The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2155: Bad News and Embarrassment

Chen Hanwen and Qiao Youzi ran desperately, but now they are left at the back. The Japanese army is chasing them so fiercely, and this is not a mountainous area, so they don't want to be left behind.

But when the two of them ran to the ambush site, they saw that the people on both sides were also retreating.

"What's wrong? Aren't we going to set up an ambush?" Chen Hanwen grabbed a soldier who was running past him and asked.

"We are told not to fight anymore, retreat quickly!" the soldier replied.

Chen Hanwen didn't know what was happening, so he could only retreat.

But this time, as he ran forward with the crowd, he saw clearly that the short person running in front of him was Qian Chuan'er.

Chen Hanwen ran forward as fast as he could, but before he could catch up with Qian Chuaner, a soldier next to him reached out and gently touched him.

He turned around and saw that the soldier was called Hu Jiuchen, and he was also a veteran.

As soon as Chen Hanwen saw Hu Jiuchen's expression, he knew he had something to say to him, so he slowed down his pace and tilted his head.

But even though he was running, Hu Jiucheng was panting and speaking incoherently, but what he said was like a thunderclap in his ears, because he said, "I heard that Secretary He died, and Qian Chuan'er ran back alone."

Chen Hanwen opened his mouth in shock, but fortunately he did not shout out during the march.

He mechanically followed the crowd and continued to run forward, but his head was buzzing. His brain was blank for a short time. How could Secretary He sacrifice himself? How could such a high-ranking cadre also sacrifice himself?

After running for a while, Chen Hanwen finally calmed down from his shock. It seemed that not fighting the Japanese ambush must have a lot to do with Secretary He's sacrifice.

It was at this time that he noticed that the team did not continue running along the country road, but took advantage of the terrain to go down the road and run into a forest ahead.

"Run quickly, don't let the Japanese find us!" Someone shouted from the side. It was Li Shan's voice.

Following Li Shan's shout, everyone ran as fast as they could.

No matter how fast a person runs, he can only run for a while. A long-distance march like the one they were being chased by the Japanese army is like a marathon. It has a certain rhythm, and if you run fast you can't last long.

But now it was different. Everyone ran at the speed of a 100-meter sprint and rushed into the fairly large forest.

When the last person ran into the woods and wanted to run further into the woods, Li Shan shouted, "Hurry up and lie down and crawl inside!"

When Li Shan shouted, all the people in the woods fell to the ground in an instant.

At this time, the person who ran to the innermost quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the country road. Only a moment later, the Japanese army showed up.

However, the Japanese army apparently did not notice that they had hidden in the woods, and continued to chase them along the country road.

This is just a hilly terrain, so timing is very important if we want to escape from the Japanese army's lower lane.

To give the simplest example, at the time on the road, they were 400 meters away from the Japanese troops behind them, more than 300 meters away from the woods, and the terrain in front that blocked the Japanese troops' view must be within 500 meters, right?

If the road ahead was flat and they couldn't see for several miles at a glance, even the dumbest Japanese soldiers would have guessed that they were on the lower road, and they would have definitely searched for terrain on both sides of the road where people could hide.

There was a heavy breathing sound in the woods, and most people had their eyes pressed to the ground, looking ahead.

Of course, many people can't see the Japanese soldiers on the road, but who dares to raise their heads? It's winter, and the only thing blocking people is the standing tree trunks, but do you think that trees thicker than a person's head can be seen everywhere?

It turns out that the vast majority of trees on Earth are not that thick.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not notice the two platoons of soldiers who had already gone down the road and hid, but continued to chase them along that road.

Seeing the Japanese troops running farther and farther away, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised their heads a little higher.

But at this moment, the last person who ran into the woods and was now lying on the ground became conspicuous.

Everyone was lying down, it was the same, but everyone else was facing outwards towards the country road, while that person was facing inwards with his feet facing outwards, and that person was Xu Lang. At this moment, most people looked calm, but there were also a few who showed contempt.

People always say what kind of person is a veteran soldier. He is the one who can't fight but is the first to retreat.

But Xu Lang is different. He doesn't charge forward in a battle, but is always the last one to retreat.

If you are the last one to retreat, it's fine if you can cover them, but what's the use if you only have a rifle that can only hit a range of 20 to 30 meters?

Wouldn't that be a burden? You're not a woman!

Xu Lang undoubtedly noticed that everyone was looking at him, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. The enemy had temporarily gone away, and now the air in the woods seemed to be filled with a smell of embarrassment.

"Cough, cough." Xu Lang coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, then he got up.

But at this moment, Qian Chuan'er suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Get down and don't move!"

Although Qian Chuan'er's voice was not loud, the stern tone was unquestionable. It cannot be said that they were in a panic now, but after all, their risk was only temporarily lifted.

Now that Qian Chuan'er shouted like that, Xu Lang immediately lay down, and even those who had raised their heads lowered their heads again.

As a result, Xu Lang became embarrassed, and his face suddenly turned as red as pig liver!

"Crawl out of the woods, don't stand up. Who of you can guarantee that the Japanese won't show up from the front again?

The Japanese are coming for our camp this time. They are divided into many small groups and are everywhere!" Qian Chuan'er reminded.

It must be admitted that what Qian Chuaner said makes sense.

The woods where they were hiding were not far from the road. As long as they stood up, if the Japanese army suddenly appeared on the road behind the small hill they had come from before, they would definitely discover them.

"Why are you all standing there? Do as Qian Chuan'er says!" Li Shan spoke.

Now Shang Zhenying has joined the Eighth Route Army, and in this woods there are soldiers from Shang Zhenying as well as the Eighth Route Army brought by Li Shan and Xu Lang. The ones who have command authority over everyone are Li Shan, Xu Lang and Wang Laomao.

Wang Laomao is not here, and Xu Lang also has command authority and a role equivalent to that of a political commissar, but his words may not convince the crowd now, while Li Shan's words are naturally more effective.

So everyone really climbed towards the other side of the woods.

After a while, they all climbed out of the woods, that is, the side with their backs to the country road. With the cover of many tree trunks, they could no longer see the country road when they looked back. Li Shan then shouted, "Everyone stand up, run forward, and meet up with those platoons!"

Only at this point did the others realize what Li Shan was planning.

Everyone acted quickly, but when they ran out of the area covered by the woods behind them and looked back, they did not see any Japanese troops appear on the country road again.

"You damn money-bag, you're so jumpy that you've hurt my Bulege!" Hu Zhuzi cursed in a low voice.

But his many words again earned Chu Tian’s glare.

At the same time, Xu Lang's face, which had returned to normal, turned red again.

He hated Qian Chuan'er so much now. He was already very embarrassed when he just crawled into the woods. Others were facing forward, but he was the opposite of them with his butt facing forward.

He just wanted to stand up, but Qian Chuan'er wouldn't let him, and instead made him crawl out of the woods with his head in front and his butt behind.

He didn't think it was not his fault, but Qian Chuaner was clearly making a fool of himself!

As for the reason, it was just as Hu Zhuzi said, the Japanese devils didn't come from anywhere, it was Qian Chuaner who was causing trouble, but Xu Lang had nothing to say!
