Chapter 38 Bloody Smell
Following the signal left by Xu Zheyou, Fan Xiaosi, and Fang You on the road ahead, Yan Zhi led the soldiers to walk quietly.

In order to save time and energy, the Brotherhood chose to take a shortcut and pass by the minority village.By the time the first wolf pack is encountered, the group is already on this path.

The road under my feet leads to the small village of the minority, and this path is marked on the extremely detailed military map.

When they came, the Brotherhood chose to take a detour in order not to disturb the people in the village. Now they passed by late at night, and it was the first time for everyone to take this road.

Xu Zheyou, Fan Xiaosi, and Fang You, the three of them are not only scouting for the wolves, but also acting as forward strikers. Where the road is slippery and where it is difficult to walk, you must pay attention to safety and prevent the soles of your feet from slipping. They have marked them with various secret marks. Clearly, this greatly saved Yan Zhi's marching time and physical strength.

Because there are many people on this path during the day, there are hunters and villagers who go up the mountain to pick herbs and wild fruits.

Therefore, even though this road is a small road, branch roads appear from time to time, so that sometimes people are confused which is the branch road and which is the main road.

When there is a branch road in front of them, Xu Zheyou and the others will put a slender branch on the branch road to block it, indicating not to go down the road.

When there are several trails leading to several directions on the road, after Xu Zheyou and the others have determined the main road, they will use branches to make an arrow and place it on the main road, so that Yan Zhi and the others can accurately point out the marching route, so as to prevent the brothers from going wrong Way to waste energy and time.

Xu Zheyou has been fighting guerrillas for many years, and he knows the safety precautions that need to be paid attention to when walking in the mountains and forests at night. He will break small trees on the side of the road and point the branches of the broken trees to dangerous places to warn people behind that they are dangerous and be careful.

Wu Zhonghua was also a guerrilla master, and he knew all kinds of marks left by Xu Zheyou. He and Yan Zhi walked at the front of the team.

The small team moved forward quietly, no one spoke, no one smoked, everything was going on quietly.

Just now, in order to march silently, Yan Yi had asked his brothers to change the devil's shoes, because the devil's shoes had spikes on their soles, which made a loud noise when walking.

During World War II, although the individual equipment of Japanese soldiers was not as good as that of European and American countries, it was absolutely better than Chinese soldiers wearing straw sandals, cloth shoes or even bare feet.

The cowhide uppers of the Japanese soldiers are high, soft and breathable, which can well protect the ankles. The soles are tough and elastic, which can effectively protect the soles of the soldiers' feet from being pierced and broken by rocks when walking on mountain roads.

Those who say that Chinese soldiers like to wear light and easy-to-wear straw sandals and cloth shoes, and are not used to wearing Japanese leather military shoes are all nonsense.

Can the hard sole be harder than the tough sole?
On the battlefield, when you are marching in a hurry, once you hurt your foot, you will almost be sentenced to death with a reprieve, and the sentence may be changed to death at any time.

There is no turning back life on the battlefield, only life accidentally lost.

Comparing the shoes of soldiers from both sides, the Chinese soldiers are far behind.

All the Japanese soldiers were wiped out in the Valley of the Wings. The soldiers of the Brotherhood took off the shoes of the Japanese soldiers and replaced them.

New shoes rub your feet.

The Japanese soldiers usually like to be clean, and the devil soldiers stationed in the Chichi Valley have no wars, so they pay more attention to hygiene.

There are still many new shoes in the devil's quarters, but for soldiers who need night troops, new shoes are not suitable.

Therefore, Yan Zhi asked the soldiers to change into the shoes worn by Japanese soldiers, and everyone picked the ones that fit their feet.As for the new shoes, everyone can bring them as long as they don't interfere with the march. Anyway, they will be burned in the end, and nothing will be left for the little devils.

Soldiers have long been accustomed to wearing the shoes of the dead. Who hasn't taken off the shoes of the dead on the battlefield? Can it still be called a war?

Who hasn't kept warm in a dead man's clothes?
Sometimes when there is a shortage of food, not only the food on the body of the dead is searched, but even the food in the hands of the dead is broken and taken away.

Some soldiers still complained about Major Yan asking everyone to wear shoes worn by dead men instead of new ones. After explaining by several veterans, the soldiers realized that the officer was doing it for the benefit of the brothers.

This shows how pitiful Chinese soldiers were during the Anti-Japanese War.Many soldiers spend most of their time wearing straw sandals and cloth shoes, eating their meals, holding the most inferior weapons, and fighting with devils who are armed to the teeth.

Due to the huge consumption of the war, the Japanese added iron nails to the soles of the shoes, which can reduce the rapid wear and tear of the shoes and save supplies.

Therefore, wherever the Japanese soldiers went, they could hear the sound of the spikes clicking, which became a symbol of the Japanese army in China later.

The small team walked forward for a few kilometers. Xu Zheyou's three-member striker did not hear any news about the wolves, but Wu Zhonghua found Xu Zheyou's writing on a big tree pole.

A piece of bark the size of a palm was sliced ​​off the trunk of a big tree by a bayonet. In the dark and foggy night, it was basically difficult to find, but Xu Zheyou accidentally dropped a branch on the side of the road. There are a few fresh and tender leaves on the top of the branch. As long as you are careful, you can find a piece of bark half exposed in the grass pointed by the branch...

Xu Zheyou's handwriting is crooked, and it looks like it was written by two people.No, it is very likely that three people wrote it together. Anyway, these three words are placed in the current Chinese teacher...

All wrong.

Yan Zhi didn't recognize these three characters until he even guessed Jia Meng.

Bloody smell!

Yan Zhi's heart was shocked. Their current location was not far from the village of that ethnic minority. They could smell blood here. What did that mean?
Yan Zhi pinched his nose and sniffed towards the southeast for a few seconds, then whispered, "Wu Zhonghua, can you smell blood?"

"I didn't smell it! But Xu Zheyou said there was blood, so there must be. He is a guerrilla master of hunting dogs, and his ability to survive in the wild is better than that of wild wolves..."

Yan Zhi stretched out his hand to stop Wu Zhonghua, motioning him to stop talking nonsense and focus on the important ones.

Wu Zhonghua said embarrassingly: "The smell of dew is stronger than that of wind. Sometimes the smell of blood will stick to the grass and leaves, and the old hunters smell like this." He reached out and grabbed a handful of grass under his nose and sniffed. .

Looking at Wu Zhonghua who was sniffing the grass like a dog, Yan Zhi asked, "How is it?"

Wu Zhonghua: "I still haven't smelled it."

Yan Zhi cursed the word "roll", and then stepped forward.

A few hundred meters further forward, a faint fishy smell gushed out among the trees on the green grass mountain, which made Yan Zhi feel a little nauseous.Although he used to kill people like hemp, the experience of smelling a faint smell of blood in the mountains still made him feel a little weird.

The bloody smell of the devils in the Winged Valley is too strong. Although the brutality is disgusting, those corpses are really in front of our eyes, and now this faint bloody smell comes from an unknown distance, and there is a hidden mystery here. Especially in the dead of night, it is very disturbing.

Weirdness, killing intent, and fierce barley all came with a faint smell of blood.
