The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2406: Living Towards Death (XIV)
"Boom" the Japanese army fired another flare, and just as the soldier finished speaking, there was movement behind him.

Meng Lingdong, hiding in the bushes, looked back with the help of the light from the flare.

Since the bushes here are relatively sparse, they can see more clearly with the light.

Meng Lingdong did not see anyone in the bushes fifty or sixty meters behind him, but he saw the bushes shaking.

Well, then there is someone!

All living things know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Even humans are surrounded by gunfire in this mountain area. Even a rabbit would know to hide in its burrow and not come out. There is no wind, so who else could be under the swaying bushes except one of their own people?

Yes, it was our own people, the ones who attacked the Japanese devils from the flank, that is, passing by them!
But in this case, people like Meng Lingdong would be in an awkward position. Should they join or not?
If you join, you have to fight in the night battle. Is there any need to ask how dangerous the night battle is? In the understanding of these veterans, if their own people go to fight in the night battle, they are the death squad!

Don't join? Unless you can avoid it, if someone bumps into you, you will not only have to join, but you may even have to rush in front of them.

The old soldiers are very capable. Regardless of whether they are capable enough to survive to this day, they are definitely very capable. In other words, they must be very smart. Even if Meng Lingdong didn't point it out, the old soldiers could figure out what was going on.

And now the people coming up from behind were very close to them, only fifty or sixty meters away, so it was no longer appropriate for them to talk.

"Pass the message forward. Once the flare goes off, turn left immediately and go to that high ground." Meng Lingdong whispered to the soldier beside him.

They don't want to return to the team or be part of the suicide squad for the time being, so just keep hiding.

They then ran to the front left. There was a small hill on the hillside, which could be called a small hill or a large mound of earth. They could hide under the hill, and they would definitely be safe with their backs to the direction of the Japanese army's flares.

Meng Lingdong's order was conveyed accurately.

There were more than thirty of them, and they were whispering, so the news wouldn't spread quickly.

The Japanese army's flares were fired from grenade launchers. They were small in size and had a short air time. Not long after they conveyed the order, the flare fell.

And at the moment when darkness returned between heaven and earth, Meng Lingdong and his gang took action.

Don't say that these old soldiers are slow in doing everything, and don't say that they have poor military discipline. At this moment, they are a disciplined, swift-acting, and battle-hardened army.

They came out of the bushes without making any sound and ran quietly to the left and south!
But as he was running, Meng Lingdong suddenly felt it was ironic. The footsteps were the same, but their purposes were different.

If the maximum skill points of these veterans is 100, they have put all of them into escaping!
After running just a few dozen steps, Meng Lingdong, who was running in front, suddenly whispered "Stop", then he moved to the side and squatted down.

Fortunately, in order not to make any noise, they did not run very fast. After he shouted "stop", several people behind him also whispered "stop", and then they really stopped. At this time, they heard rustling footsteps coming from behind their right.

This time the footsteps were not coming towards them, but towards the Japanese position.

Meng Lingdong listened carefully to the footsteps again. They were still rustling and quick, and were no different from the footsteps they had just made.

But at this moment, Meng Lingdong suddenly felt his face blushing.

Meng Lingdong waited until he could no longer hear the footsteps heading towards the enemy, then he whispered something and led his men to continue moving forward according to the set goal. A few minutes later, the veterans could speak in low voices again, and they could stay out of the matter again.

Although there were many people talking, what they were talking about was nothing more than fighting.

"I don't know how many Japanese devils are still on the top of the mountain?" said A.

"The Japanese devils above are a squadron, right? From yesterday till now, our people must have wiped out at least half of the squadron, right?" said B.

"Hey, you guys, more of our people are coming up from below to serve as suicide squads. Can they come up with cluster grenades?" C said.

"The noise wasn't very loud at that time, so it seemed like there might not be as many people as us," said Ding.

There were about thirty people. Some were talking about the battle, but some were also talking about other topics. For example, a soldier mentioned that someone who had the best relationship with him had died.

For example, a soldier mentioned that someone else was dead, and that bastard still owed him so much money. He didn't know whether that bastard was smart or stupid, but he killed himself just to avoid paying him back!

Although the soldier's words seemed humorous, they were still a bit mean. After all, an old soldier said to him, "If you say that, you won't even have an asshole when you give birth to a child!"

The former disagreed: "I have only peeked at women bathing, but I have never had sex with them, so where does the child come from?"

The veterans' rhetoric is just like the things they have experienced. With more experience, they will naturally be able to be witty. To put it bluntly, no matter what the other party says, they always have a countermeasure.

The veteran soldiers chatted like this, as if they had forgotten that they were not far from the battlefield where another battle would take place. But in this seemingly casual chat, they all tried their best to avoid one topic.

This situation is just like the emperor's new clothes in a foreign novel. Everyone knows it clearly, but who can tell that the emperor is actually naked and has nothing on?
The veteran soldiers kept talking nonsense and hiding in a place that was at least safe here, watching another flare being fired by the Japanese army.

Just when the flare had traveled most of its trajectory in the air and was beginning the second half of its journey, the light finally shone on the bottom of the small hill where they were hiding.

Although they were hiding in the bushes, either lying or sitting, the light still made them feel uncomfortable, and they didn't know whether it was out of fear or shame.

"Where is our boss?" Ergou suddenly asked.

Although his voice was not loud, he still managed to attract the attention of others. Everyone shut up and looked for Meng Lingdong. There were more than thirty people, not too many, not too few, and not too few, but they were not all gathered together. But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find Meng Lingdong.

"Oh my, this is too embarrassing. Go find him quickly. How could a group of living people lose their leader?" said a soldier.

The soldiers looked at each other in the last glimmer of light when they saw their younger brother. Yes, this was indeed too embarrassing. Not to mention their combat effectiveness, they were all veterans after all. Why didn't they keep an eye on their superiors?

But at this moment, a rustling sound was heard above their heads, and then Meng Lingdong's voice of "Quiet" came over. The voice was not loud, but it made everyone shut up.

In the darkness where the flares had already fallen, they suddenly fell silent, and then Meng Lingdong's voice rang out again: "I have decided to join the battle, is there anyone who wants to follow me?"

No one answered, but the Japanese army did not let them rest. With a "bang", another flare was fired into the sky.

Then, in the dim light, the light shone on the faces of the soldiers, and then, no one knew who said "OK", and then more than 30 people said in unison: "OK!"
