Chapter 43 Cunning
Major Akita looked at the endless wilderness in front of him, his face full of depression.
I have been searching for six hours, but I still found nothing.
The remnants of the 79th Division, after fleeing to Hejiajiao, suddenly lost their traces!
The Navy also reported half an hour ago, claiming that no matter how Taihu Lake or the canal were found, and even a small army of more than a dozen people did not find it.
Major Akita became more and more depressed after hearing the news. Could it be that the Chinese flew away with wings?
Or do Chinese people become loaches, burrow into the canal or Taihu Lake, and hide?
"Sir, the Front Command's urgent telegram!" The communications officer hurried over and handed over a telegram.
Major Akita was too lazy to read, so he received the telegram and kneaded it into a ball, and then threw it hard into the distance.
Major Akita didn't even need to read it to know the content on the telegram. It was nothing more than scolding him for being incompetent and unable to find the remnants of the temporary 79th Division.
However, the communications officer ran to a distance to pick up the telegram and handed it to Major Akita again.
Major Akita sighed and was about to reach out to receive the telegram, but suddenly he found out from the corner of his eyes that a faint smoke seemed to rise up in the sky in the northeast direction.
√dg√diǎn√小√ said, ±↖o Major Akita didn't care about answering the telegram and hurriedly raised his telescope.
Through the telescope's vision, Major Akita finally saw clearly that something seemed to be burning in the distance.
Major Akita was not sure whether the fire was the temporary remnants of the 79th Division, but no matter what, this is an abnormal phenomenon and should be taken seriously, not to mention that he is helpless now, so what's the point of going to see it? Major Akita gathered his troops and rushed towards the direction of the fire.
(Split Line)
Turning back, Xu Rui and the veteran.
The fire spread rapidly, and it was too late to run back. Before they could run out of the reed marsh, the fire would quickly catch up and swallow them. By then, they would not be able to find the place even if they wanted to hide. They could only move forward, and perhaps they could find the puddle. As long as they found a puddle, there would still be a glimmer of life.
Xu Rui and the veteran broke away the reeds and ran forward.
Less than twenty meters ahead, the burning heat waves invaded, and a large amount of ash produced by the burning of reeds was rolled towards Xu Rui under the blowing belt of the northwest wind. The veterans rolled over. Even though the two covered their mouths and noses with towels, they still could not avoid a large amount of smoke and dust inhaling into their throats. Their lungs immediately burned and painful.
However, compared to the pain the skin suffers, burning in the lungs is nothing.
Following the burning heat wave, the turbulent fire swept over. Before the fire could reach the two of them, their naked faces, arms and even hair were burned and curled. Xu Rui even smelled the burnt smell emitted by the hair after it was burned, and his vision was even red, and he could no longer see the road.
Water and fire are ruthless, and you are the King of Special Forces, and you will still be burned to death!
However, even at this time, Xu Rui still did not give up!
Before traveling through time, his comrades said that Xu Rui's nerves were made of steel and would never surrender.
Xu Rui's tenacity and accurate judgment made immediately after discovering the fire, and finally saved the two of them.
Just as the fire was about to completely swallow the two of them, a small puddle finally appeared in front of him.
Without a trace of hesitation, Xu Rui, who was running in front, plunged into the small puddle, but the veteran fell half a step back and hit Xu Rui's back. The flying flames just spread over and burned the cotton coat on the veteran's back. The veteran immediately felt the pain of burning fire on his back, and immediately turned over and into the puddle.
The two tried to soak their entire body below the waterline, leaving only their mouth and nose outside.
It took more than ten minutes before Xu Rui and the veteran dared to poke their entire head out of the water.
When I looked around again, I saw that the dense reeds had just turned into ashes, and only the ground was filled with charcoal and smoke. In addition, there were small puddles of water. In the distance, there were a large area of water. There were also large areas of reeds on the other side of the lake that had already caught fire and were burning.
The veteran took out the 38th cover from the mud, but was soaked in water.
Xu Rui wiped Yu Ni on his face and said hatefully: "Damn, I'm careless this time."
The veteran took off the bayonet and threw away the 38th cover soaked in water. He said hatefully: "This Japanese devil must be hiding in one of the puddles. We searched them one by one, but we don't believe it and won't be able to pull him out."
While speaking, the veteran walked towards the nearest small puddle with a bayonet on his back.
When he walked to the puddle, the veteran took the bayonet and stabbed it into the water.
It was confirmed that there was no one hidden in the puddle, and the veteran walked towards the next puddle.
"Forget it, there's no time." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "There are no less than a hundred small puddles here. Who knows which one the Japanese are hiding in? We searched one by one, and when will we find it?"
"Just searching until dark, I have to pull him out tomorrow!" The veteran refused to let go, stabbing the bayonet into the puddle, and said hatefully, "I dare to set fire to me, I'm tired of living!"
