Probably due to the personality of the Westerners, George's words were no less than Liu Shishi, who was far away in Kunming, and a few hours later, no one in Tangcheng called George's tongue-twisting name, but another name for this energetic and big nose, Huang Mao. George was obviously a little resistant to his new name, Tang Cheng said that's good, I'll change it to a less derogatory name for you, how about talking about it, George thought for a while, and finally thought that it was better to call Huang Mao better.

"God, are you sure you're going to Gaoligong Mountain?" Knowing that Tang Cheng and they were going to climb the Gaoligong Mountain and then cross the Nu River to return to China, George's eyes widened. "You know that I am a pilot, I can fly in mid-air, naturally I will see farther than you, you must know that the Japanese army of Luo Butou has already appeared on the front line of Gaoligong Mountain, and it will be difficult for you dozens of people to climb the defense line of the Japanese army in Gaoligong Mountain, and there is still a long way to go from here to Gaoligong Mountain, I don't think you can cross Gaoligong Mountain alive just by eating wild vegetables."

George's outspokenness did not attract Tang Cheng's rebuke, because he knew that the American big nose was right, and it was true that wild vegetable soup alone could not sustain their bodies. However, the Japanese army had already stationed troops on the front line of Gaoligong Mountain, which surprised Tang Cheng, and he didn't expect the speed of the Japanese army to be so fast. The route of the later retreat to China has been deduced many times by Tang Cheng, and since Huang Hanju left and returned to Wan Town, Tang Cheng's most careful thing every day is to deduce the plan and find a suitable route.

According to the direction they traveled in Tangcheng, the first town they encountered should be Mengguan, and after arriving at Mengguan, there would be two routes back to China. One is to turn northwest from Mengguan to India, escape from the pursuit of the Japanese army, and the other is the pre-planned route of Tangcheng, turn from Mengguan to the northeast and go up, climb the Gaoligong Mountain, and then cross the Nu River and return to China directly. Since George said that there were traces of the Japanese army on the line of Gaoligong Mountain, it means that Sun Bu Beng had been lost, so this route should not be completed, and the only way to do this is to retreat to India according to the route of the Fifth Army.

Even if he didn't need to open the map, Tang Cheng knew that after turning from Mengguan to the northwest, he had to cross the famous Savage Mountain in northern Myanmar before he could enter India. Savage Mountain is five or six hundred miles in circumference, between late May and October every year, it is the rainy season of Savage Mountain, the rainy season not only makes the gnats and leeches in the forest extremely active, but also the high incidence period of infectious diseases such as return fever, malaria, tetanus, sepsis, etc., and the mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, and miasma of Savage Mountain are even more difficult to prevent.

The route of Savage Mountain was originally Tang Cheng's backup route, a route that would only be implemented as a last resort, Tang Cheng didn't expect that his good luck seemed to have come to an end, and now it seemed that he only had this road left to go. After chatting with George, Tang Cheng did not announce the news that there had been Japanese troops on the front line of Gaoligong Mountain, and only Hou San, who Tang Cheng could rest assured, knew about it. Hou San and the lives of the others had already been tied to Tang Cheng, no matter which route Tang Cheng chose, they would only obey unconditionally.

After all, paper can't contain the fire, and the news that the Japanese army has appeared on the front line of Gaoligong Mountain was inadvertently said by George, and when he learned of this, Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao found Tang Cheng almost at the same time. "Chief Tang, that American big nose said that there are already Japanese troops in Gaoligong Mountain, and it is obviously impossible for us people to break through the Japanese defense line, should we go another way?" The drizzle that started early was already a bit heavy, and Tang Cheng was irritable, so he didn't give Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao a good look.

"These are some texts that were previously captured from the Japanese army, and we don't know if Sun Brabang was lost. However, judging from these texts of the Japanese army, they do have this plan of action, and once the Japanese army captures Sunbrabeng, they will definitely blockade Gaoligong Mountain. Our original route was to climb the Gaoligong Mountain, and then cross the Nu River and return to China directly, but if what George said was true, then we have basically been cut off by the Japanese army to return home. Under the canopy made of several raincoats, Tan Fei, who spoke instead of Tang Cheng, took the captured Japanese military document to introduce Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao.

"I think let's change the route to India, the original route of the military headquarters of the Fifth Army was to withdraw into India, saying that the British were on the Indian border to meet our retreating national troops." Zhou Chao seemed to be talking to himself, but his eyes were glancing at Tang Cheng, he knew that Tang Cheng was the one who really made the idea.

