Chapter 51: Circumvention

A gentle breeze blew, blowing away a trace of mist in the open field below the slope. The green lawn immediately showed a sporadic yellow, damn it, there was really a Japanese ambush. The dotted Japanese troops were undoubtedly visible in the grass, and the earthy yellow uniforms of the Japanese soldiers were so conspicuous in the green that Tang Cheng couldn't even find them. The short Japanese soldiers were bent over and marching in the grass, I don't know if they found Tang Cheng and the others on the slope, but the direction of these Japanese soldiers was the slope.

"Grenades, prepare to throw grenades to blow up these shit." The Japanese troops at the foot of the slope were still far away, and one of the scouts lying beside Tang Cheng had already shouted in a low voice, only to be interrupted by a wave of impatient dice.

"Don't drag us if you fucking want to die, the little devil obviously has more than a small team, just a few of us want to kill more than 100 people, don't you want to die early and be reincarnated?" The dice picked up the binoculars and looked down the slope a few more times, then turned to look at Tang Cheng, who had not spoken. "Sir, let's withdraw, fight with them, we can only suffer by ourselves, it's a big deal that we bypass here, there is not much left from Ledo, and we can't afford to leave our lives here."

Tang Cheng didn't want to leave like this, but after carefully considering the dice, Tang Cheng also had to admit this fact, they really shouldn't fight with the Japanese army now, and returning to Liedo as much as possible is the right way. "Withdraw" Tang Cheng glanced down the slope with some reluctance, and then the first one turned around and left quickly. The speed of the Japanese army under the slope was not very fast, Tang Cheng and his party increased their speed, and they had already left the slope far behind after only a while, even if the Japanese army climbed the slope now, they could not find their trace of Tang Cheng.

"Hurry up, there's Japanese troops coming, let's get out of here quickly." The group hurried back to the temporary camp, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, first extinguished the bonfire that the soldiers had worked so hard to ignite, and then forced these guys who had not completely dried their uniforms to continue on their way. Many people, including George, didn't know what they were crazy about at first, but as soon as they heard that it was the Japanese army coming, the soldiers who were originally aggrieved hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to leave.

After a brief moment of panic and tidying up, the re-on-of-the-road team retreated a mile back and then rounded the flank, preparing to make a detour and then bypass the lawn in front of them. Everyone went back into the wet woods, and a few wounded guys were caught in the middle of the group, and the military doctor examined their injuries, as long as they were free to die. After walking a short distance in the woods, everyone's bodies were wet again, and the cool breeze blew, and everyone shivered.

Yanlong and Wu Shan, the natives, were still at the forefront, as if this position had always been theirs. Yan Long, who had already switched to a submachine gun, kept his finger on the trigger, and the bullet had already been loaded, so he could fire as soon as there was a situation. This was taught to Iwalong by the U.S. military police during the time of Ledo, and it is said that it is very effective in the event of a sudden encounter, at least it can temporarily suppress the opponent's firepower at the moment of contact. Wu Shan tried his best to lead everyone to the low places in the bushes in the woods, although there were fewer places where they could hide at any time, but it also reduced the favorable terrain where the enemy could ambush him. The front of the woods began to become clearer, and he was about to walk out of the woods, but Wu Shan, who was exploring the road in front, slowly squatted down and made a hidden gesture.

"Something is wrong ahead, I'm afraid it's a little devil." Wu Shan followed and touched Yan Long whispered, although Wu Shan's Chinese language was still not smooth, but Yan Long understood it. He made a gesture to Wu Shan and waited here, and the rock dragon with a submachine gun dodged to the flank alone, and then slowly touched in the direction that Wu Shan did not dare to judge with the help of the cover of shrubs and weeds. Iwalong is no stranger to searching alone, and when he left Mandalay, he and the dice were the scouts, and the woods were full of dangers, even if there were not so many Japanese troops.

Tang Cheng, who was walking in the middle of the procession, had also joined Wu Shan at this time, and learned that Yan Long had stepped forward to search alone, Tang Cheng had no choice but to order to stop and rest and wait for news from Yan Long. The rock dragon who was walking alone saw the artemisia grass shaking not far in front of him, and immediately judged that this shaking was not wind, but the kind of situation that only happened after it was obviously hit by something. But what exactly was inside, he couldn't tell for a while without looking closely.

The rock dragon did not hesitate to continue under the cover of artemisia grass and shrubs, and when he approached the grass, it was empty, and there was nothing to be seen. The dragon crouched down to check for traces in the grass, and the shape of the grass did not look like that of a larger animal like a wild boar. Because these animals pass through the grass, they will only squeeze forward, and even if they are upside down, their shape can be seen at a glance. However, the current situation in this grass is not like that, although the area of their lodging is not very large, but the traces of being trampled on are also narrow, and under closer inspection, there are traces of footprints.

