, and then rush back."
"How is he injured?"
After Hu Ba pointed and asked, he stepped on the knee-deep snow and ran towards the direction where he had hidden before.
“The situation is not good”
While Wei Ran hurriedly explained, he quickly searched the surrounding Japs, then cut off their heads with a knife and kicked them far away.
He had just finished his work here when Hu Bazhi also ran over on the big white mule.
Just looking at the headless corpses on the ground, Hu Bazhi didn't ask any questions. He just took some useful captured objects and weapons from Wei Ran and put them on the mule, and then threw him a rope.
Needless to say, Hu Bazhi ordered the mule to run, and started running in the direction directed by Wei Ran.
Returning to the campsite abandoned by the Japanese as quickly as possible, Hu Bazhi was startled by the sight in front of him, "This...is this all done by you two?"
"right"
Wei Ran didn't explain too much, he just pointed in the direction of Zhao Jinyu, "I'll leave it to you here. Find me over there when you get down. I have to light a fire quickly to keep him warm."
"I'll come find you later!" Hu Bazhi promised as he turned over and dismounted.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Ran immediately dismantled several individual tents left behind by the Japs when they retreated, took some unburned firewood and two Japs helmets, and ran towards Zhao Jinyu's house on his skis.
direction.
Fortunately, when he returned here, the two big black horses were still leisurely digging through the snow and nibbling on the lichen, and the tent set up with a parachute cloth canopy was still intact.
After bending down and getting into the tent, Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Jinyu was still alive. Although he was still comatose, had a high fever and was shaking from time to time, he was indeed still alive.
Putting the two lunch boxes with charcoal fire next to Zhao Jinyu, Wei Ran quickly dismantled the parachute cloth that could barely block the wind, spliced together the thicker Japanese waterproof canvas he brought back, and wrapped it around
He built a thicker tent under a tree and lit a bonfire inside the Japanese helmet.
After a while, the tent also became warm, but Zhao Jinyu did not wake up.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It would be great if I could give me the medical kit...
Wei Ran sighed feebly, took out his lunch box, filled it with some snow and some pine needles, and then threw a few Japanese candy cubes into it.
When he boiled the water and dissolved the sugar cubes, placed them on the snow to cool down, and finally poured them into Zhao Jinyu's stomach, Hu Bazhi also shouted at the big white mule, pulling a sledge abandoned by the Japanese and the sledge he had just picked up.
All kinds of things came over following the ski marks.
"What's wrong with him?" Hu Bazhi asked as he tied the mule.
"He was shot and has been shaking." Wei Ran threw aside the lid of the lunch box in his hand, "I just gave him sugar water, I don't know if he can wake up."
"I heard from Miss Hongxia that you followed Cui Bearded? Where are the others?" Hu Bazhi asked while adjusting the sledge.
"lost"
Wei Ran sighed, "Brother Jinyu probably knows what's going on, but we have to let him wake up first."
"Then don't delay"
Hu Bazhi said, "Hurry up and get him on the sledge. Let's leave here overnight."
"Where to go?" Wei Ran asked.
"We can go anywhere, let's go back to Langcaozigou!" Hu Bazhi made a decision after hesitating for a while, "I estimate that we can rush back before dawn. There are a lot of Japs near the forest now, so we can't wait.
Let’s go after dawn.”
"Then let's go now!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ran decisively picked up the unconscious Zhao Jinyu and put him on the sledge cart. At this time, in addition to a thick layer of pine needles and sedge grass, the sledge cart was also covered with
Wearing several pieces of mule skin that had obviously just been taken off.
"Just peeled off"
Hu Bazhi said, "There is also a sledge over there. Let's hitch a horse to that sledge later and take away everything we can."
"You move pretty fast."
While Wei Ran was in admiration, he carried Zhao Jinyu onto the sledge truck, and Hu Bazhi immediately covered him with the cotton-padded clothes he had taken off the corpse not long ago and a thick wolf skin mattress.
When Wei Ran stuffed the newly reheated soup lady into Zhao Jinyu's arms, Hu Bazhi immediately shouted and started running with the sledge truck.
"Brother Hu, what was going on with Captain Zhao when you rushed back?" Wei Ran, who was following behind on horseback, asked curiously.
Glancing at the other black horse following Wei Ran, Hu Bazhi sighed, lit the pipe and took a puff, saying, "When I ran back, the shack was already empty."
"You...what did you say?" Wei Ran felt a chill in his heart.
"That shack is empty"
Hu Bazhi said, "Everyone is gone, not a single one is gone."
"Where are you going?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously.
"have no idea"
Hu Bazhi shook his head, sighed and said, "The snow was so heavy that it covered all the footprints. Not long after I arrived there, gunshots rang out around me. As soon as I ran up a ridge on my mule,
I saw the Japanese and bandits surrounding that den."
