"Walking the Savage Mountain? I knew you would say that. Albert's answer did not surprise Tang Cheng, and it turned around into the Indian border via Savage Mountain. Tang Cheng didn't think about this route at the beginning, but now there are many wounded people in the team, including himself, and with so many wounded people walking on Savage Mountain, Tang Cheng is not completely sure.

Seeing the worry in Tang Cheng's heart, Albert smiled, "The materials found here are enough for us people for a month, as long as we save a little, these things are enough to support us for 40 days." It won't take 40 days to enter the Savage Mountain from Mengguan to the Indian border, we can slow down and recuperate while walking, as long as we avoid the Japanese troops encountered along the way, 40 days is enough time for us to reach the Indian border. ”

Tang Cheng took out the map and looked at it carefully, what Albert said was not unreasonable, but Albert was obviously too optimistic, completely ignoring the other dangers that might be encountered on the way. And the 40-day journey Albert mentioned is only a straight line distance on the map, what if you encounter cliffs, rivers or swamps on the way? Only Tang Cheng and their manpower can't cope with that kind of terrain at all. Moreover, the horror of the Savage Mountain is not comparable to these jungles now, even the local people in Myanmar do not dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Savage Mountain, and Tang Cheng is worried about whether his people can safely cross the Savage Mountain.

"Tang, I remember that you have an old saying in China, that as long as you have a heart, there is nothing difficult. Now that we've come here, life in the jungle is not difficult for us people, as long as we have a clear goal and a clear route, I think it will not be difficult to cross the Savage Mountain safely, after all, we already have enough supplies. Albert could see that Tang Cheng's heart had been shaken, and he immediately continued to persuade Tang Cheng to change his original course.

Tang Cheng did not give an answer immediately, but waited until he went out to change the guard, and called Hou San and Dice to join him. "Lao Ai chatted with me for a while in the afternoon, and he said that the Japanese army was probably already in control of the Hukang Valley, and our plan to take Sun Bubang to climb the Gaoligong Mountain was very dangerous, and he wanted to persuade me to change my route and go to the Indian border in the Savage Mountain." Hou San and Dice were both Tang Cheng's reassuring people, and when Tang Cheng talked to them, he naturally didn't have those worries.

Speaking of Albert's people, the dice who have been serving as the scouts of the front are not familiar with Tang Cheng and Hou San, after listening to Tang Cheng's words, Hou San immediately smiled and said, "Of course you don't know what old Ai has in mind, then India is also the territory of the British big nose, and if they go to India, they will go back to their own home, of course they don't want to follow us over the mountains and mountains." Follow us to be called Huazi, then it is cost-effective to go to India to be a big man, and the big deal is to break up with them, let's go to various places, without them, we may be safer. ”

"I said, you squeaked, I didn't see me looking at you." Hou San, who was waiting for the dice to speak, couldn't cry or laugh, and the dare lover didn't listen to him and Tang Cheng at all, and only cared about fiddling with the sniper rifle in his hand. Dice now has nothing else to do except fiddle with his sniper rifle, and he doesn't care about the discussion between Tang Cheng and Hou San at all, he just needs to follow Tang Cheng, as for how to return to China, Dice doesn't worry about it at all.

"What do you want me to say?" The dice that were lightly kicked by Hou San turned his face to look at Hou San, his face full of confusion and puzzlement. "What ideas can I have, I just follow the chief, as long as I have a gun in my hand and bullets, I can save our chief's life, don't tell me anything else, I don't have any good ideas." The reaction of the dice made Hou San beat his chest very much, this product is unreliable, he asked in vain, it was in vain.

"Sir, although we have become a rout, but in the end we are also Chinese, as the old saying goes, fallen leaves must return to the roots, we will die on our Chinese territory, follow Lao Ai and them to India is what is going on." was glared at by Hou San several times in succession, and then the dice muttered a few words, which meant that he had agreed with Hou San's meaning, and wanted to follow the original route to bypass Sun Brabang and then climb over Gaoligong Mountain to return to China.

When he first encountered the Japanese search force in the jungle, Tang Cheng did not want to go to India. But at that time, Hou San's sentence made Tang Cheng immediately dispel this idea. Although these people are routs, they are also pure Chinese. The indigenous concept of the Chinese is very pure, that is, to die on the soil of their own country. Tang Cheng also guessed why Hou San said that he and Albert went to different places, and after seeing the battle tables of those British soldiers, Tang Cheng actually didn't want to be in the company of those arrogant British.

