What a beautiful white lotus

Soon came the day of the ambush.

According to the agreement, Gu Xiuge led the national army and the puppet army led by Zong Hao to ambush on both sides of the mountain pass before dawn, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

The soldiers of the national army have fought dozens of battles, big and small, but at this time, everyone's heart is hanging in their throats-this time they will not only fight the Japanese army, but also fight against the puppet army. Cooperation, although it is an ambush battle that has taken the lead, but the gap in troop strength and equipment makes people have no confidence in such a battle.

A few hours later, the sun had risen directly above the sky, and the roasted people were sweating, but no one dared to wipe the sweat. Even if the mosquitoes bit their bodies, the soldiers did not dare to make a slight move to repel the insects.

Someone couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Will the devil really leave here today..."

As soon as the words came out, the person next to him immediately glared at him and made a silent movement.

Ye Rongqiu was also in the ambush team.He has not killed a devil since he joined the army for several months. At the beginning, Gu Xiuge sent him to the front line to train him. Later, Ye Rongqiu began to study firearms. Gu Xiuge regarded him as the key protection object, the most dangerous He was not allowed to go there, and many people were arranged around him to protect him, because his value to Gu Xiuge was far more than shooting and killing a few devils on the battlefield.But now that the national army has been beaten to the point that there are not many people left, the so-called rear positions do not exist, so they can no longer give Ye Rongqiu any special treatment, and can only let him accompany the army.

From early morning to noon, Ye Rongqiu kept holding the gun, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and he didn't even change his posture.His cuffs were already wet with sweat, and the black dog could feel his nervousness.But he didn't have the time to appease Ye Rongqiu, even his own gun was not so safe.

Suddenly, Gu Xiuge saw a flag stand up on the mountain diagonally opposite, and it wavered slightly.

Gu Xiuge immediately became nervous, gestured to the rear, and the military orders were passed down one by one—the Japanese army is coming!

The messenger raised the flag and quickly made a semaphore to the opposite side, reminding the puppet army on the opposite side to prepare for battle.

After a while, they could already hear the footsteps of Japanese troops approaching and the roar of cars.

At this moment, the scouts on the oblique side raised their flags and began to gesture.

Since these remnants and defeated generals have not received much formal training, not many people understand the semaphore.But Liu Wen understood it, and his face instantly turned pale: "Damn, the information is wrong."

Gu Xiuge himself didn't know much about the semaphore, he only understood some of it, and immediately turned around and glared at Liu Wen, motioning him to translate the meaning of scouts for him.

"The Japanese army has come with a brigade!" Liu Wen's hand holding the gun was trembling.

According to the scout's investigation, the original intelligence was that a squadron of the Japanese army would pass by the mountain gorge today to deliver supplies.The usual method of the Japanese army is to go first with food and grass, followed by troops, so Gu Xiuge believed in the intelligence, and planned to rob the road today to rob the Japanese army again, but he did not expect that the number of people who arrived was not a squadron as mentioned before. But a whole brigade!

The establishment of a squadron of the Japanese army is more than 100 people, which is equivalent to a company of the national army. Now there are only more than 100 people left in Gu Xiuge's hands. In addition to the strength of the puppet army, even if there is a difference in equipment, It is not too difficult to take down a squadron of the Japanese army in an ambush, which is why Gu Xiuge dared to put all his eggs in one basket and cooperate with Zong Hao.However, a brigade of the Japanese army has more than 1000 people, which is equivalent to a complete division of the national army. It takes a few minutes for the entire brigade to pass through the gorge. The problem is, even if the ammunition is perfect, the ammunition in Gu Xiuge's hand may not be enough!

Gu Xiuge's face also turned pale, and he stretched out his hand anxiously: "Quick, quick, give me the telescope!"

The telescope was immediately handed over to Gu Xiuge.

Gu Xiuge watched the situation ahead through the binoculars, but his viewing angle was obstructed. He could only vaguely see the leading Japanese soldiers. Judging from the sound, there were many cars on the other side, but there should be no armored weapons such as tanks.

What Liu Wen just said was close to Gu Xiuge's ear, so the soldiers ambushing behind didn't know what happened, but they saw their regiment seated anxiously raising their binoculars from time to time and muttering to the adjutant Liu Wen, and they also I know things might change.An atmosphere of uneasiness enveloped the entire mountain.