Without Tang Cheng answering, Tan Fei was already shaking his head and looking at Zhou Chao with disdain, "You are stupid, you really think that we are heavenly soldiers and generals." The Japanese army must be waiting for us on the border now, just a few hundred of us, how can we cross the Indian border? Besides, there is a Savage Mountain in between, and even the locals of Myanmar dare not enter it lightly, let alone cross the Savage Mountain to enter India. ”

Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to stop everyone's quarrel, looked up at the rushing rain, and quickly calculated in his mind, Hou San waved his hand and beckoned everyone to retreat quietly. The torrential rain continued to blow, and the routs shivered in their coats of leaves and thatch. The homemade coats and raincoats captured from the Japanese army could only temporarily shelter the rain, but they could not shelter the cold, and everyone hugged each other tightly, looking for warmth.

Pain, cold, and lack of food afflicted the routers, and although HIA did not die of disease, the few medicines available to the military doctors were rapidly consumed. Ma Dazhuang, who was temporarily in charge of logistics, had already begun to complain to Zhao Zhi, and the food stored by the team was also consumed rapidly, and the gruel twice a day was changed to once. There were already very few rice grains in the gruel, but now they can be counted. Hou San's hunting team has returned empty-handed several times, and the beasts have disappeared in the rainy season.

Tang Cheng has been overwhelmed by these things, and the increase in the number of people in the team is a good thing, but the problems that come with it have also increased. Ammunition, guns, food, and diseases all puzzled Tang Cheng all the time, and Tang Cheng touched his forehead helplessly. His heart was full of melancholy, originally it was just a few people, and he was still confident that he would bring everyone back to China. But now that there is half a company in the team, this is indeed a big problem for Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng even feels that with his ability, it is really not enough to lead these dozens of people back to China safely.

"Let's go to Mengguan, and then bypass Sun Brabang and climb Gaoligong Mountain, I don't believe that the Japanese army can completely seal the mountain. With where we are now, it's the closest to go, but it's also dangerous. Sue all the people, and those who don't want to go separately. After thinking about it carefully, Tang Cheng arranged for Tan Fei to inform everyone. Tang Cheng's decision was a stone that stirred up a thousand waves and caused controversy among the rout. Especially Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao, who were unwilling to be commanded by Tang Cheng, had a lot of opinions, they each had their own hands, and the two groups of people who were hooked together planned to start anew.

"Chief Tang, do we have to go from Gaoligong Mountain? Can the current situation of the troops be able to do it? Dong Liancheng, who seemed very excited, pointed to Tang Cheng and asked. Dong Liancheng's menacing approach had already made Hou San and the others very uncomfortable, and the dice should not have saved them in the first place. "If you have to take the road of Gaoligong Mountain, I and my brothers will have to part ways with you." After Dong Liancheng finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Chao, who was still hesitating, and the latter also expressed the same thoughts.

The muddy military boots of the "pop" dice kicked straight on Zhou Chao's buttocks, and Zhou Chao, who was caught off guard, was directly kicked into the muddy water. The dice leaned over to look at the officer who was struggling to get up in the muddy water, and scolded viciously, "You shit, if we hadn't rescued you from the guns of the Japanese army, I am afraid that you would have rotted in the forest a long time ago. ”

Zhou Chao was obviously frightened by the ferocity of the dice, Tang Cheng motioned to Tan Fei to pull up Zhou Chao who was lying in the muddy water, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, my brothers are not sensible." Everyone's situation is not good, I know that. But the rain keeps falling, and we can't always be in the jungle. Now there are only two paths, one is India, and the other is to return home. I tend to return to China, the Japanese army should not have many troops in Gaoligong Mountain, we can go to Mengguan first, and then turn to the northeast and go straight to Gaoligong Mountain. The Japanese army on the Indian border should have been ready for a long time, and we don't have enough people to stuff their teeth, and I don't want my brothers to die in vain. Tang Cheng opened it on the captured map and explained it carefully to Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao.

Now that they have decided to have a showdown with Tang Cheng, no matter what Tang Cheng says, Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao will only regard it as a deaf ear. Don't dare to seize the military power, these defeated soldiers are the bargaining chips for the officers to settle down after returning to China. Only when there are soldiers in hand can the waist be stiff and can we stabilize our position in the army. Under this kind of thinking, Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao forgot about their original desperation, and naturally insisted on parting ways with Tang Cheng and others.

"Shit, shameless thing." The grumpy sieve and brute bull one by one, twisted Dong Liancheng and Zhou Chao like catching chickens, threw them all into the muddy water as soon as they raised their hands, and stepped on their big feet covered with muddy water. Zhou Chao just wanted to shout, but he was stuffed with a mouthful of mud, and the wolf bèi lay in the muddy water. The soldiers under the two wanted to come over to dissuade them, but they were stopped by Hou San and Yanlong brothers, who had flattened the muzzle, and in the face of the loaded muzzle, the routers could only choose to retreat.
