Chapter 53: Distress (2)

Hearing that Yang Zhen was dissatisfied with Li Mingrui's disobedience to his decision, Zhang Ting, who was opening the first-aid kit bandaged on Yang Zhen's leg and examining Yang Zhen's pale wound blistered by the rain, raised her head, but said in a somewhat resentful tone: "You can't say that about him, this is my request." Don't ask me why, because I'm a doctor and I'm responsible for all the people here. ”

"There are a few of you who are wounded, and they are not in the best of the rest. It rained again last evening, and the mountain breeze after the rain here at night is hard, if you don't quickly find a place to dry your body and drink some hot water to warm your body, you won't be alone if you don't get sick tomorrow morning. When the time comes, it will be impossible for you to speed up the march. ”

"Besides, the wound is rained, what if you don't deal with it, what if you get infected? I don't have any medicine on hand now, and I've only done the simplest thing about it. These wounded people did not even do basic disinfection, and their wounds were easily infected when they were drenched in the rain. ”

Zhang Ting's words to defend Li Mingrui fell, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at the silent Li Mingrui, shook his head and didn't say anything more, struggling to stand up. It's just that he has a high fever, and he doesn't know that he is still naked except for a few clothes on his body now.

He struggled to get to his feet, and the clothes he was covering were shaken off to the ground, and his not very strong body was completely exposed in front of a certain woman. The face of the woman, who was scrutinizing his wounds, was now facing his most critical part. And when he stood up, his thing involuntarily passed over people's faces.

Even if Li Mingrui quickly picked up a piece of clothing to cover him, all the qiē on his body was clearly seen by Zhang Ting. Fortunately, she was born as a medical student, although she saw something that she should never see as a big girl with yellow flowers, and that thing walked around her face, Zhang Ting didn't shout. He just turned his back and looked elsewhere.

When he stood up, he found that he was still naked, his clothes were baking by the fire at this time, and his most secret things all fell into the eyes of a woman who was still a stranger the night before, and Yang Zhen's face couldn't help but be embarrassed.

Li Mingrui was still good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Yang Zhen's embarrassed face, he forced a smile and immediately took Yang Zhen's clothes to help him put them on.

In order to get rid of the embarrassing situation, Yang Zhen, who was dressed, said to Li Mingrui: "Bring me the map, and you bring binoculars to accompany me to the entrance of the cave to observe the terrain and the enemy's situation." If it's really a devil, think about what's next? ”

After explaining Li Mingrui, Yang Zhen picked up a branch as a crutch, didn't dare to look at Zhang Ting again, and limped towards the entrance of the cave.

Hearing that Yang Zhen was going out, Zhang Ting hurriedly turned her head and said urgently: "Your leg has already shown symptoms of infection, and you can't move now." Also, you have a high fever right now and can't blow cold wind. ”

Regarding Zhang Ting's words, Yang Zhen not only did not stop, but accelerated his pace. He really didn't know how to face people, so he simply came to an ostrich **.

Seeing that Yang Zhen listened to his words, instead of stopping, he walked faster and faster, and Zhang Ting, who came up stubbornly again, grabbed his hand and said, "Didn't you hear my words?" Do you really want this leg to be crippled before you can stand? ”

Looking at Zhang Ting, who was dragging herself, her little face flushed, Yang Zhen shook her head and said, "Miss, I'm not going to observe the terrain, what if the devil comes over later?" Are we all going to be stuck here? It doesn't matter if I die or not, but there are still a dozen or so brothers here. ”

"No, you're not the only one who can observe the terrain, isn't there someone else here? What you need now is to lie down and rest, not walk around. If you really think about your brothers, lie down honestly. Yang Zhen's explanation obviously didn't play a role, Zhang Ting dragged his hand, but refused to let go.

Looking at Zhang Ting, who was stubborn and stubborn, and dragged Yang Zhen to the end, although he also wanted Yang Zhen to rest and rest more, Li Mingrui, who knew that the situation was incomprehensible, could only persuade first: "Miss Zhang, don't be angry." Let's be honest with you, except for Chief Yang, no one of us here really knows how to look at the map and the terrain. ”

"Except for Chief Yang, most of the soldiers here were big-headed soldiers before they were captured, and they were basically illiterate, and looking at the map was like reading a book from the sky. And although I am a second lieutenant, I have always been a guard for Chief Guo. I, as a second lieutenant, did not come from the army or go to military school. I recognize the map, but I don't know how to use it. ”

"If those few gunshots were really devils coming, and Chief Yang didn't go to look at the terrain, how could he fight together? Miss Zhang, don't persuade you about this, if you really have a heart, come over and help out. ”

Hearing Li Mingrui's words, Zhang Ting didn't say anything more, just walked a few steps over to hold Yang Zhen and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

was supported by Zhang Ting, smelling the faint body fragrance on Zhang Ting's body that was not drilled into his nostrils, and then thinking of what happened just now, Yang Zhen was somewhat embarrassed. But Li Mingrui didn't step forward, and he had bouts of dizziness from time to time, and he had to accept Zhang Ting's kindness.