However, the actual situation did not allow Tang Cheng to make a decision casually, and according to the information provided by George, there were already many Japanese troops in the Sunbrabang area. Albert also speculated that the Japanese army might have taken control of the Hukang Valley, and regardless of whether Albert's speculation was possible or not, the Japanese search forces encountered one after another had already proved that the Japanese army had the intention to control the Hukang Valley. The area of Hukang Valley is not small, if the Japanese army wants to control such an area, the troops stationed will not be smaller than the wing-level troops, the wing-level Japanese army is not something they can provoke in Tangcheng, one is accidentally stuck by the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi and the dozen or so people are not enough to stuff the teeth of the swarming Japanese army.

Hou San and Dice obviously didn't think of this, their military literacy was inferior to Tang Cheng, and it was impossible to expect them to make a correct judgment on the overall situation, so it was Tang Cheng himself who made the final decision. Tang Cheng, who had been meditating, couldn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, and when he got up early in the morning to eat, Tang Cheng gathered the rest of these people together. "Although the amount of these materials is not very large, it is enough for more than a dozen of us to use it for a month, and now there are two roads in front of us, one is to climb the Gaoligong Mountain according to the original plan, and the other is to go to India by Savage Mountain."

As soon as Tang Cheng's words fell, the rest of the people were divided into two groups according to their own insistence, Albert and his British troops naturally insisted on going to India on Savage Mountain, while Hou San insisted on returning to China on Gaoligong Mountain. Tang Cheng didn't explain, just opened the map and explained the advantages of each of these two routes, "Walking Savage Mountain, although it is dangerous, it is precisely because of the danger that we can avoid more Japanese troops, take this road, we only need to deal with the dangers in the jungle." ”

"Bypassing Sunbrabang and crossing Gaoligong Mountain to return home, this is the route we designated when we left Mandalay, George has confirmed that Sunbrabang fell into the hands of the Japanese army, which means that when we bypass Sunbrabeng, we are likely to encounter the encirclement of the Japanese army, resulting in casualties." Tang Cheng put down the branch in his hand, took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked. "The pros and cons of the two routes have been told to you, and now you need to make your own choice, which is related to your life and death after all."

Tang Cheng taught the latter three autonomy to make their own choices, which seemed to be a compromise and embarrassment, but in fact he was forcing Albert and them to follow him. Most of these dozen people were Chinese, and Albert and his number were far less than Hou San's gang, so the result of free decision could only be to go to Sun Brabang according to the original plan. Albert had no choice but to pinch his nose and promise to follow Tang Cheng all the way, but he couldn't help them go separately, because Albert didn't have the confidence to take his soldiers to the Indian border alive.

"Okay, since most people agree to take the original route, let's go pack our things, let's set off in a while, and continue to Sunbrabeng." Successfully forcing Albert and them to abandon the route of Savage Mountain, Tang Cheng's face did not show much joy, because he knew that walking Sun Brabang was full of dangers. In Tang Cheng's view, the Japanese army is far more dangerous than the Savage Mountain, and the Savage Mountain can still leave bones after eating people, and the Japanese army will even eat the skeletons.

Approaching Mengguan, there will already be sporadic Burmese people along the way, with Tan Fei, a guy who can speak Burmese, Tangcheng They will be able to learn some news about the Japanese army from these Burmese people. The situation was not too good as Albert expected, a unit of the Japanese army appeared in Mengguan a few days ago, and many British troops stationed here had already evacuated, and Tangcheng had to choose to bypass Mengguan to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army here.

Bypassing Meng Pass, Tang Cheng and them have to go into the wilderness, not to mention that the speed of travel is not fast, and it also makes Tang Cheng and their injured people miserable. "Tang, I said that taking Savage Mountain is the right route, and it is too dangerous to go to Sunbrabeg." When he stopped to rest, Albert came to Tang Cheng's side, and he still insisted on walking the Savage Mountain.

"Lao Ai, I'll just say you're a fool. We're already tired of walking through these wilderness now, if we enter the Savage Mountain, do you think we can still be good? Maybe the Savage Mountain didn't go out, maybe our group would have folded in the Savage Mountain a long time ago. Before Tang Cheng could speak, the military doctor who was squatting beside him to check on Tang Cheng's injuries laughed. More than half of the dozen or so of us have injuries on our bodies, so why did we enter Savage Mountain in such a situation? The drought locusts attracted by the smell of blood on their bodies can't be carried by even good people, let alone them. ”

The military doctor's words made Albert not insist on his opinion, because he knew that the military doctor was right, the current condition of Tangcheng was not very good, most of them were injured, and there was really no way to travel long distances in the jungle in such a situation. After a while, Albert stopped talking, Tang Cheng secretly gave a thumbs up to the military doctor, those words just now were taught by Tang Cheng to the military doctor, he just used the military doctor's mouth to reject Albert's insistence.
