Chapter 112: The Scourge of the Megalith
There is a mountain vine blocking the road in front of you that looks a little weird, this guy looks dangerous, and he must not touch it! Chiyo Kato secretly admonished himself in his heart. When he walked up to Yamato, Kato deliberately raised his legs and stepped over with big steps.
Look, just be careful, what mines are not mines? You can get out of the way! Jun Cao was secretly smug. "Ouch!" An exclamation came from behind him, and Chiyo Kato's heart shrank suddenly, and when he looked back hurriedly, he saw that the foot of Private Ono Ichiro who was following behind him happened to trip on the mountain vine that he had carefully stepped on!
Stumbling over Yamato, Onoichiro's body lost his balance and staggered forward two steps. Fortunately, Chiyo Kato was in front, and Jun Cao reached out and grabbed this reckless private, "Ono." Be careful! "Isn't it careless to march on such a road? Looks like you've lost too little!
Jun Cao reprimanded Ichiro Ono twice, and suddenly remembered the mountain vine. Hey? This mountain vine doesn't seem to have any ambush! Ono Ichiro's kick just now had already kicked the suspicious vine out of its original position, isn't there no explosion, everything is normal! It looks like I'm suspicious! Chiyo Kato breathed a sigh of relief.
"Plop, flutter." A strange voice came from his ears, and Chiyo Kato and Ichiro Ono glanced at each other, and the two of them looked up together along the path of the sound. I saw that there were a few green vines on the mountain wall next to me swaying slightly, and the sound was the fine mud and sand thrown off by the green vines. It seems that the vine on the road is part of the vine on the mountain next to it.
Above the mountain vine, there is a boulder weighing at least a few tens of tons, but the part exposed to the outside of the mountain is not much smaller than an ox cart, and the mountain vine is drilled out from under this boulder! The sand and gravel that slipped down were almost all from the same location.
"The troops are moving faster!" When Guncao saw the boulder, Captain Yamada also saw the boulder. A rock so big that it hangs over a person's head, and if one of them accidentally comes down, it will kill you! Captain Yamada, out of animal sensitivity, instinctively realized the danger and immediately gave the order for the troops to hurry over! As long as the troops pass, the big rock can fall whenever it wants, and it has nothing to do with him.
Yamada and Second Lieutenant Shimizu walked together, and as they walked, they looked up to see the giant lying cow stone on the uphill slope. Fortunately, there was an orderly next to him who reminded the two commanders to adjust their pace and pointed them out the direction of walking, which avoided the tragedy of the two devil officers who only looked up to do research and accidentally fell into the cliff.
Chiyo Kato and Ichiro Ono ran over quickly with the spearhead squad, and Captain Yamada and Second Lieutenant Shimizu also walked smoothly under the big rock with a group of sub-attachés from the squadron headquarters. At this moment, I heard "Boom! "There was a loud bang like a thunderclap! Yamada and Shimizu looked up in shock, and suddenly saw a scene that they would never forget.
I saw a dazzling light suddenly shine from the bottom of the boulder above my head! The boulder, which was comparable to an ox cart, as if a prehistoric giant beast that had been sleeping for many years had been awakened by someone, shook violently, quickly rose up, and casually revealed its true face on the mountain wall more than ten meters high - a black and white super boulder the size of two ox carts!
The bottom half, because it is buried in the mountain all year round, the stone is covered with mud, and it is a little damp, and the color is relatively dark; The upper half is due to the fact that the stone has been exposed to the sun for many years, and the color of the stone is a little whitish. Usually it looks inconspicuous, but now it suddenly pops out of the mud, and it looks like a stone with two colors.
A stone coming out of the mud was nothing, but he wasn't in the right place for this guy. This boulder is halfway up the hill, more than ten meters above the 45-degree slope of the Japanese officers and soldiers! The boulder jumped first, about half a meter high. Of course, it could be one or two meters tall. This guy was so big that it was impossible to determine how high it jumped at that time, but the boulder stopped for half a second after jumping, and then suddenly split into three pieces, each larger than a buffalo.
Just three boulders larger than a buffalo carried countless gravel and dirt all the way down, bouncing halfway through, bringing down more gravel and sediment. The boulders jumped and roared and rolled down all the way!
"It's a landslide! Run! I don't know who shouted, and the devil who was stunned by the sudden change immediately blew up the nest! The frightened devils cried and shouted for their mothers, and fled in all directions. But this is in the mountains, and the mountain road is so wide, even if you want to run in all directions, where do you flee?
Running forward and backward is a way to live; To the right? On the right is the mountain wall, and above is where the boulder comes down, and you can't hide from it, who will lean on which side? The mountain road on the left is about two or three meters outward, and it continues to be a gentle slope down, and there are panicked devils who follow the gentle slope and slide down the mountain. Originally, the slope was not steep, and under normal circumstances, it was not necessarily necessary to suffer any serious injuries if you slipped down, but this time the situation was different, and the devil who slipped down the slope just slipped down the slope less than a meter, and the large and small stones that went down the slope from the mountain arrived!
Countless rockfalls, large and small, just like meteor showers in the last days, smashed down according to the devils' heads and faces, and the ghosts who were running away let out a desperate ghost cry before they died, and countless devils instantly turned into minced meat!
The devil who was hit by a small stone fell down the hillside dizzily, and as for whether he was dead or alive after going down, whether he was missing arms and legs or was directly smashed into a meatloaf, it depends on how well the so-called gods enshrined in the shrine take care of these latecomers. This is lucky, but even more unfortunate than this is that it was directly hit by a falling boulder, and then there are really no bones left.
The most unfortunate tragedy appeared right in front of Lieutenant Shimizu's eyes! At the time of the explosion, the second lieutenant and Captain Yamada had just walked directly below the boulder. Due to the high IQ of the two of them, they reacted relatively quickly, and when they heard the explosion and saw the boulder above their heads shaking, the two devil officers began to run. Unfortunately, man's speed is no match for the power of nature. Under the influence of gravity, the boulder sweeps through all obstacles with thunderous momentum and lightning speed!
Second Lieutenant Shimizu was the first to be hit, and a stone about the size of his thumb was smashed on the back of his head! The lieutenant had a headache and a dazzle, and sat down on the ground. A few meters away, Captain Yamada saw that his classmate, friend and confidant was injured, and quickly wanted to come over to help. Who knew that at this moment, a black shadow carrying a vicious wind suddenly fell from the sky, like a mythical evil spirit descending into the world, and suddenly enveloped Captain Yamada in it! That black shadow is a piece of granite bigger than a buffalo that came down from the mountain!