"Tuan Zuo, I can't fight." Guo Wu said.He could also read semaphores, and he knew what was going on.Now that the situation is urgent, he has no time to analyze the pros and cons.Not being able to type three words is all he feels.It’s not that he’s afraid, he’s the only one in the regiment who can be called an elite. He graduated from Whampoa Military Academy. After simulating it again, no matter how much advantage they have, it is impossible to take down the coming Japanese army one by one!He doesn't need to analyze these pros and cons at all. Although Gu Xiuge is not from a regular background, his combat experience is far richer than him. As long as Gu Xiuge is not crazy, he will definitely know what will happen next better than him!Withdraw now, there is still time!

Gu Xiuge only hesitated for two seconds before reaching a conclusion: "We have allies."

Guo Wu was dumbfounded.His calculation just now, of course, did not include the puppet army on the opposite hill.In fact, from the very beginning, he never regarded the other party as his own at all, and he was already prepared to fight alone in this battle.However, today the puppet army also came with 200 people. If you add their combat power, you will not count one as ten, but one as three, and then take advantage of the terrain and ambushes. Not on the Arabian Nights.

but……

"It's too late, group seat!" Don't say that the other party is a puppet army that doesn't agree with you, even the national army of other troops, it is impossible to cooperate with them perfectly. There are too many difficulties they have to face. It's a desperate battle!

Guo Wu cast his eyes on Liu Wen, and Liu Wen clenched the gun in his hand after Gu Xiuge said that, focused on the road ahead, ready to risk his life under the command of the officer at any time.

Guo Wu and Liu Wen have followed Gu Xiuge for several years.As Gu Xiuge's right-hand man, they almost blindly worship Gu Xiuge.Gu Xiuge led them to fight many incredible battles, and finally brought them out of the hail of bullets alive.It's not that they and Gu Xiuge had disputes, but they were all before going to the battlefield. Once on the battlefield, what Gu Xiuge said was the emperor's order, and they followed it without any doubts.

But it's different now.After getting acquainted with Zhang Xiaomiao's militia team, Liu Wen resisted Gu Xiuge more and more. For a period of time, Liu Wen would almost refute any decision made by Gu Xiuge.But at that time, Guo Wu was still on Gu Xiuge's side.Because he knew that Liu Wen's anxiety came more from Gu Xiuge's personal feelings for Zhang Xiaomiao, the inexplicable closeness and trust, and the anxiety that Liu Wen couldn't control.Guo Wu is rational, and his dissatisfaction with Gu Xiuge comes from Gu Xiuge's irrationality.But I don't know why, now Liu Wen has returned to the beginning, regards Gu Xiuge as his god, accepts Gu Xiuge's madness as he pleases, and no longer has any self.

"Let's withdraw." Guo Wu's voice began to tremble.This is no longer war, but death.

Gu Xiuge frowned, noncommittal.His remaining sanity and madness are at war between heaven and man.

The messenger asked Gu Xiuge: "Sir, do you want to give it to the other side..."

Gu Xiuge raised his hand to stop him.

In this short period of time, the roar of Japanese army vehicles was close to my ears, and the dark Japanese army team ahead could be seen with the naked eye.

Suddenly, the opposite mountain began to be a little turbulent, and many branches trembled. It was the puppet army in ambush who started to panic.Their intelligence does not come entirely from the national army, and the trust relationship between them and the national army is maintained by silk threads, which will break at any time.Gu Xiuge let go of his guard against them because he wanted to fight like crazy, but it doesn't mean they won't be wary of Gu Xiuge.They also have their own scouts, not to mention that the Japanese army has already approached, and those with eyes can see for themselves what kind of battle is waiting for them.

All of a sudden, there was a bang of gunfire, which sounded from the opposite side of the gorge, but the explosion of the bullet was on this side of the gorge—the bullet was hitting the mound in front of Liu Wen, and a burst of dust rose up. Wen was so startled that he fell into the trench and was immediately helped up by the soldiers around him.

Liu Wen couldn't believe it: "Are they crazy?!"

The gunshot alarmed the advancing Japanese army. The vanguard of the Japanese army responded immediately, raised their guns and loaded them, aiming at both sides of the gorge, shouting Japanese loudly in their mouths, and the well-trained Japanese army quickly stopped moving forward. Ready for battle.

