Chapter 391 Calling for Parents from Over 200 Kilometers Away
"Qin...Qin Lan, where's the silly girl? Didn't you...win her over?"
Somewhat out of breath, Gao Qiang saw Qin Lan sitting quietly under a big tree on a gentle slope about 10 meters ahead, motionless.
His eyes involuntarily scanned Qin Lan's surroundings, but he still couldn't see the silly girl.
At that moment, Gao Qiang's heart skipped a beat.
Ignoring his still-catching breath, he immediately pressed Qin Lan for details about the whereabouts of the silly girl.
Qin Lan had already noticed the arrival of Gao Qiang and the others.
Upon hearing Gao Qiang's words, Qin Lan, who was sitting on the ground, pointed to the tree without raising her head and said.
"Silly girl is crying in the tree. Maybe she's sad because her cat car was bombed by the Japanese."
Upon hearing Qin Lan's reply, Gao Qiang and Yang Ningyu immediately looked up at the treetop where Qin Lan was leaning against.
Sure enough, on a tree branch more than 10 meters above the ground, the silly girl was sitting astride a thick branch, looking through binoculars at the still somewhat gloomy sky to the north.
It looked as if it was waiting for something?
Upon seeing this scene, Gao Qiang instantly felt relieved. If anything had happened to Sha Niu, he truly wouldn't know how to explain it to Minister Bai.
However, this place is not a place to stay for long.
The forest density here is too low. After that heavy artillery bombardment, Gao Qiang knew without a doubt that the Japanese had sent reinforcements.
And the number is definitely not small.
Now, as soon as the Japanese soldiers enter the mountains, their location can be quickly discovered.
So Gao Qiang looked up and shouted loudly at the silly girl in the tree.
"Silly girl, come down quickly, we have to get out of here right away, or we'll all be in trouble once the Japanese infantry come into the mountains to search for us."
The silly girl riding on the tree branch heard what Gao Qiang said below.
She glanced at Gao Qiang and the others below with her red, tear-filled eyes, but didn't reply. Anyway, she had already contacted her parents, and it was questionable whether the Japanese soldiers below would even have a complete corpse in a while.
So the silly girl sniffled and looked up at the northern sky again.
But at this moment, the camp of the Ninth Army in Ershi City is bustling with activity.
The moment Bai Luo pressed the rocket launcher's launch button.
Fourteen high-explosive incendiary rockets were launched into the sky in succession. The huge noise generated by the rockets igniting woke up everyone in the entire New Ninth Army camp.
Even Bellena and the others rushed out of the cave wearing cotton-padded coats and carrying guns, thinking that the camp had been attacked by the Japanese.
But when they came out, they were captivated by what they saw in the sky.
At this moment, 14 fireballs had already risen in the dimly lit sky, flying rapidly southward with a sharp whistling sound.
In the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared from their sight.
In the end, only 14 plumes of smoke remained, stretching across the sky, on a cold morning outside Er City.
Seeing this, and having learned from their previous experience, Bellena and the others immediately realized that it wasn't their camp that was being shelled, but rather that Bai Luo was shelling someone else.
I wonder which unlucky guy Bai Luo will be beating this time.
10 seconds.
30 seconds...
60 seconds...
90 seconds...
120 seconds...
Gao Qiang, standing under the tree, was sore from craning his neck, while the silly girl on the tree was still perched on a branch, looking north through binoculars.
"No, we can't wait any longer. You guys wait down here, I'll climb up and bring this girl down."
Gao Qiang noticed that two minutes had already passed, and they didn't have time to waste.
As soon as Gao Qiang finished speaking, he quickly arrived at the base of the big tree that the silly girl had climbed.
He handed the STG44 assault rifle in his hand to Yang Ningyu, who was standing next to him.
He looked up and glanced at the position of the branches above the big tree, then chose a suitable route to climb and began to climb.
At the same time, on the dirt road at the foot of the mountain, Songshi Jingbian, the captain of the Songshi Brigade who had come to support from Chunshi again, was standing at the tank command position and had arrived near the meat grinder that Sha Niu had just created.
Behind him were three tanks and about two companies of infantry, totaling about 500 Japanese soldiers.
The remaining Japanese soldiers stayed in place to guard the artillery positions of the artillery company.
"Crack."
A screech of brakes rang out, and the tank came to a steady stop at the edge of the battlefield.
Matsushii looked at the Imperial cavalry that had arrived before him, now reduced to a pile of mangled limbs in less than 20 minutes after they had separated.
At first, a fierce anger surged in Songshijingbian's heart, but then a chill ran down his spine and his hair stood on end.
Because the scene was just too tragic.
He truly couldn't fathom what the Imperial cavalry battalion had gone through in those short 20 minutes of separation to transform a battalion of Japanese soldiers into this state.
He hadn't gotten much useful information from the Imperial cavalrymen who had just escaped.
All they knew was that as they charged the enemy, their comrades in front of them, along with their warhorses, exploded into clouds of blood mist.
However, Matsushii knew that now was clearly not the time to dwell on this issue; the most urgent task was to find the enemies who had ambushed the Imperial soldiers.
What I should do now is to completely annihilate them and avenge the Imperial soldiers.
After thinking about this, Matsushiro first waved to the infantry following behind the tanks to inspect the battlefield and search for the enemy's retreat direction.
Then, enduring the nauseating, pungent smell of blood, he looked towards the very front of the meat grinder.
The first thing I saw was Silly Girl's cat car, which had been blown to pieces, and the large shell casings scattered all over the ground.
The eyes of the person by the pine well lit up instantly.
He had a premonition that he had found the weapon that had caused such a terrible fate for the Imperial cavalry.
However, to confirm his judgment, Matsushiro decided to go closer and take a look.
He then disregarded the limbs and severed bodies of Imperial soldiers scattered on the ground and ordered the tank beneath him to advance through the battlefield toward the wreckage of the cat car.
However, the three Japanese tanks behind him chose to remain in place.
They did not follow the tanks by the Songshi Well into the meat grinder.
Meanwhile, Matsushii, who was already riding in a tank into the meat grinder, was unaware of what was happening.
Less than 1000 meters above and to his left in the forest, the man who created this horrific meat grinder was sitting on a tree branch, crying.
At that moment, the silly girl, who had been staring at the northern sky, suddenly shouted down.
"Oh dear, Xiao Luo's cannonballs are here! Sister Xiao Lan, come up and watch the fireworks!!"
"coming."
Qin Lan, who was sitting under the tree, suddenly sprang to her feet after hearing the silly girl's call.
Before Gao Qiang could even register the shock, Qin Lan and Sha Niu were already perched on a tree branch in less than five seconds.
At this moment, Gao Qiang is only about 3 meters off the ground.
Just as Gao Qiang was hanging in the tree, unsure whether to go up or down, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that the originally dimly lit sky to the north was gradually turning red.
The soldiers below also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky through the sparse tree branches.
But before they could see clearly what the glowing thing in the sky was...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
One loud bang after another came from the foot of the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, the special forces members and Yang Ningyu saw flames bursting into flames on the dirt road below.
The faint screams of Japanese soldiers could also be heard.
At the same time, they felt a violent tremor beneath their feet.
The sudden explosions rang out more than 10 times, with varying loudness.
Meanwhile, Qin Lan and Sha Niu, sitting in the tree, were excitedly watching the huge mushroom cloud rising from the Japanese artillery position in the distance.
It was clear that Bai Luo had fired a shot that hit the Japanese truck carrying the shells directly.
Otherwise, rockets alone wouldn't have been able to create such a commotion.