"Then what?" Wei Ran continued to ask subconsciously.
"Later, the Japanese took over that den and sent people to chase me, following the mule prints."
When Hu Bazhi said this, he smiled and described it with some joy, "Before I ran away, I saw that the kang hole in the den seemed to have exploded, and the entire den seemed to have been torn down.
Yes, the chimney blew out a large plume of black smoke before it fell down."
"So they escaped early?" Wei Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Must have escaped"
Hu Bazhi said with lingering fear, "Captain Zhao ran away, and I suffered a lot. The naughty little devil chased me for most of the night, and I was lucky not to be caught by them."
"Then you came back?" Wei Ran asked.
"No, I don't know where I'm going. After I got rid of the Japanese, I just went back to Langcaozigou."
Hu Bazhi said, "We didn't even go in when we got there, but I heard from Sister Hongxia that just as you were leaving, I caught up with you without stopping for a moment. I was chased all the way by bandits with special codes who had voted for Japanese.
.”
Hearing this, Wei Ran was somewhat relieved. He had roughly guessed that Captain Zhao might have already made preparations to move when he ambushed the group of Japanese soldiers at the Temple of Wealth.
He could almost vaguely feel that Captain Zhao most likely wanted to use his strength to force Shopkeeper Cao to fight the Japanese before Mao Dong.
The purpose of doing this is probably because Brigade Zhao has noticed that the location of their camp is known to Shopkeeper Cao.
"What's going on with you?" Hu Bazhi asked.
“It’s a long story.”
Wei Ran sighed and recounted all the things that had happened before.
By the time he finished telling what happened, the two of them had just rushed back to the Japanese abandoned camp.
Without daring to delay too much, the two of them loaded the necessary things and part of the mule meat onto the other two sledges, let the two black horses hold them, and left here in the wind and snow.
Compared with the pursuit and interception during the day, the dark march at night was unexpectedly smooth. Not to mention the Japanese puppet troops and bandits, not even a wolf was encountered along the way.
Being cautious all the way, Hu Bazhi led Wei Ran back to Langcaozigou before dawn.
Still without waiting for them to call the door, the iron gate, which was almost completely covered with snow, was opened from the inside - the person who opened the door was the little girl named Yang Shiyi.
"Where's Miss Hongxia?"
While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already joined forces with Zhao Jinyu to lift the still unconscious Zhao Jinyu with a piece of stiff horsehide.
When she saw Zhao Jinyu, Yang Shiyi's pink but dirty little face also panicked. She quickly led them with an oil lamp and whispered, "We
They took turns guarding the door, and they were asleep inside."
"Tell them to get up and move everything in." Hu Bazhi said.
"Yeah!"
Yang Shiyi agreed to Hu Bazhi's arrangement and quickened her pace at the same time.
Before they could carry Zhao Jinyu in, Miss Hongxia, who heard the commotion, also ran out holding the flower-mouthed roller in one hand, "What's going on? Brother Jinyu..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'll explain it later," Wei Ran said, "Let's move the things outside in first."
Hearing this, Miss Hongxia immediately put the gun back into her arms, called to the Sun sisters who had just crawled out of the mine tunnel, and followed Yang Shiyi, who was holding an oil lamp, and walked out.
After moving Zhao Jinyu into the "inner room" of the mine tunnel, Wei Ran checked his physical condition first, and then said hello to Tian Xiaohu, who was also recovering here and had woken up after hearing the noise.
"What's wrong with you?" Tian Xiaohu asked with a frown, "Things..."
"Meet the devil"
Wei Ran responded while checking the other party's wounds, "Brother Cui took the things away. He... I don't know if he sent the things to the commander."
"You don't know?" The expression on Tian Xiaohu's too young face has become extremely serious.
"I separated from them and lured away the Japanese."
Wei Ran recounted their encounter again, and at the same time examined the wounds of Tian Xiaohu and the other two wounded.
Fortunately, both Tian Xiaohu and the other two people seemed to be in pretty good condition, especially the two wounded, who had at least regained consciousness.
While he was busy here, Hu Bazhi had already ran out, helping Miss Hongxia and others move the trophies they brought back into the mine one by one, and carefully disguised the outside of the mine.
"That's probably what happened"
Wei Ran, who had returned to Zhao Jinyu, was helping him take off his shoes as he spoke. Needless to say, the Sun sisters had already added a few pieces of firewood to the clay stove that seemed to have been built not long ago.
He also poured a bowl of boiling hot mule soup with oily flowers on Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi.
"Can he survive?" Tian Xiaohu, who was leaning against the wall, asked.
"able"
Wei Ran gave an extremely firm answer. After hearing this, everyone hiding in the mine breathed a sigh of relief.
