Chapter 41: Strafing!

The snowmelt flash flood broke out, and the snow water flowed into the Jing River from all sides, causing the water level of the Jing River to be much higher than usual, and the originally clear and calm river surface became choppy. The murky water of the river rushed down with mud, sand, tree branches, and ice that had not yet had time to melt.

The sound of rumbling water makes people unconsciously want to stay away from the riverbank...

In the sound of the violent water, you can still occasionally hear the sound of ice cubes colliding, like the creaking sound of steel breaking, which makes people's scalps tingle.

Among the trees on the bank of the river, Zhang Dabiao looked at the Jing River not far away, and couldn't help but worry about Su Jigang and them.

With such a big snow flood and ice cubes everywhere in the water, there won't be any accidents, right?

The fragile wooden boat, in the face of the raging torrent mixed with huge ice floe, is more fragile than an eggshell, once the ship collides with the ice floe, it can only be the end of the ship's destruction and death.

In the face of this kind of river, even the most seasoned boatman is a little overwhelmed.

It's useless to think about this now, so let's take the assault company back to Yang Village first·····

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the worries in his heart, Zhang Dabiao focused his gaze on the eyes.

He, Wang Gensheng, Monk Wei, and a group of squad leaders were meeting to discuss the next route.

In the woods, everyone looked different.

Wang Gensheng always had an indifferent expression, leaning against a tree to rest, but compared to when he set off, his face was obviously tired. The monk was half-squatting, with two shell guns at his waist, his hands rubbing restlessly, with obvious excitement and anticipation on his face.

The other squad leaders had obvious anxiety and worry on their faces, as well as exhaustion.

Take a few deep breaths again, and then exhale heavily, slightly relieving the thick fatigue in the body, looking around at the anxious faces of the squad leaders, Zhang Dabiao's tone was calm:

"Don't worry"

He knew why the squad leaders were anxious.

"Although it has now passed the scheduled contact time with the head of the regiment, he has not received any news from us, and the head of the regiment will definitely find a way to find out about our situation."

"There are quite a few comrades in Yangquan who are engaged in underground work, and it is not difficult to find out about the situation in the nearby county seats, and the news that we have been encircled and suppressed in Jing County and He County will definitely reach the ears of the regiment commander."

"As long as it can be confirmed that we have not been wiped out, the regimental commander will not give up on us, and will definitely stay where we are to receive us"

As soon as he said a word, everyone's faces suddenly improved a lot.

They were most afraid that the receiving troops would retreat after waiting for the assault company...

The assault company was now approaching its limit, and the soldiers were all exhausted, and before that, there had been a situation where several soldiers fell asleep while walking, and fell headlong on the ground.

In addition, even the big mules and horses, which are regarded as the pillars of the horses, have experienced a significant decline in physical strength.

The big mules and horses, when they first set off, they walked 300 pounds and walked 100 miles of snowy mountain roads without panting, and now they have more than 200 pounds and more than 100 miles of mountain roads and their hooves have begun to slip, which shows that the mule's physical strength is also at the limit and needs to rest.

Everything is indicating that the assault company will continue to rest.

And right now, behind them are thousands of devils' pursuers who are chasing after them, and in front of them is a Japanese army wing, more than 3,000 devils need to break through.

The devils of Yangquan are not the puppet army before, with the current situation of the assault company, they have to walk around when they encounter a squad of devils.

When they rushed out of the encirclement of Yangquan devils, I was afraid that except for Monk Wei and Cao Mantang, everyone would be tired and lie down, but there was still a distance of more than a hundred miles from Yangquan to Yangcun, and there were still two devil counties in between······

If the regimental commander did not meet them west of Yangquan, then the assault company would be really dangerous.