The bullet fired by the puppet army may have been an angry bullet because they thought they had been deceived, or it may have been a gun that went off in a panic, Gu Xiuge and others have no way of knowing what happened.And just after the gunshots rang out, the turmoil in the opposite position rapidly expanded, but instead of rushing towards the approaching Japanese army, they fled from the battlefield without armor and armor.The branches and leaves used for cover were discarded by the scattered puppet army. They didn't even fire a single shot except for the bullet that was fired by mistake, and they lost order. A large number of soldiers jumped out of the trenches and fled directly.

The Japanese army immediately noticed the movement ahead, and concentrated their firepower to shoot at the collapsed puppet army. Only a few screams were heard, and a piece of backward puppet army fell down one after another.

"Damn it, a bunch of idiots!" Gu Xiuge couldn't help cursing.These puppet soldiers didn't quit fighting, but they messed up without killing any Japanese devils.The Japanese devils are not fools. There is an ambush on one side, but there is no one on the other side?Immediately, countless bullets followed the place where the national army was ambushing.

Although the national army did not flee like the puppet army, but they also panicked. Some people went directly into the trenches with their heads in their hands, and some fired back without waiting for orders. Instead, they exposed their positions and were attacked. Heavy artillery bombardment.

The deafening sound of gunfire finally woke Gu Xiuge up.He glanced at the Japanese army that had already started to deploy formation, gritted his teeth, and without hesitation, ordered: "Withdraw!" Once the puppet army was exposed in this way, they lost even the first-hand advantage of sneak attack, and if they persisted, they would really The only way to die.

If he didn't order again, Guo Wu couldn't help but want to knock him out and carry him away.

Gu Xiuge's order was conveyed, and the soldiers of the national army immediately and slowly withdrew from their positions in an orderly manner.After all, they are soldiers who have fought in wars. Unlike those frizzy puppet soldiers, they retreated quietly, trying to attract the attention of the Japanese army to the puppet troops to buy time to leave.

It went smoothly at the beginning, those puppet soldiers had already jumped up and fled straight, like live targets that caught people's attention, almost attracting all the artillery fire from the Japanese army, buying a lot of time for the national army to escape.However, the Japanese army soon discovered that there were ambushes on both sides of the gorge, and the ambush seemed to be two different teams. Yes, if they hadn't messed up their positions earlier, they wouldn't have exposed themselves; but although the people in the west made little noise, they were obviously well-trained, and they seemed to be able to fight.

So the chief of the Japanese army immediately ordered to separate two lightly armed squadrons to pursue the retreating Chinese soldiers on both wings.

The black dog fell behind the team, and he ran away from Ye Rongqiu when he was evacuating.A bullet flew past his cheek, and the Japanese army behind him had already caught up.He turned his head, and before he could aim, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the place where there were Japanese devils and raised his hand to shoot twice. His marksmanship had been practiced very accurately, and one devil fell down immediately.

"Bang!" Gunshots sounded beside him, and another Japanese devil fell down. It was Liu Wen who fired.Liu Wen didn't follow Gu Xiuge when retreating, and fell beside Heigou.

The black dog pulled him: "Go!"

Liu Wen looked calm, and fired a few more shots. These shots were missed and no one was hit, but the devils fell to the ground in order to avoid the guns, temporarily delaying the speed of the pursuit.

Liu Wen turned around and ran with the black dog. The black dog looked at him from the corner of his eye and found that his running posture was a bit strange, with the butt of the gun tightly pressed against his abdomen.

The black dog didn't care much, and anxiously looked for Ye Rongqiu among the crowd in front of him. Then he saw Ye Rongqiu who was running and looking around, so he quickened his pace and ran towards Ye Rongqiu.

"Tell the group seat..." He suddenly heard Liu Wen shouting from behind.But he didn't know who Liu Wen was shouting at, so he didn't turn his head and ran towards Ye Rongqiu wholeheartedly.

Ye Rongqiu finally found the black dog, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had already got rid of the Japanese soldiers chasing after him, not running away.

The black dog held the gun tightly and told him to run ahead of him: "Don't fall behind."

Ye Rongqiu only answered with one word: "Okay."

The remnants of the defeated generals of the national army supported each other, fighting and retreating all the way, fighting for a while with a few grenades, temporarily throwing a distance away from the biting Japanese army behind.