Out of the cave, Yang Zhen looked back at the entrance of the cave that could only accommodate one person entering and exiting sideways, and after carefully looking at the surrounding environment, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

The hole is not only small, but can only be entered sideways by one person. And it's nestled in a dense bush, so it's very secluded. The top of the cave is obscured by a protruding rock, and it is impossible to see it from above. With a little camouflage, even if you look below, it will be difficult for people who have not lived here for a long time to notice that there is a cave.

What satisfies Yang Zhen the most is that the topography of this cave is very good. It is located in the middle of a low fault in the mountain, with a slope of at least 60 degrees. Although it is not a cliff, the surrounding terrain is very steep, and ordinary people will not come up lightly.

Li Mingrui walked up to Yang Zhen and said, "Chief Yang, I took a look around here, and the devil will not find it here." The only thing that scratches my head is, what about the horses tied to the mountain? The entrance to the cave is too narrow to be drawn into. But if you put it outside, it's too easy to expose the target. ”

"Just stay there. Even if the devils found these horses, they would never have thought that we were around the horses. When you walk the rivers and lakes, don't you have a saying that it is dark under the lamp? In many cases, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. ”

"The location of the cave is good and the entrance to the cave is very hidden. The only downside is that the valley below the hill is the only slightly larger clearing around it, and it is next to a small river. It's an easy place for devils to recuperate. ”

Speaking of this, listening to the increasingly dense gunshots, Yang Zhen's brows furrowed slightly and said, "Don't think about it, I am definitely a Japanese puppet army now." I just don't know if they found the four dogs, or if they found someone else. The Japanese puppet army chased so fast. ”

Yang Zhen raised his binoculars and looked towards the place where the gunshots rang out. Although the sky is not yet fully lit up at this moment, the whiteness that has been revealed on the horizon makes the visibility barely sufficient. Yang Zhen hopes to be able to observe something useful to him. It's just a pity that the dense vegetation in the mountainous areas of the northeast, as well as the peaks that cannot be seen at a glance, can only disappoint him.

For Yang Zhen, although he hoped in his heart to join up with the main force led by Guo Bingxun as much as possible, he also clearly knew that under the current situation of unknown enemy situation, he must not move lightly. Although it is a shallow mountainous area, the vegetation is dense, and once it is moved lightly, it is extremely easy to ambush. And once he encounters the devil, the dozen or so people around him have no strength to compete with the devil at all.

After observing for a long time, he only heard the gunshots getting denser and denser, but he only heard the gunshots and saw no people, Yang Zhen could only shake his head and sigh, and returned to the cave with Zhang Ting's support.

After returning to the cave, Yang Zhen gave the order to prepare for battle, and then opened the map himself, wanting to study what to do next.

After accurately finding the approximate location he is now on the map, Yang Zhen roughly estimated the straight-line distance between his current location and Daqingdingzi Mountain, but he couldn't help but worry about the main force brought by Guo Bingxun.

These Japanese puppet troops still don't know from which direction, if they come from the Pearl River in the east or from the north, will they encounter the troops led by Guo Bingxun?

I have few people now, so I am so hidden. But he still has seven or eight hundred people there, and his combat strength cannot be said to be completely none, but there are not many. What's more, less than half of them have guns, and more than half have not even the most basic military training.

Looking at Yang Zhen's flickering face under the bonfire, Zhang Ting, who thought he was worried about Liu Sigou and had not heard from him until now, stepped forward and touched his still hot head and said, "You better rest for a while." Don't think too much about it, those two brothers should be fine. ”

For Zhang Ting's comfort, Yang Zhen shook his head and put down the map in his hand and said, "It's not just about worrying about them. These Japanese puppet troops are moving so fast, and they don't know where they came from. If they came from the Pearl River and Yanshou, would they encounter Lao Guo and them? It's too close to the Binsui Railway. ”

After that, Yang Zhen motioned to Li Mingrui to extinguish the bonfire. And he himself closed his eyes and did not speak. It's just a constant thought in my head.

Just when Yang Zhen kept estimating the current movements of the Japanese puppet army in his mind, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the cave, and the brother who went out with Liu Sigou to look for herbs came back. But Liu Sigou did not come back.

