In the bloody setting sun, Zhao Zhiguo stood on a mountain peak. He looked at this strange mountain with a telescope. There was not a wisp of smoke around him. This is enough to show that there is not even a village nearby as far as the eye can see, and it is even more likely that not a single village can be seen.

A figure.

"Hey~"

Zhao Zhiguo let out a long sigh, put down the telescope, and thought to himself that they had reached a place where birds had nothing to do, and when would they be able to get out?

After walking a few steps forward, Zhao Zhiguo saw a mountain peak that looked like an eagle's beak and was easier to identify than the other peaks: "I really want to keep this place to myself."

However, the dead are already dead, and the living have to keep walking, not to mention that there are still more than a thousand people looking at Zhao Zhiguo helplessly.

When we returned, Commander Qi was waiting for Zhao Zhiguo: "Captain Zhao, where are we going?"

The other two regiments have less than 600 troops left in total, and Commander Qi still has about 400 troops. Now they have been running with Zhao Zhiguo for a day, and so many people have died, but in the end they still don't know where they are going.

where.

"Go north, keep going north, get out of this mountain first!" Zhao Zhiguo didn't know where he was going.

"Get out of this mountain? Captain Zhao, you have to be clear. You can't even think about getting out of the mountains in the north of Pingcheng for ten days and a half. Look at the brothers. We don't have enough ammunition, and we don't have enough food. You want to starve them all."

Are you going to die in this mountain?"

"Captain Qi, if you have a better way, just put it forward. If your opinion is more reasonable, I will definitely listen to your opinion." Zhao Zhiguo said to Commander Qi.

Captain Qi didn't have any good opinions. He just didn't want Zhao Zhiguo to command him like this.

"I...I...we can't continue going north anyway. I would rather be beaten to death by the Japs than starve to death!" Captain Qi looked like he was going to die heroically.

"Captain Qi, you have also seen today that the Japanese troops chasing us have not stopped. If you take the brothers back, you will die. If you insist on going back, I, Zhao Zhiguo, will never stop you."

Zhao Zhiguo took a step back and made way for him, telling Commander Qi that if you have the courage to die, just leave with your subordinates.

"I……"

Commander Qi was at a loss for words. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Zhiguo's command, he was not ready to die.

"Captain Qi, if you don't want to leave, I still want to discuss a few things with you!" Zhao Zhiguo also knew that Commander Qi had a temper, so he deliberately said it in a gentle tone.

When Commander Qi heard that Zhao Zhiguo said it was a discussion, his unhappy mood eased slightly: "Captain Zhao, just say it!"

"From now on, all soldiers must obey marching orders. They are not allowed to light fires on the road, are not allowed to leave the unit without authorization, and are not allowed to shoot!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Although we are safe now, none of us know when the Japanese troops will come out.

."

"You have the final say on this!" Commander Qi said as if he was handing over to the shopkeeper.

"The troops must march tonight. After dawn, the Japanese army will definitely send planes to conduct reconnaissance, so we will not rest for too long. After two o'clock in the morning, all personnel will march again."

"Captain Zhao, I cannot agree with this. Our brothers have not had a good rest for a day and a night. Now that we finally have a chance to rest, we still have to march in the middle of the night. How can we fight against the Japanese army if our brothers cannot get enough rest?"

Captain Qi thought he could sleep until dawn.

"Commander Qi, if we march in the middle of the night, we will have more time to rest during the day." Zhao Zhiguo said, "The Japanese army will not march at night. This is the best way for us to distance ourselves from the Japanese army and keep the troops safe."

"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, but my soldiers can't stand guard tonight."

After saying that, Commander Qi turned around and left without giving Zhao Zhiguo a chance to speak.

During the day, they seized a radio station from the eliminated Japs. Now that they finally had time, their communications troops also began to try to contact the outside forces. However, after calling for half an hour, there was no response.

"Commander, we have tried our best, but we can't get any response!" the communications soldier told Zhao Zhiguo.

"Don't worry, call a few more times, maybe the Bingzhou direction is too slow and you won't have time to talk to us."

When Zhao Zhiguo and others entered the mountains, the fighting in Jinyang was in full swing. With Pingcheng lost, Jinyang's situation might become even more difficult.

"Captain, we have also tried to access the channels and bands used by the Japanese army, but there has been no movement from the Japanese army."

The radio station was seized from the Xiaojiazi communications soldier. Before his death, the Xiaojiazi communications soldier was still sending telegrams to the Japanese army. This allowed Zhao Zhiguo and his communications soldiers to also record the band used by the Japanese army for communication.

"Go and rest first, maybe you will gain something tomorrow." Zhao Zhiguo said to the communications soldier.

The mountains were quiet at night and the temperature was a bit cold. The soldiers cut some weeds and spread them on the ground, huddled together to keep warm.

Zhao Zhiguo looked at the stars, with thoughts running through his mind. He knew that China's Anti-Japanese War was very difficult, but after truly participating in it, it could not be described as difficult.

"Captain, Lao Qin is back. There are no villages nearby, but we found a water pool. I have arranged for people to fetch water." Gao Cang sat down next to Zhao Zhiguo.

"Finally there is good news!" Zhao Zhiguo grinned.

Zhao Zhiguo never thought that having water now would be considered good news.

"There is also bad news. Even if we save food, we can only last for one day." Gao Cang said.

"If we can find a suitable place to rest after dawn tomorrow and let the soldiers dig grass roots and mix them with our food, we may be able to persist for a while."

"Grassroots? Leader, can that thing be eaten?"

Gao Cang ate weeds during the most difficult period, but he had never eaten grass roots.

"I can get some meat, do you dare to eat it?" Zhao Zhiguo sneered.

"Captain, where can I get meat?"

When he heard that there was meat to eat, Yao Pengju also came over and looked at Zhao Zhiguo curiously.

"Want to eat?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"Of course I want to eat them. Don't talk about meat. Give me a steamed bun now and I can treat them as treasures." Gao Cang said firmly.

"Give me a few ropes, and I'll set up a trap right away. With any luck, I'll find a place to make broth for you tomorrow."

That night, the bad news came that Chu Jie was no longer breathing. Zhao Zhiguo did not let the soldiers spread the news, but he told Commander Qi.
