After the Japanese army broke through the Chinese positions, they did not celebrate their victory with joy. On the contrary, they immediately launched a pursuit of the Chinese army.

Without the rear to cover the retreat of the large army, this was a huge defeat for the Chinese army. As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. Zhao Zhiguo really saw what it means to be defeated like a mountain.

The soldiers were running around, unable to communicate with each other, unable to cover their retreat, the soldiers could not find the company commander, the company commander could not find the regimental commander, and they had no ability to resist the little Japs.

The little devils brutally massacred the soldiers of the Chinese army, and even the villages they passed by were attacked.

Although the gunshots and explosions behind them gradually became distant, Zhao Zhiguo knew very well that they were still not safe, especially during the day, when a team of ten like them had almost no chance of surviving when encountering a Japs.

"Zhiguo, you can't keep running like this, people... people are going to be ruined!" Dianhou panted. He only felt that his legs were heavy, his eyes were filled with stars, and his mouth was dry.

They didn't eat breakfast. After withdrawing from the position, they ran for an hour. Zhao Zhiguo's physical strength was still good, but the soldiers who lacked training were already like Dian Hou.

"Yes, Zhiguo, we can't go on like this. Even if we don't get beaten to death by the little devils, we will die of exhaustion." Zhao Ziming was too tired to move his legs.

Zhao Zhiguo looked around. At this time, they were in the wilderness. The mountains were looming in the distance. Looking at the mountains, they were running to death. In a short time, the mountains in the distance could not provide them with shelter.

It is even more impossible for them to hide in the village. Once the Japanese army searches here, it will definitely bring huge disaster to the villagers.

"Rest where you are for five minutes. We will set off in five minutes! Dianhou, you are responsible for guarding, and I will go look around."

Zhao Zhiguo didn't want to rest at all. Their current situation was like being on the water without any ripples, but there were whirlpools everywhere under the water, which could sweep them away at any time.

After walking around, Zhao Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief and found no trace of Japanese troops around.

"Zhiguo, what should we do next? Where should we go?"

Seeing Zhao Zhiguo's return, Zhao Ziming quickly asked Zhao Zhiguo what suggestions he had. They retreated too quickly. Not only were the troops without cover, but there was no retreat route or gathering place. The soldiers were like stragglers, scattered and without any clues.

combat effectiveness.

"It would be great if we had a map and a telescope at this time." Zhao Zhiguo also wondered that they found a lot of good things on the little devil's body last night, but they didn't find these two things. Maybe the Japanese army didn't need to bring these when they charged.

thing.

"We can't stay here for long. We have to hurry up and leave. The Japs are coming from the north. We have to keep going south. The further south we go, the less likely we are to encounter the Japs." Zhao Zhiguo continued, "Hurry up and act.

.”

But before Zhao Zhiguo and the others could stand up, a burst of intense gunfire rang out. They were frightened and immediately fell to the ground, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

"The gunshot was very small and should be two and a half miles away from us." Dianhou judged.

"The sound of gunfire was also very mixed. In addition to the Japs' 38 caps and crooked handles, there were also the sounds of Hanyang-made, old sleeves, Liao-13, and Jin-made shell guns. It may be that our people encountered the Japs.

"Zhao Ziming also judged that there was a firefight between the two sides.

Judging from the sound of gunfire, there should not be many of them, but they have good weapons and fierce firepower.

"Let's retreat quickly." A soldier said anxiously.

At this time, while the little devils were attracted by the troops from other directions, it was a good opportunity for them to escape. Zhao Ziming and Dianhou also believed that as soon as the gunshots were fired, the nearby Japanese troops would definitely be attracted and would have no time to take care of them.

You can take this opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven.

"Can we escape today, can we escape tomorrow?" Zhao Zhiguo asked several people.

It's very simple. With the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the support of the surrounding Japanese troops, this group of defeated troops can be eaten up in less than a quarter of an hour, without delaying the cleaning up and pursuit of other surrounding Chinese troops.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ziming asked.

"Have you ever seen migrating wild geese? It is almost impossible for a wild goose to fly from the north to the south for the winter. What if it is a group of wild geese?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Their next escape will not take only a day or two, but may take a long time. Once they encounter a kid on the road, the ten of them alone will not be able to survive a round with the kid.

"So, we must try our best to twist everyone into a rope. The stronger the rope, the greater our chances of survival."

The Japs have planes in the sky and cars on the ground. They only have two legs. Faced with the Japs’ numerous pursuits, they cannot be so lucky to escape every time. Even if they encounter them only once, there will be a fierce battle.

Unable to fight against the Japs' pursuers.

"Brother, you take two people with a machine gun. Dianhou, take two people with a machine gun. The rest of the people follow me." Zhao Zhiguo assigned the task.

There was no cover or barrier in the wilderness, but several small mounds suddenly appeared in front of them. After taking a closer look, Zhao Zhiguo and the others realized that they were grave mounds.

Not far from the tomb is a dilapidated small village. There are not many houses in the small village, with thirty or forty households. There is a Japanese army team on the periphery, which has surrounded the small village. There are several Chinese soldiers at the entrance of the village.

Judging from the military uniforms of the corpses, they were no different from those worn by Zhao Zhiguo and others, so they were obviously one of their own.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let the little devil find out!"

When approaching the village, Zhao Zhiguo and the others carefully concealed their whereabouts, and the graves became the best cover.

Lying on the grave bag, Zhao Zhiguo finally saw the little devil's true face.

"There are about 30 Japanese troops in front of the village and another 20 in the rear. They have surrounded the village," Zhao Ziming said.

The little devils pursued the Chinese army to this village, and a battle broke out near the entrance of the village. After the Chinese soldiers hid in the village to defend, the little devils immediately surrounded the village, waiting for the final attack.

"You can't see many people in the village at all, maybe not as many as us."

Dian Hou was not providing intelligence to Zhao Zhiguo, but telling Zhao Zhiguo that they had better act cautiously, lest the number of people rescued by then would be less than the number of people sacrificed by their actions.

Zhao Zhiguo pondered for a moment and shook his head: "If there are not many soldiers in the village, there is no need for the Japs to surround it, or there may be something inside that the Japs think is more valuable."

"So, this will prevent the little devil from succeeding?" Zhao Ziming supported Zhao Zhiguo, "We have to hurry up and act. The little devil has already lined up his troops and will launch an attack in a few minutes."