Seeing that everyone's faces were softened, Zhang Dabiao continued:

"According to the temper of the regiment commander, after knowing that we are still surrounded by devils, he will definitely find a way to support us"

"But he can't find our position, and he doesn't know the specific route of our breakthrough, so he can't send someone to respond, so he should find a way to mobilize the devils in Yangquan to create conditions for our breakthrough······"

"There is Meng County in the south, and it is not difficult to guess the route of our assault"

"So, next we have to pass through Yangquan as soon as possible and ····· as fast as possible"

is worthy of Li Yunlong's old subordinates, the two of them are completely synchronized, separated from each other by a town where devils are heavily stationed, they fall in love with each other without communication, and complete a cooperative operation.

Everyone listened quietly, in the past few days, Zhang Dabiao has commanded again and again, and let the assault company avoid the pursuit of the devil again and again, so that everyone is convinced.

"We are now south of the Jing River, separated by a Jing River from Yangquan, plus the previous sudden turn to the south, the devils in Yangquan should not react so quickly, and there should not be many devils in the south of the Jing River..."

"As for the devil's airboat, there is ice floe in the river, and the airboat can't get down the river"

"Next, we don't need to hide, just go to the riverbank, take advantage of the fact that the devil's strength has not been adjusted, and quickly pass through the twenty-mile section ahead, which can save a lot of physical strength."

The rugged mountain road and the flat river bank have a huge difference in physical exertion between the two.

"When we get close to Yangquan, we will enter the mountain forest and take the mountain road through Yangquan"

Speaking of this, Zhang Dabiao took a deep breath and encouraged everyone: "As long as we pass through Yangquan, we will be safe, remember to tell the soldiers, just hold on for another day..."

"Yes," the squad leaders quickly organized the squads and began to move along the riverbank·····

As Zhang Dabiao expected.

The assault company of a hundred people walked safely on the riverbank, there was not a single devil or puppet army around, the marching speed of the team was significantly faster, and even the panting of the big mule was gone.

Obviously, the flat terrain on the banks of the river saves a lot of energy.

The only fly in the ointment is that the rumbling sound of the rolling river and the sound of crushing ice colliding next to you are very scary·····

After marching on the riverbank for two hours, just as he was about to arrive at the predetermined place to enter the mountain, Wang Gensheng suddenly stopped, pricked up his ears, and made a listening gesture.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Dabiao asked.

"There seems to be some sound," Wang Gensheng frowned.

The rumbling of the river, the creaking of the ice, and the equipment of his body made him barely audible.

"What sound can there be..."

Zhang Dabiao responded casually, but habitually, he still looked around vigilantly.

When he looked back, in the center of his field of vision, a large black bird located in the sky made him instantly sober, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Enemy plane, lie down in concealment·····"

But this reminder is a little late...

The tired soldiers of the assault company, coupled with the sound of the turbulent river on the side, made the devil's reconnaissance plane almost close to the assault company at a distance of 300 meters.

Dadada·····

As the devil reconnaissance plane flew by, flames erupted from the nose, bullets swept across the ground, stirring up a series of rubble, and several soldiers and big mules and horses who couldn't dodge were hit, and fell straight on the bank of the river...

One of the bullets even grazed Zhang Dabiao and tore through his file bag, and one by one the documents fell on the beach on the riverbank.

"Into the woods"

Seeing that the plane was about to turn back and fire again, Zhang Dabiao quickly picked up the documents that had fallen on the ground, and then led the assault company into the mountains and forests.

Ultra-low altitude, and it is a river valley area, there are many mountains around, and it took a lot of time for the devil's plane to turn around, and when he turned back to prepare for another wave of strafing, the assault company had already entered the mountains and forests and disappeared...

After hovering at low altitude for a long time, and even shooting at the woods several times, the devil reconnaissance plane shook its wings and flew away.

After the plane left, Monk Wei ran out of the woods, pushed several large mules and horses and assault company soldiers who fell to the ground into the Rolling Jing River, and then quickly ran into the mountains and forests without a trace...

But Monk Wei didn't notice that on the riverbank, there were more than a dozen documents that he hadn't had time to pick up on the beach.

About two hours later, a squad of devils came running from a distance······
