Chapter 207 Escape From Ascension (3) [For Elway 3/5]
In the biting cold wind at midnight and the heavy snow in the sky, Hu Biao took the lead and rushed out of the city gate.
Then, one after another, members of the Zhongzhou team followed the footsteps and walked out.
But after rushing out of the city gate, facing the representative land of freedom that had long been covered with snow outside the city, everyone would unanimously look back and take a look.
Mainly in the city gate hole, the T-34/76 tank with scars all over its body still stayed there, with its long barrel pointing in the direction of the city.
As long as they saw this scene, they felt indescribably relieved.
The reason is simple, Bianrou and Qingtian stayed.
They had to block such a critical position to buy time for Hu Biao and others to evacuate.
Therefore, for these teammates who are willing to risk their lives to gain a chance to escape for themselves, it is fully worthy of Hu Biao and others to pay their respects.
The only difference was that when the swordsman turned back, he shouted:
"Bacon, Qingtian, come out and take a picture. It can be a souvenir at least~"
After saying that, he took out an old-fashioned "Zeiss SLR camera" produced by Germany from a carefully wrapped leather box on his chest.
This thing was bought by the swordsman at a huge price during the one-month repair period after the last mission.
That's because the trophies captured from the Japanese on that machine were lost when the swordsman died in the Luodian battlefield.
By the way! During that mission, the team lost a lot of equipment, including the 38-inch cap and 2.5x lens that the middle-aged warehouse manager had used for a long time.
Under such a shout, Qingtian and Xianyu got out of the tank without any restraint.
Qingtian was even worried that he wouldn't be able to take the photo, so he still tried his best to straighten his body and straighten his wrinkled military uniform.
Bianrou, the sullen witnessing man, took out a floral handkerchief from somewhere, spat out "Bah, bah~" and wiped it on his face that was already covered in gunpowder smoke.
But even so, after barely being wiped clean, his face was still blue and swollen from the cold, which really didn't make him look decent.
In the end, it took about ten seconds to sort out the two of them as much as possible. They were holding the scarred tanks respectively and facing the camera with a faint smile on their faces.
After all, after going through several missions, these things are not like the proud cock-like POSS they showed when they were photographed during the first mission.
Understanding this kind of subtle pretense is a better state.
Then, because I didn’t bring an obstructive external flash this time, I was originally worried that the light would be insufficient and the swordsman would be photographed as a black shadow.
Suddenly, I was surprised to find that not far from the city gate, a Japanese flare was fired into the sky, illuminating everything in the city gate.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the swordsman pressed the shutter with a 'click~' sound.
Let the tanks and soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles in the city gate, all this is settled...
Trampling on the thick snow on the ground, Hu Biao suddenly stopped in his tracks amidst the sound of "rustling~" footsteps.
Then looking at the terrain in front of him, Hu Biao began to think.
In fact, if we think about it seriously, after Hu Biao and the others left the city, they only walked a few dozen meters before they chose to stop.
Because after Hu Biao and the others left the city, it didn't mean that the surroundings were a wilderness with no human traces at all.
In fact, after so many years of development and life, a large number of poor people who rely on urban life have settled outside Fengtian City.
They cannot afford to live in the city where the cost of living is higher, so they can only choose to live outside the city.
Therefore, after Hu Biao had to pass through such a dark slum, there was a vast white wilderness.
Next, after passing through a large area of wilderness due to long-term firewood cutting, and a large area of harvested cultivated land, we finally reached the old forest that the Hu Biao were looking forward to.
In the end, only after getting into the old forest, they were a little safer.
For a moment, the question of which direction to go and how to better get rid of the chasing soldiers who would definitely catch up suddenly came to Hu Biao's mind.
Just when Hu Biao was about to speak, brainstorm with everyone in the team, or ask Chen Dong and other locals.
As a crisp bell rang, several large black shadows appeared in front of them and quickly approached them.
Instinctively, the Zhongzhou team, a bit frightened, picked up their guns and prepared to fire.
Fortunately, in the first moment, Zhou Kai shouted: "Everyone, please don't shoot. It should be the response personnel we arranged. They are here now."
Sure enough, when those people got closer, Hu Biao and the others discovered that the so-called black figures were actually four horse-drawn sledges.
The person driving the sledge at the head was the old man with a hunchback who looked very old in the Laoma Shan goods store.
But at this moment, the old man with a shell gun with a large nose on his waist was hunched over, and there was an indescribable murderous look on his face.
There is no longer a time to deliver steamed buns and big lump porridge to Hu Biao and others in the mountain goods store.
That one looks harmless, like a bad old man.
Only when he looked back and forth in the crowd with longing eyes, and couldn't see the presence of Lao Ma, his eyes were full of sadness.
Then, he took the other three middle-aged men driving the sledge and made a move that shocked them:
Suddenly, he lay down on the snow, facing the direction of Fengtian City, and started kowtowing his head continuously with a "kaka~" sound.
After doing all this, the hunchbacked old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and began to yell:
"Let's go, don't delay~"
Amidst the shouts of the hunchbacked old man, Hu Biao and others got on the sledge one by one.
Then, with the force of these people's whips, the pulling horses began to trot again. Speaking of which, this was the first time for a country bumpkin like Hu Biao to ride on a sledge.
As a result, when they felt the sledge sliding on the snow, the speed far exceeded their running speed.
Thinking that he should be able to get rid of the Japanese pursuers, Hu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that they were finally basically safe, because under the heavy snow and strong wind at the moment, the traces of the sledge would soon disappear.
By the time the Japs chased Bianrou and the others out, they probably wouldn't even know which direction they had gone.
That way, the pursuit will be even more difficult.
At the same time, when the sledge passed through the dense shacks on both sides, Hu Biao could faintly feel how many timid eyes were staring at him in those shacks.
It was precisely this that stopped Hu Biao from exchanging some landmines and throwing them directly on the ground in the thick snow.
Because he can completely believe that the Japanese will be able to capture the nearby compatriots and let them go ahead to clear mines...
Just when Hu Biao and the others had successfully passed through the slums, the sound of machine guns on the other side of the city gate began to ring out.
Then, the sound of the 76mm tank gun firing clearly reached their ears.
All this made everyone on the sledge know that the Japanese pursuers had appeared in large numbers, and Bianrou and the others started fighting again.
But no one can tell how long such a battle will last.
However, what they didn't expect was that such a battle lasted for a long time. Until they ran all the way far away, the sound of gunfire could not be heard at all, and the sound of artillery was also faint.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering hugging sound came, letting them know that Bianrou and the others were completely screwed.
Only when the T-34/76 tank, which was temporarily stuffed with more than a dozen Japanese explosives, completely exploded, would there be such a movement.
After realizing this, everyone headed in the direction of Fengtian City and took off their helmets and hats.
Farewell! The city where they fought to the death.
Farewell! Those comrades who stayed here after being shattered to pieces.
