In the windy and snowy night, a horse team was walking due north in the dark in the primeval forest.

At the front of the team, Unakan was listening intently to the goings-on around her. Behind her, Zhao Jinyu, who was riding on horseback, would hit the stirrups with the saber in his hand from time to time, intimidating the peeping wolves around.

things.

Behind him, the three Qiu brothers, who were also riding on horseback, could not help but look back from time to time to glance at Hu Bazhi and Wei Ran, who were walking at the end on mules and horses.

As for Hu Bazhi, this experienced hunter and resistance fighter was rarely distracted and didn't care at all about the mules carrying straw men connected by the reins in his hands.

At the end of the team, Wei Ran squinted his eyes and looked at the mules and horses that seemed to be missing in the wind and snow in front of him. From time to time, he would also check the two arms of pine branches dragged by the biting horse and the mule leading beside him.

Making sure they stirred up the snow behind them and barely covered the horse's hoof prints.

After two hours of long but slow progress, the surrounding vegetation gradually became sparse and the terrain gradually became flat. However, the wind and snow also gradually became lighter, and the sky gradually became brighter.

Amid the mixed emotions of anxiety, nervousness and vigilance, the coniferous forests on both sides were gradually left behind. As far as the eye could see, there were large areas of water bubbles waiting to thaw in the coming spring.

"Let's run"

Unakan said, pointing in a direction with the riding crop in his hand, "Keep running that way!"

"drive!"

Almost at the same time, everyone shouted to the mules and horses to start speeding up.

The dim night, the cold wind blowing like a knife, and even the snowflakes that hit them so hard that they could barely open their eyes made the sound of horses' hooves hitting the frozen soil seem to be amplified countless times - even as they set off.

The horse's hooves were wrapped in animal skins.

Inevitably, everyone is worried about running into the Japanese team at such a critical moment. But even so, all they can do is to urge the mules and horses to run faster, and faster!

On the bumpy horseback, the three Qiu brothers leaned down as much as possible, stepped on the stirrups to clamp the horse, and at the same time grasped the saddle tightly, trying to reduce their windward side to ensure that they would not be thrown off.

Also galloping after them were the mules led by Hu Bazhi alone, with straw men tied to them. Because they had no weight, these mules, which were not good at running, could barely catch up with the army horses that were traveling with them.

After running like this for almost ten minutes, they saw that the forest sea behind them had long been covered by the night. All they could see was the endless wasteland with no edge at all, as well as large and small patches of forest scattered from time to time.

"How far do we have to run?" Zhao Jinyu asked as he caught up with Unakan in front.

"It's not that far!"

Unakan pointed forward with the riding crop in his hand, "Keep running forward. When you see a scene...stop quickly!"

Following Unakan's panicked reminder, everyone immediately reined in the horses and the running mules. At the same time, they also saw a horse team suddenly running out from the other side of the forest to the right, with the light of oil lamps and flashlight beams flashing.

“Woof woof woof woof——!”

Almost as soon as the three brothers of the Qiu family, who had been a little slow to react, finally reined in their horses and stopped with difficulty, the sound of barking dogs immediately came from the direction of the horse team, and together with it, there were also beams of flashlights.

Came over.

"Run! It's a Japanese dog with standing ears!"

Unakan reacted very quickly and shouted, turned the horse's head by the reins and ran to the side.

Almost subconsciously, the three Qiu brothers also anxiously urged their horses to follow.

In contrast, Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu drew their carbines at the same time, aimed in the direction of the beam, and decisively pulled the trigger!

"Bang!"

After two almost overlapping gunshots, two beams of luminous flashlights fell from the horses, and the horse team in the distance immediately dispersed.

"Let's go!"

Hu Bazhi shouted, reached out and took out a large handful of meat lumps from the big white mule's robe and threw them out.

"drive!"

Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu shouted to their horses and started running almost at the same time, chasing Hu Bazhi and Unakan and others in front and started running to the side.

At the same time, Wei Ran also cut off the pine branches held by the biting horse and the mule he was leading with a rope. As he ran, Hu Bazhi was still spreading meat lumps behind him.

"What are you talking about?!" Zhao Jinyu still had time to shout and asked, but he was not worried at all about the gunshots that rang out one after another behind him.

Don't talk about him, Wei Ran also didn't take the gunfire from behind seriously. Why did he and Zhao Jinyu fire those two seemingly unnecessary shots just now? They were just to seduce the Japanese patrolling on horseback to shoot!

But it's two different things to stop and ride on horseback to shoot at a target running towards you with a flashlight, and to ride on a running horse and shoot at a target that's also running. Can the latter be shot?

Hitting the target depends entirely on faith!

More importantly, Zhao Jinyu and Wei Ran, who have been cavalrymen, both know that when riding on horseback and shooting, they will subconsciously slow down the horse to some extent. This is their purpose of shooting to seduce each other! Not only that,

After those two shots, the flashlights of the pursuers behind him no longer dared to stay on!