Seeing this, Yan Long was shocked, and immediately distinguished that this was done by a human based on experience, thinking, and then, he found a few broken branches on the ground, and then picked them up and examined them. You don't need to ask anything, you can see at a glance that it was done by a human, because the reason for its breaking is obviously different from that of a large animal. The rock dragon compared the broken branches to the artemisia grass that was still standing upright, and the rock dragon found that the broken branches were broken by people, because their height matched the natural stretch of the upper limbs of the human body.

Slowly exiting the grass, the rock dragon returned to the starting place along the same road, the rock dragon had already returned, and Tang Cheng and the others all dodged out of the hiding place. Everyone gathered around the rock dragon, and they wanted to know what the rock dragon had found in front of them, especially the anxious dice had already opened their mouths to ask, "What's the situation ahead?" ”

Yan Long took the kettle handed by Tang Cheng and poured a few sips before answering the dice's inquiry, "There seem to be people, but I haven't found them anywhere." When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Tang Cheng, just a lot of kung fu, and they encountered a group of Japanese soldiers, could it be that the Japanese army has already sent troops to seal the India-Myanmar border?" I followed the trails and saw no human figures, but judging from the traces of the weeds being trampled, there were not many of them. Yan Long's subsequent additions did not make everyone's face better, but Tang Cheng, who listened to it, ordered to take a detour again.

Everyone returned to the team, and Tang Cheng immediately gave the order to set off and continue to advance. Although the forest was foggy again, the visibility of the scouts in such conditions was very poor, which was very unfavorable for enemy situation and terrain observation. However, this is also beneficial, at least everyone can take advantage of the cover of this fog to avoid the Japanese army that may be ambushed, and pass through some unsafe areas. It was necessary to take advantage of the foggy weather and make more of a short distance in the dense fog, and under Tang Cheng's strict orders, everyone ran out of breath.

He couldn't stop and rest without Tang Cheng's order, although he knew that doing so would make everyone's body consumption very large, but in order for more people to survive, Tang Cheng had to force himself to harden his heart. At last they passed through an open field in a thick fog, and the scouts who explored the way ahead were nervously waiting for everyone at the mouth of a valley, and it was safe to pass through the valley, and the birds were chirping out of nowhere, as if they were on the mountains on either side. Everyone was wary of running and had to run as lightly as possible, but it was a fortunate thing that there were no enemies in the grass or on the hills on either side of the valley.

After Tang Cheng and his party marched through the valley, there was a mountain forest on the right, and an open field on the left. Tang Cheng ran a few steps, passed the line that was walking in the middle, and caught up with the dice and others who were walking in front. Under the leadership of Wu Shan, everyone marched along the foot of the mountain on the right, and after running for long, they entered a mountain beam. The mountains were sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, becoming more steep, and Tang Cheng looked up and looked around. The white fog was cloudy, and the visibility was less than 30 meters, so it was impossible to judge the terrain at all.

After running along the mountain for a while, through a large area of grass, a fork in the fog finally appeared, and a mountain full of trees crossed in front of me. Seeing that there was a fork in the road, Tang Cheng fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, and now even if he met the Japanese army, it didn't matter, so they went directly to the opposite mountain. The journey never stopped, and the soldiers were all so tired that they were panting, and Tang Cheng immediately ordered to stop and rest at this fork in the road.

"Everyone checks their equipment, fastens the straps, and especially the ones that make a sound. Now everyone checks on each other! Move fast, check it out, and let's go! Tang Cheng didn't want to stay here for too long, about ten minutes later, Tang Cheng ordered to continue to set off again, and the weak soldiers complained a lot, but they didn't dare to say much under the suppression of Hou San and them.

The waist-length grass was so dense that there was no sign of anyone passing here, and the weeds even had dew beads on their branches. When a person walks around, he touches it slightly, and the dew-stained grass branches rattle. Although it was a poor sight in the thick fog in the grass, everyone still looked around vigilantly, and the birds chirped monotonously and noisily in the fog, and the sound of fluttering wings and flying in the fog was heard from time to time. Soon everyone went up to a ridge. It was a wide ridge with visible grass interspersed with sparse and low bushes that were supposed to be nesting for birds.

The further up the hill became, the more difficult it became, and there were small hills everywhere, one after the other, and I didn't know where to go. In the end, Tang Cheng and the others had to estimate and move in the direction of the compass and choose the nearest junction of the two mountains. The grass grew denser and denser, and the scouts, who had been cautious, found no trace of human inhabitation, but only heard the sound of birds everywhere, and some were startled, and they flapped their wings from one side of the hill to the other, and they could see it very clearly.
