The shouts of "drive~" came out one after another from the mouths of the hunchbacked old man driving the sledge and several others.
With such a shout, the four sledges gradually slowed down, and finally stopped one by one.
In total, at this time, Hu Biao and the others had already been on the road for more than an hour after leaving the city.
During this period, the four horses pulling the heavy sledge never stopped.
That's not right. The team stopped for two or three minutes when passing by a ruined temple. Jason was guided by Lao Wang.
After prying open a floor tile, I found the information.
But even so, under such overloaded exercise, every horse's mouth and nose are now spitting out thick mist, and their whole bodies are dripping with sweat, and they seem to be unable to support themselves.
If we really keep running, these four horses, which are not very impressive, will definitely be killed.
This means that Hu Biao and the others have to get off the bus here, and then they have to rely on their own legs for the rest of the journey.
Fortunately, in such a period of time, they had at least covered a distance of thirty or forty miles from Fengtian City, and now they were at the edge of an old forest.
Moreover, the hunchbacked old man Lao Zhu also brought out the supplies that Hu Biao and the others had left in the mountain goods store, including skis.
Once you have skis, you can make some simple ski vehicles to carry supplies and wounded people.
After Hu Biao and others all got off the car and sat on the sledge, the hunchbacked old man who had no intention of getting off the car, that is, Lao Zhutou, began to speak.
He first cupped his fists and raised his hands to everyone, and then he started to speak:
"Gentlemen, the four of us can only send you here tonight; the young master cannot die in vain. Even though we are not good at it, we still have to go back and kill a few Japs so that the young master will not leave alone.
But you don’t have to worry, I have a map here; as long as you follow the map later, you should be able to pass through the Japanese blockade relatively easily and finally reach the boundary of Mao Zi’s house.”
After saying that, Lao Zhutou clasped his fists again, took out a small bag from his arms and threw it at Hu Biao's feet.
Then with a shout, the horse began to turn around and slowly began to move in the direction it came from, which was towards Fengtian City.
Although their speed was not fast, because the wind and snow got heavier and heavier in the middle of the night, they completely disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was also after seeing these people disappear completely that Chen Dong's voice spoke faintly:
"Lao Ma was originally a young master from Majiatun outside Fengtian City. Lao Ma's family was very wealthy back then. Not only did they own a lot of land, but they also owned many properties and shops in Fengtian City.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lao Ma was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
It's a pity that since the Japs took over the Northeast, Lao Ma's family, who was unwilling to work as a dog for the Japs, was ruined. In the end, only Lao Ma survived, and at the same time, the family fortunes were completely reduced.
In order to avenge his hatred, Lao Ma joined the organization, changed his name and surnamed and lurked in Fengtian City.
Lao Zhutou and the others are not comrades of our organization, they are all old family members who have been raised by Lao Ma's family for decades and have been followed by generations of people."
"In addition! Lao Zhutou has been helping Lao Ma collect mountain goods in various places over the years. It can be said that they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain. With such a map, it can really play a lot of roles.
"
After hearing this, Hu Biao and the others finally understood the situation.
For a time, even though Hu Biao and the others had seen too many tragedies on this land during this mission, they still felt a little sad.
Then, when they thought that they were not completely safe, Hu Biao and the others didn't care too much.
After taking a breath, Hu Biao picked up the small bag on the ground and took out a map from it.
Then, for such a map, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli and a large group of people used flashlights to study the specific routes on it.
After roughly figuring it out, Hu Biao shouted: "Let's go~"
After saying that, he dived into the old forest to the east.
Because according to their research, such a route is the best choice to reach Mao Zi's home boundary as soon as possible, thereby completing the second phase of the mission.
Specifically, it was after walking for about two days.
You can stay away from the dangerous areas around Fengtian City and arrive at the edge of a railway, where there is a train leading to the Suifenhe area.
After arriving here, go all the way east, and you can reach Maozi's territory without a long journey;
It is said that there are Maozi border guards there. As long as they come into contact with these people, Chen Dong and others have many ways to prove their identities.
Following such a route, Hu Biao and the others started walking with difficulty in the old forest.
This was only possible if the wounded, two children, and supplies were pulled by simple sleds.
At this point, the benefits of Hu Biao, Yang Dongli, AT, and Xu Feng, four people with primary bloodline power bonuses, were immediately revealed.
Mainly because despite the extremely difficult trek of others, the four of them seemed to be much more relaxed just pulling the sled forward like big animals.
So along the way, other people in the team are looking forward to the box that will be rewarded after this mission. They hope that they can open one in the future.
Come to think of it, this mission involves team battle elements, which is much more difficult than the last Songhu battlefield.
It can be said that if they had not exchanged for such a buggy T-34/76 tank, they would have been left in the cold by now.
So, if the system doesn’t give you thirty or fifty boxes this time, is he embarrassed?
That's right! Their results this time should be even more brilliant than last time. Not to mention the team battle record of annihilating the Maple Leaf team, they just killed so many Japs, burned so many Japs houses, and even opened fire on the palace.
One shot.
Even if I don’t know the specific results, they should be many and very large. Based on the system’s opaque reward scores and reward statistics, they should be very generous.
Relying on such an expectation, such a small team of about twenty people could grit their teeth and persevere.
As for why everyone doesn’t ski forward, haha...
****
At the same time, many members of the Zhongzhou team could only rely on their expectations for the end of the mission, while struggling to move forward in the old forest that turned to ice.
In Fengtian City, His Excellency Major General Matsudaira, who was born in a branch of the Imperial Japanese family and is a rising star in the Kwantung Army, looked at a piece of statistical data under his command.
Finally, his eyes went dark due to the soaring blood pressure, and he fainted.
The preliminary statistical data report in his hand began to flutter in the cold wind as soon as he let go; in the still burning fire around him, some contents like this could be faintly seen:
First, in terms of personnel, about 2,100 people were killed on the spot, and of the 1,020 seriously injured, one-third should not survive, and another third will be severely disabled.
There were more people slightly injured, definitely more than a thousand people.
The above casualties only included the Japs and the Iron Stone Troops who they had looked at with high regard; as for the other Ergouzi and Heipigou, they did not take them seriously at all.
Second, in terms of equipment, 11 tanks were completely destroyed, and 9 more tanks needed major repairs.
A total of 17 artillery pieces of various calibers were lost, and 13 trucks were lost; the number of other light and heavy firearms exceeded the thousands.
Third, although the mysterious and terrifying tank was not taken away by the thugs, it also eliminated the possibility of them studying it after capturing it.
What the heck! When there was more than a hundred kilograms of TNT inside, and there were still more than a dozen rounds of artillery shells left, and under the power of thousands of bullets exploding, this thing suffered devastating damage.
Even collecting the wreckage doesn't make much sense.
Fourth, the exact amount of damage caused by the cannon that landed in the palace is still unknown; mainly the people who went to inquire received some hesitant and evasive answers.
But something like this is more indicative of a big problem.
Therefore, taking all the above together, the Japanese suffered a staggering loss tonight.
