It was already dark, and the wounded American soldier was dying. Seeing that he would not survive, Joe turned over and helped him close his eyes, sending him to heaven early.

Zhang Huaizhi corrected him, saying, "The squad leader went to heaven."

"It's called differently, but it's the same place. Get to work."

The four men dragged away four American soldier bodies, and quickly changed their clothes, including their boots and socks, and hid the American soldier bodies and covered them with snow.

When they reached the explosion site and were about to lie down, a soldier asked Qiao Fanshen, "Squad leader, what are we going to do with all those delicious foods we got today?"

"They are all hung on the tree. They can't be lost."

Zhang Huaizhi asked: "Squad leader, the Americans will not cremate us today?"

Qiao turned over and his head smacked: "You can't say for sure."

The four people who had just fallen down jumped up: "That's the end of it!"

There was a lot of noise outside the woods. When a flashlight shone over here, the four people quickly lay down and did not move.

Two American troops came and carried the man away first.

Joe turned over the four people, their faces covered in blood, motionless, and they were put into body bags, loaded onto trucks and taken to the military camp.

When unloading the truck, they threw it directly down. Fortunately, they threw some of it down in advance, otherwise they would have been killed by the fall.

Qiao turned over and the other three gritted their teeth and endured it, not daring to make a sound.

Finally, the American soldiers arranged the body bags neatly and talked for a long time. Zhang Huaizhi understood that they would send us to the rear for cremation tomorrow. He breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought we would be cremated today. I can't listen to the squad leader in everything in the future. Today is a bit uncertain."

The American troops left, and Zhang Huaizhi was just about to cut open the body bag when he heard footsteps.

Pastor Ivan came, prayed for them, and left half an hour later.

Zhang Huaizhi listened for a long time, and when there was no sound at all, he used the dagger hidden in his underwear to cut open the body bag.

This is a corner of the military camp, with two lights flickering and swaying in the evening breeze.

Zhang Huaizhi got up and poked around, but there was no movement. He poked everyone one by one.

Joe turned over, cut open the body bag and crawled out. The other two soldiers also came out and rearranged the bodies so that no one could see the spaces they had vacated.

After completing these tasks, the four men went to the truck that brought them here. Inside the truck were American weapons. Each of them grabbed a submachine gun and also hung grenades on their bodies.

Zhang Huaizhi walked into a tent nearby, which was a fuel depot. He thought, no wonder they brought us here, so it is convenient to pour gasoline on us and cremate us.

This is the southwest corner of the military camp, where infrequently used supplies such as tents, blankets, and sleeping bags are stored. The four of them found a tent that was filled with mats and sleeping bags, and lay down comfortably in it.

The American troops did not search the military camp, and they would never have dreamed that the Chinese troops who killed them were right in their camp.

When Captain Lewis received the report that Jefferson was dead, more than 20 soldiers were furious. He ordered Qiao Youzhi and Gurnis to take two companies to search the woods despite the dark and windy night.

Qiao Youzhi and Genis accepted the mission very reluctantly and led the troops into the woods. It was too dark and no one dared to go deep into the woods.

Qiao Youzhi didn't dare to do that: The night is the home turf of the Chinese military. If I go in now and get shot and killed, it would be so unfair.

Guineas followed closely beside him.

The two company commanders also came to ask: "Do you want to search?"

Qiao Youzhi looked at their bitter faces and knew that none of them wanted to go, so he said, "The Chinese army would have run away by now. If they didn't run away after the ambush, they would be fools."

Fortunately, we brought a lot of flares, which we fired over the woods, making the woods as bright as day.

The two company commanders led the soldiers around, but they didn't go far before they found four bodies buried in the snow near the explosion site. They reported to Qiao Youzhi, "What should we do, Major?"

"Put it in a body bag and take it back. That way you can get away with it."

After struggling for a long time, they returned to the camp in the late night and put four body bags in the place where corpses were stored.