Hearing Li Mingrui's voice asking Liu Sigou for news, Yang Zhen, who was still closing his eyes just now, opened his eyes violently and looked at the brother and said, "What about Sigou?" What was the gunfire going on just now? ”

The brother threw the three pheasants he was carrying to the ground, but without speaking, tears flowed down first, and he whimpered for a while before saying, "We went out and wandered around for a while, and it didn't take long for Brother Liu to catch a few pheasants." ”

"Originally, I was going to come back after catching these pheasants and seeing what I could eat for my brothers. But Brother Liu said that Chief Yang still had a high fever, and let's see if we can find some herbs to reduce the fever for Chief Yang. ”

"In order to get herbs for Chief Yang, we searched several mountains to find more. We are all from Guangxi, and we don't know the trees and grass here, and we haven't even seen many of them. Even if it looks like a medicinal herb, I don't dare to pick it back. If you want to find the herbs you need, you can only find more places. But we hadn't gone far, and as soon as we crossed two hills, we encountered the Japanese puppet army coming from the northeast and northwest sides. ”

"Seeing the Japanese puppet army all over the mountains, we didn't dare to retreat immediately after stopping. But just as we crossed a hill, a large number of Japanese puppet troops also appeared in the southwest. It was too dark, and we only noticed the Japanese puppet army with torches and flashlights in the north. The Japanese puppet army coming from the southwest did not see it. ”

"When we encounter the devils from the southwest, it's too late to get rid of them. After Brother Liu stuffed this satchel and these pheasants into my hands, he only told me that I must hand over the medicine in the satchel to Chief Yang, and then hid me in a bush. ”

And he himself ran to the southeast direction where the devil had not yet appeared, and led the devil away. Seeing that the devil who had encountered us had been lured away by him, I immediately ran back. I'm back, but I don't know if he's alive or dead. When the gunshots rang out just now, it was the devil chasing him. ”

"Sir Yang, there are a lot of devils. Now the mountains are full of devils, and we are surrounded here. ”

After listening to this brother's cry, almost everyone in the cave, including Yang Zhen, fell silent. Needless to say, almost everyone understood what kind of situation they were in now after listening to his words. After a short silence, everyone's eyes turned to Yang Zhen at this time.

Looking at the eyes of the brothers looking at him, Yang Zhen understood the meaning in their eyes. Yang Zhen understood that the eyes cast by the brothers were that they were all looking forward to showing their skills again and leading them out of the crisis again.

Compared with everyone's expectations, Yang Zhen's heart was somewhat happy. That brother's words at least let him know the origin of the devils around him. The northeast direction should start from the Mudanjiang River, and the devils in the northwest direction should be transferred from Harbin. As for the Japanese puppet army coming from the southwest, Yang Zhen didn't have to think about it, it must be the devils of the Five Constants.

Knowing that there were no devils in the east that he was most concerned about, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. There are no devils in the east, which means that Guo Bingxun, who should have arrived at Daqingdingzi Mountain at this time, will not encounter devils.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Yang Zhen raised his head and looked at the brothers who were sitting around him, still looking at him with expectant eyes, shook his head and said, "Brothers, now there are Japanese puppet soldiers outside. If we break through, in addition to killing ourselves, we will also expose the position of the main forces. The only thing we can do now is wait here. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen looked at the brothers with puzzled expressions on their faces after listening to his words, and said with a smile: "The devil brigade has come over and found our traces, and we will definitely carry out a dragnet-style search." ”

"It's about to dawn. With a good line of sight, it is difficult for us to get rid of the search and arrest of a large number of Japanese puppet troops. And as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. We placed those horses on the hill above our heads, right in plain sight. And we stayed in this cave and didn't go there. I'm afraid the devil would never have dreamed that we would hide under the horse's belly. ”

Before Yang Zhen's words were finished, a brother who was on guard at the entrance of the cave came over and interrupted him: "Chief Yang, there are a lot of Japanese puppet troops coming down the mountain. In addition to the Japanese puppet army that has gone to the bottom of the mountain, there are also Japanese puppet troops who are constantly converging here. ”

Hearing the report, Yang Zhen didn't care about any more, and immediately rushed to the entrance of the cave, carefully brushed aside the grass that was more than one person tall at the entrance of the cave, and cautiously raised the telescope to look down the mountain and the mountain opposite.

Sure enough, as I said to the brother, not only had a large number of Japanese puppet troops gathered on the flat ground below the mountain, but also Japanese puppet troops were constantly appearing on the opposite mountain and in other directions in the valley. And the horses that he deliberately threw on the mountain to attract the attention of the devil have also been taken down.

With a large number of Japanese puppet soldiers constantly appearing in his footage, as well as the appearance of several Japanese puppet army generals, Yang Zhen saw the scene he didn't want to see.

single-handedly lured the devil away, and at this moment, he was covered in blood, and the flesh and blood dragged by the Japanese puppet army were blurred, and Liu Sigou, who was no longer in shape, was dragged by several Japanese puppet army cavalry with ropes and dragged under Yang Zhen's nose.

Looking at Liu Sigou's corpse that had been trampled to disfigurement, Yang Zhen almost didn't bite his mouth full of teeth. Thinking of the innocent smile that Liu Sigou showed when he challenged him on the bank of the Ash River, Yang Zhen's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Thinking of Liu Sigou's sacrifice with the devil in order to find herbs for himself, Yang Zhen's heart felt a tearing pain: "Silly brother, why are you so stupid." It's just a high fever, you can't kill anyone, why do you do that? ”