They no longer have time to count how many people they have left, they only know that they are running, and there are fewer and fewer people around them.Some people fell under the sound of gunfire, and some fled in other directions in panic and left the team. Gu Xiuge didn't have the heart to catch them back.At this point, there is no discipline at all, and the army has long been out of the army, and it may be lucky to be able to save my life in the end.Running all the way, from west to east, from north to south, every time they flee, more and more companions will be left behind. At the end of the run, no one knows how many people will be left.

Gu Xiuge ran at the rear of the team, turning his head all the way and shooting at the Japanese soldiers behind him.The gun in his hand was empty and he had no time to reload, so he grabbed another soldier's gun and continued shooting.

Guo Wu suddenly ran over, his face full of panic: "Tuan Zuo, where is Liu Wen?!"

Gu Xiuge was taken aback, and shouted: "Liu Wen?! Liu Wen?!"

No one responded to him.

Gu Xiuge asked Guo Wu: "What about the front? Is he in the front?!"

Guo Wu gritted his teeth: "No, I've already searched around! He's always by your side, unless you can't keep up!"

Gu Xiuge was startled, and his expression was in a trance for a while.Liu Wen... Can't keep up with him?

Guo Wu didn't say any more, he raised his gun and turned his head and ran in the direction the Japanese army was chasing.

Gu Xiuge grabbed him, in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"

Guo Wu shook off his hand directly, with a surprisingly calm expression on his face: "You know why I stay in this team!" His words were not questions, but extremely firm statements.

Gu Xiuge was dumbfounded, and stretched out his hand to fish, but it was only empty.Guo Wu had already run out.That's right, he did know the reason why Guo Wu stayed by his side, and even this was the means by which he worked hard to keep Guo Wu by his side.But now, his left arm is gone, and his right arm is about to be broken.

Gu Xiuge's running speed became slower and slower.

"Kill!"

The soldiers running ahead suddenly heard the heart-piercing cry of their regiment.The black dog turned his head, he only saw the last side profile of Gu Xiuge.He had never seen Gu Xiuge cry, but at that time, he vaguely felt that Gu Xiuge was crying.

Gu Xiuge's shout of killing was not an order, he didn't order anyone to follow him, he just stopped himself, and bit back in the direction he was rushing.The soldiers who were evacuating saw that their commander started to counterattack, they were at a loss for a while, some turned around and followed without thinking, some continued to run their own way, and some threw their tattered military uniforms into the ground. Hide in the fields.

Ye Rongqiu saw the black dog stop, and stopped too, looking at the black dog in a daze.

The black dog hesitated for two seconds, then grabbed Ye Rongqiu's hand: "Let's run!"

Ye Rongqiu didn't say a word, and continued to run forward with him.

The gunshots and shouts from behind made the black dog feel that his body was bleeding out, but he didn't know where the wound was, it just hurt more and more.

They didn't know the situation of Gu Xiuge and others, but the Japanese army's pursuit didn't seem to be delayed for too long, and soon they heard the Japanese army's shouts of killing from behind.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the black dog saw a cliff not far away.Below the cliff is the Changhe River. This section is the rapids section, and the billowing tide is rushing eastward.The black dog suddenly turned around and pulled Ye Rongqiu to run towards the cliff. Ye Rongqiu looked at him puzzled, and then looked back at the Japanese soldiers in yellow uniforms in the distance.

On the cliff, there is a long and swift river below.Ye Rongqiu already understood what Heigou was thinking: he wanted to take him to jump into the river and escape!

At this moment, the black dog let go of Ye Rongqiu's hand, and took the only grenade from Ye Rongqiu's waist: "Don't wait for me."

Ye Rongqiu was taken aback.Before he could understand the meaning of Heigou's words, he was suddenly pushed by a strong force on his back, and he couldn't help but fell forward and fell into the rushing river!

The river instantly submerged him, and Ye Rongqiu was almost knocked out by the impact of the oncoming water. He struggled to float up, and the muddy river water entered his eyes, making him unable to see clearly what was in front of him. He vaguely saw the black dog , seems to be still standing on the cliff.He opened his mouth to shout, but the river water poured directly into his mouth, and he fell into the vortex of the water again without yelling.

The rolling tide pushed him away, and he sank into the river. The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing could not be heard, as if he had entered another world.He suddenly remembered that many days ago, the black dog had told him that if they got separated, no matter where the black dog went, as long as he stayed where he was, the black dog would come back to him.

"Don't wait for me." Just now, the black dog told him so.

He struggled frantically in the running water, but he could not go back except that his strength was gradually losing.