Qiao Youzhi did not report this matter and went back to his tent to sleep.

The next day, the US military checked the bodies and found that the number was correct, not a single one was missing.

Captain Lewis took a last look and ordered the bodies to be sent to the rear as quickly as possible. After breakfast, the vehicle carrying the bodies left.

During the day, Qiao Youzhi and Genis continued to lead the troops to search around the military camp. Of course, they found nothing.

The four of them slept until noon. Qiao turned over and woke up first. He woke up the other three and touched the place where the bodies were stored last night, but there was nothing there.

"How can we run away? It's so dangerous to stay here." Zhang Huaizhi frowned.

Qiao turned over and his heart was beating fast: "Come on, I can't get out."

Now the US military strictly checks people entering and leaving.

Qiao turned over and asked Zhang Huaizhi: "Where did you say the gasoline was yesterday?"

"Here, follow me."

The four of them walked into the tent where the gasoline was stored. There was still half a barrel of gasoline. Zhang Huaizhi said, "The foreign devils took away a lot."

There were two small iron buckets in the corner. They poured the gasoline in the barrel into the small iron buckets and pushed the rest to the ground, letting the gasoline flow onto the ground.

He brought two small iron buckets back to the sleeping tent, which were filled with blankets and sleeping bags. He poured the gasoline on the tent. Then Joe turned over and took out the lighter from his American military uniform and threw it on the gasoline. The gasoline immediately caught fire.

The four people hid aside and saw that the tent turned into a fireball, igniting the tents next to it. When the wind blew, the fire suddenly spread.

When the American soldiers saw the fire, they shouted loudly and the alarm sounded in the barracks.

A large number of American soldiers came with buckets of water to put out the fire, but the fire was already so big that it was beyond human control, and pouring a few buckets of water was of no help.

Some soldiers put buckets of water on the ground and ran around frantically.

Joe turned over the four of them, and taking advantage of the chaos, one of them grabbed a bucket, covered his face with a scarf, and followed the American soldiers to fetch water.

The American troops were busy dismantling the surrounding tents, and they followed suit to move the things that were dismantled from the tents.

In short, half of the military camp was in chaos.

As luck would have it, a convoy of the Han army came to deliver supplies, and when they saw the military camp on fire, they were so scared that they turned back.

The American officer in the car did not hear the explosion and thought it was a simple accident. He ordered Han Jun to stay on standby. He drove to check the situation and found that it was indeed on fire as he expected.

The American military officer returned and told the Han army driver that the fire was an accident and was immediately under control.

Han Jun's driver didn't trust the Americans. The American officer was furious and pointed at Han Jun and yelled, "Are you idiots? If it was a battle, you couldn't see it, and you couldn't hear the explosion. Open your ears, not to mention the explosion, you can hear the gunshots!"

Just as he finished speaking, there was an explosion from the direction of the military camp, followed by a second and a third explosion in succession.

Qiao Fanshe and the other three saw that the US military had cleared the area around the burning tent and drove a fire truck. The fire was about to be under control. They could not tolerate this situation. Zhang Huaizhi quietly took a grenade, and seeing that everyone's eyes were on the fire and no one was paying attention to them, he pulled the safety pin and threw it into the crowd.

Joe turned over and they followed suit, throwing grenades and hiding aside.

The explosion of the grenade caused serious casualties and the American troops became even more confused. The fire truck also withdrew, breaking the leg of an American soldier while fleeing.

The four people were happy when Qiao turned over. Two of them carried a stretcher and rushed out to rescue the wounded.

The American soldiers wounded in the explosion were bleeding profusely. Qiao turned over and carried one of them up with Zhang Huaizhi, and then carried the other two up. With the American soldiers leading the way, they ran to the medical station.

Before they reached the medical station, the two American soldiers on the stretcher died.

The doctor at the medical station was furious and accused the American soldiers who brought Joe to his death as bastards: Why are you carrying a dead body here!
