Chapter 182 Is that you? Old company commander?
Vast forests and snowy plains,
on the ground,
A dark Anti-Japanese Allied Forces squad was moving forward with difficulty.
Wang Yaohui, the head of the First Army's Special Forces Regiment, walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if his legs were filled with lead.
He looked at the woods around him with a blank look in his eyes. Without a local guide, they were lost again!
Especially today, the wind was howling, the weather was gloomy, snowflakes appeared in the sky again, and the temperature dropped again!
There was a flash of despair in Wang Yaohui's eyes.
He looked down at his cotton-padded jacket, which had turned dirty and black. It had more than a dozen holes in it and almost half of the cotton wool had fallen out.
The cold wind blew and I shivered all over.
Of course, the other comrades were not much better.
And food.
If we can’t get food, it’s hard to say whether the troops can survive the night.
"Political Commissar, let's find something to eat!"
Wang Yaohui turned to Chen Chao and said,
"Okay!" Chen Chao sighed. What else is there to eat here except the bare trees?
Since their special forces regiment turned south at Zhuhe, they have been exchanging fire with the enemy all the way. The troops are short of food and ammunition, and their numbers have dropped sharply. Now there are only 12 people left!
The worst thing was that the enemy's punitive force kept sticking to them, and they were only concerned with moving quickly along the way. They suffered heavy casualties, lost a lot of equipment, and even lost the map.
So, lost in this place again!
They haven't seen anyone in two days!
Two soldiers cut the bark of the elm tree with bayonets, soaked it in snow water, removed the old outer bark, and left the white bark inside.
Use a small iron pot to boil some water, boil it again to remove the odor, then put the elm bark in the pot to boil.
After a while, a soldier shouted,
"Captain, it's time to eat!"
It can be cooked like this and eaten as porridge, which can fill your stomach!
Finished eating elm bark porridge!
“Sleep for 20 minutes!”
The voice just fell,
The soldiers had already sat on the ground tacitly, in groups of two, back to back, and one of them quickly closed his eyes.
The soldiers all huddled together with their hands in their waistbands!
Wang Yaohui smiled bitterly and leaned against Chen Chao!
Wang Yaohui fell asleep first, and after ten minutes,
Two slaps on the shoulders.
Chen Chao slapped him awake and yelled at the same time,
"Substitute!"
In each group of soldiers, the one who was originally asleep takes over and starts sleeping with another person.
If the clothes are not warm enough for more than ten minutes, people will freeze to death!
This is data obtained at the cost of the lives of countless martyrs!
Wang Yaohui didn't dare to sleep any longer. They had to find food as soon as possible, otherwise they would definitely be buried in the snowy forest today.
The team walked aimlessly for a long time, becoming extremely tired, until they saw a lake!
The lake is frozen!
Wang Yaohui and Chen Chao picked up the binoculars at the same time. Although the lake was frozen, it was an open area and the troops did not dare to go there easily. In case there were Japanese strongholds on the shore, they would have nowhere to hide!
Chen Chao's hands suddenly began to tremble, and he made an anxious sound.
"Captain, look, to the left, at 10 o'clock!"
In the camera, there were actually a few children skating and playing on the lake.
Finally found someone!
After making sure there was nothing unusual around them, the two hurriedly ordered the soldiers to follow immediately.
A group of people stepped onto the lake carefully and walked towards the children!
But when the children saw a group of scary strangers coming, they all scattered and went back to their homes!
Wang Yaohui laughed at himself. The soldiers were now all untidy, dirty from head to toe, and their hair could be tied into pigtails.
No wonder the children were so scared when they saw it and ran back home!
They also went ashore and saw several wooden houses on the shore, with steam coming out of the chimneys.
Chen Chao looked at the time. It was already 11:30 in the afternoon. It was time for lunch.
He brazenly pushed open the door of the first room.
The house is warm like spring,
The aroma of stewed lamb hits you.
Chen Chao's Adam's apple moved uncontrollably.
His stomach started to growl, and he saw a peasant woman in her 30s busy at the stove in the house.
"Sister, we are from the Anti-Japanese United Army. Do you have anything to eat?" Chen Chao said with difficulty, his voice weak.
The peasant woman looked at Chen Chao in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then asked,
"Are you from the Anti-Japanese Alliance?"
"Well, we're lost!"
"Sit down, it will be ready in a moment!"
The peasant woman said cheerfully, and took out a pot of cooked soybeans and a pile of pancakes and put them on the table.
At this time, the others followed Chen Chao and rushed in. Without saying a word, they reached out, picked up the pancakes and started eating!
The peasant woman looked at their miserable state, her eyes full of questions. She filled another pot with the cooked mutton and placed it on the table.
A soldier picked up a piece of hot mutton, blew on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The children in the room looked at the soldier's thick, red fingers, which were covered with blisters, and their eyes were filled with fear.
"Eat slowly, I'll go get some more food from the cellar!"
Several people nodded repeatedly without even bothering to talk!
The peasant woman took her children and hurried out the door!
After a while, the door was suddenly opened.
Several soldiers in yellow coats came in, holding rifles, and shouted at Wang Yaohui and his men,
"Don't even move!"
Wang Yaohui's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, he was tricked. Where did this group of enemies come from?
Then I heard the man in the lead holding a box gun said with a smile,
"Put down the gun, put down the gun, this guy is really from the Anti-Japanese United Army, look, he's still eating like crazy even with the gun pointed at him!"
Several people in yellow coats burst into laughter, put down their guns, and watched them with great interest!
The man holding the box gun put the gun into his waist and asked with a smile,
"Which part of the Anti-Japanese League are you from?"
Wang Yaohui calmed down, swallowed the pancake in his mouth, and then said,
"We are from the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces! What about you?" As he said this, he burped.
The man said,
"My name is Lu Ying. We are not from the Anti-Japanese United Army, but I used to be from the Third Army!"
This sentence made Wang Yaohui's heart beat again.
Chen Chao asked calmly,
"So what do you do?"
"We are also killing devils, Team Yama, I was transferred here by our Captain Kang!"
After one sentence,
Wang Yaohui and Chen Chao stood up in surprise. They looked at each other and their voices began to tremble with excitement.
"Is it the Yanwang Squadron that attacked Maoershan Station?"
Lu Ying looked proud and raised his head and answered,
"Of course, we have already visited many stations!"
Wang Yaohui then asked in a trembling voice,
"So is your boss's last name Yin?"
Lu Ying shook his head.
"Our boss is the King of Hell. We don't know his exact name, so we just call him the King of Hell!"
"Where is he? Take me to see him!"
Wang Yaohui rushed up and grabbed Lu Ying's hand directly.
Lu Ying was startled and said hurriedly,
"We don't even know where our boss is!"
Crack! Crack! Crack! Suddenly, bursts of dense gunfire rang out outside the house.
Wang Yaohui's expression changed immediately.
Lu Ying waved his hand.
"Don't be nervous, the new recruits in our squad are undergoing shooting training."
