under fire

Chapter 218 Detour
It was late at night.

Jiulian has been walking for three or four hours, going eastward for nearly twenty or thirty miles.

Hu Yi was lying on the upper beam with the telescope in his hands, staring into the dark ravine. Luo Fugui leaned against Hu Yi's side with a machine gun, quietly staring at the fire in the far ravine.

Chen Chong and Tang Dagou rested nervously in the valley behind the high ground, not far from Hu Yi. Squad Leader Wang and Company Commander Chen looked at each other, and continued to enjoy the scenery under the moon.

After a while, Hu Yi put down the binoculars, pulled off the fan of his hat subconsciously, turned his head and asked, "Are you sure it's a devil?"

Wang Liujin couldn't help but stretched his neck: "It must be, two comrades have been watching closely below!"

"how many people?"

"Well, there are only a dozen of them, and they kept a whistle, so they didn't dare to get too close. If they hadn't lit a fire, they wouldn't have been spotted!"

"More than a dozen? The devils can't be divided into small groups to mop up, there should be more ahead, at least one small group!"

"Boss Hu, it's all over now, there are devils surrounding him, and soldiers chasing after him!" Luo Fugui cursed at this situation.

"Then, what should we do now?" Company Commander Chen couldn't help asking.

"Back immediately, turn south from the intersection you just passed, bypass these devils and go east!" Hu Yi ordered without hesitation.

The devil was still hanging far behind, following the broken eight roads and occasionally fired shots, a few miles away from the fork on the mountain ridge behind. .

The Nine Company retreated. In this way, the distance from the chasing devils was even closer, and Hu Yi was not at ease. Come close to the sound of gunfire.

The devils appeared in the east, whether they were the devils who rushed over after getting the news, the situation is unclear, and it is impossible to judge.

Jiulian has a trump card, and it can be used everywhere in the mountains. There is nothing to worry about, and the firepower is enough. If it is just the dozen or so devils, they can even open their fangs and wipe them out.

"Boss Hu, there are devils to the east. We are facing enemies. Do you want to find a cliff and slip down to hide for a while?"

"Hiding? What do dozens of people eat?" Chen Chong took the lead.

"It's a big deal to eat wild vegetables for two days, and I still have a few cans!" The smelly shameless didn't care about the opinions of people who had long been short of food.

"Company Commander Hu, I really have you, and the devils are really here!" Company Commander Chen was happy with hidden worries, but he was in a good mood. It turned out that fighting is not about confronting the enemy face to face.

"Squad Leader Wang, take your people to the south, bypass the devils in the east, and continue to the east!"

"Yes!" Squad leader Liu Jin asked a soldier to inform the observing special agent squad to retreat, and he brought two soldiers to turn south first.

Dozens of people clung to the side of the mountain, followed the soldiers of the spy squad, and headed south, when a stretcher squeezed in from behind: "Isn't it just a dozen devils, why are you running? Grandma crushed them to death!"

"A dozen? When have you ever seen a team of more than a dozen devils in the mountains? When was it less than one team?" Speaking of devils, Luo Fugui answered listlessly.

"Eh, it's true, this little devil is timid, and every time he raids, he is in groups! How long are we going to run?" He yawned and fell on the stretcher again.

"A squad of devils still afraid of being ambushed?" Hao Yun next to him asked an untimely question. In his impression, a squad of devils could chase after a platoon of the national army.

"Your grandma, don't you really think that the devil has three heads and six arms?" Po Gong looked at the ram with disdain.

On the small high ground in the distance, Tang Dagou was lying on the top of the high ground, watching Li Xiang leisurely below, and the devils who were about a hundred meters away behind him fired cold guns at each other.

The devil saw that the eight roads in front were bathed in the moonlight, ran up a mountain ridge along the gentle slope, and the first class immediately approached cautiously. About 100 meters ahead, the eight roads disappeared on the upper beam.

This kind of situation has been seen many times. When the devils reached the gentle slope, they immediately dispersed. The devils on the far side almost scattered to the edge of the cliffs on both sides, pressing up the mountain ridge in a fan shape.

The soldiers led by Li Xiang reached the east side of the mountain ridge, they all stopped, gasping for breath, turned their heads, saw Tang Dagou lying there, and asked directly: "Why are you here?"

"What the hell, Chief Hu asked me to personally support you, why, do you have an opinion?"

"Then let me thank you first?" Li Xiang turned his head: "Let's go!"

Walk without sloppiness!

"Hey, what the hell, what's your attitude?" He yelled at Li Xiang's back in the distance.

"Big dog, how about we withdraw too?"

"What the hell, call the squad leader"

"Oh, Squad Leader Tang, why don't we run away?"

"What the hell, you know how to run, when will we stop taking advantage? The devil is down there, I'll throw two stones at him and kill him! Get ready, listen to my order, kill a devil for reward"

"Uh, a piece of the ocean?"

"I really reward you uncle!"

"what"

"Listen, what's that sound?"

"What sound?" Tang Dagou pricked up his ears, finally distinguishing the faint humming sound in the mountain wind, and then a low whistling sound came from the sky.

"Everyone lay down with their heads in their hands, it's a devil's grenadier!"

All the subordinates heard it, and then, the ground trembled a few times, the grenade exploded on the hillside, and the shrapnel flew down with fine stone chips, and the larger stones that the shock wave failed to move jumped and rolled down the slope , Gradually forming a majestic shock.

"Fucking retreat"

Tang Dagou didn't expect that when he acted alone for the first time, he was beaten by the devil's grenade, froze for a moment, and quickly ordered to retreat.

He just got up and ran back, turned his head sharply, and yelled at the soldiers who were still lying on the ground with their heads in their hands: "Fuck, run quickly! Run!"

A group of shrunken soldiers hurriedly got up, let go of their feet, and followed Li Xiang and the others to run eastward.

Because the devil's team was far away from the high point, they bumped and chased for most of the night under the moonlight. They were nervous and tired. Based on previous experience, Ba Lu would probably lie in ambush on the high ground and shoot coldly. The second lieutenant who followed, He couldn't help being furious, and as soon as he reached the high ground, he ordered the grenadier to fire upwards first.

The Ninth Company left a soldier waiting at the fork in the road.

"Commander Hu, there is a big river to the east, and there is no bridge to the south. The people have all run away, and there are probably no ferries. It may not be possible!" The guerrilla fighter who led the way turned his head and said to Hu Yi, his face full of panic.

"There's a river? Haha, it's good to have a river!" Behind Hu Yi, Luo Fugui regained his energy, with a happy expression on his face, which made the soldier bewildered.

"How far is it from the mountain pass after crossing the river?" Hu Yi asked expressionlessly.

"It's a little closer to the north, forty or fifty miles away, and it takes almost half a day! There is also a mountain pass in the south. If you need to climb a few more mountains, you have to walk at least an extra ten or twenty miles!"