"Meat lumps mixed with chicken fat and rat poison!"

Hu Bazhi replied as he continued to toss the poison bait prepared in advance, "It was originally a vicious method prepared for the wolves in the mountains. It is suitable for treating the devil's dogs."

"Brother Wei! Brother Hu! Listen to me!"

Zhao Jinyu rode up to him and shouted, "You two are taking Qiu..."

"We don't know Zhao Jinshan!"

Hu Bazhi didn't give Zhao Jinyu a chance to speak. He raised his head and shouted, "Sister, you..."

"Shut up, everyone! Follow closely!"

Unakan also didn't give Hu Ba Zhi a chance to finish his words. She didn't care what plans Hu Ba Zhi, Zhao Jinyu or even Wei Ran had. She wanted to take them all across the river smoothly!

Unakan's voice was carried by the wind into the ears of everyone behind him, "Run into the forest in front, I can get rid of them! Run faster!"

Hearing this, the six people following him whipped their horses hard on their butts, and ran towards the forest where they could not see them at all costs.

However, when I could finally see the outline of the forest vaguely in the wind and snow directly ahead, there was a series of flashlight beams on the edge of the forest!

The terrible thing is that not only part of the beams of this series of flashlights ran towards them, but also part of them ran to the north, obviously to prevent them from crossing the river!

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a burst of gunfire from the direction of the oncoming cavalry, and Boss Qiu also let out a scream and fell off his horse!

Before he could stop rolling in the snow, Zhao Jinyu had already galloped over, leaned forward to fish it out, and dragged him onto his horse again!

"Run south!"

At the critical moment, Hu Bazhi shouted loudly, "Unakan! Run south!"

"Going back to the forest?" Unakan shouted and asked while pulling the reins to change direction.

"Yes!" Hu Bazhi responded loudly, "Where did Boss Qiu get shot?"

"Arm! Brother Wei! Come and take a look!"

As soon as Zhao Jinyu finished speaking, Wei Ran ran over, touched Boss Qiu's shoulder with his hand, and then said loudly amidst his screams, "The bones of his right arm were broken by a bullet! Use a rope to tie him up first.

!”

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu immediately pulled out a rope from the horse bag, and under Wei Ran's guidance, strangled the wound on Boss Qiu's arm to complete the initial hemostasis.

Amidst the shouts, screams, gunshots and busyness, everyone had to run in the direction they came from.

"Everyone listen to me!"

Hu Bazhi said, "Wunakan! Jinyu! Take the Qiu brothers into the woods ahead!"

"What about you!" Zhao Jinyu and Unakan asked in unison.

"Even if you die, you still have to complete your mission!"

Hu Ba pointed his finger at the question and shouted, "You must send the letter back, don't let Xiaohu and the others miss it! Also, when you cross the river, remember to light a fire so that we can see it! Brother Wei! Let's go!"

Before Hu Bazhi finished speaking, Wei Ran had already increased his horse speed and came closer. Ignoring the calls of Unakan and Zhao Jinyu, he followed Hu Bazhi and the mules he was leading and ran to the southwest!

After the two sides had distanced themselves, the two men pulled off the lampshades of the oil lamps on the mules one by one, then took out the box cannon and casually pulled the trigger toward the pursuers behind them to attract attention.

"Let's go!"

Unakan shouted anxiously, urging Zhao Jinyu and the Qiu brothers to follow her, following the horse's hoof prints left when they came, and ran towards a forest not far away that they had just passed by.

She didn't tell anyone that during the last break, Hu Bazhi also talked to her while the others were sleeping, just like she hadn't told anyone about the plan that Zhao Jinyu had discussed with her.

Same.

For this young girl, all she has to do is to choose a plan and put it into action.

But looking at it now, it is obvious that Hu Bazhi’s plan is more in line with the current situation!

Taking advantage of the shadow of the forest in front of them and the horse hoof prints they had left before, Unakan urged Zhao Jinyu and the Qiu brothers to run into the forest and hide.

As they watched helplessly, the Japs gradually surrounded the mule team with lanterns hanging on them led by Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi.

Or rather, they led their pursuers back into the mountains and forests.

"Walk!"

Zhao Jinyu gritted his teeth and shouted, hugged the injured Boss Qiu, and was the first to leave the forest on horseback. He once again followed the horse's hoof prints they had just left, taking Unakan and Xiaosi'er who turned back frequently behind him.

He Yongwu, amidst the increasingly distant gunfire, ran towards Heilongjiang again!

At the same time, Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi, who had already run into the forest with their mules and horses, had already distanced themselves from the mules and horses carrying the straw men on their backs, and pulled the trigger again and again, desperately attracting the attention of those behind them.