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Rui patted his butt and stood up, and said, "Before the Japanese were searching, the Japanese troops arrived first. I'm afraid that the fire just now can be seen dozens of miles away. The Japanese troops must be coming here, so we have to leave quickly."
"Then let it go?" the veteran asked unwillingly.
"Forget it? Of course not." Xu Rui smiled fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, when the Japanese team arrived, the Japanese will catch up. We have time and opportunity to clean up him slowly and leave!"
After saying that, Xu Rui winked at the veteran and left with the 38th big gaze.
"Damn it, this little Japanese devil is a bargain!" The veteran understood it, cursed loudly, and followed.
However, not far away, Xu Rui and the veteran quietly turned back and hid behind a cluster of smoked ashes. In order to hide as much as possible, the two of them even applied a lot of ashes to their faces.
Xu Rui and the veteran were really cunning. This was obviously a way to lure the snake out of the hole and try to trick the Japanese into showing themselves.
However, after ten minutes of waiting, the hundreds of small puddles in front of them were still silent. The damn Japanese were not fooled.
After waiting for another five minutes, Xu Rui did not dare to wait any longer.
After all, Hejiajiao is less than thirty miles away from Baoxing Town. Such a large fire was lit here just now, and it is impossible not to disturb the brigade of Japanese soldiers in Hejiao area.
Once the Japanese troops arrived, things would be a little troublesome.
With Xu Rui and veterans, it is certainly no problem to escape, but the problem is that it is less than five miles away from Baoxing Town. If the Japanese increase their search range, the independent camp hiding in the town will have nowhere to hide. Therefore, instead of being chased by the Japanese, it is better to transfer in advance while there is still time.
"Let's go!" Xu Rui got up and took the veteran away, but this time he really left.
Nearly ten minutes after Xu Rui and the veteran left, a small puddle about twenty meters away from the reed ash they had hidden before turned open, and then a figure covered in mud sat up.
This person is nothing else, of course he is Toshisa Kohara.
At this time, Xiaoluhara Junsi was already on the verge of shock due to excessive blood loss and long soaking in ice water close to zero. However, this Japanese devil was indeed tenacious. With a spiritual will, he climbed to a pile of ashes that had not yet been extinguished, and then rolled into the pile of ashes.
Wrapped around his whole body by hot ashes, Shinsai Kahara finally felt better.
After a while, the limbs, which had been completely lost due to freezing, gradually recovered their perception.
After resting for a while, Shin-Si Kahara struggled to sit up from the pile of ashes, then found a bandage from her backpack, and struggling to bandage the wound on her right arm. After bandaging the wound, she ate two more chocolate biscuits.
After two pieces of high-hot chocolate biscuits fell to their stomachs, Shinsai Kahara recovered a little.
I have to say that the vitality of special forces is really comparable to that of cockroaches!
It was all like this, and Xiaolu Yuan Junsi was still vigilant enough. A chaotic footsteps suddenly came, and Xiaolu Yuan Junsi's face changed slightly. She immediately turned over and pierced into a pile of ashes, and grabbed the ashes as quickly as possible and applied to her body and face. In just a moment, her whole person merged with the entire pile of ashes.
After a while, about a squad of Japanese soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the reed marsh.
More than a dozen Japanese devils unfolded in combat formations and searched carefully.
Seeing the Japanese army coming, Xiaoluhara Toshisa breathed a long sigh of relief and turned over and sat up from the pile of ashes.
The dozen Japanese soldiers who were searching forward were startled by the little deer Yuan Shunsi who suddenly sat up from the ashes. The two Japanese soldiers walking in front of him instinctively raised the 38th hood and were about to shoot.
"Don't shoot, you are your own people." Seeing this, Kohara Toshisa quickly spoke out to stop him.
The two Japanese immediately froze there, and the leading Japanese lieutenant drew out his sabers and strode toward Xiaoluyuan Junsi, and held the sabers to Xiaoluyuan Junsi's throat and asked, "Who are you?"
Xiaoluhara Toshisi replied weakly: "Internship of the Army Department, Xiaoluhara Toshisi!"
While speaking, Xiaoluhara Toshisi took out his officer certificate from his shirt pocket with difficulty. The second lieutenant of the Japanese took the officer certificate and took a look, then immediately closed his feet and saluted Xiaoluhara Toshisi.
Xiaoluhara Toshisa replied with a military salute and said weakly: "Take me to see your chief."
"Hayi." The second lieutenant of the Japanese bowed his head again, then turned around and waved his hand. The two Japanese soldiers stepped forward to support Xiaoluyuan Junsi, but let Xiaoluyuan Junsi push it away and said, "No need, I can leave myself."