After changing the medicine for all the wounds on Zhao Jinyu's body, Wei Ran took off his jingtao shoes and threw them to the clay stove for baking. He sat down with his bare feet and cross-legged, and picked up the still hot bowl.
He took a sip of the hot soup.
"What's next?" Hu Bazhi raised his head and asked.
Unfortunately, as this issue was raised, even the acting squad leader Tian Xiaohu had no idea.
"Wait... wait until Brother Jinyu wakes up."
Tian Xiaohu suppressed the confusion in his heart and said, it is true that he is the acting squad leader, but after all, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
In fact, let alone him, even the two wounded who were older than him were confused and could not see the way forward.
"Are you hungry?"
It was Miss Hongxia who broke the silence, "Shall I get you something to eat?"
"Sorry, Miss Hongxia"
Wei Ran was the first to speak. He was indeed hungry, and everyone really needed something to divert their attention and pessimistic mood.
"What's the trouble!"
As Miss Hongxia said, she had found several Japanese lunch boxes and filled them full of stewed boneless mule meat for Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi.
While he and Hu Bazhi were watching the clay stove chewing meat, Tian Xiaohu and the other two wounded men looked at each other, worriedly looking at the clay stove that was emitting fire, and secretly looking for everyone's way out.
In contrast, Miss Hongxia and Sister Sun couldn't stay idle at all, and they didn't have that much worry at all. After leaving the job of taking care of the wounded to Yang Shiyi, the youngest, the three sisters walked out carrying oil lamps.
Go and take care of the three big, hard-working animals.
"Brother Wei," Tian Xiaohu suddenly said, "Where is the map found from the young master of the Cao family?"
"Here"
Wei Ran said, wiping his hands on his pants, took out the map from his arms, unfolded it and laid it on Tian Xiaohu's legs.
"Go and see if there is a letter to Commander Zhao on Brother Jinyu," Tian Xiaohu said. At the same time, Yang Shiyi also lit a kerosene lamp and handed it over.
"I'll go right away"
Wei Ran wiped his hands again, walked to Zhao Jinyu and squatted down.
However, this time, before he could reach into Zhao Jinyu's arms, the latter reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"You..." Zhao Jinyu glanced at Wei Ran, slowly let go of his hand, and asked feebly, "Am I not dead?"
"I can't die for a moment."
Wei Ran moved away and pointed at Tian Xiaohu, whose face was illuminated by an oil lamp not far away, "We are back to Langcaozigou. Squad leader Xiaohu asked me to see if I have the letter your brother wrote to the army commander with me.
"
"Not here..."
Zhao Jinyu shook his head feebly, and then said, "In the hands of...Brother Cui."
"Where is the flag of the first guerrilla team?" Tian Xiaohu asked.
"In...in me..."
Zhao Jinyu subconsciously touched his chest, and then asked in a panic, "Nine Dragon Belt, my Nine Dragons..."
"It's not lost, it's here."
Wei Ran said, carrying the Kowloon belt with Zhao Jinyu's blood on it from the side.
"The first one on the right"
While Zhao Jinyu was talking, Yang Shiyi had already walked carefully to his side carrying a bowl of rice porridge made with broth.
"Let him lie down, don't let him get up." Wei Ran reminded.
Yang Shiyi nodded after hearing this, sat down next to Zhao Jinyu, scooped up a spoonful of thick rice porridge with a Japanese spoon, puffed out her cheeks and blew it to cool down, and then carefully brought it to Zhao Jinyu's mouth.
While the other party was eating porridge, Wei Ran also found the small flag from the ammunition bag on the far right side of the Kowloon belt in his hand.
When he saw the flag, Tian Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief and asked after a moment of silence, "Brother Jinyu, have you met Commander Zhao?"
"No"
Zhao Jinyu avoided the spoon that was brought to his mouth, and said with force, "Brother Wei... led the Japanese away, I... I wanted to help, so I separated from Brother Cui, I...
I don’t know...Brother Cui’s situation either.”
After Zhao Jinyu finished speaking, the mine fell into silence again.
"Wait a minute," Tian Xiaohu said, "Wait a minute and see if Brother Cui can come back."
"What if it can't be done?" Hu Bazhi couldn't help but ask.
"call!"
Tian Xiaohu did not answer this question, but just blew out the oil lamp, making the still warm mine become darker and more depressing.
"Can we still fight the Japanese?"
Yang Shiyi, who was feeding Zhao Jinyu beside the clay stove, asked softly.
"able"
Wei Ran, Tian Xiaohu, the two wounded men, Hu Bazhi and Zhao Jinyu, and even the girl Hongxia who happened to be walking back from outside with a bundle of firewood, all gave hateful answers in unison.
"Not only can I do it, I have to beat them all away before it's over!" Zhao Jinyu also muttered to himself while holding in his breath.
